| ed_____ | Hi I'm new to using Unbuntu and having a problem logging in. Is this the right place to get assistance? | 06:25 |
| urlin2u | ed_____, sure the main channel #ubuntu is a bit busier and another option, what is the login problem? | 06:27 |
| ed_____ | Thanks, when I try and log in I get the following error: "Could not update ICEauthority file/home/ibok/.ICEauthority" | 06:28 |
| urlin2u | ed_____, better try the main channel I'm not sure there. | 06:29 |
| ed_____ | ok thanks | 06:29 |

| M0hi | urlin2u: I think people here still do help issues | 06:38 |
| urlin2u | M0hi, I know but nobody answered, just getting the user to an answer. | 06:38 |

| M0hi | urlin2u: I think that would have helped him | 06:40 |
| urlin2u | and your point they are gone and it was posted after they left. | 06:41 |
| urlin2u | you were here why didn't you post it when needed? | 06:42 |
| M0hi | urlin2u: kindly see who posted it. It was posted by Unit193 exactly 11 minutes before | 06:42 |
| Unit193 | urlin2u: I did, right before philipballew joined | 06:43 |
| M0hi | I am not going to talk about it anymore | 06:43 |
| Unit193 | Doesn't matter really, he got what he needed from #ubuntu | 06:43 |
| urlin2u | exactly, and it is their option, the topic says use either channels | 06:44 |
| philipballew | #ubuntu is not a bad place | 06:45 |
| Unit193 | I agree with the opinion bug 392799 | 06:46 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 392799 in ubuntu-community "#ubuntu too noisy to be useful" [Medium,Opinion] https://launchpad.net/bugs/392799 | 06:46 |
| philipballew | Unit193, I have had that problem | 06:47 |
| Unit193 | philipballew: I haven't | 06:47 |
| M0hi | +1 right away ;) | 06:47 |
| M0hi | I felt hard to help one there. coz the people seeking help dont know that we will get pinged if they say our nick. and its hard to catch who talked when and what is his next line. If I type this much lengthy para, then I will nearly miss his major points of the issue :P | 06:49 |
| philipballew | in #ubuntu its hard to have a conversation. its more heres your answer now im gonna move on | 06:49 |

| tdn | How do I install Danish spellchecking for Thunderbird? What package should I install? | 09:01 |
| tdn | I have already installed thunderbird-locale-da, however, this does not make Danish language available in spellchecking. | 09:03 |
| Snicksie | maybe you should install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/dansk-ordbog/ tdn ? | 09:09 |
| tdn | I think I already did. If I look in addons > language: I see Danish dict installed. However, it does not appear in the spellcheck language menu. | 09:54 |

| drewbb | Not sure how this works but... is this the palce to ask questions? | 12:26 |
| Snicksie | this is one of the places to ask questions about ubuntu... #ubuntu is also a place to ask questions about ubuntu, but here are less people, so less talk but also less answers :) | 12:28 |
| drewbb | OK thanks | 12:29 |
| drewbb | So i have a question about right clicking to sync a folder with U1 but I don't have the option, I know it exists | 12:30 |
| Snicksie | do you have your ubuntu one configured? if it's not configured it won't work ;) | 12:31 |
| drewbb | installed via synaptic, account created access via the web but no joy | 12:31 |
| drewbb | Oh the folder is in my home directory | 12:32 |
| bobobobob | is there a way to delete a post on freenode...I had a oopsy | 14:01 |
| bobobobob | or I guess I could delete a pastebin | 14:01 |
| ashams | bobobobob: i think there's no way, sorry :( | 14:01 |
| bobobobob | no worries, I guess, it goes out of scope tomorrow.... | 14:02 |
| bobobobob | LOL | 14:02 |
| ashams | don't worry, it go out of scope with all of us ;) | 14:03 |
| bobobobob | lol | 14:03 |
| ashams | :D | 14:03 |
| battousai9439 | Sooooo I've got a teeny bit of a problem. I've got my Ubuntu box in the middle of an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10. All was going fine, I opened the terminal dropdown so I can watch the process fly by, like I normally do. Then a window popped up to have me accept some terms and conditions, no biggie normally. | 18:03 |
| battousai9439 | But the window popped up behind the upgrade window, and the "next" button (at least I assume that is what it says) is behind the terminal area of the upgrade window. So I clicked to try and bring the license window to the foreground, nothing happened. I tried to roll the terminal back up into the upgrade window, nothing. | 18:05 |
| battousai9439 | I tried tabbing through the other window to get to the buttons that are hidden, and nothing. I opened a separate terminal to test my keyboard and it isn't responding. Tried reconnecting it (USB), and nothing, not even numlock light or anything will come on or respond. | 18:06 |
| battousai9439 | I'm not running compiz or anything, so I believe that is ruled out. I've dug around on the forums and elsewhere, but nothing similar to this issue popped up. | 18:07 |
