| [09:34] <medfly> hai guys. i'm trying to install xubuntu on my old (1999) laptop, and it always ends up showing me a blinking _ in the end, when i try to install. | |
| [09:37] <medfly> i'm njot sure how to make it show me errors. | |
| [09:37] <nikolam> what version of xubuntu, how much ram on machine, what it displays before "_", is it working something while displaying it, did you check your CD, did you set your compouter bios to boot from CD.. | |
| [09:39] <medfly> uhm... i got the most recent thing, 8.04, 64mb (or was it 128mb? ram), i did check my CD, it did boot from CD | |
| [09:39] <medfly> and before that, it shows a graphical loading screen. | |
| [09:40] <nikolam> do you use alternate install CD? | |
| [09:40] <medfly> no | |
| [09:40] <nikolam> With that amount of RAM (64mb) only alternate will work | |
| [09:41] <medfly> i imagined it'd be slow, but not show a blinking _ | |
| [09:41] <nikolam> I suggest you to expand your ram if you can | |
| [09:41] <medfly> well, its a laptop :/ | |
| [09:41] <nikolam> desktop cd will NOT boot on that amount of ram | |
| [09:41] <nikolam> laptops can be expanded with ram, too | |
| [09:42] <nikolam> I suggest you to even try alternate install, or expand your ram with ,again alternate install or you can try to use something like Damn small linux | |
| [09:43] <nikolam> I have 2GB in machine and I still use alternate install CD for Xubuntu to install | |
| [09:44] <medfly> uhmm... can i somehow check dmesg to see if all my devices work? | |
| [09:51] <nikolam> Ctrl+Alt+F2 for console | |
| [09:51] <nikolam> But try alternate cd or DSL or expland your ram | |
| [09:51] <medfly> i can use DSL to expand my ram? | |
| [09:52] <nikolam> DamnSmallLinux is a linux distribution, based on .deb packages, specially made for older computers with low amount of ram | |
| [09:52] <nikolam> it should work on 64mb like a charm | |
| [09:52] <medfly> oh... right | |
| [09:53] <nikolam> alternate xubuntu should work on 64 mb but 128 mb is low end in practice | |
| [09:53] <medfly> yeah, i just want something that supports connecting my laptop to the router by USB. plenty of things work :-) | |
| [09:53] <nikolam> You could also try Zenwalk Linux before reverting to DSL | |
| [09:54] <medfly> alt+ctrl+f2 doesnt work.. | |
| [09:54] <nikolam> There is not much difference between linux`es when supporting hardware. It`s just about implementation | |
| [10:22] <AlexCONRAD> hi, when I set "Enable Automatic Login" in xubuntu, in which file does it actually stores the data ? | |
| [10:22] <TheSheep> AlexCONRAD: what data? | |

| [10:23] <AlexCONRAD> hello TheSheep, yes | |
| [10:23] <AlexCONRAD> I need to write this to disk during my automatic setup | |
| [10:23] <TheSheep> in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, afaik | |
| [10:23] <AlexCONRAD> thanks, i'll look for something here | |

| [10:28] <jeanne> hello | |
| [10:28] <jeanne> I am new to xubuntu and need your help_ | |
| [10:29] <jeanne> does anyone of you know in which directory kpdf is located ? | |
| [10:30] <jeanne> I want to set kpdf for opening of pdf-files, but I dont find its location. | |
| [10:36] <TheSheep> xubuntu uses evince, not kpdf | |
| [10:36] <TheSheep> it might be not installed | |
| [10:44] <jeanne> i have kpdf installed | |
| [10:44] <jeanne> I will have a look if I have evince | |
| [10:44] <jeanne> I have evince | |
| [10:45] <jeanne> do you know where this program is located/which path does it have ? | |
| [10:46] <jeanne> when I click on pdf files in the webbrower it asks me with which program I want to open it | |
| [10:46] <jeanne> and I dont know how to set it because I dont find its location | |
| [10:47] * jeanne is new to linux... | |
| [10:47] <TheSheep> open a termin and type 'dpkg -L kpdf', that will list all files installed with that package | |

| [10:52] <TheSheep> jeanne: please use pastebin next time | |
| [10:52] <jeanne> back | |
| [10:52] <jeanne> sorry for floading | |
| [10:52] <TheSheep> !paste | |
| [10:52] <ubottu> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | |
