| FanControl | acicula: acicula: thanks for the percistancy! i suck at all this advanced stuff, but i simply have followed these instructions: "http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/howto/aspireone", regarding the section 'fan control'. will check dmesg now! | 00:00 |

| Jackslaps | Aight uh... is it possible to change the colors around? | 00:00 |
| Jackslaps | Or does it rely on the colors I choose for the terminal? | 00:00 |
| Gnea | PaidSupport: gotcha, well Linux by itself is open source, it's free, and the support, particularly for the kernel, is free. there are people who take care of the kernel setup for Ubuntu, and then there are the people who take care of the kernel itself. | 00:00 |
| FanControl | acicula: oh, and that link says it's loadable, yes! | 00:00 |
| shcherbak | Jackslaps: Sure, try: /j #irssi | 00:00 |
| crus | I have an ubuntu server and the normal MOTD text started doubling up.. i removed the /etc/motd file.. how do i regenerate it? | 00:00 |
| acicula | FanControl, did you custom build the kernel module or? | 00:00 |
| Jackslaps | Alright, thanks | 00:00 |
| acicula | crus, there is a script that generates it | 00:00 |
| acicula | crus, lets see if i can find it | 00:01 |
| crus | acicula: excellent! which script would that be? | 00:01 |
| Omega | dios_mio: What is the problem exactly? | 00:01 |

| Gnea | PaidSupport: unless you're some sort of corporate entity that requires a business-only solution where money is more important to getting a certain job than treating people with respect, then yes, perhaps paying conanical would be a better way to approach the situation. | 00:02 |

| PaidSupport | Gnea: Gateway NV78. Ran 10.10 with 2.6.35 for a few days, all was good. Upgraded to 11.04 with 2.6.38 and I no longer have a backlight | 00:06 |
| Chipzzz | ocx: try "apt-cache search sqlite3"... maybe you don't have the repo available | 00:06 |

| === djfksld is now known as Captainkrtek | ||

| === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC | ||
| PaidSupport | acicula: Nope. Fn keys didn't work in 10.10 at all, but I had a backlight. After the upgrade I lose even that. | 00:09 |
| rcmaehl | just checking to see what the ubuntu ot channel was | 00:09 |
| sine_ | has anyone installed ubuntu with an ASUS G53J gaming laptop | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | PaidSupport: Can you see hte backlight while booted from the LiveCD? | 00:09 |
| Gnea | PaidSupport: I haven't tried 11.04 yet, but I'm willing to bet that there's something going on with it in the ACPI/Power Management settings... have you checked those? | 00:09 |
| rcmaehl | PaidSupport: did you install the package for FN key support | 00:10 |
| acicula | PaidSupport, are you saying the backlight is completely off, or just set really low | 00:10 |
| hiexpo | rcmaehl, #ubuntu-ot | 00:10 |
| acicula | PaidSupport, ie if its off you have to shine a light at your screen to make out anything at all | 00:10 |
| PaidSupport | acicula: I am positive the backlight is completly off. The only way to get it to work is with a nomodeset grub option, but that destroys my support for unity, and for anything over 1024x768 | 00:10 |
| hiexpo | maybe in power management | 00:11 |
| PaidSupport | rcmaehl: I did not. | 00:11 |
| mjn | ok...so, slowly getting the of unity... | 00:11 |
| escott | PaidSupport, also check /sys/class/backlight to see if it is recognized at kernel level | 00:12 |
| mjn | not as bad a i thought | 00:12 |
| PaidSupport | escott: after upgrading to 11.04 I lose /sys/class/backlight It isn't there | 00:12 |
| Jordan_U | PaidSupport: On nvidia hardware the nomodeset option should not change whether you can use Unity or not. | 00:12 |
| Gnea | rcmaehl: do you mean fnfxd? | 00:12 |
| escott | PaidSupport, well thats the real source of the trouble, can you boot the old kernel | 00:12 |
| === JoshDreamland is now known as NarkPvermars | ||
| PaidSupport | Jordan_U: Intel Mobile Express 4, not nvidia | 00:12 |

| hiexpo | hola Jordan_U | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | hiexpo: Hi. | 00:13 |
| PaidSupport | escott: after fresh installing I lost the old kernel. Only have 2.6.38 installed | 00:13 |
| ocx | i have put a process in sleep mode over ssh session1 , how can i take over the process over ssh session 2? | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | PaidSupport: Can you see hte backlight while booted from the LiveCD? | 00:13 |
| ocx | i cant see the job in session2 | 00:13 |
| === NarkPvermars is now known as NbskPvfsmbsr | ||
| escott | ocx, you would have to reparent the process, i don't think that is possible, you would have to have started it in something like screen | 00:14 |
| PaidSupport | Jordan_U: Haven't tried the liveCD. Though I do know it works with the alternate installer (up until I reboot). Lose backlight after grub | 00:14 |
| Gnea | PaidSupport: out of curiosity, is your name David? | 00:14 |
| PaidSupport | Gnea: Correct | 00:14 |
| Jordan_U | ocx: The only practical way to do that type of thing is to start the process in a screen session to begin with. | 00:14 |
| Jordan_U | !screen | ocx | 00:14 |
| ubottu | ocx: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 00:14 |

| * Gnea notes that actionparsnip tends to frequent this channel quite a bit | 00:16 | |
| Gnea | PaidSupport: I'm sure you still can, but keep in mind that doing so on a brand new release is not always the wisest decision... I'm still using 10.04, if that tells you anything | 00:17 |
| escott | PaidSupport, the fact that there is nothing in /sys/class/backlight means you will never get the backlight through userspace, i would try force installing the old kernel | 00:17 |
| === TheFckingPope is now known as LudwigVanFknBeth | ||
| PaidSupport | escott: sadly, as a very new user, I would have no idea where to begin | 00:17 |
| === LudwigVanFknBeth is now known as Alaska | ||
| Gnea | PaidSupport: I think escott maybe onto something there... do you still have the old kernels from the 10.10 install laying around? | 00:17 |
| escott | then you can see if there is maybe a module in lsmod on the old kernel not in the new kernel and going from there | 00:17 |
| ocx | i need a good pop connector for ubuntu any good ones? | 00:17 |
| === Alaska is now known as Hawaii | ||

| PaidSupport | escott: would installing the 10.10 iso be the easiest way to do that? | 00:18 |
| Gnea | PaidSupport: No offense, but I think unity is pure crap. ;) but, we'll see what we can do to get it working right... it seems to be less of a unity issue than it does an X configuration issue | 00:19 |
| escott | PaidSupport, if you wanted to drop down to 10.10 | 00:19 |
| escott | but it may be easier to just install the kernel | 00:19 |
| escott | PaidSupport, you had intel graphics? | 00:19 |
| jenkinSear | ocx: check out fetchmail | 00:19 |
| ocx | it does conflict with zimbra i think | 00:19 |
| PaidSupport | escott: intel graphics, yes. And sorry to be such a noob, but can unity run on the older kernel? | 00:19 |
| ocx | currently running zimbra | 00:19 |
| escott | PaidSupport, having intel graphics makes things easier | 00:20 |
| Gnea | PaidSupport: there's an easy way to check for the older kernel... when you reboot, bring up the grub menu before it boots the system and see how many are in the list | 00:20 |
| === NewYorkSucks is now known as JoshDreamland | ||
| escott | Gnea, he did a fresh install so he doesn't have those anymore | 00:20 |
| PaidSupport | Exactly. Just 2.6.38 right now | 00:20 |

| nawk | david8732, rats. There is a reason why I ask. B/c currently I have a multi-monitor using an nvidia card, due to current limitations I had to forgo compiz in order to get it working (as confirmed with the boys in #nvidia; it has to do with TwinView unable to support the rotation of individual screens) | 00:26 |
| WhitePelican | it works with Cheese | 00:26 |

| WhitePelican | I close cheese and try the skype test | 00:27 |
| Ziber | nawk: If you can get used to that (connected cubes) its still useful, imho | 00:27 |
| Gnea | WhitePelican: okay, but have you verified that cheese it NOT running when you try to launch skype? | 00:27 |
| kingofswords | erm just disabled compiz now i have big black bar across bottom of screen | 00:27 |
| kingofswords | will it go when i re-enable it? | 00:27 |

| WhitePelican | yes gnea | 00:27 |
| kingofswords | Gnea, you mean reboot? | 00:28 |
| escott | jenkinSear, is the kernel-ppa going to be the same as what was released with 10.10, and do you know what else might need to be grabbed with the kernel? | 00:28 |
| Gnea | WhitePelican: what error do you get from skype, exactly? are you expecting it to auto-detect the camera? | 00:28 |
| acicula | sweb, xubuntu 10.04 perhaps, or something specially trimmed like lubuntu | 00:28 |
| Gnea | kingofswords: no, logout, then login again | 00:28 |
| david8732 | I went into ccsm and screwed with compiz's settings. How do I get it so that Unity isnt crazy? | 00:28 |
| WhitePelican | i get no error, I just don't see anyhing on the test | 00:28 |

| sweb | ? | 00:29 |
| Gnea | WhitePelican: then check skype settings. where did you install skype from? | 00:29 |
| WhitePelican | yes I expect it to auto-detect the camera | 00:29 |
| jenkinSear | escott: sorry, not sure- but I'd expect that dpkg will trip up any dependencies | 00:29 |
| WhitePelican | medibuntu | 00:29 |
| WhitePelican | actually, check that | 00:29 |
| Gnea | WhitePelican: good answer (about medibuntu) | 00:29 |
| escott | jenkinSear, except we are planning to force install it... | 00:29 |
| WhitePelican | it was in the repoitory | 00:29 |
| PaidSupport | escott: ok, got that downloaded and copied to my linux partition. Is there a command to install it? | 00:29 |
| arand | escott: They'll need three packages rom mainline in total... right? | 00:29 |
| WhitePelican | so I guess it was from medibuntu | 00:29 |
| Gnea | WhitePelican: right, medibuntu becomes part of the repo | 00:29 |
| acicula | sweb, nah, ubuntu netbook is just normal ubuntu with a different gui, same minimum hardware reqs too | 00:29 |
| escott | well if you just apt-get install linux-image.*.deb that will install it | 00:30 |
| escott | hopefully | 00:30 |
| escott | :) | 00:30 |
| lcb | WhitePelican, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure skype_or_the_name_of_package | 00:30 |
| PaidSupport | escott: alrighty. Taking off to give this a shot. | 00:30 |
| escott | arand, im not sure, ive not actually forced down a kernel before | 00:30 |
| escott | he has intel graphics so that takes care of one potential problem | 00:30 |
| Gnea | sweb, acicula: netbook remix is a bit more than just a different gui, it's got some special modules for the kernel built to handle the hardware properly | 00:30 |

| acicula | Gnea, yes but thats not really relevant here, hes just wondering if it will use less ram, which it wont | 00:31 |
| arand | escott: Read the mainline kernel wiki, it is all described there, three packages are needed in total to install a new kernel.. | 00:31 |
| lcb | WhitePelican, see first on System Monitor if chesse or butter or whatever uses cam is working... because if cheese detects skype should | 00:31 |
| Gnea | escott, PaidSupport: don't you mean dpkg -i? | 00:31 |
| jeffrash | It worked fine me both 10.x versions | 00:31 |
| PaidSupport | ? | 00:31 |
| WhitePelican | lcb, it works fine in cheese | 00:31 |

| escott | just want to try forcing his natty kernel back to maverick to see if his backlight comes back | 00:32 |
| Gnea | acicula: good point, but using remix on an actual netbook may mean the difference between the system working out-of-the-box and not having everything working | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | escott: Yes. The mainline kernel ppa contains no Ubuntu specific patches. | 00:32 |
| arand | escott: Well, I assume so, since that would be the whole point.. | 00:32 |
| escott | PaidSupport, if you are still there then lets download something different :) | 00:32 |

| Gnea | acicula: no idea, it'd be a silly move if they did | 00:33 |
| escott | PaidSupport, there is a kernel ppa team that provides a mainline kernel (no patches) and we should try that but using the natty version so we need three things apparently im reading here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam | 00:34 |

| pericynthion | Summary: I was triple-booting OSX/Win7/Ubuntu 10.10 using rEFIt, and all was working pretty well. I did a distribution upgrade to 11.04, and now only OS X will boot. Choosing anything else from rEFIt gives a black screen with blinking cursor. | 00:36 |
| Jordan_U | Gnea: Try clicking on the link :) | 00:36 |
| escott | PaidSupport, then lets delete the previous download and download these instead | 00:37 |

| pericynthion | I've tried: reinstalling rEFIt, booting from livecd and reinstalling grub2, neither of which helped. To even get it to boot from the live cd I had to choose acpi=off | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | Gnea: That page should definitely be fixed though. Could you file a bug report? | 00:37 |

