| ibuclaw | holstein, oh man... | 00:11 |
| ibuclaw | those were the good old days | 00:11 |
| holstein | ibuclaw: ? | 00:11 |
| ibuclaw | (looking at screenshots) | 00:12 |
| Red-Raven | ...we still do that. | 00:12 |
| Red-Raven | holstein, the option under behaviors wasn't there. | 00:13 |
| holstein | Red-Raven: the options have changed | 00:13 |
| holstein | maybe you could take a screenshot? | 00:14 |
| holstein | Red-Raven: ^^ | 00:14 |
| Red-Raven | yah hold on | 00:14 |

| nit-wit | holstein, does Red-Raven's image look like low graphics mode to you? | 00:20 |
| Red-Raven | ....O.O | 00:21 |
| JackyAlcine | Red-Raven: It looks like that the theme set for the window controls is some standard stuff. | 00:21 |
| Red-Raven | Xchat and FF are normal. | 00:21 |
| holstein | nah | 00:21 |
| holstein | i think thats following the theme | 00:22 |
| holstein | the icon theme and all | 00:22 |
| Red-Raven | the theme is "dusty" and its never been like this before. | 00:22 |
| nit-wit | holstein, cool:) hopefully | 00:22 |
| holstein | Red-Raven: go into preferences | 00:22 |
| holstein | and check the icons | 00:22 |
| holstein | that looks normal to me | 00:22 |
| holstein | for that theme | 00:23 |
| JackyAlcine | Red-Raven: I think that part of the theme's missing. Does it do that for all of your themes? | 00:23 |
| Red-Raven | no ill try another one. | 00:23 |
| holstein | JackyAlcine: that to | 00:23 |
| holstein | like the icons are missing | 00:23 |
| holstein | or not being loaded | 00:23 |
| holstein | and defaulting to gnome ones | 00:23 |
| Red-Raven | same thing on another theme. | 00:24 |
| holstein | Red-Raven: try the icon theme | 00:25 |
| Red-Raven | when i click places all the main folders like Docs, Music, Etc. are the same thing. | 00:25 |
| Red-Raven | under customize? | 00:26 |
| holstein | system - preferences - appearance | 00:26 |
| holstein | customize | 00:26 |
| holstein | icons | 00:26 |
| JackyAlcine | ^^ holstein's on to something. | 00:26 |
| holstein | JackyAlcine: hehe | 00:27 |
| Red-Raven | yah but im not using a custom theme. once you create a custom theme it makes it's own seperate theme so the default ones stay intact. im using a default one, so the icons should be the same. | 00:27 |
| holstein | right | 00:28 |
| holstein | try changing the theme icons | 00:28 |
| holstein | just for the hell of it | 00:28 |
| Red-Raven | oh thx. i had it set to Gnome. | 00:29 |
| holstein | cool | 00:31 |
| holstein | im out... laterx... | 00:31 |
| Red-Raven | oh crap. it only changed the "places" icons. would a reboot help? | 00:31 |
| Red-Raven | brb | 00:36 |
| Red-Raven | yay! reboot fixed it. | 00:40 |

