| aocoder | Howdy! I was trying to install Cairo-dock, and in the process, caused an error that prevents my Synaptic package manager from opening. What should I do? Here's the error: E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:12 |
| aocoder | E: The list of sources could not be read. | 04:12 |

| paultag | Hey Ubuntu Beginners team. I got me a problem. I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 UNR on my HP Mini 110. I have an Intel 945GME and I can't get hardware acceleration working. | 04:34 |
| paultag | The card should be supported under xserver-xorg-video-intel | 04:34 |
| paultag | It's installed and up to date | 04:35 |
| paultag | It was working with 10.04 UNR, 10.04 Stock and Debian Testing | 04:35 |
| nhandler | paultag: You installed all of the things under System->Administration->Additional Drivers, right? | 04:41 |
| paultag | nhandler, it's intel, the driver is f/oss and included by default. The only stuff there is WiFi ( which I have working OK ) | 04:41 |
| nhandler | Bleh, I can't keep track of which companies have the darn proprietary drivers ;) | 04:42 |
| paultag | :) | 04:42 |
| nhandler | paultag: You could put askubuntu.com to the test ;) | 04:43 |
| paultag | meh :) | 04:43 |
| paultag | I'll just get condescending responses ( esp. when I'm doing it on a netbook ) | 04:44 |
| paultag | it's why i hate fourms, really | 04:44 |
| nhandler | paultag: It is still in the early stages, so the trolls haven't shown up yet. And so far, the rep system has been keeping the answers pretty well in line (we also have jcastro to slap bad users around for us) | 04:45 |
| paultag | nhandler, all the posts I've seen are "Lawl, post your xorg.conf" for a post WRT 10.10 | 04:45 |
| paultag | Well, back to the drawing board. | 04:48 |
| paultag | thanks nhandler | 04:48 |
| nhandler | Sorry I couldn't help more paultag, hardware is not my area | 04:48 |
| paultag | it's cool | 04:50 |
| paultag | time to dig deep. | 04:50 |
| duanedesign | hey paultag | 04:58 |

| rui | i have a problem with skype | 05:05 |
| aveilleux | rui: I use Skype a little, what's up? | 05:05 |
| rui | hello aveillex | 05:06 |
| rui | i have ubuntu 10.10 and every time i start the video it crashes | 05:06 |
| aveilleux | rui: What webcam do you have? Are you sure it works under Ubuntu? | 05:07 |
| rui | yes it it works with linux mint 9 | 05:07 |
| rui | i have linux mint 9 and ubuntu in the same computer | 05:07 |
| aveilleux | rui: Okay. Does the test video work? | 05:07 |
| rui | aveillex:yes | 05:08 |
| rui | aveilleux: i try with cheese and works | 05:08 |
| aveilleux | rui: I don't know what "cheese" is. I meant the video test in the Skype settings. | 05:09 |
| rui | aveilleux: i have an logitech c270 | 05:09 |
| duanedesign | cheese - A tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam | 05:10 |
| aveilleux | rui: Do you have uvcvideo installed? | 05:10 |
| aveilleux | Thanks, duanedesign | 05:10 |
| duanedesign | :) | 05:10 |
| aveilleux | rui: the uvcvideo driver, I mean | 05:10 |
| rui | aveilleux:i try the test with the skype and works | 05:10 |
| aveilleux | rui: Hm, so it's only when you're in a call? Interesting... | 05:11 |
| aveilleux | rui: Open Terminal for me and paste the output of the following command: uname -a | 05:12 |
| rui | aveilleux:Linux rui-desktop 2.6.35-22-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Sun Oct 10 09:24:00 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux | 05:12 |
| duanedesign | can you run skype from the terminal? to see if it prints any messages when it fails? | 05:13 |
| aveilleux | rui: DOes this happen if the other user is not broadcasting their webcam? | 05:13 |
