<1> Is there a way to keep an application running after that the terminal from which it was launched have been closed?
<0> oops, bouncy ball hit the keyboard :)
<2> Samus_Aran: tbh, I tend to know exactly where most things are (my /home is pretty tidy), and things like dpkg -L and grepping logs is more-or-less all else I'd need
<3> i already did grub-install, dpkg-reconfigured all linux-image-... packages
<4> rikai: prefernce? no, im trying to track down the introduction of the prism54_softmac in the ubuntu kernel
<5> woah ... in FC there is a command "service" that I can use as so to restart a service: service <servicename> restart; ... is there an ubuntu equivalent?
<6> mantono: launch it from a launcher instead of term
<7> apokryphos: my files are extremely organised as well ... usually the ones I forget are the ones that haven't been sorted yet, which generally happens the most when the hard drives are full already, heh
<2> Samus_Aran: yes, realtime updatedb would open up a hu-uge amount of capabilities; it has the potential to revolutionise the standard of the filesystem. Some are all too eager to do with the directory hierarchy :)
<8> steev: sorry, wrong person. :)
<0> CrippsFX: /etc/init.d/servicename stop/start/restart
<5> jak thanks.
<1> gnomefreak: okey, thanks
<9> jak - looks like ntp.conf is missing - yes? same for you. is this a bug?



<10> mantono: nohup
<3> isn't there a list of packages i could reinstall using a default configuration? i have the most standard setup with all in /dev/hda1
<11> Umm guys
<12> olaaa
<11> anyone help!!!!!!!
<2> Samus_Aran: *all too eager to do away with
<13> hey everyone
<7> apokryphos: I have changed around my hard drive structures now to allow better sorting. I have my hard drives under /mnt/A160 B300 C300 etc. meaning the first hard drive is 160GB, the second is 300GB, etc. then I symlink them to my home dir
<14> !anyone
<15> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? </hint>
<12> wat your name
<16> SAM_theman, whats up?
<11> my hp 3653 isn't working
<17> err whys this happenign to me? Executing 'builtin_dd if=/media/downloads/complete/Eight_Below_(2006)_(NTSC)/rep-eightbelow.iso of=/dev/hdc obs=32k seek=0'
<17> umount: /media/dvdrecorder is not in the fstab (and you are not root)
<17> :-( /dev/hdc: unable to proceed with recording: unable to unmount
<13> just an odd question ... it would appear (to me) that X is not using any hardware acceleration ...
<9> for the record, hola is spelled 'hola' not ola or olaaa
<13> how can i double check if it is or not?
<18> ok i'm having a problem that as far as i can tell is related to openssl ... trying to use muttng w/ libesmtp to talk to a smtp server over tls (same problem for ssl) the problem seems to come when it tries to create the session and openssl says it can't find the ssl3-md5 digest...anyone have an idea of a way to fix the openssl package to include this digest?
<2> Samus_Aran: yeah, same here. Though I'm essentially going to try to keep as few partitions as possible in the future; always seem to have wasted space lying around with many partitions.
<5> SAM_theman, that's an Ipaq?
<8> CrippsFX: be sure to prefix that with sudo. ;)
<11> No not the PDA my printer
<7> apokryphos: I am one of the first who will dump directory based filesystems. I hate them. I have hundreds of thousands of files spanning tens of thousands of directories ... and I constantly, CONSTANTLY need files and directories to be in 2 to 10 different locations, where they are relevant
<5> rikai, why bother? su - ... ;)
<16> SAM_theman, quickest means to an end. sudo apt-get install hp*
<11> i have the 3650 Ipaq
<19> Ok, see, 1.0.4 was released the other day. I'm using 1.5.3 on Dapper. I want to update to the latest version, but the FF auto-updater is gray'ed out on the Help menu. Any ideas?
<5> SAM_theman, willing to sell?
<2> Samus_Aran: I have a few distributions set up which take necessary partitions, but one /home dir and symlinks for config files makes the transition between each one.... smooth 8)
<5> ;)
<11> lol
<11> its old i got the new on
<0> juantao: is not there. but do needit?
<11> *one
<5> SAM_theman, I wish I could help, but I use a canon printer.
<7> apokryphos: e.g. a PNG image used in a PHP web site should be in "images", "php", "web server", "company name" and a few other folders
<8> CrippsFX: because sudo is the default, and whats reccomended...? ;)
<0> *do i need it?
<16> i've got a powerbook for sell, while we are talking about it
<2> yeah
<11> The Hp Ipaq 5550
<9> jak, well can't seem to set the clock
<3> CrippsFX: any idea?
<16> sale*
<5> SAM_theman, wait. you have an IPaq 3650, that's old, *and* a new one ?
<2> Samus_Aran: which explains people's fascination with tags ;-)
<14> josh_buddy> more than likely it's not accelerated by default. You'd need to install the drivers depending on your video card.
<11> yup
<5> pladijs, you still haven't told me what your boot error is.
<20> Hello all!
<21> ok ... I made the changes ... how do I get this laptop to reboot ... or pick up where it left off with the install?
<2> Samus_Aran: I use digiKam for the gazillion images I have. It's pretty good.
<5> SAM_theman, interested in selling the old one?
