| Guest98854 | Lost here . . . am I found by anyone? | 01:26 |
| Guest98854 | Hi, Although I am college educated I have not taken any computer courses. Therefore, I depend on the GUI so I won't have to learn the CLI. Linux has built into it several “brick walls.” A brick wall is an area that the GUI that leaves someone like me totally clueless as to what to do next. Could these “brick walls “ PLEASE be fixed. Item – I have just downloaded a program and I want to find it in the fi | 01:27 |
| Guest98854 | in MICROSOFT PRODUCTS. However, in Linux it am taken to a box called “:launch application' and it says “choose” and then it presents me with a BIG EMPTY area. I guess I am somehow supposed to know which sub-directory the programs are kept in. Heck it's not even called “Program Files Here” Could simple file manipulation be dummied down for us non-computer people? Item – Konquer needs to be put in Path | 01:27 |
| Guest98854 | thanks, don't mean to piss anyone off but linux is confusing for us muggles | 01:29 |
| w1jp | anyone know anything about the default sound manager? | 01:36 |
| w1jp | I'd like to know how to turn off the AGC (auto-gain control) | 01:37 |

| Unit193 | Alrighty. | 01:38 |
| sanbar | I have booted from LiveCD 12.04. I am trying to mount a hard disk partition with mount. It comes back in dmesg with "Unable to read superblock" - any help? | 03:19 |
| sanbar | I am not sure I have the file system type correct, also | 03:20 |
| escott | sanbar, run fsck "sudo fsck /dev/sda# | 03:20 |
| sanbar | ok - that is the file system fixer, right? | 03:21 |
| escott | sanbar, FileSystem ChecKer easy to remember because you need to run fsck when you are fscked | 03:21 |
| sanbar | I've got it mounted, and can see the files. It is a disk that contains a broken natty install that was in the middle of an upgrade to oneiric | 03:34 |
| sanbar | What is the best way to get all my data off, like in my home drive, so I can restore it after I do a clean install of 12.04 | 03:34 |
| sanbar | ? | 03:34 |
| JoseeAntonioR | sanbar: Partitioning | 03:34 |
| sanbar | JoseeAntonioR: Not sure what you mean | 03:35 |
| JoseeAntonioR | sanbar: Create a partition for your home folder, then re-install ubuntu without formatting the home partition you created, and then copy what you have in the partition to ubuntu, and finally get it together. | 03:36 |
| sanbar | Hmmmm. I was wondering about some stuff in /etc | 03:37 |
| sanbar | oh well, I am happy today. I will work on it more tomorrow. See ya'll later | 03:38 |
| boliviano3 | hey everyone, I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 but I just got an error during the install. it says "executing 'grub-install /dev/mapper' failed. anyone know how I'd fix this? | 06:22 |
| JoseeAntonioR | boliviano3: Termina de instalar, o se queda colgado con ese error? | 06:22 |
| boliviano3 | en ingles por favor :) | 06:23 |
| JoseeAntonioR | boliviano3: Does the install finishes, or it hangs up? | 06:23 |
| bioterror | boliviano3, try running installer again | 06:23 |
| boliviano3 | it gives the option to continue w/o installing the bootloader but is that something i should do? | 06:24 |
| JoseeAntonioR | boliviano3: Yes, continue. | 06:24 |
| bioterror | boliviano3, actually try running the live session again | 06:24 |
| bioterror | well | 06:24 |
| bioterror | that can be too | 06:24 |
| JoseeAntonioR | boliviano3: Continue without the bootloader, and then you can install it from the LiveCD, that way you'll earn time | 06:24 |
| bioterror | boliviano3, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 06:24 |
| JoseeAntonioR | boliviano3: Of couse, that's after you finish installing. | 06:25 |
| boliviano3 | ok i'll click continue and i'll be back if i have any problems | 06:26 |
| JoseeAntonioR | boliviano3: Ok, great | 06:27 |
| boliviano3 | thanks guys. so it finished and restarted into windows 7. so I should insert the live cd again and repair boot through there? | 06:28 |
