| morten77 | hmm.... | 00:06 |

| msdaisy | how can you tell in the terminal whether a file is mounted or not? This is on a server with no gui BTW. | 00:14 |
| morten77 | I don't know... but I guess you can allways run "mount" and go from there | 00:19 |
| msdaisy | I did. I think I mounted it then I unmounted it. But ls gives the same output for both. So I can't tell whether it was mounted or not. | 00:21 |
| mattygee | hey, my wireless hardware switch used to be on by default till I plugged the ethernet cable into my computer. Now whenever I turn on my computer or it unsuspends I have to manually turn the hardware switch on by pressing f2 twice. Is there a way to make the wireless onn all the time? cheers | 07:32 |
| geirha | mattygee: I don't know, but my first guess would be that the bios is doing this. | 07:50 |
| geirha | If I start up my laptop with ethernet cable plugged in, wireless will still be active, so I don't think Ubuntu is doing anything "clever" there. | 07:51 |
| Quinto_ | I want to use one of my old computers as a server in my LAN. Mainly LAMP to test website stuff, etc. Maybe use it as fileserver too. Now I wonder if I should install Ubuntu-Server or Ubuntu-Desktop. Server seems like the obvious choice, but I thought I might actually take advantage of the comfort a "Windows"-like Interface brings | 09:46 |
| Quinto_ | I read that installing Unity or Gnome "by hand" later is not that easy | 09:47 |
| Quinto_ | so I thought maybe install Ubuntu-Desktop although the system will work as server. | 09:47 |
| geirha | It's not that hard, but just install the desktop | 09:48 |
| Quinto_ | it's the main reason I "failed" getting into linux the first time ;) Tried debian, worked nice as LAMP, tried to install KDE, got frustrated after X tries and went back to windows -.- | 09:50 |
| geirha | There's mainly only one difference between a server install and a desktop install; what packages they install. | 09:50 |
| geirha | You can convert a desktop install to a server install and vice versa just by removing and installing the right set of packages | 09:51 |
| Quinto_ | ok thanks, I think I'll go with the Desktop then. | 09:51 |
| geirha | doing sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop on a server install should get you a desktop just like if you had done the desktop install in the first place | 09:52 |
| Quinto_ | is there a reason the Server Install is marked as "amd64"? Won't it run on intel? | 09:52 |
| geirha | amd was first, so they got to name the architecture. it will work just as fine on an intel 64-bit processor | 09:53 |
| Quinto_ | ah ok, thanks. confusing way to name it though | 09:54 |
| geirha | just like a 32-bit amd processor will run i386 (intel 80386) just fine | 09:54 |
| stlsaint | is anybody having update issues after latest apt update? | 12:44 |

| cavemanzipper_ | helloo | 19:33 |
| cavemanzipper_ | ?? | 19:33 |
| holstein | cavemanzipper_: you installed ubuntu from what? | 19:46 |
| holstein | WUBI? | 19:47 |
| holstein | i would try downloading the iso and burning the CD, and trying it live on the hardware | 19:47 |
| Lammerix | hey everyone | 19:47 |
| holstein | could be some hardware that the kernel is not supporting | 19:47 |
| Lammerix | holstein, I tried to boot ubuntu from cd but booting takes forever | 19:48 |
| Lammerix | if that was the quesiton:) | 19:48 |
| holstein | i didnt ask a question, but i wouldnt expect it to be "snappy", i would expect to get a good idea of hardware support | 19:49 |
| Lammerix | is there anyone who you are speaking with already? if not, tell me your issue | 19:50 |
| alchemist9 | ??? | 19:52 |
| Lammerix | anyone using xchat-gnome? | 19:55 |
| alchemist9 | irssi myself.. | 19:57 |
| hobgoblin | xchat | 19:57 |
| Meridious | xchat here | 19:57 |
| Lammerix | beeping on messages? | 20:00 |
| Lammerix | okay, found it | 20:00 |
| Lammerix | type a msg | 20:01 |
| Meridious | NO | 20:01 |
| Meridious | II DONT WANT TO | 20:01 |
| Meridious | oh wait | 20:01 |
| Lammerix | i guess this sound plugin won't work | 20:02 |
| Meridious | :0 | 20:02 |
| Lammerix | okay, so anyone knows how to restore grub after 2 hours playing with it? | 20:03 |
| Lammerix | I guess Meridious isn't a beginner, are you? | 20:04 |
| Meridious | nope | 20:05 |
| Lammerix | do you know how to restore grub? | 20:06 |
| hobgoblin | reinstall it Lammerix - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstalling_GRUB_2 | 20:08 |
| Lammerix | hobgoblin: it's for 1.99 I guess. I have that one working almost okay. the 2.04beta is gone | 20:09 |
