| JWay | usr13, wicd did the trick together with sudo rfkill unblock wifi - thank you so much! must be a bug with natty and iwlagn... | 00:00 |
| rafii | zookalicious: in my opinion it depend how much someone modificate original system, if more non-stock configuration/modification = greater chance of encounter problem during updating | 00:00 |
| jiohdi | Galerien: or file bug reports | 00:00 |

| george_ | Good evening. I've tried to upgrade my distro, but there were some troubles. I'm currently stucked, due to the command sudo apt-get dist-upgrade results in the following http://pastie.org/1845252. Could someone help me to solve that? Thanks. | 00:01 |
| zookalicious | rafi - I would agree with that statement. However I remember my upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 was when I had nothing configured special and that broke hard. Luck of the draw I suspect | 00:01 |
| zorlem | george_, it looks like there is some unexpected package versions | 00:01 |
| ohsix | zetheroo: why? so people can see a menu they can't do anything with anyways? you're presuming an educated user, an educated user can already get what they want with the classic session | 00:01 |
| likki | Hi, my internet/browser on ubuntu 10.04 has been acting weird for the past couple of days. When I click on a link on google search, it would redirect me to google.com. Sometimes clicking a link on a webpage would redirect me to twitter. And sometimes it would give me a google 404 error. I cannot think of anything that might have caused this and this happens randomly. | 00:01 |
| zorlem | george_: are you sure you didn't mix two ubuntu versions? | 00:02 |
| TerryBook | ok. minimizing to the system tray does *not* work in Unity | 00:02 |
| LAcan | anyone know if kismet appeneds or overwrites log files? | 00:02 |
| Sylphid | Eathuz, whats the error message displayed? | 00:02 |
| Captainkrtek | is anyone using natty and has a printer? | 00:02 |
| Captainkrtek | if so PM me please | 00:02 |
| nutsfornatty | the system tray is obsolete in unity afaik | 00:02 |
| ohsix | TerryBook: that would be an application feature | 00:03 |
| pp7_ | nutsfornatty: where does stuff go then? in the unity bar? | 00:03 |
| ohsix | nutsfornatty: indeed, you need to whitelist things that work for them to even show up | 00:03 |
| rafii | zookalicious: yep, older versions was more problematic :) hopefully newer version will be better :D | 00:03 |
| Captainkrtek | who here is using Natty? | 00:03 |
| Monotoko | ohsix...skype was showing up in my systray fine? | 00:04 |
| ohsix | who isn't, did you have a question | 00:04 |
| Captainkrtek | do any of you have a printer set up with natty? | 00:04 |
| zetheroo | ohsix: why do you keep referring to the "classic session" as a solution? It's another session entirely ... and it's not the future, or what is meant to be the future, of Ubuntu ... so as I see it what needs to be focused on is Unity and NOT the previous stuff ... but we should not be removing features or usability from the previous sessions either ... | 00:04 |
| ohsix | Monotoko: whitelisted | 00:04 |
| Captainkrtek | verifying some ubuntu documentation ohsix | 00:04 |
| TerryBook | if you try to minimize a program (such as xchat, for example) it vanishes completely. the only way to get it back is to open another instance of the program, and kill the inaccessible process from the system monitor | 00:04 |
| pp7_ | ohsix: how do u whitelist? | 00:04 |
| ohsix | zetheroo: it's also not the past, they are concurrent | 00:04 |
| TerryBook | minimize to system tray, I mean | 00:04 |
| Monotoko | ohsix, I see...as a developer do I need to get things whitelisted in order to make them appear in the system tray now..? | 00:04 |
| Eathuz | Sylphid, it's the basic: "Boot Error" - "DISK BOOT FAILURE INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" | 00:05 |
| nutsfornatty | pp7_: you get a launcher icon for unity. and certain apps are allowed to place icons/info in the top bar (like the system indicators) .. and thats it | 00:05 |
| Captainkrtek | ohsix, are you on natty? | 00:05 |
| zetheroo | ohsix: well ... on one level, perhaps ... but in Ubuntu it is obvious that Unity is the future | 00:05 |
| ohsix | zetheroo: you are making an argument for no change at all, unity would be useless if that were the case, if you do not want something different, use what is familiar | 00:05 |
| rafii | who in this channel switch back to good old gnome2 classic panels from unity? | 00:05 |
| fermisan | guys | 00:05 |
| zetheroo | ohsix: Unity is now! | 00:05 |
| next8 | hi everyone | 00:05 |
| LordFDisk | wow.... I have downloaded 11.04 havt not yet DNR but really so much backlashing at each other in the room .... I hope things calm down later on tonight. I remember the good old days where you only got command line at boot | 00:05 |
| fermisan | how likely is the new ubuntu update to brick my machine | 00:05 |
| ohsix | zetheroo: don't be stupid, unity is a plugin for compiz | 00:05 |
| fermisan | its 44 megs | 00:05 |
| fermisan | what the fcuk | 00:05 |
| Captainkrtek | fermisan, you can never "brick" a computer really unless hardware fails | 00:06 |
| fermisan | i know | 00:06 |
| Monotoko | fermisan, very slim chance but do back up | 00:06 |
| nutsfornatty | fermisan: not likely if you are careful about your gfx drivers | 00:06 |
| RAMPKORV | snopp | 00:06 |
| Captainkrtek | +1 ^ | 00:06 |
| fermisan | meh its still beta | 00:06 |
| zetheroo | ohsix: that's ridiculous .... change is not the issue ... as long as it's ADDING to the whole experience and NOT removing | 00:06 |
| Captainkrtek | fermisan, I upgraded fine | 00:06 |
| ohsix | Monotoko: theres an article on the wiki about it, basically if it fits the aesthetic/function standards it will be whitelisted | 00:06 |
| Monotoko | fermisan, it isn't beta | 00:06 |
| Sylphid | Captainkrtek, sure you can... bad bios flash | 00:06 |
| fermisan | Monotoko: it isn't? | 00:06 |
| Captainkrtek | Sylphid, that as well | 00:06 |
| fermisan | its finished? | 00:06 |
| Captainkrtek | fermisan, yes | 00:06 |
| Monotoko | fermisan, nope it was released today | 00:06 |
| ohsix | zetheroo: follow that thread, you keep adding and not removing, what do you get? | 00:06 |
| fermisan | idk guys | 00:06 |
| Captainkrtek | fermisan, check the homepage | 00:06 |
| fermisan | is 11.4 any good | 00:07 |
| fermisan | i feel like it is a android copy | 00:07 |
| Captainkrtek | fermisan, it's pretty good, still getting used to it | 00:07 |
| nutsfornatty | sometimes removal is better for the greater good, i dislike iOS but i admire the "unity" of the overall interface across apps (pun intended) | 00:07 |
| fermisan | >getting used to | 00:07 |
| Monotoko | fermisan, it all depends...I personally like unity, others despise it | 00:07 |
| zetheroo | ohsix: you know what I mean ... adding but not removing key features or usability | 00:07 |
| skulltip | anyone not have troubles with 11.04, upgrade go smooth as silk? | 00:07 |
| fermisan | well you convinced me not to use it | 00:07 |
| ohsix | zetheroo: the useful moves are removing old things you thought you were wed to; then you get a completely new experience and get to decide if it's sufficient | 00:07 |
| fermisan | is the old interface still avalible | 00:07 |
| Cryovat | Unity is decent if you're on a single screen with somewhat low resolution | 00:07 |
| fermisan | i hate the new look | 00:07 |
| Captainkrtek | fermisan, I come from gnome, unity is a bit different in terms of how im used to using ubuntu | 00:07 |
| Monotoko | fermisan, yes | 00:07 |
| ohsix | zetheroo: there is no panel; the panel did all the things you desire, full stop | 00:08 |
| Captainkrtek | I dont think it handles dual displays well enough yet | 00:08 |
| fermisan | Monotoko: how do i get it | 00:08 |
| rafii | skulltip: my upgrade 10.10->11.04 was fine :) | 00:08 |
| Cryovat | If you have two screens, the top menu and launcher bar becomes terrible | 00:08 |
| Captainkrtek | nutsfornatty, you have a printer installed in natty? | 00:08 |
| nutsfornatty | test unity for a week, make sure to use keyboard shortcuts and try to think of the OS in terms of full screen apps. | 00:08 |
| Monotoko | fermisan, just choose "ubuntu classic" when you log in | 00:08 |
| Cryovat | Tbh | 00:08 |
| zetheroo | ohsix: well having a menu which makes me have to make more clicks to get to an app than before is NOT sufficient ... | 00:08 |
| Cryovat | Gnome 3 works much better than Unity imo | 00:08 |
| Monotoko | zetheroo...just use the super key | 00:08 |
| ohsix | Cryovat: not many people use multiple monitors, you should see about communicating how it can be improved | 00:08 |
| RAMPKORV | The problem I had was that Xinerama doesn't seem to work in Unity | 00:08 |
| ohsix | zetheroo: then you use what is | 00:08 |
| TerryBook | what's the "super key"? | 00:08 |
| Captainkrtek | does anyone have a printer installed in Natty? | 00:08 |
| api1996 | Hey everyone. I'm running 10.10 on a wubi install. Has anyone reported success updating a wubi install from 10.10 to 11.04? | 00:09 |
| Sylphid | Eathuz, is the usb device plugged into a front or rear port? | 00:09 |
| zetheroo | Monotoko: how does that go? | 00:09 |
| nutsfornatty | captainkrek: not yet, i have an hp wireless laser printer. going to be troublesome getting that to work | 00:09 |
| Monotoko | TerryBook, the WIndows key | 00:09 |
| RAMPKORV | So I'm using Twinview, but full-sceen apps don't work so well | 00:09 |
| Eathuz | Sylphid, thanks for trying to help. I gave up and spent 10 minutes trying to find an empty CD. Found one and it's booting fine. I guess USB booting is simply out of the question | 00:09 |
| Cryovat | ohsix: The general problem is that application switching has turned really inconvenient | 00:09 |
| kzman | hi, how can i upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04? | 00:09 |
| zetheroo | ohsix: haha ... and your back to that ;) | 00:09 |
| Monotoko | zetheroo, it brings up a menu which you can seatch from | 00:09 |
| Cryovat | And I hate how they copied the mac menu | 00:09 |
| Cryovat | It's terrible | 00:09 |
| Captainkrtek | nutsfornatty, verifying the ubuntu-doc for the printing setup | 00:09 |
| TerryBook | ahh, ok | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | kzman: through 10.10, and it will be a bit slow at the moment | 00:09 |
| ohsix | RAMPKORV: nice, thats tough though, the proprietary drivers only do xinerama; and they fake it, and only because the drivers don't do xrandr 1.2+ | 00:09 |
| Cryovat | WOrks on a netbook, but on a full desktop, it just fails | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | it seems | 00:09 |
| Eathuz | Sylphid, tried both, no improvement. But it doesn't matter anyway. Thanks for taking your time :) | 00:09 |
| zetheroo | Monotoko: yeah ... that is kinda what I have been talking about ... | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | !upgrade | kzman | 00:09 |

| nutsfornatty | app switching is easy, i use 8 virtual windows and win+s or win+w | 00:10 |
| api1996 | will updating a wubi install of 10.10 to 11.04 work? | 00:10 |
| Sylphid | Eathuz, no problem... sorry i couldnt help, though it may be a bios bug you may want to try updating, i cant think of any other reason if it worked fine on another box | 00:10 |
| RAMPKORV | ohsix, when playing games in Fullscreen, I get a fullscreen across two 16:9 screens, which isn't so pretty | 00:10 |
| RAMPKORV | :D | 00:10 |
| Cryovat | It's ok if you're using keyboard | 00:10 |
| Monotoko | api1996, it should do | 00:10 |
| joepa | Monotoko: I right click, choose "Keep in Launcher," logout, log back in, and it's gone | 00:10 |
| Sexygurl2furl | is it normal for the upgrade download to take forever? | 00:10 |
| RAMPKORV | But I'm not really doing it much, so | 00:10 |
| Cryovat | But with a mouse, it's a big hassle | 00:10 |
| ohsix | RAMPKORV: thank nvidia :D | 00:10 |
| pylix | when does 10.10 stop being supported? | 00:10 |
| joepa | Monotoko: am I missing something? | 00:10 |
| Captainkrtek | if anyone has a printer installed in Natty please please PM me | 00:10 |
| api1996 | thanks monotoko | 00:10 |
| zetheroo | Monotoko: see that is well and all if you know the app your looking for ... although it still involves typing .. more work than before again ... but say you want to look at all your apps in a category ... ... it is not as quick as before | 00:10 |
| nutsfornatty | cryovat: what OS do you find is easier for app switching? | 00:11 |
| ohsix | RAMPKORV: you could try the nouveau driver, it does xrandr | 00:11 |
| Eathuz | Sylphid, I agree. I'll try that later on. It's rather late here, so didn't think that far :) | 00:11 |
| Cryovat | nutsfornatty: It worked great in Gnome 2 with a panel with a task switcher on each screen | 00:11 |
| Sylphid | pylix, 2 years of support if i remember correctly | 00:11 |
| RAMPKORV | ohsix, aye | 00:11 |
| pylix | okay thanks | 00:11 |
| Cryovat | Gnome 3 also works very nice out of the box for switching apps on multiple screens | 00:11 |
| === lopi_ is now known as Lopi | ||
| ohsix | zetheroo: not as quick for your trained behaviour, someone with different experience will have different circumstance | 00:11 |
| RAMPKORV | I hope it does Geforce 210 well | 00:11 |
| Monotoko | joepa...that should work...is it a new install or did you update? and zetheroo, I like to use my mouse as little as possible, find it slows me down | 00:12 |
| fermisan | update is still slow as fuck | 00:12 |
| joepa | Monotoko: update | 00:12 |
| joepa | Monotoko: from 10.10 | 00:12 |
| Sexygurl2furl | <Sexygurl2furl> is it normal for the upgrade download to take forever? | 00:12 |
| Cryovat | Unity feels like it's designed without taking high resolutions or multiple screens into account at all | 00:12 |
| zetheroo | Monotoko: hectic ;) | 00:12 |
| Blue1 | fermisan: d/l the iso now, what can I expect? | 00:12 |
| rafii | unity not improve workflow, it's only eye-candy... | 00:12 |
| nutsfornatty | cryovat: i see your point. perhaps a few indicators for windows and window switching that can be customized would improve the mouse workflow | 00:12 |
| Monotoko | joepa, sounds like a permissions issue to me...not quite sure which file it will be though | 00:12 |
| Sexygurl2furl | can somebody pls help me????? | 00:12 |
| yofel | pylix: nope, 12 months from now https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 00:12 |
| Cryovat | The solution is pretty easy raelly | 00:12 |
| Cryovat | *really | 00:12 |
| Monotoko | joepa, try to make a new account and see if it does the same | 00:12 |
| Cryovat | One launcher per screen | 00:12 |
| zetheroo | ohsix: true, hence why not accommodate both behaviours!? | 00:12 |
| ohsix | Cryovat: thats not far from the truth; you know netbook sales swamp notebook sales right? and notebooks beat desktop sales | 00:13 |
| joepa | Monotoko: good idea | 00:13 |

| Cryovat | If you're designing a desktop environment for general use across all form factors, then you need to make it scalable | 00:13 |
| ohsix | zetheroo: you are one person, introduce a third with different experience from the first, accomodate all 3? | 00:13 |
| Sylphid | pylix, sorry was wrong 1.5 years | 00:13 |
| TerryBook | Soothsayer: no. MAC address is hardcoded into the network card | 00:13 |
| pp7_ | Soothsayer: not unless u tell them to | 00:13 |
| zetheroo | ohsix: anyhow ... it's going to be ok ... just make me change my computing habits ... yet again :P | 00:13 |
| ohsix | zetheroo: take that to the possible number of all possible linuxusers | 00:13 |
| Cryovat | The Unity team seem like they just ignored scaling at all, and then at the end of the design process realized that someone might be running two screens | 00:14 |

| nutsfornatty | cryovat: im sure someone will expand upon the basic unity configuration options. till then, we still have classic ubuntu as an option | 00:14 |
| ohsix | zetheroo: thats just to say, the important thing is you are advocating your preference, which is fine but not objective, and as stated already would lead to no change | 00:14 |
| Cryovat | Yeah | 00:14 |
| zetheroo | ohsix: look mate, there is nothing new or crazy about making your bleeding main menu customisable ... nothing new about that at all ... it's nothing complex either ... so it should be in here ... period | 00:15 |

| Monotoko | crazed]psyc, I believe so | 00:15 |

| crazed]psyc | Is there a FOSS replacement for ath9k? | 00:16 |
| nutsfornatty | cryovat: i like the indicator change. far too many apps put needless icons in the task bars | 00:16 |
| Cryovat | Yeah | 00:16 |

| bastidrazor | Soothsayer: then get a router that allows you to set its mac address | 00:16 |
| ohsix | i think a whitelist would have been a good start | 00:16 |
| zetheroo | ohsix: that's rubbish ... your saying that someone new to Ubuntu who uses Unity as their first desktop is not going to want to customise anything? rubbish | 00:16 |

| likki | Hi, my internet/browser on ubuntu 10.04 has been acting weird for the past couple of days. When I click on a link on google search, it would redirect me to google.com. Sometimes clicking a link on a webpage would redirect me to twitter. And sometimes it would give me a google 404 error.

| ohsix | Chubcorp: how do you tell what? you should try deja-dup, it's nice; and will start missed backups when you plug the backup volume back in | 00:28 |
| talntid | Chubcorp, mount the external hard drive. if it's already mounted, find out where by typing "mount" - then, just specify it's mount location when backing up. | 00:28 |

| Mahjongg | hello, I'd like to record a pronounciation from google translate. how can I record it? | 00:41 |
| chilipep4 | sebsebseb: anyways, the only way i can get around it is to change the session to "xterm" instead of gnome. | 00:41 |
| likki | sebsebseb: how do I change the setting to show 10.10? | 00:41 |

| Paolo_CT | HI there, the link to download the 11.04 Netbook version (Torrent) is broken | 00:42 |
| Paolo_CT | This is the link: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-netbook-i386.iso.torrent | 00:42 |
| chotaz | [dlp]: I don't really know, I was at the mall, and I only knew of the blackout because the entire more went out of light too. when I left home it had just started downloading the 1615 files it needed. | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | ah yes thsi channel and the attacks! | 00:42 |
| mala85 | What is the best way to install Gnome3/Gnome-Shell on 11.04? Is it to start with Kubuntu so as not to get into conflicts with Gnome2/Unity? | 00:42 |
| acicula | ohsix: please dont harass volunteers, recommending encrypted home and setting a good password is a perfectly acceptable recommendation | 00:42 |
| hypetech | ohsix: we'll have to agree to disagree in this particular instance, but I do appreciate your input :) | 00:42 |
| ohsix | hypetech: much like a gun without a lock won't be protected by your front door if it can just be kicked in | 00:42 |
| KNUBBIG | mala85: the PPA for gnome shell crashes Unity, true, so Kubuntu could be nice | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | likki: look around for the setting I guess | 00:42 |
| TerryBook | how do I access growl? | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | !upgrade | likki | 00:42 |
| ubottu | likki: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 00:42 |
| [dlp] | chotaz: You could probably recover the filesystem but the software will likely be in an inconsistent state. | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | likki: also trying to upgrade to 10.10 and such now would be slow | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | probably | 00:42 |
| cdavis | jiohdi: it says google chrome 32 bit does not match my amd64 system and won't install | 00:42 |
| chilipep4 | sebsebseb: clean install -- just a couple of days ago. | 00:42 |
| kyle__ | well at least i got it to boot from USB but seemed to hang on purple screen, beta 2 worked fine, updated itself and booted me into unity, cannot do it with fnal version | 00:43 |
| chotaz | [dlp]: fresh install is my best way out? | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | chilipep4: hmm maybe give 11.04 a try, or some other distro :D | 00:43 |
| happyface | blinking cursor after grub on new 11.04 (installed with alternative usb), what can I do? | 00:43 |
| [dlp] | chotaz: I would, probably. | 00:43 |
| mala85 | KNUBBIG: Thank you. | 00:43 |
| [dlp] | chotaz: Use a liveCD to do a backup first (if you haven't already). | 00:43 |
| Mahjongg | how can I record some audio that is already playing on my system? | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | mala85: ok you awnt Gnome Shell :) | 00:44 |
| commodore64th | talntid, gconftool-2 didn't work... | 00:44 |
| ohsix | acicula: it is not, unless you tell people they can lose access to their information if it is damaged or they forget their passphrase as well; or that i t essentially can't be changed without recreating the volume, there is a _lot_ with suggesting people ust encrypt everything with no regard to why, it is not free and often doesn't get them what they actually want either | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | want | 00:44 |
| chilipep4 | sebsebseb: oh. i've used ubuntu -- installed off of the very same disk -- without problems for about half a year now. | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | mala85: you don't quite get the proper expereince with the Gnome 3 ppa, but if it works for you, should be good enough for now I guess | 00:44 |
| chotaz | [dlp]: that really sucks, I was halfway through my final project.. oh wait, I just started using ubuntu as my main OS, never remember about live CD's [/freakoutmode] | 00:44 |
| === Guest63478 is now known as Dread | ||
| happyface | blinking cursor after grub on new 11.04 (installed with alternative usb), what can I do? | 00:44 |
| acicula | ohsix: when people enable the encrypted home they get a big warning about just that and how to recover their data in case of problems | 00:44 |
| chilipep4 | sebsebseb: i simply tried reinstalling -- worked fine until about the 4-th reboot, and now the "gnome" sessions won't work | 00:45 |
| KNUBBIG | sebsebseb: but using the PPA will crash Unity, so one should be careful with it | 00:45 |
| ohsix | acicula: does it tell them about changing their authentication information? | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | mala85: ,but you will probably have issues trying to load up Unity if you install it, like KNUBBIG is pointing out | 00:45 |
| mala85 | sebsebseb: Hm. Maybe I will wait a few days - 'till the dust settles :) | 00:45 |
| chotaz | [dlp]: just one side question, what's the right swap size? | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | !gnome3 | mala85 | 00:45 |
| ubottu | mala85: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are _experimental_, _unstable_ and may break your system. | 00:45 |
| mmjunaid | hi all | 00:45 |
| [dlp] | chotaz: There's no simple answer to that. | 00:46 |
| KNUBBIG | will break is more correct x) | 00:46 |
| ohsix | acicula: password rotation is going to do a lot more good with casual intrusions than an encrypted volume will, the volume will be mounted the entire lifetime of the machine being on, you can't unmount it | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | mala85: http://askubuntu.com/questions/22946/how-do-i-install-the-latest-version-of-gnome-3 | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | mala85: no that's it now, 11.04 will only get security updates now | 00:46 |
| sgaap | if you dont want to use unity its safe to install the gnome 3 ppa | 00:46 |
| mmjunaid | just upgraded to ubuntu 11.04 on my desktop and now after i choose the os in Grub there is a blank screen and no disk activity... | 00:46 |
| chilipep4 | sebsebseb: so, based on this, i'm sure it's a relatively trivial problem, but i'm not sure with what. | 00:46 |
| mmjunaid | please help me | 00:46 |
| ohsix | chotaz: if you want to hibernate, at least 2/3rds the ram you have | 00:46 |
| [dlp] | chotaz: How much RAM you got? | 00:46 |
| KNUBBIG | !ask | mmjunaid | 00:46 |
| ubottu | mmjunaid: 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. :-) | 00:46 |
| Logan_ | KNUBBIG: he already did | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | mmjunaid: ok sounds like the upgrade gone wrong on you | 00:47 |
| KNUBBIG | oh sorry | 00:47 |
| acicula | ohsix: again i would like to suggest ##security or offtopic as the venue to continue this discussion | 00:47 |
| KNUBBIG | didn't see it | 00:47 |
| chotaz | [dlp]: 12GBs | 00:47 |
| Logan_ | KNUBBIG: no problem | 00:47 |
| ohsix | chotaz: if you havelike 16gb of ram you can use less, since it won't all be in use :D | 00:47 |
| mala85 | sebsebseb: The gnome3-team PPA will not be continuously updated? | 00:47 |
| Soothsayer | DCC exploit .. wtf :-| | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | mala85: yes they will keep it up to date, it seems | 00:47 |
| ohsix | acicula: you cant make suppositions then not accept the answer & redirect | 00:47 |
| mmjunaid | yes,seems so, but i have clue after reading few google results, | 00:47 |
| Soothsayer | Kevin`: still around? got disconnected | 00:47 |
| JaymesKeller | Hi, I'm trying to access my NTFS RAID partition in 11.04. How do I get access into it from Ubuntu? | 00:47 |
| IdleOne | Soothsayer: don't do that. you can be k-lines from freenode for it :) | 00:47 |
| stefg | chotaz: if you plan on suspending your machine you need at least your ram size (plus some) . for the average modern machine (which rarely swaps) 1 G is usually enough | 00:47 |
| ohsix | it is plainly bad advice | 00:47 |
| [dlp] | chotaz: With that much RAM you don't really need swap unless you want to use hibernate. | 00:47 |
| === sidnei_ is now known as sidnie | ||
| KNUBBIG | JaymesKeller: did it work for you under 10.10? | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | mala85: for the 100% full proper Gnome 3 expereince, wait untill 11.10 when it Ubuntu uses Gnome Shell, or use another dsitro that has full Gnome 3 by default, but like I said if the ppa works for you, should be good enough for now really | 00:48 |
| mmjunaid | I have NVidia card and when i press the auto set button on the monitor, it say set a lower resolution | 00:48 |
| Kevin` | Soothsayer: pong | 00:48 |
| === sidnie is now known as sidnei | ||
| JaymesKeller | KNUBBIG: Yes, it did work under 10.10. | 00:48 |
| chotaz | [dlp]: it's a lapop so yeah, hibernating is helpful. | 00:48 |
| [dlp] | chotaz: Or you're running something insanely memory-hungry. | 00:48 |
| chotaz | laptop* | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | mala85: when Ubuntu uses Gnome 3 on the backend, I mean above, I typed wrong thing | 00:48 |
| Kevin` | Soothsayer: why would it end up being sda1? I would expect the windows c: partition to be sda1 | 00:48 |
| ohsix | [dlp]: i always suggest at least 512m even if you have lots of ram;if only because there are pages in the vm that need never exist in memory in most cases & would just waste ram | 00:48 |
| Kevin` | Soothsayer: nor should you specifically change the numbers around (you'll confuse windows) | 00:48 |

| ohsix | [dlp]: mine is 3g, swap is usually 1-4g in use | 00:50 |
| mala85 | Ok. Seems I need a test computer for Gnome-Shell on 11.04. Can't risk using it as the primary OS currently I guess :) | 00:50 |
| likki | I'm still not sure if I should download it. | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | mmjunaid: or maybe simpalley Grub is pointing to the wrong partition | 00:50 |
| ohsix | [dlp]: my working set is huge though, i really should get more ram | 00:50 |
| chotaz | [dlp]: ohsix: so I guess 4GB swap is more than enough? for my 12GB machine that is | 00:50 |

| [dlp] | chotaz: That is, when all RAM + swap space has been used. | 00:51 |

| ohsix | which is why, practically speaking; i use hibernate a lot | 00:55 |
| [dlp] | ohsix: Interesting. | 00:55 |
| ohsix | JaymesKeller: you probably have to install dmraid, rebuild your ramfs & reboot | 00:56 |
| mordof | oh how i dislike problems with grub.. *sighs* So i did the install to 11.04 from 10.10, and now grub is dropping me to a repair command line, do i need to get a 11.04 live cd to fix it? or can i fix it in my 10.10 live cd? | 00:56 |
| [dlp] | I don't use suspend much either. I don't think my laptop has ever gone into hibernation that way. | 00:56 |
| entity | wow that wasn't annoying. | 00:56 |
| ohsix | mordof: is grub doing it or is it a busybox prompt? | 00:56 |

| ohsix | [dlp]: i rely on keeping my work around heavily, like months of suspends & a few hibernates | 00:57 |
| mmjunaid | sebsebseb, fdisk -l shows that the sda6 is the linux partition and pressing e on the boot menu item shows like this, set root='(hd0,msdos6)' is that ok ? | 00:57 |
| ohsix | mordof: if it doesn't say busybox don't worry about it | 00:57 |

| mordof | ohsix: ok, then i guess it's not that. | 00:57 |
| commodore64th | does anyone know what the default window manager for natty is? | 00:57 |
| acicula | unity | 00:58 |
| mordof | stefg: yeah, just that grub got updated with 11.04, so i'm thinking there may be version problems | 00:58 |
| ohsix | commodore64th: compiz with the unity plugin | 00:58 |
| nutsfornatty | unity | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | mmjunaid: I don't really know about configuring Grub 2 that much, you may be better off re installing with 11.04, yep a clean install | 00:58 |
| commodore64th | do you know how I can reset my compiz settings to their default values? | 00:58 |
| lcb | mordof, can you get grub menu? (SHIFT after bios loading and before grub - then recovery) | 00:58 |

| kbrosnan | cat problem | 01:05 |
| entity | lol | 01:05 |
| KNUBBIG | thebigroflz: what's the problem? | 01:05 |
| [dlp] | lol | 01:05 |
| nowherefast | is anyone farmiliar with blacklisting drivers and would be able to help? | 01:05 |
| thebigroflz | I don't want to be asked to enter my keyring password everytime to enable the wireless, but the option is faded | 01:06 |
| kbrosnan | nowherefast: blacklisting drivers on what? | 01:06 |
| thebigroflz | like when I log back in, the "automatically unlock..." option is faded and cant be set | 01:06 |
| visual1ce | anybody used the upgrade feature to 11.04 from 10.10 in udpate manager? | 01:06 |
| entity | [dlp]: it returned my prompt. | 01:06 |
| lcb | KNUBBIG, yes. hopefully you don't have any pop-up prompts in meanwhile | 01:06 |
| nowherefast | kbrosnan: i am trying to uninstall my current wifi driver | 01:06 |
| === Soothsayer_ is now known as Soothsayer | ||
| [dlp] | entity: Good. | 01:07 |
| nowherefast | kbrosnan: so that i can install a new driver with ndiswrap | 01:07 |
| thebigroflz | anyone know how to fix/enable this? | 01:07 |
| entity | [dlp]: sweet write rights are back. thanks | 01:07 |
| KNUBBIG | lcb: I'll freak out if I get up and it still says 2h to go, do you want to do that and that ;D | 01:07 |
| kbrosnan | nowherefast: oh different drivers, was thinking video | 01:07 |
| [dlp] | entity: Be careful. | 01:07 |
| ohsix | thebigroflz: do you have ubuntu log you in without a password? if you do, it won't unlock the keyring for you automatically, and you'll get the joy of unlocking it for just about every access | 01:07 |
| lcb | KNUBBIG, just sleep well and don't have bad dreams about the end of the world :p | 01:07 |
| nowherefast | kbrosnan:from what i understand i need to blacklist the current wifi driver and uninstall the module | 01:07 |
| commodore64th | whew! deleting my compiz settings fixed all my worries. | 01:07 |
| KNUBBIG | oh but it probably will do as some config files etc from grub got modified :@ | 01:07 |
| tamer | Need help with fixing this wireless problem after upgrading to 11.04. I can't view wireless connections using nm-applet, the drivers seem to be installed and the interface is up. Any suggestions? | 01:08 |
| mordof | lcb: tried.. i get this: error: symbol not found: 'grub_env_export'. grub rescue> | 01:08 |
| thebigroflz | ohsix, yes ubuntu logs me in automatically everytime. so theres no way to have both then? | 01:08 |
| nowherefast | tamer: you're probably having the same problem i am currently having | 01:08 |
| KNUBBIG | ah a question just came to my mind: Is it better to use the new config file, for example for GRUB, than my 'old', modified one? | 01:08 |
| nowherefast | tamer:have you tried connecting with wicd? | 01:08 |
| mordof | lcb: same as if i didn't hit shift (kept hitting to make sure it was getting the right time) | 01:08 |
| lcb | mordof, so you do really need the help of a live cd/usb | 01:08 |
| KNUBBIG | lcb: I'll try, thanks :) | 01:08 |
| tamer | nowherefast, nope, what do you mean? | 01:08 |
| mordof | lcb: *nods* but my question is, does it have to be 11.04 live, or can i use the 10.10 live i'm on currently? | 01:08 |
| ohsix | thebigroflz: but in this case in particular you can bypass the problem by setting "Available for all users" in the connection properties, it will make it a system connection and store the password somewhere else, and as a bonus it'll come up way before you log in :] | 01:09 |
| mordof | lcb: that's how i'm here now is the 10.10 live cd | 01:09 |
| nowherefast | tamer: type sudo apt-get install wicd | 01:09 |
| escott | thebigroflz, no if you want to tinker you could try and get a usb key to do your decrypting, but then you would have to take lots of stuff out of the encrypted partition http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/02/how-encrypted-home-ecryptfs-works.html | 01:09 |
| nowherefast | tamer: then open it and try to connect to a network | 01:09 |
| alien-007 | unable to mount 10GB filesystem Error mounting:exited with code 18:Failed to write lock '/dev/sda1': Resource temporarily unavailable | 01:09 |
| lcb | mordof, sure because most of the system is now 11.04, isn't? | 01:09 |
| alien-007 | how can i deal with that erroe ? | 01:09 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: um, don't tell people to install wicd | 01:09 |
| mordof | lcb: indeed. | 01:09 |
| entity | [dlp]: edited the file. | 01:09 |
| mordof | lcb: does the live cd come with the capabilities to burn a cd? | 01:09 |
| entity | [dlp]: still get the error | 01:10 |
| * mordof wonders how that would go with only one drive | 01:10 | |
| [dlp] | entity: You reboote3d? | 01:10 |
| _stev_ | ok, if anyone cares grub2 has a problem with lvm volumes with dashes, anyone knows how I can rename an lvm logical volume? | 01:10 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: it has worked for me in the past | 01:10 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: what wifi chip do you have? it sounds like you've gotten some awesomely bad advice | 01:10 |
| lcb | mordof, go easy with that. in meanwhile backup your /home /etc and /usr dirs | 01:10 |
| entity | [dlp]: yeah | 01:10 |
| stefg | alien-007: what type of file system is that? | 01:10 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: i have intel 3945abg | 01:10 |
| [dlp] | Um. Ok. That's weird. | 01:10 |
| KNUBBIG | Is it better to use the new 11.04 config file, for example for GRUB, than my 'old', modified one? | 01:10 |
| thebigroflz | ohsix, thank you, I found the option, let me test by rebooting | 01:10 |
| alien-007 | im booting on a mac ibook g4 | 01:10 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: no reason to keep repeating it, if theres a problem with networkmanager it should be fixed | 01:10 |
| lcb | mordof, yes, you could burn cd/s with it | 01:10 |
| entity | [dlp]: I'm just gonna reinstall maverick from CD and then try again. | 01:10 |
| alien-007 | i honestly have no idea | 01:10 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: how i have the same problem using 10.10 on an eee | 01:10 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: are you using natty? | 01:11 |
| entity | because I dont have a Natty CD | 01:11 |
| mordof | lcb: o.o is it really that big an issue to need to back those up? | 01:11 |
| * [dlp] racks his brains | 01:11 | |
| escott | KNUBBIG, depends on what kinds of mods you made | 01:11 |
| alien-007 | i cant format neither | 01:11 |
| nowherefast | ohsix:no | 01:11 |
| shmoolikipod | how the hell do I set my old desktop back | 01:11 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: i forget the name but its 10.10 | 01:11 |
| WhiteD | I have a moderate problem with a network upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 | 01:11 |
| shmoolikipod | Ubuntu 11.04 GUI sucks! | 01:11 |
| KNUBBIG | escott: colour + background changes, but other configs eg samba are somewhat more modified | 01:11 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: what problems are you having with the "current" drivers | 01:11 |
| ohsix | shmoolikipod: #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:11 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: i can view networks but i cannot connect to them | 01:12 |
| ohsix | shmoolikipod: this is a help channel | 01:12 |
| escott | KNUBBIG, i would just diff the two and take the parts you want | 01:12 |
| KNUBBIG | escott: okay, thanks | 01:12 |
| lcb | mordof, yes because you are having problems accessing the system. with a live cd you could access the partitions and backup what's necessary. | 01:12 |
| [dlp] | entity: You could run fsck on the drive, *DO NOT DO THIS IF THE FS IS MOUNTED READ-WRITE* | 01:12 |
| nowherefast | ohsix:i was able to connect one time, but it dropped | 01:12 |
| thebigroflz | ohsic, it worked! | 01:12 |
| escott | KNUBBIG, i think the biggest difference is that you can say sda instead of hd0 | 01:12 |
| ozzloy | http://www.artima.com/shop/programming_in_scala_2ed anyone know if the ebook pdf from here is readable in linux? | 01:12 |
| alien-007 | How can i know a disk filesystem ? | 01:12 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: i am not sure what driver i am currently using | 01:12 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: well it's a very windowsy thing to suggest to remove/reinstall drivers; the often have nothing to do with it | 01:12 |
| alien-007 | im bootin 10.4 LTS live ppc | 01:12 |
| JaymesKeller | I'm still having trouble trying to access my NTFS raid under 11.04 I have looked at my packages and it seems that dmraid is already there. There are references to the RAID, but nothing useful. | 01:12 |
| WhiteD | Does anybody know how to force quit an upgrade I can't see? | 01:12 |
| entity | [dlp]: I'm not gonna risk it, I'm just gonna do clean install. | 01:12 |
| KNUBBIG | escott: okay, thank you | 01:12 |
| lcb | KNUBBIG, don't play with grub while upgrading... go to sleep :p | 01:12 |
| shmoolikipod | ohsix, so no one can help with the manus ? to get the old gnome look back ? | 01:13 |
| ohsix | WhiteD: never force anything you don't know how to fix manually | 01:13 |
| bastidrazor | alien-007: sudo fdisk -l | 01:13 |
| KNUBBIG | lcb: :D and then I'll wake up and my grub is destroyed *fears* :D | 01:13 |
| ohsix | shmoolikipod: pick the classic session on the login screen | 01:13 |
| acicula | shmoolikipod: you can select the ubuntu classic environment at the login prompt | 01:13 |
| lcb | lol, no | 01:13 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: ive exhausted all other options | 01:13 |
| shmoolikipod | ohsix, thanks :) | 01:13 |
| alien-007 | bastidrazor: thanks | 01:13 |
| acicula | shmoolikipod: that should give you the old look | 01:13 |
| bastidrazor | alien-007: you're welcome. | 01:13 |
| WhiteD | ohsix: Yeah, well my upgrade to 10.10 stopped last night at 74% because my HDD spun down on my netbook. I can't do anything right now upgrade wise. | 01:13 |
| [dlp] | entity: If you've got a backup the risk is limited. | 01:13 |
| ohsix | JaymesKeller: if you scan manually with dmraid does it find the volumes? | 01:13 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: any ideas that are more linuxy? love to hear them : ) | 01:14 |
| mordof | argh.. now i can't access my 1TB drive for some reason :\ | 01:14 |
| [dlp] | entity: And if you don't then a clean install is riskier. | 01:14 |
| JaymesKeller | ohsix: How do you do that? | 01:14 |
| ohsix | WhiteD: why would that stop it, is it defective? | 01:14 |
| lcb | KNUBBIG, SHIFT before loading ubuntu and just hit 'update grub' on the recovery menu, just in case | 01:14 |
| KNUBBIG | lcb: thanks a lot | 01:14 |
| lcb | KNUBBIG, but don't worry about that now. | 01:14 |
| ohsix | JaymesKeller: "man dmraid" or dmraid --help in a terminal | 01:14 |
| alien-007 | stefg: it says /dev/hdc1 Apple partition map Apple | 01:15 |
| WhiteD | ohsix: I have no idea. I waited 10 minutes for it to continue with installation, and I didn't see a thing move. Any suggestions? I've tried to upgrade to 11.04 but I can't because it says it is still running, which it is not. | 01:15 |
| entity | [dlp]: how so? If I wipe the partiton clean (because I backed up my stuff before even doing this) and then clean install on the partition...? | 01:15 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: well, remove all the changes you made trying to solve the problem for one | 01:15 |
| shmoolikipod | ohsix, I don't have an option to change the session type ... | 01:15 |
| JaymesKeller | ohsix: dmraid seems to be for software RAIDs, I have a hardware one. | 01:15 |
| KNUBBIG | lcb: I don't worry that much I think, it should all go well (says the optimist) | 01:15 |
| stefg | alien-007: so it's likely a hfs+ partition... | 01:15 |
| Ziber | My built in mic isnt working with ubuntu. Any ideas? | 01:15 |
| alien-007 | can i format a disk on terminal | 01:15 |
| mordof | stefg: so what were you saying before? i have access to the filesystem | 01:15 |
| lcb | KNUBBIG, hehehe | 01:15 |
| [dlp] | entity: Then breaking your filesystem with a bad fsck is worth trying. | 01:15 |
| shmoolikipod | all I want is to get the old menus look and remove the side bar | 01:15 |
| escott | JaymesKeller, have you loaded the correct modules for your raid controller | 01:15 |
| usr13 | alien-007: sudo | 01:15 |
| mordof | ugh this is annoying | 01:15 |
| ohsix | JaymesKeller: what controller? | 01:16 |
| alien-007 | stefg: yes it says that | 01:16 |
| [dlp] | Because it won't take as long as a fresh install. | 01:16 |
| usr13 | alien-007: Yes | 01:16 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: thats already done | 01:16 |
| ohsix | shmoolikipod: click on your name first, it's at the bottom | 01:16 |
| JaymesKeller | ohsix: It is an nvidia raid controller. | 01:16 |
| [dlp] | entity: And the chances are it won't break your filesystem. | 01:16 |
| entity | [dlp]: okay so my computer is off. I'm gonna turn it on, it produces that error, I press M, then what? | 01:16 |
| ohsix | JaymesKeller: then it is not hardware | 01:16 |
| usr13 | alien-007: mkfs | 01:16 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: how sure are you that it is? | 01:16 |
| shmoolikipod | ohsix, when I click on my name I get loged in automatically | 01:16 |
| shmoolikipod | :( | 01:16 |
| WhiteD | ohsix: I'd prefer not to do a clean install if that is what you are thinking. I don't have anything to back up my data with. | 01:17 |
| mordof | lcb: my 1TB drive is only accessible from user 1000 - i don't really want to change the permissions, otherwise it'll mess it up for my mount point once grub is fixed. can i temporarily get access to it somehow? | 01:17 |
| [dlp] | entity: cat /proc/mounts | 01:17 |
| Ziber | My built in mic isnt working with ubuntu. Any ideas? | 01:17 |
| stefg | alien-007:sudo mkdir /media/foo; sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/foo /media/foo | 01:17 |
| entity | [dlp]: ok now what | 01:17 |
| escott | mordof, su to user with uid 1000 | 01:17 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: i am not but all files that were edited were changed and i think reboot will change the modprobes | 01:17 |
| KNUBBIG | !lts | 01:17 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 01:17 |
| mordof | escott: ok | 01:17 |
| escott | mordof, or root | 01:17 |
| KNUBBIG | ah fine | 01:17 |
| lcb | mordof, a hint... the directories i told you, select Compress from nautilus. it would be easier that way to backup. | 01:17 |
| mlaci | hi guys! does the official natty installer supports full disk encryption or should i use the alternate installer image? | 01:17 |
| JaymesKeller | ohsix: I thought it was hardware-based. Not sure why it would be software based, but still, dmraid finds them. So the next step is to get it mounted. | 01:17 |
| mordof | lcb: i don't need to worry about that, i just want to get access to my other hard drive | 01:18 |
| [dlp] | entity: then fsck /dev/device-by-uuid/... | 01:18 |
| escott | mordof, 1000 is by default the first non-root user on the system | 01:18 |
| ohsix | WhiteD: there are logs generated during the install, you could look at those | 01:18 |
| lcb | mordof, after repairing or anytime? | 01:18 |
| WhiteD | ohsix: Ok, how do I do that? | 01:18 |
| [dlp] | entity: I am assuming the fs is mounted read-only. It's very important that it is. | 01:18 |
| ohsix | WhiteD: open a terminal then look in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ | 01:18 |
| escott | JaymesKeller, its "soft-raid" you can read lots of cursing about that online | 01:18 |
| ohsix | WhiteD: err nevermind that | 01:19 |
| mordof | lcb: my /home is on a seperate partition to begin with, and i can move /usr and /etc to different partitions as well | 01:19 |
| mordof | lcb: i'll do that after this is repaired | 01:19 |
| WhiteD | ohsix: o_O uhhh ok? ha | 01:19 |
| stefg | mordof: if you can mount the file system you can chroot to it. this makes it possible to reinstall grub from within the chroot'ed system | 01:19 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: from what i have read besides driver issue it could be a bluetooth issue (solved using rfkill) application issue (wicd vs network manager) or id issue (not displaying in iwconfig) and its not so i must assume its a driver or driver conflict | 01:19 |
| ohsix | WhiteD: for installs theres a different location & i don't remember it offhand | 01:19 |
| lcb | mordof, oh, ok then | 01:19 |
| kavurt | i have beta2 installed. but today, i have no updates. what might be wrong. i tried a couple different mirrors. all are the same. | 01:19 |
| entity | [dlp]: what are the dots oh and it IS IN READ-WRITE | 01:19 |
| stefg | mordof: you should read dmesg | 01:19 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: well trying wicd instead of networkmanager doesn't tell you anything | 01:19 |
| mordof | stefg: ah, right.. 20 mins until my live 11.04 is done since it seems 10.10 is kinda risky | 01:20 |
| Falcorian | I've got a quick question about the installer for 11.04, 64bit, off of a live USB. The partition editor doesn't seem to be able to set user specified mount points. Am I missing something or was this feature removed? | 01:20 |
| [dlp] | Are you sure? | 01:20 |
| escott | !final | kavurt its been pretty quiet on release day | 01:20 |
| ubottu | kavurt its been pretty quiet on release day: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Natty and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 11.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. | 01:20 |
| [dlp] | entity: ^^^ | 01:20 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: wicd gets less eyes, i trust it a lot less than n-m | 01:20 |
| entity | [dlp]: not to worry, I have not executed any commands besides cat | 01:20 |
| Ziber | What packages might I need to install to get a built in mic working? | 01:20 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: try and connect with n-m, then grep -i networkman /var/log/syslog | 01:20 |
| cmykify | system monitor says my CPU(s) are running at 100% after i install 11.04, but the processes show 4-10% load. What's using up the rest? | 01:20 |
| escott | Ziber, its part of alsa | 01:21 |
| [dlp] | entity: fsck will print a big fat warning anyway | 01:21 |
| escott | Ziber, is this the same problem from 2 days ago? | 01:21 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: it's very noisy about what it does, if you can't figure it out paste the output to a pastebin | 01:21 |
| entity | so how do I mount in readonly | 01:21 |
| mordof | stefg: and what would i be looking for in there? | 01:21 |
| JaymesKeller | I hope I'm on the right track here. I have found that mdarray knows that my RAID exists, but now I want to mount it. Would mdadm be needed? Or something else? | 01:21 |
| [dlp] | entity: If you just rebooted, you should be read only already. | 01:21 |
| ohsix | cmykify: try running something like htop in a terminal, it shows more information | 01:21 |
| bikcmp | are ubuntu's servers going unusually slow today? | 01:22 |
| entity | [dlp]: I just tried to nano a txt file and it didnt warn me about no write privs | 01:22 |
| alien-007 | stefg: sudo mkdir /media/foo; sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/foo /media/foo worked for me,,thanks a lot buddy ;) | 01:22 |
| usr13 | bikcmp: Yes | 01:22 |
| WhiteD | Does anybody know where to check the upgrade logs? not finding anything on google. | 01:22 |
| Pici | bikcmp: not unusual for a release day. | 01:22 |
| [dlp] | entity: What did the cat say? | 01:22 |
| bikcmp | usr13: ideas why? my mirror seemed to crawl | 01:22 |
| bikcmp | Pici: release day? | 01:22 |
| [dlp] | entity: And what error did you get this time? | 01:22 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: thanks, the meat and potatos seem to be associating -> disconnected | 01:22 |
| entity | [dlp]: oh just kidding i'm in readonly | 01:22 |
| escott | JaymesKeller, is mdarray part of mdadm or dmraid (they are different) | 01:22 |
| usr13 | bikcmp: 11.04 came out today. | 01:22 |
| bikcmp | oh. | 01:22 |
| erik333 | hm... this new gnome thing... how do you move the panels or config anything? None of the shortcuts include gnome configuration utilities XD | 01:22 |
| Pici | bikcmp: 11.04 was relased today. Or yesterday depending on your timezone | 01:22 |
| bikcmp | figures :P | 01:22 |
| nastjuid | bikcmp: you could find a closer/faster mirror | 01:23 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: it gives the reason as 0 | 01:23 |
| entity | [dlp]: the cat said meow. no seriously, it looks the same as last time | 01:23 |
| escott | erik333, in unity you don't thats the whole idea :) | 01:23 |
| stefg | mordof: often there's hints in this why you can't access a filesystem | 01:23 |
| mordof | i guess i'll just wait for any more questions until i get on the 11.04 live cd | 01:23 |
| mordof | stefg: everything mounts fine, i can access the file systems | 01:23 |
| FloatingGoat | what is the unity project called? | 01:23 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: indeed, you know those cards have problems with wmm/qos/power saving and some other things, do you have them enabled on your router? | 01:23 |
| mordof | stefg: this is a grub problem.. | 01:23 |
| erik333 | so this is a good time to switch to a tiling wm then i guess | 01:23 |
| JaymesKeller | escott: I meant dmarray. It has found my RAID, so 11.04 knows it exists. | 01:23 |
| ohsix | FloatingGoat: ayatana? | 01:23 |
| mordof | stefg: a grub configuration problem at that, because grub is still accessible | 01:23 |
| JaymesKeller | escott: Now I need to know how to get it mounted. | 01:23 |

| chotaz | Ew. first impression of Unity, it sucks :\ How can I completly remove it? | 01:24 |
| stefg | mordof: is your installed system mounted now? | 01:24 |
| escott | JaymesKeller, dmarray would be part of dmraid not mdadm. i'm not familiar with device-mapper | 01:24 |
| erik333 | was using awesome + gnome panel now to ease the transition, but that stopped working after upgrade | 01:24 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: do i have power saving enabled on my router? i don't think so | 01:24 |
| ohsix | chotaz: use the classic desktop session, pick it on the login screen | 01:24 |
| cmykify | ohsix: kthnx back in a minute | 01:24 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: yeah it looks like it gets to stage 3 of 5 then disconnects | 01:24 |
| chotaz | ohsix: no way to uninstall it and have my comp running just like before the update? | 01:24 |
| mordof | stefg: yes | 01:25 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: post the output to a pastebin please | 01:25 |
| FloatingGoat | is there a command to open the dash in unity 2D? | 01:25 |
| mordof | stefg: both my /home and my / are mounted at the moment | 01:25 |
| WhiteD | ohsix: this is what keeps popping up: Cannot get the exclusive lock on the packaging backend. | 01:25 |
| WhiteD | Please close any other legacy packaging tools that may be open. | 01:25 |
| JaymesKeller | escott: dmraid knows it's there. What command do I use to mount the array? | 01:25 |
| entity | [dlp]: /dev/disk/by-uuid/87d334b4-9a16-4621-967a-5f74491dd9e4 / ext4 ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 | 01:25 |
| stefg | mordof: so where is it mounted ( ls /media ) | 01:25 |
| ohsix | chotaz: not if you installed it, theres a lot more than unity in play, just use the classic session | 01:25 |
| escott | JaymesKeller, see man dmarray i don't know it | 01:25 |
| entity | lol I will have my UUIDs memorized after tonight... :\ | 01:25 |
| [dlp] | entity: It's read only, you can fsck it. | 01:25 |
| ohsix | WhiteD: are you running apt-get or synaptic, or aptitude or anything at the same time? | 01:26 |
| entity | okay | 01:26 |
| WhiteD | I doubt it. Not to my knowledge. | 01:26 |
| [dlp] | entity: fsck might still complain it's mounted, but just ignore it. | 01:26 |
| mordof | stefg: it is under /media/166 GB Filesystem | 01:26 |
| entity | [dlp]: what's the whole fsck command | 01:26 |
| chotaz | ohsix: I never had the chance to choose not to install it | 01:26 |
| ohsix | entity: mount understands UUID=<uuid> for the volume name, no need to use that path | 01:26 |
| WhiteD | ohsix: Sorry; ha not to my knowledge | 01:26 |
| [dlp] | fsck /dev/disk/by-uuid/87d334b4-9a16-4621-967a-5f74491dd9e4 | 01:26 |
| escott | JaymesKeller, and if it follows standard terminology you would assemble it and then mount a device /dev/dmarray1 or some such | 01:26 |

| TerryBook | can anyone tell me how to get growl notifications in natty? | 01:27 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: the contents can be found in the final reply in my thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10734573#post10734573 | 01:27 |

| nowherefast | tamer: glad it worked, couldn't tell you honestly why it works : P | 01:27 |
| stefg | mordof: get a terminal and type 'ls /media'. i think the real mountpoint is some lenghty number dir in /media | 01:27 |

| ohsix | nowherefast: as a rule i don't trouble myself with forums, but i'll make an exception this time; please use paste.ubuntu.com in the future | 01:28 |
| stefg | mordof: so cd to that dir | 01:28 |
| WhiteD | ohsix: that did nothing. | 01:28 |
| JaymesKeller | Okay, does anyone know how to assemble and mount the software RAID array I have? | 01:29 |
| ohsix | cmykify: it says at the top where its's being used | 01:29 |

| Pici | conical: Wow, that is easy. | 01:29 |
| conical | I'm ssh -x ing into my ubuntu box | 01:29 |

| cmykify | ohsix: yeah, top process is Compiz at 7% | 01:29 |
| conical | but can't open folders that requre root access | 01:29 |
| [dlp] | entity: What happened? | 01:29 |
| chotaz | ohsix: the only thing i can choose at the login is the user, nothing to choose unity or not is here. help? | 01:29 |
| conical | normally i'd be prompted to enter my password | 01:29 |
| erik333 | so, are there any advantages to the unity dektop thing? I'm trying really hard to think of one. It's like it was meant for tablet PC:s | 01:30 |
| cmykify | ok i'll go sudo 1 sec | 01:30 |
| mordof | stefg: ah, can't - no root perms | 01:30 |
| hiexpo | hola Pici | 01:30 |
| Pici | hiexpo: howdy | 01:30 |
| ohsix | chotaz: choose the user, then look at the bottom | 01:30 |
| mordof | stefg: need to root into it, but i don't remember how :\ | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | erik333: well yeah it was made for netbooks only to begin with | 01:30 |
| escott | conical, you have put sudo in front of the command | 01:30 |

| conical | it's in the gui | 01:30 |
| mordof | stefg: ah, got it | 01:30 |
| ohsix | WhiteD: ok then that message is wrong or not the real error | 01:30 |
| conical | so a better question | 01:30 |
| escott | conical, then gksudo | 01:30 |
| mordof | stefg: i'm rooted into it | 01:31 |
| cmykify | ohsix: Still just compiz at 7% in htop (sudo) | 01:31 |
| [dlp] | entity: Then it should have mounted in the first place. | 01:31 |
| entity | [dlp]: but it's not. | 01:31 |
| stefg | mordof: when you are at the root of the installed system you need to bind-mount /proc /sys and /dev, and then chroot into it | 01:31 |
| Pici | conical: I find it useful if I need to use ssh -x to have it open a terminal (gnome-terminal maybe) first, and then run any other application I need from there. | 01:31 |
| Soothsayer | I did a shrink on two separate drives to make space fo Ubuntu..but the two Unallocated spaces are not contiguous, how do I achieve that ? | 01:31 |

| ohsix | nowherefast: well with the proper package name, but yes | 01:35 |
| Quasi_ | sebsebseb I think because the lack of the driver the cpu is more used, so the fan speeds up | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | !upgrade | fuzzybunny69y | 01:35 |

| ohsix | cmykify: it is not displaying as i expected, if it were it would show whats doing it | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | Quasi_: yeah I had this kind of stuff with beta 2, but | 01:37 |
| Seedymac | Hi guys, is aptitude deprecated? | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | Quasi_: in my case Unity would freeze if the propritary driver was used, but if I removed the propritary driver and installed the experimental 3D driver, Unity would work | 01:37 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: but your eee doesn't have an intel wifi chip, theres another problem | 01:37 |
| cmykify | ohsix: ok, any other utils or info dumps I can do to figure it out? | 01:37 |
| erik333 | ohsix: well there are some panel-like grey strips where panels normally might be... and they hold volume controls and clocks | 01:37 |

| ceed^ | If anyone have ugly boot after installing the non-free nvidia driver install startupmanager and set your resolution and color depth. after that it looks good. | 01:39 |

| Quasi_ | sebsebseb how can I install it (I'm a noob sorry) | 01:39 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: things to check: if its wireless g/n, make sure b interop is on even if you're not using b, disable wmm, disable wireless power savings | 01:39 |
| asteriskmonkey1 | can i get my old gnome back im hating ubuntu 11.04 | 01:39 |
| fuzzybunny69y | Hey guys I am trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha/Beta to the final and it keeps saying "Not all updates can be installed" and to run a partial upgrade. Should I do this or is there some other way to make sure I upgrade to the final release. | 01:39 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: for example the highly variable outcomes of madwifi vs ath9k vs ndis + windows in transfer speeds, etc | 01:39 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: there aren't different drivers practically speaking, there is one, and less good options, like madwifi, vendor drivers or ndiswrapper | 01:39 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: how do i disable power saving? | 01:40 |
| ceed^ | asteriskmonkey1, log into ubuntu classic instead. that's the old gnome deskto | 01:40 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: separate concern, and the mainline one will be fixed some day | 01:40 |
| Quasi_ | sebsebseb where can I get the experimental driver and how to install it ? | 01:40 |
| ceed^ | *desktop | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | Quasi_: I assume this is the same Beta 2 and the final, so going by what I ddi with Beta 2. got to remove the propritary driver, in additional drivers yeah, and then after you done that may have to re boot the computer first, but should then have an option for an experimental 3D driver showing that you can then install | 01:40 |
| asteriskmonkey1 | ceed how do i do that? | 01:40 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: you need to open your routers management pages, it has loads of options | 01:40 |
| Quasi_ | sebsebseb thanks a lot for your help, will try that | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | Quasi_: and hold on | 01:41 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: ah... yeah, disabled | 01:41 |
| ceed^ | asteriskmonkey1, log out, click on your name in gdm, then select classic from the meny on the bottom of the screen | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | Quasi_: and if you do this, and for some odd reason, you find that Unity is completly broken | 01:41 |
| asteriskmonkey1 | ceed thanks | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | Quasi_: log into Ubuntu Classic Mode (no effects) and install the propritary driver again I guess | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | Quasi_: from the log in screen | 01:41 |
| eigba | asteriskmonkey1, I wish they would of went with gnome3 | 01:41 |
| asteriskmonkey1 | eigba ,the more i read about the side bar i see that alot.. | 01:42 |
| Quasi_ | sebsebseb ok will do that. Last question : I have 2 Nvidia drivers (173 & current) Should I uninstall both ? | 01:42 |
| ceed^ | asteriskmonkey1, I also hated Unity initially. you should give it a chance at some point. it's pretty functional although a bit more limited than good 'ol gnome right now. | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | Quasi_: Unity didn't brake when I did what I am saying, it got it working for me, but something different may happen for you | 01:42 |

| ceed^ | shane4ubuntu, well. no. running apps are marked with an arrow on the side in the launcher, so you can restore apps from there | 01:46 |
| ohsix | kaiyin: yes, but not generally; purging ppa's is nearly a must for upgrades | 01:47 |

| usr13 | conical: there is tightvnc and x11vnc | 01:49 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: i am going to throw 9.04 as my wifi works out of the box on that release and see if it's using the same driver | 01:49 |
| conical | it requires me to be logged in | 01:49 |

| conical | assistance | 01:50 |

| conical | which i can do via ssh -x | 01:50 |
| kaiyin | ohsix: what if i don't remember those names? | 01:50 |
| WhiteD | ohsix: lol it was a problem with the upgrade package I was using. The Ubuntu Upgrade software is doing the job without a problem. | 01:50 |
| conical | but then i'm viewing that session | 01:50 |
| Soothsayer | kzetts: at 22 kbps here | 01:50 |
| kzetts | conical: can you ssh to you machine and fire up a vnc service? | 01:50 |
| doobien | it is not letting me upgrade because it is finding some files that i installed elsewhere than ubuntu's repository, is there a way to find out what they are so i can remove them for force an install over them. | 01:50 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: it might use the same name, but it wont be the same driver | 01:50 |
| Ziber | !pulseuadio | 01:50 |
| kaiyin | is there a way to purge every ppa source? | 01:50 |
| conical | i believe one is already running | 01:50 |
| WhiteD | ohsix: on original Ubuntu gnome GUI now too | 01:50 |
| Ziber | !pulseaudio | 01:50 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 01:50 |
| conical | or at least | 01:50 |
| ohsix | WhiteD: ahhh, good deal | 01:50 |
| conical | when I sshed in | 01:50 |
| conical | i started it through the gnome gui | 01:50 |
| kzetts | ok, if there is a vnc service running, then connect to your machine with a vnc client! | 01:50 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: hah! its showing iwl3945, notorious for problems | 01:50 |
| nit-wit | doobien, are you backed up | 01:50 |
| george__ | Hi folks. How to fix the following message: The following packages have unmet dependencies: python-couchdb: Quebra: desktopcouch (= 0.2.93) but it is not going to be installed. | 01:50 |
| usr13 | kzetts: Yes you can | 01:50 |

| shane4ubuntu | ceed^: ok, cleared some of the junk out of the side bar, and the apps are there, thanks! I didn't realize they were in there. | 01:51 |
| ohsix | kaiyin: look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d for the ppa entries, just get their names don't delete them; ppa-puge does downgrades & it needs them there | 01:51 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | for getting skype, is it recommended to get the ubuntu varient, or just go for skype-static? | 01:51 |
| nit-wit | doobien, do you think you should be? what if you have a problem that is not fixable? | 01:51 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: of course, but it's not just the driver; those chips are a pain too | 01:52 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | I use skype static on my laptop (puppy linux) all the time and don't have any issues whatsoever. | 01:52 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: what else could it be? | 01:52 |

| kpoman | hi all ! guys after upgrade to 11.04, my radeon DRI on Xorg is broken. Anyone got a quick fix ? | 01:53 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: what router do you have? | 01:53 |
| kpoman | kernel 2.6.38-8 | 01:53 |
| itaylor57 | Spaz_Dynamic: I use the skype from the ubuntu store | 01:53 |
| ohsix | Spaz_Dynamic: get skype from the partner repo & it'll get upgrades automatically | 01:53 |
| nit-wit | doobien, clone your setup before doing anything if you can. http://clonezilla.org/ cover your booty | 01:53 |
| SinnerNyx | Ok, kinda silly question. Using ubuntu-server. I used to have a custom MOTD, but I don't remember how I did it. I upgraded to 11.04 and whenever I change /etc/motd the changes get wiped when I log in again. I don't want to use a third-party application just to change it once. | 01:53 |

| SinnerNyx | ohsix: issue is for what comes up before login right? good idea with the grep though. I'll get back to you in a sec | 01:55 |
| Vanishing | can anyone help me with this? | 01:55 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: if you wanted to do that, but what are you going to do for your netbook? you need to find out what external problems there can be | 01:55 |

| pfifo | when I install a php module via synaptics do I need to restart apache? | 01:56 |
| ohsix | pfifo: generally no | 01:56 |

| daitheflu03 | It's a 22" widescreen | 01:57 |
| ohsix | pfifo: if you're using the threaded mpm it might need a restart, i haven't messed with the new (as of 4 years ago lul) stuff in apache 2 | 01:58 |
| ohsix | pfifo: the package likely modified php's configuration and if it's never reloaded during its normal lifecycle you might need to force it | 01:58 |
| george__ | usr13: I did that but it says that depends of another package. I keep tacking the dependencies, and when I finally find one that I can install, it says it will remove A LOT of apps! | 01:58 |
| thebigroflz | hey are any of you guys good with printers? | 01:59 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: best ratings? i have two atheros devices and the mac80211 drivers are great | 01:59 |
| thebigroflz | Im having a headache setting mine up | 01:59 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: if the problem is know it will end up in module backports as soon as it's available, picking an alternative only picks the worst possible compromise | 01:59 |
| likki | Is there something better than wine? | 02:01 |

| conical | so I can use the vnc server | 02:02 |
| likki | Is there something better than wine besides windows? | 02:02 |
| ohsix | conical: if you didn't already install ssh or some other remote access, you don't | 02:02 |
| conical | I have ssh | 02:02 |
| conical | i can even ssh -X in | 02:02 |
| jiohdi | likki play on linux | 02:02 |

| hiexpo | tase, proballythousands downloading it system is bogged | 02:02 |

| conical | so, using ssh, how do I tell my computer to "log in" | 02:03 |
| conical | locally | 02:03 |
| jiohdi | the program is called play on linux | 02:03 |

| Soothsayer | I want to make FREE-SPACE-1 larger and put Ubuntu onto that. | 02:04 |
| ohsix | conical: well you normally see a greeter, but since you're in with ssh, you need to start an x session manually, but even then that's probably not what you want, what are you trying to do? | 02:04 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: the repeater is a tlwa500g | 02:04 |

| romulobr | hi, I was just now upgrading to 11.04 but the installer crashed and there was a message telling me the system may have become unusable... is there something I should do? To prevent the system from not working anymore or anything. I confess I 'm a little bit scared right now. | 02:05 |

| Aginor | zachgretzinger, yes, but it is a bit involved and a jar and a deb isn't nearly similar things, so you can't do a straight off conversion | 02:07 |

| SinnerNyx | ohsix: sorry for wasting your time | 02:08 |

| zachgretzinger | jazzy, well do you have a tutorial or a link then? | 02:11 |
| Aginor | zachgretzinger, bear in mind that you'll probably have to do more things than to just put your .jar in a debian package | 02:11 |

| freeman_ | ohsix, cmd not found :( ... i think i found it installed in software center though? | 02:11 |

| ubottu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 02:14 |
| ohsix | Soothsayer: i will say though, raid is useless without backups, so if you think it will help you avoid them, that's a common mistake | 02:14 |
| romulobr | wish me luck... i will try to restart the system | 02:14 |
| Allen- | Can anyone help me with my screen resolution? My monitor shows up as unknown and I can only use 800 x 600. | 02:14 |
| Hello71 | !packages | 02:14 |
| Soothsayer | I've never configured software raid before, should I just install Natty on a partition first and then plan the raid part later? | 02:14 |
| n-iCe | Question, is there any difference if I install a 64bit os in a 4GB RAM lap instead of 32bits? | 02:14 |
| Hello71 | !help | 02:14 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 02:14 |
| Soothsayer | ohsix: no, im not looking at a substitute for backups | 02:14 |
| gogeta | zachgretzinger: your just packing the jar file into a deb doing that | 02:14 |
| Soothsayer | crashes instead. | 02:14 |
| taglass | n-iCe: you'll be able to access the full 4 GB with a 64 bit os. You can't w/ a 32 bit os unless it supports PAE. | 02:15 |
| zachgretzinger | gogeta , that's all I'm trying to do... I want the .jar inside a .deb so I can trick Natty into thinking it's not running a .jar | 02:15 |
| Blue1 | n-iCe: does the laptop support 64 bit hardware? | 02:15 |
| Hello71 | !xyproblem | 02:15 |
| fester | how do i add a mirror so that my downloads go faster? it's taking 20minutes just to download vim | 02:15 |
| zamN | Aginor Hello71: So I'll just want to run sudo apt-get install build-essential and then I should have gcc on there? | 02:15 |
| gogeta | zachgretzinger: umm thers no trick your thinking of a launcher | 02:15 |
| Hello71 | zamN: What do you really want to do? | 02:16 |
| === kassius is now known as mercvrivs | ||
| Aginor | zamba, yes, you might want to install automake too | 02:16 |
| Aginor | zamba, sorry, mistabbed | 02:16 |
| gogeta | zachgretzinger: bascily a script along with the jar file to make a menu shortcut and stuff | 02:16 |
| Hello71 | ... | 02:16 |
| Aginor | zamN, yes, you might want to install automake too | 02:16 |
| freeman_ | ohsix, i am in ccsm, do you recall the setting where it switches it | 02:16 |
| Vorenii | how do i open a txt file to edit as a root? /usr/share/empathy/empathy-chat-window.ui | 02:16 |
| taglass | Vorenii: sudo vi /usr/share/empathy/empathy-chat-window.ui | 02:17 |
| ohsix | freeman_: the big purple logo with Unity on it, that's the unity plugin | 02:17 |
| Vorenii | but i dont want to use vi, i dont understand it. | 02:17 |
| Hello71 | Vorenii: Open Terminal and type in gksudo gedit /usr/share/empathy/empathy-chat-window.ui | 02:17 |
| zachgretzinger | gogeta , exactly. All I want to do is to be able to change the icon of the .jar. The reason for this is because .jar packages cannot hold system icons. They have icons contained in the package. The .jar in question has a horrible icon and it looks atrotious in the Unity launcher | 02:17 |
| Vorenii | yes thats the one, thx Hello71 | 02:17 |
| Hello71 | !xy | 02:18 |
| ubottu | The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned. | 02:18 |
| gogeta | zachgretzinger: well you can make a sh script with any icons and use that script to start the jar | 02:18 |
| freeman_ | ohsix, oh haha, i opened that setting but missed it. thanks :D | 02:18 |
| cc11rocks | hey Ubuntu | 02:19 |
| n-iCe | Blue1: I have used a 64bits os before | 02:19 |
| Corbin | Hey, anyone have any experience getting ATI 57xx, 58xx, or 68xx video cards funning at peak performance? Are the drivers available for it up to snuff with Nvidia's yet? | 02:19 |
| cc11rocks | have a question... | 02:19 |
| fcuk112 | i am using onboard intel hd2000 gfx with natty - glxgears numbers were very up and down though (23-60fps) when maximised... any idea? | 02:19 |
| cc11rocks | i tried to make a JAR in Ubuntu...gave me blank lines | 02:19 |
| cc11rocks | like i typed in the correct information | 02:19 |
| soreau | Alright people where the hell is the menu in this natty unity thing. I'm wanting to find monitor properties configuration applet and keyboard preferences etc from sys>prefs like in maverick | 02:20 |
| cc11rocks | then under it, it had these ">" carrots | 02:20 |
| cc11rocks | what do i do after that? | 02:20 |
| fcuk112 | soreau, click on the power button | 02:20 |
| ohsix | soreau: click on the top left then type it in | 02:20 |
| soreau | fcuk112: The power button? | 02:20 |
| ohsix | soreau: oh yea | 02:20 |
| taglass | fcuk112: glxgears is a terrible benchmark | 02:20 |
| soreau | ohsix: Type what in? | 02:20 |
| fcuk112 | soreau, top right | 02:20 |
| ohsix | soreau: you can click the power button too, it offers a system settings entry | 02:20 |
| tase | the unity ... thing... is a WIP i assume | 02:21 |
| fcuk112 | taglass, should it run this slow tho in full screen? surely it should be smooth? | 02:21 |
| soreau | tase: Yes, totally | 02:21 |
| freeman_ | ohsix, its saying the new value for the edge binding for the action reveal mode conflicts with flip down of the desktop wall plugin.. then when i set to bottom it doesnt show up :S | 02:21 |
| gogeta | tase: nope relesed and total fail | 02:21 |
| cc11rocks | could anyone answer my question? | 02:21 |
| fester | how do i add a mirror so that my downloads go faster? it's taking 20minutes just to download vim | 02:21 |
| soreau | They shouldn't have even pushed it out this fast IMO | 02:21 |
| gogeta | wip would mean its not defult | 02:21 |
| soreau | gogeta: No it means that it's default and it sucks | 02:21 |
| taglass | fcuk112: but the numbers are probably capped at your vertical refresh rate. | 02:21 |
| naiden | when i run vi, ubuntu opens vim, then when i try vim it does not exist and it proposes install vim, why vim command doesnt works? | 02:21 |
| Hello71 | soreau: Ubuntu is on a fixed 6-month release schedule. | 02:21 |
| soreau | Hello71: Tell me something useful that I don't know | 02:22 |
| gogeta | soreau: hehe why im sporting kde now | 02:22 |
| cc11rocks | I typed in: | 02:22 |
| cc11rocks | jar cmf program.mf program.jar *.class *.jar | 02:22 |
| Hello71 | naiden: Try vim.tiny. | 02:22 |
| taglass | naiden: vim-minimal is installed as vi I believe. | 02:22 |
| cc11rocks | and it just gave me carrots with blank lines underneath | 02:22 |
| a7ndrew | And Unity was not ready for this release. | 02:22 |
| cc11rocks | JDK and JRE are properly installed | 02:22 |
| fcuk112 | taglass, if i keep it at the default size, it hits 60fps consistently, as soon as i maximise it... slows down, very variable - as low as 23fps | 02:22 |
| ohsix | freeman_: no idea there, i don't use unity | 02:22 |
| freeman_ | ohsix, ok thanks for the help any way :) | 02:22 |
| ohsix | a7ndrew: then ready for what release? | 02:22 |
| Hello71 | cc11rocks: Try java -jar... | 02:22 |
| linuxman410 | does anyone know about intel 845ge video on board i only have one resolution and it says unknown monitor and says 0 rrefresh rate any way is greatly appreciated | 02:23 |
| gogeta | fcuk112: i would say turn off compiz but unity screws you there its forced | 02:23 |
| ohsix | a7ndrew: the netbook version had most of the ideas for unity already in it and used, except it as hacks with maximus and stuff | 02:23 |
| ric123 | Woah, I asked it to include restricted extras during the install and it installed the old 173 NVIDIA driver and now I'm getting weird graphics glitches, anyone else? | 02:23 |
| katsrc | hey everyone | 02:23 |
| naiden | Hello71, taglass, but when i type vi, console shows "VIM - Vi IMproved" | 02:23 |
| cc11rocks | hello71, "java -jar" runs the jar | 02:23 |
| a7ndrew | ohsix: Well the one after they got it working with multiple monitors would be a good candidate | 02:23 |
| taglass | fcuk112: no idea then. | 02:23 |
| cc11rocks | i am trying to create the jar | 02:23 |
| elsoja | i need help, im desperate | 02:23 |
| ohsix | a7ndrew: the unity plugin for compiz does almost all the same stuff but it's not a hack | 02:23 |
| Logan_ | !ask | elsoja | 02:23 |
| ubottu | elsoja: 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. :-) | 02:23 |
| elsoja | i'm installing ubuntu in my father'1s pc | 02:23 |
| taglass | naiden: it'sa stripped down version of vim | 02:23 |
| elsoja | ok so | 02:23 |
| ohsix | a7ndrew: you might as well be the only one using multiple monitors, because a lot of people don't on netbooks | 02:23 |
| jiga | is it known bug that launcher sometimes "forgets" about running application? | 02:23 |
| naiden | taglass, hmm, ok | 02:24 |
| v-himanshu | yes | 02:24 |
| a7ndrew | ohsix I'm not using a netbook | 02:24 |
| v-himanshu | ok | 02:24 |
| ohsix | a7ndrew: also testing versions have been available for a long time, you should have spoke up then | 02:24 |
| a7ndrew | ohsix: Its my work desktop I'm trying to use | 02:24 |
| katsrc | i'm trying out the Nouveau drivers but can't seem to set a correct resolution | 02:24 |
| katsrc | it's only using 1024x768 | 02:24 |
| ohsix | a7ndrew: netbooks outsell notebooks outsell desktops | 02:24 |
| gogeta | a7ndrew: you are now | 02:25 |
| Logan_ | katsrc: /join #nouveau | 02:25 |
| katsrc | Logan_: thanks | 02:25 |
| Logan_ | katsrc: no problem | 02:25 |
| elsoja | i'm installing ubuntu in my father's pc, (before i formated the old partition and resized windows one to take all the HD), and now i cant create a partition for ubuntu cause i cand resize the windows partition; besides i cand boot on windows cause i unnistaled grub | 02:25 |
| ohsix | katsrc: the edid information for your monitor is incorrect or unavailable, you'll have to add modes manually with xrandr | 02:25 |
| gogeta | ohsix: naa they fell off with the tablet market | 02:25 |
| a7ndrew | yeah, I've managed to ssh into a working machine and brink up irssi. That's a huge win for linux on the desktop so far. | 02:25 |
| fester | how do i change the mirrors for ubuntu? i'm only getting like 20kbps i need a more local server | 02:25 |
| gogeta | ohsix: desktops and labbys are still the biggest sellers | 02:25 |
| soreau | Why doesn't Alt+F2 work when metacity is running? | 02:26 |
| nit-wit | elsoja, do you have a recovery or install disc | 02:26 |
| Tekk_ | I have an acer crystal eye webcam that's only working in black and white. It seemed to work before but now it doesn't. yes I'm sure that I have no effects on and the balances are all good | 02:26 |
| ohsix | gogeta: shrug, people are buying netbooks faster | 02:26 |
| SinnerNyx | ohsix: just wanted to thank you again, and let you know it worked. have a good night | 02:26 |
| ohsix | a7ndrew: so use the classic session & what you're familiar with | 02:26 |
| ohsix | SinnerNyx: great | 02:26 |
| linuxman410 | edid | 02:26 |
| Logan_ | !chmirror | fester | 02:26 |
| ubottu | fester: Go to "System", "Administration", and "Software Sources" and choose "Other" from the drop down box. Then choose "select best server" and your system will choose the fastest mirror for you automatically. | 02:26 |
| Herbs | elsoja make an extended partition its probably not letting you because you have to many primary if you have windows the recovery stuff usually takes 2 primary partitions | 02:26 |
| cc11rocks | I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with a netbook... | 02:26 |
| Tekk_ | using 10.10 | 02:26 |
| elsoja | nit-wit: of windows, no | 02:26 |
| ohsix | SinnerNyx: props for figuring out the .d thing, most people don't even look around | 02:26 |
| gogeta | ohsix: naa that was when they first came out its slowed down alot | 02:26 |
| a7ndrew | ohsix: yeah, think I'll have to. | 02:26 |
| jiga | is it possible to remove unity menu panel on second monitor? | 02:27 |
| gogeta | ohsix: being everyone owns one now heh | 02:27 |
| fester | Logan_: i don't have a gui yet, my synaptics isn't working | 02:27 |
| sebsebseb | jiga: no don't think so | 02:27 |
| MarcN | Upgraded my hp2133 notebook to Natty -- after about 2 minutes it hangs. 100% of the time. Suggestions on debugging? | 02:27 |
| soreau | Why doesn't Alt+F2 work with metacity in 11.04? | 02:27 |
| fester | (synaptics the laptop mouse driver) | 02:27 |
| rigved | hi everyone...using 11.04 with unity 3d...it's really cool :) | 02:27 |
| fester | so i can't log in | 02:27 |

| === krylon360 is now known as Guest12973 | ||
| ohsix | gogeta: thats most of what i see at the schools :D | 02:27 |
| nit-wit | elsoja, you do now boot it to the command and run bootrec.exe /fixmbr http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ | 02:27 |
| robin0800 | soreau, if metacity is running unity 3d has crashed as it needs compiz | 02:27 |
| ohsix | gogeta: but still, large target, and cheaper machines with smaller screens are becoming more prevalent | 02:27 |
| gogeta | ohsix: yea tablets are takeing off | 02:28 |
| ohsix | gogeta: natty has a first class omap4 target this time around | 02:28 |
| soreau | robin0800: That was not my question | 02:28 |
| soreau | Why doesn't Alt+F2 work with metacity in 11.04? | 02:28 |
| elsoja | nit-wit: it's xp | 02:28 |
| nit-wit | elsoja, you can use gparted but the W7 disk manager is suggested | 02:28 |
| robin0800 | soreau, it does | 02:28 |
| gogeta | ohsix: iv seen a few omap on ebay the launch ones | 02:28 |
| Logan_ | soreau: it should | 02:28 |
| ohsix | soreau: are you using metacity? long story short, the panel applet with the application/places/system menu on it does that | 02:28 |
| === Guest12973 is now known as krylon360|work | ||
| soreau | robin0800: Why didn't you say that in the first place? | 02:28 |
| elsoja | nit-wit: gparted cant rezise | 02:29 |
| soreau | ohsix: You mean gnome-panel has to be running | 02:29 |
| conical | ohsix, did I miss your answer? | 02:29 |