| JoseeAntonioR | boliviano3: Yep | 06:30 |
| boliviano3 | ok so I was able to repair and boot into ubuntu but at boot I don't believe it gave the option to boot into windows. here's the link that it gave me after the repair was done: http://paste.ubuntu.com/954345/ | 06:53 |
| bioterror | everything went better than expected | 06:54 |
| bioterror | Sun09:24 <bioterror> boliviano3, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 06:54 |
| boliviano3 | are you trying to say I should run boot repair again? | 06:55 |
| bioterror | I would | 06:57 |
| bioterror | as you're missing windows from your grub ;) | 06:57 |
| boliviano3 | ok should I do anything different this time? I just ran the recommended repair last time | 06:58 |
| boliviano3 | hmmm interesting I restarted the desktop after installing some updates and what do you know there's the option to load into Windows 7. Let's see if it works :) | 07:07 |

| aRn0 | Hi all. If Chrome is the only browser to offer the latest flash for linux integrated, is there gonna be a better Chrome integration in Unity? | 09:53 |
| philipballew_ | aRn0, good question. With Ubuntu's new version of 12.04 released last week were now planning for 12.10. UDS is this and next week and we will see what we do there and this cysle to flash. I think firefox has something or will. | 09:59 |
| philipballew_ | Also, flash sites are moving away from flash and using html5 | 09:59 |
| philipballew_ | aRn0, you could try to intragrate it and submit your changes you know | 10:01 |
| philipballew_ | if you can program. | 10:01 |
| philipballew_ | I cant really well personally though | 10:01 |
| philipballew_ | but heres this link http://uds.ubuntu.com/ | 10:01 |
| aRn0 | Sorry guys I can't program. Just your average user who is interested in the development process. I got Chrome not because I like the browser but because I heard it's the way to go if you want flash to work fine in the future. | 10:11 |
| aRn0 | I look at Google products kind of critically... | 10:12 |
| philipballew_ | okay, sometimes people intrested in dev stuff can program | 10:13 |
| philipballew_ | aRn0, well you can look critically, thats why you dont have to use them | 10:14 |
| philipballew_ | use chromeium | 10:14 |
| === jacky is now known as JackyAlcine | ||
| aRn0 | It's the open source version of chrome right? Does it have flash integrated as well? | 10:14 |
| aRn0 | If it does have flash integrated why do Ubuntu sites like this one http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-12-04/ recommend using Chrome? | 10:15 |
| philipballew_ | well thats not a ubuntu site | 10:16 |
| philipballew_ | its a ubuntu fan's site | 10:17 |
| philipballew_ | you can use whatever you want. | 10:17 |
| aRn0 | What do you use for a browser and why_ | 10:17 |
| philipballew_ | chrome. I like the speed. | 10:18 |
| philipballew_ | I might switch to chromeium because apt-get update takes a while with chrome as their repo servers take days | 10:18 |
| aRn0 | After installing 12.04 64 I read the above entry and installed Chrome. But flash wouldn't work. Used this http://ubuntuguide.net/install-adobe-flash-plugin-in-ubuntu-12-04both-3264-bit guide to install it. Still not satisfied with the performance though... | 10:19 |
| philipballew_ | aRn0, i think chrome 64 does not have flash by default | 10:20 |
| philipballew_ | you have to install flash non free | 10:20 |
| aRn0 | I installed via Adobe download | 10:20 |
| philipballew_ | were you able toget it running right? | 10:20 |
| aRn0 | On the other hand I heard that flash for Firefox is gonna be supported for quite some time... | 10:21 |
| philipballew_ | firefox 12 just was released | 10:22 |
| philipballew_ | the mozilla team just added it | 10:22 |
| aRn0 | Yeah flash in Chrome 64 works fine | 10:23 |
| philipballew_ | how long you been a ubuntu user aRn0 | 10:24 |
