| crlcan81 | Hi everybody, I just was wondering how much of a difference goign from win xp to ubuntu was gonna be like. And waht all I gotta do to get it installed on my system. Also is it possible to dual boot with it and xp. | 12:21 |
|---|---|---|
| crlcan81 | also, no CD burner. | 12:22 |
| crlcan81 | so gotta find some way to run the ISO without a CD | 12:22 |
| crlcan81 | anyone able to help? | 12:22 |
| crlcan81 | *sighs* guess not | 12:23 |
| Nafallo | !help | 12:24 |
| ubotu | I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 12:24 |
| Nafallo | hmm | 12:24 |
| Nafallo | no | 12:24 |
| Nafallo | crlcan81: the help channel you are looking for is probably #ubuntu :-) | 12:24 |
| crlcan81 | well I just.. I really don't trust linux ever since Mandrake I think it was. | 12:25 |
| crlcan81 | I got the ONE version you didn't wanna get. | 12:25 |
| crlcan81 | Which my local walmart only had THAT. | 12:25 |
| crlcan81 | still downloading the ISO though. | 12:25 |
| andreasn | mpt: ping | 13:39 |
| Keybuk | interesting | 14:25 |
| Keybuk | hadn't noticed we use rhythmbox for cd extraction | 14:25 |
| Keybuk | (I think I did know, but hadn't actually seen it to really know :p) | 14:25 |
| Amaranth | rhythmbox can do that now? | 14:28 |
| bhale | used to be sound-juicer | 14:30 |
| Keybuk | yup | 14:43 |
| Keybuk | actually, the experience is very nice | 14:43 |
| Keybuk | having one app for managing music, burning to cd, ripping from cd, copying to/from music players, etc. feels right | 14:44 |
| Keybuk | I have a niggle that it's awkward to fix a CD that doesn't have a CDDB entry | 14:44 |
| Keybuk | and that it's awkward to deal with compilation CDs (but SJ has that issue too) | 14:44 |
| Keybuk | it's great though that I can rip from CD into Ogg for the library | 14:55 |
| Keybuk | and then drag them onto my phone, which converts them to MP3 automatically | 14:55 |
| Keybuk | and it's even cooler when I know how little code that takes | 14:55 |
| Keybuk | (well, little code for the app - gstreamer rocks) | 14:55 |
| * Ng looks for an officially correct way for a user to install a font | 15:56 | |
| Ng | gnome 2.22's user guide lists two options, neither of which work | 15:56 |
| Ng | and that user guide seems to be what we have in System->Help | 15:57 |
| Ng | it says use System->Preferences->Font (which we don't have, but even the Fonts bit of Appearance doesn't have the "Go to font folder" button they reference), and gvfs doesn't support fonts:/// | 15:58 |
| ofh | helo someone here ? | 16:03 |
| ofh | have a prob with firefox plugin | 16:03 |
| ofh | can't install as a non-root user | 16:04 |
| ofh | anny advise | 16:04 |
| mpt | andreasn, ponggggg | 16:10 |
| andreasn | hey | 16:10 |
| andreasn | there was a dude in #tango that asked for advice on the nautilus copy dialog, but I pointed him to usability list | 16:11 |
| mpt | andreasn, do you mean the progress window, or the name conflict alert? | 16:15 |
| andreasn | the progress window | 16:16 |
| mpt | ooh interesting | 16:16 |
| andreasn | File operations dialog redesign | 16:16 |
| andreasn | is the header of the e-mail | 16:17 |
| mpt | yes, reading it :-) | 16:19 |
| mpt | thanks | 16:19 |
| mpt | Why did it change? | 16:21 |
| andreasn | from what was in 2.20? | 16:22 |
| andreasn | someone decided it popped up too many dialogs when you copied two or more things at a time | 16:22 |
| mpt | oh, because it's stacked | 16:23 |
| mpt | good good | 16:23 |
| andreasn | the notification area thingy is a bit weird though | 16:23 |
| mpt | notification area thingy? | 16:23 |
| mpt | oh! | 16:24 |
| mpt | yeah, that's a bit bong | 16:24 |
| mpt | it does nothing minimize couldn't do | 16:24 |
| mpt | Oh, I know why it's there | 16:24 |
| mpt | It's because _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE doesn't have a "progress window" type | 16:26 |
| mpt | therefore progress windows get a close button when they shouldn't | 16:26 |
| mpt | and if you close it, how are you going to reopen it again? | 16:26 |
| mpt | by clicking the notification area mcguffin | 16:26 |
| andreasn | hm? you can do that? | 16:28 |
| andreasn | sounds really weird | 16:28 |
| mpt | so basically the new window does what's suggested in the "Tiling windows" section of <http://www.mackido.com/Interface/Copy.html> | 16:28 |
| mpt | yeah, it is really weird :-) | 16:28 |
| mpt | (the notification area thing, I mean, not the combining) | 16:28 |
| andreasn | yeah | 16:29 |
| calc | Ng: for a local user only copy into ~/.fonts | 16:30 |
| calc | Ng: then run fc-cache | 16:30 |
| calc | Ng: that is the non-gui way | 16:30 |
| calc | Ng: aiui fonts: is broken due to conversion to gvfs, probably will be fixed in next gnome release | 16:30 |
| calc | Ng: probably worth filing a bug against the appropriate thing in launchpad though if it isn't there already | 16:31 |
| * calc bbl | 16:31 | |
| calc | Ng: or pinging seb128 about it at some point | 16:32 |
| andreasn | mpt: nice work on the User Experince stuff in the ubuntu wiki btw | 16:44 |
| mpt | thanks | 16:45 |
| Ng | calc: .fonts is what I would have done. i think we should have a better way to do this | 16:51 |
| Ng | even fonts:// is hideously undiscoverable | 16:51 |
| Ng | gnome-font-viewer and right clicking on a ttf in nautilus should both offer a user install | 16:52 |
| Ng | imho :) | 16:52 |
| slomo__ | hm, update-manager doesn't allow dist upgrades from feisty to hardy but only from gutsy/dapper to hardy? | 18:43 |
| Nafallo | slomo__: should be right | 18:47 |
| slomo__ | doesn't make things easy here... gutsy doesn't boot ;) | 18:48 |
| Nafallo | slomo__: you now how you can work around it if needed. | 19:03 |
| slomo__ | Nafallo: yes, how? :) | 19:04 |
| Nafallo | slomo__: you are not the slomo I know :-P | 19:04 |
| slomo__ | i don't want to think about it or look into code or use s/feisty/hardy/ on sources.list and call apt-get dist-upgrade ;) | 19:05 |
| Nafallo | slomo__: hehe. the last one was the solution indeed ;-) | 19:31 |