| pericynthion | Jordan_U: I'm not sure. How do I tell? | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | pericynthion: How did you re-install grub2? | 00:38 |
| PaidSupport | escott: Ok, have those all downloaded | 00:38 |
| escott | and then you can dpkg -i them | 00:38 |
| PaidSupport | so just type that in terminal when I'm in the right folder? | 00:38 |
| escott | PaidSupport, yes (but with sudo) | 00:39 |
| PaidSupport | can do | 00:39 |
| nawk | just one simple question, will unity work properly w/o compiz? (Or can I have a convenient way of disabling unity after install)? | 00:39 |
| pericynthion | Jordan_U: I mounted /dev/sda1, which is the ~200MB EFI partitition, to /mnt/root and /dev/sda5, which is the linux root partition, to /mnt, and then did grub-install —boot-partition=/mnt/root /dev/sda | 00:39 |

| Stameni | ubuntu 11.04 | 00:39 |
| pericynthion | Jordan_U: first time I tried that it complained about lack of a bios partition, or something along those lines involving blocklists, so I marked sda1 as grub/bios using gparted and then it installed | 00:40 |
| pericynthion | but no change in boot symptoms | 00:40 |
| lcb | nawk, or use Classic Desktop | 00:40 |
| hiexpo | nawk, i think it is | 00:40 |
| Jordan_U | pericynthion: Do not mark a partition as being a BIOS boot partition unless you want any data on that partition to be destroyed. | 00:41 |
| yunio | Does anyone know of a linux distro that has a better caps lock reaction time?? | 00:41 |
| escott | PaidSupport, when that is done try grep 2.6.39 /boot/grub/grub.cfg and see if the kernel is listed there. if not we need to run grub-mkconfig | 00:41 |

| Stameni | please, i need to save my work | 00:41 |
| pericynthion | ok - oops, I guess. I don't think anything important was on there, AFAIK it is just for EFI firmware updates | 00:41 |
| mikeconcepts | I just want to say thanks for a great distro 11.04 is awesome | 00:42 |
| pericynthion | should I have used a different grub-install command? | 00:42 |
| AMAG | Is there a version of that nvidia FAQ which applies to 11.04? I upgraded from 10.10 and I am having nothing but trouble. | 00:42 |
| hiexpo | AMAG, see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 00:43 |
| AMAG | hiexpo:I just read that, but I don't see an 11.04 section | 00:43 |
| Jordan_U | pericynthion: 1: Don't mount the EFI partition at all, we're not dealing with EFI in this case 2: grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot/ /dev/sda | 00:43 |
| hiexpo | AMAG, it does not matter click to see if your cardis in there | 00:43 |
| Jordan_U | pericynthion: You probably want to create a separate small partition for the BIOS boot partition though so that firmware upgrades still work. | 00:44 |
| AMAG | My card worked fine with 10.10. What I have now is that the driver is "green" or activated under Alternative Drivers (?) but that tool says "..is activated, but is not currently being used." | 00:44 |
| hiexpo | AMAG, it takes you to nvidia site | 00:44 |

| Chilaquiles | Gnea: what? | 00:46 |

| Jordan_U | pericynthion: The BIOS boot partition does not contain a filesystem, it cannot be mounted. | 00:47 |
| pericynthion | ok | 00:47 |
| drc | AMAG: Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what driver is actually being loaded and used...it's probably the correct nvidia driver...the "not being used" is not unusual in 11.04 | 00:47 |
| toad__ | well | 00:47 |
| toad__ | what the shit | 00:47 |
| toad__ | its so annoying | 00:47 |
| jenkinSear | toad__: check your screensavers setting, make sure "lock screen when screensaver is active" isn't checked | 00:47 |
| FloodBot3 | toad__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:47 |
| pericynthion | so /mnt/boot will exist as a part of my main root partition? | 00:47 |

| tjiggi_fo | Chilaquiles, downloads | 00:51 |
| Jordan_U | nawk: It is a partition where grub's core.img can be embedded on GPT partition tables. On msdos partition tables grub embeds itself between the mbr and first partition.

| PaidSupport | escott: saved the output from everything I did in case it was important | 00:53 |
| mr_orange | Chipzzz, how do i fix that or check that | 00:53 |
| escott | PaidSupport, well at least we know its not correct in the most recent upstream kernel | 00:53 |
| tjiggi_fo | then, if you downloaded it as "your_user_name" it should be in the downloads folder of your home directory | 00:53 |

| escott | PaidSupport, you could try any of these upstream kernels http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 00:54 |

| escott | i dont remember | 00:56 |
| acicula | Gnea, it may be that it green lights, but those keywords look like they came from smb.conf | 00:56 |
| PaidSupport | escott: could be 37, not sure. I know 10.10 was running 35 I think | 00:56 |
| escott | ok 35 then | 00:56 |
| Gnea | acicula: it's possible | 00:57 |
| acicula | Cairo|Mac, try purging samba and then installing samba again? | 00:57 |

| jukebox-zero | So I noticed today that ecryptfs appears to be eating half of my diskspace.

| Sicor | hello | 01:03 |
| litropy | acicula, yes | 01:03 |
| HyperShock | Stameni: and maybe you have unconfigured packages too, i had tons of them during the upgrade, as my upgrade failed. sudo dpkg --configure -a | 01:03 |
| chipmenk | what is samba 24? | 01:03 |
| jukebox-zero | escott, that's what I was hoping to hear. Thanks. | 01:03 |
| HyperShock | Stameni: then i ofcourse had to do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --fix-broken | 01:04 |
| litropy | acicula, and at that point, I'm going to install ... please hold | 01:04 |
| HyperShock | chipmenk: me thinks that is the ipv6 variety | 01:04 |
| Sicor | In unity, for some reason the top bar where the close, minimize, and the maximize button dissapears | 01:04 |
| Stameni | HyperShock, i had clean install | 01:04 |
| fisch246 | alright so upgraded to natty on the server... and now i can't read the text anymore... i upgraded by doing "do-release-upgrade" did i do something wrong? is there a way to fix this? | 01:04 |
| acicula | well they are just addon packages for the most part, so i dont see why you should run into problems | 01:04 |
| nikos719 | hi guys | 01:04 |

| litropy | acicula, alrighty thank you | 01:05 |
| Stameni | HyperShock, and freshly installed geany, and then i set system from the scratch | 01:05 |
| fisch246 | acicula: yes, i did not use SSH | 01:05 |
| Cairo|Mac | acicula: no, that doesn't fix it | 01:05 |
| Stameni | HyperShock, and freshly installed geany, and then i set system from the scratch | 01:05 |

| Sicor | All of the other distros work fine | 01:05 |

| Stameni | HyperShock, I did it | 01:06 |
| Cairo|Mac | unless they were automatically installed | 01:06 |
| nikos719 | I installed ubuntu 10.10 about 2 hours ago and everything went fine but the 11.04 upgrade was in update manager so I decided to upgrade my ubuntu but | 01:06 |

| nikos719 | my tablet stuck on boot about 15 minutes now | 01:06 |
| PaidSupport | escott: I am. trying to figure out what a header file is | 01:06 |
| lcb | WhitePelican, did you get skype recognizing the cam? | 01:06 |
| PaidSupport | escott: Only found just the one .deb at that link | 01:07 |
| WhitePelican | lcb, yes | 01:07 |
| Sicor | idk, i have a gts 250, and my video is messed up | 01:07 |
| escott | PaidSupport, i think you could skip the header file... just make sure to install it if this works | 01:07 |
| nikos719 | should i still wait for it or should i reformat my tablet? | 01:07 |
| lcb | WhitePelican, what did you do? restart? | 01:07 |
| Stameni | HyperShock, thank you for help and info, I think that that needs to be fixed, it is some kind of bug if geany is docked in the unity's toolbar | 01:07 |
| hiexpo | nikos719, 10.04 | 01:07 |
| Cairo|Mac | acicula: i dont think so | 01:07 |
| Cairo|Mac | not unless they were installed automatically | 01:07 |
| escott | PaidSupport, some things may not work correctly without the headers but you should know immediately (as soon as the kernel gets booted) if it detects the backlight | 01:07 |
| nikos719 | hiexpo what do you mean? | 01:08 |
| WhitePelican | no, I remembered I had a script that referenced a couple of v4l liraries and then it runs skype | 01:08 |
| diglett | thanks for the help guys, networks been kinda spotty, have any idea on a good guide for manually setting the network preferences? | 01:08 |
| escott | PaidSupport, and the header files are not architecture specific so there is only one file (no amd64 vs i386) | 01:08 |
| nikos719 | please help me guys | 01:08 |
| PaidSupport | escott: ok, I'll be back | 01:08 |

| Sicor | What tablet do you have | 01:09 |
| WhitePelican | but now, no sytem tray icon, and it forgets my password, lcb | 01:09 |
| acicula | Cairo|Mac, Well the errors are related to the configuration file, either the purging didnt reinstall the maintainers version or the maintainers version is corrupt. Any reason why you are using samba4 instead of the samba default? | 01:09 |
| Stameni | HyperShock, eaven if i set that geany is nod in louncher by default, it still doesn't minimize it there ... | 01:09 |
| lcb | WhitePelican, i just installed and looks ok... | 01:09 |
| Cairo|Mac | acicula: i assumed that 11.04 installed that by default... | 01:09 |
| Stameni | HyperShock, there is some problem with my system alone, probably | 01:10 |
| Cairo|Mac | if i purge samba4 again and install samba would that wrok? | 01:10 |
| HyperShock | Stameni: considering we're all just like you, please goto launchpad.net and report the bug so that we may all benefit when some volunteer programmer makes a patch. :) | 01:10 |
| acicula | Cairo|Mac, nope, you have to explicitly enable samba4 | 01:10 |
| acicula | Cairo|Mac, its worth a try | 01:10 |
| WhitePelican | lcb, from medibuntu or the skype webite? | 01:10 |
| WhitePelican | website* | 01:10 |
| Cairo|Mac | acicula: oh | 01:10 |
| HyperShock | Stameni: although my geany is behaving correctly. | 01:10 |
| Cairo|Mac | acicula: ill try that then | 01:10 |
| Stameni | HyperShock, are you rrunning 64 or 42 bit ? | 01:10 |

| lcb | Sicor, about the ram.. you could tweak it, kill some processes you don't need. about 11.04 itself, with no unity, doesn't require too much, i mean, much less. | 01:17 |
| ipwntech | FCUK112 They all say none | 01:17 |

| uRock | binoy, honestly I have never used ubuntuone, but I was hoping for a usable error message | 01:24 |
| escott | PaidSupport, you'll want to track down the patch that turns on your backlight by trying a few kernels and finding what ones work and then talking to the kernel team | 01:24 |
| Chipzzz | WindowNumOne: Are you installing it in the correct partition? | 01:24 |
| escott | otherwise you are stuck on the old kernel forever | 01:24 |

| escott | PaidSupport, you've done it enough you see how its not that bad, just a bit of downloading and testing. also please update your launchpad bug (i think someone said that was yours) | 01:27 |
| isarl | aphexcoil: Nothing but problems since I have. I'm about to decide to back up ~ and then wipe it and do a fresh install. | 01:27 |

| isarl | aphexcoil: I guess my advice is only tangentially related to your question, seeing as my drivers are so borked that I haven't even been able to use Unity yet. But my advice is that if you're upgrading, do a fresh install. | 01:28 |
| PaidSupport | escott: thanks again! | 01:28 |
| aphexcoil | I upgraded to Beta using the switch to show alpha and beta releases ... hopefully I can go from beta to the real release without any hitches | 01:28 |
| aphexcoil | are you guys recommending a fresh install? | 01:28 |
| === PolarPanda is now known as JChrist | ||
| isarl | aphexcoil: I am, but I don't speak for the rest of #ubuntu. | 01:28 |
| aphexcoil | all my files are on dropbox, so it isn't a hassle to do a fresh install | 01:29 |
| Steela | But I was going to install windows first then, ubuntu new one | 01:29 |
| binoy | somebody help me with ubuntuone | 01:29 |
| dios_mio | aphexcoil, only difference in a fresh install is that it makes your grub screen purple lol | 01:29 |
| aphexcoil | hahaha | 01:29 |
| uRock | purple grub screen, awesome | 01:29 |

