| <hilldu> What channel could i get support for mounting partitions | |
| <johanbr> hilldu: This one might not be so bad. :) Have to run myself, though... | |
| <hilldu> >Is possible to mount a ntfs partition that is on the same phisical drive as my linux partition? | |
| <tonyyarusso> hilldu: yep | |
| <tonyyarusso> !mount | |
| <tonyyarusso> !ntfs | |
| <tonyyarusso> bah, no ubotu here | |
| <tonyyarusso> hilldu: /msg ubotu mount | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> hello | |
| <hilldu> hi | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> hilldu: your new | |
| <hilldu> yep | |
| <hilldu> im trying to quit my microsoft addiction ;) | |
| <kupesoft> hilldu: Cold turkey is the best way to quit any addiction. Ask G. W... | |
| <hilldu> im workin on it.. i just need to mount the drive with all my music and videos on it | |
| <tonyyarusso> Why would you ask GW for anything.... | |
| <hilldu> are we talking about Bush? | |
| <tonyyarusso> I was, ya | |
| <hilldu> well then i would ask him for a contract to rebuild iraq... hehehe $$$$$ | |
| <tonyyarusso> Too late. | |
| <tonyyarusso> You don't already have connections, and he doesn't own any stock in your company. | |
| <tonyyarusso> You don't seem to know the "bidding" process very well. :P | |
| <hilldu> lol | |
| <hilldu> ok, i ran "sudo fdisk -l" but its not returning a partition that i want to mount | |
| <hilldu> it shows up in device manager though. how would i mount this drive | |
| <tonyyarusso> fdisk can't see it? weird. What's the dev man say? | |
| <hilldu> it calls it /dev/HDD1 | |
| <hilldu> no wait /dev/hdd | |
| <tonyyarusso> hdd1 is the partition though | |
| *** kupesoft__ is now known as kupesoft | |

| <etchian_> Anybody here familiar with the body of Ubuntu documentation? | |
| <tonyyarusso> etchian_: Depends what you mean | |
| <tonyyarusso> hilldu: Is hdd in /dev? | |
| <hilldu> yes | |
| <etchian_> Linuxbasics.org is planning to make a free on-line linux course (GUI) for new users to Linux, and we have chosen the Ubuntu distro as our distro of choice | |
| <tonyyarusso> Cool | |
| <etchian_> Is there any tutorial or documentation, gfdl, or copyrighted, that already exist? | |
| <etchian_> Or will we have to write our own manual? | |
| <etchian_> Or do you know where I should ask this question if it has to be somewhere else? | |
| <tonyyarusso> etchian_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/, https://help.ubuntu.com/, ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com, #ubuntu-doc | |
| <etchian_> Tx. | |
| <hilldu> one drive is a IDE the other is SATA | |
| <hilldu> the one my linux partition is on is the SATA | |
| <tonyyarusso> hmm | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> does anyone know how to convert chm files to pdf? | |
| <johanbr> Never even heard of chm. Where's that format from? | |
| <koi-mobile> compressed help files? | |
| <tonyyarusso> mylesbraithwaite: no idea, sorry | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> i have about 50 of them and i need another viewer to open then all | |
| <tonyyarusso> xchm will work, but I don't know how to avoid another viewer | |
| <koi-mobile> can you print them to pdf from xchm? | |
| <tonyyarusso> don't know | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> not really | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> johanbr: an evil company | |
| <johanbr> mylesbraithwaite: Apparently there's also a KDE viewer called kchmviewer. | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> ya i have used them all | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> even booted into my windows to see if i could convert but nothing | |
| <johanbr> kchmviewer doesn't let you print to PDF? | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> hey guys | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> anyone around? | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> * | |
| <Madpilot> denis_on_ubuntu, hi | |
| <Madpilot> just making dinner, so I'm only sort of 'around' :) | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> glad someone's alive | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> I am completely new to Ubuntu (and linux for that matter) so just exploring. | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> and trying to figure out how to get things to work (ie graphics card, proper sound codecs and such) | |
| <Madpilot> denis_on_ubuntu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats for sound codecs, Java, Flash etc | |
| <Madpilot> is your graphics card ATI or Nvidia? | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> nvidia | |
| <Madpilot> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> i have a compaq presario v3000, but i cant figure out how to get wireless to be an option in the network menu | |
| <Madpilot> wireless can be hard - and I'm the wrong person to help, because I still get my internet thru long pieces of Cat5... | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> oh man heh | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> yeah well i guess i'l try atleast get the video - one thing at a time right | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> have you any idea what I must do though to listen to MP3s even? It gives me a "you need a decoder" | |
| <Madpilot> look at that RestrictedFormats URL | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> thank you | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> question though, I have a 64 bit processor, but i have no clue as to whether the version of Ubuntu i got is 32 bit / 64 bit, so how do i get the packages i need? | |
| <denis_on_ubuntu> do i just assume it's 64 or..? | |
| <kupesoft> So what are you guys in to for the meetings at the Linux cafe, | |