| Red-Raven | hey. | 02:47 |
| Red-Raven | i don't get it. why can 64 bit processors run 64 bit OSs, but not 64 bit VMs? | 02:49 |
| holstein | Red-Raven: not sure about that | 02:50 |
| holstein | i thought a 64bit proc could be 'faked' in VM | 02:51 |
| holstein | Vbox | 02:51 |
| holstein | whatever | 02:51 |
| holstein | by a 32bit machine | 02:51 |
| holstein | nothing you would want to run other than for testing | 02:51 |
| Red-Raven | yah mee neither. its kind of backwards. would using VMware instead of Vbox make a difference? | 02:51 |
| holstein | i would think they would be similar | 02:52 |
| holstein | in features | 02:52 |
| aveilleux | holstein: VBox can run a 64-bit processor..... | 02:56 |
| holstein | yeah | 02:59 |
| holstein | maybe that wasnt cleat | 02:59 |
| holstein | clear* | 02:59 |
| holstein | i was saying | 02:59 |
| holstein | im pretty sure Vbox on 32bit | 02:59 |
| holstein | can run 64bit | 02:59 |
| holstein | not that you would want to | 02:59 |
| Red-Raven | yah but apparently my processer doesn't support 64 bit VMs. | 02:59 |
| Red-Raven | yet it is a 64 bit processor. go figure. | 03:01 |
| aveilleux | Red-Raven: Are you running 64-bit Ubuntu? | 03:02 |
| Red-Raven | yah. | 03:02 |
| Red-Raven | im in win7 right now if thats what you meant. | 03:02 |
| aveilleux | Red-Raven: Um, is it 64-bit Win7? | 03:02 |
| Red-Raven | yup. | 03:03 |
| holstein | no sure how Vbox runs on win | 03:03 |
| holstein | not* | 03:03 |
| aveilleux | holstein: Exactly the same? | 03:04 |
| Red-Raven | i think you have to enable virtual hardware in BIOS and because my processor doesn't support that, it won't work in any OS. | 03:04 |
| holstein | aveilleux: i have no first hand experience | 03:06 |
| holstein | so i can only speak for it running in linux | 03:06 |
| aveilleux | holstein: It runs exactly the same on both OSs | 03:06 |
| holstein | and say that you should be able to run a 64bit guest | 03:06 |
| holstein | aveilleux: what do you think the problem is then? | 03:08 |
| hakimsheriff | FREE "POWERED BY UBUNTU" STICKERS on www.system76.com | 03:10 |

| cprofitt | you wiped it clean? | 03:19 |
| Red-Raven | O.0 | 03:19 |
| cprofitt | well... I guess it depends on what your of was | 03:20 |
| cprofitt | JackyAlcine: still might be able to recovery some data, but that depends on how long you ran the dd command and how many passes | 03:21 |
| Red-Raven | oh you didn't mean to? | 03:21 |
| JackyAlcine | cprofitt: It's 320 Gbs, technically the entire drive shouldn't be clean, my math said it'd take 19 hours. | 03:24 |
| JoeMaverickSett | JackyAlcine: what? you dd-ed your drive? what was the purpose of doing it? :o | 03:27 |
| Red-Raven | how do i tell if an ISO is 64 or 32 bit? i did use google. | 03:27 |
| cprofitt | then you can try to recover data from it | 03:27 |
| JackyAlcine | cprofitt: I will. | 03:28 |
| holstein | Red-Raven: its not in the label? | 03:28 |
| cprofitt | you could install testdisk | 03:28 |

| cprofitt | and use testdisk or photorec | 03:28 |

| holstein | they are 32 | 03:30 |
| Red-Raven | sorry. i don't get what you're saying. | 03:30 |

| MichealH | Commodore64, Daniel0108: Intrested in something im doing? :) | 09:33 |
| Daniel0108 | yes why? MichealH ;) | 09:33 |
| Daniel0108 | I meant what are you doing, MichealH :P | 09:33 |
| MichealH | Daniel0108, Do you get involved in askubuntu.com? :) | 09:33 |

