GeocosmHow do I make vlc my preferred multimedia application? It's not listed in Preferred Applications.04:05
GeocosmI figured it out, I guess. Not really ideal. If I go through every file type and r-click and open with and then pick VLC and check remember this for this filetype it works.04:18
GeocosmAnnoying I can't just set vlc as default for all filetypes.04:18

ubot2'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes.  A higher value makes it more likely to give away time.  A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default.  For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal.04:30

r4yHello07:26
r4yHello nit wit07:26
r4yhe he he he07:26
nit-withowdeeee07:27
r4yHowdee07:27
r4yI want to know, how do I find out what the links are for torrents I have running in Deluge?, I can't remember where exactly where I downloaded them. Is there an easy way to know?, I am asking this because I am switching hard drives and I am going to re-install Ubuntu on this hard drive.07:30
nit-witdo you mean the sources of the torrents?07:31
seidosi couldn't figure out how to do it in transmission07:32
r4yI don't know the name for it.07:33
r4yI would guess that the answer is yes07:33
r4ysource being where I found the download link to have Deluge use to open the torrent, download and upload eventually, so yes07:34
r4yI also use Transmission. Their both great torrent clients07:35
bioterrorls ~/Downloads07:35
r4yray@ray-desktop:~$ >ls ~/Downloads bash: /home/ray/Downloads: is a directory ray@ray-desktop:~$07:36
r4yI know the links aren't under the download directory07:37
bioterrorthen we cant know your configurations07:37
bioterrorchromium stores all the .torrent files I've used to ~/Downloads/07:37
r4yI will look07:38
bioterrorsudo find / |grep .torrent07:38
r4yOK07:38
seidoso_o07:39
r4yHa ha ha, love the smily face07:39
r4yWow, it spuwd out loads of infortmation07:40
r4yinformation07:40
r4yI meant07:40
r4yOK, how do I make it show me this one page at a time?, It would even be better if I could go up and down a page as many times as I want with out having to do it again. I always wanted to know how to do that. I once tried the less and more option commands but they didn't do what I wnated when I tried them before07:42
r4yMaybe I should grep Deluge or deluge07:43
seidosr4y you could try sudo find / | grep .torrent | less07:43
r4yOK, I will try that07:44
r4yI guess I don't know how to apply options for commands, I find the manual hard to understand how to use when trying to apply a chain of commands and options07:45
r4ybut I have been getting better at it07:45
seidosr4y: i believe locate *.torrent would be better07:45
r4yOK07:45
r4yMabye this:07:46
r4yoops07:46
r4y"/home/ray/.config/deluge/state/c7dbc78acab357f4f74f835b67a41ad902d90bda.torrent"07:46
r4yI forgot quotes07:46
r4yI am looking through it07:47
seidosr4y: where do you save your torrent files?  just back them up somewhere for the install.07:47
seidosthen you won't need the torrent urls07:47
seidosi was looking for torrent urls earlier to see if i could share it with someone07:48
r4yI save them in home, but I want the urls so I can seed back07:48
r4yI have already backed them up to the other hard drive yesterday07:48
r4yThank you for the help so far07:49
r4yLet this be a lesson to me. Always save the links for torrents or what ever they are called07:50
nit-wityou can set deluge to save the torrent sig where ever you want07:50
r4yK07:51
r4yI will look07:51
r4yIs that possible by going to? preferences, Downloads, copy of .torrents files to07:54
=== Puck` is now known as dnb
r4yIf so then I can do it by hand07:54
r4yI will try that option and see07:55
r4yHmm, I need a little more time on this.07:56
nit-witr4y, yeah thats it.07:59
r4yOK, I am going to do an experiment but I will have to leave this connection and come back07:59
r4ybut I didn't find any files for download links for deluge to use where I set it to be using that feature08:00
r4yI am going to try something else though08:00
r4yI will be back08:00
seidosah, i bet opening the torrent with a text editor would work08:01
seidoser, hmmm, nope08:03
seidoswell gedit can't read a torrent file08:03
bioterrorseidos, it's a binary file ;)08:14
seidosbioterror: you can keep that08:15
