[01:05] <zkriesse> kosaidpo: Ok so go to the Pidgin menu
[01:06] <zkriesse> Click Buddies -> Add Chat
[01:06] <zkriesse> It should have your IRC account filled in already if it's the only one you use, and then put in the channel or channels you wish to join in that chat example
[01:06] <zkriesse> #channel,#channel2,#channel
[01:07] <kosaidpo> you mean the the menu of this window from where im tlkin to you or the main window of pidigin
[01:08] <zkriesse> The main pidgin window

[01:12] <zkriesse> kosaidpo: ah the lubuntu issue...PhillW already answered that in the lubuntu email list
[01:12] <zkriesse> But you should ask that in #lubuntu not here
[01:13] <kosaidpo> yeh i kno

[01:13] <kosaidpo> can i DM you ?
[01:14] <zkriesse> You may pm me yes....although support questions are better asked in the channel so all can assist
[01:14] <zkriesse> But if it's private than you may
[01:16] <kosaidpo> zkriesse: no since you said i cant ask question related to lubuntu infact i had this problem also when i had ubuntu
[01:17] <zkriesse> You can ask man....just remember that most here will be using ubuntu not Lubuntu...I'm saying that its better to ask in #lubuntu
[01:17] <zkriesse> and you can pm me..i have no problem with that...
[01:44] <pointydrip1> is there a text editor that has an autofill feature like that of the terminal?
[01:47] <kosaidpo> peace out
[02:18] <isiah> linux gave me super powers! Saved my butt the first two weeks at work
[02:23] <pedro3005> isiah, :)
[02:24] <isiah> yo pedro3005
[05:04] <tcrawley> Which channel should I use for Ubuntu netbook questions ?
[05:09] <zkriesse> tcrawley: #ubuntu should be fine...and here is cool too
[05:11] <tcrawley> I have tried to install the latest version of Ubuntu Netbook  Remix on my Asus 1005HA without success
[05:11] <tcrawley> The installer hangs just before the disk partition screen
[05:12] <tcrawley> I already have an Eeebuntu installation on the machine.
[05:12] <tcrawley> I select the US Keyboard and then the installer just hangs
[05:12] <zkriesse> How long does it hang up for?
[05:13] <tcrawley> It stops responding. The ball stops spinning. I haven't allowed it to timeout.
[05:13] <tcrawley> I usually windup rebooting
[05:13] <tcrawley> The CD stops being read
[05:14] <tcrawley> Can the ball stop spinning as part of the installation?
[05:14] <zkriesse> It might...i've not installed UNR before though
[05:19] <seidos> tcrawley, your only option may be to try a different version.  I'm not sure anyone is knowledgeable enough to fix your bug, outright.
[05:19] <seidos> tcrawley, check the forums, google, and if that doesn't work you could create a bug and wait, and while you wait work on some other project.
[06:24] <diannaore> i was wondering if someone could help me get some software installed, I used synaptec package manager to mark them and I applied that but they don't show up in the add/remove software
[06:26] <pedro3005> which software?
[06:26] <diannaore> blackberry sync software namely barrybackup-gui
[06:27] <Mohan_chml> diannaore, is that application running?
[06:28] <diannaore> no i cant find it to open it, all i did was mark it in synaptec and apply it, then i went to add/remove software but couldnt find it. Is that the general procedure for installing software?
[06:29] <pedro3005> diannaore, did synaptic download & install it?
[06:30] <diannaore> yes as far as i know, is there a way to check?
[06:30] <Mohan_chml> diannaore, yes and do one thing, get back to synaptic packet manager, and search for the same application and check whether its installed
[06:31] <diannaore> yea I think it is installed, when i select the installed tab on the left it does show up
[06:32] <Mohan_chml> hmmm type the exact name of the application in terminal and hit enter
[06:33] <diannaore> it says command not found
[06:33] <Mohan_chml> you entered the same name as the name you saw in synaptic?
[06:34] <diannaore> yea the name under the package column i entered barrybackup-gui
[06:35] <Mohan_chml> thats weird... pedro3005 still hooking up?
[06:35] <pedro3005> try barrybackup
[06:36] <diannaore> oh there it goes... success!
[06:36] <pedro3005> :)
[06:36] <Mohan_chml> diannaore, have a nice day (:
[06:36] <diannaore> thanks u2
[06:36] <Mohan_chml> pedro3005, good job =]
[06:37] <Mohan_chml> (:
[06:37] <Mohan_chml> pedro3005, sup?
[06:37] <pedro3005> not much
[06:37] <pedro3005> I was looking over some Erlang today
[06:37] <pedro3005> cool stuff
[06:38] <Mohan_chml> okies... carryon
[06:40] <diannaore> is there a way to get that app to show up in my applications menu?
[06:42] <pedro3005> diannaore, sometimes it takes restarting GNOME. if it's still not showing up, make a shortcut
[06:42] <diannaore> how do i make a shortcut? sorry i'm new
[06:43] <pedro3005> diannaore, right click on Applications, go to Edit Menu. click on new item
[06:44] <diannaore> cool thx again
[06:44] <pedro3005> After finding the subdirectory you want it in, of course
[06:48] <tenach> o/
[06:49] <diannaore> in general is there a way to know the exact name of the app that might be different than what is showing in synaptic? (like in this case)
[06:50] <pedro3005> diannaore, you can use apropos for searching in commands
[06:56] <diannaore> so in this case for example how would i find the exact name of the app of barrybackup-gui using apropos?
[06:59] <pedro3005> apropos barry
[07:00] <pedro3005> diannaore, apropos is really just a search feature for all your commands
[07:03] <diannaore> the thing is i had no way of knowing to look for solely "barry" or "barrybackup" with the info given to me from synaptic, is it just a guessing game and i should just try different possibe things? the only info synaptic gave me was barrybackup-gui
[07:03] <pedro3005> that's exactly why apropos is useful. it'll search for you
[07:04] <diannaore> if i type "apropos barrybackup-gui" nothing happens
[07:09] <pedro3005> diannaore, leave out the -gui
[07:24] <diannaore> my computer has front sd card, I plug in a card and it lights up but the card doesnt show up on my desktop, how can i download the files off my sd card?
[12:16] <sebsebseb> Hi