| Commodore64 | bioterror: is it running linux by default ? | 09:56 |
| moto_ | need help. ubuntu not booting. can access only windows now. | 09:57 |
| moto_ | can anyone help me out with it? | 09:57 |
| MichealH | !patience | moto_ | 09:57 |
| MichealH | :) | 09:57 |
| ubot2 | moto_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 09:57 |
| hajour | sometimes it takes some time for someone answers moto_ :) | 09:59 |
| moto_ | yea...apparently... | 09:59 |
| moto_ | makes me think...I shouln't have gone tinkering with ubuntu.... | 10:00 |
| moto_ | twas working so fine... | 10:00 |
| JoeMaverickSett | moto_: could you explain how you installed ubuntu or windows? | 10:00 |
| ChrisDruif | There are people who say "Don't fix it if it ain't broken" | 10:00 |
| MichealH | moto_, Give askubuntu.com a try :) | 10:00 |
| JoeMaverickSett | one after another? which was installed first? moto_ | 10:00 |
| moto_ | the PC came loaded with Windows 7. (i hate it). So i installed Ubuntu | 10:02 |
| moto_ | installed it through Win7 | 10:02 |
| ChrisDruif | Installed it through/in Windows? | 10:02 |
| moto_ | was working fine till i messed with the Xorg. | 10:02 |
| moto_ | Now that you ask, I guess its IN windows? | 10:03 |
| moto_ | but its now a dual boot option...so.... | 10:03 |
| ChrisDruif | So you can boot it or not? (Did you remember anything called Wubi?) | 10:04 |
| moto_ | Yes yes. thats the name. Wubi. | 10:04 |
| ChrisDruif | Wubi is to try it IN windows....kinda like a VM :) | 10:05 |
| moto_ | I cant boot it. It shows the two options. if i select ubuntu. the screen just blinks and the machine restarts | 10:05 |
| moto_ | ok...so what do i do now? | 10:06 |
| ChrisDruif | I have never used Wubi myself, but I hope it already created a separate partition for Ubuntu....I think you should burn the iso to a disk (or with unetbootin to usb) and properly install it :) | 10:07 |
| ChrisDruif | (Unless someone else comes with a better idea ( JoeMaverickSett )) | 10:07 |
| * MichealH coughs | 10:07 | |
| MichealH | Hi JoeMaverickSett :) | 10:08 |
| moto_ | oh, damn. | 10:08 |
| moto_ | reinstall it? i would lose all data, would i not/ | 10:08 |
| MichealH | I suggest asking @ask ubuntu :) | 10:08 |
| JoeMaverickSett | moto_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1631338 see if this is almost similar to your issue. | 10:09 |
| moto_ | yea Micheal..am checking it out. | 10:09 |
| JoeMaverickSett | oh, hello MichealH | 10:09 |
| MichealH | Hey Joey :D | 10:09 |
| MichealH | I have a nice AskUbuntu Bot :) | 10:10 |
| JoeMaverickSett | moto_: btw, i suggest you do a backup before you do anything. :) | 10:13 |
| MichealH | JoeMaverickSett, PM? :) | 10:13 |
| moto_ | Joe, that was it. Thanks a bunch, mate. lemme try whats suggested in it. | 10:13 |
| JoeMaverickSett | moto_: okie, but remember BACKUP! ;) | 10:13 |
| JoeMaverickSett | MichealH: sure. | 10:14 |
| moto_ | Yes, good thing that you reminded me. | 10:14 |
| moto_ | ;) | 10:14 |
| JoeMaverickSett | moto_: backups saves your life. :D | 10:15 |
| moto_ | sorry Joe. its the frst time am using IRC | 10:21 |
| ChrisDruif | It's alright moto_ :) We all were using IRC for the first time one day :) | 10:21 |
| JoeMaverickSett | moto_: no problem. no offence taken. as there are many people here, they could chip in the knowledge to guide you more than my one brain could. ;) | 10:23 |

