| [00:17] <evil_tech> its a mystery | |
| [01:54] <evil_tech> could someone point me to a link that explains how to pass kernel and module parameters | |
| [02:13] <newUser> is there someone who can help me | |
| [02:14] <newUser> i need to install xubuntu in PC a for PC b | |
| [02:15] <zoredache> sorry? | |
| [02:15] <newUser> i have a laptop without cd-rom and no floppy and no lan / internet | |
| [02:16] <newUser> so i take the harddrive and install xubuntu on my pc | |
| [02:16] <newUser> and the move the disk again to my laptop | |
| [02:16] <newUser> is it possible | |
| [02:16] <zoredache> yes, it is possible | |
| [02:16] <newUser> is there any special trick that need to be done ? | |
| [02:17] <iCEifer> hello, how can I get the xfce-dusk theme to work with Ubuntu? can I download it? | |
| [02:17] <zoredache> disconnect the hard drive that is actually in your desktop computer so the laptop drive will be the only drive | |
| [02:18] <newUser> hmm thnk :) | |
| [02:18] <zoredache> make sure you install, or at least download everything you will need | |
| [02:18] <zoredache> installing software without a network connection really won't work well. Make sure your laptop will be supported | |
| [02:19] <zoredache> how old of a laptop are you talking about anyway? does it have usb ports? | |
| [02:19] <newUser> with xubuntu i hope i got pcmcia working then connect internet | |
| [02:19] <newUser> its fujitsu b2620 with broken lan | |
| [02:20] <newUser> thank you zoredache | |
| [04:03] <|Quest|> anyone happen to know how to passively decrypt ssl packets from a mitm? | |
| [04:05] <zoredache> it isn't possible unless you can insert a ca certificate on the clients | |
| [04:06] <zoredache> or the clients are dumb enough to ignore the browser warnings telling them the certificates are crap | |
| [04:06] <|Quest|> zoredache talking to me? | |
| [04:07] * zoredache nods | |
| [04:07] <|Quest|> k | |
| [04:08] <zoredache> what are you trying to do, or do I want to know... | |
| [04:10] <|Quest|> i don't understand how it's not possible,it's confusing.how does the browser decrypt it? | |
| [04:11] <zoredache> here is a video with a metaphor | |
| [04:11] <zoredache> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex_ObHVftDg | |
| [04:16] <|Quest|> zoredache - why can't i inject something in the client side | |
| [04:16] <zoredache> what do you mean why can't you inject something client side? | |
| [04:19] <zoredache> I told you. If you could get the client to install a forged CA certificate then you could intercept things. But that isn't something that is very easy to do | |
| [08:01] <la_loOse> hi | |
| [08:34] <alex_> i installed xubuntu-desktop, and it made my titlebars disappear in gnome, can anyone tell me why? | |

| [11:22] <march> tschüss | |
| [13:31] <gerro> hello | |
| [14:32] <gerro> bleh laptop troubles but I'm back | |
| [14:33] <gerro> think the thing is overheating or something | |
| [14:33] <gerro> anyway I read this article about conky and other system monitors I ws wondering what this statement meant " Conky is very flexible and very configurable but because it's defaultly in the root window makes it unsympathic." | |
| [14:34] <stmartin> Hi! I wanna ask you how to safely plug-out flash memory on xubuntu? | |
| [14:37] <gerro> stmartin: when you see the icon on your desktop right click it and choose unmount | |
| [14:37] <stmartin> ok, thanks | |
| [14:37] <gerro> otherwise it might still be writing stuff | |
| [14:37] <stmartin> and how to see my files on my win xp drives (c: and d:), I have dual boot | |
| [14:38] <gerro> it should be displayed already.. isn't it? | |
| [14:38] <stmartin> no | |
| [14:38] <gerro> if its not you'd have to add its configuration into /etc/fstab | |
| [14:39] <gerro> it might already be there but commented out so you don't accidentally trash your windows drive not knowing what it is | |
| [14:39] <stmartin> I receive this error | |
| [14:39] <stmartin> error: device /dev/sda5 is not removable | |
