| ClassicWizzard | hello?? | 03:23 |
| stlsaint | ClassicWizzard: hello | 03:23 |
| ClassicWizzard | oh yah! the pidgeon has taken flight | 03:24 |
| ClassicWizzard | I have no clue what I am doing | 03:24 |
| stlsaint | ClassicWizzard: thats cool..you made it here so thats a good start | 03:25 |
| ClassicWizzard | not sure how i got here... didn't enter half the passwords .... feel a bit clueless | 03:25 |
| ClassicWizzard | I am running it under windows... | 03:26 |
| ClassicWizzard | can I ask ubuntu questions here?? | 03:26 |
| stlsaint | ClassicWizzard: heck yea man fire away | 03:26 |
| ClassicWizzard | well, I have V8 installed... but I had to reinstall windows XP. It blew away the grub thing. I gave up on linux for a while but want to go back at it again. I made the V10 ISO but I am not sure how to install it over the V8. I can't boot to the V8 because of the XP install. | 03:27 |
| zkriesse | just stick the disk in | 03:28 |
| zkriesse | Erase the partition if you don't want to keep anything | 03:28 |
| zkriesse | but thats all I can say | 03:28 |
| zkriesse | must eat dinner | 03:28 |
| zkriesse | HUNGRY! | 03:28 |
| ClassicWizzard | i did, it gives me 3 options: erase the whole disk... install alongside V8 and XP, and custom. I tried custom but it gives me a "root" error/not identified.. or soemthing | 03:29 |
| ClassicWizzard | I have 4 linux partitions medium one, real small one, ext3 (small) and ext4 | 03:30 |
| ClassicWizzard | the ext4 is large | 03:30 |
| ClassicWizzard | the first one is the boot one but it is like the CD doesn't recognize the /root | 03:31 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: /root is the user, root's home directory... Do you mean the CD isn't recognizing the partition's root directory? | 03:33 |
| ClassicWizzard | i think so... i went to custom... saw the partitions... I don't need to change them... so I said "forward" and it gave me the error. | 03:34 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: What are you trying to do, install Ubuntu? | 03:34 |
| ClassicWizzard | yes, V10 over an existing V8 | 03:34 |
| aveilleux | I assume you mean 10.04 over 8.04 | 03:35 |
| ClassicWizzard | yes, both are LTS versions | 03:35 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: So you're updating? Hm. What error are you being given? | 03:35 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: No need to PM me. So you're doing a clean install? | 03:37 |
| ClassicWizzard | sorry, don't know this tool at all | 03:37 |
| haywire | ClassicWizzard, If you don't care about any files in your old version, it might be just as simple to run Gparted, and delete the partition where 8.04 is currently, and re-create it. The good news is that since Windoze(r) was installed first, it will not bulldoze over your Grub this time.. | 03:38 |
| ClassicWizzard | well, yah, i could do a clean install | 03:38 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: So, can you run it by me again? You installed Windows, and now you're trying to install 10.04 over it, or..? | 03:38 |
| ClassicWizzard | yah, over v8 | 03:39 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: So, no. You have 8.04 installed on one partition, and Xp installed on another. Now you're trying to install 10.04 over the 8.04, but leave XP alone? | 03:39 |
| ClassicWizzard | that is correct | 03:40 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: So, what error are you being given again? The exact wording (or as close as you can), please | 03:40 |
| ClassicWizzard | I didn't re-partition, since I didn't need to... when I hit the "forward" button it said it couldn't find the root directory or something. | 03:41 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: You have to select one partition for use as the root directory. | 03:41 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: You can't just hit "next", you have to select at least one partition | 03:42 |
