| yvonne_ | i have a problem where my sound is only coming out of my right speaker in my lucid install (even though when i check it w/ the lucid liveCD both speakers work. anyone have any ideas how to fix this? | 03:06 |
|---|---|---|
| AndrewMC | yvonne_: go to Sound Preferences: System> Preferences> Sound | 03:13 |
| AndrewMC | then output and make sure balance is in the middle | 03:13 |
| yvonne_ | AndrewMC: okay i'll do that now... | 03:14 |
| yvonne_ | AndrewMC: okay, yes its in the center. if i move it to the left i loss sound entirely. its all coming through the right speaker right now. | 03:15 |
| AndrewMC | hmm | 03:15 |
| AndrewMC | yvonne_: go to Hardware and there should be your sound card listed there.... what is currently selected in the dropdown below it | 03:16 |
| yvonne_ | AndrewMC: checking... | 03:16 |
| yvonne_ | AndrewMC: Analog Stereo Output | 03:17 |
| AndrewMC | yvonne_: huh | 03:18 |
| yvonne_ | AndrewMC: i just tried changing it to Analog Stereo Duplex but no noticeable effect | 03:18 |
| yvonne_ | AndrewMC: okay i just discovered something | 03:19 |
| AndrewMC | yvonne_: yes...? | 03:20 |
| yvonne_ | i have two devices listed for output | 03:20 |
| AndrewMC | try both | 03:20 |
| yvonne_ | it was on LADSPA Plugin Multiband EQ on Internal Audio Analog Stereo: Stereo | 03:21 |
| yvonne_ | When i put it on Internal Audio Analog Stereo: Stereo i get both channels | 03:21 |
| AndrewMC | try the other one see if it changes anything | 03:21 |
| AndrewMC | yvonne_: so your all set =D | 03:21 |
| yvonne_ | yup, that gets me going. Thanks AndrewMC | 03:22 |
| AndrewMC | yvonne_: np you are welcome to come around anytime | 03:22 |
| yvonne_ | AndrewMC: something else interesting -- when i switched it put the balance all the way to the right -- which seemed to be in fact what was happening. So i moved to to the middle and in works. | 03:23 |
| AndrewMC | yvonne_: odd | 03:24 |
| yvonne_ | AndrewMC: but even more -- now i was able to switch back to the other device and now it worked properly with both channels working. | 03:24 |
| johnny_ | I have a question: If I have a hard drive that is already partitioned can I install a dual boot with windows on the second partition without messing up the first? | 03:24 |
| yvonne_ | AndrewMC: i wish i knew the steps taken to get it into that bug-state. Then i could report the bug and the work around. | 03:25 |
| yvonne_ | maybe i will anyway. | 03:25 |
| AndrewMC | yvonne_: yes please do report that | 03:25 |
| yvonne_ | thanks AndrewMC | 03:25 |
| AndrewMC | johnny_: ya you can install windows on that seprate partition and use this article to recover GRUB (ubuntu boot loader): http://j.mp/ddE70i | 03:26 |
| stlsaint | sup folks | 03:27 |
| johnny_ | AndrewMC: Windows is already on the first partition. Have old computer want to experiment with Ubuntu without messing up the windows install. | 03:28 |
| AndrewMC | johnny_: oh ya you can do that have ubuntu install alongside windows | 03:29 |
| AndrewMC | are the partions already in place | 03:29 |
| johnny_ | AndrewMC: Yes, the partitions are already in place. Did a small search and can only find stuff about resizing partitions & making new ones. I don't want to do that. | 03:30 |
| AndrewMC | johnny_: let me boot a live CD and look for you... i know there is a simple way to do this | 03:31 |
| AndrewMC | johnny_: i will be back soon | 03:32 |
| johnny_ | AndrewMC: Thank you. I already have the CD ready. Just a little nervous. I know nothing about Ubuntu or Linux, but always wanted to try out. | 03:32 |
| AndrewMC | johnny_: you till there? | 03:38 |
| johnny_ | i'm here | 03:38 |
| robbmunson | o/ =) | 03:38 |
