| Trian3 | Hello all | 01:49 |
| Trian3 | Anyone available to lend a hand? I'm having some boot issues on a new install of Ubuntu. | 01:50 |
| Trian3 | I'm sure it's something simple, but all my googling has gotten me is a case of bug-eyes and a slight headache. | 01:51 |
| Trian3 | Anyone there? | 01:51 |
| duanedesign | Trian3: what seems to be the issue? | 01:57 |

| Vast | hey! | 04:08 |
| Vast | well, im not exactly a beginner, but im having a very odd problem | 04:09 |
| Vast | an image of UNR was corrupted to the point of being unbootable (it would throw me into initramfs) | 04:10 |
| Jerk | back with more problems :( | 05:42 |
| aveilleux | Jerk: Sup? | 05:43 |
| Jerk | I downloaded WUBI, which then installed Ubuntu on my desktop. so now I have a dual-boot system, with WinXP and Ubuntu. however, whenever I boot up Ubuntu, my pc reboots automatically after some time. | 05:45 |
| Jerk | why is this? | 05:45 |
| Jerk | aveilleux: bad stuff | 05:46 |
| aveilleux | Jerk: I know very little about Wubi installs, sorry :( | 05:48 |
| Jerk | back | 05:53 |
| === Jerk_ is now known as Jerk | ||
| Jerk | hello everyone.....just wanted to know whether it's true that Ubuntu uses up a lot of power | 08:52 |
| hobgoblin | power? | 08:55 |
| Jerk | you know, power o_0 | 08:56 |
| hobgoblin | as in electricity? | 08:56 |
| Jerk | yeah | 08:56 |
| hobgoblin | well my bill didn't go up | 08:57 |
| Jerk | hehehe | 08:57 |
| Jerk | I hope neither will mine :p | 08:57 |
| Jerk | the thing is, I've finally got a dual boot system | 08:57 |
| Jerk | with WInXP and Ubuntu | 08:57 |
| hobgoblin | I tell a lie - my bill went up - but the usage didn't - power companies are greedy | 08:58 |
| Jerk | except that, when I boot up from ubuntu, the system automatically restarts | 08:58 |
| hobgoblin | excellent | 08:58 |
| Jerk | :( | 08:58 |
| hobgoblin | seen that on the forums | 08:58 |
| hobgoblin | not remembering what you installed - was it a normal dual boot or wubi | 08:59 |
| Jerk | Wuni | 08:59 |
| Jerk | Wubi | 08:59 |
| hobgoblin | I'd have no luck trying to troubleshoot that | 09:00 |
| Jerk | so, I was wondering, if Ubuntu is using so much power that the hardware can't keep up | 09:00 |
| ibuclaw | Jerk, powertop | 09:00 |
| Jerk | strange hypotheses, I know | 09:00 |
| Jerk | ibuclaw: what's powertop? | 09:00 |
| ibuclaw | usually there is a thread, or process - or multiple threads/processes that keeps the CPU/Hard disk in constant activity (aka - waking up). | 09:02 |
| Jerk | ibuclaw: okay.... | 09:03 |
| ibuclaw | Jerk, powertop is a monitor for power activity on a workstation. Just came to mind when you mentioned "Ubuntu is using so much power" :-) | 09:04 |
| Jerk | can I use it to manage the power, as well? | 09:05 |
| ibuclaw | Jerk, not really, no. | 09:05 |
| ibuclaw | Scrolling up, you say the system automatically restarts. Perhaps it's not power related then... | 09:06 |
| ibuclaw | when you say "boot", do you mean you reach the login screen? your desktop loads up? | 09:06 |
| ibuclaw | oh and hobgoblin - welcome back. :-) | 09:08 |
| ibuclaw | congrats hobgoblin - looks like you've made it. | 09:22 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 09:23 |
| hobgoblin | nice one ibuclaw - ty | 09:23 |
| ibuclaw | could have done it sooner, but it was a weekday. | 09:23 |
| hobgoblin | lol | 09:23 |
| hobgoblin | they all merge into one here | 09:24 |
| tenach | o/ | 09:29 |
| tenach | Hello hobgoblin, ibuclaw | 09:29 |
| hobgoblin | morning tenach | 09:32 |
| tenach | How goes ? | 09:33 |
| hobgoblin | pretty good sun is shining and the day has just begun :) | 09:33 |
| hobgoblin | bit chilly though but hey ho | 09:34 |
| hobgoblin | gonna be cooking with little one today - this is an important task - if she lived with her mum she'd be expected to learn - not usually a dad thing - but as it is just her and me someone has to do it :) | 09:35 |
| hobgoblin | and of course I am a greedy git | 09:35 |
| hobgoblin | whoops - wrong channel for all of that | 09:37 |

| johnny_ | Hello, I have a question about installing a printer. | 12:43 |
| lukjad | johnny_ Hi | 12:51 |
| johnny_ | hello, lukjad | 12:55 |
| lukjad | johnny_ What seems to be the problem? | 12:55 |
| johnny_ | I've never used Ubuntu before and don't know how to install my HP network printer. | 12:56 |
| lukjad | johnny_ What's the model? | 12:57 |
| johnny_ | hp deskjet 6940 | 12:57 |
| lukjad | johnny_ And which version of Ubuntu are you using? | 12:58 |
| johnny_ | 10.4 netbook | 12:58 |
| lukjad | johnny_ As far as I can see, you should be able to just plug it in, power it up and be prompted to install it | 13:00 |
| lukjad | johnny_ Looks like it's well supported :) | 13:00 |
| lukjad | If you run into any problems, just ask here. :) | 13:00 |