bioterrorseidos, try a hex editor :D08:16
seidosdon't have one08:17
r4yHa08:27
r4yIt worked08:28
r4yI took the folder called deluge from the .config folder and copied to my flash drive then went to my other hard drive and dropped it in the same place on my other hard drive, then I opened Deluge and it was all there08:29
r4yincluding the percentages for how much was downloaded, but I am going to force check on all of them anyways08:30
r4ywhere is nit wit and the other dude?08:30
r4yo well, anyways it worked08:31
seidoscool08:32
r4yYa, I know what to do now08:32
seidosi didn't really know what you wanted at first08:32
r4yThank you for your help. I will put the commands you guys suggested into a text file as always08:32
r4yIt's ok, I am always willing to try to explain it in as many was as I can because I have a hard time explaining what I want to say08:33
r4yand  I have a hard time understanding what's said as well08:34
r4ybut over the years I get better at it08:34
r4ybut I always make mistakes08:34
r4ybut sometimes that can be funny08:34
seidosi guess to you the url's and the torrent files are the same, or at least that's what you thought08:35
r4yI am coffeed up, so I am sorry if I am some what talkative08:35
r4yha talkative is a word?, spell checker didn't say it was miss spelled08:36
r4yKnow, that's not what I thought.08:36
geirhaIt is. :)08:36
seidosr2d2y08:37
r4yOoops, I thought you meant something else08:37
r4yjust now that is08:37
seidosr4y: with whom are you speaking?08:37
r4yboth of you08:37
r4yHe said It is.08:38
r4yAnd that was in reply to both of us08:38
r4yI thought08:38
seidosi see08:38
geirhaIt was a response to "talkative is a word?" :)08:38
r4yI thought you were thinking by your(seidos) last statement that I think a torrent that is downloade that can be so many MB to GB is the same thing as a torrent link, and I know that isn't true08:40
seidosr4y: the .torrent file is not MB to GB.08:40
r4yright, I know that08:40
r4ywhich I am trying to state I know08:40
r4yI found, give me a sec08:41
seidosoh no, i said URL=.torrent08:41
seidoser, that's what i think you were thinking08:41
seidosit doesn't really matter now, i could be wrong, i am hazarding a guess based on what you typed earlier08:41
seidosnot that .torrent=torrent-data08:41
r4yThere is a file called torrents state that has links in it that only a torrent client can handle because I put on of them into firefox and it said so, so I now know that as well08:42
r4yIt's cool, I just want to state that I am not computer illiterate, but I have my times of being completely confused.08:43
seidosi feel you on that one r4y08:43
r4yI am computer Illiterate to a certain extent.08:44
r4yRecently I started using IRC channels on networks.08:45
r4yIt fun, and I don't want to be in the way08:45
r4yI think I know what flooding means08:45
r4yIt's when to much text floods in08:46
r4ytalkative doesn't sound like a real word to me08:46
r4yHeck to me polyrhythm is a word. Look it up on Google but it is not correct in Googles spell checker08:47
r4yIt is more then one rhythm being played at the same time, where as a linear rhythm is where only one note is played at any given time.08:48
seidosi'm not sure what polyrhythm sounds like08:49
r4yAny drum beat, except drum beats that only have one note at a time.08:49
r4ySo if a drummer plays a bass drum note and a crash cymbal note at the same time then it is a polyrhythm08:50
r4yand so forth08:50
r4yI can find a link for both.08:51
r4yMy internet is slow08:55
seidoshmmm, so just multiple beats, basically?08:55
r4yYep08:55
r4yhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pidPJs15CrM08:56
r4y3 against 408:57
r4yThat and many others, but most beats are considered polyrhythms08:57
seidos3 against 4?08:57
r4yYes, 3 against 4. 3 beats per measure with 4 beats per measure.08:59
r4yI started by doing 12 and accenting every 3rd note and playing the bass drum on every 4th note to make 3 against 409:01
r4yand vice versa09:01
seidoshmmmm09:01
r4y3 against 4 doesn't have to be 3 notes per measure with 4 notes per measure, but it is a way to explain it09:02
r4yIt can be slower or faster09:02
seidosmmm k09:05
seidosi used to want to learn drums.  i lost my drum pad09:05