| diglett | hi all, I'm having a power issue. i've got ubuntu installed on an Asus G71X, and everytime I unplug it, ubuntu locks up. It works fine under windows so i'm guessing it's not a hardware issue. Any ideas for what I should try? | 02:30 |
| soreau | ohsix: Yes you're right, thanks. | 02:30 |
| soreau | I can see the menu now too, whew | 02:30 |
| a7ndrew | awesome, I disabled the unity plugin from about:config, now that's gone, but I've also go no gnome panels. How do I logout? | 02:30 |
| soreau | What a constricting piece of garbage unity is | 02:30 |
| ohsix | conical: to do what you want to do you need to use xvnc | 02:30 |
| gogeta | soreau: cough kde | 02:30 |
| ohsix | soreau: #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:30 |
| Herbs | elsoja boot windows and shut it down properly maybe run a chkdsk on it sounds like te windows partition has not been unmounted cleanly | 02:31 |
| conical | x11vnc, correct? | 02:31 |
| === crow is now known as Guest50068 | ||
| ohsix | a7ndrew: there are no panels in unity, just something that looks like one | 02:31 |
| robin0800 | soreau, unity 2d works fine | 02:31 |
| nit-wit | elsoja, boot a live Ubuntu cd and follow the next pastebin to install lilo it will boot XP. | 02:31 |
| Guest50068 | just installed 11.04 trying to use the clearlooks theme..it works on many windows, but not on fire foxes windows? | 02:31 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | Why doesn't apt-get / synaptic / updates / kpackagekit / whatever download and install things as soon as they're downloaded, unless they're dependent on another download that hasn't completed yet? It would be more efficient that way... | 02:31 |
| ohsix | Guest50068: firefox does its own ui | 02:31 |
| elsoja | Herbs: i cant boot windows | 02:31 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | such as if you have a list of 20 things, it waits til they're all downloaded before installing them | 02:32 |
| ohsix | Guest50068: clearlooks will apply to buttons and some things, but not overall | 02:32 |
| Herbs | elsoja what about safe mode? | 02:32 |
| Xylch | Does unity use notify-osd? | 02:32 |
| Soothsayer | I'm on the Natty live cd right now.. it has detected my wifi right thought not sound or the dual monitors.. | 02:32 |
| Soothsayer | should I just go ahead and install it ? | 02:32 |
| ohsix | Spaz_Dynamic: because it extracts all of the package information to do an atomic application of the packages | 02:32 |
| freeman_ | where is my show desktop button in unity? | 02:32 |
| Guest50068 | ohsix...can I change it some how on firefox? | 02:32 |
| nit-wit | elsoja, http://pastebin.com/E48YvGxw | 02:32 |
| elsoja | Herbs: neither | 02:32 |
| ohsix | Spaz_Dynamic: it's faster, and it needs all the packages to apply to do it | 02:32 |
| === andrew_ is now known as Guest84245 | ||
| Soothsayer | I believe the right drivers for graphic card, etc can be configured after installation ? | 02:33 |
| ohsix | Guest50068: not in a manner that will probably get you what you want :\ | 02:33 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | ohsix: "atomic application" ? | 02:33 |
| elsoja | nit-wit: can i do this from a live cd? | 02:33 |
| Herbs | elsoja have you fixed the boot record or tried installing grub? | 02:33 |
| ohsix | Spaz_Dynamic: done in one go, or not done at all | 02:33 |
| m1ck3y | I'm experiencing extremely slow download speeds (both wired and wireless). They're less that 1/4 the speed the same computer gets on Windows, where do I look for help? | 02:33 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| Guest50068 | oh six..just hoping to get the closing x on the right :) | 02:33 |
| ohsix | Spaz_Dynamic: installing 100 packages one a ta time is different than installing them in one step | 02:33 |
| elsoja | Herbs: i coundt install grub | 02:33 |
| gogeta | m1ck3y: the repos are flodded so it may just be slowness of the internet | 02:33 |
| linuxman410 | anyone know about intel graphic cards | 02:34 |
| m1ck3y | gogeta: Oh ok, thanks for the heads up. | 02:34 |
| Tekk_ | linuxman410: what about them? | 02:34 |
| conical | ohsix, so, a simpler question | 02:34 |
| diemos | erm, quick question: How do you un-zoom? I somehow triggered the stupid accessability zoom function and can't get ou tof it lol | 02:34 |
| ohsix | Guest50068: that'd be something your window decorator needs to be told to do; either from compiz or if it's metacity, in it's gconf settings | 02:34 |
| Slimcea_boy | Can I use an desktop install iso so my upgrade doesn't have to go to network, or does that only work with the alternate CD? | 02:34 |
| Herbs | elsoja dont look good then Im afraid :( | 02:34 |
| conical | I have partitions that I could access just fine if I had mounted them using gnome | 02:34 |
| nit-wit | elsoja, read the paste from a live ubuntu cd open softwrae sorces, you may have to right click the menu to tick it on open the software sources 1st tab 2nd box universe click active let it reload and follow the commands.. | 02:34 |
| conical | I can't do it using a gnome session (i've tried) | 02:34 |
| conical | remotely | 02:34 |
| ohsix | Slimcea_boy: only the alternate | 02:35 |
| Hello71 | diemos: Hold Super and rotate the mouse scroll wheel. | 02:35 |
| linuxman410 | Tekk i have a 845 ge that only has one resolution and no monitor listed how do i fix | 02:35 |
| Slimcea_boy | ohsix: ok, can you point me at the instructions for doing this, I can't seem to find them :\ | 02:35 |
| ohsix | Slimcea_boy: the livecd is cloned to the systen with a regular livecd, the alternate has packages on it | 02:35 |
| MarcN1 | wrt my Natty hang on hp2133 notebook, it may be related to wireless. Disabling wifi seems to stop it from hanging -- and severely limiting its usefulness... | 02:35 |
| diemos | Hello71: orz, I thought I'd tried that. Thanks. | 02:35 |
| ohsix | MarcN1: what wifi hw? | 02:36 |
| MarcN1 | ohsix: checking. | 02:37 |
| andrew__ | I have a question. What does Upgrading Ubuntu do? | 02:37 |
| Xylch | Does unity use notify-osd? I am not getting any pop-ups | 02:37 |
| Herbs | upgrades it :) define upgrading | 02:37 |
| ohsix | andrew__: it changes the release name and switches to that releases package versions | 02:38 |
| MarcN1 | ohsix: Broadcom BCM4311 a/b/g rev 02 | 02:38 |
| andrew__ | Clicking Upgrade in the update manager | 02:38 |
| tase | is there a way to get the right alt to change workspaces with a us international layout with dead keys ? | 02:38 |
| PovAddict | will there be an Ubuntu variant with GNOME, just like Kubuntu has KDE? | 02:38 |
| Hello71 | PovAddict: ? | 02:38 |
| MK`` | That's what everyone has in the back of their head PovAddict: Gubuntu 11.11 | 02:38 |
| MarcN1 | ohsix: enabling wifi, to see if that causes a hang | 02:38 |
| gogeta | PovAddict: there is | 02:39 |
| gogeta | PovAddict: just not a offical kindda like lubuntu isnt | 02:39 |
| Herbs | PovAddict even if there isnt this is ?Linux you can do what you want with it if they never realease another gnome distro you can always install gnome | 02:39 |
| ohsix | MarcN1: ah, you could try installing bcmwl-kernel-source, it's the proprietary driver, but i've had luck with it on my netbook (namely it doesn't drop connections in a manner that would seem to suggest the wifi chipset is overheating) | 02:39 |
| gogeta | PovAddict: the lxde varent | 02:39 |
| MarcN1 | ohsix: yup Broadcom BCM4311 wifi borks natty on my notebook | 02:39 |
| MarcN1 | ohsix: I'd be happy with no hangs! | 02:39 |
| PovAddict | seems weird that GNOME is now less officially-supported than XFCE... :/ | 02:40 |
| thanos | hello! | 02:40 |
| gogeta | PovAddict: http://ugr.teampr0xy.net/ | 02:40 |
| Herbs | again this is Linux who cares about the gui :) | 02:40 |
| taglass | PovAddict: The default environment is gnome.. How is that less supported? | 02:40 |
| PovAddict | taglass: that's not gnome, that's unity | 02:40 |
| ohsix | MarcN1: was that an upgrade or a new install? if the former it might like a firmware update | 02:40 |
| thanos | i have problem with fsck.btrfs | 02:40 |
| gogeta | taglass: its unity bascily a relly relly bad ui | 02:41 |
| ohsix | PovAddict: gnome is 99.99% of what makes ubuntu go | 02:41 |
| OchoZero9 | ohsix: i installed ubuntu-desktop. After I restarted I selected ubuntu and all I saw was Icons and a background. Alt F2 didn't even work. Now I'm in ubuntu classic (no effect) | 02:41 |
| robin0800 | PovAddict, and classic is gnome | 02:41 |
| gogeta | taglass: that uses gnome | 02:41 |
| taglass | PovAddict: Unity is simply the windowmanager. When you use compiz insteda of metacity is it not still gnome? | 02:41 |
| ohsix | PovAddict: unity is 0.001%, and it's a plugin for an alternate window manager, compiz | 02:41 |
| thanos | i can't see my data in my partition ? any idea? | 02:41 |
| MK`` | Compiz is the window manager, Unity is the shell, to be more precise. | 02:41 |
| PovAddict | even before they called it unity, ubuntu was modifying the hell out of gnome upstream | 02:41 |
| gogeta | yes and the shell is everything | 02:41 |
| Herbs | regardless of what the distro is released with you can always install whatever desktop you want and remove any you dont guys this aintgg windows | 02:41 |
| tase | How do I reorder the close / minimize / maximize buttons in gconf-editor | 02:42 |
| OchoZero9 | If you look in the compiz website .. it's now going to be easier to port apps from mac windows and linux | 02:42 |
| ohsix | MK``: the shell is still separate, but it does meld a few things; it's just a plugin for compiz | 02:42 |
| MarcN1 | ohsix: natty & wifi works on my old hp nc6000 just fine. | 02:42 |
| gogeta | the rest is just gtk | 02:42 |
| PovAddict | OchoZero9: ? | 02:42 |
| ohsix | OchoZero9: why would that be? | 02:42 |
| robin0800 | and metacity is the window manager for unity 2d | 02:42 |
| ohsix | PovAddict: no they weren't (modifying) | 02:42 |
| r000t | ohsix: did you ever get those pastes? | 02:42 |
| MK`` | Ooh I didn't know what ohsix | 02:42 |
| MarcN1 | ohsix: and not the hp elitebook 8530w which I think uses a similar broadcom. | 02:43 |
| ohsix | PovAddict: in fact you can still go look at the patches ubuntu maintains outside of gnome and that they couldn't get upstream | 02:43 |
| george__ | After tried an upgrade to 11.04, I've got this http://pastie.org/1845644. And my dpkg --audit returns me this http://pastie.org/1845647. Any help, please? | 02:43 |
| OchoZero9 | in win 8 aero is going to be worked by compiz , i don't understand those technical terms though | 02:43 |
| ohsix | MarcN1: dunno, chances are it's the bios or something; crashing problems are really lame | 02:43 |
| MK`` | Ubuntu will be Gnome 2 with Unity; the inevitably Gubuntu will be Gnome 3 :P | 02:43 |
| === aaron is now known as Guest74099 | ||
| PovAddict | OchoZero9: dude, that was an April Fools joke | 02:43 |
| OchoZero9 | oh ok | 02:43 |
| OchoZero9 | got me | 02:43 |
| MarcN1 | ohsix: technically a hang ;-) | 02:43 |
| Guest74099 | does anyone know why my memory may be pegging out, I have had issues lately with webpages freezing and it says the system may be out of memory, so i actually checked this time and cpu2 was maxed out at 100%? | 02:43 |
| OchoZero9 | you can still make ugly gtk apps | 02:43 |
| ohsix | MarcN1: really lame that they crash for one, but also generally really lame as to the root cause | 02:43 |
| Herbs | Linux is a shell the gui is just a frontend for the shell you can use any you want so why moan | 02:44 |
| OchoZero9 | any how | 02:44 |
| ohsix | Herbs: linux is a kernel, what you think of the shell is probably a getty on one of the virtual terminals | 02:44 |
| OchoZero9 | How do I get unity touch? | 02:44 |
| gogeta | Herbs: why did gnome and cannel decide to screw up gnome | 02:44 |
| Herbs | oshix Im putting it in simple terms :) | 02:44 |
| robin0800 | remove unity and install gnome3 if you wish | 02:44 |
| ManateeLazyCat | Hi all, I install gnome3 on Ubuntu 11.04, how to remove "Windows key" from global binding? Since Alt+F1 same as "Windows key" | 02:44 |
| ohsix | OchoZero9: afaik there are no special steps, if unity 3d doesn't run on your device you can always try unity2d | 02:45 |
| Jon4248 | okay, so question, I have unreal 2004 installed. When I create a launcher on my desktop to ut2004-bin it doesn't launch...nothing happens. However, if I open it from the ut2004/system dir the game will open...what am I doing wrong? | 02:45 |
| gogeta | Herbs: questions with no answers there | 02:45 |
| ManateeLazyCat | Thaks! :) | 02:45 |
| ohsix | gogeta: what? | 02:45 |
| OchoZero9 | why wouldn't it run ? | 02:45 |
| gogeta | ohsix: gnome shell and unity both sucking | 02:45 |
| MarcN1 | ohsix: ah, the nc6000 wifi is an Atheros. | 02:45 |
| ohsix | gogeta: you know gnome is a huge collection of software, the window manager and nautilus are small but important constituent parts | 02:45 |
| thanos | someboby knows about fsck.btrfs? i cant se my data in my disk after update to 11.04 | 02:45 |
| Ziber | So I had a lot of trouble with my audio working in ubuntu 10.10, now I'm trying to get my built in mic on my toshiba laptop to work. Is there a group I should be added to for this to work? | 02:45 |
| ohsix | gogeta: that's your opinion, and it doesn't bear repeating; go talk to them about how you think you can improve them | 02:45 |
| ohsix | MarcN1: ah, ath9k? i have an ath5k too and it works great | 02:46 |
| Herbs | gogeta I have no idea Im not an Ubuntu user Im a red hat admin , I just happened to pop in here yesterday and found the people where nice | 02:46 |
| gogeta | ohsix: fork gnome 2 problem fixed | 02:46 |
| Flynsarmy | Has anyone noticed that with the new scrollbars you can't click on, for instance, the bottom half of the scrollbar when the scroller is at the top anymore? because no scroller appears down there when you mouse over | 02:46 |
| ManateeLazyCat | Anybody know how to remove "windows key" from gnome3? | 02:46 |
| Macer | know this might sounds like a bad one but.. in order to change the name of a grp all i do is edit /etc/group and rename the group? | 02:46 |
| MarcN1 | ohsix: Atheros AR5001X+, which is working fine. | 02:46 |
| ohsix | gogeta: why do you need to? do you even know what the terms you're using are? | 02:46 |
| ManateeLazyCat | Or how to customize keyshort in Gnome3, any tool? | 02:46 |
| sushemsu | is there a way to get proprietary drivers on my toshiba on board graphics to get graphics working all cool liuke | 02:46 |
| OchoZero9 | why wouldn't unity 3d run on my computer? I don't have agraphics card and starcraft II runs perfectly in 3d mode | 02:46 |
| nowherefast | ohsix: i tested different drivers on the netbook (eee) and the ath9k driver works in ubuntu 9.04 but not in 10.10... weird huh | 02:46 |
| ChronicSyncope | upon update to 11.04 i can't get desktop cube working. every time i try to start it, it breaks the gnome window manager | 02:46 |
| ohsix | gogeta: gnome3 is a deprecation and migration effort largely centered around gtk and the libraries nearly always used alongside it | 02:46 |
| gogeta | ohsix: becouse gnome 3 droped metacity and are using gnome shell | 02:46 |
| MarcN1 | ohsix: my corp laptop may use broadcom, not upgrading that until natty is out a bit longer | 02:47 |
| ohsix | gogeta: there is also gnome-shell | 02:47 |
| ohsix | gogeta: no they didn't | 02:47 |
| Jon4248 | okay, so question, I have unreal 2004 installed. When I create a launcher on my desktop to ut2004-bin it doesn't launch...nothing happens. However, if I open it from the ut2004/system dir the game will open...what am I doing wrong? | 02:47 |
| Jon4248 | im using 11.04 btw | 02:47 |
| kusanagi | how do you use your second monitor in a dual monitor setup with unity? when I move windows to edge of one screen, they maximize in the middle of the screen :S | 02:47 |
| ohsix | nowherefast: dunno if that's weird, i do know there was a firmware transition in that timeframe | 02:47 |
| soreau | ohsix: Don't OT me when I'm talking about unity | 02:47 |
| gogeta | ohsix: well i dont care anyways its just gonna spell doom for gtk | 02:47 |
| ohsix | soreau: it is offtopic, we support it, we don't care what you think about it | 02:47 |
| OchoZero9 | why wouldn't unity 3d run on my computer? I don't have agraphics card and starcraft II runs perfectly in 3d mode | 02:47 |
| ohsix | gogeta: you don't know what you are talking about, at all | 02:47 |

| soreau | ohsix: The default wm scheme in ubuntu 11.04? | 02:48 |
| Herbs | if you need a gui so bad why use Linux? | 02:48 |
| Jon4248 | OchoZero9, what video card do you have? | 02:48 |
| ohsix | gogeta: i know that, you are making statements and i am reading them | 02:48 |

| ohsix | soreau: "unity sucks" is not a support question | 02:48 |
| Soothsayer | ok someone please help me here. I'm on the install screen. I want to dual boot Ubuntu with Windows 7.. I created an ext4 partition and picked it during installation. Now what do I pick for "Device for booter loader installation?" | 02:48 |
| soreau | ohsix: I didn't say it sucked | 02:48 |
| OchoZero9 | I don't have any | 02:48 |

| Herbs | is 11.04 LTS? | 02:49 |
| soreau | ohsix: As a support helper, you should ask why one thinks that and try to help them with the specific problem they're having | 02:49 |
| Bluebill-Wolf | i need a hand with something | 02:49 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: isn't that awesome, i've had a hell of a time with compiz .9 too | 02:49 |
| Soothsayer | Jon4248: I have two hard drives now. | 02:49 |
| gogeta | ohsix: same for e17 | 02:49 |
| AndrewMC | !lts | 02:49 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 02:49 |
| soreau | ohsix: By saying "#ubuntu-offtopic" that | 02:49 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, haven't solved the problem? | 02:49 |
| gogeta | ohsix: i have been around longer then you think | 02:49 |
| ohsix | gogeta: you are thinking of a past that didn't exist | 02:49 |
| taglass | gogeta: To be fair most of the peopel I've seen that said they were leaving gnome were going to xfce... Guess what toolkit that uses? :) | 02:49 |
| soreau | ohsix: By saying "#ubuntu-offtopic" that's just like saying you know it is just that | 02:49 |
| Bluebill-Wolf | how do you do the recovary off an instalation disk? | 02:49 |
| Soothsayer | Jon4248: one is the one with Windows 7 and where I also plan to install Ubuntu OS... the other is for data only. | 02:49 |
| gogeta | ohsix: or even xfree | 02:49 |
| soreau | ohsix: admittance | 02:49 |
| Jon4248 | oh, it may not be supported. maybe find out what name/model of it is | 02:49 |
| ohsix | gogeta: do you remember qpl? | 02:49 |
| Herbs | Andrew I know what LTS is thanks I asked if 11.04 is | 02:49 |
| ohsix | gogeta: and you remember how it was a joke that e17 was never finished | 02:50 |
| robin0800 | ChronicSyncope, if your in classic that may not use compiz but metacity | 02:50 |
| AndrewMC | Herbs: no it's not | 02:50 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, how do i at least restart the wm? | 02:50 |
| Flynsarmy | Herbs: 12.04 is the next LTS | 02:50 |
| Jon4248 | Soothsayer, the install will add windows 7 to grub boot menu | 02:50 |
| Bluebill-Wolf | how do you do the recovary off an instalation disk? | 02:50 |
| zma | Does 32-bit desktop edition of Ubuntu 10.04 have Qt libraries installed by default? I can only find references that netbook edition has. | 02:50 |

| gogeta | ohsix: they all had there high useage times | 02:50 |
| ChronicSyncope | robin0800, classic always used to use compiz... | 02:50 |
| extraclassic | gogeta: have you tried kde 4.6 | 02:50 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: it should have already, but eh, you could try alt+f2 and typing in compiz --replace | 02:50 |

| Soothsayer | right? | 02:50 |

| Jon4248 | Soothsayer, yes. | 02:50 |
| Bluebill-Wolf | how do you do the recovary off an instalation disk? | 02:51 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, nope... still nothing. | 02:51 |
| Soothsayer | Jon4248: /dev/sdb ATA ST... (500.1 GB) | 02:51 |
| Flynsarmy | ChronicSyncope: it still does. I've got ccsm installed and was mucking around with the settings last night. after removing unity that is | 02:51 |
| extraclassic | gogeta: was gonna say if you're unhappy with unity & gnome 3, kde 4.6 is better than gnome 2.32 | 02:51 |

| Jon4248 | Soothsayer, this is for the boot loader right? | 02:51 |
| ChronicSyncope | Flynsarmy, I'm using classic, so unity should be off... hopefully | 02:51 |
| Soothsayer | Jon4248: yes | 02:51 |
| ohsix | soreau: #ubuntu-offtopic is for those statements if you would like to keep making them, particularly the adjective is useless to anyone in here | 02:51 |
| gogeta | extraclassic: using it on my netbook | 02:51 |
| ohsix | extraclassic: lawl | 02:51 |
| kusanagi | a7ndrew thanks, any bug link i can follow up? | 02:51 |
| Jon4248 | Soothsayer, then yes. you'll see what i mean when you reboot after the install. | 02:51 |
| ohsix | gogeta: oh you've shown your cards then, you really do not know anything and merely believe you're above the fray | 02:52 |
| Flynsarmy | ChronicSyncope: can't help you with the cube thing - i don't use it. just wanted to mention that compiz seems to work fine - was tweeking madly to get things working/looking right and nothing seemed to break | 02:52 |
| Soothsayer | Jon4248: ok. | 02:52 |
| Jon4248 | it just shows a simple text menu after with ubuntu or windows 7 (loader) | 02:52 |

| Jon4248 | Soothsayer, yes | 02:56 |
| Soothsayer | Jon4248: no I did not! :-| *cross checks* .. no i didn't! p | 02:56 |
| Jon4248 | :) | 02:56 |
| coz_ | ManateeLazyCat, not that I am aware of no... | 02:56 |
| Herbs | soothsayer they dont have to be on different disks just use different partitions | 02:56 |
| MK`` | Andrey_BTI I actually had a similar issue and it ended up being a bug in nautilus. I'd make sure the workgroup is correct, the permissions on the share are correct, etc. | 02:56 |
| atpa8a | ohsix: in 10.10 i could use the BCM driver | 02:56 |
| arand | thanos: sdXY representing your /home btrfs partition. | 02:57 |
| Soothsayer | Herbs: well, I don't have any partitions.. but I have a lot of unallocated space on the other disk. | 02:57 |
| ManateeLazyCat | coz_: Even hacking way? I guess gnome developer must have some code do those? | 02:57 |
| spungo | If this is the *Official* suport channel, can I assume Canonical staff are on-line here? If so, how am I to distinguish between staff and "n00bz"? | 02:57 |
| ohsix | atpa8a: in 11.04 you can too, but you should try the included drivers | 02:57 |
| atpa8a | trying fwcutter | 02:57 |
| Ziber | could someone explain to me what pulseaudio is exactly? | 02:57 |
| Jon4248 | we | 02:57 |
| ohsix | spungo: they are not | 02:57 |
| Andrey_BTI | And second time i try to connect to winnetwork - i can't see anything, nor a share folders, nor a server list | 02:57 |
| ManateeLazyCat | coz_: or they hard-coding it? | 02:57 |
| ohsix | spungo: if they are they will not be here in that capacity | 02:57 |
| gogeta | spungo: communty help no cannel | 02:57 |
| Herbs | soothsayer there is no issues with puting them on another disk so yes go ahead | 02:57 |
| atpa8a | ohsix: how do you mean "included"? | 02:57 |
| RedLance | Ok, I'm trying to make an .iso image of a bootable dvd, and I'm using dd if=/dev/sr1 of=filename.iso and it keeps giving me an I/O error and copies 16kB...the drive is not mounted. Any help please? | 02:57 |

| mickster04 | shane4ubuntu: compiz | 02:58 |
| Soothsayer | Herbs, Jon4248 : So /home and /var go to two separate partitions on another disk? | 02:58 |
| MK`` | Andrey_BTI: if it worked fine, you didn't change any settings and it suddenly stopped working, it may be the nautilus bug I encountered | 02:58 |

| thanos | arand_, i dont want to make it home again but only to see the data | 02:58 |
| ohsix | atpa8a: well the kernel has drivers, it needs the firmware; but theres also bcmwl-kernel-source which is the proprietary driver, i thought you were talking about the latter, but then you mentioned fwcutter | 02:58 |
| MK`` | because I could use other file managers and it worked fine | 02:58 |
| Herbs | soothsayer yes totally no probs in doing that | 02:58 |
| Jon4248 | Soothsayer, if thats what you want. | 02:58 |
| === pro is now known as Pro-Racing | ||
| shane4ubuntu | mickster04: like before, just enable them through the appearance menu | 02:58 |
| arand | thanos: Ok, if you mount that with th eoptions I gave, and look in /mnt, do you see your old data along with the new @home subvolume? | 02:58 |
| atpa8a | ohsix: oh :) i don't care which ever way it works | 02:58 |
| Jon4248 | Soothsayer, some people just make a / mount | 02:58 |
| Soothsayer | Herbs, Jon4248 : /var is where MySQL, etc store the databases if I'm not mistaken ? | 02:58 |
| brewster | i have graphics and wireless drivers installed. will i lose them when i upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04? | 02:58 |
| Andrey_BTI | I try connect third time and i recieve messages - i can't recieve shared folders. I install ubuntu 11 now, a didn't change anythings | 02:59 |
| atpa8a | ohsix: so far neither method is working | 02:59 |
| Jon4248 | Soothsayer, **shrugs*** | 02:59 |
| Soothsayer | Jon4248: ? | 02:59 |
| ohsix | atpa8a: ok, well in the fwcutter package theres a script that will install it for you | 02:59 |
| Jon4248 | Dont use MySQL lol | 02:59 |
| mickster04 | shane4ubuntu: ? | 02:59 |
| celeryman | ubuntu 11.04 shotwell does nothing when selected to open? | 02:59 |
| Soothsayer | Jon4248: oh c'mon, thats unjustified... | 02:59 |
| robin0800 | brewster, it depends on the hardware | 02:59 |
| ohsix | atpa8a: dpkg -L b43-fwcutter will list the files installed & the script's name will be in there | 02:59 |
| shane4ubuntu | I just looked, and it isn't there mickster04, I guess I need to install compiz? | 02:59 |
| Herbs | soothsaye sometimes it does depends on the build if you use Plesk it will be var but you can always sym link it to another partition if you run out of space | 02:59 |
| Andrey_BTI | and server with russian name don't showing correctly, language updates was installed | 03:00 |
| taglass | Soothsayer: I think he was saying that he doesn't use it. | 03:00 |
| Soothsayer | taglass: then it wouldn't have needed the 'lol' :) | 03:00 |
| arand | gogeta: btrfs does not need an ext boot for grub, however it will report an error which you will have to press out of on each boot if you do not have one. | 03:00 |

| Soothsayer | ok now im totally confused as to how much size to give each | 03:01 |
| Bronz | Oh, lots of traffic. I hope I get some attention. I just downloaded 11.04 and tried to run it, but the graphical environment would fail to load. I'd get the "ubuntu" splash screen (with the progressive dots), then blink to a garbage screen of static, and the computer would freeze. I have a run-of-the-mill 2Ghz AMD machine, my video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT, 256Mb... If I can get it to boot the graphical environment, I should be fine. | 03:01 |
| arand | gogeta: I think this is in the relese notes... | 03:01 |
| thanos | arand_, ok wait to reboot | 03:01 |
| Soothsayer | what size should each mount point / partition be? | 03:01 |
| Jon4248 | Soothsayer, thats up to your needs | 03:01 |
| Soothsayer | I had allocated 60 gb to this ext4 earlier assuming it would be the single mount point / | 03:01 |
| arand | thanos: Reboot won't change anything regarding the btrfs.. | 03:01 |

| thanos | arand_, i made some updates and need reboot | 03:02 |
| Soothsayer | Herbs: ok. | 03:02 |
| arand | gogeta: Heh, I did a /lastlog btrfs ;) | 03:02 |

| atpa8a | hey... what's the problem with btrfs? | 03:02 |
| ohsix | MarcN1: i had a freeze problem with mine too; it would prevent it from booting though, ssb/b43 had a problem that when they were loaded it'd succeed without a freeze less than half the time, that' was awesome | 03:02 |
| Soothsayer | Jon4248, Herbs: what else goes in /var ? (Besides MySQL which im aware of) | 03:02 |
| ohsix | MarcN1: but i got it fixed by talkingwith the developer :] | 03:02 |

| victory747 | I noticed on http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/features/office-applications that "Quicken" is listed as available in the Ubuntu Software Center. But I don't see quicken in there. Is quicken available for Ubuntu? Or are they just saying this meaning HomeBank or GNUCash? | 03:03 |

| Soothsayer | I'm going to be mainly using this workstation for web / database development. | 03:03 |
| ohsix | MarcN1: oh that's what you posted, thanks for filing a bug | 03:03 |
| Herbs | if you use qmail sometimes that use /var also | 03:03 |
| shane4ubuntu | half of the warning box is off the screen so I can read it. ugg. | 03:03 |
| RedLance | Ok...before I upgrade to Ubuntu 11, how can I figure out why 10 crashes my system, when 9 dosen't? | 03:03 |
| Soothsayer | Jon4248: I see. | 03:03 |
| arand | atpa8a: Likewise, (In noted that you can use btrfs without /boot, though you will see an error each boot and need to press to continue.) | 03:03 |
| gogeta | arand: so it can be a pure root fs now grub2 finnly supports it | 03:03 |
| MarcN1 | ohsix: tomorrow I'll grab bcmwl-kernel-source and try that route. Maybe just wipe and see how the install goes. | 03:03 |
| nandaram | hello massively sized channel | 03:04 |
| Jon4248 | hello nandaram | 03:04 |
| gogeta | arand: i did a diffrent hack to install os on compressed fs | 03:04 |
| Nightshade_ | so anyone who wants to pm me about your first impressions of natty | 03:04 |
| ohsix | MarcN1: can you try installing linux-backports-modules-net-natty-generic and see if it still freezes after a reboot? | 03:04 |
| ohsix | MarcN1: that's one of the first thing someone will ask you to try | 03:04 |
| nandaram | may i ask for the simpist procedure to get 8 ttys on default boot | 03:04 |
| Soothsayer | Do you guys normally store your data files under the /home directory? Like say documents, pictures, reports, code projects, design projects, etc? | 03:04 |
| gogeta | arand: full kubuntu install btrfs compressed 1.2 gb | 03:04 |
| Jon4248 | Nightshade_, Natty rocks | 03:04 |
| mordof | ok, got Natty finally loaded | 03:04 |
| ohsix | Soothsayer: yep, i do | 03:04 |
| taglass | Soothsayer: I do | 03:05 |
| nowherefast | what version of ubuntu is natty? | 03:05 |
| Jon4248 | Soothsayer, yes, thats the idea of home | 03:05 |
| Herbs | soothsayer but if you run out of space you can always sym link to another partition | 03:05 |
| ohsix | Soothsayer: i also tried to ask you before you left, what crashes? | 03:05 |
| mordof | nowherefast: 11.04 | 03:05 |
| arand | gogeta: grub doesn't support it completely, the grubenv file can't be written to it seems, which is what makes it error | 03:05 |
| nandaram | fyi im drunk as hell and running a new version | 03:05 |
| mordof | nowherefast: 11* | 03:05 |
| Nightshade_ | Jon4248, i just wanted to know what to expect cuz im upgrading right now ^_^ | 03:05 |
| MarcN1 | Soothsayer: yes that is standard use of /home | 03:05 |
| mordof | anyone know if it's possible to dock the launcher on the bottom of the screen? | 03:05 |
| gogeta | arand: still bootable? | 03:05 |
| arand | gogeta: It is normally not needed, but it causes issues though. | 03:05 |
| mordof | i use dual monitor and the launcher is in a VERY boad spot! | 03:05 |
| Jon4248 | ah | 03:05 |
| Soothsayer | ohsix: Sorry if I left abruptly. What crashes where? Refresh my memory please | 03:05 |
| amy_ | I just upgraded to Natty Narwhal (11.04) and my desktop seems to have changed quite a bit. Can I revert to the classic look, rather than the scrolling sidebar thing? | 03:05 |
| Soothsayer | Herbs: oh ye symlink it. | 03:05 |
| Soothsayer | ok | 03:05 |
| robin0800 | mordof, no | 03:05 |
| atpa8a | arand: does that error not timeout? | 03:06 |
| mordof | robin0800: it's not possible or you don't know? | 03:06 |
| gogeta | arand: well i made a 100mb ext4 anyways | 03:06 |
| Jon4248 | amy_, logout and select classic then login | 03:06 |
| nandaram | is there documentation for upgrade from old long term to new long term | 03:06 |
| gogeta | arand: being i never got a answer | 03:06 |
| IdleOne | amy_: yes, you need to log out and at the login screen click on the Session button at the bottom | 03:06 |
| shane4ubuntu | ohhh, great, I messed with compiz and now unity is broken, no menus, no sidebar thingy that isn't good | 03:06 |
| arand | gogeta: You get a "press any key to continue", but otherwise seems fine, I'm not sure how it works with non-standard stuff like compression and so, presumably it should be fine.. | 03:06 |
| lestat_ | lol | 03:06 |
| Herbs | soothsayer yeah a sym link i.e ln -s /var/home/var | 03:06 |
| shane4ubuntu | alt-tab does nothing | 03:06 |
| gogeta | arand: but with the zlib enabled i got more space outta my ssd anyways | 03:06 |
| nandaram | does anyone know what an inittab is? | 03:06 |
| robin0800 | amy_, yes logout and choose classic | 03:06 |
| Herbs | soothsayer yeah a sym link i.e ln -s /var/ home/var (correction) | 03:06 |
| kzman | hi, i cant change the display brightness, on ubuntu, is a driver missing? | 03:06 |

| nandaram | shane4ubuntu: ctrl+alt+f2 | 03:07 |
| celeryman | does anyone know how to get shotwell working in 11.04, does nothing when trying to open | 03:07 |
| shane4ubuntu | any ideas on how to fix this? apparently compiz and unity are not friendly with each other | 03:07 |
| Herbs | that will then put anything written to /var to /home/var in that example | 03:07 |
| gogeta | arand: its it takes a hack to do it bascily as soon as the installer make the part you remount it with the compression flage | 03:07 |
| mordof | robin0800: k... i get that it matches the design - but there's glitches/bugs when using two monitors (one to the left of the launcher) ;_; | 03:07 |
| mordof | this isawful!!! | 03:07 |
| thanos | arand, what can i do now | 03:07 |
| Nightshade_ | shane4ubuntu, i dont know yet, havent had a chance to look at it | 03:07 |
| gogeta | arand: its aculy very responsiv | 03:07 |
| rileyp | is there any way a remote can letters in x with 1 -9 buttons | 03:07 |
| shane4ubuntu | nandaram: that is a virtual terminal what do I do once I'm there? | 03:07 |
| Soothsayer | Jon4248, Herbs, ohsix, taglass: So 20 GB for UbuntuOS ( sda1 with mount point '/' ), 100 GB for data files ( sdb1 with mount point '/home') , 100 GB for databases, etc ( sdb2 with mount point '/var' ) ? <--- makes sense? | 03:07 |

| nandaram | shane4ubuntu: default install pulls up 6 ttys you fucked your xserver im drunk pm me ill swear in channel getting compiz up in ubuntu should be cake work | 03:08 |
| arand | gogeta: So basically you halt after partitioning step in d-i and remount? | 03:08 |
| tase | Is it possible to /not/ download stuff when installing ubuntu ? | 03:08 |
| nandaram | and these ppl suck so im out... seriously where the fuck is the default boot spread threw | 03:08 |
| arand | thanos: Ok, re-do the mount I gave you | 03:08 |
| robin0800 | mordof, thats a bug | 03:08 |

| amorton | is it possible to share a DVD burner over the network, so it can be used directly from a netbook without one? | 03:08 |
| shane4ubuntu | nandaram: I like the channel no swear policy thanks anyway | 03:08 |
| arand | thanos: Do this "sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt -o defaults,subvolid=0" | 03:08 |
| amorton | both using ubuntu | 03:08 |
| gogeta | arand: it doesent notec the swap out | 03:08 |
| ManateeLazyCat | I shouldn't install Ubuntu-11.04 or Gnome3 | 03:08 |
| Jon4248 | shane4ubuntu, ctrl+alt+f1 >> then login >> type sudo service gdm restart | 03:09 |
| thanos | arand, ok | 03:09 |
| ChronicSyncope | well F. how do i get compiz working in unity? right now it just disappears everything. | 03:09 |
| shane4ubuntu | Jon4248: is that going to reboot it? | 03:09 |
| arand | thanos: then have a look in /mnt. | 03:09 |
| Herbs | soothsayer yeah that looks fine although you might not need 20gb for / | 03:09 |
| ManateeLazyCat | I'm a keyboard guy, i hate any system eat my keyshortcut and i even can't chane it. | 03:09 |
| OchoZero9 | So what's the deal with the 3D? | 03:09 |
| mordof | anyone know where i'd report bugs about the Unity launcher in Natty? | 03:09 |
| OchoZero9 | why it doesnt work for me? | 03:09 |
| Jon4248 | shane4ubuntu, yes, the gdm | 03:09 |
| gogeta | arand: in fedora you can just add the flage ubuntu hasent added it yet | 03:09 |
| mordof | i've got 2 that need addressing >.<; | 03:09 |
| arand | thanos: Do you see your old data along with the new @home subvolume? | 03:09 |
| shane4ubuntu | Jon4248: but if the settings in compiz aren't right, then that won't change them right? | 03:09 |
| thanos | arand, cant open this folder | 03:10 |
| litropy | What's the version number of the next alpha? | 03:10 |
| gogeta | arand: so after install you gotta add the flage back to fstab as well | 03:10 |
| litropy | e.g. 11.04 | 03:10 |
| arand | gogeta: Ubuntu support for btrfs is kinda wonky.. | 03:10 |
| gogeta | arand: but it works | 03:10 |
| Helpme | can someone help me? | 03:10 |
| rileyp | OchoZero9, perhaps you have 2d eys | 03:10 |
| Soothsayer | Herbs: Maybe for the softwares, etc I install? | 03:10 |
| Jon4248 | shane4ubuntu, maybe | 03:10 |
| ohsix | Soothsayer: you said you were doing raid for robustitigitation in face of crashes, what crashes? | 03:10 |
| shane4ubuntu | Jon4248: seems as though I have lost the windows manager, how can I restart it? | 03:10 |
| OchoZero9 | what utility can i run so it can tell me the specs of my device? | 03:10 |
| robin0800 | mordof, believe if you now swap over monitors its alright | 03:10 |
| taglass | litropy: 11.10 | 03:10 |
| arand | thanos: "cd /mnt; ls" ? | 03:10 |
| Herbs | soothsayer depends on what you install if you can spare it then use it | 03:10 |
| Helpme | my audio in 10.10 stutters. | 03:10 |
| Soothsayer | ohsix: wow, robustitigitation :) nice term.. hard disk crashes I meant back then. | 03:10 |
| thanos | yes its stack | 03:11 |
| woodn | Having some problems with crypt and Jabberd2 following an upgrade to natty... | 03:11 |
| Jon4248 | shane4ubuntu, do you have auto login on? | 03:11 |
| amorton | is it possible to share a DVD burner over the network, so it can be used directly from a netbook without one? | 03:11 |
| OchoZero9 | It should have no problem running 3D . since windows aero works fine, and starcraft II works fine too | 03:11 |
| rileyp | is there any way a remote can type letters in x with the 1 -9 buttons | 03:11 |
| zapradical | i like turtles... and ubuntu 11.04. | 03:11 |
| mordof | robin0800: i just updated to 11.04 today. if i move my mouse over to the second monitor - hover text sticks until moving back | 03:11 |
| Bronz | Oh, lots of traffic. I hope I get some attention. I just downloaded 11.04 and tried to run it, but the graphical environment would fail to load. I'd get the "ubuntu" splash screen (with the progressive dots), then blink to a garbage screen of static, and the computer would freeze. I have a run-of-the-mill 2Ghz AMD machine, my video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT, 256Mb... | 03:11 |
| shane4ubuntu | Jon4248: no, | 03:11 |
| thanos | arand, ls stack | 03:11 |
| woodn | basically - if i try to use crypted passwords in the config - it crashes and complaints about an undefined symbol crypt | 03:11 |
| Soothsayer | Herbs: ye I can spare it now.. shrink it later maybe.. plus I might want to virtualize Windows 7 within Ubuntu too.. maybe virtualbox or vmware. | 03:11 |
| woodn | anyone around here maybe have any experience in this area? | 03:11 |
| mordof | robin0800: in a particular manner at that too. as well, when moving placements, instead of the anim snapping to the unity bar - they snap to the very left of the desktop (the far monitor) | 03:11 |
| Jon4248 | shane4ubuntu, reboot (sudo shutdown now -r) and then log into classic desktop (no effects) | 03:12 |
| ohsix | Soothsayer: ah | 03:12 |
| Herbs | soothsayer no dont shrink later just use symlinks to it | 03:12 |
| ohsix | Soothsayer: for each disk you increase your odds of disk failure :D | 03:12 |
| Surlent777 | hey guys, just had a quick question: I changed the GTK theme in Natty, and I notice most themes create an unsightly black triangle in the resizing corner. Any known way to eliminate that? | 03:12 |
| mordof | robin0800: the second one isn't quite as big of a deal.. but the first one is bugging the hell out of me | 03:12 |
| spungo | How do I enable CPU frequency scaling? [Asus eee 900] It should drop to 620mhz on battery, but doesn't [Ubuntu 10.10] | 03:12 |
| OchoZero9 | The video is built in the processor on a separate die. Intel HD graphics | 03:12 |
| Jon4248 | shane4ubuntu, reconfigure compiz, logout and log back into unity | 03:12 |
| arand | thanos: Hmm, that is odd.. | 03:12 |
| ohsix | spungo: you shouldn't have to enable anyhting it should just work | 03:12 |
| robin0800 | mordof, just report them as bugs in unity 3d | 03:12 |
| celeryman | anyone familier with shotwell | 03:12 |
| thanos | arand, yes | 03:12 |
| rileyp | OchoZero9, you wont get 3d with that then | 03:13 |
| ohsix | spungo: try installing powertop and running it for a while, it might be able to tell you what's keeping it from clocking down; and will tell you what states it's been in and for how long | 03:13 |
| shane4ubuntu | Jon4248: ok, but I'm not sure what to reconfigure compiz back to, I didn't realize it was going to mess up unity with just two clicks of a mouse | 03:13 |
| Soothsayer | Herbs: isn't making too many partitions on the same disk getting redundant? | 03:13 |
| arand | thanos: I'm not sure then, I guess you could try it from a liveCD instead.. | 03:13 |
| Jon4248 | shane4ubuntu, what did you change? | 03:13 |
| Soothsayer | ohsix: well, i distribute the odds rather :) | 03:13 |
| ohsix | rileyp: he should, sandybridge and ironlake are supported by the drivers ... | 03:13 |
| spungo | ohsix: cat /proc/cpuinfo says it's still at 900mhz. | 03:13 |
| thanos | arand, can i recover the data? | 03:13 |
| rileyp | oh ok | 03:13 |
| ohsix | spungo: it might at any given time; that's not an appropriate way to check it | 03:14 |
| rileyp | oh six really 3d? | 03:14 |
| shane4ubuntu | Jon4248: I was going to enable the desktop cube, and then all the warnings popped up mostly off the screen so I couldn't see them. | 03:14 |
| arand | thanos: I had a user before with the same issue, and this worked in that instance | 03:14 |
| cranch | can anyone help me with an apache2 issue? whenever I go to my site via my dyndns name it changes ht eURL in the browser to my IP address | 03:14 |
| Soothsayer | ohsix: anyway, I decide to not do any software raid-1.. manually backup stuff instead. | 03:14 |
| ohsix | Soothsayer: good idea | 03:14 |
| shane4ubuntu | Jon4248: so trying to click through them without knowing what they said, I'm not really sure what I did. | 03:14 |
| ohsix | Soothsayer: it makes you think about it too; it's a handy device | 03:14 |
| Herbs | soothsayer not that Im aware of Im a Red hat admin I look after alot of red hat and centos boxes it will always have its uses installing on one partition increases any recovery time | 03:14 |
| zapradical | are there themes for the empathy irc interface? im not a fan of the bubbles. | 03:14 |
| mordof | also getting rather poor desktop performance... | 03:14 |
| mordof | :\ | 03:14 |
| OchoZero9 | mordof: I'm not getting any desktop performance | 03:15 |
| ohsix | zapradical: i don't know about any themes, but there are a handful of appearances that come with it that you can pick from in the options | 03:15 |
| OchoZero9 | is there a #unity ? | 03:15 |
| mordof | OchoZero9: ? | 03:15 |
| Surlent777 | zapradical: it should take whatever theme you give it in the options. I think it should ship with three or four by default | 03:15 |
| Jon4248 | shane4ubuntu, try this in a terminal gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz | 03:15 |
| thanos | arand, someone told me there is problem with fsck.btrfs | 03:15 |
| mordof | OchoZero9: i mean everything is slow | 03:15 |
| Jon4248 | shane4ubuntu, logout and login | 03:15 |

| xtr3m3 | anyone having issues with freezing/crashing on restart, after upgrading to 11.04? | 03:15 |
| robin0800 | shane4ubuntu, ubuntu don't want you using ccs Mark has said so they are not for users | 03:15 |
| Soothsayer | Herbs: ok, so final call on '/' mount point size then? | 03:15 |
| bittyx-laptop | hey, i've downloaded the 11.04 iso image, and i'm supposed to burn it, but i don't have any empty cd's nearby. i do have dvd's though - can i use a dvd as well? | 03:15 |
| rileyp | cranch, if your ip address is in /etc/hosts it will use dns name I think | 03:15 |
| OchoZero9 | mordof: sorry about that. I just don't have unity for whatever reason | 03:15 |
| zapradical | Surlent777: i dont seem to have an Options menu entry in empathy | 03:15 |
| arand | thanos: Basically, what the problem is MM uses the top-level of the btrfs and dumps all files there, wheras NN sets up subvolumes under the top-level and mounts these instead. This has nothing to do with btrfsck. | 03:16 |
| mordof | OchoZero9: ah - wasn't referring to Unity directly, but that would definately be troublesome | 03:16 |
| shane4ubuntu | robin0800 then how do you change them? | 03:16 |
| Herbs | soothsayert 20gb is fine if you can spare it Id go with a 10gb min | 03:16 |
| spungo | bittyx-laptop: yes | 03:16 |
| cranch | rileyp: so just write an entry in /etc/hosts with IP - fqdn? | 03:16 |
| bittyx-laptop | spungo: thanks. | 03:16 |
| Soothsayer | Herbs: ok. | 03:16 |
| spungo | bittyx-laptop: welcome. | 03:16 |
| ohsix | zapradical: from the mainui, edit -> preferences -> themes tab | 03:16 |
| Soothsayer | i almost deleted my Windows partition... Jon4248, you jinxed me earlier! | 03:16 |
| arand | thanos: Your current NN install is mounting the subvolume, and hence you cannot see the old home files which are in fact above it in the tree. | 03:17 |
| thanos | arand, any tool to recover to scan the partition to find the files? | 03:17 |
| robin0800 | shane4ubuntu, you don't thats the point later there will be a proper gui | 03:17 |
| gogeta | arand: well ill try to install on a zlib compressed root grub2 and see if the system explodes | 03:17 |
| Jon4248 | Soothsayer, lol carefully now...you should really have a backup anyways...but im sure you thought of that right? | 03:17 |
| malv | so what do I do if I have a program that needs the system tray like jupiter? | 03:17 |
| OchoZero9 | how do you get your system information like processor memory graphics? | 03:17 |
| rileyp | cranch if you put an ip adress and its dns name in /etc/hosts rather than typeingthe ip in you can simply type the dns name | 03:17 |
| arand | thanos: No, mounting the top-level with the command give should be enough. | 03:17 |
| * SuBmUnDo is away: http://submworld.blogspot.com/ | 03:17 | |
| Surlent777 | OchoZero9: sudo lshw | less | 03:17 |
| gogeta | arand: ill be compressing everything now even the kernel | 03:17 |
| shane4ubuntu | Jon4248: hmm, that didn't seem to fix it, still no windows manager. | 03:17 |
| cranch | rileyp: oh this is external | 03:18 |
| shane4ubuntu | brb] | 03:18 |
| ohsix | SuBmUnDo: don't spam the channel please, with away messages or url's | 03:18 |
| cranch | port-forwarded out the FW | 03:18 |
| arand | thanos: Did you use any non-standard options for btrfs, compression or so? | 03:18 |
| Jon4248 | shane4ubuntu, at this point you could of reinstalled natty by now...you might as well do that. | 03:18 |
| xangua | !away > SuBmUnDo | 03:18 |
| ubottu | SuBmUnDo, please see my private message | 03:18 |
| cranch | go to dyndns entry from the outside and it rewrites the dyndns to my external IP | 03:18 |
| dtcummin | How can I extned an extended partition to consume some freed from another primary partition? | 03:18 |
| mordof | running a gtx 460 nvidia - i checked Additional Drivers, and it says my nvidia driver is activated but not currently in use. i'm running Natty, what does that mean? do i have to enable it or is it not needed? | 03:18 |
| celeryman | ubuntu 11.04 shotwell help please | 03:18 |
| Herbs | 0choZero9 top | 03:18 |
| mordof | i'm experiencing slow performance for visuals.. | 03:18 |
| Soothsayer | Jon4248: I did have 'critical' stuff backups.. but not for level 2 and level 3.. | 03:18 |
| arand | gogeta: Do expect it to break, and account for that ;) | 03:18 |
| Soothsayer | so ye, ill be careful instead, simpler than backing those up. | 03:19 |
| gogeta | arand: just a test heh | 03:19 |
| ChronicSyncope | so how do i get my wobbly windows back? | 03:19 |
| Jon4248 | Soothsayer, ah | 03:19 |
| gogeta | arand: test machine' | 03:19 |
| OchoZero9 | thx Surlent777 & Herbs | 03:19 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: ccsm, enable the wobbly plugin | 03:19 |
| Jon4248 | ChronicSyncope, install ccsm enable wobbly | 03:19 |
| zapradical | Surlent777: thx i found it, i was in the wrong window | 03:19 |
| gogeta | arand: i kneo it work fine with grub2 having a ext4 boot | 03:19 |
| rileyp | cranch isnt that what its supposed to do | 03:19 |
| thanos | arand, i tried to make install before and stack 2 times and i left this partiotion and made it again | 03:19 |
| bkerensa | Help!.... I am trying to do the Natty upgrade from 10.10 but the download speeds on the repo are insane slow... My eta is over 7 hours.... I have plenty of bandwidth | 03:19 |
| ChronicSyncope | whenever i enable composite my desktop breaks | 03:19 |
| mordof | "unable to location package ccsm" | 03:19 |
| ChronicSyncope | actually no | 03:20 |
| Surlent777 | bkerensa: that's just the way it is. Everyone and their mother is upgrading today | 03:20 |
| cranch | rileyp: I'd assume it keeps the dydns name in it the whole time | 03:20 |
| arand | gogeta: Yea, I've worked through a bunch of kvms poking into btrfs =) | 03:20 |
| ChronicSyncope | its just not wobbling. | 03:20 |
| ohsix | gogeta: arand knows a lot about using btrfs, and the different filesystems generally aren't comparable on those terms; you should just listen to him | 03:20 |
| dtcummin | How can I extend an extended partition to consume some freed space from another primary partition? | 03:20 |
| ChronicSyncope | Jon4248, i check the box, enable opengl and composite, but nothing happen.s | 03:20 |
| gogeta | ohsix: yea i wasent having a issue i got the entire os compressed in a sabble state | 03:20 |
| bkerensa | Surlent777: Do you know if they intend to keep the Classic option on Natty or eventually force Unity? | 03:20 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: you should be using the opengl plugin, i really don't like how they split that in .9 | 03:20 |
| arand | ohsix: gogeta knows as well.. | 03:20 |
| ohsix | arand: noted | 03:20 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, how do i do that? | 03:21 |
| thanos | arand, i m dummy and i didn't do nothing the only options from install | 03:21 |
| Surlent777 | bkerensa: I understand they're keeping it for now but intend to eventually discontinue it, but don't quote me on that | 03:21 |
| Jon4248 | ChronicSyncope, video card drivers maybe? | 03:21 |
| * SuBmUnDo is back (gone 00:03:25) | 03:21 | |
| Soothsayer | A partition can fetch unallocated space from both the left and the right too? | 03:21 |
| Jon4248 | ChronicSyncope, what video card you using? | 03:21 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: just enabling it should be enough, if your video card can actually manage | 03:21 |
| Herbs | bkenrensa use another mirror / contact your isp or just accept the servers are busy | 03:21 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, it's making me turn on composite and opengl | 03:21 |
| robin0800 | bkerensa, unity 3d and unity 2d I think | 03:21 |
| SuBmUnDo | auto away sorry | 03:21 |
| bkerensa | Surlent777: Hmm so if I prefer classic perhaps staying with 10.10 might be best bet | 03:21 |
| rileyp | cranch, try the apche channel perhaps I dunnu much about it | 03:21 |
| celeryman | is there another place i can get help for ubuntu 11.04? | 03:21 |
| ChronicSyncope | Jon4248, GTX 460 768MB | 03:21 |
| cranch | np thanks for the help! | 03:21 |
| bkerensa | Surlent777: I just dont like the integrated menus... I hate it.... I love classic panels | 03:21 |
| Surlent777 | bkerensa: possibly, but that won't be supported forever, and does work just fine in Natty | 03:22 |
| cranch | now to run this VM through the 11.04 upgrade | 03:22 |
| bjhaid | i am trying to pull a video off youtube with youtube-dl, each time i try it keeps returning ERROR: format not available for video | 03:22 |
| mordof | ChronicSyncope: almost same one i have - but i'm on the fermi 1gb | 03:22 |
| gogeta | ohsix: gonna see if grub blows up in my face if i put it in zlib compression as well | 03:22 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, i just upgraded today, everything was working an hour ago :p I have a GTX460 so i'm sure my card will support it | 03:22 |
| rileyp | np cya | 03:22 |
| ohsix | celeryman: nobody has seen your problem, most likely; i know i havent, and i use shotwell | 03:22 |
| Surlent777 | bkerensa: Just choose Ubuntu Classic at the login screen | 03:22 |
| ymasory | hmm alt as meta no longer works in terminal in 11.04. alt seems to cause the terminal to lose focus or something. anysolutions? | 03:22 |
| shane4ubuntu | Jon4248: are you kidding??? I just about got through setting up my install, I can't believe it was that easy to break unity, they should have a great big warning label on compiz | 03:22 |
| Bronz | Help please: I'm trying to boot into the liveCD (not install), and the computer will freeze upon starting the graphical environment. I'd get the "ubuntu" splash screen (with the progressive dots), then blink to a garbage screen of static, and the computer would freeze. I have a run-of-the-mill 2Ghz AMD machine, my video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT, 256Mb... | 03:22 |
| thanos | arand, if helps you this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/600561/ | 03:22 |
| OchoZero9 | it may not be detecting my graphics correctly | 03:22 |
| arand | thanos: Hmm, then I'm afraid I'm not actually sure, you could try doing the same thing from recovery mode, or from a liveCD, if it is somehow dependent on not having the /home mounted, which it really shouldn't.. | 03:22 |
| Ziber | Having a lot of trouble with my mic on skype on 10.10. Any ideas? | 03:22 |
| dtcummin | How can I extend an extended partition to consume some freed space from another primary partition? | 03:22 |
| shane4ubuntu | Jon4248: I will go back to the classic desktop before I re-install, that is just absurd. | 03:22 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: yea but it might not with nouveau; so you'd additionally need to try the proprietary driver | 03:22 |
| HyperSh0ck | hey guys. what is the solution when gnome or nautilus suddenly stops opening folders and mounts for file access but instead runs them through a program, for instance mine is running them through gedit for some unknowable reason....? | 03:22 |
| Jon4248 | shane4ubuntu, lol | 03:22 |
| Slimcea_boy | If I want to try gnome3, what PPA should I be installing from? | 03:23 |
| Herbs | dtcummin you cant | 03:23 |
| bkerensa | Surlent777: Yeah but when/if they discontinue classic in Natty then I gotta do a workaround to keep classic and that wont be fun? | 03:23 |
| celeryman | i am having an issue with trying to start shotwell, does absolutely nothing when trying to open it, | 03:23 |
| rileyp | Ziber problem exactly? | 03:23 |
| ChronicSyncope | ymasory, it seems to make everything lose focus in my experience, and then you have to log out to restart x so you can start metacity again | 03:23 |
| Jon4248 | ChronicSyncope, open additional drivers | 03:23 |
| shane4ubuntu | Jon4248: someone must have a way of fixing this, I mean, it shouldn't be that easy to break it. | 03:23 |
| gogeta | arand: gotta admit the entire os installed at 1.2gb is impressiv | 03:23 |
| Ziber | rileyp: Built in mic isnt working | 03:23 |
| ohsix | HyperSh0ck: the mime type for folders got changed to open with gedit, if you right click on a folder you can have it open with nautilus again | 03:23 |
| cvrser | dtcummin: have u already got 4 primary partitions? | 03:23 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, Jon4248 proprietary nvidia driver? I 've been using that | 03:23 |
| Surlent777 | bkerensa: the discontinuation, if any, would occur in future releases. Natty itself will remain unaffected | 03:23 |
| gogeta | arand: for a 4gb ssd | 03:23 |
| dtcummin | cvrse, yes | 03:23 |
| * HyperSh0ck gives mad love to ohsix! | 03:23 | |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: dunno what to say | 03:23 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, Jon4248 it says "active but not in use" | 03:23 |
| arand | thanos: Oh, your new /home is ext4 then? | 03:24 |
| mordof | ChronicSyncope: same with mine :o | 03:24 |
| dtcummin | cvrser, yes | 03:24 |
| Jon4248 | Jon4248, someone must...but not me..lol...have you tried to restart? | 03:24 |
| Soothsayer | Jon4248, Herbs, ohsix : For the '/home' and '/var' mount points, should I be creating "Primary Partitions" or "Extended Partitions" | 03:24 |
| xsinick | ok the new 11.04 is shitty | 03:24 |
| Soothsayer | ? | 03:24 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: then it's probably using nouveau; i don't know how to make it "in use" | 03:24 |
| ohsix | xsinick: #ubuntu-offtopic, this is a support channel | 03:24 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, what is nouveau? | 03:24 |
| thanos | arand, yes i did new install to have ubuntu | 03:24 |
| Soothsayer | xsinick: please, thats criticism that doesnt help anything or anyone. | 03:24 |
| arand | thanos: if you log in dmesg, or the kernel log, does it show any error messages? /var/log/* | 03:24 |
| ohsix | xsinick: there were many months of prereleases where you could have provided feedback | 03:24 |
| Jon4248 | Soothsayer, i just pick whatever is default. | 03:24 |
| Soothsayer | Primary | 03:25 |
| Soothsayer | ok | 03:25 |
| ohsix | (but still not here, t his is a support channel) | 03:25 |
| Herbs | it doesent matter as long as you not going to make more than 45 partitions | 03:25 |
| xsinick | but thses are so clear | 03:25 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: the open source 3rd party nvidia driver | 03:25 |
| Herbs | 4 not 45 | 03:25 |
| thanos | arand, how to see this? | 03:25 |
| rileyp | Ziber is it muted is a laptop audio installed you are so vague noone will help you | 03:25 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: it's finally shipping in natty, it can do quite a bit :] | 03:25 |
| xsinick | 1. where is the right click on the tool bar? | 03:25 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, i don't think so, it's disabled in synaptic | 03:25 |
| Herbs | infact not 4 but 3 | 03:25 |
| ohsix | xsinick: there isn't one, it's not a panel; it just looks like one | 03:25 |
| mordof | i'm gonna try and see about that | 03:25 |
| cvrser | dtcummin, not sure if it's possible then sry | 03:26 |
| arand | thanos: there is a log file viewer | 03:26 |
| xsinick | well how am I suppose to see all my cpu core with the cpu scaling applet? | 03:26 |
| Herbs | dtcummin Its not possible | 03:26 |
| xsinick | :( | 03:26 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, although when i click on monitor in system it doesn't force me to use the nvidia applet, which is suspicious, but i was playing portal 2 in wine a few minutes ago | 03:26 |
| topramen | hello | 03:26 |
| ohsix | xsinick: you need a panel if you want that, don't use unity; pick the classic session on othe login screen | 03:26 |
| rileyp | ziber ther are usually 2 or 3 difeernt audio input channels you need to select int mic as default perhaps | 03:26 |
| dtcummin | Herbs, so I just have to start over? | 03:26 |
| Ziber | rileyp: Where? | 03:27 |
| Surlent777 | xsinick: some things are being dumped. If you don't like the changes, choose Ubuntu Classic from the login screen. Problem solved. | 03:27 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: paste the output of glxinfo to a pastebin (run it in a terminal) | 03:27 |
| mordof | ChronicSyncope: portal 2 works in wine!? | 03:27 |
| Herbs | unless you have another drive to put the partitions on then yes | 03:27 |
| OchoZero9 | i think i may not have the right driver | 03:27 |
| rileyp | do you have desktop mixer panel? | 03:27 |
| ohsix | Surlent777: it's not really dumped, it was just never added; it's a new implementation | 03:27 |
| ChronicSyncope | mordof, yes just install the skidrow crack and run it with padsp wine portal2.exe from the directory | 03:27 |
| xsinick | Surlent777: thanks I will try that | 03:27 |
| arand | thanos: You could "sudo umount /mnt" and "sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt" again and then see if there have been any additions to the logs | 03:27 |
| mordof | ChronicSyncope: ah | 03:27 |
| topramen | is there a linux sms app | 03:27 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: ehhh i don't care, but a lot of people do talking about cracked software and stuff | 03:27 |
| yi`zhi | woo! anyone upgrading to narwhal right now? | 03:27 |
| yi`zhi | i could get rid of docky right? | 03:28 |
| Surlent777 | ohsix: Fair enough. I forgot that. | 03:28 |
| dtcummin | Herbs, ok thanks | 03:28 |
| shane4ubuntu | well, in less than just a few hours I managed to break unity, and am back in the classic gnome desktop | 03:28 |
| arand | topramen: sms? | 03:28 |
| robin0800 | rileyp, check alsamixer in a terrminal | 03:28 |
| xsinick | I got dual screens and it seems really screwed up | 03:28 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, it's cracked because drm breaks wine, not because i dont own it. i bought it. | 03:28 |
| topramen | yes sms | 03:28 |
| rileyp | ziber terminal $alsamixer lol | 03:28 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: right, people don't understand the distinction generally; just a heads up | 03:28 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, it's actually the recommended fix on winehq | 03:28 |
| yi`zhi | shane4ubuntu, how do you feel about unity? | 03:28 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: i know | 03:28 |
| thanos | arand, umount: /mnt: device is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) | 03:28 |
| xsinick | double taskbar time and date widgets | 03:28 |
| milligan | I've booted a machine with the ubuntu rescue console. There are two harddrives in the machine. I'm trying to back up one harddrive to the other using dd (dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb) . It's been sitting there for quite a few hours now. How long should I expect it to take ? | 03:28 |
| Herbs | Im not an ubuntu user but isnt unity buggy as hell? | 03:28 |
| Surlent777 | Herbs: it was, but now it's significantly less so | 03:29 |
| shane4ubuntu | yi`zhi: not impressed, although, now it appears I broke gnome too, so perhaps this is a compiz/natty problem | 03:29 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: that's advice from other users, upstream would prefer bugs that keep copy protectionf rom not working being fixed | 03:29 |
| Ziber | rileyp: "connection refused" | 03:29 |
| mordof | ohsix: what would one look for in glxinfo? | 03:29 |
| xangua | !ot | Herbs | 03:29 |
| ubottu | Herbs: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 03:29 |
| xsinick | Herbs: yes it is | 03:29 |
| yi`zhi | shane4ubuntu, hehe | 03:29 |
| arand | thanos: Ah, right, hmm, I guess you need to exit the ls that is stuck trying to access it. | 03:29 |
| armor-64 | hi guys i want to remove the sidebar from ubuntu 11.04!i don't know how to do it,please help | 03:29 |
| xsinick | I'm on it now and it is screwy | 03:29 |
| mordof | ohsix: i'm also wondering about the driver since i'm in the same situation | 03:29 |
| yi`zhi | i have no clue about unity :( | 03:29 |
| Herbs | !get a grip | xangua | 03:29 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:29 |
| spungo | ohsix: I can't make much sense of the output from powertop :( Doesn't seem to mention CPU frequency, just 'wakeups' (whatever they are) | 03:29 |
| ohsix | mordof: look at the vendor string, it should signal rather clearly if it's the proprietary or nouveau driver | 03:29 |
| thanos | how | 03:29 |
| mordof | ohsix: NVIDIA Corporation | 03:29 |
| mordof | :\ | 03:29 |
| ohsix | spungo: OK, did you do anything to disable acpi? | 03:29 |
| arand | thanos: Or you could just look at the logs and try to find it anyways, it shouldn't be too hard | 03:29 |
| Surlent777 | armor-64: on the login screen, choose Ubuntu Classic Desktop. That will revert the changes | 03:29 |
| Herbs | wasnt off topic gui noog | 03:29 |
| shane4ubuntu | ok, what is the desktop??? used to be metacity, I guess that is no longer true?? | 03:30 |
| Herbs | noob* | 03:30 |
| ChronicSyncope | mordof, obviously no co-op with that setup, also if you choose to go that route, you'll also have to do winetricks glsl-disable in your portal folder with the exe in it, and it runs super smooth | 03:30 |
| xsinick | gonna go classic | 03:30 |
| xsinick | see if that work | 03:30 |
| spungo | ohsix: not as far as I know... | 03:30 |
| xsinick | works | 03:30 |
| armor-64 | surlent777: thanks man | 03:30 |
| ohsix | Herbs: that is offtopic | 03:30 |
| yi`zhi | shane4ubuntu, if upgrade to narwal, i could remove docky right? do i also still need compiz to do cool desktop switching? | 03:30 |
| mordof | ChronicSyncope: no co-op, that's a fail.. i'll dual boot windows just for that game, lol | 03:30 |
| ohsix | Herbs: this is a support channel | 03:30 |
| xsinick | I like the side bar icon thing | 03:30 |
| rileyp | ziber type alsamixer in a terminal window or tty session | 03:30 |
| xsinick | can you scale it? | 03:30 |
| ohsix | spungo: post the output of dmesg to a pastebin | 03:30 |
| thanos | arand, can i sent you the file? | 03:30 |
| OchoZero9 | ohsix: I ran /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p and all the test passed fine. it says Unity supported: yes | 03:30 |
| ChronicSyncope | mordof, agree'd but I don't have time to play the co-op until summer, so i've got some time to work the bugs out :p | 03:30 |
| shane4ubuntu | yi`zhi: I have no idea, don't mess with compiz, I have already botched both my desktops. | 03:30 |
| Surlent777 | xsinick: Yes. Use ccsm (the compiz configuration tool) and look under the unity plugin, icon scaling | 03:31 |
| rileyp | is there any way a remote can type letters in x with the 1 -9 buttons | 03:31 |
| robin0800 | armor-64, you cant remove it but can hide it forever | 03:31 |
| ohsix | OchoZero9: i don't know what to say | 03:31 |
| shane4ubuntu | yi`zhi: that is unity and gnome | 03:31 |
| xsinick | Surlent777: thanks | 03:31 |
| mordof | ChronicSyncope: ahh i see. if you get them worked out want to let me in on how to do it? lol | 03:31 |
| yi`zhi | shane4ubuntu, eek! | 03:31 |
| OchoZero9 | say it crashes | 03:31 |
| arand | thanos: it should be in dmesg (you can just run "dmesg" in the terminal to see it.) | 03:31 |
| armor-64 | and one question how to do this? | 03:31 |
| OchoZero9 | how do you bring it back? | 03:31 |
| arand | thanos: Are there any suspicious errors by the end of that? | 03:32 |
| Herbs | so what was off topic exactly? | 03:32 |
| ohsix | OchoZero9: it should come back itself, but alt+f2 and run compiz --replace | 03:32 |
| ChronicSyncope | mordof, haha sure, you might not even need the aforementioned illegal fix in 11.04, check winehq | 03:32 |
| Surlent777 | armor-64: log out, then on the login screen, at the bottom, it'll say "Ubuntu". Click that, and choose "Classic Desktop" or the closest thing to it. | 03:32 |
| Ziber | rileyp: thats what i did | 03:32 |
| dasy2k1 | anyone any idea where /sys/devices/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load has moved to with 11. | 03:32 |
| ohsix | Herbs: "i don't use, but isn't it buggy" | 03:32 |
| Herbs | the fact that unity is poo | 03:32 |
| celeryman | i need help with shotwell in ubuntu 11.04 | 03:32 |
| dasy2k1 | 11.04 that should have read | 03:32 |
| robin0800 | OchoZero9, unity --restart | 03:32 |
| mordof | ohsix: i have the nouvou driver or w/e installed.. i'm not sure which it's using | 03:32 |
| OchoZero9 | alt+f2 didn't work | 03:32 |
| ohsix | Herbs: that's not a fact, and shouldn't be presented as such, that is your apparently not personally informed opinion | 03:32 |
| rileyp | ziber if alsamixer will not open you audio isnt installed correctly i would say | 03:33 |
| * dasy2k1 agrees with Herbs | 03:33 | |
| OchoZero9 | but ill try both. btw i put a terminal icon on the desktop just in case | 03:33 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, what happened to the tab in appearence prefs that allowed you to turn on wobbly windows and such? | 03:33 |
| armor-64 | thanks guys for the help!i find it,i needed this so much see ya | 03:33 |
| ohsix | mordof: if it says nvidia corporation it's the proprietary driver | 03:33 |
| Herbs | oh dear ubuntu wannabe m$ | 03:33 |
| OchoZero9 | brb | 03:33 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: that was gone a while ago iirc | 03:33 |
| Soothsayer | What about selecting a swap space during installation? | 03:33 |
| amorton | anyone know of a way to do this (http://www.paragon-software.com/business/net-burner/) in linux? | 03:33 |
| mordof | ohsix: k.. that's annoying, i'm getting slow response on desktop applications | 03:33 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, i had it in 10.10 :p | 03:33 |
| kristianpaul | 11.04 is next LTS version? | 03:33 |
| xsinick | CAN"T TAKE IT GONNA REBOOT TO CLASSIC | 03:33 |
| Surlent777 | Herbs: Why bother complaining about how terrible it is in a support channel when you don't use it and can't even make a coherent case? Complain in #ubuntu-offtopic, the bugs listings, or just drop it before someone gets annoyed and calls for a ban | 03:33 |
| xangua | kristianpaul: no | 03:33 |
| Soothsayer | the installer is giving me a warning that I haven't selected a partition for the swap space. | 03:33 |
| ohsix | Herbs: please, if you don't have any questions or need any help, don't speak; there are lots of people talking | 03:33 |
| dasy2k1 | Herbs unity looks more like Mac to me with that blasted dock and the menus being in the top bar | 03:33 |
| Ziber | rileyp: well, trying to reinstall | 03:33 |
| xangua | Herbs: stop the offtopic here | 03:33 |
| kristianpaul | ah ok, yeah i tought time passed too fast.. ;) | 03:34 |
| kristianpaul | bye | 03:34 |
| thanos | arand, http://paste.ubuntu.com/600566/ | 03:34 |
| lestat__ | vulvuzela | 03:34 |
| Herbs | suelent777 who asked any of you to make judjements on what I say? | 03:34 |
| Ziber | reinstalled, same issue | 03:34 |
| spungo | ohsix: http://pastebin.com/U7bsr75Y | 03:34 |
| fezzik02 | I can't get 11.04 to boot at all | 03:34 |
| Surlent777 | Herbs: you, by posting them in a public forum | 03:34 |
| ohsix | Herbs: one need not ask; this is a help channel, and we all know it | 03:34 |
| robin0800 | Soothsayer, yes you need a seperate swap space | 03:34 |
| xsinick | I sure the devs got all these issues presented to them before hand and it was ignored | 03:34 |
| Herbs | I said one thing about a gui and got slated ahove your ubuntu up your ass | 03:34 |
| rileyp | look in synaptic try and play a sound using aplay etc if these thing show problems go to the ubuntu forums multimedia thread it has setup of everything in there so you can play any and everything and set upof sound devices and video and dvd etc | 03:35 |
| rgoytacaz | Hello there, Just installed 11.04 on my Vosto 3300 and it didnt install the nvidia drivers. so no flashiness. Is it working? | 03:35 |
| ohsix | Herbs: please, if you don't have any questions or need any help, don't speak; there are lots of people talking | 03:35 |
| Bronz | I know you guys are busy, but I still hope for some help with booting the LiveCD on a computer with an NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT, 256Mb... | 03:35 |
| shane4ubuntu | ok, anyone with actual knowledge about enabling desktop cube with unity? I tried ccsm and that was very bad news. | 03:35 |
| Herbs | Red hat / centos / fedora / slack ware > ubuntu | 03:35 |
| toto654 | hello....i add a bad server to synaptic....i cant recharge the servers wont let me use synaptics | 03:35 |
| Bronz | The computer will freeze upon starting the graphical environment. I'd get the "ubuntu" splash screen (with the progressive dots), then blink to a garbage screen of static, and the computer would freeze. | 03:35 |
| IdleOne | Herbs: Please mind the language | 03:35 |
| fezzik02 | It is busy here, you'd think there was a recent release or something | 03:35 |
| xangua | shane4ubuntu: saw a post about that on omgubuntu blog | 03:35 |
| diaoer | if you have more pritation you hd may crash | 03:35 |
| dasy2k1 | rgoytacaz: look in restricted drivers (in system) check its activated | 03:35 |
| Herbs | sorry for the language | 03:35 |
| shane4ubuntu | xangua: ok, thanks, I will check it out. | 03:36 |
| Herbs | but just because I made a comment about unity ffs | 03:36 |
| mordof | seems a lot of people are commenting on the proprietary drivers | 03:36 |
| mickster04 | diaoer: i don't think that is a correct correlation | 03:36 |
| rgoytacaz | dasy2k1: aditional drivers? | 03:36 |
| xangua | shane4ubuntu: omg!ubuntu! or webupd8, can't remember with blog | 03:36 |
| gogeta | arand: zlib compressed btrfs root install no error other then the one you said would happon | 03:36 |
| rpk | My dad is getting a ubi-partman error when attempting to install ubuntu x64 11.04 final, any help? ... not the best first impression... :( | 03:36 |
| diaoer | why? | 03:36 |
| shane4ubuntu | xangua: I will find it thanks. | 03:36 |
| dasy2k1 | rgoytacaz: yeh new name same program | 03:36 |
| fezzik02 | Yeah, my 11.04 won't install at all. | 03:36 |
| rgoytacaz | dasy2k1: says its currently activated but not in use. | 03:36 |
| fezzik02 | Ok, correction - it installs, but no boot | 03:37 |
| mickster04 | diaoer: more partitions doesn't mean the harddrive will break sooner? | 03:37 |
| diaoer | but my hd crash last night | 03:37 |
| mordof | rpk: what's the error, and what hardware do you have? | 03:37 |
| dragonkeeper | Herbs if you dont like unity dont use it . same for ubuntu | 03:37 |
| rileyp | Bronz start to a prompt and remove type sudo xconfig and then type startx that should give tyou basic grahpics then google how to install your nvidia drivers | 03:37 |
| dasy2k1 | rgoytacaz: deactivate then reactivate then reboot, should work then | 03:37 |
| multipass | in 11.04 how do i change it so when i move the mouse cursor over the edge it changes workspace? | 03:37 |
| mickster04 | diaoer: not related to the number of partitions i can bet | 03:37 |
| arand | thanos: Yea, that is something wrong there. What you might want to do is find a liveCD with a very new version of the kernel, (Fedora, or yet newer) and see if you can mount it from there instead. I'm not sure you'll be able to do much more from the buuntu kernel version. | 03:37 |
| rgoytacaz | dasy2k1: it error'd out during installation | 03:37 |
| rgoytacaz | dasy2k1: will try, brb. | 03:37 |
| Herbs | what happened to frees speech and "open source" | 03:37 |
| rpk | mordof: ubi-partman exit code 141, on the screen after the checklist | 03:37 |
| Herbs | get a grip | 03:37 |
| diaoer | yes but i can`t mount partitions to /home/** | 03:37 |
| xangua | !ot | Herbs | 03:37 |
| ubottu | Herbs: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 03:37 |
| robin0800 | shane4ubuntu, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/compiz-cube-natty/ | 03:37 |
| fezzik02 | Herbs, stfu and gtfo | 03:37 |
| gogeta | Herbs: lol the is your free speech is limited to the ops wims | 03:38 |
| Bronz | rileyp: thanks, how do I start the liveCD to a prompt instead of graphical? | 03:38 |
| rgoytacaz | dasy2k1: just one more thing, Im on sdd, is it on automatic trim by default? or should I just do that same procedure for 10.04? | 03:38 |
| gogeta | irc | 03:38 |
| ohsix | spungo: hmm, i dunno, everything that'd make it work is there; i don't personally pay attention to the eee stuff, but eee_laptop might have changed between then and now, i'd look there first | 03:38 |
| shane4ubuntu | robin0800: thanks | 03:38 |
| yi`zhi | Herbs, those are concepts to stabilize society. much like religion. duh | 03:38 |
| Herbs | you guys are making it off topic for one comment I made think on! | 03:38 |
| yi`zhi | -_- | 03:38 |
| IdleOne | !language | fezzik02 | 03:38 |
| ubottu | fezzik02: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 03:38 |
| dasy2k1 | rgoytacaz: no idea on that one | 03:38 |
| fezzik02 | lol | 03:38 |
| rgoytacaz | dasy2k1: thanks :) | 03:38 |
| xsinick | ahhh | 03:38 |
| Bronz | Also rileyp: what do you mean "remove type sudo xconfig"? | 03:38 |
| arand | fezzik02: Please don't further things. Someone will take care of it if it continues. | 03:38 |
| xsinick | Classic solved all the issues | 03:39 |
| ohsix | Herbs: this is a help channel, it's not a free speech thing, what you are doing right now is completely antithetical to what the channel is, and you don't even suggest that you are here to get support for a problem you are having; that annoys people | 03:39 |
| thanos | arand, fedora its ok? | 03:39 |
| fezzik02 | I just want to know why my 11.04 can't boot, that's all. | 03:39 |
| xsinick | Classic is the shiznit | 03:39 |
| rpk | mordof: mobo is gigabyte: p67a-ud7-b3 | 03:39 |
| Soothsayer | ok installing now :) | 03:39 |
| rileyp | Bronz are you trying to run from a live cd or install from alive cd | 03:39 |
| shane4ubuntu | how about getting things to show up in the notification area? anyone know about that? there a many apps that I use and like them up there. | 03:39 |
| mordof | rpk: did some googling, there's a bunch of investigation going on about that error | 03:39 |
| thanos | arand, you think its kernel problem? | 03:39 |
| spungo | ohsix: thanks for the help - i'll leave it for another day, it's clearly peak support season right now! | 03:39 |
| fezzik02 | And I think that suggesting that those abbreviations are tantamount to swearing is silly, but I don't care, just tell me how to make the darned thing work. | 03:39 |
| rpk | ahhhhhhhhhh wtf. | 03:39 |
| rileyp | if running from a live cd do not choose nvidia driver in setup | 03:39 |
| arand | thanos: Hmm, Well frankly not sure if it will make much difference... | 03:39 |
| ohsix | spungo: it surely is interesting :] | 03:39 |
| Soothsayer | its very thoughtful that I can use firefox during the installation. | 03:39 |
| xsinick | can I put the fancy side bar on classic | 03:39 |
| xsinick | ? | 03:40 |
| mordof | rpk: when did you download the iso for the installer? | 03:40 |
| Herbs | shix I aid one thing Im here for the support you guys are going on 1 because I made a comment about unity | 03:40 |
| rpk | morfof: 30 minutes ago or so | 03:40 |
| van7hu | them an trung ga :) | 03:40 |
| arand | thanos: It is a btrfs problem, but btrfs is part of the kernel, so the newer the kernel, the more bugfixes btrfs has. | 03:40 |
| fezzik02 | Anybody else having the same problem? 11.04 won't boot? | 03:40 |
| Bronz | rileyp: eventually install, but right now just vboot. I can't do either because of the freeze. If I can get the basic graphics you say, that should be enough; I can install nvidia-current on my own after that. | 03:40 |
| ohsix | xsinick: you probably can, just turn on the unity plugin in ccsm, and use compiz as your wm, it's not designed to work like that, but it might be OK | 03:40 |
| xangua | xsinick: no | 03:40 |
| mordof | rpk: do you have internet access? most of the reports are listing that there's no internet access during install :\ | 03:40 |
| Herbs | propertry Linux | 03:40 |
| * dasy2k1 thinks the flames should be sent to #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:40 | |
| xangua | ooh maybe | 03:40 |
| ohsix | xsinick: or it might not, if the unity plugin draws the boxes that are in the middle, then you can't just get the bar | 03:40 |
| rpk | yeah, all the check boxes are checked | 03:40 |
| thanos | arand, data are there you think? | 03:40 |
| xangua | xsinick: if you are looking to use unity with no compiz there is 'unity 2d' | 03:41 |
| arand | thanos: Hang on, actually, try using the mainline kernel. | 03:41 |
| rpk | though windows 7 needs a driver installed to connect to the internet | 03:41 |
| arand | !mainline | thanos | 03:41 |
| ubottu | thanos: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 03:41 |
| fezzik02 | So... I ask for help, and I get ignored... but people have time to give me a hard time for swearing? | 03:41 |
| rgoytacaz | dasy2k1: Cant remove the driver, says InstallArchives() failed. | 03:41 |
| ohsix | Herbs: do you need help? i simply asked you to stop speaking if you don't need help, there are already a lot of people talking | 03:41 |
| mordof | rpk: if you could get your logs from the error it'd be helpful | 03:41 |
| rileyp | Bronz often graphics fail because they are not set up correctly and leave you with no screen. To avoid this use default video drivers and they will work. This will get your system up and running have aplay then google how to install nvidia drivers and do so accordingly | 03:41 |
| xsinick | well | 03:41 |
| xsinick | it ok | 03:41 |
| Herbs | oshix sort your stuff out you wannabe | 03:41 |
| rpk | mordof: how would I do that? | 03:41 |
| xsinick | I don't need preety | 03:41 |
| lestat__ | hehe | 03:41 |
| ohsix | Herbs: is that a question? | 03:41 |
| fezzik02 | Is there some way to force default drivers? | 03:41 |
| robin0800 | shane4ubuntu, three choices find an indicator equivalent whitelist the indicator area or use unity 2d | 03:41 |
| Macer | is there some way that i can make it so if an nfs goes down that users would be redirected to a secondary home ? | 03:41 |
| Herbs | whats youyr prob? | 03:41 |
| Bluebill-Wolf | is it preferable to install in to the oem mode? | 03:42 |
| xsinick | preety I'm just a power user that need solid | 03:42 |
| Bronz | rileyp: OK, how do I tell the live-CD to boot using default video drivers? | 03:42 |
| mordof | rpk: use a live cd and check /var/log/syslog | 03:42 |
| lestat__ | kuel | 03:42 |
| arand | thanos: Yes, I would guess that the data is still there, but whether or not you can get to it, I don't know.. | 03:42 |
| ohsix | fezzik02: you're getting a black screen, right? | 03:42 |
| mordof | rpk: on your main partition that you're installing on i mean, for that directory to check | 03:42 |
| lestat__ | Herbs like you atitude | 03:42 |
| dasy2k1 | rgoytacaz: have to pass you on to somone more experianced then, thats going beyond what i have experianced getting nvidia to work | 03:42 |
| Macer | i want to use an nfs for home but if it goes down i want users to be redirected to a local directory for their home (one that can be synced with the nfs with cron or something) | 03:42 |
| fezzik02 | Is there any place that I can look for a boot up log? | 03:42 |
| Herbs | ok oshix help me with this an ubuntu server tty12 keeps respawning on login? | 03:42 |
| ohsix | lestat__: do you need help? | 03:42 |
| rpk | the installer didn't get far enough to select the partition | 03:42 |
| Herbs | tty1* | 03:42 |
| rpk | mordof^^ | 03:42 |
| Bluebill-Wolf | is it preferable to install in to the oem mode? | 03:43 |
| xsinick | ohsix: Once devs fix the Unity issues some more then I'l sitch | 03:43 |
| arand | thanos: Install the latest kernel from the mainline (instructions on the wiki) and then reboot into that kernel and try mounting it again. | 03:43 |
| xsinick | switch* | 03:43 |
| rileyp | Also rileyp: what do you mean "remove type sudo xconfig"? to remove any nvidia created xorg.conf which most probably is casing your x screen to fail by typeing sudo xconfig a std xorg.conf will be created using std driversl | 03:43 |
| rpk | mordof: it fails as you click next on the screen with the checkboxes (space, internet access) | 03:43 |
| lestat__ | ohsix just watching | 03:43 |
| shane4ubuntu | robin0800: I found the whitelist thing, but was unable to locate it in gconf-editor, seems that has changed. | 03:43 |
| ohsix | xsinick: most people are complaining about cosmetic issues; they're not trying to convince you to switch or anything | 03:43 |
| Herbs | thought youd shut up | 03:43 |
| Bluebill-Wolf | I'll take that as an idk | 03:43 |
| fezzik02 | *** HELP ME PLEASE *** I cannot get a fresh install of 11.04 to boot | 03:43 |
| ohsix | xsinick: it's just simpler and more forward looking, with tablets and netbooks | 03:43 |
| ChronicSyncope | ohsix, does using gnome classic disable compiz? | 03:43 |
| ohsix | fezzik02: boot how? | 03:43 |
| dasy2k1 | anyone know where the cpu scaling settings (like ignore nice load) have moved to (used to be in /sys/devices/cpu/cpufreq)?? | 03:43 |
| thanos | arand, can i make with live cd? | 03:43 |
| arand | ChronicSyncope: Nope | 03:44 |
| robin0800 | shane4ubuntu, it there yesterday | 03:44 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: no, you can still use it as your window manager | 03:44 |
| rileyp | bronx do not select nvidia | 03:44 |
| arand | thanos: You won't need to with the mainline | 03:44 |
| fezzik02 | Like, I power on the computer, it gives me the GRUB 2 menu, and that's all | 03:44 |
| ohsix | dasy2k1: i don't recall that entry ever, what kernel were you running? | 03:44 |
| xsinick | ohsix: I understand | 03:44 |
| multipass | in 11.04 gnome how do i make cursor flip workspace? | 03:44 |
| lainy | After upgrading to the latest Ubuntu, my Conky's {acpi} no longer displays my CPU temperature. Any clue? Thanks. | 03:44 |
| fezzik02 | It sits and spins for about a minute then locks up tight as a drum | 03:44 |
| ohsix | fezzik02: so after an install? | 03:44 |
| lainy | {acpitemp}* | 03:44 |
| robin0800 | shane4ubuntu, think you need the terminal | 03:44 |
| mordof | rpk: hmm.. there should be a way to get the installer to install with debug output | 03:44 |
| shane4ubuntu | robin0800: I didn't see it, let me doublecheck, I was looking at a web page that pointed me to desktop -> Unity -> panel or something like that. | 03:44 |
| fezzik02 | Yes, I'm on live cd now | 03:44 |
| Bluebill-Wolf | so ubuntu 11.0 is bugged I take it? | 03:44 |
| dasy2k1 | ohsix: the stock one AFAIK on 10.10 | 03:44 |
| Rehan | if I'm going to completely wipe my 10.10 install and install 11.04 in its place, what are some steps I should take before wiping (besides backing up my data) that will let me get back to the same setup on 11.04? Thanks! | 03:44 |
| xsinick | blender window is opening wacky | 03:45 |
| ohsix | xsinick: fwiw it doesn't suit me without a proper panel, the panel is make or break for me | 03:45 |
| rpk | mordof: I had him check from the livecd mode, he can get to the internet from the livecd at least | 03:45 |
| Bronz | rileyp: I mean, if I load the live-CD, it will attempt to go into graphical mode on its own; how do I stop it from doing that? How do I tell it to use "default" or "safe" video drivers when booting? | 03:45 |
| Rehan | Bluebill-Wolf: the ubuntu versions are just based on when they're released. 11 = 2011, 04 = April | 03:45 |
| ohsix | dasy2k1: hmmmm | 03:45 |
| arand | fezzik02: If you edit the menu entry and remove "quiet splash" and then boot via [Ctrl+x] does it show any interesting error messages? | 03:45 |
| fezzik02 | arand: let me try that | 03:45 |
| dasy2k1 | ohsix: used to set /sys/devices/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load to 1 to stop boinc maxing my cpu all the time | 03:45 |

