| henry_ | Can anybody help me? i have just installed the latest Ubuntu and want to use my adaptec aha 2940 scsi card. How do I do this? | 10:50 |
| haqking | henry_: hi, is that an old 50 pin scsi ? | 10:57 |
| henry_ | Yes . Not sure of the date but adaptec do provide Vista drivers. I am trying to use my Epson gt30000 scanner which is vital to me and I would prefer not to have to use windows in a virtual machine. | 10:59 |
| haqking | yes i see, i think there is a few issues with it but a modprobe shoulod yield some results, wait one sec just having a quick look around | 11:01 |
| henry_ | Oh by the way .... thanks for being here! | 11:02 |
| haqking | no problem ;-) | 11:03 |
| haqking | i am pretty sure you will need to custom build your kernel with that module see here http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man4/ahc.4.html | 11:04 |
| haqking | it is for old version of ubunut but i think the aicxxx is being replaced | 11:04 |
| haqking | sorry but dont think i can be of much more help than that, someone with direct experience of that card i thinkn would need to chime in, have you posted on the forum ? | 11:05 |
| Sidewinder1 | henry_, Someone here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=332 may be able to give specific instructions for that card. It'll take longer, but you'll get more exposure, over time. | 11:09 |
| henry_ | Thanks for the link. Had a look and that is all way beyond my abilities! | 11:11 |
| haqking | best bet it is to post in the forum with link above ^ and see if anyone else has experience with that card | 11:11 |
| haqking | best of luck | 11:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | henry_, You could do a search for that card; in lieu of that, just start a new thread. | 11:12 |
| henry_ | Thanks both I will wander over to the forum and see what can be done. All a shame as I am desperate to become Microsoft free and it is things like this that stop me! | 11:13 |
| Sidewinder1 | henry_, It can be frustrating at times, but if you patiently persevere, you'll be rewarded, I'm sure. :-) | 11:14 |
| haqking | even if you used MS in a virtual machine, it still needs to be seen in your Host to be virtualised in the guest | 11:17 |
| henry_ | Oh blow! another good Idea squashed | 11:21 |
| haqking | may a i suggest a scsi to USB adapter instead http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/U2SCX.html | 11:24 |
| haqking | any need to use your SCSI card per se, its only for the scanner right ? | 11:24 |
| henry_ | Yes just for the scanner. Been thinking about an adapter they seem expensive at about £60 second hand on ebay especially when I have a card sitting in the machine. Do these adapters all work OK with Ubuntu? | 11:31 |
| haqking | just looking around for a cheaper model | 11:40 |
| haqking | seems cheap in the USA, discontinued alot over here in the UK | 11:40 |
| haqking | yeah if you cant help in the forum then a adapter might be your only option im afraid | 11:42 |
| haqking | *get help | 11:42 |
| henry_ | I think I will watch this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1812231&highlight=adaptec+2940)....seems I am not the only one. The other thing about the adapters is they appear to be slow at 480 Mbi v 1280 Mbit for the scsi | 12:01 |
| haqking | best of luck ;-) | 12:07 |
| haqking | sorry couldnt be of more help on that one | 12:07 |
| Kent | Hey, anyone know of a way that I can automatically bring a particular nautilus window to the front? | 13:01 |
| Kent | Sometimes I have so many windows open that I suddenly want to get back to my nautilus window that's set up how I like it | 13:01 |
| Kent | Can't find a keyboard shortcut for it | 13:02 |
| Kent | hm | 13:07 |
| Kent | hever mind | 13:07 |
| Kent | I found something | 13:07 |
| M0hi | particular window? | 13:11 |
| vohe | hello, can i get information about "usable" programs here? | 14:15 |
| vohe | i look for a calendar program, that can use google-calendar (online, not downloaded ics) AND that is able to print in different ways. (e.g. filofax pages) | 14:17 |
| holstein | vohe: i have often wished google would just do that :/ | 14:18 |
| vohe | holstein: I wish that too. Google could do that, but only in english locals i need that in german! and... | 14:20 |
| vohe | under windows i found "sunbird" that can do some "extra" print formats. There i have to use the add on fgprinters. | 14:21 |
| holstein | i cant imagine sunbird *not* supporting Gcal | 14:21 |
| holstein | http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/ | 14:21 |
| vohe | but sunbird is out of development and fgprinters only work with old versions... | 14:21 |
| holstein | oh... hehe :) | 14:21 |
| vohe | so... what? | 14:21 |
