<mneptok> Burgundavia: ping

<Burgundavia> mneptok: pong

<mneptok> Burgundavia: now that -ca is an official LoCo i assume that you plan to move the site hosting to the Canonical DC?

<Burgundavia> yes it is

<Burgundavia> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+ticket/3297

<Burgundavia> mneptok, Madpilot: ^

<Madpilot> Burgundavia, good to know

<Madpilot> I assume we can set it up so we both still have access to the site?

<mneptok> Burgundavia: cool. so you don't need any hosting from me. :)

<Burgundavia> nope

<Burgundavia> yes

* mneptok <3s diminished reponsibility

*** tonyy is now known as tonyyarusso

<Burgundavia> ok, mail sent

<lophyte> hey Burgundavia

<Burgundavia> hey lophyte

<lophyte> how's it going?

<Burgundavia> good, although I didn't think about Ubuntu all weekend

<tonyyarusso> Burgundavia: Installed desktop-effects to see if my card's worth a dime. How's it work?

<lophyte> hehe

<tonyyarusso> (other than badly)

<Burgundavia> compiz isn't bad

<Burgundavia> need to try the new version

<lophyte> too bad it won't run on here

<lophyte> ever heard of Skeletonz?

<tonyyarusso> Burgundavia: What's something simple I can do to test? I don't even see any difference at all yet - do I need to run something?

<Burgundavia> you need to turn it on

<Burgundavia> did you?

<Burgundavia> then you need to screw with gconf keys

<Burgundavia> as the default compiz config is basically a clone of metacity

<tonyyarusso> Ah, found it.

<tonyyarusso> "Desktop effects could not be enabled"

<tonyyarusso> damn

<Burgundavia> what is your card?

<tonyyarusso> ATI Radeon Mobility M/X300

<Burgundavia> hmm

<Burgundavia> I think the radeon/r300 driver shoudl work for that

<tonyyarusso> That's what I've heard, but what package provides that driver?

<tonyyarusso> I couldn't find it in Feisty :S

<Burgundavia> -driver-radeon

<Burgundavia> I think

<tonyyarusso> !info xserver-xorg-driver-radeon

<ubotu> Package xserver-xorg-driver-radeon does not exist in any distro I know

<tonyyarusso> other guesses?

<lophyte> apt-cache search radeon?

<lophyte> :P

<tonyyarusso> Hey, wait a sec.

<tonyyarusso> I think it's built into the kernel.

<tonyyarusso> 'locate' turned up a bunch of linux kernel headers

<lophyte> perhaps I should head back to bed

<Burgundavia> score

<Burgundavia> openoffice has been split up

<Burgundavia> that means I can remove bits of it

<lophyte> nice

<Burgundavia> seems have to have happened with 2.1

<tonyy> Take two.

*** tonyy is now known as tonyyarusso

<tonyyarusso> Still getting an error.

<tonyyarusso> with radeon

<tonyyarusso> But, switching to radeon was kind of weird...

<lophyte> you know...

<Burgundavia> http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeon

<lophyte> I'd really like to design an Ubuntu/Kubunntu theme for Nokia mobile phones

<lophyte> I think that'd be neat

<tonyyarusso> wtf....Inkscape just reopened, with a file I was editing two day ago.

<tonyyarusso> Burgundavia: What am I looking for on this page, if anything in particular?

<Burgundavia> nothing much, just thought I would giv eyou the link

<tonyyarusso> hmm

<tonyyarusso> I wish I got more output than "failed"

<Burgundavia> Madpilot: still up?

<Madpilot> Burgundavia, ya

<tonyyarusso> booo

<tonyyarusso> this isn't going well at all

<tonyyarusso> what...the....

<tonyyarusso> I don't think I'll be going near compiz again for a long time

<mneptok> tonyyarusso++

<tonyyarusso> up until tonight I had an uptime of 7 days, on a laptop, _without_ using suspend.

<tonyyarusso> I just rebooted half a dozen times in the last half hour.

<mneptok> but hey! those wobbly windows are *so* worth it!

<tonyyarusso> If I ever saw wobbly windows, it might have been.

<tonyyarusso> As it is, I can't even get compiz to run.

<tonyyarusso> So, 100% failure.

<tonyyarusso> soooooooo not ready for main / default

<mneptok> hey, at least its 100% *something*

<tonyyarusso> ha

<rexbron> morning lophyte

<SpacePuppy> hey rexbron

<rexbron> hey SpacePuppy

<rexbron> hey somerville32, its teh friendly reminder

<somerville32> :)

<somerville32> Thanks

<somerville32> I just got home so I'll take a peak in a second

<somerville32> What are the links again?

<rexbron> somerville32: upid 4149 and 4150

<matjan> hi, when using mkdosfs to change the volume name of a fat partition, does that wipe the whole file system, or does it stay intact?

<ejer> wipe

<matjan> crap... any other idea then how to change a volume name?

<ejer> fdisk ?

<ejer> why you want to?

<matjan> in a moment of brain malfunction, i named that volume 'windows'... so it is not necessary, but it would be nice to change it... ;-)

<ejer> it affects nothing

<ejer> but any partition manager app should be able to change it

<matjan> i know... still i want to change it

<matjan> without wiping?

<ejer> ya

<ejer> but no guarantees

<ejer> this is exactly the type of thing which could end up in disaster :)

<ejer> but, it is good to see disaster so you know how to deal with it

<ejer> backup everything first in other words

<Stream30> hi there

<ejer> hi

<Stream30> how are u?

