[01:20] Very much so [01:20] jalcine_: What it the world was going on? [01:21] Trying to get AndroIRC working right. [01:21] Oh. You likeit? [01:24] It's okay, just wanted mobility with IRC> [01:24] Yah, I need to do that as well, I guess ... [01:25] * sanbar likes git tags and branches - just learned branches today [02:42] shadeslayer: Happy New Years Eve! [10:05] 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. [10:11] shahan: did you try any of the options you were given yesterday? [10:12] hobgoblin: Actually I was looking for the actual solution and don't want to use any 3rd party software. [10:12] fair enough [10:13] if no-one here can help then I'd try #ubuntu, ubuntuforums or askubuntu [10:13] hang about and see :) [10:13] hobgoblin: tnx for your suggestion. [10:13] though to be frank I'd not call editing fstab to add these 3rd party filesystems to your linux machine :p [10:14] * OutOfControl thinks askubuntu already has a questopn on that [10:15] I'd guess so - I'd look for something like automount failing [10:15] 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 [10:22] hi there, who knows whether Ebook-Readers and Kindles are able to process a (x)html ? [10:23] and of course, a happy new year too all of you [10:27] hobgoblin: but it mounts NTFS automatically. Doesnt require to install any software. [11:35] Can someone assist me with installing a theme? [11:37] anyone? [13:28] 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. [13:30] susah_sebut: I haven't used UbuntuONE much myself, but I think #ubuntuone would be a better place to ask. [13:32] Your english is fine by the way. :) [13:32] oh, thanks. im still new in irc. so dont know which channel would be best. thanks again. have a nice day [13:34] forthe record susah_sebut - don't worry too much about grammar -we'll ask if necessary and you're english is fine [13:50] tony_: I'm here too [13:51] is this where I should be? [13:52] yea tony_ - this is the support channel - other one is a 'team chat' channel, you are welcome there too [13:52] I was happy to talk in there with you - but when people start chatting it can get confusing [13:52] ok ... my first time on chat... not so easy to get to right place [13:52] :) [13:53] you did - how did you find these channels? [13:53] and you didn't have to leave the other channel lol [13:53] i am trying to migrate from windows to Linux but not so simple for me but will do [13:54] well - to start with I would dual boot until you're sure [13:54] i have installed 11.10 ubuntu... [13:54] os - as far as the theme thing goes - what have you tried so far [13:54] my laptop is windows and desktop is ubuntu [13:54] aah k [13:55] as I said earlier the theme thing is mostly about not using gtk2 ones - have you tried the webupd page you got [13:55] I have installed ubuntu default and advanced settings [13:56] ok - and does it help? [13:56] I can boot the vm if necessary to look [13:56] very little as I want to completely change the page... [13:57] mmm not so sure you can do that - but I stopped using ubuntu [13:57] what you using? [13:57] xubuntu [13:57] I wanted to install mint but my system would not boot into ISO [13:57] different desktop environment [13:58] if it booted the ubuntu one then I'd check the md5sum and integrity of the mint disk then [13:58] would mint be better? [13:59] perhaps - I personally don't like mint [13:59] the thing is that on the whole linux is more of a personal thing [13:59] much more choice on the whole [14:00] yes I have gathered... I just want a linux os that is easy for me to use and understand [14:01] well generally under the hood they are much the same - gnome/xfce/kde are the main ones [14:01] is you're desktop quite well specced? [14:01] ram and cpu etc [14:02] no... I have a very basic unit but 8 gigs ram [14:03] Which theme are you trying to install tony_ [14:03] 1 min a [14:03] Hi hobgoblin happy new year [14:03] gtk2 in ubuntu nothingspecial [14:03] oh [14:03] tony_: I'd maybe have a look at kubuntu [14:03] Or try gnome-shell [14:04] you'll not get stuck with it when finding things on the internet that don't work becasue of version mismatches [14:04] Some nice themes for that and you don't have to install a new desktop environment [14:04] oh - nice to know that [14:05] webupd8 and omgubuntu have lots of nice links to gnome-shell themes [14:05] sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [14:05] then log out [14:05] perhaps if tony_ is still wanting help with that you can take over for a while nothingspecial [14:06] sorry hobgoblin :p [14:06] you still here tony_ [14:06] yes [14:06] lol - carry