urzkhello03:01
urzki have a problem - i can't install modx cms - it says To use PHP 5.3.0+, you must set the date.timezone setting in your php.ini. I've set it in both /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini but still it gives the same error. is there any other php.ini to configure? does anyone know what the problem might be? (i've restarted the web server - apache)03:02

jaiammaHi All, I installed Ubuntu 10.10 along side Win 7 on my laptop using a live DVD but the DVD was somehow damaged. Thus the Ubuntu install is corrupted somehow. I would like to get rid of the opening menu and I would like to get rid of the Ubuntu partition. What is the best way to get rid of the opening menu? What is the best way to get rid of the Ubuntu partition? Thanks!11:40

hobgoblinjaiamma: you need to reinstall the win bootloader and then remove the ubuntu partition - do it the other way round and you'll have boot problems12:56
jaiammaThanks Hobgoblin. I don't have any Win 7 install media. Just a recovery "D" drive. Without install CDs, how do I reinstall the Win 7 bootloader?13:11
hobgoblinsorry jaiamma - I have no idea - last win I used properly was win2k13:13
jaiammaOK, thanks. I'll hop onto a Win 7 forum. Cheers.13:13
hobgoblinok :)13:13
hobgoblinjust make sure to do whatever you need to before you remove the partition or it will not be able to boot at all13:14
hobgoblinjaiamma: oh hang on a moment13:14
jaiammaI'm here.13:15
hobgoblinjaiamma: a memory surfaced - http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/13:17
hobgoblintry that - there's a post on the forums somewhere I was involved in - I can post that there as well13:18
hobgoblinif that doesn;t help then I can't :)13:18
jaiammaOh! That's it! I do have a Win 7 system repair disk. I presume the sys repair disc will let me overwrite the MBR?13:19
jaiammaI'll have to make sure to do it carefully. I'm guessing that messing up the MBR could be a disaster.13:20
hobgoblinyep13:20
jaiammaI'll have to research more. But this is a great start. Thanks.13:20
hobgoblinjaiamma: are you advait on the forum?13:20
jaiammaYes, I am Advait on the Ubuntu forums. It seems that repairing a MBR is not a simple process.13:21
harrisonkjaiamma: when the MBR gets messed up the computer doesn't boot13:21
hobgoblinaah - k - well I just posted there as well13:21
jaiammaBut I'm happy to research how to do it properly13:21
hobgoblinjaiamma: I'm forestpiskie on the forum :)13:22
jaiammaYes. Thanks for your replies. I'll do more research re the sys repair discs to see if those will fix the prob.13:22
hobgoblinI think that they will allow you to run the fixboot stuff needed13:23
hobgoblinbut I reiterate that windows was a long time ago for me :)13:23
jaiammaGreat. I'll do some hunting around to get all the details before I exe any commands. Thanks!13:24
hobgoblinweclome13:24

hobgoblinanother one on the webchat thingy - wonder if my sig link actually works then13:25
UndiFineDwhat sig ?13:31

UndiFineDoh, i use xhat13:33

hobgoblinso do I - but a lot of people turning up on the forum new have no idea what irc is :)13:34
hobgoblinand I post a lot on the forum13:34

UndiFineDyeah, for new people, webchat is a good introduction13:35
cprofittI started using irssi13:36
cprofittbut I still have to setup my home server to make full use of it13:36
UndiFineDcprofitt, I started with BitchX13:36
cprofittheard good things about that... but never used it myself13:36
UndiFineDwell they are pro/cons for each13:37
hobgoblinUndiFineD: it certainly is if the need for irc is infrequent13:37