| ClassicWizzard | well, i want to use the V8 one... and I couldn't find where I selected it | 03:42 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: Can you rephrase that please? | 03:42 |
| ClassicWizzard | in fact the reformat boxes were greyed out | 03:42 |
| ClassicWizzard | well, version 8 has the / directory | 03:43 |
| ClassicWizzard | I want version 10 to use the same one | 03:43 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: Well, coming from a different perspective | 03:43 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: Have you tried installing GRUB onto the drive, then booting into 8.04 and upgrading? | 03:44 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: You can do a dist-upgrade | 03:44 |
| ClassicWizzard | I was thinking about that.... but after reading the grub fix documentation I decided that I would never get that right | 03:44 |
| ClassicWizzard | it starts with running V10 then trying to figure out what version of grub I used before | 03:45 |
| ClassicWizzard | it was pretty complicated | 03:45 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: It's not hard, just boot into the LiveCD and then run sudo grub-install /dev/<name of hard drive> | 03:45 |
| ClassicWizzard | you have to know the drive partition number and some other stuff | 03:46 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: Well, what partition is Ubuntu installed onto? /dev/sda1,2,3? | 03:46 |
| ClassicWizzard | it doesn't say... it is in the second logical partition | 03:47 |
| ClassicWizzard | I have an NTFS (XP) and then the rest is linux | 03:47 |
| ClassicWizzard | I have the root (125Gig) a real small partition (forget what that is for) .ext3 which is small, then a ext4 for files | 03:48 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: Um, can you look at the drive in GParted? It should tell you what filesystem is is, as well as the partition number. | 03:48 |
| ClassicWizzard | gparted runs in windows? | 03:48 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: No, it's on the LiveCD. | 03:48 |
| ClassicWizzard | I gave up on the live cd when I couldnt get the IRC chat client to work | 03:48 |
| ClassicWizzard | it wanted to use somethign like mimibit or something | 03:49 |
| ClassicWizzard | it got on but it was like I was the only person on | 03:49 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: Are you sure you entered the room information correctly? Any misspelling would result in an empty room. | 03:49 |
| haywire | ClassicWizzard, check out the video by NixiePixel over on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtBBl6HvdpM&p=7EF60DF0E207125C&playnext=1&index=2 You might be able to reinstall GRUB and get your 8.04 back without deleting anything. | 03:50 |
| ClassicWizzard | I clicked on it from the ubuntu web site... it asks for an application, offers mimibits (or something like that) .. freenode fails the first time then the second time you are in ghost town | 03:51 |
| ClassicWizzard | ok, i'll watch it then be back after... thanks | 03:52 |
| haywire | ClassicWizzard, I ran into the same problem - it only happens when Windows is installed AFTER linux. It takes over the MBR. If windows is there first, and you resize and create a partition for linux, etc. - Grub works properly, but there is a way to regain GRUB's control over the MBR - see the vid... | 03:52 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: I find text guides are better ;-) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 03:53 |
| haywire | aveilleux, I agree... I am a newbie myself, and if there is a 50/50 chance of something going wrong, guess which end of it I usually end up on ;-) | 03:54 |
| aveilleux | haywire: There's a 99% chance anything you need to know is covered in the Ubuntu community docs | 03:54 |
