[00:07] Niya: /3 [00:07] oops === ashams1 is now known as ashams [01:29] having an error after first reboot trying to get my monitors to un-mirror === ashams1 is now known as ashams [02:32] A quick query. If I am mid-distribution upgrade, is it possible to hibernate my computer without completely screwing the process? I need to have the computer powered down in the next ten minutes in order for an electrician to work on the property. [02:47] tabaxter_: there isn't really a safe way to do that, no (unless you're still in just the download phase) [02:50] pleia2: I'm not, unfortunately. Thanks. is there a way that is more likely to result in a usable system? [02:51] tabaxter_: not really, in the middle of an upgrade lots of things will be half configured and such :\ [02:51] it may not be bootable if you shut it down in the middle [02:54] pleia2: If I do break it, would I be able to do an upgrade with a live CD to fix it? [02:54] hard to say, doubtful [02:54] you may be able to debug what is wrong with a livecd and bring the system back up so you can complete the upgrade, but even that is dicey [02:54] and if things really go bad you can use the livecd to make a backup of your data at least so you can reinstall [02:56] most of my valuable data is in dropbox/ubuntuone, so I'm not too concerned there. the big problem is my printer, etc. config and a number of apps which I'd have to reinstall and reconfigure. [02:57] Do you know if I can stop it once it has reached the cleaning up stage? [02:58] pleia2 [02:59] tabaxter_: stopping it any time in the upgrade process is risky (sorry, I'm at work, can't reply immediately) [03:01] pleia2: no, that's okay. I wasn't intending to be pushy. I was just making sure it gave an alert and you didn't think I hadn't replied. Thanks heaps. I'll just have to try to keep him occupied on other needless tasks for a while. [03:40] bodhizazen: /j -team [03:53] good lord, 87 [03:54] bodhizazen: Congrats and have a nice time with the list :P [03:56] Hi, does anybody here happen to use the search-app (similar to gnome-do) synapse? If so; in order for synapse to find anything in a certain music folder I always have to have opened a files from the folder previously, do you know if there's a way to tell synapse to index several folders without having to open a file in them? [04:09] Kewl === Ukikie is now known as Unit193 [06:06] Hello all [06:07] Hi [06:09] hi Mohi.. [06:09] how r u# [12:06] is there a way to limit the bandwidth globally on the whole computer, i want to do an upgrade but at the same time i don't want my pc to eat up the whole bandwidth while doing so [12:07] Chew on the internet cable [12:08] I'm not sure how. ##networking might know of some software you can use to achieve that. [12:09] tried to install skype, didn't launch, trying to reinstall getting"Breaks existing package 'skype' conflict: skype ( )" [12:10] think I tried to install 32 instead of 64 === TheDaniel0108 is now known as Daniel0108 [13:46] Hi there I was wondering if some one could help me with using sed [13:47] bobweaver: Sure. [13:47] under /usr/share/applications/bob I have a bunch of files [13:48] which is good [13:48] but how do I use sed to change all the gnome-terminal | konsole ? [13:49] changing out words with sed :>) [13:49] Change gnome-terminal or konsole to what? [13:49] can't u just replace with nano ? [13:49] gnome-terminal to konsole [13:50] Well, for editing files I generally prefer to use a file editor, not sed. [13:50] there are 700 + so using nano [13:50] for file in /usr/share/applications/bob/*; do printf '%s\n' 'g/gnome-terminal/s//konsole/g' w | ed -s "$file"; done [13:51] What's bob? [13:51] Riviera: thats my name [13:51] Nice to meet you, Bob. [13:51] :>) [13:51] you too [13:51] You have a directory with your name in /usr/share/applications? [13:51] in nano u can do a ctrl+w to find, then ctrl+r to replace, then write the word to use, then the word to replace, then shift +A to replace all, just saying lol [13:52] What does that do there? [13:52] o u mean u have 700+ files, not occrences? [13:52] let me show you guys ls /usr/share/application/bob [13:53] thanks [13:53] i hope ur planning to use pastebin [13:53] lol [13:53] And I hope you did not miss geirha's solution to your problem. [13:53] i really need to read sed's man [13:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/713227/ [13:54] coalwater: /topic ##sed [13:54] coalwater: The sedintro there is quite nice. [13:54] ok ty [13:54] as you can see I have been using nano but there is just so many [13:55] Hm, but what is that? [13:55] You can put desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications btw [13:55] I also need to change all the things that say bob into opt [13:55] Shouldn't files like these be stored in ~/.local/share/applications? [13:56] ?? [13:56] /ect/.local.share/applications [13:56] /ect/.local/share/applications [13:56] You generally shouldn't modify anything under /usr, except for /usr/local [13:56] /topic ##sed [13:56] geirha: wjy not ? [13:57] woops lol [13:57] Your homedir is /ect? [13:57] no [13:57] bobweaver: To stay out of the way of the package manager [13:58] if I want to change for good(after using remastersys) I have to change in thouse files [13:58] I see [14:02] early here I just put the cup of coffee under the coffee pot and he coffee pot in the microwave I think that I should drink some coffee before going any further :>) [15:05] 'lo Lorizean [15:15] i try install ubuntu on my laptop but its say bootmgr is missing, what i need to do?? [15:20] SuicideSheep: seems like you dont have a boot manager [15:20] SuicideSheep: talk about your setup... dualbooting, whatever... what you used to install [15:21] when i google 'ubuntu bootmgr missing' i get to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=829456 which might be helpful [15:21] but i have windows on my laptop [15:21] so i have boot manager for sure [15:22] the windows boot loader wont boot anything but windows AFAIK [15:22] so how i can boot linux [15:23] SuicideSheep: lots of ways... hte default is that GRUB is installed when you install [15:23] SuicideSheep: you are wanting to dual boot some version of ubuntu with some version of windows? [15:23] what versions? [15:23] yes [15:23] win 7 [15:23] and how are you trying to install said version of ubuntu? USB? a live CD? [15:23] ubuntu 11 04 [15:23] usb [15:24] SuicideSheep: ubuntu 11.10 is out now as well [15:24] FYI [15:24] ok [15:24] but if i cant install 11 04 [15:24] SuicideSheep: if it were my machine, i would boot a live CD, and i would look at the hard drive... i would want to see the windows partition, and the linux partition/partitions [15:24] i cant 11 10 too [15:25] then, if all is looking as expected, and its just GRUB that is missing, i would use [15:25] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2 [15:25] i did not install linux yet [15:25] to reinstall grub using that live CD [15:25] becouse i cant [15:25] SuicideSheep: you'll need to elaborate on why you cant [15:26] if you are getting that error when booting the USB installation stick you made, then... [15:26] i suggest using unetbootin [15:26] http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [15:26] that *always* works for me, where the other tools occasionally fail [15:26] i used him [15:26] i would suggest formating the USB stick as well [15:27] and, you can also confirm the downloaded iso image has no errors [15:27] i tryed make usb bootable with cmd and with programs [15:27] but all say bootmgr is missing [15:27] SuicedeSheep, I think you should your Win 7 recovery CD again to fix the problem., :D [15:27] win 7 works normaly [15:27] SuicideSheep: right.. so *now* you format the USB stick, and try wht unetbootin [15:27] with* [15:27] SuicideSheep: have you tried that? [15:27] i tryed 10 min ago [15:28] formatting the usb stick? [15:28] then creating with unetbootin? [15:28] SuicideSheep: did you confirm the downloaded iso image is not corrupt as well? [15:28] ameer-ahmad: the computer is not broken, thats what i first though when i read the post [15:28] i tryed install ubuntu and openSUSE both bootmgr miss [15:29] its the USB stick thats not booting [15:29] usb and cd [15:29] SuicideSheep: right, but did you actually confirm the downloaded