| aveilleux | s/DOes/Does | 05:13 |
| rui | aveilleux: it happens when i start my video | 05:14 |
| rui | aveilleux:when im in a video call and start my video | 05:15 |
| aveilleux | rui: What I mean is, does this happen if the other user does *not* have their camera enabled? | 05:15 |
| aveilleux | rui: That is, you are the first user to turn on your video | 05:16 |
| rui | aveilleux:it happens when i start th other user have is video first | 05:16 |
| aveilleux | rui: So, the answer to my question is "no". | 05:17 |
| rui | aveilleux:im the second to start the video | 05:17 |
| aveilleux | rui: Can you try that for me? Start a call (voice only) and enable your camera first. See if the call crashes. | 05:17 |
| rui | aveilleux:you see im strong positive | 05:17 |
| rui | aveilleux:i need somone to make acall and the test call only accepts audio without the video | 05:19 |
| aveilleux | rui: I'll sign into Skype then. My username is tony.vee | 05:20 |

| mR0 | My gnome menu (places) won't opened. It shown "No application is registered as handling this file". How can I fix it? | 10:11 |
| ehcah | Is there a ubuntu add-on to open Windows Java based applications? | 13:56 |
| zeroseven0183 | Hi ehcah: I'm not familiar with Windows Java-based stuff but you might want to try installing WINE. | 13:57 |
| ehcah | Tried that first. The applet doesn't end in .exe. | 13:58 |
| ehcah | It installs, but won't open? | 13:58 |
| zeroseven0183 | I see | 13:58 |
| ehcah | At least I figure it won't open for that reason anyway? I'm not getting an errors. | 13:59 |
| zeroseven0183 | It's in .jar I assume | 14:01 |
| paultag | there is no such thing as a windows java application | 14:04 |
| paultag | java is java | 14:04 |
| paultag | and zeroseven0183 -- sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre sun-java6-bin | 14:04 |
| paultag | zeroseven0183, that should let you run it. Just do java -jar file.jar | 14:04 |
| paultag | ( in the working directory ) | 14:05 |
| paultag | Oh sorry zeroseven0183 | 14:05 |
| paultag | ehcah, that was all for you | 14:05 |
| paultag | I've just woke up | 14:05 |
| paultag | ehcah, and never resort to wine as a first-line defense. Always look for a native version of an application | 14:05 |
| paultag | ehcah, wine is buggy, you should not rely on it. that's a plan B | 14:05 |
| paultag | BRB | 14:06 |
| ehcah | Folks: Sorry. I was away from my desk for a few minutes. I will try paultag's suggestion immediately. | 14:10 |
| ehcah | paultag: none of those packages exist? I've also looked for them in the Synaptic package manager and ubuntu software centers. The closest I found was an Apache licensed product? | 14:16 |
| Mohan_chml | ehcah: look for Java 6 | 14:19 |
| ehcah | Runtime or web start | 14:20 |
| Mohan_chml | ehcah: you read http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml ? | 14:21 |
| ehcah | Mohan_chml: Thank you. From what I read just a second ago, I beleive it's the runtime that I need... | 14:22 |
| Mohan_chml | ehcah: =] | 14:23 |
| ehcah | One problem solved and now another: "wine: Install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables" | 14:26 |
| Mohan_chml | aww you are using Wine??? | 14:27 |
| ehcah | The "mono" apps I find are for developpers? which I am not. | 14:27 |
| ehcah | I am. This is a different app. | 14:27 |
| ehcah | I just did a complete rebuild of my laptop to ubuntu 10.10 (single boot, no more windows) | 14:27 |
| Mohan_chml | ehcah: Had you tried installing directly?? coz Wine is not good | 14:28 |
| ehcah | I need to run 2 different applications to manage my Russound Whole House Audio System. | 14:28 |
| ehcah | Yes. | 14:28 |
| ehcah | Run's on windows only. :( | 14:28 |
