| jimisrvrox | hey guys | 08:18 |
| meindian523 | hi jimisrvrox | 08:19 |
| bigleon | Evening everyone | 08:41 |
| mohi1 | hey bigleon | 08:41 |
| bigleon | will not having a swap file create ubuntu to behave abnormally (slow installs and the like) even though i got 4gigs of ram? | 08:43 |
| bigleon | I need to do a reboot Brb 2-5mins | 08:44 |
| bigleon | back | 08:49 |
| mohi1 | welcome back bigleon :) and you are in lucid right!! | 08:49 |
| bigleon | correct | 08:49 |
| mohi1 | and your installs lag a bit? | 08:50 |
| bigleon | increidbly soo | 08:50 |
| bigleon | Took me roughly 15 minutes to install quassel | 08:50 |
| bigleon | Ican't imagine Qua being any bigger than 50mb's and with a 2mb downstream it wasn't the fault of my connection | 08:50 |
| bigleon | I also seem to have a worrysome amount of missing icons. | 08:51 |
| ddecator | in the menus or on your desktop? | 08:51 |
| bigleon | In menus "places" | 08:51 |
| bigleon | all icons for documents music etc are Missing | 08:51 |
| bigleon | i'm also missing a random one in my systems folder | 08:52 |
| bigleon | personal filing sharing app... | 08:52 |
| ddecator | are they maybe just taking a while to show up? they have to load the first time the menu is displayed after you restart | 08:52 |
| mohi1 | ahha | 08:52 |
| bigleon | How long do you think it takes to load a "Folder" img O-o? | 08:53 |
| mohi1 | bigleon, see preferences-> main menu for all menu items | 08:53 |
| ddecator | it usually takes 1-2 seconds for me, just wondering if it's a speed issue or something else | 08:53 |
| bigleon | it's open. | 08:53 |
| ddecator | mohi1: you got this one then? it's 4am so i'd like to get to bed :) | 08:54 |
| bigleon | well i popped up update manager it has 190 suggestions i should DL | 08:55 |
| mohi1 | ddecator, ok ;) | 08:55 |
| ddecator | thanks mohi1 :) | 08:55 |
| ddecator | goodnight everyone, and good luck bigleon | 08:55 |
| bigleon | gonna start that in background... i created a swap so i'm hoping it will not behave like quassel install. | 08:55 |
| mohi1 | bigleon, open up terminal and type ping www.google.com | 08:56 |
| mohi1 | and pastebing the result | 08:56 |
| bigleon | Ping ranges from 40ms to 110ms | 08:56 |
| bigleon | updates are downloading at 2000kb/s | 08:57 |
| bigleon | mohi1 it's installing the differnet packages and appears to be running at what i would expect. so would it be reasonble to say no swap file = Gurgling Ubuntu? | 08:58 |
| bigleon | yeah it seems to be breezing through install it'll pop through 5-10 updates and pause on one for about 10-30 seconds then move on. | 09:00 |
| bigleon | welcome back mohi1 | 09:02 |
| mohi1 | sorry bigleon a reboot | 09:03 |

| bigleon | i'm hoping update will fix my log in screen... I'd love to see a password box instead of a glitched login interface. | 09:05 |
| mohi1 | hmm ok bigleon | 09:05 |
| bigleon | i've been using wubi last 2 days and i've never had login interface glitch... it makes me nervous thinking maybe my install was corrupted at very least in a small way. | 09:06 |

| ironreaper | Need help formatting hard drive | 14:01 |
| ironreaper | Can anyone provide assitance? | 14:02 |
| Puck` | hi ironreaper. What kind of assitance? | 14:03 |
| ironreaper | I need to reformat the drive to NFTS, Using the disk utlilty provided on ubuntu | 14:04 |
| ironreaper | I tried Gparted but it seems way over my head | 14:04 |
| Puck` | ironreaper: may I ask why? There may be easier ways to do it, and did you do this before with any type of application? | 14:05 |
| ironreaper | No I have not, I bought windows 7 full installation and it says my HD needs to be in NFTS format, If you can help me with this it will be very appreciated. | 14:06 |
| Puck` | ironreaper: so you wish to install windows 7 next to ubuntu? | 14:07 |
| ironreaper | No, Erase ubuntu and put Windows 7 over it. | 14:07 |
| Puck` | ironreaper: in that case use windows 7 and when you install it use the entire disk, that will solve everything, but it's a sad to know that you wish to erase ubuntu | 14:07 |
| ironreaper | Well I tried that, Windows 7 will not install due to the fact that my hard drive is not in the correct format | 14:08 |
| Puck` | just boot from the Windows 7 DVD and follow the installation steps, and when you're asked for partitioning, make sure it uses your entire hard drive and it formats it | 14:08 |
| ironreaper | I will try that again, if I have to I will go into the bios and do it from there | 14:09 |
| Puck` | ironreaper: you need to erase the hard drive 1st, which can be done with the windows 7 installer, at least that's how i know, i don't have much experience installing windows 7, you may want to talk to someone who know about it more, here we deal wih ubuntu usually | 14:09 |
| Puck` | ironreaper: there's not much you can do in the bios | 14:09 |

