| Max_Stone | Is there any way to put a package for 11.04 on a USB drive and take it home? I'm running a Windows 7 laptop and I think #ubuntu said that I can't do that. | 04:09 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | Max_Stone: sure.. you want the .deb, and whatever dependancies, which might be harder to track down | 04:11 |
| Max_Stone | Okay... | 04:11 |
| Max_Stone | Should I Google for the .deb? | 04:12 |
| holstein | you might want to consider this in the long run | 04:13 |
| holstein | http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/08/get-ubuntu-repositories-on-dvd.html | 04:13 |
| Max_Stone | That is awesome | 04:16 |
| Max_Stone | Thanks :) | 04:16 |
| holstein | Max_Stone: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/ for example | 04:16 |
| holstein | just drill down there and you'll find the .debs | 04:16 |
| holstein | http://packages.ubuntu.com/ might be helpful as well | 04:17 |
| holstein | im assuming you are on 11.10... | 04:17 |

| ubot2 | If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD | 04:17 |
| holstein | nice... i didnt realize synaptic did that ubot2 | 04:18 |
| Unit193 | Or take a look at apt-offline | 04:18 |
| holstein | Unit193: * | 04:18 |
| holstein | have you tried it? | 04:18 |
| Unit193 | I would be more likly to use apt-offline, but I haven't needed to yet | 04:18 |
| Max_Stone | I have 11.04 | 04:18 |
| * holstein talks to botz :/ | 04:18 | |
| holstein | Max_Stone: i would use that download gernerator in synaptic | 04:19 |
| holstein | that'll take care of the dependancies i was mentioning | 04:19 |
| Max_Stone | Okay. It's really getting to be a pain not having internet at home lol | 04:20 |
| Max_Stone | Appreciate all the help ^.^ | 04:20 |
| duanedesign | hello holstein | 04:22 |
| holstein | duanedesign: o/ | 04:22 |
| Max_Stone | I can't use the repository site that the jigdo page points to, it's a language I don't recognize :( | 04:37 |
| Max_Stone | Oh snap it's Indonesian | 04:39 |
| holstein | Max_Stone: i just hit the 'translate' button and did OK | 04:41 |
| holstein | but, im sure there are other places | 04:41 |
| holstein | and you dont *have* to download the entire repos | 04:41 |
| holstein | its just an idea | 04:41 |
| Max_Stone | I'm looking at the packages.ubuntu.com page but I can't tell what I should grab... | 04:50 |
| Max_Stone | I'm assuming something in the updates section | 04:50 |
| holstein | yeah, doing it from synaptic is the way to go Max_Stone | 04:52 |
| holstein | you'll just search what you want, and it'll mark all the dependancies | 04:52 |
| Max_Stone | Okay | 04:52 |
| holstein | you say 'generate download script' and you get a file with wget commands in it | 04:53 |
| holstein | you can use them with a live CD when you are out or with windows... whatever you decide | 04:53 |
| Max_Stone | Okay, I'll have to do it with Windows | 04:53 |
| Max_Stone | g2g, be back when I can. Hopefully a couple days. | 04:55 |
| Max_Stone | Thanks again | 04:55 |
| urlin2u | holstein, klattu barada niktu Just finished watching the day the earth stood still lol. :D | 04:55 |

| marion | good morning/afternoon/evening depending on where ever you are | 15:50 |
| marion | so for some reason after i went from 11.04 to 11.10 i have to choose a previous version of linux when i boot | 15:52 |
| nlsthzn | marion: ? Explain a bit more please... | 15:57 |
| marion | ok if i let it choose the linux with ubuntu 3.0.0 the screen just goes black so i have to scroll down to previous versions of linux | 15:59 |
| marion | before it automaticaly boots | 15:59 |
| marion | would you mind walking me through that process | 16:06 |
| nothingspecial | I haven't ever needed to edit grub2, I can have a look if you would like :) | 16:07 |
| marion | you can do that i have a user in the Xubuntu channel helping out too | 16:07 |
| nlsthzn | thanks nothingspecial ... at work so I am wheeling between this PC and my panel :p | 16:07 |
| marion | cause i have to boot vmlinuz-2.6.38-12-generic | 16:07 |
| marion | instead of /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-13-generic | 16:07 |
| * nothingspecial is looking :) | 16:10 | |
| marion | i found something but the command it said to use is bogus | 16:11 |
| nothingspecial | marion, like I said I have never done this. Are you comfortable with moving stuff about with the command line and editing config files? | 16:16 |
| nlsthzn | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 for nothingspecial and marion ... | 16:16 |
| nlsthzn | thanks to drs305 | 16:16 |
| nothingspecial | he's one of the grub masters :) | 16:17 |
| nothingspecial | marion follow that guide :) | 16:18 |

