[00:17] <Laggg|newb> who wants to see the errors I get when I run conky?
[01:30] <stlsaint> paultag: what made you pick perl?
[01:31] <paultag> stlsaint: I never picked perl
[01:38] <IAmNotThatGuy> paultag, get IN
[01:38] <paultag> :'(
[01:38] <IAmNotThatGuy> OMG
[08:09] <tenach> I have a machine that only goes to the grub cli when it reboots
[08:09] <tenach> I do not have a livecd - is there a way to get grub2 to boot from the hdd manually?
[08:14] <tenach> seems that my grub.cfg is missing.
[08:18] <seidos> tenach, all this grub1 and grub2 stuff confuses me.  I think I have grub1 since I can edit the menu.lst file still.
[08:19] <seidos> and it actually makes a difference to the grub menu.  I'm also using moon os with ubuntu-desktop installed...soooo
[08:19] <tenach> seidos: I'm just using the default, grub2, from a fresh install
[08:19] <seidos> tenach, fresh install of 10.04?
[08:19] <tenach> Yeah.
[08:20] <seidos> I don't know, have you looked at this at all?
[08:20] <seidos> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[08:20] <tenach> yea, I have.
[08:21] <tenach> I need to manually boot into windows
[08:21] <tenach> so I can reactivate PLoP
[08:21] <tenach> so I can use my LiveUSB
[08:21] <tenach> :/
[08:21] <tenach> All I get is the grub> menu
[08:21] <tenach> *cli
[08:23] <tenach> All because I forgot to grub-update
[08:23] <tenach> er, update-grub
[08:23] <seidos> I don't know what "manually boot into windows" means
[08:24] <tenach> tell grub how to boot
[08:24] <tenach> right now all I see is
[08:24] <tenach> grub >
[08:24] <seidos> ah, so you can boot into windows and ubuntu with the proper command at the grub prompt?
[08:24] <tenach> Yeah.
[08:24] <tenach> I just need to boot to windows
[08:25] <tenach> so I can set the rest up to get into my liveUSB, so I can fix grub
[08:25] <seidos> did you ask in #ubuntu?
[08:25] <tenach> wo00t
[08:26] <tenach> it's the same as what you put in grub.cfg
[08:26] <tenach> set root=(hd0,1)
[08:26] <tenach> insmod chain
[08:26] <tenach> chainloader _1
[08:26] <tenach> *+1
[08:26] <tenach> then, type boot
[08:26] <tenach> and BAM
[08:26] <tenach> :D
[08:26] <tenach> brb.
[08:26] <seidos> all right
[10:37] <Laggg> My terminal just went all grey...
[10:37] <Laggg> How do I fix this?
[10:39] <geirha> grey?
[10:40] <Laggg> like its asking to force quit
[10:40] <Laggg> but its not asking that
[10:41] <geirha> Oh, the compiz plugin is telling you it's not responding. Hm.
[10:42] <geirha> I don't think gnome-terminal has ever been "greyed" out for me. I can't imagine what could cause it.
[10:42] <Laggg> i opened gedit and then closed gedit
[10:44] <pedro3005> Laggg, just kill the termina
[10:44] <pedro3005> terminal*
[10:45] <Laggg> Ctrl+D?
[10:45] <Laggg> not working
[10:45] <pedro3005> can you open a new terminal?
[10:46] <Laggg> yes
[10:46] <Laggg> but its still greyed out
[10:46] <pedro3005> the new or the old one? or both?
[10:46] <Laggg> new
[10:47] <pedro3005> hm. maybe try CTRL ALT F1 to kill it, and CTRL ALT F7 to get back
[10:47] <pedro3005> I gotta run
[10:47] <pedro3005> see you all
[10:47] <Laggg> didnt work
[10:49] <geirha> So gnome-terminal is freezing
[10:49] <geirha> Alt+F2 -> «pkill gnome-terminal»  should kill all terminals
[11:36] <duanedesign> morning all
[14:03] <realeyes>  hey guy, I just installed Ubuntu and ran 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' :: What else should I run?
[14:03] <duanedesign> hello realeyes
[14:03] <realeyes> hello
[14:03] <duanedesign> that is a good start
[14:03] <realeyes> thanks.
[14:04] <realeyes> Is there anything else I should do? I hear a lot about 'syncing repos'. Do I need to do that?