| rileyp | ziber that will fix any audio issue you have :D | 03:46 |
| octillion | Rehan: If you have a large enough external drive, you can just dump an image of your current HDD with dd | 03:46 |
| mordof | rpk: if you could find out how to get logs to show for when you're getting that error -it'd be helpful in resolving the problem at least | 03:47 |

| ChronicSyncope | i got wobbly windows working, but desktop cube still kills my theme, and whenever i restart classic gnome, my desktop setup is 2x2 instead of 4x1 | 03:49 |
| mordof | rpk: no idea.. i'd just try re-stating the problem here and hopefully someone else will pick up on it | 03:50 |
| CrouchingTiger | hey all, im using backtrack4 r2 on a live usb stick. I am quite happy with the speed | 03:50 |
| dasy2k1 | rpk ubuntuforums.org | 03:50 |

| anonemoose | Minor question.... What are some good, _tested_, and stable programs for burning DVD+Rs? | 03:50 |
| fezzik02 | Ok, so I tried without quiet nosplash in GRUB2, same result | 03:50 |
| Bronz | rileyp: Yeah, I'm not actively selecting anything; I don't see any options to change the video either. Thanks for the help, though, it is going in the right direction. I'll try the alternative disk to see if any ideas pop up. | 03:50 |
| ohsix | ChronicSyncope: i had lots of compiz crashes when i was trying to set up my old settings, i don't think they tested much more than what unity would use | 03:50 |
| usr13 | afroman: as in most thoural? | 03:50 |
| rpk | ok, I see a couple open bug reports | 03:50 |
| kathie | I've been using Ubuntu for four years now. I'm finding this new release harder to use. You have to search for programs? | 03:50 |
| fezzik02 | Nothing shows on the screen | 03:50 |

| ohsix | CrouchingTiger: we don't support a lot of variants like backtrack here | 03:50 |
| soja | when i try to enter in windows from GRUB, the screens turns black and then i come back to GRUB, what's wrong? | 03:50 |
| afroman | usr13: a way to clean the hd so that nothing can be retrieve after | 03:50 |
| mordof | rpk: yeah.. | 03:51 |
| arand | fezzik02: Hmm, I would try reinstalling grub. | 03:51 |
| Bronz | Congratulations guys on the new release. If I still have troubles I'll come back in a day or two, hopefully the traffic will have subsided a bit by then. | 03:51 |
| xangua | kathie: you can add it to the panel/sidebar/launcher | 03:51 |
| arand | !grub | fezzik02 | 03:51 |
| ubottu | fezzik02: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 03:51 |
| anonemoose | afroman you guys need a good memory scrubber? I have one, if you're interested... | 03:51 |
| rileyp | Bronz at screen freeze you could try CTRL+alt +f1 and see what happens you may end up in a tty session meaning ubuntu has started up completely but gdm has failed thenits just a matter of resolving that | 03:51 |
| ohsix | afroman: the best way is to melt it | 03:51 |
| Herbs | kathie I know Im going to get flamed for this but wtf.... use a distro that suits you | 03:51 |
| robin0800 | xsinick, it dosen't matter as unity now uses different features of compiz than before so may not work now | 03:51 |
| afroman | dasy2k1: can one retrieve data after? or is it completely gone? | 03:51 |
| kathie | xangua, I seen that, but you still have to search for it first. I just find it a pain | 03:51 |
| Bronz | rileyp: Oh, good idea. I'll try that too. Thanks. | 03:52 |
| xsinick | I feel like to Cuss | 03:52 |
| rileyp | Bronz, are you trying latest ubuntu? | 03:52 |
| usr13 | *thorough | 03:52 |

| OchoZero9 | unity --replace` got it working, but I have to put that in every time. | 03:52 |
| ohsix | afroman: and as been mentioned, dban; but there are also secure erase commands oyu can give most newer drives | 03:52 |
| xsinick | I so wanted this to work out of the box | 03:52 |
| Bronz | Yup, fresh from the press. | 03:52 |
| ohsix | afroman: then the drive firmware erases it | 03:52 |
| dasy2k1 | afroman: as far as you can be sure, its gone.... ok if you are the CIA and have years to spend analaising every molicule you may be able to find one or 2 bits but in general its gone | 03:52 |
| usr13 | afroman: Write zeros to it seven times is industry standard. You can do that with dd | 03:52 |
| rileyp | is there any way a remote can type letters in x with the 1 -9 buttons | 03:53 |
| kathie | Herbs, go to hell! I'm just saying how I feel. I've been using Ubuntu for four years now, and don't plan on changing. But I don't think it's a reason to take a step backwards | 03:53 |
| ohsix | dasy2k1: the molecules don't move :D their magnetic domains do | 03:53 |
| xsinick | it's like the one reason I can't recomend ubuntu to any one with a clear mind | 03:53 |
| Herbs | kathine fine by me you noob | 03:53 |
| fezzik02 | How do I reinstall GRUB2? | 03:53 |
| arand | kathie: If you right-click the applications button in the panel, you can go to the categories | 03:53 |
| dasy2k1 | usr13: better to use /dev/urandom for the first 6 passes | 03:53 |
| cylob | i like unity | 03:53 |
| xsinick | I like the look | 03:53 |
| multipass | in 11.04 gnome-- how do i make cursor over edge flip workspace or move windows to otherworspaces(compiz fusion settings used to let me do this in 10.10)? | 03:53 |
| xsinick | of unity | 03:53 |
| kathie | arand, I seen that | 03:53 |
| KM0201 | !grub | fezzik02 | 03:53 |

| Herbs | kathine debian wouldnt be a step backwards would it lol | 03:53 |
| ohsix | Herbs: no need for ad hominem or calling people names, if you have a question ask it; or please be quiet, or take your outbursts to #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:53 |
| arand | Herbs: Please, you are not being very friendly here.. | 03:54 |
| OchoZero9 | I want to like unity, but it's a mission to start it | 03:54 |
| usr13 | dasy2k1: ok... yea | 03:54 |
| ohsix | cylob: how did you install it? | 03:54 |
| xsinick | but why is there less stuff | 03:54 |
| anonemoose | Does anyone know, can Brasero burn DVD+Rs compatible with consumer DVD players? If not, what's a program that can? | 03:54 |
| xsinick | ? | 03:54 |
| Herbs | oshix she started | 03:54 |
| cylob | ohsix: just downloaded it from google and double clicked | 03:54 |
| OchoZero9 | Herbs: maybe you are understating the number of steps | 03:54 |
| kathie | Herbs, this chat is probably the most helpful place. Idiots like you were never tolerated | 03:54 |
| Herbs | Im responding as I always will | 03:54 |
| ohsix | Herbs: i didn't even say what she said; and it doesn't matter | 03:54 |
| dasy2k1 | anonemoose: should be compatable | 03:54 |
| ncg | hey | 03:54 |
| xsinick | I had to change to classic mode to get to customize my tool bar | 03:54 |
| ncg | can , iask a question here? | 03:54 |
| xangua | kathie: you can still use 'clasic' gnome desktop i believe | 03:55 |
| anonemoose | Dasy2k1 I'm just checking here, I don't want to waste any of these | 03:55 |
| mordof | ncg: don't ask to ask, just ask | 03:55 |
| xsinick | and to stop it from doubling on my dual screens | 03:55 |
| dasy2k1 | ncg dont ask to ask , just ask | 03:55 |

| ohsix | cylob: you might be interested in googleearth-package, it will make a .deb for you, it's cleaner to install and remove that way; also it will depend on, and thus install fonts it depends on | 03:55 |
| OchoZero9 | xangua: yes. that's what I was on just a few minutes ago | 03:55 |
| cylob | ubuntu is the only linux distro ive found where my usb wireless dongle internet JUST WORKS | 03:55 |
| ncg | i was upgrading my ubuntu to 11.04 | 03:55 |

| cylob | ohsix: is that in the software center? | 03:55 |
| xsinick | I'm gonna switch back to unity and take screen shots of problems | 03:55 |
| rileyp | ncg yyyeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss annnnnnnnnnnnddddddd | 03:56 |
| ohsix | cylob: yea, it's also the package name if you just want to apt-get install it | 03:56 |
| usr13 | afroman: or 4 more times.... (never was very good with math.) | 03:56 |
| mordof | ncg: try not to hit Enter so much, with the amount of talking your problem won't get noticed as easily | 03:56 |
| KM0201 | kathie: it takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's really not bad.... i chose to switch to xfce, rather than deal w/ unity any longer | 03:56 |
| teddyroosebelt | boy that upgrade really did a number on my box :( | 03:56 |
| kathie | An op should boot Herbs, he is really annoying | 03:56 |
| ohsix | cylob: it contains make-googleearth-package, which you run to make the .deb for you | 03:56 |
| usr13 | afroman: Something like that anyway. | 03:56 |
| yi`zhi | oooh i just remembered something important (to me at least): will i be able to type in korean, chinese, and japanese when i upgrade? | 03:56 |
| arand | kathie: I guess the idea is to steer towards using the keyborad, which seems to be faster in the end.. I'm not sure I like it either, but that's Unity for you.. | 03:56 |
| ohsix | KM0201: you know about the classic session right? | 03:56 |
| rileyp | xfce rocks so simple and never fails | 03:56 |
| yi`zhi | i use the keyboard input methods thing on 10.10 | 03:56 |
| stbain1 | teddyroosebelt, yah, me too (both laptop and desktop). Had to blow one away... trying to salvage the other now. | 03:56 |
| yi`zhi | will that still be around when i upgrade? | 03:57 |
| Herbs | for what exactly I have said ubuntu is good | 03:57 |
| ncg | and when i rebooted , this error appeared : init: playmouth mainprocess (61) killed by SEGV signal | 03:57 |
| ncg | ?! | 03:57 |
| mordof | how do i put someone on ignore in irssi? lol | 03:57 |
| ohsix | Herbs: do you have a question, please take your outbursts elsewhere | 03:57 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: yeah.. but i figure gnome 3 is coming out.. probably in november.. and my laptop is an old crappy one.. .i knew i'd ahve to make the switch eventually, so 11.04 was as good as any>. :) | 03:57 |
| soreau | gosh darn it why can't they just put the icons on all menus already | 03:57 |
| mickster04 | mordof: /SET IGNORE XXX perhaps? | 03:57 |
| ohsix | ncg: nvidia or ati card? | 03:57 |
| dasy2k1 | yi`zhi: it will be there somwhere, but if you are using unity it may take some finding! | 03:57 |
| multipass | in 11.04 gnome-- how do i make cursor over edge flip workspace or move windows to otherworspaces(compiz fusion settings used to let me do this in 10.10)? | 03:57 |
| fezzik02 | error: unsupported RAID level: 255?? | 03:57 |
| teddyroosebelt | stbain1, ya.. i lost my box. im reinstalling with a old disk now. shame on me for upgrading haha | 03:57 |
| mordof | oh hey, /ignore works, lol | 03:57 |
| mordof | yay no more Herbs ^-^ | 03:57 |
| soreau | How can you get icons to appear on System menu in gnome-panel? | 03:57 |
| yi`zhi | dasy2k1, what do you mean? i can't search synaptic or something? | 03:57 |
| mickster04 | mordof: he can still see you though -_- | 03:57 |
| ohsix | KM0201: the panel and stuff will stay around for a long time, even with gnome-shell | 03:58 |
| mordof | mickster04: i don't care :p he's been told many times he's being annoying and needs to stop | 03:58 |
| * yi`zhi is a nublet | 03:58 | |
| arand | soreau: That's a gnome feature you know :þ | 03:58 |
| kathie | KM0201, arand, I guess it's like anything else, just going to take some getting used to. Is there anyway to add things to the panel? | 03:58 |
| mordof | mickster04: maybe if 3/4 of the channel ignores him he'll get the picture | 03:58 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: dunno, the gnome 3 panel i tried, looked totally different | 03:58 |
| mordof | or.. just ramble to himself *shrugs* | 03:58 |
| ohsix | KM0201: i hesitate to say indefinitely but i can't see some developers leave it behind | 03:58 |
| arand | soreau: You Can find that in gconf somewhere. | 03:58 |
| Herbs | ohshix im helping yuour punters I did have an ubuntu specific question last night that no one could answer Im a red hat admin | 03:58 |
| Ash-catchem | ubuntu freezes when I connect to my router....any ideas? | 03:58 |
| wurfs | soreau: happened to me - reboot and icons are there | 03:58 |
| soreau | arand: Yea, I know that. I was asking where | 03:58 |
| soreau | wurfs: It's a gconf key somewhere | 03:58 |
| KM0201 | kathie: i couldn't figure out how to, but you can create anothe rpanel, and add items to it... (i think).. and just set it to auto hide | 03:58 |
| yi`zhi | Herbs, seriously, as long as you aren't flooding the channel, who cares what you type? | 03:58 |
| soreau | How can you get icons to appear on System menu in gnome-panel? | 03:58 |
| Herbs | the only thing about debian/ubuntu is stop moving things lol | 03:58 |
| arand | kathie: you use "add to favourites" to add items. | 03:58 |
| dasy2k1 | yi`zhi: easy to install things as before but the interface is a bit differnt, if you use classic it will be exactly where you expect it tho | 03:59 |
| yi`zhi | ah ok | 03:59 |
| anonemoose | So, has anyone had any experiences with Brasero messing up DVD+R, making it incompatible? | 03:59 |
| afroman | thx | 03:59 |
| yi`zhi | dasy2k1, do you have suggestions for switching language inputs? or is keyboard input methods the best one? | 03:59 |

| kathie | KM0201, arand, Ok, thanks for the help! I'm going to go play a little more. Ubuntu still ROCKS!! | 03:59 |
| soreau | arand: thanks | 04:00 |
| robin0800 | kathie, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/the-omg-guide-to-must-have-indicator-applets/ | 04:00 |
| soreau | that was it | 04:00 |
| afroman | usr13: thx | 04:00 |
| fezzik02 | Can anyone explain how GRUB is reinstalled | 04:00 |
| usr13 | afroman: np | 04:00 |
| dasy2k1 | anonemoose: only if you accedentally tick keep the disc open... (excepting the normal amount of coasters that you get with any dvd buring) | 04:00 |
| afroman | dasy2k1: thx | 04:00 |
| ohsix | anonemoose: i'm not sure what part would "make" it incompatible, it tries very hard to make images/disks that will play in dvd players; what problem are you having? | 04:00 |
| mickster04 | !grub | fezzik02 | 04:00 |
| ubottu | fezzik02: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 04:00 |
| bittyx-laptop | now that yi`zhi has mentioned language inputs - in my win7 i use alt+shift+1 for english, alt+shift+2 for serbian/latin, etc. and i prefer to access them directly like this, rather then cycle through them with a single shortcut. is this possible to do in ubuntu? | 04:00 |
| dasy2k1 | fezzik02: via grub-install normally | 04:00 |
| kathie | robin0800, thanks! | 04:01 |
| fezzik02 | Ok, but Ubuntu doesn't actually boot. | 04:01 |
| arand | fezzik02: There is a section on the wiki about reinstalling, I would go with the chroot option. | 04:01 |
| afroman | dasy2k1: usr13: but is there another way to wipe out just the empty space? | 04:01 |
| usr13 | fezzik02: You boot the live CD and then mount the root filesystem (where / is) and chroot to it and then re-install grub boot loader (properly or ... whatever). Something like that anyway. | 04:01 |
| soreau | Great. I went to remove my name from the panel and the entire right side disappeared | 04:01 |
| anonemoose | ohsix none yet, fingers crossed I won't. I just have a _very_ limited supply of DVD+R discs, and I don't want to waste any that I don't have to... and I make disco balls out of my ruined discs... | 04:01 |
| KM0201 | fezzik02: read the link, you have to do all that from a live cd | 04:01 |
| JoshuaYoshua | Hi | 04:01 |
| ohsix | bittyx-laptop: iirc you can assign shortcuts to each ime in the options | 04:01 |
| usr13 | !grub2 | fezzik02 | 04:01 |
| ubottu | fezzik02: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 04:01 |
| mickster04 | fezzik02: well the restoregrub link ois for you then | 04:01 |
| mickster04 | is* | 04:01 |
| ohsix | anonemoose: ahh, well in that case make brasero burn to an .iso image file; then burn that to the disk | 04:02 |
| rpk | Can I check the cd for defects in 11.04? | 04:02 |
| usr13 | ooops sorry someone already did that. Was typing when should have been reading.... sorry. | 04:02 |
| rpk | to see if thats the cause of the error | 04:02 |
| mickster04 | !md5 | rpk | 04:02 |
| ubottu | rpk: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 04:02 |
| ohsix | anonemoose: then you can skip the huge transcoding task in the middle if you have to try again | 04:02 |
| anonemoose | ohsix thanks, I'll keep that in mind! | 04:02 |
| rpk | I meant the burned cd? | 04:02 |
| Ivan96485 | Is there a way to save the data that is currently on my RAM? | 04:02 |
| dasy2k1 | afroman: not sure why you would want to do that. if you want to delete things use shred -u | 04:02 |
| rpk | like the old installers had a "Check cd for defects" option | 04:02 |
| fezzik02 | mickster4, Ok, I've done restoregrub about six times, no fix | 04:02 |
| daniel | how do i burn movies with ubuntu i do everything in brasero then when i click burn it just closes | 04:02 |
| amorton | Ivan96485, why would you want to? | 04:02 |
| rpk | I assume its still there, just hidden now? | 04:03 |
| dasy2k1 | rpk still there, you just have to press esc as soon as you see the brown screen | 04:03 |
| KM0201 | fezzik02: then either your ubuntu install is gone, or you're not doing it correctly | 04:03 |
| mickster04 | Ivan96485: not natively no... or hybernate kinda does? | 04:03 |
| Ash-catchem | ubuntu freezes when I connect to my router....any ideas? | 04:03 |
| ohsix | bittyx-laptop: ah i just looked, just enable/disable and next/previous | 04:03 |
| rpk | dasy2k1: thanks | 04:03 |
| xsinick | robin0800: smartphone generation that will learn later and add that shit back | 04:03 |
| Ivan96485 | Well, a friend forgot to save a paper that is due tomorrow. | 04:03 |
| soreau | wtf guys? I tried to remove my name from the panel and all the information on the right side disappeared. Adding Notification Applet does not bring it back | 04:03 |
| ohsix | bittyx-laptop: maybe something other than ibus can do bindings like you want | 04:03 |
| fezzik02 | km0201, I'm pretty sure it's there, I just installed it this afternoon. | 04:03 |
| anonemoose | Ivan96485, what was he using? Openoffice has a recover function | 04:03 |
| ohsix | !resetpanels | soreau | 04:04 |
| ubottu | soreau: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 04:04 |
| fezzik02 | When I go to recovery console and select failsafex, it works... | 04:04 |
| bittyx-laptop | ohsix: yeah, that's what i've been finding as well, hence the question. i realized it's not built-in, but was wondering if there was some hack to make it work like that. | 04:04 |
| JoshuaYoshua | Does anyone have any advice for burning a disc when you DVD drive might be poor. It's just that I've written Ubuntu 11.04 twice now and I have the burning software validate the disc after and I can open it and see or the files... but after I restart it's not detected when booting and when I try to view the files on the disc it doesn't detect anything. | 04:04 |
| amorton | Ivan96485, if he closed the software he was using its gone | 04:04 |
| dasy2k1 | springscar: its an indicator applett session you have removed | 04:04 |
| Ivan96485 | amorton: Thanks | 04:04 |
| JoshuaYoshua | I can see by physically looking at the disc that it has been written to. So I don't know | 04:04 |
| robin0800 | xsinick, you can set it to all then all will be shown | 04:04 |
| Omega | LibreOffice also has a recover function | 04:04 |
| mickster04 | \!md5 | JoshuaYoshua | 04:04 |
| xsinick | why do I have to install the appelet stuff back when the system already have it in classic mode | 04:04 |
| KM0201 | fezzik02: if it can't find grub to update/reinstall it.. or you're doing it wrong | 04:04 |
| Omega | !md5 | JoshuaYoshua | 04:04 |
| ubottu | JoshuaYoshua: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 04:04 |
| xsinick | >:( | 04:04 |
| ohsix | bittyx-laptop: i know the other one can do it, i can't even remember the name at the moment though, i've been using them through ibus for so long | 04:04 |
| amorton | I dont think any of those work if you have never saved the doc, am i wrong? | 04:05 |
| usr13 | JoshuaYoshua: turn your speed down I guess is the only advice I can think of. Or maybe try different CD burning software? | 04:05 |
| soreau | ohsix: Smooth move, the panels disappeared and now there are *no* panels | 04:05 |
| fezzik02 | km0201, it seems to find GRUB2 just fine | 04:05 |
| JoshuaYoshua | Well the ISO passes the md5 check, checked that | 04:05 |
| dasy2k1 | JoshuaYoshua: boot the disk, then hit escape when you see the first ubuntu screen, then use check disc for defects | 04:05 |
| Ivan96485 | He was using a program called pages for the mac, since both linux and ubuntu are unix-based I thought you guys would be more helpful than a mac chat. | 04:05 |
| KM0201 | fezzik02: then you're not installing it correctly | 04:05 |
| anonemoose | amorton OO periodically saves it to a temporary file in case there's a fatal error | 04:05 |
| Flynsarmy | hey guys i'm doing a "tar cC /path/to/files ." which tars the entire folder but inside the tar file everything is in a '.' subfolder...how can i remove that subfolder? | 04:05 |
| Omega | soreau: start gnome-panel | 04:05 |
| usr13 | JoshuaYoshua: What software are you using? | 04:05 |
| amorton | well, then Ivan96485 that would be his best bet | 04:05 |
| fezzik02 | km0201: I don't think Ubiquity really leaves room for doubt | 04:05 |
| ohsix | soreau: your session manager should have restarted them | 04:05 |
| soreau | Omega: It was running | 04:05 |
| Omega | type gnome-panel in a console | 04:05 |
| daniel | how do i burn movies with ubuntu i do everything in brasero then when i click burn it just closes | 04:05 |
| soreau | Omega: ohsix: I had to restart it again | 04:05 |
| ohsix | soreau: if you've got some brain death going on there i don't know what to tell you | 04:06 |
| KM0201 | fezzik02: i'ev reinstalled grub from a live cd, following those instructions, a gazillion times... so i know they are right.,. | 04:06 |
| bittyx-laptop | ohsix: okay, i'll look it up if it's possible. thanks for the heads up, good to know it's possible. | 04:06 |
| daniel | is there a better program to use to burn movies | 04:06 |
| soreau | ohsix: Hey, don't make rude comments to me | 04:06 |
| afroman | dasy2k1: so is there a way? | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | daniel: try K3B I guess | 04:06 |
| usr13 | daniel: You could try k3b | 04:06 |
| Ivan96485 | Still, I would like to know how to save the data on the ram, is there a way to do that on ubuntu? | 04:06 |
| ChronicSyncope | well dont ask me how, but somehow i got desktop cube working now. | 04:06 |
| fezzik02 | km0201: You can reinstall GRUB2 from Live CD? | 04:06 |
| dasy2k1 | afroman: probabbly. but i dont know it off the top of my head GIYF | 04:06 |
| xsinick | the problem is that some dev try to make it an apple | 04:06 |
| Herbs | daniel try running brasero from a terminal should give you stderror then | 04:06 |
| ohsix | soreau: i meant with whatever session manager, or lack thereof that you are running | 04:06 |
| KM0201 | fezzik02: have you listeneed to a word thats been said, or even bothered to read that link you were given to, like 5x? | 04:06 |
| ChronicSyncope | why do menu-items look so ugly when i right-click on them? | 04:06 |
| JoshuaYoshua | The burning software in Windows 7 | 04:07 |
| Ziber | Is there a way in ubuntu 10.10 to use skype without making the audio stuff be via pulse audio? | 04:07 |
| arand | fezzik02: Yes you can. | 04:07 |
| xsinick | becuase they never used linux before and is accustome to MAc os | 04:07 |
| JoshuaYoshua | I will try ImgBurn next, but think it will be the same | 04:07 |
| soreau | <ohsix> soreau: if you've got some brain death going on there i don't know what to tell you <-- I find this very rude and offensive | 04:07 |
| afroman | usr13: do U know a way to wipe out just the empty space? | 04:07 |
| KM0201 | !grub | fezzik02 now stop asking questions, and read the link | 04:07 |
| ubottu | fezzik02 now stop asking questions, and read the link: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 04:07 |
| soreau | ohsix: Do not make rude comments to me | 04:07 |
| bouma | giday, when i use chmod -R 660 dir , after chown myuser:myuser -R dir, i can no longer enter the contained dirs with nautilus ? why ? | 04:07 |
| usr13 | fezzik02: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 04:07 |
| dasy2k1 | JoshuaYoshua: ahh, windows default software will most likley just burn the .iso as a single file to a data disk rather then burn the iso to the disk as an image | 04:07 |
| JoshuaYoshua | I say this because I had trouble with some other things | 04:07 |
| ohsix | soreau: what session manager are you running? it should have restarted the panel | 04:07 |
| Strav | Hi. I just upgraded my ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 (arch is amd64, running an amd e350 apu), the grub menu is gone and while ubuntu still starts to boot, at some point, the screen gets no signal and shut itself off (I cannot access the VTs in this state). Any suggestion on which bug/s I'm having here? (don't want to report a duplicate) | 04:07 |
| Ziber | !skype | 04:08 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 04:08 |
| usr13 | afroman: Is this empty space at the end of the drive or in the middle or the end? | 04:08 |
| bouma | i meant, when i use chmod -R 660 dir , after chown -R myuser:myuser dir, i can no longer enter the contained dirs with nautilus ? why ? | 04:08 |
| JoshuaYoshua | dasy2k1, nah it burns it as it should | 04:08 |
| thien | drwxr-xr-x 5 thien root 4096 2011-04-29 01:13 Setup | 04:08 |
| thien | ==> what is "d"? | 04:08 |
| soreau | ohsix: Leave me alone because you are not helping | 04:08 |
| ohsix | thien: directory | 04:08 |
| fezzik02 | Ok, I'm off to try that. | 04:08 |
| bouma | thien: dir | 04:08 |
| KM0201 | geez.. | 04:08 |
| thien | ok | 04:08 |
| ChronicSyncope | wtf happened to the minimize to desktop applet for gnome? | 04:08 |
| ohsix | soreau: i do not know why your panel didn't restart then, not without that information, i'm sorry it didn't | 04:08 |
| soreau | I need to know why, when I try to remove my name from gnome-panel, it removes the entire right side of the panel info | 04:08 |
| ChronicSyncope | nvm. i'm stupid. | 04:08 |
| soreau | ohsix: Don't talk to me | 04:08 |
| soreau | /ignore ohsix | 04:08 |
| soreau | err.. | 04:08 |
| bouma | thien: i think it can also have other letters eg special files like "network" sockets eg | 04:09 |
| KM0201 | !stupid | ChronicSyncope | 04:09 |
| ubottu | ChronicSyncope: The only dumb or stupid question is the one not asked. Please do not tell people off for asking something, just because it seems simple or obvious to you -- we discourage this attitude in all our channels. | 04:09 |
| ohsix | !ot | soreau | 04:09 |
| ubottu | soreau: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: in Unity or Ubuntu Classic Desktop? | 04:09 |
| Nostromo | Upgraded from 10.10 to natty, backlight on laptop no longer worked (could only read the screen with a flashlight). Wiped and installed fresh, same problem. No backlight. Anyone have any idea how to fix? | 04:09 |
| xsinick | ubuntu is operating slower | 04:09 |
| soreau | sebsebseb: Classic gnome-panel | 04:09 |
| afroman | usr13: I don't know ... the free space on a partition | 04:09 |
| Strav | (besides: I tried to reinstall grub from a usb 10.10 install by chrooting into my failed 11.04, and using apt-get and grub-update from there... no luck) | 04:09 |
| bouma | thien: but im trying to figure out my own simplish chmod quandry ! see previous msg's | 04:09 |
| ChronicSyncope | lol KM0201 | 04:09 |
| ohsix | Nostromo: wiped and installed natty again? | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: I think Canonial have set it up like that or something | 04:09 |
| Nostromo | ohsix: yes. | 04:09 |
| KM0201 | ChronicSyncope: :) | 04:09 |
| usr13 | afroman: If it is at the beginning and you can calculate exactly how many bytes to write to, I suppose yes you could, but if it's a section in the middle... well... if you don't know I don't either. | 04:09 |
| ohsix | Nostromo: that's unfortunately a common problem, intel video right? | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: they want you to use the Gnome 2 patches | 04:09 |
| soreau | sebsebseb: You're not helping either | 04:09 |
| Nostromo | ohsix: correct | 04:09 |
| ohsix | soreau: don't badger people | 04:10 |
| soreau | I want to know why when trying to remove my name from gnome-panel, the entire right side of everything disappears | 04:10 |
| stbain1 | anyone else running a Broadcom wireless having trouble getting it going (even w/ proprietary firmware driver)? | 04:10 |
| Nostromo | ohsix: please tell me there is a solution... /praying | 04:10 |
| xsinick | this is the worst ubuntu ever | 04:10 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: a bug or feature I guess | 04:10 |
| bouma | well was hoping for a quick fix but RL calls. check ya l8r | 04:10 |
| ohsix | Nostromo: ok, you can try installing xorg-edgers and running the kernel they package, it has updated driver components | 04:10 |
| arand | soreau: The whole thing is one big applet | 04:10 |
| ChronicSyncope | xsinick, it's been released officially for a day, relax | 04:10 |
| soreau | arand: Yes how do you edit it? | 04:10 |
| Strav | Anyone? | 04:10 |
| kyle___ | is there a bug with installing from the latest ubuntu cd's???? | 04:10 |
| soreau | arand: And what is the applet called? | 04:10 |
| ohsix | Nostromo: but it might not, and you'll need to file a bug; i've told 3 people to file today so it should be getting lots of attention :] | 04:10 |
| fezzik02 | xsinick, I think it could be a veritable Waterloo | 04:10 |
| arand | soreau: I think you can disable things by uninstalling packages, hmm. | 04:11 |
| ohsix | kyle___: yes but you won't tell us what it is! | 04:11 |
| Nostromo | ohsix: fairly new to this, and have to do it by flashlight. Is there an easy command line thingy to type? | 04:11 |
| usr13 | afroman: free space on a partition? That is a contradiction of terms. | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: I think they have linked it together much more than it was before, altough only tried that in beta 2, not the 11.04 final yet | 04:11 |
| kyle___ | mainly they dont work | 04:11 |
| Herbs | well googled ossix | 04:11 |
| Drone4four | For some reason ALT+F3 doesn't prompt the run dialog box. wtf? i checked keyboard shortcuts and there is no entry for run dialogue. how do I get my run dialog back? | 04:11 |
| Ziber | how can i test my mic in ubuntu? | 04:11 |
| xsinick | I understand you guys | 04:11 |
| kyle___ | ive tried 32 bit and 64 bit on 3 different pc's none of them boot | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: it may not be like 10.04, where you can remove some of the stuff, without removing all of it | 04:11 |
| soreau | Sliker[Bed]: It is a rude comment to me | 04:11 |
| afroman | usr13: what do U mean? | 04:11 |
| soreau | I don't care what you think | 04:11 |
| dasy2k1 | Drone4four: its alt+F2 | 04:11 |
| Drone4four | i meant to say alt f2 | 04:11 |
| Drone4four | alt f2 doesn't work | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: oh what a lovely attitude you have for this channel | 04:11 |
| soreau | sebsebseb: Yes it's not like 10.10 | 04:11 |
| usr13 | afroman: Free space refers to an un-partitioned area on a hard drive. | 04:11 |
| lsheeba | Greetings all , i downloaded the torrent alternate i386 file , i dont have cd's , can i still upgrade from this file i have | 04:12 |
| xsinick | I understand but to be honest I smell Mac OS snobbery on my beloved Unbuntu | 04:12 |
| ohsix | Nostromo: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa in a terminal | 04:12 |
| soreau | sebsebseb: You didn't see what he msg'd me | 04:12 |
| Rehan | how's it going usr13 | 04:12 |
| soreau | arand: But what is the applet called? | 04:12 |
| Ziber | Anyone have mic problems with skype in 10.10? | 04:12 |
| Nostromo | ohsix: you're my hero | 04:12 |
| dasy2k1 | Drone4four: are you using unity or classic? | 04:12 |
| Drone4four | classic | 04:12 |
| xsinick | I got to check this out] | 04:12 |
| ohsix | Nostromo: then apt-get update, apt-get upgrade | 04:12 |
| bittyx-laptop | okay, i've installed 11.04, and everything went smoothly, then i rebooted, got to the login screen, entered my password, and all the controls disappeared - now i only see a purplish background and my mouse cursor and nothing's happening (for about 2 minutes now) | 04:12 |
| Herbs | ohsix why should he add a repo because you say? | 04:12 |
| ChronicSyncope | what key is KP5 in compiz? | 04:12 |
| afroman | usr13: I don't think we understand each other | 04:12 |
| bittyx-laptop | any ideas? | 04:12 |
| ohsix | Nostromo: it might not fix it | 04:12 |
| xsinick | I may be a gnome problem | 04:12 |
| dasy2k1 | Drone4four: working for me, you could allways add the run applet to the panel | 04:13 |
| ChronicSyncope | nvm. it's the keypad | 04:13 |
| kyle___ | ok ill rephrase, is there a bug with the latest install cd's mainly that they dont work, ive tried them on 3 different pc's and they wont boot, kinda makes me worried to upgrade over the net, can anyone confirm this? | 04:13 |
| Nostromo | ohsix: I'll cross my fingers. Would have reported bug already but seems the registration server is overloaded | 04:13 |
| soreau | I want to know why when trying to remove my name from gnome-panel, the entire right side of everything disappears | 04:13 |
| usr13 | afroman: The best thing I can tell you is to make an image of your drive, (on a usb drive would be one option), and then wipe it clean, and then copy the image back on the drive. | 04:13 |
| ohsix | Nostromo: and in any case if it worked, it would just be something to report with the bug, because the fix needs to get from the updated drivers to the version included in ubuntu | 04:13 |
| Drone4four | dasy2k1, i'll try adding the run applet to my panel | 04:13 |
| Nostromo | ohsix: noted | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: I thik it's meant to, like I said before, Canonical want you to use that stuff | 04:13 |
| ohsix | soreau: it's part of a hueg combo applet | 04:13 |
| arand | soreau: indicator-applet I think, and the element have names similar.. | 04:13 |
| dasy2k1 | soreau: thats because its one applet, indicator applet session | 04:13 |
| Herbs | never add a repo someone tells you to without good reason! | 04:13 |
| bittyx-laptop | how can i force ubuntu to get me back to the login screen (if it's possible)? | 04:14 |
| afroman | usr13: on a partion, there is used space (containning the data) and free space. I want to wipe out clean just the free space so that nothing can be retrieved. | 04:14 |
| Drone4four | ty dasy2k1 | 04:14 |
| kyle___ | anyone? | 04:14 |
| soreau | ohsix: sebsebseb: arand: dasy2k1: How can I edit it though? | 04:14 |
| dasy2k1 | bittyx-laptop: alt+printscreen then K | 04:14 |
| Ivan96485 | Does folding@home wortk on 11.04? | 04:14 |
| soreau | I don't want all that crap in my panel | 04:14 |
| ohsix | Herbs: it contains updated drivers, it is semi official in ubuntu, they have a bleeding edge and stable driver update ppa; and all the people rolling packages in it are ubuntu developers | 04:14 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: you may be able to remove an applet for it, but something tells me, it's not as customisable as before | 04:14 |
| ohsix | soreau: if you don't want the big one add the ones the big ones include | 04:14 |
| multipass | gnome was way better than unity | 04:14 |
| multipass | :| | 04:15 |
| bittyx-laptop | dasy2k1: heh, thanks. | 04:15 |
| arand | soreau: I think you can install certain parts of it, e.g. "indicator-messages" | 04:15 |
| Herbs | ohsix thats cool maybe mention it though | 04:15 |
| bittyx-laptop | dasy2k1: only problem - now my mouse doesn't work :s | 04:15 |
| sebsebseb | multipass: you can use Gnome Shell in 11.04 :) | 04:15 |
| bittyx-laptop | the keyboard works, though... | 04:15 |
| ChronicSyncope | wow resizing windows the "normal" way with compiz doesn't seem to be working right. | 04:15 |
| multipass | sebsebseb, yeah i am, i tried using unity for a few hours.. hmm | 04:15 |
| ohsix | multipass: gnome is still there, it's 99.99% of what ubuntu is, unity is 0.001%, a plugin for a window manager, compiz; and you can pick the classic session from the login screen | 04:15 |
| ohsix | Herbs: that elaboration was for you, i didn't need to justify suggesting it | 04:15 |
| usr13 | afroman: Let's say you create a gziped image of the drive, you can delete the partitions, write zeros to it a bunch of times, write the image back onto the drive. | 04:15 |
| dasy2k1 | soreau: just add the old applets you want, indicator applet rather than indicator applet complete | 04:15 |
| soreau | dasy2k1: arand: ok | 04:16 |
| multipass | i dont think the "file menu bar" should be at the top for every window, very inconvenient imo | 04:16 |
| lsheeba | guys any1 , i downloaded the torrent alternate i386 file , i dont have cd's , can i still upgrade from this file i have | 04:16 |
| kyle___ | does anyone know? | 04:16 |
| ChogyDan | lsheeba: yeah | 04:16 |
| lsheeba | ChogyDan, how?! | 04:16 |
| xsinick | I think there needs to be and Ubuntu 12 pronto this is begining to look like a big epic fail for the first time in it's history | 04:16 |
| shane4ubuntu | Ok, I'm starting to learn Unity, I found there are many indicators that can be added up in the corner, how do I add them? | 04:16 |
| Strav | I can't believe how much nerd rage a left sided docker can bring. | 04:16 |
| ohsix | multipass: versions for review had been available for a very long time before the release; any particular reason why you are reporting your issues with the decisions made now, and on a help channel? | 04:16 |
| Herbs | ohsix why not if we carry on in this way we will be more insucure than windows | 04:16 |
| afroman | usr13: I get that. but can U just write zeros on JUST The free space? | 04:16 |
| dasy2k1 | lsheeba: if you have a working install of ubuntu i would just use update manager | 04:16 |
| Herbs | yeah install this from the rwepos box owened | 04:17 |
| lsheeba | dasy2k1, but my internet is slow | 04:17 |
| ohsix | Herbs: sure why not, it's not as if ppa's aren't signed by the uploader like any other pakcage | 04:17 |
| ChogyDan | lsheeba: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades#Upgrading Using the Alternate CD/DVD | 04:17 |
| kyle___ | ok ill rephrase, is there a bug with the latest install cd's mainly that they dont work, ive tried them on 3 different pc's and they wont boot, kinda makes me worried to upgrade over the net, can anyone confirm this? | 04:17 |
| multipass | ohsix, well i was excited about it, and i just dont know if i could ever use it now that ive seen it | 04:17 |
| shane4ubuntu | This page discusses the indicators, but doesn't seem to explain how to add them to the 'notification area?" | 04:17 |
| shane4ubuntu | http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/the-omg-guide-to-must-have-indicator-applets/ | 04:17 |
| stbain1 | lsheeba, if you do that... make sure you have everything backed up. Update manager bricked both of my computers. Have the CD downloaded and burnt in case you have to re-install from scratch. | 04:17 |
| dasy2k1 | kyle___: install cd (64 bit) workd fine for me | 04:17 |
| Strav | anyways... anyone can boot the amd images? | 04:17 |
| Herbs | yur not targeting Linux usesrs though but windows migraters | 04:17 |
| Strav | dasy2k1: you used the amd64 images? | 04:18 |
| fezzik02 | I can't boot the AMD image :( | 04:18 |
| ohsix | multipass: that's unfortunate, now that natty has shipped they're working on oneiric though; if you want to try and get your input taken as part of it's development, now's the time to start doing it :D | 04:18 |
| kyle___ | i cant boot any image | 04:18 |
| lsheeba | ChogyDan, thanks i didnt read it carefuly before :D about wasting cd's :D | 04:18 |
| mordof | Strav: amd images? how would i tell if i've done that? i upgraded from 10.10 | 04:18 |
| bittyx-laptop | dasy2k1: hey, after i've logged in again, i'm in unity now, and the mouse started working. thanks again for the quick tip! | 04:18 |
| Ash-catchem | ubuntu keeps freezing/crashing...any ideas why???? | 04:18 |
| izinucs | ohsix: what's oneiric? | 04:18 |
| xsinick | look you can hide feature and focus on others make optons for things in the new interface but don't just throw them away | 04:18 |
| mordof | Strav: i booted the live cd amd image.. | 04:18 |
| arand | kyle___: Many have used them succesfully, I'm not sure of a general issue with that no. | 04:19 |
| dasy2k1 | Ash-catchem: try running memtest, random crashes are often caused by bad ram | 04:19 |
| lsheeba | stbain1, i upgraded it online , and then canceled about 1/4 of the way | 04:19 |
| sebsebseb | shane4ubuntu: ok | 04:19 |
| mordof | Strav: didn't install from it though, i ran the live from it | 04:19 |
| ohsix | stbain1: generally you have to have a lot of user changes for it to break; user changes you should undo before you upgrade, next time come around i'll tell you how to fix it, rather than just telling people to be careful since you had a bad experience | 04:19 |
| sebsebseb | shane4ubuntu: ok by the looks of it, that's for Ubuntu Classic Desktop not Unity | 04:19 |
| sebsebseb | shane4ubuntu: and it does say how to install using the ppa's | 04:19 |
| ohsix | izinucs: the next release code name | 04:19 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | for running jar archives (example: minecraft) what should I get? openjdk, or gcj? | 04:19 |
| Ash-catchem | dasy2k1: i did the ramtest and it was fine | 04:19 |
| xsinick | why does blender span into the other workspaces on windowed mode? | 04:19 |
| izinucs | ohsix: AH.. didn't know that | 04:19 |
| ohsix | Spaz_Dynamic: openjdk | 04:19 |
| stbain1 | ohsix, just about everything on both of my systems was default | 04:19 |
| ncg | sorry for the disconnection thing , so my problem was this error appeared when i rebooted >> init : playmouth main process (61) killed by SEGV signal | 04:19 |
| JoshuaYoshua | cyas | 04:19 |
| xsinick | I switch to classic and it's the same nonsense | 04:19 |
| multipass | ohsix, reguardless, i like some of the additions to ubuntu 11.04 =) mainly iphone support | 04:20 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | ohsix: Alright, thanks. | 04:20 |
| ohsix | stbain1: i'll take your word for it; like i said, next time, i don't know the circumstances for when it broke for you | 04:20 |
| lsheeba | stbain1, if it bricked like u say , atleast can i boot my windows7 , and do it from their later ? | 04:20 |
| usr13 | afroman: There's no other way I know of. But for just one partition, you could make an image of it and then write zeros to just that partition and then restore the image of that one partition. | 04:20 |
| shane4ubuntu | sebsebseb: but it seems to indicate that those come with 11.04, and reading the article I thought it was unity. | 04:20 |
| sebsebseb | shane4ubuntu: also really what they are telling you, that you can install, is a load of junk | 04:20 |
| Strav | mordof: ok, well I too upgraded from 10.10 (arch: amd64, e350 apu actually) and grub is gone and the screen gets no signal while the boot sequence is checking out the battery (I'm on a desktop so this too is kinda strange). You read anything about something similar... I'm actually browsing launchpad to find something relevant. | 04:20 |
| afroman | usr13: thx | 04:20 |
| mordof | shane4ubuntu: yeah, those are with unity | 04:20 |
| ohsix | multipass: you probably just want to use the classic session instead of unity then, pick it on the login screen | 04:20 |
| mordof | shane4ubuntu: i was reading that also | 04:20 |
| stbain1 | lsheeba, yes, if you have Grub running already, you should be able to fall back to that | 04:20 |
| usr13 | afroman: Let's say it is sda3 | 04:20 |
| sebsebseb | stbain1: well the shut down on top right, and envelope is also in Unity, but that's in classic by default, and what is mentioned there, none of that comes with 11.04 | 04:21 |
| sebsebseb | shane4ubuntu: ^ | 04:21 |
| shane4ubuntu | mordof: I think I figured it out, you need to install them, I searched for indicator, and was able to look at them, however have to reboot in order to activate them. | 04:21 |
| multipass | ohsix, yeah already set to default.. maybe ill try unity again sometime.. kinda felt weird without a window manager | 04:21 |
| robin0800 | shane4ubuntu, double click to start them one off or add to the startup applications | 04:21 |
| ChogyDan | lsheeba: just make sure not to delete the ubuntu partition if you are using grub | 04:21 |
| Fandekasp | hi | 04:21 |
| izinucs | Strav: in the last 6 years I've learned to have a separate /home and simply "install" from cd, usb whatever to the root instead of upgrading.. | 04:21 |
| mordof | Strav: hmm, nah nothing like that happened to me. grub failed, but i reinstalled it | 04:21 |
| sebsebseb | shane4ubuntu: there's loads of junk you can add to Ubuntu, and that site useually tells people about it | 04:21 |
| shane4ubuntu | robin0800: ahh, startup menu | 04:21 |
| superproxy | how long does it take for the installation of natty to finnish | 04:22 |
| Herbs | listen the harsh lesson is if you installed 112.04 then if its buggy tough shite dont install non LFS | 04:22 |
| sebsebseb | superproxy: depends on the computer, should be about 20 minutes to half an hour on most | 04:22 |
| Fandekasp | I tried to configure the 3d desktop for ubuntu 11.04, and it broke some display settings. and now ... after restarting, everything is hidden, i can't see any menu bar any more. the only thing I see is the background image ... and I can do ctrl+alt+mouse to switch between empty desktops ... Do you know what should I do to put back the previous settings ? I can open a shell with ctrl+alt+f1 | 04:22 |
| shane4ubuntu | sebsebseb: it is for unity the first paragraph explains the doing away with the Application Panel indicators, and the new entry of indicators. | 04:22 |
| izinucs | superproxy: clean system fresh install? about 30 minutes or so.. then you do all the upgrades in one shot | 04:22 |
| lsheeba | ChogyDan, :< now u pulling my socks , should i upgrade or not lol , i wanted gnome3 but i heard its unstabled at this point , and Gnome4 will be the future of Gnome and not 3 | 04:22 |
| superproxy | mine is stuck at saving installed packages | 04:22 |
| ohsix | superproxy: a long time, depends on the computer & internet connection; mine took like 2 hours but i had lots of packages installed | 04:22 |
| mordof | superproxy: it took about an hour and a half on my computer | 04:22 |
| multipass | ohsix, i had a opengl game going in unity and it didnt have a top bar to drag it around, and there was no icon to signify it was even open | 04:23 |
| mordof | yeah i had 1500 packages to install, lol | 04:23 |
| Strav | izinucs: I always make a seperate partition for my /home, and last time I tried the ubuntu beta2 image, it failed on grub install | 04:23 |
| ohsix | superproxy: oh installation, nevermind me, that was much faster | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | superproxy: well run the commands they give, and it should add to Unity or Ubuntu Classic I guess | 04:23 |
| Strav | I'll boot from usb and see if I first can fix grub | 04:23 |
| GI_Jack | seriously why does 11.04 take forever to damn boot | 04:23 |
| izinucs | Strav: did you have multiple HD's in the machine? | 04:23 |
| ChogyDan | lsheeba: only install gnome3 on a testing install, or in a vm | 04:23 |
| freeman_ | can someone recommend me a package for unraring rar files | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | Herbs: heh in a way | 04:23 |
| stbain1 | freeman_, try unrar | 04:23 |
| ohsix | GI_Jack: install bootchart and see; i didn't notice any change, if anything it's slightly faster | 04:23 |
| Strav | izinucs: nope, just one ssd | 04:23 |
| usr13 | afroman: dd if=/dev/sda3 | ssh $user@$host 'gzip - > /pub/image.gz' #To make a gziped image of the partiton onto another PC on your LAN. And then: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda3 And then: gzip -d image.gz | dd of=/dev/sda3 (where the image is on some usb drive or copied to another partition) | 04:24 |
| ACameron | Hey all. In the middle of upgrading from 10.10 -> 11.04; got told to consider submitting a bug report about monodoc-base failing to install. Where do I report this bug? | 04:24 |
| mordof | freeman_: there's a rar pack in the repos that adds to the main compressing untilitiy | 04:24 |
| izinucs | Strav: oh well.. you fixed it though.. that's good. | 04:24 |
| xsinick | freeman_: just go to the software center and install rar | 04:24 |
| ohsix | ACameron: launchpad.net | 04:24 |
| freeman_ | i look for rar in software center and its not there | 04:24 |
| ACameron | ohsix: thanks. | 04:24 |
| freeman_ | unrar is there but id like to make rar files too | 04:24 |
| xsinick | freeman_: next time to right click on a file it would give option to unrar | 04:24 |
| superproxy | the progress bar isn't moving :(, how do I check if my cd is allright? | 04:24 |
| izinucs | freeman_: look for 7zip .. I think that does it too. | 04:24 |
| mordof | freeman_: rar is in there | 04:24 |
| checkers | hi, virtualbox seamless mode doesn't display properly with the new ubuntu UI. Has anyone else run into this and found a solution? | 04:24 |
| lsheeba | dasy2k1, ChogyDan , stbain1 , and all whos helping , Thanks all =) and i know for a fact , i trust mysystem more with linux then using a mac os x when i have no idea what is running in the background | 04:25 |
| ohsix | freeman_: rar is nonfree, you need to enable the universe repos; i don't know if software-center does that, or looks there | 04:25 |
| stbain1 | lsheeba, you're welcome | 04:25 |
| Strav | izinucs: if you're talking about grub, nope it isn't fixed... I'll chroot into my failed 11.04 to see if I can fix anything | 04:25 |
| ohsix | mordof: only if you enable the extra repos | 04:25 |
| xsinick | freeman_: Ubuntu 11.04 may have buugs and not work as well as 10.10 | 04:25 |
| izinucs | checkers: you're not running dual monitors are you? | 04:25 |
| mordof | oooh | 04:25 |
| mordof | ohsix: i forgot i did that xD | 04:25 |
| ivzel | hallo! i had download alternate cd of Natty, but when try to upgrade, system goes to internet anyway. what can i do? | 04:25 |
| freeman_ | xsinick, the bugs are the fun part :> | 04:25 |
| Herbs | forget rar use gzip | 04:25 |
| izinucs | Strav: I feel for you.. | 04:25 |
| mordof | checkers: trying it now | 04:25 |
| Chilaquiles | is anyone here that knows how to make nautilus to look like file finder from Mac OS x? | 04:25 |
| ohsix | i've typed a small novel in here today, gonna go do something else | 04:26 |
| mordof | checkers: seemless mode works fine for me | 04:26 |
| xsinick | freeman_: I was being a d**k when I typed that | 04:26 |
| GI_Jack | fuck natty | 04:26 |
| mordof | checkers: although it makes the unity bar hide forever, lol | 04:26 |
| freeman_ | xsinick, its ok :) | 04:26 |
| ohsix | Chilaquiles: that would be nice :D i doubt spacebar and stuff would work the same, i like th emulticolumn mode | 04:26 |
| xsinick | GI_Jack: yes | 04:26 |
| freeman_ | i think im going to try 7zip | 04:26 |
| ohsix | GI_Jack: #ubuntu-offtopic, if you have a help question please ask | 04:26 |
| usr13 | ohsix: YOu should cosider publishing your work. | 04:26 |
| thanos | arand, thanks you! | 04:26 |
| afroman | usr13: thx | 04:26 |
| Chilaquiles | ohsix I have seen some pictures | 04:26 |
| freeman_ | thanks everyone for the continued help :D | 04:26 |
| Chilaquiles | ohsix: I have seen some pictures | 04:26 |
| rgoytacaz | Any had any luck with Nvidia Drivers for ubuntu 11.04? | 04:26 |
| xsinick | but GI_Jack is right guys it nonsense | 04:26 |
| GI_Jack | ohsix: why does the new version of udev choke on my sata controller | 04:27 |
| arand | thanos: Were you able to get to the old files? | 04:27 |
| mordof | rgoytacaz: apparently mine are working.. i don't know | 04:27 |
| thanos | arand, with new kernel i can see my files | 04:27 |
| GI_Jack | and/or the kernel for that matter | 04:27 |
| arand | thanos: Excellent =) | 04:27 |
| fruitwerks-web | anyone have experience with nfs? | 04:27 |
| thanos | arand, :` ) | 04:27 |
| usr13 | afroman: NP. And sorry, but I know of no real simple solution. I was hoping someone that knew some easier way would step in but... no such luck. There may be no other easy way. | 04:27 |
| GI_Jack | GTK3 can blow me, but we get firefox 4 which is pretty cool | 04:27 |
| rgoytacaz | Any had any luck with Nvidia Drivers for ubuntu 11.04? | 04:27 |
| xsinick | rgoytacaz: yes I have it all working | 04:27 |
| arand | thanos: Then hurry up and copy them to a safe backup ;) | 04:27 |
| rgoytacaz | xsinick: whats your card? | 04:27 |
| izinucs | rgoytacaz: sure.. but not the ones downloaded from nvidia.. the ones offered via ubuntu are up to date and work | 04:27 |
| checkers | izinucs: i am running dual monitors | 04:27 |
| mordof | rgoytacaz: it tells me that they're installed but inactive in the additional drivers, but my nvidia x server settings tool works | 04:28 |
| GI_Jack | I am running a GTX 480 in 11.04 | 04:28 |
| Herbs | <fruitwerks-web> I do | 04:28 |
| thanos | arand, sorry for my english i m greek | 04:28 |
| GI_Jack | so far its working | 04:28 |
| ncg | any help please ?!!! | 04:28 |
| ohsix | GI_Jack: does it? what sata controller? (btw, this would be udev's rules scripts and possibly kernel changes, only coincidentally ubuntu changes because it includes both) | 04:28 |
| Kage | ok, I am having major issues with Natty on this new laptop of mine. Its a HP-G42, anyone know of issues with this model? | 04:28 |
| izinucs | checkers: that might be part of the problem.. you have to go to settings before loading the VM and let it know you have 2 monitors.. otherwise you have issues | 04:28 |
| arand | thanos: No problem at all, I barely noticed :) | 04:28 |
| GI_Jack | ohsix: lemme check | 04:28 |
| xsinick | GeFOrce GTS 250 | 04:28 |
| freeman_ | i right clicked and it let me install rar package, lol that was easy | 04:28 |
| rgoytacaz | izinucs: mordof xsinick: I got a vostro 3300 with a 310M and its saying activate but not in use, can remove reports an error. | 04:28 |
| ohsix | GI_Jack: and gtk3 is just deprecation and cleanup of things, and they're rolling some libraries that were almost always used together into gtk where appropriate; otherwise it is unremarkable, same thing happened with gtk2 | 04:29 |
| xsinick | rgoy | 04:29 |
| mordof | rgoytacaz: saying the same thing to me.. and my desktop performance is sluggish, so i'm not sure what's happening with mine | 04:29 |
| ncg | ?? | 04:29 |
| izinucs | rgoytacaz: did you reboot? | 04:29 |
| xsinick | rgoytacaz: you have to restart | 04:29 |
| thanos | arand, i ll back up and i ll do clear install in ext4 | 04:29 |
| yuskhanzab | hello all. how to ping ubuntu server using terminal? | 04:29 |
| checkers | izinucs: I have done that. I mean my 2 monitor seamless was working in 10.10, but after the upgrade one display is missing in seamless and the other is incorrectly placed on the screen | 04:29 |
| somethinginteres | friend complaining that Unity is slow, how can use Unity 2D to make it faster? | 04:29 |
| rgoytacaz | izinucs: yea, it error'd out during installation i could check , looking at the install logs | 04:30 |

| ivzel | somebody can help me with this damned upgrade to natty? i can't upgrade it offline (of course, with alternate-CD) | 04:30 |
| xsinick | rgoytacaz: shit narwhal told me that seem crap all it means to say is restart to activate the drivers | 04:30 |
| izinucs | checkers: you using the vbox version from the repos or direct from vbox? | 04:30 |
| rgoytacaz | going to restart | 04:30 |
| rgoytacaz | brb | 04:30 |
| yuskhanzab | hello, any oneknow how to ping ubuntu server using terminal command? | 04:30 |
| izinucs | yuskhanzab: ping <server address> | 04:31 |
| ncg | hello, any help please ??? | 04:31 |
| usr13 | yuskhanzab: sure | 04:31 |
| GI_Jack | OK, my sata controller is a ATI technologies SB7x0 8x0,etc.... | 04:31 |
| freeman_ | yuskhanzab, do you know the address | 04:31 |

| fruitwerks-web | Herbs: ubuntu nfs server and windows client? I'm like minutes away from ditching gentoo, nfs in ubuntu has not been good at all, right now it will mount, let me see eveything, but I can't read some files and I can't write to any and nothing has changed config wise- I have rebooted the ubuntu machine and the windows machine... thought I had it working normally nd then I go take a shower and I can't do anything on the share | 04:31 |
| xsinick | feeling a bit better | 04:31 |
| fruitwerks-web | *ditching to gentoo | 04:31 |

| Kage | I guess Ill wait and see if it does anything <.< | 04:32 |
| yuskhanzab | what is ubuntu server address? | 04:32 |
| ivzel | anybody can help me? | 04:32 |
| Kage | maybe a first boot issue? | 04:32 |
| cdg | I don't know if I like this unity desktop | 04:32 |
| freeman_ | yuskhanzab, maybe try getting it from a different mirror | 04:32 |
| usr13 | yuskhanzab: Pinging it will not make it any faster. It is a traffic problem. | 04:32 |
| ohsix | fruitwerks-web: go :] | 04:32 |
| xsinick | fruitwerks-web: I heard good things about gentoo | 04:32 |
| izinucs | ivzel: just ask a question.. don't wait | 04:32 |
| Wickedspawn | Why is OSS4 not supported? It worked fine in 10.10, at least for me... | 04:32 |
| freeman_ | cdg, you need to customize it. try turning off auto hide on your dock. i seem to like that better | 04:32 |
| yuskhanzab | im uprgading using the upgrade manager | 04:32 |
| ivzel | izinucs: a can't upgrade to Natty from CD without internet. | 04:33 |
| usr13 | yuskhanzab: It's just going to be slow right now because this is right after 11.04 release. | 04:33 |
| yuskhanzab | this download start last night.. until now not been complete | 04:33 |
| fruitwerks-web | I used gentoo for like 10 years... and gave ubuntu a shot so I could spare this atom machine from the compiles... if anyone can fix the nfs issue, I'll probably keep using ubuntu | 04:33 |
| izinucs | ivzel: with the alternate cd you should be able to. | 04:33 |
| ohsix | Wickedspawn: OSS4 is a junk, that's why | 04:33 |
| freeman_ | yuskhanzab, i left mine on while i went to class and it was done when i got back (2 or so hours) | 04:33 |
| xsinick | Devs better send an update soon else this going down as the sh**test Linux distro for 2011 | 04:34 |
| fruitwerks-web | OSS is crap - always has been | 04:34 |
| ohsix | Wickedspawn: (i lie, that's probably not why, but you'd rather fix what works right and is free) | 04:34 |
| GI_Jack | I don't like this new scroll tab thingy either, how do I get rid of it | 04:34 |
| usr13 | fruitwerks-web: What is wrong with your nfs shares? | 04:34 |
| ivzel | izinucs: i use alternate-cd. but it anyway wants internet. may be something with my config? | 04:34 |
| ohsix | GI_Jack: if you find out let me know, it was clunky when first installed but it got better much faster | 04:34 |
| cdg | freeman_: how do you turn off auto-hide? | 04:34 |
| ACameron | anybody else had issues with the monodoc-base package during the upgrade, yet? | 04:34 |
| izinucs | ivzel: no idea.. sorry | 04:34 |
| freeman_ | cdg, install compiz manager | 04:34 |
| ohsix | GI_Jack: it's overlay-scrollbar, i don't think you can remove the package, but there's a conf file you can turn it off or something i'm sure | 04:35 |
| yuskhanzab | ive been download last night(16 hours now) also not been complete yet =.= | 04:35 |
| gogeta | death to unity | 04:35 |
| gogeta | lol | 04:35 |
| ivzel | izinucs: thanks! | 04:35 |
| fruitwerks-web | usr13: other than having to reboot my ubuntu server every3-7 days because nfs stops working and restarting the service does not help, right now I can't do anything but get a directory listing | 04:35 |
| ACameron | it looks like there are a bunch of bugs about it in Launchpad | 04:35 |
| stbain1 | OK, I almost have my desktop restored.... seems to be hung on the "Restoring previously installed packages" part | 04:35 |
| izinucs | ivzel: your welcom | 04:35 |
| Wickedspawn | ohsix: It isn't crap. Deadbeef + OSS4 + Foobar2000's home theater eq setting makes my sound system sound way better than Alsa does. | 04:35 |
| yuskhanzab | it say's about 2 days more to complete | 04:35 |
| stbain1 | Anyone know if I can kill that restoration process? | 04:35 |
| freeman_ | cdg, in terminal type ccsm and it should tell you how to install | 04:35 |
| hanasaki | any reason why a maverick based "do-release-upgrade" would say no new release found? | 04:35 |
| yuskhanzab | is it save if i cancel the upgrading proses? | 04:36 |
| freeman_ | cdg, i am still trying to get it to dock on the bottom... the setting is there but it fails to show up | 04:36 |
| xsinick | gonna go back to unity and see If I can force my self to be a 20 year old I pad user the twitters | 04:36 |
| ohsix | Wickedspawn: i hesitate to say you are full of crap, but you are certainly deluding yourself; and i bet you haven't even objectively measured, you just think your statement is well supported | 04:36 |
| xsinick | that* | 04:36 |
| usr13 | fruitwerks-web: paste your /etc/exports file and the /etc/fstab file on the client and let's have a look. | 04:36 |
| checkers | izinucs: from virtualbox themselves | 04:36 |
| mickster04 | hanasaki: you have it set to lts only | 04:37 |
| yuskhanzab | is it safe if i cancel the upgrading proses? | 04:37 |
| freeman_ | cdg, thanks to ohsix for helping me get this originally :) | 04:37 |
| hanasaki | mickster04: where do I cahnge that | 04:37 |
| freeman_ | credit where credit is due | 04:37 |
| pomke | Hello, I am running natty and have installed gnome3 from ppa, I'm confused about how to change my gtk/wm theme, I've tried the regular tool (right click nautilus desktop > change desktop background > theme tab) but this has no effect. I've then installed gnome-tweak-tool but it only shows one theme 'raleigh' even though I have installed more themes with apt | 04:37 |
| fruitwerks-web | usr13: client is windows, worked great in xp, and just as good in 7, I have had the same configs for years | 04:37 |
| Wickedspawn | ohsix: I've used Alsa with the same sound system for ~1.5 years. After I went through the process of switching to OSS4, I did notice a great improvement. Just because OSS3 was crap doesn't mean all of it is crap... "One person's garbage is another person's treasure." | 04:38 |
| ohsix | pomke: you'll have to talk to whoever supports those packages, ubuntu proper doesn't | 04:38 |
| izinucs | pomke: it's done on the login page.. click your user name and look at the bar at the bottom that appears.. that's where you change the wM | 04:38 |
| yuskhanzab | freeman_, is it safe to cancel the upgrading proses? | 04:38 |
| Robert__ | hey im new to ubuntu any one want to help? | 04:38 |
| Kage | When I boot natty I get a blank screen, I think I have ruled out a X server issue, but maybe not | 04:38 |
| pomke | izinucs: Thank you :) | 04:38 |
| topramen | hey i have a 11.04 question | 04:38 |
| izinucs | Robert__: just ask a question.. if someone knows the answer they will | 04:38 |
| mickster04 | hanasaki: go to synaptic>settings | 04:39 |
| kellnola | topramen, I have an answer | 04:39 |
| hanasaki | mickster04: it's a server.. no gui.. I did find it in the etc dir.. thanks | 04:39 |
| ohsix | Wickedspawn: did you measure a great improvement? you are making a statement common to fans of OSS(4) and it's never supported by more than a gut feeling, there are ways to measure things however | 04:39 |
| freeman_ | yuskhanzab, i dont think so... are you updating the kernel? | 04:39 |
| topramen | kellnola, yay | 04:39 |
| hanasaki | mickster04: what does no candidate for.... mean? | 04:39 |
| kellnola | topramen, "I don't know" :) | 04:39 |
| stbain1 | upgrade hung... safe to kill the apt-clone restore-new-distro part of ubiquity to see if that frees it up? | 04:39 |
| yuskhanzab | no, im upgrade my ubuntu version to naty from maverick | 04:39 |
| freeman_ | stbain1, dont kill it yet, mine took a while to update | 04:40 |
| ohsix | Wickedspawn: it's interesting you went out of your way to mention oss3 too, very interesting | 04:40 |
| mickster04 | hanasaki: 0.o no idea, where do you see that? | 04:40 |
| Robert__ | ok how do i find out what version i am running because i tried to install 11.04 but idk if it worked | 04:40 |
| kellnola | what is ubuntu going to do after zany zebra? | 04:40 |
| stbain1 | freeman_, how long? Mine's been hung for about 15 minutes now if not longer. | 04:40 |
| ouyes | what happened when you suspend your laptop? | 04:40 |
| yuskhanzab | the download process to about 2 days to complete | 04:40 |
| freeman_ | stbain1, i was playing call of duty for about 2 maps and it was still updating | 04:40 |
| topramen | kellnola, do i have to still go through terminal to install programs? | 04:40 |
| stbain1 | freeman_, wow... that long, eh? | 04:40 |
| Wickedspawn | ohsix: I'm just wondering why the warning was placed on the Wiki. Used to be that you could use any setup you want with it. I didn't expect being flamed for liking it. | 04:40 |
| Scarra3 | I don't know if I should go with the x64 or the x86 version of ubuntu | 04:40 |
| ohsix | kellnola: make something up! you saw the early release names right? they weren't always alphabetical, it was just a fun thing to do | 04:40 |
| freeman_ | stbain1, search and destroy not tdm | 04:40 |
| yuskhanzab | 10kb per sec | 04:40 |
| kellnola | topramen, no ... I assume it still has synaptic or ubuntu software center | 04:40 |
| lumbert | Is it possible to have ubuntu 11.04 64bit and 32bit and gparted all on one usb stick? | 04:41 |
| ohsix | Wickedspawn: since you've stated you merely like it, i apologize, as long as it's not presented as fact | 04:41 |
| freeman_ | stbain1, sorry not update, it was fresh install | 04:41 |
| ACameron | hey gang, I'm doing the update through the X gui; where do I grep for errors? | 04:41 |
| ACameron | would it be on dmesg..? | 04:41 |
| octillion | Robert__ in a terminal, lsb_release -a | 04:41 |
| usr13 | fruitwerks-web: How about samba? | 04:41 |
| fruitwerks-web | I was waiting for that | 04:41 |
| yuskhanzab | freeman_, im upgrading the ubuntu version to natty | 04:41 |
| ohsix | Wickedspawn: but it is definitely contraindicated, if there is a problem with alsa or one of the drivers it will need to be fixed anyways; people in general aren't going to switch over to oss4 even assuming it was bug free and always better than alsa | 04:41 |
| usr13 | !samba | fruitwerks-web | 04:42 |
| ubottu | fruitwerks-web: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 04:42 |
| ohsix | Wickedspawn: alsa is in tree and supported by free software developers interested in fixing bugs they know about, and quite quickly i might add | 04:42 |
| freeman_ | yuskhanzab, if you backed up your information im sure its ok to cancel. if not give it a few more minutes | 04:42 |
| Robert__ | ok it says im still on 10.04 so how do i get 11.04 because i tryed to get it from the site and it didnt work | 04:43 |
| freeman_ | Robert__, if you were on the new version you would know it :P | 04:43 |
| Jordan_U | !upgrade | Robert__ | 04:43 |
| ubottu | Robert__: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 04:43 |
| xsinick | freeman_: got your graphics card to work | 04:43 |
| xsinick | ? | 04:43 |
| ohsix | Wickedspawn: it's really no different though, you were on your own before when you used it, now you're just a little bit more on your own | 04:43 |
| yuskhanzab | freeman_, its not a few minute to complete, it about 2 days.(10kbps) | 04:43 |
| izinucs | Robert__: 10.04 is an LTS release .. 11.04 isn't .. you can't upgrade directly unless you reinstall.. if you choose to reinstall then I hope you have a separate /home partiton with all your data so it will be safe.. | 04:44 |
| freeman_ | xsinick, yes i am pretty sure. i have the nvidia control panel up and it recognizes my card | 04:44 |
| xsinick | freeman_: nice | 04:44 |
| freeman_ | yuskhanzab, sorry im out of answers.. try asking it again and see if you get any nibbles | 04:44 |
| Jordan_U | Robert__: While izinucs is correct that you can't upgrade directly from 10.04 to 11.04 you can upgrade to 10.10 then to 11.04. | 04:44 |
| ACameron | I'll be doing another report this term and it's not even an official co-op term | 04:44 |
| ACameron | done six already | 04:45 |
| ACameron | mischan; sorry =X | 04:45 |
| yuskhanzab | lol, thanks anyway | 04:45 |
| freeman_ | xsinick, do you remember the command to check.. you grep some file | 04:45 |
| kellnola | Jordan_U, well in this case it may be better to just blow it away with the cd. | 04:45 |
| fezzik02 | km0201: Reinstalled GRUB2, still no boot | 04:45 |
| kellnola | Jordan_U, I dist-upgraded since feisty all the way to lucid and I missed all kinds of new crap | 04:45 |
| xsinick | freeman_: nope I'm no super user | 04:46 |
| KM0201 | fezzik02: i dunno man... | 04:46 |
| Jordan_U | fezzik02: What happens when you try to boot? How did you try to re-install grub? | 04:46 |
| kellnola | Jordan_U, and then with 10.10 I'm like, what is all this upstart crap? | 04:46 |
| freeman_ | xsinick, the true test will be if my computer games will run like they did in gnome | 04:46 |
| fezzik02 | But to be explicit, it starts the kernel, it just fails to start x | 04:46 |
| fruitwerks-web | I'm gonna be cool about this.. I refrained from posting a nice long line that would have had me perma-banned, something is wrong with nfs on ubuntu, look around, you will find posts going back to 2007 with these issues, I'm going back to gentoo so my stuff will work and I don't have to reboot to fix something | 04:46 |
| kellnola | fruitwerks-web, nfs3 or 4? | 04:46 |
| usr13 | fezzik02: So what screen are you left with? | 04:47 |
| xsinick | freeman_: you got dual screens? | 04:47 |
| fezzik02 | jordan_u: I did judt reinstall grub, I think it is having issues with X | 04:47 |
| kellnola | I never had probs with nfs3 against solaris or RHEL | 04:47 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: The blank screen after GRUB2 selection | 04:47 |
| izinucs | fruitwerks-web: sudo service smbd restart .. sudo service nmbd restart should do it. | 04:47 |
| KM0201 | fezzik02: so how the heck is it starting your kernel, and grub not working? | 04:47 |
| freeman_ | xsinick, no but i have one stored somewhere. i was thinking of getting it out but im lazy | 04:47 |
| ohsix | fruitwerks-web: can you elaborate? | 04:47 |
| xsinick | ANYONE got dual screens? | 04:47 |
| KM0201 | fezzik02: so the grub install went fine, you have some other issue. | 04:47 |
| freeman_ | maybe after finals | 04:47 |
| Icallitvera | where can i as questions about the KGpg plugin, mine is not working | 04:47 |
| fezzik02 | km0201: I didn't say GRUB2 isn't working, it takes me to the Recovery Console just fine. | 04:47 |
| KM0201 | xsinick: i do. | 04:47 |
| usr13 | fezzik02: Are you sure it's booting? How do you know? | 04:47 |
| Jordan_U | !anyone | xsinick | 04:47 |
| ubottu | xsinick: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 04:47 |
| izinucs | xsinick: yes.. but not on natty yet.. | 04:47 |
| ohsix | fruitwerks-web: do you mean nfs or cifs or something, people have been giving you suggestions for samba | 04:47 |
| fruitwerks-web | .. my pont I didn't post, those are cifs services | 04:47 |
| KM0201 | .. | 04:47 |
| stbain1 | crap... still no wirelesws | 04:47 |
| fruitwerks-web | enjoy your new release all... I'm *GONE* | 04:48 |
| KM0201 | stbain1: whats your device? | 04:48 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: I'm not sure, but the Recovery Console option works (2nd line in the GRUB2 Menu) | 04:48 |
| usr13 | stbain1: What is your wifi device? | 04:48 |
| stbain1 | broadcom 4311 (STA) | 04:48 |
| usr13 | fezzik02: When you do the normal boot, what does it do? | 04:48 |
| xsinick | KM0201: can you test blender windowed on Natty? | 04:48 |
| gogeta | Icallitvera: kubuntu | 04:48 |
| teddyroosebelt | ya broadcom firm is broke on 11.4 | 04:48 |
| histo | stbain1: you need the firmware for that card. In the hardware drivers app | 04:49 |
| ohsix | stbain1: you are the second person today having trouble with the 4311, did it freeze your computer when you weren't using the sta driver? | 04:49 |
| kellnola | ohsix, why would anyone use samba in a unix environment if windows is not involved? | 04:49 |
| lumbert | Is it possible to have ubuntu 11.04 64bit and 32bit and gparted all on one usb stick? I have 11.04 on the stick now, but I'd like to have access to all three on one stick. | 04:49 |
| xsinick | Natty is pissing me off | 04:49 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: Screen goes black, hard disk activity for a little bit, then eventually drops signal to monitor and disregards numlock press | 04:49 |
| histo | xsinick: switch to classic console | 04:49 |
| ohsix | kellnola: well he said nfs, which is a real thing; i didn't see him mention anything else | 04:49 |
| ohsix | kellnola: i asked him to elaborate, i could have probably told him what it wasD: | 04:49 |
| xsinick | histo: ha hah hah | 04:49 |
| ChronicSyncope | does anyone know how to make 'normal' window size in compiz not suck | 04:49 |
| stbain1 | histo, I have the firmware installed... still doesn't work | 04:49 |
| usr13 | fezzik02: What happens when you do Ctrl-Alt-F6 ? | 04:49 |
| nit-wit | lumbert, how are they loaded is it ISO's | 04:50 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: no response | 04:50 |
| stbain1 | ohsix, I freezed when I did the update through the udpate manager | 04:50 |
| ohsix | lumbert: yes it is | 04:50 |
| izinucs | lumbert: yes.. I think unetbootin will do that.. it's in the repos | 04:50 |
| lumbert | not sure about parted magic, but ubuntu 11.04 64/32 are downloaded as such | 04:50 |
| ohsix | stbain1: after you installed natty but before you installed sta? | 04:50 |
| usr13 | fezzik02: So you can boot recovery mode....? | 04:50 |
| stbain1 | ohsix, the install never finished | 04:50 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: yes | 04:50 |
| nit-wit | lumbert, pendrive has a linux multiloader | 04:50 |
| stbain1 | ohsix, ended up with black screen... no response, not way to get to console via CTRL+ALT+F1... nada :( | 04:51 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: and oddly, if I press the hard power button for a second, it starts shutting down. | 04:51 |
| ohsix | stbain1: oh i thought you were having a problem with your wifi, that's while you're trying to install then, no? | 04:51 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: is it because I'm running hybrid SLI? | 04:51 |
| Nate_ | I need help; Natty broke my computer, it won't even start up! | 04:51 |
| stbain1 | ohsix, yes.... so then I just slapped in the Natty CD and formatted everything... now Wifi doesn't work even with a fresh install | 04:51 |
| fezzik02 | nate_: you and me, buddy. | 04:52 |
| nit-wit | Nate_, upgarde or install | 04:52 |
| usr13 | stbain1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff | 04:52 |
| stbain1 | usr13, already did that :( | 04:52 |
| greylurk | Having issues with the Natty installer. | 04:52 |
| xsinick | :( waaaaaaaaaaah | 04:52 |
| greylurk | It keeps saying I have too many primary partitions on my disc | 04:52 |
| teddyroosebelt | its just broke thats all there is to it. b43 drivers is dead as a door nail | 04:52 |
| Nate_ | I did upgrade from 10.10. I restarted, and it said Unity wasn't supported, so I went with GNOME. Then I restarted again and now it won't start up. | 04:52 |
| ohsix | stbain1: you need firmware if you are using the driver that comes with linux, there is a script in the b43-fwcutter package that does that for you; or you can try installing bcmwl-kernel-source, which is the vendor driver | 04:52 |
| nit-wit | greylurk, how many do you have? | 04:53 |
| MrBushido | can i get 11.04 through an apt dist-upgrade or do I need to start from scratch? | 04:53 |
| ohsix | teddyroosebelt: it still works for me | 04:53 |
| greylurk | nit-wit 4 primary, 1 extended | 04:53 |
| stbain1 | ohsix, the hardware->additional drivers did all that | 04:53 |
| ohsix | greylurk: you have too many primary partitions on your drive | 04:53 |
| teddyroosebelt | ohsix, lucky you. | 04:53 |
| nit-wit | greylurk, the limit is 3 primary and 1 ext | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | greylurk: One of the 4 primary partitions needs to be used for an extended partition. | 04:53 |
| ohsix | stbain1: ok, i never used thata; and it works for me, dunno what to say | 04:53 |
| greylurk | nit-wit when did that change? | 04:53 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| audhi | ohsix, how to change icons in ubuntu? | 04:53 |
| ohsix | stbain1: dmesg should say if the driver is finding its firmware | 04:53 |
| nit-wit | greylurk, always has been | 04:53 |
| greylurk | jordan_u that's how it's set up | 04:53 |
| greylurk | /dev/sda1-3 are used as primary | 04:54 |
| ohsix | teddyroosebelt: luck is a figment of peoples imagination and want for lovely coincidence | 04:54 |
| greylurk | /dev/sda4 hosts the extended, which is /dev/sda5 | 04:54 |
| audhi | please say soon ohsix. | 04:54 |
| rhizmoe | i'm still a bit flabbergasted that traceroute isn't installed by default | 04:54 |
| Jordan_U | greylurk: That's fine. | 04:54 |
| teddyroosebelt | ohsix, giggity. | 04:54 |
| xsinick | IM s don't popup like inthe ubuntu video | 04:54 |
| xsinick | it was a lie | 04:54 |
| ohsix | audhi: no clue, i just hit customize in the appearance applet | 04:54 |
| ohsix | xsinick: do you even use empathy? | 04:54 |
| Jordan_U | xsinick: They do for me with empathy. | 04:55 |
| xsinick | it comes with ubuntu | 04:55 |
| fezzik02 | Is there some sort of log that I can review to see how the startup process failed? | 04:55 |
| ohsix | it sure does | 04:55 |
| ohsix | i was getting to what Jordan_U said already ... | 04:55 |
| diaoer | why i cant use fetch? | 04:55 |
| xsinick | not like in the video on the front of the ubuntu site | 04:55 |
| Jordan_U | xsinick: And for irssi, but that's a script I needed to add manually. | 04:55 |
| Nate_ | Is there a way to start up my computer from Command Line? I can get there... | 04:55 |
| Robert__ | im upgrading but what does this mean: Error mounting: mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only | 04:55 |