| [10:52] <jeanne> whats that ? | |
| [10:53] <TheSheep> jeanne: there should be some file in /usr/bin | |
| [10:53] <TheSheep> jeanne: that's usually the executable | |
| [10:53] <jeanne> ah | |
| [10:54] <jeanne> I think I have found it | |
| [10:54] <TheSheep> great | |
| [10:54] <TheSheep> btw, if you know the command and look for the file, you can use: which command | |
| [10:54] <jeanne> :D | |
| [10:54] <jeanne> hooray | |
| [10:54] <TheSheep> for example, which kpdf | |
| [10:54] <jeanne> it works ! thank you | |
| [10:55] <jeanne> ah which command is very good | |
| [10:55] <jeanne> changed from windows | |
| [11:14] <AlexCONRAD> strange, i've just automated autologin by sed'ing the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf ... but it doesn't work. And when I go in Applications > Login Window > Security tab, it's not enabled. I guess the configuration is stored whereelse. | |
| [11:15] <AlexCONRAD> elsewhere* | |
| [11:17] <AlexCONRAD> oh, I think that setting autologin from the GUI generates a /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom | |
| [11:22] <kalabaw> is there a way to change the size of the icons on the Thunar toolbar? | |

| [13:34] <cody-somerville> Chillin! :) | |
| [13:35] <cody-somerville> Want to add it to the Ubuntu wiki? ;] | |
| [13:35] <Odd-rationale> cody-somerville: feel free to do so. you may have to change a few ubuntu specific stuff... | |
| [13:35] <Odd-rationale> like apt | |
| [13:36] <Odd-rationale> and linuxwacom is called wacom-tools in ubuntu | |
| [13:36] <Odd-rationale> iirc | |
| [13:38] <Odd-rationale> Also, arent there already several tablet guides in the ubuntu wiki? | |
| [13:40] <cody-somerville> I used your page to configure mine | |
| [13:40] <Odd-rationale> cody-somerville: btw, did the rotate script work for you? I think i'm the only person who uses it... :) So it could use some testing... | |
| [13:41] <cody-somerville> I didn't try it yes | |
| [13:41] <cody-somerville> *yet | |
| [13:41] <cody-somerville> Just entered the commands manually | |

| [13:50] <Odd-rationale> you have to add Option "Button2" "3" | |

| [17:15] <lc2> he could just right click on it and go delete, you know | |

| [17:16] <lc2> it was probably a troll anyway, since you don't install xubuntu and find yourself unable to right click in a file manager | |

| [19:24] <riddlebox> how can I get the ubuntu original toolbars, if I started with xubuntu? | |
| [19:24] <jimisrvrox> anybody here? | |
| [19:26] <Myrtti> sure | |
| [19:27] <jimisrvrox> ok cool right on | |
| [19:27] <jimisrvrox> well heres the deal I been having probs installing xubuntu on my machine | |
| [19:27] <jimisrvrox> trying to install xubuntu and am getting an error Warning: Failure trying to run: chroot /target dpkg --force-- depends--install var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-10ubuntu3_i386.deb | |
| [19:28] <jimisrvrox> I had installed PCLinuxOS on there and it was working but I couldnt update the package manager so I dumped it for xubuntu and then when I tried to install the base kernel it tells me that it cant do it so is there anyway that I could fix that stuff without having to do a full format which would take forever to do on a 40gb drive? | |
| [19:29] <Myrtti> I just formatted 200G to ext3 and it didn't take forever :-P | |
| [19:30] <jimisrvrox> ok but how would you do that from the ubuntu main menu? | |
| [19:30] <jimisrvrox> because I tried fdisk and that wouldnt work worth nothing | |
| [19:32] <Myrtti> mkfs.ext3 /dev/<device>? | |
| [19:32] <Myrtti> in terminal, with sudo | |
| [19:33] <Myrtti> mkfs anyway | |
| [19:35] <jimisrvrox> yeah well heh im a linux n00b | |
| [19:35] <jimisrvrox> but im telling you I dont have the konsole to do nothing | |
| [19:36] <jimisrvrox> all im doing is overwriting the PCLinuxOS with Xubuntu and I get as far as installing the base kernel and it tells me that it cant do it | |
| [19:36] <jimisrvrox> so im not even in the gui interface | |
| [19:36] <jimisrvrox> im in the dos-style shit | |
