| s-fox | Hello. | 00:19 |
|---|---|---|
| maheanuu | I am having a problem with the Document Viewer. No matter what I try to open the Doc Viewer pops up a | 02:21 |
| maheanuu | I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and this started just a couple of days ago. I cannot find any way to return to any other viewer | 02:23 |
| aveilleux | maheanuu: So evince is opening *every* file? | 02:25 |
| aveilleux | maheanuu: Or attempting to open | 02:25 |
| maheanuu | It doesn't matter if I am trying to look at files on an ext hard disc yes apparently no matter what i try | 02:25 |
| maheanuu | Yes, and I end up with nothing working | 02:25 |
| aveilleux | maheanuu: You can try uninstalling it, if you don't need a PDF reader | 02:26 |
| maheanuu | exactly aveilleux | 02:26 |
| maheanuu | I have a pdf reader on my firefox, so don't need the Document reader at all, but I cannot seem to find a way to uninstall the dam thingh | 02:27 |
| aveilleux | maheanuu: From Terminal: sudo apt-get remove evince | 02:27 |
| maheanuu | Thanx aveilleux, that did everything I wanted.... I looked and looked and begged and asked with no joy... you have been the biggest help I have found | 02:31 |
| aveilleux | maheanuu: No problem \o/ | 02:31 |
| maheanuu | How did it appear all of a sudden? That is the question I would like to have answered | 02:32 |
| trinikrono | does that happen with evince regularly? | 02:34 |
| aveilleux | maheanuu: I've never encountered a problem like that before. | 02:35 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi all | 03:21 |
| kristian-aalborg | giving the expert mode install a try ;) | 03:21 |
| kristian-aalborg | as I need *not* to have grub written at the end | 03:21 |

| kristian-aalborg | holstein: when installing to cf/sd, do you get everything right from the start or tweak things later? | 04:12 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: i have only installed to SD card | 04:12 |
| kristian-aalborg | I tried making an install with only / but it failed me | 04:12 |
| holstein | and it seems just like normal | 04:12 |
| holstein | except for GRUB | 04:12 |
| holstein | i like to install grub to the SD card | 04:13 |
| kristian-aalborg | what kind of machine do you have it on? | 04:13 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: i have an old EEE900 | 04:13 |
| holstein | thats what i did the install on | 04:14 |
| kristian-aalborg | ah, I was fighting an Eee 2g surf recently | 04:14 |
| holstein | but, the SD card has booted on several other machines | 04:14 |
| holstein | an eee1001p | 04:14 |
| holstein | and an hpmininote 2133 | 04:14 |
| kristian-aalborg | what file system do you use? | 04:14 |
| holstein | usually just ext4 | 04:14 |
| holstein | BUT, sometimes i do an ext2 with no swap | 04:15 |
| holstein | ^ thats probably what you should do | 04:15 |
| kristian-aalborg | I'm thinking of getting an IDE adapter | 04:15 |
| holstein | and you'll have more space on the SD without swap | 04:15 |
| kristian-aalborg | yeah, swap is not good for sdhc it seems | 04:15 |
| holstein | hardly ever got used anyways | 04:16 |
| holstein | *swap | 04:16 |
| holstein | but, yeah, ext2 without swap is the way to go | 04:16 |
| holstein | til btrfs gets straight | 04:16 |
| holstein | i did a btrfs install | 04:16 |
| holstein | took 4 EVER | 04:16 |
| kristian-aalborg | there was another flash file system, but it seems abandoned | 04:17 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: i wouldnt lose sleep over it | 04:17 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: if i were you | 04:18 |
| holstein | i would probably try to get a machine | 04:18 |
| holstein | with no other HD's in it | 04:18 |
| holstein | try installing to that CF drive in the pcmcia thingy | 04:19 |
| holstein | and get it booting | 04:19 |
| kristian-aalborg | none of my machines can boot from it | 04:19 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: AH | 04:19 |
| holstein | theres the problem then | 04:19 |
| holstein | now i remember | 04:19 |
