| WFeather | Does anyone know if it is possible to put the Unity Overlay/Interface on a regular Ubuntu 10.10 install? Also Can you disable just the touch feature and use the digitizer on a Tablet PC? | 02:17 |
|---|---|---|
| Cheri703 | WFeather: I think so, at least with the old netbook edition you could | 02:18 |
| WFeather | any idea how ? | 02:19 |
| WFeather | i have googled and googled to no avail | 02:19 |
| Cheri703 | hmm...hang on | 02:19 |
| WFeather | k thanks | 02:19 |
| Cheri703 | try "sudo apt-get install unity" and see what happens | 02:20 |
| WFeather | its DL'ing and installing | 02:20 |
| WFeather | i can turn it on then off right ? | 02:20 |
| WFeather | i use the tablet with a bigger monitor, but its 12.1 inch so on the go a better thign would be unity from what i've seen | 02:21 |
| Cheri703 | when it's installed, log out (or restart) and at your login screen, you should have a "session" option in the bottom right, and you can choose unity or gnome | 02:21 |
| WFeather | k let me check | 02:21 |
| Cheri703 | that's how it is with 10.04 netbook. | 02:21 |
| Cheri703 | I didn't like unity, honestly | 02:21 |
| WFeather | logged out and only have the purple/pink background | 02:22 |
| WFeather | nothing else | 02:22 |
| Cheri703 | as of the other day, you can't access files outside of your home folders from the launcher | 02:22 |
| Cheri703 | click the name of the user | 02:22 |
| Cheri703 | it should show up then | 02:22 |
| WFeather | there isnt | 02:22 |
| WFeather | just the background image | 02:22 |
| Cheri703 | do you have the login thing? the box? | 02:22 |
| WFeather | nope | 02:22 |
| Cheri703 | ok, restart | 02:22 |
| WFeather | just the background, rebooted, i have had it before | 02:22 |
| WFeather | atleast its a quick boot :) | 02:22 |
| Cheri703 | when you get to the login screen, you can choose your user, and then choose unity (in theory) | 02:23 |
| WFeather | doing disc cehck that is done already | 02:23 |
| WFeather | same thing | 02:23 |
| WFeather | just pink/purple background image | 02:23 |
| WFeather | nothing else | 02:23 |
| Cheri703 | no login? | 02:23 |
| Cheri703 | at all? | 02:23 |
| WFeather | nope | 02:23 |
| WFeather | no mouse | 02:23 |
| Cheri703 | weird, very weird | 02:23 |
| Cheri703 | hang on a sec | 02:23 |
| WFeather | nothing but the background picture | 02:23 |
| WFeather | boot in safe mode ? -- k | 02:23 |
| Cheri703 | worth a shot | 02:24 |
| WFeather | at the meniue, start in what mode ? | 02:24 |
| WFeather | menu* | 02:25 |
| Cheri703 | what options are there? | 02:25 |
| WFeather | resume, clean, dpkg, failsafex, grub, netroot, root | 02:25 |
| Cheri703 | uhm, I don't know -_- sorry, am seeking further assistance | 02:26 |
| WFeather | ahh, dpkg maybe can remove it ? | 02:26 |
| WFeather | worst case i didnt have anything other than office installed so a reinstall wont hurt too much(wont take long, its pretty quick) | 02:26 |
| isiah | ok i came here to help | 02:27 |
| WFeather | guessing to help me | 02:27 |
| isiah | maybe? | 02:27 |
| WFeather | i'm the one where i get just the background for the login screen | 02:27 |
| isiah | ? | 02:27 |
| isiah | please explain | 02:27 |
| WFeather | thats my issue now | 02:27 |
| Cheri703 | WFeather: go back to the beginning | 02:27 |
| Cheri703 | isiah: didn't see the beginning of the convo | 02:28 |
| WFeather | ok.....want to get Unity overlay/skin to work in a regular Ubuntu 10.10 install | 02:28 |
| josuchav1 | is it ok to start a side question here | 02:28 |
| WFeather | so Cheri suggested i do "try "sudo apt-get install unity" and see what happens" | 02:28 |
| isiah | i have no freaken idea | 02:28 |
| WFeather | and then logged out to try changing the session, and just had the pink/purple background | 02:28 |
| WFeather | with no way to log in, and no mouse icon showing | 02:28 |
| WFeather | could going into recovery menu and chising dpkg allow me to remove the unity package that downloaded? | 02:29 |
| WFeather | chosing* | 02:29 |
| seidos | Cheri703, what is the question? | 02:29 |
| isiah | you mean you cant login to your desktop at all? | 02:29 |
| WFeather | yes, nothing but the background image shows up now | 02:29 |
| Cheri703 | he installed the unity package and logged out, and now he has no login box on reboot -_- | 02:29 |
| Cheri703 | sorry WFeather :( | 02:29 |
| WFeather | lol, no worries | 02:29 |
| isiah | wow | 02:29 |
| WFeather | nothing important was on there | 02:29 |
| isiah | like vista | 02:29 |
| WFeather | most of my stuff is on the 7 install | 02:30 |
| isiah | just this big blank screen | 02:30 |
| isiah | yes? | 02:30 |
| GabrielYYZ | maybe recovery menu > failsafe and see if you can fix it under safe mode | 02:30 |
| WFeather | not blank, its the background image there by default | 02:30 |
| WFeather | the failsafex mode ? | 02:30 |
| GabrielYYZ | let me check something, sec | 02:30 |
| isiah | so how are you talking here? | 02:30 |
| WFeather | i'm on my desktop | 02:31 |
| WFeather | this is for my tablet | 02:31 |
| isiah | ok | 02:31 |
| WFeather | Hardware: i7 620m, 4 GB DDR3, Intel integrated graphics, 80 gig SSD | 02:31 |
| WFeather | dont know if any of that is prevalant | 02:31 |
| isiah | ok i think i see the problem | 02:31 |
| isiah | i am going to guess here that this unity program is stuck | 02:31 |
| isiah | its some type of graphics program? | 02:31 |
| WFeather | its the netbook interface for ubuntu | 02:32 |
| WFeather | the screen i have is 12 " wanted to give it a go since it seems its made for smaller interfaces | 02:32 |
| isiah | sounds like two programs are fighting for control of the same driver | 02:32 |
| isiah | i.e. your display | 02:32 |
| WFeather | yup | 02:32 |
| WFeather | using my tablet to get back into linux again | 02:33 |
| WFeather | havent done it much lately | 02:33 |
| isiah | ok we got to get rid of one then | 02:33 |
| Cheri703 | WFeather: I prefer the 10.04 netbook launcher to unity | 02:33 |
| GabrielYYZ | it seems that with the failsafe x mode you can go in a troubleshooting section and check logs and stuff | 02:33 |
| isiah | now: there is no way at all for you to get anything but a blank useless screen at this point? | 02:33 |
| WFeather | yes | 02:33 |
| WFeather | i can go to the recovery mode | 02:33 |
