zeroseven0183TJ_ : You can also switch workspaces using the Viewport Switcher in Compiz01:40
zeroseven0183... assigning a mouse button or the mouse wheel to scroll through the workspaces you have01:40
TJ_Just as a note geirha was entirely right, and now that I see that and this error I realize what's been causing a lot of failures during use...will help me a lot!01:43

newbie1hi guys, I got a ubuntu 9.04 live CD, and I download a 10.04 iso files on local hdd,  Can I install 10.04 with the iso file in 9.04 live session?09:21
hobgoblinno - you will need to boot with the 10.04 - either with a usb or a cd.09:22
hobgoblinyou might be able to use the usb-creator program on the 9.04 livecd to make a bootable 10.04 but I am not sure.09:24
newbie1I've tried to boot a grub from a usb drive(128M), and I rename the 10.04 iso file to 123.iso. But when I type grub> find 123.iso. It's said "no files found"09:24
newbie1I only got a 128M bootable USB :09:24
newbie1(09:24
hobgoblinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/usb09:24
hobgoblinoh :(09:25
hobgoblinyou might be able to use unetbootin with a minimal iso - they are only 10Mb or so - but you will need ethernet to complete the install as you will need to get the rest of the packages you need09:26
newbie1where I can download it09:26
newbie1?09:27
hobgoblinhttp://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal09:27
hobgoblinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD09:27
hobgoblinlots of links to have a look at :)09:27
newbie1is it that work for 10.04?09:28
hobgoblinassuming the laptop/pc you are installing to has good enough specs - you could probably install ubuntu-desktop once you have the minimal started09:28
hobgoblinshould do - though I have not done so myself09:29
newbie1so after I download the minimalCD, use the "usb startup creator" from 9.04 to burn the usb drive, then boot.09:31
newbie1that's all?09:31
hobgoblinthen do the install with that yes - that will install a minimal system - you can then add to that as you want09:32
hobgoblinthat is if it works - as I said I have not done so myself - but it should work :)09:33
newbie1thx, I try now. :)09:33
hobgoblinonce the minimal install has finished - installing ubuntu-desktop should get a normal desktop for you09:33
hobgoblinsudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop09:33
newbie1Will I get the same system as which install from a CD?09:35
hobgoblinthat is ubuntu-desktop09:35
newbie1I see, thanks a lot09:37

sonofjonI am an IRC newbie, but long-time Ubuntu user. I just asked a question on #ubuntu. Wow, I got quick answers, but I just couldn't keep up reading them because of the high rate of messages flowing past in the window. I use empathy, and while it allows me to scroll up, it forces the scrollbar to the bottom of the window as soon as a new post appears (every few second or so). This makes it almost impossible to keep up with any conversatoin in that22:27
sonofjon channel. Any advice how to work around that would be very welcome. Thanks.22:27
pedro3005I don't know about empathy. I use XChat and it does not have such issue22:28
phillwniether does pidgin22:29
swoodynor irssi :)22:30
swoodyalthough I've never been a fan of using empahty or pidgin as an IRC client...22:31
swoodyjust because you *can* put a screw in a wall with a hammer doesn't mean you should ;)22:32
drubinsonofjon: I would give xchat a try it is a proper irc client22:32
swoodyI would really suggest xchat as a good IRC client if you want to use something with a nice GUI22:32
sonofjonI noticed I can do CTRL-F to search for my nick, but still, as soon as there is a new msg the window scrolls down to the bottom again... Very annoying. No way to read any other messages than the last ten or so...22:32
drubinsonofjon: That is also a bug and I would log it. If you have scrolled up on the screen empathy shouldn't just scroll down22:32
sonofjondrubin: Thanks for the support. I'll check launchpad, and post it.22:33
vanHello people, anyone has any suggestion on a webcam application?22:33
phillwswoody: pidgin may be basic (like me) but it does allow me to kkep my nicks open on MSN, AIM & Yahoo! whilst using IRC in one small programme. xChat it is not :-)22:33
