[00:30] <Silver_Fox_> Goodbye
[01:49] <Trian3> Hello all
[01:50] <Trian3> Anyone available to lend a hand?  I'm having some boot issues on a new install of Ubuntu.
[01:51] <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?
[01:57] <duanedesign> Trian3: what seems to be the issue?
[04:08] <Vast> hey!
[04:09] <Vast> well, im not exactly a beginner, but im having a very odd problem
[04:10] <Vast> an image of UNR was corrupted to the point of being unbootable (it would throw me into initramfs)
[05:42] <Jerk> back with more problems :(
[05:43] <aveilleux> Jerk: Sup?
[05:45] <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?
[05:46] <Jerk> aveilleux: bad stuff
[05:48] <aveilleux> Jerk: I know very little about Wubi installs, sorry :(
[05:53] <Jerk> back
[08:52] <Jerk> hello everyone.....just wanted to know whether it's true that Ubuntu uses up a lot of power
[08:55] <hobgoblin> power?
[08:56] <Jerk> you know, power o_0
[08:56] <hobgoblin> as in electricity?
[08:56] <Jerk> yeah
[08:57] <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
[08:58] <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
[08:59] <hobgoblin> not remembering what you installed - was it a normal dual boot or wubi
[08:59] <Jerk> Wuni
[08:59] <Jerk> Wubi
[09:00] <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?
[09:02] <ibuclaw> usually there is a thread, or process - or multiple threads/processes that keeps the CPU/Hard disk in constant activity (aka - waking up).
[09:03] <Jerk> ibuclaw: okay....
[09:04] <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" :-)
[09:05] <Jerk> can I use it to manage the power, as well?
[09:05] <ibuclaw> Jerk, not really, no.
[09:06] <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?
[09:08] <ibuclaw> oh and hobgoblin - welcome back. :-)
[09:22] <ibuclaw> congrats hobgoblin - looks like you've made it.
[09:23] <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
[09:24] <hobgoblin> they all merge into one here
[09:29] <tenach> o/
[09:29] <tenach> Hello hobgoblin, ibuclaw
[09:32] <hobgoblin> morning tenach
[09:33] <tenach> How goes ?
[09:33] <hobgoblin> pretty good sun is shining and the day has just begun :)
[09:34] <hobgoblin> bit chilly though but hey ho
[09:35] <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
[09:37] <hobgoblin> whoops - wrong channel for all of that
[10:31] <duanedesign> morning all
[10:32] <Mohan_chml> duanedesign, o/
[11:11] <duanedesign> Anyone want to try out the new Ubuntu Font who has not gotten it yet?   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu%20Font%20Family#Howto
[12:43] <johnny_> Hello, I have a question about installing a printer.
[12:51] <lukjad> johnny_ Hi
[12:55] <johnny_> hello, lukjad
[12:55] <lukjad> johnny_ What seems to be the problem?
[12:56] <johnny_> I've never used Ubuntu before and don't know how to install my HP network printer.
[12:57] <lukjad> johnny_ What's the model?
[12:57] <johnny_> hp deskjet 6940
[12:58] <lukjad> johnny_ And which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[12:58] <johnny_> 10.4 netbook
[13:00] <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?
[13:01] <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?
[13:02] <johnny_> i want to print to that printer from this computer running Unbuntu through my network.
[13:04] <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?
[13:07] <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.
[13:12] <lukjad> Ah
[13:12] <lukjad> johnny_ I didn't understand that.
[13:13] <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
[13:14] <lukjad> johnny_ How is this printer networked?
[13:15] <johnny_> when I expand network printer there is some options, but no printer listed.
[13:17] <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.
[13:18] <johnny_> hold on I think I may have just figured it out.
[13:19] <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
[13:26] <johnny_> thank you.... I have a few thinks to check out.
[13:31] <lukjad> johnny_ Hope it works out for you :)
[13:37] <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.
[13:38] <johnny_> printed fine. thank you lukjad!
[13:43] <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 :)
[13:57] <johnny_> do you have much experience with open office?
[13:59] <duanedesign> i ahve not used open office much, have you lukjad
[14:00] <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!
[14:01] <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.
[14:03] <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.
[14:05] <IAmNotThatGuy> johnny_, like http://i55.tinypic.com/502nvs.png?
[14:06] <johnny_> no, it's one row by two columns.
[14:08] <Mohan_chml> duanedesign, Any Ideas about the issue?
[14:09] <johnny_> would it matter any that these are Word documents?
[14:13] <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.
[14:15] <duanedesign> View > Toolbars > Text Formatting Paragraph dialog. There is a Space Above and Below Paragraph
[14:17] <duanedesign> johnny_: that will give you a little finer control then using Returns.
[14:17] <johnny_> duanedesign: that's zeroed already. thank you.
[14:19] <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.
[14:22] <johnny_> yes, if I enter a letter in a blank line the text below it shifts down. Is this a normal feature?
[14:27] <johnny_> i got to go. thanks anyway.
[14:29] <duanedesign> format > objects > text attributes