JomikHeyoo all, I deleted my network connections widget by mistake and I can't see how I get it back?09:06
r4yGet drum instead. drum pads don't sound good unless you get a practice pad that sort of sounds like a snare drum09:06
r4yRight click your top panel09:07
r4yadd to panel09:07
Jomiktried09:07
Jomikit isn't there09:07
r4ynotification area09:07
r4yHmm09:08
r4yGive me a little while09:08
JomikTyvm mate :D09:09
geirhaJomik: If you haven't customized it too much, you could just reset the panels to default09:09
JomikIt was notification area09:09
Jomikgeirha, where? XD I haven't customized it at all, but it's back now - would still like to know though09:09
r4yHow?09:09
geirha!panels09:09
ubot2To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel »09:09
Jomik!terminal09:10
ubot2The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal09:10

Jomiknumbers on numpad09:17
Geocosmgucharmap you!09:17
MrChrisDruif??09:18
Jomikyeah09:18
r4yNot yet, but it is great and I will be installing it on every install I make now09:18
Geocosmnothing is happening.09:18
JomikHold down ALT and press 0171 or 0187 on your numpad09:18

r4yYesterday I meant to say that the command I wanted to find for clearing out DNS was there which I pasted here09:20
geirhaAlt Group, the Alt key on the right hand side09:20
Jomikthe key "Alt Gr"09:20
geirhaIf you have a compose key you can type Compose < <09:21
Jomiklooking geirha09:21
r4yI should checkout all the commands that are listed in CLI Companion sometime in Google.09:21
GeocosmI have a Razer Lycosa.09:21

r4ymulti-line?09:26
GeocosmI was trying to point out the irony.09:26
JomikGeirha, that link you sent me - I can't find "encrypt" in the menu?09:26
geirhaJomik: when you right-click a file or folder?09:27
Jomikr4y, I think he means that I posted 6 lines in less than a minute, and that ticked him off.09:27
geirhaJomik: Could be it's disabled if you don't have any pgp-keys stored.09:27
JomikGeirha, I don't see anything like that :/ I see Compress09:27
JomikMight be? XD09:28
seidosi want more beans09:28
r4yEncrypting scares me, because of the possibility of losing data, but I guess anytime I use my hard drive I should be scaried then, but at least make a backup09:28
geirhaJomik: Try creating a dummy pgp-key in Password and encryption keys.09:28
r4yI have a backup of everything09:28
r4yI understand not having the space though09:28
Jomikgeirha, it needs my full name and email adress? why ? O.o09:30
MrChrisDruifr4y: multi-line aka what Jomik did between 10:23:54 && 10:24:09 CET09:30
geirhaJomik: Just write in some random stuff, but don't upload it to a key server. It's just for testing for now.09:31
JomikYeah, because I tested the shortcut to writing the « which didn't show before I actually pressed enter. :o09:31
Jomikgeirha, I don't have a key server? XD09:31
geirhaJomik: Keys like that are used by Ubuntu developers. They can use them to sign packages and stuff, so you know they made them and not some malicious third-party.09:32
Jomikgeirha: Kay XD I made one now, but it didn't show up anywhere O.o09:32
geirhaJomik: «My personal keys»09:33
JomikOh, yeah, I didn't finish making it, the popup got minimized XD09:33
geirhaJomik: a PGP-key is a pair. You have a secret part and a public part. When you make a "proper" key, you generally want to give the public key to people you know. With your public key, they can encrypt stuff with it, and the only way to decrypt it, is with the corresponding secret key.09:35
MrChrisDruifr4y: You understand what I mean?09:35
Jomikgairha: But if I just want to encrypt / password protect a directory so that I can only access it with some password.?09:36
JomikAnd (sorry MrChrisDruif) why the hell does it take so long to generate a key <.<09:36
r4yI need to read it over, I am talking to duandesign on a private chat about CLI Companion09:36
r4ysorry09:36
geirhaJomik: Then you encrypt it with your own public key, at which point you can decrypt it with your secret key.09:36
r4yI will come back and read everything you wrote though09:36
geirhaAnd the secret key is password protected.09:37
MrChrisDruifJomik: The swiftness is dependent on key size and processing power09:37
JomikI used very short strings T_T And I think I get it  :P09:37
MrChrisDruifYeah, very short strings is a good definition of flooding :D09:38
