[00:01] no, I didn't [00:06] so, does that mean my laptop is doomed? [00:08] ? [00:14] Yeah, person. I was looking for solutions. [00:14] =/ [00:17] not the laptop [00:17] just the optical drive :) [00:20] yeah, you could leave it and buy an external one or replace the internal drive. === webjadmin is now known as JackyAlcine [02:19] I can't remember how to submit a bug, can someone point me to the guide or give me the quick version? [02:19] Cheri703, You mean via launchpad? [02:20] probably? I have a program that is having buggy issues [02:20] * Cheri703 probably should have paid more attention in our class ;D [02:20] Could tr--lol [02:20] Could try searching on launchpad for it to see if it's been reported already. Specially since you know the app [02:20] looked, not seeing it :( [02:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [02:21] awesome thanks~ [02:21] Ah. Lucky (or maybe not). Each bug I found I found it already submitted. And I fought the urge to "me too" like a good person :D [02:21] ! [02:21] heh [02:21] Welcome :) [02:25] if it's not an official ubuntu version? newer version, do I go punch it in on sourceforge or? [02:25] Great question. Not sure then. If it's a nightly build or such, maybe. [02:26] Punch it in, Cheri703, as a development bug.. [02:30] hmm...ok [02:31] Speaking of which, Cheri703 and IAmNotThatGuy, you guys should install Mumble; we'll be using it in ##speechcontrol for more voice accessible meetings. [02:32] JackyAlcine, you should have told me yesterday before I went to sleep :P . Okies I ll install by tonight =] [02:32] lol, no problem; it's a quick install, practically voice IRC. [02:32] ah okies === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as M0hi === zkriesse is now known as Guest42343 === zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse [06:53] anyone here? [06:54] !question [06:54] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:54] what can we help with? [06:55] will my compaq presario cq62 work with Linux? [06:55] Do you know the specs? [06:55] http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02207161&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=101&prodSeriesId=4149939&prodTypeId=321957 heres the spcs [06:56] Yes, Red_ [06:56] And it'll run smoothly as well. [06:56] YAY! thanks! [06:56] Is your computer a factory model or is there anything you've tweaked? [06:56] Red_: you can always do the "try before installing" and play with it [06:56] wait, even with just two GB of RAM? [06:56] no its factory. [06:57] it'll love 2gb of ram :) [06:57] Red_: Ubuntu will run fine on 315 MB. I do so on one of my ancient Compaq laptops. [06:57] Red_: well, my Dell runs on 2GB of RAM. :) [06:57] and i'm putting ubuntu on a huge external hdd btw. [06:57] Red_: Ubuntu is much less memory-hungry than The Redmond System. [06:57] I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on a 320 GB external HDD [06:57] Red_: try it live [06:58] read about GRUB [06:58] I have 10.10 running on a dell notebook with a 1.7ghz processor and 512 ram [06:58] and BURG! [06:58] AH, i just heard about burg [06:58] i dont have access to a live disk. [06:58] sorry. you can tell im new. [06:59] Red_: what are you using to install? [06:59] um........ i thought you just DLd it to an external drive an then installed it? [06:59] A live disk is practically a frozen copy of Ubuntu or any casper-capable CD. [06:59] No, Red_. [07:00] You'll need either a CD or USB key to install Ubuntu. [07:00] oh crap...... im in deeper than i thought............' [07:00] oh i think i know of one.... [07:00] Take a look at the Ubuntu download page. [07:01] Red_: it's as easy as burning any other cd, and still pretty darn easy to make the usb [07:01] ok i found it. [07:03] i guess ill just use the universal installer the DL page has. [07:03] UNetbootin? [07:05] this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [07:05] That works. [07:06] so should i go with the external HD or a CD? [07:06] CD. [07:06] faster? [07:07] Not necessarily, you won't be able to install Ubuntu to the HDD if it's loaded OFF OF the HDD. [07:07] Where are you trying to install the system itself to? Not the download. The computer or the external drive? [07:08] I guess if rather put it on the external because it hads more memory, but the internal has plenty, so it would work. [07:09] Lol, well, regardless, you should install the Installation Media to a disc, for easy storage. [07:09] and just in case something happens to go astray. [07:11] ok so download it to the disk then, and