[BOS] hi, this might be offtopic to some extent, but I can surely use good opinions/ideas, HP Pavilion dv6 with colorful vertical lines, from what I've seen it seems to be caused by heat ! [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] did any of you guys experience something similar? [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] what is dv6? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I was stupid enough to not check and then double check for problems with those models of HP notebooks/laptops [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] if you know this is caused by heat the only easy solution is to just make sure you keep it as cool as possible [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] cause I would've discovered things like http://hpverticalline.com/ before I buy [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] did you have a similar problem? [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] my aunt is having the same problem with a dell [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] the problem is I can't live with it, simply cause I move alot which means heat for short [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] well, you didn't help her getting it fixed? [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] the only QUICK solution I can think of is to get one of those cooling pads they make for laptops with the extra fans in them. [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] the problem seems to exist in the screen inverter [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] due to a very stupid heatsink design [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes she had to buy a new screen [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yeah I thought of that already, the problem is that it's not fixed yet [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] I think I should get rid of it [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes even if you buy a new screen it will either only be a temporary fix or not stop completely the only other option is to send it into HP unless you know someone with spare parts [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] even if I sent it to HP care, it's a temporary fix, they'd replace the inverter same problem exists I think [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] since your not the only one I am sure that has had this problem they may have redesigned the parts to work better [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yeah no one learns for free [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] yeah I'm hoping for that, the problem is that the only solution would be in the inverter itself cause they wouldn't be able to modify my frigin notebook's casing design [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] half the heat goes up to the inverter [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] yes I'm hoping [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] honestly if you send it in and have it fixed then the battle would be keeping it cool so it doesnt happen again. I would just invest in a better laptop [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] although I guess mine isn't that Old [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] there are plenty of low cost laptops out there now that will last 10 years or better [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I guess it was manufactured way after that problem was wide spread [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] what is so great about that model? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] It would be hard to choose something with a similar Hardware specifications [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] it's just the 3MB L2 cache and 4MB RAM with ATI Radeon [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] oh yeah I see your point [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I guess I'll have to contact HP support and try to convince them to tell me if they've developed a solution for such problem heh [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yeah that's what I would do so you know if the problem will actually be fixed or not [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] do you know a better Laptop with similar hardware? [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I like it, it works great for multimedia [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] never heard of it heh [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] sounds an Acer? [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yeah they are a division of acer [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] nice [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am big on multimedia and it works great for that. [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I wonder about graphics too [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] but I am also a hobbyist and like to fix up and use old computer [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] well I guess I know what I have to do, and I should've waited to get a Dell Altitude or something [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] what do you use it for? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I'm investing money in laptop/notebook cause I don't have a Desktop PC [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] get this [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] well a wide varity of uses actually [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I do alot of video like movies and all that [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] 3D Modeling sometimes as well [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] yeah and of course heavy Video editing [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I am using RIGHT NOW a IBM Thinkpad 600X w/ Pentium III 500mhz and I am able to stream my movies to the PS3 just fine [EoT]
[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] I've been using configurations like that for ages, and thought it's time for some Luxury if you know what I mean a relief instead of waiting for Rendering [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes I know what you mean that is what I got the Emachines laptop for, if I need any power processing to be done [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] you can't do more tasks with rendering in background "Even with my hardware specs" [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am not sure what you mean by rendering? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] High Definition videos or 3D animations sometimes [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] yeah I figured :-) [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] it was mostly a project just to see if it could do it [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I think I came across something like ccleaner although I never needed such things with Linux in general [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Linux doesn't need those types of programs? I am wondering because it seems like this laptop has been slowing down lately [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I'm sure you can find out more on Ubuntu Forums, cause I can't recall at the moment [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] I'll try to remember though :-) [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] slowing down, could be caused by a number of reasons, did you try a tool like htop? to monitor CPU/Mem usage [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] just to perform basic tasks [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] well htop is a CLI utility that would tell you what's the process using your CPU/Mem the most [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] can you get it? [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am not sure but I will check into that [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] first you need to know what's using your CPU [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] yes it's a very useful tool [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] yes ccleaner and glary is what I use for my windows op systems [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] great :-) [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] as far as I recall ccleaner was mostly for Windows Registery, you don't have such thing in a Linux environment [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ok I am installing it now [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] well you don't need that with Ubuntu, so let's see what's eating your system's resources [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] got it installed? [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] well it's not letting me download it, it says that it requires installation of untrusted packages and I click ok and it stops the download. It doesn't give me any other option [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] how did you install ? [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] do an update, do you know how? [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] also, do you update whenever there's an update available? [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes I always make sure I keep it up to date [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] first of all, do you do any production work on this Ubuntu? [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] production work? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] video editing? [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] what tool are you using? [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] OK back to your problem, was making sure of the tools you need most [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] you had this problem earlier before I told you about htop? [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] see if there updates available, then try to install htop again [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] yeah I already made sure everything was up to date before I got on this chat [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] you could try top [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] see if you have top installed [EoU]	[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] actually I am being swamped with some problems at the moment haha I am going to have to get off here and start takin care of some of this [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] what torrent client is eating up your CPU? [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am trying to do to much at one time [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] unfortunately I can't do that heh, I get nervous multitasking [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yeah I multitask alot hahah and I got ahead of myself at the moment [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] restarting your transmission is the shorter faster solution [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] I wonder how you could find out it's Transmission though ;-) [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am good at sensing these things [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] hahaha yeah right [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I pay close attention to how my computer acts at all times [EoT]
[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] it's not an engine mek ;-) [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am computer whisperer [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] you use voice recognition to use your computer? [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] abort [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] hahaha nice one [EoT]	[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] uh your last trasmission was jumbled so anyways hows the weather over there in idaho [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] no worries I was just busy Rolling on Floor Laughing [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] oh I thought maybe I was gettin to weird [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] heh it's cool no worries [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] may I PM? [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] cool [EOS]
[BOS] control panel, system, system restore or something like that [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] and kinda ot here ;) [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i can get to the backup utility but i see no way to disable it. [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] theres an option which reads enable system restore for all disks, unclick it [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] doesn't make much sense to me [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] close to this option are the environment variables [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] do you want to install xubuntu with wubi? [EoU] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] then you dont have to fiddle with any windows system settings [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] cool [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] meaning you want to install it to your harddisk, get rid of windows and you have a backup of your valuale data [EoT]	[2 days 23:42:00] [SoT] ok so i have to type "sudo" before right? because it said "No such file or directory" [EoT]
[3 days 03:06:00] [SoT] you realize that then your w-lan is a hot-spot for everyone in reach of it? [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i dont think so ... i cant even connect to it ... also it has a key icon next to it meaning it requires some kind of key (wireless network key?) [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] you bought your windows-box from the same place? sure they didn't set a password? [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] or was some kind of setup-disc included? [EoU] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] as soadkombucha said, you need that key they set and that you viewed in that software they gave you [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i will go look in the box....i do not know for sure since they did the setup for me [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] if that is the key it should work [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] though I also have sometimes issues here with my wireless router, sometimes he refuses the connection, especially with usb-wlan sticks I got [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] try entering it exactly and try connecting, maybe restart your wireless router and try again [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] it will try automatically a few times I think [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] what will try automatically? to connect? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] the network tray applet will try several times [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] you should see an icon in the upper panel [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i do not know what that is. is it the mechanism that trys to connect to the network? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I think it'S related to networkmanager, anyway, there you see the available wireless network and it will also notify when it is connected [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] ok i will try and then come back....i dont have access to two computers now...time to reboot to lucid...thanks ubutom... be back soon [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] could be that you have to change the input mask to hex key or something [EoT]	[0 days 00:41:00] [SoT] hello, so when logged on i saw a gray translucent box saying "Wireless Networks Available - Click on this icon to connect to an available network" (the icon looks like a bunch of spreading radio waves. i assume that is the Network Icon) [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] and have you entered that key you mentioned? [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] and did it work? [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] so I noticed that at the get go I am disconnected. so I click the Network Wireless Icon and a pop up window appears saying "Unlock Keyring" at first I thought I had to enter that 20 bit hex key... but eventually I realized that this window jsut wanted my Ubuntu password that I created during installation. After I entered that password I start up Firefox [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] not sure about that keyring thing, I don't use it [EoT]	[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] I turned off offline mode thinking that it would work but nothing...then i clicked the "Problem Loading Page " button and a pop-up came up saying "Wireless Network Authentication Required". This is the window that shows my ""Wireless Security: WPA & WPA2 Personal"" and below that it shows ""Password: (here i enter that 20bit hex key)"" [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] it takes a few seconds [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] is it normal for it to keep pulsing like that? it never stops for me [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] it does it for some seconds and then connects [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] ok because mine never stops that animation...makes sense since i can not connect...constantly it tries to connect [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] try restarting your wireless router, might work [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] so when i run System Monitor ...Network History is a dead flat line...no activity there [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] if its not connected thats no wonder [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] right [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] go to netwrok connections in system - settings and make the connection available for every user, so you won't need to enter a key for keyring anymore [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] as I said, also try restarting the router, sometimes they just refuse to connect, had that with some usb-sticks, sometimes I had to wait like 10 - 15 minutes until they finally decided to speak with each other again ;) [EoU]	[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] so i should unplug the router when ubuntu loads up? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] before or while ubuntu tries to establish the connection, yes, sometimes it helps [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i see. have you ever seen a problem like mine before where Ubuntu keeps trying to connect (constantly animated icon) ? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] as a matter of fact, yeah, I have, just 2 days ago with my laptop which had this usb-stick to connect ;) [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] so would say that my wireless card is healthy? i figure it is since it is seeing my wireless network [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] yep, 802.11g usb-stick [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] router was another brand, maybe devices from the same manufacturer work better together [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i see. so would you say this issue is a router issue only? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] could be, but there is also the chance it is because of the key, you might want to try to set up yourself another one [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] interesting idea....how would i go about doing that? is there a guide online? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I also experienced some problems when I just used a really, really long key consisting of characters and numbers, it just didn't work with that, so I used a short sentence and didn'T have that much problems then [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] I'm sure there are several guides out there, however, maybe you can also ask the people who sold you the hardware, sicne they have set it up [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] I think there are also some password-generators in the web [EoU] [0 days 00:03:00] [SoU] I'm not sure if the password was just wrong that I picked, or if it was too ling and the router couldn't handle it because of that :) [EoU]	[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] so it could be the password i have is not being processed? that is so bizarre [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] well, some hardware isn't what it claims to be... [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] and you are talking about my router? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] no, in general, just because hardware has a feature on paper doesn't mean it always can really perform it. [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] so i basically the simplest way to resolve this would be to contact my ISP and have them come and change the HEX key? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I don't know, could cost something, do you have a password for your routers web configuration? [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i do not know what you mean by "routers web configuration". [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] can you maybe set another key with some windows-dial-in software or where that hex key is stored? [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] most routers can be accessed through an ip in your lan, via browser, there you can change passwords, security settings, turn firewall on and off and so on [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] like i said before, the ISP service people came over a year ago and just set the router up and i never got to see what they were doing...i could not have them communicate to me what they were doing...highly frustrating situation... i feel kind of powerless because of the language barrier [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] what do they speak? Sure they have some english speaking guys? [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i understand what you mean....polish. i am in poland. [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] no, you can access it yourself, if you have access to it that is [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] what do you mean? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] you could need a password to enter the web-configuration [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] did they not give you any manuals? [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] cant i just call them up and they can give it to me? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] sure, and what connermcd said [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] yeah i am going to have to get my lady to help me contact them to get my router username and passowrd [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] have you tried entering the passes the others suggested you? [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] yes i did....tried "admin: admin" = didnt work [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yeah, there is on most routers a switch you need a sharp thing to press, a pen or a needle or anything else that fits in and press it a fey seconds [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] BUT, it will aslo erase the settings they did to get your connection to work [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] and if you don't have those you will have to let them set it up again for you [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] super good point! [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] didn't you get any paperwork from them? [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i have a box...i will check it now [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I have my ISP number and password for dsl connection and everything in one place, would recommend that [EoT] [0 days 00:06:00] [SoU] and what about the details about your line? no number and password to use for ppp? [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] and please don't write it in the channel ;D [EoU]	[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] what line? my connection? i dont know what ppp is. [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] so you have Wireless LAN Bridge maybe? [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] point to point protocol I think, it's how people connect with their Digital Subscriber Line, but sionce you have a roof-antenna... [EoU]	[0 days 00:03:00] [SoT] yes i think it would be a Wireless LAN Bridge [EoT]
[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] yeah, wanted to suggest that, maybe they can tell you how to setup the w-lan key in ubuntu , as it didn't work when you tried [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] then you should be able to set your own WPA2 key and try if it works then, you also have to set the new key then in windows [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] but maybe it will be easier to get some assistence on the wpa-key setting in ubuntu [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ok [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] they have to have some kind of admin who can guide you trhough the setup [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] well i jsut downlaoded a program called wirelesskeyview-x64 and reacquired the key and compared it to the one i had written a few months ago...it is the same one [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] and usually they are linux-savvy :) [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] the ISP people ? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yep [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] don't know that program and if that is correct what it says [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ahh ok. perhaps. but the language difference it a bit tough [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] ok, gotta go now, see ya and good luck, bye [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ok thanks a lot [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] in doubt try babelfish, lol :D [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] right.. better that way [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] or some polish friend who speaks english sluently [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ok i will consider [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] well, some progress there :) [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i'll say :) [EoT]
[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] have you tried setting a shorter password? Maybe this could help, without guarantee :) [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] no i am certain that is not the issue....my connection is rock solid with all my other internet apps [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] sudo /etc/init.d networking restart or something like that :) [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] but a reboot does the job also [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] thanks haha yes i just looked it up too [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] well, you're almost there :) [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] :) yeah its great [EOS]
[BOS] it doesnt if you are in /home or somesuch [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] it will only delete the whole system if your pwd is / [EoU]	[11 days 07:29:00] [SoT] All configuration for pretty much every program is kept in either /home/.programname (hidden files) Or in /etc/<something> [EoT]
[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] yeah but ive put the flash .so file in a billion folders but still get no flash [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] Maybe this helps?? http://forums.getswiftfox.com/viewtopic.php?t=72&sid=76489ad2f40dd7ed20d421103ece11bb [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] let me check [EoT] [197 days 23:23:00] [SoU] running fewer apps wont save battery [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] you can install a minimal ubuntu then just install firefox [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Well I think it will because I won't be wasting processor power on things like ssh servers and things. Right? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] you can also install xpud for a very minimal and fast booting system (less than 3 seconds) which has a very low set of hardware drivers and few apps [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] the cpu still runs the same [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] is xpud a distribution? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] its a distribution of linux, its not ubuntu based [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] Does running entirely from ram save battery? I imagine it would what with the power it takes to spin my HDD [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] theres also feather linux, damnsmall linux, puppy [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Thanks [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] xpud [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] arch or xpud? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] sure will, you can tell the drive to spindown [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Well like puppy for example runs entirely in ram (no HDD touching at all until you save files) [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes but autoclean means they will never mount up again [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] Knick-RDP o, yeah. But now apt is convinced those .deb files are "missing" [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] perhaps ;) [EoT]	[9 days 17:46:00] [SoT] steffan See what he said? ^^ [EoT]
[72 days 03:51:00] [SoT] will need sudo, users dont have write access to sources.list [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] True [EoT]
[0 days 00:03:00] [SoT] just sees if the packages are square [EoT] [44 days 17:45:00] [SoU] http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-enable-automati-logon-in-ubuntu-or-kubuntu.html [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] please read my questions more carefully. auto-login is working. Remembering my wifi password is not working. [EoT]

