[02:17] MadameTock: when I enter in terminal I cannt write anything [02:18] MadameTock: because a small white cursor only lights [02:18] Is your mouse working? [02:18] MadameTock: if i write anything....it doesnt work [02:18] MadameTock: yes...mouse works [02:18] Is your mouse over the terminal? [02:19] MadameTock: no....I tried through alt+F3... [02:19] MadameTock: then a terminal starts [02:19] MadameTock: I also tried through right clicking on the desktop then > create luncher [02:20] Do you click on the terminal, or just start typing? [02:21] MadameTock: when I press alt+f3 the full screen becomes terminal( a black screen)...I dont need to press mouse....because there mouse doesnt appear [02:23] shahan, is your desk top even starting, or are you staying in terminal?

[02:26] MadameTock: ok...wait...I am going to trying this.... [02:27] MadameTock: hope I will get u [02:27] shahan: let me know when you have a terminal open.

Well, once you get your terminal open, type in [02:28] rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/panel [02:29] That will reset your panel. To test, just restart! [02:30] MadameTock: tnx === mohi1 is now known as mohi_away [02:52] MadameTock: hi [02:52] MadameTock: r u here?

[03:28] MadameTock: BANGLADESH, DHAKA [03:28] ibuclaw, paultag, tenach says you would know how to help with this problem.

I'll be here for a while so take your time and write in long sentiences :) [03:30] paultag: hi [03:30] Hi :) [03:30] paultag: I have a gnome problem [03:31] paultag: I lost my two panel of my desktop [03:31] shahan, take your time and explain it in nice long sentiences [03:31] paultag: I dont know how [03:31] shahan, I'm not going anywhere, take your time [03:31] paultag: ok [03:32] I lost my two panels of my desktop...I dont know how...now I want to get it back. Is there any solution to u about how can I get it...I have tried a lot of procedures.... [03:32] like [03:33] paultag: http://paste-it.net/public/v32b4a8/ [03:33] OK [03:33] let me think shahan [03:33] paultag: ok [03:34] paultag: ask me if u want more info. [03:34] shahan, could you try: `nohup gnome-panel &` ? [03:34] no [03:34] shahan, no in what way? [03:35] shahan, no in that you can't try it or no as in it did not do anything? [03:35] I didnt tried this [03:35] shahan, I asked if you could try that for me [03:35] paultag: ok...I am going to try this in ubuntu ...for this I have to restart the PC [03:35] nohup gnome-panel & [03:36] paultag: [03:36] shahan, I'll be here [03:36] paultag: nohup gnome-panel & [03:36] shahan, yes :) [03:36] paultag: ok [03:36] shahan, and be sure to log messages [03:37] paultag: http://paste-it.net/public/k02dd67/ [03:37] paultag: I also tried this [03:37] let it check....I am coming back [03:37] shahan, add a sudo before that last command [03:37] shahan, but OK [03:38] paultag: sudo nohup gnome-panel & [03:38] paultag: ok? [03:38] no [03:38] shahan, on the apt-get -f install [03:38] shahan, gnome-panel needs to run as you [03:38] paultag: o yes [03:38] kk [03:38] coming back [03:38] sure thing, tyt [03:42] paultag, if you don't mind, what does "nohup gnome-panel &" do [03:42] running_rabbit07, sure thing :) [03:43] running_rabbit07, nohup will intercept all hangup calls to the shell ( as he will most likely close it after it works, if it works ), gnome-panel ( the actual panel for GNOME ), and & to fork it to the background of bash [03:43] running_rabbit07, if that works, gnome-panel is not starting up. If it does nothing there is a configuration issue [03:44] howdy shahan [03:44] paultag: hi [03:44] shahan, OK, so is it a conf issue or a startup issue? [03:44] do let us know! [03:44] thanx for explaining that, paultag [03:44] running_rabbit07, sure thing [03:45] paultag: http://paste-it.net/public/yfa8c18/ [03:45] paultag: I have no idea about conf issue or startup issue [03:45] Yippie! [03:46] shahan, So, you don't seem to have the GNOME panel installed :) [03:46] shahan, sudo apt-get install gnome-panel [03:46] paultag: will it required internet? [03:46] So, it's not starting because it's not installed, silly [03:46] shahan, yis [03:46] paultag: I have no internet [03:46] shahan, you can start the network by hand [03:46] shahan, why not? [03:46] paultag: in ubuntu.... [03:46] shahan, how are you here [03:46] shahan, nm-applet [03:47] shahan, run that command [03:47] paultag: as my new modem doesnt work there in ubuntu [03:47] Ahha [03:47] paultag: what is the size of gnome-panel? [03:47] Hold on a sec [03:49] Uncompressed Size: 1,229k [03:50] paultag: I have a mobile phone to connect internet...which I can use....but as it takes 1KB=0.02 Tk. (1Tk. is 70 $) I have to think about it [03:50] paultag: http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww145/shahan011/terminalopen.png [03:50] let it check [03:50] shahan, try reinstalling from the CD [03:50] shahan, what modem do you have? dial-up or dsl [03:51] paultag: is it not gnome background [03:51] ? [03:51] shahan, for what? [03:51] the GNOME background is nautilus [03:51] paultag: ok...let me check [03:51] running_rabbit07: WiFi modem [03:51] k [03:52] shahan, try reinstalling from the CD [03:52] paultag: I have problem on my HDD [03:52] shahan, if it's so bad that you can't install, then you can't expect the already installed OS to behave well [03:53] paultag: for this I am unable to reinstall it...when partition manager comes....its start shouting......and hand [03:53] and hang [03:53] running_rabbit07: can u help me to be connected [03:53] running_rabbit07: have u any idea? [03:54] shahan, what have you tried for getting it connected? [03:54] running_rabbit07: http://paste-it.net/public/xc46a64/ [03:55] running_rabbit07: my previous connection worked as plug and play [03:55] running_rabbit07: but the new one dont work as like previous [03:55] running_rabbit07: when I conected the USB of my previous modem in ubuntu ...its got connected [03:56] running_rabbit07: but new one doesn't [03:56] shahan, is it the ralink technology? [03:56] running_rabbit07: yes [03:57] running_rabbit07: as its says http://paste-it.net/public/xc46a64/ [03:58] running_rabbit07: help me ...if you can...coming back within 5 mins [04:04] $70 for one download, ouch [04:07] hello folks [04:07] hi [04:08] Hello mnewton [04:08] =) 'ello - say what's the command for whois again? [04:09] mnewton: /whois [04:09] i tried that, i says "Unknown command; see /help for the available commands" [04:09] i'm using empathy atm [04:09] paultag: hi [04:09] mnewton: empathy is a terrible irc client [04:09] XD [04:09] hey shahan [04:09] hey mnewton, kline much? [04:10] HA! [04:10] paultag: is there any way to install gnome-panel from CD [04:10] mnewton, how's tricks? [04:10] * nhandler was wondering who would remember mnewton [04:10] XD you still remember me i see [04:10] nhandler, can you use the live cd as a offline repo? [04:10] mnewton, I never forget [04:10] nhandler, never test my memory ;) [04:10] paultag: no [04:10] paultag: I never tried this [04:10] paultag: Yeah. It includes several packages that are not actually installed on the live cd for that purpose [04:10] shahan, no what? [04:11] nhandler, thought so. shahan here has somehow managed to remove gnome-panel from his install [04:11] paultag: In the System Sources app, it has a section for adding a live cd [04:11] Ah, ty nhandler [04:11] any way to make a global limit on cpu usage? [04:11] shahan, give that a go [04:11] mnewton, try openvz or lxc [04:11] mnewton: There is, but I can't remember how [04:11] it's going 100% and my computer is getting hot [04:11] mnewton, run it with nice? [04:11] paultag: I thought there was an easier method for that. [04:12] nhandler, there is the nice command to change it's priority [04:12] tried that, its still not doing too much [04:12] if i make the nice too large the program stops responding, but the cpu still stays the same [04:12] paultag: I hve live desktop and a alternat cd also [04:12] shahan, desktop [04:12] shahan, do you know how gnome-panel was uninstalled by any chance? [04:13] running_rabbit07, I did :) [04:13] running_rabbit07: yes.....I know something [04:13] wait [04:13] although, can you confirm this shahan? `dpkg -l | grep gnome-panel` [04:13] lol [04:13] paultag: sure [04:13] wait [04:14] if you didn't uninstall completely, then the package is still in the apt folder meaning synaptic should be able to find it [04:14] running_rabbit07, good call! [04:15] if he can surf folders, gdebi will install it [04:15] Oh wait [04:15] running_rabbit07: once I run sudo apt-get remove gshutdown ntfs-config scim-m17n startupmanager soundconverter sysinfo tzdata vlc && sudo apt-get autoremove [04:15] will it cache it if it installed from the live cd? [04:16] after this I lost my panels..... :( [04:17] paultag: sudo apt-get remove gshutdown ntfs-config scim-m17n startupmanager soundconverter sysinfo vlc && sudo apt-get autoremove [04:17] I saw that [04:17] paultag: once I run this command ...after this the problem created [04:18] shahan, look, just reinstall the distro off the CD or install from the network, not too many other ways around it :) [04:18] paultag: I said u first .... there is a problem on my HDD....I cannt reinstall it [04:19] shahan, I'd suggest fixing the HD issue [04:19] paultag: may be the problem of UBUNTU [04:19] shahan, I doubt it. [04:19] shahan, if your HD has issues you can't expect it to be reliable [04:19] paultag: I can install XP easily [04:19] shahan, please do, then [04:19] shahan, I'm here to help, but if you want to install XP, be my guest. I don't care, I have no stake in your computer [04:19] paultag: I hve to repair it anyhow [04:19] shahan, then get a new Hard Drive [04:20] shahan, run a smart test on it [04:20] shahan, if it's bad, get a new drive [04:20] shahan, if it's good, install XP [04:20] paultag: sorry!!! I dont want to use XP ... For this I am trying to repair my lovely UBUNTU [04:20] paultag: I hate XP [04:20] paultag: but I have no other way to use my PC [04:20] shahan, OK. then don't say things that try and make me upset. It will do nothing except make me want to leave. This is my freetime, I am not paid to help you [04:21] paultag: yes...I know [04:21] so.... [04:21] shahan, So, you have three options. 1) Get a new HD. 2) Use the Live CD to install the package ( as nhandler explained ), or 3) apt-get install gnome-panel [04:21] paultag: do u want "dpkg -l | grep gnome-panel" [04:21] shahan, not really. I know it's not installed [04:22] paultag: hmm [04:22] did your gnome-panel break after the upgrade to lucid? [04:22] paultag: I am suffering this problem for about a month [04:22] shahan, So, you have three options. 1) Get a new HD. 2) Use the Live CD to install the package ( as nhandler explained ), or 3) apt-get install gnome-panel [04:22] I havent make any update [04:22] :( [04:23] 1. to purchase new one is not ...... [04:23] 2. I am trying but HDD problem [04:23] 2. I have no internet in ubuntu right now [04:23] ohhhhhhh [04:24] well, do step 3 than - imo it is the easiest [04:24] mnewton, no, step one is [04:24] mnewton, it will fix all the issues, and he is on a phone modem [04:24] mnewton, that package will be about 70 bucks [04:24] mnewton, and for 70 bucks, you can get a new HD [04:24] and fix all the problems [04:24] ic [04:25] paultag: right now I am using a unlimited Wifi connection [04:25] about $18 per month [04:25] shahan, so use that, then [04:25] gtg [04:25] I have a phone modem too.... [04:25] paultag: my Wifif modem is not detecting [04:25] shahan, plug into it with CAT5e [04:25] paultag: this is the problem [04:26] paultag: ok.....tnx for giving time [04:26] sure shahan [04:27] paultag: where r u from? [04:27] shahan, USA [04:27] shahan, you are from India? [04:27] paultag: no....from BANGLADESH, DHAKA [04:27] Ah [04:30] Righto. I'm AFK. Time for some Morrowind [04:31] paultag: can u tell me how can I use my live cd to install gnome-panel [04:32] paultag: I hve a alternate cd too [04:33] shahan: System->Administration->Software Sources [04:33] Check the box next to your cd [04:33] ndefontenay: hahahha ... I have no panels right now [04:34] nhandler: its not possible for me right now to to this through GUI [04:34] I have to do it through terminal [04:35] shahan: Do you have a GUI at all (with just no panels)? [04:35] nhandler: yes...you right ...I just have no panels [04:35] gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk [04:36] That is one big command that will open software sources applet [04:36] in the terminal [04:36] Just do gksudo /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk [04:37] oops, I moved the menu icon to the desktop to disect it [04:38] I still think the needed .deb may be in the apt folder [04:38] autoremove doesn't clean that folder [04:38] nhandler: sorry..I disconnected [04:38] I would've voiced that earlier, but the kid wanted a grilled cheese [04:39] Just do gksudo /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk shahan_ [04:39] nhandler: will I write it in terminal? [04:39] yes [04:40] Or hit Alt+F2 [04:40] alt+f2 doesnt work [04:41] he must be going through recovery mode and dropping to terminal [04:41] nhandler: internet problem....disconenceted again [04:42] nhandler: please tell me again [04:42] nhandler: sorry for making u disturb [04:42] Just do gksudo /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk shahan_ [04:42] gksudo /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk shahan_ [04:42] I will put it in terminal [04:42] right?