| aRn0 | On and off since 10.04, not using Windows anymore since 11.10 | 10:24 |
| === JackyAlcine is now known as jacky | ||
| philipballew_ | aRn0, nice! what other ditros do you use? | 10:25 |
| aRn0 | Tried many. I like trim and slim ones. I'm thinking about using Lubuntu on my main rig. I like it a lot. Also tried Bodhi, Slitaz, TinyCore etc in virtualbox. I use Ubuntu because of the support. I like to experiment and learn new stuff but if I run into a problem, there's a this huge community and infrastructure so that's why I want to stay with Ubuntu right now | 10:28 |
| philipballew_ | bodhi is made by a guy who hangs out here | 10:28 |
| philipballew_ | have you ever used openbox? | 10:29 |
| aRn0 | Great idea, I like that it looks better than Lubuntu but needs a little less resources. Then again, I don't care for great looks... E17 is not for me | 10:29 |
| aRn0 | Yeah in Lubuntu | 10:29 |
| philipballew_ | are you involved in the community or your loco? | 10:30 |
| aRn0 | I'm a LXDE fan | 10:30 |
| philipballew_ | lxde is nice. my debian machine runs lxde | 10:30 |
| aRn0 | Nope, I'm in southwest Germany. France, Switzerland, Germany triangle | 10:30 |
| philipballew_ | what country exactly? | 10:31 |
| aRn0 | Germany | 10:31 |
| philipballew_ | or are you rich with many mansions :) | 10:31 |
| aRn0 | lol no | 10:31 |
| aRn0 | student | 10:31 |
| aRn0 | It's a triangle geographically | 10:31 |
| aRn0 | I tried Debian because I wanted to learn about its relationship to Ubuntu. I installed a bare Debian and added GUI stuff to learn more about what a distro is composed of | 10:32 |
| philipballew_ | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-de-locoteam | 10:32 |
| philipballew_ | wonder if this is updated | 10:32 |
| philipballew_ | i run a debian server. | 10:33 |
| philipballew_ | headless servers are fun if you ever want to learn whats going on. | 10:33 |
| aRn0 | I don't know how to contribute really other than to show people that linux is at home on the desktop now | 10:33 |
| aRn0 | Don't know much about servers :( | 10:34 |
| philipballew_ | well theres tons of stuff to do! | 10:34 |
| philipballew_ | you speak and write in more then english I assume? | 10:35 |
| philipballew_ | http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved | 10:36 |
| philipballew_ | ^always a good way to start | 10:36 |
| philipballew_ | but I recommend finding a few things to do and help out. they can always use translators probably or docs writters, or people to help others in here | 10:37 |
| aRn0 | I'm rather fluent in English and German of course, my mothertongue. I understand French but I don't speak it. I'll try to get in touch. | 10:38 |
| philipballew_ | alright. I can help you find a place. feel free to find me here or email | 10:39 |
| philipballew_ | philipballew@ubuntu.com | 10:39 |
| aRn0 | Cool, thanks! | 10:44 |

| RageRiot | hi, I'm trying to follow a guide to move my ubuntu install to a faster drive ( from IDE to SATA) ( I just installed it last night but realised the IDE is very slow | 13:52 |
| RageRiot | this is the guide http://ubuntuhowtos.com/howtos/move_system_partition_to_new_hard_drive_larger_partition | 13:52 |
| RageRiot | but the first steps dont work so I asume this might be due to a change in the latest release.. | 13:52 |
| RageRiot | to enable these repositories (multiverse and universe) go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager I cant find this | 13:52 |
| geirha | If you just installed Ubuntu, just installing it again on the right disk will be the easiest option | 13:53 |
| RageRiot | but the update took a while :S | 13:54 |
| holstein | RageRiot: i use tools from the http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ or clonezilla... but yeah, just reinstall if its a fresh install | 13:54 |
| RageRiot | is there anyway I can pull the update from this install | 13:54 |
| geirha | RageRiot: slow internet? | 13:54 |
