<0> hello, does anyone have an idea for what might cause my mouse cursor to suddenly disappear ? i'm running SuSE 10.0, with KDE, and the cursor comes back when i use ctrl-alt-backspace to exit KDE. i've run rkhunter and it comes up clean. i did have the machine slightly overclocked but it's been running fine for 2 weeks, and the only problem is the mouse cursor, i could still give commands through the keyboard...
<1> lol
<2> mailsman20 , get lost.
<3> mailsman20, what?
<4> Gnome is so much more nicer looking than MS Windows

<4> I have'nt tried the other X windows like KDE yet
<2> kirt : I think my windowmaker looking the best :)

<4> c_wolf, got a screenshot ?
<2> Jeez, bronaugh , that looks like an emacs/fvwm hybrid :)
<2> Lemme see kirt , maybe Fiona knows..
<2> !windowmaker
<6> well, windowmaker is the BRAZILIAN window manager, flexible and highly configurable. Developed by Alfredo K. Kojima <kojima@conectiva.com.br>.
<2> Not really...
<5> c_wolf: yeah, it owns :)
<5> it's actually usable... unlike many wms
<2> Define 'usable' ...
<5> usable as in it doesn't get in my way or waste my time.
<5> except when I am way overtired like I was last night.
<2> Sorry kirt , the official site seems to be down, maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windowmaker .
<2> Well, bronaugh , then wmaker is usable for me too *g* .
<7> hello bronaugh, othels.
<2> Hey Viking667.
<5> yo Viking667
<5> c_wolf: I just don't use the mouse much. I'm trying to learn how to do pretty much everything without any mouse usag.
<7> others, rather. I can't seem to type quite the same with a sore finger. I dis***embled a fan, and it bit me.
<5> usage.
<2> bronaugh , yeah, thats why i use the console mostly on wmaker :)
<5> maybe you should consider ratpoison, wmii, or ion then.
<5> ratpoison's definitely the most wacky/bigoted/wierd of the bunch.
<2> Well, i am not a big emacs friend, so i fear i wont be a good friend with ratpoison ...
<7> I couldn't get my head around ratpoison. I could never remember how the hell to bring up the menu.
<5> C-t ?
<7> See?
<7> I couldn't remember that.
<2> Hehe!
<5> ? for help
<5> C-t is prefix key.
<5> nothing too fancy on that one.
<7> mmmmm.
<2> What are you actualy using , Viking667 ?
<7> E
<7> combined with gnome
<5> wmii's quite a bit more friendly.
<2> What is E ?!
<5> Enlightenment.
<5> or Ecstacy. but that's not a WM.
<3> =mc^2 ?
<7> Enlightenment, though I haven't got E17 yet, though I want to.
<2> Ah, that one... if i remember right... i found it too expensive in terms of ressources.
<7> Why do you think I've given up on kde?
<7> tell ya what, on Mandriva, my system runs slower than a run-over dog.
<2> Why do you think i set my use-flags to -kde ? :D
<7> mmmmm. I don't really have the resources to compile everything... and given the CPU overheats I'd rather not melt it.
<2> Ach, the CPU is happy when it gets some emerge jobs to do :)
<7> not for me.
<2> Why not ? Do you run SETI ? :)
<7> I have a K6-II@533 MHZ, with not a proper heatsink.
<2> That hurts then...
<2> What happened with it ?
<7> The motherboard arrived here originally with no heatsink.
<2> Damn.... how`s that possible ? Asus ?
<7> Naah. Was a freebie. Came in a pretty pink coloured case that had been someone's throw-away. The guy rang me and said "I've got an old computer bit here, do you want it?" I thought he meant an XT that had been used as a cash register or something.
<7> At the time I got it, I was using a SiS mobo with a Cyrix MII-300 on it, and 64MB of 72-pin memory.
<7> So as you can imagine, I had to find some 168-pin memory
<7> ... oh, and a heatsink.
<7> I had to toss the case, as it had no PSU nor sides.
<4> The host OS I am using is a fast 3 ghz win2k machine with 2 GB of RAM, so when I use ubuntu as a guest VM, I can pretty much adjust as much CPU/RAM I want to devote for linux
<2> Now i see Viking667 ....
<7> And I've had that K6-II for ... ooo.... three years now? /me guesses
<4> right now, I devoted 256 MB to Ubuntu and its running like speed lightning
<8> the k6-2 is very nice
<8> i have 3 of them here.
<2> Ok, in this case i must be honest and say, gentoo plays on a p4 :)
<2> And i`m bored when it wants to emerge X again...
<8> now that reminds me, one of the k6-2 boxes started acting really wierd few days ago. it hangs at boot :/
<7> oh. Not good. Reseat anything pluggable, try again.
<8> Viking667: tried that. no go.. the ram is alright (even tested it on the other box)
<7> mrmmm.
<8> i wonder if the mobo broke :/
<7> I have a mobo here that's decided to up chips and die on me... even though the memory's fine, the CPU's fine, and the discs are fine.
<8> that means losing a box. since there are no mobos for it around here anymore..
<8> Viking667: i havn't had time to check it. I have a test tomorrow, so maybe i'll have time after i'm done with the test.
<8> I was going to setup the box as a server. too bad things don't go as you plan :/
<8> it's really weird. after everything failed, I tried running winxp installation CD on it. it worked until the middle of the installation process.
<9> any aptitude buffs in the house? I can't figure out why it thinks I want it to get rid of gnucash... >:|
<7> what does gnucash depend upon?
<9> lots of stuff I'm sure
<9> it says that its unused, and should be removed
<7> unused? like crap
<7> are you using it?
<9> occasionally
<9> once a month really

<10> 'lo Viking
<7> hello longword
<11> hiya longword
<9> apt is confusing me
<5> SpamapS: how's that?
<9> I just did a dist-upgrade in sarge.. after about 8 months without one.. :-P
<12> eh up long
<9> it wants to get rid of all kinds of stuff
<12> finally working in this data centre
<9> gnucash.. xfce4-themes... very weird
<12> great fun, learning about clustering and nagios
<5> SpamapS: lol
<5> yeah... I recently upgraded parents' box.
<5> just keep track of the packages it wants to remove, and try and reinstall them alter.
<5> later.
<5> probably easiest and cleanest.
<9> ugh it wants to remove gnome-terminal! :-|
<5> lol
<13> hi
<5> hmm, what do I do in situations like that...
<13> anyone for help me :)
<5> just apt-get install gnome-terminal.
<5> see what happens.
<5> it'll fetch it from new archive, and maybe it'll help you figure out what's up/
<9> its running the latest version
<9> it wants to remove capplets too
<5> did you upgrade those 2 already?
<13> i find a scipt tcsh for change a file in 8.3 caracteres
<13> exemple = edrfderf.exe
<13> if other lage cut
<13> large
<13> anyone help me ?
<5> eh?
<12> i need some recommendations for a distro to run nagios
<13> i find script for cut the name of file in 8.entension
<12> i've got this server that is refusing to take and rh variant
<12> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?threadid=300447
<12> and =any
<12> apparently my coworker tried ubuntu server and that failed too at some hotswap detection stage
<12> i was wondering whether i could use a live cd and start an install like that
<5> TiTuS: look into the "cut" program.
<13> where is a cut progrm ?
<13> please
<5> installed already. on your system.
<10> Right. Today's the day I learn about ssh-agent
<10> Who wants to volunteer to learn me? :)
<11> that must be the secret enrypted government dude...
<10> It looks simple enough
<10> Just a matter of figuring out how best to make use of it - common practice as it were
<11> well its an X thing so doubt i would use it
