| _schism_ | good evening all | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| _schism_ | is there anyone on that can spare a few minutes to help with a java issue? | 00:21 |
| zkriesse | i can try | 00:21 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: I'll warn you, we don't yet remotely fix coffee machines. 11.10 I think maybe. If it's the other java maybe. | 00:32 |
| zkriesse | lol | 00:33 |
| zkriesse | starcraftman: ever the joker | 00:34 |
| starcraftman | zkriesse: never, the joker's a maniac with a scary laugh. I think mines more of an evil mad scientist one, maybe comical like the brain (a la pinky). | 00:36 |
| zkriesse | lolz | 00:36 |
| starcraftman | uh _schism_? You can ask your question, I'm just being late night amusing. We do most kinda questions and I know java too. :) | 00:39 |
| _schism_ | starcraftman, lol sorry about the late reply. my 2 year old decided to swan dive down the stairs | 00:41 |
| starcraftman | ah ha | 00:41 |
| zkriesse | oh crap | 00:41 |
| starcraftman | and ya, owie ,hope ok. | 00:42 |
| * starcraftman learned from friends doesn't need kids. | 00:42 | |
| _schism_ | anyway I have the .18 java on my system and of course I need the .22 to play minecraft and I have googled and downloaded and installed to no avail. can someone point me to where I need to be? | 00:42 |
| _schism_ | starcraftman, yeah she is tough | 00:42 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: what version ubuntu ya running? | 00:43 |
| starcraftman | latest package should be past 18 I think. | 00:43 |
| _schism_ | 10.04 ubdated to it on 10-10 :) I am fairly new to nix so wanna stay with a lts. | 00:44 |
| starcraftman | hmmm, 10.10 java6 package is .22 | 00:44 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: open terminal and type in: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-sdk | 00:45 |
| _schism_ | I dunno and I have even downloaded it from the java site and tried to install it and no love | 00:45 |
| starcraftman | that should be all you need. | 00:45 |
| _schism_ | starcraftman, yeah I did the apt thing as well :( | 00:45 |
| _schism_ | schism@schismlaptop:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-sdk | 00:46 |
| _schism_ | [sudo] password for schism: | 00:46 |
| _schism_ | Reading package lists... Done | 00:46 |
| _schism_ | Building dependency tree | 00:46 |
| _schism_ | Reading state information... Done | 00:46 |
| _schism_ | sun-java6-plugin is already the newest version. | 00:46 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: do you have those packages installed? There are several versions of jav. | 00:46 |
| _schism_ | sun-java6-jre is already the newest version. | 00:46 |
| _schism_ | E: Couldn't find package sun-java6-sdk | 00:46 |
| starcraftman | hmmm | 00:46 |
| _schism_ | schism@schismlaptop:~$ java -version | 00:47 |
| _schism_ | java version "1.6.0_22" | 00:47 |
| _schism_ | Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04) | 00:47 |
| _schism_ | Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode) | 00:47 |
| _schism_ | now its showing .22 wtf and minecraft and java.com says I am on .18 | 00:47 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: you are using the correct version though. | 00:48 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: I don't know the means the site checks, java -version doesn't usually lie. | 00:48 |
| _schism_ | hmmmmm | 00:48 |
| _schism_ | I cant win | 00:48 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: minecraft still doesn't work? | 00:49 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: try > sudo update-alternatives --config java | 00:49 |
| starcraftman | Select the number of the version with sun java6 in the line. | 00:50 |
