Here is a command you can use to get a link to it: sudo apt-get install curl && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us [00:01] Belias: Is the URL correct? [00:01] does debian use upstart [00:02] magicianlord: not by default, no [00:02] magicianlord: next time you have a Debian question, though, ask #debian. [00:02] BiPolah: let me check [00:03] Belias: Ah, it rejects wget connections, hence why you had the -U. wget -r -nc -U Firefox www.tutorialsforblender3d.com [00:03] !ping [00:03] ping-pong, a fun game for all the family [00:03] soreau: okay can i PM you the link? [00:04] soreau: http://sprunge.us/ehEZ [00:05] hola all [00:05] hola hiexpo [00:06] kylemm: You need to install your graphics driver in sys>admin>additional drivers [00:06] kylemm: Or go to #nouveau and see why the open driver isn't working [00:06] okay i will install it, but it always says system error or something ill tell you what it says when its finished [00:07] kylemm: The nouveau drivers only support certain cards for 3D since nvidia wont release hardware specs to the public [00:07] soreau: so most likly my drivers wont let me do the effects? [00:08] kylemm: You probably should just install the proprietary nvidia driver [00:08] kylemm: From sys>admin>additional drivers [00:08] soreau: the one that says recommended? [00:08] kylemm: yes [00:08] when I install a package with software-center, where does it store the .deb file it downloaded? (I would like to install it on multiple machines w/o re-downloading) [00:08] kylemm, install the propiorty drivers [00:08] !aptoncd | pinkey [00:08] pinkey: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [00:09] isn't there just a directory where it puts them? [00:09] i can choose between two. NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173), or NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended]. Should i install both or just the recommended [00:09] kylemm: Install the one that says recommended [00:10] okay. it always says an error when its finished, i dont remember it so i will install it and tell you what it says [00:10] pinkey, install bleachbit and you will see exactly where it is at than you can go to that folder and just grab the deb without having to use aptoncd [00:11] pinkey: i think /var/cache/apt/archives [00:13] hello.. im wondering which download to get for use on my 6 year old dell laptop [00:13] anyone help me install my network card drivers so i can use wireless [00:13] doobien, specs? [00:13] soreau: when its done installing driver it says SystemError: install Archives() failed and it doesn't install it [00:13] doodlenox: regular ubuntu 10.10 [00:13] erm I meant doodlenox [00:13] lol [00:13] doodlenox: 32bit gnome [00:14] magicianlord, assuming he has enough ram. [00:14] doodlenox, i would get 10.04 lts 32bit [00:14] kylemm: You probably have a repo issue. Does 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' return without errors? [00:14] aptitude download [00:14] BCM4321 my networks cards chip [00:14] kirk: it's the better choice, no matter what. lxde and xfce dont differ much with ram usage than gnome [00:14] that is a myth [00:15] lubuntu liter [00:15] soreau: its asking me if i want to continue [00:15] doodlenox, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [00:15] kylemm: How are you going to find out if it returns without error if you do not continue? [00:15] * soreau doesn't understand some of these people sometimes [00:16] lmao [00:16] I ask for 'glxinfo|grep renderer' and they're telling me the output is "glxinfo isn't installed." Is it that hard to just read and think for two seconds? [00:16] hehe [00:16] soreau: well its at %6 now [00:16] I need some help; What would be the best way to convert a PAL dvd to an NTSC one? [00:16] thank you [00:16] kylemm: Good.