geirhaJomik: Yeah, I only meant to create that key for testing. Once you do it for real, use a long password (or actually passphrase). Mine is like 50 characters long :)09:38
JomikMrChrisDruif - I meant for my PGP key .......................... And geirha: Wtf, 50 characters? XD09:39
MrChrisDruifJomik: I don't remember....sorry :) Been too long back that I did that09:40
geirhaJomik: I'd like to see someone crack that :)09:40
Jomikgeirha: Why would anyone bother trying? XD How many chinese characters?09:41
geirhaJomik: It's just a phrase by some famous person, where I've replaced a few characters and words, so it's easy for me to remember it.09:42
JomikAaah, still way much O.o Do you have encrypted directories on your computer then?09:43
geirhaJomik: Nah. I don't have files I need to keep THAT secure.09:44
JomikWhat do you use it for then? O.o09:45
geirhaTo send and receive sensitive stuff over email. Which is otherwise very insecure.09:46
Jomikahh09:46
r4yI think I understand what you meant MrChrisDruif. You were saying to use pastebin instead of flooding I think10:48

JomikHeya all. I just realized that my computer doesn't try to connect to a wireless connection automatically. How would I make it do that? XD14:58
ddecatorare you using gnome?14:59
JomikI believe so :D14:59
JomikI'm not exactly sure what gnome is, but yeah, I'm using network-manager-gnome14:59
ddecatorgo up to the network applet in the top panel, right click and select "Edit Connections" (i think), find the connection you want, highlight it and click "Edit", then check the box that says to connect automatically15:00
ddecatorgnome is what Ubuntu uses15:00
ddecatorkde is Kubuntu, xfce is Xubuntu :)15:00
Jomikddecator, ty, I just had to run for a bit XD I'm on Ubuntu, so yeah, gnome . I'll try to see if I can find it, I just couldn't find that before15:10
Jomikddecator: It is enabled already, but when I came home today, it had lost connection and didn't try to connect even though it was present.15:11
ddecatorcould have been a one-time glitch15:13
JomikHopefully XD15:23
JomikHow did I check my ip again? iwconfig doesn't show it lol15:24
bioterrorifconfig15:25
Jomikrofl ty XD15:25
bioterroripcconfig in windows and ifconfig on linux15:26
JomikYeah, what was iwconfig then? O.o15:26
bioterrorfor wlan15:27
Jomikah15:27
bioterroryou can adjust wlan networks and keys15:27
JomikOhh, yeah, I remember15:27
JomikOkay, why can't my other computer see my linux one? Same network. I try to ping the IP and it says it's not available15:28
bioterrorare you sure about network15:29
Jomik100% sure we're on the same network.15:30
JomikBoth connected wirelessly15:30
Jomikand the computers are ~half a meter apart XD15:30
bioterrorpastebin ip addresses15:32
Jomikk15:33
bioterrorbut im off15:33
bioterrortrain is almost at my home station15:33
Jomikhttp://pastebin.com/TDyE3vHH15:33
JomikAWww15:33
JomikXD15:33
JomikComing on soon again or?15:34
JomikCan someone else help me? I can't ping my computer from my server (Both are on the same LAN) or the other way around. And I need to be able to connect 'em >.<15:40
bioterrorJomik, yes, they are on same network16:01
bioterrorI believe you16:01
IAmNotThatGuyBonjour s-fox =]16:02
s-foxBonjour IAmNotThatGuy =)16:02
IAmNotThatGuyhow are you s-fox ?16:02
s-foxTo answer your question on facebook - stuck in UK at the minute for at least 20 more weeks16:03
s-foxI'm okay, how are you IAmNotThatGuy ?16:03
bioterrorJomik, IAmNotThatGuy will assist you. he's a certified cisco engineer! ;)16:03
JomikOooo, kewl XD16:03
* IAmNotThatGuy blinks16:03
bioterror:D16:04
Jomikboth the computers can ping 192.168.1.1 - gateway16:04
Jomikbut they can't ping eachother16:04
Jomikthey're on LAN16:04
IAmNotThatGuys-fox, some busy schedules. office eats my time :]16:04
JomikSo I'm guessing my router might be blocking something ? O.o16:04
IAmNotThatGuy7 AM to 8.30 PM16:04
JomikIAmNotThatGuy: Ouch, that's a lot16:05
IAmNotThatGuyJomik, its just for 4 weeks. so no worries :]16:05
Jomik"just" Lol! Could you spare like 2 minutes for a random dude from the net then? XD16:06
johnny77Jomik: this is a wild guess, but in windows I've had it where my antivirus wasn't set to "trust" the other computers on my network.16:06