| ClassicWizzard | I will backup my XP then try to re-grub my version 8 | 03:55 |
| ClassicWizzard | the nixie~chick has inspired me | 03:55 |
| haywire | I am finding that out... Linux support = great, and growing :-) Linux OS - Very Stable and Desirable... Linux apps. Very acceptable (to me)... Linux supported hardware :-( | 03:56 |
| ClassicWizzard | thanks for the help | 03:56 |
| haywire | NixiePixel is not hard to look at either, and SMART! | 03:56 |
| ClassicWizzard | yah | 03:56 |
| ClassicWizzard | lol | 03:56 |
| ClassicWizzard | well, ubuntu for gamers might not be the trick but for basic computer users it is good and I really want to conquer it better the second time | 03:57 |
| aveilleux | ClassicWizzard: Well hey, Source games work fine through WINE, and that's all I care about really | 03:59 |
| ClassicWizzard | I get excited about linux but then when I get stuck I feel stupid compared to windows.... it is just something I need to conquer | 04:00 |
| haywire | I have one machine with an unsupported video card (yuck) and an HP All in One 5610xi printer that is on a windows machine I have been unable to print to from any linux machine... I hate the hardware situation. Also, Magicjack is Yet unsupported natively in linux, even though their website promised 1st quarter 2010 support... Hmmm I wonder when their 1st quarter starts, 'cause I am tired of rebooting my windoze machine runnin | 04:00 |
| haywire | g the MJ. | 04:00 |
| aveilleux | haywire: 1st quarter fiscally is June | 04:01 |
| haywire | They're a little behind...if ever...I'm anxiously awaiting. If more hdwe were supported, I'd literally pull the plug on windoze. | 04:02 |
| aveilleux | haywire: An HP printer not working on LUbuntu? That's really weird | 04:02 |
| aveilleux | s/LUbuntu/Ubuntu | 04:02 |
| aveilleux | haywire: Have you seen this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne | 04:03 |
| haywire | Yeah... I think (but haven't taken the time to prove) it would work fine hooked to the linux box locally, but is unable to use the printshare from my Vista machine. | 04:03 |
| aveilleux | haywire: Have you set up printer shating in Samba? | 04:03 |
| haywire | All the doc's say the HPLIP printing package works fine on this as a local printer, but share printing is not supported. I suspect it may even be more of a Vista issue than a print driver issue, 'cause the thing came with a seperate install disk for Vista. | 04:04 |
| aveilleux | haywire Ohhhh yeah, I remember printer sharing with Windows is a HUGE hassle | 04:04 |
| aveilleux | haywure: Er, I mean, shared printers with HP | 04:05 |
| haywire | Yes, print share easily confirms the communication, wakes up the printer then everything hangs, and I have to kill the spooler on the vista machine | 04:05 |
| aveilleux | haywire: I have an HP printer as well; it's the reason I don't use Windows for printing anymore | 04:06 |
| haywire | Funny thing is, my XP os on this same machine is o.k., and wife's Laptop can share it (Vista) too (Sometimes :-) - too bad we can't get a linux driver able to do the same... | 04:06 |
| aveilleux | haywire: HP likes Windows more :-P | 04:07 |
| haywire | Yeah, at least they make the effort to support linux, but their loyalties go where the royalties are...ryme intended... | 04:08 |
| haywire | I impressed some friends today at work with Puppy... had a Dell laptop ughhh... i know... with it's 2nd bad hard drive in 4 months...booted up Puppy, pulled out the CD and was on the web with NO drives in the machine...had 'em all scratchin' thier heads ;-) | 04:10 |
| kerdal_ | what do i need to put videos on my ipod using rhythmbox or sojmething else? | 04:15 |
| aveilleux | kerdal_: What model iPod? | 04:15 |
| kerdal_ | 80g hold on not the touch one | 04:18 |
| aveilleux | kerdal_: The generation is very important in determining compatibility with Linux | 04:19 |
| kerdal_ | let me see what it says. | 04:19 |
