| egossett | hi | 00:48 |
| egossett | i have a question | 00:48 |
| egossett | i am using kde now, and when i click "computer" then system settings then in the lost and found - all the items that were on the accessories in gnome are in the lost and found is this correct | 00:49 |
| Red-Raven | hey guys. | 00:50 |
| egossett | Hi Red-Raven | 00:50 |
| ChrisDruif | Hai Red-Raven | 00:50 |
| Red-Raven | any way in ubuntu to erase a pin drive with a virus on it besides dd, formating, or deleting in Gparted? | 00:52 |
| ChrisDruif | Red-Raven: Because all of the above don't work? | 00:52 |
| Red-Raven | yup. | 00:54 |
| ChrisDruif | I dunno, blows my mind <_> | 00:55 |
| Red-Raven | MS security essentials didn't work either. | 00:55 |
| egossett | I am using KDE and all the items that were on the accessories tab in gnome are in the lost and found is this correct? Can someone help with that | 00:57 |
| paultag | Howdy | 00:57 |
| paultag | OK, who has a bad issue that needs urgent help? | 00:58 |
| paultag | I lost scrollback and can't see joins / partz | 00:58 |
| paultag | Red-Raven: you first, it sounds fun | 00:58 |
| egossett | Hi | 00:59 |
| egossett | i could use help | 00:59 |
| paultag | Red-Raven: have you tried mkfs.ext* ? | 00:59 |
| paultag | egossett: sup, dude. let's hear it | 00:59 |
| === jacob_ is now known as jacob | ||
| egossett | I am using KDE and all the items that were on the accessories tab in gnome are in the lost and found is this correct? | 00:59 |
| paultag | Red-Raven: that rebuilds the fs without a repartition ( and is called from Gparted after a format ) | 00:59 |
| egossett | I am a girl - dude. SMILE | 00:59 |
| egossett | HAHAHAHA | 00:59 |
| paultag | egossett: dude is asexual | 00:59 |
| paultag | egossett: and I stand by that, damnit | 00:59 |
| egossett | kk | 01:00 |
| paultag | egossett: so, what's your issue? | 01:00 |
| ChrisDruif | Doede, you are a girl? :) | 01:00 |
| egossett | I appreciate your help | 01:00 |
| egossett | dude | 01:00 |
| egossett | hahaha | 01:00 |
| paultag | heh | 01:00 |
| egossett | I am using KDE and all the items that were on the accessories tab in gnome are in the lost and found is this correct? | 01:01 |
| paultag | hahaha sweet | 01:01 |
| ChrisDruif | gtg, ba-bye y'all....good luck with your problems :) | 01:01 |
| paultag | egossett: humm, not sure if that's stock or desgined behavior | 01:01 |
| paultag | later Commodore64 | 01:01 |
| egossett | thanks chris | 01:01 |
| paultag | er, chr- | 01:02 |
| paultag | he left, shucks | 01:02 |
| paultag | egossett: it might be an issue with the XDG entries, but I doubt it | 01:02 |
| paultag | somehow | 01:02 |
| paultag | egossett: was it always like this? | 01:02 |
| egossett | paultag: oh i don't know | 01:02 |
| paultag | egossett: can you give an example of some that are now misplaced? | 01:03 |
| egossett | paultag: yes i just installed kde | 01:03 |
| egossett | one minute | 01:03 |
| paultag | sure | 01:03 |
| egossett | desktop effects | 01:03 |
| egossett | joystick | 01:03 |
| egossett | login manager | 01:03 |
| egossett | splash scree | 01:03 |
| egossett | workspace | 01:03 |
| egossett | device actions | 01:03 |
| paultag | yeah | 01:03 |
| egossett | input actions | 01:04 |
| egossett | hardware | 01:04 |
| paultag | egossett: those are all GNOME menu entries. Where's `firefox' ? | 01:04 |
| egossett | firefox is under applications internet | 01:04 |
| paultag | great | 01:05 |
| egossett | as webbrowser | 01:05 |
| paultag | egossett: that's normal and expected behavior | 01:05 |
| egossett | but firefox icon | 01:05 |
| egossett | yes | 01:05 |
| paultag | egossett: as is the lost + found stuff | 01:05 |
| paultag | egossett: your system is clean and healty. If you don't like it, you can move entries in the editor | 01:05 |
| egossett | so no accessories on the kde button on the lower left on the bottom panel | 01:05 |
| egossett | o no | 01:06 |
| egossett | i thought this was an error. | 01:06 |
| paultag | egossett: KDE -> GNOME back and forth is a bit fisty | 01:06 |
| egossett | lost and found sounds like it is out of place | 01:06 |
| egossett | I am new user | 01:06 |
| egossett | so maybe not understanding where things really go | 01:06 |
| paultag | egossett: KDE guys like doing things by the books, and GNOME guys like doing cowboy coding -- so when KDE catches a GNOME'ism, it gets handled funny | 01:06 |
| egossett | lost sounds lost to me | 01:06 |
| egossett | i see | 01:07 |
| webjadmin | How often are Linux kernels released? | 01:07 |
| paultag | webjadmin: whenever linus gets off his ass | 01:07 |
| egossett | password and user account is in the lost and found section now also | 01:07 |
| paultag | egossett: it's OK. Those are GNOME tools that are in the menu "funny" | 01:07 |
| egossett | ok Thank you for assistance | 01:08 |
| paultag | egossett: you may move them without any trouble | 01:08 |
| paultag | egossett: sure, no problem | 01:08 |
| egossett | no | 01:08 |
| egossett | don't know enough to move things yet | 01:08 |
| egossett | as long as this is not a problem they can stay where kde put them | 01:08 |
| paultag | egossett: you know that KDE is not GNOME. That's more then enough | 01:08 |
| paultag | egossett: sure. No problems will come up | 01:08 |
| egossett | thank you so much DUDE. hahahaha | 01:09 |
| paultag | well, webjadmin must have not liked me | 01:09 |
| paultag | egossett: no problem, dude | 01:09 |
| egossett | well i don't know why - I like you | 01:09 |
| egossett | smile | 01:09 |
| JackyAlcine | paultag, I do like you, lol. I didn't notice that I was using my username. | 01:09 |
| JackyAlcine | I am webjadmin. | 01:09 |
| paultag | JackyAlcine: oh hahahaha | 01:09 |
| egossett | hahahha | 01:09 |
| JackyAlcine | :D | 01:09 |
| paultag | JackyAlcine: I don't see joins or parts | 01:09 |
| egossett | hi jacky | 01:09 |
| paultag | or nicks | 01:09 |
| JackyAlcine | Hey egossett | 01:10 |
| JackyAlcine | So if you ever see that nick somewhere, it's me. :D | 01:10 |
| JackyAlcine | double identities! | 01:10 |
| paultag | JackyAlcine: I have a bunch that I go "undercover" with | 01:10 |
| egossett | i had double entries the other day. but figure how i was doing that | 01:10 |
| egossett | lurkers | 01:10 |
| paultag | sometimes I just don't want to be bugged ;) | 01:10 |
| paultag | egossett: yup. | 01:11 |
| egossett | lurking | 01:11 |
| JackyAlcine | Same here. =/ but then people /whois me and >_< | 01:11 |
| paultag | JackyAlcine: haha | 01:11 |
| paultag | JackyAlcine: I keep different ns entries | 01:11 |
| egossett | i will prolly always show as egossett or evalyn | 01:11 |
| JackyAlcine | Speaking of entries, I'm trying to find a way to make Wikipedia entries available to a system as an object, sort of a knowledge base. | 01:12 |
| cprofitt | hello egossett | 01:12 |
| cprofitt | how are you doing? | 01:12 |
| egossett | i got to make lots of friends here - want to learn from everyone | 01:12 |
| paultag | points. | 01:12 |
| paultag | egossett: have you been here long? Sorry, I don't think we've met. | 01:12 |
| egossett | cprofitt: hi | 01:12 |
| paultag | I've been idle far too long | 01:12 |
| egossett | no fairly new | 01:12 |
| paultag | hey cprofitt | 01:12 |
| egossett | loaded Ubuntu 10.04 in december | 01:13 |
| JackyAlcine | Hey cprofitt! | 01:13 |
| egossett | BUT | 01:13 |
| egossett | i have been fiddling with Ubuntu for well over 2 years | 01:13 |
| cprofitt | egossett: is going to be stellar folks... | 01:13 |
| egossett | now I feel i got a good set up | 01:13 |
| egossett | thanks for confidence cprofitt | 01:13 |
| egossett | and I will keep it on this Dell Inspiron | 01:14 |
| paultag | Red-Raven left | 01:14 |
| paultag | shame | 01:14 |
