[04:29] ...something really simple but ubuntu seems to operate very differently to what i'm used to (vista) i do enjoy problem solving but i've hit a massive snag, i could use DOS very well but the terminal throws me around, i really need some guidance [04:31] mongoosedog, what are you trying to do? === running_rabbit07 is now known as uRock [06:56] sorry pedro3005 just trying to make programs run https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer trying to make that run, because mediatomb only run when it wants to, althought right now it is working lol [06:56] kids are sick mate sorry === uRock is now known as Ronald_McDonald === Ronald_McDonald is now known as uRock [11:16] morning - anyone on here got any experience with apt-cacher ? [11:27] morning hobgoblin [11:27] o/ [11:30] duanedesign: how's things/ [11:37] duanedesign: apt-cacher is new to me - and there are different ones to use ... [11:37] :) [12:30] nvm - I think I have sorted it now [12:37] hobgoblin: sorry i stepped out. [12:37] I think I can forgive you today :) [12:40] heh, you get apt-cacher set up [12:41] think so with apt-cacher-ng - I won't really know till there are some updates on lucid :) [12:41] if I get the downloads quicker than 70kb/s I would hazard a guess it is :) [13:58] duanedesign: yep - all appears to be hunky dory :) [17:28] Hi I am hoping to install a dual boot of Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio, sharing the same /home partition. I this relatively straightforward? [18:25] AJH101: did you get the info you were looking for? [18:29] 2/b 19 [19:33] Hi I am hoping to install a dual boot of Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio, sharing the same /home partition. I this relatively straightforward? [19:34] AJH101: Humm. [19:34] AJH101: I would avoid it ( I used to do that ) [19:34] AJH101: the issue is configuration changes from install to install [19:34] I would +1 that - I try not to use same /home [19:34] AJH101: since it is studio, I assume you will be running JACK ? [19:35] AJH101: so the default will be set to JACK once you do that on the Studio partition, but when you go back to Ubuntu it will try and use JACK ( and it's not installed ) thusly breaking the Sound system [19:35] There are other concerns. If youwant to share /home, create two users AJH101 [19:35] but even that is risky [19:38] or maybe a /data partition to share information [19:39] +1 duanedesign, not a bad idea [19:39] duanedesign: then ln it to ~ [19:39] duanedesign: I do the same with "/Media" and that has /Media/movies and /Media/music [19:39] hello every one [19:40] Hola [19:40] paultag: ahh, thats neat [19:40] can you help with something plx? [19:40] duanedesign: I like it. I keep 100 GB slices of my drive for different distros and I got tired of copying music around [19:40] SoSamono: don't ask to ask, just ask! :) [19:42] ok my problem is i want to put VLC player runing as defoult player on the cd-rom whem i put some media on at this moment i have Totem how can i xhange that in Ubunto? [19:43] SoSamono: sure can :) [19:44] SoSamono: There should be a menu item to change the default handlers [19:44] duanedesign: can you help? I am on my sister's box. No Ubuntu :( [19:44] paultag: yes [19:45] duanedesign: thank you <3 [19:45] SoSamono: you can change the default app for filetypes [19:45] SoSamono: R-Click on one of your movies, for example, and select Properties [19:46] SoSamono: Select the 'Open With' Tab [19:47] SoSamono: select VLC. If you dont see it you might have to 'Add' it [19:47] then everytime you select that file type it will open with VLC [19:48] i sse [19:48] isse [19:49] thnks for that i was looking for some comand line to do that :P [19:50] duanedesign: thanks :) [19:53] np :) [19:54] ?

[20:55] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1446132 [20:55] lstdio_: also #ubuntu+1 on IRC [20:55] I even left a comment... [20:57] ShadowKnight, install? or configure? [20:57] lstdio_: have you had a read of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423210 [20:57] lstdio_, install it completely new with a windows 7 starter base [20:59] lstdio_: threads from the likes of technoviking are allways worth following :-) [21:04] trying to get my box set up as a web test environment. went through the steps to get LAMP set up. anyone know where I can find straight forward directions on how to get the box to accept files when trying to upload to it? [21:07] anyone know how to set up ubuntu on a netbook? is it better to do the netbook remix or just regular ubuntu? [21:08] phillw, threads like mine are always worth following up too. ;) [21:08] ShadowKnight, in that case then, you'll need a pendrive, and the netbook iso image [21:09] ShadowKnight, you can make the pendrive bootable using http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [21:09] which will extract the image onto it. [21:10] once complete, all you do is reboot + select the USB Hard Drive from BIOS boot setup. [21:11] you can also follow this documentation for creating a bootable pendrive. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [21:11] hmmm okay so in that i download the windows or linux version? and would it work if i put it in my external hard drive? [21:11] ShadowKnight, you are in windows, right? [21:12] you download the windows version ;) [21:12] It is a program [21:12] you run it. [21:12] lmao okay then just making sure. okay so i download that and the iso image? [21:12] yes [21:12] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-netbook [21:13] ShadowKnight, ensure that you use a clean pendrive (ie: format it before using unetbootin on it) [21:14] lstdio_: There was no slight on your abilities, I apologise if you felt I was calling your knowledge & experience into doubt. [21:14] Does any1 know if I can upgrade a 32bit version of ubuntu 2 64bit without doing a fresh install? (looking 4 a way so that I don't lose my programs) [21:14] okay thenthanks lstdio_ imma get on this right now. [21:14] phillw, no worries - I'm not usually named this nick anyway. =) [21:16] phillw, it does give insight though to see how new users are treated every once in a while =) [21:17] paultag, plymouth is absolutely useless... [21:18] lstdio_: tell me about it. Fails with nvidia drivers. [21:18] paultag, no it doesn't ;) [21:18] http://www.sucka.net/2010/03/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ [21:18] lstdio_: yes it does [21:18] lstdio_: it comes out with text and not images :( [21:19] see link :) [21:19] kk [21:19] apparently that is all it needs [21:19] lstdio_: you've been grassed on, i know who you are ;-) [21:19] haha [21:19] ty lstdio_ :) [21:19] /nick sdennie [21:20] speaking of which, I'll have to email him sometime.

[22:09] I have a Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala machine [22:10] yeap [22:11] when i took it to my dads, i hooked up the network connection and it didn't recognize the on board network connection [22:12] what type of machine do you have? [22:12] amd 64x2 [22:12] i just built it for him [22:13] do i have to add a network connection and manually put in his mac address and stuff? [22:14] danda48: How are you connecting to the internet ;) [22:14] danda48, I am leaving right now nhandleris going to give you a hand [22:15] ethernet? wifi? [22:16] ethernet [22:16] danda48: And did it work when connecting at your house ? [22:17] yes it did, i'm online with it now [22:17] its an M2N68- AM Plus Asus board [22:18] danda48: Are you sure he has working internet at his place? [22:19] yes, he was borrowing a machine and when i put that one back online it was fine [22:20] should i delete the Auto eth0? [22:20] before i hook it up to his ethernet connection? [22:23] danda48: It shouldn't matter. [22:24] When you click on the networking applet when plugged into his ethernet, does anything show up? [22:25] no, nothing [22:25] like its not there [22:27] well, this is annoying :) [22:29] danda48: Well, you should also be able to use ifconfig to set this up (http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2006/11/ifconfig-dissected-and-demystified.html). But I am a not sure why it would not show up in the applet [22:30] do i run ifconfig from the terminal? [22:31] Yes [22:31] ok [22:31] thanks for your help [22:32] i'll study ifconfig and run it from his connection [22:32] thanks again [23:35] yay!
