[00:38] <acer_> hi I have big troubles with activating wireless in acer 5310
[02:17] <MitigationElf> Can anyone help me with installing Ubuntu on my HP Touchsmart iQ775? The monitor does not work properly
[02:23] <duanedesign> hello MitigationElf
[02:24] <MitigationElf> Hello duanedesign
[02:25] <MitigationElf> I have installed ubuntu on my touchsmart and the integrated monitor does not work. This is my first experience with Ubuntu. If I can just get it to where I can see what is happening I can probably figure out the rest.

[02:28] <duanedesign> i dont know a lot about tablets, but this might help?^^
[02:29] <MitigationElf> Actually, this is thier touchscreen desktop
[02:31] <MitigationElf> What happens is that I can see the screen barely - but it is not clear. I am most familiar with Windows. If thsi was the Windows OS, I would say it needs a driver correction
[02:37] <MitigationElf> duanedesign: Thank you for the link... I will see if I can find anything in the forums that will help.

[16:05] <kaushal> hi
[16:05] <kaushal> can someone please suggest me about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2010-August/004541.html?
[16:46] <philinux> wassup with forums. Last messages 7 hours ago?
[16:46] <paultag> philinux: wait on it
[16:46] <paultag> philinux: it has been escalated to canonical
[16:47] <paultag> philinux: hang tight
[16:47] <philinux> Ah problem then not just me lol.
[16:47] <paultag> philinux: no, it's down everywhere
[16:49] <sebsebseb>  
[18:23] <anniesmum> i have tried to boot from a cd but the page came up bright colored swirls and the words were unreadable what can i do please
[18:23] <pointydrip> I'm try to setup lemonpos and squeeze but I can't login. Is anyone good with MySQL?
[18:27] <Phrea> ok, who here broke UF
[18:33] <anniesmum> does it make a difference that my computer has a touch screen
[18:34] <pointydrip> neither squeeze nor lemonpos are able to connect to the lemondb mysql database, even though I ran the script to create it and am using all the defaults
[18:39] <anniesmum> it was suggested to me to use ubuntu on a cd to boot from to see if I could open an external hard drive I followed the directions but the screen was unreadable it was very bright swirls of colour and I could not read anything that was written on the page . does it make a difference that my computer has a touch screen
[18:40] <nhandler> anniesmum: Maybe try searching on Google to see if the machine has worked for other people with Ubuntu
[18:41] <anniesmum> ok will do
[18:41] <anniesmum> if i change to a laptop will it boot ok to that or do I need a different download
[18:46] <pointydrip> is it possible that by setting my own admin password in mysql, I have denied access to lemonpos?
[18:46] <pointydrip> is there a way to run the mysql install configuration again?
[18:47] <pointydrip> sorry I'm new to mysql
[18:50] <anniesmum> google found me an answer and what to type after it boots up but it wont work for me as the screen is just a mishmash of colors so would like to try it on an ordinary lap top do i use the cd i have made or do I need a different one I think this said download for desktop
[18:50] <anniesmum> but i could not find a laptop one
[18:50] <hobgoblin> anniesmum: as long as you have the right archtecture - 32 or 64 bit for the laptop that will be fine
[18:51] <anniesmum> thank you yes 32 bit
[18:51] <hobgoblin> pointydrip: not able to help - but hang about someone else might be able to
[18:51] <anniesmum> i will go and try it now
[18:51] <hobgoblin> Phrea: it was me - I deleted the cafe
[18:52] <Phrea> gheh
[18:52] <hobgoblin> ;)
[18:53] <pointydrip> hobgoblin: cool, I'm still working on it...
[19:27] <pointydrip> so installed mysql administrator to get an easier look at what is going on in MySQL and a host of error messages appear in the log referring to lemonpos such as: [ERROR] /usr/bin/mysqld: Table './lemondb/transactiontypes' is marked as crashed and should be repaired
[21:17] <pointydrip> ...so I've been toiling over my lemonpos > mySQL connection problem and and all I can think of is that somehow there is an inconsistancy between username/password/privaleges/installation folder that I cannot pinpoint. When I apt-get remove then apt-get install both mysql and lemonpos some of the password info stays the same, how do I get ride of everything mysql and lemonpos related to start from scratch?
[21:18] <pointydrip> I also ran build-dep for both...
[21:24] <pointydrip> is ~$ apt-get purge what I'm looking for?
[21:30] <geirha> pointydrip: That'll at least purge the config as well, though I'm not sure if the database files will still be around or not.
