| bella-t | 3.1.6 | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| bella-t | this is the version | 00:02 |
| stlsaint | hrm, you are using an older version, the latest out is 3.2 | 00:02 |
| stlsaint | i suggest removing and installing the update version, you can save your vm's harddrives for use with the new install | 00:02 |
| bella-t | removing the Vm is obligatarry | 00:03 |
| bella-t | ? | 00:03 |
| bella-t | or optionnal | 00:04 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: you can just save the harddrive and recreate the vm itself and use the old vm's hard drive for the new vm | 00:04 |
| bella-t | and the data will be saved of course | 00:05 |
| bella-t | do you know the command to save the VM | 00:06 |
| bella-t | ? | 00:06 |
| bella-t | plz | 00:06 |
| stlsaint | yes, are you aware of how to save the vm drive? | 00:06 |
| stlsaint | oh hehe | 00:06 |
| stlsaint | you using cli or graphical? | 00:06 |
| bella-t | what is cli? | 00:07 |
| UndiFineD | command line interface | 00:07 |
| bella-t | some times i use CLI | 00:07 |
| bella-t | and about the saving of VM i've no idea about it | 00:08 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: open your home directory | 00:09 |
| bella-t | done | 00:09 |
| bella-t | then? | 00:10 |
| stlsaint | open your .vbox dir | 00:10 |
| stlsaint | .Virtualbox | 00:10 |
| bella-t | there is no such dir | 00:11 |
| stlsaint | have you viewed the hidden directorys | 00:11 |
| stlsaint | hit: Ctrl+h | 00:11 |
| bella-t | ok | 00:12 |
| bella-t | then | 00:12 |
| stlsaint | you should see a hard drives folder or machines folder | 00:13 |
| bella-t | yes | 00:13 |
| bella-t | hardDisks and Machine | 00:13 |
| stlsaint | hard drive folder? | 00:13 |
| stlsaint | in the hard disk folder you should see your vm disk | 00:14 |
| bella-t | windowsxp.vdi | 00:14 |
| stlsaint | yep thats the one...feel free to copy that somewhere maybe to your desktop | 00:14 |
| bella-t | ok | 00:15 |
| bella-t | thank you veryyy much | 00:16 |
| stlsaint | you will have to install vbox from the website | 00:16 |
| bella-t | then the problem will vanish ? | 00:17 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: if you really are overly-cautious you can even backup your machine out of the machines folder to your desktop | 00:17 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: yes the problem should be gone | 00:17 |
| bella-t | I'am coping all the di .Virtualbox | 00:17 |
| bella-t | to my DD | 00:18 |
| stlsaint | lol well that will do the trick also | 00:18 |
| bella-t | hhh | 00:18 |
| stlsaint | o_O | 00:18 |
| bella-t | ?? | 00:19 |
| stlsaint | you know how to install from website? | 00:19 |
| latenite | Hi folks, Is it possible to install ubunut on an external HDD, THEN take that hdd to "my gandfathers PC" and plug it in, SO his PC has Ubuntu? OR do I need his PC connected to the HDD while installing. He lifes in another city and I would like to send the "ready to go" HDD to him. So he does not have to do anything BUT plug it an and boot. ?? If so...how can I do that? | 00:20 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 00:20 |
| bella-t | thnk you | 00:20 |
| bella-t | every version has its specefic file to download | 00:21 |
| stlsaint | latenite: hey if you install ubuntu to a external harddrive than you will be able to plug in the ext to the "new" computer and ubuntu will boot if you boot to the external drive | 00:22 |
| stlsaint | latenite: i tried that before some time ago and i think the only issue i had was the graphics driver | 00:23 |
| latenite | stlsaint, how would I make sure all his hardware is supported? he s a printer and webcam...und stuff? How do I install it to my external HDD? All i did do far is mount it. | 00:23 |
| stlsaint | latenite: just point ubiquity to the external drive | 00:24 |
| stlsaint | latenite: hrm with all those extra drivers i would suggest you have the system sent to you and you install it (if thats possible) | 00:25 |
| latenite | stlsaint, ubiquity??? I run gentoo here and just pluged in HIS external HDD...what would be next? shall I donwload the iso? | 00:25 |