| Mohan_chml | argh! | 14:28 |
| Mohan_chml | you are sure that it only works for win X ? | 14:29 |
| ehcah | Agreed. Ironically, most of Russounds devices run on embeded Linux OS's. | 14:29 |
| ehcah | Per documentation and that I could not install it without invoking the "wine" command. | 14:29 |
| Mohan_chml | I have no clue about wine. Lemme google about the error | 14:31 |
| ehcah | No worries. I'll do that. | 14:31 |
| ehcah | I appreciate the offer though. | 14:31 |
| Mohan_chml | (: | 14:31 |
| Mohan_chml | ehcah: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=527319 for installing mono | 14:33 |
| ehcah | Mohan_chml: Are you running 10.10 or 10.4 LTS? | 14:37 |
| Mohan_chml | Lucind 10.04 | 14:38 |
| Mohan_chml | Lucid* | 14:38 |
| ehcah | I kept 10.04 on my servers, but when I rebuilt my laptop last night I used 10.10. I'm wondering if the repo's are different or If I'm missing some? I find I'm not able to apt-get install.... things I was able to before? | 14:39 |
| seidos | is downloading an ubuntu iso from torrents sufficient for insuring data integrity? | 14:39 |
| ehcah | I wonder if I should go back to 10.04 on my laptop before I do to much customization. | 14:39 |
| Mohan_chml | ehcah: no | 14:40 |
| Mohan_chml | seidos: Be sure that you have the links from the official ubuntu website | 14:40 |
| seidos | Mohan_chml, of course :) | 14:42 |
| Mohan_chml | sebsebseb: then no worries :) | 14:42 |
| AndrewMC | seidos: in fact using bittorrent is better as it dosnt put so much load on Ubuntu's servers | 14:44 |
| handlep | hi folks. i have ubuntu on my desktop in a dual boot setup. it's never worked particularly well, mainly because i have problems with my monitor not being supported. anyway, i thought i would give it another try to see if the updated version is better, but when i try to upgrade i get told i do not have enough room in my /usr directory. i don't know where trash is, so i can't check that's empty, and i don't know how to increas | 14:46 |
| Mohan_chml | handlep: Hola. you can find trash by clicking computer in places | 14:51 |
| seidos | AndrewMC, do you think doing md5sum on the iso is overkill after downloading through bit torrent? | 14:54 |
| handlep | right ok, thnx, i'll look there. but, what if i can't free any more space up? is it possible to increase the size of usr? | 14:54 |
| Mohan_chml | handlep: what is the side of you "/" partition? | 14:55 |
| Mohan_chml | size* | 14:55 |
| handlep | off the top of my head i don't know, i'm chatting from windows now - is there a way for me to look in my windows file manager to see that? if not, i know the upgrade wanted just over 1200 meg, and i needed to free up about 500 meg | 14:58 |
| Mohan_chml | handlep: right click My Computer, Click manage and then Disk management I think | 14:59 |
| Mohan_chml | you can find the size of the partition. BUT | 15:00 |
| Mohan_chml | DO NOT name the partition as it is not visible | 15:00 |
| handlep | ok, on my way | 15:00 |
| handlep | ok, in disk manager | 15:01 |
| handlep | but not sure i can see the ubuntu partition | 15:02 |
| handlep | but when i look in my d drive, ubuntu is using 12 gig | 15:02 |
| Mohan_chml | handlep: are you using dual boot or installed inside windows? | 15:10 |
| handlep | it's dual boot - when i boot up, i get a boot menu, and select either windows or ubuntu | 15:13 |
| handlep | i know ubuntu has an unistall function, but i have heard it mnight mess up my windows installation too | 15:13 |
| Mohan_chml | handlep: Okay do one thing. get into ubuntu and move the contents in home folder to some other partitions | 15:14 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Hello. | 15:19 |