images? [15:29] that is a constant in your scenario, your internet connection that you use to download the images (or so i am assuming) [15:30] yes i did [15:30] SuicideSheep: so, on your machine, it wont boot USB or CD, correct? [15:30] have you tried something more simple, like a gparted live CD? [15:31] have you checked *all* the settings in your bios? [15:33] SuicideSheep: what machine is it? maybe we can google around about that specific model and learn something helpful [15:35] hp [15:36] envy [15:36] SuicideSheep, I think this would have help you solve the problem, http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/bootorderchange.htm [15:37] SuicideSheep: same again? [15:37] yes [15:37] you mean, a gparted live CD gives the same error? [15:37] what is the same again? [15:37] 11.10? [15:38] the only constant i can see here is that machine unfortunately [15:38] is there something in the bios that locks that feature down? [15:38] idk [15:38] i tryed install ubuntu inside windows [15:38] but i get some eror [15:39] http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-systems-and/Booting-Ubuntu-10-10-LiveUSB-on-Envy-15/td-p/470921 [15:39] win32 or something like this [15:39] SuicideSheep, you means by wubi install? [15:39] yes [15:39] SuicideSheep: if it wont boot *any* live CD's, then this is not an ubuntu issue... i think you'll save some time going ahead and researching why that particular machine wont boot USB or CD [15:41] i will now try install it with wubi [15:41] ubuntu 11 10 [15:41] SuicideSheep: ? [15:41] i thougth wubi fails as well? [15:41] and if i get the error i will ss and send here [15:41] 11 04 [15:41] but i didnt try 11 10 [15:41] your machine is not booting live media, that is the issue [15:41] I never try install ubuntus with wubi installation methode in my life., [15:41] ive used wubi before [15:42] SuicideSheep: mabye this is some corporate machine? something you got from that environment? with something added to 'lock down' booting other installation media? [15:43] All I've done is that Live CD/ liveusb [15:43] hmm [15:43] this windows are hp edition [15:43] so... [15:43] maybe they block other os [15:43] it could be something that got added after the fact [15:43] LF help. fresh ubuntu 11.10 logged in and my desctop is gone. all i see is a gray line on top of screen with the text arkive and so on [15:44] if it were my machine, i would take the hard drive out, and mess with it til it boots a live CD [15:44] the problem is that i am not home [15:44] jesper_: how did it boot live? any graphics problems? have you used linux on that machine in the past? [15:45] i need linux for college [15:45] SuicideSheep: run it in virtualbox [15:45] holstein: ye i have had ubuntu earlier just wanted a fresh install [15:45] i think i will need [15:45] but that will be my last option [15:46] SuicideSheep: i could be wrong, but this will tell you exactly what the issue is... take the hard drive out temporarily [15:46] then, you'll know that its the machine/bios [15:46] SuicideSheep: can you get into the bios on your HP E [15:47] jesper_: i would also take that machine, and see what it takes to get to the desktop with a live CD... nomodeset, or whatever 'safe graphics' options [15:47] you can always add a custom xorg.conf file at that point too, assuming you need that [15:48] holstein: why? i think it can be some problems with the ati driver i installed from amd.com [15:49] jesper_: yup, thats what im thinking as well... graphics driver issues [15:49] yes i can [15:50] holstein: is there a command to remove it in terminal? [15:50] jesper_: there should be a readme file in the downloaded pacakge [15:50] i usually just use the one in the repos whenever possible [15:52] good luck guys, i gotta run :) [15:52] bb [15:52] tnx [15:52] can i install the repo driver in terminal? [15:53] SuicideSheep: Can you change the boot order under the advanced tab? [15:53] cprofitt: hi do you know sed well ? [15:54] I do not [15:54] Dr. Anderson does though [15:55] yes i can [15:55] i put usb on first place [15:55] Thanks cprofitt [15:56] cprofitt: he is the one that did the regex talk ?
