[04:12] <Shadow__X> hello 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.

[09:46] <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?
[09:49] <nothingspecial> It might help if you install gnome-tweak-tool julez_
[09:50] <julez_> i did, but i can't choose the theme there, too. i just tried it with another theme, "malys-unisex", which worked...
[09:51] <julez_> i just can choose the dust window theme, not the gtk+ theme
[09:53] <nothingspecial> not sure I'm afraid julez_
[09:54] <nothingspecial> where did you get the theme from?
[09:55] <julez_> https://launchpad.net/dusttheme/0.5/0.5.0
[09:58] <nothingspecial> It doesn't appear to be compatible with gtk3 julez_
[10:00] <julez_> :( okay, then i have to search another theme... thank you
[10:02] <nothingspecial> it is in the package gnome-themes-ubuntu but again, only the window theme, not the gtk one
[11:10] <s-fox> Hello.
[17:40] <Fed> I 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 thi

[20:30] <Fyodorovna> skywalker91, did you install ubuntu from windows or from a booted cd or usb flash
[20:31] <skywalker91> from a boot cd
[20:32] <philipballew_> like this skywalker91 http://beconfused.com/media/2008/02/Booting-up-to-Windows-Vista-or-Ubuntu-using-GRUB.jpg

[20:32] <philipballew_> and if so, what os's are on yours?
[20:32] <philipballew_> !grub2
[20:32] <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)

[20:35] <philipballew_> how do you know you installed ubuntu?
[20:36] <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 function
[20:36] <dsenator> also need Evolver tool too
[20:37] <dsenator> whats their ubuntu tools
[20:37] <philipballew_> dsenator, if nobody here knows see if libre office has an irc channel as well
[20:37] <skywalker91> after 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 machine
[20:38] <dsenator> philipballew, OH OK
[20:38] <philipballew_> okay. so boot back into your live cd and show m the output of sudo sfisk -l on like pastebin or something
[20:38] <philipballew_> of wait
[20:38] <philipballew_> sudo fdisk -l on like pastebin or something
[20:39] <skywalker91> ok
[20:39] <dsenator> philipballew, how do i check into the libre office irc channel
[20:39]  * philipballew_ shouldnt eat and type
[20:39] <philipballew_> dsenator, they probably have a irc channel somewhere
[20:40] <jalcine> #libreoffice?
[20:42] <philipballew_> dsenator, do that
[20:45] <Sidewinder1> If it's libreoffice it's probably on Freenode.
[20:45] <philipballew_> it is, i looked
[20:45] <dsenator> Sidewinder1,  thanks
[20:45] <Sidewinder1> :)
[20:46] <dsenator_> I am not quitting yet
[20:49] <Sidewinder1> dsenator, 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.
[20:51] <dsenator> I still cant get the help needed, the libreoffice irc is not responding or maybe I did not find the correct one
[20:52] <philipballew_> dsenator, id wait a while.
[20:52] <philipballew_> you can also try a fourm or askubuntu
[20:53] <Sidewinder1> dsenator, It sometimes takes a little longer but you could also try: http://ubuntuforums.org/
[20:53] <Sidewinder1> philipballew, You were quicker..