| AndrewMC | johnny_: ok then you go in with the live CD by the looks of it you say specify partitions maunally and chose the one you want ubuntu on... back up windows to be sure but that seems to be the way to do it | 03:39 |
| AndrewMC | say that its a ext4 file system and mount point is / (on the ubuntu partition | 03:39 |
| johnny_ | ok, thanks. Is this something crucial I should know before I get started with Ubuntu? | 03:40 |
| robbmunson | well, for starters, it is most certainly not windows and doesnt try to act like it, I say this not to be rude, but just to inform you that when you first try to open up your software that "used to work"....it's probably not gonna do such now, unless you install WINE....but thats a different conversation..... | 03:42 |
| * robbmunson pokes head back to my firefox =) | 03:42 | |
| AndrewMC | johnny_: if you just want TRY ubuntu use wubi | 03:42 |
| AndrewMC | then if you like it dual boot it | 03:42 |
| AndrewMC | !wubi | 03:43 |
| ubot2 | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 03:43 |
| johnny_ | what is wubi? | 03:43 |
| AndrewMC | it is a good way to get to know ubuntu to see if you like it | 03:43 |
| robbmunson | it stands for "Windows UBuntu Installer" | 03:44 |
| AndrewMC | it easier to get rid of then a dual booting | 03:44 |
| robbmunson | ^ +1 | 03:44 |
| johnny_ | So I download wubi and install it like a windows program? | 03:44 |
| robbmunson | yep | 03:44 |
| AndrewMC | johnny_: exactly | 03:44 |
| AndrewMC | then if you like it dual boot and install on your other partition | 03:44 |
| AndrewMC | if you dont like it its just a matter of uninstalling it from add/remove programs | 03:45 |
| johnny_ | so I can even install in on my computer, then if I like it I can install it as a dual boot on the old computer. right? | 03:46 |
| robbmunson | yep | 03:46 |
| robbmunson | exactly | 03:46 |
| AndrewMC | johnny_: yep if you dont like it easy to remove... love it take a live cd and do like i said and install in your other partition | 03:47 |
| AndrewMC | simple as that :) | 03:48 |
| robbmunson | johnny_: of course there is always the option of getting the cd from shipit, rebooting your computer and trying it out (it wont touch your hard drive unless you specifically tell it to.) | 03:48 |
| robbmunson | but....that takes a bit of time to get the cd depending on where you live. | 03:48 |
| johnny_ | When I use Wubi it would run like another program, but would be like an OS? Once I run it, how do I say get on the internet? | 03:48 |
| AndrewMC | johnny_: do you have a downloaded live CD? | 03:49 |
| johnny_ | yes, I've tried running that but it seemed choppy as it was always accessing the CD. | 03:50 |
| robbmunson | johnny_: have you tried xubuntu? | 03:50 |
| robbmunson | !xubuntu | 03:50 |
| ubot2 | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 03:50 |
| AndrewMC | robbmunson: he is talking that the live CD was slow not the OS | 03:51 |
| robbmunson | hmm......blahhhhhhhhhh | 03:51 |
| AndrewMC | johnny_: so in nutshell.... Install Wubi... if you dont like ubuntu remove wubi from add/remove programs and it is gone | 03:52 |
| robbmunson | USB install? | 03:52 |
| johnny_ | If I install Wubi, can I install Linux versions of apps inside it? | 03:53 |
| AndrewMC | johnny_: ya ya | 03:53 |
| johnny_ | no USB drive big enough... say i need min 2g. | 03:53 |
| robbmunson | yep, wubi is just gonna give you an ubuntu install in a "windows form" | 03:53 |
| robbmunson | basically install it like a program but your computer recognizes it as another OS :) | 03:54 |
| AndrewMC | if you love ubuntu... remove wubi... and install on your other partition | 03:54 |
| robbmunson | so when it installs and you restart...you go to Ubuntu...and you can do everything exactly like you have a working real ubuntu install. | 03:54 |