IAmNotThatGuyjust 2 minutes is enough for you? :P16:06
IAmNotThatGuyheya johnny7716:06
johnny77IAmNotThatGuy: hello.16:06
Jomikjohnny77 I doubt that, cuz they were able to connect earlier when my server was connected to the net by cable.16:07
IAmNotThatGuyidk why [Drumm] heeps changing his nick :|16:07
johnny77Jomik: ok, just thought I'd throw that out there.16:08
JomikIAmNotThatguy: I have no idea XD I'm pretty competent with computers, so should be able to understand most. But I still can't see why I can't ping my damned server. I'll be able to try to ping another computer in a few minutes when it frees up.16:08
Jomikjohnny77, yeah. I thought of it too, I tried flushing the iptables on my ubuntu machine too. but didn't change anything16:08
IAmNotThatGuyJomik, just from that particular client or from any client?16:09
JomikI haven't been able to try from another client yet. I'll be able to in just a few secs, so guess we should wait for that XD16:10
IAmNotThatGuyJomik, also beware of the smiley you use. coz it makes me confuse in guessing your state of mind16:11
bioterrorJomik, what's your router?16:12
JomikAh, don't pay attention to my smileys, it's a very bad habit I have. I'll try not to use them though.16:12
Jomikbioterror: It's a Tilgin - you want it more specific?16:12
bioterrorJomik, http://www.tilgin.com/Products/Ethernet-access/ something like that?16:14
JomikTilgin HG1311, looks like that, but has no antenna :D16:14
bioterrorI think you have to surf the webinterface of your device and check if there's some settings that blocks ICMP packets from computer to another16:16
bioterrorhi bodhi16:16
JomikI can't remember the password ... I know it's the default ones .. lol16:17
bioterrorhaha16:18
bioterrorreset it :D16:18
JomikNah, I can't reset it, my mom's bf took hours setting it up. And he wont let me though I'm better at it than him <.< But I know the password is the default16:18
bioterror1234 :D16:19
Jomikokay, I can't ping anything from any clients.16:21
bioterrorI can proof you that it's not linux fault16:21
bioterroryour ubuntu works just fine :D16:22
JomikYea,h believe so :D16:22
holsteinfirewall?16:22
holsteinon one of the machines?16:22
JomikNope, I tried on 2 windows machines16:23
holsteinwith the firewalls disabled?16:23
Jomikand I've been able to ping it from my windows one before, I was able to connect them even, through minecraft.16:23
holsteini remember doing that as a trouble-shooting step16:23
Jomikboth of them was connected once, when my server was on cable.16:23
Jomikbioterror / IAmNotThatGuy what did you want me to look for in the router?16:24
holstein11:16 <+bioterror> I think you have to surf the webinterface of your device and check if there's some settings that blocks  ICMP packets from computer to another16:24
JomikYeah, but more specific lol ICMP packets? :D16:24
holsteinis this helpful?16:26
holsteinhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping16:26
JomikI mean, where would my router block an ICMP packet? :D16:26
holsteinthe interfaces are usually so differnt16:27
holsteininterface and options16:27
JomikYeah16:27
JomikCan't find anywhere that would block anything at all16:28
Jomikexcept no ports being forwarded ofcourse16:28
Jomikbut that shouldn't affect LAN16:28
holsteinshouldnt16:28
holsteinyou can ping the router from all of them?16:28
Jomikyup16:28
holsteinand the windows boxes can ping each other?16:28
Jomiknope16:29
holsteinwell, it literally cant hurt anything16:29
holsteinto disable the firewalls16:29
holsteinfor a mintue16:29
holsteinminute*16:29
JomikThere is none XD16:29
holsteinon the windows boxes16:29
JomikO.o16:29
Jomikit popped on my comp again16:29
Jomiksec16:29
Jomikstill can't ping16:30
holsteini would probably spend some time on why those windows machines cant ping each other16:30
holsteindid you restart them?16:30
holsteinwindows seems to like that16:30
holstein"did you turn it off and back on again" ;)16:30
JomikWhat would that do? :O I mean, they've been reset a bunch of times XD16:31
Jomikdamned smileys again, sorry, pay no attention to those16:31
holsteini can only recall some windows trouble-shooting steps16:32
holsteinfrom when i used to try to get lin and win talking16:32
Jomikwhat is PPP-pass through?16:33