| acicula | aphexcoil, i've not needed to do that | 01:30 |
| WindowNumOne | If it wasn't for Ubuntu Software Center I think I would install OpenSuSe | 01:30 |
| kusanagi | how to disable the snap to middle grid? | 01:30 |
| aphexcoil | I'm using a PHC edition of the current kernal so that I can undervolt my laptop's CPU ... I'm assuming I'll lose that ability until they can compile something for 11.04 | 01:30 |
| ner0x | Also, any way to go back to firefox 3.6? Selenium isn't compatible with 4.* | 01:30 |
| isarl | The other difference, if you're "lucky", is that your drivers are borked and your system freezes. | 01:30 |
| aphexcoil | the undervolting really helps keep the laptop cool | 01:30 |
| Chipzzz | lol | 01:30 |
| Cairo|Mac | acicula: but i still get the inverted color and text screen in a normal boot | 01:30 |
| mr-rich | Hello, is ANYBODY else having problems with dbus-deamon sucking up 30%+ cpu usage? | 01:30 |
| binoy | somebody help me with ubuntuone | 01:30 |
| rockets | Through messing with my system too much in 11.04, I managed to lose my clock | 01:31 |
| LeDD | if the ndiswrapper im using insnt installing when i bring it over to linux by usb is there any other options? i dont have internet working on ubuntu | 01:31 |
| rockets | Any ideas how I can get it back? | 01:31 |
| rockets | E.g. there is no clock in the upper right of my screen. I'm using the unity desktop | 01:31 |
| aphexcoil | why can't we add devices to the bar at the top or bottom in unity? I miss the CPU monitors and weather, etc. | 01:31 |
| kusanagi | aphexcoil, just login without unity | 01:32 |
| WindowNumOne | I need to go back to the OLD ubuntu, that why I need GRUB I saw that option, new Ubuntu not allowing me to burn ISO's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 01:32 |
| aphexcoil | that defeats the purpose of having Unity | 01:32 |
| WindowNumOne | what do i do | 01:32 |
| aphexcoil | I'd like Unity to include those things | 01:32 |
| uRock | Ubuntu without Unity is like a car with no fuel | 01:32 |
| fisix | how am i supposed to switch windows easily in unity? | 01:32 |
| kusanagi | ubuntu without unity is like a car WITH fuel | 01:32 |
| rockets | Nobody makes you use unity, just pick the ubuntu classic desktop and stfu | 01:32 |
| jbag | in unity, open Time & Date, go to the clock tab and check the box "show a clock in menu bar" | 01:32 |
| aphexcoil | lol kusanagi | 01:32 |
| uRock | WindowNumOne, hit the shift key while booting to get the grub menu | 01:33 |
| === altin_ is now known as altin | ||
| rockets | jbag, thanks, I managed to remove that package, but clicking on it opened up its page in ubuntu software center <3 | 01:33 |
| uRock | kusanagi, change is inevitable | 01:33 |
| aphexcoil | I'm just suggesting an enhancement for unity, Rockets | 01:33 |
| kusanagi | unity is not ready yet... forcing it to users is the dumbest move ive seen from ubuntu | 01:33 |
| rockets | aphexcoil, I know, I was talking to uRock mainly | 01:33 |
| aphexcoil | oh | 01:33 |
| Ziber | Running 10.10, my laptop fan seems to be a bit louder than when I ran windows | 01:33 |
| rockets | aphexcoil, but I agree that that sort of defeats the purpose of unity dude. | 01:33 |
| WindowNumOne | What if it wont let me go back to old version ubuntu, and what if old version doesn't allow me to burn ISO's either for some reason? | 01:33 |
| jbag | Has anyone else come across File roller issues in 11.04 with CBR files; they open fine, but cannot extract file contents? | 01:34 |
| calamari | kusanagi: nah dude.. this happened all the time.. one release you couldn't even edit the menu | 01:34 |
| aphexcoil | you can still use Gnome in 11.04 | 01:34 |
| aeon-ltd | kusanagi: wait till you start using ground up distros, you start to hate that distros bundle anything you have to remove anyway :) | 01:34 |
| uRock | rockets, what is your issue? | 01:34 |
| kusanagi | uRock, unity is cool idea, but is not ready yet... and hope you dont think it is... | 01:34 |
| everton | Boa noite | 01:34 |
| rockets | jbag, I don't see that option now that it's installed :( | 01:34 |
| passthru | Boa noite | 01:35 |
| uRock | kusanagi, it is ready, if you want stable, then stick with LTSes | 01:35 |
| kusanagi | unity should had been turned on as a test by whoever who wants it... and dont make it default :/ | 01:35 |
| aphexcoil | Unity is ready for some people ... it's going to take time to adapt to it like any new release | 01:35 |
| jamband | how can i revert back to the desktop in 10.10? please | 01:35 |
| aphexcoil | !classic | 01:35 |
| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. | 01:35 |
| WindowNumOne | DO you think having the new version of ubuntu is what causing me not able to burn ISO? should I go back? | 01:35 |
| aphexcoil | no Window | 01:35 |
| everton | estou com problema na minha placa wirelles no 11.04 | 01:35 |
| uRock | rockets, why did you tell me to stfu? I think it was uncalled ofr | 01:35 |
| maxjezy | hello, is there an msn client that works with CAM? | 01:36 |
| passthru | Unity rulez :) | 01:36 |
| aphexcoil | you should be able to burn ISOs in the new version | 01:36 |
| passthru | i'm using the Unity 2D version | 01:36 |
| rockets | uRock, I apologize good sir. | 01:36 |
| xeodox | How do I stop dovecot? I did "service dovecot stop" , and it returns stop: Unknown instance: | 01:36 |
| xeodox | . But it's still in "ps aux" | 01:36 |
| Calif | aphexcoil, hello again lol | 01:36 |
| Barzogh | maxjezy: empathy works or try amsn | 01:36 |
| passthru | and it appears to be lightweight even in a legacy pc | 01:36 |
| aphexcoil | hey Calif! | 01:36 |
| aphexcoil | I had to log into a different server | 01:36 |
| kusanagi | uRock, you sound like an apple fanboy lol | 01:36 |
| aphexcoil | the other one was too quiet | 01:36 |
| passthru | everton, try #ubuntu-br | 01:36 |
| Calif | I was wondering what happened | 01:36 |
| Calif | freenodes awesome for that | 01:36 |
| aphexcoil | lol at apple fanboy | 01:36 |
| uRock | kusanagi, I have never touched an Aplle | 01:36 |
| litropy | Any idea why Youtube video plays just fine, but hulu video is choppy? | 01:36 |
| uRock | *Apple | 01:37 |
| yerac | hi | 01:37 |
| aphexcoil | I loved Apple back in the IIgs era | 01:37 |
| kusanagi | uRock, well, change apple for ubuntu... and you can hang out with them | 01:37 |
| yerac | any1here? | 01:37 |
| yerac | need help | 01:37 |
| WindowNumOne | DO you think having the new version of ubuntu is what causing me not able to burn ISO? should I go back? | 01:37 |
| uRock | kusanagi, old gnome looks too much like XP | 01:37 |
| wipmonkey | I read "!Classic" as "Not Classic" | 01:37 |
| aphexcoil | Why can't you burn an ISO, Window? | 01:37 |
| uRock | kusanagi, why you trolling? | 01:37 |
| aphexcoil | instead of repeating the same thing over and over, why don't you tell us what the problem is? | 01:37 |
| kellnola | so has the unity hate died down since thursday? | 01:37 |
| WindowNumOne | It just say ERROR or something. I can get it go through simulation but thats it | 01:37 |
| WindowNumOne | It sucks | 01:38 |
| yerac | i have enabled one click option to open files, but how to just select it? ubuntu 10.10 | 01:38 |
| passthru | couse trolls like to be fed | 01:38 |
| passthru | don't feed the trolls :) | 01:38 |
| aphexcoil | are you trying this under Unity or Gnome, Window? | 01:38 |
| kusanagi | uRock, im not against unity, but it has big bugs yet to make it default... they should had put it as optional... | 01:38 |
| aphexcoil | it is optional | 01:38 |
| aphexcoil | it's default, but optional | 01:38 |
| kusanagi | uRock, i actually enter to make a question, but nobody answer it | 01:38 |
| kusanagi | how to disable the snap to middle grid? | 01:38 |
| uRock | kusanagi, if they never implement it, then the bugs will never get reported and fixed | 01:38 |
| kellnola | it shocks me the number of users that think they "have" to use GNOME with ubuntu | 01:39 |
| isarl | uRock: the better way is to do propper debugging and testing before releasing to your users. | 01:39 |
| Flannel | kusanagi: Can you please take the unity-as-default discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. | 01:39 |
| everton | Thank you. I'll try. | 01:39 |
| WindowNumOne | I tried 10 different ISO with 10 different DVDS, and brand but it did let me burn a CD once WinXP but I got a blue screen starting up | 01:39 |
| Cairo|Mac | does anyone know what causes this error? | 01:39 |
| uRock | isarl, people who want rock solid stability, really should stick to LTSes | 01:39 |
| Cairo|Mac | http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/9358/img3507sk.jpg | 01:39 |
| aphexcoil | we used to always debug in production ... Like Bill O'Reilly said, "F it, we'll do it live!" | 01:39 |
| WindowNumOne | Ima shoot myself if I can get windows back | 01:40 |
| isarl | uRock: People who are willing to deal with bugs in production should be using alpha releases. | 01:40 |
| yerac | no1 knows how to do that? ubuntu users.... | 01:40 |
| kusanagi | sure... Flannel, i was actually making a question :/ I just answered a guy to turn off unity to get back panel icons... ^^ | 01:40 |
| isarl | uRock: the occasional bug is obviously impossible to prevent, but the fallout from Unity is probably a pretty good indication that it wasn't ready yet. | 01:40 |
| aphexcoil | I've been using software since Dos 1.0 ... everyone knows that when you install the latest and greatest, you're part of the debug team | 01:40 |
| isarl | uRock: business as usual for Ubuntu, though. | 01:40 |