| johnny_ | Ok, thanks so much guys. That really helps me decide what I can do. | 03:55 |
| robbmunson | johnny_: quite welcome! | 03:55 |
| AndrewMC | johnny_: feel free to come back anytime | 03:55 |
| robbmunson | ^ I second that | 03:55 |
| johnny_ | ok, I will. nect time in Ubuntu. :) | 03:55 |
| johnny_ | oops meant next. | 03:56 |
| labowsky | okay so my system menu doesnt have anything in it except help about gnome and stuff, but when i also click on applications nothing comes down. | 04:15 |
| labowsky | already tried restoring it to default | 04:15 |
| labowsky | any ideas? | 04:15 |
| labowsky | anyone? | 04:16 |

| joelsanda | Hey there - trying out the Netbook Edition on my Acer Aspire One netbook. Successfully installed the OS from the iso on my usb stick but it appears (?!) my BIOS doesn't have an option for changing boot order. I've *never* seen a BIOS not present options for boot order, wondering if anyone has experience with this problem. | 07:59 |
| geirha | You have a netbook with multiple harddrives? | 08:01 |
| joelsanda | One HD | 08:01 |
| joelsanda | No CD | 08:02 |
| geirha | Oh, but it won't boot the USB-pen you put the iso on? | 08:02 |
| joelsanda | No, won't boot from that. Nor can I specify booting from USB in the BIOS. | 08:03 |
| joelsanda | I know this is more of an Acer BIOS question, but figured someone with Ubuntu experience may have seen this before | 08:04 |
| geirha | There's no boot menu either? | 08:05 |
| geirha | Like, instead of entering the bios setupt, there's usually another button that will trigger a boot menu | 08:06 |
| hobgoblin | try F12 | 08:06 |
| joelsanda | Not that I've seen, but I'll google that and try F12 at boot. It's Win 7 Starter Edition - maybe they stripped that out, too :-) | 08:07 |
| geirha | Check the manual | 08:08 |
| hobgoblin | I got f12 from looking on google ... | 08:08 |
| joelsanda | OK - thanks, geirha and hobgoblin. gonna reboot now and give F12 a shot. Thanks :-) | 08:09 |

| Jerk | I recently downloaded a Ubuntu 10.04 iso file preloaded with apps, and burned it on a DVD. I am attempting to boot the pc from it, but it just hangs, or restarts automatically. I am running WinXP currently, so can someone please tell me how to install Ubuntu from the DVD WHILE running my windows session? | 15:49 |
| stlsaint | Jerk: you are wanting to do a whube install | 15:50 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Did you burn it as an image ir data disk ? | 15:50 |
| stlsaint | lol....whube...i so meant wubi | 15:51 |
| Silver_Fox_ | stlsaint, Jerk requires assistance now while s/he is running windows. | 15:52 |
| stlsaint | Jerk: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide | 15:52 |
| stlsaint | Jerk: ^^ | 15:52 |
| Silver_Fox_ | No need for wubi... | 15:52 |
| stlsaint | how to install Ubuntu from the DVD WHILE running my windows session? | 15:53 |
| stlsaint | Silver_Fox_: ^^ i figured that meant wubi | 15:53 |
| stlsaint | ah shucks | 15:54 |
| * Silver_Fox_ waits for goblins comment ;) | 15:56 | |
| hobgoblin | jerk - is this actually an ubuntu iso? | 15:56 |
| hobgoblin | you have two options - install while inside windows or install when you boot with it | 15:57 |
| hobgoblin | oh they've gone | 15:57 |
| Jerk_ | aw | 15:58 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Welcome back Jerk_ :) | 15:58 |
| Mohan_chml | hobgoblin: there you go.. =] | 15:58 |
| hobgoblin | jerk - is this actually an ubuntu iso? | 15:58 |
| hobgoblin | you have two options - install while inside windows or install when you boot with it | 15:58 |
| hobgoblin | Jerk_: what are you actually after achieving? | 15:58 |
| === Jerk_ is now known as Jerk | ||
