[03:30] <savydreams> If I have ubuntu installed from the wubi, is there any way to nuke windows without losing ubuntu?
[03:41] <urlin2u> no it is inside windows but you can move it to a partition so you can nuke

[03:43] <savydreams> Thank you urlin2u, looking now
[03:43] <savydreams> (And thank you for answering at all)
[03:44] <urlin2u> savydreams, no problem this channel gets a bit quite at times, so if so you can always try #ubuntu
[03:45] <savydreams> Yes, I did.
[03:45] <urlin2u> cool
[03:47] <savydreams> We're going to put in a new drive, should it be one large ext3 partion, or broken into swap and whatnot?
[03:48] <urlin2u> savydreams, I would use a ext4 logical inside a extended partition, this will allow you to go past the 4 primaries on a standard HD if yiou want to install more OS's
[03:49] <urlin2u> windows wont boot from a extended though just so you know

[10:22] <M0hi> shahan: explain
[10:24] <shahan> M0hi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/694369/
[10:26] <M0hi> shahan: run the commands I say
[10:26] <M0hi> sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
[10:26] <M0hi> sudo apt-get update
[10:27] <M0hi> shahan: FYI http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1754133.html thats the link that helped

[10:30] <shahan> M0hi: ya.. its has updated. Will I run the command now? sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[10:32] <philinux> o/
[10:39] <M0hi> shahan: Sorry for the delay. yes try it
[10:39] <M0hi> philinux: how is life?
[10:39] <M0hi> philinux: and became less active in forums?
[10:39] <M0hi> I am not seeing you there often
[10:41] <philinux> In the forums I'm moderating so I only post occasionally. I post in ubuntu +1
[10:41] <M0hi> ah! Okies
[10:41] <M0hi> How is life Phill?

[10:43] <M0hi> for offtopic
[10:43] <philinux> M0hi: I've got enough on at the moment but I'll pop in there too.
[10:45] <philinux> M0hi: I'm just chrooting into my oneiric install and updating it.
[10:46] <M0hi> Do you feel anything odd in 11.10 ?
[10:48] <philinux> M0hi: in what way odd?
[10:49] <M0hi> In appearance and the processing? coz my processor always runs at a minimum of 40 % even if I am not doing anything. Already saw a bug related to that
[10:52] <philinux> M0hi: well it is still beta. Seems to run fine here. I used to used a gnome applet to monitor processor in the top panel. Had to change to conky and it works really well.
[10:52] <M0hi> ah! okies

[11:36] <geirha> Make sure you are not running any other apt-programs. Only one can run at a time.
[11:36] <Guest82027> M0hi: how to identify?
[11:37] <shahan> M0hi: wow
[11:37] <M0hi> lol Guest82027 after changing the nick to shahan, do /ns identify <pass>