| uRock | isarl, I have had zero bugs and issues with Unity | 01:41 |
| isarl | uRock: You are one data point. | 01:41 |
| aphexcoil | every time a new version of anything comes out, people are going to bitch about something | 01:41 |
| Flannel | kusanagi: I'm aware of that, and appreciate it. Support is here, other discussions belong about #ubuntu-offotpic. Thanks. | 01:41 |
| Chipzzz | WindowNumOne: I've read that if you plan to dual boot with a window$ partition, you must install window$ first or anticipate great difficulties | 01:41 |
| amrinz | I am still using LTS :-), but I already finish Natty Release Party yesterday | 01:41 |
| isarl | uRock: Here's another one for you: when I upgraded, I could barely boot. | 01:41 |
| uRock | isarl, clean installs for the win | 01:41 |
| isarl | uRock: average our experiences and it's still pretty terrible. that's why I used the term "fallout" earlier. | 01:41 |
| amrinz | kusanagi: upgrading is option | 01:41 |
| exchgr | is that true, what that spambot said? | 01:41 |
| Flannel | exchgr: No. | 01:42 |
| exchgr | good stuff | 01:42 |
| cached | Is the point of that floodbot just to have us spam #freenode, or is it that someone will impersonate an admin on there and try to steal passwords? | 01:42 |
| isarl | uRock: it's not just me that's had issues with the new version. it seems to me that there's been more than usual. | 01:42 |
| Flannel | uRock, isarl: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. | 01:42 |
| uRock | Flannel, NP 8) | 01:42 |
| Steela | I swear I die if I cant burn a dvd | 01:42 |
| kusanagi | anybody knows how to dissable snap to grid? | 01:42 |
| isarl | Flannel: I'd rather just stop talking about it. But thanks. | 01:42 |
| Flannel | isarl: That works too, thanks. | 01:43 |
| aphexcoil | I have a question. Where can I find a list of minimum hardware requirements for Unity 3D? | 01:43 |
| isarl | Anybody have any idea how to get nouveau working properly on my system? | 01:43 |
| everton | bye | 01:43 |
| kallisti5 | any reports of ubuntu 11.04 not booting completely from the install cd? i get an ubuntu boot background and a cursor... thats it. | 01:43 |
| amrinz | kallisti5: maybe the boot media corrupted? | 01:44 |
| kallisti5 | amrinz: just burnt it | 01:44 |
| kallisti5 | on new cd-r media | 01:44 |
| yerac | is there a way just to select file when one click to open is enabled ubuntu 10.10???????????????????????????????? | 01:44 |
| kallisti5 | *sigh* who's idea was it to disable ctl+alt+f1-f8 ? | 01:44 |
| amrinz | kallisti5:I already burnt 50 cd for release party yesterday, and it did well | 01:44 |
| yerac | please answer, it is annoying | 01:45 |
| eoss | ive got some kind of flash playing right now event hough mozilla was closed | 01:45 |
| kusanagi | anybody knows how the effect of maximizing a window when moving next to the border is called so i can google it? | 01:45 |
| eoss | how i kill the process | 01:45 |
| Lesterwood | why is vlc so glitchy in ubuntu 11.4 | 01:45 |
| amrinz | except for toshiba netbook (i dont remember the series) | 01:45 |
| Lesterwood | it is glitchier than anything i have ever used | 01:45 |
| KM0201 | Lesterwood, because 11.4 doesn't exist most likely | 01:45 |
| kallisti5 | amrinz: hmm.. ok will try to reburn | 01:45 |
| isarl | KM0201: That was really, really helpful. Good work. | 01:45 |
| KM0201 | isarl, i strive | 01:45 |
| isarl | KM0201: :P | 01:46 |
| yerac | to kill proces go to shell, type top, remember process id and type kill <id> | 01:46 |
| Cairo|Mac | does anyone know how to fix this? | 01:46 |
| Cairo|Mac | http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/9358/img3507sk.jpg | 01:46 |
| Cairo|Mac | or at least a pointer in the right direction | 01:46 |
| kellnola | yerac, you can kill from top | 01:46 |
| isarl | Cairo|Mac: Not sure what you mean. What's wrong with that screenshot? | 01:46 |
| yerac | how to kill from top? | 01:46 |
| rockets | Is there a way to make sure all the base install ubuntu packages are really there? I've already made sure to install ubuntu-desktop but that's not enough. | 01:46 |
| Cairo|Mac | isarl: starting load fallback graphics devices [fail] | 01:47 |
| nit-wit | yerac, install htop for that | 01:47 |
| Cairo|Mac | and it just stalls at hwere it is | 01:47 |
| Chipzzz | htop is better than top... lets you choose the kill signal | 01:47 |
| uRock | +1 for htop | 01:47 |
| Cairo|Mac | so it doesnt get past "checking battery state" | 01:47 |
| isarl | Cairo|Mac: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues? or can you not even ctrl-alt-f1 into a VT? | 01:47 |
| Steela | Oh Shoot | 01:47 |
| Cairo|Mac | yeah i can | 01:47 |
| isarl | Cairo|Mac: that might give you some clues, then. but aside from that, I don't know much about it. | 01:48 |
| Cairo|Mac | whats the name of hte command line text editer again? | 01:48 |
| uRock | steela, you have a question? | 01:48 |
| Cairo|Mac | isarl: ok, thanks | 01:48 |
| isarl | Cairo|Mac: there are many. I use vim; you're probably looking for nano. | 01:48 |
| Chipzzz | nano, vi, vim... | 01:48 |
| Cairo|Mac | yeah thats it thanks | 01:48 |
| yerac | or start processor (widget) | 01:48 |
| Steela | How do I COMPLETLELY get rid of firefox.. I downloaded an extension and played with about: section and its so messed up I can even type in URL's.. | 01:48 |
| Cairo|Mac | Stameni: sudo apt-get purge firefox | 01:49 |
| hiexpo | why use nano and vi | 01:49 |
| Steela | When I remove and reinstall it, it is just the same | 01:49 |
| Chipzzz | "--purge" | 01:49 |
| Cairo|Mac | hiexpo: i dont have access to the graphica lstuff atm | 01:49 |
| jenkinSear | steela: rm -r ~/.mozilla in a shell | 01:49 |
| rockets | No way to do it :( | 01:50 |
| uRock | Steela, open Synaptic Package Manager and select to completely remove Firefox | 01:50 |
| hiexpo | !firefox | 01:50 |
| ubottu | firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox4 | 01:50 |
| isarl | hiexpo: I like vim because it uses only the keyboard, and has a lot of good mechanisms for navigating text and manipulating it. Many of my reasons would be repeated by users of emacs. | 01:50 |
| jenkinSear | uRock, doesn't that leave the crap in the home directory? | 01:50 |
| Cairo|Mac | isarl: it says it can't find any screens... lol | 01:51 |
| Steela | jenkinsear I remeoved .mozilla myself but just going around and deleting files and crap but it fugged it up more | 01:51 |
| uRock | no, it shouldn't. complete removal is supposed to remove that | 01:51 |
| uRock | jenkinSear, your way is faster and easier | 01:51 |
| isarl | Cairo|Mac: That's probably not good! If you copy it into a pastebin somewhere, somebody else might be able to help you, but I'm not very familiar with Xorg, sorry. =X | 01:51 |
| Maahes | what's a good web frontend for a caldav server? | 01:51 |
| Cairo|Mac | isarl: ok np | 01:52 |
| Cairo|Mac | not sure if i could pastebing it using nano and lynx... | 01:52 |
| Cairo|Mac | or w/e that text browser is called | 01:52 |
| kallisti5 | amrinz: seems the unity interface isn't starting | 01:52 |
| Maahes | Cairo|Mac: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 01:52 |
| kallisti5 | amrinz: i started the cd on another system and it worked fine | 01:52 |
| isarl | Cairo|Mac: yeah, it's lynx. but you might be able to copy the file to another computer and pastebin it there. | 01:52 |
| Maahes | pastebinit should really be installed by default | 01:52 |
| Cairo|Mac | Maahes: thanks | 01:52 |
| isarl | Cairo|Mac: or, use Maahes suggestion..! | 01:53 |
| kallisti5 | i hear the ubuntu start up sound... then things just sit there | 01:53 |
| Maahes | and all you do is pastebinit file and it gives you a link | 01:53 |
| KM0201 | kalleth2, how much ram does that system have? | 01:53 |
| kallisti5 | will the live cd / unity fail if it is using a non-accelerated video driver? | 01:53 |
| Maahes | there's options too, but I've never really needed to use them ^_^ | 01:53 |
| ayrton | guys i got a stupid question, if i move something to the trash and delete it can i ever get it back? | 01:53 |
| === rockets is now known as zacharyalexstern | ||
| hiexpo | hmm | 01:54 |
| kallisti5 | KM0201: if you ment me... 5GB | 01:54 |
| KM0201 | kallisti5, a lot of times, yes.. it will not default to the 2d desktop... you can use the alt. cd | 01:54 |
| Maahes | also instead of lynx try: elinks, links2 or w3m | 01:54 |
| KM0201 | kallisti5, yeah, i did.. thank you | 01:54 |
| KM0201 | kallisti5, whats your graphics device? | 01:54 |
| kallisti5 | Ati radeon HD | 01:54 |
| kallisti5 | 4350 i think | 01:54 |
| Chipzzz | kallisti5: you can boot into a failsafe graphics mode that will work with anything for testing purposes | 01:55 |
| kallisti5 | k. is there any way to see syslogs or access a terminal? | 01:55 |
| kallisti5 | ctl+alt+fX would be *inifitely* useful atm | 01:55 |
| Cairo|Mac | www.paste.ubuntu.com/602066 | 01:55 |
| KM0201 | kallisti5, i'm really not sure.. but as said, you can try booting into the failsafe. | 01:55 |
| kallisti5 | k. | 01:55 |
| kallisti5 | thanks for the infos | 01:56 |
| XuMuK | kalleth2, sudo less /var/log/auth.log | 01:56 |
| KM0201 | kallisti5, i'd be really surprised if that ATI device supported the 3D desktop on the live CD. | 01:56 |
| jhay | Anyone else who sees their Global Menu/Status Menu freeze every once in a while? | 01:56 |
| Karen_mm | well done on the 11.04 and the wireless. My laptop is actually usable with ubuntu now!! where 10.10 it was not. Thanks a lot eh? | 01:56 |
| kallisti5 | KM0201: aren't radeon's pretty common? | 01:56 |
| Stameni | what ? <Cairo|Mac> Stameni: sudo apt-get purge firefox | 01:56 |
| KM0201 | kallisti5, yes, they are, but radeons linux support sucks. | 01:57 |
| KM0201 | always has | 01:57 |
| Cairo|Mac | Stameni: he was having trouble with firefox | 01:57 |

| Cairo | www.paste.ubuntu/602066 | 02:10 |

| Cairo | or | 02:10 |

| Jordan_U | nawk: "Installing" grub using the grub shell is grub legacy, and it only ever actually wrote to areas outside any filesystem. GRUB2 always uses grub-install which installs its modules to the directory specified in the --boot-directory= argument, or /boot if no argument is given, and creates a core.img with those modules needed to access /boot/ and embeds it. | 02:20 |
| Cairo|Mac | caio: i have a one letter different name :P | 02:20 |

| xangua | Hoyt: in the login screen, select 'classic desktop' | 02:22 |
| Silentmyst | yep, ok so i sudo cat, this is where its wierd - its not detecting middle thumb, but nor is it detecting scroll wheel left and right tilts, however btnx detected wheel left and right tilts | 02:23 |
| Hoyt | Good | 02:23 |
| calamari | Silentmyst: so you're seeing the gibberish when you push the buttons, except middle thumb? | 02:23 |
| HyperShock | soreau: put mouse in unity bar, touch bottom of screen so it scrolls all the way down fast, about 1 or 2 icons above the trash can, it says applications and folders, click that icon, in the new window in the upper right corner you can navigate to the other sections, or you can just use the search box at this point | 02:24 |
| Steela | This is what I got , rm: cannot remove ' /home/juz/,mozilla./firefox': Is a directory | 02:24 |
| Silentmyst | yes, but nothing for left and right wheel tilts either, yet btnx detects left and right tilts as buttons - wierd... | 02:24 |
| Chipzzz | Cairo: I'm not sure... I would start by removing any traces of the proprietary driver that may be present (although I don't see any mention of it in the log) & reinstalling the default drivers | 02:24 |
| xangua | Steela: because there is no ",mozilla." directory | 02:24 |

| calamari | Artarian: you're experiencing the new features lol | 02:28 |
| Chipzzz | (if memory serves) | 02:28 |
| HyperShock | Guest1224: in your ubuntu software center, you can find and remove open-office there or you can from shell do sudo apt-get remove open-office | 02:28 |
| nawk | Jordan_U in grub legacy, I was given the impression that when 'root (hdX, Y)' it installs the '/boot/' stuff into the filesystem on the partition. So, when you say that "it only ever actually wrote to areas outside any filesystem", I would think that "area outside of the fs" would be an area in the beginning of the partition, before the fs starts? | 02:28 |
| laterallink | a111, ulimits perhaps | 02:28 |
| HyperShock | soreau: yeah.... | 02:29 |
| Artarian | calamari, trust me i am ! lol nvidia and ATI graphic cards are just hell now | 02:29 |
| Jordan_U | nawk: Your impression was incorrect. | 02:29 |
| doc|home | killer_: most people use that or irssi (console based) | 02:29 |
| HyperShock | soreau: and then a strange thing starts to happen, this unity it grows on you like ringworm, only you are not scratching. | 02:29 |
| soreau | HyperShock: Way more to do just to see the menu than in gnome 2.0/maverick | 02:29 |
| nawk | Jordan_U Is my latter assumption somewhat closer to reality? | 02:29 |
| Rehan | jenkinSear: how would i reinstall my nvidia drivers? | 02:29 |
| HyperShock | soreau: for instance i've figure out how to cull my unity and reorganize it already | 02:29 |
| Jordan_U | nawk: No. | 02:29 |
| calamari | Artarian: but seriously.. that's why I'm running a frankenbuntu of kde3.5 and lucid | 02:30 |
| l1nuxman | why am I getting "apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}" when I run 'apache2 -S' ?? | 02:30 |
| HyperShock | soreau: yeah, cept you should put your commonly used items on the unity bar | 02:30 |
| killer_ | doc|home: are there addons for XChat? I can't put my finger on it but there is just a few things I don't like about it. | 02:30 |
| soreau | HyperShock: I just want an easy way to access the menu | 02:30 |

| doc|home | killer_: yep, haven't used many though | 02:30 |
| doc|home | back later | 02:30 |
| calamari | Silentmyst: k.. well that was my only idea. basically those should be showing whatever linux sees | 02:30 |
| Jordan_U | nawk: extN and most other linux filesystems only have one free sector at the beginning, not enough to embed enough code to read said filesystem and load the rest of your code from. Btrfs does have such an embedded area reserved though. | 02:31 |
| calamari | Silentmyst: however it's possible that the additional functions are in a different device as well that I don't know about | 02:31 |
| Silentmyst | darn | 02:31 |
| HyperShock | soreau: however you are missing other things too, for instance get your mouse off the unity, minimize your apps and check out that default menu to the right the unity ubuntu icon on the top panel, it's not there, hidden by default, but when you mouse over, well, and you can access system settings and places from it | 02:31 |
| Sonjaaa | isarl: what part of the upgrade fails when fresh install is fine? | 02:32 |

| MACscr | tripelb: photoshop cs5 runs pretty decent for me in wine. | 02:38 |
| Jordan_U | nawk: Nothing happens when you specify 'root (hdX,Y)', it's 'setup' that actually does the writing. If you don't already have the stage files in /boot/grub/ (on the filesystem specified by 'root (hdX,Y)') then setup will fail. | 02:38 |
| MACscr | ErezCohen: define "admin" | 02:39 |
| HyperShock | gonzalo: uh, duh, this is ubuntu channel, so please ask the question... :) | 02:39 |

