xubuntu305Hey guys. I'm going to preface this by saying I'm brand new to linux, so I'm sorry if I end up asking something stupid.01:18
xubuntu305Anyways, I have a question about AMD Catalyst drivers01:19
xubuntu305On my completely fresh install of xubuntu 12.10, I tried "sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates fglrx-updates-dev"01:21
xubuntu305I let it do its thing, and when it was finished, I tried the command "sudo aticonfig --lsa"01:22
xubuntu305this returned the message "aticonfig: no supported adapters detected"01:23
xubuntu305Did I do something wrong?01:23
kRushwhat card you have?01:26
xubuntu305Oh right. I have two 7870's01:26
kRushI think that might be to new for the drivers from the repo01:29
bbajohey01:29
xubuntu305Ok. So I should get ones from the AMD site?01:30
bbajoi'm trying to set a local static IP on my Desktop behind a router01:30
bbajowhich file should I edit, also what dhcp package needs to be removed? thanks01:30
bbajocheck01:31
kRushxubuntu305, go with the latest beta from AMD. oddly stable was borked for me01:32
kRushbbajo, no need to remove anything, just edit your connection settings (via tray icon)01:33
bbajoi thought i needed to remove dhcp  so my computer doesn't request a new ip01:33
bbajoi'll try the tray01:33
bbajoi'm in ipv4 settings right now01:34
bbajohow do i put in multiple dns servers?01:37
bbajothere is one line for it01:38
bbajodo I use commas?01:38
bbajowhat is search domains?01:40
xubuntu804Hi - just wondering what the best way is to locate drivers for my older epsom workforce 520 all-in-one printer. Epsom's do not work for xubuntu, as far as I can tell (I'm new to linux)01:40
xubuntu804*epson (not a bath salt or as british place)01:41
kRushhave you tried the built in printer setup?01:49
holsteinxubuntu804: i have had many epson printers that work.. just try it with the GUI as kRush suggested02:31

=== CraHan is now known as CraHan|out
superprowerhow to know which size of icons i using?13:45
knomesuperprower, whatever size that is appropriate. depends on a lot of things.13:47
superprowerknome, sorry, i'am don't understand this. My english is very bad. Can you repeat this easier, please?13:49
knomesuperprower, there is no single correct answer.13:49
knomesuperprower, you might be using any, or every, depending on the situation.13:50
superprowerknome, oh, well. So i need to replace each size of icons, if i need to use new icons everywhere?13:50
knomesuperprower, yes13:51
superprowerknome, thanks13:51
knomesuperprower, what's your native language? there are channels in various languages available if that'd be easier for you?13:52

gecko_x2hi20:01
gecko_x2how can i increase swap size easily?20:01
holsteingecko_x2: i would just use gparted.. though, i would likely elaborate, and probably end up determining its not needed20:01
gecko_x2# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation20:01
gecko_x2#UUID=ca409d45-3483-412c-9b33-6b75ca1bd93a none            swap    sw              0       020:01
gecko_x2well20:02
gecko_x2only got a gig of ram20:02
holsteinok.. and you are having issues where you run out of ram?20:02
gecko_x2and trying to compile toolchain with crossdev-ng20:02
holsteinhow big is the swap?20:02
gecko_x2ram out of ram and swap20:02
gecko_x2i dunno20:02
gecko_x2new system, new to ubuntu20:02
holsteinsounds like you are expecting too much from the hardware.. but, i would use gparted20:02
gecko_x2oh20:03
gecko_x2it's 1 gig20:03
gecko_x2a partition20:03
gecko_x2thought it was a file..20:03
holsteingecko_x2: its a partition.. not like a page file20:03
gecko_x2k k20:03
gecko_x2well i should create a 4 GB swap file and use that20:04
gecko_x2i just need this thing to compile :\20:04
holsteinthere really is not "should". just what you need20:04
gecko_x2so..20:04
holsteingecko_x2: gparted is the tool i use to resize partition.. you could take a 4gb (or more) USB stick or *any* drive, and make a swap partition on it, and unmount the current swap and mount it20:05
gecko_x2dd if =/dev/zero of=/var/swap..20:05
holsteingecko_x2: i dont use dd.. i use gparted20:05
gecko_x2well there's no free space on the hdd20:05
holsteingecko_x2: correct.. you will use gparted to relaim that space, or use *any* other hard drive to create a swap partition20:06
holsteinsay, you had a 20GB hard drive.. with 19 for OS and 1 for swap. you go and resize the OS partition to 16 and the swap to 420:06
gecko_x2k.. iinstalling gparted20:06
holsteinOR, you plug in *any* drive, and create whatever size swap you want/need.. unmount the current swap and mount it20:07
holsteinthat can be a USB stick20:07
gecko_x2i'll try to resize20:07
gecko_x2should u use swapoff first?20:07
holsteingecko_x2: resizing partitions is *not* trivial20:07
holsteingecko_x2: as i said, i would use a live CD20:07
gecko_x2god damnit20:08
holsteingecko_x2: you dont install gparted into the current os20:08
gecko_x2just need this thing to compile20:08
holsteingecko_x2: also, please dont curse20:08
gecko_x2:p20:08
holsteingecko_x2: nothing about xubuntu is preventing that compiling.. if you need bigger swap you can have that20:08
gecko_x2i'd rather just create a file with dd and use that as swap for now20:09
holsteinresizing partitions is *not* trivial.. i would have my data backedup.. or, just use another device20:09
gecko_x2no need for rebooting etc20:09
holsteingecko_x2: im sure you would like to just use the machine to do what you are trying to do... but, thats not the case.. you have configuring the machine incorrectly for the task you are trying to do20:09
holsteingecko_x2: you can, and should use gparted to create the partitions.. its a GUI tool.. i would suggest it and not dd20:10
holstein!dd20:10
gecko_x2lol20:10
gecko_x2i'm creating the swap file.20:10
gecko_x2i just said i can't run gparted on a live system20:10
holsteingecko_x2: you *can* and will have to if you want to resize the os partition20:11
gecko_x2lol20:11
gecko_x2i'm making the file with dd20:11
holsteingecko_x2: not likely20:12
gecko_x2why lol20:12
holsteingecko_x2: but, feel free and do what you like.. enjoy! and good luck20:12
holsteindd can really ruin things if you are not comfortable with it20:12
gecko_x2look20:12
gecko_x2all i'm doing is creating a file, running mkswap and swapon on it20:12
holsteingecko_x2: sure.. as i said, enjoy20:13
gecko_x2it's not like the motherboard will explode20:13
gecko_x2lol20:13
holsteingecko_x2: i never said anything about the motherboard20:13
holsteingecko_x2: dd is nicknamed "disk destroyer".. you can search and read about how you can break things20:13
holsteingecko_x2: if i were making a swap parition, i would use a partition command.. or the GUI i suggested20:14
holsteinif you want to use dd, a tool that is not intended for creating partitions, and is able to wipe out data easily just by switching syntax, for for it.. but, i have, and still do suggest a tool designed for the task at hand20:15
gecko_x2i created the file20:15
gecko_x2swapon /tmp/swapfile20:15