| hanasaki | how do you ad the gnome sensor applet to the panel? | 04:55 |

| RexAlters | As I have just found some old music that I wish to get the music track info automatically. | 04:56 |
| ohsix | xsinick: or rather what video are you talking about at all, i don't see any video on the front page | 04:57 |
| RexAlters | Without having to enter everything manually. | 04:57 |
| nit-wit | Nate_, are getting a grub prompt ...grub> or a grub menu then black | 04:57 |
| nit-wit | *you | 04:57 |
| RexAlters | Like how wmp gets the track information automatically. | 04:57 |
| audhi | Nate_, are you here? | 04:57 |
| ohsix | RexAlters: well ubuntu doesn't do it, but there are some programs that you can install on ubuntu that does; like musicbrainz picard | 04:57 |
| Macer | hm | 04:57 |
| xsinick | becuase they moved it like aday befor this crap came out | 04:57 |
| xsinick | on sec | 04:57 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: Ok, I can get root shell in Recovery Console, is there a log of some sort I ought t review? | 04:57 |
| xsinick | I'll get it | 04:57 |
| Nate_ | Upgrade. I have to hit escape to get to the CLI...just the normal CLI, doesn't say grub | 04:57 |
| ohsix | xsinick: thank you | 04:57 |
| Macer | i can't seem to find any information on this :( does anybody know how i can set up a user acct where it will use an nfs as its default home but if the nfs is down it can fall back on a local directory? | 04:58 |
| RexAlters | Thank you.;) | 04:58 |
| Jordan_U | Nate_: What is the prompt that you see? | 04:58 |
| RexAlters | :) | 04:58 |
| jiltdil | my max,miz button is missing in ubuntu 11.04 how to get it back? | 04:58 |
| nit-wit | Nate_, what is the graphics card | 04:58 |
| usr13 | fezzik02: Ok tell me again what led up to this failure? Did the upgrade get inerrupted? | 04:58 |
| fezzik02 | I had 10.10 and Win 7 | 04:58 |
| Nate_ | golly, I dont know, but that may be the issue. When I first started it it didnt recognize and forced me to go to gnome | 04:58 |
| usr13 | fezzik02: And..... what happened? | 04:58 |
| fezzik02 | Then I formatted and installed 11.04 alpah1 | 04:58 |
| rumpe1 | Macer, well... you just have to script, that if nfs is available, it should be mounted on top of /home/user | 04:59 |
| Nate_ | I think its a NVIDIA?? | 04:59 |
| ohsix | Macer: well how do you know nfs is down? the kernel tries its best to get it to act like a regular filesystem, and that means possibly waiting a very long time if the server isn't reachable | 04:59 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: | 04:59 |
| fezzik02 | usr:13 Then I formatted and installed 11.04 alpah1 | 04:59 |
| Macer | ohsix: you can change those settings in fstab | 04:59 |
| usr13 | fezzik02: Yes.... and then? | 04:59 |
| Macer | the timeout and retrans | 04:59 |
| audhi | Nate_, haw to change icons in ubuntu? | 04:59 |
| nit-wit | Nate_, can you login at the cli, do you ever see a grub menu? | 04:59 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: That didn't work any better than this one, so I waited for 11.04 beta 2, still no joy | 04:59 |
| Macer | i want it to fall back to a different directory if the nfs hits its retrans mark | 05:00 |
| stbain1 | ohsix, trying the raw ndiswrapper instead of the source | 05:00 |
| Macer | i don't even know if that is possible tho. i've been looking on google but don't see anything that relates | 05:00 |
| ohsix | Macer: you still can't really ask "is nfs up?" that's the basic question you need in order to find some software that can do what you want if it's there or not there | 05:00 |
| Nate_ | What is the grub menu exactly? Command line looking thing with a purple background? | 05:00 |
| ChronicSyncope | window resize 'normal' sucks... how do i fix it? | 05:00 |
| ohsix | stbain1: raw??? never use ndiswrapper if you can help it; argh | 05:00 |
| tanath | so, if i upgrade to natty my desktop icons will be gone, yes? | 05:00 |
| jiltdil | min,max button is missing from ubuntu 11.04,how to get it back? | 05:00 |
| xsinick | i can't find them on the site | 05:01 |
| xsinick | they hide them | 05:01 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: then I waited for 11.04 final... and that's it | 05:01 |
| ChronicSyncope | tanath, if you're not using classic probably | 05:01 |
| stbain1 | ohsix, I know. sucks, but the "canned" version isn't working... worth a shot | 05:01 |
| xsinick | wooooow | 05:01 |
| xsinick | wow | 05:01 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: no dice | 05:01 |
| tanath | ChronicSyncope, classic? | 05:01 |
| nit-wit | Nate_, you have upgraded and you don't know what a grub menu looks like? | 05:01 |
| Macer | ohsix: i don't understand. it is a pretty straightforward question. if i have user home directories on an nfs and the nfs hits its time/retrans limits is there a way to get the server to fallback to a local directory | 05:01 |
| earthen | hi guys i'm getting an error stating that i need to upgrade the NVIDIA kernel module has version 270.41.06 | 05:01 |
| ohsix | Macer: it's possible, but you have to decide what it would be, you probably want to copy/cache/sync files from nfs before log on, not try and use nfs and fallback | 05:01 |
| earthen | how do i do that | 05:01 |
| ChronicSyncope | tanath, you can choose "classic gnome" when you log in and it looks just like 10.04 | 05:01 |
| ChronicSyncope | tanath, or 10.10 even | 05:01 |
| audhi | #ubuntu+1 | 05:01 |
| ohsix | Macer: no, it's not a simple question, as there is no fallback mechanism and you can't check if nfs is up or not | 05:01 |
| tanath | ChronicSyncope, ah, right. so then if not, how would i get at my desktop icons? | 05:01 |
| rumpe1 | Macer, sure it's possible ... write a scripte like " loop ( if nfs available : mount on top of /home/nfsuser ; if nfs unavailable : unmount it)" ... or something like that | 05:02 |
| ohsix | stbain1: bcmwl-kernel-source works for me | 05:02 |
| ChronicSyncope | tanath navigate to ~/Desktop either in the terminal or nautilus | 05:02 |
| Nate_ | OK, i gimaged it...I do know what it is! | 05:02 |
| usr13 | fezzik02: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 05:02 |
| Nate_ | And no, I can't get there. | 05:02 |
| ohsix | Macer: what happens when nfs comes back when you're using the local directory? what happens when it goes away when you are logged on? | 05:02 |
| stbain1 | ohsix, yah.... no clue why mine isn't | 05:02 |
| audhi | #ubuntu+1 | 05:02 |
| greylurk | Gah, come on. I set up this partition structure when I installed 10.10... What is the problem. | 05:02 |
| ohsix | Macer: what you really want to do is cache offline; and lots of people have done that | 05:02 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: from Recovery Console root terminal? | 05:02 |
| stbain1 | ohsix, but looks like ndiswrapper just saved the day | 05:02 |
| nit-wit | Nate_, can you login at the cli and run starx | 05:02 |
| tanath | ChronicSyncope, how would you convert them to something as quick & easy to access as they were before? i've put people on ubuntu who put everything on the desktop... | 05:03 |
| nit-wit | Nate_, startx | 05:03 |
| Macer | ohsix: i was just going to set up a cron script to sync the directories every 6 hours or so | 05:03 |
| jiltdil | #ubuntu+1 is invite only means?/ | 05:03 |
| arand | jiltdil: Closed. | 05:03 |
| usr13 | fezzik02: Oh, you don't have internet connection... | 05:03 |
| ChronicSyncope | tanath, i'm not sure, I don't really like unity all that much. It probably has some kind of stacks on the dock though that you could throw them into (I really dont know) | 05:03 |
| ohsix | Macer: well you can buffet that with pam login/log out scripts that update the cache too, or not even have periodic syncs | 05:03 |
| arand | jiltdil: Won't open until next cycle starts up | 05:03 |
| earthen | i'm getting an API mismatch error: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 270.41.03, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 270.41.06. | 05:03 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: maybe I could, natty has been very good with my wifi card i the livecd | 05:03 |
| earthen | how to fix | 05:03 |
| ohsix | Macer: there are fuse filesystems that can do caching for you, but they likely wouldn't be enough for your circumstance | 05:04 |
| jiltdil | arnad: will you help me my 11.04 min,max button also the applet that is in left side is missing | 05:04 |
| === Hunterm_ is now known as Hunterm | ||
| Macer | and being that it will be a fallback home dir and not the actual home dir...i think a fallback would be better.. especially considering size constraints.. i want the fallback dir to just maintain a small amount of information in order to get a user logged in instead of being hung at logging in | 05:04 |
| tanath | ChronicSyncope, does 'classic' use gnome 3? | 05:04 |
| Robert__ | well it hasn't stoped upgradeing tho | 05:04 |
| Nate_ | I'm trying to get back to command line...it's a chancy thing... | 05:04 |
| arand | jiltdil: I don't know I'm afraid. | 05:04 |
| Macer | maybe even display a different motd explaining what is wrong.. but config files would be good to keep in teh fallback driectory | 05:05 |
| ohsix | Macer: so you want them to be able to log in but not have any of their information or store any changes they make back at the real server? | 05:05 |
| xsinick | ohsix: like in the video this guy was all talking calmly about how cool ubuntu was and he say now I'm pop up fom the bottom of the screen so you can typr to people on the fly or continue workinf | 05:05 |
| xsinick | working* | 05:05 |
| ohsix | Macer: you could just log them on with a guest session if nfs isn't available | 05:05 |
| Macer | ohsix: that is a start | 05:05 |
| xsinick | I don't see that shit yet | 05:05 |
| Macer | at the least i want the fallback dir to keep their config files from their nfs home dir | 05:05 |
| ohsix | xsinick: family channel ... | 05:05 |
| Macer | like .alpine .ssh etc | 05:05 |
| tanath | i'm used to upgrading like a month before release. this is the first time i actually don't really want to upgrade | 05:05 |
| arand | xsinick: That's in gnome3... | 05:06 |
| digirak | upgrading to natty narwhal does not alter my user data does it? | 05:06 |
| Macer | something that can get them on the system without having it hang and possibly change the motd explaining what is wrong | 05:06 |
| xsinick | oops | 05:06 |
| greylurk | *grump* finally got it working by doing a "custom" install, and reformatting my 10.10 install. | 05:06 |
| Robert__ | also something is weird with my work spaces i remember when i first got Ubuntu i could move a window from one workspace to another and now i cant | 05:06 |
| ohsix | Macer: the . files in the home directories can be arbitrarily large; sounds like the problem you actually want to solve is ill defined | 05:06 |
| xsinick | lol | 05:06 |
| ChronicSyncope | tanath, let me check | 05:06 |
| * jiltdil i think it is better to be stick to 10.10 for some more days | 05:06 | |
| johnqq | hello, why doesnt gnome shell work when i install in natty, it says error has accured and restarts to logon screen | 05:06 |
| ChronicSyncope | tanath, nope 2.31 | 05:06 |
| Macer | the actual home dirs will be much larger than .files | 05:06 |
| Macer | and dirs | 05:06 |
| ChronicSyncope | tanath, nope 2.32.1 ** | 05:06 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: Tried startx at the # prompt, whole thing locked up | 05:06 |
| Macer | but thanks for the help. i will continue looking | 05:06 |
| ohsix | Macer: in any situation i've seen, if the files aren't available then work can't be done anyways, so they just aren't allowed to log in, you want some sort of middle ground that still allows them to log in? | 05:07 |
| Macer | ohsix: yes | 05:07 |
| audhi | can anyone clear my doubt. please! | 05:07 |
| tanath | ChronicSyncope, hm, thx | 05:07 |
| ChronicSyncope | tanath, you can install it from the repos though, i believe | 05:07 |
| audhi | can anyone clear my doubt. please! | 05:07 |
| ChronicSyncope | tanath, but it doesn't work with unity AFAIK | 05:07 |
| Macer | i don't want the login to ever stop due to the nfs being down | 05:07 |
| audhi | can anyone clear my doubt. please! | 05:08 |
| ohsix | Macer: once there are local changes what will you do? if nfs was down for 6 hours the changes might be against files from 6 hours or earlier ago, if they're applied to current files they'd have a nonlinear history that would possibly cause data loss that people would not realize | 05:08 |
| earthen | i'm getting an API mismatch error: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 270.41.03, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 270.41.06. So do i need to upgrade the Kerne or downgrade my Nvidea driver please help | 05:08 |
| tanath | ChronicSyncope, there's a number of things i'm concerned about losing on upgrade that will basically cripple me | 05:08 |
| xsinick | so are we not running gnome 3? | 05:08 |
| ohsix | Macer: then you should probably find a way for nfs never to be down :O | 05:08 |
| rumpe1 | digirak, usually not | 05:08 |
| audhi | im leaving no one is answering | 05:08 |
| ChronicSyncope | tanath, you might find it worthwhile to wait then... | 05:08 |
| Jordan_U | Macer: What good do you expect this to do for the users? | 05:08 |
| ohsix | tanath: what's that? | 05:08 |
| ChronicSyncope | tanath, I've been spending the last few hours fixing compiz, lol. | 05:08 |
| jubei | howdy. Just booted into ubuntu 11.4 aand.. compiz effects are disabled. Trying to eanble the nvidia driver but doesn't seem to be a way | 05:09 |
| LAcan | does anyone know the repo for backtrack? | 05:09 |
| jubei | ChronicSyncope, I'm also trying to get compiz to work | 05:09 |
| Jordan_U | !backtrack | LAcan | 05:09 |
| ubottu | LAcan: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 05:09 |
| ohsix | tanath: i can try and fill you in if you can give me some things | 05:09 |
| Macer | Jordan_U: they can still access other servers from the box... but if their home dir goes down i want them to be able to still be able to login to a... trying to think of a proper word | 05:09 |
| ChronicSyncope | jubei, I have compiz working. are you in classic or unity? | 05:09 |
| Macer | contingency directory? | 05:09 |
| jubei | ChronicSyncope, unity | 05:09 |
| Jordan_U | LAcan: And we don't support using backtrack repositories with Ubuntu either. | 05:09 |
| * topramen feels happy | 05:09 | |
| xsinick | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lepXx1kDelo&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gnome3.org%2F&feature=player_embedded | 05:09 |
| ohsix | Macer: then have them connect using a guest account, it is easy to do that even | 05:09 |
| xsinick | how do I get that? | 05:09 |
| jubei | ChronicSyncope, when I select additional hardware drivers it shows me that the nvidia driver isn't enabled but also has no way for me to enable it | 05:10 |
| tanath | ohsix, well, from youtube vids there's shortcuts that get stolen away from things i use, like compz scale... | 05:10 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: oddly, failsafex works from the Recovery Console window. | 05:10 |
| Macer | ohsix: but there are greater options having a fallback directory | 05:10 |
| greylurk | I like that the installer gives you stuff to do while waiting for the files to copy. | 05:10 |
| ohsix | Macer: guest accounts create temporary directories & people log in, their changes are obliterated when they log out | 05:10 |
| tanath | ohsix, i was also thinking of gnome applets like system monitor being removed but i think that might just be gnome 3 | 05:10 |
| Macer | say they DO write files there.. once the nfs is back up they login and can copy them over themselves | 05:10 |
| tanath | ohsix, also, desktop icons | 05:10 |
| greylurk | Thanks Ubuntu. | 05:10 |
| === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| ohsix | Macer: there are also larger unfixable problems, like the nonlinear file history | 05:10 |
| Macer | ohsix: that is what i am trying to avoid | 05:10 |
| ChronicSyncope | jubei, does it say "activated but not in use" or is the little circle red? | 05:10 |
| tanath | ohsix, though that's more important for others i've put on ubuntu | 05:10 |
| jubei | ChronicSyncope, yes | 05:10 |
| tanath | ChronicSyncope, yikes. i use compiz heavily | 05:10 |
| jubei | ChronicSyncope, sec | 05:10 |
| ohsix | tanath: ah; allow me to allay those fears, even with gnome-shell nautilus and the panel will still be available, as they are now with unity | 05:10 |
| xsinick | how do I get this coolness? : | 05:11 |
| Macer | ohsix: isn't time always linear? | 05:11 |

| Macer | :) | 05:11 |
| jasonmchristos | when setting a password for a .zip file does it use encryption (if so what type) or does it just use a basic password access restriction? | 05:11 |
| Macer | i thought ntpd fixed linear problems | 05:11 |
| ohsix | Macer: not if you modified a file from 6 hours ago, but you save it over one that has been changed outside of the cached copy | 05:11 |
| ChronicSyncope | jubei, activated but not in use? that means it's working. but if the light is red, it's not working. I don't know how to solve the not-working problem myself, but i'm sure somebody here has some ideas | 05:11 |
| jubei | ChronicSyncope, says "This driver is activated but not currently in use", and the circle is green | 05:11 |
| tanath | ohsix, also i use things like nautilus-elementary... not sure if that'll break | 05:11 |
| ChronicSyncope | jubei, thats how mine looks, and compiz is working for me. | 05:11 |
| ohsix | Macer: the problem is offering older copies to the client | 05:11 |
| jubei | ChronicSyncope, but I don't get my old effects. | 05:11 |
| xsinick | that looks like fedora to me | 05:11 |
| newmar | my touchpad doesnt work the scroll when i upgrade how can i fix it | 05:12 |
| Jordan_U | xsinick: Ubuntu doesn't use gnome-shell or gnome3's notification system by default. If you want an experience like that video you need to install GNOME3. | 05:12 |
| jubei | ChronicSyncope, and under "Appearance" there's no option to enable effects | 05:12 |
| rhizmoe | jasonmchristos: it's basic symmetric | 05:12 |
| Macer | ok. but you are digging too deep into possible problems.. is there a way to do it or not? :) | 05:12 |
| Jordan_U | xsinick: I mean install GNOME shell. | 05:12 |
| jasonmchristos | rhizmoe, using aes128? | 05:12 |
| xsinick | ok | 05:12 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: oh he was talking about the gnome webpage D: | 05:12 |
| celthunder | jasonmchristos: zip files are easily cracked ..not a good method of security | 05:12 |
| xsinick | doing that now | 05:12 |
| ChronicSyncope | jubei, install ccsm | 05:12 |
| Macer | a simple fallback directory is all i need | 05:12 |
| jubei | ChronicSyncope, ok. | 05:12 |
| histo | jubei: in natty you have to install compizconfig-settings-manager and change settings under that | 05:12 |
| jasonmchristos | rhizmoe, what man page would i look at for details | 05:12 |
| tanath | so i tried to run unity on 10.10 and it didn't work too well. couldn't access the searchy thing that seemed to integrate with the desktop and not accept clicks | 05:12 |
| ChronicSyncope | jubei, sory compiz-config-settings-manager | 05:12 |
| Macer | i can figure out the problems that come along as i go alone and refine how it works | 05:13 |
| xsinick | Jordan_U: thanks but Ubuntu is not running gnome shell in Narwhal? | 05:13 |
| Macer | alone/along | 05:13 |
| jasonmchristos | celthunder, that depends on if it is encrypted or just an acess restriction | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | !gnome3 | xsinick | 05:13 |
| ubottu | xsinick: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 05:13 |
| histo | xsinick: no it's running unity | 05:13 |
| rhizmoe | jasonmchristos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_%28file_format%29#Strong_encryption_controversy | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | xsinick: Correct. It is using the Unity shell. | 05:13 |
| ChronicSyncope | jubei, i was wrong again compizconfig-settings-manager sorry xD | 05:13 |
| ohsix | jeeze that's annoying, and why do they have to publish videos for that stuff? are they trying to be mozilla without actually doing anything interesting? | 05:13 |
| jasonmchristos | celthunder, i would hope it would at least avoid massive plain file archiving of email attachments | 05:13 |

| ChronicSyncope | jubei, no problem, unfortunately i gotta run :( plenty of other people here to help though! | 05:14 |
| shane4ubuntu | what is the default unity network manager? the gnome one? | 05:14 |
| jasonmchristos | rhizmoe, i am aware that old zip files in windows use an acess restriction but the newer winzip programs use aes 128/256 now what is this gnome shell using? | 05:15 |
| xsinick | why we stoped gnome? | 05:15 |
| ohsix | tanath: well, that's something else; and you don't have to worry about it, you can just use the classic session | 05:15 |
| tanath | ohsix, but i want to be able to use/like unity... it has potential and will likely become standard... i need to be able to make things work to my liking or adapt things | 05:16 |
| tanath | ohsix, i dislike when features are removed or break others though | 05:16 |
| ohsix | tanath: theres not a lot of room for that, they're designing an experience | 05:16 |
| nmvictor | Ubuntu asks for a password to "Unlock my login Key ring" every time I login, what is up with that? Can I disable that? | 05:16 |
| ohsix | nmvictor: you can change your password to match your keyring password, or vice versa | 05:17 |
| tanath | ohsix, i'm concerned about losing my hard-fought-for efficiency | 05:17 |
| tanath | ohsix, and lack of annoyances :p | 05:17 |
| xsinick | I think it's time to switch to fedora | 05:17 |
| ohsix | fedora does have a lot of upstream oomph | 05:17 |
| celthunder | fedora fails... | 05:17 |
| greylurk | RPM has long been a good package manager. | 05:17 |
| ChronicSyncope | i'm thinking about trying debian or arch | 05:18 |
| gratidude | nmvictor: are you using any password-protected wifi network, that tries to connect when you bootup? | 05:18 |
| ohsix | but i'd hate to dip outside of the repos for something as trivial as ffmpeg or stuff that uses it | 05:18 |
| greylurk | But ubuntu just works. | 05:18 |

| ChronicSyncope | ACameron, you're not _supposed_ to get errors :p | 05:18 |
| xsinick | greylurk: fedora looking nice about now doesn't it? | 05:19 |
| celthunder | ChronicSyncope: go for arch it totally rapese debian | 05:19 |
| esx | Arch ftw. | 05:19 |
| Tully_ | just do a sudo mv -r /* /dev/null and install from disk | 05:19 |
| greylurk | xsinick dunno haven't booted up unity yet. | 05:20 |
| arand | Tully_: Please don't | 05:20 |
| xsinick | greylurk: let me predict... Dude you gonna hate it as it is now | 05:20 |
| S-M-Gl | hello, can someone tell me why gnome 3 does not load when installed in natty, it gives an error, and no other sessions work when gnome3 is installed either? | 05:20 |
| celthunder | S-M-Gl: what's the error | 05:21 |
| Jordan_U | !gnome3 | S-M-Gl | 05:21 |
| ubottu | S-M-Gl: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 05:21 |
| greylurk | xsinick dunno. I can always just go to slackware 13.37 | 05:21 |
| === nestor is now known as Pro-Racing | ||
| xsinick | !gnome | 05:21 |
| ubottu | GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. | 05:21 |
| xsinick | !gnome | S-M-Gl | 05:21 |
| ubottu | S-M-Gl: please see above | 05:21 |
| celthunder | S-M-Gl: whats the error? | 05:21 |
| arand | xsinick: S-M-Gl: installing that won't help... | 05:22 |
| Medfordite | Hey all - Great work! Can anyone tell me if/when broadcom support for the Compaq V5000 (Broadcom B43 I believe) will be ready? | 05:22 |
| xsinick | !gnome 3 | S-M-Gl | 05:22 |
| nmvictor | gratidude: yea, sometime that comes up and after key in the password, some wireless starts to connnect, but right now their is no wifi-hotspot around, I just enter the password and thats it. Please, how do I disable this, its silently annoying | 05:22 |
| xsinick | !gnome3 | S-M-Gl | 05:22 |
| ACameron | ChronicSyncope: yeah, I know. :) But I didn't cancel the installation, and the only problem was with monodoc-base. | 05:22 |

| tanath | yikes. good to know you can't safely downgrade from gnome 3... | 05:22 |
| Tully_ | anyone know of a good multithreaded download manager that integrates with firefox and supports batch downloads? | 05:22 |
| S-M-Gl | celthunder: sorry didnt pay too much atention because was more concerned on the fact that no session worked so had to purge the ppa. | 05:22 |
| Medfordite | Tully - Downloadthemall (downloadthemall.net) | 05:23 |
| greylurk | Gah! Downloading packages, 24 minutes remaining? Wish they just included those on a DVD release. | 05:23 |
| celthunder | Tully_: Dta | 05:23 |
| tanath | Tully_, jdownloader | 05:23 |
| greylurk | Medfordite Download the mall? Sounds like fun. | 05:24 |
| xsinick | rgoytacaz: did the card work after rebooting? | 05:24 |
| Medfordite | Download Them All :) | 05:24 |
| celthunder | Medfordite: that driver should work already | 05:24 |
| alkisg | What's the recommented way to install google earth in Natty? To download the .deb from google, or from medibuntu, or from e.g. a partner repository? | 05:24 |
| Tully_ | thanks all, will check it out | 05:24 |
| nmvictor | How is Natty, for those who have gotten their hard disks filled with it, any major bugs I might wanna avoid coz I am dying to press that upgrade button on my Update manager | 05:24 |
| tanath | greylurk, one day i will rule the mall! | 05:24 |
| Medfordite | Celthunder - Not seeing the Restricted drivers listing the driver like usual as in 10.10 or 10.04. | 05:24 |
| celthunder | Medfordite: b43 i've seen used before | 05:24 |
| blahdeblah | Any experts on initramfs & mdadm present? I have a server which fails to mount the root filesystem on reboot. It drops into the busybox shell claiming that there's no root filesystem. A simple mdadm --auto-detect fixes it and the system continues to boot. Why is this happening, and how can i get the mdadm process to continue without intervention? | 05:25 |
| lumbert | nit-wit ; thanks i'll check that out | 05:25 |
| greylurk | tanath one ring to bring the mall, and in the darkness bind it! | 05:25 |
| ybit | heyo | 05:25 |
| tanath | greylurk, bind the mall? | 05:25 |
| rgoytacaz | Well, Ubuntu 11.04 works only post-install if you try to restart it fails and doesnt boot anymore | 05:25 |
| tanath | greylurk, how about blind? (ring = bling) | 05:25 |
| gratidude | nmvictor: There is a "Available to all users" option that you can enable in Network Manager's config for that wifi connection, and that will stop the system from prompting you to enter the keyring password before connecting you to wifi. Are you using auto-logon? | 05:25 |
| Medfordite | Hmmm...another issue, attempting install of grub boot loader now at the moment for the Server version and it is erroring out with the update-grub function. 2 hard drives, installing to the master drive. | 05:26 |
| UbuntuNoob | hi, im trying to get minecraft to work on ubuntu 10.10 and it wont seem to open. ive read a bunch of ways to fix a black screen, but i havent even gotten that. i enter a name and click ok, but i dont get any screen afterwards. does anyone know how to fix this? | 05:26 |
| greylurk | tanath I think you're on to something. My version just ends up with a big mall of twine. | 05:26 |
| rgoytacaz | Also NVidia drivers, ONCE AGAIN, doesn't work on release, this is getting annoying. | 05:26 |
| celthunder | Medfordite: so? find the broadcom modules and install them and load them if they don't work use ndiswrapper | 05:26 |
| tanath | greylurk, :D | 05:26 |
| rgoytacaz | and Im on certified hardware. :( | 05:26 |
| celthunder | Medfordite: regardless b43 support works one way or another | 05:26 |
| xsinick | rgoytacaz: i agree and i think i | 05:26 |
| ybit | i briefly googled and i lazily looked at the results, so i'm going to instead ask in here.. | 05:26 |
| xsinick | I'm gonna switch to fedora | 05:27 |
| greylurk | crap... Now its' 26 minutes left. | 05:27 |
| ybit | is there a fix for the crappy new scrollbars? | 05:27 |
| lsheeba | the upgrade process without network dont work somehow , it keeps retrying to connect to internet then it says failed to fetch and restores and closes when following this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NattyUpgrades ( im upgrading using alternate cd without wasting a cd , just mounted through terminal and used the run command to execute the upgrade dialog box ) | 05:27 |
| celthunder | rgoytacaz: blame nvidia...or use the open source drivers...which work quite well | 05:27 |
| greylurk | Somehow I'm on Microsoft minutes. | 05:27 |
| carandraug | rgoytacaz, I feel your pain. Someone should shot the guys from nvidia for not releasing their drivers for free | 05:27 |
| taglass | xsinick: lol switching to Fedora because of video driver troubles is probably about the3 worst move you could make. | 05:27 |
| rgoytacaz | celthunder: if oss works well, why does Ubuntu choose to install the nvidia one by default? Dont we learn? | 05:28 |
| ybit | found the fix, phew | 05:28 |
| DigitalUn1corn | I'm having a problem where I go to click on things within a window, but it selects stuff from the window behind it. Anyone know of a fix? | 05:28 |
| carandraug | greylurk, the first time I made a upgrade on the day the release came out, it took me 8h! | 05:28 |
| Souperman | tell me an old hag, but clean install stuff people, do not upgrade stuff, that _NEVER_ goes well | 05:28 |
| _ryx_ | need help ---> UNKNOWN MONITOR | 05:28 |
| greylurk | I think xsinick is a Redhat shill. | 05:28 |
| tanath | hrm, i installed unity on 10.10 and it installed dependencies, but now on removing it the dependencies aren't being removed along with | 05:28 |
| In54n0 | #canal | 05:28 |
| celthunder | rgoytacaz: cause you're insane? | 05:28 |
| In54n0 | #ubuntu-br | 05:28 |
| greylurk | Well, it's down to 9 minutes now... Just bouncing all over the place. | 05:28 |
| celthunder | Souperman: that's just plain wrong | 05:28 |
| rgoytacaz | celthunder: wow, whats that for? free aggression? | 05:29 |
| xsinick | taglass i got them to work but this new ubuntu 11.04 is crappy as Blender 3d is spanning two workspaces every time i luanch it | 05:29 |
| Jordan_U | rgoytacaz: Ubuntu doesn't install the proprietary drivers by default. And they are technically superior in many ways, especially when it comes to 3D accelleration. | 05:29 |
| _ryx_ | need help ---> UNKNOWN MONITOR | 05:29 |
| carandraug | tanath, the dependencies are not removed if you install from things such as synaptic or ubuntu software center. If you want dependencies to be removed, you need to installl with apt-get or aptitude | 05:29 |
| celthunder | rgoytacaz: nah lol just saying...using the oss drivers works for 99/100 things...try them out first | 05:29 |
| rgoytacaz | celthunder: take that to wtv you live, not here. | 05:29 |
| tanath | carandraug, aptitude is what i use | 05:29 |
| _ryx_ | need help ---> UNKNOWN MONITOR | 05:29 |
| arand | _ryx_: Don't repeat. | 05:30 |
| laumonier | i try to remove transmission with apt-get remove transmission but it says that its not install but it is an ideo to remove this ??? | 05:30 |
| lsheeba | looks like i have to go buy a cd LOL | 05:30 |
| greylurk | _ryx_ we heard you. What kind of monitor do you have? | 05:30 |
| carandraug | tanath, then I don't know. Maybe you have something else installed that needs those dependencies | 05:30 |
| celthunder | laumonier: transmission-gtk | 05:30 |
| rgoytacaz | Jordan_U: I know, but from my experience we always have problems with that driver, maybe an option which we can choose between during install, maybe it work okay. | 05:30 |
| yi`zhi | OMG this is taking soooo long to download | 05:30 |
| tanath | carandraug, can't think what | 05:30 |
| yi`zhi | and i have a final tomorrow. i kinda don't wanna sleep until i've figured it out | 05:30 |

| === hcook is now known as brilliant__ | ||
| Jordan_U | rgoytacaz: You said that you want the open source drivers to be default. They are. | 05:31 |

| zombor | hey, i just tried creating a bootable usb from the download image, and it wont boot from my machine, anyone know why? i used dd on my mac to copy the image to my usb key. ive booted from the same usb key for other linux distros... | 05:31 |
| laumonier | celthunder ty | 05:31 |
| rgoytacaz | anyways, I'm trying for the 3rd time a install using different parameters, let see what happens. | 05:31 |
| mknarr | can anyone tell me how to change the group of all the files in a directory at once | 05:31 |
| yi`zhi | lsheeba, oooh | 05:31 |
| celthunder | Souperman: i'm on arch...which is rolling release...which just proves the above statement abundantly false ...as does gentoo, slackware, lfs, etc | 05:31 |
| yi`zhi | thanks for that! | 05:31 |
| rgoytacaz | Anyone figured out the shutdown/boot problems? | 05:31 |
| celthunder | Souperman: all of them allow you to pretty much update anything whenever you want as long a you upgrade everything else with it | 05:31 |
| taglass | zombor: dd doesnt work for ubuntu images. use netbootin | 05:31 |
| lsheeba | but the problem is yi`zhi is that u wont be able to upgrade somehow !!! :S theirs some kind of bug, the only way is to make a cd , i tried emulating a cd and mounting it then running but doesnt work | 05:31 |
| lsheeba | yi`zhi, maybe if i used an application rather then terminal might work , let me test :D | 05:32 |
| zombor | taglass: the instructions say to use dd, and unetbootin doesnt list my usb key | 05:32 |

| Jordan_U | zombor: AMD64 is the 64 bit x86 architecture started by AMD and used by both AMD and Intel. | 05:34 |
| taglass | amd64 covers amd and intel. ia64 is Itanium | 05:34 |
| cntb | k thks carandraug and rgoytacaz avoiding that popup how can i nvoke later? | 05:35 |
| carandraug | cntb, I mean, people tend to prefer the latest version, but if it works for you, then don't upgrade. It may just create more problems. I'd give it a 2-3 weeks before thinking upgrading. I'm still using 10.04 | 05:35 |
| zombor | k, im just used to seeing x86_64 | 05:35 |
| celthunder | ikevin_: crossover cable | 05:35 |
| cntb | that is the LTS | 05:35 |
| celthunder | ikevin_: or straight through depending what the nics are | 05:35 |
| roknir | wow, even the 11.04 installer is buggy. =o | 05:35 |
| carandraug | cntb, It should be available on the update manager every time you go there | 05:35 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, if i do iperf it will give me 18Gb/s | 05:35 |
| mknarr | z0x1c thx man | 05:35 |
| nmvictor | Natty will definately take ubuntu on much greater heights. Canonical income will increse majorly due to their cloud-platforms-intergration coz soon we are gonna have many users. | 05:35 |
| cntb | roknir if true a good point | 05:36 |
| tanath | carandraug, removing recommends manually doesn't remove any other packages either | 05:36 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, they are tx/rx locally! | 05:36 |

| carandraug | cntb, yes. I upgraded to 10.10 but went back because I had some problems with the unity interface. I liked it but it was still to slow and had a few bugs that made it incomaptible with Gnome DO | 05:37 |

| === hahahahaPwned is now known as topramen | ||
| nmvictor | tanath: though I wish synapses would have had much plugins like gnomedo | 05:39 |
| taglass | ezrafree: cd is a shell builtin. try sudo bash | 05:39 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, ok, take ur time | 05:39 |
| tanath | carandraug, i remember from when i installed it that everything was automatically installed except for 'unity' | 05:39 |
| Belinrahs | celthunder: not sure if it told you i replied, its the ralink 5390 | 05:39 |
| arand | tanath: ezrafree: sudo -s rather | 05:39 |
| carandraug | tanath, I mainly use Gnome DO to open programs and folders, and shut down the computer. Not the plugins so much | 05:39 |
| pyrodood | no init found. try passing init= bootarg. | 05:39 |
| carandraug | tanath, yes. But is it marked by aptitude as automatically installed? If you run that command, it should say | 05:40 |
| celthunder | ikevin_: switch justno router? | 05:40 |
| tanath | carandraug, synapse has a fair bit. enough for most things, including zeitgeist which i don't think gnome-do has | 05:40 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, just switch | 05:40 |
| nmvictor | carandraug: should try out some plugins, you'll realy save alot of time for other things in yout linuxbox. | 05:40 |

| ikevin_ | celthunder, the 10Gb dual NIC is so expensive, i only had 1 | 05:41 |

| nmvictor | tanath: what exactly does zeitgeist do, I have come acoss that several times but never knew its importance | 05:41 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, no, i did 10Gb to 1 Gb , it worked fine | 05:41 |
| greylurk | 24 -> 26 -> 9 -> 24 -> 14 I suppose that at least half the time the number is going down. | 05:41 |

| tanath | nmvictor, it's sort of a history log of comp activity so you can quickly access things you've done before. gnome activity journal provides a front end, and it integrates with synapse and has plugins for things like banshee and xchat | 05:43 |

| rgoytacaz | Anyone knows the cause why you can't shutdown/boot Ubuntu 11.04 after install? | 05:43 |
| pyrodood | i see the purple screen for a while | 05:43 |
| pyrodood | then the screen goes black | 05:43 |
| celthunder | rgoytacaz: hold alt i think | 05:43 |
| tanath | carandraug, one reason i don't want to use unity. it coopts some shortcuts i use | 05:44 |
| celthunder | rgoytacaz: or ctrl | 05:44 |
| pyrodood | then it says no init found. | 05:44 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, i guess i can do vlan on the Eth Switch then? | 05:44 |
| pyrodood | try passing init=bootarg | 05:44 |
| rgoytacaz | celthunder: yea, it says crash manager something fails | 05:44 |
| ruan | is gnome3 supported here? | 05:44 |
| greylurk | pyrodood try ctrl-alt-f1 and see if it's completely locked up or if it's just having prolblems with your vid card. | 05:44 |
| gilmar | ubuntu-br? | 05:44 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, have those 2 ports in different subnets? | 05:44 |
| carandraug | taglass, I find the best way to have something done on free software is to report the bug, request a feature. If already has been requested, say that you also want it. And if you can code, submit a patch. The last thing works for me every single time :p | 05:44 |
| celthunder | ikevin_: yeh put them in different vlans and use the pc as the router to itself... | 05:45 |
| taglass | carandraug: fair enough :) | 05:45 |
| doc|home | anyone? | 05:45 |
| carandraug | !pt | gilmar | 05:45 |
| pyrodood | i don't see any change with ctrl+alt+f1 but i can type commands | 05:45 |
| ubottu | gilmar: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 05:45 |
| celthunder | ikevin_: what's your switch? | 05:45 |
| cntb | carandraug: how did you go back ?have both on grub menu or how you down graded | 05:45 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, nda with marvell | 05:45 |
| pyrodood | perhaps i should say type characters i don't know if they are commands | 05:45 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, cant tell u hahha | 05:46 |
| carandraug | cntb, you can't go back. I had to reinstall 10.04 | 05:46 |
| bullgard4 | ruan: GNOME 3 is a project in progress. You can download a GNOME 3 DEB program package from a PPA. | 05:46 |
| pyrodood | 10.10 live cd does boot | 05:46 |
| schneidmaster | Hey all, I'm getting a problem with updating my release. I'd like to upgrade to natty but when I try to check for new updates via the update manager I get this error: | 05:46 |
| schneidmaster | W:Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release Unable to find expected entry (Source/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) | 05:46 |
| schneidmaster | , E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 05:46 |
| FloodBot3 | schneidmaster: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:46 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, its not even released yet so docs sux | 05:46 |
| greylurk | pyrodood it sounds like the gui install having some difficulty recognizing your video card. try command line install? | 05:46 |
| nmvictor | I dont need Unity, as long as its panel is not removable nor modifyable, that imposes a restriction I cant live with, Gnome give musch freedom. | 05:46 |
| ruan | yeah im using gnome3 but i get this error on trying to launch nautilus: Gtk-ERROR **: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported | 05:46 |
| schneidmaster | any ideas? | 05:46 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, dont want to change the registers manullay :( | 05:46 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, manually* | 05:47 |
| ruan | how could i disable one of them? | 05:47 |
| doc|home | nmvictor: I'm with you there | 05:47 |
| pyrodood | i don't know how to do command line install | 05:47 |
| cntb | that is repartitioning carandraug why not have possibility as the small updates kept all in grub? | 05:47 |
| jaypro | j | 05:47 |
| celthunder | ikevin_: :/ ouch...is it that different from other switches/routers? | 05:47 |
| will_ | anyone know where i can find help on screenlets, looking to change my screenlets units to farenheit not celcius | 05:47 |
| rgoytacaz | So Installing 11.04 without download the updates seems to work for me. | 05:47 |
| rgoytacaz | So no updates for a long time. | 05:47 |
| tanath | will_, ugh. get with the times :P | 05:48 |
| rgoytacaz | But nvidia still doesnt work. | 05:48 |
| gilmar | thanks. bye | 05:48 |
| celthunder | ikevin_: from the variety of cisco routers/switches/etc i used 9/10 times the commands are the same despite model | 05:48 |
| Wickedspawn | ok, twice now I have gotten a black box of death..... | 05:48 |
| will_ | trying, dont understand these units though lol | 05:48 |
| carandraug | taglass, it's really good. I'm no programmer but started slowly by fixing erros in man pages and documentations. Then on small simple scripts. It just sucks you up in and before you know it, you're sending patches to the devs to fix all your bugs and half your drive is the trunk version of the programs you have installed. Free software is amazing like that | 05:48 |
| tanath | will_, 0C is freezing. 100C is boiling | 05:48 |
| tanath | will_, both are same at -40 | 05:48 |
| pyrodood | if i do command line install will the video card work after that? | 05:49 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, this is one server design, its not an COTS switch | 05:49 |
| Wickedspawn | this little thing appears on one of my screens, I hover over it to find it is actually a program all smashed up, so I enlarge it and it is just nothing but black... sort of like a dead terminal screen. I exit the thing and unity dies. | 05:49 |
| slayer | hello all | 05:49 |
| tanath | will_, ~22C is room temp | 05:49 |
| remoford | where did the network places go in unity, like the ssh and samba connect to server bookmarks? | 05:49 |
| slayer | does anybody know a good place to get left-handed cursors for KDE 4.2? | 05:49 |
| will_ | o well thats all i need then, thanks for the heads up, i just need to estimate a rough closeness to matching *F | 05:49 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, the IC switch is still dev, so we just testing the eval board now | 05:49 |
| will_ | thank | 05:49 |
| rgoytacaz | So I removed the nvidia driver, which said that it couldnt display Unity and the default OSS does display, fuck nvidia. | 05:49 |
| zooko | Dear people of #ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-3/Maverick#Touchpad says that click-and-drag works on my Macbook Pro 5,3. But it doesn't! When I click, hold the button down, and then drag then the mouse cursor does not move. | 05:49 |
| carandraug | cntb, what do you mean? Grub only points to the linux kernel. Even if you kept the old one, when you upgrade to 11.04, you'll upgrade every bit of software you have installed. All of them will be on the lateste version. It has nothing to do with GRUB | 05:50 |
| IdleOne | !language | rgoytacaz | 05:50 |
| ubottu | rgoytacaz: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 05:50 |
| celthunder | ikevin_: ah | 05:50 |
| celthunder | ikevin_: well nice job...i'm envious....if you're hiring...let me know :) | 05:50 |
| bullgard4 | ruan: Basically by de-installing the associated DEB program package. But it is difficult to deinstall GNOME 2 in Ubuntu because Ubuntu has many metapackages and thus side effects. | 05:51 |
| tanath | will_, below about 10 it starts feeling cold enough to want to dress warm | 05:51 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, u hw or sw? | 05:51 |
| celthunder | ikevin_: mix of both | 05:51 |
| celthunder | ikevin_: more software | 05:51 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, we're in Socal | 05:51 |
| zooko | Hm, also Ctrl-click doesn't seem to right-click like I expect. Am I wrong about that? | 05:52 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, im in HW but SW dept is hiring too i think | 05:52 |
| pfifo | anyone know a way to create a screenshot of the desktop using ONLy the cli? | 05:52 |
| celthunder | ikevin_: move this to pm? | 05:52 |
| remoford | unity is working pretty well, but just cant find "places" anymore | 05:52 |
| greylurk | pfifo like a screenshot of the cli? | 05:52 |
| ikevin_ | celthunder, sure | 05:52 |
| taglass | pfifo: scrot | 05:52 |
| pfifo | greylurk, no, X, but it must be invoked from cli and require no user intervention. | 05:53 |
| bullgard4 | '~$ ip addr; 192.168.178.26'. '~$ sudo dhclient eth0; bound to 192.168.178.26'. What is bound here to what? | 05:53 |
| asiekierka | Hello | 05:53 |
| asiekierka | So I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 | 05:53 |
| zooko | Ohh... if I click by tapping on the mousepad, then I *can* drag... | 05:53 |
| asiekierka | now my OS is a complete s**tfest | 05:54 |
| asiekierka | in GDM everything blinks the menus are not visible | 05:54 |
| asiekierka | i got here from irssi actually :/ | 05:54 |
| zooko | But if I click by clicking the clicky area of the mousepad with one finger and then dragging with the other, then I can't. Hm. | 05:54 |
| ubuntu | Does all work ok with the upgrade??? | 05:54 |
| asiekierka | NOPE | 05:54 |
| ubuntu | Im thinking if I should or should not upgrade now | 05:54 |
| asiekierka | don't | 05:54 |
| asiekierka | i just ruined my Ubuntu installation using the standard way | 05:55 |
| asiekierka | and have no idea how to fix it | 05:55 |
| laumonier | each time i use a password there the key gest who appears and ask me and password but nothing works what should i do???thx | 05:55 |
| carandraug | ubuntu, the way I see it, if it ain't broken don't fix it | 05:55 |
| ubuntu | Wow, better I wait | 05:55 |
| asiekierka | anyone with 11.04 can help :/ | 05:55 |
| asiekierka | this is really bad =( | 05:55 |
| carandraug | ubuntu, http://xkcd.com/349/ <-- like this | 05:55 |
| remoford | upgrade worked for me but it took 7hrs, servers very slow | 05:55 |
| asiekierka | i need to use my computer to move some files now but i really can't | 05:55 |
| tanath | carandraug, if it ain't broke, you haven't fiddled with it enough | 05:55 |
| xsinick_laptop | ubuntu warning do not upgrade | 05:55 |
| asiekierka | unless i use cp /* | 05:55 |
| asiekierka | or something | 05:55 |
| xsinick_laptop | I too messed yup my install | 05:56 |
| asiekierka | xsinick_laptop in what way | 05:56 |
| greylurk | I just did an upgrade in about an hour and a half. | 05:56 |
| carandraug | tanath, ahahahah! Too true | 05:56 |
| xsinick_laptop | I'm now on my 10.10 laptop | 05:56 |
| greylurk | Seems to be working so far, but I haven't checked all of the Nvidia stuff. | 05:56 |
| asiekierka | i use Nvidia | 05:56 |
| asiekierka | >:( | 05:56 |
| asiekierka | i use Nvidia and the entire Gnome (notifications and desktop) blinks for me on/off | 05:56 |
| asiekierka | and the menus aren't visible at all | 05:56 |
| fezzik02 | usr13: booted into failsafex, ran the Additional Drivers wizard, installed the new nvidia drivers, and voila!!! it works! | 05:56 |
| carandraug | asiekierka, oh! Someone here was complaining about the NVidia drivers just a few minutes ago | 05:56 |
| ubuntu | Does unity looks and works better than gnome?? | 05:57 |
| asiekierka | carandraug i'll just run ./fixgpu.sh to install the beta drivers i use | 05:57 |
| asiekierka | i'll see if it helps | 05:57 |
| tanath | remoford, System > Admin > Software Sources > Download from, Other > Select best server | 05:57 |
| doc|home | ubuntu: no, it has silly stuff | 05:57 |
| asiekierka | (my own script) | 05:57 |
| zombor | Jordan_U: still doesnt work :( | 05:57 |
| tanath | remoford, prolly would have saved you some time :p | 05:57 |
| asiekierka | brb | 05:57 |
| taglass | I've used Linux for 18 years and I don't think I've ever done an upgrade. Better to do fresh installs. | 05:57 |
| greylurk | seems to work ok with the default NVidia drivers, upgrading to the "current" ones now to see what happens. | 05:57 |
| ezrafree | hello all. i just got an error at boot-up that the "GNOME Power Manager configuration was not installed" and i figured out it was cause my hard drive got full cause of a backup script i run. i deleted the files and was able to log in again, but now when i start thunderbird my accounts are all gone. any way to repair it? | 05:57 |
| carandraug | ubuntu, looks better and works better are very relative things | 05:57 |
| zooko | Hrm, and ppa:jdstrand/ppa doesn't seem to have natty packages. Ugh. | 05:58 |
| remoford | tanath: yeah i didnt mind much, watched a stream as it upgraded | 05:58 |
| greylurk | All in all, I think I like Unity, but it's hard to tell what apps are installed. | 05:58 |
| zooko | Wellll... back to Mac OS X for the time being. Thanks for listening, folks. :-) | 05:58 |
| remoford | if only i could find out where the network places bookmarks went | 05:58 |
| carandraug | greylurk, is it true it's the default now, even for the desktop version? | 05:58 |
| zetheroo1 | Would anyone like to know how to get the weather applet/indicator back into the top "panel"/bar in 11.04 ? :) | 05:58 |
| tanath | ubuntu, you may want to stick with gnome ('classic session') 'till unity is more polished | 05:58 |
| greylurk | carandraug yep. Hard to decide what I think about it just yet though | 05:59 |
| ubuntu | Ohh and what about gnome 3?? | 05:59 |
| === nonz is now known as temporarytao | ||
| ubuntu | I like gnome | 05:59 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, it goes away? yes please | 05:59 |
| russell-- | how to get rid of the horrible new interface? | 05:59 |
| === root_ is now known as asiekierka | ||
| carandraug | ubuntu, you can upgrade to 11.04 and still keep the classic gnome | 05:59 |
| _Platypus_ | Question- is there anyway to make the Unity bar smaller? | 05:59 |
| asiekierka | Derrrrp | 05:59 |
| asiekierka | this is NOT what i intended | 05:59 |
| asiekierka | :[ | 05:59 |
| asiekierka | the drivers didn't help | 05:59 |
| asiekierka | what to do now | 05:59 |
| FloodBot3 | asiekierka: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:59 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, actually, i'm not using an applet. it's built into the time & date thing in previous versions | 06:00 |
| taglass | russell--: logout and select classic from sessions | 06:00 |
| carandraug | greylurk, on the netbook on 10.10 looked nice but way too slow for my very old computer | 06:00 |
| Sexygurl2furl | excuse me | 06:00 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: well it's no longer there in 11.04 ... I'll tell you how to get it back :) | 06:00 |
| Sexygurl2furl | how do i get java on ubuntu? | 06:00 |
| asiekierka | carandraug didn't you know how to fix the nvidia issues? | 06:00 |
| Sexygurl2furl | like what is the command | 06:00 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, built into time & date still? | 06:00 |
| Sexygurl2furl | i forgot it. :X | 06:00 |
| russell-- | who ever came up with that is FIRED | 06:00 |
| greylurk | carandraug I'm running on a reasonably modern system, but it's reasonably snappy for me. | 06:00 |
| === Sexygurl2furl is now known as rickyrick | ||
| zetheroo1 | tanath: no ... in 11.04 it's gone! No longer built into the time/date | 06:01 |
| === rickyrick is now known as rikrikthetik | ||
| tanath | zetheroo1, >.< ok, so how? | 06:01 |
| carandraug | asiekierka, no. I only use graphics card from intel that don't give problems. I said someone here a few minutes ago was having problems and I think fixed by installing the OSS version of them | 06:01 |
| asiekierka | oh | 06:01 |
| russell-- | taglass: what "sesssions"? | 06:01 |
| asiekierka | i... am honestly annoyed by this fact and hope a fix is released | 06:01 |
| taglass | rickyrick: apt-get install default-jre | 06:01 |
| tanath | honestly, seems like 11.04 is a regression. they should have held back until it was ready | 06:01 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: so what you do is install "indicator-weather" from Synaptic or terminal ... then add it to Startup Applications ... logout/login ... ;) | 06:01 |
| asiekierka | is there a way to get the OSS nvidia drivers into Ubuntu? like, by command line | 06:02 |
| taglass | russell--: it's a drop down box at the bottom of the login screen | 06:02 |
| rikrikthetik | What is the command to get JAva on Ubuntu? | 06:02 |
| carandraug | greylurk, mayb I should upgrade mine. 1GB RAM, 40GB of HDD and a single CPU of 1.6GhZ | 06:02 |
| asiekierka | rikriktherik: ugh... apt-get install default-jre | 06:02 |
| asiekierka | just do it as root | 06:02 |
| rikrikthetik | thanks | 06:02 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, ah, i saw that in unity recommends... | 06:02 |
| carandraug | asiekierka, I think it was rgoytacaz | 06:02 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, thanks for tip | 06:03 |
| carandraug | rikrikthetik, not as root. With sudo | 06:03 |
| greylurk | carandraug, yeah, that's definitely a bit dated. I'd almost suggest running xubuntu on that instead of gnome. | 06:03 |
| russell-- | taglass /me doesn't see it | 06:03 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: i was so overjoyed when I found it in synaptic ... hehe ... I should probably read more of the docs on the release ... | 06:03 |
| rikrikthetik | thanks | 06:03 |
| asiekierka | what was the X configuration command for ubuntu actually? | 06:03 |
| bullgard4 | '~$ ip addr; 192.168.178.26'. '~$ sudo dhclient eth0; bound to 192.168.178.26'. What is bound here to what? | 06:03 |
| asiekierka | i think there was one | 06:03 |
| asiekierka | not sure | 06:03 |
| asiekierka | maybe i mistook it for another system | 06:03 |
| yi`zhi | wooo! i'm almost done downloading | 06:03 |
| FloodBot3 | asiekierka: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:03 |
| yi`zhi | yay | 06:03 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, still have detailed info in tooltip? | 06:03 |
| Captainkrtek | who here is running natty and has a printer? | 06:03 |
| carandraug | greylurk, I have an even older one. But that's running Debian testing :p | 06:03 |
| ubuntu | Its the first time that I test this chat and is very helpful, thanks to all people for the invaluable information that you share in this channel, see you tomorrow! | 06:03 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: no probs ... I also found out how to make the sidebar launchers smaller | 06:04 |
| bazhang | bullgard4, its a lease (ie dhcp) your computer to the router | 06:04 |
| tanath | bullgard4, ip bound to eth0 interface | 06:04 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: sorry ... dunno about tooltip ... | 06:04 |
| Captainkrtek | anyone here on natty with a printer? | 06:04 |
| superproxy | how do you the md5sum of a burned install cd, i'm having problems installing natty | 06:04 |
| Captainkrtek | need someone to test a little bit of documentation | 06:04 |
| carandraug | ubuntu, see you. You come back some other time and help other people too. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside | 06:04 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, don't know what a tooltip is? when you hover mouse over somethign and info box pops up | 06:04 |
| asiekierka | so, what was the x video configuration command in Ubuntu 11.04 (command-line) | 06:05 |
| russell-- | taglass, i see a little "man" icon that gives me "Universal Access Preferences" and the power button icon, which gives me "suspend, restart, shutdown" | 06:05 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: Unity lacks a GUI interface for editing the dash and sidebar ... but I am hoping it will come soon | 06:05 |
| ruan | superproxy: you do a cd check by going into text mode of the livecd | 06:05 |
| bazhang | superproxy, you md5 the iso, check disk integrity of the cd | 06:05 |
| carandraug | superproxy, you don't. When booting from the CD, there should be an optiomn to check CD for defects | 06:05 |
| greylurk | I'm still hoping Canonical picks up the old Sun CDE, and produces cubuntu | 06:05 |
| kjxl9 | hello | 06:05 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: oh ... I haven't paid any attention to that ... :P | 06:05 |
| Captainkrtek | anyone here on natty with a printer? | 06:05 |

| tanath | zetheroo1, hovering over weather in 10.10 shows things like 'broken clouds, feels like temp, wind speed, sunrise & sunset' | 06:05 |
| bazhang | Captainkrtek, yes | 06:05 |
| asiekierka | :( | 06:06 |
| greylurk | lol that was actually a joke. | 06:06 |
| Captainkrtek | bazhang, may I PM you please? :-) | 06:06 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, so check 11.04 for me | 06:06 |
| kjxl9 | how do i change my screen resolution? | 06:06 |
| bullgard4 | bazhang, tanath Thank you very much for your help. | 06:06 |

| bazhang | Captainkrtek, please ask here | 06:06 |
| Captainkrtek | bazhang, it isn't a question, im on the Ubuntu-Doc team, just need someone to verify a method | 06:06 |
| bazhang | greylurk, then #ubuntu-offtopic for silliness please | 06:06 |
| carandraug | kjxl9, go to preferences > monitor. Should be there | 06:06 |
| superproxy | so https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM is wrong? im confus o_O | 06:06 |
| Captainkrtek | don't have a printer of my own to test on right now | 06:06 |

| Captainkrtek | okay | 06:07 |
| Captainkrtek | #ubuntu-doc | 06:07 |
| bazhang | Captainkrtek, #ubuntu-docs ? | 06:07 |
| kjxl9 | ... where is preferences? | 06:07 |
| bazhang | ok no s | 06:07 |

| === Laggg is now known as Laggg3g | ||
| superproxy | how do i go into text mode? | 06:07 |
| Captainkrtek | just #ubuntu-doc bazhang | 06:07 |
| carandraug | kjxl9, at least on the old version was that. On th new version, with unity, if memmory doesn't fail me, just type monitors on the search box | 06:07 |
| skrapp_jaw | does anyone know of a good onscreen keyboard that can be controlled like the ones on the ps3? | 06:07 |
| greylurk | Gah! Funky scrollbars. | 06:07 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: from what I am seeing here (on the net) it's supposed to have it ... | 06:07 |
| eiriksvin | um, is it ok to install the missing plugins from pandora.com | 06:07 |
| eiriksvin | ? | 06:07 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, mmk | 06:07 |
| tanath | skramer, tried gok? | 06:08 |
| eiriksvin | my ubuntu is 10.10 and fresh install so i dont know if its ok | 06:08 |
| tanath | skramer, sorry, wrong nick. other left | 06:09 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: mmk? | 06:09 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, think phonetically | 06:09 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: gotcha ... | 06:10 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: why are you not running 11.04? | 06:10 |
| histo | eiriksvin: you can switch to classic mode instead of unity at the login screen. It's a session choice | 06:10 |
| histo | zetheroo1: many people may not switch | 06:10 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, 'cause i don't think i'll like unity | 06:10 |
| asiekierka | :| | 06:11 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: yeah, I have had mixed feelings about it too | 06:11 |
| bazhang | asiekierka, whats the issue | 06:11 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, i've got everything set up how i like it. i'm nice and efficient and no annoyances. upgrading will break a number of things for me, like shortcuts | 06:11 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: though one could always upgrade and just use the classic session instead ... | 06:11 |
| ace__ | hey guys. my ubutnu upgrade is frozen. it has said 11 minutes remaining for about 6 hours now. its stuck at install setserial. should i force quit it and run it again? | 06:11 |
| eiriksvin | yeah, i know... but i was on it at my moms house (she got 10.10 yesterday thanx to me, then updated today to 11.04) | 06:11 |
| zetheroo1 | histo: mostly due to Unity right!? | 06:12 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, oh, i will when i upgrade... i'm also waiting for a few days after release at least for the wave of inevitable bug fixes | 06:12 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: definitely the smart route | 06:12 |
| eiriksvin | yeah, nice looks... not impressed yet, it needs alot of options added | 06:12 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, i typically upgrade a month or so before release. first i'm i've not wanted to upgrade | 06:12 |
| histo | zetheroo1: well you don't have to use unity on 11.04 but I still run 10.04 on my servers etc... | 06:13 |
| red2kic | Heh. They took away options to make your life easier (ie focus on your work instead of playing around with background settings). | 06:13 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, but there's some drastic changes being made. will be better in long run, but we're not there yet. so i wait | 06:13 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: so your really holding out on this one | 06:13 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, *first time | 06:13 |
| zetheroo1 | histo: I hear you | 06:13 |
| eiriksvin | um how do i fix this: The package indexes are currently changed by apt-get. | 06:13 |
| jmwpc | ace_: I was in the same spot for about 6 hours, I eventually opened up system monitor and saw that there was still network activity... eventually it finished downloading everything and finished, but it took a while. | 06:14 |
| eiriksvin | in Ubuntu Software center | 06:14 |
| vishal_ | Hello. Is it normal for the upgrade to 11.04 to download files at a speed slower than my connectivity is capable of? | 06:14 |
| tanath | histo, 10.10 is better than 10.04... only benefit is LTS if you're sticking with pre 11.04 for a while | 06:14 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: do you think "they" will allow for the customisation of the launcher side-bar and dash in the future? | 06:14 |
| === topramen is now known as SHUTUPZAMABE | ||

| === SHUTUPZAMABE is now known as Glaceon | ||
| extraclassic | everyone seems to have trouble upgrading....i bet if you edited sources.list and did dist-upgrade you'd have a better chance of it working | 06:14 |
| vishal_ | bazhang ah i see. it's because the servers are being flooded with requests? Okay got it. Thanks. | 06:14 |
| tanath | vishal_, servers are being hammered due to release. use System > Admin > Software Sources > Download from, Other > Select best server | 06:15 |
| extraclassic | because upgrading debian isn't a problem | 06:15 |
| zachgretzinger | Is there a way to remove Natty and install Maverick without losing my files and programs? | 06:15 |
| tanath | zetheroo1, well things are always improving... not very often there's a step backwards | 06:15 |
| zetheroo1 | tanath: true that | 06:15 |
| bazhang | zachgretzinger, got a separate home partition? want to make one? | 06:15 |
| red2kic | zachgretzinger: Back up /home/zach/ and /etc/ | 06:15 |
| === Glaceon is now known as leafeon | ||
| histo | tanath: just because the version number is higher doesn't make it better fyi. 10.04 is LTS. people running servers aren't going to jump to the latest greates bug filled release | 06:15 |
| bazhang | !home | zachgretzinger | 06:15 |

| ejv | hello, how do I get the menu bar back in gnome-terminal? File, Edit, etc... | 06:16 |
| ejv | (using Unity) | 06:16 |
| tanath | histo, i'm not basing it on version number. i'm basing it on my experience | 06:16 |
| bazhang | ejv, choose ubuntu classic instead? | 06:16 |
| tanath | histo, admittedly i don't do as much server stuff likely, but still seems better | 06:16 |
| ejv | there's gotta be a fix | 06:17 |
| russell-- | baby jesus cried a river | 06:17 |

| andy_1 | hi | 06:17 |
| superproxy | do you use a "/data" partition? how big, what filesystem type? how do you use it? | 06:17 |

| bazhang | russell--, wrong channel | 06:17 |
| zachgretzinger | ubottu so if I create a partition with, say, 100gb and put everything in that, I'll be able to remove Natty completely and freshly install Maverick and then remove the partition when I'm done? | 06:17 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:17 |
| dirkh | ubuntu yeaaaa | 06:17 |
| tanath | khaotik, that's why there's "classic session" | 06:17 |
| khaotik | this is the worst environment i have ever used | 06:17 |
| extraclassic | ejv: i thought unity had the menu bar at the very top instead of in the app window | 06:17 |
| bazhang | khaotik, thats not appropriate here | 06:17 |
| eiriksvin | um how do i fix this: Ubuntu Software Center - The package indexes are currently changed by apt-get. it says i cant download anything cus theres something else working | 06:17 |
| ejv | extraclassic: beats the heck outta me, been using it for 15 minutes lol | 06:18 |

| bazhang | xsinick_laptop, stop that | 06:18 |
| zachgretzinger | eiriksvin are you using the terminal right now? | 06:18 |
| tanath | superproxy, ext4 is good | 06:18 |
| ejv | extraclassic: thx, nice find | 06:18 |

| sdegutis | no, my irc client | 06:18 |

| rikrikthetik | what does that mean? | 06:21 |
| bazhang | rikrikthetik, #ubuntu-offtopic for opinionating | 06:21 |

| C4colo | yea, I was on 9.4 before I upgraded in the hopes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/516049 was fixed | 06:34 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 516049 in metacity (Ubuntu) "After maximizing window, dragging title bar of different window moves maximized window instead (dup-of: 494096)" [Undecided,New] | 06:34 |

| ACameron | Hi all. The upgrade from 10.10 -> 11.04 really messed up my system and I would just love some help getting my computer to even reach the BIOS. | 06:34 |
| efox29 | anyone know how to allow a script without root passwd | 06:34 |
| C4colo | or actually 8.4 originally | 06:34 |
| zachgretzinger | ACameron what exactly is wrong? | 06:34 |
| linusasus6 | hi I will like to know why gnome and gnome-core is no longer supported | 06:34 |
| C4colo | have upgraded this far and no luck, so I'm not very confident the bug doesn't exist in 10.x versions | 06:34 |
| tanath | C4colo, why not use compiz or another WM? | 06:34 |
| thegoodcushion | Hi everyone. I'm trying to print on a HP Deskjet from Ubuntu that is virtualized within VBox on Windows 7. Is this the best channel to try and fix the problem? | 06:34 |
| ACameron | zachgretzinger: Given that my computer barely boots, I'm not sure how to answer that question. How can I find out what you're asking? | 06:35 |
| C4colo | tanath, what is the lightest one? | 06:35 |
| ACameron | zachgretzinger: I mean, I can't even reach GRUB to boot my Windows partititon. | 06:35 |
| ACameron | *partition | 06:35 |
| zachgretzinger | ACameron explain in detail what your computer is doing that it shouldn't be | 06:35 |
| C4colo | I DONT want pretty at the expense of performance | 06:35 |
| eiriksvin | im seriously thinking about getting my usb full of the stuff i need to get my USB wifi adapter working again, the going ahead and wiping out my unregged (f-ing viruses) Win 7 | 06:35 |
| tanath | C4colo, well, the lightest ones typically wouldn't work the best with certain environments | 06:35 |
| teknowill | I can give you some help with hp printer vbox win 7 | 06:36 |
| ACameron | zachgretzinger: I turn it on, and the screens receive zero input. Not even the screen that the BIOS puts out saying, "I'm booting up!" before I see GRUB. | 06:36 |
| ACameron | When I say it says "I'm booting up", I mean that figuratively. | 06:36 |
| stoja | this release is the end of Ubuntu :/ | 06:36 |
| ACameron | It actually has the motherboard logo on it, and so on. | 06:36 |
| tanath | C4colo, i mean, if you want a lightweight environment you might go with icewm. if you just want the wm to use with a different environment there's ones like openbox fluxbox and blackbox | 06:36 |
| zachgretzinger | ACameron that happened to me as well... I simply restarted the computer a few times, ate a sandwhich, and voila - it went back to normal... | 06:36 |
| tanath | C4colo, then avoid compiz. not as lightweight as even metacity | 06:36 |
| ACameron | zachgretzinger: I will cross my fingers. | 06:36 |
| Kyubey | Hey, I have a question about setting up compiz | 06:37 |

| tanath | Kyubey, depress the scroll wheel | 06:37 |
| truepurple | I am at a stage in upgrading ubuntu where it is asking to remove some stuff. Any reason to give thought as to what it wants to remove? Why does it say "open office" stuff is no longer needed? | 06:37 |
| ACameron | zachgretzinger: Unfortunately, I have no sandwiches, and without a terminal I can't order my roommate to make me one. | 06:37 |
| tanath | Kyubey, can also be simulated with clicking both mouse buttons | 06:37 |
| red2kic | C4colo: Debian? It's always stable. | 06:37 |
| sundjinnkari | So anyone know how to customize the dash and the top bar? | 06:37 |
| Kyubey | tanath, I know how to click it -_- | 06:37 |
| ejv | truepurple: think ubuntu has moved to libre office | 06:38 |
| zachgretzinger | If the problem persists, try creating a bootable USB with Damn Small Linux or something and go in "magically" and grab your files then wipe the drive and start over. It may be a pain but in the end it's worth it | 06:38 |
| Kyubey | I dont know which button compiz sees it as | 06:38 |
| C4colo | metacity is not | 06:38 |
| Kyubey | for the purpose of using it as a shortcutg | 06:38 |
| thegoodcushion | Is anyone here a guru on printing from Ubuntu within VBox? I have VBox 4.0.6 running Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit. It's hosted on Windows 7 64-bit. A Deskjet 2000 is plugged in via USB to the PC. Windows drivers are installed. Test printing from Windows works fine. I have set up a USB filter for the printer and checked it 'on' and Ubuntu appears to know that it exists. I print from within Ubuntu, and they all appear to complete | 06:38 |
| thegoodcushion | successfully, but nothing actually comes out of the printer. | 06:38 |
| tanath | C4colo, have a look at icewm and fluxbox/blackbox and see which you prefer | 06:38 |
| C4colo | ok, thank you | 06:38 |
| ejv | how do i enable metacity in unity? | 06:38 |
| tanath | Kyubey, then what are you asking? lol | 06:38 |
| Kyubey | I'm asking which number the button is for compiz shortcuts | 06:38 |
| tanath | Kyubey, oh | 06:38 |
| Kyubey | such as one, two, three, etc. :P | 06:39 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: i can help a little | 06:39 |
| truepurple | ejv: So should I give it permission to remove it? Is it possible to allow it to remove some of this stuff, but not all? | 06:39 |
| C4colo | some have reported that pulling down the most current version of metacity and compiling it worked to fix the problem ... how often would metacity be pulled into the source? | 06:39 |
| ACameron | zachgretzinger: Any other ideas? multiple hard reboots have been unsuccessful so far. | 06:39 |
| numberto | My Unity search field does not work. When I type something I just does not find any file nor does it finds any app | 06:39 |
| linusasus6 | is stupid no more menu on top bar please why gnome and gnome-core are no longer support | 06:39 |
| Kyubey | I want to know so I dont accidentally undo the shortcuts for the right mouse button while trying to get this to work | 06:39 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: good | 06:39 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: do you have the usb 2 expanstion pack installed | 06:39 |
| numberto | Plus I cannot start launcher by using Alt+F2 | 06:39 |
| zachgretzinger | ACameron how opposed are you to wiping your drive and trying a'new? | 06:39 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: yep | 06:39 |
| C4colo | (I have been dealing with this issue for at least a year hoping every time I click "Install Updates" that it would be fixed) | 06:39 |
| ACameron | zachgretzinger: if I could boot, maybe I could wipe my drive... | 06:39 |
| ZenGuy311 | how long can ubuntu keep their releases CD size? | 06:39 |
| ACameron | zachgretzinger: even though I really don't want to. | 06:40 |
| Kyubey | Is it two or three? I dont want to mess up the right mouse button's configurations | 06:40 |
| ACameron | zachgretzinger: I apologize if I get snarky; it's not you, it's my computer, and it's very late for me. Please don't take it personally. | 06:40 |
| zachgretzinger | ACameron do you know how to make a Bootable USB? | 06:40 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: have you tired it with both usb 2 turned off and on | 06:40 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: yep | 06:40 |
| ACameron | zachgretzinger: No, although I think I could manage a LiveCD. | 06:40 |
| tanath | Kyubey, i think it's 2 or 3... whichever right click is... it's the other | 06:40 |
| Kyubey | haha, tanath, that's the problem | 06:41 |
| Kyubey | I dont know if it's two or three | 06:41 |
| ACameron | zachgretzinger: although, again, not sure how I'm going to boot from it. | 06:41 |
| zachgretzinger | ACameron lol I'm a full German raised in NYC - I'll never take anything personal | 06:41 |
| tanath | Kyubey, test it? lol | 06:41 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: its fully dismounted from ubuntu and mounted in win7 box? sry so manys qs | 06:41 |
| Kyubey | and I dont want to screw up the settings for the right click doing this | 06:41 |
| tanath | Kyubey, only 2 options | 06:41 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: no problem | 06:41 |
| truepurple | ejv: So should I give it permission to remove it? Is it possible to allow it to remove some of this stuff, but not all? | 06:41 |
| Kyubey | when I go to change either, it tells me other parts of compiz will be changed | 06:41 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: Well it mounts in one or the other | 06:41 |
| Kyubey | fuck it, I'm trying 3 | 06:41 |
| ACameron | zachgretzinger: Heh, sounds like some of my coworkers this summer. Haven't met any of them yet, but they're german and working in NYC. | 06:41 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: k, you could share the printer via samba | 06:41 |
| Kyubey | err, sorry, darn it, I shouldn' | 06:42 |
| Kyubey | shouldn't swear here | 06:42 |
| sundjinnkari | So anyone know how to customize the dash and the top bar? | 06:42 |
| zachgretzinger | ACameron install Unetbootin | 06:42 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: The USB thing just isn't working. I'm trying to share over Ethernet | 06:42 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: samba/cups | 06:42 |
| Chaoss | hey there, I've been trying to get my 2 NTFS hard drives to show up in Ubuntu for the last 19 hours | 06:42 |
| tanath | Kyubey, 2 | 06:42 |
| ejv | 19 hours? ouch | 06:42 |
| ejv | that's dedication | 06:42 |
| ACameron | zachgretzinger: install it on.. my unbooting computer..? | 06:42 |
| zachgretzinger | ACameron it's a tool to create bootable usb devices. Try using Damn Small Linux as it's only 50mb and the install takes less than 5 minutes | 06:43 |
| ACameron | oh, I see | 06:43 |
| Chaoss | they appear in disk utility but i cant find them in explorer | 06:43 |
| Chaoss | or what ever its called in ubuntu | 06:43 |
| tanath | Kyubey, win+middle = zoom box in enhanced zoom. it's 3 | 06:43 |
| zachgretzinger | ACameron install it on whatever computer you have that works | 06:43 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: you should be able to share the usb printer over cups/samba to the vbox | 06:43 |
| C4colo | ok, thanks guys, I'm off | 06:43 |
| Kyubey | neither works | 06:43 |
| Kyubey | I just tried both | 06:43 |
| Kyubey | ohhh | 06:43 |
| ACameron | OK, so use Unetbootin to create a DSL bootable thumb drive? | 06:43 |
| Kyubey | I have to hold it | 06:43 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: what's messing up the share | 06:43 |
| Kyubey | durr -_- | 06:43 |
| FloodBot3 | Kyubey: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:43 |

| tanath | Kyubey, button2 = middle | 06:44 |
| Chaoss | I dont get it they work in windows fine, and i can access them but in ubuntu it doesnt support more than 1 hard drive | 06:44 |

| pcgenius | hello i have only ubuntu installed on my system so when my system boots it doesn't shows the grub screen and i just want to go into recovery mode,so please tell me how can i do that ? | 06:44 |
| Kyubey | Now I have to figure out why graphical stuff is lagging | 06:44 |
| truepurple | ACameron: Net install is good too,(a option under unetbootin) very small, it downloads off the internet as it installsACameron | 06:44 |
| zachgretzinger | ACameron yeppers. Then use that USB to boot into your computer and throw your crap on an external and wipe the drive | 06:44 |
| tanath | pcgenius, what version? | 06:44 |
| Chaoss | i've so far managed to destroy 4 installations and break a keyboard | 06:44 |

| ACameron | thanks zachgretzinger, truepurple. I think I'm going to pass out for now and grapple with this some more in the morning. | 06:45 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: Well the printer is mounted in Windows 7 and tests successfully. I select it to print over network, and it has a name on the network. Now I"m in Ubuntu. How do I get Ubuntu to recognize the printer's there on the network? | 06:45 |
| tanath | pcgenius, ah. not familiar with it, but there's an app called startup manager you can use to configure delay and such | 06:45 |
| Kyubey | I'm running 64bit with nvidia graphics drivers | 06:45 |

| teknowill | thegoodcushion: so your host is win 7 and guest ubuntu? you should "share" from host if possiable, otherwise you might have issuses.. one sec pls for the answer to q | 06:47 |
| pcgenius | can anyone please tell me | 06:47 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: ok | 06:47 |

| tanath | asiekierka, linux has nothing on windows :p | 06:48 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple they are obsolete packages, not the programs themselves. You know on Windows when you download an .exe and install the program you still have the .exe somewhere? Same concept | 06:48 |
| pcgenius | i am using 11.04 | 06:48 |
| itilious | why does ubuntu 11.04 menu controls disappear when i simply run "emerald --replace"? | 06:48 |

| teknowill | thegoodcushion: windows 7 dose and it makes a different how the network setting are set for vbox, set the vbox net interface to bridge so it has a ip in your network | 06:52 |
| bazhang | itilious, this is not channel for that | 06:52 |
| itilious | less features, less customability, less etc etc etc | 06:52 |
| polatov | hi to all | 06:52 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple but you still can use all of your programs | 06:52 |
| bazhang | !ot > itilious | 06:52 |
| ubottu | itilious, please see my private message | 06:52 |
| pcgenius | tanath:but with the use of startup manager app we can work only if the ubuntu is running but one of my system is not able to boot ubuntu due to broken package,so when i boot my system only blank screen comes so i need to step into recovery mode from their | 06:52 |
| helpmeplz | zenguy311, but wouldn't that corrupt my windows mbr? | 06:52 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: So perhaps update them before updating ubuntu? | 06:52 |
| polatov | hi move dash to right side? | 06:52 |
| polatov | how move dash to right side? | 06:52 |
| Chaoss | what do i have to type in to get them to work | 06:52 |
| ZenGuy311 | helpmeplz: can you still boot into windows and reinstall wubi | 06:53 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple yes, do a quick sudo apt-get update before upgrading | 06:53 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: you might need to give the host ip in manually even then | 06:53 |
| extraclassic | itilious: people are in #ubuntu-offtopic complaining right now...it's pretty funny | 06:53 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: How do I set the VBox newtwork to bridge? | 06:53 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple before you upgrade though I would suggest install Natty on either a CD or USB and testing it out a bit. That way you won't have wasted your time if you do not like Natty | 06:53 |
| tanath | pcgenius, tap esc while booting. it should prevent it from going past the menu | 06:53 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: With the update screen at "do you wish to remove these packages" will that still work? Or will I have trouble because the update is midstream? | 06:53 |
| helpmeplz | zenguy311: yes, im on my windows installation right now. I could uninstall and reinstall ubuntu wubi for a 3rd time via the program manager | 06:53 |
| Chaoss | i could be here another 19 hours, tried fstab mount /dev/sdb1 and unknown command | 06:54 |
| pcgenius | tanath:ok thanks dude | 06:54 |
| tanath | pcgenius, once you get it working you may want to add a delay for future | 06:54 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple just make sure before you update that the terminal is doing nothing | 06:54 |
| Chaoss | would have though after these years they'd have made a way to support more than 1 HD | 06:54 |
| yi`zhi | noob question but if i buy a mac book pro, i could just install ubuntu over it and it'll work fine right? any issues regarding that? | 06:54 |
| pcgenius | anyways congratulation to ubuntu team and community for the awesome release 11.04 | 06:54 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: I'm about ready to install Ubuntu as dual-boot instead of virtualized | 06:55 |
| zachgretzinger | yi zhi go right ahead. I don't know why on earth you'd buy a macbook fashionaccessorypro though... | 06:55 |
| ZenGuy311 | helpmeplz: no .. just complete the windows install | 06:55 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: on the lower right of vm window should be an icon for network card if not: shutdown the guest, and under its settings should be something about the network card in there will be a drop down | 06:55 |
| Chaoss | what do i have to type into terminal to get the hard drives working, they are sdb1 and sdc1 both are ntfs? | 06:55 |
| doodle | Hello, I have problem with installing 11.04. I chose a drive of 45 GB as mounted in /dos with FAT32 file system, but I cannout see that drive now. How can I see that drive in my computer and use? I can use and see that on Windows though. | 06:55 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: Are there drawbacks for 11.04 then? Besides the new quick link stuff, anything else I will appreciate with 11.04? Its alot quicker? | 06:55 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: it's not just a selction in the settings not too complex, but understand the fustration | 06:56 |
| Chaoss | what do i have to type into terminal to get the hard drives working, they are sdb1 and sdc1 both are ntfs? | 06:56 |
| helpmeplz | ZenGuy311: How do I complete the install inside windows? I thought the install would complete itself after it'd ask to reboot. | 06:56 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: I have changed it from NAT to Bridged Adapter. Is that what I need? | 06:56 |
| yi`zhi | zachgretzinger, that's pretty much it. i just like the design haha | 06:56 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: yep! | 06:56 |
| Chaoss | looking at the fstab page says i need to set up a server | 06:56 |
| Chaoss | i dont have the money to buy a server at the moment | 06:56 |
| ZenGuy311 | at the reboot it should have | 06:56 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple just keep in mind that 11.04 (Natty) is a BIG change from what you're used to. A lot of people don't like Natty because they haven't immediately gotten used to it | 06:56 |
| Chaoss | and i dont have the knowledge to compile a new linux distro that supports more than 1 hard drive | 06:57 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: Like what? | 06:57 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: And for Name, do I select the real NIC or the VirtualBox Host-Only thing? | 06:57 |
| philipballew | my computer wont update to 11.04 when i type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 06:57 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: I am a linux newbie, I am still getting use to linux in general | 06:57 |
| Chaoss | what do i have to type into terminal to get the hard drives working, they are sdb1 and sdc1 both are ntfs? | 06:57 |
| superproxy | how do i enable text mode in a graphical natty amd64 installer, i need to check the cd's integrity | 06:57 |
| Maddogm | you dont have to use unity if you dont want to | 06:57 |
| tanath | philipballew, the apt-get upgrade in there is wasteful | 06:57 |
| zachgretzinger | yi zhi honestly, design should be the last thing to look for when buying a computer... I work on both PC and Mac at work and most of the Mac's are actually inferior to the PC's | 06:58 |
| helpmeplz | zenguy311, well at the reboot it tried to complete the install but it failed saying that the root partition wasn't defined | 06:58 |
| Chaoss | what do i have to type into terminal to get the hard drives working, they are sdb1 and sdc1 both are ntfs? | 06:58 |
| ZenGuy311 | helpmeplz: you'll have to reinstall wubi to be sucsessful | 06:58 |
| philipballew | tanath how can i update to 11.04 then? | 06:58 |
| ejv | Chaoss: all linux distros support multiple hard drives, why don't you start by: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 06:58 |
| ejv | Chaoss: then: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit | 06:58 |
| tanath | philipballew, that should work. but you didn't state the problem | 06:58 |
| taglass | Chaoss: I was just about to type something up to explain it, but thought to myself "Why reward that behavior" | 06:58 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: i think the real one | 06:58 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple go to youtube and type in Natty and watch a few of the videos | 06:59 |
| ejv | also... | 06:59 |
| helpmeplz | ZenGuy311, Well I've just been using the step by step that's on the DVD. What's the better way of going about this? | 06:59 |
| ejv | !patience | Chaoss | 06:59 |
| ubottu | Chaoss: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 06:59 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: hard to picture in my mind sry | 06:59 |
| philipballew | when i attempt to run the comand it just updates my system and tells me no updates are avaible | 06:59 |
| Chaoss | http://paste.ubuntu.com/600596/ | 06:59 |
| bazhang | ejv, I dont think he has pastebinit installed | 06:59 |
| ejv | bazhang: i told him to install it | 06:59 |
| tanath | philipballew, try with the update manager | 06:59 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: could you see inet pages befoer in the box? | 06:59 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: A utube video isn't going to tell me much | 06:59 |
| bazhang | ejv, nicely done I missed that | 06:59 |
| ZenGuy311 | helpmeplz: i'vew only done a wubi install about 3 years ago, but wubi should be safe for new users | 06:59 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple there are reviews on Natty where virtually everything is covered. pro's, con's, etc | 07:00 |
| ejv | bazhang: ;) | 07:00 |
| philipballew | im updating my server over ssh | 07:00 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: okay I selected the real adapter and now my SMB Browser sees Workgroup and Richard-Windows, which I presume is something from the Windows 7 machine appearing in Ubuntu | 07:00 |
| ejv | Chaoss: ok so what have you tried, what errors are you getting? | 07:00 |
| tanath | zachgretzinger, apostrophes aren't used for plurals | 07:00 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: sounds right | 07:00 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: I tried running the get update program, but I got alot of errors about unavailable resources | 07:00 |
| Chaoss | i tried to install pysdm but i cant find it | 07:00 |
| Maddogm | is there a way to pre-download a dist-upgrade? | 07:00 |
| doodle | Hellow everyone, (reposting) I have problem with installing 11.04. I chose a drive of 45 GB as mounted in /dos with FAT32 file system, but I cannout see that drive now. How can I see that drive in my computer and use? I can use and see that on Windows though. | 07:01 |
| Chaoss | and i have spent time looking for it | 07:01 |
| siloxid | in gnome I changed my mouse settings but these aren't observed when I log in with a different wm. how do I keep the mouse settings? | 07:01 |
| ejv | Chaoss: what's pysdm ? | 07:01 |
| helpmeplz | ZenGuy311: okay. Well I'll try and do some research then. It's a shame they have to make it so exhausting to figure out. | 07:01 |
| ejv | Chaoss: i thought you were trying to mount your NTFS partitions... | 07:01 |
| Chaoss | i am | 07:01 |
| soreau | How can I get rid of this mail icon on my panel? 'ps ax|grep evolution' shows nothing of this sort is running | 07:01 |
| Chaoss | it said it would help me out but its done nothing | 07:01 |
| linusasus6 | is gnome-shell, gnome-desktop, gnome-core and gnome packages will be supported on the 11.10 because they no longer seem to be supported in 11.04 | 07:01 |
| ZenGuy311 | helpmeplz: ok good luck | 07:01 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: I figured out what the problem is, and I'll tell you | 07:01 |
| deneb | hello...how can i install gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.04? any link on web to explain? it has many ways and i'm confused what is right | 07:01 |
| helpmeplz | ZenGuy311: Thanks for the help | 07:01 |
| zachgretzinger | tanath I apologize, oh great grammar Nazi *bows head* | 07:01 |
| tanath | philipballew, actually, someone said upgrading is borked right now. should try later | 07:02 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: I originally had no password for my Windows 7 user account. But Ubuntu won't log onto the workgroup without a password. You must have a password or it won't log into the workgroup. | 07:02 |
| ejv | Chaoss: i would: sudo mkdir /mnt/mydrive && mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/mydrive | 07:02 |
| taglass | Maddogm apt-get -d dist-upgrade | 07:02 |
| ZenGuy311 | Hellie: k but wish i could have been more useful | 07:02 |
| tanath | zachgretzinger, way to make assumptions. i don't know if you know better or care or not. for all i know english isn't your first language and you'd appreciate the correction | 07:02 |
| Chaoss | only root can do that | 07:02 |
| ejv | Chaoss: you can't use sudo? is this your machine? | 07:03 |
| zachgretzinger | tanath, English is actually my 3rd language... | 07:03 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: you could make a dummyuser or you can put a password on the administrator account that is default to all win boxes | 07:03 |
| Chaoss | thats what it says, i've never understood that error | 07:03 |
| Chaoss | sudo works sometimes | 07:03 |
| ejv | Chaoss: it should work ALL the time, it will prompt you for your password you provided during installation. | 07:03 |
| tanath | zachgretzinger, care less the more languages you learn? :p | 07:03 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: I tried running the get update program, but I got alot of errors about unavailable resources | 07:03 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: It's looking better but same thing is happening. I've printed a test page twice, and both times Ubuntu claims it was successful but nothing has come out of my printer | 07:03 |
| Chaoss | yeh i put that in correctly | 07:03 |
| ejv | Chaoss: ok so what happened? | 07:04 |
| Chaoss | now when i try again it just says cannot create directory | 07:04 |
| deneb | hello...how can i install gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.04? any link on web to explain? it has many ways and i'm confused what is right | 07:04 |
| tanath | deneb, wouldn't recommend it | 07:04 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: I tried running the get update program, but I got alot of errors about unavailable resources | 07:04 |
| zachgretzinger | tanath as long as people understand what I mean, it really doesn't matter to me. | 07:04 |
| ejv | Chaoss: mount | pastebinit | 07:04 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: ubuntu support annoymous, but win 7 has this homegroup thing, if you have that on it makes working with non win7 pcs hard | 07:04 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: I reckon I'll install Natty as a dual-boot and stop all this virtualization rubbish. It causes more problems than it solves. | 07:04 |
| tanath | deneb, if it doesn't work, you can't safely downgrade | 07:04 |
| deneb | tanath: why doesn't work? | 07:04 |
| Chaoss | http://paste.ubuntu.com/600598/ | 07:04 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: i guess, but this is a fixable problem | 07:04 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: in theory, yes | 07:05 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple that doesn't matter for now, you still got the updates you need. Did you see "404" a lot? | 07:05 |
| tanath | zachgretzinger, spelling and grammar are important. misuse them and they can be misleading | 07:05 |
| ejv | Chaoss: use my name when sending me information: example: ejv: http://paste.ubuntu.com/600598/ | 07:05 |
| mbrochh | just updated to 11.04... how do i activate the new desktop? everything still looks the same as it did before the update | 07:05 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: Well the printer is right there on the printing configuration page. It appears to know that the printer exists. But nothing comes out of the printer. | 07:05 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: Not a single 404 | 07:05 |
| Starminn | mbrochh: Did you log out? | 07:05 |
| === hcook is now known as see | ||
| tanath | zachgretzinger, many miscommunications occur without either party being aware.. | 07:05 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: And no, I didn't get any updates | 07:05 |
| === see is now known as hcook | ||
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: The command didn't work | 07:06 |
| mbrochh | Starminn, I restarted several times? | 07:06 |
| doodle | bazhang: Can you help please? I need to help with patitioning. I chose a drive of 45 GB as mounted in /dos with FAT32 file system, but I cannout see that drive now. How can I see that drive in my computer and use? I can use and see that on Windows though. | 07:06 |
| tanath | deneb, it apparently hasn't worked for some people | 07:06 |
| ejv | Chaoss: mount shows that your sda2 ntfs partition is already mounted under /media/ folder; the command i sent you earlier, i indicated */dev/sdaX* where X is a number YOU substitute... did you do that? | 07:06 |
| doodle | !repost | 07:06 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: if you want as well, you can have ubuntu print to pdf file as printer insead of direct and just save them to a shared dir | 07:06 |
| doodle | Sorry, typo. :S | 07:06 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: that's more trouble than it's worth | 07:07 |
| zachgretzinger | tanath I'm 20, give me a break!! Spanish was my first language, followed by German. You can see how English may be a little complicated with all of it's rediculous rules | 07:07 |
| Chaoss | yeh i did | 07:07 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: and just print in win... k just a side thought... but I think the troulbe is win7 home group crap | 07:07 |
| djazz | when I start a terminal, it dont appear in the launcher (11.04) :/ | 07:07 |
| Chaoss | it just says "Only root can do that" | 07:07 |
| deneb | tanath: i tried recently with ppa and then install gnome-shell and it didn't have the right theme (not the adwaita but an older look like) | 07:07 |
| Chaoss | which i assume means it cant do it for some reason | 07:07 |
| ejv | tanath / zachgretzinger, enough, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic or ignore eachother, thx ;) | 07:07 |
| soreau | How can I get rid of this mail icon on my panel? 'ps ax|grep evolution' shows nothing of this sort is running | 07:07 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: Honestly I reckon I'll install Linux on the metal. VBox has caused me nothing but trouble and it doesn't do me much good | 07:07 |
| tanath | zachgretzinger, don't think i've been hard on you... | 07:07 |
| deneb | tanath: is that the problem? | 07:07 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple press ALT+F2 and type in the following "sudo apt-get update" | 07:08 |
| taglass | doodle: try sudo blkid to find the partition and then sudo mount sdwhatever /dos where sdwhatever is the nae you got from blkid | 07:08 |
| tanath | deneb, what problem? | 07:08 |
| ejv | Chaoss: if you used sudo, and put in your password correctly, the mount operation should succeed. | 07:08 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: ALT F2 doesn't do anything | 07:08 |
| zachgretzinger | tanath: Correction: Don't think I've been hard on you. | 07:08 |
| Chaoss | ok | 07:08 |
| Chaoss | i see no password entry | 07:08 |
| Chaoss | just the message again | 07:08 |
| ejv | Chaoss: double check your `fdisk -l` listing, to make sure it corresponds to your devices you're trying to mount. | 07:09 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple then manually open the terminal and type the following: "sudo apt-get update" | 07:09 |
| deneb | tanath: i tried recently with ppa and then install gnome-shell and it didn't have the right theme (not the adwaita but an older look like) | 07:09 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: only when you trun off home group can any pc access a share without password... you would have this problem on any non win 7 metal box trying to connect over ethernet, just so you know | 07:09 |
| Chaoss | yeh that works it shows me that information | 07:09 |
| thegoodcushion | Okay, everyone. I love Ubuntu 10.10 and I haven't yet upgraded to 11.04. I'm a bit dubious about Unity though. Should I stick with 10.10, learn to live with Unity, run 11.04 with GNOME, or switch to another distro? | 07:09 |
| djazz | 11.04 launcher is bugged :/ | 07:09 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: Ok, I got alt F2 to work, apparently it only works with the left alt. But as I said, that command doesn't work, it gives me that error when I do that | 07:09 |
| Chaoss | i put my password in and it showed me, but when i try the command thats suppose dto work, it does not so | 07:10 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: but usb on bare will work, non vm has it's problems as well, but speed will be better | 07:10 |
| Chaoss | is there no way to brute force access the drives? | 07:10 |
| ejv | Chaoss: ok, then using the format: `sudo mount <device> <target>` is the next step, where target can be in /mnt/ or /media/ typically. | 07:10 |
| tanath | zachgretzinger, my grammar was correct, and the lack of caps doesn't make it unclear. and when chatting lack of caps is common and informal | 07:10 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: yeah | 07:10 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple so absolutely NOTHING happens? You don't see 99% a million times? | 07:10 |
| taglass | thegoodcushion: only you can answer that question | 07:10 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: It gives me those errors I mentioned about unavailable resources and such | 07:10 |
| tanath | anyway, gotta run. good luck peopel | 07:11 |
| AnonymousGuy | hey just downloaded and installed ubuntu 11.04 having an issue with the update manager though, http://pastebin.com/fty5AXwu | 07:11 |
| tanath | *people | 07:11 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple that doesn't mean everything didn't update | 07:11 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: The errors I mentioned earlier that you said I should not mind | 07:11 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: i think though, if you turn off or remove your win 7 pc from home group and reshare the printer to "everyone" ubuntu will take it | 07:11 |
| Chaoss | ok i see sdb | 07:11 |
| Chaoss | its worked sort of | 07:11 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: I never got to a screen to choose any updates, nor did I see any download progress or install activity | 07:11 |