| paultag | wonder if he solved his issue | 01:14 |
| cprofitt | paultag: do you want to take on RedSing; if not I would be willing as they are in my loco | 01:14 |
| egossett | stuck with windows on two other home computers for now. I don't like to use them now tho | 01:14 |
| paultag | cprofitt: I'm overloaded. I've got Cheri703 fulltime and JackyAlcine part-time/ | 01:14 |
| cprofitt | I may get to convert my father to Linux in the next 2-4 weeks | 01:14 |
| cprofitt | Hey now... what are you doing with JackyAlcine? | 01:15 |
| cprofitt | :-) | 01:15 |
| JackyAlcine | :D | 01:15 |
| cprofitt | JackyAlcine is cheating on me, heh? | 01:15 |
| egossett | cprofitt: good for you | 01:15 |
| paultag | cprofitt: I'm giving him little programming tidbits to munch on | 01:15 |
| JackyAlcine | Lol, not all the time! | 01:15 |
| paultag | cprofitt: in all fairness I had him first | 01:15 |
| paultag | cprofitt: so NYAH! | 01:15 |
| JackyAlcine | Lol. | 01:15 |
| egossett | LOL | 01:15 |
| * JackyAlcine watches and claps. | 01:15 | |
| egossett | and egossett is cheesing | 01:16 |
| cprofitt | I see paultag | 01:16 |
| paultag | egossett: cheesing? You sound like a young-un. South Park FTW | 01:16 |
| paultag | cprofitt: I'm just bullshitting. We talk now and again :) | 01:16 |
| cprofitt | lol | 01:17 |
| egossett | cprofitt: you know i am a yungin | 01:17 |
| cprofitt | I know paultag | 01:17 |
| cprofitt | just was not sure how to respond... | 01:17 |
| cprofitt | JackyAlcine could benefit from some of your assistance anyway | 01:17 |
| paultag | cprofitt: hahaha, good. I was hopeing you knew I was not laying claim | 01:17 |
| egossett | it's all good | 01:17 |
| paultag | hoping * | 01:17 |
| cprofitt | the programming stuff is a bit beyond me at this point | 01:17 |
| paultag | JackyAlcine: have you figured out the ( n & ( n -1 ) ) yet ? | 01:17 |
| JackyAlcine | I hope paultag's ready for some AI! | 01:17 |
| cprofitt | heck... in reality the padawan belong to all of us | 01:17 |
| paultag | JackyAlcine: dude, I rocks | 01:17 |
| paultag | cprofitt: right? | 01:17 |
| JackyAlcine | NOOO, cprofitt, he's being mean! lol | 01:17 |
| egossett | cprofitt: and paultag: yes lots of deep stuff here, | 01:18 |
| cprofitt | JackyAlcine: I would have just made you do the first 33 problems at ProjectEuler | 01:18 |
| paultag | ouch! | 01:18 |
| * JackyAlcine blows up into ashes. | 01:18 | |
| egossett | LOL | 01:18 |
| egossett | puff | 01:18 |
| paultag | I've not even had that much time ;) | 01:18 |
| cprofitt | c'mon... those are not that hard... I did not say you had to do them in Machine Language | 01:18 |
| paultag | cprofitt: well where's the fun in that? | 01:19 |
| cprofitt | though we really should move this to -team | 01:19 |
| paultag | cprofitt: truf | 01:19 |
| cprofitt | as this is our support channel | 01:19 |
| egossett | cprofitt: i have gpg key, linux id, and ubuntu id now | 01:19 |
| cprofitt | my mistaked for going so far in here | 01:19 |
| * JackyAlcine rises from ashes, and burns even brighter. | 01:19 | |
| egossett | JackyAlcine: phoenix | 01:19 |
| paultag | cprofitt: it's cool, I'm trying to stay on duty ( hahaha doodie ) for a while | 01:19 |
| cprofitt | lol | 01:19 |
| cprofitt | paultag: I am re-writing the backup wiki page | 01:20 |
| JackyAlcine | egossett: Yup, I love them. If I ever create anything epic, I'll call it the Phoenix. | 01:20 |
| paultag | cprofitt: yeah? | 01:20 |
| cprofitt | which is, from my point of view... well... not good | 01:20 |
| Red-Raven | hey sorry. missed anything since last time i posted. | 01:20 |
| paultag | JackyAlcine: well you need to make a shitty one first, then get a 2.0 | 01:20 |
| paultag | Red-Raven: aww! | 01:20 |
| paultag | Red-Raven: I gave you a 2 page response and you missed it | 01:20 |
| cprofitt | the list synchronization, creating an archive and drive imaging as types of backup | 01:20 |
| paultag | Red-Raven: kidding. One line. Have you checked mkfs.ext* ? | 01:20 |
| egossett | Red-Raven: we are just shooting the breeze | 01:20 |
| Red-Raven | press ^? | 01:20 |
| egossett | cprofitt: i did try irssi and felt it was to advanced for me, - need to remember commands | 01:21 |
| paultag | 00:59 <+paultag> Red-Raven: have you tried mkfs.ext* ? | 01:21 |
| paultag | 00:59 <+paultag> Red-Raven: that rebuilds the fs without a repartition ( and is called from Gparted after a format ) | 01:21 |
| paultag | Red-Raven: we have public logs online as well ( if no one is around and you need to check ) | 01:21 |
| egossett | cprofitt: but now that i have kde i am using quassel irc which i like better than the gnome xchat | 01:22 |
| paultag | Red-Raven: or if your disk is in vfat format, mkfs.vfat will work well too | 01:22 |
| paultag | Red-Raven: just look up the mkfs.* family, really | 01:22 |
| cprofitt | egossett: cool | 01:22 |
| cprofitt | I only learned irssi because I wanted a terminal based chat | 01:22 |
| paultag | irssi++; | 01:22 |
| cprofitt | in case I had to remote in to a screen session | 01:22 |
| cprofitt | or had a low power machine | 01:22 |
| egossett | ok | 01:22 |
| egossett | i tried it just to see the difference | 01:23 |
| Red-Raven | ik. | 01:23 |
| Red-Raven | to see if its in there? | 01:23 |
| egossett | i need the assistance for now, maybe later i will remember commands | 01:23 |
| cprofitt | egossett: I started with xchat | 01:23 |
| paultag | Red-Raven: what format is your disk in? | 01:23 |
| paultag | cprofitt: egossett, kicking you to -team while I help with Red-Raven here | 01:23 |
| paultag | if you don't mind | 01:24 |
| paultag | it'll be 4 minutes | 01:24 |
| egossett | cprofitt: yes - but i do like the kde interface better | 01:24 |
| egossett | ok | 01:24 |
| egossett | np | 01:24 |
| egossett | i will just read along see if i learn something here | 01:24 |
| paultag | Red-Raven: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb | 01:24 |
| paultag | Red-Raven: so I can see a list of partitions, and what format they are in, if you don't mind | 01:24 |
| cprofitt | A lot of people like KDE better... it is, to me, more like both Windows and OS X | 01:25 |
| paultag | again, providing sdb is your flash drive | 01:25 |
| JackyAlcine | cprofitt: Maybe it's because I started with GNOME, but I can't ever get accustomed to KDE, it's a bit too much for moi. | 01:25 |
| egossett | cprofitt: yes it is like windows and I know that is why i like it. but i need it so i can learn more. | 01:25 |
| drop_bear | can anyone give me a hand connecting a printer/scanner to my computer? | 01:26 |
| paultag | drop_bear: I might need to run in a second, but I can give 2-mintue help | 01:26 |
| egossett | cprofitt: it has been so long since i did commands in commodore and dos. will take some time to get use to that again | 01:26 |
| paultag | drop_bear: what make and model? | 01:26 |
| paultag | drop_bear: also, sweet /nick | 01:26 |
| drop_bear | brother dcp165c | 01:26 |
| cprofitt | egossett: I understand | 01:27 |
| paultag | I love the drop_bear ssh server | 01:27 |
| drop_bear | what's that? | 01:27 |
| paultag | drop_bear: that should be plug and play. Is it not working OTB? | 01:27 |
| paultag | drop_bear: nevermind | 01:27 |
| drop_bear | not working | 01:27 |
| cprofitt | JackyAlcine and egossett we have some folks seeking help in here... lets take side chatter to -team | 01:27 |
| drop_bear | it comes up with a list of drivers for brother computers but it's not one of them | 01:27 |
| drop_bear | I am on 10.10 | 01:27 |
| egossett | kk | 01:28 |
| paultag | drop_bear: humm. Can you paste `tail /var/log/messages' when you plug it in? | 01:28 |
| drop_bear | yeah, but it is quite a few lines | 01:28 |
| JackyAlcine | drop_bear: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 01:29 |