| stlsaint | well yea you will need the ubuntu iso | 00:25 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: everything going well? | 00:25 |
| latenite | stlsaint, no cant do taht...is s liek a suprise ... I want to send it to him and suprise him with his NEW linx | 00:26 |
| latenite | *linux | 00:26 |
| latenite | stlsaint, and what do I do with the iso? unpack it and dd it the drive? | 00:26 |
| bella-t | yes | 00:26 |
| bella-t | 'im installig virtualbox | 00:27 |
| bella-t | sorry | 00:27 |
| stlsaint | why dd? | 00:27 |
| bella-t | downoading vb | 00:27 |
| stlsaint | latenite: you will have to burn the iso to a cd and install it to the hard drive | 00:27 |
| bella-t | and copying the dir | 00:27 |
| latenite | stlsaint, so I would have to shoutr down my system...bozzt the cd and select the external HDD? is there a way doinf the install FROM WITHIN my running gentoo? | 00:29 |
| stlsaint | latenite: from what i know, no...that is not possible | 00:29 |
| stlsaint | collinp: ping | 00:30 |
| latenite | I know it can be done with debina and a chroot+debootstrap..is there anything like that? | 00:30 |
| collinp | Yo. | 00:30 |
| stlsaint | collinp: is it possible to install ubuntu to a external drive without booting into the livecd (only thing i can think of is something with wubi) | 00:31 |
| stlsaint | latenite: you want to chroot? | 00:31 |
| collinp | It's certainly possible, but fairly difficult to do. | 00:31 |
| stlsaint | collinp: i have never done nor seen it done so i have no idea of how to | 00:32 |
| stlsaint | latenite: a chroot wouldnt install to a drive (i dont think) | 00:32 |
| collinp | In essence, it's not feasible. | 00:32 |
| stlsaint | i didnt think so | 00:32 |
| latenite | collinp, that s ok? would you tell me how?...just the idea of it? In general I nstall gentoo like taht: make a chroot-> mounf hdd-> copy system tree-> install grub-> DONE | 00:32 |
| collinp | Gentoo and Debian are two different beasts. I have never really gotten deep into the installation process, but I think it's something along the lines of: The installer lays the foundation (kernel and apt), then goes and installs the packages that go into the system. | 00:34 |
| collinp | Or I could be completely wrong. I've never had to go and install Ubuntu to a system without shutting down and using the livecd. | 00:34 |
| collinp | I'm at least fairly sure that the CD does not ship binary files explicitly, but they are packaged in .deb files that have to be installed onto the base system. | 00:35 |
| stlsaint | nor have i ever installed without livecd | 00:35 |
| stlsaint | latenite: tbh in your case google would probably be your best bet | 00:35 |
| collinp | Let me go find one of my Ubuntu CDs. | 00:36 |
| latenite | collinp, well imagine a remote sever...You wouldn't have a chance to put a live CD into it...All you have is ssh into SOME sort of live system...you know? | 00:36 |
| collinp | You deploy remote systems differently than a normal desktop/laptop system. | 00:36 |
| collinp | Often with imaging, which is putting a image of an already installed system onto the hard drive. | 00:37 |
| latenite | collinp, well leaving the "image" idea aside...how would ubuntu be installed remotely? | 00:37 |
| bella-t | i'll reboot my system | 00:37 |
| collinp | Er. | 00:38 |
| collinp | Yeah. | 00:38 |
| collinp | You're not copying the CD to the hard drive, because everything is packaged in .deb files which the installer installs onto the base system. | 00:39 |
| collinp | And, to be honest, I don't know of another system used instead of the "image" system for remote deployment. | 00:39 |
| collinp | Most everything in a rapid-deployment environment is based around images or something very, very similar to it. | 00:39 |
| collinp | Err, remote-deployment | 00:40 |
| collinp | Basically, you would have to go and install each and every .deb file - manually - onto a base system on the hard drive. | 00:40 |
| collinp | If you were doing this from another operating system. | 00:41 |
| collinp | nhandler: Ping | 00:42 |