| [19:36] <Myrtti> meh | |
| [19:37] <jimisrvrox> so what should I do? | |
| [19:37] <jimisrvrox> its not like I could get like a linux bootdisk and do an fdisk no? | |
| [19:38] <jimisrvrox> kinda like winblows | |
| [19:40] <Myrtti> hmmm | |
| [19:40] <jimisrvrox> you know what im talking about right? | |
| [19:41] <Myrtti> yeah | |
| [19:41] <jimisrvrox> id love to find a linux boot disk just to run off of my a: so I couild format it in ext3 | |
| [19:41] <Myrtti> well how did you try to install ubuntu if not with a installation cd? | |
| [19:41] <jimisrvrox> no I put on the install cd | |
| [19:41] <jimisrvrox> all I was doing was overwriting the PCLinuxOS | |
| [19:42] <jimisrvrox> but when it got to trying to install the base kernel it told me that it couldnt do it because I already had installed it with PCLinuxOX | |
| [19:42] <jimisrvrox> albeit I dont know if PCLinuxOS installed the same kernel or a different one | |
| [19:42] <jimisrvrox> I guess I could try skipping that step and see if it runs smoothly with the PCLinuxOS kernel no? | |
| [19:42] <Myrtti> well now... | |
| [19:43] <Myrtti> erm | |
| [19:43] <Myrtti> you didn't even get to the part about partitioning? | |
| [19:44] <jimisrvrox> no I got past that part | |
| [19:45] <jimisrvrox> I got past partitioning the step after that on the menu is installing the base system | |
| [19:45] <Myrtti> and you didn't empty/reformat your partitions? | |
| [19:45] <jimisrvrox> that might be the problem here | |
| [19:45] <Myrtti> no kidding ;-) | |
| [19:45] <jimisrvrox> ok so how the hell would you do that from the install menu? | |
| [19:46] <jimisrvrox> I guess I could stick my windows boot disk in there and then fdisk from there and delete the partitions? | |
| [19:46] <Myrtti> did you use alternate or desktop installation disk? | |
| [19:46] <jimisrvrox> because the partitioner on the instaler doesnt give you an option to delete the partitions | |
| [19:46] <jimisrvrox> yes | |
| [19:47] <Myrtti> which? | |
| [19:48] <jimisrvrox> 8.04 for the x86 | |
| [19:49] <Myrtti> alternate or desktop? | |
| [19:49] <jimisrvrox> alt | |
| [19:49] <jimisrvrox> I dl'ed the alt because somebody suggested I do that but I coudlnt tell you the diff btwn the desktop and the alt | |
| [19:49] <Myrtti> well, there should come an option to do a manual editing of the partitions and you can delete the old partitions from there | |
| [19:49] <jimisrvrox> which I could probably research that but if yo uhad the answer to that one it woudl be much easier proabbly to understand | |
| [19:50] <Myrtti> the blue ugly one or the pretty mouse clickable funky thing? | |
| [19:50] <jimisrvrox> right but im telling you that when it gives you the option to manually do the partitions fdisk..it doesnt let you do it when i click on it | |
| [19:50] <jimisrvrox> dos style ugly :D | |
| [19:51] <jimisrvrox> yup..tried to click on manually partition it..from the menu and it just takes me right back to the menu | |
| [19:53] <jimisrvrox> ok I got the partitions off | |
| [19:53] <jimisrvrox> so im gonna try to repartition it | |
| [20:01] <jimisrvrox> hey dude.. | |
| [20:01] <jimisrvrox> I deleted the partitions and got the same error | |
| [20:01] <Myrtti> and did you repartition them too? | |
| [20:01] <Myrtti> s/them/the harddrive/ | |
| [20:07] <jimisrvrox> yeah I tried | |
| [20:07] <Myrtti> hum, in that case I'm stumped | |
| [20:10] <jimisrvrox> well I think in this case I might just take out my windows boot disk | |
| [20:18] <truefire> hi, how big is xubuntu when installed on hdd? | |
| [20:19] <truefire> anybody? | |
| [20:19] <truefire> Man, xubuntu is dead. | |
| [20:19] <Myrtti> I wish I had vanilla installation at hand so I could check | |
| [20:19] <Myrtti> unfortunately I've got lots of extra, space taking junk too | |
| [20:19] <truefire> thanks. | |
| [20:20] <truefire> well,guesstimate? | |
| [20:20] <truefire> under 2gigs, right? | |
| [20:20] <truefire> I'm installing vanilla xubuntu (not eee) on my asus eeepc, 4gb | |