| openbees | caio : GOT* | 02:43 |
| Silentmyst | gonzalo: are you running 11.04 now? | 02:43 |
| calamari | WindowNumOne: you need to grant your user account permission | 02:43 |
| gonzalo | Silentmyst: Yes | 02:43 |
| Rehan | Chipzzz: hmm ok so i see a nvidia, uvesafb, vesafb, and video. Does that mean I'm using proprietary or default? | 02:43 |
| WindowNumOne | To burn a dvd | 02:43 |
| WindowNumOne | how do i do that | 02:43 |
| laterallink | gonzalo, it could be looking for a diffrent version of libx11, you're running the ./configure with sudo or under root correct? | 02:43 |
| Silentmyst | try switching to ubuntu classic at log in and try to play with your program | 02:44 |
| ErezCohen | No one about my problem :-( | 02:44 |

| Chad__ | How do I make rsync back up Truecrypt files incrementally. As of now, it rewrites the file completely. | 02:45 |
| KM0201 | WindowNumOne: try gnomebaker, it's alwys burned ISO's just fine for me | 02:45 |
| caio | openbees : what msg?? | 02:45 |
| WindowNumOne | I tried that prog, it gives error im not sure if it says anything about not having permission | 02:45 |
| xangua | thauriswulfa: uninstall ubuntu-one | 02:45 |
| bth1202 | It still have problem during the job. What's the matter there? | 02:45 |
| litropy | is xorg.conf still here: etc/X11/xorg.conf ? Mine is empty ... | 02:45 |
| WindowNumOne | I tried that too KM0201 | 02:45 |
| KM0201 | WindowNumOne: if all those programs are failing, you have some other malfunction going on there | 02:45 |
| calamari | WindowNumOne: it's in your preferences or admin under users and groups | 02:45 |
| bth1202 | The error message was " package downloading time is expired" . | 02:45 |
| Viking667 | I seem to be having trouble with Unity a bit... I can't right-click on any of the panels on either of my monitors... as a result, I can't add indicators or remove them... nor can I figure out how to start them up. | 02:46 |
| Silentmyst | thauriswulfa: system settings > startup apps, just uncheck it and it won't load up any more | 02:46 |
| openbees | caio : ya i got login screen setting window ..but how can i change login theme using this window | 02:46 |
| calamari | WindowNumOne: there should be a cdrom group and you need to add your user to that group | 02:46 |
| WindowNumOne | I never had error until I updated to new ubuntu | 02:46 |
| Viking667 | In addition to that, (another problem) how do I persuade Ubuntu One that I actually _have_ an internet connection even though it swears black and blue I don't? | 02:46 |
| bth1202 | Is there any specific trouble in there, ubuntu mirrors? | 02:46 |
| HyperShock | Silentmyst: wow, seems to be no linux support for that mouse (directly). you might be on your own here unless someone else here is good at configuring mice with 6 buttons or more. anyone? | 02:47 |
| Chipzzz | Rehan: I don't have a machine with an nVidia card to check right now but I think you need the nouveau driver... here's the step-by-step from Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 02:47 |
| gonzalo | laterallink: I tried "sudo ./configure" but it gives me the same message: "libX11 MUST be installed" | 02:47 |
| openbees | caio : ????? | 02:47 |
| ChapterNZ | Viking667: I'm having troubles with the indicators too! Sorry I can't help ya though.. | 02:47 |
| Silentmyst | lol yea thats what i was thinking, its just not supported at all, btnx and sudo cat doesn't see it, dunno what to do /sigh | 02:48 |
| ChapterNZ | Anyone else having issues with pidgin not showing in the notification area after a dist-upgrade? (I've reinstalled pidgin-libnotify, whitelisted 'all' in gsettings.... any pointers anyone? | 02:48 |
| nawk | Jordan_U: that would mean grub legacy needs to know how to read the from the filesystem on (hdX, Y) | 02:48 |
| dijonyummy | whats the diff between installing a package with apt-get, aptitude, synaptic? which one will install icons in gnome besides ubuntu software center | 02:48 |
| calamari | dijonyummy: usually not much difference | 02:48 |
| xangua | ChapterNZ: it does show on the envelope | 02:48 |
| caio | openbees : Have one title called theme | 02:48 |
| Jordan_U | nawk: Yes. | 02:48 |
| calamari | dijonyummy: they might resolve dependencies differenly | 02:48 |
| caio | openbees : sorry | 02:48 |
| HyperShock | gonzalo: why are you trying to install a program called ROOT? | 02:48 |
| dijonyummy | i want to script installing all the packages i use, for stuff like example... 11.04 | 02:48 |
| ChapterNZ | xangua: I've removed the icon | 02:48 |
| gizmobay | I had problems booting so I removed the nvidia drivers and I'm using Nouveau drivers but it only works in classic mode. Am I missing something? Glxgears works. | 02:49 |
| ChapterNZ | xangua: indicator-messages is the package i removed (I hate the little envelope) | 02:49 |
| gonzalo | HyperShock: I work in the Faculty of Physics of the Catholic University of Chile, and we work with data from the LHC particle accelerator. I need ROOT to process that data | 02:49 |
| gizmobay | 11.04 that is | 02:49 |
| HyperShock | gonzalo: regardless, you need to sudo apt-get install build-essentials if you plan do any sort of serious compiling and installing. | 02:49 |
| dijonyummy | i dont think apt-get installs icons | 02:49 |
| bth1202 | Hello? is there anyone who can support me with the install problem on the newest computer? | 02:50 |
| gonzalo | HyperShock: ok, I'll install that | 02:50 |
| calamari | dijonyummy: to get a list of packages in some sort of installed or not fully uninstalled state, use dpkg -l | 02:50 |
| WindowNumOne | :calamari i'm sorry but I still dont really understand | 02:50 |
| mr-rich | Hello, is ANYBODY else having problems with dbus-deamon sucking up 30%+ cpu usage? | 02:50 |

| calamari | WindowNumOne: sorry, I'm not running Gnome.. ask for help on how to get to the Users and Groups settings | 02:50 |
| caio | openbees : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WXoU3O0vgs | 02:50 |
| litropy | Is it normal for xorg.conf to be empty? | 02:51 |
| WindowNumOne | Ok I was under user and groups | 02:51 |
| WindowNumOne | What was I supposed to do there | 02:51 |
| gonzalo | HyperShock: E: Unable to locate package build-essentials | 02:51 |
| calamari | WindowNumOne: then go to groups | 02:51 |
| HyperShock | gonzalo: lol, but ROOT has so many connations, like becoming "root" and the "root" directory and the "root" sector of the driver. Personally I think making a problem called "root" is asking for it. | 02:51 |
| bth1202 | DVI-D recognition trouble during the first step of installing. | 02:51 |
| codex84 | what are good themes | 02:51 |
| codex84 | for ubuntu | 02:51 |
| codex84 | ? | 02:51 |
| HyperShock | gonzalo: let me double check what they are calling it now | 02:51 |
| WindowNumOne | And select what under groups | 02:51 |
| calamari | WindowNumOne: you should have a cdrom group | 02:51 |
| caio | openbees : sorry, but not called theme, but local | 02:51 |
| xangua | lilstevie: yes | 02:51 |
| gonzalo | HyperShock: the official page of the ROOT software is at root.cern.ch | 02:51 |
| xangua | codex84: google gnome look | 02:51 |
| Viking667 | hm. Seems that once I install the applet (the deb) and type in its name, then it appears on the panel... | 02:52 |
| litropy | xangua, was that "yes" meant for me? | 02:52 |
| caio | openbees : i do confusion =D | 02:52 |
| HyperShock | gonzalo: my bad, i added an 's'. do sudo apt-get install build-essential | 02:52 |
| frybye | hi - I installed startup-manager with ubuntu software center but it does not show up in the gui and dosen't work from the terminal either? Any tips? | 02:52 |
| calamari | WindowNumOne: is there a cdrom group? | 02:52 |
| Viking667 | can't do diddle about the panel though to hide it. The closest I've got is when an app is fully fulscreened. | 02:52 |
| frybye | this startup-manager problem relates to natty | 02:52 |
| openbees | caio : i appriciate ur effort but the video was for ubuntu 9.10 ..... | 02:52 |
| HyperShock | gonzalo: yep, just expressing my concerns over the name of the program | 02:52 |
| Artarian | LESSON OF THE DAY: Dont ever ever upgrade your ubuntu to 11.04 | 02:52 |
| gonzalo | HyperShock: build-essential is already the newest version. (thanks for your help, by the way) | 02:53 |
| xangua | frybye: because there is no 'startup-manager' , there is 'startupmanager' | 02:53 |
| ChapterNZ | Viking667: can you define "type in its name" | 02:53 |
| Flannel | Artarian: Please stop that. | 02:53 |
| HyperShock | Artarian: lol, what makes you say that | 02:53 |
| calamari | HyperShock: he's trolling | 02:53 |
| WindowNumOne | yes, the cdrom group has my name checked there is not really any more options .. should I uncheck it and check it again or something | 02:53 |
| Viking667 | Artarian: actually, once I cured the two or three errors I did have, it was good to go. | 02:53 |
| caio | openbees : what your ubuntu?? | 02:53 |
| HyperShock | calamari: is there no one to ban him? | 02:53 |
| HyperShock | !ban | 02:53 |
| ubottu | If you have been banned it is probably because you have not gone along with what is acceptable !behaviour. If you're not sure what acceptable !behaviour is please see !Etiquette and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines - If you think the ban was a mistake, please join #ubuntu-ops | 02:53 |

| calamari | WindowNumOne: is there a dvd group or cdrw or something liek that? | 02:54 |
| ChapterNZ | Viking667: Ahhh right! And after you do that it "sometimes" shows the icon in the indicator ? | 02:54 |
| Viking667 | "sometimes"? | 02:55 |
| dijonyummy | where is the config for the gnome panel layout stored? i want to copy it from 10.10 to 11.04 gnome, after running a script to install all my apps | 02:55 |
| WindowNumOne | Shoot Calamari can I use a live cd to boot up then accesss my files and try burning a cd like that | 02:55 |
| ChapterNZ | Viking667: all the time? | 02:55 |
| WindowNumOne | oh yeah I will need my cd in it .lol | 02:55 |
| gonzalo | HyperShock: Is there any way to make the configure file recognize my libX11 package? | 02:55 |
| calamari | WindowNumOne: doubt it unless you hgave more than one cd drive | 02:55 |
| ChapterNZ | Viking667: (unfortunately never for me haha) | 02:55 |

| KM0201 | fisix: you can install those GUI's from the repositories | 03:09 |
| joeyeye | openbees, agree. In general the OS is fine, the Unity UI is not ready for prime time. Stick with the "classic" as a desktop UI. | 03:09 |
| Jordan_U | calamari: That's not even close to true. | 03:09 |

| karthick87 | How to make natty boot in verbose mode? | 03:10 |
| KM0201 | fisix: lxde.org is but lubuntu.org is not | 03:10 |
| KM0201 | or at least i don't think it is | 03:10 |
| calamari | Jordan_U: true: In April 2011 Mark Shuttleworth announced that Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot would not include the classic GNOME desktop as a fall back to Unity, unlike Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal. | 03:11 |
| openbees | joeyeye : thanks but i am using classic since very next hour of 11.04 installation lolz | 03:11 |
| Omega | calamari: classic GNOME desktop == gnome-panel | 03:11 |
| Omega | calamari: We're still a GNOME distribution | 03:11 |
| Jordan_U | calamari: Because GNOME has moved on to Gnome Shell, not because of any argument. | 03:11 |
| KM0201 | calamari: i thought it was gonna have unity-2d as a fallback.. .there needs to be some sort of fall back, to many peope having probs booting 3D | 03:11 |
| calamari | WindowNumOne: just look in the list and find the info, no need to paste it | 03:11 |
| Omega | calamari: We use GNOME rechnologies, GTK applications | 03:12 |
| richuk | that doesnt mean its not gona have Gnome3 tho calamari | 03:12 |
| IdleOne | KM0201: there is. see /msg ubottu !classic | 03:12 |
| KM0201 | IdleOne: thanks. | 03:12 |
| Jordan_U | calamari: GNOME no longer supports the "classic" desktop, and neither will Ubuntu (unless an upstream appears). Ubuntu 11.10 will let you use GNOME shell or unity. | 03:12 |