phillwvan: Cheese22:33
vanTa phillw22:34
swoodyphillw: that's true, but again, sort of swiss army knifeish. I prefer to use a good IRC client in lieu of tacking on another task to pidgin22:35
swoodyphillw: but that's the great thing about Linux, you and I can do what we need to however we want to. What may be good for one person may not completely different for the next :)22:35
phillwi know what you mean, I've read through some of the plugins for pidgin - i just use vanilla flavour. As you say, I'd have to run several apps to get the 'best' for MSN, AIM, Yahoo! and IRC - and then keep track of them all. I have them all on one screen, which is what I want.22:37
sonofjonThere is already a bug posted on the empathy scrolling issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adium-theme-ubuntu/+bug/54280622:45
drubinI tried empathy for about a week before I just couldn't use it any more22:48
LeAstraleIts horrible drubin22:49
drubinI hate it22:49
drubinit has soooooo many papper cuts I gave up maiking lists22:49
LeAstraleThey should do a 1000 papercuts in empathy project :)22:50
drubintrue that22:52
drubinlI started making a list but seriously got so annoyed I just purged empathy22:52
drubinvery annoyed they removed pidgin and included that in lucid22:52
LeAstraleimo they didn't listen to the users at all.22:53
phillwempathy was not getting a good press on the 10.04 testing forum, tbh. it's not ready for release yet.22:53
LeAstraleHaven't heard anyone who liked it yet.22:53
drubinit is shit22:54
phillw(keeps pidgin) - lol22:55
drubinI understand their reasoning for switching to empay and i agree with them22:56
drubinbut I thinkt hey should have fixed the damn UI an user experience before swiching over22:56
phillwempathy is not in lubuntu, we have pidgin, xchat and sylpheed.22:56
drubin;-p22:57
phillwmind you, we still have the buttons in the correct places at the moment, no doubt that will change ;-)22:58
swoodyphillw: I was very glad to see Lubuntu using xchat :)23:00
swoodyit's nice to have a dedicated IRC client included with at least *some* distros these days :/23:00
phillwswoody: it is the preferred irc agent, as i said, i use pidgin because of my IM accounts.23:00
LeAstraleGoodnight folks!23:01
sonofjonSo, can one use pidgin with the new me menu / indicator applet?23:01
phillwi've got one person chatting to me via Yahoo! and another via AIM - it just suits me, and that is what linux is all about.23:01
swoodyphillw: :)23:01
Jon_Monrealsonofjon: Using Pidgin with memenu here.23:01
sonofjonGreat, how?23:02
Jon_Monrealsonofjon: Only problem is that if you go offline, the only way to select an online status is to open the buddy menu and change it.23:02
Jon_Monrealsonofjon: You should be able to just install Pidgin, and it should work (I would also uninstall Empathy)23:02
sonofjonI could live with that, I'll try it.23:03
sonofjonThanks! Can pidgin import my account settings from empathy?23:03
Jon_Monrealsonofjon: I don't believe so23:05
drubinsonofjon: nope.23:05
sonofjonNot a big deal. It'll be quick to re-enter.23:06
Jon_Monrealsonofjon: Pidgin is fairly easy to configure, however, and there are plugins available if you are interested in extending it23:06
screwedmybooti need help restoring my original settings for the plymouth boot screen/splash screen23:10
Jon_Monrealscrewedmyboot: What did you change?23:10
sonofjonSee you later (I'll be back using pidgin)23:11
screwedmybootsorry, just closed the window, just a sec23:11
screwedmybootcan't find it, but i added some plymouth themes23:12
screwedmybootand now the initial screen (prior to login window) shows up for a few seconds and then hangs on a blank screen23:12
screwedmyboothere we go...i found some new themes on the software center, added them23:14
screwedmybootthen ran "sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth"23:14
screwedmybootit had me select a new theme (type 1,2,3 or 4 for the desired theme)23:14
screwedmybootand then when i rebooted, the above issue happened.23:15
Jon_Monrealscrewedmyboot: Have you tried reverting to the original theme? Also, did the resolution change with these new themes?23:15
