KE1HAteamcoltra, I think that's the directory encyption app. I was having that issue too, I disabled it as it's really annoying. Im not sure of it's a bug or not, but seems to be, you should report the bug and your issue.00:00

bobo123the_e: have you reloaded the packageinformation, and you verified what packages that should appear by going there to that repository with a webbrowser?00:20

Mr_Sonomaxdpirate_, yes00:40
mikeruI can't help but wonder why has nobody increased compatibility with i386 in amd64. I mean, it is ridiculous to --force-architecture for every single .deb.00:40

arrrghhhmikeru, he's looking for global.  so the correct answer is /etc/environment.  but you are correct, evidently .bashrc is a bad place to put environment variables.00:55

mikerunow cablop, if you plan on using pam_environment (I think /etc/environment follows same syntax), it's not JAVA_HOME="path", it's JAVA_HOME DEFAULT="path"00:57

thune3xdpirate_: you can access the underlying usb filesystem through /cdrom to bypass the persistencefile. you could make a directory in cdrom with permissions for your user and put the big file there.00:59

mikerudo too, nfs + afp01:04
appamajigso ext4 and nfs have problems?01:04
arrrghhhappamajig, i saw a bug on the forums about it, but i run nfs with ext4 no prob.01:05
cablopthe downside is sometimes ext4 writes to the disk that the file is in the disk, but the data is NOT in the disk01:05
mikeruarrrghhh: on my server. after learning from the mistake, I instead choose ext3 for my mb01:05

Scunizimikeru: if you want raw processing check out "darktable".. they have a repo for ubuntu and is very similar to Lightroom by Adobe.. what camera do you have?01:13

arrrghhhpsilo2, yea... but that's why the mobile browsing experience is so good.  sad.01:39
arrrghhhkow, not chrome's problem... again, goes back to flash!01:40
kowim only using opera for youtube and flash things01:40
kowi know01:40
actionparsnipwebchat: if the user sees opera as the ideal choice for their situation s/he should use it as it suits their needs01:40
arrrghhhopera works well for you with flash?  huh.  damn presto engine.01:40
infomomoHey guys, is the search in nautilus still broken. i am having a lot of trouble searching for files using nautilus search01:40
webchatactionparsnip: of course, it was a tongue-in-cheek remark01:40
actionparsnipkow: opera is fine, the fact that it is devloped to run native on linux is a step in the right direction01:40
kowi use chromuim quite often, but i need to find out how to use userscripts01:40
actionparsnipwebchat: i see :)01:40
Craig_DemSince when did any linux anything have perfect flash.01:40
leo__brasil01:40
KE1HAarrrghhh, no mater which Browser you pick, there's issues, it's a compromise on what matters most to the user.01:41
arrrghhhCraig_Dem, evidently opera haha.01:41
arrrghhhKE1HA, agreed... did i say something racist?  or browerist?01:41
Craig_DemI use chrome for linux and on my mac.01:41
KE1HAand that's not a Linux Issue, it's a Browser issue.01:41
arrrghhhKE1HA, what, flash?01:41
=== cylence is now known as cylence|away
actionparsnipkow: arora is decent too, and fast. although chrome/ium's pre dns thing is niiice01:41
kowCraig_Dem, flash is running perfectly in opera, for me anyways01:42
lucenutSo I have my ubuntu machine on the local network. I can ping it's IP from the other machines. But I can't access the shared drive on the ubuntu from windows machines.01:42
webchathrm, does anybody else hate when /overly/-insideous foss-endorsing corporations ban you from creating derivatives of their trademark/logo?01:42
KE1HAarrrghhh, No, not at all, just no matter which one I've used in the past, Ive hit problems somwhere, so I pick the one I like best and live with the compromise.01:42
lucenutI went into sharing options on a folder on ubuntu. And it told me it had to install some windows pack...01:42
actionparsniplucenut: have you shared folders? You can't share drives01:42
Mr_Sonomalucenut, have samba installed?01:42
rwwwebchat: Feel free to ask #ubuntu-offtopic ;P01:42
arrrghhhKE1HA, i just end up using them all, sometimes in the same session.  same goes for windoes.01:42
lucenutSo I did that, then it let me check "Share this folder"01:43
ZandreBranHi guys. please, I'm using pbbuilder, it compiles, but the deb just go to the documentation. Please could you help me?01:43
Craig_DemI've never liked opera, I used it for a short time when it was the fastest browser. Bunk just prefer chrome's minimalism.01:43
arrrghhhlucenut, samba?01:43
lucenutI didn't install Samba.01:43
Craig_DemBut I*01:43
KE1HAarrrghhh, rogetr that, same here.01:43
actionparsniplucenut: ok, is the windows machine windows 7?01:43

webchatrww: sorry, I just hate "we love user freedom", "but you're not free to use our brand!"01:43
kowCraig_Dem, opera is way faster for me then chromium, but userscripts are slow to load01:44
lucenutWhen I try to hit \\192.168.123.104\ it asks for username/pw.01:44

kowbut that may be my hdd01:44
psilo2arrrghhh: I'm not 100% convinced their proxy servers help THAT much -- and it should still be configurable.  I mean, if the proxies are that great, I could just run my own.01:44
actionparsniplucenut: you must run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER    set the password to the same as the login password of $USER01:44
lucenutHow did you know?01:44
webchatrww: ok, sorry01:44
lucenutSet what password?01:44
actionparsniplucenut: Win7 operates samba differently for some reason so you must use samba authentication.01:44
arrrghhhpsilo2, i agree it should be configurable.  but on my phone, nothing even comes close to opera.  skyfire is OK, but still not as good (and I think they use the same proxy method as well...)01:44
infomomoAny of you guys experiencing problems with Nautilus SEARCH ???01:44
actionparsniplucenut: the command will make a samba user under the same accountname as your current user01:44
oslohello01:44
jguzikowskihey guys, this may seem like a silly question..but does ubuntu support yahoo games? like is ther anything ill need to install to play it01:45
psilo2arrrghhh: I only have a blackberry and opera is awful on it (like every other browser) so I can't speak for sure.01:45
actionparsnipjguzikowski: if you have java installed, sure01:45
kowjguzikowski, java01:45
arrrghhhjguzikowski, probably not.  try it out on a live cd.01:45
KE1HAWith Samba, you always have to have at least one User/PW combination to enact shares of any kind.01:45
arrrghhhpsilo2, ah.  i have a winmo phone that i run android on as well, and opera is still the best of all of 'em.01:45
actionparsnipKE1HA: hey dude01:45
kunjiHey everyone, does anyone know how well, if at all, the Mimo 720-F works with linux?  Info here, http://www.mimomonitors.com/products/mimo-720-f-flex-screen-mountable-touchscreen-usb-monitor  There are no official linux drivers for it, so if anyone knows if it works anyways or what needs to be done to make it work, that would be pretty awesome.01:45
jguzikowskiactionparsnip: is java a bitch to install? i think i may have it but not sure01:45
psilo2arrrghhh: I think the bottleneck on mobile is still very much the wireless connection, and not internet latencies, so I must conclude that a caching proxy isn't going to help much at all.01:46
psilo2arrrghhh: I really think they're just after some data mining.01:46
actionparsnipinfomomo: not used it, I use find ni terminal01:46

NeverCastikhider, What's the wifi card01:54
psilo2doctorZeus: they're all just wrappers around cdrecord.  Try to get that working.01:54
NeverCastarrrghhh, Hamachi is awesome if you can get tun working01:55
webchatarrrghhh: apologies, freenode webchat + firefox doesn't seem to be reliable01:55
psilo2doctorZeus: that's likely where the real issue is.01:55
NeverCastarrrghhh, It's been pretty good for me though01:55
arrrghhhwebchat, qt and gnome have never really played well together.  just like kde and gtk+.  they work, but not perfectly.  and no worries.01:55
KE1HAikhider, then that's a problem. Are you sure the WIFI card is operable?01:55
earthling_I have a Nvidia graphics card and am getting the blank screen, how do I enter the "nomodeset" option at the boot menu?01:55

