#ubuntu, 1150 users
CDOG :: bhlewis, well youve been great help, i guess i can feel safe now.. the person who tried to login, i do know who it is, is just such an ass, when will he ever get a life. Bye and thanks again
fab4fan :: hi all
tux97 :: hi fab4fan
fab4fan :: I need some help with partitioning a hard drive
-- lekkijo_ has quit ("Ex-Chat")
fab4fan :: it's a 40GB second drive
nickeldeuce :: so whenever i have compiz running, i randomly lose keyboard input in a particular application. anyone heard of this before?
* TerminusEst slaps fab4fan around a bit with a large trout
fab4fan :: I've got it partitioned but it's not showing up in "places"
DistroJockey :: Zimbo: I guess if you were scripting, --option would be easier to follow. But if you are doing a one off quicky, -o is quicker.
-- _moro_bana_ has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
TerminusEst :: which partitioner?
nickeldeuce :: Zimbo, it has to do with the origin of the utility

nickeldeuce :: GNU had a different convention than everyone else
kdorf :: nickeldeuce: I've had it happen before. Compiz is a bit buggy, that's what I would attribute it to
spudratic :: later all happy Easter to those who partake
Rubie :: i use wireless key view and it gives me this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2337/2353152859_73de2f2da4.jpg?v=0
kdorf :: nickeldeuce: try restarting compiz.
-- spudratic (n=spudrati@adsl-75-58-116-92.dsl.wlfrct.sbcglobal.net) has left #ubuntu ("Konversation terminated!")
IndyGunFreak has quit ("Ex-Chat")
nickeldeuce :: it does it nearly every time i log in, so i dunno how that would help
Zimbo :: ok, thanks guys, those are pretty good reasons
fab4fan :: when I edited the fstab file it created a new one called fstab~
nickeldeuce :: :P
TerminusEst :: partitioned as Ext2?
Zimbo :: I'm sure it was something Richard Stallman came up with one day at lunch :-)
fab4fan :: terminus: no Ext3
-- goose_ has quit ("Leaving")
DistroJockey :: :)
nikrud :: never thought stallman needed to eat
TerminusEst :: hummm
barslow :: hello, i broke my ubuntu partition, so i reinstalled a new version on a different HD.... now i want to edit files on the broken partition but i dont have read/write access.... can someone help?
Rubie :: fourx4luvn i use wireless key view and it gives me this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2337/2353152859_73de2f2da4.jpg?v=0
cory__ :: Well poop
kdorf :: nickeldeuce: you lose all keyboard input in one particular application, is that correct?
Rubie :: fourx4luvn and the key is 9faaa41359297209c77ca2181d15ca53592385e635ecb3c6702f017c72215f6a
TerminusEst :: strange, i got this same problem with 6.10 once
bhlewis :: CDOG: good luck dealing with that person
cory__ :: I have sound when i test, but not in game..lol
druke :: what is the package to needed to open .rar files
kdorf :: cory__: run winecfg and try setting your sound to ALSA
ani1 :: unrar druke
-- Little`Sister (n=satanjon@12-205-166-132.client.mchsi.com) has left #ubuntu
Scunizi has quit (Remote closed the connection)
TerminusEst :: but when i upgraded to feisty it disappeared
Rubie :: now what i'm supposed to do with that i don't know
druke :: ani1, ah hah!! thanks
nikrud :: barslow is the old partition mounted, and is it ext3?
-- :: Vecnah (n=vec@vecna.vecnix.net) has joined #ubuntu
Zimbo :: I read somewhere that he claims to live in his office at times... apparently he's still being paid as a post-doc and hence never had the money to buy a real house. I expect he's quite a character in person...
fab4fan :: terminus: I found the ubuntu help page and got the fstab file edited
nickeldeuce :: yep
hischild :: druke, that'd be unrar if i'm correct
Rubie :: druke it should just let you do it in ubuntu
fab4fan :: why did gedit save fstab as fstab~
druke :: Rubie, nope need unrar, couldn't recall the name
ani1 :: fab4fan: its a backup file fstab~ is
TerminusEst :: fab4fan: backup file
nickeldeuce :: kdorf, sometimes i can go for hours, other times it happens after typing a few words

ani1 :: fab4fan: run diff on them you'll see the difference :)

-- :: wind1159 (n=Kevin@ip-129-15-127-253.fennfwsm.ou.edu) has joined #ubuntu
fab4fan :: ani1: ok, I can understand that but why are the changes appearing in the backup and not the primary ?

#ubuntu+1, 265 users
ani1 :: fab4fan: you must have opened the incorrect file :| just edit fstab again
RioMerc :: I'm having some difficulty setting up dual monitors
druke :: Rubie, in hardy beta I couldn't till just now, (after isntalling the unrar package)
kdorf :: nickeldeuce: there's probably something triggering it. I don't know a whole lot about the workings of compiz but I might conjecture that there is a keyboard conflict or something which causes things to but out. just throwing ideas out, though
nikrud :: fab4fan do you have an fstab~~ ?
fab4fan :: yup, ok, I'll try again
no
kdorf :: bug out*
Zimbo :: Silly question #2: If bzip2 is supposedly better than gzip, why is most everything in Ubuntu .tgz format bather than .bgz? Just historical inertia?
cory__ :: yea.. i get bad FPS now
Rubie :: druke awwkay that clears up my confusion
ani1 :: nikrud: can that happen?
astro76 :: Zimbo: bzip compression is *slow*
