[02:38] <ircuser> How can I convert many text files to PDF at once ( into a single PDF document or one PDF file for one text file) ? I've got some 200 separate text files I need to print to PDF.
[02:42] <HenryKirk_> this is a test, just checking if all is working....Hello
[02:42] <pedro3005> ircuser, you could first make them all one txt file and then transform that to a pdf
[02:43] <pedro3005> cat *.txt > bigfile
[02:43] <pedro3005> i think that works
[02:44] <ircuser> pedro3005: thanks..trying
[02:46] <ircuser> pedro3005: is there any way i can put something like a [02:46] <pedro3005> ircuser, hm, don't know then
[02:47] <ircuser> pedro3005: anyway thanks a lot.....
[02:47] <pedro3005> ircuser, np
[02:47] <pedro3005> HenryKirk_, hello
[02:47] <HenryKirk_> hi pedro
[02:48] <ircuser> pedro3005: however, what command can i use to print a tet file to PDF so that i can use like " <command> *.* "?
[02:49] <pedro3005> ircuser, you have to use a pdf converter
[02:49] <pedro3005> PDF isn't plain text
[02:49] <pedro3005> HenryKirk_, what were you testing?
[02:50] <ircuser> pedro3005: yes..thnks
[02:50] <HenryKirk_> only that the irc connection is actually working, now that it is, I proceed to joining a ubuntu test group
[08:24] <mongoosedog> hey guy i've downloaded  an extract thunderbid, as i can't get evolution to work, anyone know how to get it to run?
[08:25] <pleia2> mongoosedog: how did you download it? through the package manager?
[08:25] <mongoosedog> no off the site, and i got the linux version
[08:26] <pleia2> ok, in Ubuntu you'll actually want to download it with the package manager, not by downloading it from the website
[08:26] <mongoosedog> ok which package there are heaps
[08:26] <pleia2> you can open the software center
[08:27] <pleia2> search for thunderbird
[08:28] <mongoosedog> got it
[08:28] <mongoosedog> din't pop up last time
[08:28] <pleia2> :)
[08:28] <pleia2> ok, once you install it through the software center it'll show up under applications > internet
[08:30] <mongoosedog> thank you
[08:31] <pleia2> you're welcome
[08:33] <mongoosedog> hmmm, same problem here too
[08:34] <pleia2> same problem?
[08:34] <mongoosedog> my password that works for the webbased email, won't work on the thunderbird or evolution
[08:35] <mongoosedog> and the web based thing is horrible
[08:35] <pleia2> does the email server support pop or imap?
[08:36] <mongoosedog> pop
[08:36] <pleia2> what kind of error do you get?
[08:36] <mongoosedog> bad login
[08:36] <mongoosedog> after i type my oassword
[08:36] <pleia2> might want to ask your email provider what username you need to use in order to use a client
[08:38] <mongoosedog> yeah i might call them i had it working back on vista, oh well thanks anyway
[08:38]  * pleia2 nods

[14:46] <leoquant> AJHunter is this a login plugin?
[14:47] <AJHunter> no, it's the actual chat
[14:47] <leoquant> ah ok
[14:48] <leoquant> strange asking bout your birthday, it is done in your account, looks like a bug to me
[14:48] <leoquant> does pidgin come with this plugin?
[14:48] <AJHunter> no
[14:50] <AJHunter> sorry... I accidentally closed pidgin... :-[
[14:52] <leoquant> : http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/wiki/FAQ
[14:52] <leoquant> looks like a bug
[14:52] <leoquant> no answers/solutions there

[18:15] <ShadowKnight> hi, i had a quick question. i wanted to download Amarok for ubuntu but the only thing i see is either debian or kubuntu. which one do i download? or is there another music player that is able to add music to an itouch?
[18:15] <pedro3005> ShadowKnight, are you on ubuntu right now?
[18:15] <ShadowKnight> yes i am
[18:16] <pedro3005> ShadowKnight, Click Applications then click Ubuntu Software Center please
[18:16] <ShadowKnight> k i did it
[18:16] <pedro3005> On the search box type amarok
[18:16] <pedro3005> Select Amarok and press the arrow next to it
[18:16] <pedro3005> Scroll down and click Install
[18:16] <ShadowKnight> oh okay now it comes up. so i just press the arrow and install it?
[18:16] <pedro3005> You're done ;)
[18:17] <ShadowKnight> thank you soooo much :D lol. is this the best music player? im new to ubuntu so im trying to get the necessary software that i would need for my daily uses lol
[18:17] <pedro3005> ShadowKnight, yes. the ubuntu software center have thousands of good software this way, and you'll be downloading directly from their servers, no security risk or anything
[18:18] <ShadowKnight> oh okay, so i never download from websites, i just go there?