doctorZeuspsilo2- I'm on autopilot for the path of least resistance at the moment.. I'd like to try a new program to get me to a vanilla state and if the issue(s) remain I will take a closer look at cdrecord; thanks01:56
KE1HAikhider, if the Card is not being recognized at all, I'd have to research that particular card.01:56
arrrghhhwebchat, uhm... sure?  i'm not sure.  i just know they've never historically played well together.  they're always getting better...01:56
ikhiderKE1HA, Damn Small Linux recognizes it, not ubuntu01:57
arrrghhhUbuntus, it's best to stick with what ubuntu runs.  10.10 will feature that kernel.01:57
Ubuntushm... bummer01:57
macowebchat, arrrghhh: um actually thats changed lately01:57
KE1HAikhider, what card is it?01:57
ikhiderKE1HA, It is a broadcom01:57
webchatarrrghhh: it looks like tray balloon notifications are a Qt creation, gtk apps directly call libnotify01:57
KE1HAModel ?01:57
ikhiderKE1HA, BCM 4312 a/b/g01:57
macowebchat, arrrghhh: ubuntu adopted kde's systray protocol and kde adopted gnome's notification protocol01:57
KE1HAok, hold on.01:58
MBG1987KE1HA did you answer my question above or was somebody else ? :)01:58
arrrghhhmaco, but you can't hardly call it perfect...01:58
webchatmaco: so it's fixed? =-o01:58
KE1HAMBG1987, what was the links you needed, sri I miised it01:58
arrrghhhUbuntus, do you have a need to go to that new kernel?!?01:58
macoarrrghhh, webchat: when you use gnome apps in kde, they get bubbles exactly the same as kde ones. when you use kde i apps in gnome, i believe the same thing happens. throughout 10.04 and 10.10 devel cycles apps' tray stuff has been being converted over to make menus on tray items work the same too01:58
Ubuntuswhen i upgrade to 10.10 do all my problems gonna resolve? like, no sound icon in Gnom panel, dummy sound  output, no eth0 detected...01:58
dooglushi guys.  I recently installed linux on my granny's laptop because she kept getting spyware in windows.  now she has somehow managed to get 'mywebsearch' as her default firefox search01:58
MBG1987KE1HA I want to connect to my work pc  in the company from my home pc using VPN the, both using ubuntu, both behind NAT, How to do it?01:59
dooglushow did that happen?  she won't have meant to do it01:59
laurusdooglus, do you mean you installed the Linux kernel, or the GNU/Linux OS?01:59
doogluslaurus: I installed ubuntu 10.0401:59
dooglusthat's what I mean01:59
laurusAh okay01:59
ikhiderI tried so many distributions--to get Linux working all the way is such a rarity01:59
arrrghhhUbuntus, no, do you think all those things will magically be solved with this new kernel tho?!?01:59
KE1HAMBG1987, yes I answered, you need the clint you comapny uses normally, and get Linux equalevent (if possible), else, no joy Im affraid.02:00
webchatmaco: when I call http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qsystemtrayicon.html#showMessage in lucid, I get a balloon like http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/images/system-tray.png :(02:00
dooglusmy question is, how does the mywebsearch malware trick my granny into installing itself on ubuntu?02:00
ikhiderThere is *always* an issue with Linux--if it is not wifi, it is audio or the graphics card or whatever02:00
laurusDoes anyone here know how to view .idx and .sub files?02:00
macodooglus: if you right click the search thingy on firefox you can change the default02:00
doogluslaurus: I use mplayer-nogui02:00
arrrghhhMBG1987, i also answered, use hamachi unless you want to use the company vpn.02:00
Ubuntusarrrghhh: well, that would be cool02:00
laurusdooglus, no, I mean like, view them as a list or a document02:00
laurusNot inside the movie itself02:00
arrrghhhUbuntus, i'm sure it would.  get to coding, all the source is there!02:00
dooglusmaco: I know how to fix it.  what I don't know is how it sneaked onto the computer.  I'd like to stop it happening again02:00
katoendooglus: perhaps its a firefox 'addon'02:01
KE1HAikhider, you need to use the ndiswrapper approach like I do for my Linksys Wirelss Nics.02:01
macowebchat: ive never seen anything like that in kde... the bubbles attach to the panel in kde 4.4 and 4.5 (earlier versions they could go in the middle of the screen too i think)02:01
doogluslaurus: .sub files are plain text.  you can use any text editor02:01
Ubuntusarrrghhh: i follow some advice from a guy here, about reseting the Gnome panel, and nothing happened02:01
doogluskatoen: there's no addon02:01
hiexpobcm431202:01
laurusdooglus, no, they're images, not plain text02:01

Dr_WillisUbuntus:  you mean the following?02:01
laurus.idx/.sub is vobsub, i.e. ripped from DVD02:01
Dr_Willis!resetpanel  | Ubuntus02:01
webchatmaco: ic, I guess that requires calling kde libs directly.. not cross-platform with windows etc02:01
ubottuUbuntus: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel »02:01
katoendooglus: are you sure its because of malware? couldn't she simply have accidentally changed teh homepage02:01
MBG1987arrrghhh What's hamachi ? can i use openVPN02:01
arrrghhhUbuntus, uh.  ok?02:01
UbuntusYES!!02:01
KE1HAI know it's for Fiesty, but the process is the same.02:01
macodooglus: when you visit a site that has its own search engine available, the search menu offers to add it to the list (click on the icon for the current search and see the drop down... there'll be one at the bottom of the list if youre on certain sites... ilke youtube does it i think).  she probably hit it not knowing what it was02:02
macowebchat: yes probably02:02
Dr_WillisUbuntus:  clarify what its not doing. that command does work fine for me and most people02:02
arrrghhhMBG1987, you can use whatever you want.  really depends on what your company allows.  my company, that would not fly.02:02
webchatmaco: so i'm stuck with fugly balloons  if I want to support kde/gnome/windows :(02:02
doogluskatoen: the home page didn't change.  what changed is the 'about:config' setting that tells it where to go when you type random words (not a URL) into the address bar02:02
macowebchat: quassel supports pure-qt and kde02:02
KE1HAYou install ndiswrapper-common and utils, then install the driver.sys / .ini file, then modprobe the driver to the kernel.02:02
doogluskatoen: she didn't change that manaully02:02
macowebchat: its a compile-time option in quassel02:02
webchatmaco: ic, I guess i could do that02:02
arrrghhhwebchat, or just run kde haha :P02:02
macowebchat: also, there IS kde for windows02:02
UbuntusDr_Willis: restoring the sound icon in thnome desktop02:03
arrrghhhmaco, they're doing a native port right?  how's the progress on that?02:03
macoarrrghhh: i dont know. i dont use windows except at work where im not admin02:03
UbuntusBut, whatever, who needs sound anyway.....?02:03
arrrghhhUbuntus, i don't.  ubuntu is a server for me.  everyone has their own needs.02:03
KE1HALOL  sound and video drivers are always testy in Linux. Once that's smoothed out, look out WinDoze.02:04
dooglusmaco: the default search in the search box is still google.  it's the "when you type a bad URL" search that was damaged02:04
macoUbuntus: um if you dont have a sound applet but you do have a notification area, that sounds like pulseaudio's not running. ditto the "dummy sound output" part...02:04
macodooglus: oh. mm dunno then02:04
webchatthe ati catalyst drivers suck, no vsync for desktop :(02:04
arrrghhhdooglus, ah, i had that happen previously with one of my ubuntu systems, and i was baffled as well.  1 sec.02:04

psilo2ikhider: hw manufacturers don't always target linux.  The easiest path is, if you want to run linux, shop for parts that already have good support.  This is good for you, and encourages manufacturers to provide good linux drivers at the same time.02:07

Ubuntuswhat causes lag?02:07

arrrghhhneutralrobotboy, have you tried rebooting?   this happens every time you try to hibernate?02:17
wakko10warnerThe screen just locks in place , and the keybord stops working.02:18
maconeutralrobotboy: swap is the partition where the overflow from memory goes and where you hibernate. if its not large enough to hold everything thats currently in there + everything thats in ram, hibernate will fail02:18
katoenwakko10warner: did you check logs? can you log on to your system from another computer (install / enable sshd)02:18

hiexpokatoen,  this is no yo > channel this is ubuntu channel02:20
neutralrobotboyarrrghhh: i have tried rebooting. i think i screwed up somewhere in the install. basically, i installed without a swap partition because i have plenty of ram. i didn't realize at the time that hibernate required a swap partition to work (silly me). i think i then mounted a swap file, which enabled hibernate, but caused the error+crash when i tried to use it. i then repartitioned, putting a swap partition an the end of the drive02:20
neutralrobotboy, but the same error occurs.02:20
arrrghhhBlueJae, i'm assuming you don't have any free space?02:20
abhijit!gparted | BlueJae02:20
ubottuBlueJae: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php02:20