| RageRiot | well it isnt terrible but it isnt that great | 13:55 |
| geirha | the packages downloaded for the update will be in /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 13:55 |
| RageRiot | 4mb | 13:55 |
| geirha | You can simply copy those over to the new install | 13:55 |
| RageRiot | just copy them over? | 13:56 |
| geirha | yes, to the same dir on the new install | 13:56 |
| RageRiot | I asume after the install is complete them and I just unchekck the option to install update ? | 13:56 |
| RageRiot | during the install that is.. | 13:57 |
| geirha | yes, then copy the packages over, then run the update-manager | 13:57 |
| RageRiot | fantastic :D | 13:57 |
| holstein | i dont install updates during the installation | 13:57 |
| RageRiot | I'll give it a go | 13:57 |
| RageRiot | heh seems to run extremely slow from the CD | 13:58 |
| holstein | RageRiot: live you mean? | 13:58 |
| RageRiot | I wasnt expecting anything fast | 13:58 |
| RageRiot | ye | 13:58 |
| RageRiot | but this desktop is old | 13:59 |
| holstein | thats not really what the ubuntu live CD is about.. if you want something like that, go with something like puppy or another one that loads into ram.. or customize ubuntu to do that | 13:59 |
| RageRiot | some of you might cringe | 13:59 |
| RageRiot | it's a dell | 13:59 |
| holstein | the ubuntu live CD is more about checking compatibility | 13:59 |
| RageRiot | yeh | 13:59 |
| geirha | Nah, dell is good | 14:00 |
| RageRiot | ubuntu doesnt like this del geforce fx5200 although I'm still very new so I've got no idea where to begin. | 14:00 |
| holstein | i say, just install and keep it simple.. take on things one a time, and be open minded | 14:01 |
| RageRiot | yeh. | 14:01 |
| RageRiot | I've wanted to escape the clutches of windows for a long time. I've always been a windows user so I doubt that will change any time soon but I hope to understand linux alot more | 14:03 |
| RageRiot | I'm on my win 7 pc atm | 14:03 |
| Sidewinder | RageRiot, We won't hold that against you. :-) | 14:08 |
| RageRiot | :) | 14:08 |
| Sidewinder | Well, maybe just a little. ;-) | 14:09 |
| RageRiot | hmm the live cd does seem to be running incredibly slow | 14:09 |
| RageRiot | ahh next screen loaded | 14:09 |
| Sidewinder | Live CDs always run slowly. | 14:10 |
| Sidewinder | Gotta; load all that data into ram; the CD player is also a bottle-neck. | 14:10 |
| RageRiot | I always thought they loaded at least the main portion in ram | 14:11 |
| geirha | usb might be slightly faster | 14:11 |
| RageRiot | just had to reboot into BIOS, I forgot to check if the SATA interface was enabled :P | 14:16 |

| jacky | Is it possible to set up a mail server proxy? | 15:27 |
| jacky | Like have my e-mail obtained on a different server and then pull in the e-mails from that service? | 15:27 |
| jacky | s/service/server? | 15:27 |
| RageRiot | how do I elevate permissions to copy /va/cache/apt/archive to my live install? | 15:36 |
| JoseeAntonioR | RageRiot: in a terminal, run sudo nautilus | 15:37 |
| RageRiot | just trying it | 15:39 |
| RageRiot | i got a permission error about a confi | 15:40 |
| RageRiot | g | 15:40 |
| RageRiot | and in that windows i dont see the drive i wanted to copy from. | 15:40 |
| JoseeAntonioR | RageRiot: maybe it's with another name, because that's the only way to copy them, I just did it like that yesterday | 15:41 |
| RageRiot | ok 1 min | 15:42 |
| geirha | RageRiot: You should find the mounted drives under /media | 15:42 |
| RageRiot | I've got it working now | 15:43 |
| RageRiot | I used the window I had of the source drive and copyed to to the location in the "sudu nautilus window | 15:43 |
| RageRiot | do i just run the updater and it will see them files ? | 15:44 |
| geirha | Ah right, that should be easier, yes :) | 15:44 |
| geirha | yes | 15:45 |
| RageRiot | ahh just noticed it says it found the files | 15:45 |
| RageRiot | nice :) it's all coming togeather | 15:45 |