[BOS] hi, this might be offtopic to some extent, but I can surely use good opinions/ideas, HP Pavilion dv6 with colorful vertical lines, from what I've seen it seems to be caused by heat ! [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] did any of you guys experience something similar? [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] what is dv6? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I was stupid enough to not check and then double check for problems with those models of HP notebooks/laptops [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] if you know this is caused by heat the only easy solution is to just make sure you keep it as cool as possible [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] cause I would've discovered things like http://hpverticalline.com/ before I buy [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] did you have a similar problem? [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] my aunt is having the same problem with a dell [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] the problem is I can't live with it, simply cause I move alot which means heat for short [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] well, you didn't help her getting it fixed? [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] the only QUICK solution I can think of is to get one of those cooling pads they make for laptops with the extra fans in them. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] the problem seems to exist in the screen inverter [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] due to a very stupid heatsink design [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes she had to buy a new screen [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yeah I thought of that already, the problem is that it's not fixed yet [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] I think I should get rid of it [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes even if you buy a new screen it will either only be a temporary fix or not stop completely the only other option is to send it into HP unless you know someone with spare parts [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] even if I sent it to HP care, it's a temporary fix, they'd replace the inverter same problem exists I think [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] since your not the only one I am sure that has had this problem they may have redesigned the parts to work better [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yeah no one learns for free [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] yeah I'm hoping for that, the problem is that the only solution would be in the inverter itself cause they wouldn't be able to modify my frigin notebook's casing design [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] half the heat goes up to the inverter [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] yes I'm hoping [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] honestly if you send it in and have it fixed then the battle would be keeping it cool so it doesnt happen again. I would just invest in a better laptop [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] although I guess mine isn't that Old [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] there are plenty of low cost laptops out there now that will last 10 years or better [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I guess it was manufactured way after that problem was wide spread [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] what is so great about that model? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] It would be hard to choose something with a similar Hardware specifications [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] it's just the 3MB L2 cache and 4MB RAM with ATI Radeon [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] oh yeah I see your point [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I guess I'll have to contact HP support and try to convince them to tell me if they've developed a solution for such problem heh [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yeah that's what I would do so you know if the problem will actually be fixed or not [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] do you know a better Laptop with similar hardware? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I like it, it works great for multimedia [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] never heard of it heh [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] sounds an Acer? [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yeah they are a division of acer [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] nice [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am big on multimedia and it works great for that. [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I wonder about graphics too [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] but I am also a hobbyist and like to fix up and use old computer [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] well I guess I know what I have to do, and I should've waited to get a Dell Altitude or something [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] what do you use it for? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I'm investing money in laptop/notebook cause I don't have a Desktop PC [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] get this [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] well a wide varity of uses actually [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I do alot of video like movies and all that [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] 3D Modeling sometimes as well [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] yeah and of course heavy Video editing [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I am using RIGHT NOW a IBM Thinkpad 600X w/ Pentium III 500mhz and I am able to stream my movies to the PS3 just fine [EoT]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] I've been using configurations like that for ages, and thought it's time for some Luxury if you know what I mean a relief instead of waiting for Rendering [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes I know what you mean that is what I got the Emachines laptop for, if I need any power processing to be done [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] you can't do more tasks with rendering in background "Even with my hardware specs" [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am not sure what you mean by rendering? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] High Definition videos or 3D animations sometimes [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] yeah I figured :-) [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] it was mostly a project just to see if it could do it [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I think I came across something like ccleaner although I never needed such things with Linux in general [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Linux doesn't need those types of programs? I am wondering because it seems like this laptop has been slowing down lately [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I'm sure you can find out more on Ubuntu Forums, cause I can't recall at the moment [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] I'll try to remember though :-) [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] slowing down, could be caused by a number of reasons, did you try a tool like htop? to monitor CPU/Mem usage [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] just to perform basic tasks [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] well htop is a CLI utility that would tell you what's the process using your CPU/Mem the most [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] can you get it? [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am not sure but I will check into that [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] first you need to know what's using your CPU [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] yes it's a very useful tool [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] yes ccleaner and glary is what I use for my windows op systems [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] great :-) [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] as far as I recall ccleaner was mostly for Windows Registery, you don't have such thing in a Linux environment [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ok I am installing it now [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] well you don't need that with Ubuntu, so let's see what's eating your system's resources [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] got it installed? [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] well it's not letting me download it, it says that it requires installation of untrusted packages and I click ok and it stops the download. It doesn't give me any other option [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] how did you install ? [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] do an update, do you know how? [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] also, do you update whenever there's an update available? [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes I always make sure I keep it up to date [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] first of all, do you do any production work on this Ubuntu? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] production work? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] video editing? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] what tool are you using? [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] OK back to your problem, was making sure of the tools you need most [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] you had this problem earlier before I told you about htop? [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] see if there updates available, then try to install htop again [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] yeah I already made sure everything was up to date before I got on this chat [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] you could try top [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] see if you have top installed [EoU]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] actually I am being swamped with some problems at the moment haha I am going to have to get off here and start takin care of some of this [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] what torrent client is eating up your CPU? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am trying to do to much at one time [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] unfortunately I can't do that heh, I get nervous multitasking [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yeah I multitask alot hahah and I got ahead of myself at the moment [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] restarting your transmission is the shorter faster solution [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] I wonder how you could find out it's Transmission though ;-) [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am good at sensing these things [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] hahaha yeah right [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I pay close attention to how my computer acts at all times [EoT]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] it's not an engine mek ;-) [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am computer whisperer [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] you use voice recognition to use your computer? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] abort [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] hahaha nice one [EoT]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] uh your last trasmission was jumbled so anyways hows the weather over there in idaho [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] no worries I was just busy Rolling on Floor Laughing [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] oh I thought maybe I was gettin to weird [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] heh it's cool no worries [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] may I PM? [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] cool [EOS]

[BOS] control panel, system, system restore or something like that [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] and kinda ot here ;) [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i can get to the backup utility but i see no way to disable it. [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] theres an option which reads enable system restore for all disks, unclick it [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] doesn't make much sense to me [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] close to this option are the environment variables [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] do you want to install xubuntu with wubi? [EoU] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] then you dont have to fiddle with any windows system settings [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] cool [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] meaning you want to install it to your harddisk, get rid of windows and you have a backup of your valuale data [EoT]

[2 days 23:42:00] [SoT] ok so i have to type "sudo" before right? because it said "No such file or directory" [EoT]

[3 days 03:06:00] [SoT] you realize that then your w-lan is a hot-spot for everyone in reach of it? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i dont think so ... i cant even connect to it ... also it has a key icon next to it meaning it requires some kind of key (wireless network key?) [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] you bought your windows-box from the same place? sure they didn't set a password? [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] or was some kind of setup-disc included? [EoU] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] as soadkombucha said, you need that key they set and that you viewed in that software they gave you [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i will go look in the box....i do not know for sure since they did the setup for me [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] if that is the key it should work [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] though I also have sometimes issues here with my wireless router, sometimes he refuses the connection, especially with usb-wlan sticks I got [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] try entering it exactly and try connecting, maybe restart your wireless router and try again [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] it will try automatically a few times I think [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] what will try automatically? to connect? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] the network tray applet will try several times [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] you should see an icon in the upper panel [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i do not know what that is. is it the mechanism that trys to connect to the network? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I think it'S related to networkmanager, anyway, there you see the available wireless network and it will also notify when it is connected [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] ok i will try and then come back....i dont have access to two computers now...time to reboot to lucid...thanks ubutom... be back soon [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] could be that you have to change the input mask to hex key or something [EoT]