[16:13] <ubuntu> afterwards when I restart my dell laptop.......only the Dell Windows start up then restart automatically
[16:13] <ubuntu> nothin saw a Grub Menu
[16:14] <ubuntu> only Dell Windows appear seconds then restart automatically nothing I saw a Grub Menu...
[16:15] <ubuntu> any solution about this...
[16:15] <harrison> Did you try reinstalling the windows bootloader?
[16:16] <ubuntu> no i never reinstalling windows bootloader ...I used only a Windows vista using a command prompt and type a bootrec.exe/fixmbr thats all

[17:14] <ubuntu> analyse cylinder   still  counting   47%
[17:16] <philinux> elobee: Here's what should be in the .profile file http://paste.ubuntu.com/479477/
[17:16] <harrison> ubuntu: whats it up to now?

[17:17] <ubuntu> analyse cylinder   still  counting   53%    horrison
[17:18] <ubuntu> analyse cylinder   still  counting   57%    horrison -
[17:18] <elobee> thanks philinux, but how do I get that in my .profile file then? since i can't get into the graphical mode and still not such good navigating and doing stuff from the terminal apart from the basic stuff
[17:19] <philinux> elobee: Either via the livecd or recovery mode using nano
[17:20] <philinux> elobee: I wonder whats in there now?
[17:20] <ubuntu> analyse cylinder   still  counting   60%    horrison -
[17:21] <harrison> good (by the way it's harrison)
[17:21] <ubuntu> sorry  harrison....
[17:21] <elobee> What u mean by livecd (u mean the install cd?) or recovery mode using nano? And btw how do u get to that GRUB menu?
[17:22] <harrison> ubuntu: its fine ;-)
[17:24] <ubuntu> analyse cylinder   still  counting   70%    harrison -
[17:24] <harrison> good very good
[17:26] <elobee> phillinux?
[17:29] <hobgoblin> elobee: shift should get grub menu - recovery is second option usually - when you get to the root menu - root prompt
[17:29] <harrison> ubuntu: hows the weather in your part of the world? (while we are waiting)
[17:29] <harrison> *how's
[17:29] <elobee> hobgoblin: when should i click shift?
[17:30] <hobgoblin> then edit the file with nano ~/.profile
[17:30] <hobgoblin> just after the POST screen - keep tapping on the shift key
[17:30] <hobgoblin> so make sure you print out philinux's paste
[17:31] <hobgoblin> then when you have done - Ctrl+X - then Y to save then Ctrl+X to exit
[17:32] <hobgoblin> then exit from the root prompt with exit and then resume from the root menu
[17:33] <elobee> I clicked shift during the whole startup of the computer and didnt get to any menu
[17:34] <hobgoblin> if you have an old system or at least an old grub try esc
[17:35] <philinux> elobee: Probably better/easier to use the livecd and use copy and paste using firefox and gedit.
[17:36] <elobee> live cd u mean fro what i installed from? in my case a usb
[17:36] <hobgoblin> might be easier - just a lot longer lol
[17:37] <elobee> and i don't get to any menu by clicking esc during the whole start up either...
[17:39] <hobgoblin> then I would wonder if you are doing it at the right time
[17:39] <elobee> i clicked during the whole startup ntil i get to the login screen
[17:41] <hobgoblin> then do it with the livewhatever
[17:42] <elobee> i'm booting from the usb i installed from now, can I do something from here now and how do it do it then?
[17:42] <hobgoblin> ping philinux ^^
[17:43] <harrison> still there ubuntu?
[17:44] <philinux> elobee: Use the file browser to navigate to home and then ctrl h to view hidden files. Lets see whats in .profile first
[17:45] <hobgoblin> philinux: they are new they might know to mount the partition ...
[17:46] <hobgoblin> s/not know
[17:47] <elobee> in the .profile i find it's the same as to waht u linked, but I'm not logged in in my normal user now when i bot from the usb right?
[17:48] <elobee> excuse spelling errors..