[14:06] <zeroseven0183> You may want to try installing Ubuntu Tweak. That would help you a lot customizing your Ubuntu
[14:07] <duanedesign> realeyes: I would add the medibuntu repository.
[14:08] <realeyes> tell me how plx?
[14:09] <duanedesign> realeyes: open a Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)
[14:09] <duanedesign> and run the commandL
[14:09] <duanedesign> echo deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid free non-free | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
[14:10] <duanedesign> you are running lucid I assume.
[14:10] <duanedesign> and this command:
[14:10] <realeyes> it worked, yes i am. Any next step?
[14:10] <duanedesign> wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
[14:10] <realeyes> no errors
[14:11] <realeyes> anything else?
[14:11] <philinux> realeyes: Background info to medibuntu. http://medibuntu.org/
[14:11] <zeroseven0183> By the way, Medibuntu means Multimedia, Entertainment and Distractions In Ubuntu
[14:12] <philinux> realeyes: Have you installed the graphics driver for your card?
[14:12] <realeyes> yes
[14:13] <realeyes> i just did this: sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update
[14:16] <realeyes> is that it? I'm done now? lol
[14:17] <duanedesign> a couple of things from the medibuntu repository you might need are the w32codecs
[14:17] <duanedesign> that package contain video codecs for popular proprietary formats
[14:17] <philinux> realeyes: is this 10.04 you installed. If so you might want to take a look at the sticky thread in ubuntu forum General Help.
[14:18] <duanedesign> realeyes: and if you plan on playing DVD's the package:  libdvdcss2
[14:30] <realeyes>  10.04.1 do not forget QT 4.6.3
[14:30] <realeyes> Do not forget update 4.6.3 packages.
[14:30] <realeyes> What does this mean??
[14:31] <bihari> hi
[14:31] <bihari> i wants to install vbox but it has some issue
[14:32] <bihari> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/wpfQatpE
[14:36] <serfus> hey bihari
[14:37] <bihari> hi serfus
[14:37] <serfus> bihari, could you check if there is any other update manger or synaptic is running ?
[14:38] <serfus> another package manager
[14:38] <bihari> ok i have installed it
[14:38] <bihari> now may i know whats the next step ?
[14:38] <serfus> next step for what?
[14:39] <serfus> bihari, did you successfully installed what you wanted?
[14:40] <bihari> yes
[14:40] <zeroseven0183> Are you installing two separate applications, bihari?
[14:40] <bihari> not now
[14:41] <bihari> i have stoped
[14:41] <serfus> bihari, great
[14:41] <bihari> thanks serfus
[14:41] <serfus> bihari, you are welcome :)
[14:42] <zeroseven0183> bihari: If you want Virtualbox, I would suggest getting the PUEL (Personal Use and Evaluation License) version from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads instead
[14:42] <zeroseven0183> Download the .deb file and install on your computer
[14:45] <bihari> zeroseven0183,  whats wrong with software center?
[14:45] <bihari> i have downloaded from sofftware center
[14:50] <zeroseven0183> The Virtualbox that is in the software center does not have USB support. Meaning, you cannot plug and use a USB device on your virtual machine.
[14:50] <zeroseven0183> While on the PUEL, you can do it. It has a feature
[14:51] <zeroseven0183> That's ju
[14:51] <zeroseven0183> That's just one difference
[14:52] <zeroseven0183> Anyway, that's only a suggestion.
[14:54] <bihari> ok i need suggestion
[14:54] <bihari> i am on Memory size option
[14:55] <bihari> and i need to know about how much shud i give for memory
[14:57] <zeroseven0183> How much do you have in total?
[14:58] <bihari> 192mb
[14:59] <zeroseven0183> When you create a virtual machine, you'll see there the recommended memory allotment
[14:59] <zeroseven0183> for example, if you want to run a VM of Windows XP, the recommened is 768MB
[14:59] <zeroseven0183> for Linux, I think it's 512MB
[14:59] <zeroseven0183> But if you have enough, you can set a higher number
[15:00] <zeroseven0183> Hmm... 192MB?
[15:00] <zeroseven0183> That's your total memory on your hardware?
[15:03] <bihari> i dont know how to check ?
[15:04] <bihari> you know how to check total memory hardware?