| pedro3005 | 39ºC fever | 19:06 |
| pedro3005 | sucks | 19:06 |
| JackyAlcine | :/ | 19:15 |
| nlsthzn | ? | 19:16 |
| MarionV | does anyone know how to get the 3.0.0-12 generic kernel to support ati radeon | 20:10 |
| nlsthzn | MarionV: Where you able to edit your Grub2? | 20:11 |
| MarionV | i couldnt figure out how to get into it | 20:12 |
| nlsthzn | MarionV: I posted this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 just after you left :p | 20:14 |
| nlsthzn | It has all you need to know about editing Grub2... | 20:14 |
| nlsthzn | As for getting Radeon's to play wiht the new kernel I don't know... hang about and see if one of the Guru's sees it and assists ;) | 20:15 |
| MarionV | will linux recognise my motherboard graphics card? | 20:16 |
| nlsthzn | MarionV: I guess that would depend on what it is... a easy way to get past most booting issues with gfx cards is to add "nomodeset" to the kernel argument when booting... | 20:18 |
| MarionV | is there a way to uninstall a kernal | 21:54 |
| holstein | MarionV: there are lots of ways | 21:54 |
| holstein | i would open synaptic and search linux | 21:54 |
| MarionV | well i wanna uninstall 3.0.0 | 21:54 |
| holstein | then, i would look at just why you want to remove it | 21:54 |
| holstein | i would suggest keeping 2, the current one, and the last one that worked | 21:55 |
| MarionV | cause it wont recognize my ati radeon | 21:55 |
| MarionV | how do i open synaptic | 21:57 |
| holstein | MarionV: i would typically find it in the menu and click on it | 21:57 |
| holstein | but, im not sure about how to navigate unity if thats what you are using | 21:57 |
| philipballew | i can help wit unity | 21:58 |
| philipballew | In unity you click on the Ubunto logo on the left side on the launcher bar | 21:58 |
| philipballew | a dash appears and type your application | 21:58 |
| philipballew | hands it back to holstein | 21:58 |
| holstein | hehe | 21:59 |
| MarionV | what is unity | 21:59 |
| MarionV | everything is basic | 21:59 |
| holstein | MarionV: it is potentially the user interface you are using | 21:59 |
| holstein | depending on what versino of ubuntu you are using | 21:59 |
| holstein | im assuing 11.10 with a 3.x kernel | 21:59 |
| MarionV | 11.10 with and i am using the 2.6.38 kernel | 21:59 |
| MarionV | cause the 3.0.0 kernel wont load | 22:00 |
| holstein | MarionV: look for a bug report to follow up on | 22:00 |
| MarionV | i cant find one | 22:00 |
| holstein | sucks when theres a regression like that | 22:00 |
| holstein | MarionV: make a new one then, if you want | 22:00 |
| MarionV | how do i do that | 22:01 |
| holstein | i would start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 22:01 |
| holstein | it can be challenging to get started, but for you, it would be benificial | 22:02 |
| holstein | potentially | 22:02 |
| * philipballew needs to report more bugs | 22:02 | |
| holstein | im going to try and get in on 12.04, the LTS | 22:03 |
| philipballew | im upgrading to 12.04 this week I think | 22:03 |
| philipballew | apparently pre alpha is out | 22:03 |
| holstein | yeah, i was thinking about grabbing a daily :) | 22:03 |
| * philipballew will be emailing holstein tonight | 22:04 | |
| duanedesign | hello holstein | 22:14 |
| philipballew | hello duanedesign | 22:14 |
| duanedesign | holstein: are you on the Beginners Team Mailing List? | 22:14 |
| duanedesign | Hello philipballew | 22:14 |
| * philipballew knows he is not holstein | 22:14 | |
| duanedesign | :) | 22:14 |
| duanedesign | doing good philipballew ? | 22:15 |
| duanedesign | i experienced my first earthquake yesterday | 22:15 |
| philipballew | I think so, I am just doing laundry and doind some ubuntu newsletter summeries | 22:15 |
| philipballew | What was the magnitute | 22:15 |
| duanedesign | 5.8 | 22:16 |
| duanedesign | it was pretty mild | 22:16 |
| * philipballew is born and raised in California | 22:17 | |
| philipballew | I think I felt a 5.8 when i was taking a shower today | 22:17 |
| duanedesign | :) | 22:18 |
| * philipballew just messing duanedesign | 22:18 | |
| philipballew | duanedesign, noone has emailed me asking for an interview | 22:18 |
| philipballew | they are to darn humble | 22:18 |
| duanedesign | i waswi have been trying to pay extra attention to who has been giving support | 22:19 |
| philipballew | I was thinking of doing like 5 to 10 people or so | 22:20 |
| duanedesign | and was going to try and invite some active folks to participate in your great idea | 22:20 |
| philipballew | It came to me when I was in a UDS session. It seemed like a obvious idea that i had been missing or something | 22:23 |
| philipballew | and I dont have many ways to help, so i figured there, I can do something small like that. Its not much, but it might do something | 22:25 |
| duanedesign | philipballew: it is an awesome idea | 22:28 |
| duanedesign | philipballew: their was a session at uds about making community more obvious | 22:28 |
| philipballew | I was there duanedesign remotely. | 22:28 |
| duanedesign | calling attention to all those great people who give their time to help others and ask for nothing in return | 22:29 |
| philipballew | It was a really good session imo | 22:29 |
| * duanedesign nods | 22:29 | |
| * philipballew nods back | 22:30 | |
| notreallyhere | philipballew, wanted you to know I got my problem resolved. A friend suggested using the USB install Ubuntu 11.10 to do an UPGRADE of the 11.04 that was hanging up on boot. That seems to have resolved the issues | 23:17 |
| philipballew | nice! Usb is faster anyway then a cd | 23:17 |