| battousai9439 | If anyone has any sort of idea as to a method to click that stupid button, I'd REALLY appreciate it. | 18:07 |
| battousai9439 | Oh, and minimizing, maximizing, the works... none of them work all of a sudden, either. | 18:08 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | battousai9439, do you remember the contents of the popup window where you pressed next? | 18:14 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | soe words/package names? | 18:14 |
| battousai9439 | Sorry if I haven't been clear, but I haven't pressed the "next" button because it's hidden behind the terminal rollout, and I can't get the window containing the button to the foreground. But the package it's working on is ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.2 | 18:15 |
| battousai9439 | And that's where I'm stuck | 18:16 |
| battousai9439 | Man, I still haven't found a way around this and I don't want to shut down anything mid-install | 19:46 |
| urlin2u | battousai9439, can you repost the problem? | 19:46 |
| battousai9439 | Yeah, can do, I'll just copy paste, one second | 19:47 |
| battousai9439 | I've got my Ubuntu box in the middle of an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10. All was going fine, I opened the terminal dropdown so I can watch the process fly by, like I normally do. Then a window popped up to have me accept some terms and conditions. | 19:47 |
| battousai9439 | But the window popped up behind the upgrade window, and the "next" button (at least I assume that is what it says) is behind the terminal area of the upgrade window. So I clicked to try and bring the license window to the foreground, nothing happened. I tried to roll the terminal back up into the upgrade window, nothing happens, it stays down. | 19:47 |
| battousai9439 | I tried tabbing through the other window to get to the buttons that are hidden, and nothing. I opened a separate terminal to test my keyboard and it isn't responding. Tried reconnecting it (USB), and nothing, not even numlock light or anything will come on or respond. | 19:47 |
| battousai9439 | I'm not running compiz or anything, so I believe that is ruled out. I've dug around on the forums and elsewhere, but nothing similar to this issue popped up. | 19:47 |
| battousai9439 | I've tried just about every trick I remember but none of them has worked, ugh. | 19:48 |
| urlin2u | can you press the alt button and move any windows with the mouse? | 19:48 |
| battousai9439 | Nope, nothing will move. I can highlight text and everything in each window, but the buttons are behind the terminal rollout and I can't get behind it | 19:49 |
| battousai9439 | Minimize/maximize are out too | 19:49 |
| urlin2u | is it even started the upgrade, this "accept some terms and conditions" is it the start to start the upgrade, I never upggrade so just asking. | 19:52 |
| battousai9439 | Yeah it's about 60% done installing new packages | 19:53 |
| battousai9439 | So it's just one for a packages | 19:53 |
| battousai9439 | *package | 19:53 |
| battousai9439 | The package in question is ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.2 | 19:54 |
| battousai9439 | Okay seems like my window manager is closed, 'cause I opened up several new windows and I can't move them, maximize them, and the title bars are all missing | 19:54 |
| urlin2u | that is no big deal it is installed with twe restricted extras I believe | 19:54 |
| battousai9439 | Problem being I'm completely frozen in the process, I can't cancel it or continue | 19:55 |
| battousai9439 | I'm a little apprehensive about hard resetting too, of course | 19:55 |
| urlin2u | battousai9439, I wouldn't hard reset that could be a big break, since nothing is working, to get to it I would just follow what happens I doubt that you will have a problem to be honest, the more you peck at it the more likely you will have a problem IMHO | 19:57 |
| battousai9439 | Well seeing as I can't do anything to terminate OR continue the process, I'm pretty much stuck | 19:58 |
| battousai9439 | Well, can't imagine it would destroy my filesystem or anything if it's just installing a font package | 19:58 |
| battousai9439 | The files in my /home directory are things I'd rather keep, but the OS isn't anything I'm desperate to save at all, it can just be reinstalled since it's pretty much unmodified | 19:59 |
| urlin2u | your still upgrading it has not stopped that I doubt any problems will happen. | 19:59 |
| urlin2u | I can understand your nervousness though. :D | 20:00 |
| battousai9439 | All package installation is waiting on me to click this button before it goes any further, actually | 20:00 |
| battousai9439 | The whole 10.10 upgrade is about 60% installed | 20:00 |
| urlin2u | 60% installed or downloaded? | 20:01 |
| battousai9439 | Installed | 20:01 |
| battousai9439 | Everything's downloaded | 20:01 |
| battousai9439 | Well screw it, let's just see what happens. Worst case I reinstall the OS | 20:01 |