[00:17] doodlenox: ubuntu.com [00:17] vulpine_: Just rip it and use devede to recreate it [00:17] kylemm: no, as long as you dont formt anything [00:17] doodlenox, there is a torrent click alternative download [00:17] doodlenox, on the Ubuntu download page, to the bottom left "Alternative downloads" [00:17] thaaaaanks [00:18] kylemm: You are doing all of this in a live session or is ubuntu installed to the usb stick? [00:18] yes [00:18] soreau: But wouldn't that eliminate the original DVD menu? [00:18] Hey peeps is it possible to recover a file on my hdd using ubuntu even if I already erased my windows xp [00:18] vulpine_: yep. [00:18] its in a live session on a USB [00:18] soreau: so then isn't there a way to rip it with the dvd menu? [00:18] is there any way installing ubuntu unity in lucid lynx?? [00:18] whats the differce between i386 and AMD [00:18] Chriss_: Depends on how well you erased it and what exists in it's place on the drive now [00:19] which sould i go for [00:19] Chriss_, unlikely [00:19] vulpine_: I have no idea [00:19] soreau: alrighty, well thank you :D [00:19] !unity [00:19] Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com and http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ for more information. Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity [00:19] its funny because this operating system runs faster then my windows vista that has 1TB hard drive and 6GB ram === M3de is now known as FarkBarn [00:20] kylemm: why didn't you say it was a live cd hours ago? [00:20] kylemm: vista is slow. the ram doesnt affect it much, beyond 1gb [00:20] so which is it i386 for an old dell laptop or amd [00:20] offsense: sudo aptitude install unity (or google for another PPA) [00:20] kylemm, well sure it does linux uses very little resources [00:20] kylemm: you can even tweak ubuntu to be faster, if you know how [00:20] really is it not possible to just mount the drive [00:20] i didn't know it would affect anything if is live or not === Guest33861 is now known as LjL-Temp [00:21] kylemm: live is just to try it out. [00:21] ya. i mainly got this to test out the desktop effects [00:21] * ElderDryas decides to quit and just go get supper [00:21] if the desktop effects are good ill get it === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest18873 [00:21] wechat: let me try, thnx [00:21] kylemm: if you have an nvidia card, you would need to install the nvidia drivers for hte effects to work [00:22] intel or ati, not so much [00:22] it doesn't let me install the recommended one [00:22] I'm running 11.04 and sudo works with my password in a terminal, but my password is not accepted on the desktop for admin purposes, eg synaptic package manager - any ideas? [00:22] kylemm, there are a lot of things you are not going to be able to do useing the live system but it gets better [00:22] says system error [00:22] should i download the ati or amd for a dell laptop [00:22] kylemm: Why are you trying to get compiz working on a live usb? Why not just install it to the hard drive and actually use it (since every time you reboot, all your changes are lost) [00:22] kylemm: installing the drivers is best to do after the install. what is your graphic card? [00:22] soreau: he may not feel safe yet with replacing Vista [00:23] !11.04 | prakash_ [00:23] prakash_: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [00:23] well i dont want to lose all my files on my other opeating system. This is just to test it out. If its good ill prob get dsi [00:23] dis [00:23] magicianlord: He has 1TB hdd, I don't think he needs to replace anything [00:23] im running this on a 8GB USB stick [00:23] has anyone in here ever been investigated by the fbi for hacking?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:24] soreau: it's not about space. its aboutcompatibility and knowing how to navigate [00:24] kylemm: The only way to get proprietary nvidia drivers working on a live cd is to restart X. So after installing nvidia-common package, log out to restart X [00:24] doodlenox: if it's an older laptop i386, not amd (this is cpu related); ati is videocard [00:24] magicianlord: How do you know what he wants? [00:24] rww sorry about that...i just figured a room full of smart people would be the proper place to ask that question [00:24] soreau: it's obvious [00:24] unix will run on anything doodlenox [00:24] so soreau is that all i have to do? [00:24] this thing im running is at %80 [00:24] offsense: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/InstallationGuide [00:25] kylemm: Yes, and it may not even work. You're better off installing it to a partition on your hdd [00:25] so do i need to complete this installation? [00:25] ubottu: is there an easy way to downgrade or should I reinstall? [00:25] its at %81 [00:25] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:25] kylemm: Or install ubuntu to the usb drive, depending on how big it is [00:25] !downgrade | prakash_ [00:25] prakash_: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [00:25] ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [00:25] is that good? [00:26] for old dell laptop [00:26] kylemm: If you have 6GB of ram, it shouldn't run out of space quickly so it should be fine [00:26] 5 years [00:26] Doodlenox: That is the latest stable version of Ubuntu, 32-bit. [00:26] prakash_, you can not downgrade do a fresh install [00:26] kylemm: In a live session, the entire system is running in memory [00:26] soreau. It says the recommeneded driver is activated but not in use [00:26] Doodlenox: I imagine your laptop could support it. I don't imagine there'd be any great problems in running it unless the hardware is unsupported [00:27] doodlenox: define old, if you go for text installer yes [00:27] kylemm: log out and log back in [00:27] kylemm: That's because it's installed but not loaded. You need to log out in order to restart X [00:27] okay so can i cancel this terminal? [00:27] that was installing sheit? [00:27] soreau: what is the default log in pas on the live session [00:27] kylemm: Just let it finish [00:27] k [00:27] magicianlord: nothing [00:27] it doesn't matter kylemm it's only live so don't matter [00:28] soreau: maybe [00:28] this linux is so fast [00:28] in my school class we were building computers and installing dual boot ubuntu and windows xp so thats how i found out about this and got a live usb [00:28] what file/command causes the sound slider to live on the top panel? indicator applet does NOT create it... just mail and display. [00:28] doodlenox: that's alternate install, you want that? see if you like netbook edition for your laptop, else just use desktop version [00:28] good shcool [00:28] cryptodira: mixer applet, maybe [00:29] kylemm: I would also install compizconfig-settings-manager, simple-ccsm and compiz-fusion-plugins-extra so you can configure compiz after it's working === zeromobi|3 is now known as zeromobi === taxon is now known as taxon|afk [00:30] kylemm, but remember when you install the extra tweeks to make things kool it will get slower somewhat but still much faster than windoz [00:30] okay :D [00:30] soreau: how does live cd remember that you have installed the NVIDIA drivers after you install (you have to reboot afterall) [00:30] soreau okay i will do so :D [00:30] kylemm: Meh, compiz is fast. [00:31] this stuff is just unpacking [00:31] kylemm: don't need to worry about slow down unless you're doing something really extreme [00:31] extra effecst is not really slower. use it. i use extra effects on a netbook [00:31] this is so fast lol. [00:31] okay sreau [00:31] ElderDryas: You don't reboot, you just restart X [00:31] kylemm: you can press the windows key and tab or win plus A for some cool effects [00:32] * ElderDryas slaps forehead and decides more beer is needed [00:32] magicianlord: After he gets his drivers loaded and compiz running [00:32] duh [00:32] correct [00:32] * soreau gives ElderDryas more beer [00:32] all this stuff is just unpacking [00:32] fake irc beer sucks.. maybe not sucks.. but not as good as cold real beer [00:32] okay how do i logout? [00:33] linux is a much more stabble and safe operateing system than windoz if it was not why would nasa and other big companys use it most servers are linux red hat linux is safe and very stable i don't even have a virus scanner [00:33] kylemm: Yea, just let it finish now since it's already going. It will get you latest official updates with bug fixes etc [00:33] damn still not done [00:33] kylemm: Log out in sys> [00:33] el_monstero: but it's free (as in beer not speech) [00:33] oh [00:33] its at update-initramfs [00:33] gordonjcp, grepping for mixer applet only returns a .png and text document... i think i am looking for something along the lines of the nm-applet.... so that the slider will be made [00:34] kylemm: You may have to completely restart gdm, not sure.. but to completely restart X, do Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a tty and then type 'sudo service gdm restart' and it should automatically load the nvidia driver [00:34] kylemm: use the button in the top right corner [00:34] kylemm: That is, if sys>log out doesn't work [00:34] anyone want to chat about firewalls [00:34] soreau so after this is done do that? or just log off [00:34] okay okay === Vixie is now known as Fluttershy [00:34] so try logout first [00:34] use: exit or logout [00:35] kylemm: After it's done. You don't want to interrupt the package manager while it's updating your system [00:36] so many updates lol [00:36] kylemm: Did you see my private message? [00:36] umm [00:36] no [00:37] did you install it? [00:37] this thing is still updating [00:37] it's gonna take a while to update [00:37] are you in the live sessions stil [00:37] :) [00:37] ya [00:37] magicianlord: I didn't know he was on a live cd so I had him update :p [00:37] lol [00:37] you dont need to update on the live [00:37] i would just stop the update for now [00:38] magicianlord: Nah, it could mess up the system [00:38] mess up my whole system [00:38] or just my usb? [00:38] it wont mess up anything [00:38] magicianlord: Bad habit to make too - stopping the package manager in the middle of updating [00:38] it's gonna take it half an hour to update it [00:38] what's the point on the live [00:38] when install os that will need updata [00:39] magicianlord: No it wont, the packages are already d/l'd and he has a reasonably fast system [00:39] after im done trying out ubuntu, and i format my usb to take this stuff off [00:39] yea but he