[04:09] <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.
[04:11] <holstein> Max_Stone: sure.. you want the .deb, and whatever dependancies, which might be harder to track down
[04:11] <Max_Stone> Okay...
[04:12] <Max_Stone> Should I Google for the .deb?
[04:13] <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
[04:16] <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
[04:17] <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
[04:18] <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 :/
[04:19] <holstein> Max_Stone: i would use that download gernerator in synaptic
[04:19] <holstein> that'll take care of the dependancies i was mentioning
[04:20] <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 ^.^
[04:22] <duanedesign> hello holstein
[04:22] <holstein> duanedesign: o/
[04:37] <Max_Stone> I can't use the repository site that the jigdo page points to, it's a language I don't recognize :(
[04:39] <Max_Stone> Oh snap it's Indonesian
[04:41] <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
[04:50] <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
[04:52] <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
[04:53] <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
[04:55] <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
[04:56] <holstein> urlin2u: :)
[15:50] <marion> good morning/afternoon/evening depending on where ever you are
[15:52] <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
[15:57] <nlsthzn> marion: ? Explain a bit more please...
[15:59] <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
[16:06] <marion> would you mind walking me through that process
[16:07] <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
[16:10]  * nothingspecial is looking :)
[16:11] <marion> i found something but the command it said to use is bogus
[16:16] <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
[16:17] <nothingspecial> he's one of the grub masters :)
[16:18] <nothingspecial> marion follow that guide :)

[19:05] <JackyAlcine> Pedro3005: whats up?
[19:06] <pedro3005> sick
[19:06] <pedro3005> all weekend
[19:06] <pedro3005> 39ºC fever
[19:06] <pedro3005> sucks
[19:15] <JackyAlcine> :/
[19:16] <nlsthzn> ?
[20:10] <MarionV> does anyone know how to get the 3.0.0-12 generic kernel to support ati radeon
[20:11] <nlsthzn> MarionV: Where you able to edit your Grub2?
[20:12] <MarionV> i couldnt figure out how to get into it
[20:14] <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...
[20:15] <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 ;)
[20:16] <MarionV> will linux recognise my motherboard graphics card?
[20:18] <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...
[21:54] <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
[21:55] <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
[21:57] <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
[21:58] <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
[21:59] <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
[22:00] <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
[22:01] <MarionV> how do i do that
[22:01] <holstein> i would start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[22:02] <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
[22:03] <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 :)
[22:04]  * philipballew will be emailing holstein tonight
[22:14] <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> :)
[22:15] <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
[22:16] <duanedesign> 5.8
[22:16] <duanedesign> it was pretty mild
[22:17]  * philipballew is born and raised in California
[22:17] <philipballew> I think I felt a 5.8 when i was taking a shower today
[22:18] <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
[22:19] <duanedesign> i waswi have been trying to pay extra attention to who has been giving support
[22:20] <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
[22:23] <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
[22:25] <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
[22:28] <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.
[22:29] <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
[22:30]  * philipballew nods back
[23:17] <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