| kristian-aalborg | hi all | 19:17 |
| kristian-aalborg | when intsalling ubuntu, would DBAN (for instance) be better than the default "format disk"? | 19:18 |
| geirha | dban? | 19:19 |
| starcraftman | kristian-aalborg: Do you have cia secrets to hide? | 19:19 |
| starcraftman | geirha: Derick's Boot and Nuke. | 19:19 |
| starcraftman | kristian-aalborg: if your asking is there any end result difference, no. It's a security thing. DBAN overwrites bits on the disk ensuring you can't recover them. | 19:20 |
| kristian-aalborg | k, I was thinking perhaps the finished installation would run smoother if DBAN was used | 19:21 |
| kristian-aalborg | starcraftman: CIA? Who's asking? :P | 19:22 |
| geirha | Ah, no that wouldn't give you any speed increase | 19:23 |
| starcraftman | kristian-aalborg: thou can never know for positive. | 19:26 |
| kristian-aalborg | so... better to nuke it? | 19:26 |
| starcraftman | kristian-aalborg: lol, no, not unless you do really have secrets. The standard 7pass over the disk takes quite a while to run, writes 7 times to every bit on the drive. | 19:28 |
| kristian-aalborg | ok | 19:29 |
| mslovette | good morning/afternoon/evening as the case may be... I have a question about ubuntu server... anyone have a couple of minutes? | 19:38 |
| geirha | good <one of those>. Just ask away, if somebody knows, they'll answer. | 19:38 |
| mslovette | well.. is a simple one and related to presentation... it has been a very long time since I handled a UNIX command line interface.. is there a means of implementing a GUI on top of the server? | 19:39 |
| geirha | Yes, you can just install gnome or kde or xfce or lxde or whichever you prefer. | 19:40 |
| mslovette | ok... will investigate further. thx | 19:41 |
| geirha | You want to control it graphically, remotely? | 19:41 |
| mslovette | I can run the server from the command line... but I'd like the ability to visit web sites for documentation research | 19:41 |
| drew212 | how do i check what packages a PPA has, preferably using the terminal | 19:43 |
| mslovette | since I hav eretired, I no longer have the lucury of being able to go out and build extra systems that I can 'play with'... so I need to be able to do a great deal of work from one or two systems. | 19:43 |
| geirha | Well, the standard ubuntu desktop uses gnome, so installing that should give you something familiar if you have used ubuntu desktop. | 19:43 |
| geirha | Also, there are text-based browsers, like w3m, lynx, links | 19:44 |
| mslovette | supposing I install Gnome... I'll have all server controls from a terminal window? | 19:44 |
| geirha | drew212: Hm. Should be possible with aptitude, not sure how. The documentation is a bit long, but if you're not afraid of reading, look at /usr/share/doc/aptitude/README | 19:45 |
| duanedesign | hello geirha | 19:46 |
| geirha | mslovette: Yes, you'll be able to do run all the same commands from a terminal as from the console. | 19:46 |
| geirha | *terminal emulator (like gnome-terminal or xterm) | 19:46 |
| geirha | duanedesign: Hi :) | 19:46 |
| drew212 | geirha: thanks, i'm still looking online... there has to be an easy way | 19:47 |
| duanedesign | drew212: in Software Center you can click on a PPA and it will show you the packages available from that PPA | 19:53 |
| drew212 | yeah... thats what i ended up doing... but that's so inefficient =( | 19:53 |
| duanedesign | not sure about the command line...This is kinda interesting, though not exactly what you are looking for. A list of all PPAs on Launchpad http://ppa.launchpad.net/ | 19:54 |
| geirha | aptitude search '~O ppaname' seems to do the trick | 19:56 |
| geirha | ppaname is a regex | 19:56 |
| geirha | aptitude search '~O transmissionbt' gives me all the packages in the transmissionbt PPA at least | 19:57 |
| duanedesign | ahh cool | 19:59 |
| duanedesign | drew212: I found a package called 'PPA Search'. YOu type 'ppasearch APPLICATION' and it searches All PPAs for APPLICATION | 20:01 |
| duanedesign | though geirhas command seems to do the trick | 20:02 |
| Daniel0108 | hi duanedesign ;) | 20:10 |
| duanedesign | hello drew212 | 20:19 |
| duanedesign | oops | 20:19 |