| [20:21] <truefire> Ubuntu was too big | |
| [20:21] <truefire> filled it up | |
| [20:21] <truefire> my goal is to make a Xubuntu Netbook Remix of sorts, since UNR is so big. | |
| [20:40] <AlexCONRAD> hi again | |
| [20:41] <AlexCONRAD> I need help for understanding things with kernel again | |
| [20:42] <AlexCONRAD> I'm customizing a CD, but the network driver provided by the distro doesn't fit my network card, its broken. So I compiled the new driver (.ko). But I'd like to put this driver on the CDROM I'm making, so I don't have to go on each PC i'm installing to make the network working. | |
| [20:43] <AlexCONRAD> any hints for doing this ? | |
| [20:44] <AlexCONRAD> I'm no kernel expert and I'm not sure how modules are transfered from the CDROM to the target PC* | |
| [20:53] <jmhealey> hello all | |
| [20:53] * jmhealey has decided xfce is the way to go at home | |
| [20:54] <jmhealey> anyone here? | |
| [20:55] <AlexCONRAD> i am | |
| [20:57] <jmhealey> hey AlexCONRAD | |
| [20:57] <jmhealey> how are yu | |
| [20:57] <jmhealey> how long have you been using xubuntu, or do you? | |
| [20:57] <AlexCONRAD> just a little | |
| [20:57] <AlexCONRAD> i'm a n00b :) | |
| [20:58] <jmhealey> noob to linux too? | |
| [20:58] <AlexCONRAD> comming from the fedora side | |
| [20:58] <jmhealey> gotcha. i used fedora for a bit, and redhat before fedora existed | |
| [20:58] <AlexCONRAD> but I have more of a server experience, rather than a user desktop experience | |
| [20:59] <AlexCONRAD> so have I | |
| [20:59] <jmhealey> i got ya- are you an admin? | |
| [21:01] <AlexCONRAD> not really, more a dev... but being alone knowing linux at my work, it kinds makes me an admin too | |
| [21:01] <AlexCONRAD> but i'm not very experienced | |
| [21:01] <AlexCONRAD> im ok, not hardcore | |
| [21:02] <jmhealey> i got ya. i've got no dev experience, but i was kind of the de facto linux admin at my last job, limited experience though in a server env | |
| [21:03] <AlexCONRAD> ok | |
| [21:03] <AlexCONRAD> I'll probably installing a desktop rich distro like *buntu at home and at work | |
| [21:03] <AlexCONRAD> i'll have more general knowledge of linux | |
| [21:04] <AlexCONRAD> right now i'm playing with xubuntu, but for very specific needs | |
| [21:04] <AlexCONRAD> so still no general knowledge | |
| [21:04] <jmhealey> yes, i run *buntu on 6 machines at home. so i've got some desktop install/config experience, to be sure | |
| [21:06] <AlexCONRAD> i'll be back in a while, diner time :) | |
| [21:06] <jmhealey> see you | |
| [21:16] <jimisrvrox> hey jmhealey are you around? | |
| [21:17] <jmhealey> yep | |
| [21:17] <jmhealey> how are you? | |
| [21:17] <jimisrvrox> not doing so well | |
| [21:18] <jimisrvrox> trying to install xubuntu over PCLinuxOS | |
| [21:18] <jimisrvrox> and its not going to well at all | |
| [21:19] <jmhealey> right over it, on the same partitions? | |
| [21:19] <jimisrvrox> well ive done so much shit like deleting the partitions | |
| [21:19] <jimisrvrox> and repartitioning | |
| [21:19] <jimisrvrox> and then whenever I try to install the system base | |
| [21:19] <jimisrvrox> it tells me that it cant do it | |
| [21:19] <jmhealey> have you got data you need to save? | |
| [21:19] <jimisrvrox> so now I went into resuce mode | |
| [21:19] <jimisrvrox> no | |
| [21:20] <jimisrvrox> this is a screw around computer that I am putting linux on ...ima n00b and officially ex-winblows user | |
| [21:20] <jmhealey> thats cool. most all are ex windblows users, myself included | |
| [21:20] <jmhealey> what version of xubuntu do you ahve on disk? | |
| [21:21] <jimisrvrox> 8.04 x86 alt cd | |
| [21:21] <jimisrvrox> so I went into rescue mode | |
| [21:21] <jimisrvrox> and got a temp root shell | |
| [21:21] <jmhealey> hmm. any particular reason for the alternative cd? | |
| [21:21] <jimisrvrox> heh not really havent a clue as to what im doing | |
| [21:21] <jimisrvrox> somebody suggested to run the alt cd | |
| [21:22] <jimisrvrox> got 196mb of ram and a p3 700 running | |
