| holstein | it looks like it, but i cant confirm that its the same | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | FlashSmith: make the USB stick and try it | 00:00 |
| holstein | you dont break anything trying it out | 00:01 |
| FlashSmith | Oh okay Thanks, hmm I was also just wondering if it | 00:01 |
| FlashSmith | it's possible to uninstall ubuntu after you installed it | 00:01 |
| FlashSmith | (like I decide to install it after I tried it, but later on I decide to uninstall it again) | 00:02 |
| nlsthzn | FlashSmith: you can try it out without installing it | 00:07 |
| nlsthzn | It can run in a live environment straight from the usb | 00:08 |
| FlashSmith | Oh I know, it's just I was wondering if it's possible to uninstall once/if I actually install it | 00:08 |
| nlsthzn | FlashSmith: yes it is... but like in all things you have to read up and do it correctly... | 00:08 |
| nlsthzn | or else things may go wrong | 00:09 |
| holstein | yeah... check out wubi assuming you have windows installed | 00:10 |
| holstein | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer | 00:10 |
| holstein | you can pretty much get a normal-ish installation that can be removed like a windows program | 00:11 |
| FlashSmith | I see, thank you | 00:13 |
| FlashSmith | I tried Ubuntu on a cd before, and I found that it was as crisp/clear as windows, is there a way to fix that? | 00:14 |
| holstein | FlashSmith: what needed fixing? | 00:15 |
| holstein | it was not as 'crisp'? | 00:15 |
| holstein | the graphics were fuzzy? | 00:15 |
| FlashSmith | Yeah | 00:15 |
| FlashSmith | I tried changing the resolution but I don't think it helped | 00:15 |
| holstein | probably the graphics driver | 00:15 |
| FlashSmith | Hmm, what do you mean? | 00:15 |
| holstein | maybe its as easy as a native resolution issue | 00:16 |
| holstein | FlashSmith: depending on who manufactured your graphics hardware, they may or may not support linux | 00:16 |
| FlashSmith | Oh, is there a way to fix that problem? | 00:17 |
| holstein | well, we | 00:17 |
| holstein | 're still guessing at what the problem is | 00:17 |
| holstein | but, this is linux | 00:17 |
| holstein | everything is open | 00:17 |
| holstein | so, the answer is literally always yes | 00:17 |
| * nlsthzn has never successfully done a wubi install from USB... | 00:17 | |
| holstein | just depends on if you want to deal with it or not | 00:18 |
| seidos | FlashSmith: it could be that you don't find gnome aesthetically pleasing to your eyes. you could try kubuntu if you prefer blues like windows | 00:18 |
| holstein | yeah, the UI could just be different looking | 00:18 |
| holstein | fuzzy could just be not having the sharp edges you are accustomed to | 00:19 |
| FlashSmith | The text on ubuntu doesn't look as crisp as the text on windows? | 00:19 |
| seidos | FlashSmith: i'm not sure what you mean by "crisp"...like how lettuce looks crispy? or like sharp, and in resolution and definition? | 00:19 |
| holstein | FlashSmith: think about how long you spent tweaking windows.. give yourself a similar amount of time in ubuntu, and i think you'll find you can sort out whatever issues you find | 00:19 |
| seidos | and in = as in | 00:20 |
| seidos | holstein: well said | 00:20 |
| holstein | :) | 00:20 |
| FlashSmith | Like sharp I think | 00:20 |
| seidos | FlashSmith: if the resolution is the same in windows and ubuntu, which it should be, then try kde | 00:20 |
| FlashSmith | What's kubuntu right? | 00:21 |
| FlashSmith | That's* | 00:21 |
| seidos | FlashSmith: i don't understand your question | 00:22 |
| holstein | FlashSmith: all of the buntus are basically the same | 00:22 |
| holstein | kubuntu is just ubuntu with the KDE environment | 00:22 |
| holstein | lubuntu has LXDE | 00:22 |
| seidos | FlashSmith: you could just install the kubuntu desktop "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" | 00:23 |
| seidos | i'm not sure if there is a kde package in ubuntu | 00:23 |
| holstein | there are quite a bit more customizations involved, but they all have the same software base | 00:23 |
| FlashSmith | I'll try kubuntu I guess, and what do you mean by customizations? | 00:24 |
| nlsthzn | In Ubuntu you can set the fonts to four different ways of displaying... I find that the LCD setting always worked best when using a ... LCD... right click desktop... bottom entry (can't remember what is is called) ... Fonts (if memory serves) | 00:25 |
| holstein | FlashSmith: if you wanted to make FlashBuntu, what software would you put in there? | 00:25 |
| holstein | what web browser or whatever | 00:25 |
| holstein | thats the basis of these customizations | 00:25 |
| FlashSmith | Oh okay, I think I get it | 00:26 |
| Core_UK | If I sign my mail with my openPGP key how do people know it is me? | 00:49 |
| Core_UK | I sent a test mail and it only showed an attachment with random letters/numbers | 00:50 |
| holstein | cprofitt: you give it to them | 00:54 |
| holstein | and they can check and confirm it | 00:55 |
| cprofitt | ? | 00:55 |
| holstein | cprofitt: sorry | 00:57 |
| holstein | Core_UK: ^^ | 00:57 |
| cprofitt | no problem... | 00:57 |
| holstein | here is a really nice slide a friend did for a LUG presentation http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1172535/wnclug/presentations/Public-Key%20Cryptography%20Presentation%202010-09-04.pdf | 00:58 |

