toraxI think some 4gb swap will be more than enough00:00
Krasusk00:00
David-AKrasus: 1G or 0.5G swap is fine, some people settle with no swap at all, but i think some swap is good to have on a desktop system00:01
Krasustorax, do u know about my parttition problem ?00:01
Krasusthx David-A00:01

keithclarkDue to my distaste for Unity I've decided to give Xubuntu a fair shot.  I like what I've seen so far, but everything is sooooo blue.  Any suggestions for themes/wallpaper sources to cure this?00:57

homebrewciderhi there, I have a xubuntu desktop with vinagre (remote desktop) installed. I have a second pc with xubuntu and mythbuntu installed. I can't login to the second one via the remote desktop program, I can log in via ssh though. I need to get the remote desktop via vnc going, can someone help please07:57
xubuntuserHow can I boot into Windows7? Can see it in Grub menu but selecting this just returns to Grub screen again. Boots fine into Xubuntu though.08:00
well_laid_lawnhomebrewcider: do you have any sort of vnc server running on the other comp?08:09
well_laid_lawn!grub08:10
ubottuGRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10)08:10
xubuntuserubottu: It's grub2 itslef. I just can't get into Windows7. However Windows7 is listed in grub menu.08:13
ubottuxubuntuser: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)08:13
xubuntuserwell_laid_lawn: It's grub2 itslef. I just can't get into Windows7. However Windows7 is listed in grub menu. (Guess your reply was pointed to me)08:14
homebrewciderwell_laid_lawn - as far as I know08:14
well_laid_lawnhomebrewcider: well, which port did you set the vnc server to be on? Stuff like that is important. Xubuntu doesn't come with a servr08:16
well_laid_lawnxubuntuser: I was just seeing if there was a bot link to help you out. I know nothing about windows08:17
xubuntuserwell_laid_lawn: oh..thanks btw.. i actually can see my win7 partition in grub ..08:19
homebrewciderbrb08:20
well_laid_lawndoes the menu entry point to the right partition08:20
=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se
xubuntuserwell_laid_lawn: yes. seems so..sda1..any chance grub might have overwritten win7 bootloader? i think i had selected hda to install grub rather than /hda/sda2 (xbuntu partition)08:23
well_laid_lawnprobably could have08:23
well_laid_lawnthere will be plenty on the web about checking that08:24
well_laid_lawnI've never even seen win708:24

ubottuIf you install a development version of Ubuntu Quantal and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.10 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal.09:30

homebrewciderHI, one of the computers on my network can ping and be pinged but it will not update or connect to the internet itself. can someone help please12:37
toraxhomebrewcider: are you using NAT?12:41
homebrewciderhow do I fond out13:00
homebrewciderfind out13:01
toraxhomebrewcider: what is your ip addres, open terminal type ifconfig13:08
homebrewciderthe computer in question, I have assigned a static ip of  192.168.1.4913:09
holsteinhomebrewcider: can you ping google from the machine? ping google.com13:15
homebrewciderno I can't13:18
homebrewciderunknown host13:18
holsteinhomebrewcider: i would just check the network config.. make sure DNS is as expected13:20
holsteinhomebrewcider: i suppose at some point i might throw a live CD in the machine to test the networking hardware if i "hit a wall" with it13:21
homebrewciderokay, the live cd option...13:21
homebrewcider?13:22
holsteinhomebrewcider: the live CD would take all of my configuration form my current install out of the equation.. easily13:22
holsteinif the machine *doesnt* get online from a live CD, then i can stop fiddlying with the OS.. i can look to driver support, or hardare issues.. or network configuration13:23
homebrewciderokay< I'm assuming I have to run a command at a shell when the live cd boots13:23
holsteinhomebrewcider: you shouldnt... you didnt when you installed xubuntu, correct?13:24
homebrewcideroh I see what you're gtting at13:24
homebrewciderI was thinking rescue mode13:24
homebrewcideryeah, I'll try that then13:24
homebrewcidercheers, I'll do that tomorrow, getting late here13:25
holsteinthen, i would want to see the DHCP settings, and DNS... just typical network troublshooting13:25
holsteinhomebrewcider: you're issue has *nothing* to do with updates however13:25
homebrewcidercheers for your help13:25
homebrewciderok13:25
holsteinso, next time you ask, you can just say "im on whatever version of whatever operating system using whatever device, and its not geting online"13:26
holsteinhomebrewcider: when you say "static IP".. i would look at whate made that IP static13:27
homebrewcidergo on13:27
toraxid say its just NAT13:27
holsteinhomebrewcider: im suggesting whatever you did to make it static is the issue... i would try DHCP.. i would try specifying a DNS server in the static IP config13:28
holsteini moved my server machine over to my parents house... i had to specify a DNS server to get it to connect to anything.. i used the opendns ip's13:29
homebrewciderok, I'll look at all this tomorrow13:30
homebrewcidercheers13:30

TheSheepqwerty1234: how did you "save them as mp3 files"?20:38
qwerty1234The website I use requires me to input the url of the video and it converts it to an mp3 file and then I download the file20:39
qwerty1234But when I try to open it the error message comes up20:39
TheSheepqwerty1234: can you play other mp3 files fine?20:39