| [14:39] <stmartin> error: could not execute pmount | |
| [14:40] <gerro> sda5 is which device now? | |
| [14:40] <gerro> df -H to see a listing of them | |
| [14:43] <stmartin> I used diskmounter script | |
| [14:43] <stmartin> and it worked | |
| [14:44] <stmartin> thanks for the help, anyway | |
| [14:45] <gerro> alright is it permanently added into /etc/fstab though? | |
| [14:45] <gerro> otherwise you'll have to redo it at every boot | |
| [14:46] <stmartin> It said that they are permanently added | |
| [14:46] <stmartin> but they are read-only | |
| [14:46] <stmartin> how can I paste something in them? | |
| [14:46] <gerro> yeah to change that you have to edit it yourself | |
| [14:46] <gerro> ntfs support has come a long way since then | |
| [14:48] <gerro> hmm might not be a good idea giving user access to that drive though | |
| [14:48] <gerro> can't you still write to it as root? | |
| [14:49] <gerro> gabkdlly: yo | |
| [14:50] <gabkdlly> greetings | |
| [15:03] <sigma_123> why does xubuntu not have a battery manager for laptops? | |
| [15:04] <sigma_123> in the taskbar like how kde and gnome do | |
| [15:05] <gerro> it does | |
| [15:05] <gerro> right click and choose add new item | |
| [15:05] <gerro> scroll down the list to battery | |
| [15:06] <sigma_123> ah i see. il try that after its finished installing | |
| [15:06] <sigma_123> thanks | |
| [15:07] <sigma_123> i also noticed that the shutdown shortcut on the main menu does not work. why is this? | |
| [15:08] <gerro> try applications > settings > sessions and startup all things pertaining to that should be there | |
| [15:08] <sigma_123> im refering to gutsy gibbon | |
| [15:09] <gerro> yeah of course | |
| [15:10] <sigma_123> ok but when you click the menu shortcut it goes nowhere. but the button in the taskbar gives the shutdown options | |
| [15:11] <Usuario> hello, a question, it is possible to install eeexubuntu from a sd card, in my eeepc ?? | |
| [15:12] <gerro> eeexubuntu?? | |
| [15:12] <Usuario> yes, a modified xubuntu version for the eeepc | |
| [15:12] <gerro> its possible to install systems from sd card.. but not usually done | |
| [15:12] <gerro> probably best to use a flash drive | |
| [15:13] <Usuario> yes thats true, but i have actually the eeepc, a sd card, a pc and the netinst cd | |
| [15:14] <gerro> no clue, you tried checking the forum? if nothing there might want to make a post | |
| [15:14] <Usuario> so wanted to know if it was possible.... althrought i have to buy a flash memory | |
| [15:15] <gerro> can probably just borrow someones if you know of someone | |
| [15:15] <gerro> just be sure to remove the boot flag when your done might cause them troubles | |
| [15:16] <Usuario> okay! thanks | |
| [15:25] <stmartin> gerro can u help me? | |
| [15:25] <stmartin> I still can't find the ntfs-config package | |
| [15:25] <gerro> ntfs-config package? | |
| [15:26] <stmartin> yes | |
| [15:26] <stmartin> I have 6.06 LST Dapper | |
| [15:26] <stmartin> how can I make read-write | |
| [15:26] <gerro> I'm sorry not experienced in handling that version dual booted | |
| [15:26] <gerro> like i've said you have to edit /etc/fstab | |
| [15:27] <gerro> should be a howto on the ubuntu site | |

| [18:35] <martinZGR> hello, i'm on xubuntu 7.10... do you know anything about charging devices from USB? i didn't try it by now cause first i want to discharge it and then fully charge - but i've heard that sometimes due to power saving settings charging does not defaultly work | |
| [18:38] <PeckaH> well, at least my mp3-player is charged | |
| [18:43] <martinZGR> ok,thanks:) hope my will work too:) | |
| [20:17] <darkk^> what web-browser, IM client and office tools are used in xubuntu ? | |
| [20:18] <darkk^> or redirect me to right place please, I tried to find software list at xubuntu website, but found nothing. | |
| [20:20] <vidd> firefox, pidgin, abi-word, gnumeric spreadsheet | |
| [20:23] <darkk^> Is it possible to change abi-word/gnumeric to OOo without headache about integration? Is it as simple as "aptitude install ..." ? | |
