Shadow__Xhello everyone, I am having issues with the sky2 driver in ubuntu. For months it has worked without an issue and after a reboot now its having issues negotiating gigabyte speeds and at times working with the network. I already tried swapping ethernet cables with known good cables (using cables i made and premade bought cables). It is connected to a gigabyte switch any help would be greatly appreciated thanks04:12

julez_hey, i'm using ubuntu 11.10 and i want to install the dust theme. i just extract the archive in ~/.themes, but i can't find it in the appearance section in the system configuration. what do i have to do?09:46
nothingspecialIt might help if you install gnome-tweak-tool julez_09:49
julez_i did, but i can't choose the theme there, too. i just tried it with another theme, "malys-unisex", which worked...09:50
julez_i just can choose the dust window theme, not the gtk+ theme09:51
nothingspecialnot sure I'm afraid julez_09:53
nothingspecialwhere did you get the theme from?09:54
julez_https://launchpad.net/dusttheme/0.5/0.5.009:55
nothingspecialIt doesn't appear to be compatible with gtk3 julez_09:58
julez_:( okay, then i have to search another theme... thank you10:00
nothingspecialit is in the package gnome-themes-ubuntu but again, only the window theme, not the gtk one10:02

FedI took out the hard drive from my 1005ha and installed ubuntu on it using my mac and usb-sata connector. After I installed it through my mac i put the drive back into the laptop and went to boot it. The power went on and the lights on the bottom light up. But the screen stayed black. There was no sound coming from it besides the fan spinning. I took it apart and rechecked all the connections, still nothing. What could be a cause for thi17:40

ubot2`Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience20:23

holsteinskywalker91: you see a boot loader screen? a list of operating systems at boot?... windows, ubuntu... etc?20:30
Fyodorovnaskywalker91, did you install ubuntu from windows or from a booted cd or usb flash20:30
skywalker91from a boot cd20:31
philipballew_like this skywalker91 http://beconfused.com/media/2008/02/Booting-up-to-Windows-Vista-or-Ubuntu-using-GRUB.jpg20:32
philipballew_do you see this when you turn on the machine20:32
philipballew_and if so, what os's are on yours?20:32
philipballew_!grub220:32
ubot2`GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10)20:32
skywalker91i don't see anything like this i go directly to Windows 7 starting screen20:34
philipballew_how do you know you installed ubuntu?20:35
dsenator hi all, I need to find the equivalent of some excel tools in libre office calc, i need Developer where I can use the Spin function20:36
dsenatoralso need Evolver tool too20:36
dsenatorwhats their ubuntu tools20:37
philipballew_dsenator, if nobody here knows see if libre office has an irc channel as well20:37
skywalker91after i started live CD i went through regular install steps and after it finished a message went told me that installing was done and i need to restart machine20:37
dsenatorphilipballew, OH OK20:38
philipballew_okay. so boot back into your live cd and show m the output of sudo sfisk -l on like pastebin or something20:38
philipballew_of wait20:38
philipballew_sudo fdisk -l on like pastebin or something20:38
skywalker91ok20:39
dsenatorphilipballew, how do i check into the libre office irc channel20:39
* philipballew_ shouldnt eat and type20:39
philipballew_dsenator, they probably have a irc channel somewhere20:39
jalcine#libreoffice?20:40
philipballew_dsenator, do that20:42
Sidewinder1If it's libreoffice it's probably on Freenode.20:45
philipballew_it is, i looked20:45
dsenatorSidewinder1,  thanks20:45
Sidewinder1:)20:45
dsenator_I am not quitting yet20:46
Sidewinder1dsenator, Just stick with it; I'm reasonably certain you'll be able to do what you wish. About the only areas that I'm aware of that can cause problems is some games and Autocad.20:49
dsenatorI still cant get the help needed, the libreoffice irc is not responding or maybe I did not find the correct one20:51
philipballew_dsenator, id wait a while.20:52
philipballew_you can also try a fourm or askubuntu20:52
Sidewinder1dsenator, It sometimes takes a little longer but you could also try: http://ubuntuforums.org/20:53
Sidewinder1philipballew, You were quicker..20:53
* philipballew_ hugs Sidewinder1 20:53