then pick what i want to install it to. acually, i think I'll go with internal. i dont want to be dangling a spining HD on a cable while im in school. [07:12] oh, and 32 or 64 bit? [07:12] i haven't upgraded RAM or anything. [07:12] Hold on. [07:12] Red_: 64-bit would work on your system. [07:13] Yeah, aveilleux got to it before me. [07:13] * JackyAlcine throws a fit. [07:13] throw a spanner - more fun that way [07:13] * aveilleux calms JackyAlcine down D: [07:13] i know but is one still better than the other? ive seen a lot of conflicting threads. [07:14] Red_: FAPP, no. 64-bit is the way to go if you plan on upgrading your RAM past 4GB, though. It can't really hurt, unless you do some royal hacking. [07:14] It's not a matter of one being better; it's just that running 10.10 x86 (32-bit) on a 64-bit doesn't work, or at least, that happened to me. [07:14] er [07:14] For All Practical Purposes [07:15] JackyAlcine: That shouldn't happen; x86_64 and AMD64 have 32-bit compatibility modes. [07:15] Hola hobgoblin o/ [07:15] well i dont plan on upgrading anytime soon. but ill still go with 64 bit. [07:15] 32 on a 64 bit worked/works fine for me here [07:15] hi M0hi [07:16] Perhaps it's because I installed it on a 32-bit system onto an external drive and then plugged it into a 64-bit system? [07:16] * JackyAlcine 'that's what i did' [07:16] Red_: not sure if it's been mentioned - but you 'might' have issues getting flash to work on 64 bit - I gave up and went back to 32bit [07:16] JackyAlcine: That still shouldn't break it, unless /proc didn't update properly [07:16] hobgoblin, I am not well today :"{ cold and fever. cant even talk =[ [07:16] M0hi: then cya later ... [07:16] hobgoblin, Red_: I didn't, actually. Running it on a Macbook 3,1, Ubuntu 10.10 x64 [07:17] hobgoblin, Red_: flash works fine here on 64bit, it's much better now than it was in the past [07:17] hobgoblin, o/ cya soon [07:17] sweet. i think i know what ive got to do then. thanks! [07:18] aveilleux: yofel - not saying it doesn't work - not working for me though :) - always best to let people know there could be issues - we all know nothing is perfect [07:18] except for ubuntu, hobgoblin! [07:18] JackyAlcine: not really [07:18] hobgoblin: agreed [07:18] JackyAlcine: oh dear a zealot :( ... :) [07:19] lol :D [07:19] well ill try it tommoeoq and let you know how it goes. [07:19] good luck then Red_ [07:20] Good luck, Red_ [07:20] thanks. need to get some sleep. what time is it where you are? [07:20] JackyAlcine: so on your perfect ubuntu does alsamixer work all the way down to 0 - mine cuts all sound at approximately 28% [07:21] Not sure; haven't ever dropped it below 45% [07:21] But I use pulseaudio.. [07:21] there is a bug somewhere and like all good ubuntu lp bug's I suspect it's being ignored lol - but my /auncghpad search fu is poor [07:22] so do I - try and drop volume low and see if it cuts out - please - I am serious [07:23] * JackyAlcine shakes his head in disgust. [07:23] I never noticed that.. [07:23] you too then [07:23] You think it might be a range misconfiguration? [07:24] and now for the laugh - it works in windows ... [07:24] he he he he [07:24] no idea - but it gets annoying when I'm trying not to wake the little one up [07:25] cya latter. if i see you guys again ill let you know how it goes, but as im not online at 2 A.M like....ever, that probably wont be soon. [07:25] Kkay, Red_ [07:25] Good luck :D [07:26] thx. [07:29] C++ is fun. [07:31] I'm not learning that to fix sound ... [07:32] lol [07:33] If I ever find the bug again I'll let you know :) of course I might just report it as a bug and let someone else find the duplicate :D [07:41] lol right? [07:41] but I think there's an easy patch; I know people who work in the community staff; I'll mention this to them. [07:43] get them to make launchpad searching easier ;) [07:44] The update to launchpad should have brought that about? [07:44] Launchpad's incredibly huge... [07:46] I know - perhaps they should just delete all the bugs they are ignoring forever [07:46] anyway - I'm just going to report it I think [07:54] JackyAlcine: if you want to 'me too' the bug it's https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/695605 [07:54] Launchpad bug 695605 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "No sound when volume reduced to about 20% (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] [07:55] only thing I found was a thread on the mint forum - I'll be adding the bug there once I have an account there [07:57] thanks ubot2 [08:01] * hobgoblin