| nomadhacker | hello there. Having some issues with booting windows 7 along with Ubuntu. It's loading grub just fine, and Ubuntu loads, but when I choose the Windows 7 option, the loading splash for windows shows, then suddenly reboots. | 02:36 |
| nomadhacker | It seems to be specific to Ubuntu's grub. I had tried 9.10 and had the issue continuously, so I installed fedora and no problems. Now I've installed 10.04, and it worked at first, but now suddenly I'm back to windows rebooting on startup. | 02:38 |
| nomadhacker | tried repairing windows boot with bootrec /fixboot, to no result | 02:39 |
| nomadhacker | obviously don't want to fixmbr | 02:39 |
| mohi1 | nomadhacker, you done anything in the boot menu? i mean grub file(grub.cfg)?? | 02:44 |
| nomadhacker | I had made windows the default with 5 second timeout. It had been working until just today. | 02:44 |
| mohi1 | you have the backup of your grub.cfg?? | 02:46 |
| nomadhacker | nope. | 02:46 |
| nomadhacker | It had been working for the last week or so since I installed 10.04 with windows as the default. | 02:47 |
| === mohi1 is now known as mohi_away | ||
| nomadhacker | Thanks to mohi! Just rebooted into Windows. | 03:09 |

| smee2 | hi | 06:49 |
| smee2 | after learning some basics on linux, like getting around the os and learning some basic commands, what topic would you suggest I look into next | 06:52 |
| smee2 | i followed some tutorials, but they started getting into networks and servers, which i know nothing about. i thought i should put that on hold for a while | 06:53 |
| paultag | nhandler, is there a channel mode +u ? | 07:33 |
| tenach | Bodsda, ping | 08:39 |
| st4aluck | lukjad86: I went to the shop and it'll cost me 7 euro to install the software :)))) | 09:53 |

| pedro3005 | st4aluck, that is good | 10:16 |
| st4aluck | pedro3005: Idon't know if it is possible to pre-install the software on the router by myselfe!?!? | 10:17 |
| pedro3005 | st4aluck, neither do I | 10:18 |
| st4aluck | pedro3005: the only access to it is trough firefox, but if the build in DNS is fucked you can't access it | 10:20 |
| st4aluck | pedro3005: my sister gave it to me. She said she bought new because this doesn't work.:::))) It's 77 euro:) | 10:23 |

| ibuclaw | st4aluck, what's the specs? | 11:01 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: what do you mean? | 11:03 |
| ibuclaw | motherboard, manufacturer. :) | 11:03 |
| ibuclaw | or simply the desktop/laptop name | 11:03 |
| ibuclaw | oh, wait, just read your post | 11:04 |
| st4aluck | Thoshiba A205-4567S | 11:04 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, does it boot / work properly if you boot from Battery? | 11:04 |
| ibuclaw | that is *not* connected to AC | 11:05 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: it work properly only on 8.04 | 11:05 |
| st4aluck | I said that I made test with live CD of Knoppix and Hardy | 11:06 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: On Knoppix loads and freezes but Hardy no prb | 11:07 |
| ibuclaw | mkay | 11:10 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, are you on the affected system now? | 11:12 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: yes, but I can change to another hard drive | 11:15 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: ....and install on it what ever you tell me | 11:15 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, nah, just need to test 2 things | 11:16 |
| st4aluck | ok | 11:16 |
| ibuclaw | if you open a terminal :) | 11:16 |
| ibuclaw | firstly, fake that you are switching to battery. | 11:16 |
| ibuclaw | sudo acpi_fakekey 236 | 11:17 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, if all is fine afterwards, then test powersave. | 11:17 |
| st4aluck | wait | 11:17 |
| ibuclaw | sudo pm-powersave true | 11:17 |
| ibuclaw | if your system is still running, can mostly rule out acpi. | 11:18 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: shall I turn on battery now? | 11:20 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, nah, those tests were just to see if it's a userspace issue. (the interface above the kernel). | 11:21 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: so? | 11:22 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: it's not | 11:23 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, open up grub configuration and add "noacpi" as an option. | 11:23 |
| ibuclaw | gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub | 11:24 |
| st4aluck | does it mean it the kernel issue as I tought | 11:24 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, a regression, probably, yes. | 11:24 |
| ibuclaw | in that file, you should see a "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" line. | 11:24 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: done | 11:24 |
| allencch | hello, i have downloaded ubuntu desktop dvd, and i have already installed Ubuntu with english. may i know how to install other language support through DVD? | 11:25 |
| st4aluck | I made thise before | 11:25 |
| ibuclaw | =) | 11:25 |
| ibuclaw | sudo update-grub | 11:25 |
| st4aluck | it's already made to show the boot loader | 11:25 |
| ibuclaw | then reboot, login, and *then* try removing the AC power cable | 11:26 |
