[10:42] I don't think gnome-terminal has ever been "greyed" out for me. I can't imagine what could cause it.

[14:03] hello realeyes [14:03] hello [14:03] that is a good start [14:03] thanks. [14:04] Is there anything else I should do? I hear a lot about 'syncing repos'. Do I need to do that? [14:06] You may want to try installing Ubuntu Tweak. That would help you a lot customizing your Ubuntu [14:07] realeyes: I would add the medibuntu repository. [14:08] tell me how plx? [14:09] realeyes: open a Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) [14:09] and run the commandL [14:09] echo deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid free non-free | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [14:10] you are running lucid I assume. [14:10] and this command: [14:10] it worked, yes i am. Any next step? [14:10] wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - [14:10] no errors [14:11] anything else? [14:11] realeyes: Background info to medibuntu. http://medibuntu.org/ [14:11] By the way, Medibuntu means Multimedia, Entertainment and Distractions In Ubuntu [14:12] realeyes: Have you installed the graphics driver for your card? [14:12] yes === paultag_ is now known as paultag [14:13] 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] is that it? I'm done now? lol [14:17] a couple of things from the medibuntu repository you might need are the w32codecs [14:17] that package contain video codecs for popular proprietary formats [14:17] 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] realeyes: and if you plan on playing DVD's the package: libdvdcss2 [14:30] 10.04.1 do not forget QT 4.6.3 [14:30] Do not forget update 4.6.3 packages. [14:30] What does this mean?? [14:31] hi [14:31] i wants to install vbox but it has some issue [14:32] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/wpfQatpE [14:36] hey bihari [14:37] hi serfus [14:37] bihari, could you check if there is any other update manger or synaptic is running ? [14:38] another package manager [14:38] ok i have installed it [14:38] now may i know whats the next step ? [14:38] next step for what? [14:39] bihari, did you successfully installed what you wanted? [14:40] yes [14:40] Are you installing two separate applications, bihari? [14:40] not now [14:41] i have stoped [14:41] bihari, great [14:41] thanks serfus [14:41] bihari, you are welcome :) [14:42] 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] Download the .deb file and install on your computer [14:45] zeroseven0183, whats wrong with software center? [14:45] i have downloaded from sofftware center [14:50] 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] While on the PUEL, you can do it. It has a feature [14:51] That's ju [14:51] That's just one difference [14:52] Anyway, that's only a suggestion. [14:54] ok i need suggestion [14:54] i am on Memory size option [14:55] and i need to know about how much shud i give for memory [14:57] How much do you have in total? [14:58] 192mb [14:59] When you create a virtual machine, you'll see there the recommended memory allotment [14:59] for example, if you want to run a VM of Windows XP, the recommened is 768MB [14:59] for Linux, I think it's 512MB [14:59] But if you have enough, you can set a higher number [15:00] Hmm... 192MB? [15:00] That's your total memory on your hardware? [15:03] i dont know how to check ? [15:04] you know how to check total memory hardware? [15:04] Click System > Administration, then select System Monitor [15:05] on the System tab, you'll see there the Memory under the Hardware section [15:06] Mind you, it won't reflect the exact memory you have. I have 4GB installed, but I only see 3.8GB [15:06] in System status i can see Available disk space:427.2 Gib [15:06] yes i have 2 gb [15:06] but it shows diffrent data [15:07] Alright. You have 2GB [15:07] 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] humm windows XP [15:08] By the way, the "Available disk space 427GB" is your hard drive [15:08] Alright, if you're going to install Windows XP [15:08] What applications you plan to use there? [15:09] because running VM will reduce the performance of your laptop [15:09] i have desktop [15:09] sorry.. desktop [15:10] If you want to be comfortable with Windows XP, then you can assign 1GB [15:10] ok [15:12] Good. Then you're on your way to running two operating systems on one machine [15:16] zeroseven0183, you make it sound so exciting :P [15:18] @serfus because IT is never boring :-) [15:19] IT is full of wonders and magic ;) [15:21] I hope to see you guys later. I'm going offline for now [15:22] Have an Ubuntu-filled weekend! [15:32] 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 ? === slidinghorn is now known as [-slidinghorn-] [16:11] bihari: hello did you get your vbox sorted out? [16:13] yes [16:14] ok :)} [16:14] duanedesign, YES now a bit problem === [-slidinghorn-] is now known as slidinghorn [16:25] ? [16:25] Hi [16:26] hi [16:27] 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] 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] There is definitely enough space in d drive. [16:40] Will I be able to preserve my data? [16:45] 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] 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] I'll say that again so you know I mean it - make sure you have backups ... [16:47] Ayumu: I'll get some links that will show more [16:47] I always back up [16:47] But its nice not to have to restore [16:48] 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] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall [16:49] absolutely agree with you - but you never know - you might lose power in the middle of the partitioner doing it's thing. [16:49] 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] So the installer will create a 3rd drive? [16:50] 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] 3rd partition. [16:51] the installer will create an extended and then 2 logicals - one for the install and one for swap [16:51] or it will want to [16:53] 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] 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] 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] I will just wing it and hope for the best. [16:58] :) [16:58] 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] 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] My router [16:59] +1 hobgoblin, damn fine catch. I was confused for a sec [16:59] doesnt really have spare ports for lan cables [16:59] 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] well you might get on with wireless [16:59] Do I need to install firefox again in linux? [17:00] paultag: which catch [17:00] Ayumu: it's default in ubuntu [17:00] aha [17:01] anyone? [17:04] abhinav: tried booting recovery and then resume from that menu? [17:05] is a guess - and a quick one as I am out in 5 [17:05] hobgoblin: that is the recovery boot screenshot! [17:05] oh === slidinghorn is now known as [-slidinghorn-] [17:08] any solution? [17:09] abhinav: no real idea - I'm running out of time - seen some people adding bootwait to device lines in fstab [17:09] sorry [17:09] Ayumu: good luck [17:09] ok no prob.... thanx anyway! bye === [-slidinghorn-] is now known as slidinghorn === JMS is now known as JoeMaverickSett [18:18] Hello, did anyone got the saa7134 dvb card working on a 64bit lucid ubuntu ?
