| 00:09.53 | steve8track | the GUI just undoes my trying to set it to "Disabled", yet I can set it to other keys. |
| 00:11.07 | steve8track | The first time I installed it I didn't like it nearly as much as beryl, but now that I have a plugin manager, it's got some new features beryl didn't, though it also lacks one or two that I miss. |
| 00:11.20 | jessie_ | i see. |
| 00:11.23 | steve8track | (unless I just haven't found them yet) |

| 19:00.37 | sontek | Zelut: whats the best plugins for wp? |
| 19:00.47 | sontek | Zelut: and do you use anything but googe analytics for stats? |
| 19:03.28 | atoponce | sontek: check out statcounter.com. i like it |
| 19:14.56 | herlo | atoponce: ping |
| 19:16.14 | herlo | sontek: I like statcounter.com too, much better than g-analytics |
| 19:16.27 | herlo | well, at least for setting it up anyways... |
| 19:17.05 | atoponce | it doesn't require flash, and it's got more options and reports that google does |
| 19:18.19 | atoponce | herlo: pong |
| 19:39.32 | herlo | atoponce: I just wanted to apologize for my stupidity |
| 19:39.45 | atoponce | herlo: no worries |
| 19:40.02 | herlo | atoponce: I'm thinking I'll get it better organized for next month... |
| 19:41.33 | atoponce | you missed a good meet |
| 19:41.36 | atoponce | not going to lie |
| 19:41.37 | atoponce | :) |
| 19:44.47 | sontek | I want to meet |
| 19:45.02 | sontek | wanna meetup at herlos house for chips, salsa, and movies? |
| 19:45.39 | atoponce | sure. what movies? |
| 19:47.13 | sontek | I'm partial to the latest House, Prison Break, Greys Anatomy, Heroes, and I want to checkout all those new geek shows |
| 19:48.42 | herlo | sontek: come on over |
| 19:48.52 | sontek | is stats counter better than just doing awstats? |
| 19:49.09 | sontek | w00t, i'll get to tinfoil your house and play wow with chris |
| 19:49.27 | sontek | I wonder what server hes on |
| 19:50.47 | sontek | We use awstsats and work and it does pretty much everything we want, but i've never seen stats counter |
| 19:51.28 | sontek | only bad thing about it is the perl =) |
| 19:54.49 | herlo | awstats is just hard to maintain |
| 19:55.09 | herlo | you have no security out of the box and you have to keep it running. Seemed to be a memory hog when I used it... |
| 19:55.51 | sontek | herlo: thats what deny, allow and .htaccess are for :D |
| 19:56.06 | herlo | sontek: .htaccess is a memory hog |
| 19:56.10 | herlo | wasteful |

| 20:51.12 | Zelut | sontek: I saw the post, thanks. |
| 20:51.19 | Zelut | The Kingdom was pretty good by the way |
| 20:52.02 | mheath | herlo: You really did miss a good presentation, though. Aaron did a really good job. |
| 20:52.23 | Zelut | what'd aaron present on? was this the kernel compilation topic? |
| 20:52.40 | mheath | Zelut: No, _I_ was supposed to do kernel compiling, but my laptop decided to die on me just a few days ago. |
| 20:52.57 | Zelut | ohh yeah |
| 20:53.19 | mheath | Zelut: Aaron did a really neat intro on Linux/Unix filesystem permissions. |
| 20:53.33 | Zelut | right on |
| 20:53.43 | mheath | Aaron being atoponce. |
| 20:54.40 | mheath | HEh, we did it at the library...afterword I went to rent a book... |
| 20:54.55 | mheath | Discovered I owed a fine from the last time I checked out a boot there, when I was about 9 years old. |
| 20:55.24 | mheath | Does anyone here have any recommendations on cheap, low power laptops? |
| 20:55.27 | Zelut | lol |
