Comments:
<0> you know whats kinda neat
<1> twidget: HP has released their printer/scanner stuff, so yeah. it should work.
<0> Dosbox runs faster on linux then windows
<0> which is ironix
<2> wizzlefish: you can configure what the lid button does
<0> ironic
<3> My idea is control different program by multi mouse cursor.
<0> i get no lag or problems at all in dosbox in ubuntu
<0> in windows its slow
<4> himsky1, go for it, linux is often a scratch your own itch proposal
<5> wizzlefish: then you want the acpi script to invoke xlockmore or some such; you will probably have to a) use sudo to have it run as your user, and b) set the DISPLAY variable
<6> im sure DBO pls check this: http://pastebin.com/714858
<7> !compile
<8> A nice howto about compiling software from source code can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (but remember to search !apt first, after adding all the !repos)
<7> kewl! it works
<4> alekz, try changing his p***word to something simple and try again
<7> !fstab
<8> the /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions but can be easily configured automatically with the diskmounter file found here http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter See <partitions>.
<9> arg...won't let me open it
<7> !fstab metatag
<8> I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, metatag
<4> !msg the bot
<10> Is there any good image mounters in Linux'?
<8> Please message the bot (me) in private, more info about the bot: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
<11> !utc
<8> zcat[1]: Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<10> ISO mounters that is
<2> valehru: mount
<5> heh
<12> !mountiso
<8> To mount an ISO image file, you can use "sudo mount -o loop <image-file> <mount-point>" from a shell (for example, "sudo mount -o loop Ubuntu.iso /mnt/loop", if /mnt/loop exists)
<13> Flannel, sorry, busy in another channel. Thanks
<10> ahh cool
<10> thx
<4> valehru, there was a guy in #ubuntu-offtopic that made a nice GUI frontend using python, I believe he calls it isomount. Its really quite fantastic
<10> really
<9> amphi - I don't know how to change it: in gedit or in terminal?
<10> cool
<3> I hope to build a team to do this RealMultiCursor GNU project, anyone join?
<7> ok bye all
<9> I don't know what to change or how to change it
<6> DBO, ximp is now in, but is not loging to his ~ =/
<4> alekz, so he can see the entire directory tree?
<6> DBO, yes
<4> alekz, check in /etc/p***wd and make sure his home directory is /home/ximp
<5> wizzlefish: the editor of your choice - you'll need magic root powers to edit a file under /etc/acpi - but perhaps gnome has an 'easier' way?
<6> let me check dbernar1
<6> let me check dbo
<6> sorry again
<6> DBO, is asigned as /home2/xompi and yes /etc/p***wd shows that
<3> I hope to build a team to do this RealMultiCursor GNU project, anyone join?
<4> alekz, does that directory exist?
<6> yes dbo
<4> alekz, well color me confused...
<4> alekz, does he have write access to anything?
<6> dbo im confused too :S
<14> Hello, I try to figure out either to keep my amd64 bit install or reinstall with the 32 bit version. I will mostly use it as a desktop and maybe set up a webserver etc.
<9> that's exactly what's wrong...I shut the screen, and the monitor goes off like it is supposed to, but then when I open the lid, the monitor doesn't come back on - what's wrong?
<9> (and it forces me to shut down)
<14> Have problems with sound and complains of lacking w32 codecs etc ...
<5> wizzlefish: ah... try standby instead of mem, perhaps
<9> how? where?, amphi?
<5> wizzlefish: acpi can be a PITA
<9> I don't know what that is
<6> no DBO he hasnt write access
<4> alekz, well I wouldnt really worry about it... but odd
<5> wizzlefish: I ***ume there's a script under /etc/acpi - I find the sysfs interface is simple to use
<3> not one intersting this RealMultiCursor GNU project, anyone join?
<5> wizzlefish: a pain in the donkey
<6> DBO, let me remove the user and add it again u think that could help ?
<4> couldnt hurt
<6> a second
<9> how do I get to the sysfs interface?
<15> I have 17 machines with wartywarthog. Can I upgrade them directly to BreezyBadger?
<5> wizzlefish: cat /sys/power/state
<1> MM2: no. you have to go through hoary.
<5> wizzlefish: you could paste the output in here
<9> what's the output, and where do I find it, amphi? I'm sort of new to Linux, as you can tell...
