| nlsthzn | aaargggghhhh!!! | 06:53 |
| nlsthzn | the one thing I appreciate more of the kiwi's than the aussies is the commentators are way more neutral.... | 06:58 |
| Squirm | lol | 06:59 |
| Squirm | the aussies make it funny though | 06:59 |
| nlsthzn | sometimes... | 07:00 |
| nlsthzn | but it gets on ones nerves when they are winning :p | 07:00 |
| Squirm | lol | 07:00 |
| magespawn | morning all | 07:05 |
| nlsthzn | morning magespawn | 07:06 |
| magespawn | i think the english are worse when they win | 07:06 |
| magespawn | well at least the commentators | 07:06 |
| nlsthzn | not experienced that to much :p | 07:07 |
| nlsthzn | england don't win much | 07:07 |

| nlsthzn | I won't call it a hiding (yet) | 07:20 |
| Kilos | hehe you hoping they overdose on redbull at half time | 07:20 |
| nlsthzn | nope... but I do feel the crusaders are getting away with a bit much in the loose sometimes... lest see if it changes half-time | 07:21 |
| Kilos | seems like some rules have changed | 07:22 |
| Kilos | forward passes for example | 07:22 |
| Kilos | yesterday 2 forwards were acknowledged but still try given | 07:23 |
| Kilos | i get lost | 07:23 |

| magespawn | best time to do pc work is when people do not need pc | 07:49 |
| james_n7 | true that | 07:49 |
| Kilos | hows the upgrade going magespawn ? | 07:50 |
| magespawn | still backing everything up | 07:50 |
| james_n7 | what you upgrading magespawn? | 07:51 |
| Kilos | what a job hey | 07:51 |
| Kilos | so lekker to just save /home | 07:51 |
| magespawn | xp to 7 | 07:51 |
| james_n7 | oh nice :) | 07:52 |
| james_n7 | Who started ubuntu-za ? I see theres a site and twitter and everything | 07:52 |
| Kilos | eeek | 07:52 |
| Kilos | the ubuntu guys in 2004 | 07:52 |
| Kilos | theres a facebook page too | 07:53 |
| james_n7 | i see :P | 07:53 |
| magespawn | it is a loco community, the official one for sa | 07:53 |
| james_n7 | Thought it might be :P | 07:54 |
| james_n7 | Is it possible to put Ubuntu on an external hard drive? | 07:55 |
| Kilos | yes | 07:55 |
| Kilos | magespawn, does | 07:56 |
| Kilos | he has a lappy with no hdd so runs it off a usb stick | 07:56 |
| james_n7 | I tried with a linux format cd but kept freezing, so i gave up :( | 07:57 |
| Kilos | you have ubuntu on a pc it can make a startup from there | 07:58 |
| Kilos | something creator | 07:58 |
| james_n7 | Oh? :D | 07:58 |
| james_n7 | Well i need to remove Ubuntu from that pc... as its not actually mine lol | 07:58 |
| Kilos | ai! | 07:58 |
| james_n7 | and I have a nice big hdd, 1.5 Tb, would be better to keep it on there :) | 07:59 |
| Kilos | lekker | 08:00 |
| Kilos | you can also run ubuntu alongside any other OS too | 08:00 |
| james_n7 | So you're saying theres a program on Ubuntu which allows you to put ubuntu on an external device? :) | 08:01 |
| james_n7 | Yep, thats what I did, alongside windows 7 | 08:01 |
| Kilos | i think its called usbcreator | 08:02 |
| james_n7 | will check it out, then im going to need help with uninstalling Ubuntu from the pc :P | 08:03 |
| Kilos | oh ya windows doesnt even see its there | 08:03 |
| Kilos | hehe | 08:03 |
| james_n7 | lol :) I heard you need a windows recovery/repair disk... i dont have one :( :S | 08:04 |
| Kilos | have you got the windows dvd? | 08:05 |
| james_n7 | nope :( | 08:07 |
| Kilos | ouch | 08:08 |
| james_n7 | :S uh oh | 08:09 |
| magespawn | why does he need the windows disk? | 08:21 |
| Kilos | he needs to remove ubuntu off the pc and win gotta boot after | 08:22 |
| Kilos | so will need to go and do a recovery to fix the boot sector methinks | 08:23 |