| [21:22] <jmhealey> ok. i'd recommend that you used the other choice (not the alt) | |
| [21:22] <jimisrvrox> noooo! | |
| [21:22] <jimisrvrox> I dont want to have to go wait for an hour! | |
| [21:22] <jmhealey> lol | |
| [21:22] <jimisrvrox> and then burn another cd to have this one be a coaster | |
| [21:22] <jmhealey> but then you can boot to a desktop and see how she runs on that box | |
| [21:23] <jimisrvrox> well yeah but why do something twice?!? | |
| [21:23] <jmhealey> the other cd image is a 'live' one, you can boot right to a desktop, provided the hdw is supported | |
| [21:23] <jimisrvrox> I dont want to have to wait for an hour to dl the same iso but desktop version | |
| [21:23] <jimisrvrox> yes i know its a live cd | |
| [21:23] <jimisrvrox> but so is this one just tha tits a dos shit gui | |
| [21:23] <jmhealey> ok | |
| [21:24] <jimisrvrox> so what the deal is is that i ran the error checker and the cd passed | |
| [21:24] <jimisrvrox> so I started the install and when it got to installing the base system it told me | |
| [21:24] <jimisrvrox> trying to install xubuntu and am getting an error Warning: Failure trying to run: chroot /target dpkg --force-- depends--install var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-10ubuntu3_i386.deb | |
| [21:26] <jmhealey> i don't know what that means | |
| [21:26] <jimisrvrox> I was thinking as a last resort to get a winblows boot disk and just format the drive and start over | |
| [21:26] <jmhealey> but i have had bad burns of ubuntu CD | |
| [21:26] <jimisrvrox> but formatting the 40gb drive would take forever | |
| [21:26] <jimisrvrox> well like I say the cd passed the error checker | |
| [21:26] <jmhealey> forever- cmon | |
| [21:26] <jimisrvrox> what so you dont think it woudl take that long eh? | |
| [21:27] <jmhealey> i swear i've had CD's that passed the self test, and then hozed out with read errors sometime during install | |
| [21:27] <jimisrvrox> so you think I should just format with windows boot disk and try a clean install? | |
| [21:27] <jmhealey> download system rescue CD and wipe the drive, as well as test it for errors at the same time, thats my advice | |
| [21:27] <jmhealey> you don't need a windblows disk, get away from that LOL | |
| [21:27] <jimisrvrox> im in the system rescue part of the live cd dude | |
| [21:27] <jimisrvrox> at a root shell | |
| [21:28] <jmhealey> i've not been there, will it let you run parted? try that command | |
| [21:28] <jimisrvrox> just type in parted? | |
| [21:28] <jmhealey> parted can blow away partitions and so can fdisk if you've got it | |
| [21:28] <jmhealey> type parted | |
| [21:29] <jimisrvrox> tells me not found | |
| [21:29] <jmhealey> try fdisk then | |
| [21:29] <jimisrvrox> ok fdisk gives me all the partitions | |
| [21:29] <Volkodav_> gparted | |
| [21:29] <jmhealey> yep, gparted is the gui version of parted | |
| [21:30] <jmhealey> jimisrvrox: you can use fdisk to blow away partions and then creat them | |
| [21:30] <jimisrvrox> yes I know | |
| [21:30] <jimisrvrox> I had repartitioned the drives like i dont know how many times using the installer | |
| [21:30] <jimisrvrox> and still had the same error | |
| [21:30] <jmhealey> then i'd definetly try another burned copy of xubuntu | |
| [21:31] <jmhealey> i've had bad burns that checked out OK with the disk integrity checker. don't ask me why | |
| [21:32] <jimisrvrox> im gonna run th installer one more time | |
| [21:32] <Volkodav_> I had similar error and it turned out to be bad sectors on the hard drive | |
| [21:32] <jmhealey> http://www.sysresccd.org <--- download that disk, its the tits | |
| [21:32] <Volkodav_> check your drive first | |
| [21:33] <jmhealey> Volkodav_: good advice, which he can do with sysrecccd | |
| [21:33] <jimisrvrox> ok starting up partitioner | |
| [21:33] <jimisrvrox> and im gonna use the entire disk | |
| [21:34] <Volkodav_> in my situation I could not resize htfs partition and ntfs-resize caught the error | |
| [21:34] <jmhealey> good, cuz that will leave no room for windows : ) | |