eks20Hello17:46
eks20I installed ubuntu netbook via wubi & want to upgrade / update to 10.10 how do I do that for Ubuntu Netbook Edition that I installed via wubi?17:46
hobgoblineks20: I'm not sure I would want to do that - there were some bugs in the wubi upgrade - some of which do not appear to have a fix released yet.  To be honest wubi was only ever intended as a see how it works type thing anyway.17:51
eks20but if I were to upgrade how would I do it?17:52
eks20never mind how would I do it17:55
eks20 how do I stop it from telling to upgrade to 10.1017:55
eks20?17:55
UndiFineDupgrading to another release is done manually by upgrade-manager -d17:55
UndiFineDso when you have 10.04.1 it will stay on that release unless you explicitly allow an upgrade to 10.1017:56
hobgoblinyou can upgrade17:56
hobgoblinwhoops17:57
UndiFineDbut I must say 10.10 is very good too17:57
hobgoblinyou can upgrade in the normal fashion - but some have had issues - http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade17:58

MancSelectaHI :) can i make an Ubuntu startup application wait until there is network connection before it starts?22:14
bioterrorhmmm22:15
MancSelectait's just a "wakeonlan" command if that helps22:16
bioterroractually a good question22:17
MancSelectaoh, good, glad i'm not being daft22:17
zkriessethere are no daft questions...just ill informed ones22:19
MancSelectatoo true, i just hoped this wasn't an ill-informed question22:20
MancSelectaMaybe there;s a way to write a shell script to test the network status (in a loop or something)22:23
MancSelecta?22:23
bioterrorI should configure my cisco switch22:24
bioterrortakes so long to get green led from amber :D22:24

bioterrorwhat did you put there?23:05
bioterror cat /etc/network/interfaces23:05
bioterrorauto lo23:05
bioterroriface lo inet loopback23:05
stlsaintbella-t: what modifications did you make to file23:05
bioterror 23:05
bioterrorthat's what I've got in there23:05
bella-ti've changed it because i was trying to make my wifi connection fonctionnig23:06
bella-ti've deleted some lines23:07
stlsaintbella-t: did you make a backup of the file first?23:07
bella-ti don't know how to make it23:07
bella-ti've installed ubuntu recently23:07
bella-tthe content of the file is :23:08
bella-tauto lo23:08
bella-tiface lo inet loopback23:08
bella-tauto eth223:08
bella-tiface eth2 inet dhcp23:08
stlsaintbella-t: you have two network cards?23:11
bella-tno just one23:11
stlsaintplease comment out the last two lines of that file:23:11
stlsaint#auto eth223:12
stlsaint#iface eth2 inet dhcp23:12
stlsaintthen try vbox functionality again23:12
bella-tok23:12
bella-twithout rebooting ?23:12
stlsaintyea you should be good by restarting just networking23:13
stlsaint/etc/init.d/networking restart23:13
stlsaintsudo /etc/init.d/networking restart23:13
bella-tok23:13
stlsaintbella-t: that will probably disconnect you then you must readd to network23:13
bella-tok i'll try this solution23:14
bella-tthe problem persist23:16
bella-tVERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND23:16

stlsaintbella-t: hey you are having a interface issue23:19
stlsaintbella-t: do you get that error when you try and start the vm?23:19
bella-tyes23:19
bella-twhen i start the VM23:19
stlsaintbella-t: what interface are you using for the vm?23:20
bella-ti've modified eth2 in /etc/network/interfaces then the problem appair23:21
bella-tso i think it is eth223:21
stlsaintwhat interface are you using right now?23:21
bella-teth023:22
stlsaintdid the vm work prior to you editing the interfaces file?23:22
bella-tit was working23:23
stlsainti believe your vm is trying to use the wrong interface23:23
stlsaintare you able to edit the network settings of the vm23:24
bella-tmode acces reseau: acces par pont23:25
bella-tnom: eth023:25
stlsaintalright i ask that you do a quick reboot to make sure that your system is using the correct interface, BUT if your networking has issues when you reboot on main system then just uncomment out the lines in the interface file23:29
stlsaintafter you reboot please come back here and we will set the interface on that vm to ensure its correct23:29
bella-tok23:30