| paultag | drop_bear: congrats!!!!!! | 01:31 |
| drop_bear | I DID IT!!! | 01:31 |
| paultag | drop_bear: you're the *first* person, in 4 years, who's come in here with an issue that is horrid! | 01:31 |
| paultag | drop_bear: this is awesome. Time to file some bug reports! | 01:31 |
| paultag | drop_bear: Your driver totally bombed your kernel. It's a wonder your system is not crashing | 01:32 |
| drop_bear | sorry what's going on? | 01:32 |
| paultag | drop_bear: you know when you're in deep deep sleep | 01:32 |
| drop_bear | oh... could it be the flux capacitor? | 01:32 |
| paultag | drop_bear: and you're just about to make out with the hot chick? | 01:32 |
| drop_bear | go on | 01:32 |
| paultag | drop_bear: and then some ass wakes you up with water? | 01:32 |
| paultag | drop_bear: that's what's going on. | 01:32 |
| drop_bear | YEAH... I LIKE WHERE THIS IS GOING | 01:32 |
| drop_bear | oh | 01:32 |
| paultag | drop_bear: So, if you don't mind, please head to #ubuntu-kernel and show them this, they can help you from here on out | 01:33 |
| paultag | drop_bear: hell yeah. High five! | 01:33 |
| drop_bear | okay | 01:33 |
| paultag | drop_bear: really, well done, dude. Never seen that before, in my 10 years of using Linux | 01:33 |
| drop_bear | what actually happened? | 01:34 |
| drop_bear | I'm a little lost | 01:34 |
| paultag | drop_bear: it's something called a "Segfault" or "Segmentation fault" | 01:34 |
| paultag | drop_bear: it's when the bit of code tries to use a pointer that's outside it's segment | 01:34 |
| paultag | drop_bear: it's very bad and usually is the programmer's fault. Hell. It's always the programmer's fault | 01:34 |
| drop_bear | oh | 01:35 |
| paultag | drop_bear: so, it's thinking all is well, attempts to use invalid memory and bombs out hard | 01:35 |
| drop_bear | well I am going to head on over to the kernal channell and let them know all about it | 01:35 |
| paultag | drop_bear: moment | 01:35 |
| paultag | drop_bear: yeah, please do | 01:35 |
| paultag | drop_bear: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault | 01:35 |
| paultag | It's really a wonder the kernel is still online | 01:36 |
| drop_bear | oh | 01:37 |
| drop_bear | it sounds bad | 01:37 |
| paultag | drop_bear: it is :) | 01:37 |
| paultag | drop_bear: but the good news is, it's 0% your faulkt | 01:37 |
| drop_bear | is my computer going to fall over now? | 01:37 |
| paultag | fault * | 01:37 |
| paultag | drop_bear: nah. It'll live | 01:37 |
| paultag | drop_bear: fat chance of using the print driver, though | 01:38 |
| drop_bear | oh | 01:38 |
| drop_bear | ever? | 01:38 |
| paultag | drop_bear: Oh no, not at all. It might be a versioned issue | 01:38 |
| drop_bear | should I throw away my printer... or drop it in the river or something? | 01:38 |
| paultag | drop_bear: that's why I'm suggesting a trip to kerenl, they might be able to find the error | 01:38 |
| drop_bear | I have posted up there already | 01:38 |
| paultag | drop_bear: rock on, mang. You should be able to get it to work, but might take some work | 01:39 |
| drop_bear | this is what I said | 01:39 |
| drop_bear | hello. I was just at ubuntu beginners with a printer problem and was told to run this command "tail /var/log/messages" and paste the results which can be found here http://paste.ubuntu.com/554930/ they said that I have a segmentation fault and that I should head here straight away and let you guys know.... so here I am | 01:39 |
| paultag | drop_bear: rox on. Sec. | 01:39 |
| drop_bear | does that sound appropriate | 01:39 |
| drop_bear | cool | 01:39 |
| drop_bear | I feel it necessary at this point to articulate the fact that I am a computer quambi | 01:40 |
| paultag | drop_bear: quambi ? | 01:41 |
| paultag | BRB | 01:41 |
| drop_bear | like spastic but worse | 01:41 |
| drop_bear | much, much worse | 01:41 |
| drop_bear | gotta run... I will be back soon | 01:44 |
| paultag | back | 01:46 |
| paultag | drop_bear: rock on dude | 01:46 |

