[07:41] <takeout> hey, any of you guys know about installing windows 7/vista after a multiboot system is already setup?
[07:41] <TheSheep> you will have to boot from livecd and fix grub
[07:42] <takeout> i'm not using grub
[07:42] <TheSheep> because windows overwrites it
[07:42] <TheSheep> then no idea, try on #windows
[07:42] <takeout> i mean i am, but its installed to a separate boot

[12:24] <andrey__> hey people ! i cant install webcam in Lenovo 3000 n100,  , i have ubuntu 9.04
[14:32] <homebrewcider> Trying to install a program, did ./configure already got this message when "make" <make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.> can someone please tell me what I did wrong? I followed the install instuctions
[14:33] <Sysi> you couldn't find program from repositories?
[14:33] <homebrewcider> thinks that is an older package
[14:33] <homebrewcider> trying to do that bnow
[14:34] <homebrewcider> but should /lib/var/dpkg locked is another program using it? error
[14:35] <Sysi> some other program also uses dpkg?
[16:28] <ideamonk_> anyone runs xubuntu over old P3 256mb rams ?
[16:31] <ldez1> I run it on a laptop that has a P4 and 256mb ram
[16:37] <Sysi> i had celeron 2.4ghz and 256mb, and eeepc with 900mhz and 512mb
[16:38] <ldez1> ideamonk_: Why, what's up?
[16:38] <ideamonk_> ldez1, am confused over what to put in an old p3 box
[16:39] <ideamonk_> ubuntu 7.10 works pretty slow
[16:39] <ideamonk_> how good is xubuntu compared to ubuntu, much faster or just slight improvements ?
[16:39] <Sysi> works lot better with 256mb
[16:39] <ldez1> Yeah, xubuntu is definitely a solid choice.. You can start out by trying 9.04, but that might run a bit slow for ya.. If it isn't running great, then you could downgrade to 8.10 or 7.10
[16:39] <ldez1> It's quite a bit more light weight
[16:40] <ideamonk_> and can I put xubuntu over previous ubuntu install and remove gnome from it ?
[16:40] <Sysi> 512mb is minimum for gnome, i think xubuntu would do 128mb
[16:40] <Sysi> yes
[16:41] <ideamonk_> Woah then I guess I'm really being cruel to that old box by running gnome... thanks
[16:42] <Sysi> well, it propably runs but propably not comfortably
[16:42] <ldez1> Hehe, I did the same thing on my dad's old laptop I was restoring for him.. Put Ubuntu 9.04 on there and it was not a pretty situation.
[16:42] <ldez1> Switched him over to Xubuntu and it's running just a ton better now.
[16:43] <Sysi> from XP to ubuntu was huge change even with 512mb
[16:43] <ideamonk_> guys what does one mean by saying something like, Ubuntu xyz would be supported till Apr 2010
[16:44] <ideamonk_> does it mean that I won't be able to apt-get after Apr 2010 ?
[16:44] <Sysi> yes
[16:44] <ldez1> I think that refers to security updates and such
[16:44] <Sysi> after that repositories are closed
[16:44] <ldez1> Ah, repositories as well? Good to know.
[16:44] <ideamonk_> hmm
[17:19] <DizzyD> Wow do I feel behind :S
[17:19] <DizzyD> Could I possibly be the only one still running feisty fawn?
[17:22] <mthorn> What's the best way to install the gnome global menu applet in xubuntu without installing gnome?
[17:24] <mthorn> I'm running 8.10
[17:25] <DizzyD> mthorn, do you know how to upgrade from feisty to 8.10?
[17:26] <mthorn> DizzyD: erm, can't you just do a dist-upgrade?
[17:26] <mthorn> well, several of them anyway
[17:26] <mthorn> feisty all the way to intrepid, I'd probably just do a clean install.
[17:28] <DizzyD> well every time I try to upgrade to 7.10 via update manager I get "Could not find the release notes"
[17:29] <mthorn> hm. I'd strongly recommend a clean install. It'd take forever to download
[17:31] <Sysi> sometimes clean install is easiest solution
[17:31] <DizzyD> Yikes. I just didn't want to lose everything
[17:31] <Sysi> take backup
[17:31] <Sysi> or make separated /home partition
[17:33] <mthorn> I'm not sure what you think you're going to lose
[17:34] <mthorn> as Sysi said, backup your stuff, nothing is lost.
[17:35] <Sysi> if you just "use entire drive" of course all data is erased
[17:35] <Sysi> if you only have one partition
[18:37] <max82fr> HI people
[18:37] <max82fr> I am trying to install a pc cd rom on my ubuntu
[18:37] <max82fr> I have tried with WINE
[18:38] <max82fr> the installation starts but then crashes at the end  when dll files are involved
[18:38] <max82fr> Can anyone help please???
[18:40] <ldez1> max82fr, what is it you are trying to install?
[18:40] <max82fr> a driving test pc cd rom
[18:41] <ldez1> A lot of software can be pretty fussy with running through wine.. Have you tried googling and seeing if other people have tried installing that exact program with wine?
[18:42] <max82fr> no but it says it needs Microsoft.net framework to run
[18:44] <max82fr> can u help please
[18:44] <max82fr> ??
[18:44] <ldez1> Check this out.. http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page
[18:46] <ldez1> I guess it's available through synaptic also, but I'm not sure if that will solve your problem.. but it's worth a try I suppose..
[19:04] <mthorn> Does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to install the gnome global menu on xubuntu 8.10?
[19:59] <takeout> i'm trying to use javascript with php but i'm running into trouble passing data between the two.
[20:00] <takeout> i dont know much about developing, so is this a good idea and are there reliable safe ways to do this?
[20:00] <takeout> i understand they both run on different sides of the server
[20:39] <S0210> How are the file names generated in the .thumbnails/normal directory?
[20:48] <mthorn> I'm running 8.10 and am trying to get the gnome global menu applet to work nicely with xfce4-panel
[20:48] <mthorn> I've got the gnome applet running, but it doesn't seem to expand properly, so all the menu options end up in a drop down rather than expanding the panel applet's area.
[20:49] <mthorn> Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix the width of the applet so it always has enough room?
[20:58] <churro> .