| magespawn | i think there is a way to do it without the windows disk | 08:25 |
| Kilos | if it doesnt boot? | 08:25 |
| Kilos | then you will need to help him | 08:26 |
| magespawn | will need to google that | 08:29 |
| Kilos | i thought you gotta use a cd and then remove the linux partition first | 08:31 |
| Kilos | never done an uninstall | 08:31 |
| Kilos | ya man will need to go that route because win dont see the ext partition | 08:32 |
| Kilos | so it will have to repart the drive where linux is | 08:33 |
| Kilos | what a painful job | 08:33 |
| magespawn | you remove the linux partition using a gparted disk, then reconfigure the boot loader i think | 08:40 |
| magespawn | hi nlsthzn | 08:40 |
| Kilos | whew | 08:40 |
| magespawn | ignore the last morning | 08:41 |
| magespawn | or rather the last hi | 08:42 |
| nlsthzn | :( | 08:46 |
| nuvolari | holy moly | 08:58 |
| nuvolari | just cleaned my keyboardfor the first time in its life | 08:58 |
| nuvolari | not a pretty sight | 08:58 |
| magespawn | nlsthzn was a mis read comversation | 09:13 |
| magespawn | here goes the install | 09:14 |
| magespawn | bbl | 09:20 |
| james_n7 | Guys my LibreOffice is stuck in Afrikaans :| | 09:23 |
| james_n7 | That is a problem =D | 09:23 |
| james_n7 | :Kilos , any advice? :P | 09:27 |
| Kilos | james_n7: magespawn had a solution | 09:28 |
| Kilos | oh | 09:28 |
| Kilos | lol i dont use office unless its to open something | 09:28 |
| Kilos | how did it get to afrikaans in the first place? | 09:29 |
| james_n7 | just always was :s | 09:30 |
| james_n7 | says the default is Afrikaans :( | 09:31 |
| Kilos | no man when you install you choose your language | 09:33 |
| Kilos | you are using what now mate? | 09:33 |
| james_n7 | Yep | 09:33 |
| Kilos | whew and i just came to kde | 09:33 |
| Kilos | somewhere there must be settings preferences | 09:34 |
| Kilos | dunno mif you can choose language there | 09:34 |
| Kilos | s/mif/if | 09:34 |
| Kilos | maybe join #mate i think it was | 09:35 |
| Kilos | james_n7: do you know how to join other channels | 09:36 |
| james_n7 | looking... | 09:36 |
| james_n7 | cant find any language settings | 09:36 |
| james_n7 | i do yes :) | 09:36 |
| Kilos | just type in /j #mate | 09:36 |
| Kilos | ah they were helpful last time i went there | 09:37 |
| james_n7 | Ok , will ask them :) | 09:37 |
| james_n7 | South African? | 09:37 |
| Kilos | good luck | 09:37 |
| Kilos | no i dont think so | 09:37 |
| james_n7 | thanks :) | 09:37 |
| Kilos | but english anyway | 09:37 |
| Kilos | just state your problem clearly and wait for an answer | 09:38 |
| Kilos | other channels dont just jump in till they know you need help and what you need | 09:38 |
| Kilos | wb not_found | 09:39 |
| Kilos | have you updated that thing you do? | 09:39 |
| Kilos | james_n7: explain what the prob is to them | 09:41 |
| james_n7 | the problem is, my LibreOffice's default language is Afrikaans, upon enetering the LibreOffice language settings, the only languages it allows me to change to is Afrikaans (namibia) or Johannesburg | 09:43 |
| james_n7 | brb | 09:43 |
| magespawn | Kilos there should be a setting in the os to set the language | 09:46 |
| Kilos | i wouldnt know magespawn always do everything in english | 09:47 |
| magespawn | maybe he only installed afrikaans | 09:47 |
| magespawn | love the way installs work, zip through the first 5 steps then take forever on the last | 09:49 |
| james_n7 | right back, im going to uninstall and reinstall | 09:51 |
| magespawn | in and out | 09:55 |

| Kilos | hi charl__ very little | 17:46 |
| Kilos | lurkerville | 17:47 |
| charl__ | :) | 17:48 |