| latenite | collinp, hmm well. I realy "hate" the idea of having to boot the life cd....for the fact that I could ONLY do that by shutting down my box...thats "iiiaks" somehow | 00:42 |
| bella-t | stlsaint, there is a conflit with virtualbox-ose | 00:43 |
| bella-t | while executinng | 00:44 |
| bella-t | a backup of the hole system will solve the problem ? | 00:47 |
| nhandler | Yes collinp ? | 00:48 |
| collinp | nhandler: Imaging aside, do you know of another method of installing Ubuntu/Debian without booting into the LiveCD environment? | 00:48 |
| collinp | Er, more specifically, without rebooting from another operating system at all. | 00:48 |
| nhandler | collinp: Without rebooting? You could use wubi or a VM | 00:49 |
| collinp | I know very little about the subject. latenite was wanting to install Ubuntu without booting out of their Gentoo install. | 00:49 |
| nhandler | collinp: Well, if they want to do a proper installation, they will want to reboot. Partitioning a HD is rather unsafe if the disk is in-use | 00:50 |
| latenite | collinp, nhandler RIGHT::: I could boot the iso into a kvm vm...and whe done copy all the files to the external hdd? right? or am I off track here? | 00:50 |
| szczur | collinp, https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html but i think it is a bit outdated | 00:52 |
| nhandler | latenite: It might work, but I have a feeling it probably won't work well | 00:52 |
| latenite | nhandler, what could go wrong? any forsight ideas? | 00:52 |
| nhandler | latenite: I can't remember, but I thought Ubuntu did some checks for the type of hardware that is being used to try and make sure things work. All of those checks would get messed up | 00:53 |
| nhandler | latenite: So if you go with that approach, you should probably install something like the ubuntu minimum iso and then add the extra packages you need | 00:54 |
| latenite | nhandler, taht was my question in the first place..since i ONLY have the HDD....that will GO into a box that s not with me. | 00:54 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: did you remove the vbox you had on there? | 00:57 |
| bella-t | yes i've deleted it from the logitheque | 00:58 |
| bella-t | I've fogot a packet | 01:00 |
| bella-t | which is related to vm | 01:00 |
| bella-t | that's why the installation was blocked | 01:01 |
| bella-t | a backup is it able to resolve the problem ? | 01:02 |
| stlsaint | sudo apt-get -purge remove virtualbox-3.1 | 01:03 |
| stlsaint | unless you jsut removed it from synaptic | 01:03 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: a backup? | 01:03 |
| bella-t | yes | 01:03 |
| stlsaint | have you gotten the new vbox installed with no errors? | 01:03 |
| bella-t | i've installed the new VBox | 01:05 |
| bella-t | but there is an error | 01:05 |
| stlsaint | what error? | 01:05 |
| bella-t | driver not installed | 01:05 |
| bella-t | The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing | 01:05 |
| bella-t | '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' | 01:05 |
| bella-t | as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. | 01:05 |
| latenite | nhandler, ok another VERY differnet approach: I have a usp pendirve with a INSTALLED (no live iso) ubunut on it. I booted my laptop of it and connected the HDD. Now I miss the "install" button that on a regualr liveCD. Is that be found on my realy (non live) system too? | 01:06 |
| latenite | so in other words. How to install ubuntu FROM ubuntu? | 01:09 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: oh have you not installed dkms yet? | 01:15 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: sudo apt-get install dkms | 01:15 |
| stlsaint | its whats used to build kernel | 01:15 |
| bella-t | they aren't installed | 01:16 |
| bella-t | I've installed it | 01:17 |
| szczur | latenite, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux#Without%20CD | 01:18 |
| bella-t | and now should I reboot my system ? | 01:18 |
| szczur | this may be helpful to you | 01:18 |
| bella-t | because the error still there | 01:18 |