[0 days 00:41:00] [SoT] hello, so when logged on i saw a gray translucent box saying "Wireless Networks Available - Click on this icon to connect to an available network" (the icon looks like a bunch of spreading radio waves. i assume that is the Network Icon) [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] and have you entered that key you mentioned? [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] and did it work? [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] so I noticed that at the get go I am disconnected. so I click the Network Wireless Icon and a pop up window appears saying "Unlock Keyring" at first I thought I had to enter that 20 bit hex key... but eventually I realized that this window jsut wanted my Ubuntu password that I created during installation. After I entered that password I start up Firefox [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] not sure about that keyring thing, I don't use it [EoT]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] I turned off offline mode thinking that it would work but nothing...then i clicked the "Problem Loading Page " button and a pop-up came up saying "Wireless Network Authentication Required". This is the window that shows my ""Wireless Security: WPA & WPA2 Personal"" and below that it shows ""Password: (here i enter that 20bit hex key)"" [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] it takes a few seconds [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] is it normal for it to keep pulsing like that? it never stops for me [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] it does it for some seconds and then connects [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] ok because mine never stops that animation...makes sense since i can not connect...constantly it tries to connect [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] try restarting your wireless router, might work [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] so when i run System Monitor ...Network History is a dead flat line...no activity there [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] if its not connected thats no wonder [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] right [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] go to netwrok connections in system - settings and make the connection available for every user, so you won't need to enter a key for keyring anymore [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] as I said, also try restarting the router, sometimes they just refuse to connect, had that with some usb-sticks, sometimes I had to wait like 10 - 15 minutes until they finally decided to speak with each other again ;) [EoU]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] so i should unplug the router when ubuntu loads up? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] before or while ubuntu tries to establish the connection, yes, sometimes it helps [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i see. have you ever seen a problem like mine before where Ubuntu keeps trying to connect (constantly animated icon) ? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] as a matter of fact, yeah, I have, just 2 days ago with my laptop which had this usb-stick to connect ;) [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] so would say that my wireless card is healthy? i figure it is since it is seeing my wireless network [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] yep, 802.11g usb-stick [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] router was another brand, maybe devices from the same manufacturer work better together [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i see. so would you say this issue is a router issue only? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] could be, but there is also the chance it is because of the key, you might want to try to set up yourself another one [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] interesting idea....how would i go about doing that? is there a guide online? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I also experienced some problems when I just used a really, really long key consisting of characters and numbers, it just didn't work with that, so I used a short sentence and didn'T have that much problems then [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] I'm sure there are several guides out there, however, maybe you can also ask the people who sold you the hardware, sicne they have set it up [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] I think there are also some password-generators in the web [EoU] [0 days 00:03:00] [SoU] I'm not sure if the password was just wrong that I picked, or if it was too ling and the router couldn't handle it because of that :) [EoU]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] so it could be the password i have is not being processed? that is so bizarre [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] well, some hardware isn't what it claims to be... [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] and you are talking about my router? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] no, in general, just because hardware has a feature on paper doesn't mean it always can really perform it. [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] so i basically the simplest way to resolve this would be to contact my ISP and have them come and change the HEX key? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I don't know, could cost something, do you have a password for your routers web configuration? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i do not know what you mean by "routers web configuration". [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] can you maybe set another key with some windows-dial-in software or where that hex key is stored? [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] most routers can be accessed through an ip in your lan, via browser, there you can change passwords, security settings, turn firewall on and off and so on [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] like i said before, the ISP service people came over a year ago and just set the router up and i never got to see what they were doing...i could not have them communicate to me what they were doing...highly frustrating situation... i feel kind of powerless because of the language barrier [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] what do they speak? Sure they have some english speaking guys? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i understand what you mean....polish. i am in poland. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] no, you can access it yourself, if you have access to it that is [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] what do you mean? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] you could need a password to enter the web-configuration [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] did they not give you any manuals? [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] cant i just call them up and they can give it to me? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] sure, and what connermcd said [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] yeah i am going to have to get my lady to help me contact them to get my router username and passowrd [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] have you tried entering the passes the others suggested you? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] yes i did....tried "admin: admin" = didnt work [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yeah, there is on most routers a switch you need a sharp thing to press, a pen or a needle or anything else that fits in and press it a fey seconds [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] BUT, it will aslo erase the settings they did to get your connection to work [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] and if you don't have those you will have to let them set it up again for you [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] super good point! [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] didn't you get any paperwork from them? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i have a box...i will check it now [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I have my ISP number and password for dsl connection and everything in one place, would recommend that [EoT] [0 days 00:06:00] [SoU] and what about the details about your line? no number and password to use for ppp? [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] and please don't write it in the channel ;D [EoU]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] what line? my connection? i dont know what ppp is. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] so you have Wireless LAN Bridge maybe? [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] point to point protocol I think, it's how people connect with their Digital Subscriber Line, but sionce you have a roof-antenna... [EoU]

[0 days 00:03:00] [SoT] yes i think it would be a Wireless LAN Bridge [EoT]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] yeah, wanted to suggest that, maybe they can tell you how to setup the w-lan key in ubuntu , as it didn't work when you tried [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] then you should be able to set your own WPA2 key and try if it works then, you also have to set the new key then in windows [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] but maybe it will be easier to get some assistence on the wpa-key setting in ubuntu [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ok [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] they have to have some kind of admin who can guide you trhough the setup [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] well i jsut downlaoded a program called wirelesskeyview-x64 and reacquired the key and compared it to the one i had written a few months ago...it is the same one [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] and usually they are linux-savvy :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] the ISP people ? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yep [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] don't know that program and if that is correct what it says [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ahh ok. perhaps. but the language difference it a bit tough [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] ok, gotta go now, see ya and good luck, bye [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ok thanks a lot [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] in doubt try babelfish, lol :D [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] right.. better that way [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] or some polish friend who speaks english sluently [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ok i will consider [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] well, some progress there :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i'll say :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] have you tried setting a shorter password? Maybe this could help, without guarantee :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] no i am certain that is not the issue....my connection is rock solid with all my other internet apps [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] sudo /etc/init.d networking restart or something like that :) [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] but a reboot does the job also [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] thanks haha yes i just looked it up too [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] well, you're almost there :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] :) yeah its great [EOS]

[BOS] it doesnt if you are in /home or somesuch [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] it will only delete the whole system if your pwd is / [EoU]

[11 days 07:29:00] [SoT] All configuration for pretty much every program is kept in either /home/.programname (hidden files) Or in /etc/<something> [EoT]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] yeah but ive put the flash .so file in a billion folders but still get no flash [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] Maybe this helps?? http://forums.getswiftfox.com/viewtopic.php?t=72&sid=76489ad2f40dd7ed20d421103ece11bb [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] let me check [EoT] [197 days 23:23:00] [SoU] running fewer apps wont save battery [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] you can install a minimal ubuntu then just install firefox [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Well I think it will because I won't be wasting processor power on things like ssh servers and things. Right? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] you can also install xpud for a very minimal and fast booting system (less than 3 seconds) which has a very low set of hardware drivers and few apps [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] the cpu still runs the same [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] is xpud a distribution? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] its a distribution of linux, its not ubuntu based [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] Does running entirely from ram save battery? I imagine it would what with the power it takes to spin my HDD [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] theres also feather linux, damnsmall linux, puppy [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Thanks [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] xpud [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] arch or xpud? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] sure will, you can tell the drive to spindown [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Well like puppy for example runs entirely in ram (no HDD touching at all until you save files) [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes but autoclean means they will never mount up again [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] Knick-RDP o, yeah. But now apt is convinced those .deb files are "missing" [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] perhaps ;) [EoT]

[9 days 17:46:00] [SoT] steffan See what he said? ^^ [EoT]

[72 days 03:51:00] [SoT] will need sudo, users dont have write access to sources.list [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] True [EoT]

[0 days 00:03:00] [SoT] just sees if the packages are square [EoT] [44 days 17:45:00] [SoU] http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-enable-automati-logon-in-ubuntu-or-kubuntu.html [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] please read my questions more carefully. auto-login is working. Remembering my wifi password is not working. [EoT]