BlueJaei do have space02:21
katoenhiexpo: oh02:21
BlueJaebut i want to give linux more02:21
arrrghhhneutralrobotboy, how big is the swap?02:21
BlueJaei was able to minimize the windows partition but not the linux one02:21
arrrghhhBlueJae, raw free space.02:21
twobitspritehiexpo: thanks02:21
BlueJaei used gparted02:21
hiexpo^ yep02:21
neutralrobotboyarrrghhh: the partition is about 6 gigs.02:21
arrrghhhBlueJae, then you should be able to allocate that remaining raw free space to your ubuntu partition.02:21
BlueJaenow the space left from shrinking down the windows partition is just sitting there02:22
BlueJaehow?02:22
Mr_SonomaBlueJae, you can't resize a partition that's mounted. reboot into a livecd session to do it02:22
arrrghhhneutralrobotboy, your swap is 6gb?  how much RAM do you have?02:22
BlueJaeah02:22
neutralrobotboyarrrghhh: about 3gb02:22
BlueJaei'm pretty new with linux02:22
arrrghhhMr_Sonoma, d'oh forgot that critical step lol.02:22
Mr_Sonomaarrrghhh, K.I.S.S.02:22
KE1HAAll yu need to do is shrik of of the larger partitions, freeing up space, then reallocate it to swap or whatever you want / need it ti be.02:22
arrrghhhneutralrobotboy, that should be more than enough....02:22
Mr_Sonoma:D02:22
katoenwakko10warner: seems ok to me02:22
BlueJaeso there is no way to do it without a live cd since it's mounted02:22
arrrghhhMr_Sonoma, yea, sometimes i forget the little things that make a big difference.  ah well.02:23
abhijitBlueJae, in gparted right click the partition you want to edit and click on unmount and then you can do some actions on it02:23
wakko10warnerhttp://pastebin.ca/1910587 <-- my user.log02:23
Mr_Sonomaarrrghhh,  your not the only one trust me02:23
wakko10warneranyother log you need. My X windows screen seems to freeze02:23
BlueJaei think when i tried that it said it would erase all the data02:23
KE1HAe.g. swap should = RAM size, or in the case of like 512M, I go with 1GB02:23
picard1421i just did apt-get install dwm.. what do i do to start it? is there a config i have to do or is the apt-get do it al lfor me?02:23
arrrghhhBlueJae, basically yes.  if the OS is running the drive has to be mounted.  if you're expanding a drive that the OS is not running on then you can.02:23
BlueJaei think i'll just have to wait till i get home and can run the live cd02:23
wakko10warnercould it be my video driver, it happened when I updated it.02:23
BlueJaei see02:23
Mr_Sonomaabhijit, wont be able to do that on the partition that housing the OS BlueJae is currently using i don't think.02:23
neutralrobotboyarrrghhh: it's giving me some weird error message about a bad swap header. is there a way to pull up that error message from the console?02:23
katoenwakko10warner: my guess is there's something wrong with the driver (nvidia) try the 'nv' driver instead for the time being02:24
BlueJaenah02:24
hiexpotry sudo dwm02:24

arrrghhhBrandy, that's not a suitable backup device... you can use it, but i wouldn't recommend it.02:39
Brandywhy ?02:39
Brandyit wont fit02:39
w1n5tonI have a problem02:39
KE1HAWell, you can use Office on Linux with Playonlinux & Wine, but I would jsut copy the Virtual Directory to a backup location.02:40
nUboon2Agerodolfo: Amarok looked pretty good also if Songbird doesn't work out.  There are so many to choose from its kinda nice.02:40
Mr_Sonomawhat's your problem w1n5ton ?02:40
arrrghhhKE1HA, i think she wants a complete backup of everything... host & guest OS.02:40
Brandyi did but few apps dont work02:40
random314Brandy: An iPod is not meant for general file-storage, something like a flash drive or a USB hard-drive would be ideal.02:40
Brandyneed full usage of office02:40
w1n5tonI just ran the ubuntu updater and now my whole interface looks wierd02:40
xanguaBrandy: there are also openoffice, lotus office, softmaker office (this is of pay)02:40
katoenw1n5ton: weird how?02:40
picard1421anybody.. how do i / what would i do to config DWM02:41
w1n5tonlike the panels are grey instead of black02:41
KE1HAWell, in that case, need a big drive, but at least fer the Virtual Machine, copy the Virtual DIR to a safe location.02:41
Brandyu dont undesrant is a job obligation02:41
rodolfook thanks02:41
nUboon2Agerandom314: Some people really like Banshee too. so that might be a third choice.02:41
Brandyit is wat runs at my work02:41
actionparsnipBrandy: theres also googledocs and zoho02:41
Mr_SonomaBrandy, usb hard drives are excellent.02:41
Brandytrust me i can use any other at home02:41
arrrghhhBrandy, don't worry about the office tips, ignore them.02:41
Brandybut official at work had to be that one02:41
nUboon2Agerodolfo:  Some people really like Banshee too. so that might be a third choice.02:41
KE1HAsri, didnt mean to confuse the issue :-)02:41
arrrghhhlet's focus on your backups... do you want everything backed up... guest OS and host as well, or just your windows vm?02:41
actionparsniprandom314: and waaay cheaper02:42
Brandyu think i like windows02:42

random314Brandy: If you are running a Windows virtual machine inside of a Linux host then that is fine.  Something to also consider is http://www.codeweavers.com/ Crossover which makes Microsoft Office almost like a native Linux program as far as you use it within Linux.  Crossover is a paid program.02:42

K-RichHello all.02:43
KE1HAmrconnerton, no worries, hope it works.02:43
arrrghhhBrandy, that's why i put your name before everything i say :D  do you want to backup your windows vm (the guest os) or everything, the linux host and the win guest?02:44
K-Richi need a cross-platform lan focused im/client, (voice/vid not required but nice) soulution for linux/mac/windows network. any suggestions?02:44

Brandyi can make a machine again02:44
picard1421i guess i need to "redo" the config file02:44
Brandythats no issue02:44
nUboon2Agerodolfo: i think all of them can save songs on the ipod but not all of them can do a sync (such as people are used to doing with iTunes.)  Rythmbox you can drag songs over, but can't do sync, yet (coming in Maverick i understand)02:44
katoenK-Rich: jabber02:44
Brandybut ubuntu is my main concern02:44
arrrghhhBrandy, that's a little trickier.  bit-for-bit copies are not easy.02:44
picard1421where is it located and i will copy in the deault config02:44
w1n5tonWould it help if I gave a screenshot?02:44

picard1421there is nothing .. );02:48
random314You will need a large drive to do a full backup.  Better way: enable folder sharing from the guest Windows into the host Linux by installing VirtualBox guest additions.  Then save the files directly into your Linux filesystem and just back up the data from there.  Only the files you create and work with are the ideal to backup.  They would be tiny compared to a whole disk image and much easier to work with.02:48
sander__But now I can't download anything from the xbmc mirror anymore.02:48

arrrghhhVS-, wait, do you get a prompt to "try or install" basically when the disc boots?03:36
VS-No.03:37
VS-I don't.03:37
tensorpuddingVS-: are you not using the graphical install?03:37
arrrghhhit'll have more options, like test memory03:37
nUboon2AgeGuest98392: I like Konversation for irc.03:37
VS-I can't, it doesn't give me an option to.03:37
arrrghhhVS-, yes, which disc did you download.  server edition or alternate installer perhaps?03:37
KE1HA[ZoD]Phantom, so was that your problem, or one similar?03:37
tensorpuddingWhich install disk are you using?03:37
VS-Desktop Edition :/03:37
[ZoD]Phantomke1 the very same one, and im not sure how to fix it.03:37
[ZoD]PhantomKE1HA the very same one, and im not sure how to fix it.03:37
uRockSounds like a bad image?03:37
tensorpuddingVS-: any errors on boot?03:38
tensorpuddingis this for 10.04?03:38
arrrghhhVS-, could be a bad image like uRock said.  do you get any other errors?  it just drops a prompt?03:38
allgurui know that this is in-relevant a bit , but it's URGENT :( , the site www.noobsnetwork.com is going to be a site for educating 3D and Engineering and Web Design in Video Tutorials , i want to use my old domain www.open-class.org for the site , but this dark theme isn't suitable , what about this light one http://noobsnetwork.com/portal.php?style=1 , you can talk to me to proof that i'm not a spam bot , lol ..03:38

arrrghhhhaha gang troubleshooting.03:38
KE1HA[ZoD]Phantom, follow that check-disk section and see where that gets you.03:38

[ZoD]PhantomKE1HA i got that and i think its fine.03:38
uRock!spam | allguru03:38
roved2101Boooooooooom!03:38
arrrghhhVS-, did you do a MD5 checksum before you burned?03:38
arrrghhhVS-, does the disc work in any other computers?03:38
tensorpuddingit seems like it could be possible that the xorg autoconfiguration got botched, i suppose03:38
VS-It does.03:39
mkquistactionparsnip: thanx for that, turns out i hadnt been to all of those pages, sounds up now... =)03:39
KE1HAand did you re-mount the partition and fix the fstab afterwards ?03:39
allguruuRock , no dude :(03:39
allguruuRock: i need help03:39
arrrghhhVS-, there's something it doesn't like about the hardware.  you can try the alternate install disc, but no promises.03:39
allguruuRock: the other rooms are dead .03:39
[ZoD]PhantomKE1HA what you mean, how i remount?03:39
[ZoD]PhantomKE1HA was it the sudo mount -o etc etc?03:40
allguruok , Bye :( .03:40
KE1HAudo mount -o remount,rw /03:40
VS-So there's nothing I can do with this prompt?03:40
KE1HAsudo .. .. ..03:40
[ZoD]PhantomKE1HA just did that, after that what else?03:40
arrrghhhVS-, i mean you can try some things, but if the disc boots on other computers then there's probably some hardware that isn't playing nice.03:40

lfaraoneMelodist: if you're using Ubuntu, you have to have bash installed. It won't boot without it, I'm pretty sure.03:46
[ZoD]PhantomKE1HA i did, and it said clean etc etc03:46
abhijitbjegovic, thats why no pm.03:46
macobjegovic: this is why you should get all support *in channel* not through PMs, that way you can be warned as soon as something bad is said03:46
Melodisthrm03:46
lfaraoneMelodist: does "which bash" tell you anything if you run it in the terminal?03:47
uRockyou'd think that the Intro to unix/linux book would say not to try that command03:47
arrrghhhbjegovic, and perhaps quit trolling about CS 1.6...03:47
DasEiMelodist: i tried terminator before, that did well for me, see :03:47
Melodistso then what other dependencies could he be missing? he already installed build essential, which installs gnu-make, right?03:47