| holstein | you'll have to do something complicated i bet | 04:19 |
| kristian-aalborg | the oldest one (surprisingly) sees it sometime before grub | 04:19 |
| holstein | to get that pcmcia loaded | 04:20 |
| holstein | and readable | 04:20 |
| holstein | AND a bootloader | 04:20 |
| kristian-aalborg | with a bit of luck, I just have to move it to that machine, then update grub | 04:20 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: you might want to check out some other boot loaders | 04:20 |
| holstein | i have no suggestions though ;) | 04:21 |
| kristian-aalborg | it's okay, worst case scenario is that I just keep running from hdd | 04:22 |
| kristian-aalborg | I fear there might be a bottleneck also... the pcmcia could well be so slow that the advantages of CF are lost | 04:22 |
| holstein | should be fine | 04:23 |
| ubuntu_ | Anybody know how long it takes to resize a swap partition on an external USB hard drive? | 04:48 |
| holstein | ubuntu_: have you already started? | 04:49 |
| holstein | well, im heading out | 04:50 |
| ubuntu_ | It's been taking forevor. I don't know if I should stop it or start again. | 04:50 |
| holstein | but, i was going to try and talk you out of it | 04:50 |
| holstein | could take a while i suppose | 04:50 |
| holstein | depends really | 04:50 |
| ubuntu_ | do you have any experience in that? | 04:51 |
| holstein | not a swap partition | 04:51 |
| ubuntu_ | I'm trying to put linux on an external | 04:51 |
| holstein | ubuntu_: are you 30 minutes in? | 04:51 |
| ubuntu_ | 2 hours in | 04:51 |
| holstein | hmmm | 04:51 |
| holstein | well, i guess you could sleep on it | 04:52 |
| holstein | and see if its done the the AM | 04:52 |
| ubuntu_ | true | 04:52 |
| ubuntu_ | oh well, thank you anyways. | 04:52 |
| holstein | maybe someone else will know | 04:52 |
| holstein | i say, dont bother | 04:52 |
| holstein | anyways.. good luck | 04:53 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks | 04:53 |
| yuler | how do I connect to facebook through nautilus? Supposedly, one can add photos this way. | 10:47 |
| bioterror | no you dont | 10:51 |
| bioterror | nautilus is a file manager, facebook is a web page | 10:51 |
| bioterror | oh look | 10:52 |
| bioterror | http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/nautilus-facebook-image-uploader-script/ google gave something like this | 10:52 |
| s-fox | Hello. | 10:56 |
| yuler | Yes, bioterror, but Nautilus can connect to a remote server. My question is if it can connect to Facebook. | 11:05 |

| kristian-aalborg | holstein: yo | 15:23 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: o/ | 15:25 |
| kristian-aalborg | so, I managed to put debian on the CF card.... grub is acting up, though | 15:25 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: is it booting the OS on the CF card? | 15:28 |
| kristian-aalborg | nope | 15:31 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein: the errors I get suggest the BIOS is not up to it | 16:12 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: yeah? | 16:12 |
| kristian-aalborg | which makes sense, given the age of it | 16:12 |
| holstein | i suppose you could flash it | 16:12 |
| holstein | i went all around town a couple years ago trying to find floppy discs to flash a bios | 16:13 |
| kristian-aalborg | this baby will flash from cd | 16:18 |
| holstein | cool | 16:19 |
| kristian-aalborg | but I think it's just too old perhaps... 1997 is a long time ago for some things :) | 16:19 |

| bdfhjk | Hi! | 20:26 |
| bdfhjk | Please look at this bug | 20:27 |
| bdfhjk | https://bugs.launchpad.net/clicompanion/+bug/691515 | 20:27 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 691515 in clicompanion "setting language only works for utf8" [Undecided,New] | 20:27 |
| bdfhjk | It is invalid? | 20:27 |
| bdfhjk | any comments? | 20:28 |
| charlie-tca | looks valid. Can you reproduce it? That is a good starting point to triage a bug, attempt to reproduce it your self. | 20:36 |