[21:31] <pointydrip> I tried the command DROP for the database implicated
[21:32] <pointydrip> lemonpos comes with a script that creates a mysql database
[21:32] <geirha> After a purge, see if   find /usr/lib /var -iname "*mysql*"  outputs anything
[21:32] <pointydrip> okay
[21:36] <pointydrip> one blog suggested Ubuntu users need kde-devel but provided no further insight, is there any truth behind that (it install 300mbs of packages
[21:41] <pointydrip> it finds all kinds fo stuff
[21:42] <pointydrip> geirha: There are lots of files in var/log
[21:44] <geirha> pointydrip: The ones in /var/log doesn't matter. They are only written to, not read.
[21:44] <pointydrip> geirha: there's 2 python files
[21:44] <geirha> I don't see how kde-devel would help on anything
[21:45] <geirha> In /usr/lib/python-something?
[21:45] <pointydrip> ya
[21:45] <geirha> Those doesn't matter either. They're just libraries. Sounds like everything mysql related are gone now.
[21:46] <pointydrip> should I run the search as root? there were lots of acces denied
[21:46] <pointydrip> *permission denied
[21:47] <geirha> Ah, yeah. Database files would likely not be readable by regular users.
[21:49] <pointydrip> the dpkg stuff is all from the installation right?
[21:50] <pointydrip> after that the only one is /var/lib/update-rc.d/mysql
[21:53] <geirha> Yeah, neither is read by mysql.
[22:08] <pointydrip> geirha: thanks for the help...I have to shut her down for the day
[22:08] <harrison> Hello
[22:08] <harrison> Anyone here good at file system recovery?
[22:09] <harrison> My ext4 File system appers to be corupted (sorry about the spelling)
[22:13] <harrison> Hello?
[22:56] <harrison> Hello?
[22:58] <zkriesse> Hello harrison
[22:59] <harrison> Are you good at filesystem recovery?
[22:59] <zkriesse> Ah depends
[22:59] <zkriesse> !ask
[22:59] <ubot2> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[22:59] <harrison> Yes ubot2
[22:59] <zkriesse> lol
[23:00] <zkriesse> Just letting you know
[23:00] <harrison> I notised that my computer was running slow, I restarted and got Operating system not found!
[23:01] <zkriesse> Ok
[23:01] <zkriesse> What os?
[23:01] <zkriesse> Ubuntu?
[23:01] <harrison> I booted off a live cd and ran testdisk rebooted and got a grub recovery shell
[23:01] <zkriesse> Ok...
[23:01] <zkriesse> Ah what is the os that is running the system though
[23:02] <harrison> I booted a live cd again and tried accesing the partition to do a full backup I have one from a few months ago and it saied that the file system was corupted!
[23:03] <harrison> A XP Ubuntu dual boot
[23:03] <harrison> ubuntu 10.04
[23:03] <zkriesse> Huh
[23:03] <zkriesse> And what is lost? The entire file system or just one of them
[23:04] <harrison> I only tried accesing the ubuntu one give me a moment and I will try the XP one
[23:05] <zkriesse> Ok
[23:06] <harrison> XP comes up okay I will paste the error that is given for the ubuntu partition
[23:07] <harrison> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/479097/
[23:08] <zkriesse> Hmm
[23:10] <harrison> Any ideas?
[23:11] <harrison> I am running a
[23:12] <harrison> (sorry I hit enter to soon)
[23:13] <harrison> I am running a Mint 9 live cd on the machine that has this problem and everything works eccept for my ubuntu partition!
[23:13] <zkriesse> Huh...
[23:13] <zkriesse> I'm sorry but at the moment I'm at a loss!
[23:13] <harrison> If its any help the partition is type ext4
[23:14] <harrison> Would there be anywhere else to go and ask?
[23:14] <harrison> This is only the biginners thread for general topics This is a bit more advanced.
[23:15] <harrison> *This problem
[23:15] <harrison> ['/-0~4~[24~
[23:15] <harrison> [23;2~[23;2~
[23:16] <harrison> My screen when black for a moment there.
[23:23] <harrison> is there a channel called #linux-filesystems (or something to that effect) somewhere?
[23:29] <harrison> This might be the problem: I never setup a LBA for XP but when I ran testdisk  it showed the XP partition a LBA with the filesystem type being something to do with windows 95 then the Ubuntu partition and swap before that there where only 3 partitions and now there are 4!
