Robinuxheya guys whats the difference between desktop and server edition, won't i have apache2 and php5 on the desktop edition?00:09
Robinuxnvm00:11
aveilleuxRobinux: There's no huge difference; the desktop and server editions have the same repositories. The server comes with some extra packages installed by default (depending on your configuration) and has a few extra kernel modules that help it operate more smoothly on server hardware.00:12
Robinuxaveilleux: i see00:19
aveilleuxRobinux: Also, if I recall correctly, the server install does not come with a GUI by default00:21
Robinuxawww too bad00:22
Robinuxi'm too new to linux to operate without gui00:22
Robinuxit'll probably kill my motivation to learn linux00:22
Robinuxubuntu 10.10 is called mavrick? am i right00:22

jlantzhow do i move my home folder from 10.04 hd to 1tb hd and not screw up new home folder on 1tb hd?  can't find it in my ubuntu books.00:54
stlsaintjlantz: do you have a seperate partition for /home?00:55
jlantzno i don't00:55
stlsaintso you want to backup your /home to your TB drive or you want to mount /home to the TB drive?00:55
jlantzlike to use my old home folder for the 1tb 10.10 hd00:56
stlsaintjlantz: alright well you will want to create a seperate /home (i think, if i understand you correctly)00:57
aveilleuxjlantz: Something you can do is create a new partition on the secondary hard drive, copy your entire /home directory onto the secondary drive, then mount the secondary drive as /home00:57
jlantzi think too,  i have my evolution email stuff that i don't want to lose00:57
stlsaintaveilleux: that will also invovled editing fstab00:58
jlantzevolution backup process is fstab right?00:59
aveilleuxstlsaint: So will creating a separate /home ;-)00:59
stlsaintwait thats what i meant00:59
stlsainti didnt mean that for the evolution issue00:59
stlsaintjlantz: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome00:59
aveilleuxjlantz: No. fstab stands for "File System TABle"... it's the text file that determines what directories are mounted using what hard drive partitions00:59
jlantzTHanks for the link! i'll study that!01:00
jlantzAppreciate the help!01:01

L551Hey everyone, just installed ubuntu for the first time02:22
stlsaintL551: nice, how do you like it02:23
L551It's nice. Just a couple things - My microphone doesn't work, and my touchpad is overly sensitive02:23
L551Working on getting it all set up how I like it02:23
stlsainthrm, the touchpad should be configurable, and is the mic internal or external?02:24
L551internal02:24
L551Using ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition02:25
stlsaintoh, i have never used UNR02:25
L551Well, I'm an idiot just go to mouse options to turn down sensitivity, DUH.02:26
L551*facepalms self*02:26
Game_GuyThat's cool stLsanit. I googled for hours ha ha02:34

VerminatorL551: I believe thw mic is turned off by default, you will need to go into sound preferences / input to unmute it02:36
Game_GuyAnyone else have any idea?02:40

sujiths80how can I check that04:20
aveilleuxsujiths80: do you have a small envelope icon near your clock?04:21
sujiths80no04:21
aveilleuxsujiths80: Then you don't have indicator-applet loaded. Right-click on the panel and click "Add to panel". Then look for "indicator applet" and add it.04:23

shahanI have just installed ubuntu 10.10 desktop 32bit. Now when I am giving this command on terminal "sudo apt-get update" getting this output http://paste.ubuntu.com/511553/11:14
geirhaThere's already an apt/dpkg program running11:25
geirhaps -ef | grep apt    might show it11:25
geirhaCould also be a dangling lock as a result of a hard shutdown or kill -911:25
shahangeirha: oooo now its updating :o11:25
geirhaAh, it suddenly started working?   It was probably the daily apt-get update that was running.11:27
shahangeirha: hmm, may be...11:27
shahanI am missing the Software Source in my 10.1011:28
shahanhmm I can start this from Synaptic Package MAnager11:30
geirhaThey probably just removed the menu entry since it's available from both the software center and synaptic11:30

nemchikhello, i'd like to know how to get irc:// links in browsers to open xchat-gnome - im using ubuntu 10.10, xchat-gnome 0.26.1, and my primary browser is google chrome 7.0.544.0 dev but i'd like it to work in all browsers if possible15:25
pedro3005nemchik, well, it's in the browswer options15:27
pedro3005I know in firefox it's Edit -> Preferences -> Applications, select "irc" then select your application15:27
pedro3005no idea about chrome15:27
nemchikhmm, that kinda sucks - i noticed the 'preferred applications' lets you choose your browser and mail client - coming from windows i'm used to the 'associate file extentions and protocols' thing15:30
nemchiklooks like chrome calls xdg-open for irc links15:36