| Mohan_chml | Hola Silver_Fox_. Feeling good now? | 15:19 |
| handlep | hmmmm........... ok | 15:19 |
| handlep | but | 15:20 |
| handlep | could you give me an idiot's guide to doing that please? | 15:20 |
| Mohan_chml | handlep: can you come here from Ubuntu ? | 15:20 |
| handlep | sure, will do | 15:22 |
| handlep | might be a few minutes before i am back | 15:22 |
| Mohan_chml | handlep: Take your time :) | 15:22 |
| Mohan_chml | Late :/ | 15:22 |
| Silver_Fox_ | I am fine thank you Mohan_chml . How are you? | 15:24 |
| Mohan_chml | I am doing good and I heard you are not well Silver_Fox_ :( | 15:25 |

| Mohan_chml | But keep those folders. just copy their contents | 15:44 |

| komputes | genupulas: if you need help along the way, ask in #ubuntu-server (very knowledgeable server folks chat there) | 17:14 |
| genupulas | oh thank you very much | 17:14 |
| Elonoir | Hi | 17:15 |
| Mohan_chml | Yay komputes is here | 17:15 |
| Mohan_chml | Hello Elonoir | 17:15 |
| Elonoir | I am have recently tried out/installed Ubuntu and took notes while doing so. | 17:18 |
| Elonoir | What I did etc. | 17:19 |
| Elonoir | I want to know what the best place is to get those notes to & help to get some things changed. | 17:19 |
| Elonoir | Couldn't find anything online. | 17:19 |
| Elonoir | Long story: What's the best place to learn as much as possible from my expierence? | 17:20 |
| Mohan_chml | Elonoir: Explore your machine and ask here or in #ubuntu if you have any difficulties | 17:20 |
| Mohan_chml | and another best way to learn is by helping other peeps. You can do that by remaining in official channels, watching people helping others with issues and you trying to help others | 17:21 |
| Elonoir | I mean what can I do with my note, expierence to improve those things in Ubuntu. | 17:22 |
| Elonoir | It's a terrible test; but it might be possible to get some UX improvements out of it. | 17:22 |
| Mohan_chml | Elonoir: make a bolg about what you are learning and try converting yourself as a developer by learning programming regarding OS regularly | 17:23 |
| Mohan_chml | Hola aveilleux | 17:23 |
| aveilleux | 'lo Mohan_chml | 17:23 |
| Elonoir | And what if what I want to change is something else than source code? | 17:24 |
| Elonoir | ( UX design, etc. ) | 17:24 |
| Elonoir | It's useless to write a blog that nobody will read. | 17:24 |
| Mohan_chml | Elonoir: blog is for your future use and look for GNOME development | 17:25 |
| aveilleux | Elonoir: I write a blog that no one reads :( | 17:25 |
| Mohan_chml | Elonoir: we use blogs for our reference in future and that is the best way to do if you learn (as human brain forgets a stuff soon =]) | 17:26 |
| Elonoir | That's why I made notes and am typing it out as I speak. | 17:26 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Elonoir: i'd agree to what Mohan_chml says. :) | 17:26 |
| JoeMaverickSett | even i do write a blog that no one reads. | 17:27 |
| Elonoir | Thought there should be a user expierence department that I can help with my expierence. | 17:27 |
| aveilleux | Elonoir: But what if someone happens to come accross something that you already fixed? Your knowledge isn't on the Internet, so they can't find it :P | 17:27 |
| Mohan_chml | Elonoir: try remaining here and help people coming with issues :) | 17:27 |
| Elonoir | That it's why I want to help fix something within another project. Instead of working out nothing. | 17:27 |
| aveilleux | Elonoir, how are you working out nothing? | 17:28 |
| aveilleux | Elonoir, blogs are indexed by Google too | 17:29 |
| Elonoir | Writing a blog that who's expierence is never used is useless. | 17:29 |
| aveilleux | Elonoir, How do you know it would be useless? | 17:29 |
