| dydzEz2_ | and use boot repair | 03:05 |
| dydzEz2_ | annoying stuff | 03:05 |

| ehlu | Hey i need an excell app what is the best? | 04:22 |
| ehlu | is it libre? | 04:25 |
| moetunes | yep try that | 04:26 |
| Unit193 | Gnumeric, Libreoffice, and I don't think openoffice is in repos. | 04:27 |
| Unit193 | Or Microsoft Office works in wine. | 04:28 |
| Queen`Bee | openoffice is in the repos | 04:29 |
| Queen`Bee | libreoffice is better | 04:30 |
| Unit193 | Doesn't appear to be in. | 04:30 |
| Queen`Bee | no your right. i have a ppa that has it apparently. my bad | 04:31 |
| Cheri703 | office 2010 or newer doesn't work in wine | 04:33 |
| Cheri703 | at least as recently as a few months ago it didn't | 04:33 |
| ironhoof | Can I install Xubutnu on someones machine alongside windows 7, but I want windows 7 on an external HardDrive | 04:42 |
| ironhoof | ? | 04:43 |
| ironhoof | Actually I want Xubutntu on the external if I can | 04:43 |
| ironhoof | Win7 on the internal | 04:44 |
| Queen`Bee | windows wont boot from USB | 04:45 |
| dydzEz2_ | isnt there a graphics driver option | 04:45 |
| Queen`Bee | xubuntu will install to external hard drive and migrate to just about any computer | 04:46 |
| dydzEz2_ | like i remember a hardware drivers area | 04:46 |
| Queen`Bee | its in the software updater | 04:46 |
| Cheri703 | dydzEz2_: on xubuntu it's settings > software sources > additional drivers | 04:46 |
| Cheri703 | regular ubuntu it's its own thing | 04:46 |
| dydzEz2_ | thanks | 04:46 |
| Cheri703 | ironhoof: having xubuntu on an external harddrive should be very doable | 04:46 |
| Cheri703 | dydzEz2_: I had to google when I first installed :) | 04:46 |
| Cheri703 | (for that specific thing) | 04:46 |
| Queen`Bee | if you have an ATI HD 2xx, 3xxx or 4xxx series card, dont bother installing the drivers, they wont work | 04:47 |
| ironhoof | Awesome, just trying to help a friend and he wants to keep his win7 | 04:47 |
| dydzEz2_ | i guess no proprietary drivers are needed for my install | 04:47 |
| dydzEz2_ | well atleast i got dual boot on UEFI with windows 8 working finally | 04:47 |
| dydzEz2_ | stupid new laptops with secure boot | 04:47 |
| dydzEz2_ | if i turned on secure boot would it even work at this point | 04:47 |
| dydzEz2_ | oh wait no, it just goes str8 to windows 8 | 04:48 |
| Queen`Bee | boot repair usually fixes that | 04:48 |
| dydzEz2_ | yeah if you try secure boot it just wont work at all | 04:50 |
| dydzEz2_ | you cant do anything | 04:50 |
| nicholosophy | which is better - eclipse through apt or eclipse from the eclipse site? | 08:48 |
| nicholosophy | or does it even matter? | 08:49 |
| Queen`Bee | apt is a lot more likely to work with fewer problems | 08:51 |
| nicholosophy | ok thanks Queen`Bee | 08:53 |

| well_laid_lawn | lopez: looks like the seventh and eighth lines have spelling mistakes | 18:22 |
| lopez | so seventh line sohult be Samba laptop | 18:23 |
| well_laid_lawn | I was thinking 'srting' should be different | 18:24 |

| lopez | string | 18:26 |
| well_laid_lawn | there you go then | 18:27 |
| lopez | how do i reboot smb server | 18:27 |
| well_laid_lawn | try sudo service smbd restart | 18:28 |
| lopez | I am using nautilus and it wants Domain | 18:31 |
| lopez | is Domain another word for workgroup | 18:31 |
| lopez | or is it the name of the serevr | 18:31 |
| lopez | server | 18:31 |
| lopez | or the computer trying to connect to it ? | 18:31 |
| well_laid_lawn | a domain is something like .com | 18:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | so something like servername.com | 18:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | bbiab | 18:32 |
| Jayneil | Is there way to completely replace Thunar with Nautilus without disrupting the xfce env. ? Based on what other users have reported on the net, it seems unlikely.. but just want to make sure.. In my case the 'eject' option does not work well with a few devices while in nautilus, it works fine.. | 19:10 |
| ochosi | Jayneil: what version of xubuntu/thunar are you using? | 19:11 |
| Jayneil | xubuntu 12.04 with xfce 4.10 and thunar 1.6.2 | 19:12 |
| ochosi | Jayneil: what kind of eject-problems are you having? | 19:13 |

| ula-atze | hey all | 20:16 |
| ironhoof | I was going to swap drives and install linux on the second drive, now my computer wont boot at all the light comes on but no beeps. I think I know what this means... I just gotta hear it from someone else | 23:02 |
| ochosi | what, not even any bios? | 23:03 |
| ironhoof | computer is less than a year old | 23:03 |
| ironhoof | Nothing just black the drive opens and closes the light comes on the fans run, it doesnt beep though or display anything on the screen | 23:03 |
| Unit193 | What brand? Did you try 64bit EFI boot? | 23:03 |
| ironhoof | ACERlemme get you that info | 23:04 |
| Unit193 | Well it isn't Lenovo, Toshiba, or Samsung, so that's good. | 23:06 |
| ironhoof | ACER aspire M3470G | 23:06 |
| ironhoof | The drive that came with it is EFI, and i couldnt install linux on it, so i put in a older drive and it installed run on that fine. so today I took the bigger drive out (formatted) it to mbr put it back in and nothing, not even on the drive i was using previously now it appears dead, Whenever you tried to change the drive contents it would change them back | 23:08 |
| ironhoof | I was a windows 7 machine | 23:08 |
| Unit193 | (Sorry but I have to go and clear the walk/drive, we got a couple feet of snow or such and live on a steep drive) | 23:10 |
| recon_lap | ironhoof: so have you checked the BIOS to see if it detects the correct drive ? | 23:11 |
| recon_lap | ha, just looked up EFI :) | 23:13 |
| Bon-chan | guys, 4.10 is stable? planning to upgrade 4.8 to .10 | 23:18 |
| ochosi | in my experience yes | 23:18 |
| ironhoof | i UNHOOKED THE MEMORY PUT IT BACK IN AND REBOOTED AND IT STARTED UPO >.> | 23:22 |
| ironhoof | corry caps, | 23:22 |
| ironhoof | It still doesnt recognise the installation it wrote the GTP table back onto it XD | 23:23 |
| ironhoof | I never heard of secure EFI.. | 23:23 |