| IdleOne | cloud9: sudo apt-get install googleearth-package | 03:17 |

| Guest94632 | just received the new update and now I have no wireless networking... I have the third party bcm43xx drivers installed but I do not remember what to type to bring up the wireless networking... thought it was something like ifconfig wlan0 up...but not sure | 03:22 |
| calamari | Steela: that looks good then. and you said you were already in the cdrom group.. well I don't know at this point. I can get you working in a "wrong waqy" if you just want to burn | 03:22 |
| Jordan_U | karthick87: Did you run "sudo update-grub" after making changes to /etc/default/grub ? | 03:22 |
| calamari | Steela: if you run "sudo k3b" you should probably be able to burn | 03:22 |
| litropy | Guest94632, check out iwconfig as well | 03:22 |
| karthick87 | Jordan_U: Yes | 03:22 |
| Steela | thats when I put in a CD look what happens when I type mount after putting in DVD | 03:23 |
| KM0201 | calamari: i can't imagine a situation where any burning utility, would need sudo. | 03:23 |
| Jordan_U | karthick87: Can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub and your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? | 03:23 |
| litropy | Guest94632, also make sure the card is enabled in BIOS | 03:23 |
| jhay | Anyone else experiencing the Applications menu freezing up every once in a while? | 03:23 |
| Jordan_U | !gksudo | calamari | 03:23 |
| ubottu | calamari: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 03:23 |
| calamari | KM0201: it told him permission denied.. I used to get that all the time until I got my permissions sorted out | 03:23 |
| karthick87 | Jordan_U: Sure wait a min | 03:23 |
| calamari | KM0201: but if he just needs to burn something he can use sudo and get it done | 03:24 |
| litropy | Guest94632, Network Manager should do the rest. | 03:24 |
| KM0201 | calamari: hmm, thats strange.. i've never had to use sudo w/ a burning utility.. sounsd like he's got more issues than not being able to burn something unless he's root | 03:24 |
| Guest94632 | litropy, it is enabled in the bios... the only change that I made to the system was to upgrade to 11.04... from 10. | 03:24 |

| Steela | Calamari http://pastebin.com/ixwprTBh | 03:25 |
| calamari | KM0201: I'm pretty sure you need to be able to access the /dev/sr0 (etc) device in order to burn.. and the permissions are root.cdrom.. so either root or in the cdrom group | 03:25 |
| Guest94632 | this is on my laptop and the wireless is not coming up when I press the button | 03:25 |
| Guest94632 | ok | 03:25 |

| wdbl | calamari: you know what though, it's probably better to change the permissions because sometimes you want a different user to have access, like build services or whatever | 03:38 |
| Stelpa | like, the trash "folder" itself | 03:38 |
| Stelpa | I did "sudo rm -r /home/userID/.local/share/Trash/" | 03:38 |

| Steela | Calami I think I know what wrong when I typed sudo k3b I got this long message want to see | 03:39 |
| Viking667 | bromide_bro: and the deb packages expand to bigger than 600Mb when uncompressed | 03:39 |
| calamari | Steela: ok | 03:40 |
| Darren | why is my backlight not turning on in 11.04? | 03:40 |
| Steela | http://pastebin.com/xX1v565f | 03:40 |
| bromide_bro | really... i wonder what the heck they added that makes the new install so huge | 03:40 |
| Jordan_U | bromide_bro: The space requirement hasn't changed. | 03:40 |
| Viking667 | bromide_bro: what's on the CDROM is a single compressed filesystem, and the contents (usually) gets copied over uncompressed. | 03:40 |
| bromide_bro | at any rate, i guess i can't install 11.04 on this netbook | 03:40 |
| calamari | Steela: I thought I said to use gksudo because they corrected me.. guess you missed it | 03:40 |
| calamari | Steela: but still.. the program should have loaded | 03:41 |
| === Ttech is now known as The_Doctor | ||
| bromide_bro | jordan_u: it must have; i've had more than enough disk space to install ubuntu on this netbook before | 03:41 |
| Jordan_U | bromide_bro: How big is your hard drive? | 03:41 |
| bromide_bro | 2gb | 03:41 |
| Steela | want me to re try | 03:42 |
| Steela | so "gksudo k3b" then burn to iso | 03:42 |
| calamari | Steela: well did k3b load ? | 03:42 |
| Steela | it loaded last time | 03:42 |
| bromide_bro | the last version on this was probably something like 10.04, but i don't remember exactly... it didn't have this new installer | 03:42 |

| Jordan_U | bromide_bro: That would not be "more than enough" space for any release of Ubuntu, except maybe netbook editions which may be smaller than Desktop. | 03:42 |
| _Neytiri_ | how do i add a user with a home directory different than /home | 03:42 |

| Steela | It was a number | 03:43 |
| Viking667 | ... not without a hex editor. And that's not covered by Ubuntu support. | 03:43 |
| calamari | Steela: oh cool.. guess k3b got smarter since the lasty time I tried that hack.. lol | 03:43 |

| ^Phantom^ | What? | 03:47 |
| ^Phantom^ | I got asked the language of england before I could join? | 03:47 |
| bromide_bro | the non-netbook versions require too much disk space for my netbook | 03:47 |
| hidn_shadows | Anyone know about the two missing packages from Brasero? Mplex and Dvdauthor | 03:47 |
| Stafngrimr | Theres only one version of 11.04 I think isnt there | 03:47 |
| hidn_shadows | ^Phantom^, they're just checking to make sure you arent' a bot | 03:47 |

| Steela | shoot | 03:48 |
| bromide_bro | since i guess most netbooks these days have more than 2gb hard drive space | 03:48 |
| Cairo | bromide_bro: so just use the 11.04 netbook edition | 03:48 |
| mrdeb | is 1104 good now? | 03:48 |
| Steela | no one to help me | 03:48 |
| bromide_bro | it hasn't got one | 03:48 |

| shigutso | marca311, when a window receives the Urgent state, Unity's sidebar makes the icon pulse or wiggle. But it does only once. I'd like to keep animating until I click it, because it's hard to notice the tiny blue arrow to know new stuff is going on, like IM messaging, etc | 04:37 |

| DrMax | celthunder : getting somewhere :p | 05:19 |
| celthunder | DrMax: sorry...i shoulda specified you'd need those the first time | 05:19 |
| taglass | cb-linux: Gnome 3 autocreates workspaces as you need them. I'm not sure that you can set a specific amount. | 05:20 |
| DrMax | well, maybe you forgot | 05:20 |
| furous | all indcations suggest that it should work and the live cd demonstrates that, perhaps I should do a reinstall instead of the upgrade, perhaps something went wrong during the upgrade | 05:20 |
| DrMax | I just didn't know how to do this :p | 05:20 |
| _genuser_ | hello people. | 05:20 |

| aauthor | furous: I did encounter problems during the upgrade, and ended up doing a clean install which worked out fine for me. | 05:20 |
| DrMax | I should be able to boot from an older kernel | 05:20 |
| aauthor | furous: I looked it up, and your graphics card is supported. | 05:21 |
| crlcan81 | what did you upgrade from/to the first time? | 05:21 |

| crlcan81 | drAg stop, you're being a unbelievable dooouuuuu$$^ | 05:29 |
| celthunder | Rockj: hi | 05:29 |
| taglass | Sharpshooter761: Sure you can. I middle paste all of the time. | 05:29 |
| drAg | Okay. | 05:29 |
| DrMax | celthunder : srly, that made my day | 05:30 |
| DrMax | thx again | 05:30 |
| furous | i have done this | 05:30 |
| Sharpshooter761 | hmm, now all of a sudden it works fine. :/ | 05:30 |
| celthunder | DrMax: np | 05:30 |
| taglass | Sharpshooter761: The problem you might be having is that their are actually 2 clipboards under X | 05:30 |
| Sharpshooter761 | really? | 05:30 |
| celthunder | Sharpshooter761: that's because you complained about it :) | 05:30 |
| celthunder | Sharpshooter761: so it had to work | 05:30 |
| celthunder | furous: and result? | 05:30 |
| furous | .xauthority does not exist | 05:30 |
| Dice-Man | hi there | 05:31 |
| Sharpshooter761 | no no no, tell me more, what are these two clipboards, and what are the differences, tell me everything | 05:31 |
| celthunder | furous: so make one | 05:31 |
| taglass | Sharpshooter761: One that stores stuff that you use ctrl c ctrl v on and one that holds the last highlighted text. | 05:31 |
| Dice-Man | i'm on ubuntu lucid lynx i want to compile the last rhythmbox version | 05:31 |
| celthunder | Sharpshooter761: you can make as many clipboards as you want..theres 2 by default though | 05:31 |
| furous | so just create the folder? | 05:31 |
| celthunder | Dice-Man: install build-essential and go to rythmbox's site get the source extract and compile or use git/svn | 05:31 |
| Rehan | why does my X keep crashing like a mofo? | 05:32 |
| furous | how do I get out of init 3?! | 05:32 |
| celthunder | furous: it's a file so touch .xauthority | 05:32 |
| celthunder | furous: telinit 5 | 05:32 |
| taglass | furous: telinit 5 | 05:32 |
| _genuser_ | man internet connection is going nuts | 05:32 |
| celthunder | furous: note telinit 5 won't work if startx didn't | 05:32 |
| celthunder | or it shouldn't | 05:32 |
| mr_fringe | bye | 05:32 |
| Sharpshooter761 | thanks a tonne, celthunder, you are a very nice stranger. and no, i will not accept candy | 05:32 |
| DrMax | ahah | 05:33 |
| taglass | celthunder: It will work, but it might not start X :) | 05:33 |
| celthunder | Sharpshooter761: i have apple pie and caramels? | 05:33 |
| furous | telinit 5 does indeed not work... | 05:33 |
| Sharpshooter761 | im canadian, for some reason i do not like apple pie. any other pie is great | 05:33 |
| celthunder | taglass: lol true enough telinit 5 without starting x kind of is telinit 3 though (unless he added something to his int | 05:33 |
| crlcan81 | has anyone ever had an issue logging out and logging back in with headphones on a usb keyboard not being recognized? I've had that since 10.04, b ut only had this keyboard since 10.04 | 05:33 |

| soreau | my panels aren't working in unity and I just want to log out (not reboot). How can I logout from CLI? | 05:33 |
| Sharpshooter761 | panels are totally removed in unity :( | 05:34 |
| furous | So I should reboot to get out then? | 05:34 |
| drAg | :( | 05:34 |
| eigba_ | celthunder, Runlevel is the word your looking for | 05:34 |
| _genuser_ | soreau: you could just kill X. | 05:34 |
| drAg | Panels, being destroyed by Unity since October 2010 | 05:34 |
| celthunder | eigba_: telinit just switches between runlevels | 05:34 |
| Eric__ | ubuntu 10.10 wireless adaptor not ready firmware missing.have now connected to the net with wir adaptor,how do I get the firmware please? | 05:34 |
| _genuser_ | the ole panels were nice in unity, eh? | 05:35 |
| soreau | _genuser_: I started gnome-panel to access logout | 05:35 |
| celthunder | eigba_: though yeah i worded that badly | 05:35 |
| _genuser_ | soreau: so you logged out finally? | 05:35 |
| celthunder | Eric__: what wireless adapter? | 05:35 |
| _genuser_ | it's taking a while but the new unity in 10.10 is making sense. | 05:36 |
| _genuser_ | and 11.04 is upgrading | 05:36 |
| Eric__ | Celthunder_ intel mini adaptor | 05:36 |
| biffsharp | anyone have RTL8187 wireless chipset? | 05:36 |

| ubottu | biffsharp: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 05:37 |
| celthunder | Eric__: so install intel-firmware or i2600 or whatever its called i think it's something i2600-fm? | 05:37 |
| Eric__ | ineed something like device manager in windows | 05:37 |
| celthunder | Eric__: lshw | 05:37 |
| Sharpshooter761 | question, how would i go about setting up an irc chat myself, | 05:37 |
| Sharpshooter761 | i have a server and domainname already | 05:38 |
| celthunder | Sharpshooter761: ircd? | 05:38 |
| _genuser_ | the rtl818x is pretty common. it should have kernel support. | 05:38 |
| celthunder | Sharpshooter761: pick an ircd software to run (preferably not unreal ) and install it configure it and start it | 05:38 |
| Sharpshooter761 | sorry you guys have to put up with my lame questions XD | 05:38 |
| celthunder | Sharpshooter761: if you want services install those to | 05:38 |
| biffsharp | i can't figure out how to patch RTL8187 for aircrack | 05:38 |
| celthunder | and then link | 05:38 |
| drAg | No, Broadcom STA is more common on most laptops | 05:38 |
| furous | OK, so reboot it is then! | 05:39 |
| Sharpshooter761 | cool, thanks once again | 05:39 |
| celthunder | furous: ? | 05:39 |