| charl__ | do any of you guys/girls use so-called "cloud storage" (dropbox, ubuntu one, etc)? | 17:50 |
| charl__ | am watching a video about encfs, looks very handy | 17:51 |
| charl__ | i don't really use those services though, i use gpg+rsync+ssh which works pretty well for me | 17:52 |
| Kilos | i used ubuntuone a coupla times | 17:54 |
| charl__ | i wonder what the security is like on ubuntu one, it seems like most of these services the security leaves much to be desired | 17:59 |
| Kilos | ? got nothing that needs securing | 18:03 |
| charl__ | ok that's easy then :) | 18:03 |
| Kilos | lol yeah | 18:03 |
| charl__ | but that's not the case for most people though | 18:03 |

| James-n7 | Yello | 20:51 |
| James-n7 | so I'm also upgrading to windows 7... need to back up... but upon trying to install ubuntu, I resized my partition to 490gb, and its a 1.4 tb hard drive... How do i make it normal again? :( | 20:53 |
| charl__ | James-n7: i don't understand completely | 21:10 |
| charl__ | you are installing windows7 | 21:10 |
| charl__ | but you are trying to install ubuntu? | 21:11 |
| charl__ | you resized a partition and you want to revert to a "normal" condition | 21:11 |
| James-n7 | lol, ok, so i was installing ubuntu on my hdd, but it froze during resizing partition... now i can only use 490gb out of my 1500gb | 21:11 |
| James-n7 | this was a while ago | 21:11 |
| charl__ | ok, so it resized your windows ntfs partition from 1500gb to 490gb? | 21:12 |
| James-n7 | yes ! :D | 21:12 |
| charl__ | but the installation failed | 21:12 |
| charl__ | and now you want to... resize the partition back ? | 21:12 |
| James-n7 | no, its an external hard drive :) | 21:12 |
| charl__ | ok now i'm confused | 21:13 |
| charl__ | you were trying to install ubuntu on an external hard drive | 21:13 |
| charl__ | in principle that's fine, as long as you can boot from it | 21:13 |
| charl__ | but you resized an existing ntfs partition on the external hard drive? | 21:13 |
| James-n7 | look, the point is, i want full use of my external hard drive, not just 490 gb :) | 21:13 |
| charl__ | ok, so you want to resize an ntfs partition on an external hard drive from 490gb to 1500gb | 21:14 |
| charl__ | sorry i know this is frustrating but if you want help you need to explain your problem in detail :) | 21:14 |
| James-n7 | ntfs? Sorry, ur chatting to a noob here lol | 21:14 |
| charl__ | the existing 490gb partition i mean (assuming it is ntfs if you were using windows), it doesn't matter which filesystem type it is | 21:15 |
| charl__ | this is an ubuntu community/support channel so the best i can do is provide you with an ubuntu solution | 21:16 |
| James-n7 | im using windows yes :) Theres nothing on my hard drive though, just movies and games etc. no ubuntu or anything :) I wanted to resize it back to its origial size | 21:16 |
| charl__ | there is a tool called | 21:16 |
| charl__ | sorry pressed enter by accident :) | 21:16 |
| charl__ | there is a tool called "gparted", it can resize partitions | 21:16 |
| charl__ | http://gparted.sourceforge.net/display-doc.php?name=help-manual#gparted-resize-partition | 21:16 |
| James-n7 | without formatting? | 21:16 |
| charl__ | i can't say i've ever tried it before, especially not with ntfs | 21:17 |
| charl__ | resizing partitions can be tricky, although you are trying to grow it, not shrink it, so that should be relatively safe | 21:18 |
| James-n7 | lol ok... just hope it doesnt format, otherwise ill have a heart attack, my lifes work is on there lol | 21:18 |
| charl__ | you should have two copies of all your important data as a rule of thumb | 21:18 |