| seidos | kerdal_, was it formatted in a windows machine? | 04:20 |
| seidos | kerdal_, i think we have the same ipod. i have an 80GB, i think it's a 5th gen | 04:20 |
| kerdal_ | yes, a very long time ago. and then stop using it | 04:20 |
| seidos | kerdal_, well, it's good because ubuntu can't format it. | 04:21 |
| aveilleux | seidos: There are several generations of 80GB iPods :-P | 04:21 |
| seidos | at least not presently | 04:21 |
| seidos | aveilleux, and ubuntu probably can't format any of them \o/ | 04:21 |
| seidos | aveilleux, how many? | 04:21 |
| aveilleux | seidos: Actually, Ubuntu can handle almost all of them. And... Three? Four? More than one, I know that much | 04:22 |
| seidos | aveilleux, what do you mean by "handle" do you mean "format"? | 04:22 |
| kerdal_ | let me check kk | 04:22 |
| aveilleux | seidos: No, not at all. I mean manage the media. Songs, videos, etc | 04:22 |
| kerdal_ | sorry didn't know I would need to know. | 04:22 |
| seidos | kerdal_, knowing is good | 04:23 |
| kerdal_ | fifth gen classic | 04:30 |
| nhandler | kerdal_: Rhythmbox will work for Music. gtkpod will handle music+videos. Banshee either supports it (or the new version that comes out in < 24 hours will) | 04:31 |
| kerdal_ | okay, i will take a look as fiddle around with it. now to update my software, an hopefully it doesn't wipe out my ipod. | 04:32 |
| kerdal_ | i have two computers, one that runs windows (which I don't like to much) and UB for this one. | 04:34 |
| kerdal_ | thank you very much have a good night. | 04:34 |
| seidos | how do i import music from my ipod to the filesystem? | 05:51 |

| duanedesign | good morning all | 12:14 |

| augustk | With the Language Support application I have chosen English for menus and windows and Swedish for numbers, dates and currency amounts, still Firefox and Thunderbird use Swedish menus. any clues? | 13:18 |
| duanedesign | hello augustk | 13:22 |
| augustk | hi duane | 13:23 |
| duanedesign | augustk: i am no master of locale settings, I just started using them recently | 13:25 |
| duanedesign | do you have the package: mozilla-firefox-locale-sv-se | 13:25 |
| duanedesign | oh i see, you have the opposite problem. | 13:25 |
| duanedesign | It is showing Swedish properly | 13:26 |
| geirha | augustk: Run the following in a terminal: echo "LANGUAGE=$LANGUAGE"; echo "LANG=$LANG" | 13:26 |
| augustk | $ locale | 13:28 |
| augustk | LANG=sv_SE.utf8 | 13:28 |
| augustk | LANGUAGE=en_GB:en | 13:28 |
| augustk | LC_CTYPE="sv_SE.utf8" | 13:28 |
| augustk | LC_NUMERIC="sv_SE.utf8" | 13:28 |
| augustk | LC_TIME="sv_SE.utf8" | 13:28 |
| augustk | LC_COLLATE="sv_SE.utf8" | 13:28 |
| augustk | LC_MONETARY="sv_SE.utf8" | 13:28 |
| augustk | LC_MESSAGES="sv_SE.utf8" | 13:28 |
| augustk | LC_PAPER="sv_SE.utf8" | 13:28 |
| augustk | LC_NAME="sv_SE.utf8" | 13:28 |
| augustk | LC_ADDRESS="sv_SE.utf8" | 13:28 |
| augustk | LC_TELEPHONE="sv_SE.utf8" | 13:28 |
| augustk | LC_MEASUREMENT="sv_SE.utf8" | 13:28 |
| augustk | LC_IDENTIFICATION="sv_SE.utf8" | 13:29 |
| augustk | LC_ALL= | 13:29 |
| Puck` | augustk: http://paste.ubuntu.com please pate it there and give us the link | 13:29 |
| geirha | Right, forgot that locale also outputs those two variables :) | 13:29 |
| geirha | LC_MESSAGES is set to swedish. Try (with firefox closed): LC_MESSAGE=en_GB.utf8 firefox | 13:30 |
| augustk | i think the language selector should set LC_MESSAGES to english as well | 13:30 |
| geirha | I think it should too. | 13:31 |
| augustk | yes, this works: LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.utf8 firefox | 13:32 |
| augustk | on the other hand gedit e.g. uses english menus | 13:33 |
| augustk | seems like some applications are looking at LANGUAGE and others at LC_MESSAGES | 13:33 |
| augustk | i have actually reported this "bug" in launchpad (if it is a bug that is) | 13:35 |