[11:37] <M0hi> you can also check in system monitor

[11:38] <Guest55360> M0hi: check the link
 Make sure you are not running any other apt-programs. Only one can run at a time.
 do what geirha says
[11:38] <M0hi> Guest55360: ^
[11:39] <M0hi> sorryf or the ping geir ha
[11:39] <Guest55360> http://paste.ubuntu.com/694400/
[11:41] <geirha> Yes, you've shown us that three times now
[11:41] <Guest55360> geirha: what can I do now? http://paste.ubuntu.com/694400/
[11:44] <geirha> Guest55360: ... make sure you're not running any other package manager programs
[11:44] <Guest55360> geirha: ya. I am sure
[11:44] <Guest55360> ok... let me GOOGLE the problem
[11:44] <geirha> ps -ef | grep -i '[a]pt'
[11:44] <geirha> meh
[11:51] <M0hi> Grrrrr!!!
[11:51] <M0hi> I think his machine got shut down. He is not in Google talk too
[11:52] <Rahi> geirha: Hello This is shahan
[11:52] <Rahi> geirha: back again
[11:52] <Guest24417> geirha: I have restarted the PC
[11:52] <geirha> Guest24417: See if this outputs anything    ps -ef | grep -i '[a]pt'
[11:53] <Guest24417> geirha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/694410/
[11:53] <Guest24417> let me check your  code
[11:54] <geirha> Guest24417: Ok, so apparently there was an apt program running, possibly in the background, when you restarted your computer
[11:54] <geirha> Now you need to run    sudo dpkg --configure -a   to fix what the reboot broke.
[11:55] <Guest24417> geirha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/694411/ your code output
[11:57] <M0hi> Guest24417: run sudo dpkg --configure -a as he mentioned
[11:58] <geirha> Looks like something is running in the background there. Possibly some process that tries to grab package lists from all repositories.
[15:24] <s-fox> Hello.
[20:54] <XeKaaz> Good Evening.
[20:57] <XeKaaz> I wonder if anyone could answer the question I'm asking in Ubuntu forums, url: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1847883
[20:58] <XeKaaz> It'd be very much appreciated.
[21:14] <geirha> Installing the version of wine in Ubuntu's repositories, is probably good enough. Try installing D2 and see if it works.
[21:18] <geirha> XeKaaz: When you have a "ppa:..." line for a repository you want to add, go to the Software Center, from the menu choose Edit -> Software Sources, go to the Other Software tab, click Add and paste in the ppa:... line.
[21:25] <XeKaaz> geirha: Thanks! I'll try it this instant
[21:56] <XeKaaz> geirha: Hm, well that failed. I fallowed the advice given in the thread and here. Put in the cd, ran through wine, still the problem with it believing it wasn't the install cd still occurs. Got any ideas? I'm going to post this on the forum aswell.
[22:03] <geirha> XeKaaz: Run winecfg and in the Drives tab, add a D: that points to where the CD is mounted (typically  /media/NAMEOFCD) ... to make the installer think D: is a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM device
[22:03] <geirha> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=49
[22:03] <XeKaaz> Ah. I shall, I was just about to tell you that I'm trying this "playonlinux" package, see how that works out, but if it doesn't. I'll try it :)
[22:04] <geirha> XeKaaz: Yeah, playonlinux will probably set that up for you
[22:05] <XeKaaz> Yeah, I'm a victim of the windows syndrome.
[22:05] <XeKaaz> Ugh..
[22:07] <geirha> Life would be so much easier if all software manufacturers also supported Linux, not just Windows and/or Mac.
[22:07] <XeKaaz> Exactly.
[22:08] <XeKaaz> But would you care to explain the different versions in a simple way, I mean the versions of Ubuntu, like the Maverick build and all the others. Gee... all I know is that I have Ubuntu 11.04
[22:08] <XeKaaz> You seem to understand my problems, and you're quite helpful, that's why I'm asking you.
[22:10] <geirha> 11.04 means it was released year 2011, month 04
[22:10] <XeKaaz> Oh!
[22:10] <geirha> There's a release every 6 months
[22:11] <XeKaaz> So what about Maverick, Lucid, Karmic and other versions I spot names of?
[22:12] <XeKaaz> Last time I was in contact with linux was about 5 years ago, an early version of Kubuntu at a friends house >.>
[22:12] <geirha> Each release gets a codename, Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot
[22:12] <XeKaaz> Oh
[22:13] <XeKaaz> That was easier then I thought. Thanks!
[22:13] <geirha> Some prefer to refer to a release with the release number, others with the adjective of the codename.
[22:13] <XeKaaz> Ok, so I'm supposed to go for the "Natty" examples and guides then?
[22:14] <geirha> Yes
[22:16] <geirha> When there's a newer Ubuntu release available, you get an option in the update-manager, allowing you to upgrade to the next release.
[22:17] <XeKaaz> Ok, that's neat.
[22:17] <geirha> And since a release is only supported 1.5 years, you generally have to upgrade every six months.
[22:18] <XeKaaz> Well, that's a fair price to pay.
[22:18] <geirha> There is an exception though. Every fourth release is a Long Term Support (LTS) release.
[22:18] <XeKaaz> Ok, did 11.04 happend to be one of theese?
[22:18] <geirha> The current one is 10.04 Lucid Lynx. LTS releases are supported for 3 years, and you can upgrade directly from one LTS release to the next LTS, skipping 3 releases.
[22:19] <XeKaaz> Ah
[22:20] <XeKaaz> Hm... I just installed playonlinux through my terminal (fallowed instructions on playonlinux.com) and I'm not sure if it's done or not.
[22:20] <XeKaaz> last status is "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place"
[22:20] <XeKaaz> here's the few rows of last traceback
[22:21] <geirha> Hit the Windows button on your keyboard and type in "play", see if it suggests play on linux.
[22:21] <XeKaaz> ok
[22:21] <geirha> Yeah, ldconfig is often done at the end of a package installation.
[22:21] <XeKaaz> Ok
[22:22] <XeKaaz> Yeah, it came up. Fixing the last bits now :)
[22:22] <XeKaaz> Heh, it's fucking terrible getting through all of this in my native language, the support sucks. Get's through way faster in english.