[15:04] <zeroseven0183> Click System > Administration, then select System Monitor
[15:05] <zeroseven0183> on the System tab, you'll see there the Memory under the Hardware section
[15:06] <zeroseven0183> Mind you, it won't reflect the exact memory you have. I have 4GB installed, but I only see 3.8GB
[15:06] <bihari> in System status i can see Available disk space:427.2 Gib
[15:06] <bihari> yes i have 2 gb
[15:06] <bihari> but it shows diffrent data
[15:07] <zeroseven0183> Alright. You have 2GB
[15:07] <zeroseven0183> Now, the allotment of memory would depend on what operating system and applications are you going to use on the VM (virtual machine)
[15:08] <bihari> humm windows XP
[15:08] <zeroseven0183> By the way, the "Available disk space 427GB" is your hard drive
[15:08] <zeroseven0183> Alright, if you're going to install Windows XP
[15:08] <zeroseven0183> What applications you plan to use there?
[15:09] <zeroseven0183> because running VM will reduce the performance of your laptop
[15:09] <bihari> i have desktop
[15:09] <zeroseven0183> sorry.. desktop
[15:10] <zeroseven0183> If you want to be comfortable with Windows XP, then you can assign 1GB
[15:10] <bihari> ok
[15:12] <zeroseven0183> Good. Then you're on your way to running two operating systems on one machine
[15:16] <serfus> zeroseven0183, you make it sound so exciting :P
[15:18] <zeroseven0183> @serfus because IT is never boring :-)
[15:19] <bihari> IT is full of wonders and magic  ;)
[15:21] <zeroseven0183> I hope to see you guys later. I'm going offline for now
[15:22] <zeroseven0183> Have an Ubuntu-filled weekend!
[15:32] <bihari>  i have 2 gb in which i have install ubuntu and now i wants to make vbox and it asking for space so how much shud i assign space ?
[16:11] <duanedesign> bihari: hello did you get your vbox sorted out?
[16:13] <bihari> yes
[16:14] <duanedesign> ok :)}
[16:14] <bihari> duanedesign,  YES now a bit problem
[16:25] <Ayumu> ?
[16:25] <Ayumu> Hi
[16:26] <hobgoblin> hi
[16:27] <Ayumu> I have a laptop, hdd partitioned to c and d drive. vistaids is on C drive, I plan on installing ubuntu on D drive. I assume I am going to lose data on D drive?
[16:36] <hobgoblin> yes - make sure you backup all you need - or you can resize the drive and install in the spare space - if there is enough room
[16:39] <Ayumu> There is definitely enough space in d drive.
[16:40] <Ayumu> Will I be able to preserve my data?
[16:45] <hobgoblin> you can shrink the drive in the installer which will leave the data alone - more or less - then you can use the space that is created to install into
[16:46] <hobgoblin> it is always advisable to have backups anyway - more so if you are going to be editing partitions which is what you will be doing
[16:46] <hobgoblin> I'll say that again so you know I mean it - make sure you have backups ...
[16:47] <hobgoblin> Ayumu: I'll get some links that will show more
[16:47] <Ayumu> I always back up
[16:47] <Ayumu> But its nice not to have to restore
[16:48] <hobgoblin> This is what you will be doing - "Select Guided – resize. In the New partition size area, drag the area between the two partitions to create your desired partition sizes."
[16:48] <hobgoblin> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall
[16:49] <hobgoblin> absolutely agree with you - but you never know - you might lose power in the middle of the partitioner doing it's thing.
[16:49] <hobgoblin> It can take a while to do if there is a lot of data as it needs to move it about - alos make sure you;ve defragged the win drive that you are going to be installing on.
[16:50] <Ayumu> So the installer will create a 3rd drive?
[16:50] <hobgoblin> One more thing - sometimes it looks like the partitioner has hung - don't be fooled and turn it off. I've had to recover from that scenarion
[16:51] <Ayumu> 3rd partition.
[16:51] <hobgoblin> the installer will create an extended and then 2 logicals - one for the install and one for swap
[16:51] <hobgoblin> or it will want to
[16:53] <Ayumu> So I have C and D drive, the installer will install to D and create an E drive, or create an E and F drive?
