[00:52] <MarionV> is there a way i can stretch my xubuntu partition to the full size of my hdd
[00:53] <MarionV> pretty much i want to merge sda1 with sda5 pretty much
[02:15] <fosburg> I have been playing with 'Linux' and 'Ubuntu' on an old pc for a few months.  Now I want to buy a workstation to do video and 3d modeling. Any suggestions?
[02:41] <holstein> fosburg: depends on your budget
[02:42] <holstein> i think the ATI vs nvidia argument really evens out
[02:46] <fosburg> I'm trying to get something for about $1500...box only
[02:47] <holstein> yeah... i think you can do that
[02:47] <holstein> hard drive prices are up right now, as im sure you have noticed...
[02:47] <JackyAlcine> A box for $1500? :P
[02:48] <holstein> yeah... i would think 6 or 800 would do you right
[02:48] <fosburg> looking at the amd--what about considerations on logic board?
[02:49] <holstein> whatever you need... just depends
[02:50] <holstein> i like having firewire support, but thats harder and harder to find these days
[02:50] <fosburg> As I mentioned before---I'm a user of applications...its another story when it comes to getting the right processing power.
[02:51] <holstein> fosburg: check out http://www.system76.com/ if for nothing else cross-referencing
[02:52] <fosburg> I have a scanner thats firewire...thats when I was a MAC user
[02:52] <holstein> i wouldnt sweat a scanner
[02:52] <fosburg> I will do that...again thanks for the help
[02:52] <holstein> i would be worried about some DV cam, or for me... audio interfaces that are firewire
[02:53] <holstein> i have several PCI firewire cards im hording though with texas instruments chipsets
[02:53] <holstein> other than that, any modern system is going to be tolerable
[02:54] <holstein> just depends on what you want to spend really
[02:54] <fosburg> thanks I'll take a look at www.system76.com
[08:44] <Snicksie> anyone knows by accident howto revert installation of a not-working driver? apt-get remove doesnt seem to help with that... i installed some wireless drivers which i though would help me do more with my wireless connection, but now my wireless isnt working anymore, so the logical step was apt-get remove broadcom-sta-common... (the drivers i installed) seems my wireless wont work and now i have to use another OS to have my wireless working :p
[09:10] <garden92> how do you open bz2 files in ubuntu?
[10:02] <Fanshawe> Hey all, I'm using Evolution and I need some help with redirecting copies of sent messages.
[10:03] <Fanshawe> An IMAP account seems to direct all sent mail to the 'On This Computer' account, rather than using the local account.

[16:01] <bioterror> remove that from sources
[16:02] <crash_> the charles one?
[16:02] <hobgoblin> can you paste the sources file - cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:02] <hobgoblin> I assume you tried to follow the link stl left above
[16:02] <bioterror> can you pastebin ;)
[16:04] <hobgoblin> crash_: are you still there? can you pastebin the cat result please
[16:05] <crash_> that is after i delete charles one http://paste.ubuntu.com/743324/
[16:05] <hobgoblin> k - edit the file and add deb http://www.charlesproxy.com/packages/apt/ charles-proxy main
[16:05] <hobgoblin> save and update
[16:06] <crash_> i do it under gui
[16:07] <hobgoblin> wherever :)
[16:07] <crash_> done
[16:07] <hobgoblin> I added it and it updates ok here
[16:07] <hobgoblin> now reload or apt-get update
[16:08] <crash_> deb http://www.charlesproxy.com/packages/apt/ charles-proxy main
[16:08] <hobgoblin> yep
[16:08] <hobgoblin> oh hang on - are you adding that to software sources?
[16:08] <crash_> W: Failed to fetch http://www.charlesproxy.com/packages/apt/dists/charles-proxy/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'main/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
[16:08] <hobgoblin> oh hang on - are you adding that to software sources?
[16:08] <hobgoblin> in the other software tab that is
[16:09] <crash_> brb
[16:10] <hobgoblin> works fine here crash_ - I just add it to the text file though
[16:22] <crash_> yes added to other tab not working
[16:26] <crash_> i opened in notepad source list shows deb http://www.charlesproxy.com/packages/apt/ charles-proxy main
[16:26] <crash_> deb-src http://www.charlesproxy.com/packages/apt/ charles-proxy main
[16:31] <crash_> how you edit the list file so you can save it
[16:31] <hobgoblin> crash_: perhaps it is the deb-src line then - I didn't bother with that
[16:33] <hobgoblin> crash_: I use nano - but if you are using ubuntu then a gui way - gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:34] <hobgoblin> crash_: mine looks like this and works http://paste.ubuntu.com/743353/
[16:35] <crash_> working now thanks. is there a link on how to install something that is not deb install
[16:36] <Snicksie> hm, you should be able to add that via software sources too... i did that recently ;)
[16:37] <crash_> im saying when you have to compile it for ubuntu since they dont have deb version
[16:42] <hobgoblin> crash_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware  and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo
[16:44] <crash_> the 2nd one i tried did not work lol missinf ./configure file
[16:44] <crash_> installed but i think charles under linux may only be command line
[16:46] <crash_> thanks so much
[16:48] <hobgoblin> weclome - hope you get it doing what you want it to
[16:50] <crash_> if figure i will try it under linux since windows giving issues. i just dont use linux much since no drivers for printer under linux

[19:01] <MarionV> hey everyone
[19:02] <MarionV> so I'm trying to install 11.04 from the alternate and it tells me the software install failed
[19:02] <MarionV> is there a way to do it from shell
[19:13] <philipballew> Maratich, was there a reason it said it failed?
[19:13] <philipballew> aww. my bad
[19:13] <philipballew> MarionV,
[19:13] <philipballew> what did it say that caused it to fail
[19:14] <bioterror> alt+f2 or f3 should show
[19:14] <MarionV> one of the files on the disk failed md5
[19:14] <philipballew> try to download and burn a different disk
[19:14] <philipballew> but yes bioterror said what would do it
[19:18] <MarionV> ok so I can't just shell it
[19:20] <MarionV> wait now I can't get to windows it is giving Me a grub rescue prompt
[19:21] <bioterror> :-)
[19:21] <MarionV> what can I do
[19:22] <bioterror> MarionV, you could chroot into it, apt-get intall kernel and run grub-install