| charl__ | this is somewhat old but: http://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted | 21:18 |
| James-n7 | this gparted does work on windows right? | 21:19 |
| charl__ | there is a bunch more howtos and documents if you google | 21:19 |
| charl__ | i have absolutely no idea, this is an ubuntu channel :) | 21:19 |
| charl__ | for windows support, i'm sure there are other channels | 21:19 |
| James-n7 | true, but its main function is too back up my computer, because all my computer data is going to be wiped, and if my hdd data is wiped before i format, then going to delay things hecticly :) but anyways, as long as i can repartition :) Sorry to bother with this, i just thought this was ubuntu related as i partitioned my drive with ubuntu... as i said, major noob here | 21:21 |
| James-n7 | thank you for your help char1 | 21:21 |
| James-n7 | *charl | 21:22 |
| charl__ | ah i see | 21:22 |
| charl__ | no problem, glad to be of assistance :) | 21:22 |
| James-n7 | might i ask how i can uninstall ubuntu off a pc? | 21:24 |
| charl__ | you can't really uninstall, but you can install something else over it | 21:24 |
| charl__ | basically you have three things: a boot loader (grub or equivalent) and two partitions, a regular partition and a swap partition | 21:25 |
| charl__ | you can also choose to have more partitions of course but on a "standard" setup | 21:25 |
| charl__ | you can easily install any other operating system by simply removing the two partitions or installing something else over them | 21:25 |
| charl__ | or even remove them and resize another partition, like a windows partition | 21:26 |
| charl__ | however, the "tricky" part is getting the boot loader out of your MBR | 21:26 |
| charl__ | the easiest way is to install something else over it | 21:26 |
| charl__ | usually, when i do a reinstall, i start "clean" | 21:26 |
| charl__ | i'm sure there will be some guides on how to remove grub on the internet though | 21:27 |
| James-n7 | i installed ubuntu along side windows 7 :) | 21:27 |
| charl__ | i'm sure there would be ways of doing it, just google around a bit, but i can't say i have personal experience in this regard | 21:27 |
| charl__ | but as always, before doing anything, make sure you have complete backups :) | 21:28 |
| charl__ | the easiest might be to just reinstall windows for example | 21:28 |
| charl__ | but you can always do that as a "last resort" if things get messy | 21:28 |
| charl__ | as long as you have backups, that is ;) | 21:28 |
| James-n7 | thanks charl :) | 21:28 |
| charl__ | np anytime! | 21:28 |
| James-n7 | could i format my hdd> would this get rid of the split partitions? | 21:29 |
| charl__ | well there are two things: repartitioning and reformatting | 21:30 |
| charl__ | the easiest way is usually removing all the partitions and creating one big partition in its place | 21:31 |
| charl__ | then formatting the new parittion | 21:31 |
| James-n7 | all i want is to get rid of this split in my partition... if i have to format to get rid of it, i'll do it :) | 21:31 |
| charl__ | but then of course you lose all data on your existing partitions | 21:31 |
| James-n7 | thats alright, i will back up :) | 21:31 |
| charl__ | ok, that might be the easiest and safest | 21:31 |
| charl__ | resizing a partition is possible with a tool like gparted | 21:31 |
| charl__ | but resizing is a technically a "tricky" business | 21:32 |
| James-n7 | ok cool :) Will try that rather, thanks very much fro your help charl :) | 21:32 |
| charl__ | i think tools like gparted does it fairly well though | 21:32 |
| James-n7 | indeed... | 21:32 |
| charl__ | always glad to help | 21:32 |