KE1HA[ZoD]Phantom, Ok, sri, you need to Live-CD Boot and be on the PC to do all this stuff.03:50
[ZoD]PhantomKE1HA is there a comand to know what version of ubuntu is on the pc?03:50
macouRock: youd need sudo, and youd have to read the rm manpage to see that the syntax for the killer command has changed a bit to keep people who dont know it changed from destroying others' systems03:50
KE1HA[ZoD]Phantom, with the Live-CD you should be able to gain Net Acess and IRC from it.03:50

arrrghhhlittlebear, lol i was talking about a recovery portion converted into an ubuntu install but ok.04:00

mnainesarrrghhh, the problem with running Ubuntu entirely on a flash drive is it is painfully slow, you don't have much room for storing your files and stuff, but if you can tolerate that, you can actually be rest assured that you can use your full ubuntu setup on any machine that can boot from USB04:00
arrrghhhlittlebear, but you don't get gnome or OOO do ya?  ;)04:00

neskapow_hey whats up #04:01

A-NonNothing in the Xorg.0.log jumps out at me aside from a missing "libwfb.so", could that cause title bars and window borders to disappear while running compiz?04:01
littlebearooo by it self is something like 300 mb i recall04:01
arrrghhhmnaines, woah i didn't realize i was jumping into a case for using a flash drive to run ubuntu off of.04:01
uRockBenny_132, man grep look at the -n04:01
arrrghhhlittlebear, that's my point.  ubuntu-desktop comes with A LOT and needs room to breathe.04:01
arrrghhhyou could run ubuntu off a flash key for a server OS with hdd's for storage, but i've heard of ppl running into issues long-term.04:02
littlebeararrrghhh: yeah, i was stupid enough to think 10 gb was enough, now i only have 2 gb left04:02
arrrghhhha, ouch.04:02
DasEiA-Non: might be, I just located it on my sys, it's : /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so04:02
arrrghhhlittlebear, i think it recommends 20gb...?04:02
actionparsniplittlebear: install lubuntu, its a very small ubuntu based system, vying for official status too04:03
arrrghhhlittlebear, correction, 15gb.04:03
DasEiA-Non: looks like a missing module of xorg in first glance04:03
rodolfosorry for the problems, im on my cousin laptop04:03
actionparsniplittlebear: or you could use puppy or damnsmall to make the system super faster04:03
littlebearactionparsnip: yeah, busy with life04:03
nUboon2Agerodolfo: ok what is the URL it gave?04:03
A-NonDasEi: How would I fix that?04:03
mnainesarrrghhh, do you run Ubuntu entirely on a flash drive?04:03
littlebearactionparsnip: that's ram though04:03
arrrghhhmnaines, no.04:03
rodolfobut what i do next??04:03
actionparsniplittlebear: plus lighter in cpu too as well as smaller in HDD usage04:04
littlebearactionparsnip: unless you have your hdd entirely made up of ram, you're speed isn't going anywhere04:04
KE1HA[ZoD]Phantom, Look at Post #19 on the link I sent you, this may be the smoking-gun for your issue.04:04
arrrghhhmnaines, but i know guys that run ubuntu-server on a usb key.04:04
nUboon2Agerodolfo: tell us what the URL is that pastebinit produced.04:04
mnainesarrrghhh, I tried it once...Painfully slow and no room for any of my files, but I could use it on any machine that could boot from USB04:04
DasEiA-Non: try to backup xorg.conf, reconfigure the server, run a full update/grade, and set up xorg back, case lack of functionality04:04
rodolfoit gave me this04:04
littlebearmnaines: the puppylinux works great from usb, though corruption after awhile04:04
arrrghhhand i run the liveusb key edition or whatever, but i don't use it frequently.  just when i need it.  most guys get flash cards on the mobo - much faster bus that way.04:04
=== brendan__ is now known as BLW
nUboon2Agerodolfo: yes?  Gave which URL?04:05
mnainesarrrghhh, yes, but my intent is portability, being able to use my full-featured copy of Ubuntu on almost any newer machine I come to04:05
DasEiA-Non: need the commands for tthat ?04:05
A-NonDasEi: I know how to back up xorg.conf but I don't know what you mean by the rest of those steps, could you explain that in detail?04:05
rodolfoDistributor ID:Jolicloud  Description:Jolicloud robby (Final Release)  Release:1.0  Codename:robby04:05

rodolfowhat does it mean?04:06
DasEiA-Non: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup04:06
nUboon2Agerodolfo: actionparsnip oh rodolfo's got Jolicloud!04:06
arrrghhhmnaines, yea you can do that.  but like you said it's slow... i do the same thing, but again slow.  if the machine has a TON of ram it does make a difference tho.04:06
rodolfowhats that?04:06
A-NonDasEi: Alright, then what?04:07
actionparsnipnUboon2Age: its not supported here then04:07
DasEiA-Non: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade (maybe note it and run it from init 1, as with x in use, things might be kept back)04:07
mnainesarrrghhh, yes.  As you said, its more useful on servers, and at this time, flash memory is not fast enough to use it for anything more than portable server operating systems04:07
nUboon2Agerodolfo: actionparsnip: Jolicloud is based on Ubuntu, but is a derivative of Ubuntu.  Let's see where to get support for it...04:07
rodolfook04:07
arrrghhhwait, rodolfo isn't running ubuntu?04:07
actionparsnipnUboon2Age: true but many are based on ubuntu but still equally unsupported here04:07
[ZoD]PhantomKE1HA ty, well im going to save the documents and reinstall using 10.0404:08
arrrghhhrodolfo, mind if i ask why you even came into this room then?04:08
KE1HA[ZoD]Phantom, Oh, Ok, well you can get your docs off easily, then jsut start over, but there's a problem with 9.04 & 9.10 with both fstab and sudo-user auth files.04:09
[ZoD]PhantomKE1HA ty!04:09
rodolfomy uncle told me to ask here04:09
DasEiA-Non: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg04:09
actionparsniprodolfo: the official channel for ubuntu is only for support for oficially released ubuntu from canonicals, not its spin offs04:09
nUboon2Agerodolfo: actionparsnip: yes i understand.  I'll try and point rodolfo in the right support direction...04:09
[ZoD]PhantomKE1HA good night and to all.04:09
actionparsniprodolfo: hopefully nUboon2Age can steer you04:09
KE1HA[ZoD]Phantom, After researin and listeing to your feedback, I suspect your /etcsusoers file is missing or currut, which is the liekly reason for the issue if it's not the fstab.04:10
actionparsniprodolfo: if you install the netbook edition which looks pretty much the same you will be supported here04:10
A-NonDasEi: the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't seem to do anything, is that normal?04:10
KE1HAA-Non, no that's not normal.04:11
DasEiA-Non: sudo service gdm restart (will LOG you OFF!),  the last two commands might be run after doing an sudo init 1, which will bring you to single user mode ( and also drops you off the desk,,     the cmd did, even with no feedback04:11

DasEicaps, ups04:12
rublindgentlemen (a bold assumption, I know). I'm seeking some assistance. Whenever I leave my eth0 to dhcp, I can't ssh to this machine. If I set it to a static IP it works. Does anyone have any idea of things I could try?04:13
nUboon2Agerodolfo: I found they have an irc channel at #jolicloud .  Also04:13

rublindalso, my monitor cuts off the first few letters (I hate this thing), so I don't really know who to reply to. sorry. :x04:14
rublind__co: I took a risk. =p04:15
DasEiA-Non: sudo init 1, then dpkg from gui-choice (same as update/grade) then reconfigure from netroot or root, exit back to init 1 gui, resume boot, start gdm manually04:15
nUboon2Agerodolfo: i'm glad we checked and figured out what we're working with so you can get help from folks who are familar with Jolicloud, Robby edition.  We could have knocked that one around a long time without being able to make progress.04:15
A-NonDasEi: I'm going to switch IRC to the other machine, be right back04:16