| WFeather | which is where it is sititng now | 02:33 |
| WFeather | with the options | 02:33 |
| GabrielYYZ | that seems like a good way to go so you get an idea of what exactly is the problem | 02:33 |
| isiah | or, we could try a liveCD | 02:34 |
| WFeather | i can put in the 10.10 CD if that will work better than doing failsafe mode | 02:34 |
| WFeather | have to find where i placed it though | 02:34 |
| GabrielYYZ | but with live cd he wouldn't have access to root | 02:34 |
| isiah | he could mount it | 02:34 |
| GabrielYYZ | and i doubt he'd see any logs at all | 02:34 |
| isiah | and do whatever he wanted | 02:34 |
| WFeather | what if i go into dpkg mode from recovery menu | 02:35 |
| WFeather | couldnt i just remove the unity thing from there ? | 02:35 |
| isiah | could try | 02:35 |
| WFeather | well lets see what happens... | 02:35 |
| isiah | failing that i would look into tracking down the actual configured file and removing it | 02:36 |
| johnny77 | paultag: Hello. How you've been? | 02:36 |
| WFeather | its doing a bunch of upaking and processing | 02:36 |
| paultag | johnny77, well, how are you? | 02:37 |
| isiah | I am betting it altered your startup procedure | 02:37 |
| johnny77 | paultag: not too bad, make any headway on that backport to 10.04? | 02:37 |
| paultag | johnny77, no :( -- there are a few little conflicts that force a ftbfs. I'm working on resolving them, but I have to make sure not to break anything | 02:38 |
| Cheri703 | sorry WFeather :( | 02:38 |
| WFeather | no problem man, nothing important is lost | 02:38 |
| WFeather | worst case i do an install | 02:38 |
| WFeather | and with the SSD its not an issue | 02:38 |
| GabrielYYZ | i'm partial to failsafe, if only to review the logs and xorg.conf | 02:38 |
| Cheri703 | ok | 02:39 |
| Cheri703 | I still feel bad | 02:39 |
| WFeather | gabriel ill give that a go next | 02:39 |
| WFeather | if the dpkg didnt work | 02:39 |
| johnny77 | paultag: no problem. just thought I'd check. I'd sitting in desktop mode now. Can't stand the new netbook interface. BTW: what's ftbfs? | 02:39 |
| josuchav1 | hey I have some software that I need to install but it's external to Ubuntu. I have a ZIP with the program. | 02:39 |
| paultag | johnny77, sorry -- failed to build from source | 02:39 |
| GabrielYYZ | cool, if you see an error message in the logs, do tell please | 02:39 |
| paultag | johnny77, that means that it compiled badly :) | 02:39 |
| isiah | bad complier! Bad! | 02:40 |
| paultag | josuchav1, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-source-files-in-ubuntu.html | 02:40 |
| isiah | no executed code for you! | 02:40 |
| paultag | isiah, :) | 02:40 |
| WFeather | Gabrial, runnign Failsafe X | 02:40 |
| WFeather | got me to regular logon screen | 02:40 |
| WFeather | and its in like regular now | 02:40 |
| GabrielYYZ | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Testing/Failsafe check that for info | 02:40 |
| josuchav1 | Cool, I'll give it a read | 02:41 |
| isiah | hey josuchav1 i can give you a hand with source building, your talking to a guy that built xchat from source to get millisecond increases in time. | 02:41 |
| josuchav1 | thnx | 02:41 |
| josuchav1 | |o| | 02:41 |
| WFeather | hmm, tried going into the netbook edition | 02:41 |
| WFeather | "No required driver detected for unity" | 02:41 |
| isiah | you broke the internet it seems | 02:42 |
| GabrielYYZ | what graphics card do you have on it? | 02:42 |
| johnny77 | paultag: no problem, just curious. | 02:42 |
| WFeather | how would i go about removing unity? | 02:42 |
| WFeather | Gabriel, the one packaged with the i7 620m | 02:42 |
| isiah | a hammer? | 02:42 |
| WFeather | so intel integrated | 02:42 |
| isiah | i still think LiveCD is the way to remove it | 02:43 |
| GabrielYYZ | did you install a propietary driver for that? | 02:43 |
| GabrielYYZ | or did you go with nouveau? | 02:43 |
| WFeather | gabriel, i didnt install any driver for it | 02:43 |
| WFeather | whatever it did by stock | 02:43 |
| WFeather | so boot in with a live CD | 02:43 |
| WFeather | i'm in the desktop now | 02:43 |
| Cheri703 | sudo apt-get remove (or purge) unity | 02:43 |
| Cheri703 | probably | 02:43 |
| isiah | yes and if that doesnt work, track the file down and rm it to hell | 02:43 |
| GabrielYYZ | let me check something | 02:43 |
| Cheri703 | but maybe don't listen to me anymore :/ | 02:43 |
| WFeather | lol -- since i'm in the desktop now couldnt i just remove it here ? | 02:44 |
| isiah | yes | 02:44 |
| WFeather | so do what command ? | 02:44 |
| isiah | sudo aptitude remove unity | 02:44 |
| isiah | && echo "I hate this program" | 02:44 |
| WFeather | when i type: | 02:44 |
| WFeather | sudo aptitude remove unity | 02:45 |
| WFeather | i says "dudo: aptitude: command not found" | 02:45 |
| WFeather | sudo* | 02:45 |
| isiah | try apt-get then | 02:45 |
| WFeather | k | 02:45 |
| isiah | instead of aptitude | 02:45 |
| WFeather | k, its doing it now | 02:45 |
| isiah | yes! | 02:45 |
| WFeather | restarting lets see what it does | 02:45 |
| WFeather | ....guess no unity for me :D | 02:45 |
| josuchav | that's cool.... ok, first thing I see here is that I already unpacked the compressed file... should I delete the extracted stuff | 02:45 |
| isiah | (in Brain from Pinky and the Brain) | 02:46 |
| WFeather | ....removed unity and sitll same issue | 02:46 |
| WFeather | go in with a live CD now ? | 02:46 |
| isiah | what do you see WFeather? | 02:46 |
| WFeather | just the background image | 02:46 |
| WFeather | nothing else | 02:46 |
| isiah | josuchav ok move the file to where you plan to build it | 02:46 |
| isiah | so, how did you type anything in? | 02:46 |
| GabrielYYZ | i'd say check the logs, maybe unity wasn't the problem after all | 02:46 |
| WFeather | i had to use failsafex | 02:47 |
| WFeather | toget in | 02:47 |
| isiah | this failsafe confuses m | 02:47 |
| isiah | me | 02:47 |
| isiah | I have never used it | 02:47 |
| WFeather | it runs ubuntu in low-graphics mode | 02:48 |
| WFeather | bypassing the gfx driver i assume | 02:48 |
| WFeather | GabrielYYZ | 02:48 |
| GabrielYYZ | failsafe is like that windows mode | 02:48 |
| WFeather | where do i go to see the log ? | 02:48 |
| isiah | and you must re-login to get out of it? | 02:48 |
