[00:02] if I make a feature request (don't know how though) that the scanner-program instead of just saying boohoo should say "sorry your scanner needs a firmware-file, do you want me to search your windows partition for it, copy it and fix everything for you automaticly? ..so you think anyone would really code such a feature? [00:03] *do [00:10] alright, i just got my key [00:10] modelf_: cool [00:10] i'm waiting for ubuntu to publish it so i can get the fingerprint [00:10] yup [00:10] So this GPG key is like a numeric identity? [00:13] i believe so...never truly understood it myself [00:27] modelf_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto If ya still have questions, gpg keys are primarily a means of verify integrity of content and authenticity of source via trust. [00:34] lo all [00:36] yikes [00:36] okay [00:36] did all of that [00:37] registered my OpenPGP key and signed the ubuntu CoC [00:37] https://launchpad.net/~christopherkmoore1 [00:38] starcraftman: thanks [00:38] modelf_: any other questions? [00:38] lo goodtime_ [00:39] i'm just getting started [00:39] hey hows it going [00:39] ZachK_ was helping me [00:39] help this man [00:39] i think i need to make a wiki now [00:41] modelf_: sorry i'm back now my man [00:41] hello goodtime_ [00:41] hello [00:42] my box freeze's up when i youse my cam [00:43] and i have that xfce gui [00:43] goodtime_: hmmm, you mean a webcam? Can you elaborate a bit more? [00:43] so now my net stat doesnt have a ip [00:43] Are you using Ubuntu with the XFCE environment or are you using Xubuntu [00:44] modelf_: join #ubuntu-beginners-wiki and #ubuntu-beginners-team [00:44] i have a gearhead cam [00:44] its got a mic and video as well [00:45] i realy freeze up when i start it thats all i know [00:48] goodtime_: do anything to get that camera installed? Also, do you know what graphic card you have and if you enabled drivers? Drivers can be found System > Admin > Hardware. [00:48] aahhhh [00:49] so just about everything is a file [00:49] huh? [00:49] in linux [00:49] goodtime_: oh yes, the config files are all text. [00:49] vrmind i was just spacein i guess [00:49] No registry here. [00:50] i dont think i did register here yet [00:51] i realy need to [00:51] forgot how to thoughlol [00:51] goodtime_: well if you want, did you install driver? [00:51] yes [00:51] ill find it hang on [00:52] goodtime_: I meant both for webcam and graphics card. Processing raw video can be heavy depending. [00:53] its installed just not ativated [00:54] goodtime_: which? graphics? Why not active? [00:54] should i remove it [00:54] graffics [00:55] idk why lol [00:55] goodtime_: ideally you should enable the graphics driver. What card do you have? [00:55] nivdia gforce [00:57] goodtime_: hmmm, k, so just activate it in the hardware drivers menu I indicated. [00:57] Shouldn't have any trouble. [00:57] ty [01:02] ill brb [01:03] starcraftman: hola senor [01:06] how goes stlsaint [01:06] graffics work fine now [01:10] goodtime_: good, so no more problem with cam? [01:10] binary driver usually required for intensive video. [01:10] yeah i was just running a ironman xvid [01:11] poor quality [01:11] the file was thoe [01:12] a dvd prob plays good [01:14] nope neither dose the cd's [01:14] i need permissions i think [01:15] i can read but i cant wright [01:16] question, I'm using CD/DVD Creator and its asking me if I want to burn an .iso image or the contents. What's the difference and which do I want if I want to burn a disk to give Ubuntu to a friend? [01:17] goodtime_: what ya mean? I'm not following, the video sources are problem or the playback is poor? [01:17] blurb: if you want to burn an Ubuntu Live CD then you'd burn and ISO Image [01:18] bolth starcraftman [01:18] i cant play a dvd nor the cd [01:18] hahaha weird [01:19] goodtime_: can't help with encoding, try to reconvert from dvd source. As to playback, to do dvd you need ubuntu-restricted-extras package. [01:19] likely same problem with audio. [01:19] Yes I want to burn the liveCD. So from the two choices you're saying I need to chose butn the iso instead of choosing the contents of the .iso? [01:19] no audio works fine [01:19] blurb: on the brasero home page, click Burn Image in left pane. That's the right one. [01:21] goodtime_: install package anyway, open a terminal Applications > Accessories > Terminal and type: [01:21] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:22] E: Couldn't find package package [01:22] goodtime_: bah, ok, System > Administration > Software Sources. [01:23] ok [01:23] Ensure communiy maintained and software restricted enabled. [01:23] starcraftman: I just want to make sure -- since I'm not using brasero, but the other one that comes w/ the system, and what it says exactly is "Burn as file", or "Burn Contents" [01:23] Close and click reload, then retry command. [01:24] i dont understand that [01:25] hmm [01:25] blurb: you want to burn contents, burning a file would mean just burning the archive. [01:26] starcraftman: Okay. So that I understand better, when would you want to burn the archive? [01:26] what do i need from my softwear sourse [01:27] blurb: when you want to simply transport the archive, a ISO is a container like a zip. If you burned a zip, you just burn a container. If you burn the iso your burning the contents of the archive, like you extracted zip and burned its contents. [01:27] goodtime_: check on first tab community maintainsed software, then close and reload. [01:28] ok [01:28] starcraftman: ZachK_: Thankyou both! [01:29] yup [01:30] i cant find it hang on lol [01:32] goodtime_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=500020 [01:32] See installing with gui section. I gotta run a bit.