| holstein | you already tried it... | 14:22 |
| vohe | is there any program under ubuntu that can print more than a "month" preview of the calendar files? | 14:22 |
| holstein | is lightning dead? http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/ ? | 14:23 |
| vohe | i tried, evolution, thunderbird... | 14:23 |
| holstein | vohe: i mean, its linux, and its all open, so all of them do whatever you want to make them do... in theory | 14:23 |
| vohe | holstein: yes, in case of print lists - it is dead! | 14:23 |
| holstein | as for in practice, we would just have to try them, and see | 14:23 |
| J4r3d | Hello | 14:57 |
| J4r3d | Is anyone here? | 14:58 |
| holstein | sure | 14:58 |
| holstein | we're all here :) | 14:58 |
| holstein | J4r3d: if you would, take a moment and review the /topic | 14:58 |
| holstein | just type /topic in whenever you join an official support channel | 14:59 |
| holstein | some of them are more strict than others | 14:59 |
| J4r3d | Ah ok. Thank you I was just about to ask how to do that. :) | 14:59 |
| holstein | depending on the chat client you are using, you can sometimes see it easier than other times | 14:59 |
| holstein | i forget what that freenode webchat looks like... | 15:00 |
| J4r3d | I am getting an error. Insufficient arguments for command. I apologize this is my first venture into any sort of chat. | 15:01 |
| holstein | J4r3d: no worries | 15:02 |
| holstein | how did you get here? | 15:02 |
| holstein | is there a webpage? | 15:02 |
| holstein | or just searching through freenode? | 15:02 |
| J4r3d | Yes. I was looking for support on Ubuntu and was directed to this channel. I tried the ubuntu-beginners-team channel but no one was answering. | 15:03 |
| holstein | J4r3d: but, are you in the web browser? | 15:03 |
| holstein | at http://webchat.freenode.net/ ?? | 15:03 |
| J4r3d | Yes. I clicked the link for the channel and thus I ended up here | 15:04 |
| holstein | J4r3d: thats actually good to know | 15:05 |
| holstein | you dont get the topic that way in the webchat... | 15:05 |
| * holstein_test is testing | 15:05 | |
| J4r3d | Ah. I was also looking at downloading xchat to use as my client however I was having trouble figuring out how to download and install it with Ubuntu. | 15:06 |
| holstein | xchat is nice | 15:06 |
| holstein | J4r3d: you can do that in many ways | 15:06 |
| holstein | i would suggest trying the software center if you have that | 15:06 |
| J4r3d | Oh! I forgot about that. Brb. And thank you. :) | 15:07 |
| holstein | sure | 15:07 |
| haqking | yes xchat is in software centre or with sudo apt-get install xchat from terminal | 15:08 |
| J4r3d | Downloading now. Pardon the silly question but what is sudo? | 15:09 |
| haqking | see here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:09 |
| holstein | !sudo | J4r3d | 15:10 |
| ubot2` | J4r3d: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 15:10 |
| haqking | it is for temporary elevating to admin privelege and is preferred method in ubuntu as the root account is disabled by default | 15:10 |
| J4r3d | Ok. Im not sure I understand but I just finished the download of xchat so Im going to boot that up and be back in just a sec. | 15:12 |
| haqking | basically when you want to do something of an admin anture to your system you tell it you have the privelege to do to by prefixing the command with sudo | 15:13 |
| haqking | it will then ask for your password to confirm you really do and checks your account has sudo privelege | 15:13 |
| haqking | then carries it out | 15:13 |
| holstein | J4r3d will be back from xchat soon :) | 15:13 |
| haqking | *admin nature | 15:13 |
| haqking | welcome back j43rd | 15:15 |
| haqking | j4r3d even ;-) | 15:16 |
| j4r3d | Thank you :) | 15:16 |
| j4r3d | Now I understand how the /topic command works. What did you mean by the root account being disabled by default? Perhaps I should do a bit more reading to understand the technical details beforehand? | 15:17 |
| holstein | j4r3d: its not working in the webchat though | 15:18 |
| holstein | /topic | 15:18 |
| holstein | which is good to know... i usually suggest that, and i didnt know it didnt work the same there | 15:18 |
| j4r3d | Ah ok. I put in the command and read up on it. Thank you :). | 15:20 |
| haqking | root is the superuser in linux, in Ubuntu it is disabled and it is preferred to carry out superuser tasks using sudo | 15:21 |
| haqking | which is like being root for a short period without logging in as root and without putting your system in too much danger of messing it up as root | 15:22 |
| j4r3d | Ah ok. That makes sense. Thanks | 15:22 |
| haqking | read the link posted earlier at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:22 |