| isiah | josuchav: you should be able to find where to move it in the readme file | 02:48 |
| GabrielYYZ | WFeather: i assume system > administration > log file viewer | 02:49 |
| WFeather | ok, which log do you want me to look at ? | 02:49 |
| josuchav | ok | 02:49 |
| josuchav | checkin | 02:49 |
| GabrielYYZ | Xorg, daemon, boot and syslog | 02:49 |
| WFeather | one sec | 02:49 |
| WFeather | let me check something... | 02:49 |
| GabrielYYZ | see if there are any errors with graphics or anything else | 02:49 |
| WFeather | maybe it was popping up on my 24" monitor | 02:50 |
| WFeather | just relized it was still plugged into my docking station | 02:50 |
| WFeather | yup...that seems to have been it | 02:50 |
| WFeather | netbook edition seems to still be there though | 02:50 |
| isiah | josuchav: 9 out of 10 its /usr/local/bin | 02:51 |
| josuchav | it doesn't have a readme | 02:52 |
| GabrielYYZ | WFeather: found anything? | 02:52 |
| WFeather | gabriel | 02:52 |
| WFeather | i was hardware thing for me | 02:52 |
| WFeather | my 24" samsugn monitory (where i am talkign with you guys from my desktop) | 02:52 |
| WFeather | was plugged into the docking station(where the tablet is now) | 02:52 |
| isiah | ok josuchav could you send me a link to it, so i can see it? | 02:52 |
| WFeather | and ubuntu was assigning the external as the primary | 02:52 |
| GabrielYYZ | ah so that screwed the display of the tablet? | 02:53 |
| WFeather | though within the OS i have it set as well not the primary | 02:53 |
| WFeather | by installing unity the driver was probably reset | 02:53 |
| josuchav | I don't remember where I got it | 02:53 |
| Cheri703 | ahhh, that makes sense WFeather | 02:53 |
| josuchav | :-/ | 02:53 |
| isiah | you can drop it off with me | 02:53 |
| isiah | engine73@gmail.com | 02:54 |
| GabrielYYZ | definitely | 02:54 |
| WFeather | trying to log into unity gives me black screen | 02:54 |
| WFeather | anyone willing to bet the 24" and dual display thing was messing up unity and the driver? | 02:54 |
| GabrielYYZ | i am | 02:54 |
| Cheri703 | WFeather: if you use dual monitors often, I found an awesome script to change primary monitor | 02:54 |
| WFeather | what was the install command again? | 02:55 |
| WFeather | it is still in the list, but it is removed | 02:55 |
| Cheri703 | sudo apt-get install unity | 02:55 |
| GabrielYYZ | sudo apt-get install xxxx | 02:55 |
| isiah | yes! no one type that! | 02:55 |
| isiah | it blows up the internet | 02:55 |
| WFeather | yup | 02:56 |
| WFeather | that was it | 02:56 |
| WFeather | in unity now | 02:56 |
| Cheri703 | woo! | 02:56 |
| GabrielYYZ | coolio | 02:56 |
| WFeather | and one last question now ;) | 02:56 |
| josuchav | isiah, you want me to emaiI it to you? | 02:56 |
| isiah | yes | 02:56 |
| isiah | email female | 02:56 |
| WFeather | can i disable the finger touch, while leaving the digitizer active | 02:56 |
| WFeather | i like doing touch, but when i want to use it to write with the digitizer it messes up, i have it set in windows to | 02:57 |
| WFeather | but cant figure out how in ubuntu | 02:57 |
| Cheri703 | if you have interest in the dual monitor thing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1052784 | 02:57 |
| josuchav | lol, ok... | 02:57 |
| WFeather | its not too often that i use two monitors, but ill take a look here in a min | 02:57 |
| josuchav | workin on sendin it | 02:57 |
| Cheri703 | it's handy | 02:57 |
| WFeather | i'm guessing not alot of people have had questions about touch interface ;) | 02:58 |
| Cheri703 | not so far that I'm aware of, paultag might know? | 02:58 |
| WFeather | that was a big reason i did 10.10, read that touch was fully implemented now | 02:58 |
| paultag | heyo | 02:58 |
| Cheri703 | know much about touch? | 02:58 |
| paultag | Cheri703, none :( | 02:58 |
| Cheri703 | hmm..k | 02:58 |
| Cheri703 | wasn't sure | 02:58 |
| paultag | WFeather, I'm going to be honest, I've got no clue. Might want to ask in #ubuntu-kernel or #ubuntu | 02:59 |
| paultag | or #ubuntu+1 | 02:59 |
| WFeather | k, ill look at kernel, too many dam people in ubuntu | 02:59 |
| WFeather | i went there first and no help after 12 asking of the question | 02:59 |
| WFeather | 1 minute here ;) | 02:59 |
| WFeather | hmm, another question now....i installed Office 2k7 through wine | 03:00 |
| WFeather | and now cant get it to remove | 03:00 |
| WFeather | Wine just freezes up now | 03:00 |
| WFeather | well everything but "Microsoft Enterprise 2007" is removing fine | 03:01 |
| GabrielYYZ | i'm windows free :S i don't even have wine | 03:01 |

| isiah | #ubuntu-beginners-team | 03:05 |
| WFeather | anyone ablet o help on a WINE issue ? | 03:06 |
| isiah | wine is the tool of the devil! In my day we dual-booted and thats the way we liked it god-dang it! | 03:06 |
| GabrielYYZ | personally, i'd refer you to ubuntuforums, unless someone here is able to help with it | 03:07 |
| WFeather | i do dual boot ;) | 03:07 |
| WFeather | so go to #ubuntuforums | 03:07 |
| WFeather | ? | 03:07 |
| Cheri703 | or #wine I think | 03:07 |
| WFeather | hmm, there is a wine channel ? | 03:07 |
| Cheri703 | I believe so | 03:07 |
| WFeather | lets find out | 03:07 |
| GabrielYYZ | there is | 03:08 |
| GabrielYYZ | winehq | 03:08 |
| Cheri703 | but it's not #wine | 03:08 |
| WFeather | yup | 03:08 |
| WFeather | in it now | 03:08 |
| Cheri703 | there you go | 03:08 |
| seidos | WFeather, forums as in http://www.ubuntuforums.org | 03:08 |
| WFeather | o the actual forums | 03:09 |
| WFeather | i know there is a forums channel as well | 03:09 |
| GabrielYYZ | i didn't clarify 'cause #wine seemed like a better idea | 03:09 |
| WFeather | wehn you just do #wine | 03:09 |
| WFeather | it forwards you to #winehq | 03:09 |
| GabrielYYZ | yeah, it does | 03:10 |
| josuchav | how do I move up in directory in terminal | 03:14 |
| isiah | cd .. | 03:15 |
| GabrielYYZ | i think it's cd.. | 03:15 |
| GabrielYYZ | ah there you go | 03:15 |
| josuchav | thnx | 03:15 |
| stlsaint | GabrielYYZ: space inbetween the cd and .. | 03:15 |
| GabrielYYZ | oh yeah | 03:15 |
| GabrielYYZ | got distracted with a notification >.> | 03:16 |
| johnny77 | If I wanted to increase the partition that Ubuntu is installed one basically I would shrink the Windows partition then expand the Ubuntu partition, right? | 03:18 |