| geirha | If you have multiple computers with ubuntu, you can set up apt-cacher-ng on one of them. | 15:46 |
| RageRiot | now, do I have to worry about device driver or like I'm used to with a windows PC do i need to hunt for and install them ? | 15:46 |
| geirha | then tell all computers to download packages from there; that way, you'll only download the same package from the internet once | 15:46 |
| RageRiot | ahh I'll keep that in mind but I'm just running the one pc with ubuntu atm but i might install it on my laptop | 15:47 |

| RageRiot | back again, trying to install a linux package now. I rebooted in recovery mode because it said I needed to have x server closed. I ran login and then the cmd susdo sh "pagage file.run" | 19:24 |
| RageRiot | but I get read only errors | 19:24 |
| RageRiot | the package is a device driver | 19:24 |
| RageRiot | sudo* | 19:25 |
| RageRiot | hi | 20:03 |
| philipballew | !ask | 20:04 |
| 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 !patience | 20:04 |
| RageRiot | was that for me ? | 20:04 |
| RageRiot | because I was here earlier | 20:04 |
| RageRiot | :P | 20:04 |
| RageRiot | I'm trying to install a gfx driver | 20:05 |
| RageRiot | I've ran the file and I get "the distribution-provided pre-install driver failed" | 20:05 |
| RageRiot | continute anyway.. when I tried this on a first attempt at ubunto 10 I ended up messing up video | 20:06 |
| RageRiot | the driver is nvidia | 20:06 |
| philipballew | rage why not just use the aditional drivers? | 20:07 |
| philipballew | jocky -gtk | 20:07 |
| RageRiot | I dont | 20:07 |
| RageRiot | know why | 20:07 |
| RageRiot | :P | 20:07 |
| RageRiot | what do you mean ? | 20:09 |
| philipballew | why RageRiot | 20:14 |
| RageRiot | ? | 20:15 |
| RageRiot | I'm confussed now | 20:15 |
| RageRiot | (philipballew) rage why not just use the aditional drivers? < -- I dont know what you mean by that | 20:15 |
| RageRiot | because I'm new to linux | 20:16 |
| RageRiot | I've just closed x server and ran the n vidia driver package | 20:16 |
| RageRiot | and got preinstall scipt failed | 20:16 |
| RageRiot | continue : yes / no | 20:17 |
| philipballew | RageRiot, no. use aditional drivers? | 20:17 |
| philipballew | do you not understand what I am saying? | 20:17 |
| RageRiot | what adidtional drivers ? | 20:17 |
| RageRiot | when I press no I'm back to the term | 20:17 |
| philipballew | log back into your graphical shell and launch the additional drivers application | 20:18 |
| RageRiot | ahh | 20:18 |
| RageRiot | nothing is listed | 20:18 |
| philipballew | why do you need a nvidia driver? | 20:18 |
| RageRiot | blank window | 20:18 |
| RageRiot | becasue I have a nvidia card | 20:18 |
| philipballew | but do the drivers already there work? | 20:19 |
| RageRiot | and it's slugish on the graphical shell | 20:19 |
| RageRiot | yes.. no 3d accelleration | 20:19 |
| philipballew | did you google your card followed by ubuntu? | 20:20 |
| RageRiot | no but I figured I'd supassed that by going to nvidia.com | 20:21 |
| philipballew | installing your own drivers is doable, but a pain in the ass | 20:22 |
| philipballew | do you want to have to install the driver over and over again everytime you update the kernel | 20:22 |
| philipballew | because that what will have to happen | 20:23 |
| philipballew | whats your graphics card? | 20:23 |
| RageRiot | geforce fx 5200 | 20:24 |
| RageRiot | well it doesnt sound good but I'm all for learning the hardware so I can get a linux understanding. | 20:24 |
| RageRiot | how often would one update the kernel.. | 20:25 |
| RageRiot | I doubt I'd be doing that often just yet | 20:25 |
| bioterror | FX 5200 is quite old? | 20:25 |
| RageRiot | I guess it proably is but it's either that or onboard vide | 20:25 |
| RageRiot | video | 20:25 |
| RageRiot | which only has 8 mb of usable ram for video | 20:26 |
| bioterror | nouveau supports NV34 | 20:26 |
