shahan | My NTFS drives are not showing on my UBUNTU 11.10 desktop 32Bit. I recovered my GRUB2 as I installed Windows after installing Windows XP on my PC. The drive were shown on Ubuntu 11.10 previously. | 10:05 |
hobgoblin | shahan: did you try any of the options you were given yesterday? | 10:11 |
shahan | hobgoblin: Actually I was looking for the actual solution and don't want to use any 3rd party software. | 10:12 |
hobgoblin | fair enough | 10:12 |
hobgoblin | if no-one here can help then I'd try #ubuntu, ubuntuforums or askubuntu | 10:13 |
hobgoblin | hang about and see :) | 10:13 |
shahan | hobgoblin: tnx for your suggestion. | 10:13 |
hobgoblin | though to be frank I'd not call editing fstab to add these 3rd party filesystems to your linux machine :p | 10:13 |
* OutOfControl thinks askubuntu already has a questopn on that | 10:14 | |
hobgoblin | I'd guess so - I'd look for something like automount failing | 10:15 |
hobgoblin | shahan: anything that allows you to see ntfs on linux is going to be using something that's 3rd party - linux doesn't use ntfs :p | 10:15 |
Silverlion | hi there, who knows whether Ebook-Readers and Kindles are able to process a (x)html <table>? | 10:22 |
Silverlion | and of course, a happy new year too all of you | 10:23 |
shahan | hobgoblin: but it mounts NTFS automatically. Doesnt require to install any software. | 10:27 |
tony_ | Can someone assist me with installing a theme? | 11:35 |
tony_ | anyone? | 11:37 |
susah_sebut | hi all, im having problem in synchronizing my notes in ubuntu ONE. it all happened after i log in to ONE using 12.04 alpha. in 12.04 i was unable to log in using ONE control panel, only using web. after that i cant syncronize tomboy notes anymore using my 10.04 laptop and 11.10 desktop. Is there any way that i can fix this? sorry if my english is bad. especially the grammar. im kinda worried that my question might not be accurate. | 13:28 |
geirha | susah_sebut: I haven't used UbuntuONE much myself, but I think #ubuntuone would be a better place to ask. | 13:30 |
geirha | Your english is fine by the way. :) | 13:32 |
susah_sebut | oh, thanks. im still new in irc. so dont know which channel would be best. thanks again. have a nice day | 13:32 |
elfy | forthe record susah_sebut - don't worry too much about grammar -we'll ask if necessary and you're english is fine | 13:34 |
hobgoblin | tony_: I'm here too | 13:50 |
tony_ | is this where I should be? | 13:51 |
hobgoblin | yea tony_ - this is the support channel - other one is a 'team chat' channel, you are welcome there too | 13:52 |
hobgoblin | I was happy to talk in there with you - but when people start chatting it can get confusing | 13:52 |
tony_ | ok ... my first time on chat... not so easy to get to right place | 13:52 |
hobgoblin | :) | 13:52 |
hobgoblin | you did - how did you find these channels? | 13:53 |
hobgoblin | and you didn't have to leave the other channel lol | 13:53 |
tony_ | i am trying to migrate from windows to Linux but not so simple for me but will do | 13:53 |
hobgoblin | well - to start with I would dual boot until you're sure | 13:54 |
tony_ | i have installed 11.10 ubuntu... | 13:54 |
hobgoblin | os - as far as the theme thing goes - what have you tried so far | 13:54 |
tony_ | my laptop is windows and desktop is ubuntu | 13:54 |
hobgoblin | aah k | 13:54 |
hobgoblin | as I said earlier the theme thing is mostly about not using gtk2 ones - have you tried the webupd page you got | 13:55 |
tony_ | I have installed ubuntu default and advanced settings | 13:55 |
hobgoblin | ok - and does it help? | 13:56 |
hobgoblin | I can boot the vm if necessary to look | 13:56 |
tony_ | very little as I want to completely change the page... | 13:56 |
hobgoblin | mmm not so sure you can do that - but I stopped using ubuntu | 13:57 |
tony_ | what you using? | 13:57 |
hobgoblin | xubuntu | 13:57 |
tony_ | I wanted to install mint but my system would not boot into ISO | 13:57 |
hobgoblin | different desktop environment | 13:57 |