annoys linux mint forum with the bug too [08:27] o/ [08:27] o/ [08:28] * hobgoblin pokes nit-wit to see if he's a bear [08:29] hobgoblin, i'm hibernating [08:31] nit-wit: so would I ... I got your PM and ping on here as I was shutting down for the day :( [08:31] the other day that was [08:32] hobgoblin, sorry to bother you with that I'm sure they got it together [08:32] not a bother - if I Was here I'd have had a head start :) [08:34] hobgoblin, i think its time to crash here.:) [08:34] I suspect so ... night time over the pond - I know because the cafe is quiet :D [08:35] hobgoblin, is the cafe infested with the UK users .;) [08:35] usually it goes failry quiet during my day :) [08:37] hobgoblin, not that there is anything wrong with that. I click on stuff if the header is appealing but mainly just lurk the main board. [08:37] I tend to put in a bit of a shift in there then leave it well alone [08:40] hobgoblin, it seems to be running smooth altogether really, with the staff and all, large user base and faster response and fixes in many areas then you can get from vendors. Lots of stuff the computer vendors wouldn't touch . [08:41] I find that it cycles - we are midway between releases - it all slows down then speeds up again twice a year [08:41] hi [08:42] could someone help me i'm new to ubuntu and i made some mistake [08:42] hobgoblin, that makes sense, [08:43] see you all soon :) [08:44] !ask | Lehel [08:44] Lehel: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:45] iduall booted ubuntu 10.10 alongside with, xp, and it worked fine [08:47] i wanted to partition in xp ith partition magic and found some error "Init failed: i clicked to fix it, and now when i en ter in ubuntu the gpartition says that the whole disk is unallocated [08:48] so now under ubuntu cannot access any of my net devices (wireless or wired) [08:49] the problem is that the gpartition or device manager sees that the whole disk is unallocated and cannot acces the net [08:49] currently i'm on my xp [09:02] I suspect that you fixed the partition table in XP, not something I've looked at - try using testdisk http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Testdisk [09:04] thanks hobgoblin, will try it [09:05] be very careful whatever you do [09:05] and yes i messed up with partition magic under xp [09:06] under xp everything is there, the problem is under ubuntu cause it doesn't recognize correctly the disk [09:13] Lehel: that's your primary HDD? [09:14] 1 HDD with 3 partitions [09:15] and xp boots just fines, every data is there, only ubuntu recognize it as the whole hard is unallocated [09:15] is this a reall dual boot or wubi [09:15] real boot [09:16] Lehel: can you pastebint what 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' gives you? [09:16] the problem started when i tried to re partition under xp with partition magic [09:17] ok will need to log off and enter the ubuntu, currently i'm on xp [09:26] Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes [09:26] 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders [09:27] Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes [09:27] Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes [09:27] I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes [09:27] Disk identifier: 0xf5544826 [09:27] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [09:27] /dev/sda1 * 1 3823 30708216 7 HPFS/NTFS [09:27] /dev/sda2 5098 19457 115346669+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) [09:27] /dev/sda3 3823 5097 10234964+ 7 HPFS/NTFS [09:27] /dev/sda5 5098 17037 95908018+ 7 HPFS/NTFS [09:27] /dev/sda6 17037 19351 18587648 83 Linux [09:27] /dev/sda7 19351 19458 855040 82 Linux swap / Solaris [09:27] !pastebin [09:27] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [09:28] lehel: then it's a problem on the gparted side though, since the system recognizes the disk fine as you see [09:29] yofel: ok will try to make a screenshot === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as M0hi [09:35] http://imagebin.org/130198 [09:36] yofel: after i entered the ubuntu safe mode, and clicked on recover now my enternet devices are working, the wireless as well [09:37] the only problem is that it recognize as unallocated and cannot merge the 10 GB partition into the 90GB [09:39] I fear I'm out of ideas here.. [09:40] http://imagebin.org/130201 [09:40] yofel also the disk utility shows me that is unallocated [09:42] i left the 10 GB partition before installing Ubuntu, I hoped it will put there, but it didn't so now i dunno what to do