| Jerk | hobgolin: option 2 is invalidated :( | 15:58 |
| Galeo | Hi. I'm trying to install a D-Link DWA-125 wireless adapter to my computer, but I just don't know how to deal with it | 15:59 |
| hobgoblin | Jerk: not really - at least not yet ;) | 15:59 |
| Jerk | SIlver_Fox: thanks :).....I saw a friend using Ubuntu and I can't wait to have it | 15:59 |
| Jerk | hobgoblin: I just want to install Ubuntu while I run my Windows session | 16:00 |
| hobgoblin | Jerk: well you can only do that by installing inside windows - that is called wubi - and I only recommend that under very specific circumstances | 16:01 |
| Silver_Fox_ | http://wubi-installer.org/ | 16:01 |
| Jerk | hobgoblin: as to your earlier question-- it was an ISO but I burned it on a DVD, and made a booting dis outta it | 16:01 |
| Jerk | hobgoblin: I have wubi, but what special circumstances? | 16:02 |
| hobgoblin | I only ever recommend that if you have 4 primary partitions and are not willing to move stuff | 16:02 |
| hobgoblin | and if you say that is the case now I'll not believe you lol | 16:03 |
| Jerk | believe me, I have SEVEN partitions :p | 16:03 |
| hobgoblin | cool - so you are no stranger to logicals :) | 16:04 |
| Jerk | so, what exactly do we do? | 16:04 |
| hobgoblin | well I would look at why it doesn't boot - were you originally looking to install it as a 'real' dualboot? | 16:05 |
| Jerk | yeah, I was....you know, when i booted up, two options would show up, asking me if I was going to run WinXp or Ubuntu.....is this what you meant? | 16:06 |
| hobgoblin | yep | 16:06 |
| Jerk | okay | 16:06 |
| Jerk | yeah, I was originally looking to install it as a 'real' dualboot :p | 16:06 |
| Jerk | it that naive? | 16:06 |
| hobgoblin | nope - that is normal :) | 16:06 |
| Jerk | I take it it is possible, then? | 16:07 |
| hobgoblin | Jerk: so we are back to specs - graphics - RAM - disk space availability - make/model if possible | 16:07 |
| Jerk | okay.... I gave AMD Sempron 2.2 ghz, 1.5 Gb DDR2 RAM, 1Gb 94 GT nVidia graphic card and 580 Gb HD--divided between two HD's, one of 80Gb and the other of 500 | 16:10 |
| hobgoblin | k - the nvidia card is what model? | 16:10 |
| Jerk | 9400 GT | 16:10 |
| hobgoblin | k | 16:11 |
| hobgoblin | so I assume that you managed to get the machine booting from the cd - but that the cd did nopt work correctly | 16:11 |
| Jerk | yeah | 16:12 |
| hobgoblin | ok - when you downloaded did you do it directly or did you torrent it? | 16:12 |
| Jerk | torrent download | 16:13 |
| Jerk | was an iso file | 16:13 |
| Jerk | did I mention it had some preloaded apps? | 16:13 |
| hobgoblin | yea - but I was not sure what you meant - do you have a link? | 16:17 |
| Jerk | uh | 16:17 |
| Jerk | I might have | 16:17 |
| Jerk | lemme see..... | 16:18 |
| hobgoblin | anyway - that aside if you torrented it then it should be a good download | 16:18 |
| Jerk | I guess we might assume that | 16:18 |
| hobgoblin | so - when it boots - press any key when you reach the screen that has a man and keyboard at the bottom - then in the menu you'll see there is an option to verify the disc - all a bit pointless tryin to see what is going on if we don't know that the /download/burn is good or not | 16:19 |
| Jerk | tell you what | 16:20 |
| Jerk | i think it is | 16:20 |
| Jerk | seeing that it did boot up once | 16:20 |
| Jerk | it was when i first tested out the DVD | 16:20 |
| hobgoblin | doesn;t prove it to be a good burn - all you need is a few bits wrong and it could fail further on | 16:21 |
| Jerk | that would make sense | 16:21 |
| hobgoblin | do you also still have access to the downloaded iso? and a link or name to where you got it | 16:22 |
| Jerk | yeah | 16:22 |