| zachgretzinger | truepurple were you in the terminal | 07:12 |
| djazz | anyone else using 11.04 have trouble with launcher? | 07:12 |
| Chaoss | just a few files (Boot, System volume information, bootmgr etc) | 07:12 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: I might try that | 07:12 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: When I type that command in terminal, all it does is give me those errors | 07:12 |

| Chaoss | mount: unknown filesystem type 'promise_fasttrack_raid_member' | 07:14 |
| djazz | anyone have trouble with launcher? | 07:14 |
| doodle | taglass: but I have no name for that partion so I tried sudo blkid UUID /dos | 07:14 |
| ejv | djazz: be more specific. | 07:14 |
| Chaoss | aha i know the problem, ubuntu doesnt support ntfs | 07:15 |
| doodle | taglass: that gives no output. | 07:15 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: problem is that if Ubuntu stays with this Unity crap, I reckon I might abandon Ubuntu | 07:15 |
| zachgretzinger | djazz by trouble, do you mean trouble getting used to it | 07:15 |
| djazz | terminal doesnt show up, wine programs are combined in one wine "app" | 07:15 |
| ejv | Chaoss: you mean you haven't loaded support for it? why didn't you say so? | 07:15 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: Why? | 07:15 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: had good luck with opensuse 11.3, 11.4 kde eats too much cpu | 07:15 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: No, I want GNOME | 07:15 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple because I think you're misunderstanding something but would like to be sure | 07:15 |
| linusasus6 | linuxmint | 07:15 |
| Chaoss | it seems odd because it can access my main windows hard drive (i have one Solid state drive, and 2 1TB hard drives) | 07:16 |
| Maddogm | thegoodcushion, you can login using "Ubuntu Classic" and get the current (previous) gui | 07:16 |
| Chaoss | i can seethe solid state drive and the windows folders n stuff | 07:16 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: But how does putting it in a text file on my desktop help you do that? | 07:16 |
| taglass | doodle: can you post the output of sudo blkid to a pastebin? | 07:16 |
| doodle | taglass: okay. | 07:16 |
| ejv | Chaoss: i think i've hit my limit in terms of support i can provide for that issue, attempt to setup ntfs support, there's a wealth of documentation online about the process. | 07:16 |
| Chaoss | but the other 2 hard drives are totally 101% inaccessible from ubuntu i've tried so much for so long | 07:16 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple because once you do it and tell me you did it I'm going to have you email it to me and I'm going to read it | 07:16 |
| Chaoss | and it always says 1 error, or some other cryptic message | 07:16 |
| ejv | !enter > Chaoss | 07:17 |
| ubottu | Chaoss, please see my private message | 07:17 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: well debian is a pain if you want none approved progs and out of box flash didn't work... fedora is good but again you need to get codeces.... | 07:17 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: How about a pastebin or a PM instead? Less work, and anyway, why put it into a text file to email it to you? | 07:17 |
| Vustom | When I startup my computer (Which is using Windows and Ubuntu side-by-side, Windows being installed first) theres an option to press F11 which goes into System Recovery, this worked before when I just had Windows by itself, but I want to do another reformat because of the new Ubuntu, how can I fix this? | 07:17 |
| gh0st | what's the deal with remote desktop viewer? | 07:17 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: Well Debian doesn't have GNOME 3. I think I prefer debian-based distros | 07:17 |
| truepurple | zachgretzinger: Its like 4 lines anyway | 07:17 |
| ejv | gh0st: be much more specific. | 07:17 |
| zachgretzinger | truepurple however you want, just give me the output of the terminal once you type in sudo apt-get update | 07:17 |

| Starminn | Vustom: You want to reformat your whole hard drive or just overwrite Ubuntu? | 07:18 |

| Vustom | It's awesome. ;3 | 07:18 |
| ejv | Chaoss: the recent release 11.04 is, you may want to try 10.04 LTS for something more stable | 07:18 |
| thegoodcushion | taglass: no wait I meant GNOME 2 | 07:19 |
| Vustom | Excited for Unity, at first I was like eh, but it looks cool. :D | 07:19 |
| thegoodcushion | my bad | 07:19 |
| Starminn | Vustom: I'd say just open up GParted from a LiveCD and wipe it all. | 07:19 |
| Chaoss | in ubuntu where do you access "system" | 07:19 |
| taglass | doodle: type this sudo mount -tvfat /dev/sda11 /dos | 07:19 |

| ejv | djazz: ? | 07:19 |
| Chaoss | it used to be on the top bar but its vanished | 07:19 |
| Starminn | Vustom: I'm excited for Gnome3 but it looks like I'll have to wait for 11.10 for that one. | 07:19 |
| Vustom | But theres another HDD in there, and it has the system covery for Windows Vista on it.. | 07:19 |

| Vustom | HP (HDD) | 07:20 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: well i mean as far as they go i'd go best experiances were unbunt 10.04 for desktops and debian no-gui for servers | 07:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | Starminn, don't hold your breath. Ubuntu isn't going to use Gnome... | 07:20 |
| doodle | taglass: I got this: mount: /dev/sda11 already mounted or /dos busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda11 is already mounted on /dos | 07:20 |
| Chaoss | i've instlled it but cant find it ANYWHERE what so ever | 07:20 |
| Vustom | FACTORY_IMAGE (HDD) | 07:20 |
| ejv | djazz: ahh the launcher issue you mentioned, not sure i understand from the picture, let me look again | 07:20 |
| djazz | look at terminal.. | 07:20 |
| Vustom | the factory image is on the same HDD i think. | 07:20 |
| djazz | Why does Empathy open links in firefox when I have set chrome as default? | 07:20 |
| greg | Hi anyone like the new "Unity" thing? | 07:20 |
| Vustom | so i can't wipe it all, then i'll have no windows :/ | 07:20 |
| taglass | doodle: then it's a;ready mounted.. your data should be accessible in /dos | 07:20 |
| Starminn | ZykoticK9: I know, but hopefully Gnome3 will be able to run in 11.10. OTherwise, they'll be pulling a proprietary move by restricint g what you can/can't use in whicih case I'll drop them like a bad habit. | 07:20 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: you might be able to use a different x server in ubuntu if you dont like unity | 07:20 |
| ejv | looks normal djazz | 07:20 |
| djazz | ejv, do you see terminal in launcher? | 07:21 |
| doodle | taglass: but I want it under /media | 07:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | Starminn, i've personally moved to Debian because of Unity | 07:21 |
| thegoodcushion | teknowill: yeah you can login using GNOME. My only concern is that ubuntu will move away from GNOME | 07:21 |

| zachgretzinger | elad type in my whole name or I can't see that you mentioned me | 07:24 |
| Cr3al | such as moving the order of the applications | 07:24 |
| teknowill | thegoodcushion: well you could always add it later, i'm sure there would be a ubuntu distro with a none unity if they do, i mean they have a kubunu now so I bet they would doa gubuntu | 07:24 |
| pipou | where does the ubuntu upgrade need 1.5 GB or so of disk space? I can't do that on / but can somewhere else | 07:24 |
| djazz | guess I must reboot to fix the launcher... :( | 07:24 |
| Starminn | Vustom: F11 is a Windows-only option I think. So, since it's only in Windows, have you tried booting into Windows and trying ti then while the Windows thing is going? | 07:24 |

| MJBrune | I have a Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) sound chipset and I want to know if my mic will work in linux. will it? | 07:37 |
| Braiam | lgp171188: classic won't be the same as the old gnome, thanks to extraclassic | 07:37 |
| taglass | ytaews: did the md5sum of your download match the posted checksums? If so try burning your cd at a slower speed | 07:37 |
| amit | i think ubuntu 10.10 is better at this time | 07:37 |
| yi`zhi | OOOH i'm about to restart! | 07:38 |
| lgp171188 | Braiam: Ok, how do I change the default? | 07:38 |
| yi`zhi | this is so exciting | 07:38 |
| MJBrune | anyone?! | 07:38 |
| Braiam | lgp171188: ask to extraclassic | 07:38 |
| Ziber | How can I show duplicate songs in Rythm box? | 07:38 |
| taglass | MJBrune: I see no reason why it wouldnt | 07:38 |
| doodle | taglass: most probably I made this error in installation, I want to re-install, what should I select there (after deleting and reassigning) to mount in /media, I see only 2 options there /dos and /windows | 07:39 |
| Logan_ | !please | MJBrune | 07:39 |
| ubottu | MJBrune: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 07:39 |
| Braiam | lgp171188: im on 10.10 | 07:39 |
| extraclassic | why, I don't know what I'm talking about half the time | 07:39 |
| MJBrune | Logan_: the channel is already unreadable. | 07:39 |
| lgp171188 | extraclassic: How do I change the default desktop environment in natty? | 07:39 |
| MJBrune | taglass: because the drivers are shit? | 07:39 |
| MJBrune | ugh morons | 07:39 |
| aetaric | once again, 11.04 unity won't start on supported card | 07:39 |
| taglass | doodle: I don't think you need to assign a mountpoint at all | 07:40 |
| extraclassic | lgp171188: don't know...I'm not using it | 07:40 |
| doodle | taglass: then it says, your drive will be unused! | 07:40 |
| ytaews | taglass: Yeah, the MD5 matched. I've spent all day burning new discs, making USBs and then I tried going back to lucid, then upgrading to maverick then to natty. Still get a black screen every time I boot. | 07:40 |
| doodle | taglass: shoul I ignore that message and go fo installation? | 07:40 |
| taglass | doodle: that's fine. you should still be able to click on it in nautilus and easily mount/unmount it | 07:40 |
| Logan_ | lgp171188: run the command gdmsetup in a terminal | 07:40 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | having an issue running a java jar archive. I get http://pastebin.com/6BkDrMPN when I "java -jar /path/of/file.jar" | 07:41 |
| === debd is now known as damno | ||
| Logan_ | lgp171188: then, in that window, hit the Unlock button, put in your password, and then you can change the default environemnt | 07:41 |
| taglass | ytaews: that's not good and it sounds like you've alraedy tried any advice I might have to offer. | 07:41 |
| doodle | taglass: okay, will do, thanks! | 07:41 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | and as you can see from the last couple lines, it's minecraft >.> So it should be working, its not like I made it and it isn't working. xD | 07:41 |
| lgp171188 | Logan_: I didn't realize the option would in gdmsetup. Let me try it out. Thanks :) | 07:42 |
| Logan_ | lgp171188: no problem :) | 07:42 |
| linusasus6 | have a good nite I hope you got lot of cofee because everyone will need help on natty because Unity | 07:42 |
| damno | I cant set eth1 as default for ntop | 07:42 |
| ytaews | taglass: Alright, thanks for the help, I guess it's back to Maverick for now. | 07:42 |
| taglass | Spaz_Dynamic: are you using the sun jre? | 07:43 |
| lgp171188 | linusasus6: It is not as if unity is so buggy but it is due to people so used to traditional Gnome :) | 07:43 |
| damno | I cant set eth1 as default for ntop. any help? | 07:43 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | think so. either way, I was about to run it out of the box on 10.10, though I did do a fresh install for 11.04 | 07:43 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | fresh including /home | 07:44 |
| Flynsarmy | Are you able to upload to ubuntu one from the terminal? | 07:44 |
| taglass | Spaz_Dynamic: java -fullversion | 07:44 |
| Logan_ | !ubuntuone | Flynsarmy | 07:44 |
| ubottu | Flynsarmy: Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone | 07:44 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | taglass: 1.6.2_22-b22 | 07:45 |
| taglass | Spaz_Dynamic: although with a fresh install you should be runnin openjdk I believe | 07:45 |
| aetaric | hello everyone i'm on 11.04 and unity won't start on supported card | 07:45 |
| === svip_ is now known as svip | ||
| amit | aetaric: 11.04 is fake :) | 07:46 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | ..oh, wait, just noticed I am in #ubuntu... I am technically running kubuntu... >.> | 07:46 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | <.< | 07:46 |
| amit | ? | 07:46 |
| taglass | Spaz_Dynamic: yeah hmm I dunno man. It should work. You could always try sun java | 07:46 |
| taglass | Spaz_Dynamic: probably better for minecraft anyways. | 07:47 |
| ror | my PC completely froze about 12 hours into do-dist-upgrade D: | 07:47 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | taglass: probably. is Sun java in the repos, or do I need to get it from them direct? | 07:47 |
| taglass | Spaz_Dynamic: It should be in the repos if you enable the partners repo | 07:47 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | taglass: alright, thanks. | 07:48 |
| Logan_ | !java | Spaz_Dynamic | 07:48 |
| ubottu | Spaz_Dynamic: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 07:48 |
| Scarra3 | Is the ubuntu 11.04 search box suppose to take up the whole screen | 07:48 |
| deneb | ok..i installed gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.04 . everything's ok except the auto login......could anyone tell me how to fix the auto login? thanks | 07:48 |
| Logan_ | Ooh, that factoid needs to be updated. | 07:48 |
| Logan_ | deneb: The Gnome 3 PPA is not supported here. | 07:48 |
| Logan_ | (if I'm not mistaken) | 07:49 |
| mello | is it recommended to throw away unity & install gnome-shell? Or does it not work optimal on natty? | 07:49 |
| CodeWar | thank God I m not th eonly one thinking about throwing away unity | 07:49 |
| mello | rofl | 07:49 |
| Scarra3 | Is the ubuntu 11.04 search box suppose to take up the whole screen | 07:50 |
| Logan_ | mello: No need to install - just choose the Ubuntu Classic environment at login. | 07:50 |
| Logan_ | !repeat | Scarra3 | 07:50 |
| ubottu | Scarra3: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 07:50 |
| yi`zhi | wooo | 07:50 |
| aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | hello, all. Now, I'm using debian 6.0. But I want to try ubuntu11.04. How can I install it from my hard disk? | 07:50 |
| mello | Logan_ that would just give me gnome 2, with gnome-shell I mean gnome 3 | 07:50 |
| taglass | Scarra3: probably depends upon the size of yoru monitor. Ity doesn't fill a 24" | 07:50 |
| Logan_ | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: Download the ISO and burn it to a CD | 07:50 |
| Logan_ | !gnome3 | mello | 07:50 |
| ubottu | mello: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 07:50 |
| Logan_ | *DVD | 07:50 |
| Scarra3 | taglass: its a laptop | 07:50 |
| talntid | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, double click "install ubuntu 11.04" under "distros" menu. | 07:51 |
| mello | ubottu thanks | 07:51 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 07:51 |
| yi`zhi | how do i make it so that i'm asked for a password every time i sudo? | 07:51 |
| yi`zhi | that seems to have been gone when i restarted into 11 | 07:51 |
| thegoodcushion | So where do I get help for 10.04? Is that here also? | 07:51 |
| Logan_ | !lucid | thegoodcushion | 07:51 |
| ubottu | thegoodcushion: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 | 07:51 |
| taglass | mello: I wouldn't honestly at this point gnome-shell and unity both feel incomplete and neither seems to have the upper hand in functionality. | 07:51 |
| Scarra3 | taglass: The screen size is 1366 x 768 | 07:51 |
| aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | Logan_: No, I don't have a cd-rw | 07:51 |
| thegoodcushion | Logan_: Yes but is this the right channel for help with it? | 07:51 |
| silvery | I have 10.10 and 11.04 CD both 32x. I want to upgrade my 10.10 with this CD and don't have 'Upgrade Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04' option when run CD. Any suggestions? | 07:52 |
| Logan_ | thegoodcushion: Yes - it is supported until... (let me check) | 07:52 |
| deneb | Logan_: what do you mean? not the right channel for gnome 3 - ubuntu? | 07:52 |
| thegoodcushion | Logan_: 3 years for the desktop | 07:52 |
| mello | taglass: I agree to some degree.. except that I can still do my work in gnome3, whilst unity is making that impossible. | 07:52 |
| Logan_ | thegoodcushion: yeah :P | 07:52 |
| aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | talntid: How? where to click? | 07:52 |
| thegoodcushion | Logan_: Well I'm about to install it baby | 07:52 |
| talntid | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, on the left side. :) | 07:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | silvery, you can only use the Alternative CD for upgrade, NOT LiveCDs | 07:52 |
| talntid | gnight all. | 07:52 |
| mello | taglass: if i want to be productive i'd better just get another distro.. | 07:52 |
| Logan_ | thegoodcushion: April 2013 for the LTS | 07:53 |
| thegoodcushion | Logan_: yep | 07:53 |
| Logan_ | deneb: it's a third-party, unsupported PPA | 07:53 |
| narf_ | Are you guys enjoying this new look and feel, because i kind of think its the most buggy piece of software I have seen in some time. | 07:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | mello, debian is an option... | 07:53 |
| Logan_ | !ot | narf_ | 07:53 |
| ubottu | narf_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 07:53 |
| ror | what's happened to the system > preferences menu? I can't find it now :( | 07:53 |
| taglass | mello: you could always just use gnome classic for this dev cycle and hope gnome3/unity are better later this year. | 07:53 |
| lgp171188 | Hi, there was an issue with Nvidia proprietary drivers and plymouth in older releases. Doesn't seem to be fully fixed in natty either. On selecting Ubuntu in grub, there appears a purple screen for some time, then a low resolution plymouth screen appears for a second and then a black screen before gdm appears. Any way to fix/workaround this annoying bug? | 07:53 |
| aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | talntid: But I'm using debian now. I have only a alternate iso for ubuntu11.04. I think I have to boot from this iso to install it. | 07:53 |
| thegoodcushion | narf_: Are you talking about Unity? | 07:54 |
| silvery | ZykoticK9 : Sorry but where i can get this Alternative CD and is it official too? | 07:54 |
| deneb | Logan_: yes but i have a problem and i want to solve it and i need help....where i can get this help? | 07:54 |
| Phil_Shapiro | Can I ask a question that you all must have heard a million times already? | 07:54 |
| Logan_ | !alternate | silvery | 07:54 |
| ubottu | silvery: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 07:54 |
| narf_ | thegoodcushion, i'm natty and the default launcher it uses... | 07:54 |
| Logan_ | deneb: probably irc.gnome.org #gnome3 | 07:54 |
| silvery | thank you, everyone! | 07:54 |
| thegoodcushion | Imagine if all the Linux developers spent all their time working on the one distro? All that effort put into one distro, Linux would really be something | 07:54 |
| Logan_ | thegoodcushion: it's good to have variety | 07:54 |
| taglass | thegoodcushion: It would probably suck.. competition is good :) | 07:55 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | hrm, are double quotes ( " ) valid characters for in directory names? | 07:55 |
| aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | Could somebody give me some links or some suggestions about install ubuntu alternate iso from hard disk under debian? | 07:55 |
| mello | ZykoticK9: i wouldn't choose debian as a desktop env | 07:55 |
| lgp171188 | mello: Gnome shell and unity aren't as mature and hence aren't as customizable as Gnome 2.x. So for now I am sticking to gnome 2.x waiting for gnome-shell/unity to mature a lot more and become fully customizable as gnome 2.x | 07:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | thegoodcushion, you don't understand linux. Choice is a good thing. | 07:55 |
| FFIF | #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:55 |
| ror | the new interface is horrible D: it does that "mac" thing of having all the application menus in a separate bar, but most annoyingly I can't seem to move the launcher panel to the top? What's with not being able to create as many panels as one wishes? | 07:56 |
| lgp171188 | mello: you have a choice to use gnome 2.x without having to install anything extra | 07:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | mello, good thing there are lots of options out there ;) see above ^^ | 07:56 |
| mello | lgp171188 what should i choose if im sick of gnome2 atm (its getting boring) & i don't want kde? (or give me one good reason for kde) | 07:56 |
| Logan_ | mello: XFCE? | 07:56 |
| thegoodcushion | The one thing I didn't like about debian was hte icons | 07:56 |
| elad | zachgretzinger, the 64 bit didnt work... im getting the following error...The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno 5] Input/output error This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk | 07:56 |
| taglass | mello: ratpoison | 07:56 |
| mello | Logan_ this would be achieved just with apt-get install xfce4? But im not sure if this installs the last version 4.8 | 07:56 |
| red2kic | thegoodcushion: Funny. You don't like the icons. CHANGE THEM. | 07:56 |
| thebigham | How do you install ubuntu 11.04 to unallocated space? | 07:56 |
| lgp171188 | mello: then go for gnome-shell or try out different environments like xfce/lxde | 07:56 |
| joako | Is it possible to install Ubuntu inside VMWare ESXi? I am getting an error it cant mount the CDROM | 07:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | red2kic, that's way too complicated ;) | 07:57 |
| lgp171188 | mello: or KDE | 07:57 |
| Logan_ | mello: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 07:57 |
| red2kic | ZykoticK9: For Gnome 3? | 07:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | red2kic, i'm just joking | 07:57 |
| elad | zachgretzinger, by the way, im installing from a usb, but when i tried to install from a cd, i get the same error | 07:57 |
| solofight | people i wanted a ftp server so installed ftpd using apt-get, now how do i check whether its running or not ? | 07:57 |
| Logan_ | !vmware | joako | 07:57 |
| ubottu | joako: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 07:57 |
| neo_ | who was installed 11.04? | 07:57 |

| Phil_Shapiro | Has anyone here managed to get Ubuntu to network with windows 7? | 07:58 |
| red2kic | ZykoticK9: Ooo -- But it is complicated! (Especially if you make your own!) | 07:58 |
| solofight | help please | 07:58 |
| zachgretzinger | That's really strange | 07:58 |
| zachgretzinger | pm me | 07:58 |
| mello | lgp171188 let me google lxde | 07:58 |
| elad | braiam, i tried, and i tried the 64 bit version too | 07:58 |
| zachgretzinger | elad pm me | 07:58 |
| solofight | Phil_Shapiro, using samba ? | 07:58 |
| shrys | Will upgrading to Natty from Maverick affect any of my installed applications ? | 07:58 |
| Logan_ | mello: Lubuntu is a distro with LXDE based on Ubuntu, but it's not officially supported by Canonical | 07:58 |
| Braiam | elad: check the memory | 07:58 |
| red2kic | mello: awesome, dwn, e17 | 07:58 |
| Logan_ | shrys: it shouldn't, unless the devs haven't provided newer versions for natty | 07:58 |
| Phil_Shapiro | Solo: I installed it, but I'm stuck in the PW authentication loop | 07:59 |
| elad | braiam, what do you mean? | 07:59 |

| thebigham | How can I install ubuntu 11.04 to unallocated space dualboot with win7? | 07:59 |
| vega | is it really so that natty ships with a stone-age lirc (0.8.7) that is NOT compatible with nattys lirc kernel drivers? | 07:59 |
| Braiam | elad: in the ubuntu cd boot is a option to check the memory | 07:59 |
| mello | lgp171188: thanks. i might install xfce for now and tweak it.. i just want something that is not counterproductive | 07:59 |
| lgp171188 | mello: hmmm, go ahead try things and use the one that suits you :) | 08:00 |
| elad | braiam, oh at boot? | 08:00 |

| elad | braiam, and what should this tell me, exactly? im sorry, im very new to this. | 08:01 |
| taglass | solofight: netstat -ltp should tell you if anything is listening on the ftp port. | 08:01 |
| lo0m | hi, has anyone succesfully migrated from virtualbox to HDD? using dd? ubuntu 10.10 btw | 08:01 |
| paul | hi | 08:02 |

| Grimdin | 11.04 problem, i dont use unity, so i use classic but my desktop visual effect are all missing, howto re-enable them? | 08:02 |
| econnell | lo0m: it's doable, but it's incredibly difficult | 08:03 |
| lo0m | Grimdin: i believe unity can be switched off in Compiz settings.. | 08:03 |
| paul | can I sudo-apt get dropbearkey some how? | 08:03 |
| elad | braiam, ill check it now & let you know in a few minutes. thanks | 08:03 |

| Grimdin | lo0m, i have switched unity off, but there is not visual effects in classic mode... | 08:03 |
| Logan_ | Grimdin: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 08:03 |
| Logan_ | Grimdin: That will let you change all the visual effects in Ubuntu Classic | 08:04 |
| ZeiP | I upgraded to 11.04, and after reboot my computer doesn't launch Xorg. It shows all the boot messages (though it shouldn't), the last message being "Starting uptime daemon: uptimed" | 08:04 |

| sltPoison | had do you change the styles? | 08:04 |
| Logan_ | *matter | 08:04 |
| joako | Logan_: No. I install VMWare ESXi Hypervisor on the server, then I create a virtual machine to which I want to install Ubuntu | 08:04 |
| Grimdin | Logan_, i have installed it, and it says enabled lots of things, but nothing seems to be happening | 08:04 |
| elad | braiam, it cant be the HD. its only ubuntu that gives me an error, Kubuntu installed perfectly | 08:04 |
| Robert__ | the update manager is not letting me upgrade | 08:04 |
| Scarra3 | should I install the ATI drivers or just stick with the ones that comes with 11.04? | 08:05 |
| joako | When I boot the Ubuntu CD inside the virtual machine I get the message "(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: | 08:05 |

| Braiam | elad: the HD can have corrupted sectors on the part that you try to install ubuntu | 08:05 |
| lo0m | econnell: what about a fresh install? then dd ? or migrate only /home ? i don't want to lose all settings (home dotfiles) and hooks in /var/www | 08:05 |
| Robert__ | i need help upgrading | 08:05 |
| mello | Scarra3 install ati driver on your own risk! it depends on your computer.. | 08:05 |
| elad | braiam, i wiped the partition 30 minutes ago... | 08:06 |
| mello | Scarra3 on my pc when using ATI driver, compositing doesn't work anymore, which is a key feature used in unity compiz | 08:06 |
| mello | Scarra3 in other words: it might be that your compiz is screwed | 08:06 |
| econnell | lo0m: if windows is already on the machine, ubuntu's installer should recommend a resize | 08:06 |
| Scarra3 | Its a sony vaio and my graphics card is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 | 08:06 |
| Grimdin | mello, i have same problems on nvidia driver (latest version) | 08:07 |
| deeeed | hi | 08:07 |
| Grimdin | compositing does not work | 08:07 |
| mello | Scarra3: I have ATI mobility Radeon HD 3650; I would recommend just trying. Go back if something feels sloppy for you | 08:07 |
| Robert__ | hate to be a bother but im having some trouble upgrading | 08:07 |
| econnell | if you want to create a vm from the disk, that's a whole different matter... and the process varies based on your virtualization solution | 08:07 |
| joako | How can I download .torrent of ubutntu? I think the HTTP download is corrupt | 08:07 |
| mello | Grimdin: good to know; i thought this problem only existed with ATI | 08:07 |
| Braiam | elad: there're another cause, your CD are all broken or your cd-w was defect | 08:07 |
| Braiam | has* | 08:08 |
| mello | joako: get a torrent program like vuze, transmission µtorrent, and download it. | 08:08 |

| deeeed | do you know about compatibility for installating ubuntu on a macbook pro ? | 08:08 |
| Braiam | mello: utorrent? closed-source? | 08:08 |
| mello | Grimdin: i don't have a clue.. i had this problem before, not just on natty. I think it is a driver related problem | 08:08 |
| red2kic | !torrents | joako | 08:08 |
| ubottu | joako: Natty can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/natty/desktop/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/natty/server/ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com/ | 08:08 |
| deeeed | do you know if the drivers support all the hardware ? | 08:08 |
| elad | braiam, my CD? im booting off a USB | 08:08 |
| mello | Braiam: I am suggesting it because he might be on windows, and that program is easier | 08:08 |
| Blue1 | paul: why not just rename the directory first, then start over. | 08:08 |
| lo0m | econnell: i'll propably just trash Win7 and do a fresh 11.04 install, use this VM there and setup everything by hand.. thx anyway | 08:09 |
| Scarra3 | How do I stop my computer from locking after a certain amount of time? | 08:09 |
| nicklo | Is there an explanation as to what the mac version ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64+mac.iso is? | 08:09 |
| paul | Blue1: clever, thank you | 08:09 |
| Braiam | mello: ok then | 08:09 |
| Blue1 | paul: always have a path back, to the way it was, before you messed it up. | 08:09 |
| econnell | lo0m: if it matters.. that's what i did | 08:09 |
| joako | mello, No insults but is this the n00b channel? | 08:09 |

| keruom_ | hi, I a but confused with linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless packages. I need to have at least 2.6.37-2.6.32-31-generic, where the 2.6.37 is important | 08:09 |
| jooseyjoose | thanks taglass ! | 08:09 |
| Obamanation | anyone know of an applet similar to "CPU Graph" that works on 11.04? | 08:09 |
| taglass | jooseyjoose: that should be able to break it up for you | 08:09 |
| Braiam | elad: broken usb, then? has you tried redownload the image file iso | 08:10 |
| mello | joako: you weren't expecting from canonical here were you? I'm just trying to help. | 08:10 |
| nicklo | I'd like to try Natty on this MacBook but wondering which iso to download. | 08:10 |
| elad | braiam, tried a cd too... | 08:10 |
| keruom_ | but i want to have automatic updates working, so I would like to install 'linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.38-lucid-generic' as the package desription suggests... | 08:10 |
| lo0m | Obamanation: dual boot is not an option.. i use linux for years, it was just my past employer that was hooked to M$ so much he forced me to use it... | 08:10 |
| keruom_ | but there seems to be no such package on lucid | 08:10 |
| Blue1 | keruom_: this may/may not help: http://pkill-9.com/getting-wireless-connect-to-work-for-acer-aspire-on-ubuntu/ | 08:10 |
| Braiam | elad: both same results? | 08:10 |
| red2kic | nicklo: I imagine it is the one with -mac- in the filename you mentioned above. | 08:10 |
| joako | I know what .torrent is, but put into google "ubuntu torrent" and I get this: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download ERROR 404 | 08:11 |
| atharva | unable to start Synaptic Unable to get exclusive lock | 08:11 |
| atharva | This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first. | 08:11 |
| elad | braiam, exact same results\ | 08:11 |
| Obamanation | lo0m: i apologize if i'm making you repeat yourself (just joined a minute ago) but how come it's not an option? | 08:11 |
| Braiam | elad: then is a corrupted iso what you have | 08:11 |
| nicklo | red2kic: Yeah I'd presumed so. I was curious where the info is on what that means | 08:11 |
| mello | joako: that was not really in your description; from what you said it sounded like you didn't know what torrents are.. | 08:11 |
| nicklo | if I try download direct from ubuntu.com I don't get the mac version | 08:11 |
| red2kic | nicklo: "This image is adjusted to work properly on Mac systems" | 08:11 |
| nicklo | there is also the alternative mac version | 08:11 |
| elad | braiam, both the 64 bit & 32 bits that ive tried? i dled it directly from ubuntu | 08:11 |
| red2kic | Robert__: Talk here. | 08:11 |
| nicklo | red2kic: where did you get that info? | 08:11 |

| mello | joako http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#bt | 08:12 |
| lo0m | Obamanation: as i dont want it.. i dont need Win.. inside VirtualBox i made a perfect working setup.. i was just finding a way to transfer it to HDD (so it would be the only OS) | 08:12 |
| nicklo | red2kic: excellent, thanks! | 08:12 |
| thegoodcushion | So here's a thought: Why does the distro fit exactly on one CD? Does the base install consist of packages that will fit on one CD? Would Ubuntu ever distribute a release that needed compulsory download or burning to DVD? | 08:12 |
| Braiam | elad: check the hashsum or download via torrent | 08:12 |
| red2kic | nicklo: Np. | 08:12 |
| keruom_ | Blue1: thx, but the problem is somehow different :-) I am missing the linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.38-lucid-generic package in lucid | 08:12 |

| Robert__ | red2kic can you help | 08:13 |
| SoulRaven | where i put the if_ep_load="YES" in ubuntu server | 08:13 |
| Tm_T | thegoodcushion: it fits exactly to one cd as with every release there's fine balancing on what will be included because of the limits of CD as medium. And atleast for now the plan is to keep doing that way | 08:13 |
| Magnusson | heroprimeremix: cd /home/ | 08:13 |
| thegoodcushion | red2kic: so are all releases limited by that size? | 08:13 |
| ror | booting into ubuntu-classic option I get no launchers, panels etc, I can't launch anything :( | 08:13 |
| Obamanation | lo0m: ooh okay, yeah i may have a difference of opinion on one count, but anyhow, is it windows or ubuntu that you set up in VM | 08:13 |
| red2kic | thegoodcushion: You want to install Ubuntu using Iomega Zip Disk or Floppy disk? Be my guest. | 08:13 |
| Magnusson | heroprimeremix: cd /home/(username) sorry | 08:14 |
| red2kic | Robert__: What is the problem? | 08:14 |
| thegoodcushion | red2kic: well what about using DVD? | 08:14 |
| thegoodcushion | red2kic: Or USB key would be possible too | 08:14 |
| thegoodcushion | See in future we could say that the release is limited to 4 gigs compressed | 08:14 |

| linuxuz3r | i missed the release party | 08:15 |
| red2kic | Robert__: I see. I hate upgrades. I always find myself doing clean installations over upgrades. | 08:15 |
| Obamanation | lo0m: perfect. install apt-to-cd (or something like that) and it make a burnable image of your installation that you can do a "fresh" install with | 08:15 |
| Phil_Shapiro | Anyone here, please...is there a solution to the problem of loging into a Windows 7 network? | 08:15 |

| lo0m | Obamanation: oh, thanks.. i thought AptOnCd can just store package information (what was installed).. anyway, i could copy just the dotfiles than manually.. thanx - will go that way | 08:17 |
| Obamanation | lo0m: anytime :) | 08:18 |
| ror | Is there anything I need to add if I remove unity? | 08:18 |
| red2kic | Robert__: ##windows might be the proper channel (I'm not sure how to deal with mbr/grub). | 08:18 |
| Phil_Shapiro | ubottu: ok thanks | 08:18 |
| Obamanation | lo0m: it will create an image of your 10.10 but you can just do the upgrade process afterwards. | 08:18 |
| Robert__ | red2kic__:mbr/grub? | 08:18 |
| red2kic | Robert__: Windows use whatever they use. Linux use grub. (for bootloader). | 08:19 |
| red2kic | !info grub | Robert__ | 08:19 |
| ubottu | Robert__: grub (source: grub): GRand Unified Bootloader (Legacy version). In component main, is optional. Version 0.97-29ubuntu61 (natty), package size 278 kB, installed size 912 kB (Only available for i386 kfreebsd-i386 hurd-i386 amd64 kfreebsd-amd64 lpia all) | 08:19 |
| Obamanation | anyone know how to remove an applet from the panel that won't open a context menu? | 08:20 |
| red2kic | Robert__: When you start up your computer, the bios do its stuffs first -- then grub does it stuffs. | 08:20 |
| Braiam | red2kic: i think that is grub2 | 08:20 |
| Robert__ | red2kic__:oh ok so how do i delete ubuntu | 08:20 |
| red2kic | Robert__: You can delete it using liveCD (delete the partition) -- but I don't know how you would deal with grub. You should ask in ##windows about the mbr question. | 08:21 |
| Obamanation | Robert__; red2kic: you can also overwrite the PC bios with grub (-_o) not recommended unless you know what you're doing | 08:21 |

| Robert__ | red2kic__; Obamanation: oh my gosh why is all of this so complicated | 08:23 |
| ddddddddddd | how can i under KDE start up the command /etc/init.d//ccpd start | 08:23 |
| ddddddddddd | it should runned as autostart | 08:23 |
| Obamanation | ddddddddddd: kde is best suited for learning how linux works and how to develop for it | 08:23 |
| red2kic | Robert__: It isn't. You can remove/install grub using linux systems -- the problem is that how do you install to the first sector of HDD with Windows? (Usually that is being done when you install Windows for first time). | 08:24 |
| tuxy_ | hello i am having a problem setting a unique mount in 11.04 ubuntu | 08:24 |
| ddddddddddd | how can i under KDE start up the command /etc/init.d//ccpd start | 08:24 |
| ddddddddddd | it should runned as autostart | 08:24 |
| red2kic | Robert__: So you don't want to reinstall Windows (Fine -- but how do you install the boot process for Windows?) Ask in ##windows | 08:24 |
| taglass | Robert__: http://www.ehow.com/how_4836283_repair-mbr-windows.html | 08:24 |
| red2kic | Robert__: One choice is to leave it alone (grub). | 08:24 |
| Obamanation | ddddddddddd: have you tried entering it from grub's shell? | 08:25 |

| tuxy_ | why cannot i not name my own point on the installer ? | 08:25 |

| Blue1 | red2kic: ahh ok | 08:25 |
| ddddddddddd | Obamanation no i meant as systemstart | 08:25 |

| ejv | appearances!??? | 08:37 |
| atavist | i have 2 computer running with ubuntu, have shared some folders -- neither computer can see the other shares when browsing through nautilus. any thoughts? | 08:37 |
| ramshot | ror: I found one page saying that middle mouse button could work, but for me it doesn't, try it if you haven't. | 08:37 |
| heroprimeremix | ejv: it dosent work | 08:37 |
| Blue1 | listpi: http://pkill-9.com/removable-usb-devices-and-fstab-settings/ | 08:37 |
| ror | ramshot: that did work for me, thanks | 08:37 |
| red2kic | ror: Use Ctrl + N in Chromium? :o | 08:37 |
| ramshot | Okay then, how do I get my middle mouse button to work, anyone? :D | 08:37 |
| ejv | ror, the point is that no one has any interest in what your experience was like in windows since this is ubuntu support. | 08:38 |
| Blue1 | atavist: can they ping each other? | 08:38 |
| AnySocal | hello ubuntu users | 08:38 |
| AMAG | nvidia driver help on 11.04, anyone? | 08:38 |
| AnySocal | how is everyone? | 08:38 |
| ror | ejv: I was just pointing out there seems to be a lot of regression this release to make things more like windows or mac, when ubuntu was better | 08:38 |
| atavist | Blue1: i'm coming from windows, what's the equivalent of ipconfig to find my IP? | 08:38 |
| * Blue1 is waiting for the royal bemoaning to start | 08:38 | |
| ramshot | I'm great thanks, but I'd be better if my middle mouse button worked :) | 08:38 |
| AMAG | atavist:ifconfig | 08:39 |
| Blue1 | atavist: ifconfig | 08:39 |
| zachgretzinger | atavist www.ip-adress.com | 08:39 |
| ejv | ror: i believe gnome should also be available as a fall back, should unity not work as intended | 08:39 |
| AnySocal | lol middle button is so useful | 08:39 |
| ramshot | ror: Btw, afaik it's possible to easily switch to the old gnome configuration still would should be about the same experience as 10.04 | 08:39 |
| ror | ejv: how? It's not working for me, even "ubuntu-classic" isnt' working for me | 08:39 |
| === david is now known as Guest13493 | ||
| ramshot | From the login screen afaik | 08:39 |
| ror | I'd happily switch back, but trying to uninstall unity I got "also need to uninstall ubuntu-desktop" which worried me | 08:40 |
| AnySocal | well just wanted to say hey | 08:40 |
| AnySocal | have a good one | 08:40 |
| folivora | ror: Yes old Gnome is fallback.. If your gfxcard is unable to work with new 3d env.... | 08:40 |
| === Lorthirk`ZNC is now known as Lorthirk | ||
| atavist | Blue1: yes they can ping each other | 08:40 |
| AMAG | I upgraded a test machine first. Glad I did, since the test machine is now totally unusable | 08:40 |
| Blue1 | atavist: so you are doing a samba share then? | 08:40 |
| ror | folivora: my gfxcard isn't at fault? And if I choose "ubuntu classic" I just get my desktop background and a cursor, and no panels/menus etc | 08:40 |
| Magnusson | isn't there a command to cd back to your last working directory? | 08:40 |
| red2kic | Magnusson: "cd ..?" (parent directory) | 08:41 |
| AMAG | ror: I saw a blog or something about that today. I think your "classic" problem may be common. | 08:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | Magnusson, cd - | 08:41 |
| Browser | Buenas. | 08:41 |
| Blue1 | Magnusson: you can cd ../ which will but you one directory higher in the chain | 08:41 |
| atavist | Blue1: I believe so. I right clicked on the folder, enabled sharing, it installed what I thought was samba to enable it... then later I also tried apt-get install samba4 on both systems | 08:41 |
| Blue1 | Magnusson: or cd ~ to go to your home directory | 08:41 |
| ejv | ror: worked perfectly for me, i selected ubuntu classic no effects, because well... i hate effects ;) | 08:41 |
| red2kic | ZykoticK9: I learned something new! | 08:41 |
| vega | Blue1: that can be done with just "cd" | 08:42 |
| === andrew_ is now known as Guest94067 | ||
| ramshot | This is just weird... middle button seems to launch a new instance... like 1/3 of the times I try it | 08:42 |
| Blue1 | atavist: this may/may not help: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/1060-how-to-configure-samba-using-a-graphical-interface-in-ubuntu | 08:42 |
| ejv | honestly, outside of unity, this new version is anti-climatic.... | 08:42 |
| Magnusson | nah i'm not looking to move 1 level up, i could be nuts but i think i remember years ago being able to for example cd /etc/X11, then cd /mnt/cdrom, then use another command to get back to cd /etc/X11 (just an example off the top of head) | 08:43 |
| ghost1551 | ej | 08:43 |
| red2kic | Magnusson: "cd -" ? | 08:43 |
| Starminn | ejv: Well, they dumped OpenOffice and Rhythmbox. (And now use what I've been using for months, so I'm pleased) | 08:43 |
| Blue1 | Magnusson: cd ../ will do that | 08:43 |
| ghost1551 | abe seljak | 08:43 |
| Magnusson | Blue1>oh ya? cool thanks :) | 08:43 |
| ror | It just annoys me how Canonical are such clowns these days. Ever since the "megabug" over the naming of Ubuntu One, they've acted in their interests only. For example they just added a load of their apps to my launcher without asking, they now have a launcher you can't configure, you can't even move the panel to the bottom of the screen; Window switching used to be easy, by scrolling the mousewheel over the panel, you can't do | 08:43 |
| ror | that now. I guess the "solution" is to go to debian, but I've been using Ubuntu since edgy and I *liked* it. | 08:43 |
| ejv | Starminn: banshee? agreed, been using for years via the PPA | 08:43 |
| ghost1551 | abe angel | 08:43 |
| Starminn | ejv: Yep. I thinkt hat the only exciting thing for the version itself (other than Unity, of course) is they dumped OpenOffice which is a pretty bold move. | 08:44 |
| isbric | how do i check the fifo buffer limit? | 08:44 |
| red2kic | ror: Heh. You can always go with Ubuntu minimal and install barebone gnome environment. | 08:44 |
| ejv | Starminn: i don't really know the difference betwen open and libre office, but it sounds merely like licensing... | 08:44 |
| red2kic | Starminn: OpenOffice isn't open anymore, yah? | 08:44 |
| red2kic | libre/free. | 08:45 |
| ror | But I don't want minimal, I like all the effects and fancy stuff, but they've gone from applications where you can configure every last detail to applications where the application forces *your* behaviour | 08:45 |
| Blue1 | Starminn: dunno good question -but libreoffice is not ready for primetime, imho | 08:45 |
| mang0 | right, I'm back. red2kic what were you saying about unplugging one of the hard drives? | 08:45 |
| red2kic | Blue1: Libreoffice works for me just fine? :o | 08:45 |
| ror | that and not being able to scroll through open windows with the mouse wheel is horribly worse for me, it's the only way I used to switch windows | 08:45 |
| AMAG | I do not like how I just clicked restart from a logged-in user and it just returned to the login screen | 08:45 |
| vega | ror: too much trying to mimick mac-style ... this release definitely seems to be at testing stage | 08:46 |
| Blue1 | red2kic: ymmv applies | 08:46 |
| Starminn | ejv: Libre is a fork of Open. They didn't like how things were ebing handled so they formed LibreOffice, | 08:46 |
| Rehan | is there a way to torrent all the updates with the ISO instead of sitting here waiting for it to download from Canonical? | 08:46 |
| marioczek | hello all | 08:46 |
| Blue1 | howdy marioczek tex | 08:46 |
| Starminn | Rehan: You can upgrade with the AlternateCD I believe. | 08:46 |
| red2kic | mang0: I'm not sure what you wanted to do. Dualboot. Just grab your mama's cable. | 08:47 |
| Rehan | Starminn: doing a fresh install | 08:47 |
| marioczek | i have some question about root | 08:47 |
| mang0 | right D:< | 08:47 |
| Blue1 | marioczek: ok | 08:47 |
| Starminn | Rehan: Then just grab it from the torrent the link to, or find one on a torrent site as I'm sure one's already there. Normal LiveCD | 08:47 |
| Starminn | !root | marioczek | 08:47 |
| ubottu | marioczek: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 08:47 |
| marioczek | i try create a server on ubuntu 11.04 | 08:47 |
| Oday | can i do "wc" on a .odt document? | 08:48 |
| ejv | if you can push it to stdout, sure | 08:48 |
| Rehan | Starminn: i already have the liveCD iso, put it on a USB, installing from it currently, but its installing so many things slowly | 08:48 |
| marioczek | whe i try create a folder in var/www its write im not have access | 08:48 |
| mang0 | red2kic I will take the cable, but I can't install, as Ubuntu LiveCD wont actually detect my drives.... | 08:48 |
| daxt | hi guys , i installed 11.04 in my HDD parallel to 10.10 Lucid , but 11.04 is not listed in the boot menu , How do i fix it ? | 08:48 |
| Oday | i can :) | 08:48 |
| maxmahem | Okay, somehow after I upgraded to 11.04 I broke GRUB. I've booted to my install via a SuperGRUB USB, but how do I go about fixing my grub setup? | 08:48 |
| red2kic | mang0: I see. You might want to try alt. | 08:49 |
| red2kic | !alt | mang0 | 08:49 |
| ubottu | mang0: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 08:49 |
| red2kic | mang0: (wider range of hardware) -- Not sure if that applies -- but it might. | 08:49 |

| mang0 | ooooh, an alternitive | 08:49 |
| Grimdin | another problem after 11.04 upgrade, laptop, nvidia, classic desktop, i use 2 monitors and external monitor is my primary monitor, now i noticed on laptop monitor that it has global menu enabled and its missing window controls, etc, but on external monitor i have window controls and no global menu but no desktop visuals | 08:49 |

| roma99 | i just mount 'ubuntu 11.4' by ISO file on my computer so now how can i upgrade my ubuntu (10.10) to new version? | 08:49 |
| red2kic | mang0: Also, unplug the HDDs -- Lessen the chance of accidental, I suppose. | 08:49 |
| marioczek | siema | 08:49 |
| red2kic | mang0: (When it's off). | 08:49 |
| daxt | hey Blue1 thanks for quick reply ! | 08:49 |
| mang0 | k | 08:49 |
| mang0 | right, thankyou red2kic :D | 08:50 |
| Blue1 | roma99: I've had problems upgrading - it is genrally (for me) better to backup /etc/ and /home/ and then do a fresh install. | 08:50 |
| roma99 | there must be some ways to upgrade from iso files? | 08:50 |
| Braiam | roma99: using the alternative CD | 08:51 |
| roma99 | you mean burn the ISO on a CD? | 08:51 |

| daxt | hey Blue1 That did not help :( | 08:52 |
| Blue1 | daxt: :-( | 08:52 |

| daxt | yes Blue1 | 08:52 |
| roma99 | red2kic: no desktop folder in ISO file! | 08:53 |
| Blue1 | daxt: what do you have installed? what shows up, what does not? | 08:53 |
| red2kic | roma99: What iso do you have? | 08:53 |
| daxt | i see the 10.10 with many kernal versions and my old school Win XP | 08:53 |
| roma99 | red2kic: ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso >> just download from ubuntu.com!!!! | 08:54 |
| Blue1 | daxt: okay what does NOT show up? | 08:54 |
| red2kic | roma99: Right -- That's the wrong one. | 08:54 |
| daxt | ubuntu 11.04 entry | 08:54 |

| red2kic | !alt | roma99 | 08:54 |
| Blue1 | daxt: I just downloaded the iso for 11.04 so I have no experience with that (yet) - maybe someone else can assist? | 08:55 |
| roma99 | red2kic: so what's the diffrent between them? | 08:55 |
| red2kic | ubottu: You fail me. :\ | 08:55 |

| red2kic | Braiam: ubottu still holds a grudge against me since that night at the lake. | 09:00 |
| red2kic | :( | 09:00 |
| maxmahem | Rehan: I'm booting off the installed system now (11.4 running fine even!) via SuperGrub. | 09:00 |
| maxmahem | But I can't seem to fix it. | 09:00 |
| thegoodcushion | Hi everyone. I've connected an HP Deskjet 2000 to Ubuntu via USB. Ubuntu isn't virtualized, it's running on the metal now. I print a test page and Ubuntu thinks it's completed but nothing comes out of the printer. What do I do? Are there proprietary drivers that I should use? | 09:00 |
| Braiam | !gnome3 | Tanvir | 09:00 |
| ubottu | Tanvir: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 09:00 |
| zvacet | maxmahem: reinstall it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling from LiveCD | 09:00 |
| maxmahem | sudo grub-install doesn't want to work. It Complains: Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionless disk or to a partition. This is a BAD idea.. | 09:00 |
| celestial | hi every one i have a problem i lost power half way through my upgrade to 11.04 from maverick and ive tryed to use the disk to upgrade it but it says i already have 11.04 and i cant get the system to boot up even in recovery have a lot of stuff on there and cant afford to lose it any help would be appriciated | 09:01 |
| red2kic | maxmahem: Usually you point it to a hard drive. | 09:01 |
| jiltdil | hi 11.04 is good :) | 09:01 |
| Rehan | maxmahem: in liveCD, open terminal then type sudo -i | 09:01 |
| alkisg | Any way to sync evolution "tasks" with any app for android? | 09:01 |
| Rehan | maxmahem: then: mount /dev/sda5 (sda5 is where your Ubuntu is, change as needed) | 09:01 |
| Rehan | maxmahem: then: grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda | 09:02 |
| red2kic | celestial: You borked the installation. Grab a LiveCD -- Mount your hard drives, backup /home/ and /etc/ -- Go with a clean installation. | 09:02 |
| Tanvir | Braiam, okay, thanks. Another help, how to include shortcuts and other options (like weather) in panel? Also, I miss the bottom panel and the minimized windows there, who to get those? | 09:02 |
| berkes | What is the shortcut key for the new unity menu? Not the bar, but the search that pops up when I click the ubuntu logo? | 09:02 |
| michaels | hi! I updated from 10.10 to 11.04, now my installation is broken (because during update process an error occured). Is there some way to report this to cannonical (with logfiles) so that they maybe can fix this problem, or does this make no sense. later I will simply reinstall | 09:02 |
| yi`zhi | hi everyone! i'm on narwhal right now. things are looking pretty good except for zeitgeist. will i be able to remove it without incurring penalties? | 09:02 |
| Rehan | maxmahem: then reboot and it should find your proper entries, then you can go into your ubuntu and from terminal do: sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 09:02 |
| maxmahem | Rehan: Well slight problem, I'm already in my install, not running of a live CD. | 09:03 |
| jiltdil | can we not change the top applet (opacity) | 09:03 |
| zvacet | michaels: what kind of error | 09:03 |
| maxmahem | Thus my active partition is already mounted. | 09:03 |
| Dania | Rehan can you help me in my problem mentioned above ^^ | 09:03 |
| Rehan | maxmahem: go to a liveCD, then do those commands | 09:03 |
| Rehan | Dania: sorry i only knew the answer to maxmahem's issue because i had the same problem myself a week ago. I'm actually really new to Ubuntu and don't know much at all | 09:04 |
| yi`zhi | or is zeitgeist something we're not allowed to talk about :X | 09:04 |
| Robert__ | don't get me wrong I find this whole ubuntu thing fascinating but I am having way to many problems with it | 09:04 |
| zvacet | maxmahem: exact same commaands on link I posted to you | 09:04 |
| nesto1000 | So guys, I just installed ubuntu 11.04 64 | 09:04 |
| Braiam | Tanvir: I don't know, I'll wait a week or twice to upgrade | 09:04 |
| michaels | zvacet, i got a black screen (with upstart-commands from start of 10.10) and the cursor. nothing more worked. then i shut down and did the rest of the install from the shell. but now, some things don't work properly | 09:05 |
| incorrect1 | oh windows don't have any edge resistance in unity | 09:05 |
| nesto1000 | So guys, I just installed ubuntu 11.04 64bit and well, I can' get flash player to work.... any help with that? | 09:05 |
| Tanvir | Barridus, good. I am in trap by this update. :( | 09:05 |
| jiltdil | i am on 11.04 64bit in ubuntu s/w center which option shhould i to do install for virtual box as there are many? | 09:05 |
| dasy2k1 | !flash | nesto1000 | 09:05 |
| ubottu | nesto1000: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 09:05 |
| zvacet | michaels: if you backed up your files reinstall | 09:06 |
| jiltdil | !virtualbox | 09:06 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 09:06 |
| michaels | zvacet, sorry, I don't understand what you want to say.... | 09:07 |
| michaels | zvacet, you mean, that I should do reinstall if i have backup? yes, i have backup | 09:07 |
| zvacet | michaels: if you have files witch you want to keep back them up and after that reinstall | 09:08 |
| michaels | zvacet, but first, i thought that maybe it makes sense to report this to cannonical somehow.... or does this make no sense? | 09:08 |
| EbanSoul | Is the download server overloaded with requests ? just curious because it is going really slow here. | 09:08 |
| eekTheCat | Would someone kindly reccomend an rss client.. | 09:08 |
| michaels | zvacet, maybe they can find a new problem? or a problem that occured also for other users? | 09:08 |
| yata | I just downloaded ubuntu (i386) (from Australia) it was pretty quick | 09:08 |
| dasy2k1 | most likely EbanSoul, try the bittorrent downloands, they should be fast | 09:09 |
| red2kic | eekTheCat: Liferea for one thing. | 09:09 |

| zvacet | michaels: yes it make sense but I don't know how to do it | 09:09 |
| EbanSoul | tyvm will do | 09:09 |
| michaels | zvacet, ok thanks! | 09:09 |

| CQ | quick question... i'm running lucid, and do-release-upgrade shows no upgrade available... what do I need to do?? | 09:09 |
| yi`zhi | o well. i'm removing zeitgeist right now | 09:09 |
| MrOpposite | is there any program that works like screen | 09:09 |
| red2kic | CQ: You don't have to upgrade if you wish to stay on LTS. | 09:09 |
| MrOpposite | but for X-applications? | 09:09 |
| michaels | everyone: how to report broken updates to cannonical? or does this make no sense? if it makes sense; how to do it? | 09:09 |

| dasy2k1 | MrOpposite: screen for X apps, isnt that called multiple desktops? | 09:10 |
| red2kic | CQ: You might want to do a clean installation (just much quicker without having to go through two versions). | 09:10 |
| eekTheCat | red2kic, thank you. anyone else with news aggregator reccomendations? | 09:10 |
| MaRk-I | CQ: try: alt+f2 update-manager | 09:10 |

| zvacet | CQ: unnder synaptic>repositories>updates>at the bottom you can choose between normal and lts release upgrade set your to normal | 09:10 |
| MrOpposite | uhm, I was intending on using it with xforwarding and ssh | 09:10 |
| MrOpposite | to use* | 09:11 |
| red2kic | eekTheCat: Thunderbird does it -- but it comes with mail + calendar. | 09:11 |
| MrOpposite | not "on using" | 09:11 |
| michaels | ubottu, yes, but there are several things broken, because of the update.... is there a way to report the whole state of the installation? so that they maybe can find the bug, if they need this info...?! | 09:11 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:11 |
| red2kic | eekTheCat: Google Reader. I'm sure there are few more I forget about. | 09:11 |
| red2kic | eekTheCat: Liferea got tray so it's pretty nifty. | 09:11 |
| dasy2k1 | MrOpposite: i would just use screen then | 09:11 |
| CQ | hm, can I jump from 10.04 to 11.04, or do I need to hop to 10.10? | 09:11 |
| MrOpposite | hmm | 09:12 |
| MrOpposite | does that work? | 09:12 |

| andeeeuk | hey | 09:12 |
| cvrser | MrOpposite: I think you could only do something like that with VNC? | 09:12 |
| andeeeuk | is anyone having problems with skype in 11.04 | 09:12 |
| zvacet | CQ: or you can do fresh install of natty | 09:13 |
| MrOpposite | hmm | 09:13 |
| andeeeuk | its ok with 1 call but when you make a second it skrews up | 09:13 |
| eekTheCat | red2kic, so lifera is what you use regularly? I prefer desktop apps, so that eliminates google reader | 09:13 |
| linuxuz3r | later guys | 09:13 |
| MrOpposite | hmm | 09:13 |
| red2kic | eekTheCat: I regularly use Thunderbird but I'm changing that soon as it hogs down my memory. Some kind of memory leak, I imagine. So yeah, I'm not using any RSS at this moment -- but I plan to give liferea a try (I used it before I used Thunderbird). | 09:14 |
| audhi | #ubuntu+1 | 09:15 |
| red2kic | eekTheCat: Down with Mozilla! Bloated apps! :( | 09:15 |
| andeeeuk | has anyone else had problems using skype on 11.04? | 09:15 |
| learner | i don't use it, it seemed shady in 10.10 | 09:16 |
| incorrect1 | right now do i go back to a 1x4 virtual desktop arrangement i hate 2x2 | 09:16 |
| celestial | how can i do a repair install of 11.04 my network install was interupted and i cant afford to lose my stuff | 09:16 |
| eekTheCat | red2kic, liferea is unresponsive right now. it's loading all the default feeds which I was going to delete anyway :( | 09:17 |
| mang0 | guys, I'm downloading the alternate 11.04 iso...which download do I need, Idk which one I need! | 09:17 |
| mang0 | ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent is htat what i need? | 09:17 |
| red2kic | eekTheCat: Default Feeds. Heh. Planet Gnome, Planet Ubuntu, etc. :\ | 09:17 |
| andeeeuk | has anyone heard of skype before? | 09:17 |
| andeeeuk | :p | 09:17 |
| SuperLag | andeeeuk: I guess if you're having problems with Skype on 11.04, I won't upgrade... | 09:17 |
| zvacet | mang0: you can also use alternate not eye candy but do the same job | 09:18 |
| red2kic | mang0: ubuntu-11-04-alternative-i386.iso.torrent | 09:18 |
| SuperLag | because we use it too much for me to be without it... | 09:18 |
| mang0 | okay thanks | 09:18 |
| andeeeuk | SuperLag: yes im having problems with skype on 11.04, i wont upgrade but what do i upgrade to? | 09:18 |
| mang0 | I need skype O.O I can't use 11.04 then | 09:19 |
| SuperLag | andeeeuk: i don't understand the second part of what you said | 09:19 |
| Nando | should I install my graphics card driver to use unity? | 09:19 |
| andeeeuk | well i already have 11.04 | 09:19 |
| andeeeuk | i cant upgrade again | 09:19 |
| michaels | nando, as far as i know, you need 3d acceleration for unity | 09:19 |
| ror | right, thanks for the help some of you, I've almost got it back to how I've liked | 09:19 |
| andeeeuk | have you used it in classic ubuntu? | 09:19 |
| CQ | andeeeuk: instal virtualbox, install a small older ubuntu, install and trun skype there... | 09:19 |
| ror | still can't work out how to get my scale switcher back, but that'll do for now | 09:20 |
| learner | pithos, anyone get that going? | 09:20 |
| andeeeuk | I really donw know why it has stopped working in 11.04 | 09:20 |
| michaels | nando, is there a open 3d driver for your graphics card? if yes, try this one | 09:20 |
| andeeeuk | you can make 1 call perfectly | 09:20 |
| andeeeuk | but another call and its skrewed up | 09:20 |
| Nando | michaels: I don't know how it is useful I prefer gnome shell | 09:21 |
| andeeeuk | i think i will restart skype everytime i need to make a new call :p | 09:21 |
| andeeeuk | comical one of those really important apps and its not working correctly in 11.04 | 09:22 |
| michaels | nando, I think for gnome shell you also need 3d acceleration, but im not 100% sure | 09:22 |
| andeeeuk | solution: testing, testing and more testing... | 09:22 |
| Nando | michaels: gnome works fine but I have a problem getting in unity | 09:23 |
| green_ | whats up with this ;eft side bar on 11.04? and no bottom panel | 09:23 |
| green_ | left | 09:24 |
| Soothsayer | ok now | 09:24 |
| Soothsayer | this is strange | 09:24 |
| Soothsayer | my ubuntu installer has been stuck on this screen for like 5 hours | 09:24 |
| dasy2k1 | green_: just log out and log back in again selecting ubuntu classic | 09:24 |
| michaels | nando? what happens? doen't it load unity and gnome instead? | 09:24 |
| Soothsayer | "Saving installed packages....." | 09:24 |
| zvacet | Nando: it can be graphic card issue | 09:24 |
| Sik | So, I just updated to 11.04 through the updater, and was forced to go into safe mode since apparently Unity crashes on this hardware (video doesn't respond, sometimes system won't boot at all)... besides I don't like it anyways. Is there any way to set Ubuntu to always start with the old shell? | 09:24 |
| green_ | k | 09:24 |
| Soothsayer | how do i cancel the install ? | 09:24 |
| Blue1 | Soothsayer: power off/power on | 09:24 |
| Soothsayer | Blue1: hmm.. ok | 09:25 |
| Soothsayer | going to | 09:25 |
| jatt | Sik: at login time you can choose classical desktop or similar it will load gnome | 09:25 |
| Soothsayer | bbl then | 09:25 |
| zvacet | Soothsayer: restart clomp but will anything work after that | 09:25 |
| freaky[t] | hi all. how do i install sun java on 11.4? | 09:25 |
| zvacet | *comp | 09:25 |
| Sik | jatt: OK, how do I make the old shell the default though? (I'll forget to do it every time, and my mum won't even get she has to do it) | 09:25 |
| jatt | freaky[t]: download jdk-6u25-linux-i586.bin from oracle's site, install | 09:25 |
| linuxrocks | Hi all, I'm going to upgrade from 10.10 to 11. Has anyone encountered some obvious problems during the upgrade process? | 09:26 |
| ror | btw to anyone having problems loading classic; the way I did it was to load "classic (no effects)" then in that switch off "unity plugin" in CCSM, then switch back to "Classic" | 09:26 |
| krad | hi. where can I see the list of startup services upon booting the OS? | 09:26 |

| SeRVeR01 | hey there, am trying to play game with wine but i got a disturbing thing the game doesn't come in full screen the title bar of ubuntu still there =/ any ideas ? | 09:26 |
| michaels | linuxrocks, yes I had a servus problems.... make a backup first!!! | 09:26 |
| ror | Sik: In Administration > Login Screen, there's a choice for "Default" | 09:26 |
| krad | where can I see the list of startup services upon booting the OS? | 09:26 |
| jatt | Sik: I don't remember either :(... maybe in the login screen you can set it as default? | 09:26 |
| linuxrocks | michaels, which kind of problems? | 09:26 |
| Sik | "Pantalla de acceso" in Spanish? | 09:27 |
| freaky[t] | jatt: is it adviced to use the sun java insted of the open jdk? | 09:27 |
| michaels | nando, so you want gnome shell? and this works or not? | 09:27 |
| Blue1 | !es | sik | 09:27 |

| BlackDex | i just have installed/upgraded to natty | 09:27 |
| Sik | Blue1: I can speak English, I just have Ubuntu set to Spanish :P | 09:27 |
| linuxrocks | michaels, that's not good. What did you do then? | 09:27 |
| Nando | guys anyone has audio cutoffs with skype? | 09:27 |
| BlackDex | And if i close pidgin, it realy closes | 09:27 |
| jatt | freaky[t]: I use it at work, it works fine. If it's for your own use is ok (1 user) but for a machine used by different people maybe is better to use from the repos. | 09:27 |
| Sik | Classic Ubuntu, right? | 09:27 |
| BlackDex | insteated of running on the background | 09:27 |
| Blue1 | ok | 09:27 |
| Sik | OK, will reboot, let's see if that does it :O) | 09:28 |
| freaky[t] | jatt: hm ok thx | 09:28 |
| zvacet | Sik: onlogin screen under session choose ubuntu classic | 09:28 |
| Sik | zvacet: OK then I got it | 09:28 |

| Braiam | Flashtek: night still | 09:29 |
| michaels | linuxrocks, i completed the upgrade using shell, but now some things are brocken | 09:29 |
| paul | how does rsync identify two files as the same file and skip it on the next sync, I assume it goes by more than just the fiel name? | 09:29 |
| linuxrocks | michaels, which things? | 09:29 |
| michaels | i can't start nautilus | 09:29 |
| Flashtek | paul, md5 | 09:29 |
| michaels | sometimes ubuntu freezes | 09:30 |
| michaels | and skype also doen't start, but thats maybee another storry | 09:30 |
| Flashtek | michaels, put it in the microwave for 2 minutes.. | 09:30 |
| Flashtek | michaels, what hardware ? | 09:30 |
| michaels | hehe.... | 09:30 |
| michaels | macbook 2,1 | 09:30 |
| Nando | I think 11.4 needs more time to mature | 09:30 |
| freaky[t] | ok thanks for all your help ;D | 09:30 |
| paul | Flashtek: this md5 sounds like a goood deal | 09:30 |
| fadax | i left my ubuntu virtual machine updating to the new version overnight, but during the update it looks like windows update restarted the computer and now i can't boot ubuntu in vmware... it says "the disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present" .. "press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" what should i do? | 09:31 |
| linuxrocks | michaels, thanks, I will postpone the upgrade... | 09:31 |
| Braiam | Nando: but it doesn't mature w/o tests | 09:31 |
| BlackDex | Braiam: The only thing i can see there is about the systray | 09:31 |

| zvacet | Nando: same story with every new release of course things will be better when we report bugs | 09:31 |
| Nando | Braiam: and that unity is stupid move | 09:32 |
| michaels | linuxrocks, yes, maybe it is a good idea to wat some days with upgrade, if you want to update a productive machine.... | 09:32 |
| cybrhuman | Nando: why is unity a bad move? | 09:32 |
| ror | because it's regressive not progressive | 09:32 |
| zvacet | Nando: use gnome or any other de | 09:33 |
| linuxrocks | michaels, yes, this is my "production" machine. Prefer services to be up than running the new, shiny version of Ubuntu | 09:33 |
| cybrhuman | ror: unity? | 09:33 |
| incorrect1 | how can i put back normal scroll bars? | 09:33 |

| Flashtek | there is a solution to the "windows rebooted during ubuntu install" | 09:34 |
| fadax | me | 09:34 |
| Flashtek | don't run windows ! | 09:34 |
| dasbootcapitan | Hi | 09:34 |
| cybrhuman | Nando: why? with these 16:9 screens we have today unity gives more production screen estate. | 09:34 |
| ror | cybrhuman, no it DOESN'T | 09:34 |
| dasbootcapitan | İ wanna install ubuntu to my refligator | 09:34 |
| Flashtek | how many sodding times will it run update-grub ffs.. | 09:34 |
| fadax | Flashtek i can't fix this? i have to reinstall ubuntu? | 09:34 |
| ror | with 16:9 it's more important to have icons across top/bottom where you can see them all; and I used to use left hand toolbars when I had 4:3 | 09:34 |
| odo_ | Hello everyone, any idea how to flush the DNS cache on a vanilla maverick? (short of rebooting, of course)? | 09:34 |
| cybrhuman | ror: how do you argue that? | 09:34 |
| dasbootcapitan | How can i compile go bios files | 09:35 |
| ror | the fact unity doesn't even allow you to choose where to have the launcher is crazy | 09:35 |
| === odo_ is now known as odo | ||
| Flashtek | fadax, boot from recovery, run install-grub or similar | 09:35 |
| Kartagis | is it possible to chroot ssh except root? | 09:35 |
| ror | in gnome-classic I can have as many panels as I wish, configure them all as I wish; Unity takes away control | 09:35 |
| === odo is now known as Guest33326 | ||
| Kartagis | because otherwise I can't log in as root | 09:35 |
| === Guest33326 is now known as odo_ | ||
| jatt | unity is beta software avoid it if you use your machine for serious work | 09:35 |
| Blue1 | Kartagis: why do you want to login as root? | 09:36 |
| Whisky_ | anyone? | 09:36 |
| ror | with 16:9 people don't maximise windows, they have long top/bottom menus making the space 16:8 then split the screen into two 8:8 sections for windows | 09:36 |
| Nando | cybrhuman: maybe you are right but I do not see a big difference though | 09:36 |

| cybrhuman | ror: yes, but for many of us the panels were just there eating more screen estate than we liked, but they had to be there. The combination of the everpresent panel and the top bar of the window is nice I think. | 09:37 |
| Flashtek | fadax, install CD boot ? | 09:37 |
| ror | cybrhuman, no they did NOT have to be there! You can add/remove/move them as you wish in gnome. In Unity you cannot move them | 09:37 |
| cybrhuman | Nando: Not everyone is happy about it of course, but we still have alternatives | 09:37 |
| fadax | Flashtek well i can get a console root@mycomputer if i press "M" for manual recovery | 09:37 |

| fadax | can i do it from here? | 09:38 |
| Diverdude | where is gs installed in ubuntu? | 09:38 |
| green_ | ok, what is this unity program for if it totally changes the way ubuntu has always looked? is it just to look more like some windows os? | 09:38 |
| vish | Diverdude: gnome-shell? | 09:38 |
| Flashtek | fadax, install-grub might help you | 09:38 |
| cybrhuman | ror: without panels there is no acceptable place for a systray. | 09:38 |
| ror | green: it takes the worst of mac (single menu at the top) and worst of windows (launchers don't open new instances but switch to old ones) and combines them | 09:38 |
| fadax | Flashtek it says "command not found" | 09:38 |
| jatt | green_: is to look more like Mac OS | 09:38 |
| Diverdude | vish, yes | 09:38 |
| Sik | OK, it wasn't that (though I wanted to get rid of Unity anyways). Apparently for whatever reason the new Linux kernel doesn't like my computer and won't boot properly no matter what I do, unless I go into safe mode and force it to run with the safe graphics drivers. | 09:39 |
| vish | !gnome3 | Diverdude | 09:39 |
| ubottu | Diverdude: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 09:39 |
| ror | cybrhuman, sure, but you can put a small panel on the left/right/wherever in gnome-classic, you can't with unity, so how is unity an improvement? | 09:39 |
| Diverdude | vish, its just a normal ubuntu 10.04 shell | 09:39 |
| ror | by simply forcing you to have the setup the developers want you to have without letting you customize it, is not a progressive step | 09:39 |
| Nando | cybrhuman: I like the new software center but sometimes I have a problem installing restricted extras giving me message operation failed | 09:39 |
| ror | Sik: first time I had to boot to an older kernel, then dpkg --configure | 09:39 |
| green_ | jatt: thats what i thought just to make it acceptible for mac users | 09:39 |
| vish | jatt, green_ : if you dont have any support questions, you can talk in -offtopic.. | 09:40 |
| jatt | green_: yes but it fails miserably imho | 09:40 |
| Sik | ror: OK, will do that, though later as right now I need to get something off internet >_> | 09:40 |

| Whisky_ | please? | 09:41 |
| Whisky_ | I can't get into X | 09:41 |
| cybrhuman | ror: understand me, I am not saying unity is the best for all, but for many I am sure it is. And for people who like to use gnome, gnome is still there. As for forcing a look on the desktop, most users wont do too much about their desktop, they want to use it and not having to configure it. So this is an improvement because you get more screen estate as default | 09:41 |
| fadax | Flashtek oh i found that "grub-install" works, but it says "INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename" .. what should i do? | 09:42 |

| Sonja | is there a 101 of configuring this new left bar thingy? | 09:51 |
| incorrect1 | once you tweak unity its create, my desktop those huge sidebar icons are so fugly unless you shrink them down | 09:51 |
| rizzuh | iszak: Linux support for multiple monitors has been flaky at best. | 09:51 |
| iszak | rizzuh, I disagree, I have had good experience with gnome. | 09:51 |
| Sonja | yeah unity lol | 09:52 |
| jatt | Sonja: it is not easily configurable | 09:52 |

| incorrect1 | zvacet, do what customise the sidebar? | 09:55 |

| eigba_ | Ive already farted out 2 butt turds trying to figure out if i like unity or not | 09:56 |
| zvacet | incorrect1: yes I just started t ouse it so I don't know much about unity | 09:56 |
| jatt | crims0n: now there is gnome, kde, xfce and unity | 09:56 |
| incorrect1 | oh wait you can't close them from the sidebar | 09:56 |
| incorrect1 | my mistake | 09:56 |
| ilon | accessing setting seems to be a mess now that they arent grouped under a settingsmenu any longer. | 09:56 |
| ilon | incorrect1: how can i customize it? | 09:56 |
| Diverdude | in bash, i have variable $i, how do i concatenate it with a c in a command? so that i can do myprogram $i ['c' $i] so if i has the value 'myfile.png' it would be myprogram myfile.png cmyfile.png ? | 09:56 |
| sanderd17_ | bencc: I did use the oracle version of VB, not the OSE version | 09:56 |
| crims0n | ouss999 I like irssi, if you are not afraid of the console | 09:57 |
| Sonja | unity is pretty, but not exactly practical | 09:57 |
| eigba_ | ilon, what I did was use the search feature to find settings then pulled it over to the lauchbar. probally not the most productive way though | 09:57 |
| ouss999 | i will give it a try | 09:57 |
| eigba_ | Sonja, Agreed | 09:57 |
| rizzuh | But seriously, can we get some configuration options for the notifications? The 10 second timeout is FAR too long, especially for IMs. And it doesn't show multiple notifications either. | 09:57 |
| ilon | incorrect1: problem is that since i usally have alot o windows open, the old taskbar was rather nice for me to switch between windows | 09:57 |
| bencc | sanderd17_: I tried both the oracle iso guest additions and ose guest additions from apt but still getting a black screen | 09:57 |
| incorrect1 | ilon, same here | 09:57 |
| Sik | OK, so I tried both reinstalling the graphics driver and running dpkg off the recovery menu, either way 11.04 still won't boot properly >_< Sometimes it hangs after the login screen, sometimes it outright kicks me into a text mode terminal :/ | 09:57 |
| zvacet | Sonja: I'm not used to big icons | 09:57 |
| sanderd17_ | bencc: sorry, can't help you further | 09:58 |
| bencc | sanderd17_: thanks | 09:58 |
| ilon | eigba_: what do you mean by "settings"? since ubuntu dosnt have a unified way of handeling settings.. | 09:58 |
| eigba_ | I wish they would of went with gnome 3. | 09:58 |
| incorrect1 | to customise the sidebar you install the 'compizconfig-settings-manager' then go to the unity settings | 09:58 |
| iszak | Must say, a lot of back lash towards unity.. hopefully the next version will be better e.g. you can arrange icons, position the bar. | 09:58 |
| ilon | incorrect1: i know the concept from OS X, but it feels half done :( | 09:58 |
| incorrect1 | you also want to turn off the 'back light' damn its so ugly with all those colours | 09:58 |
| ojii | is there a way to move the unity bar from the left to the right? | 09:58 |
| zvacet | incorrect1: and without compiz | 09:59 |
| incorrect1 | ilon, i agree, | 09:59 |
| bashelina | zvacet, im using classic, either natty got more bloated or ubuntu discarded some drivers ?? | 09:59 |
| jatt | ojii: no | 09:59 |
| incorrect1 | zvacet, you are using unity 2d? | 09:59 |
| ilon | incorrect1: guess i have to switch to something else as usual :( | 09:59 |
| Sonja | i'm trying to customize/optimize the Unity bar ... i don't need the workspace switcher | 09:59 |
| incorrect1 | i do not know why unity was pushed out so early | 09:59 |

| zelhar | Hello. I started an upgrade and it is now on the "getting new package" stage. Is it safe to cancel the upgrade because the download speed is too slow and I want to find a better server ? | 10:06 |
| ilon | unity still have to mature some before i would consider to use it | 10:06 |
| ouss999 | ilon, i agree | 10:07 |
| corinth | zelhar, Yes | 10:07 |
| jatt | zelhar: I think it is safe while it's downloading packages | 10:07 |
| jatt | zelhar: but once it starts to install/configure if you abort it can get messy | 10:07 |
| ouss999 | jatt, i agree | 10:07 |
| zelhar | I see | 10:08 |
| ilon | ouss999: or maybe ubuntu needs to mature.. still no unified place for settings :( | 10:08 |