| augustk | ok, thanks geirha and duane for your help so far | 13:40 |

| hobgoblin | harrisonk: in what respect? | 19:51 |
| philinux | Hi all, Ok, portrait photo's in nautilus get turned the right way up, is there a way to not do this | 19:52 |
| harrisonk | creating pages and the such | 19:53 |
| hobgoblin | harrisonk: not sure what information you had previously - been here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ | 19:53 |
| hobgoblin | but if it just a page here and there I think just produce them - it is a community affair after all | 19:54 |
| harrisonk | yes I have been there. | 19:54 |
| hobgoblin | really depends how deep you want to go I would say | 19:54 |
| harrisonk | what I want to do is create my own wiki page. | 19:55 |
| hobgoblin | oic | 19:55 |
| hobgoblin | then - just produce it | 19:55 |
| harrisonk | follow this motto I guess: try and if it works great, if it doesn't then try again. | 19:56 |
| hobgoblin | if you have an openid - eg launchpad account - login - go to the page you want - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/harrisonk for instance - it will tell you it does not exist and ask if you want to create one | 19:56 |
| hobgoblin | then away you go | 19:57 |
| harrisonk | okay | 19:57 |
| hobgoblin | you could use someone elses as a template and then edit it | 19:57 |
| hobgoblin | basically open someone else's - while logged in - then pretend to edit - copy it then edit yours and paste it | 19:58 |

| satyajeet | hi | 21:48 |
| aveilleux | hello satyajeet | 21:48 |
| satyajeet | hi aveilleux | 21:48 |
| satyajeet | well lucid runs slow on my computer... so i | 21:49 |
| satyajeet | installed ubuntu server 10.04 64 bit.. | 21:49 |
| zkriesse | satyajeet: need help? | 21:49 |
| aveilleux | !ask |satyajeet | 21:49 |
| ubot2 | satyajeet: 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. :-) | 21:49 |
| satyajeet | and then | 21:49 |
| satyajeet | i did sudo apt-get install lxde | 21:49 |
| satyajeet | cuz i knew lxde was lightweight | 21:49 |
| satyajeet | i dint want gnome | 21:50 |
| satyajeet | so on my next reboot the computer runs fine | 21:50 |
| satyajeet | lxde starts automatically. | 21:50 |
| satyajeet | but | 21:50 |
| satyajeet | sometimes when i am seeing a movie or something like that in vlc | 21:50 |
| aveilleux | satyajeet: Can you try typing your problem all on one line? It makes it easier to follow | 21:51 |
| satyajeet | aveilleux, it'll be a one big line | 21:51 |
| satyajeet | aveilleux, but i willll | 21:51 |
| satyajeet | so sometimes when i see a movie or something like that it unpredictably removes the default panel, also only the current windows that are open stay responsive, i cannot open anything else or start any other thing, if i close the responsive active windows i cannot start them again, and just after i have closed all my active still resposive (good) windows the whole desktop reverts to the openbox window manager (the right click menu and all..) , | 21:56 |
| satyajeet | but even after that i cannot start any application, | 21:56 |
| satyajeet | i also cannot reboot/shut down | 21:57 |
| satyajeet | i am forced to do a hard reboot | 21:57 |
| satyajeet | this has been observed only while running vlc media player, | 21:58 |
| satyajeet | that too like after an hour of watching video | 21:58 |
| satyajeet | sometimes less sometimes more.. | 21:59 |
| stlsaint | way to go aveilleux scare off the op | 22:03 |
| aveilleux | :( | 22:03 |
| stlsaint | i dont suggest using lxde as package install....go with lubuntu :D | 22:04 |
| aveilleux | That just sounded... not a great setup | 22:06 |
| aveilleux | s/sounded/sounded\ like | 22:06 |
| stlsaint | i use different DE's also but its all in how you config :D | 22:15 |
| aveilleux | stlsaint: I use XDM for my manager... it's so much easier to configure non-GNOME or -KDE environments to use XDM | 22:16 |
| stlsaint | niffty | 22:22 |
