[02:18] <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.
[02:19] <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?
[02:20] <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.
[02:21] <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
[02:22] <sidd1317> I can't install from the usb iso while running of the cd, then?
[02:22] <pleia2> not that I'm aware of
[02:23] <sidd1317> Well, thanks for the help anyhow

[10:09] <coalwater> thanks :D
[10:39] <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 :)
[10:40] <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
[10:41] <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
[10:42] <tdn> coalwater, I already have this line in my sources: deb http://archive.canonical.com natty partner
[10:43] <coalwater> what line?
[10:43] <bioterror> tdn, then skip that part
[10:43] <tdn> Ok.
[10:46] <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
[10:47] <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
[10:48] <coalwater> never tried the way u just posted
[10:48] <bioterror> :G
[10:48] <bioterror> tdn, after installation restart your browser
[10:49] <coalwater> so bioterror , i dunno if that is supposed to mean bad or what lol
[10:50] <tdn> bioterror, it works. Thanks!
[10:50] <bioterror> tdn, you're welcome ;)
[10:51] <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
[10:52] <bioterror> it has been asked so many times
[10:55] <coalwater> yea i noticed

[16:30] <stlsaint> coalwater: yo
[16:31] <coalwater> hey stlsaint , how are u doin
[16:32] <stlsaint> coalwater: upset that i am just now gaining access to some internet, service went down all day and when it finally comes up i have to go in to work
[16:32] <stlsaint> coalwater: other than that just working on packaging some apport hooks. What you up to?
[16:32] <coalwater> working on work's work :D
[16:34] <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
[16:35] <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
[16:36] <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
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <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
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <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
[16:41] <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?
[16:42] <stlsaint> coalwater: Hi
[16:43] <duanedesign> stlsaint: thank you for all your help
[16:44] <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
[16:45] <stlsaint> duanedesign: you may want to gander at the proposed members for the clic dev team on lp
[16:47] <duanedesign> stlsaint: cool i will
[16:48] <stlsaint> duanedesign: when are we looking to schedule a release?
[16:50] <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
[16:51] <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
[16:53] <stlsaint> the natty release should definately help easy into a oneiric release
[16:55] <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
[16:56] <duanedesign> :)
[17:01] <duanedesign> thanks again stlsaint I am off for Lunch
[17:07] <stlsaint> and im off for work...later folks

[18:08] <brad_> is this working?
[18:10] <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?
[18:11] <brad_> I need to troubleshoot my system at home, and am finding it very confusing
[18:12] <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
[18:13] <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
[18:14] <UndiFineD> http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[18:14] <UndiFineD> or read online
[18:14] <seidos> brad_: you could also buy support
[18:15] <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
[18:17] <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
[18:18] <pleia2> (there are also some links at the bottom of the page for some further testing)
[18:19] <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
[18:20] <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
[18:21] <brad_> I downloaded that book. I will do some more research and will likely be back here soon. Thanks all.
[18:36] <brad_> okay, im already back.
[18:37] <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
[18:38] <brad_> so then I would just re-install meerkat?
[18:38] <pleia2> yeah, reinstalling is the only reliable way
[18:39] <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
[18:40] <pleia2> (I don't remember where exactly, poke around the login screen some and you should find it :))
[18:41] <brad_> okay will do.
[18:43] <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?
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <brad_> 5 years?
[18:45] <pleia2> maybe 5 years to become a linux professional
[18:46] <brad_> well that is encouraging!
[18:46] <brad_> Thanks. Im gonna log out and try the classic screen.
[18:47] <brad_> i'll be back (mimic's the governator)
[19:03] <harleydude> How do yu highlight more than one file in a folder
[19:04] <harleydude> ? Tried holding down "CTRL" key but does not let
[19:04] <harleydude> do anything
[19:06] <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?
[19:22] <xardas008_> *thinking*
[19:22] <DarkwingDuck> harleydude: it works here with the left CTRL
[19:23] <xardas008_> did you use the arrow keys in combination with ctrl harleydude
[19:24] <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

[20:32] <virgo> hi
[20:32] <bioterror> hi
[20:32] <virgo> where does ubuntu install my programs
[20:33] <bioterror> usually /usr/bin or /usr/sbin
[20:39] <virgo> there are ony executables
[20:39] <virgo> where are the folders
[20:46] <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
[20:47] <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?
[20:48] <virgo> actually, i want to configure my CodeBlocks IDE program for irrlicht libraries
[20:50] <virgo> it micht be that i dont need to do this at all
[20:55] <virgo> Code::Blocks IDE says: choose the irrlicht location
[20:55] <virgo> and i have no idea wher did ubuntu put this
[20:56] <virgo>  in windows it would be Program Files i guess
[21:07] <virgo> i need the folder where ubuntu unpacks files for installing i think
[21:09] <hajour> do you have download yourself or have it installed by package manager virgo ?
[21:09] <virgo> i did use software center
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <UndiFineD> oh those are silly windows installation guides
[21:13] <UndiFineD> well maybe it is partially relevant too
[21:14] <UndiFineD> but instead gcc would be used and directory names are different
[21:14] <virgo> in that tutorial all the folders are Program files\...
[21:15] <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
[21:20] <UndiFineD> I am recording actually what I am doing for you now :)
[21:21] <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
[21:26] <virgo> for some reason i see only little top side of this picture

[21:38] <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
[21:39] <UndiFineD> but at least you can get a feeling of how I do it in ubuntu
[21:40] <virgo> so, you too were not able to start irrlicht project with CodeBlocks?
[21:40] <UndiFineD> no
[21:43] <hajour> is there a bug report maybe from it ?
[21:46] <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
=== coalwater__ is now known as coalwater
[21:50] <UndiFineD> might be
[21:56] <hajour> mm maybe useful to report it