with that 10GB, also under xp with Partition magic cannot merge it, it just hang out without doing anything [09:43] hm, I wonder if it's confused by the weird partition sequence: sda1 | sda3 | sda2 | sda5 | sda6 | sda7, I wonder if partition magic caused that [09:44] most likely partition magic caused that, cause before recognized it [09:45] I'd say sda2 and sda7 - sda2 is the extended - ends on 19457 - sda7 is swap - starts inside extended - ends outide it [09:46] hobgoblin: yeah, but why did it reorder sda2 and sda3? (look at the cylinder values) [09:48] mines like that [09:48] on sda1 is the xp, on sda2 is nothing i hoped it will be the linux, and the sd3 is the extended, sd5 my data, sd6 ubunt and sd7 swap [09:48] i have no idea about the values [09:54] thanks for your time, i appreciate it [09:54] what would you recommend me? [09:59] not looking like there's anyone here that can help you fix the partition table at the moment - hang about, try #ubuntu - though I suspect as soon as you mention partition magic you'll get moaned at or post on the forums [09:59] lehel: ^^ [10:00] partition magic cannot handle the ext4 type, and with linux i'm just getting used too [10:01] will try later, thanx again [12:00] ChanServ:hi [12:01] collinp:hii [13:34] somebody here? [13:45] sogepp, yes [13:45] sigh, i thought i'm the only one here [13:46] We all are here =] [14:24] hi ppl [14:50] <^AndreA^> Hi everybody [14:51] <^AndreA^> I'm setting up a new laptop with Ubuntu but, unfortunately, the audio is not working out of the box. [14:51] <^AndreA^> On the HP site they say my sound/audio system is: "Altec Lansing speakers". [14:51] <^AndreA^> Anyone has dealt with it before and can give me a clue on what needs to be done? [14:51] <^AndreA^> The funny thing (for me) is that from the headphones I can hear the sound properly but from the speakers there is no sound at all... [14:54] ^AndreA^: did you check on the Panel (click it) > Sound Preferences > Output tab > and check if your Connector is choosen as Analog Microphone or Speaker? [14:57] <^AndreA^> there are two possibilities for the output audio tab: [14:57] <^AndreA^> 1) internal audio analog stereo [14:58] <^AndreA^> 2) manhattan HDMI Audio [14:58] you sure that the sound is not muted? [14:58] <^AndreA^> I am [14:58] <^AndreA^> unfortunately I am... [14:58] ^AndreA^: choose Internal? [14:58] <^AndreA^> that's the selected one... no luck [14:58] how about the connector option? [14:59] if there is one, in output tab. [15:00] <^AndreA^> oh, ok... I was looking for it... there isn't... [15:01] ^AndreA^: could you also check the Hardware tab? [15:02] try altering the hardware and profile, under hardware tab. [15:02] <^AndreA^> in the hardware tab there are two options: [15:03] <^AndreA^> 1) internal audio [15:03] <^AndreA^> 2) Manhattan HDMI etc.... [15:03] <^AndreA^> internal is selected... [15:03] <^AndreA^> also, the profile can be: [15:03] ^AndreA^, you updated your machine once? [15:04] <^AndreA^> off, analog stereo input, analog stereo output, analog stereo duplex... (duplex is selected) [15:04] system-> Administration -> update manager [15:04] <^AndreA^> it's all up to date... [15:10] <^AndreA^> it's all quite frustrating! [15:10] <^AndreA^> btw guys, thanks for your help... [15:10] ^AndreA^: hold on, i'll give you a link. [15:10] for sound troubleshooting. [15:10] <^AndreA^> i was already trouble shooting the sound on the ubuntu site... [15:11] ^AndreA^: is it this one? --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [15:11] <^AndreA^> yes [15:11] ah, okie. [15:12] <^AndreA^> I run the ALSA information script and got 2k lines of info... [15:12] <^AndreA^> LOL [15:13] <^AndreA^> if anyone is able to read it properly would be very helpful... [15:14] <^AndreA^> the only thing strange for me is that the driver version is: 1.0.21 while the library/utilities version is 1.0.22... [15:15] <^AndreA^> not sure if that matters though... [16:25] Hello. can you download Ubuntu to a DVD+R disk? [16:25] you can burn it that indeed [16:26] oh hey you're still on! thanks. [16:26] I'm hoping to get it at least downloaded today. maybe even get my HD partitioned. [16:29] why am i on a London, England sever? I'm in Florida! [16:37] goodluck then Red___ [16:48] Hello ALL :) [16:49] Morning, shahan [16:49] JackyAlcine: night there :) [16:49] is there a good aritcle on how to partition the HD for a dual boot of windowss7 and Unbuntu? [16:49] Yup; on the Ubuntu help site; let me get that link for you. [16:49] Wait. [16:50] Did you already install Windows or