| techmik_laptop | last night i had a problem that caused me to need to format and reinstall ubuntu 10.10, and currently 11.04 | 02:11 |

| Red-Raven | hey. | 02:56 |
| Red-Raven | paultag, you know how you told me to look for mkfs.etx? well the only files on the USB are ones that are supposed to be there. like music and stuff. there are no suspicious files at all. | 02:57 |
| Red-Raven | does backtrack or another OS have any special tools for this sort of thing? | 03:03 |
| ddecator | what sort of thing? | 03:05 |
| Red-Raven | wiping a USB that refuses to be wiped with Gparted, dd, or MS security essentials (only free one i could find), just because a stupid virus has write protected it to keep itself safe. | 03:07 |
| harrisonk | Red-Raven: have you tried DBAN | 03:08 |
| Red-Raven | no. what is it? | 03:08 |
| harrisonk | Red-Raven: it's a mass drive wiper | 03:08 |
| harrisonk | I will get a link | 03:08 |
| Red-Raven | thx! | 03:09 |
| harrisonk | http://www.dban.org/ | 03:09 |
| harrisonk | any drives connected to a computer with the DBAN cd will be PERMANTLY erased | 03:09 |
| harrisonk | (well the data on them | 03:10 |
| harrisonk | ) | 03:10 |
| Red-Raven | um, shouldn't i fear for my HDD in that case? | 03:10 |
| harrisonk | have you ever opened up a computer? | 03:10 |
| harrisonk | just unplug the hdd | 03:11 |
| Red-Raven | its a laptop. any then i can't exactly run without it. | 03:11 |
| harrisonk | and to answer your question unless you start in interactiv mode your hdd will be wiped | 03:11 |
| harrisonk | o just MAKE SURE that you start in the interagtiv mode | 03:12 |
| harrisonk | then you can select witch drives to erace | 03:13 |
| harrisonk | Red-Raven: you getting all this? | 03:15 |
| Red-Raven | is it a distro? | 03:15 |
| harrisonk | kinda | 03:15 |
| harrisonk | kinda-sorta-waybe-almost | 03:16 |
| harrisonk | *maybe | 03:16 |
| Red-Raven | 1st: don't have a blank disk 2nd: i'd rather not risk wiping my HD if i don't know what im doing. | 03:17 |
| harrisonk | Red-Raven: well at least you know your last resort | 03:20 |
| Red-Raven | yup. actually my last resort is a cinder block and gravity. that should remove this virus/ | 03:21 |
| Red-Raven | .* | 03:21 |
| harrisonk | and destroy the USB drive | 03:21 |
| harrisonk | do DBAN first | 03:22 |
| Red-Raven | which is why its my last resort | 03:22 |
| harrisonk | or find a friend who can | 03:22 |
| harrisonk | goodnight | 03:23 |
| Red-Raven | night. | 03:25 |