hobgoblin | if it booted the ubuntu one then I'd check the md5sum and integrity of the mint disk then | 13:58 |
tony_ | would mint be better? | 13:58 |
hobgoblin | perhaps - I personally don't like mint | 13:59 |
hobgoblin | the thing is that on the whole linux is more of a personal thing | 13:59 |
hobgoblin | much more choice on the whole | 13:59 |
tony_ | yes I have gathered... I just want a linux os that is easy for me to use and understand | 14:00 |
hobgoblin | well generally under the hood they are much the same - gnome/xfce/kde are the main ones | 14:01 |
hobgoblin | is you're desktop quite well specced? | 14:01 |
hobgoblin | ram and cpu etc | 14:01 |
tony_ | no... I have a very basic unit but 8 gigs ram | 14:02 |
nothingspecial | Which theme are you trying to install tony_ | 14:03 |
tony_ | 1 min a | 14:03 |
nothingspecial | Hi hobgoblin happy new year | 14:03 |
hobgoblin | gtk2 in ubuntu nothingspecial | 14:03 |
nothingspecial | oh | 14:03 |
hobgoblin | tony_: I'd maybe have a look at kubuntu | 14:03 |
nothingspecial | Or try gnome-shell | 14:03 |
hobgoblin | you'll not get stuck with it when finding things on the internet that don't work becasue of version mismatches | 14:04 |
nothingspecial | Some nice themes for that and you don't have to install a new desktop environment | 14:04 |
hobgoblin | oh - nice to know that | 14:04 |
nothingspecial | webupd8 and omgubuntu have lots of nice links to gnome-shell themes | 14:05 |
nothingspecial | sudo apt-get install gnome-shell | 14:05 |
nothingspecial | then log out | 14:05 |
hobgoblin | perhaps if tony_ is still wanting help with that you can take over for a while nothingspecial | 14:05 |
nothingspecial | sorry hobgoblin :p | 14:06 |
nothingspecial | you still here tony_ | 14:06 |
tony_ | yes | 14:06 |
hobgoblin | lol - carry on - you know my gnome stance nothingspecial :D | 14:06 |
tony_ | I just want a better desktop.... not the hidden menus | 14:06 |
hobgoblin | try kubuntu | 14:07 |
hobgoblin | :) | 14:07 |
hobgoblin | it's a 'bit' windowslike - sort of | 14:07 |
nothingspecial | or xubuntu which is a bit like ubuntu used to be | 14:08 |
hobgoblin | yea - but not quite as simple to theme :) | 14:08 |
nothingspecial | but you can install extensions for gnome-shell that give you proper menus | 14:08 |
nothingspecial | if you like :) | 14:09 |
nothingspecial | this is linux, do whatever you want \o/ | 14:09 |
hobgoblin | except in unity ... | 14:09 |
tony_ | aha if you know how | 14:09 |
tony_ | I am doing my best to learn | 14:10 |
nothingspecial | :) | 14:10 |
hobgoblin | well tony_ windows is just the same as that - you didn't know how to do stuff there till you found out :) | 14:10 |
* nothingspecial is still finding out about windows | 14:10 | |
tony_ | correct but that is also from years | 14:10 |
hobgoblin | tony_: sometimes it feels like an uphill struggle - I've been there | 14:10 |
hobgoblin | yep | 14:10 |
nothingspecial | haven't tried to change a theme yet | 14:11 |
tony_ | right now I want to setup my desktop.... anything will do right now | 14:11 |
hobgoblin | tony_: if you have the bandwidth and some cd's - I would get kubuntu and xubuntu and have a look at those | 14:11 |
nothingspecial | That's just what I was typing | 14:12 |
nothingspecial | lol | 14:12 |
hobgoblin | actually the other way to look is to download them and run them in a virtual machine | 14:12 |
tony_ | but that means a new os? | 14:12 |
hobgoblin | you can do that from within the existing ubuntu | 14:12 |
tony_ | Mint/Ubuntu is suppose to be the best? | 14:12 |
nothingspecial | all buntus are the same but with a different look | 14:12 |
hobgoblin | it's a new desktop environment mostly tony_ | 14:13 |
nothingspecial | you can install kde, xfce4 and lxde and choose between them when you log in | 14:13 |
nothingspecial | kde-base I think is the package | 14:13 |
nothingspecial | no it's not | 14:14 |
nothingspecial | wb hobgoblin | 14:14 |
hobgoblin | whoops | 14:14 |
nothingspecial | ha ha ha | 14:14 |
hobgoblin | tony_: you can actually install one from within ubuntu then remove ubuntu | 14:15 |
