Geodudeuhg. I just got flamed for being an american in #Archlinux. so angry.00:31
nit-witGeodude, I wouldn't take them to seriously. ;)00:34
GeodudeWhy can't they just be helpful? I never get an answer from them.00:35
nit-witGeodude, I would lurk and learn their customs, if you go there uninformed in general, not saying you are it can get ugly. Archlinux has some of the best wiki's so you might look there as well.00:39

holsteinphilipballew: thanks so much :)18:16
philipballewi installed debian and i cant get any sound to work at all, ill recommend to all my friends18:17
philipballewso i thought ubuntu might work better. haha18:17
holsteinjuemo: when im sitting u pa server, im alwasy able to go with dynamic addressing at first18:17
holsteini do that so i can test the hardware... then i go static, and i can assume any issues are config18:18
holsteinif thats an option, i would try it just to rule that out... otherwise you could waste a lot of time on a hardware problem18:18
holsteini gotta run... philipballew, thanks again.. you rock!18:19
juemoholstein: The network having problem isn't static.  There is only dhcp reservation specified on the router18:19

truepurpleWhen I go to the ubuntu site and choose to make a usb flash drive my boot medium, does it formate or delete already existing content on it?20:59
ikoniatruepurple: yes21:01
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
truepurpleikonia,  Well I had a usb drive that already had boot content on it before, I think. I downloaded the ISO for ubuntu 11.04 and followed the instructions on the ubuntu site for putting it on the usb flash drive, but it didn't work.21:03
ikoniatruepurple: ok21:03
truepurpleNow if the old files on the usb flash drive were still there, I thought maybe they were screwing things up, but if not, what is the matter? Shall I use it again and tell you the error it gives?21:04
ikoniatruepurple: it depends if your stick meets the requirements of space/unallocated space.21:05
ikoniait will ask you what you want to do, rather than just do it21:05
truepurpleI did not understand that21:05
ikoniatruepurple: what OS are you making the USB drive from ?21:06
truepurpleubuntu 11.0421:06
ikoniaso you're actually making the USB stick from ubuntu21:07
truepurpleI am using a ISO of 11.04 I downloaded, but the OS in the background is 11.0421:08
ikoniain that case I don't believe it removes the files as long as you have 2 GB of free space on the file system you want to use21:08
truepurpleSo I need to do it again, and this time format first?21:09
ikoniathe windows application has an option to remove/format the drive your using21:09
ikoniatruepurple: I see no reason to format it unless you have no space21:09
truepurpleWell like I said, it isnt working. "Window application"?21:09
ikoniawindow application ?21:09
truepurpleYou said it, not me21:11
truepurpleI was just wondering why21:11
ikoniaooh21:11
ikoniaI was explaining that the windows application that creates a pen drive has an option to format the partition, the ubuntu one does not21:12
truepurpleikonia, and without the option to format the drive, it doesn't format the drive? Do I need to format the drive before installing ubuntu 11.04 as a "live CD"?21:14
ikonianot if you have space21:14
ikoniaif your file system meets the minimum space requirement, I don't believe there is a need to format it21:14
truepurpleSo why isnt it working?21:15
ikoniano idea, that's your issue to work out/feedback on, resolve21:16
ikoniasaying "it's not working" is like me giving advice "fix it"21:17
truepurpleikonia, If I gave you the message it gives me when I try to use it, might you be able to figure out what is going wrong?21:18
ikoniaI can certainly look at it21:19

