| major_sp00n | So i have a question. | 06:10 |
|---|---|---|
| major_sp00n | ive got 7 installed | 06:11 |
| major_sp00n | but i want to experiment with Ubuntu. | 06:11 |
| major_sp00n | is there anyway i can do this without having to format my HDD? | 06:11 |
| superfly | major_sp00n: yes, just install it, and tell it to adjust the size of your hdd | 06:13 |
| superfly | the installer has the ability to do that... but I think you need to run some windows disk utility first... defrag? | 06:14 |
| * superfly is out of touch with windows | 06:14 | |
| Symmetria | ullo :) | 06:39 |
| Squirm | hi | 06:40 |
| Turtle_neck | major_sp00n here. thanks superfly ill give it a shot | 06:40 |
| Symmetria | yay, flying today, back on thursday, and then I finally get to spend 2 or 3 weeks at home in the country | 06:40 |
| Squirm | Turtle_neck: it's actually possible to install Ubuntu inside of windows | 06:41 |
| superfly | Turtle_neck: I think you have to tell the installer not to do automatic partitioning, but I last did a dual install years ago | 06:41 |
| superfly | Squirm: yes, but you end up with major issues | 06:41 |
| Symmetria | and gf arrives in south africa on friday (or saturday, not 100% confirmed) | 06:41 |
| Symmetria | yay :) | 06:41 |
| Squirm | wubi | 06:41 |
| superfly | Squirm: yes, and every time you update grub, wubi bombs out | 06:41 |
| Squirm | superfly: I never had a problem when I did it, I think Ubuntu doesn't load grub | 06:41 |
| Squirm | oh | 06:41 |
| superfly | Squirm: i.e. every time you update your kernel, boom | 06:42 |
| superfly | Squirm: too many stories from people, I rather direct people to proper dual booting - less issues | 06:42 |
| Squirm | hmm, there's also Virtual PC | 06:42 |
| superfly | *VirtualBox | 06:43 |
| Squirm | no... Virtual PC | 06:43 |
| Squirm | http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=4580 | 06:43 |
| Squirm | but yes, essentially it's VirtualBox for windows | 06:43 |
| superfly | Squirm: VirtualBox... www.virtualbox.org | 06:43 |
| superfly | Squirm: VB works on Windows and OS X too, not just Ubuntu | 06:43 |
| Squirm | hmmmm. :P | 06:44 |
| Squirm | I knew that | 06:44 |
| * Squirm whistles innocently | 06:44 | |
| superfly | AND, it's open source | 06:44 |

| Squirm | February 6th, 2010 | 06:45 |
| Squirm | ^^ | 06:45 |
| Squirm | but I'm not going to stand up for wubi | 06:45 |
| superfly | Squirm: it's not the only one | 06:45 |
| Turtle_neck | im trying to avoid the use of virtual box's. my ram struggles as is. so, u reckon i should just back up all important stuff on teh drive and then attempt an in-windows ubuntu install? | 06:50 |
| Symmetria | lo superfly | 06:51 |
| Squirm | Turtle_neck: from what Superfly told me, no. you're better of maybe trying to create a seperate partition, like he said | 06:52 |
| Squirm | hiya Symmetria | 06:52 |
| Symmetria | :P someone go do this trip for me | 06:52 |
| Symmetria | I dont wanna go :P | 06:52 |
| sakhi | Morning | 06:52 |
| Turtle_neck | and id have to do that in a live-instance i.e booting from UbuntuCD | 06:52 |
| Turtle_neck | i thought that creating partitions with an OS on the drive just causes issues? | 06:53 |
| superfly | hi Symmetria | 06:55 |
| superfly | Turtle_neck: no, Ubuntu will partition for you, just make sure you select the "resize partition" option | 06:55 |
| sakhi | hi superfly Symmetria #ubuntu-za | 06:55 |
| superfly | heya sakhi | 06:56 |
| Turtle_neck | thanks dood | 06:56 |

| Kilos | the whole HQ or just one person | 08:26 |
| Kilos | hehe | 08:26 |
| HQUbuntu | stands for my geographical area | 08:27 |
| HQUbuntu | first thing I could think of | 08:28 |
| HQUbuntu | trying to download ubuntu latest server version iso but my firefox doesnt want to do anything when i click save.... weird | 08:28 |
| Kilos | eish | 08:28 |
| Kilos | welcome to ubuntu-za HQUbuntu | 08:29 |
| HQUbuntu | i may have to download IE again just for this cliche.... i dont like using IE but shall have to.... very weird error | 08:29 |
| HQUbuntu | thanks | 08:29 |
| HQUbuntu | i feel welcome | 08:29 |
| HQUbuntu | is ubuntu still the greatest? | 08:29 |
| Kilos | of course | 08:29 |
| Kilos | strange that ff doesnt give you the option to save or even save as | 08:31 |
| Kilos | if you have downloaded it , it must be somewhere there | 08:32 |
| Kilos | hey morgs | 08:33 |
| Kilos | hi Turtle_neck welcome to ubuntu-za | 08:34 |
| morgs | hi Kilos and everyone | 08:34 |
| Kilos | Maaz, coffee on | 08:35 |
| * Maaz washes some mugs | 08:35 | |
| morgs | HQUbuntu: What exactly happens? You right click Save Link As? or click the link directly? Do you get prompted where to save it? | 08:36 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for Kilos! | 08:39 |
| Kilos | Maaz, gracias amigo | 08:39 |
| Maaz | ¡de nada compadre | 08:39 |
| HQUbuntu | weird | 08:39 |
| HQUbuntu | i get option to save, but when i click nothing happens, as well as no download in background | 08:40 |
| HQUbuntu | got download manager now and will download third party for now till i figure it out | 08:40 |
| HQUbuntu | so, i wanne setup nice ubuntu server mainly for squid proxy setup to monitor and control our users internet misuse | 08:42 |
| HQUbuntu | who is gonna help me? :) | 08:42 |
| Kilos | HQUbuntu, try this link | 08:45 |
| Kilos | http://chrisjohnston.org/2008/installing-squid-proxy-using-webmin-on-ubuntu-server-8041 | 08:45 |
| HQUbuntu | thanks, will check it out | 08:45 |
| HQUbuntu | wont differ much from newest ubuntu 11 right? | 08:45 |
| Kilos | i dont think so | 08:46 |
| HQUbuntu | would you recommend webmin? | 08:46 |
| Kilos | you need that info from one of the clever guys | 08:47 |
| superfly | HQUbuntu: I recommend NOT using webmin, and rather learning how to administrate servers via the command line | 08:48 |
| superfly | webmin is a very big security risk, and you don't learn anything by using it either | 08:48 |
| Kilos | HQUbuntu, here is another one but i dont see one for natty | 08:50 |
| Kilos | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-server-with-squid-3-as-a-transparent-proxy.html | 08:50 |
| HQUbuntu | thanks guys, i also feel i will rather learn the hard way, without webmin | 08:52 |
| Kilos | good luck HQUbuntu | 08:54 |
