[12:58] Trying to get an application to install, with no success. winecfg seems to be borked, too. [12:58] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13365/ Grey_Loki: hello. [01:10] Grey_Loki: I maybe have something for you [01:10] looping2, it would be absolutely spiffing if you did. [01:12] http://sidenet.ddo.jp/winetips/config.html I used the script provided there and managed to install an app that wouldn't have launched before. [01:13] give it a try and report. :) [01:13] It works on .9.22? [01:15] cyto@zombie:~$ wine --version [01:15] wine-0.9.33 [01:15] looping2, i'm not sure it would work at all. [01:15] it works for me. [01:15] I've tried using wine to launch an app I know works, and it didn't go [01:15] oh. [01:15] therefore, I can't help you [01:16] does your app launches and then freezes wine or something like that? [01:17] No, it doesn't seem to run at all [01:17] I mean, not even winecfg launches - it just kinda looks like it's gonna load the dialog box, and doesn't. [01:18] are you trying to install your app or just run it? [01:19] looping2, well, since nothing seems to run or install, both [01:20] This particular app, i'm trying to install, but the app I used to test, i'm trying to get it to run. [01:23] you should try the link I gave you. If it doesn't work, just delete the wine conf file and restore the old one (the script saves a backup of your configuration file) [01:24] Hmm. Just tried launching winecfg again, got some disk activity like it launched, and ps aux | grep wine shows winecfg.exe running. [01:26] was exactly the same for me before. [01:26] Hrm. Somewhat bizarrely, the winecfg dialog box has just popped up :S [01:30] Righto. Running that tool now - configuration only.

[05:16] Grey_Loki: the whole system [05:16] I'm keeping it as an extreme last resort - it'd be a real PITA to do at the moment, because I don't even have anywhere to store my /home folder's data. [05:18] Grey_Loki: maybe a lesson in the value of somewhere to backup? I'd guess it would take a lot less time than trying to fix this problem [05:19] grazie, i'm currently out and about visiting family with nowt but this laptop, and a complete system reinstall seems a bit drastic for what could quite possibly be a very simple problem. === alnoktaalt [n=alnokta@unaffiliated/alnokta] has joined #xubuntu === wist [n=noone@201-26-91-154.dsl.telesp.net.br] has joined #xubuntu [05:41] networkmanager how works under feisty ? === rag [n=rag@58.Red-80-24-33.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #xubuntu === dnb1997 [n=dnb1997@ip68-7-133-63.sd.sd.cox.net] has left #xubuntu [] === vidd [n=vidd@static-72-86-137-46.phlapa.east.verizon.net] has joined #xubuntu === johansalim [n=guest@ip84-222.cbn.net.id] has joined #xubuntu === ar3ac [n=ar3ac@host244-85-dynamic.5-87-r.retail.telecomitalia.it] has joined #xubuntu [06:08] hi there [06:09] is it planned to build a hwdb-client for xubuntu ? === alnokt0a [n=alnokta@unaffiliated/alnokta] has joined #xubuntu === sacater [n=sacater@105.245.131.213.static.inetbone.net] has joined #xubuntu === Rohinton [n=rkazak@inet-netcache2-o.oracle.com] has joined #xubuntu === rogerl^laptop [n=hacker@90-228-211-142-no78.tbcn.telia.com] has joined #xubuntu === posingaspopular [i=eddie@adsl-69-209-76-223.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net] has joined #xubuntu === devmapper [n=soumyadi@59.93.215.52] has joined #xubuntu === grazie [n=grazie@host86-139-192-210.range86-139.btcentralplus.com] has joined #xubuntu === johansalim [i=G3b0ys@ip84-222.cbn.net.id] has joined #xubuntu === _grazie [n=grazie@host86-139-192-210.range86-139.btcentralplus.com] has joined #xubuntu === _grazie [n=grazie@host86-139-192-210.range86-139.btcentralplus.com] has joined #xubuntu === _grazie is now known as grazie === tesuki [n=tesuki@c-f19be455.20-0145-74657210.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se] has joined #xubuntu === sparrw [n=kvirc@71.16.203.242] has left #xubuntu ["Time] === spasticteapot [n=joseph@66-188-130-15.dhcp.mdsn.wi.charter.com] has joined #xubuntu [07:56] Hello! === aussieman_ [n=bobo@115.Red-83-37-29.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #xubuntu [07:59] hi xubutus should i intasll the xubuntu feisty or edgy on a hp nx7300 laptop? === Mgccl [n=ubuntu@pool-141-155-21-173.ny325.east.verizon.net] has joined #xubuntu [07:59] Hmm...