| urlin2u | not sure really, in the future clone any OS you upgrade that would be my fix. | 20:02 |
| battousai9439 | Yeah but that would involve having the hardware to do so | 20:02 |
| battousai9439 | It's like how everyone says "BACK UP EVERYTHING" - be nice, but I don't have the resources | 20:02 |
| urlin2u | battousai9439, you only need a cd and a place to store it at least for clonezilla | 20:03 |
| battousai9439 | Pfft, I restart and yeah, there's an issue with GNOME of course, but then it says "UPGRADE TO 11.04" in a new window? Haha okay let's just try this all then. | 20:03 |
| urlin2u | hold on | 20:04 |
| battousai9439 | Eh, I'm working in "will it break? Let's find out" territory at this point anyway, I figure | 20:04 |
| urlin2u | run this in the terminal it may restart any unfinished downloads. sudo apt-get -f install | 20:05 |
| urlin2u | you would not want to try to upgrade to natty without a full update and upgrade in maverick | 20:06 |
| urlin2u | see if the command works if so just run a regular update upgrade then | 20:07 |
| urlin2u | after the first command finishes | 20:07 |
| battousai9439 | "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to continue" | 20:08 |
| battousai9439 | Uhhh | 20:08 |
| urlin2u | try that then the second command | 20:08 |
| battousai9439 | Well do what it says I figure | 20:08 |
| battousai9439 | lol | 20:08 |
| battousai9439 | Yeah it's just screaming along now, giving tons of errors for things that weren't totally installed, but hey, it's doing something at least | 20:09 |
| ScottSanbar | urlin2u: Is it the terminal window that is in front of the upgrade window? If so, just find out which process is the terminal window and kill it, then the terminal window will disappear, and you can get at the button behind it??? | 20:09 |
| ScottSanbar | urlin2u: Oh, sorry - I guess I am too late ... | 20:10 |
| urlin2u | ScottSanbar, I think they restarted, or rebooted. | 20:10 |
| battousai9439 | No, the terminal I had open was integrated into the upgrade manager, and yes, rebooted into a root shell, things moving along now at least | 20:10 |
| battousai9439 | Like I said, worst case we just reinstall the OS, no major loss but an hour | 20:10 |
| ScottSanbar | battousai9439: Ok, I see - well, I tried :) | 20:11 |
| battousai9439 | Well, I guess I'll take it from here and reference good ol' Google if more problems arise | 20:11 |
| battousai9439 | Thanks for all the help, guys | 20:11 |
| urlin2u | battousai9439, cool, you have a good attitude about it. | 20:11 |
| battousai9439 | Yeah, things break, I'm used to it | 20:11 |
| ScottSanbar | Good Luck, battousai9439!!!! | 20:11 |
| battousai9439 | Problem is just that I can do most everything you'd ever need to an OS... if it's Windows | 20:11 |
| battousai9439 | Well, I'm just gonna idle and switch my attention to the other box | 20:12 |
| battousai9439 | Thanks again! | 20:12 |
| ScottSanbar | battousai9439: Maybe ssh into linux box from Windows PC, tarball your critical files and ftp to Windows box before doing anything drastic???? | 20:15 |
| ScottSanbar | (as a backup) | 20:15 |
| battousai9439 | Nah, I'm back in GNOME and installing packages and upgrades just fine after a few more magic buttons. | 20:20 |
| battousai9439 | "There are no updates to install" - Perfect, 10.10 is up | 20:21 |
| battousai9439 | NOW we can try this a second time without the failure. | 20:21 |
| urlin2u | good luck | 20:22 |
| urlin2u | :d | 20:22 |
| ScottSanbar | batousai9439: battousa9439: Great! Good luck! | 20:25 |
| battousai9439 | Be nice to get an Ubuntu setup on my Windows box since it's much nicer, maybe I could chop down one of the Windows partitions soon. I'm sure I could get rid of half of these files onto optical media of some sort. | 20:26 |
| battousai9439 | P4 3.06 GHz HT, 512MB RAM, and a 15" 10+ year old CRT vs | 20:27 |
| urlin2u | battousai9439, just be aware if you do the limitations of how many partitions on a single HD 4 primaries or 3 and a extended, for the linux | 20:28 |
| battousai9439 | Core2 Duo 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM, 24" LCD | 20:28 |
| battousai9439 | Yep, I'm aware | 20:28 |
| battousai9439 | I'm gonna have to get clever to stay within limits, but yeah, it's more than doable | 20:28 |
| battousai9439 | I'd dump XP, but I actually do need it | 20:29 |
| battousai9439 | Well, I suppose I could use the VM in 7, but it's just not as useful, really. | 20:29 |
| battousai9439 | Eh, not like there isn't other XP boxes in the house though | 20:29 |
| battousai9439 | Mostly this box is just a file server anyway | 20:31 |
| battousai9439 | Huh. | 20:40 |
| ScottSanbar | apt-get ftp | 21:06 |
| ScottSanbar | (sorry - wrong teriminal window - embarrassed ... ) | 21:06 |
| battousai9439 | No wonder everything looked so small | 21:33 |
| battousai9439 | I had somehow gotten back to 800x600 res | 21:33 |
| Artem | Hi | 22:13 |