| latenite | szczur, nice thats just waht I want :) cool | 01:20 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: sure | 01:21 |
| bella-t | ok | 01:22 |

| bella-t | i've verified and there is any other packet installed but virrtualbox-3.2 | 01:32 |

| stlsaint | i dont think so | 02:17 |
| bella-t | ok | 02:19 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: did you ever comment out those lines i asked you to? | 02:19 |
| === PabloRubianes_ is now known as PabloRubianes | ||
| bella-t | i don't undrestand ! | 02:20 |
| bella-t | i've wrote the commends | 02:21 |
| bella-t | because may be i'll need them later | 02:22 |
| bella-t | is that what you're asking for ? | 02:22 |
| stlsaint | yes did you have # next to the last entries | 02:26 |
| bella-t | ya these commands were very helpful for me | 02:29 |
| bella-t | i think the key of this problem is to get back the old version of the /etc/network/interfaces | 02:31 |
| === jledbetter_ is now known as jledbetter | ||
| stlsaint | thats why we comment out the lines you entered yourself | 02:34 |
| bella-t | ok | 02:37 |
| bella-t | is it possible to have a backup of a file in such case | 02:37 |
| bella-t | i've commented the lines that i've added now | 02:38 |
| stlsaint | to make a copy of it simply use the cp command as so: | 02:38 |
| stlsaint | cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.bak (or .old) | 02:39 |
| bella-t | not a copy but i want to know if it is possible to get an older version of a saved file | 02:41 |
| stlsaint | not that im aware of...once you change and save it its pretty much a done deal | 02:41 |
| bella-t | ah ok | 02:42 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: hrm | 02:48 |
| stlsaint | im not sure why your having a interface issue | 02:48 |
| bella-t | why? | 02:48 |
| bella-t | i think that i've used the interface which was allocated to Vbox while modifying the file interfaces | 02:50 |
| bella-t | probably this is the cause no ? | 02:51 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: i would suggest posting a thread on the ubuntu forums in the virtualization section for a more global view on your issue | 02:51 |
| bella-t | ok I'll post the problem in the forums but I hope that i'll find the solution | 02:52 |
| stlsaint | i do too | 02:52 |
| stlsaint | you may be missing some kernel headers or something but i cant be sure | 02:53 |
| bella-t | yep maybe | 02:53 |
| bella-t | thank you so much for all the time you've passed with me trying to find a solution | 02:54 |
| stlsaint | bella-t: sorry i could not be of more help | 02:57 |
| bella-t | no problem if I'll find a solution i'll inform you in this channel | 02:57 |

| Cheri703 | is it possible to do a sudo cp -R across an sftp link? | 02:58 |
| Cheri703 | i.e. I want to copy my netbook stuff across to my desktop | 02:59 |
| Cheri703 | it is saying it can't locate it | 02:59 |
| stlsaint | Cheri703: why not use ssh or scp? | 03:15 |
| Cheri703 | I don't know how to use ssh to copy from one computer to another | 03:15 |
| Cheri703 | I am working on another way of doing it, so it's not a huge deal | 03:15 |
| stlsaint | well how are you trying to do it then? | 03:15 |
| stlsaint | oh alright | 03:16 |
| stlsaint | afk | 03:16 |
| mjeamiguel | hi guys :) | 05:12 |
| mjeamiguel | just needed help if someone can direct me to a chennel for benchmark software?\ | 05:12 |
| aveilleux | mjeamiguel: What kind of benchmarks? | 05:18 |
| mjeamiguel | hi aveilleux.. dhrystone | 05:18 |
| mjeamiguel | I'm just wondering if there are any channels for benchmarking in general | 05:19 |
| aveilleux | mjeamiguel: Not that I'm aware of, it seems too much of a niche thing to me | 05:20 |
| aveilleux | mjeamiguel: What do you want to know about Dhrystone? | 05:20 |
| mjeamiguel | I just downloaded it, i wanted to know about it in detail | 05:21 |
| mjeamiguel | the white paper online doesnt say much | 05:21 |
| aveilleux | mjeamiguel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhrystone | 05:21 |
| mjeamiguel | lol | 05:21 |
| aveilleux | mjeamiguel: When in doubt, wiki it! | 05:21 |
| mjeamiguel | hahahah..did that already but thanks | 05:21 |
