[00:19] <divertedd> is it true that i cant compile sourcecode without a configure-file?
[00:20] <divertedd> the sourcecode came from a .tar.gz file
[00:36] <duanedesign> divertedd: does the code come with a Read Me?
[00:40] <duanedesign> divertedd: If no configure file exists at all, you might want to check for the existence of a configure.ac file (although you should, first of all, read the INSTALL and README files very carefully!). If configure.ac exists, chances are that the developer has forgot to create the final configure. To create it yourself, you need the autoconf package.
[00:40] <duanedesign> sudo apt-get install autoconf
[00:41] <duanedesign> After it is installed, you can type :   autoconf
[00:41] <duanedesign> and, if you're lucky, a working configure will be created.
[00:42] <duanedesign> this might help. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware
[00:52] <chewable> hi
[00:52] <chewable> My ubuntu is stuck on booting. it dumps out on a initramfs shell
[00:53] <chewable> how do I get to recovery mode?
[00:55] <chewable> hi
[01:02] <duanedesign> chewable: while booting i think it is esc key to get to grub menu
[01:09] <chewable> ok, I did that and got 3 options. my hard drive and my cd drive listed in this box in the middle of the screen
[01:09] <chewable> and the 3rd is the 2nd hard drive
[01:12] <chewable> after selecting boot device on the screen, I get the same result (back to the initramfs shell). I'm reading that this problem is caused by the kernel upgrade?
[01:17] <chewable> duanedesign: it seems that typing "exit" and hitting enter resumes the boot -- so I guess this is solved. At least long enough to back up the files and then reinstall fresh to see if I can avoid this boot bug.
[01:18] <chewable> I'll go post the result and thanks
[03:38] <Karuption> hey
[03:40] <Karuption> how do you see the processes
[03:40] <Karuption> via commandline
[03:42] <aveilleux> Karuption: You can use the ps command to view all of them, or ps |grep <term> to search for a particular process
[03:44] <Karuption> also, why doesnt Ubuntu tweak work with the latest 646 bit desktop
[03:46] <aveilleux> Karuption: How do you mean? It works fine for me.
[03:49] <Karuption> its not working like at all
[03:49] <aveilleux> Karuption: That doesn't tell me very much. How did you install it? How did you run it?
[03:49] <Karuption> i updated the packages then installed and it doesnt work along with gdesklets
[03:50] <Karuption> apps -> system tools -> ubuntutweal
[03:50] <aveilleux> Karuption: How did you install it?
[03:50] <Karuption> commandline
[03:50] <aveilleux> Karuption: What process did you use
[03:51] <Karuption> wget http://ubuntu-tweak.googlecode.com/files/ubuntu-tweak_0.2.6-1~ppa1_all.deb; sudo dpkg -i ubuntu-tweak_0.2.6-1~ppa1_all.deb
[03:52] <aveilleux> 0.2.6? That's really old
[03:52] <Karuption> idk it was on a site haha
[03:52] <aveilleux> Karuption: uninstall it (sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-tweak) and follow this guide http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-tweak-0-5-6-beta-in-ubuntu-10-049-10.html
[03:53] <Karuption> is purge better than remove? because thats what i have been using
[03:54] <aveilleux> Karuption: It removes the configuration in /etc as well, so it cleans more thoroughly
[03:54] <Karuption> ahh
[03:55] <Karuption> just switched over too Ubuntu a few days ago
[03:55] <Karuption> perfect :D thanks
[03:55] <aveilleux> Karuption: No problem
[03:57] <Karuption> gdesklets isnt workign ether
[03:59] <aveilleux> Karuption: The GNOME widgets thing? I'm not too familiar with it, sorry
[03:59] <Karuption> its cool

[09:53] <augustk> does anyone know how to start ubuntu 10.04 without gui (temporarily)?
[10:19] <aaa__> hi
[10:21] <aaa__> hello after I used GParted and done some moving around of partitions now XP won't boot on my multiboot pc, it shows \ntldr problem ,  how to fix it?
[10:23] <aaa__> anyone please
[11:57] <duanedesign> good morning
[11:59] <Silver_Fox_> Hello.
[12:02] <Silver_Fox_> How are you duanedesign  ?
[12:02] <duanedesign> good good
[12:04] <Silver_Fox_> Great.
[12:30] <Abhijeet> kernel deleted accidently, how can i copy the packages from the damaged system using live cd or fresh innstallation please help me.