| charlie-tca | You should always be able to use language settings other than utf8 for applications | 20:37 |
| bdfhjk | hm... | 20:38 |
| bdfhjk | I can do that do who report bug | 20:38 |
| bdfhjk | And then not working | 20:38 |
| bdfhjk | But | 20:38 |
| bdfhjk | I not sure that | 20:38 |
| bdfhjk | LANG=nl_NL | 20:38 |
| bdfhjk | is vaild | 20:38 |
| charlie-tca | Yes, it is | 20:39 |
| bdfhjk | So what may cause that bug? | 20:39 |
| charlie-tca | It installs for Netherlands | 20:39 |
| true2self | hello | 20:39 |
| bdfhjk | true2self: hello | 20:39 |
| charlie-tca | I don't fix bugs, I only triage them. Developers fix them, which is very different. I don't need to know how to fix a bug to know it is valid. | 20:39 |
| bdfhjk | I concerned about ''' (process:29197): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. ''' | 20:42 |
| true2self | bdfhjk: are you asking how to file a bug report? | 20:42 |
| bdfhjk | true2self: I asking about what may cause bug, I am working at path | 20:43 |
| true2self | ok | 20:43 |
| bdfhjk | maybe this bug is related to GTK, not CLI Companion | 20:44 |
| bdfhjk | anyway thanks charlie-tca for help | 20:47 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 20:47 |
| bdfhjk | :-) | 20:48 |
| Cheri703 | I have a computer running 10.10, and the fonts (in applications and menus and everything) are weird. Like they're missing a row of pixels or something. I don't know how to describe it. it's like they're not fully rendered or something. I tried messing with it in the fonts tab under appearances, but no real change | 20:48 |
| bdfhjk | Cheri703: I have the same issue on 11.04 | 20:49 |
| bdfhjk | Do You use notebook/netbook ? | 20:49 |
| Cheri703 | any solution? it's really annoying | 20:49 |
| Cheri703 | it's on a desktop | 20:49 |
| bdfhjk | What is your screen resolution? | 20:49 |
| Cheri703 | 1280x768 | 20:50 |
| Cheri703 | ha | 20:50 |
| Cheri703 | just changed it | 20:50 |
| Cheri703 | previously it wasn't giving me many options for resolution | 20:50 |
| Cheri703 | I changed it to 1280x800 and it's happier | 20:51 |
| Cheri703 | thanks :) | 20:51 |
| charlie-tca | There is an option for anti-aliasing fonts that also helps with that | 20:51 |
| bdfhjk | I have worst situation | 20:51 |
| bdfhjk | in my netbook only resolution, with I can use, is 1024x600 | 20:52 |
| bdfhjk | charlie-tca: do You remember where it is? | 20:52 |
| charlie-tca | I don't. I use Xubuntu, and it is under my appearance settings | 20:52 |
| Cheri703 | charlie-tca: that didn't help mine, bdfhjk system > preferences > appearance > Fonts | 20:59 |
| bdfhjk | thx | 21:00 |
| charlie-tca | It doesn't always, sometimes it really is dependent on the the lcd itself. bdfhjk might benefit when natty releases, since it is more tuned to those smaller screens | 21:01 |
| charlie-tca | sometimes changing fonts also will help make the letters more clear. | 21:02 |
| charlie-tca | Droid is supposed to be pretty good | 21:02 |
| MrChrisDruif | Does anybody know if sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-dx-team/une sudo && apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unity is the official ppa install for Unity in Maverick? | 21:34 |
| aveilleux | MrChrisDruif: Unity is in the default repositories... | 21:35 |
| MrChrisDruif | I'll check aveilleux :) | 21:35 |
| MrChrisDruif | Thanks aveilleux :) | 21:45 |
| aveilleux | MrChrisDruif: You're welcome | 21:45 |
| bdfhjk | If I plan to create program for ubuntu, can I use qt ? | 21:54 |
| aveilleux | bdfhjk: I don't see why not | 22:02 |
| bdfhjk | It can be later added by MOTU to standard, ubuntu (gnome) repository | 22:03 |
| bdfhjk | The most applications using gtk | 22:03 |
| aveilleux | bdfhjk: Just because a program is written in Qt doesn't exclude it from being included in the repository | 22:20 |
| bdfhjk | ok | 22:21 |
| bdfhjk | thanks again :-) | 22:21 |
| aveilleux | bdfhjk: VLC is written in Qt | 22:21 |
| javierbravoconde | hi there | 22:42 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hai javierbravoconde | 22:43 |