| Jerk | sure | 16:22 |
| Jerk | I'll have to dig it up | 16:22 |
| Jerk | http : / / www. linuxnopc. com. br / dist / ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386-Custom-LPC.iso | 16:24 |
| Jerk | ah-ha | 16:24 |
| Jerk | here it is!! | 16:24 |
| Galeo | Ubuntu | 16:24 |
| hobgoblin | Jerk: did you get it from - though I am looking at a translated page http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&langpair=pt|en&u=http://linuxnopc.com.br/lpc/index.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26view%3Darticle%26id%3D22%26Itemid%3D29&rurl=translate.google.com&client=tmpg&usg=ALkJrhhayYZApIdyKD6hsp17hHF6i3ZKPQ | 16:28 |
| hobgoblin | if you did then that is not a torrent file | 16:29 |
| hobgoblin | jerk in which case you need to make sure the download was good - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM%20on%20Windows | 16:30 |
| Jerk | er | 16:31 |
| Jerk | you're right | 16:31 |
| Jerk | it was a direct download--I'd forgotten | 16:31 |
| Jerk | link to a direct download | 16:31 |
| hobgoblin | do you still have the iso ? if so go to the md5sum page I linked and follow the instructions to make sure the download is good | 16:32 |
| hobgoblin | I'm a bit on and off for the next 45 minutes - I'm sure someone is watching and able to help if needed | 16:32 |
| hobgoblin | Jerk: if you don't have the iso available try rebooting with it in and then verify the disc from the menu as I described earlier | 16:34 |
| Jerk | checksum check? | 16:34 |
| Jerk | no menu | 16:34 |
| Jerk | I never get any menu | 16:35 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| Jerk | and I think I deleted the iso | 16:36 |
| Jerk | damn! | 16:36 |
| hobgoblin | Jerk: you have to press a key when the man and keyboard are at the bottom of the screen as it boots | 16:36 |
| Jerk | man and keyboard? | 16:36 |
| Jerk | o_0 | 16:37 |
| Jerk | never saw such a thing | 16:37 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Jerk: when you boot the CD/DVD look at the bottom of the screen there is a man and a keyboard. | 16:38 |
| Jerk | oh yeah | 16:38 |
| Jerk | you mean the figurines | 16:38 |
| hobgoblin | cool - pick the verify disc option | 16:39 |
| JoeMaverickSett | you can say that. :) | 16:39 |
| Jerk | looks like I have to reboot then | 16:39 |
| Jerk | :( | 16:39 |
| hobgoblin | if that passes - reboot and then F6 and you can add nomodeset to the boot option | 16:39 |
| hobgoblin | but I have to go for a while now | 16:39 |
| Jerk | okay | 16:39 |
| Jerk | can't stop you, can I :p | 16:40 |

| red2 | hi | 17:08 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Hello . | 17:09 |
| johnny_ | I'm having trouble installing wubi. Can anyone help me? | 17:26 |
| JoeMaverickSett | johnny_: have you taken a lok at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wubi | 17:29 |
| johnny_ | give me a minute to look at and I'll get back with you. | 17:31 |
| Mohan_chml | johnny_: what is the issue actually? | 17:31 |
| johnny_ | I run wubi, answer the install stuff, and then it tries to download the iso. After 35 it appears to download it, but then the time left goes up to 2hr 45min left. | 17:33 |
| johnny_ | left it for six or 7 hours overnight and it only got to 1hr 30min left | 17:34 |
| johnny_ | I downloaded the iso manually, put them alone in the same folder and it still did the same thing. | 17:36 |
| Mohan_chml | johnny_: newer versions of m$ is having issues with wubi I think. I had the same problem before 6 months while I was installing it along with win &. I suggest you to install it as dual boot instead of install inside windows | 17:37 |
| johnny_ | i'm on a netbook with windows xp... I really wanted to try it before taking the risk of a dual boot. | 17:38 |