| mathay | ronaldo_: actually no, hahaha. I've always wondered if someone would ask me that though. | 18:33 |
| ronaldo_ | ok... ur newbie in ubuntu | 18:34 |
| mathay | ronaldo_: nope. I used to be on the team but my membership expired and I didn't want to renew. | 18:34 |
| ronaldo_ | what do you mean expired in your team..in ubuntu... | 18:35 |

| zkriesse | hello again ronaldo_ | 18:36 |
| zkriesse | hey mathay long time no see dude | 18:36 |
| ronaldo_ | meaning that your not to offer a free service......how many year in u in The Beginners Team-----a member who must be give a free advice | 18:36 |
| ronaldo_ | zkriese....... | 18:36 |
| mathay | ronaldo_: I was in it about a year. Maybe a little more? Or maybe 6 months? I don't really remember. | 18:36 |
| mathay | zkriesse: I know! I finally decided to reinstall XChat. | 18:37 |

| zkriesse | mathay: ah been ok | 18:38 |
| zkriesse | mathay: Planning College stuff | 18:38 |
| ronaldo_ | i believe that before you become a member of a The Beginners Team...that you must have a qualified...or pass the examinations in ubunut os | 18:40 |
| mathay | ronaldo_: you're presented with a small quiz before being able to join. It is a good idea though. | 18:41 |
| mathay | zkriesse: very nice, very nice. Have you chosen where you want to go? | 18:41 |
| zkriesse | mathay: Well I want to join the Army (Combat Medic) but I need 15 college credits...So I'm going to take some classes that will apply to such a venture | 18:42 |
| Silver_Fox_ | mathay - Superb blog you have | 18:42 |
| ronaldo_ | i thought mostly users of ubuntu os would like to become linux Guru or Programmers...i shock that you zkriesse wanted to become an Army .... | 18:43 |
| zkriesse | ronaldo_: Heh... | 18:44 |
| mathay | zkriesse: that's very admirable. Dangerous too. Be safe! | 18:44 |
| zkriesse | thanks mathay | 18:44 |
| zkriesse | so ronaldo_ learning anything yet? | 18:45 |
| ronaldo_ | mathay...are u an ubuntu OS expert or programmers.......here in SAudi Arabia , working as a Computer Operator but I'am very interested in linux OS....but i still learning more.. | 18:46 |
| ronaldo_ | zkriesse.....be careful.... | 18:46 |
| mathay | ronaldo_: eh, nope. The Ubuntu OS is supposed to be accessible. The level of sophistication one wants is really dependent one one's interest. | 18:46 |
| mathay | ronaldo_: I'm probably in the middle. I know how to program a little and know my way around a terminal. | 18:47 |
| zkriesse | oh mathay don't lie... | 18:47 |
| zkriesse | ronaldo_: mathay is just being shy | 18:47 |
| zkriesse | ronaldo_: he's in fact super awesome | 18:47 |
| ronaldo_ | gud....i focus and concentrate in CLI---especially the commands.......but more perservarance .......and dedicated to learn...especially in our company or my fellow employess..nbody use an Ubuntu OS or other distro... | 18:48 |
| mathay | lol, zkriesse, I'm not entirely sure about that. Thank you though! | 18:49 |
| zkriesse | lol | 18:49 |
| mathay | ronaldo_: the perks of using Linux far outweighs the negative aspects. | 18:50 |
| ronaldo_ | really zkriesse...... i feeling today that while reading the command manual and try to experiment or practice in CLI..... | 18:50 |
| ronaldo_ | what do you mean mathay ...what is the negative side............... | 18:51 |
| mathay | ronaldo_: to be honest, I can't think of anything. Maybe hardware compatibility when switching from Microsoft? Maybe? | 18:52 |
| zkriesse | mathay: and even that can be rare | 18:52 |
| mathay | zkriesse: totally. I felt like I had to be fair. :p | 18:53 |
| ronaldo_ | do u know.....many people easily to give up ..... i believe linux is more problem to be face.....is like to go alone by yourself to learn....tru practice , reading ,and chatting....u cannot get on the spot the answer especially in urgent basis.. | 18:55 |
| mathay | ronaldo_: to a degree. If one goes to the Ubuntu Forums then most problems can be solved. It's true, one isn't relying on customer service; what's in place of the customer service is a community that is extremely helpful. Far more helpful than customer service, to be honest. | 18:58 |