| _schism_ | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5008250/java-version.png | 00:51 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: use this site for future times you want to return outputs of terminal btw, prevents channel flooding (new lines are paresed as enter). | 00:52 |
| _schism_ | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5008250/java-cli-version.png | 00:53 |
| _schism_ | that is the cli output. which one is it? | 00:53 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: The cli indicates your using the right jre, but the plugin for firefox maybe cofnused? | 00:54 |
| _schism_ | didnt think of that. but then again chrome does the same thing. hmmmmm | 00:55 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: return in pastebin the output of this > aptitude search openjdk | 00:55 |
| _schism_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/522981/ | 00:56 |
| _schism_ | and you are so much better than google btw starcraftman | 00:58 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: I shall take that as a compliment. | 00:59 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: maybe one day google will hire me and I can make em better! :p | 00:59 |
| _schism_ | lol it was a compliment | 00:59 |
| starcraftman | hmmm, quite strange huh, if you do aptitude search java6-plugin, it listed as installed? | 01:03 |
| _schism_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/522984/ | 01:07 |
| _schism_ | looking at the fire fox add ons I see java console extension 1.6.0_0.2 maybe that will help? | 01:09 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: naw, under addons page, go to plugins tab, you should see IcedTea plugin. | 01:11 |
| starcraftman | mine says 6b20, what's yours? | 01:12 |
| _schism_ | 6b18 and a bunch more | 01:13 |
| starcraftman | hmmmm, interesting. | 01:13 |
| _schism_ | want a screen of it for all the numbers? | 01:14 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: naw, aptitude show icedtea6-plugin | 01:15 |
| starcraftman | that say 20 or 18? | 01:15 |
| starcraftman | show icedtea6-plugin | grep 'Version:' < cleaner. | 01:16 |
| _schism_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/522990/ | 01:17 |
| _schism_ | ooopsss | 01:17 |
| starcraftman | well that seems to be the issue, weird, my meerkat repos have 20. | 01:18 |
| _schism_ | cant grep it for some reason. | 01:18 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: I forgot aptitude on the front, hehe. | 01:18 |
| starcraftman | it does say 18 though | 01:18 |
| _schism_ | yeah I did aptitude | 01:19 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: pastebin me your sources file pls, from /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:20 |
| _schism_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/522995/ | 01:22 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: didn't you say you upgraded to meerkat? | 01:23 |
| starcraftman | your main repos point to lucid. | 01:24 |
| _schism_ | no 10.04 not 10.10 | 01:24 |
| starcraftman | oh | 01:24 |
| Cheri703 | _schism_: can you completely uninstall java and then reinstall it? | 01:26 |
| Cheri703 | vs trying to upgrade? | 01:26 |
| Cheri703 | remove ALL java related things, then reinstall...perhaps? | 01:26 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: can you try reinstalling plugin maybe? Shut down firefox and then: sudo apt-get purge icedtea6-plugin && sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin | 01:27 |
| starcraftman | Cheri703: don't think that's quite required, locally he's pointing correctly, see config response above. | 01:27 |
| _schism_ | sure didnt think of that and didnt see it online | 01:27 |
| starcraftman | Just seems to be plugin. | 01:27 |
| Cheri703 | kk | 01:27 |
| Cheri703 | then do it with plugin :) | 01:27 |
