| sidd1317 | I've got a computer running off of a bootable ubuntu 11.04 disc. It's to scratched to install from. | 02:18 |
|---|---|---|
| sidd1317 | However, I have a flash drive with the same iso burned onto it, bootable. My motherboard doesn't support booting from it, though. | 02:18 |
| sidd1317 | I've no new cd-r's to write a fresh install onto, so I'm left with only one option. I can't figure out how to do it. How can I read/install from the 11.04 flash drive, while running from the cd? | 02:19 |
| pleia2 | sidd1317: unfortunately you have to boot from the usb drive, do you have a friend or neighbor who can burn the iso for you? | 02:20 |
| sidd1317 | No, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get my hands on a fresh disc. | 02:20 |
| pleia2 | does the machine have a floppy drive? | 02:21 |
| sidd1317 | Yes, first I've seen in years. No floppies on hand, though. | 02:21 |
| pleia2 | ah ok | 02:21 |
| sidd1317 | I can't install from the usb iso while running of the cd, then? | 02:22 |
| pleia2 | not that I'm aware of | 02:22 |
| sidd1317 | Well, thanks for the help anyhow | 02:23 |

| s-fox | Hello coalwater . Congratulations on joining the team. | 10:09 |
| coalwater | thanks :D | 10:09 |
| tdn | What to do in order to make Sun Java work in Firefox/Opera, etc? I need this to use online bank. | 10:39 |
| coalwater | u mean the java plugin right? | 10:39 |
| coalwater | for applets? | 10:39 |
| tdn | Correct | 10:39 |
| coalwater | ok | 10:39 |
| coalwater | give me a sec | 10:39 |
| tdn | I'll give you two :) | 10:39 |
| coalwater | did u install java? | 10:40 |
| tdn | Yes. | 10:40 |
| tdn | coalwater, http://paste.adora.dk/P2057.txt | 10:40 |
| tdn | coalwater, ^ my installed java packages | 10:40 |
| bioterror | tdn, jsut a moment | 10:40 |
| bioterror | sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" | 10:41 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get install sun-java6-{jre,bin,plugin,fonts} | 10:41 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get purge openjdk-6-{jre,jre-lib,jre-headless} icedtea{-6-jre-cacao,6-plugin} | 10:41 |
| bioterror | hahaha tdn, you're also victim of DANSKE BANK | 10:41 |
| bioterror | :----------------D | 10:41 |
| coalwater | for firefox u could do a symlink, i do it like that | 10:41 |
| tdn | coalwater, I already have this line in my sources: deb http://archive.canonical.com natty partner | 10:42 |
| coalwater | what line? | 10:43 |
| bioterror | tdn, then skip that part | 10:43 |
| tdn | Ok. | 10:43 |
| coalwater | ok, well i have my java installed in /usr/java, i link /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so to /usr/java/jre1.6.0_25/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so | 10:46 |
| bioterror | coalwater, what does that mean? | 10:46 |
| bioterror | why you link? | 10:46 |
| coalwater | i usually just install java from java.com | 10:46 |
| bioterror | is there a certain raeson | 10:46 |
| bioterror | coalwater, why? | 10:46 |
| coalwater | then do the symlink, to make firefox see the java plugin | 10:46 |
| tdn | bioterror, coalwater : it is installing now. A bit slow net. So it takes a while. | 10:47 |
| bioterror | o_O | 10:47 |
| coalwater | bioterror, like this http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/manual-plugin-install-linux-136395.html | 10:47 |
| bioterror | takes couple of days from repos to update to the latest if newer one is released | 10:47 |
| coalwater | never tried the way u just posted | 10:48 |
| bioterror | :G | 10:48 |
| bioterror | tdn, after installation restart your browser | 10:48 |
| coalwater | so bioterror , i dunno if that is supposed to mean bad or what lol | 10:49 |
| tdn | bioterror, it works. Thanks! | 10:50 |
| bioterror | tdn, you're welcome ;) | 10:50 |
| bioterror | coalwater, as you see, you're doing it wrong ;) | 10:51 |
| coalwater | usually worked for me lol, but i saved the lines u just pasted and i think ill try it when i'm free lol | 10:51 |
| bioterror | it has been asked so many times | 10:52 |
| coalwater | yea i noticed | 10:55 |