| WFeather | yes | 03:19 |
| isiah | yes, in the sense if you wanted to rule the world all you must do is convince 51% o people that you should | 03:19 |
| WFeather | you can just shrink windows with something like gparted, and expand the linux one | 03:21 |
| WFeather | i've done it several times | 03:21 |
| WFeather | what is the best way to remove stuff from the gnome menu? | 03:29 |
| Cheri703 | system > preferences > main menu | 03:31 |
| Cheri703 | I think | 03:31 |
| WFeather | ahh yes maybe that is what i want | 03:31 |
| WFeather | i can do delete there | 03:31 |
| stlsaint | johnny77: be careful with that process | 03:31 |
| johnny77 | stlsaint: messing with the partitions? Yeah, i will. | 03:32 |
| stlsaint | johnny77: cool | 03:33 |
| johnny77 | stlsaint: I think I have plenty of room right now, but maybe down the road I might need more. Just wanted to make sure I understood the process. | 03:34 |
| WFeather | that is the basics of it atleast... but ya careful with it | 03:34 |
| WFeather | since the winehq channel doesnt seem to want to answer this -- whats the best way to install via wine? | 03:35 |
| stlsaint | johnny77: yea,expanding can become a serious issue, i suggest that folks just edit fstab to mount the extra partition to be utilized by home | 03:35 |
| WFeather | by rightclicking setup.exe and running with wine ? | 03:35 |
| stlsaint | WFeather: the wine menu has a installer or you can right click the .exe and choose install wine | 03:35 |
| WFeather | where is the installer in the men? | 03:36 |
| WFeather | menu* | 03:36 |
| stlsaint | WFeather: you trying to install a app via wine? | 03:36 |
| WFeather | yes | 03:36 |
| stlsaint | meh, just right click and choose install with wine | 03:36 |
| WFeather | MS Office 2k7 | 03:36 |
| johnny77 | stlsaint: I have the windows partition mounted automatically when I boot into ubuntu. I know I can write to this drive, but of course, I can't install anything. | 03:36 |
| WFeather | thats the same as: "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader | 03:36 |
| WFeather | right ? | 03:36 |
| stlsaint | WFeather: yep | 03:36 |
| stlsaint | johnny77: aye | 03:36 |
| WFeather | hmm, getting: | 03:37 |
| WFeather | "Setup did not complete successfully. we are sorry" | 03:37 |
| WFeather | getting that error on other .exe i have as well | 03:51 |
| WFeather | ...any idea ? winhq channel isnt responding to my question atm -- guessing they disappeared | 03:51 |
| Cheri703 | I pretty much gave up on uninstalling some of the wine stuff I had :/ I couldn't get it to uninstall properly | 03:52 |
| WFeather | i got rid of it all | 03:53 |
| WFeather | cant install now | 03:53 |
| Cheri703 | ah, ok | 03:53 |
| Cheri703 | :( | 03:53 |
| Cheri703 | I went to a virtual box, but even that was having issues lately :( | 03:53 |
| WFeather | tell me about it, neither Office 2k7 or One Note 2k7 is | 03:53 |
| Mohan_chml | WFeather: Sowwie I did not look at the logs. and please have Wine as Plan B at whatever situation | 03:54 |
| WFeather | huh ? wine is giving me: "Setup did not complete successfully." | 03:54 |
| WFeather | error whenever it ry and run a .exe | 03:54 |
| Mohan_chml | WFeather: what is the reason for getting to wine? | 03:54 |
| WFeather | i have win 7 on the PC as well for when i do some games, or office 2k | 03:55 |
| WFeather | 7 | 03:55 |
| WFeather | i want One note | 03:55 |
| Mohan_chml | Abi work and other applications didn't satisfy you? | 03:55 |
| Mohan_chml | abi Word* | 03:55 |
| WFeather | not for tablet use | 03:56 |
| WFeather | havent tried Abi word, OpenOffice does great for typing | 03:56 |
| Mohan_chml | hmmm! | 03:56 |
| genupulas | Mohan_chml, good morning | 03:56 |
| WFeather | but i want to use digitizer ;) | 03:56 |
| genupulas | Mohan_chml, last night i have register with nickserv | 03:57 |
| Mohan_chml | WFeather: and #winehq is not helping ya?? | 03:57 |
| WFeather | it went quite | 03:57 |
| Mohan_chml | genupulas: cool | 03:57 |
| Mohan_chml | WFeather: I think the heads are away now | 03:58 |
| WFeather | probably a few were talking a min or 2 ago | 03:58 |
| WFeather | 7 to be exact | 03:58 |
| Mohan_chml | WFeather: you googled about your issue? | 03:59 |
| genupulas | Mohan_chml, my tea hot | 03:59 |
| WFeather | no since i figured winhq would help (it just happened a few min ago) | 03:59 |
| WFeather | about to google it though since no answer there | 03:59 |
| Mohan_chml | genupulas: speak in -team | 03:59 |
| Cheri703 | WFeather: I'm glad I didn't kill your tablet earlier :) and now I know to ask if someone has a second monitor plugged in :) | 03:59 |
| WFeather | lol, you wouldnt have killed it anyhow | 03:59 |
| WFeather | Ubuntu is on there as a second OS | 03:59 |
| WFeather | that i use when i dont want to do windowz | 03:59 |
| Cheri703 | I have a question, before, my computer did fine when I unplugged it (this is a netbook), but now, every time I unplug, i get the "laptop battery critically low, computer will hibernate very soon unless it is plugged in" message. even when fully charged, any thoughts? | 04:00 |
| Mohan_chml | Cheri703: checked with some other battery?? | 04:01 |
| Cheri703 | only have the one. and my battery life is fine | 04:01 |
| Cheri703 | it's the meter somehow | 04:01 |
| WFeather | your install is having an issue reading it it soudns like....no idea how to fix it | 04:02 |
| Cheri703 | before, the icon would show fine, but the popup alert when unplugging would say "1 minute remaining" or something, but when I clicked on the icon, it'd be accurate(er), so there are 2 different power monitoring/displaying systems at work | 04:02 |
| WFeather | hmm, googling = no good answer | 04:02 |
| Cheri703 | if I click the battery icon now, it says 4 hrs 10 min left, but when I unplugged it told me critical low >.< | 04:03 |
| Cheri703 | it's not a huge deal, just annoying | 04:03 |
| Mohan_chml | WFeather: you installed from Software center? | 04:04 |
| WFeather | installed wine from there | 04:04 |
| WFeather | yes | 04:04 |
| Mohan_chml | and the configuration shows you some errors right? | 04:06 |
| WFeather | config isnt | 04:06 |
| WFeather | its when i try running it | 04:06 |
| Mohan_chml | WFeather: you clciked configure wine and selected windows 7 ? | 04:07 |
