[05:50] i guess its possible. is there a way to check? [05:50] i did also have hp tools. but i deleted it [05:52] nick123456: ah man don't delete partitions like that. at least make a ghost image first ;) (future reference) [05:53] on system details it says i have ubuntu 12.04 LTS [05:53] i didnt really think that one was necessary but thanks for the tip [05:54] nick123456: one sec [05:56] nick123456: on your windows machine you should have a C:\ubuntu directory [05:57] nick123456: thats IF you did wubi install....which i believe you did [05:57] what exactly is wubi? [05:59] nick123456: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#What_is_Wubi.3F [06:00] so should i remove this and reinstall ubuntu? [06:07] ? [06:07] nick123456: well its up to you [06:08] nick123456: you have ubuntu installed. Its just not a technical Live install [06:08] nick123456: and with 4GB space i would not suggest trying to install [06:09] i have a 500gb hard drive, would there be anyway to put it in that large chunck of space? [06:10] nick123456: a external hdd? [06:10] no. internal. its about 488 on my c: [06:11] if you wanted to do a full blown install i would suggest making a larger partition using windows disk management tool [06:11] and i would do that by booting with windows? [06:11] nick123456: yes [06:12] could you send me a link to instructions please? [06:12] nick123456: one sec [06:14] nick123456: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows [06:16] thank you so much. i just need help with one more thing.... removing what i have now [06:19] nick123456: removing ubuntu? [06:19] well.... wubi [06:19] nick123456: if you but in your windows and you see a ubuntu folder there then you have a wubi install and its super easy to remove.... [06:20] just uninstall from there? [06:20] nick123456: ha, even better. If you see Ubuntu under your "All programs" list under control panel you know you have a wubi install [06:20] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Uninstallation [06:20] nick123456: ^^ [06:20] appreciate all the help [06:21] nick123456: no prob. be careful. if you dont have ubuntu wubi install than dont go deleting partitions cause you have to turn your MBR back over to windows === glebihan__ is now known as glebihan [06:45] stlsaint: How do you change your MBR back to Windows if you want to stop dual-booting Linux?

[09:12] it downloaded it directly [09:13] but now when i try to install anything it gives me errors [09:13] you got it from nvidia ? [09:13] sorry for my english [09:13] yes [09:13] don't worry about the english [09:14] so you have apt errors from trying to install anything now as well? [09:14] yes excatly [09:14] we'll have to deal with those first then [09:14] and at the end it shows nvidia current [09:14] ok [09:15] can you open a terminal and run sudo apt-get update and post the output in a pastebin [09:15] !paste |acme [09:15] acme: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[09:24] hello [09:24] so it is installed and there are no apt errors ... [09:24] what are you getting a problem with? [09:25] you probably missed those [09:25] but it doesnt sem to be installed [09:25] the graphics quality is awful [09:25] its like there are no drivers [09:26] and firefox crashes when i fullscreen a video [09:26] when i move a window etc [09:27] do i have to restart after install ? [09:27] acme__: do this and paste the WHOLE ouput please cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:28] restart after install of nvidia is usually best - but to be honest I have seen people having problems with those old cards [09:28] cat: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory === tenach_ is now known as tenach [09:30] no such file or directory... [09:30] acme__: try sudo nvidia-xconfig [09:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1030122/ [09:32] try a reboot now [09:32] ok one min [09:33] but I might be gone - running out of time - someone will help I am sure if I am not here [09:33] i appreciate that :) [09:33] thanks very much [09:33] welcome [11:55] I just bought a new HDD and I've partitioned it on /dev/sdc and I understand how to manually mount it. How can I have it so it automatically mounts so each time? I would relocate my home folder to this drive if possible [12:01] !fstab [12:01] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [12:08] bioterror, so would I just add in my drive in fstab? I'm reading something about using UUID instead? [12:09] #UUID=d479195b-5ed4-4dff-be5b-45a097a8898c /media/Work ext4 defaults 0 1 [12:09] something like that, without # ;) [12:09] command "sudo blkid" gives you the uuid of the drive [12:09] oh, I see. so just use the UUID instead of /dev/sdc1 [12:10] UUID for the win [12:10] what are the defaults 0 1 for? [12:11] defaults are just options [12:12] if it should have any specific configurations, like mostly Windows XP partitions likes to have [12:12] what about that 0 1? I am looking on a page in help.ubuntu.com and they use 0 2 [12:12] or credentials like SMB [12:13] The 5th column in /etc/fstab is the dump option. Dump checks it and uses the number to decide if a filesystem should be backed up. If it's zero, dump will ignore that filesystem. If you take a look at the example fstab, you'll notice that the 5th column is zero in most cases. [12:13] The 6th column is a fsck option. fsck looks at the number in the 6th column to determine in which order the filesystems should be checked. If it's zero, fsck won't check the filesystem. [12:14] so in my case, I already have something that is one for fsck, so I should do 2 for my new drive? [12:15] yes [12:16] okay, thanks :) [12:20] bioterror, so now that it should automount all the time, will all users on this machine be able to access it? [12:20] or do I have to chown or something? [12:21] *chgrp [12:21] should work out of the box [12:21] perfect :D [12:21] thanks a bunch! [12:21] give it a shot [12:21] reboot [12:21] ;D [12:22] I assume you already had that mount point made? [12:22] I just made it now [12:24] just rebooting to test. back shortly [12:30] bioterror, it mounted just fine, but it won't let me write to it [12:31] half way there :D [12:31] :P [12:33] figure it's just a permissions thing then? [12:34] sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername /media/disks_UUID I believe. [12:35] yeah [12:35] chown it is [12:35] but I want all users to be able to access it [12:35] *write [12:35] all users to be able to write to it [12:36] * Sidewinder1 Steps aside for that; bioterror would be much better than I on the rest of the permissions thing. :-) [12:38] I'm a little slow today [12:39] been a rough workday and tired, but if the defaults is replaced with user? [12:39] in fstab? [12:39] deper29, And, while you wait and just for future reference, the "Ops" will correct you if you ask the same question in more than 1 channel in a short period of time. Just so that you know. :-) [12:39] deper29, There's even a factoid on it.. [12:40] !crosspost [12:40] Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [12:40] Sidewinder1, okay, thanks [12:40] deper29, yeah [12:40] deper29, My pleasure. [12:41] drwxrwxrwx 8 sad157 sad157 148 Nov 22 2011 Dump [12:41] damn [12:41] * Sidewinder1 Gives bioterror some caffeine. :) [12:41] deper29, chmod +w /media/folder [12:41] Sidewinder1, I quit coffee :D [12:42] Tea? [12:42] occasionally :D [12:42] Here...../ [12:42] HTH. [12:42] bioterror, there, that's all done. do I have to reboot again? [12:42] deper29, nope [12:43] give it a shot now [12:43] sudo chown +w /path/to/whatever [12:44] got it, it works for me. just going to try other user on machine [12:45] bioterror, no dice on the other user [12:46] if you say ls -la [12:46] what are the attributes for the folder? [12:46] bioterror, I just checked the chown 'man' page and didn't see any reference to the "w" flag/option. What does it do? Not to interrupt,, [12:47] give write access [12:48] no, chown doesn't have that command. you are thinking chmod [12:48] no [12:48] could be :D [12:48] lol [12:49] bioterror, http://pastebin.com/5UD01dZw [12:49] jsut a moment [12:52] yeah [12:52] sudo chmod +w folder [12:52] that should really do it [12:54] still nope :( [12:54] it does for me :P [12:56] just not that other user [13:07] bioterror, I got it :) [13:07] good [13:07] !cookie | deper29 [13:07] deper29: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [13:07] lol [13:07] I had to chgrp [13:07] then give chmod g+w [13:07] good [13:08] now I can leave my work with happy mind [13:08] my last question, on the desktop it appears as 2.0 TB Filesystem. Can I change that name? Or would that involve me reformatting? [13:08] you can change [13:08] lol [13:08] how do I do that? gparted? [14:30] Hello! I am interested in using a Ubuntu based distro to run a system with the following spec. The distro is Trisquel. It uses Linux-libre. Do you think it will run this hardware? What do you think of the spec? [14:30] http://pastebin.com/qAVigB2Q [14:41] yeehi, Looks like an impressive system. :) Nothing on your pastebin 'jumped out' at me; I think ubuntu would be superb with that system. You'll probably need to do some "tweaking' with the cam if you're intending to do skype, etc.. And, good luck with it! [14:42] Thank you sidewinder1! It was very kind of you to look at the hardware for me [14:42] yeehi, My pleasure; I just wish it was "MY", system. :-) [14:43] Somebody told me that the wifi card is an atheros AR9382 http://www.anandtech.com/show/4590/bigfoots-killern-1102-wireless-networking-vs-the-world [14:43] haha! [14:43] Well, I haven't got it yet! But I think the solid state drive would be gorgeous! Intel is meant to be far and away the best for SSD at the moment [14:46] yeehi, Agreed; I stick with Intel as much as possible. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with wifi cards. Have you searched ubuntuforums.org for that exact card to see if anyone has had any problems with it? [14:47] I haven't done that yet - It might work on Ubuntu, but Ubuntu uses a Linux kernel. Trisquel doesn't. It uses a Linux-libre kernel, and it won't support proprietory drivers [14:50] Unfortunately I know nothing about Trisquel either. Actually it's nice to see someone who is doing their research first, rather than purchasing a whole bunch of 'off the wall' hardware; then, coming here complaining that "Ubuntu sucks", very refreshing. :) [15:34] Hi [15:34] How I can join ubuntu beginners team for contribute [15:34] ? [15:37] Anybody here ? [15:40] Nirav, your on now, help when needed [15:45] I believe that there's also an #ubuntu-beginnersteam channel, but I'm not certain of it's topic/purpose. I guess you could check it out. :) [15:48] It's #ubuntu-beginners-team and > Topic for #ubuntu-beginners-team is: Support [15:49] According to the channel topic === M0hi is now known as IAmNotThatGuy [17:07] philinux, ^ According to the topic above, beginners-team is for off-topic. Thanks for your input, though. :-) Been coming here so long that I don't re-read the topics. I wonder what the difference is between beginner-team (ot) and #ubuntu-offtopic; one of those "mysteries", I suppose. :) === yofel_ is now known as yofel [18:52] I should be able to install ubuntu in on a machine by putting its HD on another machine, installing, and then moving it back, right? [18:56] raubvogel: why would you do that? [18:56] Hi I am having a problem with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit [18:57] !ask [18:57] 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 [18:57] Whenever I'm using java the computer freezes and the mouse goes to the exterme right of the left screen [18:57] stlsaint: machine in question has no usb, cd, or ethernet? It only has wireless [18:59] Actually whenever I'm doing anything it can randomly freeze and the mouse goes to the exterme right of the left screen [19:00] Nate___: desktop or laptop? [19:00] Desktop [19:00] Built it myself [19:01] raubvogel: hrm, possibly though i would suspect issues with drivers [19:01] stlsaint: I was not aware I asked to ask a question [19:01] raubvogel: was not meant for you [19:01] Oh [19:01] In any case, the drivers issue is what I am concerned about [19:02] I mean, if I get wireless running, all is well [19:03] raubvogel: wireless should not be a major issue as all drivers are handled via kernel which detect the wireless. No graphics on the other hand will need to be adjusted [19:03] raubvogel: you will need to boot into safe mode on the new computer after putting in the drive with linux [19:03] That could be a bit of an issue since the machine in question is an ex-medical tablet. i.e. now keyb [19:03] s/now/no/ [19:04] raubvogel: no keyboard, no usb, no cdrom? What are you planning on using this system for?? [19:04] As a tablet [19:04] Mostly to draw [19:04] touche UI?? [19:05] Possible [19:05] Lemme see if I find the specs on it, since it is at home [19:05] no not possible. You install ubuntu on a system it is not a tablet [19:05] Oh [19:06] Bummer [19:06] Nate___: Can you try a different mouse? [19:06] Nate___: and what version of java you using? [19:07] stlsaint: I've tried it with 2 different mice, and I'm using OpenJDK 7. Also it's not my mouse, the music freezes too [19:07] raubvogel: you could mabye use something like ubuntu-core for some custom build on a device though thats a bit advanced [19:07] raubvogel: my suggestion is to ditch that system or find a way to bluetooth a keyboard to it [19:08] Nate___: you take a look at logs? [19:08] Nate___: and if it freezes whenever you use the system what makes you think its java related? [19:09] stlsaint: Sure where would they be. I'm fairly new to linux [19:09] under your /var/logs [19:09] stlsaint: Whenever I play minecraft or do something graphics intensive it happens [19:10] that begs to wonder even more what i stated before...what makes you think its java [19:10] Minecraft is java based [19:10] I corrected myself later [19:10] Which log is it? [19:12] one sec [19:13] Nate___: i would take a look at your syslog (possibly shows as syslog.1) and your xorg log [19:14] I have syslog and syslog.1 and 3 different xorg logs [19:14] only view the main xorg [19:14] xorg.1.log?