| Flam | Hi I'm having trouble installing SSH with public keys for rsync | 05:46 |
| Flam | I ran "sudo ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f /home/user/cron/a-rsync-key" on Ubuntu 10.04 and got the .pub file and the private key, then I did "sudo cat a-rsync-key.pub >>.ssh/authorized_keys" on the remote host | 05:49 |
| Flam | and now I'm stumped :/ | 05:49 |
| Flam | Where do I put the private key on the localhost? | 05:49 |
| Flam | i mean the source machine* | 05:53 |
| egossett | Flam: Do you mean the pgp key for launchpad | 05:53 |
| Flam | nope, it's for rsync. | 05:54 |
| egossett | ok | 05:55 |
| Flam | I'm trying to ssh to my server without a password | 05:55 |
| egossett | sorry i don't know an answer for that. | 05:56 |
| Flam | No problem, I guess I'll ask in #ubuntu :) | 05:56 |
| kuttans | i have a samsung corby mobile. Kubuntu identify it as a imaging device always and sometime shows it as modem too. The problem the modem deduction is not stable all the time, sometimes it do and sometimes not. Im using this mobile as a modem which is having a 3g connection.Kppp is also not useful as it says can not open modem, where as the modem is loaded in /dev/ttyACM0 and 1 as well. wvdialconf is returning errorso how to go about from here | 06:14 |
| kuttans | to make it more stable and use it without intermittancy | 06:14 |
| Daniel0108 | hi :) | 06:17 |
| bioterror | sowwy, I use gnome's network-manager and it works perfectly with my mobile phone | 06:18 |
| bioterror | if it doesnt, I reboot and works | 06:18 |
| Daniel0108 | kuttans, plug in your phone and reboot... sometimes that works ;) | 06:18 |
| bioterror | rather unplug it | 06:19 |
| bioterror | wait till you're logged in then plug it ;) | 06:19 |
| kuttans | Daniel0108: i tried almost umpteen time that. The problem is it will detect sometimes and wont the other time. and suddenly one fine day i can see it in the knetworkmanager | 06:20 |
| Daniel0108 | hmm.. I use gnome-network-manager too and it works... | 06:21 |
| kuttans | yeah it too works only at times Daniel0108 | 06:22 |
| Daniel0108 | oh | 06:22 |
| kuttans | not always.... the problem is stability , i.e why it does recognise sometimes and othertimes not | 06:22 |
| Daniel0108 | is there a software for linux, for your mobile phone? | 06:23 |
| Daniel0108 | or just windows? | 06:23 |
| kuttans | its a samsung corby and it dont have any linux driver at all | 06:24 |
| kuttans | these vendors are morons that they dont give any driver for mac and linux | 06:24 |
| kuttans | atleast not in india.... | 06:24 |
| bioterror | kuttans, linux is not a serious OS yet ;) | 06:27 |
| bioterror | it's something what glue sniffers and people with longhair uses | 06:27 |
| kuttans | may be bioterror but i like this | 06:27 |
| kuttans | atleast i dont get the guilty feeling of using any kinda pirated software | 06:28 |
| kuttans | if its not a serious OS then i guess redhat must be a drowning ship right? | 06:29 |
| yax51 | does anyone know what happened to the system tools menu in maverick | 06:29 |
| Daniel0108 | bioterror, linux is serious, because sony uses it for play station :) But nobody knows that, lol :P | 06:30 |
| bioterror | Daniel0108, sony dropped support for it few updates ago? | 06:31 |
| Daniel0108 | bioterror, the PlayStation OS uses the linux kernel ;) | 06:32 |
| pleia2 | so does my tv, and my cellphone and my ebook reader | 06:32 |
| kuttans | bioterror let me tell you one thing, this world is full of business men, they just manipulate everything which comes on their way | 06:33 |
| bioterror | pleia2, soon you have MeeGo in your car ;) | 06:33 |
| kuttans | so its all about how google, microsoft and oracle like corp want it and their co ords with intel and amd | 06:33 |
| kuttans | they are trying to rob those dreams of the scientists who invented many things for good | 06:34 |
| bioterror | kuttans, did you know that we live in a world which is run by capitalism | 06:34 |
| Daniel0108 | kuttans, if ubuntu would advertise at worldwide TV, it would become famous too ;) | 06:34 |
| kuttans | not exactly. am trying to learn a lot | 06:35 |
| Daniel0108 | bioterror, we should talk at #ubuntu-beginners-team, this is support channel ;) | 06:36 |
| kuttans | not exactly Daniel....there comes the competition, and once you know you will be getting 10$ then you wont mind spending 3 out of it for ads. but if you know that its gonna be a social service then you cant bcoz you wont even have a penny | 06:36 |
| kuttans | yeah sure daniel its not a philosphy room | 06:36 |
| Daniel0108 | kuttans, go to #ubuntu-beginners-team ;) | 06:37 |
| kuttans | k anyways m not here for that purpose, but my prob is not gettng solved for past a month | 06:38 |
| kuttans | i will come back again to the rooms when there is enough crowd | 06:38 |
| kuttans | bye | 06:38 |
| Daniel0108 | drivers are always the problem... | 06:39 |
| yax51 | any one know what happend to the system tools menu in maverick? | 06:48 |
| bioterror | someone with ubuntu should answer, i'm using lubuntu ;) | 06:50 |
| yax51 | does anyone know what happened to the system tools menu in maverick? | 07:45 |
| bioterror | you tell us what happened | 07:45 |
| bioterror | your question doesnt enlight us | 07:45 |
| bioterror | could you be please more specific | 07:45 |
| yax51 | well after i installed maverick there was no system tools menu..... | 07:45 |
| yax51 | I was wondering if there was a way to get it added, or if I need to do something else | 07:46 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tooks | 07:46 |
| bioterror | stools | 07:46 |
| bioterror | asdasd tools | 07:46 |
| bioterror | fingers are faster than my brains | 07:46 |
| hobgoblin | yax51: have you installed anythign you expect to see in that menu? | 07:47 |
| hobgoblin | it's not there by default - turns up if you install something that lives there | 07:47 |
| yax51 | hogoblin: yes I installed a CPU temp monitor that is suppose to live there, but there is no menu.... | 07:48 |
| hobgoblin | if you have then right click on the menu - edit menu's - turn it on | 07:48 |
| geirha | yax51: It could be the menu location of that program changed from lucid to maverick | 07:49 |
| yax51 | geirha: but according the synaptic package monitor, thats where it is....but I got it now.....thanks | 07:51 |
| yax51 | thanks! | 07:52 |
| geirha | Ah, so it was hidden? | 07:52 |
| yax51 | yeah....thanks hobgoblin, and geirha!! | 07:53 |
| hobgoblin | welcome | 07:55 |
| hobgoblin | hi nit-wit | 07:57 |
| nit-wit | hobgoblin, how are you | 07:58 |
| hobgoblin | fed up with waiting for the forum to post lol | 07:58 |