rublindsecond question: does anyone know how to make 2wire routers not suck?04:17
FirstgearOnewhich is faster kde or gnome?04:17
Sedatedrublind, i suggest a large heavy hammer04:17
stanley_robertsohi all04:17
arrrghhhrodolfo, slap your uncle for me :D04:17
rublindagreed. but I don't think AT&T will appreciate that.04:17
KE1HArublind, yeah, replace it with Cisco Routers :-)04:17
A-NonDasEi: I was running IRC on the machine I was trying to fix before, so this will be easier04:17
rublinddo you know if the cisco routers are compatible with AT&T's garbage service?04:18
mnainesDoes anyone know of a program for Linux that takes all your settings, custom themes, files and programs, and whatever else and turn it into an ISO so you can reinstall or move to another machine without losing any data?04:18
KE1HArublind, yes.04:18
DasEiA-Non: sudo init 1, then dpkg from gui-choice (same as update/grade) then reconfigure from netroot or root, exit back to init 1 gui, resume boot, start gdm manually04:18
rodolfoyes XD tnx for your help04:18
rublindI need to look into this then... thank you. would you happen to know a model number by any chance?04:18
actionparsnipmnaines: backup the hidden files in $HOME, you can restore them later to restore settings04:18
KE1HArublind, our main fibre channel was on an AT&T link, was pretty stable for acess.04:19
KE1HArublind, Which Cisco Routers ?04:19
rublindthe service isn't that bad (usually, it did go down for no reason once or twice), but I hate this 2wire thing they give me. makes me want to stab myself.04:19
mnainesactionparsnip, I mean like, when someone customizes Ubuntu to their liking then wants to get a new machine but does not want to have to reinstall everything to get their customizations back, is there something that can compile their custom Ubuntu setup into an ISO?04:20
econdudeawesomeAAH! I meant to delete a partition and created a new partition table. It said that it will be implemented on reboot. Can I fix it?04:20
A-NonDasEi: Just did init 1 now04:20
rublindyeah, if you knew off the top of your head. would save me some googling, but no worries either way. :)04:20
KE1HArublind, sri mate, but 2wire is garbage if you need real performace.04:20
DasEiA-Non: get a small gui.. > dpkg...04:20
Sedatedrublind, the 2wire routers i have here in .au have an advanced management page you can get it by browsing to http://<ip>/mdc04:20
KE1HArublind, one moment, need ot SSH to my Workstation.04:20
A-NonDasEi: I get an Ubuntu splash screen with the little dots04:20
actionparsnipmnaines: yep, that'll do it. You can burn them to a CD or USB stick etc for storage. Don't get tied up with ISO files04:20
rodolfoi have a problem with jolicloud IRC04:20
rublindII've tried the mdc things before, but still not the level of control I want...04:21
DasEiA-Non: might take a second04:21

tpadshould i buy an nvidia or ati gpu if i plan on running ubuntu?04:21
econdudeawesomeSo if I use gparted to create a new partition table for a currently mounted drive, is there any way to fix that???04:21
DasEiA-Non: give it a little. else ctrl-alt-delete, when grub is loading, press left shift04:21
actionparsniptpad: nvidia04:22
econdudeawesomeas in, restore the partition table of the drive, or will it be wiped on the next reboot?04:22
tpadshould i buy an nvidia or ati gpu if i plan on running ubuntu?04:22
rodolfook thanks04:22
tensorpuddingnvidia has good binary blob drivers04:22
tpadactionparsnip: would ati work? someone told me there isnt very good support for ati..04:22
arrrghhhrodolfo, is there any reason you can't run ubuntu?04:22
tensorpuddingati has a free driver, but i don't know what the state of it is04:22
tpadim looking at the ati radeon hd 565004:22
DasEiecondudeawesome: very bad idea, and gparted wouldn't even allow on a mounted drive04:22
KE1HArublind, border routers were 3800's04:22
rublindcool, thank you for checking. :)04:23
actionparsniptpad: sure, you can check the ati site for compatible devices, nvidia have supported linux waaay longer than ati04:23
econdudeawesomeDasEi now when I reopen gparted it doesn't bring up the drive04:23
A-NonDasEi: I rebooted tapping left shift pretty much constantly and it just got me to the GDM screen04:23
DasEiA-Non: got the grub menue ?04:23
econdudeawesomeDasEi it was mounted into three partitions and I was trying to delete the middle one... and thought I needed a new partition table. What can I do??04:24
tpadactionparsnip: i know.. and i know ati has drivers.. im just wondering if anyone has experience with the stability of them.04:24
ZykoticK9A-Non, if you are using Grub2 then just hold shift down while booting to get the menu (don't tap)04:24
KE1HArublind, local routers were 2600's with a few 7100 fer the main WAN stuff.04:24
econdudeawesomeDasEi not mounted: divided. Two are currently mounteded04:24
A-NonDasEi: I don't think so, I saw no menus until GDM04:24
A-NonZykoticK9: Alright I'll try holding it down then04:24
actionparsniptpad: i only buy nvidia due to support, millions will agree, millions will disagree04:24
rublindcool, cool. time to go shopping I guess. =p04:24
KE1HArublind, 2600's are Solid bargins, 3800's are over the top even for most small to medium companys.04:24
macotpad: i last used ati 2 years ago and at the time i could get dual screen at high res on 32bit working fine, but on 64bit. i imagine progress has been made, particularly since they opened up all their specs04:24
macotpad: er, but not on 64bit04:25
DasEiecondudeawesome: oo, you set a new partitable on a drive where you still would have needed the other two partis ?04:25
ZykoticK9tpad, if you want 3d on linux (or other open source OSs)  i would go nivida myself04:25
rublind2600's it is then. :)04:25
tpadwell damn.04:25
tpadsee im looking at the envy 14.. and i cant get nvidia in it.04:25
tpadbut i realllly want this laptop. :)04:25
A-NonDasEi: Okay now I've got "GNU GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu7" menu04:25
DasEiA-Non: it's lucid ?04:25
rublindokay, I need to go futz with my router/networking setup for a bit to figure this out. I'll be back later. Thanks for all the info. :)04:25
A-NonDasEi: Yeah, lucid04:25
macotpad: can i sugget a couple companies that make linux laptops?04:25
DasEifine > 2nd kernel, recovery-mode04:25
DasEiA-Non: ^04:26
coz_tpad,  which intel chipsets for video do they hav?04:26
ZykoticK9tpad, if your shopping for a laptop then nvidia usually costs about 2x as much :|  You get what you pay for though.04:26
KE1HArublind, look for certified Used 2600's, with the fibre module options, lots of ggod deals around. We're way off-topic, so back to Ubuntu Support.04:26
tensorpuddingif you're getting a laptop, go for intel04:26
A-NonDasei: running recovery-mode...04:26
tensorpuddinggraphics, that is04:26
ZykoticK9tpad, i agree with tensorpudding intel over ati.04:26
macotpad: http://zareason.com and http://system76.com  both make fully linux compatible laptops.  i have two laptops from za04:26
tpadtensorpudding: lol now thats incorrect.04:26
econdudeawesomeDasEi yes, that was the plan. But I wasn't thinking and made a new partition table for the whole drive. The computer seems to be working find, but I got the following in the terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/470510/04:27
DasEiecondudeawesome: so, what you need is another sys, and then use testdisk to recover it, that'll be a bit of a hassle then04:27
tpadnvidia may have better support.. but ati is def better than intel.04:27
macotensorpudding: actually... intel has the best support of all04:27
tensorpuddingIntel's free drivers work great.04:27
macotensorpudding: fully open drivers, and yeah, it does work for 3d actually... its long been the easiest way to get 3d on linux04:27
macotensorpudding: erk not you sorry04:27
ZykoticK9maco, if "best support" = "Open source" then yes ;)04:27
econdudeawesomeDasEi that actually won't be a problem to boot up another system on the same rig, coincidentally enough. But can I do it before I shut the computer down with gpart?04:27
macotpad: what i just said to tensorpudding was for you04:27
tonsofpcsso I just tried burning a cd with k3b, k3b hung with 0% and was successfully killed, wodim is still stuck running and the drive is spinning.  Any ideas?04:27
tpadthey may work good. but i am also going for performance. i will be running windows 7 dual boot for gaming as well.04:28
macoZykoticK9: thats what i meant yeah.04:28
DasEiecondudeawesome: wellwell, I told you gparted won't do, if anything is mounted there.. gparteed still open ?04:28
tensorpuddingIf you're going for gaming it's different.04:28
DasEiA-Non: dpgk....04:28
macoZykoticK9: but like... out of the box, you have 3d. none of this fussing around with extra drivers then finding out it breaks on plymouth crap04:28
tpadtensorpudding: i am going for gaming as well.04:29
econdudeawesomeDasEi not gparted, gpart04:29
actionparsnipmaco: the plymouth thing is easy to workaround with fb driver but OOTB yes04:29
A-NonDasEi: the recovery-mode thing seems to hang at "Setting sensors limits, Skip stopping firewall: ufw (not enabled)"04:29
econdudeawesomeDasEi I've closed it and opened it--same options are availabel taht were there immediately following my stupid stupid action04:29
DasEiecondudeawesome: hm , I don't what command you issued actually, so first a reboot and then see what really happened will be way to go then04:29
KE1HAtensorpudding, Browse the Ubuntu Certified Hardware lists for hardware before purchase, saved on allot of frustration.04:30
DasEiA-Non: hmm.. should run through to a simple gui04:30
econdudeawesomeI was running gparted, and used the "create new partition table" on the drive...04:30
DasEiA-Non: try to ctrl-c, if it won't move on04:30
A-NonDasEi: This machine never does what it should D: ... Ctrl+C seems to have no effect04:31
courtnican anyone tell me( in the most undestandable nderstandable terms please) how to run/ get the "desktop-switcher"04:31
VS-arrrghhh, alternate cd works, thanks a lot :D04:31
DasEiecondudeawesome: which, if any of the partis was mounted, shouldn't be possible, again: gparted-gui or parted from terminal ?04:31
econdudeawesomeDasEi gparted-gui04:31
arrrghhhVS-, np.04:32
econdudeawesomeDasEi I invoke it from the terminal04:32
DasEiecondudeawesome: so you might be lucky, just reboot and check the disk again04:32
econdudeawesomeDasEi fair enough I guess, I'll give it a shot. In the meantime I'm running gpart04:32