| WFeather | even after using terminal to remove | 04:08 |
| WFeather | then install wine | 04:08 |
| WFeather | i get the issue | 04:08 |
| WFeather | install through what ? | 04:08 |
| WFeather | go to wine configuration | 04:08 |
| WFeather | then what ? | 04:08 |
| Mohan_chml | WFeather: select the windows version in "Applications" | 04:09 |
| WFeather | ok, then try what i have been doing ? | 04:09 |
| Mohan_chml | WFeather: and copy the application you want to run, to home | 04:10 |
| WFeather | i have the whole disc copied to my desktop, so move it to /home | 04:10 |
| WFeather | instead? its not installed yet | 04:10 |
| Mohan_chml | WFeather: copy the .exe file which you have to run. If it has some other codecs along with it, copy the whole folder. I mean copy the backup you have | 04:11 |
| Mohan_chml | WFeather: enough if it is in desktop | 04:11 |
| Mohan_chml | now | 04:11 |
| WFeather | ok, the whole MS Office 2007 folder is copied over to /home/user | 04:12 |
| Mohan_chml | hit add application | 04:12 |
| WFeather | just /home or into my user folder ? | 04:12 |
| Mohan_chml | WFeather: your user folder or in the desktop | 04:12 |
| WFeather | ok | 04:12 |
| WFeather | then in wine configuration, go to applications tab, and then add application | 04:12 |
| WFeather | ? | 04:12 |
| Mohan_chml | yes | 04:13 |
| WFeather | ok, select the setup.exe from there ? | 04:13 |
| Mohan_chml | yup | 04:13 |
| WFeather | k | 04:13 |

| WFeather | would having an SSD be an issue ? | 04:20 |
| WFeather | or maybe try the beta release of wine? i was ablet o install with that | 04:21 |
| Mohan_chml | idk about this. A proper winehq er can answer ya as I hate wine:( | 04:21 |
| WFeather | lol | 04:21 |
| Mohan_chml | WFeather: mention them about the error code if some comes | 04:25 |
| Mohan_chml | and tell them about the driver detection too | 04:26 |

| blackwood | Can anybody recommend a good icon set for ubuntu | 09:07 |
| Mohan_chml | blackwood: It depends on your wish and the environment you like to work. professional, Entertainment and mainly dark and light themes | 09:08 |
| hobgoblin | blackwood: that is a question likely to result in many differing answers :) I use the elementary theme and icons | 09:08 |
| Mohan_chml | Hola hobgoblin :) | 09:08 |
| hobgoblin | goodnow Mohan_chml | 09:08 |
| blackwood | I want something that will look good with my space wallpaper...any suggestion/recommendations? | 09:10 |
| Mohan_chml | hobgoblin: saw my PM? | 09:11 |
| blackwood | has anybody heard of Faenza icon set | 09:12 |
| Mohan_chml | blackwood: Nope. But I will look it now | 09:13 |
| hobgoblin | think I heard of it somewhere - but I don't muck about much anymore with themes | 09:14 |
| blackwood | check out gnome-look for more details | 09:14 |
| blackwood | it seems pretty popular. I just wanted to know if anybody has used it before. | 09:15 |
| blackwood | looks promising | 09:15 |
| hobgoblin | well I won't be using it as I am happy with what I have :) | 09:15 |
| Mohan_chml | blackwood: I just looked at the icons here. http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/211/4/8/Faenza_Icons_by_tiheum.png | 09:16 |
| blackwood | on the same page no LOL | 09:17 |
| Mohan_chml | that is kinda normal (: | 09:17 |
| blackwood | I heard there were some more outlandish versions of this style. | 09:17 |
| hobgoblin | I don't like that at all :( | 09:18 |
| blackwood | more chrome I think | 09:18 |
| blackwood | no good huh? | 09:18 |
| blackwood | What do you guys use | 09:18 |
| Mohan_chml | blackwood: elementary themes | 09:19 |
| hobgoblin | mmmm - unless it has changed since I last told you - elementary :) | 09:19 |
| blackwood | hobgoblin: you never know??? | 09:19 |
| blackwood | are there any really good icon sets out there - I mean really good | 09:20 |
| Mohan_chml | blackwood: some of my friends around my locality uses Ultimate edition themes. but idk how good it is | 09:20 |
| blackwood | let me google it | 09:20 |
| hobgoblin | blackwood: it is not an answerable question - it is all about personal aesthetics | 09:20 |
| hobgoblin | blackwood: have you seen the various screenshot threads on the forum? - there are hundreds of different themes there | 09:21 |
| blackwood | dude it looks like a version of Vista! | 09:21 |
| blackwood | Mohan_chml: that last post was intended for you | 09:22 |
| Mohan_chml | blackwood: I never used 'em. its my friends :P | 09:22 |
| blackwood | hobgoblin: I'll take a look...to be honest there are so many I can't make up my mind | 09:22 |
| blackwood | Mohan_chml: sure... | 09:23 |
| blackwood | Mohan_chml: JJ | 09:23 |
| Mohan_chml | blackwood: do apply a theme what you like :) | 09:23 |
| blackwood | Mohan_chml: sorry, say that again | 09:23 |
| Mohan_chml | I mean select a theme that you like | 09:24 |
| Mohan_chml | (: | 09:24 |
| blackwood | Mohan_chml: I pretty satisfied with the default theme, but as the saying goes the grass always appears greener on the other side | 09:24 |
| Mohan_chml | It happens. And if you like to go for a try, then make it and you can come back to default :) | 09:25 |
| blackwood | Cool :-) , I'll let you know how I get on | 09:26 |
| Mohan_chml | (: | 09:27 |
| blackwood | on a separate note, have you guys visited OMG Ubuntu.com? | 09:27 |
| hobgoblin | I hate that site with a passion | 09:27 |
| blackwood | the best site out there in my opinion | 09:27 |
| blackwood | May I ask why? | 09:28 |
| hobgoblin | I hate whiners and zealots | 09:28 |
| hobgoblin | and fanbois | 09:29 |
| blackwood | are you referring to the people who use it (in which case I agree to some extent) or the authors? | 09:29 |
| hobgoblin | I care not who looks at it :) I do not like the articles at all - but anyway enough of that - this is a support channel :) | 09:29 |
| blackwood | fair enough. Take care guys ;-) | 09:30 |
| blackwood | can anybody tell me if the ATI 5650 mobile cards work on ubuntu 10.10 | 10:00 |

| ehcah | Can someone help me with this Virtual Box error: Could not create a directory '/media/Virtual OS/Win95' to save the settings file (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED). | 19:34 |
| bioterror | $ sudo chown -R username.vboxusers /home/username/.VirtualBox and in this way you’ll create a new user in the VirtualBox group (substitute “username” with your username). | 19:35 |