ubot2If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing21:20

philipballewthere we go21:20
truepurpleikonia, "syslinux 4.02 debian 20101018 EDD copyright..." next line "menu.c32i: not a com32R image"21:41
truepurpleAnd that second line gets repeated like every 10 seconds21:41
ikoniatruepurple: ok two thoughts on that21:42
ikoniathe first one I don't how valid it is, but there used to be a bug that the installer and certain iso versions that caused it21:42
ikoniaI thought it was fixed, but I don't know if it is21:42
truepurpleso it might work with 10.10?21:43
ikoniathe second is the issue is that the problem is that the menu application used does not actually have a valid image (as in graphics) file assicated with it, this used to be a common issue with syslinux when making pxeboot menus21:43
ikoniawithout looking into the actual pendrive making application more I don't know why it doesn't have an image assicated with it as I don't know how it makes it, but that is the reason for the error21:43
truepurpleSo in short, what can I do to make a ubuntu "live cd" usb flash drive?21:44
truepurpleI mean one that works21:45
ikoniawell, you could try using the windows application if you have a windows machine available, you could try a different version of ubuntu to see if the old bug is still valid or you could wait for me/other person to have time to actually look into the application21:45
truepurpleikonia, what you were saying earlier about not needing to format, what about if the old data is for a boot? Doesn't the old boot MBR (or whatever those initials are) get in the way?21:51
truepurpleikonia, Also, any idea why there is no option to download 10.10?21:52
CLF1Can anyone tell me how to trace this error received when trying to repair:  samba4: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 122:33
charlie-tcaIf that is all the errors, try the install again after running sudo apt-get clean, sudo apt-get update22:39
CLF1thanks...problem is that when I try to install things like a back up application, it fails because the samba4 is bad.22:41
CLF1clean went very fast...like a blink of an eye22:42
charlie-tcayes, the try the install is for samba22:42
charlie-tcaThat usually works to get it to finish installing, then you don't get that error no more22:43
CLF1thaks Charlie-tca no errors on update..trying to reinstall the samba4 now22:43
charlie-tcaGood luck.22:43
CLF1is it okay to use the packet manager to do the reinstall?22:44
charlie-tcayes22:47
CLF1failed22:47
charlie-tcaAnyone got anything here for samba4 fails to complete the install?22:48
charlie-tcaCLF1: I am out of knowledge with that22:48
CLF1IT's all good thanks for the response...i'll get it sooner or later22:49
rabe_yay, fist time/day using ubunto and allready totally in love with it <323:31
stlsaintrabe_: awesome glad to hear it23:40
rabe_it has all those little neat features i thought that would be great in windows23:41
stlsaintrabe_: what distro you running?23:42
rabe_like an updater that is /good/23:42
rabe_latest desktop version23:42
rabe_11.04 i believe23:43
stlsaintah yes23:43
rabe_and built in instant messenger23:44
rabe_also the installer with wifi support23:44
rabe_and even my screen resolution was right form the start23:45
stlsaintrabe_: awesome23:46
stlsaintrabe_: hope everything continues to workout for you23:47
stlsaintrabe_: you can use this channel for support questions also23:47
rabe_that is why i droped in, but until now i found everything myself23:47
rabe_there is no photoshop for ubuntu, i suppose?23:48
stlsaintrabe_: there is package: gimp23:49
stlsaintvery good and popular alternative to photoshop23:49
rabe_yeah, that is the next best thing :)23:49
rabe_is there a tool for gmail and google calendar integration?23:50
stlsaintrabe_: yes, i just forgot what it was, one sec23:51
truepurpleIs the partitioning tool of a "live CD", gparted? Are they exactly the same?23:51
stlsainttruepurple: yes gparted is the same on the livecd as in the actual install23:51
stlsaintrabe_: i use checkgmail23:52
rabe_ok, thanks23:52
stlsaintrabe_: but that is more like a notifier23:52
rabe_that is all i probably need23:53
stlsaintrabe_: you can use evolution or thunderbird for better integration and tools23:53
rabe_ill just make some actions on my desktop i guess23:53
rabe_evolution is really nice, but i'm used to realtime applications23:54
stlsaintrabe_: as of my latest install i just stick to using chromium for gmail needs especially with gmail,calendar and google+ now23:54
stlsaintrabe_: but you will see there are ALOT of options within the repositories23:56
stlsaintoh i forgot about prism, rather nice also23:56
rabe_hehe, i bet this will keep me occupied for a while23:56
stlsaintrabe_: getting a fresh install catered just to how you like it will take some time until you get used to the tools and configurations that help automate the process23:57
rabe_that is why i'm allready modifying the installation disk for later installs, including my other pc23:59