DasEiA-Non: service gdm stop04:37
econdudeawesomecourtni I could never get that to work exactly right. I followed a script in the ubuntu forums to set up GNOME exactly like the Netbook Remix session04:37
DasEiA-Non: service gdm start04:37
ZykoticK9courtni, i'm under the impression that UNE is actually almost entirely locked down UI wise.  Best of luck.  (i don't think the switcher is an available feature - i could be wrong)04:38

tonsofpcsis there a way to send an eof to an open stream? (I have wodim stuck waiting for data, spinning my cd drive -- 21:43:07  * tonsofpcs tries sfc04:38
tonsofpcsbah04:38
econdudeawesomecourtni if you want to switch between desktop, you need to run with GNOME session instead of netboook remix or netbook remix 2d04:38
tonsofpcsis there a way to send an eof to an open stream? (I have wodim stuck waiting for data, spinning my cd drive -- usr/bin/wodim -v gracetime=2 dev=/dev/sr0 speed=48 -dao driveropts=burnfree -eject -data -tsize=318784s - )04:38
econdudeawesomecourtni you can do this at the log in window--when you click on your account the option the change sessions is at the bottom04:38
econdudeawesomecourtni however, you could also use the GNOME session script and then just kill or reinvoke the programs you want to switch between--I think the primary one is called maximus04:39
ZykoticK9econdudeawesome, i don't believe that is an option in UNE, in Gnome yes.04:39
econdudeawesomeZykoticK9 spot on. That's wht I was saying04:40
courtniecondudeawesome: thnx a LOT!c: I can manage that.04:40

DasEiA-Non: I assume it's an nvidia card then04:42
DasEiecondudeawesome: yupp04:42
VS-Only WEP is supported?04:42
ZykoticK9Mr_Sonoma, that would be an option to exit from GDM and drop to console mode, that option doesn't exist.  You can disable GDM if you want, but not as a selection in GDM.04:42
A-NonDasEi: Nvidia FX 550004:43
KE1HAMr_Sonoma, you mean drop to a terminal v.s. starting X ?04:43
DasEiA-Non: ic, not the biggest, but enough for small compiz-effects04:43
IzinucsA-Non: DasEi you might have to use the newest binary driver that was just released that is compatible with X.org 1.8 ..04:44
ZykoticK9Mr_Sonoma, if you're actually interested in disabling GDM you can see the two methods i know of at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/notes/gdm04:44
Mr_SonomaZykoticK9, KE1HA yes, at the log in screen instead of logging into graphical have the option to go cli. hitting cntrl alt f1 just gives a blank screen unless i've already logged into the gui04:44
A-NonDasEi: It gets the job done, and it's PCI, my mobo only has PCI slots, no AGP or PCI-E :(04:44
KE1HAMr_Sonoma, Easiest way ot to log in normally, then do an Init-304:44
DasEiA-Non: saw that ? and also you ran the nvidia-settings , nor ?04:44
KE1HAMr_Sonoma, doing the init-3 will do a quick re-boot without stating X.04:45
A-NonDasEi: I don't understand what you mean there04:45
ZykoticK9!runlevels > KE1HA04:45
ubottuKE1HA, please see my private message04:45
ZykoticK9KE1HA, are you sure about that init3 thing?04:45
Mr_Sonoma!runlevels04:46
ubottuIn Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab.04:46
KE1HAI just got busted by Ubuttu :-) ... let me look at this a min :-)04:46
Mr_Sonomablah, i had forgotten about the runlevels but that looks to have killed the idea i had forgotten about LOL04:47
ZykoticK9Mr_Sonoma, KE1HA to stop GDM you can use the command "sudo service gdm stop" and you should be left with only console modes.04:48
A-NonDasEi: Compiz still kills my title bars and window borders though :(04:48
DasEiA-Non: is it 32 or 64 ?04:48
ZykoticK9A-Non, that mean compiz is failing!04:48

A-NonZykoticK9: How would I stop it from failling?04:49
KE1HAZykoticK9, rr, yes, I know you can start / stop GDM, but I was certian I could do an INIT, but maybe Im crossing wires with another distro here.04:49
c1rcuithow do i reset it back to normal?04:49
actionparsnipc1rcuit: rename it back in root recovery mode04:49
ZykoticK9A-Non, i don't know what the problem is.04:49

c1rcuitthere was /c1rcuit04:49

ZykoticK9A-Non, i have no idea what your issue is, but unless you are using nvidia i can't really be much help04:50
Mr_SonomaZykoticK9, thats a thought, and thanks for the link. let me think about how i wanna do this. I don't always want graphical i spend a lot of time on command line doing my stuff. Woulda been nice to have a way to add the option at the bottom of the log in screen where you can select recovery or what ever04:50

cntrationalwhen will you guys stop calling "ctrl" "cntrl"04:51
ZykoticK9A-Non, use whatever driver is "Recommended" in hardware drivers would be my recommendation.04:51
Izinucscntrational: tomato - tomato :)04:51
DasEiIzinucs: I just see that, that's xorg 1.704:51
cntrationalIzinucs: hilights04:51
A-NonKykoticK9, Izinucs, DasEi, which driver then?? :P04:52
IzinucsDasEi: what's 10.04 running 1.7 or 1.8?  I think Maverick is 1.804:52
* Mr_Sonoma points out that it used to be cntrl on the old keyboards back in the day04:52
cntrationalwe aren't that old04:52
Random832Izinucs: back in what day?04:52
ZykoticK9A-Non, you also might want to move your current xorg and let nvidia generate a new one.  Move with "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig" then "sudo nvidia-xconfig" to generate a new one.  Just a suggestion.04:52
IzinucsA-Non: looking04:52
Random832i'm pretty sure it went straight from "Control" to "Ctrl"04:52
KE1HAZykoticK9, You are indeed correct, Run-Levels, 3 to 5 are the same for Debian system, 2 is a single level user mode, similar to WIndows safemode.: http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html04:53

FreshPrinceZykoticK9, so what u think? should i get the 64-bit iso or not?, thats a joke, why it wouldn't be a good idea to use 64-bit for daily usage?05:14

DasEiA-Non: and your current hardwaredrivers also sho same version as the download being in use ?05:15
mikeruDasEi: what I want to know is about motherboard memory - e.g. CPU-Z tells me its DDR 512MB Single channel frequency etc, while stupid SysInfo tells me Total: 1001 Swap total and thats all05:15
ZykoticK9FreshPrince, i use 64bit for my desktop.  i don't use 64bit on my htpc though, there are some emulators that are still 32bit only.  basically it's possible to use 64bit as well, or better then 32bit BUT it's more difficult to setup, thus "not recommended" or so the argument goes.05:15
A-NonDasEi: I think so yeah.05:15
macoFreshPrince: it says that mostly just to warn off people who dont know what 64bit is, because you can install 32bit on a 32 or 64 bit computer but not vice versa05:16
DasEimikeru: free05:16
macoFreshPrince: other than that... proprietary software can be slightly more annoying on 64bit, but theres 64bit java now, and skype and flash both work, so...05:16
mikeruDasEi: I don't want to know how much memory I have. I want to know which type of memory it is.05:17

ZykoticK9FreshPrince, i agree - but honestly, if you have less then 4G of memory you're probably best not to bother (unless you're planning on upgrading later ;)05:20
DanaG64-bit does make some number-crunching faster, even given 2 gigs -- more registers to use.05:21

FreshPrincehm ok05:22
FreshPrincethen i'm gonna dowenload the 32-bit05:22
FreshPrince*download05:22
ZykoticK9FreshPrince, it might speed up a couple of things (like encoding) but it's probably not worth the extra effort with only 1GB, 64bit requires more memory to run the same app as 32bit does!05:22
DanaGah yeah, forgot that bit.05:22

FreshPrinceZykoticK9, ok05:22
DanaGThe only "more memory" would come from pointers being 64-bit instead of 32-bit.05:23