is Ubuntu your first operating system? [16:50] thanks. that site is awesome but its freakin huge [16:50] I am facing a serius problem there for getting connecion on my MAVERICK http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10296952#post10296952 [16:50] yes, windows came on it. [16:51] So, you installed Ubuntu second, I understand, Red___ [16:52] i haven't even started installin git though. im hoping to at least create the disk today. [16:53] Oh, okay, well, when you do, you'll need to download a few more packages that will allow you to multiboot with Windows and Ubuntu with ease. [16:53] And shahan, from your post, your DNS servers look irregular.. [16:54] hey i gtg. ill be back on in in maybe an hour though. [16:54] JackyAlcine: I dont know... but my internet is doing good on Windows XP [16:54] shahan - start another new thread on the forum - even if it is yours I'm closing it now. [16:54] hobgoblin: why? [16:54] Yeah, hobgoblin'll get it noticed that way, shahan. [16:54] Like people notice the more recent threads. [16:54] hobgoblin: ok [16:55] I am opening a new thread [16:55] Have you tried running a LiveCD/LiveUSB, shahan? [16:55] * JackyAlcine shakes his head and says, "Instead of doing homework, he's helping Ubuntueers" [16:57] JackyAlcine: ya [16:57] Were you able to connect in the live system? [17:01] hobgoblin: are you going to open a new thread? [17:32] hey. [17:34] so how many disks do i need to put ubuntu on? im usig dvd+r disks. [17:41] oh and what are the extra packages i need to put on the disk to allow dual boot? [17:42] there are none [17:42] i hate conflicting arguments... [17:42] Lol, Red___ you could have used a CD for it, the normal desktop install is 693 MB. [17:42] I'm dual booting, and I did not need extra packages [17:43] oh ok i thought you said i would need some others. [17:43] GRUB doesn't come standard with Ubuntu, ShootEmUp. [17:43] nope, just the install CD [17:43] grub2 comes with it [17:43] ok im going to go grab a blank disk now. [17:44] JackyAlcine, grub comes with it, without grub ubuntu can't boot [17:45] ShootEmUp: it installs GRUB onto your system, but not the configuration packages. If Ubuntu is installed AFTER Windows, a bit more reconfiguration will be required. [17:45] Installing Ubuntu AFTER windows is the easyist way to do it [17:46] grub will automaticly find windows [17:47] and grub is what allows it to dual boot? [17:47] if using 9.10 or sooner, its grub2 witch will find windows automaticly [17:47] Red___ yes [17:47] ok awesome. brb. [17:48] that was qwick [17:48] ShootEmUp, end of life for 9.10 is in april 2011 [17:49] i opened the log in screen in a nother window and entered the log in info before i closed the last one. [17:49] I know, I was saying if using anything newer than 9.10 the bootloader is grub2 [17:50] ok so if i follow this to the letter, will i be ok? http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [17:50] let me look [17:50] yes you will be [17:51] ok thanks. starting it now. [17:51] just do the side by side install, ubuntu already knows how to work with windows [17:51] DO NOT clear your entire disk [17:52] ShootEmUp, I don't think there is a side by side that is trustworthy in 10.10 [17:52] yes there is [17:53] ok. how come the "show me how" thing doesn't mention windows 7? [17:53] do not question me, I dual boot Ubuntu 10.10 and Vista. I know what I'm doing [17:53] ShootEmUp, I think it is but new users are overwriting their windows [17:54] Red___, just follow the steps for vista [17:54] ok got it. [17:54] Red___: will still work, I dual boot maverick and win7 here, works fine [17:54] thank you [17:54] I needed someone to back me up [17:55] ShootEmUp, I fix the mistakes everyday that are caused by borked side by sides. A person needs to resize the Windows first make sure it is working then install [17:55] I actually am running Windows 7 and Maverick as well. [17:56] this is the burn software i need? http://infrarecorder.org/?page_id=5 [17:56] nit-wit, shut up please, It's fine, I've done it [17:56] Red___ any burner will do, ever windows 7 built in one [17:56] *even [17:57] ShootEmUp, first that is improper etiquette to say that, you are the only person in the world who dual boots [17:57] sorry for all the questions. this is my first foray into more advanced stuff and i dont want to brick my pc. [17:57] It's not your fault [17:57] oh so i dont need it, i can just use the winows 7 one? [17:57] yup [17:57] nit-wit: as a matter of fact, 2 other persons (including me) have said they dual boot... [17:57] Red___, be