| mjeamiguel | :) | 05:21 |
| mjeamiguel | do you think phoronix channel might know? | 05:22 |
| mjeamiguel | i mean | 05:22 |
| mjeamiguel | channels | 05:22 |
| aveilleux | mjeamiguel: I'm sure they have a better understanding of it than I do. | 05:23 |
| mjeamiguel | aveilleux cool! thanks so much for your help :) | 05:23 |

| bioterror | wutz so funny? | 10:51 |
| nlsthzn | The interwebs | 11:00 |
| andyport | I'm trying to load the netbook version of Ubuntu on to my Acer One Aspire netbook but it won't boot from a USB stick, any ideas? | 11:13 |
| nlsthzn | andyport: What did you use to make the USB bootable? | 11:19 |
| andyport | I followed the instructions on the Ubuntu download site | 11:20 |
| andyport | my problem is that I cannot select to boot from a USB stick on the netbook | 11:20 |
| nlsthzn | andyport: Check and make sure that booting from USB is enabled in your bios | 11:20 |
| nlsthzn | bbl, lunch time now ;) hope you get it working | 11:20 |
| head_victim | andyport: when you boot up with the USB plugged in if you hit F12 it should give you a list of devices to boot from correct? | 11:28 |
| andyport | yes it does but it lists USB DVD drive, USB FDD but not USB stick that I can see | 11:29 |
| andyport | I tried USB FDD but it didn't work | 11:29 |
| head_victim | Does selecting the USB DVD drive do anything? | 11:30 |
| andyport | I've tried creating an ISO DVD from the netbook ISO file but that doesn't work either, it talks to the DVD but nothing happens | 11:30 |
| head_victim | andyport: sorry was just checking some forum posts, no one else is mentioning any problems so looking further | 11:34 |
| andyport | OK thanks | 11:34 |
| head_victim | andyport: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/ubuntu-netbook-remix-acer-aspire-one-netbook there is a section in about the third paragraph about what you need to do in the bios if that helps | 11:35 |
| andyport | thanks, I'll take look | 11:36 |
| Puck` | is anyone around who can help me out with the Wiki? | 11:39 |
| Puck` | ubuntu Wiki, login problems | 11:39 |
| head_victim | Puck`: I had some a little while ago wasn't sure if it was just me or not, I reset my password and it let me ok then so not sure | 11:41 |
| Puck` | head_victim: my problem is that everytime i need to log in, i have to choose another username, it doesn't let me in with the same one after logging in through launchpad | 11:43 |
| head_victim | Puck`: yeah that's the error it gave me. It asked me for a password to link the accounts but I couldn't get it right. I wasn't sure if it was just me (as I wasn't sure if I'd logged in on this computer before) so I just reset the password and then it worked ok. | 11:44 |
| Puck` | head_victim: but when i want to reset my password, i get to https://launchpad.net/+forgottenpassword, which is a 404 page, page not found .. | 11:45 |
| head_victim | Puck`: https://login.launchpad.net/+forgot_password | 11:48 |
| head_victim | Try that one | 11:48 |
| Puck` | now i'm getting errors | 11:56 |
| Puck` | oh boy :\ | 11:56 |
| bioterror | i had to read ur nick twice :D | 12:01 |
| head_victim | Good luck Puck` I have to head off for a little bit. | 12:02 |
| Puck` | thx head_victim | 12:04 |
| Tsar_Evitsa | Hi all | 12:50 |
| stlsaint | sup | 12:53 |
| Tsar_Evitsa | Doing fine, thanks, and you? | 12:53 |
| stlsaint | great, though only here for a brief moment | 12:53 |
| stlsaint | Tsar_Evitsa: anything you need assitance with? | 12:53 |
| Tsar_Evitsa | I would like to become a developer/more active in the community and I was advised to check out things here first | 12:54 |
| Tsar_Evitsa | So here I am :P | 12:54 |
| stlsaint | Tsar_Evitsa: oh awesome | 13:00 |
| dog_ | could someone direct me to the # that covers panel volume control missing? | 13:00 |
| Tsar_Evitsa | Thanks. It's a bit unclear how to get started though. There is a clear guide on how to register and how to install the tools etc, but not really on how to get involved | 13:02 |
| stlsaint | Tsar_Evitsa: started in ubuntu dev? | 13:03 |
| stlsaint | dog_: you looking to file a bug? | 13:03 |