| [21:34] <jmhealey> one thing i noticed on Vista machines, is that if the Vista OS was not shut down cleanly, I couldnt do a resize. | |
| [21:35] <jimisrvrox> ok its creating the ext3 fs | |
| [21:35] <Volkodav_> and after I replaced that bad drive ram turned out to be trashed too on the same box | |
| [21:35] <jimisrvrox> installing base system | |
| [21:35] <jimisrvrox> this is where it crashes | |
| [21:35] <Volkodav_> you need to defrag and disk clean up before resize | |
| [21:35] <jmhealey> Volkodav_: that sounds like a bad day | |
| [21:36] <Volkodav_> It was a bad box I dealt with | |
| [21:36] <jmhealey> jimisrvrox: here's the other utility CD i carry everywhere: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ | |
| [21:36] <Volkodav_> that happens every coupla years | |
| [21:36] <jmhealey> i have a copy of each of those everywhere, in the glovebox my car, my truck, and my motorcycle tank bag. | |
| [21:37] <jmhealey> and in my wife's pocketbook. | |
| [21:37] <Volkodav_> forensic disks are always handy | |
| [21:38] <jimisrvrox> and my other issue here is that no matter what I tell imgburn about write speed my dam dvd writer wants to go at 16x | |
| [21:39] <jimisrvrox> unpacking base system @ 47% | |
| [21:39] <jmhealey> nothing like a good unpacking i tell ya... | |
| [21:40] <Volkodav_> jimisrvrox, it may be blank DVD's that will not go lower speed | |
| [21:40] <jimisrvrox> no theyre cdrs | |
| [21:40] <Volkodav_> or cdr's | |
| [21:40] <jimisrvrox> oh ok so I could put a diff brand in and it will work out fine | |
| [21:41] <jimisrvrox> config apt sorces @ 75% | |
| [21:41] <jmhealey> jimisrvrox: every heard of puppy linux? | |
| [21:41] <jimisrvrox> retreving and installing linux-generic 83% | |
| [21:41] <jimisrvrox> yup | |
| [21:41] <Volkodav_> puppy is nice | |
| [21:42] <jmhealey> yeah, it runs really well on older machine, IMX | |
| [21:42] <Volkodav_> they have video detection problems though | |
| [21:42] <jimisrvrox> ok well error erturned while trying to install the kernel into the target system | |
| [21:43] <jmhealey> i was just at a LUG meeting and there was a dude there that was a Puppy Linux freak. he ran it on everything | |
| [21:43] <Volkodav_> at higher res | |
| [21:43] <jimisrvrox> check /var/log/sysing or see virtual console 4 for the details | |
| [21:43] <jmhealey> jimisrvrox: I'm leaning toward Volkodav_'s comment, you got a flaky hard drive | |
| [21:43] <Volkodav_> I have it installed on one of my oldeast lappies | |
| [21:43] <jimisrvrox> ok but why could I install PCLinuxOS have it run fine | |
| [21:43] <jimisrvrox> and the when I tried to install this | |
| [21:43] <jimisrvrox> it wouldnt even install | |
| [21:44] <jmhealey> how long was PCLin on there? | |
| [21:44] <jimisrvrox> like all of a couple of hours | |
| [21:44] <jimisrvrox> because the package manager wouldnt load | |
| [21:44] <jmhealey> hmm. | |
| [21:44] <Volkodav_> checked your ram ? | |
| [21:44] <jimisrvrox> for bad ram? | |
| [21:44] <jimisrvrox> no | |
| [21:44] <Volkodav_> do that | |
| [21:44] <jmhealey> pull it and reseat it, too | |
| [21:45] <jimisrvrox> and the other funny thing about this whole thing is that when i start it up I get primary slave hard disk fail | |
| [21:46] <jimisrvrox> but I was able to run XP and PCLin on it fine | |
| [21:46] <Volkodav_> I had XP running on that bad disk too | |
| [21:46] <Volkodav_> it depends where the bad sectors are | |
| [21:47] <jmhealey> agreed | |
| [21:47] <Volkodav_> If they happen to be at the end of the drive where you try to install - no luck | |
| [21:47] <jimisrvrox> running mem test | |
| [21:48] <jimisrvrox> i take it that that is going to take a while? | |
| [21:48] <jmhealey> jimisrvrox: please tell me you aren't thinking of going back to windows | |
| [21:48] <Volkodav_> Does the box acting up any other way ? noises shutdowns etc? | |
| [21:48] <Volkodav_> How much ram do you have and what CPU? | |
| [21:49] <jimisrvrox> no im not going back to winblows | |
| [21:49] <jimisrvrox> I expected problems with linux | |