very careful this is some advice that is haphazard [17:57] what? [17:57] Red___, iginore nit-wit [17:58] ok. i figured i probably should. [17:58] Red___, do you have a windows 7 install or recovery disk? [17:58] yofel, yes I have W7 maverick linux mint 10 and Natty on one HD [17:58] its backed up to an external hd. [17:58] I would recomend one of thouse [17:59] okay, everything or just pesonal data? [17:59] whole computer. [17:59] okay, that will work [17:59] but creating the disk doesn't have any risk does it? [17:59] nope [18:00] kk. [18:00] Installing has some risk like if you lose power during install [18:01] ok ill make sure that wont happen. [18:01] good [18:03] ShootEmUp: STOP telling people to be quiet, YOU are not the only person in the world to have dual booted - or are you going to stay here 24/7 waiting for Red___ to return justy in case they have issues [18:03] hobgoblin, thank you this is some haphazard advice at best [18:04] hobgoblin, I understand, BUT he was talking over the top of me wile I was trying to help someone [18:04] why is my name red___? does red raven not fit or something? [18:04] hobgoblin, I'm sorry for telling him to shut up [18:05] nit-wit, I'm sorry [18:05] Red___: red raven might be a nick already - or it's the space [18:05] ShootEmUp, not a problem, if you notice we all work together here [18:06] nit-wit, okay, but you have to understand that I know what I'm talking about [18:06] ok. do im downloading the x64 bit version of Infa Recorder. figured it would be better to just follow the instructions. [18:06] insted of destroying my credibility [18:07] ShootEmUp, you are not sorry, [18:08] nit-wit, yes I am [18:08] Red___: hang on a moment - I'm going to read the backlog [18:08] ShootEmUp nit-wit - both pack it in please [18:09] okay, I'm sorry and It wan't happen again [18:09] whats he looking for in the back log? [18:10] our little argument [18:10] oh ok lol. [18:10] don't worry, It doesn't involve you [18:11] an error came up that said infa recorder wasn't a valid installer. [18:12] should i have hit save and not run? [18:14] ok hiting save worked. [18:14] Red___: you need to be aware that people watch other people and if someone shouts then it is useful and good to look at what has been said. Especially if you are new to linux - you would not know good info from bad. [18:15] thanks. ive looked at the back log once already, so im glad i know how to use it. infa recorder is almost done btw. [18:15] that was quick - did you burn slow or as fast as you could? [18:16] also have you checked the md5sum for the download yet or did you get it from a torrent? [18:16] i meant its almost done installing infa recorder. [18:16] k its done now. [18:16] aah k - before you burn did you check the download? [18:17] Red___: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM%20on%20Windows [18:17] wait, wtf? i deleted the installer and now infa is gone. [18:18] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [18:19] Red___, right click on the ISO and select "Burn Disk Image", once you done checking the MD5 hash [18:19] it will burn the disk using win7 built in iso burner [18:19] i just want to give props to hobgoblin who's helped me out several times with difficult issues. Rock on hobgoblin! [18:20] lol [18:20] Merry (day 6 of 12) Christmas everyone! [18:21] !cookie | hobgoblin [18:21] hobgoblin: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [18:21] thanks for helping hobgoblin [18:23] ...ok im sorrry but what is MD5SUM? [18:23] it's a way to check that the download you have is good - no point in burning it without making sure :) [18:24] ok so do i have to DL MD5SUM? [18:25] Red___: to be frank - if I'm helping someone with an install issue I stop if they've not checked :D [18:25] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [18:25] this might help [18:25] Red___: gave you a link to the win section of that page a few lines up [18:25] ok thx. [18:25] wrong link, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM on Windows [18:26] which is the same link lol [18:26] crap, it screwed up on me [18:26] Red___: there's a link to the md5 hashes above as well [18:26] mine works :) [18:26] just scroll down to the windows part [18:27] ok. [18:27] to the part that says "MD5SUM on Windows" [18:28] im at that now. i read the opening so i semi-know what it is and why its important. [18:28] Guys, I need clarification; what's the different between a shared library and a static library? [18:30] Red___, it checks to see if it is curropt or not [18:30]
