| mar7ar | hi everybody | 03:16 |
| zenrox | hello | 03:16 |
| mar7ar | i have a big problem | 03:17 |
| zenrox | shure ask away | 03:17 |
| mar7ar | i`have typed by error apt-get remove libusb* | 03:18 |
| mar7ar | then every thing is gone | 03:18 |
| zenrox | then type sudo apt-get install libusb* | 03:19 |
| zenrox | or do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 03:19 |
| zenrox | last one is better | 03:19 |
| mar7ar | the problem is that all dependant drivers are gone | 03:20 |
| mar7ar | even cd driver | 03:20 |
| zenrox | ubuntu-desktop is a package that will get all the packages you had when you first got it installed | 03:21 |
| mar7ar | but could this result to loosing my other installed package | 03:22 |
| mar7ar | ? | 03:22 |
| zenrox | posabley | 03:23 |
| mar7ar | ah i`have forgotten to mention it | 03:23 |
| mar7ar | internet driver is ruined | 03:24 |
| mar7ar | deleted | 03:24 |
| zenrox | then time to reinstall | 03:24 |
| mar7ar | there is also a command called apt-cdrom that add the cd package to sourcelist | 03:25 |
| zenrox | ya you can do that you could just reinstall on top with out formating the drives | 03:26 |
| mar7ar | but how | 03:27 |
| zenrox | crap i dont rember how | 03:27 |
| zenrox | but you could ask in #ubuntu | 03:27 |
| mar7ar | logically it must have such solution | 03:28 |
| mar7ar | like in windows | 03:28 |
| zenrox | yep | 03:30 |
| zenrox | it does | 03:30 |
| zenrox | i just dont rember it | 03:30 |
| mar7ar | thx | 03:32 |
| zenrox | n/p | 03:33 |
| mar7ar | by the way how could someone dill with this big number of users in ubuntu channel | 03:35 |
| zenrox | dill? | 03:35 |
| mar7ar | there are over 1500 users | 03:35 |
| mar7ar | deal | 03:35 |
| zenrox | ya that is normal if some one says thay can help you tell them to msg you so you can have a 1 on 1 so to speek | 03:36 |
| mar7ar | i mean | 03:36 |

| FTMichael | Anyone updated by running update-manager -d and definitely got the final release, not the beta? | 14:25 |
| Pici | FTMichael: oneiric isn't available anywhere yet, so you should still get natty. | 14:26 |
| FTMichael | :P I meant Natty | 14:26 |
| Pici | Well the -d switch is for upgrading to the development release. | 14:26 |
| FTMichael | But just running update-manager doesn't tell me Natty's available | 14:27 |
| Pici | Make sure that you don't have it set to notify you for LTS releases only. | 14:27 |
| FTMichael | Just retried - it's there now. :) | 14:27 |
| tim__ | hiya! anyone who could point me in a good direction to solve the trackpad problem with an hp mini 210? can't use two fingers due to jumpy pointer (aka no selecting anything with trackpad, no dragging, no fun) | 15:56 |
| tim__ | using google is just too confusing with this, ive tried synaptics and all that but still no good solution found | 15:56 |
| zenrox | search ubuntuforums.org | 15:58 |
| tim__ | done that, there's a few solutions on there but nothing seems to work. and now with 11.04 most issues have been dealth with except for that one, so i thought maybe new solutions would've popped up already. | 16:02 |
| tim__ | will look further, thanks though | 16:04 |