| stlsaint | coalwater: interesting | 16:34 |
| coalwater | i think im gonna try making duanedesign my devel and bugs mentor :P | 16:34 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: good luck, guy is pretty busy ;) | 16:34 |
| coalwater | i know | 16:34 |
| duanedesign | hello stlsaint | 16:34 |
| stlsaint | WHOA | 16:34 |
| stlsaint | um, erm, hmm, *cough*, well i duane we were just talking on how great a guy you are :D | 16:35 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: quick question, does clic have a apport hook? | 16:35 |
| duanedesign | ha | 16:35 |
| duanedesign | stlsaint: it does not | 16:35 |
| duanedesign | good idea though | 16:36 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: well i did up two for the lubuntu project and am working on packaging them now, i have no issue with filing bug and working on one for the project | 16:36 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: speaking of which is there anything i can help with on the packaging of clic? you said there was issue? | 16:37 |
| duanedesign | yeah, not sure what is up but it is failing to build | 16:37 |
| stlsaint | which are you trying to build for? | 16:38 |
| stlsaint | natty oneiric? | 16:38 |
| duanedesign | let me make sure I have the most recent debian folder i have uploaded to bzr | 16:38 |
| duanedesign | Natty | 16:38 |
| stlsaint | hrm, i could have sworn i built a package for natty, for practice but didnt sign or test it so i discarded it, i can go at it again when i get off work tonight | 16:39 |
| stlsaint | i need to clean up my clic branch anyways, old code still lingering around in there | 16:40 |
| duanedesign | abdoloutely | 16:40 |
| stlsaint | bodhi_zazen: heyo | 16:40 |
| duanedesign | err | 16:40 |
| duanedesign | absoloutely | 16:40 |
| stlsaint | haha, fat finger freddy | 16:40 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: i have still not received word on the whole alioth plan yet | 16:41 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: they said give it 72 hours | 16:41 |
| duanedesign | A b s o l u t e l y | 16:41 |
| stlsaint | and the will reply to me | 16:41 |
| duanedesign | their | 16:41 |
| stlsaint | success | 16:41 |
| duanedesign | :) | 16:41 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: psstt.... | 16:41 |
| coalwater | *whispers* yes? | 16:41 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: Hi | 16:42 |
| duanedesign | stlsaint: thank you for all your help | 16:43 |
| duanedesign | i am getting a lot of emails fromm users wanting a new release | 16:44 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: np, it is great work for me to learn packaging | 16:44 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: yea i have been also, and even more attention on the manpage as well | 16:44 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: you may want to gander at the proposed members for the clic dev team on lp | 16:45 |
| duanedesign | stlsaint: cool i will | 16:47 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: when are we looking to schedule a release? | 16:48 |
| duanedesign | as soon as i can get it packaged | 16:50 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: in that case were you able to view my email on suggesting the feature freeze | 16:50 |
| duanedesign | though we need to get it packaged, releaswed and let people use it for a couple weeks to see if any bugs pop up | 16:51 |
| duanedesign | definetly we need to stop addding features at this point | 16:51 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: i say we knock out say the last few bugs we have had as of last month and throw in the manpage and then release | 16:51 |
| stlsaint | the natty release should definately help easy into a oneiric release | 16:53 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: i also would like to suggest again the email to the dev team with your plans, goals, current focus, release timeframe, etc. Just so everyone is on the same page | 16:55 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: me hogging your time in here is unfair to the others :D | 16:55 |