| ehcah | bioterror: How on earth did I lose access to this drive? I had another Virtual OS running on it? | 19:36 |
| ehcah | BTW - Thank you. | 19:36 |
| haakoo | I have a problem with my laptop. When I close the lid, and then open it again, the computer wont come back from hibernation (or what it does), and I have to restart holding down the power button. Any ideas? | 19:36 |
| bioterror | hope that helps | 19:36 |
| bioterror | haakoo, yes | 19:37 |
| ehcah | tell you shortly. | 19:37 |
| bioterror | haakoo, when you boot your laptop, and there's this grub. edit the bootline | 19:37 |
| bioterror | in the end there should read "nomodeset" | 19:37 |
| bioterror | haakoo, we might loose sound or something, but let's test that first | 19:38 |
| hobgoblin | lol - that statement would strike terror into me :) | 19:39 |
| bioterror | well | 19:39 |
| bioterror | I would rather take working suspend/resume than sounds :-) | 19:39 |
| haakoo | at times like this I should've had two computers available | 19:41 |
| ehcah | bioterror: If I created a seperate partition to keep my virtual OS's. Do I change the path from /home/username/.Virtualbox to ~/<new_partition>/ ? | 19:41 |
| bioterror | I would think so | 19:42 |
| ehcah | k. | 19:42 |
| hobgoblin | ehcah: you might need to fiddle about a bit with the virtual machine manager tool if you get issues - but if they have not been created yet then that will work | 19:48 |
| hobgoblin | I do the same thing here | 19:49 |
| ehcah | hobgoblin/bioterror: I made sure /media/Virtual\ OS\ Drive/ has jason:jason permission. | 19:51 |
| ehcah | I still can't create the virtual hard drive. Same error message. | 19:51 |
| geirha | find ~/.VirtualBox/ ! -user jason # lists all files under ~/.VirtualBox not owned by you | 19:55 |
| ehcah | geirha: Thank you. I will try that. | 19:56 |
| geirha | I'm assuming ~/.VirtualBox is a symlink to '/media/Virtual OS Drive/' | 19:56 |
| bioterror | haakoo-, works? | 19:57 |
| haakoo- | about to try now | 19:57 |
| bioterror | oki | 19:57 |
| bioterror | you added that nomodeset | 19:57 |
| bioterror | at the end | 19:57 |
| haakoo- | never saw grub when I booted | 19:59 |
| bioterror | you can also edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 19:59 |
| bioterror | :-) | 19:59 |
| bioterror | but you should press | 19:59 |
| bioterror | was it esc or f1 when booting | 19:59 |
| haakoo- | think is esc | 19:59 |
| bioterror | and you get that grub selection screen | 19:59 |
| haakoo- | the only think I see before I get the login background is a flashing '_' in the corner | 20:02 |
| haakoo- | thing* | 20:02 |
| hobgoblin | esc for grub legacy shift for grub2 I think | 20:02 |
| bioterror | you should hammer it right after the bios screen :-) | 20:02 |
| haakoo- | shitf it was! | 20:05 |
| bioterror | now add that nomodeset in the end | 20:05 |
| haakoo- | on the line with initrd ? | 20:05 |

| hobgoblin | ihatelinux: hang about for a while and see who reads the logs - I'd help but I can't | 20:10 |
| ihatelinux | ok | 20:10 |
| ihatelinux | can anyone give me step-by-step instructions for setting up the web interface in cups? | 20:15 |
| haakoo- | bioterror: doesn't seem to be helping, improvement though, I get a mousepointer, not just some IRQ error rolling over the screen | 20:15 |
| bioterror | okay | 20:16 |
| bioterror | haakoo-, what kind of hardware are you using? | 20:16 |
| haakoo- | Acer Aspire 6935 | 20:16 |
| bioterror | my former Dell D600 used to freeze on resume | 20:16 |
| bioterror | and nomodeset was teh cure for the graphics chip | 20:16 |
| haakoo- | i also have trouble with the "touch panel" on the left hand side, but first thing first | 20:17 |
| bioterror | haakoo-, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/345915 you're not alone with your problem | 20:18 |

| hobgoblin | ihatelinux: I assume you have still not been able to see the community docs? | 20:18 |
| ihatelinux | which docs are u speaking of? | 20:18 |
| hobgoblin | ihatelinux: I also assume you are windows lover on the forums | 20:19 |
| ihatelinux | yes.... how did you know that | 20:19 |
| ihatelinux | i have looked everywhere | 20:19 |
| bioterror | hobgoblin must own a crystalball | 20:19 |
| Cheri703 | ihatelinux: what are you typing in to see the cups interface? | 20:19 |
| Cheri703 | and/or have you set up the print server? | 20:19 |
| ihatelinux | I am trying to set up the print server | 20:20 |
| ihatelinux | smaba works just fine but cups hates me | 20:20 |
| Cheri703 | are you doing this all from command line? | 20:20 |
| ihatelinux | yes | 20:20 |
| Cheri703 | :/ ok | 20:21 |
| ihatelinux | i believe the problem is in the "listen" section of the configuration file | 20:21 |
| Cheri703 | one sec | 20:21 |
| haakoo- | bioterror: cheers, I might make another duplicate | 20:22 |
| bioterror | haakoo-, you should | 20:22 |
| bioterror | haakoo, you can also try to search more. but I think the problem lies somewhere in the graphics or something | 20:22 |
| Cheri703 | ihatelinux: Set it to listen for connections from other machines | 20:23 |
| Cheri703 | In the config file: | 20:23 |
| Cheri703 | change: Listen localhost:631 | 20:23 |
| Cheri703 | to: Listen 631 | 20:23 |
| ihatelinux | i have tried that | 20:23 |
| Cheri703 | this is old, but it has some steps (I'm still looking): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=310450 | 20:24 |
| ihatelinux | still no dice | 20:24 |
| Cheri703 | another: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=240282 | 20:24 |
| hobgoblin | Cheri703: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1596818 is what ihatelinux has done so far | 20:24 |
| Cheri703 | ah, ok | 20:25 |
| Cheri703 | sorry | 20:25 |
| haakoo- | bioterror: that sounds plausible | 20:25 |
| ihatelinux | yes i looked at both of those guides neither worked for me, though it is probably my fault | 20:25 |
| Cheri703 | was helping my mom set up a google calendar over the phone earlier >.< | 20:25 |
| Cheri703 | can you uninstall cups and reinstall it? might reset any changes you made | 20:25 |
| ihatelinux | how do i do that? | 20:26 |
| ihatelinux | sorry i am new to linux :( | 20:26 |