| _schism_ | and a question I normaly use aptitude is it interchangeable with apt? | 01:28 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: can always try the whole plugin after, there are several versions though, if you intend on a clean purge be sure to remove all the openjdk, sun-java6 and icedtea packages. | 01:28 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: not entirely, but for install/remove it does same, searching and afew other things are different. | 01:28 |
| _schism_ | ok did the apt things time to reload firefox and see what happens | 01:29 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: I'll quote ya on "apt things" next time I hold a session :) | 01:30 |
| _schism_ | lol | 01:30 |
| _schism_ | and nope still showing 18 | 01:30 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: hmmm, guess nuclear it is. Can you revert anything you did to install manually jre from sun and then uninstall all openjdk, sun-java6 and icedtea packages. | 01:32 |
| _schism_ | <sigh> maybe I will have to reinstall windows...... | 01:33 |
| _schism_ | not! | 01:33 |
| starcraftman | Then only reinstall sun-java6-plugin and sun-java6-jre | 01:33 |
| _schism_ | ummm if I knew how I would | 01:33 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: right right, one sec, lemme right that for ya.... | 01:34 |
| _schism_ | is it just open synaptic and remove everything java? | 01:34 |
| _schism_ | lol I love being clueless | 01:34 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: that should work too. | 01:34 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: and your not clueless, you found IRC :) | 01:35 |
| _schism_ | lol dude I used irc when gopher was king. I am clueless and old :) | 01:35 |
| _schism_ | oh wow the java search brings up all kinds of pages. what should I use to narrow it down? | 01:37 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: Run this command : sudo aptitude purge openjdk-6-* sun-java6-* ia32-sun-java6-bin icedtea*sudo aptitude purge openjdk-6-* sun-java6-* ia32-sun-java6-bin icedtea* && sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 01:37 |
| starcraftman | That should eliminate all java packages and reinstall just the official build. | 01:38 |
| _schism_ | okie dokie | 01:38 |
| _schism_ | sudo aptitude purge openjdk-6-* sun-java6-* ia32-sun-java6-bin icedtea*sudo aptitude purge openjdk-6-* sun-java6-* ia32-sun-java6-bin icedtea* && sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 01:38 |
| _schism_ | doh focus | 01:38 |
| starcraftman | if there's a warning tell me. Don't proceed if it removes any core gnome files, or else pastebin related. Some packages are tied. | 01:38 |
| _schism_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/522998/ looks like errors but I am not sure | 01:39 |
| starcraftman | crap, aptitude doesn't support wildcard * ? :/ | 01:40 |
| Cheri703 | try apt? | 01:40 |
| _schism_ | do the same with apt-get maybe? | 01:41 |
| starcraftman | aye, pretty basic feature to be lacking. | 01:41 |
| starcraftman | just swap aptitude for apt-get. | 01:41 |
| _schism_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/523000/ | 01:41 |
| _schism_ | :( | 01:41 |
| _schism_ | guess I will have to give up <sniff><sniff> | 01:42 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: naw, remove after the && regex got confused. | 01:43 |
| starcraftman | so run: sudo aptitude purge openjdk-6-* sun-java6-* ia32-sun-java6-bin icedtea*sudo apt-get purge openjdk-6-* sun-java6-* ia32-sun-java6-bin icedtea* | 01:43 |
| _schism_ | then do it again with install instead of purge? | 01:43 |
| starcraftman | then: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin ia32-sun-java6-bin | 01:43 |
| starcraftman | those are the only needed packages far as I know. | 01:44 |
| _schism_ | gah doing it again | 01:44 |
| _schism_ | faiked | 01:44 |
| _schism_ | failed even | 01:44 |
| _schism_ | apt-get remove instead of purge maybe? | 01:45 |
| * starcraftman must be getting tired. | 01:45 | |
| starcraftman | guess so. | 01:46 |