| FTMichael | Unity question - my messaging menu doesn't have anything in it but 'Mail' (Evolution) and Ubuntu One. I want to add Pidgin but can't figure out how. | 18:22 |
| zenrox | FTMichael, install pidgin | 18:25 |
| FTMichael | I already have Pidgin. | 18:25 |
| zenrox | or make shure you have some of the other addons for pidgin | 18:25 |
| FTMichael | Which addon do I need to make it work? :P | 18:26 |
| zenrox | let me look | 18:26 |
| zenrox | did it install pidgin-libnotify | 18:27 |
| FTMichael | It certainly should have done. I've had Pidgin for ages. Let me look | 18:27 |
| FTMichael | wtf, no, libnotify isn't there. one sec | 18:27 |
| FTMichael | installed. Should I restart Pidgin? Restart Unity? | 18:28 |
| zenrox | restart pidgin | 18:28 |
| FTMichael | right-o | 18:28 |
| zenrox | so?? | 18:29 |
| FTMichael | Nope. | 18:29 |
| zenrox | ok just log out log back it | 18:29 |
| zenrox | in | 18:29 |
| FTMichael | okay | 18:30 |
| zenrox | that might fix it cause its listed in mine | 18:30 |
| FTMichael | nope. | 18:31 |
| zenrox | hmm | 18:31 |
| FTMichael | now it has Mail, Compose New Message, and Contacts. | 18:31 |
| zenrox | it is listed in mime bolth in unity and xubuntu | 18:31 |
| FTMichael | all of which are Evolution | 18:31 |
| zenrox | i even have xchat listed thare | 18:32 |
| FTMichael | :-/ | 18:32 |
| FTMichael | Got Gmail Notifier to show up there, which is something | 18:34 |
| zenrox | i have gwibber (listed as brodcast) | 18:35 |
| zenrox | and the evo crap | 18:35 |
| FTMichael | I don't have Gwibber installed which I presume is why it's not listed there either | 18:36 |
| zenrox | welp i am outie gota take the wife to her school | 18:38 |
| FTMichael | have fun | 18:39 |
| FTMichael | thanks for the help | 18:39 |

| mmiller235 | Does anyone know why the ubuntu theme engine crashes whenever gnome OR unity runs in virtualbox? | 22:20 |
| Joeb454 | mmiller235: probably the virtualbox graphics drivers, at a guess | 22:48 |
| Joeb454 | more than that I'd have no idea | 22:48 |
| mmiller235 | Joeb454 okay I disabled those and it sort of works except that the drop shadows are all blotchy | 22:50 |
| mmiller235 | also all audio is running at double speed | 22:50 |
| Joeb454 | mmiller235: not sure about the audio, but this might help for your graphics | 22:50 |
| Joeb454 | http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2011/04/21/ubuntu-natty-in-virtualbox-with-unity/ | 22:50 |
| mmiller235 | Joeb454 would you happen to know how to uninstall the regular guest additions | 22:53 |
| mmiller235 | Joeb454 apparently according to that link you gave me, the regular guest additions suck and fail at life | 22:53 |
| Joeb454 | I would not have the faintest of ideas, unless they are removable via apt, sorry | 22:54 |
| mmiller235 | Joeb454 are the ose additions available in apt? | 22:56 |
| Joeb454 | mmiller235: try running apt-cache search virtualbox-ose | 22:59 |
| mmiller235 | found it | 23:00 |
| mmiller235 | Joeb454 okay, I tried what that article said and the only difference is, now the theme engine is craashing on a system running the open source edition guest additions | 23:09 |
| Joeb454 | >.< Sorry mmiller235, that's the only guess I could take at why it might not be working | 23:09 |
| mmiller235 | i know, thanks for trying | 23:09 |
| mmiller235 | what really pisses me off is, ubuntu has NEVER worked in virtualbox for me | 23:10 |
| Joeb454 | it's worked for me plenty of times, but I never need to run compiz in a virtual machine, so maybe that's why | 23:10 |
| Joeb454 | compiz is required to run Unity, which makes it more difficult for VM's | 23:10 |
| mmiller235 | Joeb454 it happens even when I disable all the 3d effects | 23:10 |
| mmiller235 | it happens in gnome classic as well | 23:10 |
| Joeb454 | yeah ok, that is odd | 23:10 |
| Joeb454 | not sure why that would be | 23:10 |
| mmiller235 | no matter what, as soon as either gnome or unity launches, it switches to "ugly" mode within a minute | 23:11 |
| mmiller235 | I give up | 23:13 |
| mmiller235 | virtualbox is hopeless | 23:14 |
| mmiller235 | it used to be good back when innotek owned the project | 23:14 |
| Joeb454 | I only really use it to host server versions of ubuntu for development, so it's not too bad for me | 23:15 |
| Joeb454 | I agree though, it does frustrate me a lot when I'm trying to use it with a desktop version | 23:16 |
| mmiller235 | I could understand if it didn't work with the 3d stuff, but it isn't even working properly with the 2d stuff | 23:16 |
| mmiller235 | its become a complete joke | 23:16 |
| mmiller235 | the problem is, Parallels (which DOES support 3D in ubuntu guests) won't have support for 11.04 for a few months | 23:17 |