| Elonoir | Because nothing gets changed. | 17:29 |
| aveilleux | Elonoir, So, until it gets fixed upstream, you can help other users fix the problem. | 17:30 |
| Elonoir | I'm willing to work things out and do what I can for upstream. | 17:30 |
| Elonoir | ( this case mostly Ubuntu. ) | 17:30 |
| aveilleux | Elonoir, my blog (before I took it down) was full of little nitpicky problems I faced with Ubuntu, and it got upwards of 100 hits a day. | 17:30 |
| Elonoir | And did any of them improve? | 17:31 |
| aveilleux | Elonoir, Then the problems got fixed eventually, but I still got hits for slightly different problems | 17:31 |
| aveilleux | Elonoir, Yes! | 17:31 |
| aveilleux | Elonoir, The point is that fixes aren't instantaneous. You can't find a problem then immediately deploy a solution. Until a patch is made, the problem will persist. | 17:31 |
| Elonoir | And wouldn't it be better if I took matters in my own hands and work together with people that face the same problem. Instead of sitting on the sideline and yelling that people have to fix it for me. | 17:32 |
| aveilleux | Elonoir, Uh, we never told you not to. | 17:32 |
| Elonoir | most things I noticed are very very small things. | 17:32 |
| aveilleux | Elonoir, Do both!! | 17:32 |
| Elonoir | I can't code; but I can help with UI design. | 17:32 |
| aveilleux | Elonoir, I even get hits on my LP page because I wrote about how to move the close-minimize-maximize buttons back over to the right, which is something that Canonical apparently really loves not "fixing" | 17:33 |
| Elonoir | Or preferably user expierence. | 17:33 |
| Elonoir | Itś motivated etc. Understable. =) | 17:39 |
| Elonoir | Get their motivation. | 17:40 |
| Elonoir | That blog won | 17:45 |
| Elonoir | 't change anything. Is there another place to be part of such discussions? | 17:45 |
| aveilleux | #ubuntu-dev, probably | 17:47 |
| shahan | I am using Maverick. I have selected ADMINISTRATION> UPDATE MANAGER | 18:03 |

| shahan | but mine is http://paste.ubuntu.com/512502/ | 18:04 |
| aveilleux | shahan, So it's trying to downgrade? Hmm. Did you manually upgrade your kernel? | 18:05 |
| shahan | the version its downloading, seems to be already installed | 18:05 |
| shahan | aveilleux: no..... in Maverick, 2.6.32-22 is default | 18:05 |

| sepplmaster | hi to all! i am looking for an easy to use backup tool for lubuntu. i wanted to use deja dup, but it has dependencies on nautilus. has anyone other suggestions for me? | 19:14 |
| * phillw waves to sepplmaster | 19:14 | |
| sepplmaster | phillw: i would wave back, if i knew how to | 19:15 |
| phillw | it's quite okay, you use "/me waves to <username>" without the quotes. | 19:16 |

| phillw | guys, I've suggested pybackpack, do you have a better idea? | 19:17 |

| bioterror | what kind of | 20:39 |
| Mohan_chml | !ask | bathtub_ | 20:39 |
| ubot2 | bathtub_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 20:39 |
| bathtub_ | im installing ubuntu on this laptop via live cd and i have had it saying "formatting swap space partition..." for the last 2 hours and nothing has happened | 20:40 |
| bioterror | yes | 20:40 |
| bioterror | swap is used if you're running out of RAM | 20:40 |
| bioterror | part of your hard drive works as a extension for RAM | 20:41 |
| bioterror | but is the installer stuck? | 20:41 |
| aveilleux | bathtub_, It seems like the installer has crashed... Have you tried canceling the install and starting again? | 20:41 |
| bathtub_ | im not sure.. and no i have not tried that | 20:41 |
| bathtub_ | is this any help... | 20:41 |
| bathtub_ | nevermind..i cant copy the text | 20:42 |
| bioterror | btw. did you check out the md5 checksum of the .iso -file before burning or doing a usb stick | 20:43 |