will have to reoboot and lose the changes [00:39] will things still be on my internal hardware [00:40] yes [00:40] it's all running in memory/RAM [00:40] anyone here confirming that unity-desktop run slower comparing to normal desktop? [00:40] okay well hopefully it doesn't screw around with my vista os [00:40] kylemm: In a live session, the entire system is operating in memory so after you reboot, it's like it never even happened [00:41] soreau & magicianlord : Just did some checking...it looks like there is a Persistence File (?) you can create if you make a boot USB from the Live CD. Would this save changes like the NVIDIA drivers one adds and use them the next time? [00:41] kylemm: It's not going to mess with anything unless you tell it to [00:41] okay. so when i reboot its like NOTHING happened? [00:41] might as well scroll around on hackforums for a bit and try to buy some XBL microsoft points lol [00:42] ElderDryas: I am not familiar with that option but my guess would be that it suspends to ram but writes it to the usb stick [00:42] ElderDryas: i dont think so. it would just give you a separate "disk" in nautilus to save extra files to. [00:42] ElderDryas: not cetain about os chagnes though, bec i never used that option [00:43] okay i think its done [00:43] its now showing ubuntu@ubuntu:-$ rectangle [00:43] just log out [00:43] kylemm: You will know it's done when it gives you bask a prompt - yes, like that [00:43] kylemm: Now sys>log out [00:43] okay [00:43] ill be bak :D [00:43] hopefully [00:44] is there a way to tell apt to uninstall everything ive installed the last 3 days or so? [00:44] where is logout lol [00:44] bsmith093: Like a system restore point? Not sure.. [00:44] kylemm: In the System menu [00:44] system>admin> login screen [00:44] ? [00:44] kyentei: No, system>Log Out [00:45] kylemm: No, system>log out [00:45] ! who | kylemm [00:45] kylemm: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:45] all i see is system> prefferences, administration, help and support, about gnome, abount ubuntu [00:45] use teminate [00:45] soreau: thats all i see :D [00:45] kylemm: upper right corner of panel, there is a powr button. click it and choose logout [00:46] kylemm: Maybe it's different on the live session. Try going to Ctrl+Alt+F1 tty and entering (you better write this down) sudo service gdm restart [00:46] bsmith093: I only know the hard way: read /var/log/dpkg/status to see what was installed in the last 3 days, and then manually uninstall them...

[00:47] is it possible to copy the home directory of a user from one ubuntu install to another, and presuming the same apps are installed, all the settings will load up as expected in applications? [00:47] oh crap [00:47] I guess he figured it out [00:47] nowarninglabel: sure [00:47] maybe [00:47] or he can't get back in becaus there is a log in pass and name [00:47] this is my plan b, since i can't find a drive big enough to clone the whole current drive to [00:47] nowarninglabel: Should work as long as it isn't vastly different versions of ubuntu [00:47] magicianlord: lol [00:48] i had thatproblem with 9.10 i thnk on the live session [00:48] soreau: Ok, think 9.10 -> 10 will work ok? [00:48] magicianlord: I think it counts down to 10 and auto logs in, or if you hit enter it will log in right away [00:48] nowarninglabel: Probably. Try it and find out [00:48] i dont htink he knwos that [00:49] magicianlord: Well it's kinda obvious with the time out thing.. if anything the nvidia drivers probably just exploded on him [00:49] soreau: Yeah will do. Thanks. Wish I could find a way to just clone the drive on to a smaller drive, but so far research on that route has been for naught [00:49] soreau: hey [00:49] nowarninglabel: how big are your source and destination drives? [00:49] nowarninglabel: If something isn't working right, just rm or mv the relevant config dir out of the way to reset to defaults and see if it's the problem [00:49] kylemm: hi [00:50] soreau: ok [00:50] kylemm: What happened? [00:50] soreau: when i logged out, it had me login with a user and pass, and i dont have one. [00:50] soreau: so i had to restart comp [00:50] lol [00:50] failure [00:50] kylemm: On a live session, it should be auto login after 10 secs or you just press enter without typing anything [00:50] Loshki: source is 150GB drive, destination is 80.3GB. But I only am using 70GB on the source (but yes I know it isn't like you can't just copy the used portion, wish I could) [00:50] wow [00:50] i just finish installing buntu netbook edition on my netbook and when i book it halt and free with this message,[40.119754] phy0 --> rt2800pci_mcu_status: error - Mcu request failed, no response from hardware speech-dispatcher disabled; edit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher , how can i edit this file if i cant login ? [00:50] magicianlord: failsauce :) [00:50] okay ill try just pressing enter then [00:50] lol [00:51] lemme reinstall deiver [00:51] kylemm: Try it right now again before installing the drivers [00:51] okay lol [00:51] dont update [00:51] yea [00:51] just do the nvidia driver [00:51] magicianlord: I'm having him test the gdm login again [00:51] hopefully, just enter will work [00:52] all this is because I am switching