[00:59] <stlsaint> ntwrk_keith: wlan through command?
[01:02] <ntwrk_keith> CLI
[02:54] <msdaisy> how do you restart a service (in particular the nfs server) in command line?
[02:54] <msdaisy> I'm typing sudo nfs-kernel-server restart and I get "command not found"
[02:56] <msdaisy> duh. forgot the 'service'
[06:10] <Sox> How do I install an earlier kernel? The one that comes with 12.04 doesn't have drivers that support my equipment and I know the earlier kernels did.
[06:15] <JoseeAntonioR> Sox: You should install a previous version, then.
[06:15] <Sox> I guess that probably would work best. Do you know where I can find older versions of Ubuntu to download?
[06:16] <JoseeAntonioR> Sox: sure, http://releases.ubuntu.com
[06:16] <Sox> Okay, great! One more question:  How do I keep the distro from updating to the newest version.
[06:16] <JoseeAntonioR> just don't upgrade the version, just the packaged
[06:17] <JoseeAntonioR> you will be prompted with the option, but don't choose it
[06:17] <Sox> Okay, so when my distro's auto-update tries to update the version, I'll deselect it and just let it update the various packages, right?
[06:18] <JoseeAntonioR> yep
[06:18] <Sox> Thanks a lot. Have a good one!
[06:18] <JoseeAntonioR> you too!
[08:24] <alo21> ji all
[08:24] <alo21> hi*
[08:25] <alo21> can someone help me just for a while, please?
[09:43] <drsa2> hello
[09:44] <drsa2> i was using ubuntu 10.10
[09:44] <drsa2> i use whole 320 gb hard disc for ubuntu
[09:44] <drsa2> i would like to upgrade 10.10 to 12.04
[09:45] <geirha> ouch
[09:45] <geirha> If you had 10.04, you could've upgraded directly to 12.04
[09:45] <drsa2> my question is am i able to partition ubuntu as in windows
[09:45] <geirha> but from 10.10 you have to upgrade to 11.04, then 11.10, then 12.04
[09:46] <drsa2> like c drive and d drive so on
[09:46] <drsa2> no i downloded 12.04 from the forum
[09:46] <geirha> You want to install 12.04 alongside 10.10?
[09:46] <drsa2> no
[09:47] <drsa2> you know in windows we got c drive  we install OS
[09:47] <geirha> you can split your system into multiple partitions, yes, but there's no c: d: etc. Instead you assign them directories
[09:48] <drsa2> ya
[09:48] <drsa2> how do i do
[09:48] <drsa2> that
[09:48] <StarChild_> Hi everyone. I have a problem
[09:48] <geirha> what's the goal here?
[09:49] <drsa2> after making directories if i upgrade from my current os to 12.04 will i loose data
[09:49] <geirha> a common setup is to have a smaller partition (15-30GB) for /, the rest for /home
[09:49] <geirha> drsa2: If you upgrade, no. If you install, yes
[09:50] <geirha> So it sounds like you want /home on a separate partition
[09:50] <StarChild_> When I install Ubuntu server 12.04 with lvm encrypted partitions I cant use GRUB_GFXMODE in /etc/default/grub. It's working great without the encryption
[09:50] <StarChild_> why?
[09:51] <drsa2> ok then you know if i do /home in a seperate partition am i able to update os with out loosing the data
[09:51] <drsa2> update / install
[09:51] <geirha> drsa2: You'll be able to install the new os over the old without wiping your homedir
[09:51] <StarChild_>  /boot isn't encrypted, so I dont understand why this shouldn't work? (I have run update-grub)
[09:51] <drsa2> ok i need that
[09:52] <geirha> !movehome
[09:52] <drsa2> i use tomboy notes alot
[09:52] <ubot2> Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[09:52] <drsa2> and my photos and other libreries
[09:53] <geirha> StarChild_: Not my area of expertice, but I'd also expect that to work regardless of encryption
[09:53] <geirha> drsa2: And your photos and music etc, are stored somewhere under your homedir, right?
[09:56] <StarChild_> yeah, I ripped my hear off until I found that a clean install with encrypted trough the installation program was the problem, and exactly the same installation procedure but without encryption dosn't work.
[09:56] <geirha> drsa2: Try following that guide. Ask in here, if anything is unclear
[09:57] <StarChild_> And I cant find anyone with the same problem when I google it, maybe I cant google..
[09:57] <drsa2> s
[09:57] <StarChild_> sorry, "without encryption it works"
[10:08] <poltu> Hi
[10:09] <poltu> i am some geting problem with my usb device
[10:10] <poltu> any body can help me?
[10:10] <poltu> USB pendrive is not working in my ubuntu 12.04
[10:11] <StarChild_> poltu: what does it say then?
[10:11] <poltu> nothing
[10:12] <poltu> no respond
[10:12] <StarChild_> fat32 pendrive on a Ubuntu desktop edition machine?
[10:13] <poltu> ntfs MSI netbook U270
[10:13] <StarChild_> and it's not a virtual mashine?
[10:14] <poltu> dawonload vartual usb analyzer
[10:16] <poltu> what can i do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[10:18] <geirha> does it work on other machines/operating systems?
[10:18] <poltu> yes work it
[10:20] <geirha> If it has ntfs, the most likely reason for it to fail is that it was not properly unmounted, i.e. forgetting to do "safely remove usb"
[10:20] <geirha> Only windows can deal with that since ntfs is a proprietary filesystem
[10:21] <poltu> ok
[10:21] <poltu> than
[10:21] <geirha> so, if you have a windows system available, plug it in there, do a filesystem check on it, then choose to "safely remove"
[10:21] <geirha> see if it works on your Ubuntu system after that
[10:24] <poltu> not working
[10:25] <poltu> windows dedect and working but ubuntu not working what hapend i dont know?
[10:29] <StarChild_> is it working in ubuntu if you format it to fat32?
[10:30] <poltu> i do this
[10:35] <poltu> when i insart pendrive just few second blink than off no respond?