on - you know my gnome stance nothingspecial :D [14:06] I just want a better desktop.... not the hidden menus [14:07] try kubuntu [14:07] :) [14:07] it's a 'bit' windowslike - sort of [14:08] or xubuntu which is a bit like ubuntu used to be [14:08] yea - but not quite as simple to theme :) [14:08] but you can install extensions for gnome-shell that give you proper menus [14:09] if you like :) [14:09] this is linux, do whatever you want \o/ [14:09] except in unity ... [14:09] aha if you know how [14:10] I am doing my best to learn [14:10] :) [14:10] 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] correct but that is also from years [14:10] tony_: sometimes it feels like an uphill struggle - I've been there [14:10] yep [14:11] haven't tried to change a theme yet [14:11] right now I want to setup my desktop.... anything will do right now [14:11] tony_: if you have the bandwidth and some cd's - I would get kubuntu and xubuntu and have a look at those [14:12] That's just what I was typing [14:12] lol [14:12] actually the other way to look is to download them and run them in a virtual machine [14:12] but that means a new os? [14:12] you can do that from within the existing ubuntu [14:12] Mint/Ubuntu is suppose to be the best? [14:12] all buntus are the same but with a different look [14:13] it's a new desktop environment mostly tony_ [14:13] you can install kde, xfce4 and lxde and choose between them when you log in [14:13] kde-base I think is the package [14:14] no it's not [14:14] wb hobgoblin [14:14] whoops [14:14] ha ha ha [14:15] tony_: you can actually install one from within ubuntu then remove ubuntu [14:16] ? [14:16] kde, xfce4 and lxde? [14:16] different looks tony_ [14:16] so are you saying each one of these is a different look and I should re-install Ubuntu and choose? [14:17] no [14:17] you don't need to reinstall ubuntu [14:18] look at this page http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/whichbuntu [14:19] The whole site is excellent for beginners [14:23] thanks but I am still confused. If I dont have to re-install ubuntu to change the desktop... how do i change within Ubuntu? [14:24] 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] simplistically [14:24] well you could install the xubuntu-desktop package or the kubuntu-desktop package [14:24] all you are doing is adding some of the 'other' packasges [14:25] but that will download a whole bunch of stuff you might not want [14:25] eish [14:25] which is why we suggest trying live cds [14:26] to see which you like [14:26] tony_: or virtual machines - probably easier [14:26] yep, those too [14:26] then if you decide you want to use on of the others reinstall that one [14:28] with 8 gigs of ram you could run them all at the same time :) [14:29] ok so where should I look? [14:30] http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download [14:30] http://www.xubuntu.org/get [14:31] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu [14:31] 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] yep, if I am around :) [14:32] I'll likely be about - or elfy [14:32] thank you [14:33] so you say this would be a better option that Mint? [14:34] try them all [14:34] I would not get mint to work [14:35] should work if ubuntu works [14:35] maybe a bad download [14:35] 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 [14:36] boots into a blank screen.... tried it on a bought CD and download [14:36] what make is your laptop [14:36] desktop [14:36] oh sorry [14:36] graphics card make [14:37] none... just built in one [14:37] but that is as far as I'll go with support for mint [14:37] onboard card then - there is a graphics card of some sort [14:37] yes only built in [14:38] and it is a ? intel - nvidia - amd ... [14:38] let me look [14:39] 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] Intel® G41 x86/MMX/SSE2 [14:45] I got to go for a bit [14:45] cya [14:45] cya [14:46] tony_: I would suggest getting those iso's then running them in a vm - then decide what you want [14:46] I can help you with the vm later [14:46] but I've got family stuff to do for a while [14:49] 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 [15:45] sanbar: Happy New year to you too :) [16:29] #ubuntu-beginners-team [16:30] yep - we all said i [16:40] * coalwater says I .. doesn't know why though [16:41] bad goblin === yofel_ is now known as yofel === jalcine_ is now known as Guest72417 === Guest72417 is now known as jalcine === jalcine is now known as jalcine_ === Alcine is now known as jalcine === jalcine_ is now known as Guest90931 === angela-android is now known as Guest20611