<5> wizzlefish: open a term, and do 'cat /sys/power/state'
<9> it just says "standby mem disk"
<5> wizzlefish: is there no gnome configurator for this, that you might find easier?
<9> amphi - not that I can find, and right now I'm in Fluxbox...
<2> wizzlefish: there will be in dappe
<5> wizzlefish: you can do it manually; like I said before, 'echo standby | sudo tee /sys/power/state' should put it in standby mode (light sleep)
<9> ok, I'll try that...
<15> what was that one liner to replace warty with hoary in sources.list?
<5> wizzlefish: doing the same, but with 'mem' instead of 'standby' should put it in a heavier sleep; one of these two, at least, may not work
<6> dbo can u check something logining into my ftp server ?
<14> Hi, anyone with some good advice about amd64 bit istall vs 32bit install ?
<5> wizzlefish: once you know which one behaves, you can make sure the script under /etc/acpi that is invoked when you close the lid is using that
<4> alekz, once more with clarity
<5> wizzlefish: or not have the script do anything, ignore the lid event
<6> DBO, can u login into my ftp server as xompi and see what's happening? i just dont get it
<9> so closing the lid does nothing?...that would probably work...
<4> alekz, sure, pm the username, p***word, and IP
<5> wizzlefish: depends what you want it to do; I used to have mine hibernate on lid close
<4> mmmm laaaag...
<9> ok, I just want xscreensaver to run, how would I modify lid.sh?
<9> (amphi)
<4> alekz, its working perfectly, hes locked into his home directory (it looks like)
<6> nice DBO so he cant surf on entire system right ?
<4> alekz, there, I just uploaded a file to his home directory that sings 99 bottles of beer on the wall to you using festival (great for annoying people)
<4> but I cant go anywhere but his home directory
<5> wizzlefish: dunno offhand - 'DISPLAY=:0 xscreensaver-command -lock' or summat, perhaps; I have no idea whether that'll work, I've never tried to run an X prog from an acpi script ;)
<9> how would I make it do nothing?
<16> hey and good morning, is there channel dedicated to dapper development, questions regarding installation ?
<9> just comment out the entire acpi script?
<5> ztonzy: #ubuntu+1
<2> !dapper
<8> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support :)
<4> alekz, there reason his working directory shows as / is because we chrooted (change root) him into his home directory
<16> amphi, ah, thanks
<6> :o i see DBO
<5> wizzlefish: I don't know what's in it
<6> DBO, lot of thanks you rocks =D
<5> wizzlefish: you could pastebin it
<4> alekz, you are secure, he has ftp access =) good luck
<4> alekz, change that p***word
<6> DBO, one more think can i ask u ?
<6> i'll do dbo
<4> sure
<6> =)
<6> how can i asing a limited quote ?
<9> amphi
<4> alekz, you want to set a disk quota you mean, so they cant exceed a certain limit?
<6> DBO, t's right
<5> wizzlefish: hang on
<4> alekz, thats a bit more invasive, but you can get started by looking here http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/admin-primer/s1-storage-quotas.html (I recognize thats for redhat, but it has the same basic info)
<5> wizzlefish: I am experimenting ;)
<6> i'll check it DBO lot of thanks =)
<17> hey can anyone help me set up alsa to record with my microphone?
<18> Hey. I'm using Kubuntu, and I'm just wondering, is there any way I can switch Ctrl and Caps-Lock in KDE without making a .xmodmap file?
<9> http://pastebin.com/714869 <--there's my lid.sh file, amphi
<19> amphi: wow, i'm really screwed up now ... lol
<20> is there a defragmentation tool for ext3 filesystems? does ext3 need such a tool?
<21> there might be, and not really
<11> mlalkaka: yes, no..
<22> !defragmentation
<8> I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, monsterb
<22> !defrag
<8> My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, monsterb
<20> what if you want to resize an ext3 partition? wouldn't you need to defrag it first?
<5> wizzlefish: there are problems calling an X prog from an acpi script
<9> amphi - so what should I do? Could I make the script not execute anything?
<5> wizzlefish: that almost does what you want, looks like
<9> amphi: how would I do that?
<23> i cannot figure this out for the life of me.
<9> amphi: just remove 'xscreensaver-command -deactivate'?
<9> and leave empty quotes?