[18:38] <hobgoblin> elobee: if no-one pitches up you can give the information to the forum in your thread - basically it appears that the .profile file is owned by 1000:1000 and not you
[18:38] <paultag> hobgoblin: yo
[18:38] <paultag> hobgoblin: I'm at work, what's up
[18:39] <ubuntu> analyse cylinder   still  counting   70%    harrison -
[18:40] <hobgoblin> k - trying to get someone to help elobee - owner is wrong on /home/user/.profile - chown gives user not know - thinking it needs chroot - but not something I'm too happy doing - not done it myslef
[18:40] <hobgoblin> paultag: ^^ but I've also pinged the team channel so don't bother :)
[18:41] <paultag> hobgoblin: kk
[18:44] <hobgoblin> elobee: we'll give it a while and if no-one else can I will try to work you through it
[18:45] <elobee> ok, i'm about to post it in the forum aswell and see if someone there can assist me
[18:46] <hobgoblin> elobee: tell you what - have another go at booting the recovery mode - what version of ubuntu do you have
[18:46] <elobee> I have ubuntu 10.04
[18:47] <hobgoblin> straight install? not an upgrade
[18:47] <elobee> i downloaded it to my usb like two weeks ago from ubuntus site so i guess straight install
[18:48] <hobgoblin> ok - so shift should work - as soon as BIOS has finished press shift repeatedly
[18:48] <hobgoblin> if it does not work we can try it elsewhere
[18:48] <elobee> does it matter which of the two shift buttons?
[18:49] <hobgoblin> no idea - I got it with the left one though untill I made the menu show
[18:49] <elobee> damnit it said grub loading but then i clicked shift again and it went again so i try on more time
[18:49] <hobgoblin> you need to be doing it by then :)
[18:52] <elobee> now it said grub loading but went away after a short sec just as before, then i got to a loading screen where it checked for errors on my disk and then to the normal loading screen and then to the login screen
[18:55] <hobgoblin> elobee: try this one Ctrl+Alt+F1
[18:55] <hobgoblin> then login
[18:55] <elobee> yep that work
[18:55] <elobee> and thatä
[18:56] <hobgoblin> all logged in ?
[18:56] <elobee> and that have i done before when i run the command i was recommened from the forum :P
[18:56] <elobee> ye
[18:56] <hobgoblin> elobee: right now run this ls -al /home/elobee/.profile
[18:57] <hobgoblin> I just want to know if it says 1000 1000 or elobee elobee
[18:57] <elobee> elobee elobee
[18:58] <hobgoblin> k - so that is right then - I wonder where the 1000 1000 came from earlier - does ctrl+alt+f7 get you into gnome
[18:59] <elobee> sry had phonr
[19:00] <elobee> don't know, how does gnome look?
[19:00] <hobgoblin> like ubuntu :)
[19:00] <elobee> nope, alt ctrl f7 gets me in some text thingy
[19:00] <hobgoblin> logged in still?
[19:01] <hobgoblin> try startx
[19:02] <elobee> when im in alt ctrl f7 im not in the normal terminal
[19:02] <elobee> so dont now if im logged in
[19:02] <elobee> but in alt ctrl f1 im still logged in
[19:02] <hobgoblin> if ctrl alt f7 has your username you are logged in
[19:02] <hobgoblin> if so do startx
[19:03] <elobee> i dont see any username or so in alt ctrl f7
[19:04] <hobgoblin> try startx
[19:04] <elobee> seems that i can run anything there
[19:04] <elobee> should i try it in alt ctrl f1?
[19:06] <hobgoblin> what does startx do
[19:07] <hobgoblin> but yea try from f1
[19:09] <elobee> from f7 it does nothing, nothing even happens and the only place i can type it is in blank rows,in f1 i get alot of text
[19:10] <hobgoblin> elobee: ok - well I am not sure then - I'd go back to the forum if no-one else comes along in here
[19:10] <hobgoblin> I'm off now - sorry not to be of much help
[19:11] <elobee> thanks anyway
[21:36] <ubuntu_> hello harrison
[21:36] <harrison> hello
[21:36] <harrison> how did things go?
[22:32] <harrison> ubuntu_ still there?
[22:38] <stew[1]> Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my notebook using a USB stick and I can get to the main menu and chose to install, but after that the screen goes blank. I think the problem has to do with the Intel HD graphics in my laptop. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[23:31] <chinceynugget> So im getting a laptop for uni, and have come across ubuntu and kubuntu. What would people recommend, is either better than the other?
[23:38] <aveilleux> chinceynugget: Well the differences between KDE and GNOME (Ubuntu's primary graphical environment) is mostly cosmetic... There is a small performance difference (GNOME is a little better on resources but KDE looks better) but it's really what you like better.
[23:38] <aveilleux> are mostly*
[23:39] <aveilleux> chinceynugget: There's a very large and in-depth debate over which approach to a desktop environment is better, GNOME's or KDE's. I suggest you try them both and pick the one you like best ;-)
[23:42] <chinceynugget> cheers lads!
[23:43] <aveilleux> You're welcome...