[16:55] <hobgoblin> linux calls drive much diffrent things - drive one will be sda drive 2 sdb etc - partition one on drive one will be sda1, partition 2 - sda2 etc
[16:56] <hobgoblin> logicals always start at 5 - so it will likely create and extended and call it sda3 and then 2 logicals - sda5 and sda6
[16:58] <Ayumu> I will just wing it and hope for the best.
[16:58] <hobgoblin> :)
[16:58] <abhinav> hello I am getting problem to boot ubuntu 10.04. I get this: http://i35.tinypic.com/t0hxtz.jpg    Any solutions to this. :)
[16:58] <hobgoblin> Ayumu: it's not as bad as it seems - you can get online with the livecd assuming you connect with ethernet rather than wireless
[16:59] <Ayumu> My router
[16:59] <paultag> +1 hobgoblin, damn fine catch. I was confused for a sec
[16:59] <Ayumu> doesnt really have spare ports for lan cables
[16:59] <hobgoblin> Ayumu: so if necessary you can get here while doing the install - which I wish I had known about 4 years ago lol
[16:59] <hobgoblin> well you might get on with wireless
[16:59] <Ayumu> Do I need to install firefox again in linux?
[17:00] <hobgoblin> paultag: which catch
[17:00] <hobgoblin> Ayumu: it's default in ubuntu
[17:00] <Ayumu> aha
[17:01] <abhinav> anyone?
[17:04] <hobgoblin> abhinav: tried booting recovery and then resume from that menu?
[17:05] <hobgoblin> is a guess - and a quick one as I am out in 5
[17:05] <abhinav> hobgoblin: that is the recovery boot screenshot!
[17:05] <hobgoblin> oh
[17:08] <abhinav> any solution?
[17:09] <hobgoblin> abhinav: no real idea - I'm running out of time - seen some people adding bootwait to device lines in fstab
[17:09] <hobgoblin> sorry
[17:09] <hobgoblin> Ayumu: good luck
[17:09] <abhinav> ok no prob.... thanx anyway! bye
[18:18] <sensouci> Hello, did anyone got the saa7134 dvb card working on a 64bit lucid ubuntu ?
[20:03] <philinux> Anyone in !
[20:07] <squaregoldfish> What's up?
[20:14] <philinux> Cant get my headset mic working. Tried everything
[20:18] <squaregoldfish> Only thing I can think to suggest is to make sure you've un-muted your mic channel, as well as setting the level. If you haven't already, of course :)
[20:27] <ikt> quick question, does anyone know what happened to the 64 bit flash installer/file
[20:27] <ikt> I can't find it
[20:27] <ikt> and the 32 bit flash wrapper crashes alll the timeee
[20:28] <squaregoldfish> 64bit flash has been withdrawn by Adobe.
[20:32] <squaregoldfish> ikt: http://www.squaregoldfish.co.uk/sekrett/libflashplayer.so.gz
[20:34] <IdleOne> philinux: make sure the right device is selected in the Sound Prefs
[20:34] <philinux> Yep tried mic1 and mic2 no dice
[20:35] <philinux> There's a loud click when I plug in though
[20:35] <IdleOne> you clicked on the speaker and went to Sound Prefs > Input
[20:36] <philinux> Yep
[20:36] <IdleOne> hmm
[20:36] <IdleOne> try running alsamixer
[20:36] <philinux> Been in alsamixer padevchooser etc etc
[20:36] <IdleOne> :/
[20:37] <philinux> will have to test mic tomorrow at GF's
[20:38] <philinux> Or could be motherboard mic input
[20:45] <ikt> cheers squaregoldfish
[20:46] <squaregoldfish> ikt: np
[20:54] <philinux> IdleOne: Ok line in no sound either. Plugged guitar direct into line in and changed input to line one
[20:54] <IdleOne> oh snap you got multiple inputs
[20:54] <IdleOne> hmm I have never done that before
[20:57] <philinux> Pulse prefs simultaneous output ticked.
[20:57] <IdleOne> philinux: maybe #ubuntustudio can be more help
[20:59] <philinux> pulse volume meter working when guitar played so I'm guessing it an output problem
[21:02] <philinux> I'll check out ubuntustudio tomoz it beer oclock
[23:20] <stlsaint> oi
[23:21] <pedro3005> oi stlsaint
[23:24] <bobo123> hi stlsaint and pedro3005 :-)
[23:25] <pedro3005> hello bobo123
[23:27] <bobo123> (beginning to) doing anything fun?
