PorkSodaHeY all! I have probably touched on this subject several times but I would like to get some input on how ISO files work. Another words if the file is on a CDRW how does it boot up on the computer? Is it supposed to open up like a regular file?01:23
PorkSodahey charlie I think you remember me asking?01:25
MoocherHey guys01:31
MoocherWow no response eh?01:35
zerothis./configure "error: could not detect required GTK >= 2.4". how do i fix this? I think I need the gtk development libraries, how do I get those?01:35

charlie-tcaMoocher, you just have to ask your questions, it might take us a while to answer01:55
charlie-tcaPorkSoda: I don't know the answer01:55
reyreyim using an old Sharp laptop that doesn't have nvidia so a program that has generic basic drivers should be good..01:56

PorkSodacharlie do you use windows?02:00
charlie-tcaNo, I don't even have a copy02:00
PorkSodaoh ok I was gonna ask you if you know of a good program to burn iso files02:00
charlie-tcaNere02:00
charlie-tcaNero02:01
PorkSodaI was using nero02:01
PorkSodaI have issues with the file02:01
charlie-tcaShould have a selection to burn image02:01
charlie-tcaWhat kind of issues02:01
PorkSodawell it won't open up on my drive when I put the cdrw there it doesn't do nothing02:02
jo4i was tryng to install xlockmore, but it says there's no instalation candidate, has the package been removed from the repos??02:02
PorkSodaI can't even explore through it02:02
jo4no, wait... wrong box ;D02:02
PorkSodabrb charlie02:02
jo4nvm, the ubuntu repos had it ;D *feel stupid*02:03
charlie-tcaSounds like a problem with the program, PorkSoda02:03
charlie-tcajo4: no problem, we all do it02:03
jo4;D02:03
charlie-tcaHave you got any cd-r you could try? or maybe a different brand02:04
PorkSodait burned successfully didn't get any errors but that doesn't mean anything02:05
reyreyjust to be lazy i guess.. isn't there a deb to install or a terminal command ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo02:05
charlie-tcaAll I know is what the wiki tells us, reyrey02:06
PorkSodaI have cdrws so I wouldn't have to waist any02:06
PorkSodacdrs02:06
charlie-tcaPorkSoda: Did the "Check this cd for defects" pass?02:07
reyreybummer.. i would of thought somethign like this would be simple.. i mean you plug up via vga an external monitor and ubuntu should automatically work..02:07
PorkSodau think another program might program might work02:08
charlie-tcaMost of the time, plugging in the monitor does just work. sometimes it takes a little more.02:08
PorkSodayeah02:08
charlie-tcaIt's possible, PorkSoda. There was a program we used to ship with Dell, back in 1999/200002:09
PorkSodacharlie wait I am not sure if I checked that box in nero02:09
charlie-tcathat worked well. Now if I could remember the name.02:09
charlie-tcaWon't work if you didn't check "burn image"02:10
PorkSodahmmm I may need to go back and check02:11
PorkSodaso you can't remember the name of the program?02:11

wormsxullathe last package for pidgin in the repository is 2.2.1 but i need 2.5.1 which solves a connection problem. can i install it from the pidgin website without breaking things? i'm a bit of a newbie with xubuntu13:03
vinnlwormsxulla, it appears to be down atm, but I think a package is available on http://www.getdeb.net/13:13
wormsxullayes, pidgin.im is down. so it won't be a problem to install a newer version than the repo, then? (thanks for the url)13:14
vinnlPidgin.im down? xD I was referring to GetDeb :P13:15
vinnlBut installing with the package should be safe, not sure about compiling from source13:15
wormsxullai think the whole internet is down, i can't even login to yahoo :-(13:16
wormsxullahuh, i don't know about compiling13:16
vinnl:P13:16
vinnlwormsxulla, well, mostly if you download a Linux application it's not a prepared package which you can just double-click to install13:16
wormsxullayes :-(13:17
vinnlBut since newer versions aren't automatically installed, GetDeb creates packages for the newer versions of popular applications13:19
vinnlAnd IIRC Pidgin was one of them13:19
wormsxullathat's cool13:21

Stephane25Hello. I tried to switch from windows to Ubuntu. I have an older version of Ubuntu (5.04) (I know it's funny) Now. I wanted to upgrade to 8.04. I burned the iso on a cd, it works. I went to the first screen. My keybord works because I can change all the options with F1, F2, F3 and F4 and change the options with the up and down arrow. I can also push enter on the Boot with first disk option. But, I cannot push enter on the Install ubuntu option. How can I 18:14
DFlameyou're telling the installer to use the entire hard disk (guided) right?18:16
Stephane25Yes.18:16
Stephane25I want to install Ubuntu 8.04 on my hard disk and erase everything else.18:16
Stephane25But I can't with the regular menu, well the first you see when you boot with the cd.18:17
DFlameis the drive big enough to take the install, or have you missed a check-box somewhere? (I partition manually)18:17
Stephane25Well, I have a 40GB hard disk.18:18
DFlamecould walk you through a manually partitioned install if you like, and that sounds large enough for sure18:18
Stephane25Well, I could, but there is no information (well precise information) on how to install ubuntu from a 5.04 version to a 8.04.18:18
Stephane25I have a question about booting.18:19
DFlameyeah, thats a pretty old one you have there :P. If you have access to the computer now and the disc for 8.04 handy i wouldnt mind going step by step through it with you18:19
Stephane25Great18:20
DFlamecan install it on a virtual machine here to keep up :)18:20
Stephane25You mean, you can dot it step by step without installing it? only explanations?18:20
DFlameits hard to explain, but i can see the installer screens here and walk you through18:21
Stephane25DFlame can I PM you?18:22

l337ingDisorderhey folks, I've been put in charge of creating a firefox-only web kiosk - no ability to log out, no ability to install programs, no ability to access any system applets like the Network manager, etc - basically just turn the computer on and have it boot to firefox. I figure starting with xubuntu would be a good start, and I'm guessing the smart plan is to get the system installed and...18:27
l337ingDisorder...configured then just use remastersys to build a distributable copy but is there any kind of documentation as to how to strip gnome down so that there isn't any kind of UI, and is there any way to make it so a user can't log out, restart, or access anything in the system -> administration or system -> profiles menus?18:27
TheSheepl337ingDisorder: google for 'xfce kiosk'18:33
TheSheepl337ingDisorder: and xubuntu doesn't use gnome18:33
l337ingDisorderhmmm it says on the xubuntu page on ubuntu.com that it uses a stripped-down gnome18:56
vinnlWhere?18:56
l337ingDisorderin any case thanks for the xfce kiosk suggestion - i'll look into that :)18:57
l337ingDisordervinnl: my mistake, misread it.. http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/xubuntu says "It is intended for users with less-powerful computers, or those that require a highly efficient desktop environment on faster systems. Xubuntu features primarily GNOME applications. "18:58
l337ingDisorderI interpreted that to mean it runs on gnome but it in fact states one phrase earlier that it runs on xfce18:58
vinnlAh :)18:59
krylyxgod i'm having so much problems using eclipse :(19:32