| toshey | hi...I need some help with installing vspace on my system....I get the message: dependacy is not satisfiable:libqt4-qt3support | 20:25 |
| kristian-aalborg | ok, so to remove absolete kernels... I simply do "uname -r", then remove anything else than what I'm shown in synaptic? | 20:40 |
| geirha | kristian-aalborg: A quick and dirty way to get all the installed kernels except the last two, is aptitude search -F %p '~i linux-image-[[:digit:]]' | head -n -2 | 20:43 |
| kristian-aalborg | that exact line? | 20:44 |
| kristian-aalborg | or should "digit" be something else? | 20:45 |
| geirha | read -d '' -a pkgs < <(aptitude search -F %p '~i linux-image-[[:digit:]]' | head -n -2); sudo aptitude remove "${pkgs[@]}" | 20:45 |
| kristian-aalborg | ah bugger, no synaptic... this is lubuntu | 20:45 |
| geirha | kristian-aalborg: [[:digit:]] is a special pattern thingy that means, any one digit | 20:45 |
| geirha | that last command line uses some more advanced bash features | 20:46 |
| geirha | You can install synaptic in lubuntu if you like | 20:47 |

| ChrisDruif | Why? | 21:40 |

| ikt | yep | 21:44 |
| kristian_ | this is nuts... should not happen... I removed my previous install because of a file system error, I'm starting to fear that the hdd is actually borked :( | 21:47 |
| techmik67 | here's my question(s) http://pastebin.com/xp1DxvJt | 21:49 |
| techmik67 | oh, and hi! | 21:49 |
| kristian_ | hi techmik67 | 21:52 |
| techmik67 | as a n00b, the instructions i followed were over my head, but i have an irc channel i hang in for my smartphone that has some smart people in it =) | 21:53 |
| techmik67 | i figure there MUST be a way to be sure i can return to or just boot up an older kernel.... | 21:54 |
| ChrisDruif | techmik67: Let me get this straight...you want to try natty (11.04) already while it's still alpha afaik? | 21:57 |
| techmik67 | i already have done so, several times.... however, i havew NEVER been able to boot an older version once i do so | 21:58 |
| techmik67 | i end up wiping and reinstalling from usb live stick 10.10 | 21:58 |
| techmik67 | the bigger issue is why i want that.... because of the crap i had to go thru to get my usb wifi working | 21:59 |
| techmik67 | iprefer that if i cannot get the usb wifi working in natty, to just boot bak to 10.10 | 22:00 |
| techmik67 | and not have to reformat and start over | 22:00 |
| ChrisDruif | There are a couple of things you could do; easiest would be using a VM. Second you could make sure that grub has a "fail-safe" with a working Ubuntu 10.10. What I would suggest is partitioning :) | 22:01 |
| ChrisDruif | If you don't want VirtualBox ;) | 22:01 |
| techmik67 | i HATE vm's=) | 22:01 |
| bioterror | +1 for your hate | 22:02 |
| ChrisDruif | Alright...I don't need to persuade you to not use VM :D | 22:02 |
| techmik67 | grub fail-safe sounds like what i was looking for... isnt that the point of saving the old headers? | 22:02 |
| ChrisDruif | Yeah... | 22:02 |
| techmik67 | hmmm | 22:02 |
| techmik67 | perhaps i miss a point where it says "xxx will be removed..." when i "apt-get" | 22:03 |
| techmik67 | i actually have 4 versions right now... my usb stick installed from ws 2.6.35-22 | 22:04 |
| ChrisDruif | But I think it would be easier to re-partition your disk...make atleast 3 partitions....2 for about 10 GB and one with the remaining. The last one should be your /home.... | 22:04 |

| techmik67 | i upgraded to 35-24 | 22:04 |
| techmik67 | i see | 22:04 |
| ChrisDruif | Natty is still in high development...you shouldn't run it as your primairy :) | 22:04 |
| techmik67 | i know, i know... =)... i love to tinker tho =) | 22:05 |
| ChrisDruif | Yeah...but make sure you have a bacck-up ready :P | 22:05 |
| techmik67 | and i'm interested to see if the usb wifi install would wqork in natty | 22:05 |
| techmik67 | cause that was challenging, yet satisfying when i got connected at 5Ghz | 22:06 |
| ChrisDruif | :) | 22:06 |
| techmik67 | dancing around screaming "linus WHO?" =) | 22:07 |
| ChrisDruif | And for natty support you could try #ubuntu+1 | 22:07 |
| ChrisDruif | You wanna know why I like Linux? | 22:07 |
| techmik67 | surely | 22:07 |
| ChrisDruif | It sounds like "Lin hugs" and I like hugs :D | 22:08 |