<ejer> one of the best

<Stream30> hehehe

<Stream30> lol

<Stream30> i'm messing a bit with ubuntu for a week or so and i begin to like it

<ejer> excellent!

<Stream30> but now i'm in a little problem

<ejer> it grows on ya

<Stream30> yep

<ejer> shoot

<Stream30> you have to like working hard to make things appen

<Stream30> so i'm trying to resize my root partition

<ejer> yep, same as any computer :)

<Stream30> hehe

<ejer> you don't really want to do that probably....

<Stream30> i tryed with qtparted but i cant make it bigger

<ejer> what is the situation

<Stream30> well it tell's me it dosent have any space left

<ejer> why do you want to resize

<ejer> you have windows too?

<Stream30> i want to have more space

<Stream30> only in a virtual machine

<Stream30> ;)

<ejer> how big is your disk

<Stream30> for my schoole software

<ejer> did you install ubuntu yourself

<Stream30> 100g

<Stream30> yep

<ejer> and you told it to take your whole disk

<Stream30> yes... but i mage a 10g partition in fat32 for exanching in my network with my coloc

<Stream30> so now i reduced it to 7g

<Stream30> and formated te 3g in ext3

<ejer> so you have 90G for ubuntu?

<Stream30> so i wanted to add this 3g to my root

<Stream30> yes

<ejer> cuase 3g won't go far

<Stream30> lol

<ejer> you would be better off archiving some stuff to DVD and deleting it

<Stream30> well i didn't wanted to reduce my home to scrap anything on it

<Stream30> lol

<ejer> so the real problem is you cannot do anything to your root drive while booted into ubuntu

<ejer> because that is the drive ubuntu is running from

<ejer> you have to reboot into a liveCD or the ubuntu installer

<ejer> BUT

<Stream30> well, it's not a problem for now

<ejer> it is dangerous, and you may lose everything

<Stream30> but it told me i was running out of space

<ejer> yes

<Stream30> so i guess it will become a issue in some times

<ejer> so you should delete some stuff

<Stream30> in my root?

<ejer> or you should start from scratch

<Stream30> glup

<ejer> and let the ubuntu installer decide how to partition

<Stream30> i understand what u are telling me

<Stream30> but i took a week to make beryl work

<ejer> basically I am saying this is possible, but not recommended, same as in windows

<Stream30> and 2 days to make vm work

<ejer> yes

<ejer> next time it will take 15 mins, then 10 mins, then 5 :)

<Stream30> lol

<Stream30> hehe

<ejer> then you will be teaching people in here

<Stream30> surely

<ejer> but, hey, give it a try as long as you are backed up

<Stream30> what size do you recommand for the root

<ejer> this may help http://www3.telus.net/linux4u/ubuntu.html

<ejer> root needs say 6G+

<Stream30> ok

<ejer> as long as you have /home on a nother partition

<ejer> but putting it all in one partition is fine as well

<Stream30> lol

<Stream30> ok, well i think i'll do it from scratch again

<ejer> ya

<ejer> and just leave it at default

<ejer> all files in one partition (recommended for new users)

<Stream30> but can i do a fat32 partition if it is on default/

<ejer> why do fat?

<ejer> for sharing files into windows

<Stream30> yep

<ejer> but is windows installed on this machine?

<ejer> or are you talking about sharing over the network

<Stream30> on a virtual machine... but the network in the house is on windows

<ejer> ok, so if it is network, you do not need fat

<ejer> linux talks to windows over the network in windows language

<Stream30> ok

<ejer> it does not matter what type of partition

<ejer> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba

<Stream30> so he'll be able to see my shared files?

<Stream30> ok

<ejer> that is the guide for sharing files with windows over network

<Stream30> ok

<Stream30> well thank a lot for the info

<ejer> also, windows can read files from linux filesystems directly if you install a driver

<ejer> no problem

<ejer> http://www.fs-driver.org/

<ejer> but you will not need this

<Stream30> nice to see that canadians a more open to share their knoledge than french people

<ejer> I am french :)

<ejer> nice one lol

<Stream30> lol

<Stream30> je suis du quebec moi

<Stream30> lol

<Stream30> avoir su je t'aurais parler en francais

<Stream30> hehe

<ejer> :)

<Stream30> bon bien je me met au travail si je veux finir

<ejer> bonne chance!

<tonyyarusso> mneptok: See, the CBC has another Linux story - http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2007/01/22/linux-foundation.html

<tonyyarusso> Looks like the CBC is our friend.

<Burgwork> not really, but they are getting better

<tonyyarusso> Burgwork: Better than other folks anyway.

<Burgwork> yes

<Burgwork> the beeb is the best, however

<tonyyarusso> They had a story about the last SuSE release I know.

<Burgwork> http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility/linux/keyboard/keyboard_easy/tuning/tuning_response_gnome.shtml

<tonyyarusso> niiiiiice

<Burgwork> they have one for KDE as well

<tonyyarusso> 'k, so we hit the BBC too

<Burgwork> not really our balliwick

<Burgwork> however, is the marketing teams, in conjuction with the -uk team

<tonyyarusso> Yeah

<tonyyarusso> mneptok said he might be able to hook us up on this side of the pond though, which would be sweet, and the UK is right on Canonical's home turf.