(http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/03/upgrade-ubuntu-610-edgy-eft-to-ubuntu.html? [09:30] 2) How will this affect things like my chosen theme, stuff in my taskbar, etc? Is stuff likely to get messed up? [09:30] 3) If I do this now, what happens when the final release of 7.04 comes out? Will I just do a regular software update to get up to Release status? [09:31] maxamillion: help :) [09:32] 1) yes you can [09:32] 2) it should keep all current configurations (it did for me) [09:32] 3) yes, a regular software update will get you up to release status [09:32] Thanks for those answers. Very quick and to the point. :-) [09:33] limbert65: with #1, just make sure you point the repositories to feisty :) [09:33] So, it sounds like this has been a painless upgrade for people? [09:33] anytime ;) === alnokt0a is now known as alnokta [09:33] limbert65: yes, the only pain was the download time for the packages ;) [09:33] limbert65: I did a clean install but I have /home on a seperate partition === maxamillion will be doing a clean install on his home machine later in the week for testing purposes but did an upgrade on his work machine and everything went flawlessly [09:34] And regarding pointing those repositories, does that have to be done even using the GUI method (gksu update-manager -c -d)? [09:34] limbert65: do you have any non-repository installed applications? [09:34] maxamillion: do you know how to remove an unresponding desklet from the taskbar? [09:35] I think the only thing I've installed not from the repositories is Mozilla Sunbird, but that's all self-contained in its own folder.; [09:35] limbert65: i don't know about changing repos with the update manager ... i have been managing my packages from the command line for the better part of a decade and its a hard habbit to break, i edited my sources.list by hand [09:35] Can a wine-expert take a look at this log, please? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13727/ [09:35] hyper_ch: oooo, that's no good ... and no, i can't say that i do [09:35] limbert65: ok, then you should be fine [09:36] maxamillion: the weather desklet isn't working anymore... but I was able to add a new one that works fine... it's strange :) [09:36] fine meaning, shouldn't have to edit my /etc/apt/sources.list? Or should I still edit that manually first? [09:36] limbert65: i had a coulpe i installed from third party repositories and the upgrade yelled at me about unmet dependencies, but that took about 10 minutes to resolve [09:36] hyper_ch: that is a little odd [09:36] maxamillion: even after reboot it stayed unresponsive... [09:37] limbert65: if you know how to edit the sources.list you could do it that way :) [09:37] limbert65: the update-manager '-c' flag should do all that updating of the sources.list for you [09:37] And I would just replace every "edgy" with "feisty", basically? [09:37] limbert65: basically yes :) [09:38] Ok, one last one: I have used EasyUbuntu to install some codecs and drivers and stuff. Will that be a problem? [09:38] and then sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [09:38] I don't know how EasyUbuntu works [09:39] this could break the system [09:39] limbert65: yeah EasyUbuntu _might_ cause some problems ... kinda like Automatix [09:39] thats why I argue against using either one === maxamillion notes that this is among the many reasons why he recommends neither be used [09:39] what they do can also be done manually.. takes a bit more time but you learn a lot more [09:40] Ok, might want to wait on it then. When the full version comes out on the 19th, will an Upgrade button appear in the Update Manager, like it does in Ubuntu? [09:40] Or will the upgrade process be the same no matter when I decide to do it? [09:40] limbert65: it still may break your system because of easyubuntu [09:41] Hmm. [09:41] limbert65: what did you need EasyUbuntu for? [09:41] limbert65: yeah, the upgrade process should be the same now as it will be on the release date [09:41] It was just a slick easy way of installing a bunch of codecs and drivers that I had previously installed manually, individually. It worked perfectly. [09:42] limbert65: I did write myself a little install script that installs all the stuff I need... [09:42] limbert65: all I need to do it creating my sources.list, import the gpg keys [09:42] and then let the shell script do the work (except for skype and java which still require some user feedback) [09:42] I was under the impression that's all EasyUbuntu really was: a little script that found all the download sites and automated the process for you. [09:43] limbert65: as said, I don't know how easyubuntu works... automatix is likely to break your system in a dist-upgrade... but I can't tell for sure with EU === maxamillion notes that the ubuntu devel team will be including an easy way to install all the media codec as an official meta-package in feisty [09:43] codecs* [09:43] Ok, well thanks for all the good answers. I will do a little more checking before diving in. [09:44] (Or at least back up all my stuff first) ;-) [09:44] maxamillion: I use Seveas' repo for installing the codecs... I asked him whether it matters edgy/feisty and he said no and I didn't have any problem [09:44] limbert65: backups are always good :) [09:44] limbert65: do you have /home on a seperate partition? [09:44] hyper_ch, note that that only holds for w32codecs [09:44] no, I just did the default install. [09:45] Seveas: hmmm, ok, then the other codecs are from the feisty uni/multiverse repos :) [09:45] limbert65: just burn your home dir to a cd or dvd for safety (that's what i do when i am worried about losing data() [09:45] I usually copy it to an external drive. [09:46] maxamillion: if one dvd is enough :) [09:46] hyper_ch: its possible that aptitude installed the others automatically as "recommended" packages (if you use aptitude for package management) [09:46] hyper_ch: lol ... i don't have that much data ... normally a cd-r is more than enough space [09:46] limbert65: that works as well [09:47] limbert65: I'd adivce to put /home on a sepearte partition.... maybe if the upgrade from edgy to feisty breaks and you have to reinstall everything... then you may want to make it seperate :) === nekomancer [n=nekomanc@146.186.138.5] has joined #xubuntu [09:47] I haven't done that before. Do I just manually edit the partition table during the install and specify a /home partition as well as a / and swap? [09:48] limbert65, you don't need to, unless you want /home to be in a different partition [09:48] that's what I mean: if I want /home on a different partition. [09:49] limbert65, that should work. it isn't hard === maxamillion re-installs way too often to bother with anything other than the default "click next to accept partition scheme" [09:49] and i'm reallllly lazy [09:49] Me too. [09:49] bah [09:49] Not too much trouble to just copy my documents, then replace them after reinstall. [09:49] it's easy [09:49] maxamillion: here's my sources and install script... makes re-install really quick: http://phpfi.com/223027 [09:50] limbert65: i will say that nekomancer and hyper_ch are correct in saying that having the /home as a different partition is a good idea .... i'm just lazy [09:50] hyper_ch: change those first two commands to aptitude so it all matches ;) [09:51] hyper_ch: but that's pretty slick, i like it [09:51] hyper_ch, correct me if i am wrong, but don't you need an aptitude upadate before running all thoes aptitude fetches? [09:51] and yes, thoes scripts are nice [09:51] limbert65: it's not really difficult... just make sure you select the correct partitions :) "/" (root) should be about 10GB, "swap" about double of your ram and make the rest "/home" [09:51] maxamillion: yeah, you're right.. need to change that :) [09:51] nekomancer: i think all the update does is updates the apt-cache which i believe both apt-get and aptitude reference [09:52] add the nessary stuff to add that sources list to your file automaticly. not too hard [09:52] nekomancer: well, it is important first to update the installed libs and then fetch the others :) it makes sense [09:52] hyper_ch: i think he was commenting on using apt-get instead of aptitude for the update [09:52] hyper_ch, i aggree [09:52] the fact that you were* [09:52] oh, yeah :) I need to change that [09:53] ;) [09:53] as said, Java and Skype still need some user input, hence they are on top [09:53] noooo!!!!! my netradio just died === maxamillion slaps xmms [09:54] and I just put the stuff in there that I will install for sure :) [09:54] http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/n/p/npl108/setup_script, changed some, is what i use to update a new install. [09:55] nekomancer: ok, I could auto-add the repos also :) === ron_o [n=ron@12-210-175-113.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu [09:55] you use automatix? ^^ [09:56] my flash is touchy otherwise [09:56] what's blobwars?

[09:59] running my script :) [09:59] or did you mean still on windows? [09:59] on windows it took that long [09:59] here it goes way faster [09:59] install is done faster [09:59] and software isntall is done a lot faster either [09:59] and configs remain [10:00] that they do. [10:01] and my mom uses Linux meanwhile too :) [10:01] but I installed her a kubuntu [10:01] i'm thinking of copying my main config files, ie x.conff (something like that) onto a website and just wget them.

Microsoft responds by saying that the differences have been promoted with one of the most extensive marketing pushes in company history. 'In sum, Microsoft engaged in bait and switch -- [10:05] assuring consumers they were purchasing Vista Capable machines when, in fact, they could obtain only a stripped-down operating system lacking the functionality and features that Microsoft advertised as Vista ...