| Tsar_Evitsa | Yes there, and the group that does the packaging, that's also interesting to me | 13:04 |
| dog_ | I'm not sure. I installed 1004 from factory disk and when I upgraded to 1010, the volume control in the panel disappeared | 13:04 |
| stlsaint | Tsar_Evitsa: well we have a -dev channel but its not dedicated to packaging | 13:04 |
| stlsaint | Tsar_Evitsa: maybe interested in the MOTU | 13:04 |
| stlsaint | dog_: have you tried adding it back through panel options | 13:05 |
| Tsar_Evitsa | Yes, the dev channel I am also already, I'll find more info on MOTU. Thanks | 13:05 |
| dog_ | I didn't see that listed in panel options. what is it called? | 13:05 |
| head_victim | dog_: it's a part of the indicator applet | 13:08 |
| dog_ | OK,head_victim, I found it. I really appreciate the help | 13:10 |
| head_victim | dog_: we do what we can :) | 13:10 |
| dog_ | Actually, I think this may be the ONLY chat I ever got legitimate information from! Ha! :>) | 13:11 |
| dog_ | ...and you do it well. Thanks again. | 13:12 |
| head_victim | No worries mate | 13:12 |
| dog_ | G'day | 13:12 |
| jappie | I am having trouble installing (or actually rjunning) google earth in Ubuntu 10.10. I followed instructions via http://labtu.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-install-google-earth-in-ubuntu.html and it seems to go ok. It installs Google Earth but when I launch it, it opens for a few seconds and then it closes...any ideas/solutions? | 13:54 |
| head_victim | jappie: I'm not 100% certain myself but post #9 of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1595339 might give you some hints | 13:59 |

| jledbetter | Hello Silver_Fox_ | 15:37 |
| vu1kan | Whenever I reboot my tower I have to redefine my multimedia keys(i.e. play/pause, vol +/-) in gnome-keybinding-properties. If I don't redefine them, the pc doesn't respond when I press any of the media buttons. Both before and after I redefine them, the entry under "shortcut" is the same for each key(XF86"Something", such as XF86AudioPlay)...is there something I should be doing to 'keep' the keybindings after a reboot? I should note that no | 15:51 |
| geekosopher | vu1kan: are you using kubuntu? | 15:52 |
| vu1kan | nope, ubuntu 10.04 | 15:53 |
| geekosopher | vu1kan: then asking in #ubuntu would be your best bet | 15:53 |
| geirha | vu1kan: It should save those immediately after setting them. Maybe you don't have write permissions. | 15:53 |
| paultag | vu1kan, interesting | 15:54 |
| vu1kan | i've asked there, with no response...i popped over here while waiting a decent amount of time to repost my q | 15:54 |
| geirha | vu1kan: In a terminal, does this command output anything? find . ! -user "$USER" -print | 15:54 |
| paultag | vu1kan, the entry should look like XF86* -- those are the extra keys on the keyboard | 15:54 |
| geirha | err, find ~ ! -user "$USER" -print | 15:54 |
| vu1kan | geirha: it outputs alot | 15:55 |
| geirha | vu1kan: That means you have files in your homedir which are not owned by you. A typical reason for that is running something as root (with sudo) that shouldn't be run as root. | 15:56 |
| paultag | geirha, you rock, great call | 15:57 |
| geirha | vu1kan: If the directories gnome-keyboard-properties need to save to are not owned by you, it won't manage to save those settings. | 15:57 |
| vu1kan | most of the files it was returning are from playing around with UCK | 15:57 |
| geirha | vu1kan: sudo chown -R "$USER:" "$HOME" #should fix that issue. | 15:59 |
| geirha | paultag: I'm more into jazz actually ;P | 15:59 |
| paultag | geirha, :) | 15:59 |
| geekosopher | oops! my attention was divided between here and tv, didn't notice I was on #ubuntu-beginners, thought that I was on #kubuntu, sorry vu1kan :) | 16:01 |
| vu1kan | geirha: it appeared to resolve correctly...i'm gonna reboot and see if it works | 16:02 |
| geirha | vu1kan: Logging out and back in again should be sufficient to test. | 16:02 |
| vu1kan | that's what i ment | 16:02 |
| paultag | geekosopher, It's OK. No harm no foul | 16:02 |
| vu1kan | bad habits left over from windoze | 16:02 |