DasEiA-Non: sry, was digging launchpad for 185 or higher in view of fx 5500, no, just newer gforces there05:25
ZykoticK9FreshPrince, the "just working" factor or Ubuntu is what brought ME from 5+ years of Gentoo.  Never been happier</ot>05:26
KE1HAMr_Sonoma, did you get what you were looing for earlier? maco was correct abotu the runlevels on UB/DEB.05:26
A-NonDasEi: So driver 173 is as high as it goes for the FX 5500 then?05:26
macoFreshPrince: ive found memory consumption on 64bit to be quite a bit higher than on 32bit. it sorta forced me to upgrade from 2gb to 405:27
DasEiA-Non: as far as I can see yes, next in apt is 185, that' wont do no  more05:27
Mr_SonomaKE1HA, yes. sorta. i've got your work around and that'll work and that'll work for me. but it wasn't really what i was hoping for kinda thing.05:27
A-NonDasEi: Well if the drivers can't be helped, any other ideas why compiz won't load?05:27

john38its backward compatible isnt it05:42
mikerumaco: OH I'm so sorry to use wrong terminology. Shame on me. I meant Macs are abnormal PCs that do not use BIOS05:42
DanaGA mac IS a PC made by Apple.05:42
DanaGEFI is a type of BIOS, actually -- at least that's my impression.05:42
DanaGMy EliteBook has UEFI support, though it's broken -- so I have to boot with the "CSM" (Compatibility something-or-other) in old-fashioned BIOS mode.05:43
macotensorpudding: more general than that. a computer thats .. basically not a mainframe, dedicated server, or embedded05:43
SubCoolOk- here is a question. If i were to install VNC, how would i install it so that the services are running before login- or is that not possible, and id have to setup the box to auto log in05:43
john38can you hook up SATA and SATA 3.0gb/s to SATA 6gb/s05:43
john38its backward compatible isnt it05:43
tensorpuddingEFI is not a type of BIOS in the same way that a motorcycle is not a type of bicycle05:43
mikerusorry, lemme change again words. I meant PCs made by Apple have weird issues that other brands of PCs seem not to exhibit05:44
mikeruhappieh?05:44
macomikeru: apples are oddly popular among linux folks, so they tend to have pretty darned good linux support05:44
crkdurp05:44
maco(buy hardware from the most proprietary company, then put a free os on it....O_o)05:44
tensorpuddingNow that they use Intel processors they're easy to support05:45
mikerumaco: some do, yet some have horrid. I had to literally compile my own grub-efi to get mine to work05:45
crkapple=expensive for no good reason05:45
john38<<waiting for Imacs with six-core05:45
DanaGGood luck on that.05:45
DanaGYou're better off going with other brands.05:45
mikerumaco: and EFI is not well supported AFAIK. since mine won't run in BIOS mode, I have to use EFI boot.05:46
DanaGtensorpudding: that's a good analogy, that motorcycle one.05:46
john38can you hook up SATA and SATA 3.0gb/s to SATA 6gb/s05:46
john38its backward compatible isnt it05:46
DanaGUEFI support is a goal for Maverick.05:46
mikeruI'd love that05:46
macomikeru: i think grub2 is supposed to work with efi, and refit is the usual thing for making stuff go, but last week i watched someone install ubuntu on his macbook without using refit first, just a normal ubuntu livecd install. uncertain as to whether dual boots can be done this way though05:46
ZykoticK9john38, try asking in ##hardware for a more decisive answer, but i "believe" SATA is forward/backwards compatible (but not the speeds obviously).05:47
mikeruparticularly, I dislike that after starting X all ttys are toast05:47

greezmunkey!register > greezmunkey05:48
ubottugreezmunkey, please see my private message05:48
macomikeru: refit wasnt needed for this person though.  he didnt dual boot though, did a full-disk install for ubuntu. so maybe its only needed for dual boots? this was with 10.0405:49
ZykoticK9greezmunkey, if you want to send yourself a bot message you can use "/msg ubottu WHATYOURLOOKINGFOR" and it won't show up in the channel ;)05:49
mikeruhowever, this macbook in specific (5,2) has a weird bug that will not let it boot that way, unless you disable a core or ACPI, or boot from grub-efi (which is another binary not in the mbr)05:49
mikerumaco: that's why. refit is for ease of dual booting05:49
greezmunkeysorry about that, my bad.05:49

mikerumaco: I'm telling you, however, this mac can't use the grub included with ubuntu (grub-pc) because it runs in BIOS mode. it needs grub-efi which (obviously) runs in EFI mode.05:51

ZykoticK9SubCool, what do you mean "before" login?  I think there is something you can install that will allow VNC to connect to the GDM login screen (but not 100% on that).  If you mean before X starts - not possible.06:04

SubCoolZykoticK9, not necessarily before xstarts, just so that if the box gets rebooted, i can still log in remotely06:05
ZykoticK9maco, no not xrdcp, it's some vnc/gdm package of some sort.06:05
SubCooli made a service from the instruction that will initialize the server after login, but i dont believe before login.06:06

blackasaurusI just installed 10.04 and xchat-gnome on a $298 acer laptop from walmart with amd 2.2ghz 2gb memory, 250 gb hdd dvd burner, 15.6" hd lcd and windows 7 and everything works flawlessly. :)06:29
macodfrank: i imagine you're used to wpa supplicant's usual commands then. in interfaces you can just prefix them with wpa-06:29
macodfrank: like "wpa-ssid linksys" and "wpa-psk mypassw0rdishere" as two lines in your wireless's stanza06:30
ActionParsnipSo_Confused: no, as you read the guide they mention jaunty. You aren't using jaunty, you are using lucid. so when you see the word jaunty, change it in your head to lucid. do the same with any other release name words you see06:30
macodfrank: then just commen/uncomment as you chane APs and use "ifup $interface"06:30

bzaks1424After a kernel update from a fresh install of Ubuntu - my boot time extends about 20-30 seconds while the HD is very busy... what's going on and how can I alleviate the issue?06:37
ActionParsnipbzaks1424: reboot, get logged in and stuff then run:  dmesg | less    observer the times on the left, when you get a large gap, that is where your issue is06:38
bzaks1424cool - what's that caused by?06:38
bzaks1424oh06:38
bzaks1424wait06:39
JustMozzymy second problem is that frequently when I am listening to music or playing a game the machine just freezes and draws either a grey, black or striped screen. anyone any ideas on that?06:39
bzaks1424I totally get what you just said - sorry06:39
picard1421would there be a way to setup an install with KDE... and basically have KDE only for login.. once it logs in it kills KDE goes straight to ... command line (like server edition)>???06:39

picard1421i want to have a KDE login... so that it pops up with a KDE based LOGIn a GUI thing that i can customize.. Once I "login" then i want it to basically drop EVERYThing and go back to just ubuntu server edition?06:45
ActionParsnipo2oo: there is no best anything in life06:45
macomikeru: yep, but im saying i know kdm comes configured out of the box with an option to do what picard1421 wants06:45
ActionParsnip!ide | o2oo06:45

macomikeru: last time i used gdm, it didnt06:45
mikeruActionParsnip: I'd say eclipse is.06:45
mikeruo2oo: try eclipse. It's very good, and since it's primary focus is java you'll feel right at home06:46
ActionParsnipmikeru: yes, thats an opinion. or best to you. a universal outright best of anything doesn't exist. Even living isn't best to some people06:46
o2ooyes, I am using it06:46
* mikeru feels suicidal thoughts stem from ActionParsnip06:47
o2ooI am using eclipse. but it seems couldn't edit the source code outside the project06:47
ActionParsnipo2oo: use what you like. You are using an OS which promotes choice then you wander in here so a group of strangers can tell you what to use.... doesn't make sense06:47
tensorpuddingyeah, that's part of the issue of using an IDE06:47
mikeruo2oo: just drop the source file by the open files tabs. it will open it06:47
tensorpuddingyou can still edit the .java files outside of Eclipse though06:48
mikeruand you need no project06:48
picard1421i think you get what im Saying..06:48
picard1421?06:48
mikerui.e. you have foo.java open, and you want to open not-in-project bar.java, you just drag it from nautilus beside the foo.java tab in eclise06:48
picard1421basically just have  KDE login screen and then just DROP KDE all together06:49
mikerupicard1421: you can set it to log to gnome, but it still requires every single KDE library installed, even if you won't use it.06:49
picard1421basically i saw i wanted to use PAM for facical recognition login.. unless you can find a way to do facial recognition without a GUI...??? i mean i would prefer to have no GUI installed but im not sure the best way to get facial recognition without a GUI.. will DWM or X11 be enough not even full KDE?06:49
mikerupicard1421: facial recognition is blasphemous06:50
picard1421wht do u mean?06:50
mikerupicard1421: I've yet to see it :P06:50
ActionParsnippicard1421: why do you want gui login if you are just going to use cli??06:50
picard1421ActionParsnip: well im trying to do facial recognition login.. i dont want a GUI.. at all.. but i cant figure out a way to do facial recognition login without it??06:51
VS-So, no one can help?06:51
mikerupicard1421: ActionParsnip says words of wisdom, listen to him/her06:51
picard1421if there is anyway or any program to use to do it through CLI i would soooooo happy06:51
ActionParsnipmikeru: him ;)06:51
ActionParsnippicard1421: weird stuff, i see you point06:51
picard1421yea lol its somewhat interesting..06:52
ActionParsnippicard1421: i'd just have the user log in to an x session then06:52
picard1421well how about this at least: is there a way to have static images as the login screen..? not a GUI but basically static Image with type username type password06:52
picard1421then06:53
ActionParsnippicard1421: i believe maco knows a thing or 306:53
SubCooldid i miss anything?06:53
picard1421if the username works you get another static image for 5 seconds then goes right to CLI normall and then if it doesnt work then goes to another Static image for 5 weconds... back to login... It does even have to "login" to the terminal... like almost a security barrier before logging in (as stupid as this may sound)06:53
picard1421actionParsnip: what about the X session?06:54
macopicard1421: kdm is still graphical, but it has a way to login so that you just get a tty.  its a default option.  if you just remove the graphical options, the users cant screw around and pick non-tty06:54
So_ConfusedAbout the backports... Am I to install ALL the Lucid backports modules, or just the ones that say 'wireless'?06:55
SubCoolpicard1421, be sure to test it- , i did that once, and it somehow crashed my X-06:55
picard1421tty ?06:55
VS-Argh, how do I fix the "Unexpectedly disconnected from boot system daemon" error?06:55
picard1421i assume that means like CLI?06:55
SubCoolya06:56
macopicard1421: yes the thing you get when you ctrl+alt+f106:56
macopicard1421: thats tty1 and the f2 one is tty2 etc06:56
SubCoolbut then u have to manually startx06:56
SubCoolright?06:56
macoSubCool: picard1421 wants X not to be there at all06:56
SubCoolor have they changed that06:56
picard1421yeayea06:56
SubCoolya- i know06:56
macoSubCool: or at least not after you login06:56
SubCoolya- thats what we r talking about06:56
picard1421what about.... use KDE as a barrier before that..06:56

