[07:48] as little as possible [07:49] lol same :D [07:49] best time to do pc work is when people do not need pc [07:49] true that [07:50] hows the upgrade going magespawn ? [07:50] still backing everything up [07:51] what you upgrading magespawn? [07:51] what a job hey [07:51] so lekker to just save /home [07:51] xp to 7 [07:52] oh nice :) [07:52] Who started ubuntu-za ? I see theres a site and twitter and everything [07:52] eeek [07:52] the ubuntu guys in 2004 [07:53] theres a facebook page too [07:53] i see :P [07:53] it is a loco community, the official one for sa [07:54] Thought it might be :P [07:55] Is it possible to put Ubuntu on an external hard drive? [07:55] yes [07:56] magespawn, does [07:56] he has a lappy with no hdd so runs it off a usb stick [07:57] I tried with a linux format cd but kept freezing, so i gave up :( [07:58] you have ubuntu on a pc it can make a startup from there [07:58] something creator [07:58] Oh? :D [07:58] Well i need to remove Ubuntu from that pc... as its not actually mine lol [07:58] ai! [07:59] and I have a nice big hdd, 1.5 Tb, would be better to keep it on there :) [08:00] lekker [08:00] you can also run ubuntu alongside any other OS too [08:01] So you're saying theres a program on Ubuntu which allows you to put ubuntu on an external device? :) [08:01] Yep, thats what I did, alongside windows 7 [08:02] i think its called usbcreator [08:03] will check it out, then im going to need help with uninstalling Ubuntu from the pc :P [08:03] oh ya windows doesnt even see its there [08:03] hehe [08:04] lol :) I heard you need a windows recovery/repair disk... i dont have one :( :S [08:05] have you got the windows dvd? [08:07] nope :( [08:08] ouch [08:09] :S uh oh [08:21] why does he need the windows disk? [08:22] he needs to remove ubuntu off the pc and win gotta boot after [08:23] so will need to go and do a recovery to fix the boot sector methinks [08:25] i think there is a way to do it without the windows disk [08:25] if it doesnt boot? [08:26] then you will need to help him [08:29] will need to google that [08:31] i thought you gotta use a cd and then remove the linux partition first [08:31] never done an uninstall [08:32] ya man will need to go that route because win dont see the ext partition [08:33] so it will have to repart the drive where linux is [08:33] what a painful job [08:40] you remove the linux partition using a gparted disk, then reconfigure the boot loader i think [08:40] hi nlsthzn [08:40] whew [08:41] ignore the last morning [08:42] or rather the last hi [08:46] :( [08:58] holy moly [08:58] just cleaned my keyboardfor the first time in its life [08:58] not a pretty sight [09:13] nlsthzn was a mis read comversation [09:14] here goes the install [09:20] bbl [09:23] Guys my LibreOffice is stuck in Afrikaans :| [09:23] That is a problem =D [09:27] :Kilos , any advice? :P [09:28] james_n7: magespawn had a solution [09:28] oh [09:28] lol i dont use office unless its to open something [09:29] how did it get to afrikaans in the first place? [09:30] just always was :s [09:31] says the default is Afrikaans :( [09:33] no man when you install you choose your language [09:33] you are using what now mate? [09:33] Yep [09:33] whew and i just came to kde [09:34] somewhere there must be settings preferences [09:34] dunno mif you can choose language there [09:34] s/mif/if [09:35] maybe join #mate i think it was [09:36] james_n7: do you know how to join other channels [09:36] looking... [09:36] cant find any language settings [09:36] i do yes :) [09:36] just type in /j #mate [09:37] ah they were helpful last time i went there [09:37] Ok , will ask them :) [09:37] South African? [09:37] good luck [09:37] no i dont think so [09:37] thanks :) [09:37] but english anyway [09:38] just state your problem clearly and wait for an answer [09:38] other channels dont just jump in till they know you need help and what you need [09:39] wb not_found [09:39] have you updated that thing you do? [09:41] james_n7: explain what the prob is to them [09:43] 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] brb [09:46] Kilos there should be a setting in the os to set the language [09:47] i wouldnt know magespawn always do everything in english [09:47] maybe he only installed afrikaans [09:49] love the way installs work, zip through the first 5 steps then take forever on the last [09:51] right back, im going to uninstall and reinstall [09:55] in and out === bakuman- is now known as bakuman [15:20] oh my [15:20] sharks playing like the bulls [16:39] Kilos: it's bad :/ [16:39] yeah terrible [16:40] but first half was shocking. like they were all half asleeep === Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za [17:41] good evening all [17:41] what's up? [17:46] hi charl__ very little [17:47] lurkerville [17:48] :) [17:50] do any of you guys/girls use so-called "cloud storage" (dropbox, ubuntu one, etc)? [17:51] am watching a video about encfs, looks very handy [17:52] i don't really use those services though, i use gpg+rsync+ssh which works pretty well for me [17:54] i used ubuntuone a coupla times [17:59] i wonder what the security is like on ubuntu one, it seems like most of these services the security