| mathay | When I had Vista I encounter a problem that was within the OS. I'm still not sure what happened but it made the system inoperable. I had no choice but to switch. | 18:59 |
| mathay | Customer service was absolutely appalling. The operators basically said I just had to "deal with it." | 18:59 |
| ronaldo_ | yes....that is true... I undesrtand the other side....meaning you need to learn by ourself......hardware , software , program etc.... this is the essence of learning ...don't stop believing ... | 19:01 |
| nUboon2Age | also w/ vnc, nx or TeamViewer you can get remote assistance in Linux and probably many more folks from the community who would be willing/able to help. | 19:01 |
| mathay | ronaldo_: definitely. Especially when most people sit in front of a computer all day. People become helpless when faced with a problem. | 19:04 |
| ronaldo_ | and never never give up.........the greatest character of linux users that i believe.....is VERY RESOURCEFUL.... | 19:04 |
| mathay | ronaldo_: definitely. :) | 19:04 |
| nUboon2Age | now we have not only the power inherent in the CL, but the gui tools have gotten to the point where you can do most of what you need to do there and this makes it accessible to SO MANY more people. | 19:04 |
| ronaldo_ | YES i experienced that.....mathay.... i was became helpless .....so the question is WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU BECAME HELPLESS...... | 19:06 |
| nUboon2Age | ronaldo_: one thing i think is doing what you're doing now. talk it over w/ others. | 19:07 |
| ronaldo_ | back to basic....be more resourceful ..never give up.....the more you hardwork ....the more you learn...... | 19:07 |
| ronaldo_ | nUboon2Age.... yes i'am open minded to the others...i thanks to them...the more i read there problem.....i learn from there problem.... | 19:08 |
| ronaldo_ | now i understand why the newbie linux users got easily to give up.........by the way thanks your advice and comments....mathay and nUboon2Age | 19:11 |
| mathay | ronaldo_: I think when they really get into it, they love it. That's how I was. | 19:12 |
| mathay | No problem, ronaldo_ :) | 19:12 |
| ronaldo_ | i feel that I COMPETE TO MYSELF TO LEARN A LOT......in linux .... is like to learn and share later on to the community.....is like a Priest or Preacher.....after learning a bible later on he share the words of God .....just i feeling now.. | 19:14 |
| nUboon2Age | ronaldo_: the one place i think can be tough in Linux is when you're isolated. For instance if you can't (for whatever reason) get an internet connection, AND you have no relevant resource books/ebooks available to you AND you don't have access to any Linux tinkerers. Similarly if you didn't know about the forums, didn't know about these irc support channels (or didn't know how to use irc), that's a time when | 19:15 |
| nUboon2Age | you could be in a similar place of isolation. | 19:15 |
| nUboon2Age | Since knowledge of Windoze stuff is fairly widespread chances are you could take the machine to a shop and get it 'fixed', whereas in Linux, not so much and that is where people need to know about the on-line resources. | 19:17 |
| nUboon2Age | ronaldo_: i'm not sure if its a good thing, but I feel a similar sense of mission about Ubuntu as what you're describing. I feel like Ubuntu (and Gnu/Linux generally) is a force of liberation that needs to be spread. | 19:19 |
| ronaldo_ | absolutely nUboon2Age..........i know that.....every problem there is an opportunity to learn and sacrifice......i understand that... | 19:19 |
| ronaldo_ | i know the mission of Ubuntu....... | 19:20 |
| ronaldo_ | thanks your linux-spiritual messages and comments.... | 19:22 |

| Amblix | installing ubuntu 10.04 on old machine using CD boot - what is an example of a priority=medium installation menu that I'd see versus leaving priority=high? more urgent problem is that I can't try it because I haven't been able to figure out where to effectively enter boot options/params like priority=medium - trying to figure out if I should even bother and if default priority=high would be fine | 21:36 |
| Amblix | ubuntu 10.04 desktop variant if it matters | 21:36 |
| zkriesse | AHAHA! | 22:05 |

