asheshello04:16
ashesi replaced windows with kubuntu on my sister's laptop, and she is basically happy with it04:16
ashesshe is asking questions about setup that she would ask even if she was running windows04:17
asheslike making desktop shortcuts to firefox for facebook04:17
ashesshe is a perfect candidate for apple. she just wants it to work04:18
asheskubuntu is working for her04:18
asheswith my help04:18
ashesi run fvwm2 on openbsd, on my laptop, so i have to think of things differently with kubuntu04:19
ashesi can't expect my sister to run what i run, because upgrading packages for my laptop is not common sense stuff04:20
ashesher previous installation of windows7 was unusable, perhaps infected by malware04:21
ashesit got to the point that she said her laptop "didn't work"04:21
ashesand that was what i needed to install linux. she was at the point of being willing to learn a new desktop environment to save her hardware04:22
ashesnow her laptop works well04:22
ashesbut i am needed to install stuff04:23
ashesshe tried installing .exe files yesterday, and i explained that the kubuntu app store was the only place she should install from04:24

oyeHi. Yesterday I got Kubuntu installed in my laptop, thanks to Wubi. Everything went fine, the system is running smooth and sweet and nice. Now, my problem is that I can't boot back into Windows. I mean, everything goes fine, Grub loads, I select to boot Windows, and afterwards, nothing happens. It just gets stuck into a black screen. Any clues?07:38

BluesKajHey all11:09
nick_omegabefore i give up on the 13.04 installer that crashed twice just after starting to copy files over and install kubuntu 12 again, can anyone tell me if there's some sort of failsafe installer i could get into and try, and if it's worth a shot in your opinion11:20
nick_omegain my particular situation11:20
BluesKajwhat OS are you on atm . nick_omega ?11:21
nick_omegaBluesKaj, what?11:21
nick_omegaBluesKaj, its not an installation from another os11:21
nick_omegaBluesKaj, its a boot from the disk11:21
nick_omegaBluesKaj, you are thinking i am installing it from windows or something i think but that is not the case11:22
BluesKajnick_omega, there's a net install one can do to upgrade from an existing version , as an alternative , a method I had to use to install 13.04 beta11:23
nick_omegaBluesKaj, yes thats my plan b11:24
BluesKajI had to install 12.10 then do a net upgrade to 13.0411:24
nick_omegai hope i can net upgrade from 12.04 to 13.0411:24
BluesKajnick_omega, no you have to go 12.04>12.10>13.0411:25
BluesKajnick_omega, burn a 12,10 iso ,install it , then upgrade to 13.04 from there11:32
nick_omegaBluesKaj, how much better is that then the two net installs - kinda limited on time atm11:33
nick_omegaupgrades*11:33
BluesKaj2 net upgrades will take a lot longer in most cases unless you have a really fast internet connection11:34
nick_omegaBluesKaj, ok good to know11:34

BluesKajtintamar, you can do , sudo do-release-upgrade , to upgrade via the 'net , but make sure update and upgrade you present system first and disable any ppas for safety's sake16:22

rosco_yhow do I add the multiverse software source?22:10
SonikkuAmericarosco_y: It's in [ software-properties-kde ]22:10
SonikkuAmericarosco_y: Excuse me; not there, in [ muon ]22:11
rosco_ySonikkuAmerica: ty.  Is that a command-line program?22:11
rosco_yok, I have the dialog open from Muon->Settings->configure sources.  I'm just not seeing the "multiverse" option22:11
SonikkuAmericaThere should be 4 types: Main, Restricted, Universe, and Multiverse.22:12
rosco_yYour right (of course), I wasn't reading the whole thing--xcuse me22:13
rosco_ymy browsers are suddenly complaining that I need to upgrade my flash player22:13
rosco_yapt-get tells me I'm using the latest.22:13
SonikkuAmerica[ sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin-installer ]?22:14
SonikkuAmericaAre you using Rekonq?22:14
rosco_yFirefox and chromium22:15
rosco_yI don't really care for Rekonq....22:15
rosco_ymaybe I'm missing something there22:15
SonikkuAmericaReinstall it then, and reboot (or log out/in) when you're done.22:15
rosco_yflash player?22:15
rosco_ydownload the executeable installer, boot to command-line, install?22:16
rosco_yI've done that in the past...oh, I think that route also requires kernal sources and a recompile.22:16
rosco_ymaybe I'm thinking of suse22:16
rosco_yoh, use an option in apt-get to force a reinstall?22:17
rosco_yI tried apt-get and it didn't do anything because "I have the latest"22:17
SonikkuAmerica[ sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer ]22:17
SonikkuAmericarosco_y: ^22:18
rosco_yI'll try the force option, I believe I noticed that at one time or another--thanks SonikkuAmerica!22:18