[12:31] <Silver_Fox_> Hello. As stated yesterday, try chroot.
[12:31] <Silver_Fox_> Did that not work for you?
[12:32] <Silver_Fox_> Was nobody in #ubuntu+1 able to help you ?
[12:33] <Abhijeet> sorry it didn't worked im planning the fresh innstallation , but before that i want to copy the packages which i had innstalled in it.
[12:35] <JDE_> Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a (currently dead) Windows laptop, but will only be able to install to it's hard drive via another PC. Any ideas on how to do this?
[12:39] <geirha> It can't boot a CD or USB?
[12:39] <Abhijeet> i was entered in the #ubuntu+1 but it was flooded , no one helped me.I have decided to install it freshly.But i want to get back the softwares which i had installed in the system, becuase i worked very hard for installing google earth , picasa 3.8, vuze and many more softwares.
[12:39] <geirha> !install
[12:39] <ubot2> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[12:40] <JDE_> The dead laptop says that it can't install from the CD (the usual download method), and won't boot into Windows to try Wubi or anything. Typical PC. lol
[12:42] <JDE_> Just to actually answer the question, no, it won't boot from the CD
 please help me to get back the packages from the damages system.
[12:44] <geirha> JDE_: Then how did windows get installed?
[12:46] <JDE_> Windows was on the laptop before from ages ago, but got corrupted and won't boot. That's why I want to change to Linux
[12:47] <philinux> Abhijeet: In the chroot you can just install the missing kernel.
[12:47] <geirha> JDE_: I've never heard of a laptop that has a CD drive that can't boot from CD, so that's a bit baffling. Do you know if it can boot PXE?
[12:47] <JDE_> Geirha: At the moment, I have a clean, empty hard drive on my desk, but no way of knowing how to install to it without affecting the setup of another PC
[12:48] <philinux> Abhijeet: or just run update-grub if it has not been purged.
[12:48] <geirha> JDE_: Oh, and you want to install ubuntu on that, then put it in the laptop?
[12:48] <JDE_> Yes
[12:49] <geirha> JDE_: Ah, well then you just need to connect it to a computer where you can boot the CD and install Ubuntu on that drive.
[12:49] <geirha> JDE_: However, on the last step of the installer
[12:49] <geirha> There's an Advanced button. You need to click that to get the options on where to install the boot loader.
[12:50] <JDE_> Oh, OK.
[12:50] <geirha> Make sure you change that to install the bootloader to the same harddrive
[12:50] <Abhijeet> no i have tried many  times , therefore i have decided to install ubuntu freshly. please help me about how i can copy  the packages in the fresh installation , the required libraries or as a whole packages including the required packages
[12:50] <geirha> The default is to install the bootloader on the "main" disk, regardless of which disk you install Ubuntu on
[12:50] <JDE_> OK, that sounds easier than I was expecting!
[12:50] <Abhijeet> sorry read it as 'required packages including the libraries'
[12:52] <JDE_> Geirha: Thanks for the help, I was just expecting a little more fuss after using Windows for so long!
[12:55] <philinux> Abhijeet: Just one link from google "ubuntu backup installed packages" . https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware#Backup/Restore%20installed%20packages
[14:54] <Silver_Fox_> Back later.
[15:06] <Talib_> Hi
[15:06] <Talib_> may I ask some Ubuntu help here?
[15:11] <Talib_> any1?
[15:13] <Talib_> k. I consider myself a windows power user trying to learn linux with Ubuntu and have 3 questions...
[15:13] <Talib_> 1) I have read that /usr/sbin is like program files, my question is why no sub directories in there. It seems a bit disorganized?
[15:14] <Talib_> 2) I install build-essentials via apt-get, where are the files installed?
[15:14] <Talib_> 3)dang, forgot what question 3 was
[17:24] <boywonder> hi,can i use gparted to partition a usb drive
[17:24] <boywonder> ?
[17:25] <Silver_Fox_> Hello.
[17:29] <Verminator> boywonder, yes, I have done it in the last few weeks to a 250GB external USB drive
[19:04] <blackshell> is there a alternative for man command?
[19:13] <Verminator> blackshell, I dont think so off the top of my head, but I have to ask, why?
[19:15] <Verminator> blackshell, you could try apropos or whatis
[19:16] <blackshell> can info be used for that purpose?