| === oCean_ is now known as oCean | ||
| MrAnthrope | Hey guys. I just built a new box. Having a CPU issue. I'm not sure what's going on or where to begin. I asked in ##hardware and they told me to recompile my kernel. But I can't even compile Wine so that's not gunna happen. | 08:28 |
| MrAnthrope | My CPU basically turns off for a second. Everything goes down to 0% usage. And then it goes back up to normal. I mostly notice when I'm playing games. | 08:29 |
| bioterror | sounds weird | 08:30 |
| bioterror | totally weird | 08:30 |
| MrAnthrope | It's totally weird :( | 08:30 |
| MrAnthrope | My CPU seems fine unless usage reaches 100%. | 08:31 |
| MrAnthrope | I *think* that's when it 'hiccups'. | 08:31 |
| MrAnthrope | It never does it while I'm watching videos or something that doesn't take 100%, but Dungeons and Dragons Online takes like 70-90% | 08:32 |
| MrAnthrope | Unless it's out of focus and then it takes like 10%. And it doesn't hiccup. | 08:33 |
| bioterror | it's not overclocked+ | 08:35 |
| bioterror | ? | 08:35 |
| MrAnthrope | No. | 08:35 |
| MrAnthrope | But it has power profiles. | 08:35 |
| MrAnthrope | The CPU drops out no matter what power profile I have it set on. | 08:36 |
| MrAnthrope | That was my first guess. I've never had a CPU that could underlock itself so I just set it to constant 2.53GHz. | 08:36 |
| MrAnthrope | s/underlock/underclock | 08:40 |
| MrAnthrope | I guess I'll post on the forums. No one has any idea what's happening. | 08:44 |
| hobgoblin | MrAnthrope: what did ##hardware say about why you need to compile the kernel? | 08:46 |
| MrAnthrope | I dunno. i asked what made them think it was a kernel issue and they asked me about my GPU and PSU. | 08:46 |
| MrAnthrope | and then it kinda went off topic so I'm thinking they don't have a clue. | 08:47 |
| hobgoblin | mmm - all voodoo to me | 08:47 |
| hobgoblin | there are some wiki pages about it - you want the links? but it might be worth doing a search for your cpu | 08:48 |
| MrAnthrope | about CPU failure? | 08:52 |
| MrAnthrope | And I'm not really sure what to call what it's doing to do a search. I call it hiccups. | 08:53 |
| MrAnthrope | because it's random and scares me. | 08:53 |
| MrAnthrope | like hiccups. | 08:53 |
| MrAnthrope | cuts out? bottoms out? turns off? | 08:53 |
| bioterror | MrAnthrope, my cpu goes to 800MHz and in need boots it up to 2.7GHz | 08:57 |
| bioterror | watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo | 08:57 |
| bioterror | you can use that line in terminal ;) | 08:57 |
| MrAnthrope | I have four settings from 1.6 to 2.5 and I can also set it to On Demand and it will decide what I need. | 08:58 |
| hobgoblin | MrAnthrope: I meant just search for the cpu - not anything else - surprising what it might turn up - what is it? | 08:58 |
| bioterror | MrAnthrope, on demand is best | 08:59 |
| bioterror | MrAnthrope, I suggest to use it | 08:59 |
| MrAnthrope | The MHz dosen't change during the hiccups. | 09:00 |
| MrAnthrope | intel E7200 | 09:00 |
| MrAnthrope | doesn't* | 09:00 |
| bioterror | put your computer to run memtest86+ for next night ;) | 09:01 |
| MrAnthrope | ok. Thanks for your help :) | 09:02 |
| MrAnthrope | http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=35348 | 09:11 |
| MrAnthrope | This says the "instruction set" for my CPU is 64 bit? | 09:11 |
| MrAnthrope | Does that mean I have to run a 64 bit os? | 09:12 |
| bioterror | your cpu is 64bit | 09:12 |
| bioterror | and it would be suggested to run 64bit OS if you're having more than 3GB of RAM and you want most performance out of the CPU | 09:13 |
| MrAnthrope | I'm running 32 bit. And I have 4 gigs. But it only shows 3.2 gigs in the system monitor. | 09:16 |
| bioterror | yeah | 09:16 |
| bioterror | you can try pae-kernel | 09:16 |
| bioterror | linux-generic-pae - Complete Generic Linux kernel | 09:16 |
| tdn | I have 4 GB RAM in my T61p laptop, but 'free' is only showing 3 GB (http://paste.adora.dk/P1897.txt). I have checked memtest86 says I have 4 GB. How do I make more RAM available for my system? | 09:17 |
| bioterror | tdn, install pae-kernel or 64bit system | 09:17 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE | 09:18 |
| MrAnthrope | How do I run that memtest thingy? | 09:18 |
| hobgoblin | MrAnthrope: you can run it from the boot menu | 09:22 |
| hobgoblin | grub menu | 09:22 |
| MrAnthrope | how do I get there? | 09:23 |
| hobgoblin | when you boot do you get a menu to choose OS? | 09:28 |
| MrAnthrope | No. | 09:28 |
| hobgoblin | MrAnthrope: shift when it's booting should bring it up | 09:29 |
| MrAnthrope | k. thanks. | 09:30 |

| yax51 | ok so I am trying to play a DVD in maverick, in runs and plays, but the image is shaky.... | 10:16 |
| yax51 | any ideas on how to fix it so it doesn't keep bouncing up and down..... | 10:17 |

| yax51 | ChrisDruif: I have the Nvidia GE force 9800 graphics card, not sure about codec... | 10:20 |
| yax51 | how do I check codecs? | 10:21 |
| ChrisDruif | You can atleast check if you've got the restricted extras installed...might not be as open as some like, but does make a more workable machine atm :) | 10:23 |

| ChrisDruif | OMG....you did an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10? | 10:26 |
| yax51 | yeah | 10:28 |
| yax51 | oh and with the resricted extras I got this: E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 10:29 |
| yax51 | E: Unable to lock the download directory | 10:29 |
| ChrisDruif | How much Ubuntu likes to claim that upgrade should be a zilch, I've had numerous problems after varies upgrades... | 10:29 |
| ChrisDruif | (Have you got an other app also open that manages packages? Term process or Ubuntu Software Center?) | 10:30 |
| yax51 | this has been the most major issue I've faced, and it's going now.... | 10:31 |
| ChrisDruif | yax51: See my previous question :) | 10:37 |
| yax51 | yes I did an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, and I installed the extras, but its still bouncy :( | 10:39 |
| kuttans | hii everybody | 10:40 |
| yax51 | I wonder if it's movie player..... | 10:40 |

| kuttans | errorso how to go about from here to make it more stable and use it without intermittancy | 10:41 |
| ChrisDruif | I would suggest that you do a fresh install (first back up all files ofc) and see if that solves anything....with me it solved lots of problems :) | 10:42 |
| yax51 | ok I think its just movie player...VLC works good...thanks! | 10:47 |

| akshatj | drop_bear: you have to install an extension, I think | 14:00 |
| drop_bear | oh okay | 14:00 |
| drop_bear | do you know how to do that? | 14:01 |
| ChrisDruif1 | Edit a pdf with openoffice? Is/was that even possible? | 14:01 |
| drop_bear | I don't know | 14:02 |
| akshatj | ChrisDruif1: well, I never tried it myself | 14:02 |
| ChrisDruif1 | Me neither... | 14:02 |

| ChrisDruif1 | drop_bear: It does seem to allow it with this extension (http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport) haven't tried it thou... | 14:06 |
| akshatj | ChrisDruif1: yeah, that the one | 14:06 |