holsteinyou shouldnt need anything like that16:33
holsteinmaybe http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk827/tk369/technologies_q_and_a_item09186a00800946ef.shtml16:33
JomikNah, just saw it XD16:33
JomikCisco, wut? XD16:34
holsteini think disabling the firewalls will make that kind of thing unecessary16:34
JomikI already tried disabling the firewalls :)16:34
holsteintried?16:34
Jomikon my win and on my linux :D16:34
holsteinor are they currently disabled?16:34
Jomikyeah, I disabled them, pinged, didn't work, enabled them16:34
holsteinright16:34
holsteinso, right now16:35
holsteinthey are enabled16:35
holsteinif it were me16:35
holsteini would disable them16:35
holsteinon the win boxes16:35
holsteinreboot them16:35
holsteincheck the IPs16:35
holsteinand try pinging16:35
holsteinanyways, i gotta run... BBL16:35
holsteingood luck :)16:35
JomikTy16:35
JomikThanks for your time :D16:35
JomikI found16:36

JomikBullshit16:36
Jomikgo away XD16:36
Jomiknot you udienz rofl :)16:36
udienzJomik, what's up?16:39
JomikI just wrote go away, as soon as you joined. lol16:44
JomikUmm lol, my Ubuntu suddenly stopped reacting to anything - no terminal commands, etc.16:50
AbhijiTJomik, can you go to tty? ctrl alt f1 etc?16:51
Jomiktried that too, no connections16:51
JomikI mean, no response*16:51
AbhijiTso you cant type command anyhow?16:51
JomikNope O.o But I managed to restart it through gnome. O.o TeamViewer stopped working and all.16:52
AbhijiTok16:52

ubot2Jomik: 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. :-)18:37
JomikLol bioterror :D It's because I can't ask a question since I'm not sure what the problem is... But netstat -tap | grep mysql shows .... LISTEN 3647/mysqld    but in the config file I've said that it should connect on port 3306???18:39

JomikI'll send you that in a pastebin, give me a sec18:44
Jomikhttp://pastebin.com/fWKG25Ds18:45
JomikI have no idea what that means :)18:45
bioterrorseems like something answered from the port 330618:45
JomikOooh, so the mysql might be running?18:48
JomikOr the port might be busy by something else?18:48
Justiceanyone knows how to unlock gnome keyring at login when using slim and openbox ?19:10
Jomikslim and openbox? :o I know it unlocks itself when you log in at the login screen XD19:11
Justicewell using slim and openbox it does not for me :/19:12
JomikDunno slim and openbox, sry :D I'm a noob at linux anyways... :(19:13
aveilleuxJustice: I think the GNOME keyring is designed for GDM, so I'm not sure you can unlock the keyring automatically if you're using SLiM19:18
Justiceaveilleux, I know but there must be a way to unlock after login..19:19
aveilleuxJustice: It should ask you for your password the first time you need it19:19
Justiceaveilleux, it does however typing it each time after login when connecting to wifi is a bit anoying19:20
aveilleuxJustice: This could be your answer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2524785&postcount=6819:23
Jomikaveilleux: I remember you to be pretty clever :D Do you think you can help me out set up mysql-server properly? For some weird reason it doesn't listen on the server I specify in the my.cnf, but it listens on some random one. It changes on each startup >.<19:32
iggy19hey all - i did a dumb thing that I can't seem to fix :(19:33
iggy19messed up my system panel - missing a bunch of pretty key icons19:34
iggy19including the network manager and the one that lets me shutdown/logoff/etc19:34
holsteiniggy19: gnome panel?19:34
iggy19uh, yes.  sorry.19:34
holsteinjust right click on it19:35
holsteingo to 'add to panel'19:35
aveilleuxiggy19: Right-click, add to panel, Indicator Applet Session19:35
holsteinand you'll see them there19:35
holsteinall the options :)19:35
iggy19I have my indicator applet, but not nm19:35
holsteinits there :)19:35
iggy19nor the power button19:35
aveilleuxiggy19: Indicator Applet Session is different from Indicator Applet19:35
holsteinin the menu19:35
aveilleuxiggy19: Also, try "notification area" as well19:35
holsteintheres not that many options really19:36
holsteinyou can just add them all19:36
holsteinand see what they do19:36
iggy19sorry... too many terms.  The "notification area" I definitely have19:36
holsteineasy to get rid of them19:36
holsteinas im sure you know19:36