| Sidewinder1 | j4r3d, Two of my favorite links for learning about ubuntu are: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php And: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 Enjoy! :-) | 15:25 |
| holstein | so, apparently, /topic just doenst work from the webchat... the topic is at the top of the page all the time though | 15:26 |
| j4r3d | I peered at it. Its open on my browser for me to look at later. :) I did have a question though. I decided I wanted to try out Ubuntu before completely getting rid of Windows. So I downloaded and installed it with the Wubi installer. Now that Ive play with it a little bit, Id like to use it to completely replace Windows but Im not sure how to go about that. Do I uninstall Ubuntu first and then reinstall with the task of eradicating Windows while i r | 15:26 |
| j4r3d | einstall? Or is there a way to get rid of Windows and simply boot from Ubuntu? | 15:26 |
| j4r3d | Thanks Sidewinder1 :) Ill be sure to take a look at those. | 15:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | j4r3d, Please see my links above, especially the psychocats one. | 15:27 |
| holstein | you can to whatever really... no reason to keep that wubi install in place though | 15:28 |
| holstein | j4r3d: are you going to wipe windows? | 15:28 |
| j4r3d | I plan on it yes. | 15:28 |
| holstein | if you want to dual boot, i would unistall wubi, then install ubuntu | 15:28 |
| holstein | if you are going to wipe the drive, do whatever you want | 15:28 |
| holstein | nothing about that wubi will prevent that install from happening | 15:29 |
| j4r3d | Hmmm. Ok. | 15:30 |
| Sidewinder1 | j4r3d, You might want to install and dual boot for a while until you're completely comfortable with ubuntu. You can always remove Win at a later date. | 15:30 |
| holstein | yeah, and the only reason i say remove the wubi first is just to clear up the hard drive space, and simplify the process a bit | 15:30 |
| holstein | you dont *have* to do that first | 15:30 |
| holstein | if i were you, i would use the wubi for a few more weeks, then install 11.10 :) | 15:31 |
| Sidewinder1 | j4r3d, One important thing if you need to shrink an NTFS/fat32 partition; make sure to defragment it at least twice prior to shrinking. | 15:31 |
| j4r3d | I think thats actually good advise. I just started using Ubuntu and I think I may have gotten ahead of myself. I will work on becomimg familiar with it before I kill Windows. | 15:35 |
| holstein | j4r3d: also, break that wubi :) | 15:36 |
| holstein | before installing, do some things in there | 15:36 |
| holstein | since you are going to wipe the drive anyways... its better to learn on it | 15:36 |
| * Sidewinder1 Is not a big fan of WUBI; but I guess it serves it's purpose of allowing win. folks to try ubuntu, within the win os. | 15:37 | |
| holstein | yeah... it helped me transition | 15:37 |
| Sidewinder1 | I never used it (wubi), went straight to dual-boot. But I've seen many questions in #u where wubi is the problem. I think the mistake is that folks try to use it on a long term basis. | 15:39 |
| holstein | yup.. it was breaking my LAN on that machine somehow... i forget now | 15:40 |
| j4r3d | I think Ill use Wubi for a couple weeks and then setup a dual boot for windows. | 15:45 |
| Sidewinder1 | Sounds like a plan. :D | 15:47 |

| spartan-11510 | Hi | 17:35 |
| Sidewinder1 | Good Afternoon. | 17:36 |
| spartan-11510 | I need some help for packaging, i'm sorry if my question hav not place here | 17:37 |
| spartan-11510 | I search the minimal option in makefile | 17:38 |
| Sidewinder1 | Are you familiar with this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware?highlight=%28%28CompilingEasyHowTo%29%29 | 17:39 |
| spartan-11510 | No i read that and if i've any question i ask you. Thank you very much | 17:40 |
| Sidewinder1 | spartan-11510, I ask only because I'm not real familiar with compiling software. Also if compiling is your goal, you might be better off asking in #ubuntu, rather than a beginners channel. | 17:41 |
| Sidewinder1 | Hope it helped. :-) | 17:42 |
| spartan-11510 | Ok thank you very much ;) | 17:42 |
| Sidewinder1 | You're welcome. | 17:42 |
| tdn | How do I change system language (menus and the like) to Danish? | 18:29 |
| urlin2u | tdn, your on which release, in Natty look at language support I believe. | 18:32 |
| tdn | urlin2u, lucid | 18:36 |
| tdn | urlin2u, LTS | 18:36 |
| tdn | urlin2u, I would really like to do it from command line if possible. And for all users. | 18:36 |
| urlin2u | I haven't used lucid in a long time, and am not really sure to be honest, the #ubuntu channel is a bit busier you might try there as well | 18:38 |
| tdn | Ok | 18:39 |