| * starcraftman now thoroughly wants to whack java. | 01:46 | |
| _schism_ | gah no dice :( | 01:46 |
| _schism_ | guess I will just deal with synauptic | 01:46 |
| starcraftman | well I gotta go anyhow, lil late, Cheri703 maybe ya can continue? Or someone else. | 01:47 |
| Cheri703 | I will do what I can... | 01:47 |
| Cheri703 | I'm not super familiar with it | 01:47 |
| _schism_ | its not that big of a deal if no one can | 01:47 |
| starcraftman | _schism_: I guess, select the the packages that match the regex of the apt-line for removal then reinstall latter, all the java6 ones except db/fonts. | 01:48 |
| frankcox777 | hello all- | 01:18 |
| frankcox777 | is there such an animal as an ext4 filereader for windows? | 01:19 |
| zkriesse_ | Probably not | 01:20 |
| frankcox777 | figures seeing I choose to mount xubuntu on ext4 | 01:20 |
| frankcox777 | I wish I could I could drom winders altogether but aome people have yet to see the light | 01:21 |
| frankcox777 | so far 10.10 has worked perfectly, gave me a hard time partitioning at first but it runs well now | 01:23 |
| frankcox777 | I suppose I could use fat32 for documents | 01:24 |
| Cheri703 | frankcox777: desktop or laptop? | 01:27 |
| frankcox777 | desktop | 01:32 |
| Cheri703 | ah, ok | 01:32 |
| Cheri703 | easiest way to deal with the different file extensions: pick up an inexpensive hdd, make it ntfs or fat32 and add it to the comp | 01:32 |
| frankcox777 | I just tried to play music and video-spoke to soon, neither worked | 01:33 |
| Cheri703 | I have one hdd for OS and one hdd for storage | 01:33 |
| frankcox777 | That is what I will do-I have 2 drives,probably make one all fat32 | 01:33 |
| Cheri703 | it's just WAY easier | 01:34 |
| Cheri703 | and then you can take your documents and pop them into another comp in case of tragedy :) | 01:34 |
| frankcox777 | It seems that or reinstall to ext3 | 01:34 |
| frankcox777 | too much trouble | 01:34 |
| Cheri703 | yeah | 01:34 |
| frankcox777 | irritating they did not put the gstreamer plugins into xubuntu-sound was one reason I finally decided to let 9:10 go | 01:35 |
| Cheri703 | :/ | 01:35 |
| zkriesse_ | Xubuntu is too damn slow | 01:36 |
| frankcox777 | what are you using? | 01:37 |
| zkriesse_ | Me? | 01:39 |
| frankcox777 | y | 01:39 |
| zkriesse_ | Windows right now...gaming and because of school(college) | 01:39 |
| frankcox777 | why are you at ubuntu forum? If gaming is a big deal to you Linux is not what you need | 01:41 |
| frankcox777 | My install is faster than windows was on the same machine | 01:41 |
| zkriesse_ | Oh I know | 01:43 |
| zkriesse_ | I go between the two | 01:44 |
| frankcox777 | oh | 01:44 |
| zkriesse_ | Gaming isn't huge | 01:44 |
| zkriesse_ | Mainly due to school | 01:44 |
| frankcox777 | what do have to have windows for at school? | 01:44 |
| zkriesse_ | Certain programs I have to use require ms | 01:45 |
| zkriesse_ | College dude | 01:45 |
| zkriesse_ | Gtg | 01:45 |
| frankcox777 | guess he never heard of SoftMaker | 01:45 |
| frankcox777 | anyone get the sound working in xubuntu 10.10? I thought they would have added oss | 01:57 |
| frankcox777 | anyone got the sound working in xubuntu 10.10? | 02:14 |

| friTTe| | sorry bvut that was before my Ubu time | 10:31 |
| hobgoblin | update it to what? | 10:31 |
| bioterror | jezz_, update your ubuntu | 10:31 |

| jezz_ | yes sure, tryign to update xorg to 1.6 | 10:32 |
| bioterror | what? | 10:32 |
| bioterror | 8.10 came with Xorg 7.4 | 10:33 |
| Daniel0108 | hi | 10:34 |
| jezz_ | sorry, xserver reports version 1.5.2 and want to find out how to upgrade to 1.6 | 10:34 |
| bioterror | I think you mean package xserver-common | 10:36 |
| jezz_ | ok, I see there are differences in the versions for xvideo, xinput, and extension | 10:36 |
| jezz_ | is there a document that has steps on how to do this? | 10:37 |