| 20:55.40 | mheath | Perhaps used or refurbished ones, but with a warranty? |
| 20:55.46 | maquis | mheath: olpc? |
| 20:55.54 | maquis | cheap, low power.... |
| 20:55.55 | Zelut | I'm a big fan of system76.com |
| 20:55.56 | maquis | runs linux |
| 20:55.59 | mheath | maquis: I've actually been looking into that. |
| 20:56.03 | mheath | But the thing is, you can't just buy one |
| 20:56.04 | Zelut | you wont have hibernate problems with those machines :) |
| 20:56.07 | maquis | mheath: i want one :) |
| 20:56.13 | mheath | You have to do their whole "buy two, get one, donate one"t hing |
| 20:56.27 | sontek | mheath: go to UofU surplus |
| 20:56.35 | sontek | I just got katie a $200 laptop that was decent |
| 20:56.43 | mheath | sontek: Do they perhaps have a site with inventory and prices? |
| 20:56.45 | sontek | I had to buy her a new batter but that was only $60 |
| 20:56.51 | maquis | mheath: i'm sure they'll let you buy 1 donate 1 as well |
| 20:56.57 | mheath | maquis: Indeed. |
| 20:56.59 | sontek | mheath: yeah, the listing isn't that great, its better just to swing by |
| 20:57.43 | mheath | The problem with laptops on Ebay and such.... |
| 20:57.50 | peno | u of u surplus rocks. |
| 20:57.55 | mheath | Even if the battery works, they ALWAYS just say "battery has no warranty" |
| 20:58.05 | mheath | So you never know which ones are working and which ones aren't. |
| 20:58.14 | maquis | *grumble* |
| 20:58.27 | mheath | OOH, that reminds me, I gotta get all my stuff listed on Ebay today. |
| 20:58.42 | mheath | GOt a "no listing fees in September" deal. |
| 20:59.41 | mheath | I use my laptop enough for school that I'm almost considering getting a student loan to get a new one with, though. I don't know if it's worth that, though. |
| 21:03.27 | Zelut | I need to do a writeup on my blog about compiz-fusion in ubuntu 7.10. this is some cool stuff |
| 21:03.42 | Zelut | and the best part is that it took *zero* config on my machine with an intel graphics card |
| 21:04.55 | Zelut | cube + expo + group/tab is nice.. and actually functional |
| 21:25.53 | Zelut | nice, just realizes closing the lid on my laptop does suspend and wireless restores fine |
| 21:26.01 | Zelut | hadn't tested that in a while.. still works |
| 21:33.31 | sontek | :O |
| 21:36.51 | Zelut | i really need to setup my apt-cacher here. *so* many updates still coming down the pipe |

| 23:32.40 | Ragesanj | Hey guys |
| 23:32.59 | Ragesanj | I got a small edubuntu prob |
| 23:33.09 | Ragesanj | anyone here would like to help me out ? |
| 23:35.52 | mrpull-lt | Ragesanj: what's the problem? |
| 23:43.02 | Ragesanj | Oh soz |
| 23:43.07 | Ragesanj | was trying to figure it out |
| 23:43.11 | Ragesanj | I am trying to install |
| 23:43.15 | Ragesanj | Edubuntu |
| 23:43.22 | Ragesanj | using my hard disk |
| 23:43.27 | Ragesanj | instead of booting it from the cd |
| 23:43.42 | Ragesanj | through window |
| 23:43.44 | Ragesanj | windows* |
| 23:43.55 | Ragesanj | the problem is that when i try to append |
| 23:44.03 | Ragesanj | the grldr file to boot.ini |
| 23:44.05 | Ragesanj | in DOS |
| 23:44.09 | Ragesanj | it says access denied |
| 23:44.16 | Ragesanj | so i'm basically stuck there |
| 23:44.37 | Ragesanj | as i can't install ubuntu on my system XD |
| 23:45.13 | mrpull-lt | which version of windows? |
| 23:45.18 | Ragesanj | XP |
| 23:45.33 | Ragesanj | I am the administrator too. |