| johnny_ | i do have an iso cd that i can try instead of the download if you think it may work that way. | 17:39 |
| Mohan_chml | johnny_: you can try using Live USB then | 17:40 |
| Mohan_chml | Live USB/ CD | 17:40 |
| johnny_ | ok, i'll try the cd.. thank again you guys have been most helpful. | 17:41 |
| Mohan_chml | johnny_: ygood luck =] | 17:41 |

| Jerk | back again | 18:10 |
| Jerk | with Ubuntu pain | 18:10 |
| BGL-[d] | i wish every laptop had a stick mouse | 18:12 |
| Jerk | now that I finally am ready to download Ubuntu from Ubuntu.com | 18:14 |
| Jerk | I have a question: can I still play games on it? | 18:14 |
| hobgoblin | hi there jerk - welcome back | 18:18 |
| hobgoblin | some games work - some games will work in wine - some games do not work | 18:18 |
| hobgoblin | did you check the cd? | 18:18 |
| Jerk | yep | 18:19 |
| Jerk | had errors in sedder files | 18:19 |
| Jerk | seeder* | 18:19 |
| hobgoblin | there are 2 sub forums dedicated to gaming and wine on the forums | 18:19 |
| Jerk | wine... | 18:20 |
| hobgoblin | Jerk: you can get the proper ubuntu as a torrent - http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04.1/ | 18:20 |
| Jerk | nice nae | 18:20 |
| Jerk | already got it | 18:20 |
| Jerk | but thanks | 18:20 |
| Jerk | I gotta find some apps fast | 18:20 |
| hobgoblin | jerk it is a way to get SOME windows things working in linux but Wine Is Not an Emulator :) | 18:21 |
| hobgoblin | http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 18:21 |
| Jerk | guess I'll keep windows too | 18:23 |
| Jerk | just in case | 18:23 |
| Jerk | is there some sort of "perfect emulator"? | 18:26 |
| Jerk | which can run all sort of windows apps as well? | 18:26 |
| BGL-[d] | supposedly wine can run steam/counterstrike and a couple other things but i didn't feel like spending 2 hours to get it working | 18:31 |
| BGL-[d] | and just installed windows :> | 18:31 |
| hobgoblin | I'd be inclined to just play in windows till you got it working - but I'm no ganer | 18:32 |
| hobgoblin | *gamer | 18:32 |
| Jerk | I'll just like not to install my OS every 2 months or so, and be constantly "bugged" | 18:33 |
| Mohan_chml | Jerk: when you have new things to learn, you will never look into gaming =] | 18:33 |
| Mohan_chml | I was a perfect gamer before two years. But stopped it when I entered into Ubuntu and started exploring many =] | 18:34 |
| Jerk | Mohan_chml | 18:34 |
| Jerk | maybe | 18:34 |
| Jerk | but I am not quite there yet | 18:34 |
| Jerk | I fouund about Ubuntu, like, last week | 18:35 |
| Mohan_chml | Jerk: My suggestion is, dual boot it for a month(Its not Installing inside Win X with wubi) and shift over completely after some months | 18:36 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Jerk: you will stop gaming in about 2 or so months, if you stick around in IRC channels and do as Mohan_chml as suggested. :) | 18:36 |
| JoeMaverickSett | that's what happened to me though. ;) | 18:36 |
| Mohan_chml | lol :P | 18:36 |
| Jerk | JoeMaverickSett: wonder what I'll do instead... | 18:37 |
| valindil89_ | anyone know how to deal with windows in irssi? | 19:25 |

| bgs100 | stlsaint, pong | 20:12 |
| stlsaint | bgs100: sup man how ya been, long time no see :P | 20:12 |
| bgs100 | Good; I usually log on every day... :P | 20:13 |
| bgs100 | How are you? | 20:13 |
| stlsaint | bgs100: you log on but never say anything..BUST! :P | 20:13 |
| bgs100 | meh :p | 20:14 |
| stlsaint | hehe | 20:15 |
| stlsaint | bgs100: still writing python bots? :D | 20:15 |
| bgs100 | Not lately. Been messing with mail. | 20:15 |
| stlsaint | bgs100: mail server...yea im slowly making my way there for my server | 20:16 |