| bioterror | I still think you should upgrade your whole ubuntu from 8.10 to something newer like 10.04 | 10:38 |
| jezz_ | yep i have 10.10 on my main computer | 10:38 |
| bioterror | is there a reason why you're still using 8.10? | 10:38 |

| ubot2 | Factoid 'OpenGL' not found | 15:34 |
| jerk | dammm | 15:34 |
| aveilleux | jerk, ubot2 isn't a good substitute for just asking a question. | 15:34 |
| jerk | thought OpenGL was like directx for windows | 15:34 |
| aveilleux | jerk, No. It's a different 3D system. | 15:34 |
| jerk | okay....what exactky is it? | 15:34 |
| aveilleux | jerk: I... suppose you can think of it as DirectX, but it goes about the rendering process in a completely different manner, | 15:35 |
| aveilleux | jerk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL | 15:35 |
| hobgoblin | jerk: did you go and look at the appdb? | 15:35 |
| jerk | does that affeect gameplay? | 15:35 |
| jerk | was trying to do that, hobgoblin | 15:35 |
| jerk | and it's nice to see you again | 15:36 |
| aveilleux | jerk: Yes, translation from DirectX to OpenGL always affects performance. | 15:36 |
| jerk | :p | 15:36 |
| hobgoblin | jerk: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1369 check the did it run bit | 15:36 |
| aveilleux | jerk: Most games support OpenGL mode, in my experience. | 15:36 |
| hobgoblin | jerk have you seen me before then? I'm old - I forget things lol | 15:36 |
| jerk | hobgoblin: yep, you recommended not using wubi to install ubuntu :p | 15:38 |
| hobgoblin | aah - sounds like something I would say :) | 15:38 |
| aveilleux | jerk: Most older games (before 2006) will run just fine on WINE. Starcraft II is a notable exception, since it runs fine under WINE without modification. | 15:38 |
| jerk | aveilleux: is it something I need to install or is it preinstalled? [using 10.04] | 15:39 |
| hobgoblin | vice city appears to be oen which works fine so long as you deal with the second cd or it hangs | 15:39 |
| hobgoblin | jerk: wine is not a default install | 15:39 |
| jerk | hobgoblin: I wrecked my ROM over a bad dvd of ubuntu....so had to use a pendrive | 15:39 |
| aveilleux | jerk, WINE is a separate package that you need to install. | 15:39 |
| jerk | no no, I meant OpenGL | 15:40 |
| aveilleux | jerk: You can't wreck ROM *eyebrowraise* | 15:40 |
| jerk | I've got wine all right | 15:40 |
| aveilleux | jerk: It comes preinstalled. | 15:40 |
| aveilleux | jerk: Most modern OSs (except that one from Redmond, of course) ship with it. | 15:40 |
| jerk | aveilleux: looks like I am pioneer then :p | 15:40 |
| aveilleux | jerk: ...ROM can't be modified... Read-Only Memory | 15:41 |
| jerk | I'm gonna give it another try, after reading the page hobgoblin gave | 15:41 |
| jerk | aveilleux: errr....I use computer lingo pretty shoddily....guess I meant my DVD drive | 15:42 |
| aveilleux | jerk: That makes more sense. | 15:42 |
| jerk | eh hehehehe | 15:43 |
| jerk | okay, I'll BRB....doing some testing | 15:44 |
| jerk | will post my results on testing Vice City | 15:44 |
| aveilleux | I feel weird talking to someone named "jerk". I always feel like I'm yelling at them. | 15:45 |
| hobgoblin | lol | 15:46 |
| hobgoblin | could be worse - but then I guess we would have to kick them for inappropriate nick's :) | 15:47 |
| cprofitt | no kikcing | 15:49 |
| cprofitt | but perhaps a PM to ask about their nick... | 15:49 |
| cprofitt | it could be their initials | 15:49 |
| hobgoblin | cprofitt: not talking about jerk - but it COULD be worse ... | 15:50 |
| hobgoblin | and it could also be a foody - jerk chicken | 15:50 |
| cprofitt | hobgoblin: I understand, but unless you feel very strongly there is malicous intent it would always be best to PM them | 15:50 |
| cprofitt | and discuss the issue | 15:51 |
| cprofitt | I know you know that elfy | 15:51 |
