[00:24] <xubuntu718> Hi, can anyone field a -hopefully quick- reinstall question? unity ecch -> hey again, xubuntu
[00:44] <SudoCoffee> I might be able to
[00:45] <SudoCoffee> and if not, I may be able to point you in the right direction
[03:00] <dydzEz2_> hell yeah it worked
[03:00] <dydzEz2_> windows 8 and xubuntu dual boot wooo
[03:00] <SudoCoffee> Nice!
[03:01] <SudoCoffee> I've been wanting to try out Win8
[03:05] <dydzEz2_> sudocoffee
[03:05] <dydzEz2_> you gotta follow like specific instructions
[03:05] <dydzEz2_> and use boot repair
[03:05] <dydzEz2_> annoying stuff
[03:05] <dydzEz2_> [00:26:36] <<dydzEz2_>> xubuntu just started loading a black screen when I hit it afte
[03:05] <dydzEz2_> post 2 follow them and youre good to go
[04:22] <ehlu> Hey i need an excell app what is the best?
[04:25] <ehlu> is it libre?
[04:26] <moetunes> yep try that
[04:27] <Unit193> Gnumeric, Libreoffice, and I don't think openoffice is in repos.
[04:28] <Unit193> Or Microsoft Office works in wine.
[04:29] <Queen`Bee> openoffice is in the repos
[04:30] <Queen`Bee> libreoffice is better
[04:30] <Unit193> Doesn't appear to be in.
[04:31] <Queen`Bee> no your right. i have a ppa that has it apparently. my bad
[04:33] <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
[04:42] <ironhoof> Can I install Xubutnu on someones machine alongside windows 7, but I want windows 7 on an external HardDrive
[04:43] <ironhoof> ?
[04:43] <ironhoof> Actually I want Xubutntu on the external if I can
[04:44] <ironhoof> Win7 on the internal
[04:45] <Queen`Bee> windows wont boot from USB
[04:45] <dydzEz2_> isnt there a graphics driver option
[04:46] <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)
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <dydzEz2_> oh wait no, it just goes str8 to windows 8
[04:48] <Queen`Bee> boot repair usually fixes that
[04:50] <dydzEz2_> yeah if you try secure boot it just wont work at all
[04:50] <dydzEz2_> you cant do anything
[08:48] <nicholosophy> which is better - eclipse through apt or eclipse from the eclipse site?
[08:49] <nicholosophy> or does it even matter?
[08:51] <Queen`Bee> apt is a lot more likely to work with fewer problems
[08:53] <nicholosophy> ok thanks Queen`Bee

[18:16] <lopez> samba problems
[18:22] <well_laid_lawn> lopez:  looks like the seventh and eighth lines have spelling mistakes
[18:23] <lopez> so seventh line sohult be Samba laptop
[18:24] <well_laid_lawn> I was thinking 'srting' should be different
[18:25] <well_laid_lawn> sorting?
[18:26] <lopez> string
[18:27] <well_laid_lawn> there you go then
[18:27] <lopez> how do i reboot smb server
[18:28] <well_laid_lawn> try  sudo service smbd restart
[18:31] <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 ?
[18:32] <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
[19:10] <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..
[19:11] <ochosi> Jayneil: what version of xubuntu/thunar are you using?
[19:12] <Jayneil> xubuntu 12.04 with xfce 4.10 and thunar 1.6.2
[19:13] <ochosi> Jayneil: what kind of eject-problems are you having?
[20:06] <Inoki> Is there anyone who can help with Plank dock?
[20:16] <ula-atze> hey all
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <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?
[23:04] <ironhoof> ACERlemme get you that info
[23:06] <Unit193> Well it isn't Lenovo, Toshiba, or Samsung, so that's good.
[23:06] <ironhoof> ACER aspire M3470G
[23:08] <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
[23:10] <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)
[23:11] <recon_lap> ironhoof: so have you checked the BIOS to see if it detects the correct drive ?
[23:13] <recon_lap> ha, just looked up EFI :)
[23:18] <Bon-chan> guys, 4.10 is stable? planning to upgrade 4.8 to .10
[23:18] <ochosi> in my experience yes
[23:22] <ironhoof> i UNHOOKED THE MEMORY PUT IT BACK IN AND REBOOTED AND IT STARTED UPO >.>
[23:22] <ironhoof> corry caps,
[23:23] <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..