| Bipul` | ChrisDruif1, yes | 14:12 |
| ChrisDruif1 | What is that? :) | 14:12 |
| Bipul` | it is used to make a irc bots | 14:12 |
| drop_bear | so I downloaded the file which is a .oxt... what do I do with it then? | 14:13 |
| akshatj | drop_bear: drag it into an openoffice window | 14:13 |
| ChrisDruif1 | Open it with or from within OpenOffice.org? | 14:16 |
| drop_bear | tried that and it doesn't do anything | 14:16 |
| drop_bear | will try that | 14:16 |
| akshatj | drop_bear: I just dragged it into the window and an installation wizard came up | 14:20 |
| drop_bear | extension manager says that it has been put on there... I just can't seem to be able to use it | 14:20 |
| drop_bear | should there be an "import PDF" button or something? | 14:20 |
| ChrisDruif1 | drop_bear: Maybe restart? Maybe it's not with the visible buttons? | 14:22 |
| drop_bear | will try that | 14:22 |
| akshatj | drop_bear: just open a PDF now | 14:22 |
| drop_bear | yep | 14:23 |
| === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett | ||
| drop_bear | just got "openoffice.org-pdfimport" and it works great | 14:30 |

| ChrisDruif1 | So it works? :) | 14:34 |
| drop_bear | yep... really well | 14:35 |

| techmik_laptop | I know this SAYS fedora forums, but it works on ubuntu..... or, at least, it DID until a fresh format and install yesterday..... now it wont work.....any ideas out there? http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=244215 | 16:54 |
| JackyAlcine | techmik_laptop: I think I remember you from yesterday; have you tried downgrading? It's a better idea to wait until Natty's officially released, due to the fact that more people'll be accustomed to it. | 17:00 |
| techmik_laptop | i'm on 10.10 atm | 17:00 |
| techmik_laptop | wiped and started over AGAIN last nite | 17:01 |
| JackyAlcine | And it isn't working? Hm. Hold on. | 17:01 |
| techmik_laptop | i THINK, the problem started with one of the updates since thhe kernel went to 2.6.35-25 from -35-24 | 17:01 |
| JackyAlcine | That's most likely it, I was going to ask, techmik_laptop. | 17:02 |
| techmik_laptop | so if i could just bring linux to where "apt-get update/upgrade" was, i'd be good =( | 17:02 |
| JackyAlcine | That's a development release of the Linux kernel (as it is, every odd # is usually a development release) | 17:03 |
| JackyAlcine | Like Ubuntu has LTE and mid versions. | 17:03 |
| techmik_laptop | now, i gotta wait til someone MUCH smarter than me runs intoo the problem and fixes it... | 17:03 |
| techmik_laptop | hmmm | 17:03 |
| JackyAlcine | And you might be able to downgrade the kernel by using the LiveCD and installing the older kernel there and just apply the patch. | 17:03 |
| techmik_laptop | what if i tried 10.04? | 17:04 |
| techmik_laptop | lol | 17:04 |
| * JackyAlcine happened to me with aircrack-ng | 17:04 | |
| JackyAlcine | techmik_laptop: Chances are it'd upgrade the kernel again. | 17:04 |
| techmik_laptop | so start over, but DON'T update/upgrade this time.... | 17:04 |
| JackyAlcine | Don't have to fully; do you have a LiveCD handy? | 17:05 |
| techmik_laptop | yup | 17:05 |
| techmik_laptop | usb stiick | 17:05 |
| JackyAlcine | Is it a CD or a USB? | 17:06 |
| JackyAlcine | >_< Hmm. I'm not sure if it'd work with a USB.. | 17:06 |
| techmik_laptop | ok, i can burn a disk | 17:06 |
| JackyAlcine | My idea was to add the CD as a repo source (via sudo apt-cdrom) | 17:06 |
| techmik_laptop | ah | 17:06 |
| techmik_laptop | i see | 17:06 |

