[00:30] Goodbye [01:49] Hello all [01:50] Anyone available to lend a hand? I'm having some boot issues on a new install of Ubuntu. [01:51] 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] Anyone there? [01:57] Trian3: what seems to be the issue? === tenach is now known as ph === ph is now known as PHP === PHP is now known as tenach [04:08] hey! [04:09] well, im not exactly a beginner, but im having a very odd problem [04:10] an image of UNR was corrupted to the point of being unbootable (it would throw me into initramfs) [05:42] back with more problems :( [05:43] Jerk: Sup? [05:45] 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] why is this? [05:46] aveilleux: bad stuff [05:48] Jerk: I know very little about Wubi installs, sorry :( [05:53] back === Jerk_ is now known as Jerk [08:52] hello everyone.....just wanted to know whether it's true that Ubuntu uses up a lot of power [08:55] power? [08:56] you know, power o_0 [08:56] as in electricity? [08:56] yeah [08:57] well my bill didn't go up [08:57] hehehe [08:57] I hope neither will mine :p [08:57] the thing is, I've finally got a dual boot system [08:57] with WInXP and Ubuntu [08:58] I tell a lie - my bill went up - but the usage didn't - power companies are greedy [08:58] except that, when I boot up from ubuntu, the system automatically restarts [08:58] excellent [08:58] :( [08:58] seen that on the forums [08:59] not remembering what you installed - was it a normal dual boot or wubi [08:59] Wuni [08:59] Wubi [09:00] I'd have no luck trying to troubleshoot that [09:00] so, I was wondering, if Ubuntu is using so much power that the hardware can't keep up [09:00] Jerk, powertop [09:00] strange hypotheses, I know [09:00] ibuclaw: what's powertop? [09:02] 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] ibuclaw: okay.... [09:04] 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] can I use it to manage the power, as well? [09:05] Jerk, not really, no. [09:06] Scrolling up, you say the system automatically restarts. Perhaps it's not power related then... [09:06] when you say "boot", do you mean you reach the login screen? your desktop loads up? [09:08] oh and hobgoblin - welcome back. :-) [09:22] congrats hobgoblin - looks like you've made it. [09:23] :) [09:23] nice one ibuclaw - ty [09:23] could have done it sooner, but it was a weekday. [09:23] lol [09:24] they all merge into one here [09:29] o/ [09:29] Hello hobgoblin, ibuclaw [09:32] morning tenach [09:33] How goes ? [09:33] pretty good sun is shining and the day has just begun :) [09:34] bit chilly though but hey ho [09:35] 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] and of course I am a greedy git [09:37] whoops - wrong channel for all of that [10:31] morning all [10:32] duanedesign, o/ [11:11] Anyone want to try out the new Ubuntu Font who has not gotten it yet? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu%20Font%20Family#Howto === compiledkernel is now known as Guest73694 [12:43] Hello, I have a question about installing a printer. [12:51] johnny_ Hi [12:55] hello, lukjad [12:55] johnny_ What seems to be the problem? [12:56] I've never used Ubuntu before and don't know how to install my HP network printer. [12:57] johnny_ What's the model? [12:57] hp deskjet 6940 [12:58] johnny_ And which version of Ubuntu are you using? [12:58] 10.4 netbook [13:00] 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] johnny_ Looks like it's well supported :) [13:00] If you run into any problems, just ask here. :) [13:00] ok, If I go and hook it up via usb will I then be able to go through network to print it? [13:01] that is what I'm worried about. [13:01] johnny_ Just to be clear, you want to be able to print to that printer from other computers on your home network? [13:02] i want to print to that printer from this computer running Unbuntu through my network. [13:04] i do have it installed using Wubi if you think that makes a difference. [13:04] johnny_ So you have multiple computers and you wish to share a printer? [13:07] I already have multiple computers set up in a home network. The said printer is already shared. [13:07] I just installed Ubuntu using Wubi and need to install the printer so that I can print from Unbuntu. [13:12] Ah [13:12] johnny_ I didn't understand that. [13:13] johnny_ Go to System → Administration → Printing [13:13] Click the New button or go to Server → New → Printer. [13:13] Expand Network Printer. [13:13] You should see a list [13:13] If you see the printer, select it [13:14] johnny_ How is this printer networked? [13:15] when I expand network printer there is some options, but no printer listed. [13:17] not sure what you mean by how networked, but it's connected to my wireless router. [13:17] johnny_ Do you have the IP address of the printer? [13:17] if there is one, i don't know what it is. [13:18] hold on I think I may have just figured it out. [13:19] johnny_ great! Also, here's a guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu [13:19] also here: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/printing/C/printing.html [13:26] thank you.... I have a few thinks to check out. [13:31] johnny_ Hope it works out for you :) [13:37] 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] I fix that, it found printer, send test print, going to check now. [13:38] printed fine. thank you lukjad! [13:43] Joeb454 Yay! [13:43] johnny_ ! [13:43] Sorry, tabfail [13:43] johnny_ Great, I'm glad. If you need any more help just ask :) [13:57] do you have much experience with open office? [13:59] i ahve not used open office much, have you lukjad [14:00] johnny_ Some [14:00] Joeb454 What's up? [14:00] haha [14:00] lukjad, welcome to the tab failers :D [14:00] johnny_, yes sup? [14:00] i am not alone! [14:01] johnny_ What's up? [14:01] duanedesign, I am speaking with my friend in phone and I am also not alone =] [14:01] I have a table with two columns with text in both columns. I can't get the text to line up right. [14:03] 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] johnny_, like http://i55.tinypic.com/502nvs.png? === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohan_chml [14:06] no, it's one row by two columns. [14:08] duanedesign, Any Ideas about the issue? [14:09] would it matter any that these are Word documents? [14:13] johnny_ Only in that Word doesn't always follow the same conventions [14:13] johnny_: i think i know how to align to the baseline in OO [14:13] could it be the font? I'm using times new roman, but can't even find that in front drop-down. [14:15] View > Toolbars > Text Formatting Paragraph dialog. There is a Space Above and Below Paragraph [14:17] johnny_: that will give you a little finer control then using Returns. [14:17] duanedesign: that's zeroed already. thank you. [14:19] 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] yes, if I enter a letter in a blank line the text below it shifts down. Is this a normal feature? [14:27] i got to go. thanks anyway. [14:29] format > objects > text attributes === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohan_chml [16:18] Hello. [16:21] Hello Silver_Fox_.