| bobo123 | I think one should press space very early during boot of the ubuntu10.04 live cd... isn't there a small human symbol at the bottom of the screen... I might be mistaken though | 22:55 |
| ibuclaw | http://iainbuclaw.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/screenshot-10.png | 22:57 |
| bobo123 | but if I guess right, then you get the old kind of menu that ubuntu allways started with. and you can press F5 to change parameters and such... | 22:57 |
| ibuclaw | I'm not sure that wallpaper suits it... :\ | 22:57 |
| bobo123 | ibuclaw: what is the X-icon? the background looks like a bar chart :-P | 22:58 |
| ibuclaw | Amblix, priority= I presume must be the debconf option | 23:00 |
| ibuclaw | high meaning only ask you high priority questions | 23:00 |
| ibuclaw | medium meaning ask you medium and high priority question. | 23:01 |
| ibuclaw | low mean ask all questions. | 23:01 |
| ibuclaw | bobo123, X-icon ? | 23:01 |
| ibuclaw | you mean X-chat ? | 23:02 |
| bobo123 | aha ok. | 23:14 |
| bobo123 | now when I know, I do see that is written chat with grey on it too :-) | 23:15 |
| Amblix | yes, when I boot from CD, I hit a key on the first boot display (with the keyboard/human icons) and it brings me to an menu with an 'install' menu option. I can press F6 here and bring up a text line below the menu containing the default 'Boot Options' | 23:17 |
| Amblix | however, when I add "priority=medium" at the end of the line (w/o quotes), I don't see any additional menu items appear versus the situation where run installation of ubuntu from cd with default boot options/params (ie. priority=high or critical - I forget which is the default) | 23:18 |
| mhall119 | okay, so I have kind of a strange problem | 23:23 |
| mhall119 | after upgrading to 10.04, suspend works between my home and my office | 23:24 |
| mhall119 | but after suspending at my office and coming home, it reboots instead of coming out of suspend | 23:24 |
| mhall119 | and every time networking is disabled, and my proxy settings are still set to my work settings | 23:24 |
| mhall119 | even though I changed my proxy settings back to "default" before I suspended at the office | 23:24 |
| mhall119 | has anyone encountered this before? It's almost like it's restoring from some old settings that are nevery being overwritten | 23:24 |
| ibuclaw | bobo123, how about http://iainbuclaw.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/screenshot-1.png ? | 23:28 |
| ibuclaw | :) | 23:28 |
| Amblix | ;) | 23:33 |
| ibuclaw | Amblix, is the the GUI installation? | 23:35 |
| Amblix | yeah | 23:38 |
| Amblix | although i originally thought that the priority changes would take effect with the command line install and not in the graphical install | 23:38 |
| Amblix | which, after this 5th graphical re-install, i'm starting to think that's correct | 23:41 |
| Amblix | i'm basically looking to see if I can open up a more detailed menu system during the install process in order to have more control over the configuration being installed - this is my first linux distro install since gentoo several years ago. The(graphical) install of ubuntu was so fast compared to tedious/detailed gentoo installs i ran in the past that I'm wondering if i'm missing out on anything controllable in the install process | 23:43 |
| Amblix | i was thinking maybe the "priority=medium" boot option/parameter for the ubuntu installer might be what i'm looking for? | 23:43 |
| Amblix | at the same time when I enter the graphical install and then hit 'esc' to get to a command line 'boot' prompt, I can't figure out what command/syntax to enter there to begin the install (with or without boot params) | 23:44 |
| jimisrvrox | hey guys im trying to dual boot xubuntu and xp for a friend of mine and im in Gparted but the whole disk is flagged as boot and so im trying to part it in half to install xubuntu...' | 23:52 |
| jimisrvrox | and so its not allowing me to resize the partition | 23:52 |
| duanedesign | jimisrvrox: did you boot up from the Live CD? | 23:54 |
| jimisrvrox | duanedesign: yeah I did | 23:54 |
| duanedesign | jimisrvrox: is the windows partition mounted? you can unmount it from gparted i think | 23:56 |
| jimisrvrox | duanedesign: I suppose it is mounted...I was thinking about removing the boot flag to see if I could resize it..also should I just go into XP and resize it from there? | 23:56 |
| jimisrvrox | duanedesign: it is the only partition showing | 23:57 |
| jimisrvrox | oh | 23:58 |
| bobo123 | ibuclaw: yes that one is nice | 23:59 |
| jimisrvrox | duanedesign: status showing not mounted | 23:59 |