| biffsharp | yeah it doesnt work | 05:40 |
| coz_ | ok guys,, I have a question:) started gimp on this fresh install for the first time and it was a bit weird,, creatd a new user account and all was fine, will the old command to purge gimps settins work on natty? | 05:40 |
| biffsharp | it will say fixed -1 | 05:40 |
| celthunder | furous: capitalize the X .Xauthority sorry | 05:40 |
| celthunder | furous: then try | 05:40 |
| coz_ | rather gnomes settings | 05:40 |
| soreau | coz_: Hey, me first: I selected ubuntu classic but it's still loading unity | 05:41 |
| celthunder | furous: try running startx after doing that | 05:41 |
| soreau | What is going on with this thing? | 05:41 |
| celthunder | soreau: change it in xsessions or .xinitrc? | 05:41 |
| coz_ | soreau, whoa... is the unity plugin enabled? | 05:42 |
| soreau | celthunder: Am I supposed to have to do that? | 05:42 |
| soreau | coz_: probably | 05:42 |
| coz_ | soreau, that would do it :) | 05:42 |
| celthunder | soreau: uhm its probably what your gui stuff is changing anyway | 05:42 |
| soreau | coz_: It doesn't start gnome-panel though | 05:42 |
| coz_ | soreau, restart x it s hould come back up | 05:43 |
| furous | it won't even go back to the prompt so that I can write anything! | 05:43 |
| soreau | coz_: I rebooted and it's still broken | 05:43 |
| coz_ | soreau, or in terminal gnome-panel & disown | 05:43 |
| Rehan | what log should I look at right after all of a sudden Ubuntu logs me out in the middle of something? | 05:43 |

| celthunder | Rehan: uhm what were you doing | 05:44 |
| Rehan | celthunder: thanks for helping | 05:44 |
| coz_ | soreau, that's puzzling,, it did happen to me once but it was because of the Unity plugin in ccsm | 05:44 |

| Rehan | celthunder: if I do CTRL+ALT+F1 it shows my regular desktop, on ctrl+alt+f2 it goes to a black screen | 05:45 |
| Rehan | celthunder: but its a blank screen, nothing on it | 05:46 |
| * crlcan81 nods, I just hadn't really done as much with it in Ubuntu as in Windows Xp, LOVE to alter shell in XP. | 05:46 | |
| celthunder | Rehan: ...that's messed up... f6 should be your desktop and 1-5 should be terminals | 05:46 |
| Rehan | celthunder: yeah...it should be F7 was my desktop | 05:46 |

| Viking667 | rage: titles displayed where? | 06:54 |
| katselphrime | yep im having same problem w/ rage | 06:54 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: haven't tried that yet. STill upgrading to 11.04. | 06:55 |
| rage | Viking667: The window title should be displayed immediately under the selected application when you alt tab | 06:55 |
| Atomicspin | Wireless was working fine in 10.10, now it's not in 11.04 | 06:55 |
| Atomicspin | I have the STA drivers installed. | 06:55 |
| Viking667 | ahh, no i don't get that either. | 06:55 |
| thelorax | rage:can you see your top menu bar? | 06:55 |
| Viking667 | I get the icon for the application showing on the snapshot window though... | 06:55 |
| rage | thelorax: I'm not running unity | 06:55 |
| eiriksvin | try switching an app to another workspace then alt tab | 06:55 |
| Viking667 | Oh. I am. | 06:55 |
| Viking667 | sorry... | 06:55 |
| rage | Viking667: So you are getting the title? | 06:56 |
| Viking667 | rage: which application switcher are you using? | 06:56 |
| rage | Viking667: Static application switcher | 06:56 |
| Viking667 | ANd I'm using Unity, I don't get the title of the window. | 06:56 |
| rage | Viking667: However the problem is compiz wide | 06:56 |
| Viking667 | ahhhhh. I'm not using static. I can start it up and try that out. | 06:56 |
| Viking667 | brb | 06:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | thelorax, are you using 11.04? | 06:56 |
| Viking667 | ah huh. | 06:56 |
| thelorax | rage: im new to all this..i just upgraded from 10.0 or whatever..and now i cant see my menu bar at the top where i chose my applications and such | 06:56 |
| rage | Viking667: All of compiz seems incapable of display text | 06:57 |
| Viking667 | Checked your theme? | 06:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | thelorax, disregard the !panel factoid then! | 06:57 |
| thelorax | ZykoticK9: yeah i just upgraded from 10.0 or whatever | 06:57 |
| rage | Viking667: I have two vanilla machines display these symptoms. One ati the other nvidia | 06:57 |
| thelorax | ZykoticK9: and now i cant see my menu bar on the top of the screen that used to be there in 10.0 so i could choose from my applications or go to my software center or change my backround and themes and all that | 06:58 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: you see the link? | 06:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | thelorax, welcome to unity ;) | 06:58 |
| rage | Viking667: I'm hoping its not just me who has this bug | 06:58 |
| rage | Viking667: So Compiz text display okay for you? | 06:59 |
| Viking667 | Yup. I can concur that with the "Static application switcher" I don't see titles either. | 06:59 |
| rage | Viking667: Okay, phew, | 06:59 |
| Viking667 | ATI card, HD3450 | 06:59 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: yeah | 06:59 |
| Viking667 | ... if we're talking about the snapshots | 06:59 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: one last thing, if you know | 06:59 |
| rage | Viking667: Yeah, its very annoying. I use Scale Window Title filter frequently, its nearly useless if you cant see any text | 06:59 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: how can i get it to stop asking me if i wanna upgrade | 06:59 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: i dont see that in cron | 07:00 |
| thelorax | ZykoticK9: FUK! haha...i just want my old ubuntu back..how can i go about getting my menubar to show..or how do i use my applications..i can only see my desktop icons and my "dockY" at the bottom..so the only applications i have access to are the ones saved in my docky | 07:00 |
| richiefrich | i dont want to click yes on accident | 07:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | thelorax, i repeat - welcome to unity. I've stopped using Ubuntu because of Unity myself. Good luck. | 07:00 |
| thelorax | what do you use now? | 07:01 |
| thelorax | i dont want to go back to windows | 07:01 |
| fisix | why does plugging in my ethernet cord not change the wifi icon in the indicator applet panel? | 07:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | thelorax, debian / trisquel | 07:01 |
| Viking667 | fisix: why should it? | 07:01 |
| Garry | richiefrich. Do u see ? Don't Upgrade, Ask later, Upgrade | 07:01 |
| fisix | Viking667, it used to change to an up/down arrow | 07:01 |
| fisix | Viking667, after updating to 11.04 with classic gnome, it does not | 07:02 |
| richiefrich | Garry: i see that, but i mean i dont even want it to ask | 07:02 |
| thelorax | ZykoticK9:how do i switch without altering my files on ubuntu? is that possible? | 07:02 |
| Viking667 | oh. Then I apologise. I thought it'd not change because it's wireless, and you'd plugged in a wired link. | 07:02 |
| Mrokii | hello. I have heard to Gnome 3 will break Unity and/or Compiz. But will it also break the "Ubuntu Classic"-GUI (where I use compiz). | 07:02 |
| richiefrich | like ever | 07:02 |
| richiefrich | oh i know | 07:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | thelorax, have you tried "Classic Mode" from the GDM screen? | 07:02 |
| richiefrich | ill disable apt-get | 07:02 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: lol, that upgrade part I don't know. In the update-manager windows in Settings, you can at least set it to only show LTS release or something. I think that's for upgrade. For updates, I guess I just always say no.... | 07:02 |
| neil_ | I am having trouble setting up a proxy for 'Transmission' torrent program.. I found this list http://torrentproxy.org/ ... I have tried several .. when I click on the 'download' torrent button I still get the "/tmp/xxx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read." error | 07:03 |
| Viking667 | for updates/upgrades, don't run into the problem I ran into a while ago... couldn't upgrade packages because the release was no longer present at any of the Ubuntu mirrors. | 07:03 |
| fisix | Viking667, oh haha that's alright. any idea on wat to do? | 07:04 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: chmod 0 /usr/bin/apt-get /usr/bin/aptitude-curses ; chattr +ai /usr/bin/apt-get /usr/bin/aptitude-curses | 07:04 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: i fixed it | 07:04 |
| thelorax | ZykoticK9: GMD screen? | 07:04 |
| foodstamp | Viking667 so i should sty on main server? | 07:04 |
| Hoyt | anyone here using GrSecurity kernel patch ? | 07:04 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: lol. There's the Startup Application Preferences. That has a line saying Update Notifier, you can uncheck that too. | 07:05 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: i will fix it on my own, like that :P | 07:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | thelorax, GDM = the login screen, select your user name, then at the bottom click Session | 07:05 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: where is that | 07:05 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: that fix will work nice too. :) | 07:05 |
| thelorax | ok ill try | 07:05 |
| thelorax | brb | 07:05 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: There's the Startup Application Preferences. ?? | 07:05 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: i see it | 07:05 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: from unity, Applications -> System -> Startup Application Preferences | 07:05 |
| aLeSD | hi ... why ubuntu 11.04 doesn't follow gconf-editor configurations ? | 07:06 |
| eiriksvin | whats the name of the program i gotta download to stop the launcher from moving and or disappearing? | 07:06 |
| nit-wit | aLeSD, ? | 07:06 |
| cmdbbq | so that is a no on adding pidgin to the messaginn menu on right side of the top panel thing? my second question is this then, the top panel thing shows the name of the focused window, but can be made to switch to the menu bar for said window via the alt key or moving the mouse over it. I want it to always be the menu bar. possible? | 07:06 |
| fisix | does anybody know why ifconfig shows a connection for eth0 but iwconfig doesn ot? | 07:06 |
| aLeSD | nit-wit: I set panel to avant-window-navigator but gnome-panel is still there | 07:06 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: nice | 07:07 |
| _genuser_ | fisix: iwconfig shows wireless ones, no? | 07:07 |
| aLeSD | nit-wit: I remove the panel entry and gnome-panel is still there | 07:07 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: you like? :) | 07:07 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: i do, i am so not used to gui's | 07:07 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: getting ready to reboot and see what 11.04 looks like and then disable unity if possible.... | 07:07 |
| eiriksvin | whats the name of the program i gotta download to stop the launcher from moving and or disappearing? | 07:07 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: good luck | 07:08 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: just chaneg from gnome, to like awesome | 07:08 |
| debrisrat | hi! | 07:08 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: hehe, I would really use gentoo on the netbook that's why I bought it, to play with gentoo more for lean setup. but then I thought who wants to compile gtk on a 1.66GHz single core.... | 07:08 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: use archlinux | 07:09 |
| nit-wit | aLeSD, not sure what you have done but here is the installation wiki.http://wiki.awn-project.org/Installation | 07:09 |
| richiefrich | it is nice and fast for a netbook | 07:09 |
| fisix | _genuser_, yeah the wireless is shown | 07:09 |
| nit-wit | aLeSD, I have never used awn sorry, | 07:09 |
| aLeSD | nit-wit: thanks anyway | 07:10 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: would be fun those to install gentoo using distcc with a faster one around. :) | 07:10 |
| rick_2047 | hey guys have acer 5742G and everything working just great but the internal mic is not working | 07:11 |
| rick_2047 | it is detected by aplay | 07:11 |
| drhe1skt | so unity any good? are people staying with gnome? | 07:11 |
| thelorax | ZykoticK9: THANK YOU! it worked! | 07:12 |
| Garry | richiefrich. Have sorted to disable upgrade option yet? | 07:12 |
| rage | drhe1skt: Staying with Gnome here. | 07:12 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: install it in a chroot on the main box and then just rsync it. I mean use sys-devel/crossdev | 07:12 |
| thelorax | ZykoticK9: classic mode homie | 07:12 |
| richiefrich | Garry: yes ty | 07:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | thelorax, glad to help | 07:12 |
| eiriksvin | whats the name of the program i gotta download to stop the launcher from moving and or disappearing? it had Unity in the name i know that | 07:13 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: I guess most of the things would work fine that way. Using rsync... the wifi stuff is the only thing to worry about.... | 07:13 |
| drhe1skt | rage, did you check out unity though? | 07:13 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: cool idea | 07:13 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: trye | 07:13 |
| richiefrich | true | 07:13 |
| DrMax | celthunder : still there? | 07:13 |
| rage | drhe1skt: Still using it on my main desktop. | 07:13 |
| rage | drhe1skt: However until its stable, I'm not staying with it | 07:14 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: if the wifi is supported in kernel, it would be super. | 07:14 |
| _genuser_ | well then, mission gentoo might be a go. | 07:14 |
| rage | drhe1skt: I'll give it another go when 12.04 LTS comes out, hopefully the bugs will be sorted by then | 07:14 |
| MadRobot | Hi all. | 07:15 |
| thelorax | yo | 07:15 |
| Scall | What version of Firefox uses Ubuntu 10.04 LTS? (sorry for my English) | 07:16 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: only thing i would like on this is FF4 | 07:16 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: but i can install that manually | 07:16 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: since i diabled apt-get | 07:16 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: FF4 is out already? | 07:17 |
| MadRobot | I'm having this weird problem with changing the keyboard lay-out. I use the the Alt-Shift combination to change the layout. I can change it from USA to Arabic (the second language), but when I try to change it back it doesn't work unless I do that manually with the mouse. How do I fix that? | 07:17 |
| _genuser_ | only if there was internet explorer for linux that worked fast. | 07:17 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: it might be in beta | 07:17 |
| MadRobot | _genuser_, FF4 is awesome if you ask me? | 07:18 |
| MadRobot | ahh, ignore the question mark.. | 07:18 |
| _genuser_ | I really like FF3 on linux. Just that I'm used to IE8 on my win machine and switching between the two is kinda one of those things where I want to just have the same browser. | 07:18 |
| _genuser_ | but FF is pretty cool in what it does. it has definitely beat chromium into it's place | 07:19 |
| htek | what the hell would someone use IE for | 07:19 |
| htek | you like zeus? | 07:19 |
| MadRobot | htek, Exactly. | 07:19 |
| _genuser_ | I use windows also and IE is already on it. And it just works. better than any other browser on there. So I use it. | 07:20 |
| mysteriousdarren | _genuser_: why IE? most people hate it | 07:20 |
| === Logan_ is now known as thebadcushion | ||
| MadRobot | So can anybody please help me with me layout problem? | 07:20 |
| _genuser_ | meh, I don't really worry about what someone might think of it. It just works and works nice. | 07:20 |
| _genuser_ | now like FF works the best on linux. and I tried chromium and again use FF. 'coz chromium was just blah. | 07:21 |
| _genuser_ | last command of an upgrade... says upgrade has failed. | 07:21 |
| _genuser_ | 2hrs spend for .... no upgrade. | 07:21 |
| _genuser_ | argh!!!! | 07:21 |
| mathews | -genuser: this is not a place to make windows slogan.Pls leave this place for Ubuntu lovers | 07:21 |
| _genuser_ | mathews: oh you and your fake ubuntu love. We were just discussing browsers and I explained why I use IE. put a sock it bud. | 07:22 |
| MadRobot | I can change my layout from English to the other language using the keyboard, but I can't change it back unless I do it with the mouse. What could be the problem? | 07:22 |

