DiegoTchi15:29
DiegoTcis there a way to know which were the updates I install??15:29
holsteinDiegoTc: i usually check in synaptic15:30
DiegoTcin which part holstein?15:31
DiegoTcI don't see a link that says Installed Updates or similar15:31
holsteinactually, to be more accurate... these days, i look *before* the updates go through :)15:31
holsteinin synaptic... file - history15:32
DiegoTcholstein, and it is possible to remove them?15:32
holsteinlike a button that says 'downgrade, or undo the last update' ?15:33
holsteinor remove the history?15:33
DiegoTcnop15:33
holsteinhttp://hartmansblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/how-to-undo-and-update-in-ubuntu-lucid.html might be relavant :)15:36
holsteinideally, you would maybe go a little slower though, and try and sort out what package is problematic, and why... and try and properly report it15:37
DiegoTcthanks holstein15:52
DiegoTcthe system is fine, but it gives me problem for building calligra :S15:52
holsteinDiegoTc: i would probably look for a PPA15:55
holsteini would start researching what this PPA is for https://launchpad.net/~yofel/+ppa-packages15:56
DiegoTcholstein, yes but there are no packages for ubuntu 10.0415:56
holsteinDiegoTc: theres probably a reason for that then15:57
holsteinmaybe something that is conflicting15:57
DiegoTcholstein, no calligra was until the year 2011 that began15:57
DiegoTcbefore it was koffice15:58
DiegoTcso I can still work with the koffice dependencies and calligra will run15:58
DiegoTcit was running until today on the morning that I update the system15:58
holsteinDiegoTc: you might just want to give the PPA maintainer a minute to catch up then16:00
holsteinmaybe email and mention what updates you did, and the breakage16:00
holsteinthat PPA seems quite active16:00
Nano2ndhow do you resize ubuntu's boot partition to install a windows OS?16:07
Abhijityou dnot need to resize /boot to install windows Nano2nd16:08
Nano2ndmy boot partition is 294gb16:08
Nano2ndi thinks its my only option16:08
Sidewinder1Nano2nd, And if you install win, it will kill your GRUB.16:09
Nano2ndit says boot under flag16:09
Nano2ndhmm16:09
Nano2ndI would like to dual boot windows vista with ubuntu16:09
Sidewinder1Nano2nd, Then you'll have to repair GRUB.16:09
Nano2ndok16:10
Nano2ndhow can I do this16:10
Sidewinder1Nano2nd, Have a look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub16:12
geirhaSo, 1. Boot the Ubuntu CD and use gparted to resize your Ubuntu partition. 2. Install Windows on the freed space. 3. Restore grub.16:32
geirhaAnother option is to just install windows in a virtual machine, but if you need to run heavy windows programs or games, you'll want a proper install.16:34
Sidewinder1geirha, He/she's gone.16:35
geirhaOh, so much for paying attention :)16:37
Sidewinder1Been there, done that. :D16:40
yofelDiegoTc, holstein: what's the problem? (that's my ppa)16:50
yofelor rather my ppa page16:51
DiegoTcyofel, I am using ubuntu 10.04 and I am building calligra, so there is no any ppa of calligra for ubuntu 10.0416:51
DiegoTcit was working fine until today on the morning that I installed some updates, and now I can't run calligra words16:52
yofelnot that I know of, and project neon is only for the latest stable release and the devel releas16:52
yofel*release16:52
DiegoTcholstein, was telling me about that ppa16:52
yofelDiegoTc: if you're building calligra yourself, you might want to ask in #Calligra too, they should know more about what you need to build it16:55
DiegoTcyofel, yes I am there I am working (supposly) for the KDE Season16:56
DiegoTcbut I have some (many problems buiding it :p )16:56