| Cheri703 | sudo apt-get remove *whatever cups is called officially* then sudo apt-get install *whatever cups is called officially* I think...will look for package name, one sec, I'm doing like 4 things at once | 20:27 |
| ihatelinux | hobgoblin: how do you know everything that I have done thus far? | 20:28 |
| hobgoblin | Cheri703: you'd need to purge I think to remove any system confs | 20:28 |
| hobgoblin | might even be something in home as well | 20:28 |
| Cheri703 | ok, so sudo apt-get remove --purge *blahblah cups* | 20:29 |
| ihatelinux | ok | 20:29 |
| hobgoblin | ihatelinux: I have a different name on the forums | 20:29 |
| ihatelinux | o ok thought so | 20:29 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 20:30 |
| hobgoblin | ihatelinux: I keep the two things seperate | 20:30 |
| ehcah | Any idea why I can not change the permissions of a directory? I've tried as root, myself and sudo as myself. | 20:30 |
| ehcah | chmod u+rxw /media/Virtual\ OS\ Drive | 20:30 |
| ehcah | drwx------ 1 jason jason 4096 2010-10-17 15:28 Virtual OS Drive | 20:30 |
| ehcah | I can not change the owner, user or group settings? | 20:31 |
| ehcah | The above chmod command was just an example | 20:31 |
| hobgoblin | ehcah: is it a linux drive | 20:31 |
| chavezgt | hi, pleas i have problems with my screen display, I've tried changing & restoring my resolution, sometimes it works, but each time I reboot my computer, it starts all over again. & sometimes it doesn't work at all. Here's a screenshot of my desktop:http://imagebin.org/118946 | 20:32 |
| ehcah | hobgoblin: My laptop has 1 x 500GB drive and this a 100GB partition I created for Virtual Operating System Testing. | 20:32 |
| hobgoblin | yea - but is it linux windows mac? the partition you are trying to change | 20:33 |
| bioterror | chavezgt, you should kill your X and run "xorg -configure" and move the new xorg.conf file to /etc/X11/ | 20:33 |
| ihatelinux | cheri708: so i remove cups then reinstall then try this all over again? | 20:33 |
| ehcah | Linux - Ubuntu 10.10. Sorry. | 20:33 |
| Cheri703 | I think... | 20:33 |
| Cheri703 | I'm checking sorry | 20:33 |
| ihatelinux | when i started i was using the official Ubuntu server documentation but that didn't seen to work | 20:34 |
| ihatelinux | seem* | 20:34 |
| chavezgt | bioterror, after a while it corrects itself, when i change the font in desktop preferences, can some fonts be incorrectly installed?, if so, how can I reinstall them? | 20:35 |
| hobgoblin | ehcah: you use numbers to change them - see this page - very useful http://ss64.com/bash/chmod.html | 20:35 |
| bioterror | chavezgt, looks like xorg problems to me. nothing to do with fonts | 20:35 |
| Cheri703 | it looks like it's just called "cups" and I'd suggest you check home folder to see if any cups folders appeared, and then do a "sudo apt-get remove --purge cups" | 20:35 |
| Cheri703 | and then install | 20:35 |
| Cheri703 | don't hate me if it doesn't work! :/ | 20:36 |
| ihatelinux | cheri: plus when i try to go to"ip address of the server":631 i get a 404 forbiden | 20:36 |
| ihatelinux | ok i'll do that then try again | 20:36 |
| ehcah | hobgoblin: I will try your page. I was following: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 20:36 |
| chavezgt | bioterror, ok, how can i do what you told me?, I'm kind of newbie... | 20:37 |
| hobgoblin | chavezgt: what grpahics card is it? | 20:37 |
| chavezgt | ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M] | 20:39 |
| bioterror | chavezgt, do "lspci" | 20:39 |
| bioterror | oh | 20:39 |
| bioterror | you got it | 20:39 |
| chavezgt | bioterror, ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M] | 20:39 |
| hobgoblin | ehcah: the other thing is - while you might be changing permissions with chmod have you chowned it yet? | 20:39 |
| hobgoblin | chavezgt: you might find that resetting xorg in the recovery menu gets you back to a readable screen | 20:40 |
| ehcah | isn't chown only to move a file or directory from root or user ownership? | 20:40 |
| hobgoblin | ehcah: you;ve checked you don't need to then | 20:42 |
| chavezgt | hobgoblin:excuse me, where is the recovery menu? | 20:43 |
| bioterror | in grub | 20:43 |
| bioterror | when you boot | 20:43 |
| chavezgt | the bios? | 20:44 |
| bioterror | same thing where you added that nomodeset | 20:45 |
| bioterror | you see the list of lines | 20:45 |
| bioterror | you can choose | 20:45 |
| taffy | looking for help to install jondo and jondofox on meerkat | 20:47 |
| hobgoblin | what is that taffy ? | 20:48 |
| chavezgt | bioterror: how can i open grub?, when i boot it directly runs ubuntu | 20:49 |
| bioterror | aaahhh | 20:49 |
| hobgoblin | chavezgt: shift just after the post menu | 20:49 |
| bioterror | with shift | 20:49 |
| bioterror | hahaha, I was thinking that you were haakoo | 20:49 |
| bioterror | hahaha | 20:49 |
| bioterror | sorry :-) | 20:49 |
| taffy | been trying toset up jondo, etc but keep failing? | 20:49 |
| hobgoblin | taffy: what is it? | 20:50 |
| hobgoblin | taffy: is it some windows anonymising tool? | 20:50 |
| taffy | hobgoblin: need help to set up Jondo | 20:50 |
| taffy | correct | 20:51 |
| chavezgt | bioterror, hobgoblin: ok, after I run recovery mode, what should i look for? | 20:51 |
| bioterror | reconfigure X Server | 20:51 |
| chavezgt | with the terminal? | 20:51 |
| hobgoblin | taffy: I doubt if you will have much luck getting it to work in linux - possibly with wine - but I'd be surprised - look into Tor instead for linux - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tor | 20:52 |
| bioterror | chavezgt, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 20:52 |
| hobgoblin | taffy: and https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian | 20:52 |
| taffy | hobgoblin: it works fine on linux. But can't recall how I set it up a couple of days ago on another system... | 20:54 |
| taffy | will try tor and vidalia...cheerz | 20:54 |
| hobgoblin | oh - nice one - not that I can help though :( there are a few in here will be able to help though | 20:55 |
| chavezgt | bioterror, hobgoblin: ok, thank you, i'll reboot. | 20:55 |

| bobo123 | kosaidpo: that sounds like something with apache webserver or? you could probably ask in #httpd for more people | 21:07 |
| kosaidpo | bobo123: okies thanks | 21:07 |