| ibuclaw | kk :) | 11:26 |
| st4aluck | ok | 11:26 |
| st4aluck | bye | 11:26 |
| ibuclaw | allencch, if you are connected to the net, you can get language-support packages through the repository | 11:28 |
| allencch | is there anyway to install offline, such as using DVD? | 11:28 |
| ibuclaw | allencch, hmm, what's on the DVD contents? | 11:29 |
| allencch | the DVD iso downloaded from ubuntu website | 11:29 |
| ibuclaw | allencch, hmm, maybe I'm blind, but I wasn't aware of a DVD available for download from the site (nor was I aware of one). | 11:33 |
| allencch | http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#dvd | 11:33 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: it freezes at the moment I have to load into my account | 11:34 |
| allencch | ibuclaw, it is linked to other server | 11:34 |
| ibuclaw | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/release/ | 11:35 |
| ibuclaw | :) | 11:35 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: it freezes at the moment I have to load into my account | 11:35 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: ha, new update kernel on Lucid | 11:38 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, ? :) | 11:40 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: new 32-28 | 11:40 |
| st4aluck | 32-18 | 11:40 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: I tried to boot on battery but it freezes at the moment I had to load into my account!?!? | 11:42 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: there is a new kernel update to 32-18 it was 32-17 | 11:43 |
| ibuclaw | oic | 11:43 |
| ibuclaw | allencch, if you insert the DVD and browse it's contents, what do you see? | 11:43 |
| allencch | the DVD is just similar to the CD version, only the squash fs is about 1.2 G | 11:44 |
| ibuclaw | I was more interested in if there is a "pool" directory | 11:47 |
| ibuclaw | if so, check that under "l" or "la" | 11:47 |
| allencch | ibuclaw, pool contains "main" and "restricted" | 11:49 |
| ibuclaw | allencch, check under main | 11:50 |
| allencch | inside main got "l", and in "l" got a lot of "language-pack*" | 11:50 |
| ibuclaw | allencch, there you go then =) | 11:50 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, if you can figure out which was the last working kernel, check the change, try raising a bug report with your findings. | 11:51 |
| allencch | ibuclaw, then how do i install? i want to install chinese language and scim input. is it using the "deb" files? | 11:51 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: How it has to be? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" | 11:52 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, that is the default, yes | 11:52 |
| ibuclaw | oh, noacpi? | 11:52 |
| ibuclaw | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noacpi" | 11:52 |
| st4aluck | like that? | 11:52 |
| ibuclaw | well, it doesn't matter on the order | 11:53 |
| ibuclaw | so long as it is within the quotes | 11:53 |
| ibuclaw | after saving, run: | 11:53 |
| ibuclaw | sudo update-grub | 11:53 |
| st4aluck | ok | 11:53 |
| ibuclaw | to generate a new grub.cfg file for boot | 11:53 |
| allencch | ibuclaw, okay, i know the solution, it is using dpkg | 11:54 |
| allencch | ibuclaw, thanks for your help. FYI, the DVD image doesn't have the language I want. hahaha. | 11:55 |
| ibuclaw | allencch, gdebi should be installed =) | 11:55 |
| ibuclaw | that allows you to double click on the debs to install | 11:55 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: still downlading the updates:( | 11:56 |
| ibuclaw | allencch, being connected to the net is so much easier though when installing packages. | 11:56 |
| st4aluck | then I will reboot | 11:57 |
| allencch | but internet connection is not very fast and not always available in my area. | 11:57 |
| ibuclaw | because of the ... fragmented way they are maintained. | 11:57 |
| lukjad86 | st4aluck Hey, that's great! | 11:58 |
| st4aluck | lukjad86: haha, I am happy with the router...after 2-3 hours I'll have it back | 11:59 |
| lukjad86 | Good for you! | 12:00 |
| st4aluck | 77 euro, uh!!! | 12:00 |
| st4aluck | I can connect 64 computers with it | 12:01 |
| st4aluck | lukjad86: still trying to fix the battery problem | 12:02 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/447104 | 12:02 |
| ibuclaw | broken wireless drivers strikes again. | 12:02 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, another test is to disable network manager from autostarting =) | 12:03 |
| allencch | thanks, bye | 12:04 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: Are you talking about the battery mode | 12:05 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: I did read it yet | 12:06 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: I didn't read it yet | 12:06 |
| st4aluck | how to disable the network manager and do you think it'll help | 12:07 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, I *think* it is in System->Preferences->Startup Apps | 12:08 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: Sorry I'll be back in few minutes..... have to kill the snake:))) | 12:09 |
| ibuclaw | ; | 12:09 |