iggy19when I right click on the panel I get a list of applets I can add.  You are right, there are not too many of them.  Network Manager does not seem to be one of them.19:37
holsteinyeah19:37
iggy19BTW: thanks for help!19:37
holsteinits not called that19:37
iggy19ah19:37
holsteinthere have been some changes in there19:37
holsteincustomizations19:37
aveilleuxiggy19: network-manager is under either Indicator Applet or Notification Area19:38
holsteinmostly handy improvements to functionality19:38
iggy19pretty stock install19:38
holsteinwhen you get rid of the power button19:38
iggy19Ah!  Okay, added Notification Area and got the nm back.  THANKS.19:39
holsteinshutdown *should* show up over under the 'system' menu19:39
holsteini kinda prefer that anyways19:39
iggy19shutdown is on the system menu.  Which is fine.  Actually I'm fine to shutdown with a shell command.  But I'd like to know how to fix what I broke.  Any idea how to get the power button icon back on the far right?19:40
aveilleuxurk19:40
holsteinnot that button ;)19:41
st33medDon't touch the red button19:46
iggy19alright, *that* was weird.19:46
iggy19As I was here chatting, the system *rapidly* decided to shut itself down, and wanted to fsck everything upon being powered back on.19:48
holsteinmaybe you hit the power button?19:48
holsteinby accident?19:48
holsteinand it was the scheduled disk check ?19:48
iggy19I have an error, which may be telling, upon logging back in: "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet"19:48
iggy19is there a chance that is the missing power button applet?19:48
iggy19And no, no chance I hit the physical power button.19:49
iggy19I know this is the noob channel, and I'm here 'cuz I got a pretty noobie problem, but I'm actually pretty computer savvy19:50
holsteini didnt mean any disrespect i assure you19:51
Justicehah fixed it by removing the default keyring19:51
iggy19holstein: none taken; I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to chat with me.  Just sayin', I know where the power button is and how long you have to hold it to power cycle this machine.  ;-)19:52
iggy19plus, it didn't hard power off, it very rapidly went through a very short (incomplete?) shutdown sequence.19:53
holsteinyeah19:54
holsteinsounded like what has happened to me when i just hit the power button on a few laptops19:54
holsteinby accident19:54
holsteinnot holding it down*19:54
holsteinprobably not the issue though19:54
holsteini just like to postulate scenarios where 'everthing is OK'19:55
holsteinOR at least, keep one around until its ruled out19:55
iggy19yeah, gotta brainstorm if you're going to troubleshoot.19:58
JomikCan I open IRC on ubuntu without having to isntall? XD19:58
Jomiknvm19:58
iggy19almost like it was trying to go into suspend due to low battery, and didn't make it all the way b/c the batt died.  Except that I'm plugged in and have a full battery.  Anywho, ignoring the unexpected shutdown for now.  Would like my power icon back.  And to know that the OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet is19:58
iggy19googling19:58
holsteinJomik: sure, assuming you have network access19:58
holsteiniggy19: hey, i did have that once19:58
holsteinwith an HP mininote19:58
holsteinthe battery reported something when i would unplug it19:58
holsteinno matter what the level19:59
holsteinsuspend19:59
holsteini did a gconf work-around i think19:59
iggy19Hmmm... going to assume it was a fluke unless it recurrs.  You could be right though.  I could have hit the power brick with my foot just enough to knock it loose for a second.20:00
holsteinplausible20:01
holsteinanyways20:01
holsteini have seen those errors20:01
iggy19fixed the other problem20:01
holsteinwith panel apples20:01
holsteinhehe20:01
holsteinapplets*20:01
iggy19yup yup20:01
holsteinfixed them different ways..20:01
holsteinyou got it sorted?20:01
iggy19so, I did an apt-get remove earlier today, that I think might have dumped more packages than I meant for it to.20:02
iggy19I just did apt-get install indicator-applet-session and then added that to my panel via right-click menu --> viola!20:03
iggy19power button is back20:03
holsteincool :)20:04
iggy19holstein: thank you so much for hanging out here and being helpful!20:06