| [20:26] <vidd> yep | |
| [20:27] <vidd> apt-get install [opplication] then (if you want) apt-get remove [other apps] | |
| [20:30] <darkk^> Ok, happy to hear that, going to try xubuntu on low-mem (256mb) machine. I know, that OOo will be slow there, but abi-word had lots of issues while reading M$ .doc's. | |
| [20:30] <darkk^> Thank you for this metapackage. | |

| [22:46] <Ryuki> hello. | |
| [22:56] <soldats> hello | |
| [22:56] <Ryuki> okay. I have question on STV0689 driver. | |
| [22:56] <Ryuki> it's a webcam driver, but I tried to figure out how to get it working. | |
| [23:11] <Ryuki> anybody? | |
| [23:35] <Ryuki> wow really quiet. | |
| [23:40] <castrox> guys.. just installed xubuntu on an old laptop.. everything works fine for me except the graphics.. it has a neomagic video card. Seems the installation picked up on this and seemingly installed the driver.. but I cannot "modprobe neomagic" since that module doesn't exist. Any ideas? Shouldn't it exist? xorg.conf has it as a loadable module. | |
| [23:41] <castrox> of course lsmod doesn't yield any neomagic driver. | |
| [23:41] <soldats> !neomagic | |
| [23:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about neomagic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | |
| [23:42] <castrox> I'm afraid I've searched the almighty google for quite a while. :-( | |
| [23:42] <Ryuki> lol me too | |
| [23:43] <castrox> having problems with neomagic? | |
| [23:43] <Ryuki> nope | |
| [23:43] <Ryuki> I jsut have problems with my webcam | |
| [23:43] <Ryuki> everyone is quiet lol | |
| [23:44] <soldats> castrox, did yousee this i didnt read it but it yet though http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/x11/xserver-xorg-driver-neomagic | |
| [23:44] <Ryuki> http://pastebin.com/m4df555a2 It is my decive name, and I did read the webcam site | |
| [23:44] <castrox> funny thing I installed xubuntu on an old Dell the other day.. like a week ago.. has Neomagic aswell.. worked fine - loaded the neomagic module and everything.. this IBM laptop didn't get it :-\ | |
| [23:44] <castrox> soldats, checking | |
| [23:45] <castrox> soldats, yeah it's installed in fact. Weird huh.. it only installs a *.so file - and not a *.ko. Don't know what I'm supposed to do with that. Any idea? | |
| [23:48] <soldats> .so is the for nameserver for somolia i thought | |
| [23:48] <castrox> searching the system for neomagic only turns up some uninteresting man pages and the exact files listed in the repos.. which includes a *.so file. | |
| [23:48] <soldats> hmm wierd | |
| [23:49] <soldats> maybe try looking for all the packages on the other laptop and see what the other doesnt have and install the missing ones | |
| [23:50] <castrox> soldats, don't have it at home right now.. :{ | |
| [23:51] <castrox> checking if anyone had this problem on #ubuntu, thanks for helping soldats | |
| [23:52] <methods[laptop]> i installed xubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop together but when my system loads i see the xfce boot image i would like ubuntu to my dominant desktop... how do i change this ? | |
| [23:52] <soldats> np sorry i havent ever dealt with neomagic so im not too sure | |
| [23:54] <castrox> methods[laptop], you mean at the boot? system startup? or the login manager or what? | |

| [23:55] <methods[laptop]> at boot | |
| [23:55] <methods[laptop]> i see xubuntu | |
| [23:55] <castrox> methods[laptop], because you've installed xubuntu, correct? And you have another installation with ubuntu or? | |
| [23:56] <methods[laptop]> xubuntu was my cd install... and i used apt-get to install ubuntu-desktop | |
| [23:56] <soldats> xubuntu is ubuntu with xfce so naturally xfce will be the dominant boot image | |
| [23:58] <soldats> ubuntu desktop basically installes gnome and nautilus i believe but youll have to make the default boot to gnome for a different image i believe but im not sure how to do it i havent used ubuntu gnome in a long time | |