SubCooli hate mandriva06:57
SubCoolim sure there is- but ... it would be a hassle06:58
picard1421whats KDM?06:58
macopicard1421: the login screen used in kde06:58
macopicard1421: as opposed to gdm, the login screen used in gnome06:58
macopicard1421: dm = display manager06:58
SubCoolacronyms are silly like that06:58
picard1421there is no graphical setup for obviously just server lol06:58

So_Confusedrunning 10.04 netbook. Trying to get Atheros AR9285 working. Installing the lucid backports, do I install ALL backports for lucid, or just those that say 'wireless'? Should this be the solution or just part 1 of it?06:59
tensorpuddingi just checked, there are a lot of them06:59
macopicard1421: right but if you just install kdm, you can make it work with fingerprint readers and whatnots, and set it up so that it ONLY allows login to CLI/TTY, and then youve got what ou want06:59
picard1421ohhh06:59
SubCoolActionParsnip, i have run across it before when my graphics cards fail- its a nightmare.. i have always dreaded CLI- but im giving in,.06:59

ActionParsnipjoeyyyy: use iptables or firestarter to configure iptables07:10
picard1421?07:10
ActionParsnippicard1421: flwm is probably lightest, Fluxbox, openbox are light too07:10
picard1421do thery have GUI login's07:10
ActionParsnippicard1421: the login system is seperate to the DE and WM07:10
Loshkipicard1421: yes, and some are specially designed to be extra light. One of the lightest is said to be fluxbox per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=27887207:11
ActionParsnippicard1421: you can use KDM to log into any desktop environmnt you like, a desktop environment doesn't have a dedicated login system07:11
picard1421but for example will programs that work on KDE no work on this.. like for example PAM.. if i wanted to to just like i said literallly run just a login with GUI and thats it?07:12
picard1421but why did KDM take 212 MB to DL?07:12
picard1421seems very heafty.. becuase it needs all the dependencies of good ol KDE?07:12
shawnboyanyone know how to add an album to CDDB?07:12
picard1421evenouthg they are not running07:12

well_laid_lawnall the kde libs come with kdm afaik07:12
picard1421kk07:12
ActionParsnippicard1421: its also why servers dont have x servers, its less to run and smaller footprint, leaving greater resources for the stuff it i serving07:13
picard1421hmmm..07:14
picard1421but for example if i just login with KDM07:14
Doctehheh be careful if you install two display managers at once, its hard to fix kdm and gdm fighting over an X display07:14
picard1421and set it to go to tty107:14
picard1421or tty in general will all the KDE dependencies not be used.. resource non intensive.. ?07:14
Doctehpicard1421: its a question of "is the thing running" not "is it visible"07:15
Doctehpicard1421: you could just get people to learn to type startx if they want a gui ;)07:15
mariosi want to install ubuntu and then backtrack 4 tools , do you think is possible ?07:15
picard1421its not the fact they need a gui.. doctech, its the fact for face authentication.. and i cant figure out a awy to have like face autentication login then goes directly to CLI..07:16
picard1421like if there was only a face auth tool that worked exclusively in CLI..07:17

ActionParsnipmikeru: true but its a decent enough chip for torrents + file server + backup, a celeron would be lovely07:44
invisibleprisonThis is what df reports for that partition: /dev/sda8  747G  709G  4.0K 100% /home. How does that make sense? There's ~40G unaccounted for there, nevermind the fact that only about 50-60G should be used, not 709G07:44
GetDownActionParsnip, xangua  i'm checking sec....07:44
hstefanActionParsnip: yeah, but as I said before, it was a present (from my mother) and she knows shit about hardware.07:44
mikeruActionParsnip: then, use a celeron :-)07:44
collabrarxd: It's a standalone install,... when you said frugal i thought you meant a minimal install,...07:44
ActionParsnipinvisibleprison: that would be the journal07:44
collabrarxd: what is frugal?07:45

invisibleprisonActionParsnip, Do you know why my drive would be showing up as full when it's not?07:45
mikeruactionparsnip: mmm07:45
mikeru: (07:45
rxdcollabra: frugal is when you install ubuntu on an ntfs partition without using the device say /dev/sda1 as your root07:45
ActionParsnipinvisibleprison: it is, the space is occupied by the ext3 or ext4 journal07:45
hstefanActionParsnip: ooh, waait. I dunno if that howto you sent me will work. I don't get any error when execute 'modprobe sis190'07:46
invisibleprisonActionParsnip, 650G?07:46
ActionParsniphstefan: oooh exciting. Try: ifconfig07:46
hstefanhumm, what am I searching there?07:46
rxdcollabra: like u have a readonly system...same like running from the CD but instead your initrd.gz filesystem.squashfs on the drive say c:\ubuntu07:47
collabrarxd: oh,... well,... you can download ubuntu 10.04 LTS,... I think it has what's called an install using wubi.exe if you want to put it within windows.07:47
ActionParsnipinvisibleprison: 747gb - 709gb = 36gb which is about right for a journal on a partition that size07:47

LinuxFetushey I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32-bit.  I'm new to Linux.  When I first installed Ubuntu, it would display an Ubuntu Splash/Loader with the word Ubuntu, the logo, and about five dots that would be lighting up underneath... I did something and now it just shows a black screen with a blinking underscore in the upper-left hand corner.  What do I have to do to restore the original boot splash screen?  Thanks in advance!07:53
collabrarxd: right on,... glad to help.07:53
ActionParsnipinvisibleprison: yep, the partition is full. If you install bleachbit you can clear temp stuff out nicely. Watch browser settings as it'll clean settings you wanna keep. Also avoid settings that say they will take a long time. Also before running close as many apps as you can to unlock files07:53
ShurathingLike the name LinuxFetus07:53
roved2101oh yes07:54
LinuxFetusShurathing, thank you :)07:54
invisibleprisonActionParsnip, The problem isn't temp files. I only have 56G that SHOULD be showing. I deleted a 500GB .xsession file this morning and I'm wondering if somehow whichever process it was is still writing to the partition, but not to an actual file?07:55

invisibleprisonActionParsnip, if I kill all of the programs that had a handle on the .xsession file, do you think that could help?07:59
ActionParsnipLinuxFetus: it walks you through it. The proprietary driver isn't loaded right away so the display stinks. The frmebuffer driver is quicker and will give a display for the duration of the boot07:59

ActionParsnipgrendal_prime: why do you need a fullblown desktop? What activities are you doing?08:32
shorttechI'm wondering if there is a way for me to test my kvpnc connection08:32
grendal_primethe main reason is that this box is for virutalmachines primarily.08:32
ilovefairuzgrendal_prime: ssh08:32
shorttechI dont think its working 100% - I just switched from Mandriva and I had working in Mandria 10 just fine, but cant seem to find the problem with ubuntu08:33
grendal_primei use ssh every day. most of the work i do is on remote nix systems.  this is why i know very little about remote desktops in general08:33
shorttechmaybe its something with my firewall08:33
grendal_primefree nx seems to be pretty reliable and fast.08:33
ActionParsnipgrendal_prime: the vms can be handled on the vm. You can x forward the management x based app if you need it or if the server has a web interface, even better08:34
LinuxFetusActionParsnip, Well it's getting better but there are a couple of problems - it changed the resolution of Grub 2 -- now everything's tiny... I don't like that.  Secondly, the Ubuntu font/logo isn't there.  It's now just "Ubuntu 10.04" with serifs on the font and not the standard logo, if that makes sense.  My Grub is configured slightly differently.  Inside of /etc/grub.d, I have changed 40_custom to have options for the OS's I08:34
LinuxFetus want to select on startup (I don't like the fact that there's a memtest, etc., and that I can't rename them).  I have two choices: "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" and "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" (that's what I've called them).  I chmod'ed the permissions on "10_linux," "30_os-prober", and "20_memtest86+" to no longer be executable by anyone (chmod ugo-x).  Then I run update-grub and then my boot/grub/grub.lst file or whatever only08:34
LinuxFetushas two menu options -- the two specified in 40_custom.  I don't know if that's pertinent, or not, but I thought I'd let you know just in case.08:34

frag4nowhi all. I'm going to install wxWidgets compiling it but pkg-config can't find GKT libraries. I looked for in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ directory but there isn't a gtk+.pc file...any ideas?08:41
hariomUSB stick? how? Should I extract ISO and put that in USB stick and make USB as first boot device?08:41
ActionParsniphariom: if you have a 1gb stick you can put the desktop iso on it and install it all offline08:41
Adminio\j #ubuntu-it08:41
ActionParsniphariom: no, it needs software like usb-creator-gtk or the tool on pendrivelinux which is for windows08:42