| duanedesign | :) | 16:56 |
| duanedesign | thanks again stlsaint I am off for Lunch | 17:01 |
| stlsaint | and im off for work...later folks | 17:07 |

| brad_ | is this working? | 18:08 |
| pleia2 | brad_: yes | 18:10 |
| brad_ | hey cool! Thank you! | 18:10 |
| brad_ | I am a total newb here. I love ubuntu, but coming from windows is really difficult. Can anyone recommend a good book? | 18:10 |
| brad_ | I need to troubleshoot my system at home, and am finding it very confusing | 18:11 |
| coalwater | what's the problem ? | 18:12 |
| brad_ | my sound doesnt work, and I cant get dual monitors to work | 18:12 |
| brad_ | ive tried to read through the community documentation, but nothing is working | 18:12 |
| brad_ | I thought I would buy a book if there is a good one available | 18:13 |
| UndiFineD | brad_, there the Ubuntu-Manual a book which you can order | 18:13 |
| UndiFineD | http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 18:14 |
| UndiFineD | or read online | 18:14 |
| seidos | brad_: you could also buy support | 18:14 |
| brad_ | I actually had the sound working at one point, but i think it went away when I updated? | 18:15 |
| brad_ | Thank your for the link BTW | 18:15 |
| UndiFineD | I am not very capable in sound issues | 18:17 |
| UndiFineD | as my own sound is broken too | 18:17 |
| pleia2 | brad_: have you seen this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems | 18:17 |
| pleia2 | (there are also some links at the bottom of the page for some further testing) | 18:18 |
| brad_ | thank you pleia2. That does look familiar. I will take a look at that again. | 18:19 |
| pleia2 | the "ubuntu-bug audio" thing is pretty nice, walks you through a lot of basic troubleshooting in dialogs | 18:19 |
| brad_ | I do remember changing a value somewhere from a 0 to a 1, or from a 1 to a 2 and had sound, but couldnt find the page that I used to get me there | 18:20 |
| brad_ | I downloaded that book. I will do some more research and will likely be back here soon. Thanks all. | 18:21 |
| brad_ | okay, im already back. | 18:36 |
| brad_ | I just upgraded to the latest version, and I dont like it. Is it possible to revert back to the prior ? | 18:37 |
| pleia2 | not really | 18:37 |
| brad_ | so then I would just re-install meerkat? | 18:38 |
| pleia2 | yeah, reinstalling is the only reliable way | 18:38 |
| pleia2 | you may also want to check out "classic" mode | 18:39 |
| pleia2 | if you don't like the new unity interface | 18:39 |
| brad_ | that is basically what I dont like. how do I do classic mode? | 18:39 |
| pleia2 | brad_: when you log in there is an option as to which interface you want to use | 18:39 |
| pleia2 | (I don't remember where exactly, poke around the login screen some and you should find it :)) | 18:40 |
| brad_ | okay will do. | 18:41 |
| brad_ | found it. Thank you pleia2. one more stupid question; | 18:43 |
| brad_ | assuming I have 1/2 a brain, how long should it take to get comfortable with ubuntu, and move around relatively easy? | 18:43 |
| pleia2 | it depends on the type of user, I've set up with a lot of casual computer users (web, email, office docs) with ubuntu and they had no problems getting used to it | 18:44 |
| pleia2 | if you're more of a power windows user and like pushing the limits of your system the learning curve will be steeper | 18:44 |
| brad_ | 5 years? | 18:45 |
| pleia2 | maybe 5 years to become a linux professional | 18:45 |
| brad_ | well that is encouraging! | 18:46 |
| brad_ | Thanks. Im gonna log out and try the classic screen. | 18:46 |
| brad_ | i'll be back (mimic's the governator) | 18:47 |
| harleydude | How do yu highlight more than one file in a folder | 19:03 |
| harleydude | ? Tried holding down "CTRL" key but does not let | 19:04 |
| harleydude | do anything | 19:04 |
| harleydude | In Windows you can select a file and hold down the Shift & CTRL key and highlight more then one file. Not sure how to accomplish same thing in Ubuntu? | 19:06 |