| stlsaint | bgs100: you making your own mail server? | 20:17 |
| bgs100 | Nah, | 20:18 |
| bgs100 | one sec | 20:18 |
| hobgoblin | hi duanedesign | 20:18 |
| bgs100 | I've mostly been messing around on the client-side. I found out about Mutt, tried it, and liked it, and set it up with gmail. I tried OfflineIMAP but there was some annoying things with message duplication due to labels and if you, for example, "starred" a message and then removed it from a folder, then offineimap syncs and gmail only sees the message as being removed from the folder/label, so the message as it is in other labels is not starred | 20:19 |
| bgs100 | /marked-as-read/etc, so I tried IMAP, but for whatever reason found a similar annoyance, and that, compunded with the fact that I'd need the web interface to add filters if I was using IMAP, tried POP, | 20:19 |
| bgs100 | but then fetchmail acted weird so I tried getmail (+ procmail) which does a good job but I realize I miss having something like labels (being able to have message in multiple folders/labels), so tried implementing a system that did that with symlinks and folders, then realized it wouldn't work, and am now still on this problem. | 20:20 |
| bgs100 | ... | 20:20 |
| bgs100 | Done :P | 20:20 |
| Mohan_chml | :P | 20:21 |
| bgs100 | stlsaint, consider yourself compensated for when I was not talking on this channel :P | 20:22 |
| === elfy is now known as hobgoblin | ||
| stlsaint | bgs100: HA...very well :D | 20:23 |
| duanedesign | bgs100: i have been wanting to try mutt... | 20:24 |
| bgs100 | Mutt is quite nice. | 20:24 |
| ibuclaw | oh wait - only nhandler can handle flags :-) | 20:29 |
| Verminator | can other distros, including the ubuntu derivatives (lubuntu, kububtu, etc), use the ubuntu one features to sync files, contacts, calanders, bookmarks, etc? | 20:35 |
| AndrewMC | Verminator: they should yes | 20:37 |
| duanedesign | Verminator: nUboon2Age set up Ubuntu One on his Kubuntu install and did a forum post about it | 20:38 |
| Verminator | duanedesign, sweet, thx | 20:38 |
| duanedesign | Verminator: the part I am not sure about is the GUI. i know you can run it using the commandline on *buntu | 20:38 |
| duanedesign | Verminator: let me find the link | 20:38 |
| Verminator | duanedesign, thx, that would be awesome | 20:39 |
| duanedesign | Verminator: ok | 20:46 |
| duanedesign | it looks like from the forum post they are using this guide http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-one-on-kubuntu-9-10-karmic.html | 20:46 |
| Verminator | duanedesign, thank you VERY much. I had not seen any discussion of it on the forum previously, thx, I really appreciate it | 20:47 |
| duanedesign | Verminator: based on what i know about ubuntu One I would start with this command: sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-client-gnome ubuntuone-client* python-ubuntuone-storage* | 20:48 |
| === pedro_ is now known as pedro3005 | ||
| duanedesign | Verminator: their is instructions for an alternate install here. this install ubuntuone-kde instead of ubuntuone-gnome http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522137 | 20:50 |
| Verminator | duanedesign, I have ubuntu on both desk and laptop currently. Thinking of running something lighter on my laptop and wanted to see what functionality I might loose in the swithc. | 20:50 |
| duanedesign | Verminator: one of the members of the Ubuntu One team is puting together a blog post on installing Ubuntu One on a server | 20:52 |
| duanedesign | Verminator: This setup puts the credentials in a config file using config-glue, i think. Which means you do not nead gnome-keyring | 20:53 |
| Verminator | duanedesign, thats cool, but possibly beyond my skill at this point, plus I have no dedicated server currently, just 2 machines | 20:53 |