| thatcode | Hi. I've just upgraded to 11.04. I have a multi-monitor set up. The hardware seems to think my right hand monitor is the primary (it's on VGA, the left hand is on DVI). This is causing problems when I boot with both monitors. The Application bar appears on the left side of the right monitor, which really screws things up, my graphics go on my right monitor, and I don't get any bars to launch programs or even shut down. | 10:24 |
| ddddddddddd | a question | 10:24 |
| ddddddddddd | i need reinstall, should i take 11.04 or 10.04 | 10:24 |
| thatcode | Any ideas how to get it to put the bar in the correct place? | 10:24 |
| === thatcode is now known as swordz | ||
| jatt | thatcode: you can't the bar position is not configurable in unity | 10:25 |
| Tetsuo55 | jatt: thats insande, the built-in weather is one of the best things about the ubuntu default clock | 10:25 |
| incorrect1 | ilon, i don't have any milk for my coffee this morning | 10:25 |

| swordz | jatt, So basically, I can't use my second screen? | 10:25 |
| swordz | I don't believe that | 10:25 |
| jatt | swordz: you can switch back to the classical interface | 10:25 |

| KNUBBIG | you can use two displays with displays? | 10:26 |
| swordz | jatt, I want the bar on the left | 10:26 |
| KNUBBIG | I do it | 10:26 |
| swordz | I just want Ubuntu to pick the other screen | 10:26 |
| swordz | That's a lower level than Unity | 10:26 |
| knick | swordz: use xrandr | 10:26 |
| swordz | It's X that's getting this wrong, not Unity (imo) | 10:27 |
| KNUBBIG | oh I'm not rly awoken, I type crap. I meant you can use it with Unity :) | 10:27 |
| paddy_ | I have an i7 processor which is not loaded much at all during disk writes but my 3-disk raid-5 array write speed is 30mb's whereas its read is 2oomb's | 10:27 |
| yi`zhi | ok i got an interesting problem. i use the windows key (Super L) as a shortcut for terminal. it also happens to be the shortcut for narwhal's dash. i tried changing the shortcut for narwhal dash to CTRL+SuperL but then terminal doesn't pop up anymore. when i hit SuperL, BOTH dash and terminal pop up. | 10:27 |
| Tetsuo55 | jatt: did we lose the battery too? | 10:27 |
| ddddddddddd | yesit was an example | 10:28 |
| ddddddddddd | but ccpd dont it | 10:28 |
| ddddddddddd | i need reinstall, should i take 11.04 or 10.04 | 10:28 |
| knick | ddddddddddd: best to stay up to date | 10:28 |
| ddddddddddd | ok | 10:28 |
| jatt | Tetsuo55: I think they still have it | 10:28 |
| knick | lol | 10:28 |
| jatt | Tetsuo55: but things like the system monitor applet are gone | 10:29 |
| _ruben | paddy_: that's a common issue with raid5 | 10:29 |
| paddy_ | _ruben even with a fast processor? | 10:29 |
| _ruben | paddy_: yes, the disks are the limiting factor | 10:29 |
| quick_nick | ddddddddddd: i have both and prefer 10.04 over 11.04 right now. been having bug problems with 11.04. my biggest issue is shutdown problems were introduced with the upgrade on an ati video card machine | 10:30 |

| bangLUCE | hi. how can I make a non-root program open port 80 ? | 10:31 |
| paddy_ | oh you must disable twinview before uppgrading if you are using it | 10:31 |
| knick | bangLUCE: use iptables to forward | 10:31 |
| knick | Though that iptables command must be run as root | 10:31 |
| _ruben | paddy_: with raid5 over 3 disks, the read actions are nicely spread over all 3 disks, the writes however results writes on 2 or even 3 disks simultaneously: not much performance gain over a single disk | 10:31 |
| Guest90444 | HI, can I upgrade from 10 to 11 from an ISO? | 10:31 |
| paddy_ | bangLUCE: if you do not have root permissions you cant | 10:31 |
| yi`zhi | so... since i can't change the shortcut key for terminal in control center > keyboard shortcuts, how do i do it using the terminal? | 10:32 |

| _ruben | paddy_: more disks ;) | 10:32 |
| jatt | mbrochh: yes, unity | 10:32 |
| paddy_ | _ruben, so if i add another disk to the raid 5 array it will be faster on the writes? | 10:33 |
| _ruben | paddy_: though write performance will never be really great with raid5, if you want both read and write performance, go for raid10 | 10:33 |
| mbrochh | does anybody know if it is possible to enjoy unity when running ubuntu on a virtualbox? | 10:33 |
| mbrochh | i can't seem to be able to activate it | 10:33 |

| Psychobudgie | mbrochh, I'm having trouble enjoying it full stop | 10:34 |

| knick | bangLUCE: yup | 10:35 |
| _ruben | paddy_: the real performance gains with raid5 are when using a hardware raid controller with a battery backed write chache | 10:35 |
| _ruben | cache | 10:35 |
| mbrochh | Maddogm, i am using latest virtualbox 4.0.6 - any special settings to do to get it working? | 10:35 |
| mfraz74 | Upgraded my netbook to 11.04 this week and now whenever I use rsync to sync my files over a wireless connection, the connection keeps dropping | 10:35 |
| lupzz | anyone knows if wayland is supposed to be adopted by ubuntu 11.10? | 10:35 |
| _ruben | paddy_: or use SSDs ;) | 10:35 |
| paddy_ | _ruben i have a ssd can i use that as a cache, how do i use a cache? | 10:35 |
| petey | mbrochh, I had to reinstall the 4.0.6 guest additions to get unity to work and enable 3D acceleration in the settings | 10:36 |
| gare | DrManhattan: the easiest way I found to switch from 11.04 to classic gnome is to install kubuntu-desktop, and select kdm as the default . This gives options of different desktops ... | 10:36 |
| DrManhattan | thats ridiculous, there's got to be an easier way | 10:36 |
| _ruben | paddy_: only highend hardware raid controllers can use ssds as cache (and you'd need an enterprise class ssd for that as well), zfs can use ssds as cache as well though | 10:36 |
| gare | well, please let me know .. | 10:37 |
| paddy_ | _ruben: what about lvm | 10:37 |
| _ruben | paddy_: wont make a difference afaik | 10:37 |
| gare | what happens when you remove default desktop file from /x11 ? | 10:37 |
| _ruben | paddy_: when write performance is needed, one usually just doesnt use raid5 :) | 10:38 |
| Maddogm | mbrochh, what petey said, plus you may need to adjust the memory quantities (check video especially) | 10:38 |
| paddy_ | what is the best way to use a ssd as a raid 5 cache? | 10:38 |
| mbrochh | Maddogm, working on it... | 10:38 |
| mbrochh | Maddogm, it worked! great! | 10:38 |
| paddy_ | _ruben: do you think i should buy an other disk and switch to raid10? | 10:38 |
| josefrichter | guys, tried to update Ubuntu under VirtualBox and now getting error: environment block too small - what does that mean please? | 10:38 |
| mbrochh | petey, Maddogm thanks for your help | 10:38 |
| debd | josefrichter: may be your virtual HDD size is too small for that | 10:39 |
| _ruben | paddy_: it all comes down to your needs/wishes/wallet basically, but raid10 is quite likely to give you much better write performance than raid5 | 10:39 |
| petey | mbrochh, no probs - obviously unity doesn't work so well unless you fullscreen it unless you disable the auto-hide | 10:39 |
| gare | DrManhattan: perhaps take a look at this file: /etc/init/gdm.conf | 10:39 |

| thegoodcushion | Hi everyone. My HP Deskjet 2000 works in Windows 7 and OS X perfectly. But I can't get it to work on Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit. Ubuntu thinks that it's printing, and the powerlight flashes as though the printer's thinking, but no output comes out. Any ideas? | 10:42 |
| beekor | hmm. | 10:42 |
| beekor | it may take a long while, cushion. | 10:42 |
| beekor | like minutes. | 10:42 |
| thegoodcushion | beekor: even though it doesn't under OS X/Windows? | 10:42 |
| beekor | i get that sometimes printing pdfs. | 10:42 |
| beekor | yeah. | 10:43 |

| Vustom | So here's my problem, I have a 500GB HDD, and at first I only had Windows on it, then I installed Ubuntu 10.10 a few months ago and had both OS's side-by-side, and I used the Windows (HP) Recovery Manager today to reformat my HDD so I started clean with a fresh install of Windows and a 500GB HDD, and was planning on installing Ubuntu 11.4 side-by-side with Windows again, but when I reformatted it only reformatted the 250GB's of the W | 10:51 |
| Soothsayer | paddy_: I have an XFX 9600 GT.. it prompted me to install some NVIDIA accelerated graphics drivers (recommended) | 10:51 |

| gare | glad could help | 10:52 |
| thegoodcushion | beekor: Is there some driver other than the default CUPS driver that comes with Ubuntu? It's a HP Deskjet 2000. Yes it detects as the right model | 10:52 |
| Vustom | knick, I tried that but only had the option of 250GB's, which is how much space I gave the Windows partion last time.. | 10:52 |
| Soothsayer | paddy_: there is no such option | 10:52 |

| DamienCassou | deeeed: there are also some manipulations to do if you want to read/write your mac os x partition | 11:05 |

| phonex01 | why the shortcuts in my panel gone when i reboot ? | 11:40 |
| Stew_822 | Can anyone point me in the direction of a forum where I might recieve some help with my .desktop file? | 11:40 |
| BlouBlou | KebabBob: Just restart computer, it's the place in which you type your password to log in. Click on you user, and change in a box below, from ubuntu to classic-ubuntu or classic-session | 11:40 |

| phonex01 | i added new panel to the right and then i added some shortcuts but when i reboot they simply gone ! | 11:41 |
| mikebeecham | cant find it | 11:41 |
| drewby | OH CRA! I don't use 9.10. I use 10.10 | 11:41 |
| drewby | sorry I don't know why I said that | 11:41 |
| Stew_822 | Cube``: I think there's a command to upgrade your ubuntu version :) | 11:41 |
| BlouBlou | Cube``: Go to software-sources >> updates tab >> and change LTS versions, instead of that, select normal-editions | 11:41 |
| Cube`` | Stew_822: yes but i wanted to do it guiwise | 11:42 |
| Stew_822 | Cube``: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/upgrade | 11:42 |
| Cube`` | BlouBlou: yes its already normal editions :S | 11:42 |
| phonex01 | Take my advice dont use ubuntu 11.04 now | 11:42 |
| BlouBlou | !upgrade | Maybe this will help you Cube`` | 11:42 |

| Soothsayer | ok, now I can't boot into ubuntu! | 11:43 |
| Cube`` | phonex01: why? | 11:43 |
| Soothsayer | in recovery mode with lowgraphics selected. | 11:43 |
| phonex01 | i saw a lot of bugs and a lot of problems | 11:43 |
| Soothsayer | how do I rollback the graphic drivers configurations I did ? | 11:43 |
| phonex01 | starting from the software center and package manager | 11:43 |
| phonex01 | also supporting drivers | 11:43 |
| Stew_822 | drewby: I don't know, but maybe in default programs? Or try right-clicking a directory and select "open with" then choose natulis, the file browser | 11:43 |
| Cube`` | gartral: nope, its the same situation, its not showing up | 11:44 |
| gartral | phonex01: what's true for you won't be true for everyone. the more people using ubuntu-bug in the new version, the faster these bugs will be fixed. please don't discourage others from trying the newest builds | 11:44 |

| Rziz | Are there any parameters I could pass to accomplish the same? | 11:45 |
| jatt | mikebeecham: there is no way to add the home icon to the unity bar | 11:45 |
| mikebeecham | jatt, what is the icon at the very top with the home icon on it then | 11:45 |
| mikebeecham | ? | 11:45 |
| jatt | so you added it? | 11:45 |
| mikebeecham | nope...it was there on first install, but I removed all the clutter | 11:46 |
| mikebeecham | *sigh* it was a noob moment! | 11:46 |
| mikebeecham | jatt, it was a folder icon with a home on it | 11:46 |

| JohnFlux | Hi all | 11:47 |
| JohnFlux | If I want to update a package, what is needed exactly? | 11:47 |
| Vustom | BlouBlou, what happens If I need to unmount to delete the partitions | 11:47 |
| Vustom | how do I do that? | 11:47 |
| mikebeecham | gartral, thanks, but that was kind of unnecessary since I was referring to myself | 11:47 |
| mikebeecham | *sigh* | 11:47 |
| gartral | Rziz: what do you mean? it's not like UBuntu comes in 4-7 installationd disks.. like slackware does. | 11:47 |
| JohnFlux | sorry I mean, a package in ubuntu is quite old. I want to make a newer version of the package, and get that into ubuntu | 11:47 |
| BlouBlou | Vustom: It means that you can't do anything in a partition if you're using them, so before doing anything, it's needed to unmount | 11:48 |
| gartral | mikebeecham: sorry.. I saw the word and had a "itchy trigger finger" moment! | 11:48 |
| dman777 | anyone use aide? | 11:48 |
| drewby | Stew_822: thanks for the guess. It doesn't look like folders have open_with menus though | 11:48 |
| Rziz | gatral: my main issue atm is no command-line install option seems to be available in the 11.04 alternate cd. I was wondering if i could pass any boot parameter to the installer to accomplish this | 11:48 |
| Vustom | But how do I unmount it when I'm in the gparted liveCD, or wont i need to worry about that? | 11:48 |
| lylanthia | hi there, is this an acceptable place for me to ask a quick question? | 11:48 |
| mikebeecham | gartral, no worries | 11:48 |
| BlouBlou | Vustom: Don't worry | 11:49 |
| Shaggy2 | I need some help I just installed ubuntu 11.04 desktop, it's not booting | 11:49 |
| Vustom | :D | 11:49 |
| Vustom | thank you. :3 | 11:49 |
| Rziz | or am I supposed to do a netinstall, which seems a different thing to me :p | 11:49 |
| BlouBlou | Vustom: np | 11:49 |
| Stew_822 | lylanthia: I think so, but people tend to shoot you if you say something that's outta place :) | 11:49 |

| Rziz | it doesn't seem obvious to me if there is there any way to do a command-line install of Ubuntu 11.04 without doing a netinstall | 11:52 |
| Rziz | as the command-line install option of the 11.04 alternate cd seems to be removed | 11:52 |
| BlouBlou | !alternate | Rziz | 11:53 |
| ubottu | Rziz: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 11:53 |
| smw | Rziz, why do you want a cli install? | 11:53 |
| BlouBlou | Rziz: It isn't | 11:53 |
| daxt | hi guys , i installed ubuntu 11.04 parallelly with my Lucid installation , but grub does not show the new nutty menu option , how do i add it ? | 11:53 |
| Rziz | smw: no need for DE for me, low memory system | 11:53 |
| gartral | Rziz: the alt-cd's main install feature is the cli install. they just renamed it. I agree though, it is mildly confusing. | 11:54 |
| KNUBBIG | In my login screen, the login window isn't skinned at all and looks pretty ancient. Anything I can do about that? | 11:54 |
| Rziz | gatral: thanks a lot :p its quite confusing indeed | 11:54 |

| NeoCicak | jaypur: i'm using 64 bit | 11:56 |
| jaypur | NeoCicak, have you already faced some problems? | 11:56 |
| jrib | jaypur: if no one answered wait patiently and repeat after about 10 minutes. Please don't ask "who is using ..." as it's not very productive | 11:56 |
| NeoCicak | jaypur: not yet.... but i've just upgraded about 3 hours ago | 11:56 |

| NeoCicak | KNUBBIG: i assume you are referring to the 'commands' section there? | 11:57 |
| raylee | hi | 11:58 |
| jaypur | jrib, the 64 version used to have a lot of problems.... and nowadays? is it still facing it? | 11:58 |
| KNUBBIG | NeoCicak: for the terminal, yes, for unity settings you have too look at the ubuntu-unity plugin | 11:58 |
| KNUBBIG | trash can* not terminal, sorry | 11:58 |
| raylee | what is the new ubuntu like | 11:58 |
| jrib | jaypur: what problems are you referring to exactly? I've been using 64bit for many years without issues now | 11:58 |
| NeoCicak | KNUBBIG : nope.... i bound super + t to run gnome-terminal... but it still opens the trash can :( | 11:59 |
| jaypur | jrib, i remember about, firefox, some programs and about video drivers and flash | 11:59 |
| NeoCicak | KNUBBIG: plugin? where can i get that? | 11:59 |
| nick-nack | my cpu scaling is not working. sudo modprobe -v powersave, for example, says "FATAL: Module powersave not found." | 11:59 |
| NeoCicak | jaypur: nope | 11:59 |
| lvh | Hello. | 11:59 |
| jrib | jaypur: those haven't been problems for a long time. I don't recall video drivers ever being a problem and adobe provides a 64bit version of flash now | 11:59 |

| jaypur | hmm, so i'll get the 64 version oh yeah | 12:00 |

| NeoCicak | KNUBBIG: i think unity has just crashed on me.. | 12:01 |
| KNUBBIG | NeoCicak: then try relogging :) | 12:02 |
| gartral | jrib: but that's my experience with it. that won't hold true for everyone | 12:02 |

| ubottu | boneseer, please see my private message | 12:35 |
| Soothsayer | how do I check if its enabled or not to its full capacity? | 12:35 |
| zvacet | qkit: maybe is graphic problem I'm not sure,but unity need 3d | 12:35 |
| lightbricko | How do I check if my flash player is GPU accelerated (as it should be)? The issue is that flash (youtube) videos don't run smoothly, however the laptop i ~5 years old. I run 11.04. | 12:35 |
| Naphidia | actually... can someone point me to a tutorial for compiling a NEW kernel downloaded from source from kernels.org i wana do it from scratch | 12:35 |
| dmartinng | Is it just me, or Unity doesn't appear when I boot up from a USB? | 12:35 |
| Hedgehog456 | Finally, the Ubuntu servers are stable now :D | 12:36 |
| KNUBBIG | !kenrel > Naphidia | 12:36 |
| misse- | dmartinng: perhaps becasue you're gfx need drivers to be installed | 12:36 |
| KNUBBIG | !kernel > Naphidia | 12:36 |
| ubottu | Naphidia, please see my private message | 12:36 |
| KNUBBIG | sorry | 12:36 |
| lightbricko | dmartinng: I haven't tried it from USB, but with the 11.04 liveCD (run from CD) I got unity as expected. | 12:36 |
| Naphidia | ty | 12:36 |
| dmartinng | hm. I tried it on two computers and both didn't show Unity | 12:36 |

| qkit | hmm, aha the unity-2d panel is no installed | 12:37 |
| Incarus6 | Nunya, strange. The issue seems to be everything from line 150 to line 170 | 12:37 |

| Nunya | so what do you suggest? | 12:37 |
| T0aD | hi, need some suggestions following this problem: I have a backup box with 4 drives in raid5, and the partition in raid5 (/home) wont mount at start because the fs aint clean. I boot a ubuntu server cd on it, run fsck on it but it keeps segfaulting after reaching some inode | 12:38 |
| lightbricko | dmartinng: Are you using 11.04? | 12:38 |
| dmartinng | yes, just downloaded it couple of hours ago | 12:38 |
| Younder | My Ubuntu 11.4 install can't start the xmanager. It logs in and the fails to respond to aly key or mouse commands.I managed tu shut it down and start a xaw session. Any idea what has happened? | 12:38 |
| dmartinng | I even made sure of it, I checked the software version while running the OS itself | 12:38 |
| zikalify | unity 2d must be installed via ppa, if your graphics card isnt installed you will get classic ubuntu, open additional dirvers app and install your graphics card, reboot and pick unity from login screen and done | 12:38 |
| Incarus6 | Nunya, it looks like it cannot recognize the free space ("<DistUpgradeCache.FreeSpace object at 0x3f762d0>" line 150) | 12:38 |
| Naphidia | god i hope this makes my wireless work, i have the feeling it maybe hte gpu switching on this fucking thing | 12:38 |

| zvacet | Shaggy2: when you see grub choose recovery mode and boot in it | 12:44 |
| Shaggy2 | I don't get to see grub either | 12:44 |
| Nunya | Incarus6 so what do you suggest I do? if I force quit I lose all | 12:44 |
| Nunya | and will most likely have nothing to boot into | 12:45 |
| snoeman | How do I tell for certain which graphics driver my laptop with ubu ntu 10.10 installed is running on. It should be openchrome but I suspect it is running on fbdev | 12:45 |

| zvacet | muneeb: tried to install additional drivers? | 12:46 |
| Vustom | D: help? | 12:46 |
| Incarus6 | Nunya, you didn't restart since the upgrade, correct? | 12:46 |

| Incarus6 | !ask | Vustom | 12:46 |
| ubottu | Vustom: 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. :-) | 12:46 |

| muneeb | zvacet, yes i installed but after ubuntu gave error | 12:46 |
| vibhav | anybody with any problem??? | 12:46 |
| Nunya | last output is cups restarting | 12:47 |
| Incarus6 | Nunya, we can look if all dependeces matches or you could simply reconfigure every package. I hope that works | 12:47 |
| Shaggy2 | vibhuv I just told you my problem | 12:47 |
| Incarus6 | *dependencies | 12:47 |
| Nunya | reconf every package? | 12:47 |
| muneeb | zvacet, i upgraded then ubuntu showed error that it doesnt support hw accl then i installed but no luck | 12:47 |
| Nunya | how do I do that? | 12:47 |
| Incarus6 | Shaggy2, so even grub isn't starting? | 12:47 |
| Vustom | I have deleted my Ubuntu partitions, and only have my Windows partition and my factory_image partition, I'm currently using Ubuntu from the LiveCD and I need to boot into /dev/sda2 but I can't do it with GRUB because it says "error: no partition.. grub rescue>" | 12:47 |

| zvacet | muneeb: sorry I don't know my ati works | 12:48 |
| Shaggy2 | is there a button I can press to force grub to show | 12:48 |
| Incarus6 | Nunya, let's first check the dependencies. just to be sure, you upgraded your computer and it suddenly closed the update window and you didn't restart since then, correct? | 12:48 |
| muneeb | zvacet, did install drivers? | 12:48 |
| zvacet | Shaggy2: shift I think | 12:48 |
| Nunya | correct | 12:48 |
| Nunya | and no the upgrade window is still open | 12:49 |

| Younder | Does 11.04 mess with .Xconfig ? | 12:50 |
| ojii | is there a way to flag folders as 'not-to-be-indexed/searchable' by the unity launcher? | 12:51 |
| Incarus6 | Vustom, the problem is, that when you removed the linux partition you also removed the grub files in /boot/grub, which grub needs to start. | 12:51 |
| robin0800 | Younder, there is no .Xconfig by default | 12:51 |
| Vustom | D: | 12:51 |

| axle | I'm on a very new Lenovo Z370, 2nd generation i5, nvidia geforce 410m. From time to time, ubuntu won't boot, but gives me some kind of an error trace when I boot into recovery mode. It says something like "fixed recursive fault, but reboot is needed". Some times this is the last line of output before it stops, sometimes there are 2 lines about "clocksource" and "tcs" or something like that. When I reboot, I get the same error message ag | 12:52 |
| m_e | i wonder whats the best way to syncronize a folder between my windows and my ubuntu machine | 12:52 |
| webtrickster | can any one tell me how to remove unity from ubuntu 11.04 | 12:52 |
| Soothsayer | webtrickster: you dont have to remove it | 12:52 |
| Incarus6 | Nunya, and it stopped at this point? | 12:53 |
| Soothsayer | webtrickster: just pick classic during login | 12:53 |
| zvacet | mikael: middle muse button | 12:53 |
| Nunya | Incarus6 yes | 12:53 |
| robin0800 | Younder, if you install proprietary nvidia drivers it will add it otherwise its all magic | 12:53 |
| Soothsayer | My boot is stuck at "Checking battery state...." | 12:53 |
| Soothsayer | and this is a desktop | 12:53 |
| webtrickster | i just want to install gnome 3 | 12:53 |
| Soothsayer | the last thing I did was configured my second monitor in Nvidia Server X Settings dialog | 12:53 |
| mtlife | ok can anyone help me? Im out of ideas. I upgraded from lubuntu 10.10 too 11.04, everything seemed fine. Until I wanted to try out unity, so I installed gnome and unity and setup gdm as my login manager. But both gnome and unity are not working properly. | 12:53 |
| Soothsayer | wrote to config | 12:53 |
| botcity | m|kael, ctl + alt + t for a terminal and again if you need two | 12:53 |
| vibhav | <webtrickster> on which ubuntu version? | 12:53 |
| Soothsayer | and rebooting | 12:53 |
| mikebeecham | hi guys...can anyone advise how to enable nvidia recommended drivers? | 12:53 |
| axle | webtrickster: bad idea, very bad idea... I tried it myself, it f*cked up my whole system :/ | 12:53 |
| mikebeecham | I'm being told that I have activated them, but they're not in use | 12:54 |
| webtrickster | 11.04 | 12:54 |
| muneeb | please someone check this error... http://paste.ubuntu.com/600694/ | 12:54 |
| robin0800 | webtrickster, it will break unity | 12:54 |
| mtlife | With gnome I do get the panel, but no minimize/maximize buttons or draggable panels. On unity the panel seems to be completely missing | 12:54 |
| Psychobudgie | webtrickster, there is a guide on the official forums to adding the gnome 3 ppa if you wish to | 12:54 |
| mtlife | any ideas? | 12:54 |
| Younder | robin0800, I do have a proprietary NVidea driver, yes | 12:54 |
| vibhav | <webtrickster> to write to me first write my name (vibhav) and then press enter | 12:54 |
| Incarus6 | Vustom, there are several ways to do this, e.g. http://www.pronetworks.org/forums/how-to-restore-vista-boot-loader-t76643.html this isn't an ubuntu related question, you can find some solutions by googling "bootloader restore" | 12:54 |
| muneeb | something is broken but cant figure out what!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/600694/ | 12:54 |
| webtrickster | vibav:okay | 12:54 |
| Psychobudgie | webtrickster, however be aware if you proceed with gnome 3 you cannot roll back to unity or gnome 2 | 12:54 |
| Shaggy2 | ok I have done the apt-get -f install, there was nothing to install | 12:55 |
| m|kael | botcity: is there a manual somewhere that sumarize all those shortcuts? | 12:55 |
| Incarus6 | Nunya, interesting Font. Lets try "sudo stop cups" | 12:55 |
| robin0800 | younder then you can run nvidia config to create it | 12:55 |
| Nunya | ok | 12:55 |

| vibhav | <sarge> Good Luck | 13:19 |

| LjL | wolf__: i have no idea, but you should check the logs after it hangs. "dmgs" and "cat /var/log/kern.log" and the likes. | 13:23 |
| LjL | wolf__: "dmesg", even. | 13:23 |
| m4rtin | LjL: it dumps to what looks like an initramfs error (with kernel output lines) on normal boot | 13:23 |

| LjL | m4rtin: so when running from CD everything works correctly? | 13:24 |
| AceKing | DamienCassou, I just found a link that says how to do it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Live CD method of opening a encrypted home directory | 13:24 |
| LjL | m4rtin: yeah but the "I/O error" is what worries me | 13:24 |
| DamienCassou | wolf__: a command you can type in the terminal which displays useful logs | 13:24 |
| m4rtin | LjL: I can get a recovery shell and mount the HDD, yes | 13:24 |
| m4rtin | LjL: the IO error is just referring to file not found, I believe | 13:24 |

| tashkas | trying to run igmpproxy | 13:25 |
| LjL | m4rtin: well i don't know, but for me a file not found error never was given as an I/O error, while I/O error has always meant there was something wrong reading the actual disk. so i still suggest you install smartmontools in the live CD and give the HDD a check. | 13:25 |
| Soothsayer | ok Unity is not that bad | 13:26 |
| Soothsayer | You just need to get use to it | 13:26 |
| Soothsayer | I can see a lot of potential. | 13:26 |

| m4rtin | LjL: ok, will do, but the file doesn't exist, so it can't read it.... | 13:27 |

| BlouBlou | Well, I fixed my graphic card problem. It was installing but not being used.

Now Unity works (but anyways I won't use it :P) | 13:27 |
| pumeust | jrib, i edited it in the terminal | 13:27 |
| jrib | Al-Bawi: follow the server instructions (do-release-upgrade) | 13:27 |

| nevvermind1 | uhm... yeah. i've just chmod'ed everything to "www-data" user. including "/etc/sudoers". any chance I can "sudo su root" again? i'm currently stuck with user "ubuntu". | 13:28 |
| Elliot_Erased | Hi | 13:28 |
| pumeust | LjL, i'm not sure if its user or global | 13:28 |
| LjL | m4rtin: that file is in this package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/khelpcenter4 so you can always install this in the live CD, and then copy the file over to your HD. | 13:28 |
| Elliot_Erased | I encountered a problem while installing 11.04 | 13:28 |
| Soothsayer | botcity: I cannot tell vouch for its performance cause im on a quadcore with 4 gb ram here. | 13:28 |
| Soothsayer | but looks fast | 13:28 |
| LjL | pumeust: what did you type to edit it | 13:28 |
| jrib | nevvermind1: if you really mean everything when you say "everything", then it's time to reinstall | 13:28 |
| Soothsayer | just the unity bar on the left is ugly | 13:28 |
| Soothsayer | and big | 13:29 |

| nevvermind1 | thx, jrib | 13:29 |

| pumeust | LjL, i typed a command to schedule a task | 13:29 |
| kandinski | I am having a weird interaction between irssi/gnome-terminal/natty: alt-w, which before upgrading to natty took me to the 12th irssi screen, on gnome terminal selects all text in the terminal, despite alt-w not being listed as a keyboard shortcut either on gnome-terminal or on gnome. Any idea what it can be and how to fix it? | 13:29 |
| jrib | nevvermind1: and don't « sudo su root ». If you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » | 13:29 |
| KNUBBIG | botcity: ccsm -> unity -> change icon size | 13:29 |
| Elliot_Erased | the error given is that it can not install it. | 13:29 |
| LjL | pumeust: right, what command | 13:29 |
| DamienCassou | Soothsayer: 'ccsm' in the terminal to make it smaller | 13:29 |

| KNUBBIG | botcity: no problem :) Worked fine for me | 13:30 |
| Soothsayer | What's the keyboard shortcut for the launcher ? | 13:30 |
| DamienCassou | pumeust: use 'crontab -e' to edit your crontab file | 13:30 |
| LjL | pumeust: "crontab -e" will let you edit the user's crontab, yes | 13:30 |
| KNUBBIG | Soothsayer: Alt + f2 | 13:30 |

| Pici | pumeust: you need to save without your editor though. It'll save to a temp file and automagically install the crontab as you exit. | 13:35 |
| Rigorm0rtis | Could I at least change the titlebar text color then? With the New Wave theme it is Black on dark gray for the main panel. | 13:36 |

| Glacia | hello: quick question. Is there an easy guide out there to teach how to SSH to different devices? | 13:50 |
| coz_ | Incarus6, how is it disappointing for you? | 13:51 |

| Dr_Willis | Glacia: thats about all there is to it. :) | 13:51 |
| Incarus6 | coz_, it's not working for me (and gnome looks ugly and is old) :D I'm using KDE, just wanted to test Unity | 13:51 |
| toggles | or maybe someone could tell me how to start a new copy of terminal without requiring three keys | 13:51 |
| infamous | im going to try something thanks | 13:51 |
| Glacia | Dr_willis: how do i find the ip of said device | 13:51 |

| Glacia | Dr_willis: via terminal | 13:51 |
| mikebot | Is there any way to increase the performance of ubuntu? For some reason it is running slower than my windows :? (I installed it on the same partition.) | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Glacia: check the device. or scan your network with nmap or other tools. | 13:52 |
| Soothsayer | found it, it's the Super button | 13:52 |
| coz_ | Incarus6, so you tried calssic gnome or Unity with the side launcher? | 13:52 |
| toggles | Dr_Willis: ccsm? | 13:52 |

| Soothsayer | studentz: ignore that | 13:53 |
| Incarus6 | coz_ I can just see the files on my desktop in Unity, nothing else (no menus, etc, except the right click menü), opening these files is working. Im using Nvidia with the proprietary driver (GT220) | 13:53 |

| Glacia | what the hey is going on | 13:54 |
| Soothsayer | studentz: if that dialog opens, means your drivers are installed. | 13:54 |

I can see networks, when I try and connect to one the animated WiFi icon on the top bar freezes if I click it | 13:54 |
| osse | mikebot, what do you mean by "on the same partition"? Did you install it from within Windows? | 13:55 |
| Belinrahs | btw natty I can't even compile the driver so i reverted to 10.10 | 13:55 |
| mikebot | osse: Yes. | 13:55 |

| raymondjtoth3 | im in classic mode | 13:57 |

| Incarus6 | studentz, I had the same problem. Run jockey and enable the driver with that | 14:00 |
| Soothsayer | osse: how come I don't have that tab? | 14:00 |

| AceKing | usr13, knick, But is there a way to show in the panel which programs are open? I'm really trying to give this a shot before I switch back to Classic Ubuntu | 14:00 |
| osse | mikebot, then probably you don't have any desktop effects at all, because somehow it's not supported. Do you know what graphics card you have? | 14:00 |
| raymondjtoth3 | usr13, what i do yes it was | 14:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !find mirrorselect | 14:00 |
| Belinrahs | _Platypus_: not quite sure what you mean by a widescreen effect? | 14:00 |
| KNUBBIG | Is it normal that there's no start splash while booting? | 14:00 |
| Incarus6 | knick, thank you | 14:00 |

| studentz | Soothsayer Yep | 14:01 |
| Glacia | weird i dont know what just happened | 14:01 |
| raymondjtoth3 | usr13, you still here | 14:01 |

| Soothsayer | daxroc: get what sorted? | 14:01 |
| mikebot | osse: No, but this is pretty bad... (I've had other versions on this computer). Also, there are some problems with clicking "OK" and "yes" and "No" in diaglog boxes | 14:01 |
| mikebot | Ughh | 14:01 |
| Dr_Willis | using the launcher - guide i just saw ---> http://omgubuntu.co.uk/natty/#launcher | 14:01 |
| daxroc | Soothsayer: Dual monitors | 14:01 |
| Glacia | Dr_willis, on my phone I connect to username@ip address right>? | 14:01 |

| Dr_Willis | Glacia: thats the normal ssh way yes. | 14:02 |
| raymondjtoth3 | guess i get no sireless?( | 14:02 |
| studentz | Soothsayer also I run nvidia-xconfig and I got stock after grub. So I restarted as a single mode | 14:02 |
| Belinrahs | _Platypus_: you need to set your screen resolution to a widescreen format | 14:02 |
| raymondjtoth3 | any thing i do to fix this | 14:02 |
| daxroc | Soothsayer: how did you get it working ? | 14:02 |
| usr13 | raymondjtoth3: iwconfig | 14:02 |
| dmsuperman | What's the easiest way to tell apt to pull a package not from a specific repo? | 14:02 |
| dmsuperman | ie ignore packge-name in repo-name | 14:02 |
| usr13 | raymondjtoth3: What does that say iwconfig | 14:02 |
| Glacia | Dr_willis, do i have to do anything on my computer side first | 14:02 |
| KNUBBIG | Incarus6: hahaha :D | 14:02 |
| AceKing | knick, I hope they redesign this. It looks like a lot of people aren't happy with this | 14:02 |
| gkahn | hi, anyone can tell me how to download lib64qt3 for Ubuntu 10.04? | 14:02 |
| Soothsayer | daxroc: ok one thing I did was this http://joeslifewithubuntu.blogspot.com/2010/12/update-on-nvidia-96-driver-with-ubuntu.html | 14:02 |
| sipior | wli: given that you'd need to rebuild the whole of binutils, and likely glibc as well, it would be vastly simpler just to move to a proper 64-bit install. | 14:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Glacia: you need ssh client installed :) but thats a default on ubuntu systems | 14:03 |
| manu-UB | anyone could help me with my graphic driver problem? | 14:03 |
| coz_ | Incarus6, cute | 14:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Glacia: and the phone needs a ssh server installed. | 14:03 |
| osse | mikebot, did you find the Visual Effects tab,? | 14:03 |
| janjiss | Hi! How can i make my server to start up on boot? I have nginx wich is located in /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx | 14:03 |
| mikebot | osse: No | 14:03 |
| knick | AceKing: I used to have an all customized menu, with the tools i preferred and all, but that seems to have gone.. Now if I need a program I just have to type it | 14:03 |
| Dr_Willis | janjiss: quick and dirty way. run it from /etc/rc.local | 14:03 |
| Glacia | i am using irssi on my phoe | 14:03 |
| Soothsayer | daxroc: and I realized that the Nvida X Server settings window has all the other configuratiosn I need to do. Like enabling the second monitor. | 14:03 |
| Soothsayer | brb, need to logout, login | 14:03 |
| _Platypus_ | Belinrahs: So that should make it where it remains full screen? And how would I do that? Under System Settings? | 14:03 |
| Glacia | it is a ssh server client | 14:03 |
| KNUBBIG | ssh server client? | 14:03 |
| raymondjtoth3 | usr13 that it | 14:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Glacia: i use some android specific irc clients. | 14:03 |
| syrinx_ | lol | 14:03 |
| janjiss | Dr_Willis: I need to 'ln' it? | 14:03 |
| osse | Soothsayer, I don't know why you don't have that tab. | 14:03 |
| AceKing | knick, I know, it's like they took a step back in a way | 14:04 |
| Dr_Willis | janjiss: no.. edit rc.local add it near the end. | 14:04 |
| usr13 | raymondjtoth3: Did it say "No wireless extensions" on all devices? | 14:04 |
| Belinrahs | _Platypus_: Just a moment | 14:04 |
| janjiss | Ok, thanx | 14:04 |
| wli | sipior: Um, the stock compiler and binutils already build 64-bit kernels. | 14:04 |
| raymondjtoth3 | that everthing | 14:04 |
| raymondjtoth3 | from that comnmand | 14:04 |
| _Platypus_ | Belinrahs: No problem. Thank you for taking the time to help me. | 14:04 |
| sipior | wli: yes. but how do you plan on loading shared libraries with a broken loader? | 14:04 |

| Soothsayer | anyone using ubuntu tweak on 11.04 ? | 14:06 |
| osse | mikebot, then I don't know. Sorry. Maybe it will help if you install Ubuntu not from within Windows, but that can be a bit complicated if you're not experienced with creating partitions and so on | 14:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Soothsayer: i was during beta. not tried it this week | 14:06 |
| usr13 | raymondjtoth3: and rfkill list all | 14:06 |
| Incarus6 | zap0, yes, a graphical editor with su rights | 14:07 |
| _Platypus_ | Belinrahs: Thanks :) | 14:07 |
| usr13 | raymondjtoth3: but I don't know what that was all about. Maybe something to it. I don't know. | 14:07 |
| Soothsayer | why did I read somewhere chrome was a part of this Ubuntu ? | 14:07 |
| mikebot | osse: It's that lenovo doesn't know how to make computers very well, came shippsed with the maximum number of partitions all already used. | 14:07 |
| mikebot | osse: OK, thank | 14:07 |
| mikebot | s | 14:07 |
| knick | Soothsayer: didn't say it was part of it, but compatible with. | 14:07 |
| Dr_Willis | mikebot: ive seen that on Other brand PCs also. | 14:07 |
| Incarus6 | zap0, but try "nano", its an easy command line editor, simpler then vim | 14:07 |
| Soothsayer | knick: i don't see it in the software centre | 14:07 |
| shaneo_ | can someone give me a hand with gnome3 i hate it and want ubuntu classic back | 14:07 |
| knick | You might have to manually download it | 14:08 |
| zap0 | Incarus6, i didn't mean a text editor. | 14:08 |
| Dr_Willis | shaneo_: use the ppa-purge command to remove it prehaps.. and reinstall ubuntu-desktop | 14:08 |
| Tetsuo55 | having the running apps on the left sure takes getting used too | 14:08 |
| Psychobudgie | shaneo_, you will have to reinstall | 14:08 |
| Incarus6 | zap0, you can change the sources in the software center too | 14:08 |
| shaneo_ | reinstall ?? | 14:08 |
| shaneo_ | as in my while OS | 14:08 |
| sweb | compiz could not be install inside ubuntu unity ? | 14:08 |
| Psychobudgie | shaneo_, you know that whole warning about not being able to roll back changes made when you enable the ppa, they weren't joking | 14:09 |
| Soothsayer | how do I make Ubuntu (with Unity) as the default option during login? | 14:09 |
| shaneo_ | no didnt see it | 14:09 |
| Soothsayer | I picked Gnome classic once.. and it is that by default :@ | 14:09 |
| shaneo_ | downloaded it through ubuntu tweak | 14:10 |
| wli | sipior: Eh? 32-bit emulation works fine. | 14:10 |
| shaneo_ | so well it looks like im using gnome3 than | 14:10 |
| Incarus6 | Soothsayer, did you boot unity one time since then? | 14:10 |
| pfarrell_ | hi! I'm trying to upgrade, but when I click upgrade in the update manager, it just goes grey, freezes, and then says "could not download release notes" | 14:10 |
| shaneo_ | cause i am not reinstalling and losing all my data | 14:10 |
| pfarrell_ | is the server down? | 14:10 |
| DJRoby4 | hello | 14:10 |
| sssstavr | Soothsayer just select it once and it will then stay as default | 14:10 |
| JohnFlux | pfarrell_: I get that error too, and came to ask the same thing :) | 14:10 |
| osse | mikebot, if you use a so-called extended partition instead of a primary partion you can have as many partitions as you like. The extended partitions works as a "frame" you but logical partitions. But still it means you have to remove one of the partitions you have now. | 14:10 |
| sipior | wli: you haven't tried it, have you. | 14:10 |
| Soothsayer | sssstavr: its not! | 14:10 |
| Incarus6 | shaneo_, whats the exact problem? | 14:10 |
| pfarrell_ | JohnFlux: are you also in GB, by any chance? | 14:11 |
| Belinrahs | DJRoby4: hello, can we help you? | 14:11 |
| JohnFlux | pfarrell_: yes | 14:11 |
| Incarus6 | Belinrahs, he left | 14:11 |

| sipior | wli: if you want a 64-bit kernel, just install a 64-bit distro, and save yourself an enormous amount of trouble. or don't, your business, of course. | 14:15 |
| Belinrahs | Janusman: in ubuntu you should be able to upgrade normally | 14:15 |

| Glacia | usr13, no my ssh client on my phone just shows connecting..... and nothing | 14:16 |

| RichardJ | If I install a proprietary driver for my graphics card (ATI/AMD FGLRX) and that results in not being able to boot, what could I then do about it? | 14:17 |
| Soothsayer | I just removed the minimize and maximize button from the titlebar and only kept the close. Double clicking titlebar minimizes the window instead... looks cleaner :) | 14:17 |

| Belinrahs | Nunya: off topic, but I really like how you have your interface set up :) | 14:19 |
| Skei | JohnFlux, in Settings, I think it's the Sources tab, perhaps. | 14:19 |
| jAguAr` | trijntje, i need to know how to fix this issue | 14:19 |
| Skei | JohnFlux, there's an option to select "Best Server" which tests all of them and returns the best choice. | 14:19 |

| myrkraverk | Incarus6: Is there a chance an installation will work better than a live cd somehow? | 14:30 |
| spicy | Hello I have a question. I have an Intel machine and I wish to download the new 64bit version of Ubuntu, but when I try to download the 64bit it downloads the AMD version (I have an intel processor not an AMD processor). Where is the Intel 64bit version of Ubuntu? | 14:30 |
| Belinrahs | anyone with wifi experience could you look at my post, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742650 -- I would be very grateful - thanks! | 14:30 |
| Dr_Willis | inflex: i just had that happen to my usb mouse on the live cd. | 14:30 |
| myrkraverk | spicy: It's the same thing. | 14:30 |
| Incarus6 | myrkraverk, you could try a live cd, but there is no warranty that it will work | 14:30 |
| Al-Bawi | hi there , i have a problem upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 , it says The upgrade has aborted. Please check your Internet connection or installation media and try again. All files downloaded so far are kept. | 14:30 |
| myrkraverk | spicy: I'm using amd64 solaris on an intel machine. | 14:30 |
| inflex | Dr_Willis: yes, the mouse did stop once, but it's come back reliably since the last 3 boots | 14:30 |
| myrkraverk | Incarus6: ok. | 14:31 |
| julian__ | berinrahs AMD its called 64 bits procesors | 14:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Al-Bawi: servers are hitting heavy load. and are not stable. | 14:31 |
| wli | sipior: Typically there was a script in there that applied the patches starting from virgin kernel source (or some approximation there of). | 14:31 |
| muneeb | BlouBlou, after upgradation it gave error like it doesnt support 3d... but after then installed drivers but still no luck | 14:31 |
| myrkraverk | spicy: plus, it's politically correct to call the platform amd64 since they invented the platform. | 14:31 |
| Incarus6 | myrkraverk, I allways prefer new software over old, otherwise I would use Debian | 14:31 |
| Janusman | julian__, look at "Install Compiz Config Settings Manager" under http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/04/12-things-i-did-after-installing-new.html | 14:31 |

| myrkraverk | Incarus6: Haha, ok. | 14:31 |
| Al-Bawi | Dr_Willis , you mean that i should try any time later? | 14:31 |
| BlouBlou | muneeb: You need to have 3D rendering | 14:32 |
| Glacia | usr13, ok i need the sudo apt-get now what | 14:32 |

| izinucs | AceKing: install compiz config settings manager and change the settings so it never disappears.. the only time mine "goes away" is when I have a program full screen | 14:49 |
| UserX | Soothsayer: click 'File System' | 14:49 |

| UserX | Soothsayer: on the left panel (if you have it) | 14:50 |
| jrib | lucydarrow: it's a pool of servers not just one server I believe | 14:50 |
| Soothsayer | by the way, the super user in Ubuntu is the same as the username created while installing right? | 14:50 |
| mongy | ScottR3, use ccsm and edit the 'grid' options | 14:50 |
| === alex_ is now known as aLky | ||
| LjL | Soothsayer: sort of. the first user created gets put in the "admin" group, which means it can use "sudo" | 14:50 |

| usr13 | Soothsayer: Yes | 14:50 |

| ScottR3 | mongy: ahh.. ubuntu is once again not irritating! thanks! | 14:51 |
| mtlife | matt[vic[: window decorator doesnt show up in the default view btw, had to do advanced search | 14:51 |
| LjL | cousin_mario: i have an old Nvidia card, FX5200... it's done its work, but saying i'm "happy" might be excessive, i guess i'll be happy when we have free drivers that work fine | 14:51 |
| serene | , | 14:51 |
| matt[vic[ | mylife: hmmm... okay. We can brute force it by adding a new startup application. Hold on. | 14:51 |
| Soothsayer | so if i need a terminal as root | 14:51 |
| Soothsayer | i do a | 14:52 |
| Soothsayer | su root? | 14:52 |
| jrib | !root | Soothsayer | 14:52 |
| ubottu | Soothsayer: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 14:52 |
| tjader | can I add more than one user using preseeding? | 14:52 |
| MrCraig | what is meant by "There is no application installed for executable files"? | 14:52 |
| LjL | Soothsayer: no, "sudo -i" | 14:52 |
| usr13 | Soothsayer: sudo su - | 14:52 |

| Harkins_ | I was installing Natty last night with update-manager, it crashed 90% of the way through the 'install' step. Machine unbootable. I'm creating a Live CD now, could anyone suggest recovery steps to inspect and reinstall packages? I don't know how to do that, don't want to wipe and start over. | 14:52 |
| cousin_mario | LjL: I meant "happy" as in "working with the binary driver after the upgrade to natty". | 14:52 |
| AceKing | izinucs, I'm curious, can you update a computer running Ubuntu 10.10 to KUbuntu 11.04? The reason I ask is that I have Ubuntu 10.10 on my parents computer, and they will be totally lost with this. | 14:52 |
| usr13 | sudo -i works too | 14:52 |
| muneeb | are you able to run flash site in Natty 64bit? | 14:52 |
| LjL | cousin_mario: ah, i'm afraid i haven't used natty :) i'm still on Hardy :P | 14:52 |
| Soothsayer | ye, just experimenting | 14:52 |
| leagris | serene, yes so? | 14:52 |
| Soothsayer | sudo su is nice | 14:52 |
| ScottR3 | AceKing: you don't have to use Unity. I turned it off because I didn't like it | 14:53 |
| jrib | eol > LjL | 14:53 |
| matt[vic[ | mtlife: go to system -> preferences -> startup applications. Once there, click add, name it "Start my Window Decorator" and put as the command "/usr/bin/compiz-decorator --replace" | 14:53 |
| cousin_mario | AceKing: I don't recommend that. 11.04 has more bugs than a pack of stray St. Bernard. | 14:53 |
| matt[vic[ | Unity is crap. Dunno what they are thinking | 14:53 |
| nmvictor | MrCraig, just that, simple english. Right click the file in question, select "Open with other application" and select an application you believe can handle that file type. | 14:53 |
| mtlife | matt[vic[: mm while im sure that will make it work, why isnt it there in the first place? | 14:53 |
| serene | leagris, there is a layouts, and use add | 14:53 |
| ScottR3 | matt[vic[ makes me happy to see someone in the know hates it too | 14:53 |
| tomasz | hi | 14:54 |
| AceKing | ScottR3, I thought I read that people were having some problems using the Classic Ubuntu desktop. | 14:54 |
| tomasz | i have some idea | 14:54 |
| matt[vic[ | mtlife, I'm not sure - it must be something when you messed around with the other window manager | 14:54 |
| MrCraig | nmvictor, it's an exe, one I've just compiled and linked - it should run stand-alone. | 14:54 |
| ScottR3 | AceKing: can't speak for them, personal experience only... dropped back down, no issues so far | 14:54 |
| _trine | I have just tried the new ubuntu, the new layout is terrible | 14:54 |
| tomasz | can developes add opera mini 4.2 to ubuntu default ? | 14:54 |
| === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC | ||
| leagris | serene, yes, the french layouts are there, the problem is the disposition is wrong confirmed by preview | 14:54 |
| AceKing | ScottR3, Ok, thanks! | 14:54 |
| jon_athon | for anyone using XChat, how do I make "Hide Join/Part Messages" the default? | 14:55 |
| matt[vic[ | trine: indeed, it's terrible | 14:55 |
| tomasz | its the best browser for user with 3g | 14:55 |
| MrCraig | I'll ask the compiler guys, maybe it's doing something odd :) | 14:55 |
| nmvictor | Wow! Distribution upgrade, Calculating changes, really taking years ... Will I ever finish this upgrade process? | 14:55 |
| ScottR3 | AceKing: to drop back down, just select "Ubuntu Classic" at the login screen | 14:55 |
| AceKing | cousin_mario, Are you talking about 11.04 in general having problems? | 14:55 |
| izinucs | AceKing: yes but it's a multi step process.. first install kubuntu-desktop on 10.10.. then go through the upgrade process. if you have them setup with a separate /home directory (hopefully), you can simply reinstall 11.04 overtop which is infinetely faster and more insured of a positive outcome. Keep in mind kde is similar to older gnome but you'll still be giving instructions | 14:55 |
| mtlife | matt[vic[: could it also have to do with something that i had 10.10 lubuntu installed instead of the regular ubuntu? | 14:55 |
| serene | leagris, you mean when you press a key, it turns out to be another? | 14:55 |
| _trine | matt[vic[, I have scrapped it and am now install 10.10 again | 14:55 |
| izinucs | AceKing: also if you havent used it yet.. you might set them up on teamviewer so you can remote in easily and "show" them how to do things. | 14:55 |
| nmvictor | 11.04 is full of crap, reminds me of Karmic, the most bugged ubuntu release ever | 14:56 |
| matt[vic[ | mtlife, possibly, I'm not sure. I have never used lubuntu. I would have assumed switching sessions would keep your window decorators though | 14:56 |
| matt[vic[ | mrlife, oh! it might be that you are still on the lubuntu theme. try going to system -> preferences -> appearance and selecting a theme there | 14:56 |
| Dr_Willis | nmvictor: demand a refund. | 14:56 |
| ScottR3 | nmvictor - i'm starting to get that feeling too... | 14:56 |
| jatt | 11.04 is beta | 14:56 |
| rigved | nmvictor: sts versions generally are...consider sticking to LTS versions only | 14:57 |
| ScottR3 | 11.04 was released yesterday jatt | 14:57 |

| jrib | jatt: 11.04 is no longer beta | 14:57 |
| matt[vic[ | mtlife, the lubuntu window decorator might have been uninstalled when you dist-upgraded | 14:57 |

| escott | tharsis, well lineakd has all the stuff you need xsendkeys/xevtest. what happens when you cat into the keyboard device? maybe you can create a fake keyboard device that pipes text through it. you could also try | 15:25 |
| SoftTimur | ActionParsnip: I do not know how to use about:config in a Firefox command | 15:25 |
| Thriky | I did imagine doing this via SSH is asking for trouble | 15:25 |

| gwallace42 | escott: according to df and /proc/mounts /dev/sda is mounted to / | 15:41 |
| schneidmaster | Hey, does anyone know how to modify application launchers in natty? (ie, change the command) | 15:41 |
| SoftTimur | step2: I do not see what is "unity"? | 15:41 |
| escott | gwallace42, sda or sda1? | 15:41 |
| step2 | SoftTimur, the new default desktop with one panel on top and one on the left | 15:42 |
| SoftTimur | step2: I just do not like the position of the top panel, I want to put it on the right | 15:42 |
| escott | gwallace42, can you ls the contents of /home then? do you see your home folder | 15:42 |
| NyvenZA | vibhav: ok, on one screen teh same thing happens, the icons are just not stretched | 15:42 |
| gwallace42 | escott: i see everything in my /home directory. | 15:42 |
| step2 | SoftTimur, I got that but I need to know what you are using. if you are in unity you can't move it | 15:42 |
| NyvenZA | I think ramb0 anad I have a similar probblem | 15:43 |
| escott | gwallace42, hmmm well thats weird | 15:43 |
| SERGioooo | schnuffle: so it;'s not yet fixed/ | 15:43 |
| SERGioooo | ? | 15:43 |

| ramb0 | NyvenZA, I didn't read your problem >.< I can't just log in into natty :( | 15:43 |
| gwallace42 | escott: I tried the previous command to mkdir rootfs in /mnt and mount to that, but can';t as fjile system is in read-only mode. | 15:43 |
| NyvenZA | ramb0: I upgraded and I just get the desktop | 15:44 |

| NyvenZA | I can't click on anything and I can't use the keyboardshortcuts | 15:44 |

| slimjimflim | anybody know the best way to install eclipse pdt on ubuntu? | 15:44 |
| step2 | SoftTimur, I told you ... it's a desktop environment that is new with one panel at the left (that autohides) and one on the top. there is still the option to choose the old environment on login | 15:44 |
| NyvenZA | I do see that if I move my mouse over where the login should be , the edit cursor appreas | 15:44 |
| step2 | !unity | 15:44 |

| NyvenZA | not yet, | 15:46 |
| defiantredpill | vsftpd | 15:46 |
| step2 | schneidmaster, you can remove the other one. making a custom one prob. easier than modifying | 15:46 |
| NyvenZA | ramb0: have you ? | 15:46 |
| nphase | defiantredpill: cool thx | 15:46 |
| nphase | so not proftpd? | 15:46 |
| escott | gwallace42, if you can remount you could try sudo init 5 to see if you can get to a gui | 15:47 |
| ramb0 | its not my computer which has the problem, it's my uncle's computer, who is in another state :P can't just tell him "reinstall GDM" | 15:47 |

| Fredje | maximus_: lol!, I did not even notices:P | 15:48 |
| escott | gwallace42, have you ever waited to see if the error will disappear on its own? | 15:49 |
| defiantredpill | vsftpd is what ubuntu recomends in the server guide, i used it before, config is not too bad. never used proftpd | 15:49 |

| nodie | how can I do that? | 15:49 |
| Aikar | nodie: if i was gonna keep unity i woulda asked you how you did that, i hate auto hide, but im ditching unity | 15:49 |

| joru | im running the livecd of 11.04 and suddenly i can only use mouse, no more way of clicking windows etc. ideas? | 15:53 |

| rpk | usr13: I don't care if my packages are verified, I want it to just work | 15:57 |
| escott | gwallace42, if it were me I would see if there is some what to slow down the boot process. i know you could do it by gunziping the initrd, and adding a sleep somewhere between when udev starts and the remount happens | 15:57 |
| escott | gwallace42, there may be a better way though | 15:57 |

| gwallace42 | escott: i tried one of the older kernels in grub just to see if it makes a difference, but that didn't. I may just have to download the image on my laptop and re-install. I will check grub and see if the is something in there that can slow the boot process. | 15:58 |

| rpk | however, apt-add-repository should not, but does | 16:09 |
| Vhozard | how can I add vga=xxx to grub ? | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: ping uses a different protocol so may be different | 16:10 |
| usr13 | Sylphid: There are different types of proxys | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Vhozard: add it in /etc/default/grub in the quotes with: quiet splash | 16:10 |
| rpk | oh, and as an aside, how am I supposed to get to windows under other windows in unity? | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Vhozard: then run: sudo update-grub | 16:10 |

| koichirose | Hello, I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 and many firefox icons don't show up anymore, including the back button, stop button and the firefox icon itself (!). How do I fix it? | 16:11 |
| rpk | like if I have this chat windows open with chrome over it, and I get a notification that someone replied | 16:11 |
| usr13 | Sylphid: There is HTTP Proxy and Transparent Proxy etc. | 16:11 |
| Sylphid | usr13, ping will only ever go through the proxy if it is also the default route | 16:11 |
| noteventime | rpk: I think the new bar thing gives you a list of all available windows for each application as a popup (similarly to the way gnome can group similar windows) | 16:11 |
| rpk | how do i switch back to chat without minimizing chrome | 16:11 |
| rpk | yeah, but I have two monitors and its all the way on the left | 16:11 |
| Dr_Willis | rpk: i just alt-tab a lot. | 16:11 |
| maximm | how do i support 2 monitors ? | 16:11 |
| maximm | i can only use one atm since the upgrade | 16:11 |
| rpk | and with the new bar I have no way to select which specific windows i'd like to open | 16:12 |
| rpk | either | 16:12 |
| bl4ckcomb` | maximm, make sure you have the correct display driver | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | rpk: the omgubuntu blog site has a wallpaper- keyboard shortcuts thing. may be in there. | 16:12 |
| rpk | it pretty much sucks right now :( | 16:12 |
| usr13 | Sylphid: With a Transparent Proxy, it will be the default route. | 16:12 |
| maximm | the other is enabled but unity isn't runnin on it and it is just my wallpaper | 16:12 |
| Liiin | Hello | 16:12 |
| bl4ckcomb` | maximm, what card do you use? | 16:12 |
| rpk | Dr_Willis: already looked at that already | 16:12 |
| Sylphid | usr13, correct | 16:12 |
| maximm | i had it setup before it sees my nvidia | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | rpk: if you have 3 terminals open and 1 icon. and click on that icon it should do a layout of all 3. | 16:12 |
| usr13 | Sylphid: What he has is probably HTTP proxy. | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Vhozard: grub2 doesn't use that now, editting the grub file will add the option to all future kernels for you | 16:12 |
| Sylphid | usr13, agreed | 16:12 |
| maximm | just no window decorator or menus on the second screen | 16:12 |

| ActionParsnip | rpk: then add the ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list then manually import the key | 16:13 |
| Liiin | is it possible? | 16:13 |
| NyvenZA | ok, I have now tried to install lightdm as a replacement for gdm and when I start it, i just get a black screen | 16:13 |
| bl4ckcomb` | maximm, do you use some kind of desktop composition? | 16:13 |
| rpk | noteventime: no, thats what i wish it did | 16:13 |
| NyvenZA | I then stopped lightdm again and just ran startx | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | dennda: not sure, could log it | 16:14 |
| maximm | compiz | 16:14 |
| chadi | is it safe to kill ubiquity? | 16:14 |
| Dr_Willis | shane4ubuntu1: the ombubuntu blog site has a wallpaper image listing the shortcuts | 16:14 |
| rpk | ActionParsnip: I can't do that for every ppa all day long. Thats why I want to just disable gpg | 16:14 |
| shane4ubuntu1 | also on pidgin I have no scroll bar to scroll down on this thing, or up. | 16:14 |
| NyvenZA | I get the desktop icons appearing and the mouse, but no menus, side bar and rightclick mensues | 16:14 |
| Dr_Willis | shane4ubuntu1: look closely.. the scroll bar sort of auto-hide in a lot of apps now | 16:14 |
| bl4ckcomb` | maximm, maybe you should recheck your xorg configuration or read your messages log for compiz errors | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | rpk: if you go to the ppa page, you'll see the key and you can copy / paste the text to a file then run: sudo apt-key add file | 16:16 |
| usr13 | rpk: Did you do as ActionParsnip said and add the config line appropriately? | 16:16 |
| maximm | yeah will do some digging thnx | 16:16 |
| rpk | ActionParsnip: invalid gpg keys letting malicious software be installed isn't a real world problem | 16:16 |
| shane4ubuntu1 | Dr_Willis: I'm sorry, not another desktop, I have dual screen and want to drag it over to the other screen | 16:16 |
| rpk | usr13: yeah | 16:16 |
| chadi | Please help me guys, I am stuck in the middle of the installation :/ | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | rpk: well you have a workaround til it gets sorted | 16:16 |
| rpk | usr13: it was already there, apt-add-repository doesn't respect that setting | 16:16 |
| NyvenZA | when I try and click on an icon and trag it, the mouse Icon changes to a drag icon, but nothing actaully happens to the icons ont he desktop | 16:16 |
| Dr_Willis | shane4ubuntu1: if full screened. they are proberly locked. you would need to un-max them Perhaps a compiz keybinding coulkd do it without unmaxing them first | 16:16 |
| rpk | ActionParsnip: its been open since early 9.04 builds | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | chadi: if it hasn't finished then you will have half an OS | 16:16 |

| Osmodivs | ChogyDan, I dunno, but I typed apt-get install update-manager-core && sudo do-release-upgrade, but it is just upgrading Python 3.1 | 16:32 |
| lucas-arg | DasEi: ill try downgrading the kernel then... | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | rpk: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 16:32 |
| DasEi | lucas-arg:(/etc/default/grub) | 16:32 |
| DasEi | lucas-arg : (/etc/default/grub) * | 16:32 |
| elxordi | katorz: what graphics device has your computer? | 16:32 |
| rpk | ActionParsnip: yep, also ran the test cd for defects from the cd itself | 16:32 |
| gmitrev | hi guys, anyone has any idea why my network applet is missing after the update? | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | rpk: and memory test? | 16:32 |
| lucas-arg | DasEi: all there is default also... | 16:32 |
| vibhav | <elxordi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/600825/ | 16:32 |
| ChogyDan | Osmodivs: I dunno, pastebin? | 16:32 |
| rpk | ActionParsnip: yeah. | 16:32 |
| vibhav | whats your problem chadi? | 16:33 |
| rpk | Its great that they want to release every 6 months, but someone should really introduce them to the idea of tested configurations and blockers | 16:33 |
| dennda | Is it me or does unity totally fuck up with gvim? | 16:33 |
| katorz | elxordi: a 8400 gs nvidia card | 16:33 |
| ActionParsnip | rpk: in the livecd, update the gparted and ubiquity packaes from the repos, may help | 16:33 |
| arrow203 | Good morning, I just did an online, inplace upgrade of 10.10 last night to 11.04. Now, on first boot, I receive an error and it hangs - udevd-work[90]: '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v000010DEd000001D7sv00001179sd0000FF31bc03sc00i00' unexpected exit with status 0x0009 | 16:33 |
| vibhav | <dennda> WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE! | 16:33 |
| Renski | having an issue with my netbook which has ubuntu 10.10 installed on it. everytime I run ifconfig wlan0 down the entire machine locks up | 16:33 |
| DasEi | lucas-arg : beep and longer timeout can make choosing other kernel easier,case ongoing panics | 16:33 |
| chadi | vibhav: I killed ubiquity, and restarted it; it's fine now - thank you for asking | 16:33 |
| dennda | vibhav: STOP SCREAMING! | 16:33 |
| lucas-arg | DasEi: weird bug | 16:34 |
| rpk | ActionParsnip: so boot into the livecd and try updating packages before running the installer? i'll have him try that later tonight then | 16:34 |
| arrow203 | my guess is there's some sort of driver issue due to the modprobe - forgive me, I'm not especially familiar with Linux... advice? | 16:34 |
| elxordi | vibhav: cool, i can understand now. anyway, with the 11:04 update, all system has not smooth graphics... either with radeon driver | 16:34 |
| DasEi | lucas-arg : not occuring in my vm | 16:34 |
| elxordi | katorz: wait a second, please | 16:34 |
| vibhav | <elxordi> Ok | 16:34 |
| ActionParsnip | rpk: yeah it may solve bugs and such | 16:34 |
| elxordi | vibhav: so, if that happened to you, what would you do? | 16:35 |
| vibhav | <elxordi> Leave it as it is.....As i know the graphic capabilities of my card. | 16:35 |
| lucas-arg | DasEi: i installed a 64bits version of ubuntu and now i have a 32bits kernel instead???? how can i see what my ubuntu version is?? | 16:36 |
| evilsushi | how hard is it going to be to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04? | 16:36 |
| elxordi | vibhav: well, that f*** me a little, because with previous ubuntu my card was great | 16:36 |
| compdoc | can be easy, but sometimes it blows up | 16:36 |
| vibhav | <evilsushi> I recommend a fresh install | 16:36 |
| DasEi | lucas-arg : ups, uname -a and lsb_release -a | 16:36 |
| dennda | Also there is some considerable lag in unity, e.g. in vim and terminal starts behaving laggish as well | 16:36 |
| evilsushi | yeah thats not an option | 16:36 |
| vibhav | <elxordi> ohh. | 16:36 |
| sipior | evilsushi: an upgrade is very straightforward. | 16:36 |
| rpk | ActionParsnip: There are open bugs for the exact issue, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/757720 | 16:37 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 757720 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "ubi-partman crashes with exit code 141 during live install" [Medium,Incomplete] | 16:37 |
| dennda | but in vim it is not at all funny | 16:37 |
| Vhozard | is Landscape commercial ? | 16:37 |
| Pici | Vhozard: Yes. | 16:37 |
| vibhav | <evilsushi> A liitle prob in the upgrade can screw the whole system | 16:37 |
| Vhozard | anything like it thats free ? | 16:37 |
| evilsushi | does 11.04 have a LTS? | 16:37 |
| vibhav | Hi Pici | 16:37 |
| arrow203 | anyone? re: modprobe crash above? | 16:37 |
| xangua | evilsushi: no | 16:37 |
| vibhav | <evilsushi> no | 16:37 |
| Pici | evilsushi: No. 12.04 will be the next LTS | 16:37 |
| elxordi | katorz: tell me what happens, from the point you choose "Try ubuntu without install", until the point the desktop is loaded, please | 16:37 |
| vibhav | Hi Pici | 16:37 |
| DasEi | evilsushi: no, lucid is lts | 16:37 |
| evilsushi | every 2 years | 16:37 |
| rpk | How is that rated medium? Its an install failure. You can't even install ubuntu due to the error. :/ | 16:37 |
| DasEi | !lts | 16:37 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 16:37 |
| Pici | dennda: I find unity to be not compatible with the way I work. You can still choose Classic Ubuntu from GDM. | 16:38 |
| lucas-arg | DasEi: it says i686... im sure i had 64bits installed... | 16:38 |
| Pici | vibhav: hi | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | rpk: maybe updates will help | 16:38 |
| Nastya | hi there! | 16:39 |
| The-Stinger | Updated 10.10 to 11.04. But now I don't have any sound in Minecraft. | 16:39 |
| fsvieira | hello, I just installed the last ubuntu, and I would like to install a session manager to choose betewn gnome and unity, I installed gnome and gdm but there is no choice in login...how can I solve this ? | 16:39 |
| DasEi | lucas-arg : cat /proc/version another place to look | 16:39 |
| wizards | i install gnome3 but ... unity and gnome3 for me ist very similar :( its devil dream | 16:39 |
| xangua | fsvieira: select 'classic' session | 16:40 |
| rpk | ActionParsnip: yeah. Oh, and sorry about raging in general. If it isn't obvious already, I develop software for a living, and I can't stand to see such poor QA in such a core open source project | 16:40 |
| DasEi | fsvieira: it's undeer the powerbutton > systemsettings > loginscreen | 16:40 |
| lucas-arg | DasEi: Linux version 2.6.38-8-generic (buildd@vernadsky) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu3) ) #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | rpk: no worries dude :) | 16:40 |
| xangua | !gnome3 | wizards | 16:40 |
| ubottu | wizards: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 16:40 |
| wizards | :D nice bot :D | 16:40 |
| jdahm | can I create a dock "launcher" entry for applications that don't show up under "applications"? | 16:40 |
| katorz | elxordi: I have a x64 ubuntu. So nothing special, I just installed pidgin to chat. There was no boot screen (the one with my name). I landed directly on the desktop. | 16:40 |
| DasEi | lucas-arg : 32 then | 16:40 |
| gtklocker | lol | 16:40 |
| dennda | Pici: Yes, the thing is I want to use unity | 16:41 |
| lucas-arg | DasEi: weird... i might be confused... ill try installing -pae then | 16:41 |
| dennda | To get familiar with it | 16:41 |
| fsvieira | ok I will try | 16:41 |
| Pici | dennda: Good luck then :) | 16:41 |
| gtklocker | Unity is awesome | 16:41 |
| elxordi | katorz: and the desktop, i supose, is the default gnome desktop... isnt it? | 16:41 |
| NyvenZA | ok, now I am just get frustrated. i installed lightdm, and now I can get to the login screen. I can select sessions and I have tried classic, Classic (no effects) and ubuntu recovery and all of them boots Unity and I can't do see anything change in the X sessions.. | 16:41 |
| katorz | elxordi: yes exactly | 16:41 |
| jacobson | Hey, I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 beta 2 before the release of the 11.04, and now i'm wondering if is there a way to upgrade from 11.04 beta2 to 11.04 stable | 16:41 |
| jacobson | thank | 16:41 |
| jacobson | s | 16:41 |
| NyvenZA | I can click on an icon and drag it, but the icons stats on the screen | 16:42 |
| incog | how would you fags feel if i told you i can crash all ubuntu versions, including natty with a remote string | 16:42 |
| NyvenZA | if i restart the session, the icon has moved to where i dragged it too | 16:42 |
| elxordi | katorz: have you considered intalling it? maybe from the live doesnt let you to install any nvidia drivers knowing you must reboot | 16:42 |
| Atluxity_ | mighty impressed incog | 16:42 |
| gtklocker | https://twitter.com/#!/gtklocker/status/63692581170716672 Ubuntu custom kernel compilation (my article) | 16:42 |
| compdoc | jacobson, I would think apt-get would see the released version as a new update | 16:42 |
| incog | not really, apt is just that bad | 16:42 |
| vibhav | <incog> Do it! and send me the string | 16:42 |
| adelie42 | I am using gnome-shell. When I search for applications, specific applications are listed. How do I add an app (custom script) to that index? | 16:42 |
| adelie42 | tried putting it in /bin and restarted session, but that didn't help | 16:43 |
| Atluxity_ | I have a bug with my newly upgraded ubuntu. I started xchat, unmaximised it, right click, sendt to workspace 4. Now my xchat has no minimize button or close cross or unmaximize button at the top :\ | 16:44 |
| gmitrev | hi guys, anyone has any idea why my network applet is missing after the update? It connects just fine but there is no indicator applet for it? | 16:44 |
| vibhav | do it incog | 16:44 |
| katorz | elxordi: yes but I did a live usb persistant to test unity because I have to install graphic drivers and to reboot. Impossible without a live usb persistant. | 16:44 |
| karlo | what is command for logout ? | 16:44 |
| jdahm | I have some applications that aren't installed through apt that I would like to inclue in my dock on unity. Can I add them? How do I add them? | 16:45 |
| elxordi | katorz: maybe a better way to test that is with virtualbox | 16:45 |
| katorz | elxordi: I prefer to wait several days to upgrade to the 11.04 version. | 16:45 |
| DasEi | karlo: depends, out of gdm ? or logout from what ? | 16:45 |
| elxordi | katorz: i agree with you. i've updated right now and i'm kinda f**** lol | 16:45 |
| katorz | elxordi: yes, the last solution... did you install th 11.04? | 16:46 |
| karlo | from computer | 16:46 |
| vibhav | any body with a problem?? | 16:46 |
| ActionParsnip | jdahm: make a launcher for it then drag the launcher to the dock | 16:46 |
| DasEi | karlo: logout or exit or ctrl-D | 16:46 |
| gmitrev | anyone has any idea why my network applet is missing after the update? It connects just fine but there is no indicator applet for it? | 16:46 |
| katorz | elxordi: what's the problem with your ubuntu ? | 16:46 |
| jdahm | ActionParsnip: how do you make a launcher? | 16:46 |
| adelie42 | ActionParsnip: How do you make a launcher in gnome-shell? | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jdahm: use alacarte or right click desktop | 16:47 |
| adelie42 | ActionParsnip: Or unity for that matter? | 16:47 |
| karlo | DasEi, not working, I tryed that in past :/ | 16:47 |
| elxordi | katorz: well, everything works. But graphics performance doesnt work much great. Not smooth. | 16:47 |
| Younder | Yes, seems safe mode works. But with the NVidea proprietary driver .nothing works. Not entirely sure it it is just me and that I have the right diagnosis yet.. | 16:47 |
| DasEi | karlo: you want to shutdown from commandline ? | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | adelie42: same method, use alacarte | 16:47 |
| lacrymology | how do I find out what video drivers am I using? | 16:47 |
| lacrymology | and how do I change my screen resolution? | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | lacrymology: sudo lshw -C display | 16:47 |
| karlo | DasEi, no, I wanna logout user from ubuntu | 16:48 |
| DasEi | karlo: sudo shutdown -h now, or sudo service gdm stop to just get to the commandline | 16:48 |
| cablop | hello | 16:48 |
| cablop | i need a suggestion in a software to detect Wireless Networks and the channel they're using, not kismet, kismet is more than what i need, i just need to know, available networks, channels in use and signal strenght, just to help in choosing the wireless channel of a wlan | 16:48 |
| The-Stinger | dont have any sound in Minecrafter after updating 11.04. Anyone know a sollution? | 16:48 |
| adelie42 | ActionParsnip: THANK YOU!!!! | 16:48 |
| DasEi | karlo: sudo logout >userHere> | 16:48 |
| karlo | DasEi, tnx | 16:48 |
| Sylphid | cablop, iwlist | 16:48 |
| vibhav | <gmitrev> refer to http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-network-manager-applet-missing-from-notification-area-in-ubuntu-10-04.html | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: sudo iwlist scan will show all that | 16:48 |
| lacrymology | ActionParsnip: driver=nvidia means I'm using the propietary driver, right? | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | lacrymology: yes | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | lacrymology: the open drivers are nv and nouveau | 16:49 |
| cablop | let me try | 16:49 |
| NyvenZA | ok, I want to try and remove unity totally and see if I can can info X properly | 16:49 |
| NyvenZA | what woul be the best way to remove unity? | 16:49 |
| cablop | Sylphid, ActionParsnip will i lost wlan connectivity with that command? | 16:49 |
| Sylphid | cablop, nope | 16:49 |
| katorz | elxordi: In my mind, I'll wait at least a month before to install it lol. Thank you for your help. ;-) | 16:49 |
| elxordi | katorz: You're welcome. I'm sorry i couldn't help you much more. But i hate graphic drivers on ubuntu lol | 16:50 |
| cablop | Sylphid, ActionParsnip thanks a lot | 16:50 |
| katorz | lol | 16:51 |
| lacrymology | good, then, how do I change the resolution? when I open System/Preferences/Monitors it complains that "it appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics vendor's tool instead?" and if I click 'yes' I don't find anything to change the resolution | 16:51 |
| cablop | is there any gui for that? i can use this, but barely i can ask others to use CLI | 16:51 |
| lacrymology | oh wait | 16:51 |
| lacrymology | found it | 16:51 |
| elxordi | my graphics arent smooth with ubuntu 11.04, and they where on 10.10, with ATI latest driver. Why's that??? | 16:52 |
| areay | just upgraded to natty, but i have no unity -- my desktop hasn't changed at all | 16:52 |
| Kouta-kun | i upgraded to natty and my install broke so much i'm switching distros | 16:52 |
| Doonz | hey guys im using rsync to copy data from one raid array to the other. When i run rsync a 2nd time it retransfers all the files. how do i make rsync stop doing that | 16:52 |
| Doonz | im just using the -vr options | 16:52 |
| chadi | I highly dislike unity. It's not even optimized for touch screens! Can I not use it? | 16:52 |
| DirtyDawg | Kouta-kun: to which distro? | 16:52 |
| jdahm | ActionParsnip: ok I added it in alacarte | 16:52 |
| elxordi | areay: try intalling it with sudo apt-get install unity | 16:52 |
| cablop | any GUI tool able to scan Wireless Networks giving me signal strenght, channel in use, and the like? (iwscan is ok for me, but...) | 16:53 |
| jdahm | ActionParsnip: it's still not in the applications menu in unity | 16:53 |
| chadi | areay: video drivers | 16:53 |
| KNUBBIG | Hey, I remember someone asked that already today but I didn't get the solution: When I click "Shutdown" in 11.04, it just simply logs me out instead of really shutting down, but "sudo shutdown -h now" works fine. Any ideas or do I have to search the log? | 16:53 |
| vibhav | <cablop> "Wifi Radar" in Ubuntu Software Center | 16:53 |
| areay | chadi: afaik my video drivers are installed and working correctly. i didn't get a message to say unity wouldn't work | 16:53 |
| ActionParsnip | jdahm: when you run it, right click the app and select "Keep in launcher" | 16:54 |
| cablop | vibhav: giving it a look | 16:54 |

| jen | helo ? | 16:56 |
| venik | it worked fine on another machine (32 bit) | 16:56 |
| elxordi | qkit: and then, on nautilus, press ctrl+l and write smb:// | 16:56 |
| venik | I removed Ubuntu-desktop | 16:56 |
| chadi | areay: then I am sorry, I do not know | 16:57 |
| venik | made no difference | 16:57 |
| perlsyntax | Has anyone have prob with install ubuntu 11.04?And seem like it take longer then ubuntu 10.10 not sure why. | 16:57 |
| Liiin | umash and chmod works in the same manner? | 16:57 |

| areay | i just upgraded to natty and i don't have an option to use unity. pressing alt+f2 and running unity brings up an unusable unity, i can see menus but they do nothing | 16:57 |

| === morpheus is now known as Guest33140 | ||
| elxordi | areay: another option is ckeck if unity is activated on compiz settings | 16:57 |
| calrik | well my ubuntu 110.04 just finished downloading and upgrading, just about to reboot wish me luck there are no hiccup | 16:57 |
| spungo | Found it >> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso | 16:58 |
| vibhav | <cablop> tried? | 16:58 |
| areay | elxordi: i don't appear to have a unity plugin in compiz. is there a package for that? | 16:58 |
| cablop | vibhav: thanks, i think it is good enough, we can go iwlist when wanted more detail :) | 16:58 |
| perlsyntax | calrik,How ong does it tke to install it? | 16:58 |
| === genger_ is now known as tyranos | ||
| qkit | thanks guys | 16:58 |
| ActionParsnip | venik: that's why then, you need the metapackage to be able to update | 16:59 |
| vibhav | <areay> your graphic card must not be supporting it, but you can install its 2d version. | 16:59 |
| elxordi | yeah, but is dependency with unity package, so if it's installed, the option must be on compiz settings | 16:59 |
| greylurk | Ah, Unity is much better with the up-to date Nvidia drivers. | 16:59 |
| areay | vibhav, i've heard others reporting that they see a message that tells them unity is unsupported. i have seen nothing like this | 16:59 |
| elxordi | areay: yeah, but is dependency with unity package, so if it's installed, the option must be on compiz settings | 16:59 |
| venik | I removed the ubuntu-desktop AFTER the upgrade failed, because someone suggested that it might help | 16:59 |
| vibhav | <areay> what does your error say? | 17:00 |
| BinaryMan | is there something wrong with all of the 64-bit natty iso images? | 17:00 |
| venik | perhaps I should reinstall ubuntu-desktop (and face Mecca) | 17:00 |
| ActionParsnip | venik: i see, i believe it's needed so the updater knows what is going on | 17:00 |
| areay | vibhav, i get no error at all. i have no option to use unity as an interface. also running unity inside of gnome produces ugly results | 17:00 |
| BinaryMan | i've tried the same image from two different mirrors, burned it with two different machines, and the CD dies when trying to load the initrd | 17:00 |
| venik | it cannot be the explanation, since in all my first attempts the ubuntu-desktop was there | 17:01 |
| greylurk | BinaryMan I installed from Natty 64 bit image last night. Worked ok, except for some partionioning confusion. | 17:01 |
| elxordi | my graphics arent smooth with ubuntu 11.04, and they where on 10.10, with ATI latest driver. anyone can help me to solve it? | 17:01 |
| jdahm | ActionParsnip: seems to not work for this app | 17:01 |
| areay | elxordi, unity is installed, but searching for 'unity' in compizconfig returns no results | 17:01 |
| BinaryMan | i can't get it to _boot) | 17:01 |
| BinaryMan | *_boot_ | 17:01 |
| ActionParsnip | jdahm: strange | 17:01 |
| BinaryMan | i even had another guy burn the image with his computer. | 17:01 |
| jdahm | ActionParsnip: when I click on the icon I made, it pulses for a second and then nothing shows up and it stops pulsing | 17:01 |
| ChogyDan | venik: wait, do you have ubuntu-desktop? and did you try to login with unity? | 17:01 |
| venik | I upgraded for the past 4 or 5 versions, with no need for clean installation, but now I probably reached the end of the line | 17:01 |
| exfileme | ugg ubuntu reminds me of windows 95 | 17:02 |
| vibhav | <areay> post me a screenshot of that.... | 17:02 |
| NyvenZA | how can I see all the versions of the nvidia drivers that are installed? | 17:02 |
| NyvenZA | is ther an apt-get command for that? | 17:02 |
| mikebeecham | guys, how do I access the 11.04 grub menu from bootup? | 17:02 |

| Skei | ActionParsnip, got it working now, thank you. | 17:03 |
| exfileme | i upgraded to the new version and all of a sudden the Nvidia driver don't want to work. Strangely enough, the new update works better on the experimental 3D drivers save for that the icons dont appear in the Launcher bar | 17:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Skei: no worries :) | 17:03 |
| schweegi | how can i install the CalDav integration in evolution on ubuntu 11.04? | 17:03 |

| areay | vibhav, i've set the top panel to auto-hide | 17:05 |
| exfileme | anyone having better luck with the experimental drivers and Unity over Nvidia drivers? | 17:06 |
| elxordi | areay: i couldn't find the package to fix that. If it can help, i have it under the Desktop section on compiz settings manager | 17:06 |
| dios_mio | /topic # | 17:06 |
| spungo | looks like unity is about as welcome as a fart in a space suit. | 17:06 |
| elxordi | my graphics arent smooth with ubuntu 11.04, and they where on 10.10, with ATI latest driver. anyone can help me to solve it? | 17:06 |
| mikebeecham | guys...for some reason all I am seeing in additional drivers of 11.04 is (driver activated, but not currently in use). How can I resolve this? | 17:06 |
| tom__ | x | 17:06 |
| areay | elxordi, nope, it's not in there :( | 17:06 |
| ChogyDan | mikebeecham: which driver? | 17:07 |
| Janusman | Just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 (I'm on WUBI) however, uname -r says I'm still using an older kernel... how do I use the new one? | 17:07 |
| mikebeecham | ChogyDan: hi mate! (version current) | 17:07 |
| Janusman | (also, on boot time the boot menu didn't show the new kernel) | 17:07 |
| larstorben | Janusman: reinstall it. | 17:07 |
| venik | Installing ubuntu-desktopo installs a lot of useless junk, like Empathy and Telepathy, etc., but I shall swallow it | 17:07 |
| elxordi | areay: maybe some package is missing. i'll give you a list of unity packages that i have installed, wait please | 17:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Janusman: try: sudo update-grub do you see the new kernel listed/ | 17:07 |
| Janusman | larstorben: you mean, instead of upgrading I should reinstall everything? =) | 17:07 |
| ChogyDan | mikebeecham: hi :) | 17:08 |
| larstorben | yes Janusman: that would be good :) | 17:08 |
| larstorben | do you use gnome or kde | 17:08 |