holsteiniggy19: anytime20:06
holsteinlots of helpful folk here20:06
holsteinhelping each other20:06
iggy19Sometimes the hours of running down solutions on google gets really old.  Like, until I saw that error message (the reboot was really a blessing in disguise for that) I had no idea what that missing applet was even called, which makes it really hard to google for it.20:07
holsteinrealtime discussion even on IRC can help get the mind going in the right direction at least20:07
iggy19I'll do my part to lurk here some and try to repay the favor.  Plus, I'm sure to be stumped again soon.20:08
iggy19;-)20:08
holsteinhehe, thanks20:08
iggy19so, does apt-get sometimes expand terms it is passed without an explicit wildcard?20:09
iggy19that's something I've not encountered before.20:09
holsteinlike? apt-cache search chromium20:09
holsteinreturning a lot more that chromium?20:09
iggy19yeah20:10
holsteinim not positive, but i know the search does20:10
iggy19like I think I did "apt-get remove indicator-applet" and it ended up removing my "indicator-applet-session" without me explicitly asking for it.20:10
holsteinthat seems plausible too20:11
holsteini read those carefully now20:11
holsteinwith the audio metapackages i run20:11
iggy19I would have expected that of "..remove indicator-applet*", but it seems poor form to assume I wanted the expression expanded without me stating it20:11
holsteinsometimes trying to remove a plugin20:11
holsteinwill want to get rid of a bunch of stuff20:11
holsteiniggy19: agreed20:12
holsteinnot sure how to address that though20:12
aveilleuxiggy19: indicator-applet-session depends on indicator-applet.20:12
aveilleuxiggy19: If you remove a dependency, then the broken package is removed as well.20:13
iggy19okay, since I got your ear, do you know why apt-get sometimes asks you to confirm the action before it executes it, and othertimes it just flies right into executing the command?20:13
aveilleuxiggy19: Using the -y flag will fly right into the action20:13
iggy19ah, that explains it.  I removed a something that -session dpended on, so it pulled -session rather than leave it installed but broken20:13
aveilleuxiggy19: Also, if you're only adding or removing a single package then it'll assume you want to continue (since there is nothing being installed/removed that you didn't explicitly say)20:14
iggy19then when I added back "indicator-applet" it didn't automagically give me back the -session, which seems, actually, like the proper behavior20:14
aveilleuxiggy19: yup20:14
iggy19aveilleux: oh, you said that above (in fewer words) while I was typing and not reading.  lol.20:15
iggy19Okay all, thanks again.  I'm back to my cassoulet-making.20:16
holsteinim about to try and make a custom iso20:21
holsteinlive disc20:22
holsteini need to have some wifi access saved on them20:22
holsteinanyone dealt with that?20:22
holsteini was thinking remastersys would let me copy exactly the environment in everyway20:22
holsteinim still not sure im comfortable doing a chroot20:23
=== Guest95795 is now known as me1
iggy19is there a way to tell the idicator-applet and/or the notification area what icons to display?20:46
iggy19Like, I prefer the battery meter in "notifications", but I like the sound panel in "indicator" - contrawise, I don't use evolution, so, I'd really like that icon to go away...20:48
holsteini add gnome-volume-control-applet20:49
holsteinto startup applications20:49
holsteinin gnome20:49
holsteinas a work around20:49
holsteinthe icon is old-school-ish20:50
iggy19holstein: I tried it earlier today and removed it.  Will give it another go and see if it grows on me.20:51
iggy19ah yes, no mute option on left-click; have to right click to mute.20:51
holsteiniggy19: i dont do it on every machine20:51
holsteinits the 'social from the start' initiative20:52
iggy19maybe I'll just skip the volume control.  I did get the OSD linked to my hardware volume buttons working.20:52
ekoekoim new to ubuntu and programming how do i locate a folder  im trying to find "~/.vim/ftplugin" i assume the ~ means home but i cant find that folder21:37
aveilleuxekoeko: directories with a period in front of them are hidden. In Nautilus (file browser), hit Ctrl+H to show them.21:47
ekoekoperfect thanks!21:50