[18:18] <pedro3005> ShadowKnight, if it is there, it's recommended you install it from there
[18:18] <pedro3005> and normally, it WILL be there
[18:18] <ShadowKnight> hmmm okay then thats good to know then :)
[18:18] <pedro3005> Sometimes it's not there but you can download a .deb file. That is good too, just double click the file and click install
[18:19] <pedro3005> ShadowKnight, but many software you download manually for linux is just code that you have to compile, which is complicated for beginners and can generate a load of problems. So always use one of these two preferred methods and avoid compiling anything
[18:20] <ShadowKnight> oh okay then thank you for that. ill be sure to do those two methods only until i understand this
[18:20] <pedro3005> ShadowKnight, now, about players, there are many, you just have to see which you like best. There is Rhythmbox, which comes with ubuntu, there is Banshee, there is Amarok and others. All of these you can find on the Software Center.
[18:20] <ShadowKnight> okay ill look into all of them :) thank you so much :)
[18:21] <pedro3005> ShadowKnight, no problem. come back anytime
[19:09] <jdeloach> I have a problem with my DVI-to-VGA converter. Can someone help me? It's like the graphics card wont do it, as I have another graphics card that does it fine.
[20:17] <Phrea> jdeloach: dvi is backwards compatible with vga via such a convertor, so I dont think it's the convertor itself that's at fault [unless it's just broken somehow]
[21:21] <Kevinswenson> Hey, does anyone know how to create a group in terminal?
[21:40] <drubin> well that wasn't fair giving us only 3mins to answer
[21:41] <pedro3005> drubin, I have answered him 'groupadd' lots of times
[21:41] <pedro3005> but it's for a homework assignment and I wouldn't spoon feed the answer for him (told him to look at the man page)
[21:46] <Kevinswenson> anyone on?
[21:47] <Phrea> [22:41:05]<pedro3005> drubin, I have answered him 'groupadd' lots of times
[21:47] <stlsaint> Kevinswenson: yes
[21:48] <Kevinswenson> i still dont get it!
[21:49] <nigelb> Kevinswenson: if its for a homework assignment, I would prefer that you learn than us spoonfeeding you the answer
[21:49] <stlsaint> Kevinswenson: look at man page
[21:50] <stlsaint> or not it seems...
[21:51] <Kevinswenson> sorry trying to figure it out
[21:51] <stlsaint> Kevinswenson: trash the man page idea...sorry was trying to give resources
[21:59] <drubin> nigelb: you can word that in a nicer way. Simply ask where he gets stuck and point him in the right direction
[22:00] <nigelb> drubin: Didn't mean to be rude.
[22:00] <drubin> nigelb: you weren't :)
[23:42] <Jesse1984> Hi All, im a Linux n00b, and im trying to get my ATI graphics card on my laptop working, its a HP 8530p Core2 T9600, 4GB DDR2, 15.4 1680x1050 Widescreen display and mobility Radeon HD 3650. I have installed Karmic and it was running ok with full res to begin with but laptop was getting really hot, i have read in different forums that the proprietary ATI driver fixes the overheating, so i have been trying to get it working, fi
[23:42] <Jesse1984> rstly i used the hardware update tool GUI from within Karmic, rebooted, had a black screen, went into recovery mode, tried a heap of things nothing worked then found this command which sort of reset things i guess and allowed me to boot in with low vga mode : sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx, then: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg -so from there i went here http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installa
[23:42] <Jesse1984> tion_Guide and followed the guide to install the prorietory driver manually by building the package, which all went through ok, then a black screen on reboot - now when i log into recovery mode my keyboard doesnt work (which was also happening the first time i went to recovery mode but some how i got lucky and kept rebooting then the keyboard started working last time, this time its not working again)... sorry for the massive
[23:42] <Jesse1984>  amount of info.. hope someone can help???
[23:43] <celthunder> woah
[23:43] <celthunder> give us a sec to read all that :)
[23:43] <Jesse1984> :) thx
[23:44] <celthunder> well
[23:44] <celthunder> you basically forced yourself into 16 bit mode
[23:44] <celthunder> and completely removed ati drivers
[23:45] <Jesse1984> yes...
[23:46] <celthunder> so what do you want us to do?
[23:46] <celthunder> you could get back in to where you originally first started by installing the open source ati drivers again
[23:47] <Jesse1984> just any pointers on where to go from here would be great :)
[23:47] <Jesse1984> yes, but the laptop was getting really hot, have you heard that withough the proprietary drivers laptops can overheat ?