| techmik67 | i guess | 22:12 |
| ChrisDruif | O:-) Indeed it is O:-) | 22:12 |
| techmik67 | i called customer service to complain | 22:13 |
| ChrisDruif | PFHAHAHAHA :P :D LMAO.... | 22:13 |

| ddecator | afternoon all :) | 23:11 |
| kristian_ | hi ddecator | 23:15 |
| ddecator | hey kristian_, how are you? | 23:15 |
| kristian_ | I guess I can remove language-pack-** without much risk? | 23:15 |
| ddecator | if you're not using that language at all, then it should be fine | 23:16 |
| kristian_ | can I still render the occasional webpage using it? | 23:18 |
| kristian_ | also, it's weird that these packs not went away the first time I ran localepurge | 23:19 |
| ddecator | i think webpages should still load fine assuming the characters/fonts are still on the system. the language packs are more for labeling menus, applications, spellcheck, etc. | 23:20 |
| kristian_ | it's weird that it's still there when I have localepurge installed | 23:29 |
| kristian_ | also, if some program needs one of those packs, will it be installed? | 23:29 |
| aveilleux | kristian_: If a language pack is required by a program then it will be installed as a dependency. | 23:29 |
| kristian_ | good | 23:30 |
| kristian_ | hi aveilleux | 23:30 |
| yax51 | Hello, Does anyone know anything about running internet explorer in maverick? | 23:30 |
| aveilleux | yax51: Doesn't work very well... version 5.1 is the latest one that works correctly | 23:30 |
| ddecator | last i look ie4linux wasn't really being maintained | 23:31 |
| ddecator | s/look/looked | 23:31 |
| aveilleux | It's not | 23:31 |
| yax51 | aveilleux: thanks....although I need 6.0 or higher for work..... | 23:32 |
| aveilleux | yax51: Virtualize it. That's what I do for work. | 23:32 |
| aveilleux | yax51: Windows 2000 is upgradable to 6, and XP comes with it | 23:32 |
| aveilleux | 6.1* | 23:32 |
| yax51 | aaah so I need to run a V of windows, then use ie6.... | 23:33 |
| yax51 | *vb | 23:33 |
| aveilleux | yax51: Unfortunately yes | 23:34 |
| yax51 | aveilleux: what if I don' have that option, or no windows install disks? | 23:34 |
| holstein | i never had great luck with wine | 23:36 |
| aveilleux | yax51: PM with me for a minute | 23:36 |
| yax51 | wine serves it purpose, but I've never had much luck with it either | 23:51 |
| aveilleux | holstein: I've had quite a bit of luck with WINE, actually | 23:51 |
| holstein | aveilleux: i can get it to run | 23:52 |
| holstein | but doing the things that i actually need IE for | 23:52 |
| holstein | not usually :/ | 23:52 |
| ZeRoDeAtH50435 | My dvd drive isnt working any more how do I check to see what is wrong | 23:54 |
| ddecator | ZeRoDeAtH50435: could you be more specific? does your computer not see that there is a disc in there? does it not play the disc? | 23:56 |
| ZeRoDeAtH50435 | it doesnt see their is a disk their | 23:56 |
| ddecator | have you tried multiple discs? it isn't just a scratched disc that it can't read? | 23:57 |
| ZeRoDeAtH50435 | yes | 23:57 |
| ddecator | and it was working before? | 23:58 |
| ZeRoDeAtH50435 | trying a game dvd that worked the other day, blank cd, music cd doesnt detect | 23:58 |
| ddecator | have you installed any updates since then? | 23:58 |
| ZeRoDeAtH50435 | no | 23:59 |
| aveilleux | ZeRoDeAtH50435: Your drive could be going bad. | 23:59 |
| ZeRoDeAtH50435 | im going to try one thing brb | 23:59 |