jobs and new job is forcing me to use a Mac, at least I can still use an Ubuntu VM, but ugh [00:52] nowarninglabel: you can use 'tar' [00:52] nowarninglabel: ow, that sucks :) [00:52] nowarninglabel: but thats not ideal [00:52] nowarninglabel: well actually you should be able to just copy the 70GB that's in use. [00:52] Well I thought maybe there is a way, but I want to create a bootable clone if possible, and so far haven't found a way [00:53] nowarninglabel: partimage? tried that out? [00:53] mkanyicy: interesting, can you point me towards any docs on trying it with tar? [00:53] nowarninglabel: you can install ubuntu on a usb drive plugged in [00:53] magicianlord: i did a direct dd of the drive to a 250GB usb external drive, but it didn't copy the mbr [00:53] nowarninglabel: 'man tar', lol [00:53] magicianlord: so can't boot off of it [00:53] soreau: Authentication failure. had to restart again [00:53] hi all, I am trying to get my usb tv tuner card to work and having trouble. It is a avermediatvhd volar max (h826DU) and it is supported. The card is recognized and w_scan picks up the channels... but I can't play them [00:54] mkanyicy: hehe ok ill give that a shot as well [00:54] nowarninglabel: i used to use that back in the day, with bzip2, though [00:54] nowarninglabel: it was hell of a hack [00:54] kylemm: wtf. Ok, now lets set you a password so you can login. Run 'passwd' and set a password for the ubuntu user [00:54] in the terminal what is <<< ? i am familiar with < and << never came across it until today . [00:55] wtf [00:55] nowarninglabel: it can still be done, but the new copy will need to have /etc/fstab edited, and also the grub boot files, as various file paths will have changed... [00:55] thanks #ubuntu at least gives me something to try === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [00:55] edwardteach: can you give an example? [00:55] soreau: it says changing password for ubuntu.

[00:55] Loshki: Yes, hehe unfortunately I will admit I do not have that expert level domain knowledge for that [00:55] kylemm: It just doesn't show what you type (security feature) [00:56] kylemm: So press backspace a bunch then just press enter [00:56] hey, is this the best place to ask about sound issues?

[00:58] kylemm: On the gdm login screen, it should have a 10 second timeout and the password should be blank [00:58] soreau: im running 10.04 or something like that [00:58] kylemm: Probably 10.04 [00:58] oh hm [00:58] mkanyicy: heh, ok i'll give it a shot. I booted into my ubuntu partition, and the sound is gone. It worked last time I used ubuntu (about 3 months ago), but now it isn't and I have no idea how to go about troubleshooting it. [00:58] it says username but does not say will login in [00:59] kylemm: Why not get the latest version of ubuntu to test with? nouveau might be working (which means compiz would work OOTB) [00:59] Loshki: Is there a place I should start? I'm guessing I should start by burning a grub cd for the computer I'm moving it to [00:59] i cant get the 10.10 working [00:59] kylemm: Why not? [00:59] some file does not transfer properly to the usb or something [00:59] or the dl file was incomplete [00:59] joshie, is the sound muted? [01:00] it will take like 2-3 more hours to dl the latest version [01:00] joshie, open terminal and type - alsamixer - check the if the channels are muted - M at the bottom- and check the volumes of each channel [01:00] kylemm: what do you want to do [01:00] do you think that is the only way to get it to let me logout? [01:00] sudo apt-get nomoreirc [01:00] and log back in [01:00] sinisterstuf: nope. i have a thinkpad x61t with sound buttons above the keyboard that were working when sound was working. [01:01] sudo apt-get killtheinternet [01:01] eth0 connection fails, all DHCP, how can I attempt in terminal to seewhat happens? [01:01] joshie, the sound buttons no longer work either? [01:01] g_0_0: josh@jAg-Tablet:~$ alsamixer [01:01] cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [01:01] soreau: is there any trick to let me login? :D [01:02] !alsa | joshie [01:02] joshie, what has no file or directory? [01:02] joshie: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [01:02] sudo apt-get install kill-ubuntu [01:02] sinisterstuf: not sure if the buttons work and sound is dead, or if the buttons functionality is also broke [01:02] Hello, I'm going to reinstall Ubuntu, but I'd like to decrypt my home folder before I do. How should I go about this? Deleting the .ecryptfs folder? [01:02] Can the 10.10 live image be set up for booting over a network? I am having a hell of a time getting a non-corrupted boot device (USB or CD) and am sick of trying... [01:03] naptastic: i think only the alternate installer is available for pxe boot [01:03] ubottu: how do i open the volume applet? [01:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:03] * CruelC kills ubottu [01:03] jack_, I can work with that!! Where do I find the alternate installer? [01:04] sinisterstuf: no idea. that's what the terminal returns when i type alsamixer [01:04] naptastic: gimmie one moment [01:04] !pxe [01:04] boo [01:04] CruelC: Hi, #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. Please move your "funny" jokes to #ubuntu-offtopic.