| aveilleux | bathtub_, you can hit printscrn and get a screenshot | 20:43 |
| aveilleux | bathtub_, then upload the image to something like http://imgur.com/ or another image host | 20:43 |
| bathtub_ | http://imgur.com/UmAz9.png | 20:45 |
| bathtub_ | thats what my installer has been like for hours | 20:45 |
| bioterror | for hours? :o | 20:46 |
| aveilleux | bathtub_, Yes, that means the installer crashed. Quit out of it and start the install over. | 20:46 |
| bathtub_ | erm...how exactly do i quit? | 20:46 |
| aveilleux | bathtub_, Open Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and run the command killall -9 ubuquity | 20:47 |
| aveilleux | er, ubiquity bathtub_ | 20:48 |
| bathtub_ | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ killall -9 ubuquity ubuquity: no process found ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ killall -9 ubiquity ubiquity(6096): Operation not permitted ubiquity: no process found ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ | 20:48 |
| bathtub_ | operation not permitted :| | 20:49 |
| bioterror | sudo killall | 20:49 |
| bathtub_ | i have had a usage list pop up | 20:50 |
| bathtub_ | installer wont die | 20:50 |
| bioterror | shutdown and start all over again | 20:51 |
| bathtub_ | okay then | 20:51 |
| Mohan_chml | Hmmmm! strange bug | 20:51 |
| Mohan_chml | bathtub_: try swap partition formatted before by using system-> Administration -> GParted | 20:52 |
| Mohan_chml | hxcjonnysniper: explain the issue with what you did before and what error you got | 20:56 |
| hxcjonnysniper | well i just have no wired network and i need help setting one up. | 20:57 |
| hxcjonnysniper | there is nothing on the forums about it. | 20:57 |
| bioterror | you need to connect to the Access point or you want to set up a ad-hoc? | 20:58 |
| hxcjonnysniper | no i need a wired connection. | 20:59 |
| bioterror | ahhh wired | 21:00 |
| bioterror | some how I read wireless :D | 21:00 |
| Mohan_chml | hxcjonnysniper: you are in 10.04? | 21:01 |
| hxcjonnysniper | haha. thats fine. the wireless works but not the wired connection. idk if i need to install some driver or something for ethernet. no im on 10.10 | 21:01 |
| bioterror | hxcjonnysniper, if you say in terminal "ifconfig -all" do you see eth0? | 21:01 |
| bioterror | nevermind the -all | 21:02 |
| hxcjonnysniper | sorry. i cleared it instead of copied. | 21:02 |
| hxcjonnysniper | can you say that again? | 21:02 |
| Mohan_chml | ifconfig | 21:02 |
| bioterror | if you say in terminal "ifconfig", can you see a eth0 | 21:02 |
| hxcjonnysniper | yeah | 21:03 |
| bioterror | can you say "sudo dhclient eth0" in terminal | 21:04 |
| hxcjonnysniper | okay i did that. | 21:05 |
| bioterror | did you get ip address? | 21:06 |
| kosaidpo | hello guys | 21:10 |
| kosaidpo | im on lubuntu and iwanna install gaia theme but idont kno how | 21:10 |
| AndrewMC | kosaidpo: ask in #lubuntu | 21:52 |
| kosaidpo | AndrewMC: i already did | 21:53 |
| bioterror | kosaidpo, clearlooks is soooo nice by default, that we dont have had a need to try anything else | 21:57 |
| bioterror | kosaidpo, do you have a url for the mother earth theme? | 21:57 |
| aveilleux | bioterror, clearlooks is Metacity, not LXDE :P | 21:58 |
| kosaidpo | bioterror: yeh but i have radiance now but i like to change the look time to time | 21:58 |
| kosaidpo | aveilleux: i dont think so theres a clearlook on lxde : ) | 21:59 |
| aveilleux | kosaidpo, LXDE uses GTK+? That's odd for a lightweight system. | 21:59 |
| kosaidpo | aveilleux: im not sure as in i dont kno but i do have it in | 22:00 |
| kosaidpo | let me make sure | 22:00 |
| kosaidpo | yeh theres a clearlook | 22:00 |