| FlashSmith | Hello, I tried to install something in ubuntu but the Ubuntu Software Center said: libnspr4-0d (>= 4.7.1) | 01:28 |
| FlashSmith | "Dependency is not satisfiable: libnspr4-0d (>= 4.7.1)" | 01:28 |
| FlashSmith | What does that mean? | 01:28 |
| froq | anyone know of a way I can add a thunderbird applet?!?! | 03:22 |

| maz | have I managed to get on irc? | 10:36 |
| maz | first time | 10:36 |
| maz | can anyone see me? | 10:36 |
| * geirha looks straight through maz | 10:37 | |
| geirha | Did anyone hear anything? | 10:37 |
| maz | Im having problems with sound on my ubuntu 11.04 | 10:38 |
| geirha | maz: Yes, we can see you. :) Welcome :) | 10:38 |
| maz | thanks | 10:38 |
| maz | was wondering how I could go about sorting it out | 10:38 |
| maz | actually i have lubuntu | 10:39 |
| geirha | Well, explain the nature of the sound problems. | 10:39 |
| maz | ive had a look on many of the online forums but no luck | 10:39 |
| maz | well, i have sound if i connect headphones but i cant get anything from the speakers on the laptop | 10:40 |
| maz | i have an HDA intel sound card | 10:40 |
| geirha | Ah, those can be a bit problematic | 10:41 |
| geirha | !hdaintel | 10:41 |
| ubot2 | For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 10:41 |
| maz | ta, will check it out! and let u know how i got on | 10:42 |
| geirha | I'd probably try manually specifying module parameters first. | 10:43 |
| maz | just a quick Question, do I need a sound server for my sound to work? | 10:45 |
| maz | as I have checked and no sound servers installed | 10:45 |
| geirha | You already have sound (through headphones), so it's most likely a driver issue. | 10:53 |
| maz | yes, silly me | 10:54 |
| maz | actually my card is an "analog devices" sound card | 10:55 |
| maz | hda intel is the controller? | 10:55 |
| maz | but yes will try module parameters! ta | 10:56 |
| maz | ok got something, found my card model "Analog Devices AD1884" | 11:03 |
| maz | looked it up in a file under - /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz | 11:04 |
| maz | and underneath ad1884 it has N/A | 11:04 |
| maz | is that bad news? | 11:04 |

| iggleston | hello all | 21:41 |
| iggleston | quick question. if i install ubuntu onto my win 7 pc, will it load grub or lilo or whatever to make sure it dual boots, or do i have to install that manually? | 21:51 |
| seidos | it'll load grub automatically | 21:51 |
| seidos | from what i know | 21:52 |
| seidos | but that doesn't mean you won't have problems | 21:52 |
| seidos | !grub | iggleston | 21:52 |
| ubot2 | iggleston: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 21:52 |
| seidos | if you do have problems though, the stuff on that link should help you solve them | 21:52 |
| iggleston | ok,thanks! | 21:53 |
| seidos | good luck! | 21:53 |
| iggleston | i'll be doing 11.04! thanks@ | 21:53 |