| hobgoblin | cprofitt: you misunderstand - if the nick was that bad a PM would likely make no difference at all :) | 15:52 |
| cprofitt | hobgoblin: I do understand -- there are many possible reasons for bad nicks and with culture and language issues a PM is still the best option | 15:52 |
| cprofitt | even if it makes no difference in 99% of the cases - for the 1% it does I think it is worth the extra few seconds to few minutes | 15:53 |
| hobgoblin | wb jezz_ | 16:06 |
| hobgoblin | whoops | 16:06 |
| hobgoblin | wb jerk :) | 16:06 |
| phillw | hobgoblin: can you recall what the part of synaptic package manager is that does the 'quick search' part, as we do not use it by default on lubuntu. | 16:13 |
| phillw | I did see it on the forum, but it was quite a while back and I've slept since then and lost a few more brain cells :D | 16:13 |
| jerk | aww | 16:14 |
| jerk | thanks hobgoblin | 16:14 |
| hobgoblin | phillw: I am not at all sure | 16:14 |
| bioterror | phillw, apt-cache search ;) | 16:14 |
| jerk | bad experiences with sound drivers man | 16:15 |
| jerk | I've got gigabyte AM chipset and can't get linux drivers for it | 16:15 |
| jerk | sound drivers I mean | 16:15 |
| cprofitt | jerk: do you know what model of sound card? | 16:18 |
| ggeorgy | i try to conect a cellphone [usb] but not work any ideas? | 16:29 |
| ggeorgy | please | 16:30 |
| AbhiJit | ggeorgy, try using wammu/gammu | 16:30 |
| Cheri703 | what kind of phone ggeorgy | 16:31 |
| Cheri703 | ? | 16:31 |
| jerk | cprofitt: it's a built in card | 16:31 |
| jerk | in the chipset | 16:31 |
| ggeorgy | LG | 16:31 |
| Cheri703 | is it just a general lg phone or android or? | 16:32 |
| cprofitt | jerk: do you know how to do an lspci to get the details on the card | 16:32 |
| ggeorgy | a simple lg phone | 16:32 |
| cprofitt | different mother board manufacturers can change the audio solution used | 16:32 |
| bioterror | I bet you canc hoose from the phone do you want to use pc suite or mass storage mode | 16:32 |
| Cheri703 | ok, one thing I ran into in the past was to restart the comp with the phone connected and it's more likely to recognize it...but I dunno about your specific phone | 16:33 |
| ggeorgy | i try the comand lsusb | 16:34 |
| ggeorgy | in the terminal | 16:34 |
| ggeorgy | and | 16:34 |

| ggeorgy | i try to restart computer now and will be back | 16:35 |
| * hobgoblin thinks it is seen as a storage device | 16:36 | |
| hobgoblin | depends what they want it for I suspect | 16:37 |
| ggeorgy | i restarted the computer but not work | 16:38 |
| ggeorgy | any ideas??? | 16:39 |
| ggeorgy | please | 16:39 |
| hobgoblin | ggeorgy: what is it you are actually trying to do with it? might make a difference here | 16:40 |
| ggeorgy | i want to copy some from phone to comp. | 16:41 |
| hobgoblin | ggeorgy: and what model is it ? | 16:41 |
| ggeorgy | from the phone's memory card | 16:41 |
| ggeorgy | i dont know | 16:42 |
| nlsthzn | If I have created a PGP key, uploaded it to the key server... then re-installed Ubuntu is it possible to import the key again from the key server or is there another why? | 16:42 |
| ggeorgy | i think it recognize the phone Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1004:6000 LG Electronics, Inc. VX4400/VX6000 Cellphone but how mount it | 16:43 |
| ggeorgy | is a lg u300c | 16:44 |
| ggeorgy | now can help me??? | 16:44 |
| bioterror | ggeorgy, when you plug the usb cable, does it ask wheter to use storage mode or pc suite mode? | 16:45 |
| ggeorgy | the phone menu appear-conectivity-dial up network -usb activate | 16:46 |
| nhandler | nlsthzn: You upload your public key to the key server, not your private key. If you didn't back up your private key and don't have a revocation certificate, there isn't much you can do other than creating a new key | 16:47 |
| ggeorgy | the phone had not a pc suite mode | 16:49 |