leaves much to be desired [18:03] ? got nothing that needs securing [18:03] ok that's easy then :) [18:03] lol yeah [18:03] but that's not the case for most people though [18:05] i thought ubuntuone was secure. only peeps you share with can see the stuff === Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za [18:58] night all. sleep tight [19:30] good night :) [20:51] Yello [20:53] 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? :( [21:10] James-n7: i don't understand completely [21:10] you are installing windows7 [21:11] but you are trying to install ubuntu? [21:11] you resized a partition and you want to revert to a "normal" condition [21:11] 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] this was a while ago [21:12] ok, so it resized your windows ntfs partition from 1500gb to 490gb? [21:12] yes ! :D [21:12] but the installation failed [21:12] and now you want to... resize the partition back ? [21:12] no, its an external hard drive :) [21:13] ok now i'm confused [21:13] you were trying to install ubuntu on an external hard drive [21:13] in principle that's fine, as long as you can boot from it [21:13] but you resized an existing ntfs partition on the external hard drive? [21:13] look, the point is, i want full use of my external hard drive, not just 490 gb :) [21:14] ok, so you want to resize an ntfs partition on an external hard drive from 490gb to 1500gb [21:14] sorry i know this is frustrating but if you want help you need to explain your problem in detail :) [21:14] ntfs? Sorry, ur chatting to a noob here lol [21:15] the existing 490gb partition i mean (assuming it is ntfs if you were using windows), it doesn't matter which filesystem type it is [21:16] this is an ubuntu community/support channel so the best i can do is provide you with an ubuntu solution [21:16] 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] there is a tool called [21:16] sorry pressed enter by accident :) [21:16] there is a tool called "gparted", it can resize partitions [21:16] http://gparted.sourceforge.net/display-doc.php?name=help-manual#gparted-resize-partition [21:16] without formatting? [21:17] i can't say i've ever tried it before, especially not with ntfs [21:18] resizing partitions can be tricky, although you are trying to grow it, not shrink it, so that should be relatively safe [21:18] lol ok... just hope it doesnt format, otherwise ill have a heart attack, my lifes work is on there lol [21:18] you should have two copies of all your important data as a rule of thumb [21:18] this is somewhat old but: http://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted [21:19] this gparted does work on windows right? [21:19] there is a bunch more howtos and documents if you google [21:19] i have absolutely no idea, this is an ubuntu channel :) [21:19] for windows support, i'm sure there are other channels [21:21] 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] thank you for your help char1 [21:22] *charl [21:22] ah i see [21:22] no problem, glad to be of assistance :) [21:24] might i ask how i can uninstall ubuntu off a pc? [21:24] you can't really uninstall, but you can install something else over it [21:25] basically you have three things: a boot loader (grub or equivalent) and two partitions, a regular partition and a swap partition [21:25] you can also choose to have more partitions of course but on a "standard" setup [21:25] you can easily install any other operating system by simply removing the two partitions or installing something else over them [21:26] or even remove them and resize another partition, like a windows partition [21:26] however, the "tricky" part is getting the boot loader out of your MBR [21:26] the easiest way is to install something else over it [21:26] usually, when i do a reinstall, i start "clean" [21:27] i'm sure there will be some guides on how to remove grub on the internet though [21:27] i installed ubuntu along side windows 7 :) [21:27] 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 [21:28] but as always, before doing anything, make sure you have complete backups :) [21:28] the easiest might be to just reinstall windows for example [21:28] but you can always do that as a "last resort" if things get messy [21:28] as long as you have backups, that is ;) [21:28] thanks charl :) [21:28] np anytime! [21:29] could i format my hdd> would this get rid of the split partitions? [21:30] well there are two things: repartitioning and reformatting [21:31] the easiest way is usually removing all the partitions and creating one big partition in its place [21:31] then formatting the new parittion [21:31] 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] but then of course you lose all data on your existing partitions [21:31] thats alright, i will back up :) [21:31] ok, that might be the easiest and safest [21:31] resizing a partition is possible with a tool like gparted [21:32] but resizing is a technically a "tricky" business [21:32] ok cool :) Will try that rather, thanks very much fro your help charl :) [21:32] i think tools like gparted does it fairly well though [21:32] indeed... [21:32] always glad to help === Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za [22:29] Oo
