[00:19] Hello. [02:21] I am having a problem with the Document Viewer. No matter what I try to open the Doc Viewer pops up a [02:23] 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 [02:25] maheanuu: So evince is opening *every* file? [02:25] maheanuu: Or attempting to open [02:25] 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] Yes, and I end up with nothing working [02:26] maheanuu: You can try uninstalling it, if you don't need a PDF reader [02:26] exactly aveilleux [02:27] 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] maheanuu: From Terminal: sudo apt-get remove evince [02:31] 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] maheanuu: No problem \o/ [02:32] How did it appear all of a sudden? That is the question I would like to have answered [02:34] does that happen with evince regularly? [02:35] maheanuu: I've never encountered a problem like that before. [03:21] hi all [03:21] giving the expert mode install a try ;) [03:21] as I need *not* to have grub written at the end === IdleOne is now known as MaverickOne === MaverickOne is now known as IdleOne [04:12] holstein: when installing to cf/sd, do you get everything right from the start or tweak things later? [04:12] kristian-aalborg: i have only installed to SD card [04:12] I tried making an install with only / but it failed me [04:12] and it seems just like normal [04:12] except for GRUB [04:13] i like to install grub to the SD card [04:13] what kind of machine do you have it on? [04:13] kristian-aalborg: i have an old EEE900 [04:14] thats what i did the install on [04:14] ah, I was fighting an Eee 2g surf recently [04:14] but, the SD card has booted on several other machines [04:14] an eee1001p [04:14] and an hpmininote 2133 [04:14] what file system do you use? [04:14] usually just ext4 [04:15] BUT, sometimes i do an ext2 with no swap [04:15] ^ thats probably what you should do [04:15] I'm thinking of getting an IDE adapter [04:15] and you'll have more space on the SD without swap [04:15] yeah, swap is not good for sdhc it seems [04:16] hardly ever got used anyways [04:16] *swap [04:16] but, yeah, ext2 without swap is the way to go [04:16] til btrfs gets straight [04:16] i did a btrfs install [04:16] took 4 EVER [04:17] there was another flash file system, but it seems abandoned [04:17] kristian-aalborg: i wouldnt lose sleep over it [04:18] kristian-aalborg: if i were you [04:18] i would probably try to get a machine [04:18] with no other HD's in it [04:19] try installing to that CF drive in the pcmcia thingy [04:19] and get it booting [04:19] none of my machines can boot from it [04:19] kristian-aalborg: AH [04:19] theres the problem then [04:19] now i remember [04:19] you'll have to do something complicated i bet [04:19] the oldest one (surprisingly) sees it sometime before grub [04:20] to get that pcmcia loaded [04:20] and readable [04:20] AND a bootloader [04:20] with a bit of luck, I just have to move it to that machine, then update grub [04:20] kristian-aalborg: you might want to check out some other boot loaders [04:21] i have no suggestions though ;) [04:22] it's okay, worst case scenario is that I just keep running from hdd [04:22] I fear there might be a bottleneck also... the pcmcia could well be so slow that the advantages of CF are lost [04:23] should be fine [04:48] Anybody know how long it takes to resize a swap partition on an external USB hard drive? [04:49] ubuntu_: have you already started? [04:50] well, im heading out [04:50] It's been taking forevor. I don't know if I should stop it or start again. [04:50] but, i was going to try and talk you out of it [04:50] could take a while i suppose [04:50] depends really [04:51] do you have any experience in that? [04:51] not a swap partition [04:51] I'm trying to put linux on an external [04:51] ubuntu_: are you 30 minutes in? [04:51] 2 hours in [04:51] hmmm [04:52] well, i guess you could sleep on it [04:52] and see if its done the the AM [04:52] true [04:52] oh well, thank you anyways. [04:52] maybe someone else will know [04:52] i say, dont bother [04:53] anyways.. good luck [04:53] thanks [10:47] how do I connect to facebook through nautilus? Supposedly, one can add photos this way. [10:51] no you dont [10:51] nautilus is a file manager, facebook is a web page [10:52] oh look [10:52] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/nautilus-facebook-image-uploader-script/ google gave something like this [10:56] Hello. [11:05] Yes, bioterror, but Nautilus can connect to a remote server. My question is if it can connect to Facebook. === Vetinari is now known as lukjad === yofel_ is now known as yofel [12:15] o/ [12:20] \o [15:23] holstein: yo [15:25] kristian-aalborg: o/ [15:25] so, I managed to put debian on the CF card.... grub is acting up, though [15:28] kristian-aalborg: is it booting the OS on the CF card? [15:31] nope [16:12] holstein: the errors I get suggest the BIOS is not up to it [16:12] kristian-aalborg: yeah? [16:12] which makes sense, given the age of it [16:12] i suppose you could flash it [16:13] i went all around town a couple years ago trying to find floppy discs to flash a bios [16:18] this baby will flash from cd [16:19] cool [16:19] but I think it's just too old perhaps... 1997 is a long time ago for some things :) === bodhizazen_ is now known as bodhi_zazen [16:38] hello everyone... [16:40] Hello. === Vetinari is now known as lukjad === pedro__ is now known as pedro3005 [19:57] hey every one [19:57] i need some help on installing ubuntu [19:58] i can't get the cd to launch [20:26] Hi! [20:27] Please look at this bug [20:27] https://bugs.launchpad.net/clicompanion/+bug/691515 [20:27] Launchpad bug 691515 in clicompanion "setting language only works for utf8" [Undecided,New] [20:27] It is invalid? [20:28] any comments? [20:36] looks valid. Can you reproduce it? That is a good starting point to triage a bug, attempt to reproduce it your self. [20:37] You should always be able to use language settings other than utf8 for applications [20:38] hm... [20:38] I can do that do who report bug [20:38] And then not working [20:38] But [20:38] I not sure that [20:38] LANG=nl_NL [20:38] is vaild [20:39] Yes, it is [20:39] So what may cause that bug? [20:39] It installs for Netherlands [20:39] hello [20:39] true2self: hello [20:39] 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. [20:42] I concerned about ''' (process:29197): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. ''' [20:42] bdfhjk: are you asking how to file a bug report? [20:43] true2self: I asking about what may cause bug, I am working at path [20:43] ok [20:44] maybe this bug is related to GTK, not CLI Companion [20:47] anyway thanks charlie-tca for help [20:47] You are welcome [20:48] :-) [20:48] 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 [20:49] Cheri703: I have the same issue on 11.04 [20:49] Do You use notebook/netbook ? [20:49] any solution? it's really annoying [20:49] it's on a desktop [20:49] What is your screen resolution? [20:50] 1280x768 [20:50] ha [20:50] just changed it [20:50] previously it wasn't giving me many options for resolution [20:51] I changed it to 1280x800 and it's happier [20:51] thanks :) [20:51] There is an option for anti-aliasing fonts that also helps with that [20:51] I have worst situation [20:52] in my netbook only resolution, with I can use, is 1024x600 [20:52] charlie-tca: do You remember where it is? [20:52] I don't. I use Xubuntu, and it is under my appearance settings [20:59] charlie-tca: that didn't help mine, bdfhjk system > preferences > appearance > Fonts [21:00] thx [21:01] 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 [21:02] sometimes changing fonts also will help make the letters more clear. [21:02] Droid is supposed to be pretty good [21:34] 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? [21:35] MrChrisDruif: Unity is in the default repositories... [21:35] I'll check aveilleux :) [21:45] Thanks aveilleux :) [21:45] MrChrisDruif: You're welcome [21:54] If I plan to create program for ubuntu, can I use qt ? [22:02] bdfhjk: I don't see why not [22:03] It can be later added by MOTU to standard, ubuntu (gnome) repository [22:03] The most applications using gtk [22:20] bdfhjk: Just because a program is written in Qt doesn't exclude it from being included in the repository [22:21] ok [22:21] thanks again :-) [22:21] bdfhjk: VLC is written in Qt [22:42] hi there [22:43] Hai javierbravoconde [22:43] does anybody knows how to check if your IRC nick is registered? [22:44] i've tried to follow the official step by step but looks a bit complicated [22:44] http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [22:44] (i'm using pidgin btw) [22:46] :)
