| Zaragon | Wubi questions: I just ain't getting it. If I read correctly, Wubi (1) installs Ubuntu inside Windows (2) installs Grub 2. Does Ubuntu then run inside Windows...Does Windows anti-virus still operate when running Ubuntu? On Wubi uninstall does Grub get deleted? Does Wubi install slow Win7 down enough to bother gaming? | 07:55 |
|---|---|---|
| M0hi | Zaragon: Yes, Ubuntu runs inside windows like an application you install in your windows | 08:03 |
| M0hi | Wubi install has no direct relationship with slowing down your machine. It depends on your machine capacity to load the Ubuntu OS | 08:04 |
| Snicksie | not anymore as far as I know M0hi :) it installes inside the windows-installation, but you can choose at boot-time what to boot | 08:04 |
| M0hi | I always prefer to install separately though | 08:04 |
| Snicksie | not anymore just a virtual machine... :) | 08:04 |
| Snicksie | it adds itself to the windows boot menu :) | 08:05 |
| M0hi | Snicksie: Ubuntu will boot. But still Ubuntu will be like an application which you can find listed in add/remove programs. (I am not sure. I've tried it before 2 years) | 08:05 |
| Snicksie | 2 years ago, it was... :) | 08:06 |
| M0hi | Okay then. My bad ;) | 08:06 |
| Snicksie | i guess you can still remove it via the programs, it installs on the windows disk, but it boots completely seperately, NOT inside windows... | 08:07 |
| Snicksie | but still a seperate installation is preferable ;) | 08:07 |
| Zaragon | I have tried Ubuntu several times before....Had trouble with Logitech drivers.....Also, Wubi page mentions Grub... | 08:07 |
| Zaragon | Grub installed in MBR...I didn't think Win7 has MBR | 08:09 |
| M0hi | Windows boot loader is there though. I think you can bring Win X back after removal | 08:09 |
| M0hi | I am not sure as I never tried removing my *Buntus =) | 08:10 |
| Zaragon | It's better that way, M0hi....painful | 08:10 |
| Zaragon | and you can't sit down for about a week | 08:11 |
| M0hi | Zaragon: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/how-do-you-remove-ubuntu-and-grub/42d3f550-bf5f-459d-94ed-4cbadd7c933c | 08:13 |
| Zaragon | I read that Wubi installs to a virtual disk...I thought one needed a running OS to have those...am I wrong? | 08:13 |
| M0hi | Virtual disk = some space in your C drive if you are using wubi. Snicksie any explanations? :P | 08:14 |
| Zaragon | Thats why I was thinking Wubi, M0hi...to avoid that article | 08:14 |
| M0hi | But why you have to remove Ubuntu from your machine? | 08:15 |
| M0hi | oh! Logitech issues | 08:15 |
| Zaragon | 20 years of rock cllimbing toasted the joints in my hands...now I use keyboard and mouse from Logitech....very programable.....makes typing doable | 08:17 |
| M0hi | I can understand | 08:21 |
| Zaragon | Ergo, I want to see how far I can push Lolgitech with 3rd party progs available for linux...If I can't push it far enough, its useless on my machine...I would then want to get rid of it and still be able to sit down | 08:24 |
| Zaragon | to distill my questions......BIOS sees and mounts some drives...does it do that for virtual disks? and could that be done from the bootloader? | 08:38 |
| M0hi | I hope BIOS finds the boot loader which is present before the MBR | 08:39 |
| M0hi | s/hope/believe | 08:39 |
| Zaragon | I know just enough about computers to confuse the hell out of myself | 08:40 |
| M0hi | he he. Its good to know something =) | 08:41 |
| Zaragon | well time for me to go to bed...it is getting close to 2 AM here...good night and a thank you for your assist | 08:43 |
| M0hi | Good night Zaragon =) | 08:43 |
| Snicksie | M0hi, the disk is space in the C-drive indeedd... | 08:44 |
| M0hi | Snicksie: I'm glad that you responded immediately after I asked that :P :P JK | 08:45 |