| xardas008_ | *thinking* | 19:22 |
| DarkwingDuck | harleydude: it works here with the left CTRL | 19:22 |
| xardas008_ | did you use the arrow keys in combination with ctrl harleydude | 19:23 |
| coalwater | im not sure of what's the problem but are u trying simply in nautilus, or a file selector? if its a selector it might not allow multiple files, just saying | 19:24 |

| virgo | hi | 20:32 |
| bioterror | hi | 20:32 |
| virgo | where does ubuntu install my programs | 20:32 |
| bioterror | usually /usr/bin or /usr/sbin | 20:33 |
| virgo | there are ony executables | 20:39 |
| virgo | where are the folders | 20:39 |
| kristian-aalborg | virgo, hi | 20:46 |
| virgo | hi | 20:46 |
| kristian-aalborg | the other stuff is in other folders... the configuration is likely in your home folder | 20:46 |
| kristian-aalborg | some things might be in /usr/share, I think | 20:47 |
| virgo | i have to install libraries for some programs | 20:47 |
| virgo | and i dont know where they are located after using software center to install them | 20:47 |
| kristian-aalborg | ah, which programs is it and what are the missing libraries? | 20:47 |
| virgo | actually, i want to configure my CodeBlocks IDE program for irrlicht libraries | 20:48 |
| virgo | it micht be that i dont need to do this at all | 20:50 |
| virgo | Code::Blocks IDE says: choose the irrlicht location | 20:55 |
| virgo | and i have no idea wher did ubuntu put this | 20:55 |
| virgo | in windows it would be Program Files i guess | 20:56 |
| virgo | i need the folder where ubuntu unpacks files for installing i think | 21:07 |
| hajour | do you have download yourself or have it installed by package manager virgo ? | 21:09 |
| virgo | i did use software center | 21:09 |
| UndiFineD | hello virgo , if you use software center, everything should be installed by itself | 21:10 |
| hajour | thanks UndiFineD you can type faster then me and also i need to learn still much | 21:10 |
| hajour | virgo by UndiFineD you are in safe hands by way of speaking :) | 21:11 |
| UndiFineD | virgo, | 21:11 |
| UndiFineD | http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/tut_codeblocks.html | 21:11 |
| UndiFineD | oh those are silly windows installation guides | 21:12 |
| UndiFineD | well maybe it is partially relevant too | 21:13 |
| UndiFineD | but instead gcc would be used and directory names are different | 21:14 |
| virgo | in that tutorial all the folders are Program files\... | 21:14 |
| UndiFineD | virgo I will try this mysellf | 21:15 |
| UndiFineD | I have neither | 21:15 |
| virgo | and when i start my project, it asks irrlicht location | 21:15 |
| UndiFineD | I am recording actually what I am doing for you now :) | 21:20 |
| virgo | i think i have to download and unpack the irrlicht separately | 21:21 |
| UndiFineD | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7607669/desktop/Screenshot-21.png | 21:21 |
| virgo | for some reason i see only little top side of this picture | 21:26 |
| UndiFineD | maybe I was to fast for copying that link, you can try again | 21:27 |
| virgo | refresh not helping... | 21:32 |
| === coalwater_ is now known as coalwater | ||
| UndiFineD | virgo, I am having the same issue | 21:38 |
| UndiFineD | I got a lot of stuff, installed and I recorded it in a screen session | 21:38 |
| UndiFineD | which is encoding now | 21:38 |
| UndiFineD | but at least you can get a feeling of how I do it in ubuntu | 21:39 |
| virgo | so, you too were not able to start irrlicht project with CodeBlocks? | 21:40 |
| UndiFineD | no | 21:40 |
| hajour | is there a bug report maybe from it ? | 21:43 |
| virgo | may be it will still compyle my project if i just include the irrlicht.h file? | 21:46 |
| virgo | when i choose some other default project as blank | 21:46 |
| === coalwater__ is now known as coalwater | ||
| UndiFineD | might be | 21:50 |
| hajour | mm maybe useful to report it | 21:56 |
| virgo | ahh, i so failed today. May be better luck tomorrow. Thanks for help. | 22:02 |
| virgo | bye | 22:02 |
| UndiFineD | ok see you virgo | 22:02 |