[01:41] Ah cool. [02:02] question: If I burn an .iso LiveCD to a disk, and I still have some room on the disk (and I clicked the option to leave space open) is there a way I can put more files on there that can be accessed by the liveCD. Like new user guides and other documentation for new Ubuntuans? [02:03] if the disk finalizes [02:03] you cant [02:03] I made sure not to finalize it. [02:04] should work then [02:04] blurb: your better off making a persistent usb install [02:05] Okay, I know how to make a persistent usb install, but I'm wondering if I can do something similar (but w/o persistence obviously) on a CD. [02:06] Mainly I want to include some new user stuff that when someone is trying out a liveCD they can get to it. [02:10] blurb: Something easier would be to open the ISO in somehing like archive manager or winRAR and add files to the ISO [02:11] Chesamo: Ah, that's an interesting idea. [02:13] blurb: It's the best way to do it, since generally ISO burning finalizes [02:17] hello |friTTe| [02:17] blurb: Here's something you might find useful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [02:18] <|friTTe|> ZachK_: hi [02:24] http://techbuket.net/lunix-183.html [02:29] Thanks stlsaint: Chesamo: and nUboon2Age: I'll experiment with those ideas.

[12:37] neither [12:37] neither is working [12:38] ouch [12:38] walkkenn_: System > Administration > Gparted should show you your partition table. [12:38] i'm not sure then :/ [12:39] walkkenn_: not sure why it does not have the space you think it does. Is their an 'unallocated' space shown by gparted. [12:40] can't find gparted [12:40] walkkenn_: ok [12:40] walkkenn_: sudo apt-get install gparted [12:44] can i install from live [12:44] cd [12:44] 10.04 over a bad upgrade 9.10? [12:46] Some unallocated, but lots of unknown [12:46] Guest32582: if you do an install instead of an upgrade you will need to back up your data [12:47] ok is it lost for sure [12:47] Guest32582: do you get an error when trying to boot into recovery mode? [12:47] the unknown is from the original 1st install attempt, there shouldn't be anything on it. How do I put it together with the other? [12:48] I dont now how to irc: but no recovery modes are working [12:49] walkkenn_: ok you will need to boot up with a liveCD to change the partitions. [12:49] no CD available, used the USB device [12:49] all recovery modes are ending on the same spot [12:50] walkkenn the usb will be fine [12:50] but manually i can start up wit sudo kdm [12:50] OK, what do I do? [12:51] walkkenn use the gparted to make the 'unknown' area into ext4 [12:51] Guest32582: where do Recovery Mode end? [12:52] walkkenn you can then 'grow' the partition into the newly made area. [12:52] lines in black screen with text as starting ... done; last line is starting battery state... done [12:53] is it pretty intuitive for a nob? [12:53] quick question, can transmission bittorrent minimise to system tray? [12:54] insanity99: yes [12:54] how? [12:55] I just close it and it minimises - hang on I'll check the prefs [12:55] walkkenn_: it is not bad.

[14:53] walkkenn_: you were not able to delete any of the extra directories?

I guess whether or not you have to move the partition with all the data before resizing.. [15:05] I think you do - it's at the end ...