| Snicksie | sorry, busy :$ | 08:45 |
| M0hi | he he. I was JK | 08:45 |
| Snicksie | im lookin' for a simple pdf-editor like my mac-pdf-editor... that one can mark inside my pdf ^^ | 08:45 |
| Snicksie | i like that | 08:45 |
| M0hi | PDF Import Extension for Openoffice is there | 08:48 |
| M0hi | http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport | 08:48 |
| Snicksie | thats too many options ^^ i only want to mark my text with a colored marker like 'this part is done' :p | 08:50 |
| M0hi | this channel is color disabled I believe | 08:51 |
| Snicksie | i guess so too, but i need to mark my pdf-text ;p | 08:51 |
| M0hi | Write your own extension then :P :P | 08:51 |
| Snicksie | when i got time -- sure | 08:52 |
| Snicksie | but i dont have the time now :p | 08:52 |

| fosburg | Looking for pdf printing application that can be installed as a printer. | 16:01 |
| holstein | fosburg: with openoffice, ive always just used the export as pdf option | 16:06 |
| holstein | i see that libreoffice has that functionality as well | 16:07 |
| holstein | let me google for a pdf printer for ubuntu... | 16:07 |
| coalwater | pdf printer? | 16:07 |
| coalwater | can't u just print any pdf | 16:08 |
| holstein | coalwater: like.. you have a document, or anything open, and you print to a virtual printer that makes a pdf out of it | 16:08 |
| holstein | whatever "it" is | 16:08 |
| holstein | its not to print, its to render a pdf... correct fosburg ? | 16:08 |
| holstein | and im assuming its not a document or something easy... | 16:08 |
| coalwater | o ok, now i get it | 16:08 |
| coalwater | that sounds useful | 16:09 |
| holstein | i have used the 'draw' portion of openoffice for that | 16:09 |
| holstein | libreoffice woul provide the same functionality | 16:09 |
| holstein | i found it to have more options for saving, resizing... whatever else | 16:09 |
| holstein | looks like its easy though | 16:09 |
| holstein | http://www.tohir.co.za/2009/06/15/installing-a-pdf-printer-on-ubuntu/ | 16:09 |
| holstein | yeah, cups-pdf is in the repos for 11.10 fosburg | 16:10 |
| holstein | i would start there | 16:10 |
| fosburg | Most applications have the 'export to..." but I have seen changes in the look of a document bases on the application used | 16:12 |
| fosburg | cup-pdf--can you tell me more about this? | 16:15 |
| holstein | fosburg: sure... its a pdf printer | 16:16 |
| fosburg | how do I install? what is the procedure? | 16:17 |
| holstein | you can see a screenshot at http://www.tohir.co.za/2009/06/15/installing-a-pdf-printer-on-ubuntu/ | 16:17 |
| holstein | fosburg: i would go to whatever package manager you use typically and search 'cups-pdf' | 16:17 |
| fosburg | thank you | 16:17 |
| holstein | there are command line instructions at that link, but you can use the software center, or synaptic, or whatever you are used to using | 16:18 |
| fosburg | Thanks, I used 'software center' and downloaded the cups-pdf--it worked like magic and is now one of my printers. thanks again. | 16:35 |
| holstein | fosburg: enjoy :) | 16:35 |

| marion | good evening and happy halloween | 22:14 |
| marion | does anyone know how i would auto mount a partition with read write permissions through fstab | 22:15 |
| holstein | marion: you chown it afterward | 22:15 |
| bodhi_zazen | marion: I know someone who wrote the book http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?&t=283131 | 22:16 |
| bodhi_zazen | ubuntu forums style | 22:16 |
| bodhi_zazen | depends on the partition, chown chmod will not work on fat or vtfs | 22:17 |
| bodhi_zazen | and chown does not affect auto / noauto mount | 22:18 |
| marion | bhodi may i pm you | 22:18 |
| bodhi_zazen | sure | 22:18 |