| 23:45.37 | mrpull-lt | are you logged in as a user in the administrators group? |
| 23:45.39 | mrpull-lt | nm |
| 23:47.17 | mrpull-lt | there is a gui way to start editing the boot.ini |
| 23:47.25 | mrpull-lt | right click "my computer" |
| 23:47.29 | mrpull-lt | choose properties |
| 23:47.34 | Ragesanj | yes |
| 23:47.38 | Ragesanj | I know that |
| 23:47.43 | mrpull-lt | go to advanced... crap |
| 23:47.54 | Ragesanj | startup |
| 23:47.55 | mrpull-lt | I didn't think that'd be the ticket, but a place to start |
| 23:47.58 | Ragesanj | and recovery tab |
| 23:48.08 | Ragesanj | and then settings |
| 23:48.18 | Ragesanj | so what after that then ? |
| 23:48.45 | mrpull-lt | when you hit settings, does it launch notepad with boot.ini loaded? |
| 23:48.50 | Ragesanj | yes |
| 23:48.59 | Ragesanj | you can also just go on dos and tye |
| 23:49.02 | Ragesanj | boot.ini |
| 23:49.02 | Ragesanj | too |
| 23:49.07 | mrpull-lt | (I guess you need to click edit) |
| 23:49.16 | Ragesanj | P |
| 23:49.24 | Ragesanj | I know this far but dont know what to edit now XD |
| 23:50.51 | Ragesanj | what after the boot.ini shows up on my text editor ? what now ? |
| 23:51.33 | mrpull-lt | you don't know what to type? or it won't let you type? |
| 23:51.42 | Ragesanj | dont know what to type |
| 23:51.56 | mrpull-lt | heh... ok. I don't know what you should type either :) |
| 23:52.24 | Ragesanj | title Install Ubuntu |
| 23:52.24 | Ragesanj | kernel (hd0,0)/boot/linux vga=normal ramdisk_size=14972 root=/dev/rd/0 rw -- |
| 23:52.24 | Ragesanj | initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.gz |
| 23:52.28 | mrpull-lt | last time I installed linux from windows I was using windows 95 (with DOS) |
| 23:52.30 | Ragesanj | is it something like that ? |
| 23:53.04 | mrpull-lt | those look a lot like grub parameters rather than boot.ini params |
| 23:53.14 | Ragesanj | yeah thats true |
| 23:53.19 | mrpull-lt | are you following a doc or just winging it? |
| 23:53.26 | Ragesanj | doc |
| 23:53.44 | mrpull-lt | are you on a system without a cdrom or something? |
| 23:53.45 | Ragesanj | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows |
| 23:54.39 | mrpull-lt | <PROTECTED> |
| 23:54.49 | mrpull-lt | that looks the line to put in boot.ini |
| 23:55.14 | mrpull-lt | only the | Append c:\grldr="Install Ubuntu" | part (of course) |
| 23:55.15 | Ragesanj | are you sure it's the line to put in ? |
| 23:55.22 | mrpull-lt | that's what the doc says :) |
| 23:55.30 | Ragesanj | I thought it was a comman |
| 23:55.35 | Ragesanj | to be performed |
| 23:55.37 | Ragesanj | on dos |
| 23:55.38 | Ragesanj | xD |
| 23:56.30 | mrpull-lt | that is the entry in the windows boot loader to invoke grub |
| 23:56.41 | mrpull-lt | make sure you have grub for windows installed as described in that doc |
| 23:57.11 | mrpull-lt | are you familiar with grub in general? |
| 23:57.12 | Ragesanj | grub installed ? |
| 23:57.14 | Ragesanj | Nope |
| 23:57.36 | Ragesanj | I did follow the commands exactly |
| 23:57.42 | Ragesanj | I do have grub but not installed since |
| 23:57.51 | Ragesanj | he just wanted a single file from it |
| 23:58.50 | mrpull-lt | the way I'm reading it, it says extract grldr to c:\ |
| 23:59.03 | Ragesanj | I did that |
| 23:59.39 | mrpull-lt | ok. that is the grub program that the windows boot loader will invoke. |
| 23:59.54 | Ragesanj | So i just need to restart then ? |