| [21:49] <jmhealey> ok ok. just chekcing | |
| [21:49] <jimisrvrox> but I am not giving up on it | |
| [21:49] <jimisrvrox> Im using xp on this machine right now | |
| [21:49] <jimisrvrox> but I dont intend to use it that much once I get a linux distro up | |
| [21:49] <Volkodav_> hardly it has anything to do with linux - seems like hardware issue to me | |
| [21:50] <jimisrvrox> no sounds no nothing | |
| [21:50] <jimisrvrox> p3 700 196mb ram | |
| [21:50] <Volkodav_> will take about 30-40 m in | |
| [21:50] <Volkodav_> to finish mem test | |
| [21:51] <jmhealey> jimisrvrox: ar eyou in the US? | |
| [21:51] <jimisrvrox> yeah | |
| [21:51] <Volkodav_> it sometimes will not stop and will start over - so keep an eye on it | |
| [21:51] <jimisrvrox> well right now pass 17% and test 41% | |
| [21:52] <jmhealey> ok, there is a different iso to burn if you are south of the equator, that's why i asked | |
| [21:52] <jimisrvrox> so im gonna go outside and smoke a cig so i'll brb | |
| [21:52] <jmhealey> ok | |
| [21:52] * Volkodav_ out of smokes | |
| [21:53] <jmhealey> Volkodav_: are you a linux professional? | |
| [21:53] <Volkodav_> been playing with it for a while | |

| [22:09] <jimisrvrox> so I said screw this | |
| [22:10] <jimisrvrox> but ive been around computers now for about 15 yrs..23 and got in when i was 7 and taught myself most of what I know..know how to build a pc and put a network together and a little bit of programming but not enough to be doing anything serious | |
| [22:11] <jmhealey> cool. thats a great start to a good career, for sure | |
| [22:11] <jimisrvrox> but lifes a bitch right now man..I was used to the padres making 70K a year a piece | |
| [22:12] <jimisrvrox> good life man now im makin like 7 an horu just doing data entry shit and the wife is a bus driver she likes it but money is always tight | |
| [22:12] <jimisrvrox> and at my work I dont play around i use all the keyboard shortcuts and shit so I get done with everything in about 1hr 1/2 | |
| [22:13] <jimisrvrox> and screw around the rest of the day..if I had my truck fixed id def be looking for better jobs and luckly i been with this co for about 1 yr and havent gotten a raise bc I was through a temp agency and the position im in is not open for hire so im stuck with the temp until the new budget comes out in july | |
| [22:13] <jimisrvrox> pass 94% | |
| [22:14] <jmhealey> well, it's a start. i'm unemployed, which is worse, trust me | |
| [22:14] <jimisrvrox> been there myself | |
| [22:15] <jimisrvrox> heh my mom is an accoutant and I told her I didnt need a job that I could make it on my own in real estate I got caught up in the rich dad books | |
| [22:15] <jimisrvrox> and started telling her that I didnt want to get a job because then id be making money for somebody else instead of myself | |
| [22:17] <jmhealey> how'd that work out? | |
| [22:18] <jimisrvrox> never did | |
| [22:18] <jimisrvrox> I had a guy that I worked with that did real estate on the side and I asked him to show me the ropes and he flaked out on me | |
| [22:18] <jmhealey> bazdid | |
| [22:19] <jimisrvrox> yup | |
| [22:19] <jimisrvrox> but hey people are like that tho | |
| [22:20] <jimisrvrox> wished I knew how to use linkedin effectively because then I figure I could get a decent job out here somehow | |
| [22:20] <jimisrvrox> but the only problem is I dont really know anybody around here who uses linkedin | |
| [22:21] <jmhealey> what part of NM are you in? | |
| [22:22] <jimisrvrox> albuquerque | |
| [22:22] <jmhealey> never been there | |
| [22:31] <jmhealey> hows the mem check going? | |
| [22:33] <jimisrvrox> I thought it was going to be done but I guess its checking a 2nd sector of mem | |
| [22:33] <jimisrvrox> right now at 69% | |
| [22:33] <jmhealey> hey did you know a guy named daryll in lewisville, had a yellow cbr600rr | |
| [22:34] <jimisrvrox> no I knew a daryll that had a 60's mustang | |
| [22:34] <jmhealey> your age? | |
| [22:34] <jimisrvrox> 23 | |
| [22:35] <jmhealey> was he your age? | |
| [22:35] <jimisrvrox> oh yeah | |