| johnny_ | ok, If I go and hook it up via usb will I then be able to go through network to print it? | 13:00 |
| johnny_ | that is what I'm worried about. | 13:01 |
| lukjad | johnny_ Just to be clear, you want to be able to print to that printer from other computers on your home network? | 13:01 |
| johnny_ | i want to print to that printer from this computer running Unbuntu through my network. | 13:02 |
| johnny_ | i do have it installed using Wubi if you think that makes a difference. | 13:04 |
| lukjad | johnny_ So you have multiple computers and you wish to share a printer? | 13:04 |
| johnny_ | I already have multiple computers set up in a home network. The said printer is already shared. | 13:07 |
| johnny_ | I just installed Ubuntu using Wubi and need to install the printer so that I can print from Unbuntu. | 13:07 |
| lukjad | Ah | 13:12 |
| lukjad | johnny_ I didn't understand that. | 13:12 |
| lukjad | johnny_ Go to System → Administration → Printing | 13:13 |
| lukjad | Click the New button or go to Server → New → Printer. | 13:13 |
| lukjad | Expand Network Printer. | 13:13 |
| lukjad | You should see a list | 13:13 |
| lukjad | If you see the printer, select it | 13:13 |
| lukjad | johnny_ How is this printer networked? | 13:14 |
| johnny_ | when I expand network printer there is some options, but no printer listed. | 13:15 |
| johnny_ | not sure what you mean by how networked, but it's connected to my wireless router. | 13:17 |
| lukjad | johnny_ Do you have the IP address of the printer? | 13:17 |
| johnny_ | if there is one, i don't know what it is. | 13:17 |
| johnny_ | hold on I think I may have just figured it out. | 13:18 |
| lukjad | johnny_ great! Also, here's a guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu | 13:19 |
| lukjad | also here: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/printing/C/printing.html | 13:19 |
| johnny_ | thank you.... I have a few thinks to check out. | 13:26 |
| lukjad | johnny_ Hope it works out for you :) | 13:31 |
| johnny_ | i figured it out. I use Mac address filtering. I forgot to turn it back on. When I discovered this a bunch of other things where using the network. It order to crack back down I deleted all the Mac address and started over. guess I forgot about the printer. | 13:37 |
| johnny_ | I fix that, it found printer, send test print, going to check now. | 13:37 |
| johnny_ | printed fine. thank you lukjad! | 13:38 |
| lukjad | Joeb454 Yay! | 13:43 |
| lukjad | johnny_ ! | 13:43 |
| lukjad | Sorry, tabfail | 13:43 |
| lukjad | johnny_ Great, I'm glad. If you need any more help just ask :) | 13:43 |
| johnny_ | do you have much experience with open office? | 13:57 |
| duanedesign | i ahve not used open office much, have you lukjad | 13:59 |
| lukjad | johnny_ Some | 14:00 |
| lukjad | Joeb454 What's up? | 14:00 |
| duanedesign | haha | 14:00 |
| Mohan_chml | lukjad, welcome to the tab failers :D | 14:00 |
| Mohan_chml | johnny_, yes sup? | 14:00 |
| duanedesign | i am not alone! | 14:00 |
| lukjad | johnny_ What's up? | 14:01 |
| Mohan_chml | duanedesign, I am speaking with my friend in phone and I am also not alone =] | 14:01 |
| johnny_ | I have a table with two columns with text in both columns. I can't get the text to line up right. | 14:01 |
| johnny_ | each column has different sized paragraphs, but I like them to line up. I usually just enter until it lines up with the next paragraph, but they are not lining up. | 14:03 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | johnny_, like http://i55.tinypic.com/502nvs.png? | 14:05 |
| === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohan_chml | ||
| johnny_ | no, it's one row by two columns. | 14:06 |
| Mohan_chml | duanedesign, Any Ideas about the issue? | 14:08 |
| johnny_ | would it matter any that these are Word documents? | 14:09 |
| lukjad | johnny_ Only in that Word doesn't always follow the same conventions | 14:13 |
| duanedesign | johnny_: i think i know how to align to the baseline in OO | 14:13 |
| johnny_ | could it be the font? I'm using times new roman, but can't even find that in front drop-down. | 14:13 |
| duanedesign | View > Toolbars > Text Formatting Paragraph dialog. There is a Space Above and Below Paragraph | 14:15 |
| duanedesign | johnny_: that will give you a little finer control then using Returns. | 14:17 |
| johnny_ | duanedesign: that's zeroed already. thank you. | 14:17 |
| johnny_ | I want to say that a line of text is not equal to a return. for whatever reason that is what it looks like. | 14:19 |
| johnny_ | yes, if I enter a letter in a blank line the text below it shifts down. Is this a normal feature? | 14:22 |
| johnny_ | i got to go. thanks anyway. | 14:27 |
| duanedesign | format > objects > text attributes | 14:29 |