| nlsthzn | nhandler: Thank you so much... this is what I could gather from what I have read... that really sucks, I have (in my ignorance) created and now made useless about two or three keys this way with re-installations... does a clean up ever occur (there must be many unused and useless keys by now) | 16:49 |
| nhandler | ggeorgy: Maybe try doing it over bluetooth | 16:50 |
| nhandler | nlsthzn: I don't think so. Basically, when you create your new key, generate a revocation certificate and then backup the certificate and your private key somewhere safe | 16:50 |
| nlsthzn | nhandler: Will do, thanks! | 16:51 |
| ggeorgy | what? | 16:51 |
| nhandler | /34/34 | 16:51 |
| ggeorgy | over bluetooth? | 16:51 |
| nhandler | ggeorgy: If your computer supports bluetooth (or if you have a bluetooth adapter), you can connect your phone to your computer to send/receive files | 16:52 |
| ggeorgy | i know but i haven't a blue.adapter | 16:52 |
| ggeorgy | i want conect from usb | 16:53 |
| ggeorgy | need any driver?? | 16:55 |
| ggeorgy | ???????????????? :( | 16:56 |
| ggeorgy | you sayd about any program who?? | 16:58 |
| ggeorgy | what programs needs?? | 16:59 |
| nhandler | ggeorgy: I can't help you much with USB. Your phone might not allow it and I had several problems doing that. If you do decide to purchase a bluetooth adapter, the default bluetooth app (in the top panel by default) will allow you to interact with your phone | 17:02 |
| Cheri703 | nhandler: not all phones support bluetooth file transfer | 17:02 |
| Cheri703 | ggeorgy: if the info you're wanting is on the sd card, then perhaps a card reader would be the easiest answer? you can usually get them for under $10 | 17:02 |
| nhandler | Cheri703: True, but for those that do, it is much easier than messing with USB | 17:03 |
| ggeorgy | but it recognize phone | 17:04 |
| ggeorgy | i try gmobilemedia | 17:06 |
| Cheri703 | ggeorgy: what model is the phone? | 17:06 |
| Cheri703 | specifically | 17:06 |
| AbhiJit | i suggested you to try gammu ggeorgy | 17:07 |
| ggeorgy | ok | 17:07 |
| ggeorgy | not work | 17:10 |
| ggeorgy | gammu is gmobilemedia | 17:11 |
| ggeorgy | the phone not appera in system-admin-disk utility | 17:13 |
| Cheri703 | ggeorgy: I will ask again: what is the specific phone model? | 17:15 |
| ggeorgy | lg u300c | 17:16 |
| cprofitt | jerk: do you know how to get the model using lspci? | 17:16 |
| cprofitt | ggeorgy: does it support bluetooth? | 17:17 |
| ggeorgy | yes | 17:17 |
| cprofitt | are you trying to transfer files? | 17:17 |
| ggeorgy | no | 17:18 |
| ggeorgy | yes from usb | 17:18 |
| cprofitt | well usb will depend on how the storage is presented | 17:19 |
| cprofitt | so bluetooth might work even though usb does not | 17:19 |
| ggeorgy | but i want usb | 17:20 |
| ggeorgy | i havent blue adapter | 17:20 |
| Cheri703 | is it the "lg shine"? | 17:20 |
| Cheri703 | when you plug in the USB, what does it say on the phone? | 17:20 |
| ggeorgy | the phone say nothing | 17:21 |
| ggeorgy | i found USBPROG on software center can this help me?? | 17:22 |
| Cheri703 | ggeorgy: does it have an SD card? | 17:22 |
| ggeorgy | yes | 17:22 |
| Cheri703 | also, out of curiosity, what is your native language? | 17:22 |
| ggeorgy | english | 17:22 |
| Cheri703 | ok, can you get an inexpensive sd card reader? they can be found easily at most stores | 17:23 |
| Cheri703 | ok | 17:23 |
| Cheri703 | that is likely the easiest/most reliable way to do this | 17:24 |
| Cheri703 | this is the phone? http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_u300-1628.php | 17:24 |
| ggeorgy | i have a card adapter but my comp has not a port for memory card adapter | 17:24 |
| ggeorgy | yes | 17:24 |
| Cheri703 | ok, frankly, it's VERY VERY unlikely that a phone from 2006 is going to connect this way | 17:25 |
| Cheri703 | phones back then needed very specific drivers and programs | 17:25 |