| [22:35] <jmhealey> i think that him, the mustang was his 'rents if i'm not mistaken | |
| [22:36] <jmhealey> but i think he's aabout 2 years older than ye | |
| [22:37] <jimisrvrox> no this guy's mustag was his | |
| [22:37] <jimisrvrox> he had his own pad | |
| [22:41] <jmhealey> ok. guess that's not him | |
| [22:41] <jmhealey> this guy was a fanatical soccer player | |
| [22:42] <jimisrvrox> nope | |
| [22:43] <jimisrvrox> fuck man what the hell man | |
| [22:43] <jimisrvrox> this shit has started all over again! | |
| [22:43] <jimisrvrox> under pass it says 2 | |
| [22:46] <jmhealey> yeah, sometime memtest takes a few weeks, but it's worth it | |
| [22:48] <jimisrvrox> weeks?!? | |
| [22:49] <jimisrvrox> hell I thought it would take an hour at most | |
| [22:49] <jmhealey> oh | |
| [22:49] <jmhealey> i had one that ran for 23 days | |
| [22:49] <jimisrvrox> well hell man its not like i have 1gb of ram | |
| [22:49] <jimisrvrox> I only have 196mb | |
| [22:50] <jmhealey> i used to watch it every night while i drank beer. | |
| [22:51] <jimisrvrox> how many passes does it have to do before its done? | |
| [22:54] <jmhealey> 255 i think, not sure | |
| [22:54] <jmhealey> how many so far? | |
| [22:54] <jimisrvrox> oh god | |

| [22:55] <jmhealey> hows that going, any errors so far? | |
| [22:56] <jimisrvrox> nope | |
| [22:56] <jmhealey> are you downloading ultimate boot cd, cuz that has all the major manufacturer's drive checking utilities on it | |
| [22:56] <jmhealey> it kicks ass | |
| [22:57] <jimisrvrox> no I guess I should | |
| [22:57] <jmhealey> you could run it on the drive. btw, how big is the drive and what type/brand is it? | |
| [22:58] <jimisrvrox> 40gb seagate drink | |
| [22:58] <jimisrvrox> drive* | |
| [22:59] <jmhealey> drink. freudian slip? | |
| [22:59] <jmhealey> the ulttimate boot cd has the seagate utility | |
| [22:59] <jmhealey> you can check it thoroughly with that | |
| [23:01] <jimisrvrox> man I dont wanna sit around and wait for the memtest shit | |
| [23:01] <jimisrvrox> I thought it was gonna be quick | |
| [23:01] <Volkodav_> 3-4 should be OK - I do it normally overnight and it runs about 20 | |
| [23:02] <Volkodav_> 3 passes should do for starters | |
| [23:02] <jimisrvrox> well its at 70% going on 3 | |
| [23:02] <jimisrvrox> I guess it tests every little chemical molecule of your memory eh? heh | |
| [23:02] <Volkodav_> well then let it finish at least one | |
| [23:03] <jimisrvrox> download UB CD | |
| [23:03] <Volkodav_> some times the first pass doesn't catch an error, but subsequent passes will. | |
| [23:03] <jmhealey> yep. if you start to smell it, shut it off. it melted one ram chip on me once | |
| [23:03] <Volkodav_> lolz | |
| [23:03] <jimisrvrox> heh | |
| [23:04] <jimisrvrox> well im gonan go smoke whlie it finishes to 3 and then im gonna stop it and do what idk | |
| [23:04] <jimisrvrox> maybe get that damn boot cd going | |
| [23:05] <Volkodav_> http://shsc.info/Memtest86 | |

| [23:15] <kiosk> Trying to view the Kmart flyer right now (flash) | |
| [23:15] <kiosk> but i can't listen to my VOIP voicemail or anything at the moment | |
| [23:15] <jmhealey> how did you install flashplayer-nonfree? | |
| [23:15] <kiosk> sudo apt-get install flash . . . | |
| [23:16] <jmhealey> ok, i had probs when installing flash from within firerox | |
| [23:16] <kiosk> you can do that? | |
| [23:16] <jmhealey> yeah, in FF3 | |
| [23:16] <jmhealey> methinks | |
| [23:17] <jmhealey> have you been to medibuntu.org? | |
| [23:17] <kiosk> no didn't know about it | |
| [23:17] <kiosk> I think I have FF2.0.0.14 only | |
| [23:18] <kiosk> I only have a 300 Mhz is FF3 gonna be slow? | |
| [23:18] <kiosk> 128 MB too | |
| [23:19] <jmhealey> maybe thats why flash is croaking, not enough ram | |
| [23:19] <jmhealey> do other sites work? | |
| [23:19] <kiosk> no it worked before | |
| [23:19] <jmhealey> oh. | |
| [23:19] <kiosk> it stopped working just a few days ago | |
| [23:19] <jmhealey> ah. | |

| [23:20] <jmhealey> try the medibuntu repositories | |