| kristian-aalborg | would it be unadvisable to remove libuniconf4.6? | 19:13 |
| Red-Raven | ehy. still working on this stupid pin drive. | 19:19 |
| Red-Raven | hey* | 19:19 |
| bioterror | what's so hard with it | 19:22 |
| Red-Raven | can't format/delete it. Gparted, dd command, and MS security Essentials can't do it. | 19:23 |
| bioterror | sounds broken then | 19:24 |
| Red-Raven | there's got to be some way to clear it. weird thing is, i think its a virus that did it, but i can't find the virus file anywhere on it | 19:25 |
| kristian-aalborg | Red-Raven: did you hear about that super-creepy usb virus? | 19:26 |
| Red-Raven | um, i know that the virus im thinking of is called Nortel. | 19:26 |
| kristian-aalborg | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet | 19:28 |
| kristian-aalborg | I've had usb pens act weird and then magically work again | 19:28 |
| Red-Raven | this one hasn't done that.maybe its a magical computer unicorn. can i download it? | 19:30 |
| kristian-aalborg | sure, it's in repos | 19:31 |
| kristian-aalborg | ;) | 19:31 |
| kristian-aalborg | I think I did it with gparted... I'm trying to find a guide for the procedure | 19:32 |
| kristian-aalborg | sorry, can't find it... best I can say is: try formatting it a few times in gparted with different filesystems | 19:38 |
| JackyAlcine | Red-Raven: you tried clearing the MBR? | 20:06 |
| JackyAlcine | Or even zeroing out the drive? | 20:06 |
| techmik67 | i'm thinking this is bad... on boot... "fatal modprobe: Could not load /lib/modules/linux-2.6.35-24-generic/modules.dep"....... than it completes booting normally... | 21:04 |
| techmik67 | full message is | 21:08 |
| techmik67 | modprobe: Fatal: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/modules.dep: No such file or directory | 21:08 |
| techmik67 | and then it boots | 21:09 |
| bodhizazen | techmik67: guess it is not as fatal as it sounds, lol | 21:09 |
| bodhizazen | sudo touch /lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/modules.dep | 21:10 |
| techmik67 | lol | 21:10 |
| techmik67 | thx | 21:10 |
| techmik67 | all of a sudden my super work around i found to get my 5Ghz usb network adapter going just stopped.... VERY frustrating as a n00b to try to fix | 21:12 |
| Lopson | Hello there | 21:38 |
| aveilleux | hello Lopson | 21:38 |
| Lopson | is there any ubuntu master willing to help me out? | 21:38 |
| Lopson | :x | 21:38 |
| Lopson | I kinda messed up my 10.04 to 10.10 upgrade | 21:39 |
| Lopson | and now ubuntu has assets from both versions | 21:39 |
| Lopson | it's gone crazy | 21:39 |
| Lopson | argh | 21:39 |
| aveilleux | !ask | Lopson | 21:39 |
| ubot2 | Lopson: 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. :-) | 21:39 |
| Lopson | oh boy | 21:40 |
| Lopson | well | 21:40 |
| Lopson | during my ubuntu upgrade | 21:40 |
| Lopson | the upgrade window kinda got in front of the grub window | 21:40 |
| Lopson | and since gnome was going wild | 21:40 |
| Lopson | I couldn't move the winodws around | 21:41 |
| Lopson | so I restarted the computer | 21:41 |
| aveilleux | One line | 21:41 |
| Lopson | and well, since then, ubuntu doesn't update, can't detect 10.10 in the upgrade window and is behaving erratically | 21:41 |
| aveilleux | Lopson: Oooh, you killed the update process in the middle? That would lead to some problems yeah... | 21:42 |
| Lopson | oh boy ;_; | 21:42 |
| Lopson | is it easier to just format the entire thing to oblivion? | 21:42 |
| Lopson | and to answer your question properly, yes, I killed the update process | 21:43 |
| aveilleux | Lopson: Easier, yes, but I want you to try something | 21:43 |
| Lopson | sure, anything | 21:43 |
| aveilleux | Lopson: Can you get a Terminal window open? | 21:43 |
| Lopson | yup | 21:43 |
| Lopson | got it running | 21:43 |
| Lopson | in safe mode as root with networking | 21:43 |
| aveilleux | Lopson: Okay. run the command: dpkg-reconfigure -a | 21:43 |
| Lopson | just a sec | 21:44 |
| Lopson | ooh, something's happening | 21:44 |
| Lopson | something about folder readibility for all users of the system | 21:45 |
| Lopson | and now he's going about apparmor | 21:45 |
| aveilleux | Lopson: Yes, it's reconfiguring the installed packages. Let that run. | 21:45 |
| Lopson | Will do. | 21:46 |
| nit-wit | Lopson, are you generally running in root | 21:46 |
| Lopson | not really, I think | 21:46 |
| Lopson | I only have one account in the computer | 21:46 |
| nit-wit | Lopson, how do you know you are now, and how did you get there? | 21:47 |
| aveilleux | Lopson: Safe mode logs you in as root | 21:47 |
| aveilleux | nit-wit: ^^ | 21:47 |
| Lopson | ^ | 21:47 |
| Lopson | Precisely, it automatically does that | 21:47 |
| nit-wit | aveilleux, it can if you choose that yes. | 21:47 |
| Lopson | oh, now he's asking about a byobu? | 21:47 |
| Lopson | Do any of you know what Byobu does? | 21:48 |
| Lopson | 'Cause the text that has shown up speaks of a shell showing up at login | 21:48 |
| aveilleux | Lopson: What's the query exactly? | 21:50 |
| Lopson | Y/N | 21:50 |
| Lopson | Well, I pressed Yes, since it seems to be a default program for Ubuntu | 21:51 |
| aveilleux | Lopson: The whole question.... | 21:51 |
| Lopson | Oh... | 21:51 |
| Lopson | Well, can't say, since I hastily pressed Yes and can't go back to that screen | 21:51 |
| Lopson | .___. Gosh. | 21:51 |
| Lopson | He's, however, talking about some certificates | 21:52 |
| aveilleux | Lopson: Well that's fine, it's just an improved version of GNU screen | 21:52 |
| Lopson | Well that sounds harmless | 21:52 |
| aveilleux | Lopson: Answer yes to any questions | 21:52 |
| Lopson | Might as well let him install Authority certificates to run... | 21:52 |
| Lopson | understood | 21:52 |
| Lopson | and now I have a tremendously large list of certificates | 21:53 |
| Lopson | Well, any one will do | 21:53 |
| Lopson | aveilleux | 21:56 |
| Lopson | reconfigure is finished | 21:56 |
| aveilleux | Lopson: Now run: apt-get -yf install | 21:56 |
| Lopson | Ok. | 21:57 |
| Lopson | oh boy | 21:57 |
| Lopson | He still refuses to update | 21:57 |
| Lopson | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded | 21:58 |
| aveilleux | Lopson: Hm, okay. Now try booting graphically. | 22:00 |
| Lopson | Okay. | 22:00 |
| ChrisDruif | aveilleux: -yf? | 22:01 |
| aveilleux | ChrisDruif: yes to all, fix broken dependencies | 22:02 |
| Lopson | Well | 22:02 |
| Lopson | According to my Ubuntu | 22:02 |
| ChrisDruif | Ah...-f is fix :P | 22:02 |
| Lopson | Version 11.04 has already come out! | 22:02 |
| Lopson | in April 2011! | 22:02 |
| ChrisDruif | -y is suggest yes ;) | 22:02 |
| aveilleux | Lopson: It's out in alpha | 22:03 |
| aveilleux | ChrisDruif: -y is reply "yes" to all y/n queries | 22:03 |
| Lopson | aveilleux | 22:03 |
| ChrisDruif | But it doesn'r force it :) | 22:03 |
| Lopson | Is there ANY WAY to go to 10.10? | 22:03 |
| Lopson | ;_; | 22:03 |
| ChrisDruif | Lopson: From? | 22:03 |
| Lopson | 11.04 | 22:03 |
| Lopson | I really have no idea what's going on | 22:04 |
| aveilleux | ChrisDruif: Er, yes it does | 22:04 |
| Lopson | I wanted to install 10.10 | 22:04 |
| Lopson | Update manager said he was installing 10.10 | 22:04 |
| ChrisDruif | aveilleux: No it doesn't...--force-yes does :) | 22:04 |
| Lopson | and now I have 11.04 installed, for some bizarre reason. | 22:04 |
| aveilleux | ChrisDruif: The only question asked is "are you sure you want to install this y/n".... | 22:04 |
| ChrisDruif | Lopson: Did you also mark experimental packages or something? | 22:05 |
| Lopson | Gnome is still acting up, and during startup, it shows up as 10.10 | 22:05 |
| Lopson | I don't think so | 22:05 |
| Lopson | I'm gonna check that out. | 22:05 |
| ChrisDruif | Lopson: It's something you'd have to do manually...inside the settings :S | 22:05 |
| Lopson | oh... | 22:06 |
| Lopson | The I most certainly have not | 22:06 |
| Lopson | *Then | 22:06 |
| Lopson | I've got Important and Recommended marked in the update manager. | 22:06 |
| Lopson | Well, this is dandy... | 22:07 |
| Lopson | You know what, I'll just format the whole thing tomorrow | 22:07 |
| Lopson | thanks for all the help, guys, I really appreciated it. | 22:08 |
| Lopson | See you around. 0/ | 22:08 |