| Cheri703 | you need something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-MobileMate-Plus-Memory-Reader/dp/B000Q3IUV2 | 17:26 |
| Cheri703 | there are cheaper ones | 17:26 |
| ggeorgy | exist fot ubuntu? | 17:26 |
| Cheri703 | yes, it turns the sd card into a flash drive basically | 17:26 |
| Cheri703 | are you in the US? | 17:27 |
| nlsthzn | Cheri703: :) A phone from 2006 isn't that old, is it? | 17:27 |
| ggeorgy | yes but... | 17:27 |
| Cheri703 | technology wise, yes :) as far as being able to connect to the computer, (from what I know) they didn't have the universal storage options like now | 17:27 |
| Cheri703 | did you see that link nlsthzn? | 17:27 |
| Cheri703 | it's an OLD style phone, probably one of the "free with contract" types | 17:27 |
| ggeorgy | ok thanks for help!! good night!!! | 17:32 |
| nlsthzn | Cheri703: Sorry, no... stuck at work so a bit to busy to get into to much online currently (thats why I stayed out of this round :D) | 17:33 |
| Cheri703 | understandable :) it's an old style flip phone | 17:33 |

| * seidos waves @ marmalade1 | 20:45 | |
| marmalade1 | hello to you seidos | 20:47 |
| seidos | marmalade1, feeling well? | 20:48 |
| marmalade1 | Yes very good thanks and yourself? | 20:48 |
| marmalade1 | I can only get this working with pidgin but not with empathy for some reason | 20:50 |
| seidos | marmalade1, i was able to get irc working with empathy, but that was only for a little while | 20:51 |
| seidos | marmalade1, i am feeling alright | 20:51 |
| marmalade1 | I find it does the job so maybe I wont fiddle to much or I could make it worse. | 20:52 |
| marmalade1 | I have question have you heard of log me in a windows app? | 20:53 |
| nhandler | Neither empathy or pidgin are good choices for irc clients | 20:56 |
| marmalade1 | Hi handler what do you recommend? | 20:58 |
| marmalade1 | sorry nhandler | 20:59 |
| nhandler | marmalade1: irssi+screen. Or if you want a GUI client, xchat isn't too bad. Even webchat.freenode.net is better than those clients | 20:59 |
| nlsthzn | +1 for IRC... I lasted all of 5 minutes using Empathy :) | 21:02 |
| marmalade1 | Thank you for your help. Sorry just realised what the time is I have to log off. | 21:02 |
| nlsthzn | I meant +1 for XChat (not IRC lol) | 21:04 |
| UndiFineD | nlsthzn, if you're truly 1337 use telnet | 21:17 |
| UndiFineD | there actually was a session at UDS regarding empathy IRC and what improvements could be made | 21:18 |
| UndiFineD | which I found somewhat disappointing as the referred to freenodes webchat all the time | 21:19 |
| nlsthzn | UndiFineD: I am currently using freenode webchat (at work, behind firewalls etc.) and it sucks, no spell checking QQ | 21:36 |

| brennydoogles | Pretty Ok nlsthzn ! | 23:35 |
| brennydoogles | Just trying to fix my grub2 | 23:36 |
| brennydoogles | lol | 23:36 |
| brennydoogles | It lost Windows 7 | 23:36 |
| nlsthzn | brennydoogles: I think it might be on purpose ;) | 23:36 |
| brennydoogles | lol | 23:36 |
| brennydoogles | Probably | 23:36 |
| brennydoogles | Glad to have Linux back though | 23:37 |
| brennydoogles | I've had the new laptop for about 3 weeks, and just now had a chance to install | 23:37 |
| nlsthzn | sucks that you have to mess with GRUB :/ Revenge of the Linux | 23:43 |
| brennydoogles | yes... | 23:45 |
| brennydoogles | any advice? | 23:45 |
| Cheri703 | no idea if this will fix it, but try running update-grub ? I think that's the command... | 23:46 |
| nlsthzn | brennydoogles: Last time I had to mess with GRUB it was not GRUB2 which I have heard is a completely different beast all together... sorry | 23:47 |
| brennydoogles | It is indeed | 23:47 |
| brennydoogles | messing with grub legacy was a piece of cake | 23:48 |
| brennydoogles | well kids, I'm going to reboot to see how badly I've borked everything | 23:54 |
| brennydoogles | Wish me luck! | 23:54 |