screwedmybooti'm not sure about the resolution; i believe it did just from appearance. and reverting back is exactly what i want to do23:16
screwedmybootbut i don't know how to get to a terminal to do so. i'm running on the livecd right now (10.04)23:16
Jon_Monrealscrewedmyboot: Okay, what you should try to do is restart, and when Grub comes up (you might need to hit ESC) select the first (recovery mode) option, and when you get to the blue screen select "Drop to root shell prompt. From there, run sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth23:19
screwedmybootawesome, thanks. didn't know how to get to the grub screen, guess i shoulda asked that23:20
Jon_Monrealscrewedmyboot: It's no problem. If this doesn't solve your problem, we can try something else.23:21
screwedmybootalrighty, hopefully be right back23:22
smee2Hello23:24
Jon_Monrealsmee2: Hi23:25
smee2what happens when you delete a file in linux?  is there something analogous to a 'recycle bin' that i need to empty or does deleting a file take care of everything?23:26
pedro3005depends on how you delete it23:26
helloulol.23:26
helloubodhi_zazen, u there bro?23:26
hellousmee2, using 'rm' wont23:26
helloubut23:26
helloulike if ur using nautilus then yeah23:26
pedro3005smee2, ubuntu does have a recycle bin, and files you delete by pressing the "delete" key or by right click > delete go there23:26
pedro3005but, as hellou said, if you delete it via the command line, it is erased on the spot23:27
Jon_Monrealsmee2: You can get to the Trash by clicking the trash icon in the bottom right-hand corner23:27
hellouIf you want though you can enable a "delete" action when you right click a dir/file that will not send it to trash23:27
helloujust rm23:27
smee2...hidden right in front of my face...23:28
hellousmee2, are you worried about secure deletion?23:28
smee2hellou: partly.  i also don't want to waste space23:28
smee2but learning secure deletion would be nice23:29
hellouOkay, well imo the most secure tool to use would be 'srm' from the secure-delete package23:29
hellouheres from man23:29
hellou       srm  removes each specified file by overwriting, renaming, and truncat-23:29
hellou       ing it before unlinking. This prevents other people from undeleting  or23:29
hellou       recovering any information about the file from the command line.23:29
hellouit's better then shred because iirc shred doesnt go recursive23:30
helloubodhi_zazen, fkin wake up bro23:31
smee2awesome.  just installed it.23:32
smee2thanks a lot23:32
screwedmybootnomok, tried it, couldn't get to my xterm but it flashed between the regular boot screen and verbose mode23:33
screwedmybootnomBUT, i got into my system, and i think we're good now23:33
screwedmybootnomonly thing is the resolution is still funky23:33
Jon_Monrealscrewedmybootnom: What do you mean? Is the resolution low?23:34
bodhi_zazenhellou: zup ?23:35
hellouYO>23:35
smee2If I have a directory window open, isn't there a way to open up a terminal right to that location?  I tried right-click and shift, ctrl, but I can't see it.23:35
helloui'm sure there's some nautilus plugin for that...23:36

Jon_Monrealscrewedmybootnom: As silly as it sounds, try restarting (if you haven't already).23:39
screwedmybootnomunfortunately, i don't think this is related; i run conky and tried out gnome-do/docky23:39
screwedmybootnomand they both would randomly close; however, now xchat is doing it as well23:40
helloupaultag, you still a master thingy?23:40
hellouhere?23:40
screwedmybootnomran conky from a term cause i couldn't find it in my menu, and no errors, close notification, etc would show up23:40

Jon_Monrealscrewedmybootnom: Well, we should take this one step at a time. If we can get it back to the old problems only, it will likely be easier to fix23:42
paultaghellou, montel, leave.23:42
hellouwhat?23:43
screwedmybootnomk sounds good.  as far as i can tell, boot screen is fixed; the resolution is odd but it starts, no hanging, i get to my log on no prob23:43
Jon_Monrealscrewedmyboot: Do you have an Nvidia card with Nvidia drivers? There are problems with Plymouth and some configs/23:44
