[00:19] <s-fox> Hello.
[02:21] <maheanuu> I am having a problem with the Document Viewer. No matter what I try to open the Doc Viewer pops up a
[02:23] <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
[02:25] <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
[02:26] <aveilleux> maheanuu: You can try uninstalling it, if you don't need a PDF reader
[02:26] <maheanuu> exactly aveilleux
[02:27] <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
[02:31] <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/
[02:32] <maheanuu> How did it appear all of a sudden?  That is the question I would like to have answered
[02:34] <trinikrono> does that happen with evince regularly?
[02:35] <aveilleux> maheanuu: I've never encountered a problem like that before.
[03:21] <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
[04:12] <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
[04:13] <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
[04:14] <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
[04:15] <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
[04:16] <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
[04:17] <kristian-aalborg> there was another flash file system, but it seems abandoned
[04:17] <holstein> kristian-aalborg: i wouldnt lose sleep over it
[04:18] <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
[04:19] <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
[04:20] <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
[04:21] <holstein> i have no suggestions though ;)
[04:22] <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
[04:23] <holstein> should be fine
[04:48] <ubuntu_> Anybody know how long it takes to resize a swap partition on an external USB hard drive?
[04:49] <holstein> ubuntu_: have you already started?
[04:50] <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
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <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
[04:53] <holstein> anyways.. good luck
[04:53] <ubuntu_> thanks
[10:47] <yuler> how do I connect to facebook through nautilus?  Supposedly, one can add photos this way.
[10:51] <bioterror> no you dont
[10:51] <bioterror> nautilus is a file manager, facebook is a web page
[10:52] <bioterror> oh look
[10:52] <bioterror> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/nautilus-facebook-image-uploader-script/ google gave something like this
[10:56] <s-fox> Hello.
[11:05] <yuler> Yes, bioterror, but Nautilus can connect to a remote server.  My question is if it can connect to Facebook.
[12:15] <JackyAlcine> o/
[12:20] <s-fox> \o
[15:23] <kristian-aalborg> holstein: yo
[15:25] <holstein> kristian-aalborg: o/
[15:25] <kristian-aalborg> so, I managed to put debian on the CF card.... grub is  acting up, though
[15:28] <holstein> kristian-aalborg: is it booting the OS on the CF card?
[15:31] <kristian-aalborg> nope
[16:12] <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
[16:13] <holstein> i went all around town a couple years ago trying to find floppy discs to flash a bios
[16:18] <kristian-aalborg> this baby will flash from cd
[16:19] <holstein> cool
[16:19] <kristian-aalborg> but I think it's just too old perhaps... 1997 is a long time ago for some things :)
[16:38] <simar> hello everyone...
[16:40] <s-fox> Hello.
[19:57] <melsaswah> hey every one
[19:57] <melsaswah> i need some help on installing ubuntu
[19:58] <melsaswah> i can't get the cd to launch
[20:26] <bdfhjk> Hi!
[20:27] <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?
[20:28] <bdfhjk> any comments?
[20:36] <charlie-tca> looks valid. Can you reproduce it? That is a good starting point to triage a bug, attempt to reproduce it your self.
[20:37] <charlie-tca> You should always be able to use language settings other than utf8 for applications
[20:38] <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
[20:39] <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.
[20:42] <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?
[20:43] <bdfhjk> true2self: I asking about what may cause bug, I am working at path
[20:43] <true2self> ok
[20:44] <bdfhjk> maybe this bug is related to GTK, not CLI Companion
[20:47] <bdfhjk> anyway thanks charlie-tca for help
[20:47] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[20:48] <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
[20:49] <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?
[20:50] <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
[20:51] <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
[20:52] <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
[20:59] <Cheri703> charlie-tca: that didn't help mine, bdfhjk system > preferences > appearance > Fonts
[21:00] <bdfhjk> thx
[21:01] <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
[21:02] <charlie-tca> sometimes changing fonts also will help make the letters more clear.
[21:02] <charlie-tca> Droid is supposed to be pretty good
[21:34] <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?
[21:35] <aveilleux> MrChrisDruif: Unity is in the default repositories...
[21:35] <MrChrisDruif> I'll check aveilleux :)
[21:45] <MrChrisDruif> Thanks aveilleux :)
[21:45] <aveilleux> MrChrisDruif: You're welcome
[21:54] <bdfhjk> If I plan to create program for ubuntu, can I use qt ?
[22:02] <aveilleux> bdfhjk: I don't see why not
[22:03] <bdfhjk> It can be later added by MOTU to standard, ubuntu (gnome) repository
[22:03] <bdfhjk> The most applications using gtk
[22:20] <aveilleux> bdfhjk: Just because a program is written in Qt doesn't exclude it from being included in the repository
[22:21] <bdfhjk> ok
[22:21] <bdfhjk> thanks again :-)
[22:21] <aveilleux> bdfhjk: VLC is written in Qt
[22:42] <javierbravoconde> hi there
[22:43] <MrChrisDruif> Hai javierbravoconde
[22:43] <javierbravoconde> does anybody knows how to check if your IRC nick is registered?
[22:44] <javierbravoconde> i've tried to follow the official step by step but looks a bit complicated