| areay | elxordi, it seems that's not my only problem. my sources.list is for maverick even though i've never had maverick installed. i upgraded from lucid to natty | 17:08 |
| mikebeecham | ChogyDan: yeah, I'm using the recommended proprietary drivers | 17:08 |
| Janusman | ActionParsnip: yes, in fact it was there before running sudo update-grub, it's there after. I'll reboot and see if it shows. | 17:09 |
| Janusman | thanks | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Janusman: np man | 17:09 |
| larstorben | np | 17:09 |
| === dragonlive24 is now known as dragonlive | ||
| ChogyDan | mikebeecham: yeah, I have the same issue. Not sure if it is accurate though. It looks like 'nvidia' driver is the one in use | 17:09 |
| cablop | well guys | 17:09 |
| cablop | another question | 17:09 |
| elxordi | areay: :S people recommend to update to next inmediate version.... would you like my sources.list? | 17:10 |
| areay | elxordi, yes please, ty | 17:10 |
| cablop | compared to 10.10 is 10.04 much better or just a few improvements? | 17:10 |
| dd214 | how do I find a file by Wildcard search from a terminal command? | 17:10 |
| cablop | i mean 11.04 | 17:10 |
| mikebeecham | ChogyDan: yeah, but I have no hardware acceleration, which means I cannot use compiz etc | 17:10 |
| vagvaf | hello people, do u know how can i set universal hot keys? | 17:10 |
| velcroshooz | areay, probably part of your problem. you cant skip versions unless its lts to lts - you should have upgraded to 10.10 then 11.04 | 17:10 |
| elxordi | areay: wait ;) | 17:10 |
| ayecee | cablop: it's an incremental change as always. | 17:10 |
| davidshen84 | hi, i just got 11.04 desktop install. it seems the compiz package is not installed by defualt? | 17:10 |
| ChogyDan | mikebeecham: what driver is being used according to this? sudo lshw -C video | 17:10 |
| greylurk | cablop lots of changes... Unity is definitly something to get used ot. | 17:10 |
| cdavis | Anyone know where I can download a .deb of shc for natty? | 17:11 |
| Theoretician | Is Ubuntu 11.04 stable enough to run? | 17:11 |
| mikebeecham | ChogyDan: sec | 17:11 |
| ayecee | Theoretician: yes | 17:11 |
| greylurk | Theoretician I only installed it last night, but it seems to work fine, on a fresh install | 17:11 |
| cablop | mmm unity by default? then better i keep in 10.10 for a while... i disliked unity because it had a unable to hide bar at the left | 17:11 |
| davidshen84 | hi, can anyone tell me how to zoom the desktop? like in 10.04 | 17:11 |
| areay | velcroshooz, i just used the update manager. it doesn't give an option to choose which release to upgrade to | 17:11 |
| eiriksvin | can somone tell me why Ubuntu cant find my nVIDIA card? | 17:11 |
| vibhav | <areay> try "unity --reset" | 17:11 |
| NyvenZA | not to shoot it down, But I have been having massive graphics issues | 17:11 |
| eiriksvin | i cant update to natty becuase of it | 17:12 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: you can boot to a traditional desktop if you want....default means nothing | 17:12 |
| greylurk | cablop the left bar autohides | 17:12 |
| elxordi | areay: http://paste.ubuntu.com/600848/ | 17:12 |
| Theoretician | Are there any downsides to upgrading? | 17:12 |
| mikebeecham | ChogyDan: does not tell me driver...only gfx card | 17:12 |
| elxordi | areay: tell me if it works for you ;) | 17:12 |
| NyvenZA | eiriksvin: don't know, but I have same problem | 17:12 |
| ActionParsnip | eiriksvin: do you have one of those switchable video chips? | 17:12 |
| eiriksvin | Natty is cool, but just switch to classic mode... the new gui is unstable | 17:12 |
| greylurk | Theoretician You'll need to build new muscle memory in terms of where things are, and how to use the window manager. | 17:13 |
| ChogyDan | mikebeecham: is there a "configuration" line? | 17:13 |
| mikebeecham | sorry ChogyDan: Driver=Nvidia | 17:13 |
| eiriksvin | yeah it says i cant even use it | 17:13 |
| Theoretician | eiriksvin the new gui is bad? why? | 17:13 |
| cablop | i just liked the bar was like the win7 taskbar | 17:13 |
| elxordi | areay: also, try with "update-manager -d" on the terminal before. let's see if it offers you the possibility to update | 17:13 |
| perlsyntax | i shock they din't upgrade perl in ubuntu. | 17:13 |
| areay | vibhav, unknown option: --reset | 17:13 |
| areay | i think i broke ubuntu lol | 17:13 |
| areay | now do-release-upgrade is upgrading me to natty. even though i'm already theoretically using it | 17:13 |
| eiriksvin | bars dissappear and stuff | 17:13 |
| greylurk | perlsyntax i'm surprised that Natty still includes Eclipse Ganymede. | 17:13 |
| elxordi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/600848/ | 17:14 |
| areay | elxordi, it seems that update-manager is working. i'm gonna let it finish. ty for your help:) | 17:14 |
| cablop | i disliked i cannot configure two panels as clasic one on top and below and move their items | 17:14 |
| juzzy__ | hey, ive updated to 11.04 - how may I place a my old weather widget dock thing onto the upper bar again?? | 17:14 |

| aetaric | mine is just not playing nice | 17:17 |
| jMCg | Hey folks. | 17:17 |
| greylurk | cablop it sounds like people are having trouble with upgrades on NVidia hardware though. | 17:17 |
| eiriksvin | we installed Natty on my Moms comp, and it updated nvidia fine, and it did it all on its own, but mine says i have no driver | 17:17 |
| e01 | how can i add partitions to be automounted in natty, because in current installer, there is no option to using custom locations for mounting | 17:17 |

| TheHackOps | JoshDreamland, Don't mention that | 17:22 |
| JoshDreamland | unfortunately, none of those preferences are "Show all of my programs" | 17:22 |

| JoshDreamland | Whoever thought this panel to the side with six programs in it was useful was obviously a mac user | 17:23 |
| cablop | mikebeecham: then select the one you want to enable and click on the activate button, it will disable the free one and enable the restricted driver | 17:23 |
| aetaric | cablop, accept the is no check box in that | 17:23 |

| cablop | greylurk, enable all repos, then try again | 17:26 |
| TheHackOps | I have a solution to the nvidia, go to there website and download the linux drivers they work fine | 17:26 |
| vibhav | <abhishek> Yes iam there | 17:26 |
| arnab | hi - my ubuntu doesn't show any higher resolution than 1024x768 - i am running ubuntu in virtualbox. can i get a better resolution? | 17:26 |
| gartral | rauchy: yea, the put those on the chopping block | 17:27 |
| * vibhav is ready to help | 17:27 | |
| NyvenZA | TheHackOps: I just tried it and it doesn't work for me | 17:27 |
| MnCC | btw .. my update to 11.04 wrecked: fingerprint reader, compiz, virtualbox, xbmc, shutdown/reboot from gui .. lots of work todo | 17:27 |
| abhishek | so, plz help me about upgrade | 17:27 |
| TheHackOps | NyvenZA, Error? | 17:27 |
| ScottONanski | TheHackOps: That's what I'm using. Downloaded, and installed them this morning. | 17:27 |
| * eiriksvin says brb got a turtle head poking out... :D | 17:27 | |
| cablop | TheHackOps: yes, that solves the nvidia thing, but with a cost, each time you upgrade your kernel they recomplie something and your old kernels won't work for gui | 17:27 |
| ScottONanski | Didn | 17:27 |
| CQ | arnab- my ubuntu guests resize as I resize the window, with the guest additions isntalled | 17:27 |
| rauchy | gartral: ok, off I go to enjoy my new 11.04 :-D | 17:27 |
| rauchy | gartral: thanks | 17:27 |
| NyvenZA | TheHackOps: nope, no errors that is why I am ready to cry | 17:27 |
| JoshDreamland | My God, even the scroll bars are unusable | 17:27 |
| NyvenZA | lol | 17:27 |
| NyvenZA | I can login | 17:27 |
| vibhav | abhishek you want to upgrade to 11.04 or 10.10? | 17:27 |
| ScottONanski | Didn't even remove the old drivers. lol | 17:27 |
| arnab | god.. you're right CQ! thanks | 17:27 |
| JoshDreamland | How do I get my old scroll bars back? | 17:28 |
| NyvenZA | I selected classic, noeffects , safemode | 17:28 |
| NyvenZA | all of them | 17:28 |
| NyvenZA | I get to the desktop | 17:28 |
| NyvenZA | the icons are there | 17:28 |
| JoshDreamland | You know, the ones that did more than just indicate where I am | 17:28 |
| TheHackOps | NyvenZA, What problems is it causing, cablop, thats what happens when the kernal updates all the time... | 17:28 |
| NyvenZA | But I can't interact with the desktop | 17:28 |
| gartral | MnCC: the virtualbox ptoblem is probably because the kernel drivers didn't get recompiled.. | 17:28 |
| arnab | so is there any way to get the classic menus back? | 17:28 |
| riba | hh | 17:28 |
| mikebeecham | Hi...can anyone advise on why 11.04 proprietary drivers are "activate, but not in use"? | 17:28 |
| riba | e | 17:28 |
| cablop | for everyone, i suggest you to install the classic gnome desktop, then tweak it until compiz and drivers are working properly | 17:28 |
| lgp171188 | Hi, I am using Natty. I find that even when I am connected to the internet, my me menu status set to available, still there is no textbox in the me menu to post. What is the issue? | 17:28 |
| === riba is now known as Guest32828 | ||
| cablop | then move to unity and make it works | 17:29 |
| dotlegend | i am trying to copy data from a home folder (suse os) how can i properly take ownership and copy data to new external drive?? | 17:29 |
| Guest32828 | hello | 17:29 |
| TheHackOps | NyvenZA, Does not sound like a display driver issue, did you update the kernel or something? | 17:29 |
| JoshDreamland | Now the thing died. I'm so angry about this new release, I could kill someone. Or go write an angry blog. | 17:29 |
| Guest32828 | awdplawpdoa | 17:29 |
| Guest32828 | wdawd | 17:29 |
| Guest32828 | awd | 17:29 |
| ScottONanski | mikebeecham: Download and install the proprietaries from Nvidia's site. | 17:29 |
| ScottONanski | They work much better. | 17:29 |
| TheHackOps | ScottONanski, he did | 17:29 |
| CQ | arnab: log out, and then after you select yout username onteh login page, look atht e bottom of the screen and select ubuntu classic | 17:29 |
| zombor | hello, im trying to install ubuntu, and i get the bootloader, but when i select "install" i just get a blank screen. im trying to install it on an intel i3 H61 machine, anyone know how to get it to work? | 17:29 |
| cablop | Nyvenza do that, move to classic gnome and deal with it until compiz works | 17:29 |
| xangua | lgp171188: did you add a twitter account to gwibber¿¿ | 17:29 |
| NyvenZA | TheHackOps: ok, I tried to update the vboxdrv earlier and it comaplined that the worng version of the header files are installed | 17:29 |
| arnab | thanks! | 17:29 |
| MnCC | gartral, in my case i had no source/headers/generic files .. after downloading i was able to recompile | 17:29 |
| xangua | i think gwibber now uses lens, not sure lgp171188 | 17:29 |
| cablop | Nyvenza not all headers are installed by default | 17:30 |
| lgp171188 | xangua: Yes. I have twitter, facebook and identi.ca accounts added. In fact I get notifications for all those accounts | 17:30 |
| TheHackOps | NyvenZA, Ok, then did it crash after that | 17:30 |
| TheHackOps | or stop working | 17:30 |
| JoshDreamland | I can't scroll. I can't see where my cursor is. This release is fucking drowning. Good bye. | 17:30 |
| aetaric | so i need to uninstall the opensource nvidia drivers? | 17:30 |
| NyvenZA | cablop: how do I change to the classic gnom? | 17:30 |
| mikebeecham | ScottONanski: are they different from the one that came with 11.04? And is that an easy install? | 17:30 |
| floop_ | hi all | 17:30 |
| cablop | aetaric i suggest you to install the proprietary ones | 17:30 |
| NyvenZA | TheHackOps: I have had no craches | 17:30 |
| ScottONanski | Yes, mike. | 17:30 |
| TheHackOps | Who the hell idea was unity anyway, its a bad idea | 17:30 |
| aetaric | cablop, they already are | 17:30 |
| ScottONanski | mike. pm me. and bring a pen. | 17:31 |
| TheHackOps | NyvenZA, I mean is that when it stoped working | 17:31 |
| cablop | Nyvenza afaik sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop | 17:31 |
| mikebeecham | ScottONanski: will do" | 17:31 |
| NyvenZA | I just can't believe that they relieased it with so many issues | 17:31 |
| abhishek | hello vaibhav | 17:31 |
| arand | zombor: If you press F6 and remove "quiet splash" from the boot line, does it display any instersting errors? | 17:31 |
| NyvenZA | Xorg and Virtual box stoped workign uppon upgrading to 11.04 | 17:31 |
| TheHackOps | NyvenZA, Im confused are you on clasic or unity | 17:31 |
| arand | zombor: Alternatively, does the alternate install CD work better? | 17:31 |
| NyvenZA | currently on the default unity | 17:31 |
| TheHackOps | kk | 17:31 |
| cablop | the best time was when they launched 6.06, they do a good work to release something with no errors | 17:31 |
| NyvenZA | TheHackOps: want to try and go back to classic now | 17:32 |
| TheHackOps | try what cablop said | 17:32 |
| NyvenZA | to see if that works | 17:32 |
| zombor | arand: let me try your first suggestion | 17:32 |
| zombor | arand: i havent tried the alternate install | 17:32 |
| spungo | NyvenZA: got the latest vbox? | 17:32 |
| cablop | after that ubuntu seems to be, try, and deal with it until you got used to what WE believe it is good for you | 17:32 |
| TheHackOps | NyvenZA, sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop | 17:32 |
| DasEi | NyvenZA: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27668927/gnome | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | TheHackOps: don't use it then | 17:32 |
| TheHackOps | ActionParsnip, What? | 17:32 |
| spungo | NyvenZA: 4.0.6 iirc | 17:32 |
| nit-wit | complain somewhere else please | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | TheHackOps: you can use classic desktop if you dislike unity | 17:32 |
| gartral | TheHackOps: unity is... "fun" <grumble> | 17:32 |
| floop_ | nvidia drivers on ion2 not working :( Asus vx6 | 17:33 |
| zombor | arand: without quiet boot, a bunch of stuff scrolls by, then i get a blank screen | 17:33 |
| NyvenZA | DasEi: what was that ? | 17:33 |
| TheHackOps | ActionParsnip, Im not using it, i just love to help out the community and this seems to be the biggest problem among new people | 17:33 |
| cablop | but, besides ranting, my suggestion is this to solve all unity and nvidia and compiz issues | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | floop_: install nvidia-current and reboot, failing that, install nvidia-173 and reboot | 17:33 |
| TheHackOps | and old timers aswell | 17:33 |
| eiriksvin | brb restarting | 17:33 |
| NyvenZA | spungo: I am rebooting system all the time can't use something else right now | 17:33 |
| TheHackOps | k | 17:33 |
| Kevin147 | I upgraded yesterday, and now my desktop is saying the following: "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions." | 17:33 |
| DasEi | NyvenZA: a link on howto switch back to gnome | 17:33 |
| MnCC | compiz-fusion didnt do the trick .. | 17:33 |
| xinel | eh my dad seems to like unity, and if ubuntu wants more desktop users i think it was a good move imo | 17:33 |
| NyvenZA | cablop: I get "e: unable to locate package gnome-desktop" | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | TheHackOps: I don't see an issue personally | 17:33 |
| TheHackOps | MnCC, Problem? | 17:34 |
| cablop | install the classic gnome, you already know it, then configure compiz, drivers and so on until they work, then when everything is working fine move to unity | 17:34 |
| Younder | Hmm seems the video controller and PCI controller both use irq 16 no wonder it fails.. (11.04 failed to start window manager correctly, nvidea card seemed the culprit) | 17:34 |
| NyvenZA | DasEi: what format is it. the file name was just gnome | 17:34 |
| TheHackOps | ActionParsnip, Where not meant to talk about that in here, it hogs the channel | 17:34 |
| jaymeskeller | Hi, I have a problem with g15daemon under 11.04. When I attempt to start it up, it hangs, telling me that it couldn't find "/dev/input/uinput". I have attempted to use "/dev/uinput/", but it hangs. Any ideas, or just file a big report? | 17:34 |
| feisar | man... I'm having no luck with 11.04, the upgrade screwed up my system and now a fresh install is stuck in an error loop | 17:34 |
| jaymeskeller | *bug | 17:34 |
| ActionParsnip | TheHackOps: mind you, I use a lot of LXDE these days | 17:34 |
| MnCC | TheHackOps, yeah .. cant get compiz to work | 17:34 |
| DasEi | NyvenZA: ic, second, changing it | 17:34 |
| TheHackOps | MnCC, Specificaly what won't work | 17:34 |
| NyvenZA | ActionParsnip: the 173 nvidia had the exact same results | 17:34 |
| tarunno | Hello guys | 17:34 |
| arand | zombor: Hmm, I guess the kernel work, but possibly it stumbles when it initialises video drivers or something, I don't know then I'm afraid, you may want to try the alternate install CD, or look up your particular computer model and video card model and see if there are known issues there.. | 17:34 |
| BinaryMan | feisar: better luck than me. i can't get a livecd environment from the burned iso. | 17:34 |
| tarunno | happy release to all | 17:34 |
| tarunno | I have a question | 17:35 |
| cablop | give me a second about enabling the old gnome desktop | 17:35 |
| TheHackOps | MnCC, Or just compiz won't work at all | 17:35 |
| DasEi | NyvenZA: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27668927/gnome.txt | 17:35 |
| aperson | arand⍈ sorry, rsibreak made me take a break: http://pastie.org/1847785 | 17:35 |
| feisar | BinaryMan: that's not good to hear | 17:35 |
| MnCC | TheHackOps, it doesnt work | 17:35 |
| zombor | arand: im just using the built in video of the processor | 17:35 |
| tarunno | I read the Cannonicals official blog earlier | 17:35 |
| Kevin147 | Can anyone help me? | 17:35 |
| TheHackOps | MnCC, 11.04 i assume? | 17:35 |
| TheHackOps | Kevin147, Shoot | 17:35 |
| aperson | arand⍈ that's an example, though what xargs is doing doesn't matter too much, it's the fact that it's not recognizing the function | 17:35 |
| DasEi | !details | Kevin147 | 17:35 |
| ubottu | Kevin147: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 17:35 |
| tarunno | they said there won't be any netbook version in 11.04 | 17:35 |
| Kevin147 | I did already....: | 17:35 |
| Kevin147 | I upgraded yesterday, and now my desktop is saying the following: "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions." | 17:36 |
| tarunno | but I can see a torrent file for 11.04 in Ubuntu site | 17:36 |
| MnCC | TheHackOps, yeah .. when i use --replace the window manager .. voila .. but dont know how to make that stick permanently | 17:36 |
| tarunno | why is that? | 17:36 |
| NyvenZA | DasEi: I can't get into the GUI, I installed LightDM and on the login screen I see the option for classic. It goed the same problem | 17:36 |
| ActionParsnip | tarunno: i don't see how the two are linked | 17:36 |
| TheHackOps | MnCC, how are you making changes | 17:36 |
| abhishek | hello dear any one help me to upgarde my ubntu 10.10 in 11.04 | 17:37 |
| tarunno | ActionParsnip, which two? | 17:37 |
| aperson | arand⍈ I'd guess it's because xargs uses a separate shell? | 17:37 |
| TheHackOps | MnCC, For compiz i use ccsm (found in software center) then open term and type sudo ccsm | 17:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | abhishek | 17:37 |
| ubottu | abhishek: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 17:37 |
| DasEi | NyvenZA: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm && sudo service gdm start | 17:37 |
| SpaceBass | has anyone tried to compile x264 on 11.04? keeps failing on my server install | 17:37 |
| TheHackOps | MnCC, sudoer seems to work | 17:37 |
| ActionParsnip | tarunno: the lack of netbook and the torrent you can download ubuntu with | 17:37 |
| cablop | to open the classic gnome i think this wpuld be the guide http://ubuntuguide.net/ubuntu-11-04-natty-login-to-classic-gnome-2-desktop | 17:37 |
| dd214 | anyone use a CAC? | 17:37 |
| MnCC | TheHackOps, used compiz settings manager | 17:37 |
| aperson | !anyone | dd214 | 17:37 |
| ubottu | dd214: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 17:37 |
| ActionParsnip | dd214: what is CAC? | 17:37 |
| gartral | dd214: CAC? | 17:37 |
| dd214 | Having trouble finding my CAC reader | 17:37 |
| charlie_ | hi, i have a question about xubuntu, an easy one i guess. | 17:38 |
| aperson | !ask charlie_ | 17:38 |
| gartral | charlie_: then ask! | 17:38 |
| charlie_ | thx | 17:38 |
| maximm | anyone get unity running on two monitors ? | 17:38 |
| aperson | gah | 17:38 |
| cablop | in fact i tried unity in 10.10 and classic gnome, and, classic gnome saves the more space for you on a netbook screen, unity waste space.... ironically (at least in 10.10) | 17:38 |
| TheHackOps | MnCC, go into terminal and type sudo ccsm | 17:38 |
| aperson | !ask | charlie_ | 17:38 |
| ubottu | charlie_: 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. :-) | 17:38 |
| dd214 | ActionParsnip, CAC = Common Access Card | 17:38 |
| NyvenZA | oooooo | 17:38 |
| NyvenZA | something happend | 17:38 |
| NyvenZA | I used unity --replace | 17:38 |
| DasEi | NyvenZA: so ? | 17:38 |
| TheHackOps | MnCC, go into terminal and type sudo ccsm | 17:39 |
| charlie_ | i just installes xubuntu 11.04 everything ok but xubuntu automatically mounts my windows volume on my desk | 17:39 |
| NyvenZA | gave a lot of test on the screen and the X start didn't work | 17:39 |
| arand | aperson: Hmm... | 17:39 |
| NyvenZA | I CTRL + C the unity--replace | 17:39 |
| MnCC | TheHackOps, no go =( | 17:39 |
| NyvenZA | and then when I went back to X | 17:39 |
| TheHackOps | there should be a huge WARNING DO NOT UPGRADE | 17:39 |
| NyvenZA | the icons I clicked on had opned apps | 17:39 |
| TheHackOps | May cause loss of sleep | 17:39 |
| tarunno | ActionParsnip, in this page it shows a torrent file for downloading "ubuntu-11.04-netbook-i386.iso" http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download | 17:39 |
| aperson | arand⍈ got a better way I can read lines from a file and run that function per line? | 17:39 |
| NyvenZA | and I can iinteract witht he icons on the desktop now | 17:39 |
| ActionParsnip | TheHackOps: ccsm with sudo isn't a good idea | 17:39 |
| tarunno | ActionParsnip, which seems like a deadlink | 17:39 |
| cablop | Nyvenza check this one http://ubuntuguide.net/ubuntu-11-04-natty-login-to-classic-gnome-2-desktop | 17:40 |
| TheHackOps | ActionParsnip, Fixed my flash Uber lag | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | tarunno: I always use: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ | 17:40 |
| DasEi | !yay | NyvenZA: | 17:40 |
| ubottu | NyvenZA:: Glad you made it! :-) | 17:40 |
| timrc | anyone with a tp experiencing weirdness with the battery indicator? the indicator reports the correct time remaining but shows the battery as a red outline (which I thought was to indicate power is getting low) | 17:40 |
| jaymeskeller | Hi, I'm having problems with g5daemon under 11.04. It hangs with the error "/dev/input/uinput cannot be found". I tried to fix it by changing the setting to "/dev/uinput" but no go. Any ideas? | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | TheHackOps: sudo isn't to be used with GUI apps, use gksudo | 17:40 |
| TheHackOps | If you know what your doing its a rly good idea | 17:40 |
| jaymeskeller | *g15 | 17:40 |
| timrc | er forgot to mention I'm running 11.04 | 17:40 |
| Macer | anybody know where i can find ubuntu documentation on setting up coda? | 17:40 |
| einseenai | guys, if i upgrade to 11.04, will it brake my classic gnome? | 17:40 |
| NyvenZA | I don't currently have a window manger running but i can now atleast interact | 17:40 |
| dd214 | I'm slowly going through dmesg to find CAC, but no luck | 17:40 |
| cablop | einseenai, afaik... yes | 17:40 |
| tarunno | ActionParsnip, I use the mirror hosted in my country | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | TheHackOps: sudo will run it as root, which won't change the users settings, it will change root | 17:40 |
| DasEi | Macer: look in the forum | 17:40 |
| cuppsy | On a fresh install of 11.04, Empathy disconnects from Windows Live every hour or so when inactive. Anyone have any idea why that would happen? | 17:40 |
| Kevin147 | alright what ever, no one is gonna help me -_- thanks anyway | 17:40 |
| Dr_Willis | jaymeskeller: i noticed some of my USB devices not working/seen untill i unplug/plug them back in. :( | 17:40 |
| NyvenZA | ok,so now it is not a driver issue anymore, but it looks like an unity issue | 17:40 |
| Macer | DasEi: tried. dont see much | 17:40 |
| NyvenZA | gnome here i come | 17:40 |
| TheHackOps | ActionParsnip, Well you learn something new every day | 17:40 |
| Macer | i was hoping for a wiki | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | tarunno: I use torrents, much faster and allows you to give back to the community | 17:41 |
| arand | aperson: I think the end result of that is «« scmd say bash -c "screen -p 0 -S minecraft -X eval 'stuff \"$*\"\015'" »» Which I guess is not what you are after really? | 17:41 |
| aperson | !patience | Kevin` | 17:41 |
| ubottu | Kevin`: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 17:41 |
| charlie_ | i dont want xubuntu to put windows volumes on my desk at startup. How can i fix it? | 17:41 |
| timrc | einseenai, you should be able to select "classic mode" when you login | 17:41 |
| aperson | arand⍈ it is, I'm sure of that | 17:41 |
| MnCC | TheHackOps, tried gksu .. but still no luck .. | 17:41 |
| einseenai | cablop, thx | 17:41 |
| DasEi | Macer: I don't have experience with it, also #ubuntu-server or #httpd might be places to ask | 17:41 |
| TheHackOps | MnCC, Wierd with gksudo mine got reset and won't stick anymore lulz | 17:41 |
| aperson | arand⍈ that function is just a base for a bunch of other commands, it works fine | 17:41 |
| Macer | httpd? | 17:42 |
| Dr_Willis | charlie_: i think thats handled by the xubuntus file manager. But it may be an all or nothing 'show icons of not' setting. theres #xubuntu you can ask | 17:42 |
| Macer | for coda? :) | 17:42 |
| DasEi | Macer: server-related channel | 17:42 |
| A_J | Hey all, i want to Upgrade to Natty, i have a question : I have a Hard copy of Ubuntu:Linux 10.04 LTS Version, will I be able to reffer it, cause it's brand new. and i could not find any books on 10.10, so i presume i won't find anything on natty | 17:42 |
| cablop | einseenai recommendation was for me to wait at least one month before tryin to upgrade | 17:42 |
| arand | aperson: I guess you could just use "for i in file.list; do somethingwith "$i"; done" | 17:42 |
| Macer | i guess coda would be a good fs to use for httpd | 17:42 |
| Asad2005 | alltray doesnot work with firefox in natty any help ? | 17:42 |
| NyvenZA | cablop: I don't have menus to click on, this doesn't really help | 17:42 |
| Macer | ok thx | 17:42 |
| TheHackOps | I got a problem i need help with while im here, Anyone know about fixing the epic fullscreen lag with flash | 17:42 |
| JonMarkGo | Hi all, I was upgrading to 11.04 and it asked me to reboot to complete the update. I rebooted and now I get "Kernel panic - Unable to mount root fs" | 17:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Asad2005: the icontray thing i think has basically been removed.. i dont think alltray would work at all | 17:42 |
| cablop | Nyvenza, they replaced the menu for a button with all on it | 17:43 |
| wad | Yay, I got my 11.4 installed and running! Using it now. But.... where is the SYSTEM | PREFERENCES menu? | 17:43 |

| MnCC | TheHackOps, prob. wont do shit in my experience with ubuntu.. but it seems to help with windows | 17:43 |
| einseenai | timrc, thx, i know, but is this classic mode the same that gnome in 10.10? | 17:43 |
| Asad2005 | Dr_Willis: but it is already working with other apps i tried it with calculator app ok | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | tarunno: same sort of deal | 17:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Im still not sure of the logic of putting that menu item under the Power button.. | 17:43 |
| cablop | ok, then let me check it NyvenZA | 17:43 |
| A_J | any1 ? | 17:43 |

| DasEi | !ask | A_J | 17:44 |
| ubottu | A_J: 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. :-) | 17:44 |
| Asad2005 | i am in classic not unity | 17:44 |
| TheHackOps | Yep | 17:44 |
| aperson | arand⍈ I suppose, I was trying to avoid cat'ing the file :) | 17:44 |
| cablop | NyvenZA: it should be there, in the login called ubuntu classic | 17:44 |
| Chilaquiles | Hey, Does someone knows how to make the bar appear on the bottom of the file,edit,view appear in nautilus? it doesn't appear anymore, Im talking about the bar where the arrow to go back and the other arrow appear | 17:44 |
| A_J | DasEi: check now ? | 17:44 |
| rcmaehl | After about 3 clean reinstalls of 11.04 and hundreds of updates it appears MOST of the bugs are out of 11.04 | 17:44 |
| einseenai | cablop, thx a lot -) | 17:44 |
| arand | aperson: Hmm, with the one you used, you may want to enclose the bash string in $() to extract the result of running that command | 17:44 |
| aperson | arand⍈ yep, I know ;) thanks | 17:45 |
| NyvenZA | cablop: the option is there. i select it, i login and then i get stuck | 17:45 |
| NyvenZA | I can't interact with the desktop | 17:45 |
| TheHackOps | ActionParsnip, Does your flash lag in fullscreen on things like youtube | 17:45 |
| DasEi | A_J: you can use the updatemanager, and won't need lucid's cd then, just internet | 17:45 |
| asddfsasd | hello, if i upgrade to 11.04 from 10.10 will i lose my software, will it become incompatible? | 17:45 |
| ActionParsnip | rcmaehl: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+bugs says 329 bugs in Natty | 17:45 |
| asddfsasd | i already see bookmarks and data will remain but what about software? | 17:45 |
| Skei | Silly question, but, is there some equivalent of the Device Manager ? I'm not sure my second video card is being detected and failing, or not being detected at all. | 17:45 |
| TheHackOps | asddfsasd, Don't do it | 17:45 |
| rcmaehl | ActionParsnip: cimpare that to ysterday | 17:45 |

| asddfsasd | why? TheHackOps i didn't get your answer :s | 17:46 |
| mateobur | a lot of indexes aren't found, so a lot of packages are not present | 17:46 |
| A_J | DasEi: i wanted to know if i can use a 10.04 LT Book for refrence to Natty | 17:46 |
| cablop | ok Nyvenza, but you are in the classic gnome, the one you know and you can fix it, then, try alt+f1 to reach the menu, or alt+f2 to run apps and run ccsm | 17:46 |
| DasEi | mateobur: use synaptics to find best mirror | 17:46 |
| mateobur | i.e. Err http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main amd64 Packages | 17:46 |
| mateobur | 404 Not Found | 17:46 |
| ActionParsnip | TheHackOps: its fine here on my Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS as well as my desktop system on Nvidia 6150 onboard | 17:46 |

| cannonball | Quick question, is there an easy during the upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 to keep Gnome instead of being switched to Unity? Or is that just a decision that's made for you? | 17:47 |
| NyvenZA | ok, once, I get unity killed off , i can interact with the desktop | 17:47 |
| A_J | DasEi: well ? | 17:47 |

| dryicebomb | damicita: yes | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: what does "reffer" mean? | 17:50 |
| Jot | I'm not sure | 17:50 |
| Xylch | I have ubuntu installed on half of my hard drive, the other half is a blank partition. I wanna know if it's possible to install a fresh copy of 11.04 onto my my blank partition from within ubuntu (My CD Drive is broken and my laptop doesn't support USB boot). | 17:50 |
| Dr_Willis | maximm: i keep hearing it has issues.. | 17:50 |
| rcmaehl | Jot: open terminal sudo xrandr 00auto | 17:50 |
| rcmaehl | >< | 17:50 |
| cablop | Nyromith: afaik xubuntu didn't have the support that gnome orkade had, so... i suggest you to use classic ubuntu instead, it is gnome, but gnome works so nice in a netbook | 17:50 |
| chadi | can I enable multitouch in natty on the classic theme? | 17:50 |
| rcmaehl | Jot: open terminal sudo xrandr --auto | 17:50 |
| A_J | refer*, typo | 17:50 |
| A_J | sorry | 17:50 |
| damicita | ok thank you | 17:50 |
| wad | hmmm... went to the compiz preferences, and enabled the desktop cube, and enabled OpenGL, and then all the window borders vanished. I can't move windows around anymore.... ideas? | 17:50 |
| kcin1 | ActionParsnip:thanks,i just thought there would be a package on ubuntu ports | 17:50 |
| calrik | maximm: I have but its not that great | 17:50 |
| cablop | Nyromith: well at least in Atom netbooks, dunno in arm or eee | 17:50 |
| rcmaehl | wad: it disabled the unity plugin | 17:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Nyromith: it seems Lubuntu just 11.04 got released also. It works niocely on netbooks as well. | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: you can boot to it to help fix things, if thats what you mean.... | 17:51 |
| eigba | How is everyone liking unity? I like the overal layout however it's going to take a lot of modifying for me | 17:51 |
| maximm | not liking it much | 17:51 |
| wad | rcmaehl, ah, thanks. I reenabled it... still now window happiness. | 17:51 |
| mateobur | could someone please share a working sources.list for 11.04 with me using pastebin? | 17:51 |
| chadi | eigba: I don't like it, going back to classic | 17:51 |
| ActionParsnip | eigba: its ok | 17:51 |
| eigba | I perfoer gnome 3 for sure | 17:51 |
| rcmaehl | wad: restart x | 17:51 |
| A_J | ActionParsnip: i'm, basically using the book to learn funtions of ubuntu, so incase i upgrade.. will that become obsolete | 17:51 |
| DasEi | ActionParsnip: the question was if a lucid manaual will still fit for natty, I already answered it | 17:51 |
| wad | rcmaehl, okay, thanks! | 17:51 |
| calrik | it sucks for multiple monitors | 17:51 |
| maximm | yeah i need to switch to gnome 3 | 17:51 |
| DasEi | A_J: ah, yes quite far, but natty comes with unity and some software is gone btw. changed, but that's still a good refrence, why not stay on lucid ? | 17:52 |
| Atluxity | eigba, I like it. Especially when I read myself up on the hotkeys | 17:52 |
| A_J | DasEi: what about CLI ? | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | DasEi: oh i see | 17:52 |
| A_J | DasEi: is that the same | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: they will be pretty much the same | 17:52 |
| craigbass1976 | Anyone know how to shrink the size of thunderbird's font in the thread (I think that's what it's called) pane? I can shrink it in the actual messages, but not there or in the mail folders pane | 17:52 |
| calrik | single monitor it isnt bad | 17:52 |
| rcmaehl | eigba: it's ok but I recommend setting the unity shortcut key to ctrl+super | 17:52 |
| rcmaehl | instead of just super | 17:52 |
| cablop | Nyromith: I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Compaq Mini netbook with compiz enabled and classic interface, able o launch a Virtualbox with Windows XP on it and using the whole hard drive encrypted, performance is nice | 17:52 |
| aperson | arand⍈ hmm.. if I $(cat $SPATH/motd) it runs on every word of the file, but if I quote it "$(cat $SPATH/motd)" it only runs on the first line | 17:52 |
| eigba | Im defantly having fun tinkering with it, Not sure if its something im gonna keep though | 17:52 |
| Jot | rcmaehl: I typed your cmd in terminal and now it's spammed with things like -display -help -o etc | 17:53 |
| A_J | ok thankyou DasEi and ActionParsnip , one last thing is the updater stable, or is they needed to take a back-up.. | 17:53 |
| greylurk | exit | 17:53 |
| DasEi | A_J: yes, basically, as said some soft has changed, for info look up chanelog natty, there is a bunch on the net, or simply stay with lucid and test natty in a vm for now | 17:53 |
| rcmaehl | Jot: a gui terminal or a tty terminal? | 17:53 |
| Jot | gui one | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: you should have a backup ANYWAY | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis | aperson: bash is expanding the variables once vs twice i think | 17:53 |
| Chilaquiles | Hey, Does someone knows how to make the bar appear on the bottom of the file,edit,view appear in nautilus? it doesn't appear anymore, Im talking about the bar where the arrow to go back and the other arrow appear | 17:53 |
| rcmaehl | Jot: aare you sure you typed "sudo xrandr --auto" | 17:54 |
| rcmaehl | ? | 17:54 |
| rcmaehl | minus the quotes | 17:54 |
| Jot | yep | 17:54 |
| A_J | ActionParsnip: gonna be a tad difficult considering i have 3tb running.. anyway is it likeley to fail by personal experince ? | 17:54 |
| eigba | I wonder if they plan on putting gnome 3 in the repos? probably not? | 17:54 |
| robin0800 | Chilaquiles, its in the view menu | 17:54 |
| DasEi | A_J: hard to predict, some people have trouble, the majority obvoiusly not, or the channel would be overcrowded from it | 17:54 |
| Dr_Willis | !fonts | 17:54 |
| ubottu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer. For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 17:54 |
| arand | aperson: I'm not sure I know much more than you how to fix it at this point, I'm afraid.. | 17:54 |
| kcin1 | are there other repositories for ports apart from ports.ubuntu.com? | 17:54 |
| NyvenZA | what is the apt-get command to list for instance all the compiz packages that can be installed? | 17:54 |
| cablop | Chilaquiles dunno, maybe we don't have that issue, anyway try looking in the menus to see if you disable it by mistake or something | 17:54 |
| aperson | Dr_Willis⍈ hmm.. I just want to pass this function every line of this file as an argument | 17:54 |
| Chilaquiles | robin0800: I don't see anything in the view menu | 17:54 |
| aperson | arand⍈ thanks for the help | 17:54 |
| Jot | I would copy the text from terminal but it's impossible or I'm doing something terribly wrong | 17:54 |
| xangua | !gnome3 | eigba | 17:55 |
| ubottu | eigba: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 17:55 |
| A_J | ok thankyou ActionParsnip and DasEi, will try | 17:55 |
| Jordan_U | aperson: You are misunderstanding. In the quoted case the entire file is being run as a sigle "command" (with no arguments, just treated as a file path) | 17:55 |

| ceo | predy, openoffice bad and not good | 17:58 |
| robin0800 | Chilaquiles, then i am out of ideas then it works ok here | 17:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ceo: or do from command line 'wine /path/to/installer.exe' | 17:59 |
| Chilaquiles | robin0800: the last thing I did was try to install nautilus Elementary but it didin't work | 17:59 |
| Browser | DasEi: fail too | 17:59 |
| mastertogo | aperson, ccsm? | 17:59 |
| Jordan_U | aperson: Why are you using bash -c instead of just running the command? | 17:59 |
| Goliath | Dr_Willis: ty | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !appdb | ceo may want to check compatibility too | 17:59 |
| ubottu | ceo may want to check compatibility too: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 17:59 |
| cablop | ceo, anyway, office 2007 will give you some trouble to run on wine, try a virtual machine instead | 17:59 |
| eigba | Im comming from Arch linux, this channel moves fast lol | 17:59 |
| Sree_ | I considered wiping the drive clean but did not know how to get it in ? as a package in itself ? via usb? Thanks again. | 17:59 |

| rcmaehl | okay what to I add to grub.cfg to my tty terminals aren't like 50x20 charaters | 17:59 |
| CQ | hello, virtualbox guestadditions want to have kernel headers... is there a generic package to insdtall to always have the headers installed? | 17:59 |
| DasEi | Browser: what happens if you try ? | 17:59 |
| robin0800 | Chilaquiles, thats probably whats broken it | 17:59 |
| scorch2 | i am installing 11.04 it has gotten to generating grub.cfg and down to found /boot/memtest.bin and has stopped. my cpu has been pegged about 15min. any ideas? | 17:59 |
| A_J | ActionParsnip: yes proably, but i need to expand again this week, and have 4 ITB internal Already | 17:59 |
| A_J | i mean external | 17:59 |
| yuskhanzab | how to undo the "complete panel lock" after update to natty narwhal? can someone help me here | 17:59 |
| DasEi | !headers | CQ | 17:59 |
| mastertogo | thanks =) | 17:59 |
| ubottu | CQ: To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 17:59 |
| Sree_ | TheHackOps - okay...I will look for gpart. | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ceo: 2007 gets a platibum rating :) | 17:59 |
| Chilaquiles | robin0800: you know any way to fix it? | 17:59 |
| rcmaehl | !vga | 17:59 |
| A_J | Sree_: U have the install iso for windows ? | 18:00 |
| Chilaquiles | robin0800: do you know if is possible to delete it? | 18:00 |
| rcmaehl | it's like vga=7somehting | 18:00 |
| arand | eigba: That's why there's #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support chat ;) | 18:00 |
| Dr_Willis | yuskhanzab: not seen/heard of a way to unlock it.. yet. | 18:00 |
| mikebeecham | guys for some reason when I log in I do not see the unity desktop under "Ubuntu", but if I log in under "Classic" gnome appears | 18:00 |
| mikebeecham | help! | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: Well I warned you , I have my "I told you so" sign ready | 18:00 |

| scorch2 | i am installing 11.04 it has gotten to generating grub.cfg and down to found /boot/memtest.bin and has stopped. my cpu has been pegged about 15min. any ideas? | 18:00 |
| Jordan_U | aperson: It seems like you're trying to work around problems rather than understand them. | 18:00 |
| CQ | DasEi: I know that, my question was different: is there a GENERIC package to install to always get the headers instlled when a new kernel is installed? | 18:00 |
| Goliath | Dr_Willis: how to update the system? | 18:00 |
| KNUBBIG | Hey, I remember someone asked that already today but I didn't get the solution: When I click "Shutdown" in 11.04, it just simply logs me out instead of really shutting down, but "sudo shutdown -h now" works fine. Any ideas? | 18:00 |
| cannonball | scorch2: repeatedly asking the same question is not good. If nobody answers, it likely means nobody knows. I've never seen it, so I don't know either. | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mikebeecham: if you don't have 3D accelleration, youo won't get Unity | 18:00 |
| robin0800 | Chilaquiles, install elementary properly then uninstall it | 18:00 |
| cablop | CQ check them manually in synaptic (if 11.04 still have it) it depends on your installed kernel and architecture, but you'll find it called linux-headers-XXXXXXX | 18:00 |
| aperson | Jordan_U⍈ that's line is mostly pulled from an existing, well established script | 18:00 |
| DasEi | CQ: once you done it, next will be pulled as dependency, too, yes | 18:01 |
| Browser | DasEi: E: encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/list/ es.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binariy-i386_Packages | 18:01 |

| mikebeecham | ActionParsnip: how do I tell if 3D acceleration is activated? | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | TheHackOps: what video chip are you using? | 18:01 |
| TheHackOps | A_J, is that the prebuilt ubcd | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Goliath: with the package manager tools. | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Goliath: or sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:01 |
| yuskhanzab | before this upgrade, im using ubuntu-tweak to lock and unlock the panel. now after i update the system, its been lock. how can i undo this back? if there a way can someone tell me..? | 18:01 |

| DasEi | Browser: sudo apt-get clean && sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get update | 18:02 |
| A_J | with many tools | 18:02 |
| TheHackOps | i don't know | 18:02 |
| scorch2 | cannonball ok but what should i do? interupt the install process and resart? | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | TheHackOps: if you are using the proprietary driver it should be ok | 18:02 |
| acidflash | i would like to have upstart launch a software called squid LAST in the order of things to launch | 18:02 |
| TheHackOps | A_J, So it doesn't use windows like ubcd | 18:02 |
| acidflash | what is the way to do that | 18:02 |
| robin0800 | Chilaquiles, think you need a ppa for natty | 18:02 |
| TheHackOps | ActionParsnip, You would think so.... | 18:02 |
| DasEi | acidflash: put it in rc.local | 18:02 |
| Chilaquiles | I don't have natty | 18:02 |
| MnCC | well compiz is broken as .... only logical option left was to remove it .. | 18:02 |
| A_J | no, it's dosbanes TheHackOps | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | acidflash: remove squid from the startup apps and then add the command to run squid as you desire in /etc/rc.local | 18:03 |
| A_J | dos Based* | 18:03 |
| acidflash | DasEi: it never gets to the line | 18:03 |
| cannonball | scorch2: any way to figure out what it's trying to do? I know in CentOS you can switch terminals to a shell and look around and see processes and such. I don't know how Ubuntu does it. I'm not really an Ubuntu guy. | 18:03 |
| mikebeecham | ActionParsnip: 01.00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72 (GeForce 7600GT) (Rev a2) | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis | acidflash: check the services /etc/init/WHATEVER.conf file and edit it perhaps. | 18:03 |
| ceo | ActionParsnip, thanks you step work, am can isntalll the msoffice,. but whare / how to run ms word because wine no on linst application menu ? | 18:03 |

| A_J | !ask | Andy80 | 18:04 |
| ubottu | Andy80: 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. :-) | 18:04 |

| Chilaquiles | robin0800: I don't have Natty | 18:05 |
| DasEi | Browser: doing now ? | 18:05 |
| txomon | KNUBBIG, you have to press ALT (in gnome 3) | 18:05 |
| Ahmuck | why is the unity bar hiding to the side? | 18:05 |

| TheHackOps | for ubuntu anyway | 18:05 |
| Chilaquiles | robin0800: I have Maverick | 18:05 |

| TheHackOps | that was strange the chat just stopped | 18:05 |
| DasEi | Augustuen: you could alter it's nice | 18:05 |
| Browser | DasEi: fail too, mmm i am going to remove the es.ubuntu....... repository | 18:06 |
| DasEi | !nice | Augustuen | 18:06 |
| ubottu | Augustuen: '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. | 18:06 |
| scorch2 | greylurk what do you mean? ps x returns a bunch | 18:06 |
| ceo | mikebeecham, be understand oke... am will help you | 18:06 |
| remlabm | has the 11.04 netbook been released yet? | 18:06 |
| xgt001 | Augusten: same here | 18:06 |
| KNUBBIG | Hey, I remember someone asked that already today but I didn't get the solution: When I click "Shutdown" in 11.04 + unity, it just simply logs me out instead of really shutting down, but "sudo shutdown -h now" works fine. Any ideas? | 18:06 |
| A_J | DasEi: any idea, what language ubottu is coded in | 18:06 |
| mbeierl | Augustuen: "nice" is a way to make programs yield the CPU to other programs ... to be "nice", but if there's nothing else going on, it will still use 100% cpu and make it hot | 18:06 |
| cablop | Browser ubuntu 11.04? use main repos for a while until all repos are in sync, it will took a feww weeks or a month depending where you are | 18:06 |
| mikebeecham | ceo: might be better if you dont help, your english is terrible | 18:06 |
| mikebeecham | I wouldn't understand you | 18:07 |
| Jot | is current unity still in beta? or is it intentional I can't type anything in firefox while running chatzilla? -.- | 18:07 |

| txomon | Guest53463, gedit... | 18:18 |

| vibhav | <XceptN> when you use the application right click the icon-> keep in luancher | 18:18 |
| Jot | FoolsRun: maybe because ubuntu recognizes your monitor | 18:18 |

| Ahmuck | it's a neat start, but clunky | 18:26 |

(Yes, I've checked there's no /etc/init/maradns.conf file) | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Aer: i think grub gets updated automatically after you remove them. | 19:07 |
| Jot | _cory: yes I have nvidia drivers installed | 19:07 |
| _cory | jot: ah so ubuntu is outputting a higher res then your monitors will display? | 19:07 |

| stefg | ChessTeach: bios raid or (proper) mdadm raid is actually the same, only the means are different (the CPU is doing the processing anyway). Bios raid is for dumb OS's which don't have software raid, you don't need that in linux. But either way: raid0 on desktop systems isn't worth it. you pay a price for nothing. you might get a bit more transfer rate, but the real limiting factor is access... | 19:21 |

| bim | hi | 19:42 |
| ^Spider^ | upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 doesn't work for me; I get something similar to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/756329 - How may I debug the problem? | 19:42 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 756329 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." [Undecided,Invalid] | 19:42 |
| DasEi | user82: your choice, dist-upgrade should be no problem | 19:43 |
| middle | i fixed it some how btw.. thanks for beign there | 19:43 |
| Mr_Proper_ | Is it just me, are all the repository servers struggling since natty came out? | 19:43 |
| Mr_Proper_ | Lots of timeouts | 19:43 |
| RRU_Sciguy | any idea as to when the sleep/resume issue shall be fixed? | 19:43 |
| proq | when I run gnome, the mouse settings that I change don't take effect in other window managers. how do I get them to stay on? | 19:43 |
| bim | yeah, apt-get -y dist-upgrade is great ;) | 19:43 |
| velcroshooz | Mr_Proper_, high traffic. its going to be like that for awhile. | 19:44 |
| botcity | tripelb, there are so many details missing | 19:44 |
| RRU_Sciguy | proq: I dunno if the window managers share that cfg setting | 19:44 |
| Mr_Proper_ | velcroshooz: Figured :) Tried a few, found one that seems more reliable, though slower, so I'll try that for a while | 19:44 |

| fliegenderfrosch | tripelb: if you want to do it in a graphical way, just press alt+f2 and enter "gksudo nautilus", then you should have a file manager with admin privileges | 19:47 |
| Belinrahs | tripelb: no problem | 19:47 |

| ohsix | Varth: chrome draws its own decorations, t heres not much you can do about it | 19:48 |
| RRU_Sciguy | pythoned: reformatting the disk will erase the data | 19:48 |
| tripelb | botcity, yes I can. I still want to fix the issue. I'll take it to "ubuntuforums" and use the "good old american bailing wire" trick that you suggest. :P | 19:48 |
| ejv | pythoned: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXX bs=1K | 19:48 |

| botcity | pythoned, shred command | 19:48 |
| fliegenderfrosch | pythoned: i usually use "ultimate boot cd" for this | 19:48 |
| ipo | KrisDougal: when I boot the CD , I se just a background!@ | 19:49 |
| pythoned | RRU_Sciguy: No, it will not...it will overwrite some portions of the HDD online. | 19:49 |
| trae | odd... why would I need 2G for a USB thumbdrive under Ubuntu when if I create the same one on Windows it only needs 1g (to make the same said USB thumbdrive system) | 19:49 |
| ^Spider^ | bye | 19:49 |
| fliegenderfrosch | RRU_Sciguy: reformatting does leave traces | 19:49 |
| Varth | ohsix: I actually got it figured out, It does work with the use native titlebar mode. I just didn't have it maximized like I thought I did. >_< Thanks for the input. | 19:49 |

| TheHackOps | tripelb, Shout out from australia | 19:50 |
| TheHackOps | RRU_Sciguy, or whoever asked it. If you format and then overwright 32 times there is no trace | 19:50 |
| rannmann | pythoned: that overwrites the entire drive with 0's. There is literally nothing on it. | 19:50 |
| ipo | I have problem on booting ubuntu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 | 19:50 |
| RRU_Sciguy | The best way to remove all traces without destroying the disk is to bleach it | 19:50 |
| ipo | please help!!! :( | 19:50 |
| pythoned | rannmann: As I said I would like to donate I want to alter everything that was on it... | 19:50 |

| strigoi66 | can anyone tell me where to get wifi driver for acer aspire 5000 laptop? | 19:51 |

| jmcantrell_ | anyone using natty on a lenovo t420 or t520? i'm trying to see how compatible it is | 19:52 |

| thejonb | Pici: figured. thanks. | 19:53 |

| botcity | pythoned, if your that paranoid i would torch it in the back yard | 19:53 |
| jmcantrell_ | DasEi, know of any pain points when installing or does everything just work? any hardware that doesn't work? | 19:54 |
| pythoned | botcity: Sadly I want to donate it:)) can't torch it... | 19:54 |
| IdleOne | nexus6__: the servers are over loaded it will settle down in a couple of days hopefully | 19:54 |
| botcity | pythoned, man shred | 19:54 |
| nexus6__ | is there not alternative download? | 19:54 |
| RRU_Sciguy | pythoned, the only way to truly destroy data making it completely irrecoverable is to destroy the disk itself | 19:54 |
| fliegenderfrosch | pythoned: if you overwrite the data several times with random data, it should be impossible even for specialists to get data, if i recall correctly, i have read an article that even overwriting once should be enough | 19:54 |
| DasEi | jmcantrell_: not that I new, the touchpad might need some extra work | 19:54 |
| pestilence | botcity: shred isn't useful for journaled filesystems | 19:54 |

| whomie | :) | 19:55 |
| zenlunatic | jmcantrell_: system76 | 19:55 |
| red2kic | whomie: Why Ubuntu or Solaris? ;) | 19:56 |
| whomie | what are the differences between them | 19:56 |
| pestilence | whomie: you are in a ubuntu room. what do you think? | 19:56 |
| whomie | hehe | 19:56 |
| botcity | pestilence, oh sorry is there an updated version like shred2.0 | 19:56 |
| whomie | I was recommended Ubuntu by 1 person | 19:56 |
| DasEi | whomie: rather a question for ##linux, ubuntu support here | 19:56 |
| jmcantrell_ | zenlunatic, do you own one? | 19:56 |
| nexus6__ | whats the name of the german channel? | 19:56 |
| mikeea | pythoned: welcome | 19:56 |
| whomie | and SOLARIS by another | 19:56 |
| fliegenderfrosch | pythoned: if you use a tool like "boot and nuke" from the ultimate boot cd, you can select different modes which correspond e.g. to security standards of the american department of defense | 19:56 |
| zenlunatic | jmcantrell_: no i buy used thinkpads | 19:56 |
| Arrarita | hello | 19:56 |
| whomie | I think Solaris sounds better but that's just me :) | 19:56 |
| DasEi | nexus6__: #ubuntu-de | 19:56 |
| nexus6__ | thank you | 19:56 |
| pythoned | fliegenderfrosch: :)) sounds great for a paranoic like me | 19:56 |
| jmcantrell_ | zenlunatic, what models of thinkpads and what's the experience like? | 19:56 |
| pestilence | whomie: distro flame wars belong elsewhere. next question | 19:56 |
| Arrarita | hello, is there someone who can help me? | 19:57 |
| DasEi | nexus6__: can pm me, if you want | 19:57 |
| whomie | pestilente what's a distro? | 19:57 |
| DasEi | !details | Arrarita | 19:57 |
| ubottu | Arrarita: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 19:57 |
| whomie | sorry for noob questions hehe | 19:57 |
| zenlunatic | jmcantrell_: mostly anything works... just google ibm certified thinkpads | 19:57 |
| whomie | :) | 19:57 |
| mayank_k | ok so I have got the "enable wireless" enabled by downloading backports | 19:57 |
| Arrarita | on my laptop, I upgraded the new version, 11.04 | 19:57 |
| zenlunatic | jmcantrell_: ibm sells them with a 1 yr warranty | 19:57 |
| pestilence | whomie: ubuntu is a linux distribution. so is debian and gentoo. i was being facetious when i recommended gentoo | 19:57 |
| whomie | facetious? | 19:57 |
| _Mr_Proper_ | Looks like ppa.launchpad.net is what is dead. If I exclude that from my sources, I can proceed with the rest normally | 19:57 |
| whomie | what does that mean :P | 19:57 |
| botcity | pythoned, i think we all get that way from time to time 0.o | 19:58 |
| mayank_k | however it's still not able to search the wireless network | 19:58 |
| mayank_k | iwconfig shows this http://paste.ubuntu.com/600919/ | 19:58 |
| pestilence | whomie: just install ubuntu already ;) | 19:58 |
| Arrarita | it won't boot up, and I have tried to re install using the cd, and it still won't work, I don't know what to do? | 19:58 |
| RRU_Sciguy | I do have a problem however, in 10.10 sleep/resume worked properly. In 11.04 on resume I get stuck at a screen with just a command-prompt-cursor like symbol in the top-left corner | 19:58 |

| psykidellic | So I have a server app (written using Python/Twisted) that is loaded up through /etc/init.d. The machine is an OpenVPN client and it seems if I start the app before OpenVPN loads up tun0, all my network communication faolure with: Connection Timed Out. If I restart my server app, it works correctly for the same code/machine. | 19:58 |
| ipo | KrisDouglas: When I boot that CD , I see just a background! | 19:58 |
| Arrarita | I see the background first, and then it goes black and nothing | 19:59 |
| jmcantrell_ | zenlunatic, ubuntu says that a lot of the thinkpads are "certified", but there's notes about needing pre-installed images. what's that mean? | 19:59 |
| bencc | when trying "sudo apt-get update" I'm getting Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/... Hash Sum mismatch | 19:59 |

| bencc | why is that? | 20:06 |
| nit-wit | Kevin147, #1 is the header the decription # is the start of the commands | 20:06 |

| sundjinnkari | hello all How do I get unity back after installing gnome 3? | 20:07 |
| truepurple | I have tried to upgrade ubuntu to 11.04, I restarted my PC but it has loaded to a mostly blank screen with a couple scraggly lines of dashes at the top | 20:07 |
| Mjiig | benji_: can't think of one, what's wrong with uname? | 20:07 |
| KrisDouglas | sundjinnkari, gnome 3 breaks unity, I don't know of a way to restore what happens afterwards. | 20:07 |
| warpi | ubottu, thx! | 20:07 |
| Mjiig | hi, trying to do a "sudo do-release-upgrade", 2 packages keep giving me 403 Forbidden error every time i run it. Any help | 20:08 |
| Mjiig | the packages are xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-750dpi | 20:08 |
| nit-wit | Kevin147, you can do it when you hit tab it is to complete so if you hit the tab where stated and nothing comes up start again, you don't have to reboot to try again. | 20:08 |
| benji_ | Mjiig, nothing, it would be nice to actually see 32 when it is | 20:08 |
| benji_ | but I can live with that | 20:08 |
| Barsuk | Which video converter is the best for linux? | 20:08 |

| Kevin147 | nit-wit: oh alright I see... on the "linux /boot/vmlinuz<tab> nothing comes up | 20:08 |
| Mjiig | benji_: someone more competant than me could probably knock together a bash function to do that | 20:09 |

| Mjiig | benji_: i'll givce it a go | 20:09 |

| moltendorf | Hey everyone, quick question, just did a test swap to ubuntu 11.04 over SSH, but the network performance seems to be very, very slow; namely using SSH, connecting is quick, but when it prompts me for password, it takes a good 15 seconds to respond. Attempting to log in through the physical console results in no delay. | 20:12 |
| milen8204 | truepurple, ok | 20:12 |

| nit-wit | truepurple, to be honest the description is confusing. The update upgrade should happen with not turning the computer off. Is the a failed upgrade, so you thought your computer was okay then restarted to the situation now? | 20:14 |
| vanguard | I just upgraded to Natty and now my Desktop Effects lag seriously (was fine with ATI driver in Maverick), my window decorations are gone. How can I get everything back into a working state? | 20:14 |

| truepurple | milen8204: What do you see on your screen? | 20:15 |
| Kevin147 | nit-wit: its saying no such partition | 20:15 |
| hazure | I'm encountering a problem where many applications just show a white screen when started (after logging in for a bit). They seem responsive, but just white. Ditto with the lockscreen (full screen goes white, but the password can be put in). | 20:16 |
| botcity | kate__, did you checksum the image ? | 20:16 |
| csuwldcat | I am getting the dreaded sudo: must be setuid root | 20:16 |

| csuwldcat | because I AGAIN tried to chown the /usr dir | 20:16 |

| kate__ | It starts but then pauses and tells me 'undevd 83: worker unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100' and then I can't move | 20:16 |
| milen8204 | truepurple, and that was for an hour | 20:16 |
| truepurple | milen8204: it says the words "sing UBUNTU"? | 20:16 |

| moltendorf | I just successfully did a swap to Ubuntu 11.04 Server (from another operating system) over SSH, everything seems to work fine, but since the swap SSH seems to be very sluggish.

| fliegenderfrosch | Ahmuck: do you want to completely remove it or just use the traditional desktop? if it’s the latter, just chose "traditional gnome desktop" at login | 20:24 |

| fliegenderfrosch | kate__: try cd Downloads (without /) | 20:28 |
| Samo502 | okenobi_: it's 11.04, and even though it should be in #ubuntu+1 i figure it's not so much natty related as grub related | 20:28 |
| KrisDouglas | Ahmuck, it gets installed with Unity | 20:28 |
| qin | Ahmuck: You mean in live session, no | 20:28 |
| Ahmuck | does the option stay as a saved value, or must i always go through an extra click to get past unity | 20:29 |

| nit-wit | Kevin147, so after the kernel line 3 correctly spaced root=/dev/sda1 | 20:31 |
| Samo502 | okenobi_: i ran computer janitor yesterday and i think it changed some stuff, it had to be that because i didn't run an update or anything of the sort | 20:32 |
| qin | sudipta: Did you test it in live session, if yes what sessin did you get (Unity or Classic)? | 20:32 |
| joepa | anyone else unable to pin apps to the Launcher in Unity/Natty? | 20:32 |
| Ahmuck | so that i don't sound like an ogre, unity has it's pluses. it was simple, and the desktop switcher was genius. previously i had already set my desktop up in gnome in a unity type of configuration. the disappointment with unity however was the complete loss of configuration options | 20:32 |
| DimaV | I have just upgraded my 10.10 server box to 11.04, but I guess grub installed incorrectly and now i am not getting past the "bash-line editing" cmd grub. I am in a live cd now, and confused | 20:32 |
| HAKMASTER | hey!! quick question, i'am installting Ubuntu 11.0.4 and during the installation when i'm doing parition resize, i can't mount it to other than the default mount listed name!! how i can fix this? thanks in advance | 20:32 |

| TiagoTiago_ | Sorryp did somthing i shouldnmt have and had to reboot | 20:33 |
| Samo502 | okenobi_: maybe an update would help? being that an update changes menu.lst it might fix my booting perhaps? | 20:33 |
| Kevin147 | nit-wit: yes, thats what I did.. I did this exactly: linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=/dev/sda1 | 20:33 |
| nit-wit | Kevin147, is Ubuntu the only OS? | 20:33 |
| Guest41978 | escreva português | 20:33 |

| ardchoille | Is there a known issue with nautilus not respecting themes in 11.04? | 20:33 |

| Guest41978 | você me entende? | 20:34 |
| nit-wit | Kevin147, did you type the kernel or use the tab | 20:34 |
| jmcantrell_ | on the ubuntu certification page, does anyone know what it means when it says "pre-installed only" | 20:34 |
| coz_ | ardchoille, not that I am aware of ,, you mean a theme from system/preferences/appearance ...yes? | 20:34 |
| qin | sudipta: ok, you would want to remove (propably faulty) driver, try: jockey-text in terminal | 20:34 |
| okenobi_ | Samo502: this is menu.lst entries for win http://pastebin.com/RhRF7eSr | 20:34 |
| botcity | HAKMASTER, they are should be drop down windows | 20:34 |
| sudipta | qin:yeah then | 20:34 |
| Samo502 | okenobi_: would my rootnoverify be different or is it likely the same? | 20:34 |
| Kevin147 | nit-wit: I did tab, which showed: linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3<STOP> then I looked at the list, saw the latest one, which is 2.6.38-8-generic, typed 8, hit tab, and it showed up | 20:35 |
| TiagoTiago | Oi Guest | 20:35 |
| ardchoille | coz_: Ah, ok, thanks. I designed my own GTK themes and it's not accepting any of them, nor is it respecting default themes. | 20:35 |
| sweb | any one can asnwer me : http://askubuntu.com/questions/38159/install-on-asus-eeepc-with-stupid-big-problem | 20:35 |
| qin | sudipta: try update and install driver again (via Menu > System > Admin > Hardware) | 20:35 |
| HAKMASTER | <botcity> yes but i want to choose another partition name then the default ex: /media/data | 20:35 |
| okenobi_ | Samo502: what rootnoverify do you have? | 20:35 |
| coz_ | ardchoille, it may something in your themes that is causing the issue,, not sure though | 20:35 |
| Samo502 | okenobi_: (hd0,2) | 20:35 |
| raven_ | WHY there is an open connection to screenshots.ubuntu.com? | 20:36 |
| coz_ | ardchoille, did you compress your themes and try instaling from that tar.gz,,, yes? | 20:36 |
| Samo502 | okenobi_: is the second number related to the numbers in /dev/sda#? | 20:36 |
| nit-wit | Kevin147, okay so use the 1 in place of both X's in the commands then start from the beginning of the command set and use the tab complete as notated | 20:36 |
| TiagoTiago | Is there an installer i can run on Windows to install Ubuntu (on another partition) ? | 20:36 |
| qin | sweb: Are you asking about "some gnome themes are broken"? | 20:36 |
| HAKMASTER | <botcity> have you experience like this issue before? | 20:36 |
| ardchoille | coz_: It isn't respecting the default themes like Clearlooks, Ambiance, Dust or Radience either. Maybe due to upgrading instead of a fresh install. | 20:36 |
| sudipta | qin:I have installed the recommended driver ....and Additional Driver tab says The driver is activated but not currently in use | 20:36 |

| ardchoille | coz_: I did a network upgrade. I have had my custom themes installed for about a year and they work fine in gnome 2.x UI | 20:38 |
| okenobi_ | Samo502: YES, if it is sda3, then it is hd0,2 | 20:38 |
| Kevin147 | nit-wit: no, I just bought this desktop a few months ago... so yeah | 20:38 |
| confusedguy25 | Does anybody know how to fix Ubuntu?? | 20:38 |
| coz_ | ardchoille, ah then I am puzzled,, it could be the install is not complete? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 20:38 |
| qin | sudipta: Well, better remove it then, also check your card for support (for maverick drivers you will get certain answer). | 20:38 |
| rpk | can someone point me at any basic troubleshooting steps for not being able to connect remotely into ubuntu? | 20:38 |
| Kevin147 | nit-wit: should I shut it off (hold power button) and start it up again? | 20:38 |
| Samo502 | okenobi_: so then, being that my windows partition is sda1 then hd0,0 would be correct... | 20:38 |

| Asdfg_ | I was wondering if you can still use Windows if you install Wubi | 20:40 |

| rpk | qin, I can however ping the computer and get a response back from that | 20:40 |

| Jasonn | armor-64: What day number is it today? | 21:10 |
| zvacet | tripelb: boot in live cd and with gparted shrink your partition and on unallocated space make new one | 21:11 |
| vivid | yet published it as the default environment | 21:11 |
| stevecam | armor-64, place a thick piece of stickytape over the left hand side of the screen? | 21:11 |
| KrisDouglas | which begs the question, why give it to users as the default then?? | 21:11 |
| a2c4n9e1 | somebody? | 21:11 |
| kate__ | I pressed enter to interrupt normal cd start and selected 'try ubuntu without installing' and a line of green illegible letters started scrolling down like I was suddenly in the Matrix. | 21:11 |
| fosser_josh | vuze problem in 11.04 vuze: Depends: azureus but it is not going to be installed. same problem faced during 10.04 last year. why this is so | 21:11 |
| erichammond | mmond | 21:11 |
| Neo_ | ohsix, ok i'll try it; thanks | 21:11 |
| zvacet | a2c4n9e1: sorry I was not much of help :( | 21:11 |
| Enissay | Hi all, can anyone help me to get the streaming link of a channel from it's page on facebook please? | 21:11 |
| jmcantrell_ | anyone use a thinkpad t420 or t520? | 21:11 |
| Metaxa | armor-64: If you maximize the window you are working in, it auto-hides | 21:11 |
| johnathan | ok, so... I am trying to install the Japanese input on iBus, but i keep getting this message: http://pastebin.com/DdVcWxw3 | 21:11 |
| armor-64 | no i mean hide it foreve | 21:11 |
| Jasonn | fosser_josh: #vuze | 21:11 |
| KrisDouglas | vivid, tip... in the login screen options, change boot to Ubuntu Classic :) | 21:11 |
| johnathan | and it doesn't install afterwards | 21:12 |
| coz_ | truepurple, blinking dashes... I suppose you could try rebooting holding down the left shift key to get to grub menu,, hit "e" to edit the kernel stanza adding nomodeset just before quiet splash and see if it boots then | 21:12 |
| vivid | how do i install gnome-shell in natty? | 21:12 |
| vivid | or gnome 3.0 ui | 21:12 |
| fosser_josh | Jasonn: but is repo problem | 21:12 |
| coz_ | truepurple, not sure that will help but cant hurt either | 21:12 |
| Metaxa | armor-64: You want to completely remove it? | 21:12 |
| ohsix | vivid: there's a ppa, but it's not really supported here | 21:12 |
| stevecam | vivid, i thought that it was gnome-terminal | 21:12 |
| vivid | ..... | 21:12 |
| coz_ | stevecam, it is gnome-terminal | 21:12 |
| KrisDouglas | johnathan, I think you can use apt-get -f install (or am I completely wrong?) | 21:13 |
| truepurple | coz_: Could it possibly be installing at the moment behind this blank screen? If it is installing at this moment, restarting could screw it up | 21:13 |
| HAKMASTER | Ubuntu 11.0.4 looks like MAC | 21:13 |
| vivid | so we avoid using the new gnome ui to present our own and then dont even include gnome's? sounds sketchy | 21:13 |
| DasEi | Enissay: can try, pm me | 21:13 |
| coz_ | truepurple, actually, probably not | 21:13 |
| a2c4n9e1 | zvacet: come on... its okay, we're all learning here. perhaps someone else know about my problem | 21:13 |
| jmcantrell_ | anyone use a thinkpad t420 or t520? | 21:13 |
| armor-64 | Metaxa : Yes,i want to use Ubuntu classic without it | 21:13 |
| KrisDouglas | truepurple, unlikely, its just your desktop can't load. You have to ssh into your machine and install the graphics driver in text mode. | 21:13 |
| johnathan | KrisDouglas, I haven't tried that... if you wanna gimme the exact snax for it, i can try it | 21:13 |
| coz_ | truepurple, it would be showing an idication of what is being installed if it were installing and you have a text terminal / black screen with cursor blinking | 21:13 |
| coz_ | truepurple, seems something is hanging | 21:13 |
| johnathan | KrisDouglas, I am still a noobie at codes for terminal | 21:14 |
| zvacet | fosser_josh: do you have universe repo enabled | 21:14 |
| ohsix | vivid: we? ubuntu still ships gnome2, if you want it use the classic session; newer versions will include gnome3 after it's had some time to breathe, it was only just released | 21:14 |
| Metaxa | armor-64: Have you logged out of Unity and switched to Classic? | 21:14 |
| tripelb | zvacet, how much can I shrink it and not destroy any files. I read that ext4 spreads files out on the HD, unlike NTFS | 21:14 |
| kate__ | This is what I get if I let it just run: "udevd - work[84]: '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v00001002d00009591sv000017AAsd00002116bc03sc00i00' unexpected exit with status 0x0009" | 21:14 |
| vivid | ohsix, yet it was included in past releases | 21:14 |
| ohsix | vivid: it was not | 21:14 |
| Rehan | wow i guess a watched ubuntu install never finishes. Left it on overnight and it had actually installed w/o erroring out this time. | 21:14 |
| KrisDouglas | johnathan, Solution seems to be detailed in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1327907 | 21:14 |
| zvacet | a2c4n9e1: tnx for comfort | 21:14 |
| kate__ | And then it stops. | 21:14 |
| vivid | ohsix, check that....http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnome-shell&searchon=names&suite=maverick§ion=all | 21:14 |
| fosser_josh | zvacet: yah | 21:14 |
| truepurple | KrisDouglas: Well, I was having trouble with my video card drivers before updating even, I had a corrupted driver I couldn't remove, and was not sure what driver to use | 21:14 |
| zvacet | tripelb: you will se how nuch | 21:15 |
| truepurple | KrisDouglas: What is ssh? | 21:15 |
| armor-64 | Metaxa : yes to see if it change my setting on the top bar | 21:15 |
| ohsix | tripelb: filesystems already store everything all over the disk; theres really no distinction between filesystems in that regard, you're probably thinking of extents which are new in 4 | 21:15 |

| Olson | hello, I have ubuntu 11.04, upgrade from 10.04, the dialogue here show my NVIDIA display driver is not in use, is this just because I use the "classic no effects" setup, or does it need further investigation: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/11715 | 21:16 |
| KrisDouglas | truepurple, its remote shell (like remote desktop but it gives you a terminal.) sadly, if you don't know what that is, its likely to not be installed, and thus your install could be hosed. | 21:16 |
| MACscr | this probably being asked a lot the past two days, but can we not upgrade to 11.04 until all the PPA's we use upgrade to netty as well? | 21:16 |
| ohsix | vivid: gnome-shell 2.31 was from 2010, and was a development release | 21:16 |
| kate__ | I get the same error using a cd or a usb. | 21:16 |
| tripelb | zvacet, OK. I didnt know that. I keep learning stuff late. I started on a learning about linux website this week. -- I have another question if you would be so kind. (separate line) | 21:16 |
| armor-64 | Metaxa : OK | 21:16 |

| ohsix | vivid: gnome-shell might be the distinctive feature of gnome3 _now_, but that doesn't mean it was then | 21:16 |
| RyanCM | I'm running 10.10 amd64, and it's not letting me upgrade to 11.04. Anyone able to help? | 21:16 |
| zvacet | tripelb: you will see how much space is used so let shrinked partition in bigger then that | 21:16 |
| KrisDouglas | truepurple, In fact there is one option | 21:16 |
| fosser_josh | zvacet: is there any solution. coz last year i faced same problem but then later that problem is fixed | 21:16 |
| Guest30692 | Hello, ive upgraded to 11.04 and enjoyed unity but only until i rebooted, now it loads into old design, and if i log out user, im getting alot of gfx glitches,though there is none, if i dont log in (its auto logged in) | 21:17 |
| KrisDouglas | you could put grub into Single User Mode, remove the nvidia driver and see what happens | 21:17 |
| TiagoTiago | brb gonna see if i can find a blank disk on the unpacked boxes | 21:17 |
| vivid | ohsix, so why isnt gnome-shell in the repos now? | 21:17 |
| mello | Hi, i'm using my music library that is on my NTSF partition. In rhythmbox it loads all songs, in any other musicplayer it doesn't, anyone got an idea? | 21:17 |

| ohsix | RyanCM: open software properties and have it display updates that aren't lts releases | 21:17 |
| tripelb | zvacet, OK I understand what you have told me to do so I will go do it today. | 21:17 |

| banderl0g | wow..1.8k users | 21:18 |
| ohsix | vivid: because its dependencies aren't, gnome3 is not; gnome-shell 2.31 ran largely on top of gtk2 and all that stuff, for the developer previews | 21:18 |
| johnathan | KrisDouglas, Would it be the same as the Software Center? | 21:18 |
| tripelb | zvacet, did you get my second question (that I have been asking for days here, lol) | 21:18 |

| lcb | a2c4n9e1, ok, sorry, let me take you off the balance :) | 21:22 |
| ohsix | _Mr_Proper_: that was just to switch the wm to compiz or run ccsm, you can do that yourself too :] they have tests for compiz now, i think it just automatically runs if it can, then you would need to edit the settings with ccsm | 21:22 |
| zvacet | lcb: I don´ know about happy if we are here :) | 21:22 |

| truepurple | KrisDouglas: It didn't give me a option to choose ubuntu classic, but I loaded into a desktop, now I will see what happens if I restart | 21:23 |

| apatheticsheep | hola | 21:24 |

| ohsix | RyanCM: there are logs in /var/log/dist-upgrade you could look at, i'm not sure if they'd have been written to by the time you get the message you are getting, but it's worth a look | 21:25 |
| coz_ | need to break here,, be back later | 21:25 |
| kate__ | When I just pick 'install,' the green matrix letters start scrolling down the purple screen. | 21:25 |

| lcb | a2c4n9e1, a jackhammer, that's the only thing i use for hard-to-solve issues | 21:25 |
| TiagoTiago | If i use that universal installer thingy to place the iso on a usb stick, will i be able to install using that? | 21:25 |
| TheRedOctober | ohsix: roger, i just want to have one login to rule them all....the desktop is locked down. it is just for data input via firefox | 21:25 |
| botcity | kate__, what did you use to burn? | 21:25 |
| shugyosha | hy , I have issues with playing video in full screen with all players ( Totem ,vlc, mplayer) since a go from 10.09 to 11.04, the images makes lines like it can't refresh fast enough | 21:25 |
| zvacet | a2c4n9e1: i know it is not what you want but reinstall 10.10 and make partition as you like after that install natty on root and do not format other just thout | 21:25 |
| shugyosha | for you Rehan | 21:25 |
| RyanCM | ohsix: there's nothing in this directory. | 21:25 |
| kate__ | On the cd? Or the USB? | 21:25 |
| KrisDouglas | ipo, sorry, right. It seems there is either a problem with the machine or the disk if it is not loading past that point | 21:25 |
| TiagoTiago | usb | 21:25 |
| botcity | cd | 21:25 |
| Rehan | TiagoTiago: yeah, thats how i did it | 21:26 |
| TiagoTiago | i wanna use a USB stick to install on a HDD partition | 21:26 |
| KrisDouglas | I would recommend trying to burn another disk (or running the disk check from the pre-boot menu on the disk) | 21:26 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, why don't you install 11.04 and do the changes afterwards? | 21:26 |
| a2c4n9e1 | lcb, its not that hard to solve. coz i did it bfore in prev version | 21:26 |
| ohsix | RyanCM: then you'll need to look in /tmp, if logs still aren't there, then your machine isn't able to even fetch the upgrader | 21:26 |
| botcity | kate__, cd | 21:26 |
| kate__ | Well, I'm in 10.04lts... I right clicked on the iso and chose 'write to disk' and set it to the lowest speed. | 21:26 |
| truepurple | KrisDouglas: You think a driver update could fix this problem? | 21:26 |
| KrisDouglas | truepurple, certainly so. | 21:26 |
| TiagoTiago | how big does the stick needs to be? | 21:26 |
| d3vlin | installed natty x64 yesterday, booting shows only a big purple square, no logo. In syslog I see plymouth-splash terminating. Any clues? nvidia-current | 21:27 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, previous were grub2, too | 21:27 |
| a2c4n9e1 | so, 11.04 don't let me make own mountpoint? wow. i wonder why... | 21:27 |
| ohsix | rye: and if that's the case, you don't have an internet connection for all intents and purposes ... cuz you can't get the file from ubuntu's servers for the upgrade :D you could try changing your mirrors, i'm not sure where it gets the upgrader bundle | 21:27 |
| armor-64 | Metaxa : hmmm......i was using classic edition so far,ichange to ubuntu (normal to see if there will be changes)and now it have stuck in ubuntu classic,can i hide it somehow and use the top and bot bar as in ubuntu 10.10? | 21:27 |
| KrisDouglas | The problem you are experiencing, truepurple, is the display server cannot load on your card because of an updated kernel. | 21:27 |
| kate__ | I burned the 10.04 disk at the same time, and it worked. | 21:27 |
| a2c4n9e1 | lcb, does 11.04 not using grub2? | 21:27 |
| mello | hi, I try to load my music library into clementine from an NTFS partition, though roughly half of the songs are not being imported.. But they are visible in rhythmbox | 21:27 |

| soja | can someone help me with grub? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10735364#post10735364 | 21:27 |
| truepurple | KrisDouglas: How do I remove the corrupt old driver then? Could we please speak in PM? Less work keeping track of the conversation | 21:27 |
| d3vlin | the installer CD had a wonderful fullscreen ubuntu splash (1920x1080?) | 21:27 |
| zvacet | a2c4n9e1: newest is nor always best that is why | 21:27 |
| botcity | kate__, gnomebaker is what i used | 21:28 |
| KrisDouglas | ipo, other than burning another disk, and trying a USB boot. I am unsure. How much RAM does the machine in question have? | 21:28 |
| ohsix | mello: it's probably clementine, not the filesystem, though you could rule out the filesystem by copying all of them to another filesystem and trying the same thing, but it's not the filesystem | 21:28 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, yes. the help page for grub2 is pretty good and there are some scenarios, probably what you need too. hold on.. | 21:28 |
| kate__ | gnomebaker? | 21:28 |
| a2c4n9e1 | zcvacet: couldn't agree more on that... :) | 21:28 |
| ipo | KrisDouglas: 4 | 21:28 |
| Metaxa | armor-64: From what I have read so far that doesn't seem to be an option. Wish I could have been more help. | 21:28 |
| TiagoTiago | the previous upgrades didn't had so many issues, did they? They all went smoothlly for me.... | 21:28 |
| botcity | !burn | kate__ | 21:28 |
| mello | ohsix that's what im trying. Weird thing is, that i think clementine is not the only player having issues with it. | 21:28 |
| ubottu | kate__: CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 21:28 |
| d3vlin | I tried to get more verbose info during boot by removing quiet splash from /etc/default/grub but no luck, still showing the purple square | 21:28 |
| KrisDouglas | truepurple, see pm | 21:28 |
| kate__ | I burned this latest one exactly according to that page... I also made a USB installer and they both show the same message. | 21:29 |
| ohsix | mello: did you remove all songs from rhythmbox to see if they all loaded when you readded them? | 21:29 |
| a2c4n9e1 | hmm... i think i'll reinstall the 10.10 now | 21:29 |
| Diosjoe | Hello, after updating to 11.04 i could use unity, but after first reboot after the update, it jumps straight to the old design, if i log the user out, i get a lot of graphic disortion, mouse pointer missing etc, though if i relog in i have a slight chance of getting unity back, until i reboot... help please << anymore information needed? | 21:29 |

| armor-64 | Metaxa : no it's ok man thanks for the help,it seem i will format becouse i hate it,are you using it anyway? | 21:30 |
| mello | ohsix i should try.. but i'm pretty sure I reimported my library several times in rhythmbox. | 21:30 |
| ohsix | mello: rhythmbox keeps track of songs that have been added and just checks if they're still there; which is different from loading them all originally, it may have worked at one point in the past & rhythmbox may have been able to load all of them, then the disk became damaged | 21:30 |
| kate__ | Yet my image file checks out and I downloaded it three times from three different mirrors to be sure. | 21:30 |
| harovali | hi , i'm trying to set up a wireless modem, and I put all the configuration in NetworkManager . However, the option to connect to the network it should enable, does not appear in left-clicking in the doble arrow menu. ANy hint ? | 21:30 |

| mello | ohsix im now copying them, and i'll import in both clementine & rhythmbox | 21:30 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, look at this -> http://goo.gl/0qRRN and this -> http://goo.gl/uMAgK <- better if you do it instead of someone who don't know for real what's going on in there. | 21:31 |

| ohsix | mello: if you want a clean test run rhythmbox with --dry-run or --rhythmdb-file <newdb> so it wont' use the original database of song information | 21:31 |