| kosaidpo | bobo123: ohh it says can not send to channel | 21:08 |
| bobo123 | kosaidpo: hm? you can't go to the #httpd irc-channel? can you open #apache chat channel (where it tells you to go to #httpd instead) ? | 21:11 |
| ehcah | hobgoblin: I've tried every command that I can find, and still can not change permissions of my new partition, or any subfolder. drwx------ 1 jason jason 0 2010-10-17 16:06 Windows7 | 21:12 |
| ehcah | I can not change the ownership from jason to root or vice-versa either? | 21:13 |
| bobo123 | kosaidpo: I guess #httpd requires you to register your name or something at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup | 21:13 |
| kosaidpo | bobo123: i went there also but when isned a msg it says can not send | 21:13 |
| kosaidpo | bobo123: yeh i guess that too | 21:13 |

| aleixosk | hi everybody, I have a pci card which isn't working. It's there; the output of lspci is alright, but t's just not being used... iwconfig doesn't show it. I don't really know what to do now. | 22:30 |
| aleixosk | It was working until two hours ago and then it wouldn't connect to my home network (that happens. sometimes. broadcom.) So I took it out an put it back where it was, and now this happens... | 22:30 |
| tmkdesigner | Hi anyone, i've installed ubuntu 10.10 on my MacBook Pro and loving it. But tried to get the 'at' key to work, can anyone please help? | 22:48 |
| latenite | Hi folks, I have set up my network like that: http://pastie.org/1228535 but when I boot my box gets http://pastie.org/1228538 why is it got setting the IP to 111 ? | 22:58 |
| LuisCarlos | Hi. I'm trying to install 10.10 netbook version, however, when I chose to install, It gets stuck | 23:05 |
| phillw | latenite: you might want to have look over at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=93 | 23:05 |
| phillw | LuisCarlos: have you run the cd self test? | 23:05 |
| LuisCarlos | I've installed some linux before in this same computer, in fact, I have installed 10.4 | 23:05 |
| LuisCarlos | It is a netbook, I'm using an USB | 23:06 |
| LuisCarlos | In fact, I'm running 10.10 netbook from an USB Flash in this moment | 23:06 |
| LuisCarlos | if I chose install, it does not do anything | 23:06 |
| phillw | does the usb install okay on a different computer? | 23:08 |
| LuisCarlos | I have no other computer to try. But, I'm running it from it now. | 23:08 |
| phillw | it may be worth re-making it. I cannot recall how to check a usb has burned okay, but will go dig it out if you want. | 23:08 |
| LuisCarlos | But, is it possible to the usb to be wrong even if it runs from it? | 23:09 |
| phillw | yeah, the install part is a different section to the 'run live' | 23:11 |
| friTTe| | o\ | 23:26 |
| friTTe| | LuisCarlos, if you doubleclick the install on the desktop then? | 23:27 |
| friTTe| | in know there were some bug with choosing install when you booted up the Usb, only took you to live cd modwe | 23:27 |
| LuisCarlos | @friTTe I tried that too | 23:36 |
| LuisCarlos | it get stuck as well | 23:37 |
| LuisCarlos | It keeps showing the "Preparing to install Ubuntu-netbook" screen | 23:37 |
| friTTe| | ok | 23:41 |
| friTTe| | what did you use to make the usb stick? | 23:41 |
| friTTe| | from a Linux computer? | 23:41 |

| seidos | hey |friTTe|. what's going on? looks like he left. | 23:45 |
| |friTTe| | ok | 23:45 |
| |friTTe| | hehe i have turned of logging in and out | 23:46 |
| |friTTe| | gets so messy otherwise | 23:46 |
| seidos | |friTTe|, irssi? | 23:50 |
| |friTTe| | wtf | 23:51 |
| |friTTe| | no Xchat | 23:51 |
| seidos | ah, same here. parts and joins don't really bother me. may brain has learned to ignore the color code | 23:51 |
| |friTTe| | yeah | 23:52 |
| seidos | my* | 23:52 |
| |friTTe| | hmm my tab button is weird | 23:52 |
| |friTTe| | why does all those come up | 23:52 |
| |friTTe| | brb | 23:52 |
| Cheri703 | so I don't know what it is called, but you know the envelope icon that does message notifications? | 23:52 |
| Cheri703 | is there a way to get xchat to work with it? and/or to make the away status thing work for xchat? | 23:53 |
| === friTTe| is now known as |friTTe| | ||
| |friTTe| | havent played around that much with the config | 23:53 |
| |friTTe| | shmm | 23:54 |
| seidos | Cheri703, maybe if you have coding skills. if there is a way other than that, i don't know of it...not that i could code my way out of a paper bag... | 23:54 |
| Cheri703 | :/ | 23:55 |
| Cheri703 | ok | 23:55 |
| * Cheri703 is not a coder | 23:55 | |
| |friTTe| | what wrong sedios with my tab? | 23:55 |
| |friTTe| | *seidos | 23:55 |
| Cheri703 | what is happening when you tab? | 23:55 |
| seidos | |friTTe|, i don't know. what are you trying to do? tab completing something? | 23:55 |
| |friTTe| | yeah for nick | 23:55 |
| Cheri703 | if you haven't typed enough letters to have it be one specific person, it lists everyone that it could be | 23:55 |
| seidos | what are you typing? s-e-i then tab? | 23:55 |
| |friTTe| | but even if the field is empty all the S comes up | 23:55 |
| seidos | when i hit tab without anything being in the field tab doesn't do anything O_o | 23:56 |
| |friTTe| | no | 23:56 |
| seidos | what version of xchat |friTTe| ? | 23:56 |
| |friTTe| | c seemed to work | 23:56 |
| |friTTe| | s screws it up | 23:56 |
| seidos | you want it to cycle threw the nicks? | 23:57 |
| |friTTe| | 2.8.8 | 23:57 |
| |friTTe| | yeah it does that for example c | 23:57 |
| seidos | what about p? | 23:57 |
| |friTTe| | hmm | 23:57 |
| |friTTe| | phaha | 23:57 |
| seidos | i think if there are a certain number of nicks it prints it out | 23:57 |
| |friTTe| | oh well | 23:57 |
| |friTTe| | first computer that does this on me | 23:58 |
| seidos | if you want it to be different, would have to change the code O_o | 23:58 |
| seidos | that's my guess | 23:58 |
| seidos | could be wrong | 23:58 |
| |friTTe| | well works on my other ones, but its no biggie | 23:58 |
| |friTTe| | hehe | 23:58 |
| seidos | but it looks like the behavior is the same on my end | 23:58 |
| seidos | O_o | 23:59 |
| |friTTe| | yeah and it prints them out aswell | 23:59 |
| |friTTe| | no need for enter | 23:59 |
| seidos | yeah, same here | 23:59 |
| seidos | s + tab lists the "s" nicks in the window | 23:59 |
| seidos | z doesn't...only 1 nick | 23:59 |