tony_ | ? | 14:16 |
tony_ | kde, xfce4 and lxde? | 14:16 |
nothingspecial | different looks tony_ | 14:16 |
tony_ | so are you saying each one of these is a different look and I should re-install Ubuntu and choose? | 14:16 |
nothingspecial | no | 14:17 |
nothingspecial | you don't need to reinstall ubuntu | 14:17 |
nothingspecial | look at this page http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/whichbuntu | 14:18 |
nothingspecial | The whole site is excellent for beginners | 14:19 |
tony_ | thanks but I am still confused. If I dont have to re-install ubuntu to change the desktop... how do i change within Ubuntu? | 14:23 |
hobgoblin | basically because it's the way it is - there is a base - then there are some other packages which make the rest up | 14:24 |
hobgoblin | simplistically | 14:24 |
nothingspecial | well you could install the xubuntu-desktop package or the kubuntu-desktop package | 14:24 |
hobgoblin | all you are doing is adding some of the 'other' packasges | 14:24 |
nothingspecial | but that will download a whole bunch of stuff you might not want | 14:25 |
tony_ | eish | 14:25 |
nothingspecial | which is why we suggest trying live cds | 14:25 |
nothingspecial | to see which you like | 14:26 |
hobgoblin | tony_: or virtual machines - probably easier | 14:26 |
nothingspecial | yep, those too | 14:26 |
hobgoblin | then if you decide you want to use on of the others reinstall that one | 14:26 |
nothingspecial | with 8 gigs of ram you could run them all at the same time :) | 14:28 |
tony_ | ok so where should I look? | 14:29 |
nothingspecial | http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download | 14:30 |
nothingspecial | http://www.xubuntu.org/get | 14:30 |
nothingspecial | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu | 14:31 |
hobgoblin | tony_: once you've got them both - and I suggest using a torrent if you can then ping and we can help you get them going in a virtual machine | 14:31 |
nothingspecial | yep, if I am around :) | 14:31 |
hobgoblin | I'll likely be about - or elfy | 14:32 |
tony_ | thank you | 14:32 |
tony_ | so you say this would be a better option that Mint? | 14:33 |
nothingspecial | try them all | 14:34 |
tony_ | I would not get mint to work | 14:34 |
nothingspecial | should work if ubuntu works | 14:35 |
nothingspecial | maybe a bad download | 14:35 |
hobgoblin | tony_: that's probably more likely an issue with the download - hence the use torrent comment - then you know that bit is at least good | 14:35 |
tony_ | boots into a blank screen.... tried it on a bought CD and download | 14:36 |
nothingspecial | what make is your laptop | 14:36 |
tony_ | desktop | 14:36 |
nothingspecial | oh sorry | 14:36 |
hobgoblin | graphics card make | 14:36 |
tony_ | none... just built in one | 14:37 |
hobgoblin | but that is as far as I'll go with support for mint | 14:37 |
hobgoblin | onboard card then - there is a graphics card of some sort | 14:37 |
tony_ | yes only built in | 14:37 |
hobgoblin | and it is a ? intel - nvidia - amd ... | 14:38 |
tony_ | let me look | 14:38 |
hobgoblin | all of which is a bit by the by - if you got ubuntu working I would expect mint to - it is in fact ubuntu with some shiny bits stuck on | 14:39 |
tony_ | IntelĀ® G41 x86/MMX/SSE2 | 14:39 |
nothingspecial | I got to go for a bit | 14:45 |
nothingspecial | cya | 14:45 |
hobgoblin | cya | 14:45 |
hobgoblin | tony_: I would suggest getting those iso's then running them in a vm - then decide what you want | 14:46 |
hobgoblin | I can help you with the vm later | 14:46 |
hobgoblin | but I've got family stuff to do for a while | 14:46 |
hobgoblin | tony_: here's the link to get to the mint irc channel - might be someone can help you with that http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/12 | 14:49 |
shadeslayer | sanbar: Happy New year to you too :) | 15:45 |
geekosopher | #ubuntu-beginners-team | 16:29 |
hobgoblin | yep - we all said i | 16:30 |
* coalwater says I .. doesn't know why though | 16:40 | |
hobgoblin | bad goblin | 16:41 |