| kate__ | I was running 10.10 on it. I tried to upgrade and it wouldn't boot properly after that. I had to tell it to run a 'previous linux version' but then it ran 11.04. I wanted to do a clean install so I could just start my computer. | 21:32 |

| phibxr | Rehan, when I click "Install" after a clean install, it works for a second and goes back to the product description screen with the "Install" button. facing the same issue on two laptops and one netbook. :S | 21:36 |
| kneaux | Safe to assume I can't upgrade directly from 10.04 to 11.04? | 21:36 |
| guntbert | diablosraven: you can tell your client to ignore the join/part messages | 21:36 |
| ohsix | MnCC: pick the classic session from the login screen | 21:36 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, then go for it; upgrade | 21:37 |
| phibxr | Rehan, using gdebi works just fine though. | 21:37 |
| armor-64 | Metaxa : i found the solution,whana hear it? | 21:37 |
| MnCC | i dont have that on the login screen | 21:37 |
| Nightshade_ | okay i have a question about unity | 21:37 |
| diablosraven | itll have to wait till i come back i guess | 21:37 |
| milligan | Just installed 11.04 on a laptop here. When booting the new system, the computer hangs at at the Ubuntu logo, with the dots underneath it. Booting an older kernel will work. | 21:37 |

| MnCC | i can choose users, thats it | 21:37 |
| ohsix | MnCC: at the bottom, after you click on your name | 21:37 |
| Rehan | phibxr: i have no idea what gdebi is :P | 21:37 |
| a2c4n9e1 | lcb, so i need to update 10.10 first. ? ouch, its gonna be a long night | 21:37 |

| a2c4n9e1 | lcb. hahaha.. i shouldn't remove the partition table in the first place. | 21:39 |
| Somelauw | Should I already upgrade to 11.4. I really don t care about unity or anything? | 21:39 |

| Metaxa | armor-64: Nice. In a month or so will you give gnome3 a try? | 21:40 |
| Somelauw | since maybe it is worht it | 21:40 |
| botcity | you said you use the alternative iso cd | 21:40 |
| sre-su | Is there a command to lock the screen than a keyboard shortcut? | 21:41 |
| ohsix | JoeCoolDesk: did you use lvm for / or have some other ad-hoc setup? | 21:41 |
| apatheticsheep | Metaxa: where would i find "additional drivers" I am more familiar with shell than gui. | 21:41 |
| kate__ | I used both. Someone earlier suggested trying the alternative. | 21:41 |
| kate__ | So I did. | 21:41 |
| a2c4n9e1 | lcb: it was a proxy box anyway, and the setting was backed up. so i thought why not start using 11.04 fresh from the bedshed. :D | 21:41 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, btw, if you are "playing" with the partitions better first backup your /home and probably /etc and /usr | 21:42 |

| guntbert | !gnome3 | armor-64 | 21:42 |
| ubottu | armor-64: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 21:42 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, you might not need /etc and /usr ... it's just in case you have some configs and packages you would like to take a look afterwards | 21:42 |
| JoeCoolDesk | ohsix, I'm just dual-booting with windows | 21:42 |
| botcity | kate__, maybe the normal iso and press f6 and disable the graphic s | 21:42 |
| ohsix | JoeCoolDesk: what is /? | 21:43 |
| TiagoTiago | If i install using the ISO will it erase all the files or if i already have the partitons ready it will just copy over the files involved in the install? | 21:43 |
| JoeCoolDesk | The root of the filesystem? | 21:43 |
| a2c4n9e1 | don't like the term upgrading, coz i thought it might leave some mess | 21:43 |
| ohsix | JoeCoolDesk: dual booting shouldn't matter or anything, how your filesystem is assembled might have been would be | 21:43 |
| apatheticsheep | Metaxa: it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" is this a gui for ndiswrapper? | 21:43 |
| kate__ | botcity, I'll give it a shot. Have to leave to do it, so thanks for your help. | 21:43 |
| Metaxa | Yes | 21:43 |
| a2c4n9e1 | but then i was wrong, its better upgrading with this realease | 21:43 |
| botcity | kate__, ok | 21:44 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, and in my opinion, before installing whatever, use the new image or another live linux and go to those dirs and compress , with nautilus, for example | 21:44 |
| aj00200 | I am having probelms with the windows not being resizable (particularly Firefox). Does someone know how to fix this? | 21:44 |
| JoeCoolDesk | ohsix, it was working yestreday and it's not today after the upgrade. The windows partition works so it's not the HDD | 21:44 |
| Kyubey | Heya | 21:44 |
| Kyubey | So yeah | 21:44 |
| ohsix | JoeCoolDesk: i didn't say it was, but if you want to be beligerent i've got other things to do | 21:44 |

| Kyubey | But I checked, and it appears natty uses palseaudio now | 21:44 |
| Kyubey | I have a wierd sound card, I think only ALSA works on it | 21:44 |
| Kyubey | Does anyone know how to fix it? | 21:45 |
| a2c4n9e1 | lcb, the conf and package are well backed up every week bfore, so i thought nothing to worry about starting a new installation from scratch. | 21:45 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: pulseaudio uses alsa to output sound, it's not an alternative | 21:45 |
| guntbert | sre-su: you question was not clear for me - what di you want to do? | 21:45 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: open the volume control and go to the hardware tab, do you see any devices? | 21:45 |
| mick_laptop | hi everyone, I installed ubuntu on an Acer laptop and everything was going just fine (for a few days) - now it is acting funny (started w/ X not really working like it should etc.). Now i get "No init found" and a busybox prompt | 21:45 |
| a2c4n9e1 | now i need to install 10.10 first, make my custom mount point and update, clean, and upgrade to 11.04 | 21:45 |
| Kyubey | I cant do that ohsix | 21:45 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, so burn the flash and you both (you+distro) will be happy ever after | 21:46 |
| mick_laptop | when i try to reinstall (w/ a cd or usb) I can't get passed that prompt | 21:46 |
| exalt | can i move the dash bar ? | 21:46 |
| a2c4n9e1 | lcb, but in your oppinion, will it worth it? | 21:46 |
| sudipta | how to test whether my nvidia card will support unity? | 21:46 |
| sre-su | guntbert: Got it myself.. I was searching a command like <qdbus org.kde.krunner /ScreenSaver org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.Lock | 21:46 |
| sre-su | > to lock screen | 21:46 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, the change/upgrade? | 21:46 |
| z0mbyk1d | guntbert: i'm just using do-release-upgrade | 21:46 |
| Kyubey | when I go to sound preferences, it says "Waiting for the sound system to respond" | 21:46 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: that's the first step, find out how to do it so your sound can be fixed | 21:46 |
| apatheticsheep | "network connections" module in KDE, when i click add under wireless, and then scan, shows my network. this would indicate to me that the drivers are loaded for the wireless card. | 21:46 |
| nanovany | how can I know if my video card works on ubuntu 11.04? | 21:46 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: ok, are you using kubuntu? | 21:46 |
| a2c4n9e1 | lcb, i mean, upgrading to 11.04 at the momment, with the freshly launched? | 21:46 |
| guntbert | sre-su: understood, glad you found it | 21:46 |
| TiagoTiago | The disk i'll be installt 11.04 already got dualboot set to boot Linux and Windows, is my Windows partition under any risk if i install Ubuntu again? | 21:46 |
| Kyubey | no | 21:46 |
| Kyubey | I'm using the standard unity ubuntu | 21:47 |
| guntbert | z0mbyk1d: but you *must* not jump over releases | 21:47 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: ok, open a terminal and run fuser -v /dev/snd/* paste teh output if there is any to paste.ubuntu.com | 21:47 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, of course it is. you get everything up-to-date. if you like a couple of ppl don't like unity use classic desktop option at login | 21:47 |
| apatheticsheep | but I see no way to connect to said wireless network. I type in my WPA key and select auto connect but it doesn't connect | 21:47 |

| z0mbyk1d | guntbert: you can't anyway, apparently | 21:48 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: i got this one, and that'd be 100% useless in this case, have to start at the top, pulse is failing to start or blocked on opening the devices | 21:48 |

| engammalsko | I have no window menu after configuring compiz. | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: if you want, the output is dead handy though | 21:49 |
| ny51bern | a2c4n9e1: ive already gotten pretty far, but the installer has prompted me asking "What do you want to do about modified configuration file grub?" | 21:49 |
| JoeCoolDesk | ohsix, what aare you talking about? | 21:49 |
| engammalsko | I don't have the close, minimize, maximize etc. | 21:49 |
| a2c4n9e1 | lcb, so i got 3 unmounted partition in 11.04, how to make it auto mounted?] | 21:49 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, or... add to startup applications ' gnome-menu ' and you'll have the bottom gnome panel. | 21:49 |

| lcb | a2c4n9e1, you have the answer on those tutos i gave you | 21:50 |
| Kyubey | Flash player is interfering with pulse? | 21:50 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, pretty explanatory | 21:50 |
| Kyubey | How do I fix this? | 21:50 |
| asteig | engammalsko: Do you know why it disappeared? | 21:50 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: yeah, so close whatever is using it, pulse goes to sleep by itself after a while and something can open the device directly under it | 21:51 |
| engammalsko | No, but it have happend before, asteig | 21:51 |
| asteig | engammalsko: Upgrade, etc? | 21:51 |

| ohsix | Kyubey: well, i'd stop using nspluginwrapper, but that doesn't really have anything to do with it; just kill flash and pulse will do everything itself | 21:51 |

| ActionParsnip | phibxr: because natty is released | 21:52 |

| engammalsko | asteig: I changed to Ubuntu-classic when loggin in, So I have the 10.10 menus etc. | 21:53 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: you can, but like i said; pulse goes to sleep when theres nothing to do, and that means a bad app can open and hog the device under it | 21:53 |

| aj00200 | FLeiXiuS: do they need to be re-enabled with compilz? | 21:53 |
| Oday | lcb, there is CVS and Subversion, and Subversion is NOT a CVS? | 21:53 |

| ny51bern | a2c4n9e1: I have no idea what those links mean. I'm pretty dumb when it comes to these things.. | 21:54 |
| ohsix | engammalsko: it's an option like any other in ccsm; can you actually move windows and switch their order at the moment? compiz could have crashed too | 21:54 |
| a2c4n9e1 | i'll be away for awhile | 21:55 |
| lcb | Oday, no, but you have packages in there for almost everything. try it and the ones you don't like it remove it. don't forget ubuntu is not like windoe$, so no garbages afters | 21:55 |
| FLeiXiuS | aj00200, allow m e to rephrase, I have decorations but they dont do anything. | 21:55 |

| samtate | ActionParsnip, OK thanks | 21:55 |
| ohsix | phibxr: you can't disable the decorator separately with metacity | 21:55 |

| engammalsko | Ok | 21:55 |
| aj00200 | FLeiXiuS: ouch. I'm sorry, but I don't know how to fix it. Maybe use this as an opportunity to learn to use keyboard shortcuts for everything | 21:55 |

| FunnyLookinHat | FLeiXiuS, that's what I thought - hmmm... | 21:57 |
| FLeiXiuS | FunnyLookinHat, or use cut/awk. | 21:57 |
| trae | odd... so on Unity I have to have an icon ON the desktop as well as ON the launcher? that's ridiculous. | 21:57 |
| ohsix | syn3rgy: in unity the top bar is not really a panel, it just looks like it; if you want the panel pick the classic session on the login screen, after you click on your username | 21:58 |
| engammalsko | Can I change the scroll to classic scroll? | 21:58 |
| FLeiXiuS | functor, You cant really grep for a 'tab' but you can grep for pattern matches. Or use awk/cut to separate the data. | 21:58 |
| lcb | ny51bern, check the scenarios there, you might get the one you need | 21:58 |

| ActionParsnip | Kyubey: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash | 21:59 |
| syn3rgy | ohsix yeah I think Ill do that. Is there anything that Unity has for an advanced user of *nix systems that I should know about? | 21:59 |
| engammalsko | Can I change the scroll to classic scroll? | 21:59 |
| trae | FunnyLookinHat: how can I add a launcher to the panel in unity WITHOUT adding it to the desktop first. And, giving it a custom icon on the panel. | 21:59 |

| trae | FunnyLookinHat: cause when I remove it from the desktop, it goes away from the panel. | 21:59 |
| ohsix | syn3rgy: not really; it's just different, i wouldn't try to look for things i'd just try and use it as it was intended, as close as you can like a new user | 21:59 |
| FunnyLookinHat | trae, Click the ubuntu icon in the top left, search for your app, and then click & drag it to the panel... | 21:59 |
| samtate | SudoGhost-Away, Install ccsm and tell me when your done | 21:59 |
| FunnyLookinHat | trae, To customize it further, right click ti. | 22:00 |

| samtate | SudoGhost-Away, paste apt:ccsm into your browser and press enter | 22:00 |
| lcb | ny51bern, check the commands for grub :P that's how i learn | 22:00 |
| engammalsko | Can I change my scrolls to the classis scroll? | 22:00 |
| trae | FunnyLookinHat: odd... I only get "keep in Launcher" when I right click | 22:00 |
| lcb | ny51bern, on those pages there is one with the list of commands | 22:00 |
| FunnyLookinHat | trae, Oh hmmm | 22:00 |
| SudoGhost-Away | samtate, Not found | 22:00 |
| FunnyLookinHat | trae, The other option is to create a folder of custom launchers in your home folder. | 22:00 |
| FunnyLookinHat | trae, And then link those to your unity panel | 22:01 |
| trae | FunnyLookinHat: lol | 22:01 |
| FunnyLookinHat | trae, suffice it to say: http://i.imgur.com/zdIIa.png | 22:01 |

| SudoGhost-Away | samtate, got it, thank you ver much | 22:04 |

| maxflax | I have problem upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 and this is my apt.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/600970/ | 22:06 |
| Oday | ok lcb | 22:06 |
| engammalsko | I can't move my windows anymore. | 22:06 |
| ohsix | trae: there was a long long long review period before the release | 22:06 |
| engammalsko | I used this command: sudo su | 22:06 |
| engammalsko | echo “export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0″ > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbars | 22:06 |
| Oday | great news, engammalsko | 22:06 |
| Kyubey | ActionParsnip, you have any ideas? | 22:06 |
| lcb | engammalsko, don't yell.. there is ppl sleeping here | 22:06 |
| botcity | UbuntuLove, of course it does | 22:06 |
| FunnyLookinHat | trae, ohsix yeah and the review process even involved a vote to back off Unity till 11.10 | 22:06 |
| ohsix | engammalsko: moving windows is another compiz plugin | 22:06 |
| d3vlin | update-initramfs broken in natty? I don't get any feedback/update, immediately returns to prompt | 22:06 |
| trae | will head over there to save this channel some traffic | 22:07 |
| zombor | has anyone got sound working with an intel H61 i3 processor on board audio? when i do alsamixer it says "cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument" | 22:07 |
| ohsix | FunnyLookinHat: you'll find that any time that question is asked it will always put something like unity off, into perpetuity | 22:07 |
| tase | How do I verify the integrity of a 10.10 Live CD ? | 22:07 |
| lcb | trae, don't worry. in time the transit police would be here | 22:07 |
| d3vlin | i.e. # update-initramfs -v or -h doesn't show anything | 22:07 |
| maxflax | I have problem upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 and this is my apt.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/600970/ | 22:08 |

| * mcphail is giving up on the 64 bit live cd and trying the alternate cd. | 22:08 | |
| ohsix | tase: with md5sum, compare it to the version on the website; or use the "check disk for errors" entry on the initial boot menu | 22:08 |

| Soothsayer | I was running the internet upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04... during the installing process, my screen went blank.. and it kinda froze.. so I switched off my laptop directly. | 22:09 |
| lcb | maxflax, i took a quick look. do sudo apt-get check && sudo apt-get -f install | 22:09 |
| Soothsayer | Now when I boot, "The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present". I'm getting this at Boot. | 22:09 |
| Dominater | how do i resize the bar on the left hand size where the icons are? | 22:09 |
| engammalsko | Or more importent. Why can't I use ctrl+alt+t to open the shell? I have looked up my hotkeys and it's right but it doesn't work. | 22:09 |
| ohsix | tase: the thing that asks for your language? you might need to press a key to display it | 22:09 |
| alaruz | I have an issue with the nm-applet. I have a laptop with 2 users. However only the first user logging in gets to use the nm-applet and choose wireless networks and more. I need to kill the nm-applet with sudo to be able to use it with user nr 2. Is this a known bug or should I report it, if so how? | 22:09 |
| maxflax | lcb - ok | 22:09 |

| figure002 | hello. i've just burned the new ubuntu to a cd and i'm ready to install it *next to* ubuntu 10.10. but i don't want it to overwrite my grub from 10.10. is there a way to tell it to use the grub settings from 10.10? | 22:10 |
| Dominater | how do i resize the bar on the left hand size where the icons are? | 22:10 |
| lcb | maxflax, you didn't upgrade your system before 11.04 :( | 22:10 |
| ohsix | alaruz: it should work with both, but the changes would be mutually exclusive, it would get the authentication/wifi information only from one however | 22:10 |
| lcb | a2c4n9e1, :) | 22:10 |
| Dominater | how do i resize the bar on the left hand size where the icons are? | 22:10 |

| Neosano | Hello guys, I'm installing ubuntu on usb flash drive, is it a good idea to create a swap partition or not? | 22:10 |
| lcb | kycka, from zero | 22:10 |
| z0mbyk1d | 24 minutes left of package downloads to go from 9.10 to 10.04 | 22:10 |
| a2c4n9e1 | and now i have a problem installing opensshserver | 22:10 |
| maxflax | lcb - what do you mean? | 22:10 |
| z0mbyk1d | jesus i didnt realize this machine was so far behind | 22:10 |
| lcb | maxflax, did you? | 22:11 |
| ohsix | Dominater: install ccsm and edit the settings for the Unity plugin in it | 22:11 |
| Kyubey | Everyone, I'm having trouble getting sound to work in natty. I cant adjust the volume or unmute it, and if I click sound preferences, it tells me "Waiting for sound system to respond" | 22:11 |
| samtate | ActionParsnip: What did you tell me to do before? | 22:11 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: i told you what the problem is | 22:11 |
| Dominater | ohsix, thank you | 22:11 |
| a2c4n9e1 | it keeps telling me the openssh-client version is higher than the openssh-server needed | 22:11 |
| maxflax | lcb - my 10.10 is a initial install - no upgrade | 22:11 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: what part of the answer did you not like? | 22:11 |
| tase | ohsix: .... my language ? yea ok there is "Try Ubuntu" and "install ubuntu", its a GUI, which button/key ? | 22:11 |
| lcb | maxflax, also type sudo dpkg -a | 22:11 |
| samtate | ActionParsnip: To do with my sound card, and putting something into some file. Because I lost it :P | 22:11 |

| zombor | has anyone got sound working with an intel H61 i3 processor on board audio (Realtek ALC887)? when i do alsamixer it says "cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument" | 22:12 |
| Neosano | Hello guys, I'm installing ubuntu on usb flash drive, is it a good idea to create a swap partition or not? | 22:12 |
| MACscr | there is zero logic to that statement. I really hate spammers | 22:12 |
| lcb | maxflax, before upgrading to 11.04 we need to update/grade our previous installation | 22:12 |
| Kyubey | ohsix - the part where you were fixing flash and not my sound at all | 22:13 |
| z0mbyk1d | 'immediate forgiveness' jesus, forgive me immediately | 22:13 |
| z0mbyk1d | kthxbai | 22:13 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: that's not the best advice to give without also telling them to report a bug if it does work, if they roll with it and don't report a bug it might never be fixed | 22:13 |
| lcb | maxflax, upgrading not meaning dist-upgrade | 22:13 |
| * mongy logs ActionParsnip and calls it ubuntu-bible.doc | 22:13 | |
| ohsix | Kyubey: flash is the problem, it's opened the sound device under pulse | 22:13 |
| maxflax | lcb - the sudo dpkg -a doesn't work - says it needs a action to do | 22:13 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: kill flash and pulse will start, but you'll probably run into the problem again in the future | 22:13 |
| FORTHELULZ | who said my name | 22:13 |
| lcb | maxflax, it works, try to reboot | 22:13 |
| FunnyLookinHat | zombor, GO AWAY | 22:13 |
| Kyubey | ohsix - I dont have flash running right now | 22:13 |
| lcb | maxflax, wait... | 22:13 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: i've used the native plugin and have not had that problem in a very very long time, and nspluginwrapper is garbage | 22:14 |
| zombor | FunnyLookinHat: FIX MY PROBLEM | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | mongy: hehe | 22:14 |
| Kyubey | It's still not letting me adjust the sound | 22:14 |
| crazyrohila | Neosano: why not you can make swap it's not bad idea :-) | 22:14 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: ok, then repaste the output of fuser -v /dev/snd/* | 22:14 |
| arand | forthelulz: Spammer | 22:14 |
| FunnyLookinHat | zombor, SUDO RM -RF / | 22:14 |
| _Mr_Proper_ | Something is borked with my video card-- Normal display is fine, but if I open up a movie file, everything has a blue tint. The additional drivers window says the nvidia driver is 'activated but not currently in use' | 22:14 |
| FunnyLookinHat | NOBODY TYPE THAT | 22:14 |
| _Mr_Proper_ | Can anyone help? | 22:14 |
| FORTHELULZ | thx | 22:14 |
| alaruz | ohsix: I can confirm that it is also how it seems to work. (networks added one one user is also stored on the other) how ever since this is a laptop it tends to be moved around. :) e.g. if user 1 logs in and (has control of the applet?) and later switches to user 2, how can that user add a new wifi network without first killing the applet? | 22:14 |
| FunnyLookinHat | _Mr_Proper_, Try a reboot after activating the driver? | 22:14 |
| Neosano | crazyrohila, well, some people say that it will kill my thumb drive faster | 22:14 |
| FunnyLookinHat | _Mr_Proper_, Also - do you have an Optimus card or something similar? | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | _Mr_Proper_: http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/fix-blue-tinted-video-in-ubuntu | 22:14 |
| crazyrohila | nope | 22:14 |
| Kyubey | ohsix http://paste.ubuntu.com/600976/ | 22:15 |
| _Mr_Proper_ | FunnyLookinHat, Have done, and I've tried both current- and 173 | 22:15 |
| lcb | maxflax, when the system is booting press SHIFT after the bios messages. you'll get the choice of kernels. select recovery. then you'll get a menu. select first CLEAN, then DPKG, then GRUB lastly failsafeX | 22:15 |
| crazyrohila | Neosano: nope | 22:15 |
| ohsix | alaruz: they can and should be able to add it for themselves, since the nm-applet they run provides all the information for networkmanager to do the work | 22:15 |
| quick_nick | what was that all about? | 22:15 |
| _Mr_Proper_ | Ta, I'll check the link out, its an nVidia 8800 GT | 22:15 |
| mello | ohsix: I tried importing my library in rhythmbox clementine and exaile | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | _Mr_Proper_: you ot seen that link? | 22:15 |
| maxflax | lcb - ok | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | *not | 22:15 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: ok you have yet another problem with a browser plugin opening the device under pulseaudio | 22:15 |
| Neosano | crazyrohila, uhhm, ok, thanks | 22:15 |
| quick_nick | dude has nothing better to do than to? | 22:15 |
| lcb | maxflax, no precipitations, do it calmly | 22:15 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: keep killing it until it says pulseaudio in the output of fuser -v /dev/snd/* | 22:15 |
| mello | ohsix: rhythmbox=3772, clementine=2650,exaile=around 2300 | 22:16 |
| _Mr_Proper_ | ActionParsnip, I have now, I'll have a try with -recommended | 22:16 |
| _Mr_Proper_ | thx | 22:16 |
| Ubuntu | unity does not support propietary nvidia card in my system...any help...pls | 22:16 |
| JPeterson | if I do "boot" then "no kernel is loaded" | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | _Mr_Proper_: not websearched before asking? I found that in a matter of seconds.. | 22:16 |
| JPeterson | if I do linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro | 22:16 |
| lcb | Ubuntu, disable it and use generic while there is no update on those | 22:16 |
| _Mr_Proper_ | I wasn't searching for blue hue, I was searching for something else | 22:16 |
| bsmith093 | can i control the speed of ripping an audio cd to avoid skipping and jumping files | 22:16 |
| ohsix | mello: are they all mp3 or are there wma, ogg, flac and stuff all in there | 22:16 |
| samtate | ActionParsnip: I'm afraid that didnt work | 22:16 |
| alaruz | ohsix: Thats the thing, they are able to do that seperately. But the applet only seems to be "available" for one user at the time. e.g. on the second user the area where the applet is supposed to be is blank on the panel. | 22:16 |
| Kyubey | ohsix, now when I type that command it doesnt display anything | 22:16 |
| curiousx | Hi all =) | 22:17 |

| cardamoon | Speaking of, do you think the Narwhal upgrade dohick will seizure if I cancel it in the middle of its fetch? I thought I'd be gone longer than I was, so I'd rather wait for the download later. | 22:17 |

| mello | ohsix: i already thought of that: there are some flac and ogg in there, but not up to 1K | 22:17 |

| lcb | Ubuntu, hopefully yes, because i'm a junk computer colector | 22:23 |
| karth | anyone know how to modify unity so it doesn't do font scaling? | 22:23 |
| alex_ | j #ubuntu | 22:23 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: are you running it as root? | 22:23 |
| ny51bern | lcb: any ideas? | 22:23 |
| alex_ | woops | 22:23 |
| lcb | ny51bern, yes, update | 22:23 |
| Diosjoe | Bloublou,ive been running ubuntu fine, until i updated to 11.04. After upate it booted nicely with the new design. But after first reboot, it loads into old design, though works without glitches, unless i log out, then the gfx screws up | 22:23 |
| Kyubey | oh, woops | 22:23 |
| Kyubey | Okay | 22:24 |
| ohsix | it's a user level service | 22:24 |
| Kyubey | I typed sudo as an automatic thing | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Kyubey: if you use sudo as little as possible, you won't break file ownerships | 22:24 |
| Rockj | Q: This new unity stuff, the tool bar at the top is rather annoying , I want the tool bar to be attached to my windows again so I can still continune to use "focus with mouse move" .. how do I fix this in unity? | 22:24 |
| ohsix | it'll be a fun day when that does something really bad | 22:24 |
| lcb | ny51bern, backup your /home dir to play on the safe side | 22:24 |
| Kyubey | ohsix, I ran the same command as normal, it said it "Failed to kil daemon: No such file or directory" | 22:24 |
| Diosjoe | if i login again, through the gfx mess, i might be lucky to have the new design back up, with no glitches, but still if i reboot it goes back | 22:24 |
| Neosano | Diosjoe, in my life I did 3 upgrades, none of these decisions were good. | 22:24 |
| ny51bern | lcb: theres no option to update..? | 22:24 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: then it started normally? | 22:24 |
| haroon | hello | 22:25 |
| Diosjoe | Neosano, so your saying format, install straight to 11.04 instead of updating | 22:25 |
| haroon | I need help | 22:25 |
| ohsix | Rockj: you probably wan't the classic session then, pick it on the login screen after clicking on your name | 22:25 |
| Kyubey | ohsix, huh? | 22:25 |
| Ubuntu | lcb:why is it not working after all...canonical says it is for netbooks...with less requirement....and yet it seems not to work(my one frnd had the same problem) | 22:25 |
| haroon | I just installed 11.04 | 22:25 |
| samtate_ | ActionParsnip: Still no :/ | 22:25 |
| html_inprogress | well thats a whole lots of confusion,, i tried like 5 min ago and there was like 88 ppl on that irc, and no one around did they move it? (#ubuntu) | 22:25 |
| Kyubey | ohsix, it said it failed to kill the daemon because there's no such file or directory | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | haroon: please use one line | 22:25 |
| alishah | hi, what is the most lite weight browser available in ubunutu? | 22:25 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio tries to kill it, then run it again | 22:25 |
| Neosano | Diosjoe, well, you can upgrade, but be prepared for some things to get fucked up | 22:25 |
| === Ubuntu is now known as Ubuntu123 | ||
| ActionParsnip | samtate_: do you reboot in between? | 22:25 |
| Kyubey | ohsix, yeah, but it's saying there's no such file or directory | 22:25 |
| Diosjoe | Neosano, well i guess thats what happend | 22:25 |
| samtate_ | ActionParsnip: Yeah of course | 22:25 |
| Kyubey | ohsix, when it tries to kill it | 22:26 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: that is fine, forget it, just run pulseaudio -vvv and see what it isays | 22:26 |
| Rockj | ohsix: hm, ok. ill try that. so ubuntu still got gnome? | 22:26 |
| kapare_ | Hello, does anyone have ATI card with ubuntu 11.04 and OpenGL working?? | 22:26 |
| Diosjoe | Well, ill format and reinstall it soon | 22:26 |
| samtate_ | ActionParsnip: Unity is just really fast at starting | 22:26 |
| Diosjoe | though i must give PROPS to all devs | 22:26 |
| Diosjoe | on ALL improvements | 22:26 |
| BlouBlou | samtate_: It depends of your hardware | 22:26 |
| Diosjoe | i already love 11.04 | 22:26 |
| ohsix | Rockj: yea, ubuntu still is 99.99% gnome, unity is a plugin for compiz which is an alternative window manager | 22:26 |
| Soothsayer | Do I have to define swap space during installation ? Does sawp require a separate partition? | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | samtate_: hehe, all I can recommend is you find the option you need for your make and model system | 22:26 |
| ohsix | Soothsayer: it doesn't require a separate partition, but you should use one if you can | 22:26 |
| samtate_ | ActionParsnip: How can I find my sound card. Is there a command? | 22:26 |
| haroon | I just installed 11.04 at my labtop lenovo B560 .Wireless was working in 10.04 using broadcom now wireless isn't working please help | 22:26 |
| Ubuntu123 | lcb:::: | 22:26 |
| ohsix | Soothsayer: so you can hibernate to it | 22:26 |
| html_inprogress | alishah, in what way ? lite ram its firefox | 22:27 |
| Soothsayer | ohsix: ye, I want to hibernate it | 22:27 |
| Soothsayer | ohsix: I have 3 gb of ram on this laptop.. so how much swap space? | 22:27 |
| scorch_ | Is there any way to continue an aborted 10.10 to 11.04 upgrade? | 22:27 |
| Soothsayer | 4 GB ? | 22:27 |
| Kyubey | lots of text | 22:27 |
| ohsix | haroon: install the firmware with b43-fwcutter or use bcmwl-kernel-source | 22:27 |
| Rockj | ohsix: but ubuntu dev's really should look at moving the "toolbar" top back to the windows agains, other then that unity looks sweet | 22:27 |
| === samtate_ is now known as samtate | ||
| ActionParsnip | samtate_: most are just intel compatible things, there is an alsa-info script on the sound troubleshooting documentation, it will tell you a lot | 22:27 |
| Kyubey | and it doesnt appear to be done | 22:27 |
| Soothsayer | or shall I make it 4.5 GB in case I plan to upgrade to 4GB? | 22:27 |
| Neosano | Soothsayer, you can change the size later | 22:28 |
| ohsix | Soothsayer: sure, i did 6 because i have a lot of stuff that lives on swap most of the time | 22:28 |
| resixian | is there not yet an 11.04 netbook edition? | 22:28 |
| blurgh | Is there any way to get global menus fixed in applications that not yet have it implemented? | 22:28 |
| arand | resixian: It was merged with desktop | 22:28 |
| Neosano | Soothsayer, but yeah, swap must be a little bit bigger than your memory | 22:28 |
| resixian | arand: ah, there is still a link on the alternative dl page | 22:28 |
| tauntaun | Is there anyway to encode a DVD onto my ipod using Rhythmbox? If not, can another application do it? | 22:28 |
| Soothsayer | Neosano, ohsix ok. And what file system should it use? ext4? | 22:28 |
| resixian | arand: thx | 22:28 |
| alishah | html_inprogress: I tried firefox, its not lite enough.. I just want one with cookies js n flash support no fancy features? | 22:28 |
| Ubuntu123 | lcb:: | 22:28 |
| Kyubey | ohsix, it stopped, it's not done yet, but new text isnt printing anymore | 22:28 |
| Kyubey | ohsix (but I dont have a new prompt | 22:29 |
| Neosano | Soothsayer, for swap?? there's no filesystem for swap | 22:29 |
| ohsix | Rockj: well, there was a design and they fleshed it out, and a review period that was long and before the rerlease so theres not much to say about it now :\ they might bin it if it's no good ;] | 22:29 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: ok pulse is running now | 22:29 |
| arand | resixian: I think the fault link has been noted already.. | 22:29 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: try and open the mixer | 22:29 |
| Kyubey | oh! | 22:29 |
| Neosano | Soothsayer, for you system you'll be good with ext4 | 22:29 |
| Kyubey | it worked! | 22:29 |
| Soothsayer | Neosano: I'm creating a partition here using gparrted for it. | 22:29 |
| pattysmatty | how do i enable vlc player or divx player for firefox? | 22:29 |
| Soothsayer | ok | 22:29 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: ok now close the mixer, hit ^C in the terminal, then open the mixer again | 22:29 |
| truepurple | How do I install flash for 64bit ubuntu? | 22:29 |
| samtate | hi | 22:29 |
| Neosano | Soothsayer, just choose SWAP, it doesn't ask for filesystem | 22:29 |
| haroon | I installed it from synaptic but no change | 22:30 |
| samtate | In Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop, sound works fine on the internal speakers, but plugging in external ones cuts it out | 22:30 |
| html_inprogress | alishah, restate your question, i dont understand | 22:30 |
| Kyubey | ohsix - now it says "waiting fo the sound system to respond" | 22:30 |
| scorch_ | Is there any way to continue an aborted 10.10 to 11.04 upgrade? It froze on me and I had to reboot. now it says on bootup drive "/" not ready and my system will not star | 22:30 |
| pattysmatty | how do i enable divx player for firefox? | 22:30 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: fuser -v /dev/snd/* again | 22:30 |
| alishah | I want a browser that takes lesser ram and processing thn firefox n chrome. | 22:30 |
| Diosjoe | scorch_ i think no | 22:31 |
| alishah | html_inprogress: want a browser that takes lesser ram and processing thn firefox n chrome. | 22:31 |
| Kyubey | ohsix, doesnt print anything | 22:31 |
| Neosano | samtate, it's your laptop feature, you can't change this behavior | 22:31 |
| samtate | alishah: Midori by elementary team | 22:31 |
| Soothsayer | Neosano: that's in gparted? | 22:31 |
| samtate | Neosano: Was that a joke? It worked in Windows | 22:31 |
| Soothsayer | or during installation ? | 22:31 |
| alishah | samtate: thanx buddy will check it out. | 22:31 |
| ohsix | alishah: it all comes down to what you browse pretty much regardless of the browser; the internet is getting more complicated | 22:31 |
| Rockj | ohsix: hm, so what you are saying is that they had a design issue about it, and they dropped it and implemented it just as faulty as it is done in OS X? or do you mean it's design document is long over due and accepted a long time ago? if the last one, can I still submit a ticket and hope for it getting fixed in the future? | 22:31 |
| Neosano | samtate, oh, then try alsamixer or gamix | 22:31 |
| html_inprogress | pattysmatty, you can have divx player for ubuntu? | 22:31 |
| scorch_ | Diosjoe, so I have tostartover from scratch? | 22:31 |
| trism | truepurple: if you mean the preview 64bit one here http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html you can just unzip it and copy it to ~/.mozilla/plugins and it should work with both chromium and firefox | 22:31 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: then pulse isn't autospawning properly by itself, did you do anything funny like try and get it to run in system mode or mess with it's config files? | 22:31 |
| pattysmatty | html_inprogress, well at least a codec... | 22:32 |
| pattysmatty | that plays those | 22:32 |
| Kyubey | ohsix, no | 22:32 |
| truepurple | trism: How do I copy it to there? | 22:32 |
| maxflax | lcb - didn't help much | 22:32 |
| Kyubey | ohsix - I installed this last night, all I've done is install xchat and set a few compiz shortcuts | 22:32 |
| perlsyntax | anyone know how to get a truemobile pc card that wireless to work on ubuntu? | 22:32 |
| html_inprogress | pattysmatty, ghow do i get that? | 22:32 |
| alishah | ohsix: I don't mind if it loads pages a bit slower, i don't want it to affect other apps am running with it. | 22:32 |
| perlsyntax | 1150 | 22:32 |
| Diosjoe | scorch_ if this installation was aborted under operation, at some random point you have stopped the process,i dont think the can compare the builds and fix the errors | 22:32 |
| ohsix | Rockj: i said the time for input has mostly passed for things like that, it's not faulty it's just new | 22:32 |
| samtate | In Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop, sound works fine on the internal speakers, but plugging in external ones cuts it out. Any advice? | 22:33 |
| maxflax | lcb - to bad that log doesn't tell what the problem is.. is a really crappy logging feature | 22:33 |
| perlsyntax | anyone | 22:33 |
| pattysmatty | html_inprogress, idk... i accidentally deleted mine a hwile back | 22:33 |
| pattysmatty | it sucks though | 22:33 |
| Diosjoe | Like if your installing a game or something else scorch_ | 22:33 |
| webstrand | Why is the distribution upgrade trying to remove a bunch of my games? | 22:33 |
| Neosano | Soothsayer, oh, when it asks for file system choose linux-swap | 22:33 |
| Neosano | Soothsayer, that's for swap of course | 22:33 |
| Diosjoe | if you plug the power, it messes things up | 22:33 |
| ohsix | alishah: then you need to use something like links that doesn't even load images or anything but text; but seriously once you start doing anything else you're pretty much loading what you browse regardless of what's doing it | 22:33 |
| scorch_ | ok | 22:33 |
| Soothsayer | Neosano: baa, i chose ext4 | 22:33 |
| trism | truepurple: either using nautilus or if you are in the same directory with it: mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins; cp libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins | 22:33 |
| Soothsayer | and im already in the installer.. | 22:34 |
| Diosjoe | Scorch_ where you updating or installing from scratch? | 22:34 |
| perlsyntax | someone got to know something on wlan-ng driver | 22:34 |
| pattysmatty | how do i get the divx plugin | 22:34 |
| resumenes | hello! | 22:34 |
| truepurple | trism: How do I even find that directory? | 22:34 |
| Rockj | ohsix: obiously it is faulty when you drop functionality that has been in unix systems since their beginning.( Being able to focus windows just by moving your mouse ...) | 22:34 |
| maxflax | I have problem upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 and this is my apt.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/600970/ | 22:34 |
| Neosano | Soothsayer, don't worry | 22:34 |
| Soothsayer | Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed! | 22:34 |
| mrstocks | wwwwwaaaaaaaaaahhh 11.04 whaaaaaaaat | 22:34 |
| resumenes | hello! | 22:34 |
| Soothsayer | what is that message? | 22:34 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: well if nothing has been messed with it should be auto spawning; i don't know what to say | 22:34 |
| mrstocks | all the menus are like.... left and right | 22:34 |
| Neosano | Soothsayer, after installation you can run live cd and change your partitions any way you want | 22:34 |
| resumenes | any spanish= | 22:34 |
| resumenes | ? | 22:34 |
| maxflax | I have problem upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 and this is my upgrade log http://paste.ubuntu.com/600970/ | 22:34 |
| mrstocks | i cant see the control panel to move them | 22:34 |
| samtate | In Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop, sound works fine on the internal speakers, but plugging in external ones cuts it out. Someone told me about a script on the alsa website the other day that I could use to fix it, but I cant remember what it was | 22:34 |
| trism | truepurple: ctrl+h in nautilus shows hidden directories, and ctrl+L lets you type in paths | 22:34 |
| Kyubey | I'm gonna try restarting | 22:34 |
| ohsix | Rockj: no, they didn't remove anything; it's entirely new, that's a red herring | 22:34 |
| resumenes | any spanish to talk? | 22:34 |
| tauntaun | Is there anyway to encode a CD onto my ipod using Rhythmbox? If not, can another application do it? | 22:35 |
| z0mbyk1d | apparently not many people read about the changes in natty before they upgraded... getting so goddamned sick of people whininc about how they dumbed it down | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !es | resumenes | 22:35 |
| ubottu | resumenes: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 22:35 |
| z0mbyk1d | i am enjoying the upgrades personally, but then again I only run server edition! | 22:35 |
| ohsix | Rockj: and even asserting it was a good idea when it was added "in the beginning" is another red herring, you simply like it, therefore it is a good idea | 22:35 |
| tauntaun | In other words, is there something like iTunes for Ubuntu? | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | tauntaun: use soundjuicer | 22:35 |
| Soothsayer | ok, i rebooted and that error went away. | 22:35 |
| Soothsayer | Strange stuff with the 11.04 installer. | 22:35 |
| alishah | samtate: Can you tell me the name of the browser again please. am using irssi n i don't know how 2 scrol up. | 22:35 |
| Mac_Weber | I followed this tutorial to install tomcat. However, it is not auto starting at boot. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/installing-tomcat-6-on-ubuntu | 22:35 |
| Diosjoe | tauntaun tried googling, Itunes linux | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | tauntaun: or you can use rhythmnbox or banshee to put songs onto it | 22:35 |
| samtate | alishah: Midori | 22:36 |
| Rockj | ohsix: you still break compability with work flow that's been working since the "80's". Now your doing the same mistake as Apple have done, making the toolbar stuck at the top so your unable to access it at all if your using auto focus by mouse... | 22:36 |
| Mac_Weber | I'm on ubuntu 10.04. How to fix it? | 22:36 |
| alishah | samtate: thanks :) | 22:36 |
| ohsix | Rockj: i sympathize but it's not a useful way of thinking if you want to improve it, you simply want what you like and use added to the new thing, which kind of defeats the purpose a little | 22:36 |
| z0mbyk1d | Mac_Weber: did you update-rc.d\ | 22:36 |
| KM0201 | tauntaun: itunes alternatives under linux aren't very good IME... i eventually just started runing xp in vbox, and syncing my ipod w/ itunes | 22:36 |
| conical | is it a bad, bad idea to try and use my ubuntu box as a DNS server for my home intranet? | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | tauntaun: some versions of itunes will run in some versions of wine | 22:36 |
| Neosano | tauntaun, like someone knows what is itunes, lol, I never got a point of it. | 22:36 |
| ohsix | Rockj: it's a mistake from your perspective | 22:36 |
| truepurple | trism: ~/.mozilla the ~ is what ever your name is listed as? Then create a directory called plugins and just drop the file in? | 22:36 |
| Mac_Weber | z0mbyk1d: just type update-rc.d? | 22:36 |
| ohsix | Rockj: it's a design decision from someone elses perspective | 22:36 |
| z0mbyk1d | Mac_Weber: type man update-rc.d | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | conical: not at all, it will speed up the web :) | 22:36 |
| z0mbyk1d | and learn a bit | 22:36 |
| z0mbyk1d | you need to define what runlevels tomcat should start at | 22:36 |
| trism | truepurple: yep, ~ is your home directory, so if your username is truepurple, it would expand to /home/truepurple | 22:36 |
| escott | conical, your router will usually want to be a dns, but you might be able to turn it off | 22:37 |
| conical | is there an "easy" way to do it | 22:37 |
| z0mbyk1d | look under /etc/init.d too to see if tomcat created a script for itself | 22:37 |
| Kyubey | Haha | 22:37 |
| Kyubey | ohsix | 22:37 |
| pattysmatty | firefox4 is shit | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | conical: I put a dns server on allmy systems as tey will cache resolutions, speed up the web nicely | 22:37 |
| ohsix | haroon: installed which one? b43-fwcutter has a script you need to run to do it, and bcmwl-kernel-source would need a reboot, or at least an rmmod ssb & b43 then modprobe wl | 22:37 |
| z0mbyk1d | depending on how it was installed it may not have | 22:37 |
| conical | i can point the router to my home machine | 22:37 |
| Kyubey | ohsix, guess what? Restarting fixed it XD | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | pattysmatty: keep it family friendly please | 22:37 |
| trism | truepurple: but ~ is automatically expanded, so you can actually type a ~ | 22:37 |
| === niiiiiiiiiiiiiii is now known as alpine | ||
| escott | conical, rather i mean dhcp | 22:37 |
| Kyubey | ohsix, I think it might be because I was hibernating | 22:37 |
| ny51bern | lcb: is that "install the package maintainer's version" | 22:37 |
| tauntaun | Well I have Rhythmbox running, but I have no sense of where to find a 'rip' command, like the 'encode' of iTunes. Any ideas? | 22:37 |
| Neosano | conical well maybe you need something smaller than ubuntu? | 22:37 |
| ohsix | pattysmatty: if you need help or have a question please ask, otherwise take offtopic things to #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:37 |
| Rockj | ohsix: bad design decision then if I may say so ;-) But does this Unity have a project side so I at least can make a ticket about it? | 22:37 |
| ny51bern | lcb: option | 22:37 |
| scorch_ | Diosjoe updateing | 22:37 |
| ohsix | Kyubey: highly unlikely re: hibernating | 22:37 |
| conical | a second machine to just do dns | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | conical: you'd tell yoursystems to use the DNS system first, you can set interfaces to DHCP (address only) | 22:37 |
| z0mbyk1d | ok, quitting in prep to reboot into 10.04 on this server | 22:38 |
| pattysmatty | ActionParsnip, how do i get a divx codec running in firefox??? | 22:38 |
| mrstocks | Where is my menu!!!!! | 22:38 |
| z0mbyk1d | got a long way to go before i am on natty hehe | 22:38 |
| truepurple | trism then just create that directory with that name and plop the file in? | 22:38 |
| Kyubey | ohsix - anyways, it's working now | 22:38 |
| Kyubey | Thanks for your help :) | 22:38 |
| Diosjoe | scorch_ ok, then i would really say, better get reinstalling from scratch | 22:38 |
| mrstocks | the admin, apparenance and stuff | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | conical: could install a caching proxy too so you don't have to download from the web when you need content if the newest files are stored already | 22:38 |
| Neosano | conical, maybe this will help? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/best-distro-for-dns-server-435160/ | 22:38 |
| mrstocks | i have pointless ones | 22:38 |
| conical | it's probably better to stay away since I don't fully understand it, and doing it improperly could rip a hole in the universe | 22:38 |
| Karen_m | what's the best flowcharting software for ubuntu? Know how there is freemind, I was hoping there is something lightweight like it to do flowcharting. | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | pattysmatty: no idea, I don't use it | 22:38 |
| samtate | In Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop, sound works fine on the internal speakers, but plugging in external ones cuts it out. Someone told me about a script on the alsa website the other day that I could use to fix it, but I cant remember what it was | 22:38 |
| ohsix | Rockj: theres ayatana which is the cabal running the show, but they're designers and programmers, i don't think they're much accepting that sort of idea, they have a concept already; you at best can ask for them to account for your use-case, if you provide it | 22:38 |
| ny51bern | can any1 help with installing ubuntu 11? | 22:38 |
| conical | well, more like bring down my home network, but close enough | 22:38 |
| maxflax | I have problem upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 and this is my upgrade log http://paste.ubuntu.com/600970/ | 22:38 |
| samtate | ny51bern: I can, what do you need? | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | samtate: do you have the alsa link it made? | 22:39 |

| Rockj | ohsix: that's my plan, I would love to hear their input on it. As it seems ubuntu is making Unity the default window manager, I better give them a heads up about the issue ASAP. All the people ive learned linux over the years, they have loved the "mouse focus" feature and other neat features that is pretty common in the world of *nix compared to Windows. | 22:40 |

| ohsix | Rockj: while that may be true, you can only make the case for yourself; not use these untold number of people to seemingly firm up your position | 22:45 |
| swatto | phibxr, how would i go about doing that? shall i cancel this upgrade tool thing then? | 22:46 |
| lcb | maxflax, sorry, i have visitors here. try going to recovery again (SHIFT | - select the 2nd kernel option from the top = recovery mode | go to the end of the new menu and select "root prompt" and type ' sudo dpkg --configure -a ' see if that helps. | 22:46 |

| tauntaun | OK, I've figured out how to copy a track from CD to Rhythmbox's Music folder. Now how do I get it into my iPod? | 22:57 |

| Soothsayer | lcb: tried it on 10.10 too.. used to not format.. this time it formatted to ext4.. but the installer crashed | 22:57 |
| cache_surplus | ActionParsnip: that should answer that | 22:57 |
| tauntaun | (...I've tried a number of things, none of which work.) | 22:57 |
| ohsix | lucas: and instaling the proprietary nvidia drivers involves a lot of ugly, you can't generally have both; but there are a bunch of python scripts that try and pick the right one to use | 22:57 |
| lcb | Soothsayer, what utility are you using to format? | 22:57 |
| cache_surplus | ActionParsnip: furthermore, i have tried multiple os, cd's, burn speeds so forth... | 22:57 |

| wilbur_cobb | nine hour upgrade? mehehe, we gentoo users laugh at that | 23:00 |
| n3glv | meh, I just expect that when it's sensing a cd with newer version and offering to upgrade, that it would do it from CD media | 23:00 |

| toto654 | why you all talk about gnome3 but its unity | 23:00 |
| cache_surplus | i have the right os | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | computergeeksjw: add the bootoption: modulename.blacklist=1 | 23:01 |
| ohsix | lucas: the proprietary drivers are decidedly not nice, it's probably a situation you'll have to live with if you use them | 23:01 |
| n3glv | computergeeksjw: interrupt grub loader, init=0 | 23:01 |
| n3glv | ooops 1 | 23:01 |
| n3glv | if u want networking, init=3 | 23:01 |
| ohsix | lucas: nouveau ships with natty, maybe you can get by without any proprietary drivers | 23:01 |

| strigoi66 | Help please, need wifi driver for natty on acer aspire 5000 laptop I have tried the following( http://paste.ubuntu.com/600975 ) | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: try setting the sata to ide mode, look in BIOS for options | 23:02 |
| lucas | ohsix: till maverick I made a script that copied or removed an xorg.config in the case there was an nvidia driver | 23:02 |
| ohsix | gross | 23:02 |
| lucas | ohsix: Now I see xorg.config got obsolete | 23:02 |
| cache_surplus | ok | 23:02 |
| rgr | its not obsolete at all | 23:02 |
| ohsix | it was obsolete then | 23:02 |
| AaeRohn | anyone who can help with scanner issue that's not being occupied with somoene else at the moment?... My scanner (MFC-6490CW) will not work with Simple Scan, or Xsane Image Scanner, even though I have all the drivers installed... this is part of my income, so I need the scanner to work | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas: its not, if one exists it will be obeyed | 23:02 |
| cache_surplus | ActionParsnip: ok, ill try that... that might be it.. | 23:02 |
| Neosano | sudo apt-get install firefox will install firefox 4 or 3? | 23:03 |
| ohsix | you can still put configuration options in an xorg.conf but you shouldn't want or have to; if something is broke it's probably a bug | 23:03 |
| shane4ubuntu1 | ok, on movie player (totem) the right arrow key used to advance 1min and the left went backwards 10 or 30 seconds, they don't work anymore????? | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: if you also try the boot option: noacpi it may help | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Neosano: which release ? | 23:03 |
| rgr | obsix : there are loads of bugs. | 23:03 |
| Neosano | ActionParsnip, I'm on 11.04 | 23:03 |

| ohsix | rgr: i'm confident you're filing them instead of just complaining about them | 23:03 |
| testbe | i bought a new pc | 23:03 |
| n3glv | strigoi66: you try lspci or dmesg|more to find out the manufacturer of the wifi? | 23:03 |
| testbe | and i want install ubuntu on | 23:03 |
| Caly | hi folks | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Neosano: its in a default install so isn't required to be ran | 23:04 |

| ninjai | just came from beta, fresh install of 11.04. I get a weird scale icon in the bottom right corner of some windows (google chrome), and sometimes a blue triangle in the top left corner when I use unity. WTF? | 23:04 |
| testbe | yes and | 23:04 |
| Neosano | ActionParsnip, haha. well I'm on lubuntu. :D ok thx | 23:04 |
| rgr | ohsix: You would be correct on the former. Stop misleading people. There are oodles of cases where an xorf.conf is required. It is not true to say its obsolete. | 23:04 |
| strigoi66 | n3glv: no, will try now . | 23:04 |
| ohsix | rgr: the bugs are cases where people need to do workarounds, the default should work | 23:04 |
| lucas | ActionParsnip: Believe me, it worked... It was scripted to do a delete during bootup, or to copy a customized xorg.config.nvidia in it's place | 23:04 |
| testbe | i dont want to use unity or gnome 3 | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Neosano: I see, nice.Lubuntu kicks ass | 23:04 |
| rgr | ohsix: this is simply not true. | 23:04 |
| ohsix | rgr: if you need one, you are doing something wrong, full stop | 23:04 |
| Rockj | AaeRohn: is it a usb scanner? open up a terminal, type dmesg , take note of latest "timestamp" on the last entry. Plug in your scanner and type dmesg again, does it seems to register and be handed of to any device? | 23:04 |
| rgr | ohsix: then you dont know what youre talking about. | 23:04 |
| Neosano | ActionParsnip, yeah, especially the last version :> | 23:04 |
| testbe | i dont want to use unity or gnome 3 | 23:04 |
| Caly | i updated to 11.04 today, and it totally fucked up my system, no it won't even boot from CD =/ | 23:04 |
| === al3x is now known as al3x-afk | ||
| ohsix | rgr: i do, sorry to break it to you | 23:05 |
| rgr | xorg.conf contains a lot more than nvidia info and xrandr doesnt work on many cards. | 23:05 |
| computergeeksjw | ActionParsnip: how do I add that? | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | testbe: gnome3 isn't part of ubuntu default. You can boot to traditional desktop if you don't like unity | 23:05 |
| testbe | okaz | 23:05 |
| ohsix | rgr: you'll notice that the manual pages for the xorg drivers are still there so you can add workarounds in exceptional situations | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoption | computergeeksjw | 23:05 |
| ubottu | computergeeksjw: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 23:05 |
| daniel__ | i dont know whats wrong i had wifi before the upgrade but now i have no wifi (10.10 - 11.04) it doesnt evan glow the little led light that says wifi | 23:05 |
| rgr | and if you set up multiple mointor then the nvidia settings writes to xorg.cof still. You're talking through your arse. | 23:05 |
| ohsix | rgr: you say "many", but it's just nvidia's proprietary driver re: xrandr | 23:05 |
| OY1R | can anyone help me fix this boot up problem, i cannot boot Ubuntu 10.10 > http://paste.ubuntu.com/600969/ | 23:05 |
| testbe | actionParsnip: do you know if you can limit the desktops to 1 | 23:05 |
| AaeRohn | Rockj: that's a long list >.> *starts looking through for the scanner* | 23:05 |
| testbe | in unity | 23:05 |
| n3glv | testbe: at user prompt screen click user, then select in text at bottom of screen, ubuntu desktop | 23:05 |
| rgr | Look, I use use nvidia for years on multi monitor. I know you're wrong. | 23:05 |
| Caly | daniel__: seems i'm not talone then... | 23:05 |
| ohsix | rgr: that is an exceptional case with the proprietary nvidia driver, and that's nvidias problem, complain to them | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | testbe: sure, in ccsm | 23:06 |
| ardchoille | rgr , ohsix Can you take that to another channel please? | 23:06 |

| rgr | ohsix: it is the users problem. | 23:06 |
| ohsix | rgr: that's great, you know nvidia's driver is awful; good on you | 23:06 |
| ohsix | rgr: users have nouveau and xrandr | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: works great here :) | 23:06 |
| testbe | actionParsnip: then i thing i like unitz | 23:06 |
| cache_surplus | ActionParsnip: ok, no sata option, also, at boot i press <C> to force boot cdrom, xp splash still loads... | 23:06 |
| daniel__ | Caly, why would they make an update that goes backwards theres no up about this blows im using my phone to tether right now ... | 23:06 |
| arand | OY1R: What kind of filesystem setup do you have? | 23:06 |
| testbe | my problem always if i maximed an window | 23:06 |
| testbe | it was on another desktop | 23:06 |
| Rockj | AaeRohn: just look at the botton, "dmesg" shows you system messages (important ones basically) , I wanted you to type it once before you plugged in the scanner just to notice what has already been printed, then a second time after you have plugged it in. That way you could easily see what is new messages ;-) | 23:06 |
| alishah | exit | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: did you try the boot option? | 23:06 |
| daniel__ | i dont know whats wrong i had wifi before the upgrade but now i have no wifi (10.10 - 11.04) it doesnt evan glow the little led light that says wifi | 23:06 |
| Caly | daniel__: i'm using Trisquel on another computer... | 23:06 |
| testbe | actionParsnip: then i thing i like unity | 23:07 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: multiple monitors & static config? | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: could try booting usb instead | 23:07 |
| testbe | it was on an other desktop | 23:07 |
| OY1R | Arachon, it's the 10.10 default i think it's ext4 | 23:07 |
| Maxud | Hello I am force installing 32 bit driver for printer on 64 bit system, and I get many dependence errors, what I need to install | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: only got one monitor for 4 PCs | 23:07 |
| testbe | my problem always if i maximed an window | 23:07 |
| rgr | lucas: bottom line is that xorg.conf is NOT obsolete. There are cases where you can get by without one. Its still a transition time. Idiots saying "blame nvidia" are on a moral crusade and not one to actually help you. | 23:07 |
| cache_surplus | ActionParsnip: no usb option | 23:07 |
| Soothsayer | 11.04 installed this time.. looks like some issue with ext4 | 23:07 |
| OY1R | arand, , it's the 10.10 default i think it's ext4 | 23:07 |
| testbe | it was on an other desktop | 23:07 |
| daniel__ | Caly, we shouldnt have to lol its not like were playing with a beta why did we lose our wifi ? | 23:07 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: then you don't get the pleasure of what we're talking about | 23:07 |
| lucas | c'mon guys I'll accept nouveau made some good progress, but it's way slower than the prop thingy | 23:07 |
| arand | OY1R: Try reinstalling grub. | 23:07 |
| ohsix | rgr: you're on a moral crusade my friend | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: I use xorg.conf, yes | 23:07 |
| ohsix | lucas: indeed, but now it's in wide use | 23:07 |

| cache_surplus | ActionParsnip: i am wondering if i need to make a usb 1.0/1.1 boot disk and try that... maybe it will show up as a HD | 23:07 |
| Caly | daniel__: that's not all i lost, i cant even boot up | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: no, it works well | 23:07 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: my condolences | 23:07 |
| daniel__ | i dont know whats wrong i had wifi before the upgrade but now i have no wifi (10.10 - 11.04) it doesnt evan glow the little led light that says wifi | 23:07 |
| rgr | lucas: nouveau is garbage compared to the ndiai one. Look up using sgfxi for your nvidia setup. | 23:08 |
| daniel__ | Caly, why whats wrong with that | 23:08 |
| cache_surplus | n3glv: i tried usb install first before cd, usb first then cd always for me | 23:08 |
| Caly | i do get the ubuntu boot screen for a ew seconds when i turn it of... =( | 23:08 |
| testbe | ActionParsnip, do you think, in 11.10 is still an gnome 2 _ | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: the xorg.cof file is older than ubuntu, it works well so I use it :) | 23:08 |
| cache_surplus | im wondering if i should try a usb 1.0 flash drive, since this an oldddd laptop | 23:08 |
| ohsix | rgr: nvidia is garbage because it doesn't do xrandr 1.2+ | 23:08 |
| Caly | i just get a bunch of test / terminal boot sequence stuff | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | testbe: it is | 23:08 |
| testbe | ok | 23:08 |
| ohsix | rgr: but one is free and can be improved | 23:08 |
| jon_gee | hey guys any of you experience this error after 11.04 install? "fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed" | 23:08 |
| n3glv | cache_surplus: on some pc I have to go into the boot options page (f-10 or 12) to see the cdrom as bootable | 23:08 |
| ninjai | can you change the 'shortcuts' in the unity menu? | 23:08 |
| rgr | ActionParsnip: ohsix is talking nonsense. In many many many cases you need an xorg.conf. It is NOT obsolete : end of story. | 23:08 |
| jeff__ | can someone help me with a question about compiz | 23:09 |
| cache_surplus | i need a tool set of disks/usbs/1.0/2.0 it seems to have any luck with installing ubuntu on any box sighs... | 23:09 |
| daniel__ | so is ubuntu 11.04 not done yet and should i have wated to download it ? because i have no wifi at all | 23:09 |
| ohsix | rgr: in many EXCEPTIONAL cases, you may need one | 23:09 |
| cache_surplus | n3glv: im done with the basics, i need the work around | 23:09 |
| lucas | rgr: that's correct about nvidia. If nouveau comes that far, I will surely use it... After all I am an avid open-source fan too, but if something works good I have to accept it | 23:09 |
| Soothsayer | is it possible to virtualize my dual-bootable Windows 7 within Ubuntu ? | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rgr: i know its not obsolete. preeching to the choir dude | 23:09 |
| cache_surplus | F2 | 23:09 |
| Maxud | Hello I am force installing 32 bit driver for printer on 64 bit system, and I get many dependence errors, what I need to install | 23:09 |
| Caly | and i fet a fail message from "*Stopping automatic crash report generation | 23:09 |
| Soothsayer | so I don't have to restart to go back to windows | 23:09 |
| n3glv | cache_surplus: might need to use the alternate cd | 23:09 |
| vivid | rgr, thats correct, not having one does not suffice for specialized video setups | 23:09 |
| ohsix | rgr: but you don't want one if you aren't in an exceptional situation, it's highly higly contraindicated | 23:09 |
| rgr | Ah ok, I cant stand people misleading others in a help channel as he is doing. | 23:09 |
| AaeRohn | RockJ: okaaay... did so... but how is knowing what th emessages say help me get the scanner working? | 23:09 |
| jon_gee | any one get this error after 11.04 install " hey guys any of you experience this error after 11.04 install? "fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed"" | 23:09 |
| cache_surplus | n3glv: nope, been there done that,, your right, but im past that stage | 23:09 |
| shane4ubuntu1 | no one know of totem? I can't even drag the slider to go forward or backward on a file, very odd, is that a bug? | 23:09 |
| AndrewEMT | Ok, have tried everything I know here... the NVidia driver still come up activated but not currently in use under the additional drivers app | 23:09 |
| n3glv | cache_surplus: make sure there is nothing that's 'protecting' your boot sector | 23:09 |
| rgr | lucas: sane as. I write code for FSF but I use what works. | 23:09 |
| daniel__ | does anyone here know anything about the reason why internet wouldnt work if i had it before the update and dont know | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Maxud: you will need to pull down the deb for the deb, extract the file and copy .so file to /usr/lib32 | 23:10 |
| cache_surplus | this is the second laptop i have had an issue with the past month for a customer | 23:10 |
| Rockj | AaeRohn: paste the info here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 23:10 |
| rgr | daniel__: ipv6 possibly. | 23:10 |
| jeff__ | is compiz disabled when you install ubuntu with the Wibi installer | 23:10 |
| cache_surplus | n3glv: have you used freebsd? that wouldnt even allow me to load it | 23:10 |
| ohsix | rgr: if you're literally talking about an xorg.conf being loaded and read, you're right; it still does that | 23:10 |
| jon_gee | any one get this error after 11.04 install " hey guys any of you experience this error after 11.04 install? "fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed"" | 23:10 |
| daniel__ | rgr, whats that ? | 23:10 |
| coreire | Hey, I'm having a little trouble with grub. I have Ubuntu 11.04, Windows 7, and Mandriva 2010.2 installed. I installed ubuntu last and installed the bootloader along with it. When I choose Windows 7 from the menu the system immediately reboots. I've tried the system tools on the Windows 7 disc and it says it can't find any problem with the windows installation. Any ideas on what I should do? Thanks | 23:10 |
| Caly | ehrmm... is 11.04 a really fubar update? | 23:10 |
| rgr | daniel__: google | 23:10 |
| cache_surplus | im pretty sure this is a bios hardware issue or something proprietary | 23:10 |
| n3glv | cache_surplus: last freebsd I used was 2.2.2 | 23:10 |
| n3glv | ;-p | 23:10 |
| ohsix | rgr: i thought you were just talking about being on a help channel | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | jeff__: if the default packages can give 3d accelleration then compiz will be used | 23:11 |
| cache_surplus | n3glv: well,,, its improved since then lol | 23:11 |

| AaeRohn | Rockj: ok, now what? | 23:12 |
| cache_surplus | just a heads up, the last box i did, i even did a zero the drive with a maxtor 4.0 disk,,, that did not fix the issue | 23:12 |

| Rockj | AaeRohn: paste the link here so I can take a quick look. | 23:13 |

| Rockj | AaeRohn: by the looks of it, it seems to regonize your printer/scanner as a usb storage disc, interessting. Let me do some research about your scanner | 23:16 |

| Mac_Weber | I want to switch from apache2 to apache2-mpm-worker. If I do 'apt-get remove apache2' then install apache2-mpm-worker will it keep the old configuration? (such as vhosts) | 23:16 |
| truepurple | n3glv: I can't make heads or tales of what is in synaptic package manager, but I can't find any tomboy notes anyway | 23:16 |
| AaeRohn | Rockj: alright | 23:16 |
| Rockj | AaeRohn: while im searching, you might want to see if the instructions in this forum post helps you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195552 | 23:17 |
| aj00200 | Mac_Weber: I'm not sure, but you could always make a copy just in case | 23:17 |
| n3glv | truepurple: synaptic lists all the software on the pc, and can download/install more from the repository system | 23:17 |
| klunky999 | im with problems with ubuntu and windows 7 grub loading already posted here http://askubuntu.com/questions/38201/grub-problem-with-windows-7 , if anyone can help would be awsome \o | 23:17 |
| Caly | is there some way i can fore a safe start something, and reverse this fubar upgrade? | 23:17 |
| truepurple | n3glv: Scratch that, found it, now what? | 23:17 |
| n3glv | it's like a super version of the ubuntu software thingy | 23:17 |

| Karen_m | does upgrading to 11.04 break anything? | 23:17 |
| Mac_Weber | aj00200: what folders shall I copy? | 23:17 |
| n3glv | hit reload first truepurple | 23:17 |
| syn3rgy | ohsix true. I use ccsm extensively. I really need the 3D cube to work with the 3D windows due to the fact that I have 6 VM running all at once. Seems the not even Gnome will work with the cube now? Is this correct? | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Caly: run: sudo apt-get -f install | 23:17 |
| giampaolo | after installing 11.04 google-chrome no longer restore last closed session. Any idea? | 23:17 |
| Caly | Karen_m: i'd say hell yeah | 23:17 |
| Caly | ActionParsnip: need a promp first... | 23:18 |
| aj00200 | Mac_Weber: I don't know. I figured you knew which files you needed to save. | 23:18 |
| Karen_m | caly, why is that? | 23:18 |
| Karen_m | so skip 11.04 for now? | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Caly: boot to root recovery mode, or chroot from livecd | 23:18 |
| ohsix | syn3rgy: it should, compiz changed but not to that degree | 23:18 |

| truepurple | n3glv: Mark for reinstallation? My saved notes should still be there, right? | 23:18 |
| Soothsayer | Karen_m: ye | 23:18 |
| aj00200 | Karen_m: I guess Unity is just a matter of personal preference. If you like it, you keep it, but you can always switch back to Gnome, even on 11.04 | 23:18 |
| n3glv | umm, yeah, think so | 23:19 |
| jon_gee | hey guys any of you experience this error during installation of new 11.04? "fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed"" | 23:19 |
| ohsix | syn3rgy: you'll just need to set it up again as compiz changed from .8 to .9 and while theres a settings migrator, it does not migrate a lot of things, and .9 has all new settings | 23:19 |
| Soothsayer | Karen_m: I JUST experienced an upgrade issue | 23:19 |

| n3glv | truepurple: I think so | 23:19 |
| tjiggi_fo | Karen_m, try it on a live CD first | 23:19 |

| Karen_m | 10.10 sucked for my laptop, it would not use my wireless properly! I wonder if 11.04 will work :) | 23:19 |
| syn3rgy | ohsix I guess I just need some time. Seems not to long ago that anybody that was not lynx, bitchX etc was just "blinky" junk. | 23:19 |
| n3glv | truepurple: may want to browse your dir, see if you can find files that u want to save | 23:19 |
| Soothsayer | Karen_m: and plus, the download rate for the packages is really slow, so wait for a few days maybe? | 23:19 |

| Rockj | AaeRohn: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#MFC-6490CW is some .deb packages you could download. But there is also some brother-* packages in ubuntu's repositories but Im unsure which one fits your scanner/printer hm. | 23:20 |
| n3glv | BEGGING EVEN | 23:20 |
| stittel | Hi! If I try to install the package "nvidia-96" on 11.04, Synaptic wants to remove the X server. What's going wrong there? | 23:20 |
| ohsix | Rockj: re: usb devices showing up as storage, they often do that now, and the disk mode contains drivers, then the drivers tell it to switch to the actual device; linux does that too, but it needs to know about the device to switch its mode, usb-modeswitch has a database of them, but this new device may need adding | 23:20 |
| Caly | as did i, as did daniel | 23:20 |
| syn3rgy | n3glv what question is that? | 23:20 |
| cache_surplus | how can i tell if i have a 1.0 or 2.0 usb stick plugged in? whats the command | 23:20 |
| syn3rgy | n3glv what question is that =P | 23:21 |
| truepurple | n3glv: I did that, but it still doesn't seem to be installed, do I need to reload? | 23:21 |
| n3glv | his recursive thing | 23:21 |
| Kevin` | n3glv: probably need to give them a link to a 'how to ask good questions' page | 23:21 |
| klunky999 | anyone can help me about grub with ubuntu and windows 7 please ?? im desesperate | 23:21 |
| n3glv | truepurple: wondering if just the shortcut is missing | 23:21 |
| computergeeksjw | ActionParsnip: what was the boot option you suggested about module blacklist | 23:21 |
| ohsix | stittel: -96 uses the old server abi and nvidia said they're not going to be updating them, so it conflicts with the server with the new abi | 23:21 |
| klunky999 | http://askubuntu.com/questions/38201/grub-problem-with-windows-7 | 23:21 |
| Caly | klunky999: furmat c: | 23:21 |
| AaeRohn | Rockj: that's the printer driver I installed, there's also a scanner driver for my MFC, and both are installed, and it still doesnt work | 23:21 |
| Caly | halps with windws issues | 23:21 |
| klunky999 | Caly: ... im looking for solutions... really ... | 23:21 |
| ActionParsnip | computergeeksjw: modulename.blacklist=1 | 23:21 |
| KNUBBIG | Caly: be patient | 23:21 |
| Caly | hehe | 23:22 |
| truepurple | n3glv: Well when I try to add it to my panel, its not listed as a option | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | computergeeksjw: you can blacklist whatever you want | 23:22 |
| syn3rgy | klunky999 windows will over write grub. Use a VM or install it first | 23:22 |
| cache_surplus | wow this room is way to busy,,, l8 | 23:22 |
| ohsix | AaeRohn: if it only shows up as a usb drive, it needs to be added to the modeswitch database so it can be told to act like the actual device | 23:22 |
| KNUBBIG | klunky999: just tell your problem and we'll se who can help you | 23:22 |
| AaeRohn | Rockj: printer works perfectly, scanner doesnt | 23:22 |
| Kevin` | klunky999: you want to fix grub after installing windows second? | 23:22 |
| stittel | ohsix: If it can't be made working, why is "nvidia-96" even available as a package? I mean, this is a fresh default installation without any additional repos. | 23:22 |
| n3glv | truepurple: if u know the app name u could try launching it from command line (terminal) | 23:22 |
| daniel_ | would some one be bale to help me find out why my wifi wont work the 11.04 update after it was already working in 10.10 | 23:23 |
| ohsix | stittel: it does work, it just conflicts with the only server api available, so yea ... heh | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | AaeRohn: did you install the deb I gave? | 23:23 |
| klunky999 | no, i had windows 7 installed, everything perfect, now i installed ubuntu 11.04 on a diferent partition, but same disk, ... when i log on grub now, i cant use windows, it just goes back to grub | 23:23 |
| AaeRohn | ohsix: do I still need to if it half-works? printer part of it works fine, the scanner part is what I'm having trouble with | 23:23 |
| n3glv | daniel_: may be missing a propriatary driver | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | daniel_: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network | 23:23 |
| syn3rgy | Oh SNAP one thing I hated with GDM (Gnome) was that I had to recompile it to work with Multiseating. Will Unity Multiseat?????? | 23:23 |
| truepurple | n3glv: I wouldn't know how to do that, how do i search for a file? | 23:23 |
| ohsix | stittel: ask nvidia to support the new abi in older drivers, iirc they've already refused; you might have to live with an older release or nouveau | 23:23 |
| stittel | ohsix: What's the purpose of installing nvidia-96, when I don't have an X server after that? :) | 23:23 |
| n3glv | truepurple: ask google about a program called 'slocate' | 23:23 |
| Kevin` | klunky999: what's the entry for windows? | 23:23 |
| klunky999 | how i check that Kevin` ? | 23:24 |
| Caly | ActionParsnip: how do i boot to root recovery mode? | 23:24 |
| n3glv | it can search the hard drive for a file name | 23:24 |
| Kevin` | klunky999: pastebin it since it's probably a few lines | 23:24 |
| Rockj | AaeRohn: so only scanner doesn't work? Are you in the scanner group? Check by typing "groups <your_username>" in the termianl to check your groups. | 23:24 |
| AaeRohn | ActionParsnip: I've had both printer and scanner drivers installed for a few days now | 23:24 |
| tully- | perl -e '$_="aeC ya rnco acIfp ucae,sr s";$_.=$1,print$2while s/(..)(.)//;' |sed 's/,/\n/ | 23:24 |
| stittel | ohsix: Well, I can understand why it's not supported anymore. But in that case there should be no nvidia-96 package in the repos. | 23:24 |
| Kevin` | klunky999: /boot/grub/grub.cfg, or is it .conf | 23:24 |
| klunky999 | ok | 23:24 |
| ohsix | stittel: good question, but that's the conflict on the package, has been for a long time; there just hasn't been a new server until natty | 23:24 |
| klunky999 | just a min man | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Caly: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root | 23:24 |
| === Lorthirk`ZNC is now known as Lorthirk | ||

| daniel_ | ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/601015/ | 23:24 |
| Rockj | AaeRohn: sudo adduser <your_username> scanner should put you in the scanner group at least, that might give you the correct/enough permissions for the scanner program to detect your device maybe? | 23:24 |
| coolkid25 | Can somebody please tell me how to fix Ubuntu? | 23:24 |
| ohsix | stittel: you could probably report a bug and have it removed for natty | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | AaeRohn: tried a few scanning apps? | 23:24 |
| KNUBBIG | coolkid25: what's your problem? | 23:25 |
| tully- | coolkid25, might help if you said the problem | 23:25 |
| AaeRohn | Rockj: checked, and nothing says scanner or printer... I am the only user on this computer | 23:25 |
| klunky999 | Kevin`: no i choosed the option run windows 7 with ubuntu together | 23:25 |
| ohsix | AaeRohn: ah no idea, i was reading into it something you hadn't said; my bad | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | daniel_: sudo lshw -C network the C is capitalized | 23:25 |
| ninjai | i cant remember where i changed this before... but i need to remap F10 (as it pulls down menus from sys tray), where can i do this? | 23:25 |
| [snake] | Can I use different languages (in this case hebrew, which must go right to left) in the terminal? | 23:25 |

| stittel | ohsix: Well, thanks anyways. | 23:25 |
| truepurple | n3glv: So ubuntu doesn't come with a file search option? | 23:25 |
| coolkid25 | tully-: Ubuntu won't boot, when I choose ubuntu in the boot menu, all I get is some kind of GRUB command prompt. | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | AaeRohn: hmm, are there any bugs logged? | 23:25 |
| n3glv | truepurple: u need to do updatedb first | 23:25 |

| n3glv | truepurple: then locate tomboy | 23:26 |

| tully- | coolkid25, you do an update, fresh install, any recent changes? | 23:26 |

| arch_is_awesome | I have dwd+rw-tools | 23:26 |
| AaeRohn | Rockj: no scanner group | 23:26 |

| AaeRohn | ActionParsnip: only in the Xsane, "Invalid arguement" | 23:26 |
| Kevin` | [snake]: normally yes, but files are named what they are named, it could be.. interesting | 23:26 |

The only way I can start or fix it is to restart the whole pc...it's frustrating :| Video card: ATI Radeon with the drivers installed, Ubuntu: 11.04 | 23:33 |
| KNUBBIG | alteregoa: also depends on the load of the server, your internet connection, your hdd speed and your CPU speed | 23:33 |
| coolkid25 | nott anymore aj00200 | 23:33 |
| daniel_ | woul anyone know why my internet isnt working it worked before i updated and it isnt evan showing the led wifi light on evan if i toggle fn + F2 i looked at available drivers and it says the wirless one is being used idk how that it since i dont have wifi | 23:33 |

| mdmkolbe | In Unity the panel at the top (i.e. the thing holding the ubuntu button, the app menu and the indicators), keeps disappearing and leaving behind a black area of the screen whenever I start tweaking settings (e.g. in CCSM). It remains that way until I restart. Is there a better way than restarting the machine to get it back (e.g. restart or give a kick to some "panel" process)? | 23:34 |
| karth | anyone know how to disable compiz font scaling? | 23:34 |
| alteregoa | and the cpu speed is aprox 300'000 miles per second | 23:34 |
| aj00200 | coolkid25: if you restart to you get an error code again? This is key to debugging it | 23:34 |
| Caly | ActionParsnip: well, i wasnt looking to fix my wifi, i was looking to reverse the 11.04 upgrade that fucked up my boot, i don't get to GUI.. | 23:34 |

| klunky999 | Kevin`: but dont, i just click windows 7 to load up and ig ends again in grub manager ... | 23:34 |

| Rockj | AaeRohn: while I read some documentation, try this while waiting for the **** of it: sudo adduser <username_on_your_pc> scanner then logout and login again so it starts a new session.(reboot shouldnt be needed afaik aslong as you restart the session) See if xsane detects your scanner then. | 23:36 |

| Rockj | AaeRohn: actually, try scanimage -L in the terminal . | 23:37 |
| Kevin` | klunky999: normally i'd do that in kvm so you can get a screenshot, but that's not easy to explain | 23:37 |
| klunky999 | Kevin`: but you mean when i load grub ? | 23:37 |
| Acriax | I was playing around with compiz and somehow managed to disable the top bar and all gui elements except the icons on the screen when in Unity mode. Many keyborard-shortcuts don't work either, like bringing up the console. Help me, how can I fix this? | 23:37 |

| aj00200 | coolkid25: sorry, I am not familiar with the terminal. Maybe try using a live CD to copy your files to an external source or even Ubuntu One if you have enough space on it and then restore them after a resinstall | 23:40 |

| ActionParsnip | Mahjongg: I'd wait a while then, wait for the early bugs to be knockedout | 23:51 |
| Mahjongg | ActionParsnip, like around a month's time? | 23:51 |
| Rockj | AaeRohn: scanimage -L gives? mind pasting that line too? does it give you "brother3:bus7;dev1" as device? | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | work: if you run: lsmod what is output, use a pastebin to host the text | 23:52 |
| karth | Mahjongg: yeah, I'd give it a few weeks at the least | 23:52 |
| kwtm | relik: Okay, please try ls ./*.mpg which is actually the correct way to list it. | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Mahjongg: sounds reasonable | 23:52 |
| mdmkolbe | coz_: no, but my guess is that log out and back in will also fix it. I'd just like to avoid having to stop and restart all my apps. | 23:52 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip: Ok thanks, on to my next subject, getting a good ATI driver for my 6850, can you help? | 23:52 |
| Rockj | AaeRohn: try the same command again but put the brother3:bus7;dev1 in quotes like "brother3:bus7;dev1" after -d argument. | 23:52 |
| DimaV | Hello. I just did an upgrad from 10.10 server to 11.04, but i screwed up grub/booting in the process. i have LVM on the system. can i get help restoring the boot? i have a live cd on hand. | 23:52 |
| bizerklurker | how do I get my launcher icons to stop reverting to default upon every login in unity? | 23:52 |
| Caly | dark-matter: yo, i got a half-solution at least... | 23:52 |
| kwtm | relik: Another way is ls -- *mpg for those who don't like the ./*mpg | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: check the hardware app. I don't use ati chips | 23:52 |
| relik | ok | 23:52 |
| dark-matter | Caly: what did you do? | 23:52 |
| relik | i'll try | 23:53 |
| Caly | dark-matter: hold shift at boot, choos earlier linux version | 23:53 |
| coz_ | mdmkolbe, well if you restart x properly with ctrl+alt+F1,,, log in ,, then sudo restart gdm ,,, that would be the best way because it shuts down gnome and apps properly | 23:53 |
| dark-matter | good suggestion | 23:53 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip: I don't know what you mean by "check the hardware app" | 23:53 |
| coolkid25 | ActionParsnip: What would I do to boot to the CD? Just turn on my pc to it? Also, would I have to reinstall and lose all my data? | 23:53 |
| BrixSat | ow do i install a prism isl3886 pci card on ubuntu? | 23:53 |
| kwtm | relik: By the way, this is expected behaviour in bash. While the novice may not expect it, it hardly counts as a bug. Quite a number of things in bash would break if this were not the behaviour. | 23:53 |

| Caly | dark-matter: now it boots to GUI at least... | 23:53 |
| howard | Question about upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04: I have a 10.10 system, ran update manager and pressed the Upgrade button. It gives me the Release Notes, and when I hit Upgrade again, it waits for a couple of seconds and then droppped me back to Update Manager. My other laptop upgraded just fine. | 23:53 |
| Mahjongg | ActionParsnip, actually I recently upgraded to maverick from LTS, and I am punching the walls that I made that decision. LTS was perfect... Now I am having sleep probelms... Would natty be better with respect to sleep wake up stuff? | 23:53 |
| coz_ | work, I dont know,, exactly,,, it should be wacom but I am not sure | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: in system -> administration. Instead of asking almost immediately, try a little research so you find out maybe for yourself.You will be moreautonomous | 23:53 |
| coz_ | if it is not wacom we are in trouble :) | 23:54 |
| lollab | anybody get this finger print scanner works on ubuntu ? HP 8440p Elitebook | 23:54 |

| DimaV | anyone? | 23:54 |
| kwtm | relik: If it really bothers you, you can rename the files. So you could say mv "- this movie has a weird name -.mpg" "Name_without_weird_characters.mpg" | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Mahjongg: you fixed what wasn't broken. On production systems I would always use the LTS | 23:54 |

| Rockj | AaeRohn: you had this scanner working earlier did you? What version of ubuntu did you run then? | 23:54 |
| coz_ | DimaV, I didnt see your post to respond sorry | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | coolkid25: you need the livecd which is what I was telling you before, remember | 23:54 |

| kwtm | relik: Now you know that ls * is wrong. :) | 23:55 |

| Rockj | AaeRohn: I see. Anyway, Ubuntu is a good choice anyway so lets see if we can figure this out ;-) | 23:58 |
| coz_ | work, open a termina. type gpoint-device-settings | 23:58 |
| coz_ | work, I believe there is a setting for "touchfreeze" in there | 23:58 |
| dark-matter | Caly: Not yet | 23:58 |
| coz_ | brb nature call :) | 23:58 |
| dark-matter | Caly: it is still loading | 23:58 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip: What about system adminstration? | 23:58 |
| Caly | ok | 23:58 |
| AaeRohn | Rockj: I'll be back, I have to run something around the block | 23:58 |
| zero_ | If I wana run perl script as service . how to do it ? I mean I have a vps which runs ubuntu server and I want to run a perl script without stoping even tho I exit from the terminal session | 23:58 |
| KNUBBIG | tomatobros: you should enable the proprietary drivers in the hardware admin section and then it should download it without you requiring to get it from amd.com but | 23:59 |
| Rockj | AaeRohn: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/brother-mfc-240c-intermittent-scanning-issue-632801/ , looks like someone else have had this invalid argument thing popping up on your type of scanners. Try turn your scanner off and on again and see if it gives a better result. | 23:59 |
| KNUBBIG | !ati > tomatobros | 23:59 |
| ubottu | tomatobros, please see my private message | 23:59 |