| st4aluck | wow | 12:16 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: do you mean startup services? | 12:22 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, is Network Manager listed ? | 12:28 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: no but there is a powerdevil deamon | 12:29 |
| ibuclaw | never heard of it. :) | 12:29 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: did you read the article? | 12:30 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: the bug is the same | 12:31 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: log-in screen. | 12:32 |
| st4aluck | after logging in, I HAVE TO KILL THE NM-APPLET BEFORE IT'S CONNECTED. | 12:32 |
| st4aluck | this will make my laptop run stable on battery power, pulling out the adapter when the system is booted still ends up with a frozen PC | 12:32 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, preventing nm-applet from starting full stop will prevent you having to do that. | 12:33 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: that was the last comment | 12:33 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: now there is a new kernel... let me reboot to see,uh? | 12:34 |
| st4aluck | just upgradet | 12:34 |
| ibuclaw | st4aluck, sure, go ahead | 12:35 |
| st4aluck | bye | 12:35 |
| lukjad86 | ibuclaw Is there a way to sync my computer's time with a server? It seems to be off by several minutes | 12:36 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: it got frozen while loading the kernel | 12:45 |
| ibuclaw | oh joy :) | 12:49 |
| ibuclaw | does the same happen when starting recovery mode -> selecting resume? | 12:49 |
| ibuclaw | also, a pastebin of /var/log/messages may prove useful insight | 12:51 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: did you see that?..... edit: 12-02-10 the LINUX-2.6.31-18-kernell solves the problem on my pc | 12:56 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: Can I run LINUX-2.6.31-18-kernell on Lucid? | 12:57 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: that guy says it solved the problem | 12:57 |
| st4aluck | ibuclaw: Can I run LINUX-2.6.31-18-kernell on Lucid? The guy sais it fixed the problem with the battery. ( edit: 12-02-10 the LINUX-2.6.31-18-kernell solves the problem on my pc) | 13:13 |

| lorn_ | So I'm about as new as one can get to linux based systems and ubuntu....I seem to be incapable of figuring out how to unzip my downloads. | 21:00 |
| lorn_ | The archive manager says they're not zip files, so I tried 7zip and that isn't working either :/ | 21:00 |
| nhandler | lorn_: What are the downloads? | 21:03 |
| fine_line | Ha's anyone a favourite C++ compiler and IDE ( Netbeans/Code::Blocks) for Lucid | 21:05 |
| pedro3005 | fine_line, well.. I always use g++ as a compiler | 21:06 |
| fine_line | is that better than Borland ? | 21:07 |
| lorn_ | Sorry had a phone call | 21:07 |
| lorn_ | the downloads are diablo 2 from battle.net installers | 21:08 |
| lorn_ | Error: /home/lorn/Desktop/Downloader_Diablo2_enUS.exe: Can not open file as archive | 21:09 |
| fine_line | quit | 21:10 |
| nhandler | lorn_: You will not be able to run that in Ubuntu. It might work with wine, but I'm not sure | 21:10 |
| lorn_ | I see | 21:10 |
| lorn_ | but normal zip files should just work then, eh? | 21:11 |
| lorn_ | ill try it | 21:11 |
| nhandler | Zip files are just an archive. You will be able to extract them in Ubuntu, but you might not be able to run what is actually inside them | 21:13 |
| lorn_ | awesome, wine is working for the unzip | 21:19 |
| lorn_ | Thanks guys, I was convinced I had somehow saved the archives wrong or something :) | 21:20 |
| freezeloud | lorn_: diablo 2 works just fine under wine | 21:20 |
| nhandler | Uh, you don't need wine to unzip a .zip file. | 21:20 |
| lorn_ | I needed it to unzip the diablo 2 installer | 21:27 |
| lorn_ | file share | 21:29 |
| lorn_ | mt | 21:29 |
| freezeloud | lorn_: ubuntu handles archives well, if installer was an exe self-extracting archive it is windows stuff so you need wine or windows to run it | 21:30 |
| lorn_ | Yessir I understand that now, didn't realize it was a windows compatability thing | 21:30 |
| freezeloud | lorn_: yop srry :) | 21:31 |
| lorn_ | What would be the best way to set up quick file sharing from computers on the same router | 21:31 |
| lorn_ | My brother is still running windows, not sure if that matters | 21:31 |
| pedro3005 | Eh, brothers and their windows | 21:32 |
| pedro3005 | I know how you feel! | 21:32 |
| lorn_ | haha | 21:32 |
| lorn_ | one of these guides says to use network manager but I can't find it for the life of me | 21:33 |
| lorn_ | and I'm not familiar enough with th console to know how to type commands yet :/ | 21:34 |
| pedro3005 | lorn_, you'd use samba | 21:35 |
| lorn_ | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 21:37 |
| lorn_ | Don't see much else open | 21:38 |
| lorn_ | that was through terminal though | 21:38 |
| pedro3005 | lorn_, do you have software center or synaptic open? | 21:38 |
| lorn_ | oh there it is, an update manager running minimzed where I didn't expect | 21:39 |
| lorn_ | on the left | 21:39 |
| pedro3005 | close it | 21:39 |
| lorn_ | it's mid updating atm, should I cancel and update later? | 21:40 |
| pedro3005 | lorn_, either that or wait until it's done | 21:42 |