| duanedesign | Verminator: you could use the same setup on your desktop and run Ubuntu One from the command line | 20:54 |
| duanedesign | the commands are easy. u1sdtool -c to connect, and u1sdtool -q to quit | 20:55 |
| Verminator | duanedesign, hmm, I'll have to look into this, thx this is great help. | 20:55 |
| duanedesign | Verminator: definetly. I idle in #ubuntone along with all the Ubutnu One developers if you ever need any specific Ubuntu One help | 20:56 |
| Verminator | duanedesign, excellent, I guess I should have known there was a ubuntuone irc | 20:57 |
| hobgoblin | they hide there | 20:58 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 20:58 |
| Daid | Hello there | 21:29 |
| stlsaint | Daid: howdy | 21:29 |
| Daid | Does anyone feel super courageous and wanna try helping me out? LOL | 21:30 |
| hobgoblin | I feel super courageous | 21:31 |
| Daid | lol | 21:31 |
| hobgoblin | on account that I'm off shortly :D | 21:31 |
| stlsaint | Daid: i feel ub34 courageous!! | 21:31 |
| Daid | well, a number of friends use Linux, so I thought I'd give Ubuntu a shot | 21:31 |
| Daid | I THOUGHT I was installing it to dual load, but apparently I failed in that department | 21:32 |
| hobgoblin | oh no | 21:32 |
| Daid | so, now I've lost Windows, though I'm confident it's still there | 21:32 |
| Daid | when I installed, I created a 200gb partition, which is where I'm pretty sure I put Ubuntu....but there's no option to dual load. Hence, my problem | 21:33 |
| hobgoblin | what partition option did you use | 21:33 |
| seidos | Daid, \o/ on having friends. | 21:33 |
| Daid | yus, friends are good. Friends who use ONLY linux and don't dual boot, aren't exactly helpful in this situation :P | 21:33 |
| hobgoblin | Daid: assuming you are in ubuntu now - open a terminal from apps -accessories | 21:33 |
| Daid | yeah, I'm in ubuntu on irssi | 21:34 |
| Daid | I've got another terminal window open and I'm in the grub directory | 21:34 |
| hobgoblin | then run this command - the last bit is a lower case L not a 1 | 21:34 |
| hobgoblin | sudo fdisk -l | 21:34 |
| stlsaint | irssi FTW!! | 21:34 |
| hobgoblin | then tell us if it says only linux or linux-swap | 21:34 |
| Daid | under system, it says Linux | 21:35 |
| Daid | I'm guessing that's bad :( | 21:37 |
| hobgoblin | there are no mentions of windows or ntfs or anything ? | 21:37 |
| Daid | no :( | 21:37 |
| hobgoblin | then you are running a linux only install just like your friends | 21:37 |
| Daid | ROFL | 21:37 |
| Daid | epic | 21:37 |
| Daid | fail | 21:37 |
| hobgoblin | stop using the pc and only boot with the livecd | 21:37 |
| hobgoblin | you might be able to retrieve the partition table and/or some of the data | 21:38 |
| hobgoblin | now I will ask you if you have backups .... | 21:38 |
| hobgoblin | Daid: do you have backups? | 21:38 |
| Daid | nah, there wasn't anything really THAT important on here :) | 21:38 |
| Daid | I kinda went into this knowing that if I wiped everything out, it was no big loss :) | 21:39 |
| hobgoblin | welcome to linux :) | 21:39 |
| Daid | haha | 21:39 |
| Daid | I WILL have to fix this, at some point...but, meh | 21:39 |
| hobgoblin | you could try to fix it - but I am seriously off - been up for hours | 21:40 |
| hobgoblin | I'll try and find a link | 21:40 |
| Daid | It's ok. I've got a friend that might be able to help me | 21:41 |
| Daid | unfortunately, he lives on the other side of hte world and is asleep :P | 21:41 |
| hobgoblin | ok then | 21:42 |
| hobgoblin | but the more you use the machine the less chance there is of retrieving stuff | 21:44 |
| hobgoblin | well good luck Daid - I'm away now | 21:47 |