<22> SAM_theman have you tried this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HpPrinterInstallationAndMaintenanceDapper
<7> apokryphos: perhaps you would be interested to hear the $HOME system I have used the past few years -- it is so much cleaner that I could never, ever go back to regular /home/foo
<11> my dad gave me his new one and i gave him my old one he loves it



<11> So u screwed :p
<3> CrippsFX: some lines above your question. hard for me to copy paste as i'm in a terminal, sorry
<0> juantao: run sudo time-admin and click synchronise time
<17> arrghh why cant i burn
<23> how to you install themes???
<24> what would be the best way of setting up a cron job to backup a directory recursively?
<5> SAM_theman, ahh. damn. I've been looking for a 3600 series IPaq to put *nix on :P
<2> Samus_Aran: what do you mean?
<20> I am not sure if i am in the right place to be asking for my particular issue, but i was hoping someone could help me out.
<11> but dude don't get the Ipaq
<23> I want some really kick*** themes
<22> !tell mpeters about themes
<11> Get a Palm os my mom and sis got one
<11> the whole gfamily has a PDA
<25> if you're looking for a pda to use AS a pda, putting linux on an old ipaq is no option.
<8> ubuntu_: sudo reboot
<21> rikai: thanks
<25> I've done it many times over, and it's never as good as either PPC or PalmOS
<5> SAM_theman, I'm currently on a Palm Vx, but it's a loaner from work.
<8> ubuntu_: or
<17> umount: /media/dvdrecorder is not in the fstab (and you are not root)
<17> :-( /dev/hdc: unable to proceed with recording: unable to unmount
<3> it's the minix module which fails to load and the root device which is not found. 'unable to mount /dev/hda1 on /root: no such device"
<11> O thats old
<5> D-side, I want it to use for FUN!!!
<21> rikai: will it same my changes or just start over?
<7> apokryphos: what I use is in the form of "/home/<user>/<settings>" where user is the username and settings is whatever they want to call their config directory. the config directory is their actual ~ dir, but when you log into bash, it starts you at /home/<user>, which is where all the users files reside
<8> ubuntu_: if you just want to try starting the gui sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
<17> I am root, why can't i burn, i've just burnt one DVD? but it wont let me now?
<7> apokryphos: so in ~ is only the dotfiles and other such config files
<5> SAM_theman, sure is. Still plays tetris though!
<8> ubuntu_: followed by /etc/init.d/gdm start
<5> SAM_theman, ... and lemmings.
<11> HEHEH
<7> apokryphos: /home/<user>/{documents,pictures,movies,whatever}
<11> yo go to yahoo and they have a **** load of stuff for PDA
<11> Everything to games and wallpapers and themes
<21> rikai: ok thanks
<20> I am using a ubuntu 6.06. I did a server install and ma using fluxbox as my window manager. I am using rox-filer as my file manager and for desktop icons. i adder the line "rox-filer -p=PIN &" to my startup file, but i only get desktop icons on one of my workspaces, the other three are blank. What am i doing wrong?
<7> apokryphos: that way every file auto-created by an app is separate from the neat and tidy files created by the user
<26> is gFTP better than filezilla?
<5> SAM_theman, yeah, but most of it is probably for <=PalmOS 4.1
<11> how on i setting my printer
<11> *hold on
<0> how do i get 3d working with xinerama, or do i have to switch off xinerama everytime i want to use a opengl app?
<7> apokryphos: I got tired of having hundreds of files show up when I did a dir listing in ~, heh. was a big mess
<27> any1 can help, got a ident problem. under xp i choosed port 114 @ aplications and configured my longshine router 2 forward port 113->114....worked
<27> but under ubuntu.....i dont get it
<27> :/
<11> yo look here http://pastebin.com/762991
<7> apokryphos: I currently have 358 files in ~, all created by apps. my 24 personal directories are in ~/..
<11> this is for the dude who sent me the hp help thing
<21> rikai: when do the starting part, it says: Failed
<2> Samus_Aran: ahh, yes indeed. Could be handy 8)
<8> ubuntu_: meaning your changes didn't fix the problem. :/
<5> GAH!
<22> SAM_theman how is the printer attached to the computer?
<11> usb
<11> Brand new baby
<28> !vnc
<20> Can anyone help me? -- I am using a ubuntu 6.06. I did a server install and ma using fluxbox as my window manager. I am using rox-filer as my file manager and for desktop icons. i adder the line "rox-filer -p=PIN &" to my startup file, but i only get desktop icons on one of my workspaces, the other three are blank. What am i doing wrong?--
<15> somebody said vnc was http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-36715.html, or http://www.tightvnc.com/docs.html, or see 'x11vnc' (VNC server which uses your current X11 session)
<7> apokryphos: you should give it a try some time if you're a neat-freak like myself
<2> Samus_Aran: here though things very very rarely go into plain /home/user, I tend to put them straight into the respective folder (kget helps here, since I've got it set-up to automatically detect some extensions, i.e. avi, png, jpg, nzb, etc)
<22> SAM_theman unplug it and plug it back in, then run 'dmesg' and see if says anything about the printer
<21> rikai: you know ... Brezzy went on here just fine ... what's up with this?
<29> R THER EDGY REPOS
<29> (h)
<29> :-)
<22> leks no
<2> Samus_Aran: probably once a month I'll look in my actual /home/user and just delete practically every file
<14> btw, i gotta hand it to you guys. I do technical support on the phone, but you guys do it for linux... and in IRC. It takes some skillz. ;)
<11> o ok