| ZykoticK9 | alokar, i couldn't tell you for sure, but i'm sure that would work - i believe there is a stable (vs daily build) PPA though | 07:25 |
| alokar | ZykoticK9, Or do you have a good link I can check out. | 07:25 |

| tbf | ...thought i've done it once, but cannot remember how | 07:32 |
| richiefrich | what panel are you using | 07:32 |
| tbf | richiefrich: the unity thing | 07:32 |
| richiefrich | oh then idk | 07:32 |
| richiefrich | i dont think you can move things around | 07:32 |
| richiefrich | at this time, could be wrong | 07:33 |
| bullgard4 | How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing) | 07:33 |
| richiefrich | you used to be able to right click | 07:33 |
| tbf | richiefrich: pretty sure i did | 07:33 |
| kezzawd | alokar - try this - http://bit.ly/knlNcZ | 07:33 |
| KNUBBIG | richiefrich: I think you're mostly right, you can change some but not all | 07:33 |
| richiefrich | KNUBBIG: yeah you cant even put the launcher on the bottom | 07:33 |
| linux_probe | teh richiefrich ish teh failz | 07:33 |
| richiefrich | or top | 07:33 |
| kezzawd | tbf - do you have Ubuntu Tweak installed | 07:33 |
| richiefrich | KNUBBIG: needs to be on the side | 07:33 |
| tbf | ...but right now right click pans that dock | 07:34 |
| tbf | kezzawd: wtf... ubuntu also comes with such mess now? | 07:34 |
| tbf | are we back at windows 95? | 07:34 |
| tbf | (with it's infamous tweak ui) | 07:34 |
| linux_probe | win 3.1! | 07:34 |
| KNUBBIG | I think there was something you could do but I can't find it anymore | 07:34 |
| kezzawd | tbf - if you have Ubuntu Tweak then make sure you have show desktop icons checked | 07:34 |
| bullgard4 | !enter | tbf | 07:34 |
| ubottu | tbf: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 07:34 |
| kezzawd | that will stop right-click on desktop if not checked | 07:35 |
| xion56 | how do I make share internet connection with playstation 3 with Linux Mint? (with is based in ubuntu) I have put ethernet cable between them | 07:35 |
| kezzawd | tbf you can re-arrange all launchers by dragging them off and then replacing them where you want | 07:36 |
| tbf | ubottu: emotions. emotions. it __really__ upset's me that suddenly both unity and gnome-shall resort to ux mess like windows 95's tweak ui. it's a really bad sign. | 07:36 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:36 |
| tbf | kezzawd: "dragging off".... hmm.... let's see | 07:37 |
| KNUBBIG | kezzawd: woot? Since when can I drag the launcher icons? | 07:37 |
| bullgard4 | xion56: Please put this question in a Linux Mint channel. This is #ubuntu. | 07:37 |
| KNUBBIG | kezzawd: lol thanks | 07:37 |
| kezzawd | KNUBBIG my pleasure | 07:37 |
| Josesordo | I can use compiz and some docky in XFCE? | 07:37 |
| tbf | kezzawd: that was the trick! thanks alot! | 07:37 |
| xion56 | bullgard4: I have tried there, I figured if here people can help as its based in ubuntu | 07:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | Josesordo, i was just looking at http://www.ghacks.net/2010/07/11/run-compiz-with-xfce4/ | 07:38 |
| tbf | so now i only have to figure out how to edit launchers, unity imported from gnome shell. have one with horribly upscaled icon. | 07:38 |
| Josesordo | ZykoticK9, xfce4 is with xubuntu 11.04? | 07:39 |
| tbf | well, alternative: how do i add custom launchers (without pre-installed .desktop file) | 07:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | Josesordo, ? | 07:39 |
| kezzawd | tbf - try right-click to remove launcher, then open the application and pin the launcher again ? | 07:39 |
| tbf | kezzawd: don't have a desktop file for this app... but let's try | 07:40 |
| Josesordo | ZykoticK9, its ok.. google answered me xD | 07:40 |
| bear_ | hi is theere a " all in one codec pack"? | 07:41 |
| tbf | kezzawd: no, that's the wrong instance | 07:41 |

| cmdbbq | ok, i got pidgin into the messaging menu by enabling the libnotify plugin, now i just need to get empathy (listed as "chat") to go away. any ideas on how i would do that? | 07:42 |
| bullgard4 | bear_: No. | 07:42 |
| tbf | kezzawd: (not surprisingly) took the app it found in path (or however) - not the shell script | 07:42 |
| richiefrich | tbf: lol switch to xface :P | 07:42 |
| richiefrich | XFCE | 07:43 |
| richiefrich | i mean | 07:43 |
| KNUBBIG | anybody knows why eclipse in the repos is still 3.5 not 3.6? | 07:43 |
| kezzawd | tbf - try this thread - half way down - http://bit.ly/msZLwR | 07:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | bear_, if u-r-e doesn't have what you're looking for check out w32codec (or w64codec) from Medibuntu | 07:43 |
| tbf | richiefrich: why? unity is pretty cool. just needs a bit polish. guess we finally have to admit, mark is a visionary | 07:43 |
| M13up | Umm, just put on ubuntu 11.4, looks OK. where do i get the admin menu from? | 07:43 |
| richiefrich | tbf: oh i wasnt a fan | 07:44 |
| bear_ | will that cover most of it , and its there more of them , i dont feel like trying to mess up on this oreder for this customer... | 07:44 |
| jamzed | Is somebody have a problem with iPhone tethering on Ubuntu 11.04? Look's like problem with DHCP server. | 07:44 |
| kezzawd | M13up Hit super key then check out the dropdown menu you see to the right | 07:44 |
| kezzawd | M13up - take that back sorry - if you get the application 'lens' up then you should see a dropdown menu to the right | 07:45 |
| M13up | kezzawd: I have shortcuts from super, and a dock on the left. | 07:45 |
| M13up | kezzawd: is there still a menu for admin tools and another for applications i can access. | 07:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | bear_, u-r-e should cover "most" of it | 07:46 |
| bear_ | then what am i missing? | 07:47 |
| keefer | wow | 07:47 |
| keefer | unity looks nice | 07:48 |
| keefer | hm | 07:48 |
| === keefer is now known as Fukkem | ||
| Fukkem | oh | 07:48 |
| linuxuz3r | there are tons of website that has ios app reviews | 07:48 |
| linuxuz3r | is there an app review for linux apps | 07:48 |
| Rehan | what does the vga=795 mean in grub kernel options? | 07:48 |
| === wilson is now known as Guest97754 | ||
| tbf | richiefrich: of unity or mark? :-D about unity? sure, not entirely polished yet - what do you expect for a first release. but then a big step forward over the old panel and much saner ux story than gnome-shell | 07:48 |
| === keefer is now known as Fukkem | ||
| cmdbbq | M13up: if you click the ubuntu logo or tap super you get an integrated menu geared towards search and then as you type stuff in it will find whatever program you want | 07:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | Rehan, vga= is deprecated | 07:49 |
| richiefrich | tbf: yeah unity | 07:49 |
| richiefrich | tbf: i just switched to another window manager | 07:49 |
| kezzawd | M13up: the closest I've come to it is the method I described - although I prefer to just hit 'Super' and then type the name of the application / tool I want followed by return | 07:49 |
| cmdbbq | or there is an "applications" entry in the dock on the left and you can look for see all applications or something like that | 07:49 |
| Rehan | ZykoticK9: how comes its in there by default? should I just remove it? I don't want my resolution to be 795 if thats what it does | 07:49 |
| tbf | very big fan of how it turns each maximized app into some kind of full screen app, by moving titlebar and menubar into the top panel | 07:49 |
| mathews | linuxuz3r: http://linux.softpedia.com/ | 07:49 |
| cmdbbq | installed: 91 more results is what it says M13up | 07:50 |
| tbf | → goodbye F11 fullscreen shortcut, you are redundant now | 07:50 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: It's a depricated way to pass information to grub about what video mode to set. GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX in /etc/default/grub is the replacement and takes a simple resolution specified like "800x600". | 07:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | Rehan, what version of ubuntu did you find that by default? it's not directly translated to a 795 pixel resolution BTW. | 07:50 |
| M13up | cmdbbq: yeh but sometimes i want something i can't remeber the name of. | 07:50 |
| dualcore | 11.04 doesn't see a partition on another hard drive that i need access too. i think it has my old users permissions | 07:50 |
| Rehan | ZykoticK9: 11.04 | 07:50 |
| tbf | kezzawd: feared i'd have to manually create a .desktop file. well. ok. | 07:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | Rehan, lol figures. | 07:51 |
| bullgard4 | Rehan: You can change it to another value. | 07:51 |
| _genuser_ | ok that's the last time I do upgrade on ubuntu. | 07:51 |
| _genuser_ | after 11.04 upgrade when I log it, it | 07:51 |
| M13up | Also for someone new to the features of ubuntu they don't have the chance to play with items. they have to find them a very hard way. it's nice just to see the admin tools in a list sometimes. | 07:51 |
| nat__ | hello | 07:51 |
| _genuser_ | ust shows a black background and nothing. Anybody seen that before and how to fix it? | 07:52 |
| Rehan | bullgard4: i can comment out GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and instead put in GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX ? | 07:52 |
| kezzawd | tbf - if you right click desktop and use 'Create Launcher' it's simpler - then you just need to move the launcher created into .local/share/ applications, and then drag it out of that location into the dock - it works | 07:52 |
| _genuser_ | having ot login to netbuntu 2D session. | 07:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | _genuser_ i don't think many of the experienced users in this channel would recommend upgrading ubuntu. | 07:52 |
| kezzawd | tbf: for dock read launcher lol (OSX !!!) | 07:52 |
| bullgard4 | Rehan: I did not implay that. | 07:52 |
| bullgard4 | Rehan: I did not imply that. | 07:52 |
| bear_ | whats the command to plaay dvds... the ones you get at the store | 07:52 |
| cmdbbq | M13up: I don't know how to get the old catagories view, if that is even still possible, but Applications on the menu bar and then clicking on where it says see more results next to installed should get you a full list to look at | 07:52 |
| _genuser_ | ZykoticK9: lol, I wouldn't either now. I'm experienced too. | 07:52 |
| _genuser_ | now. | 07:52 |
| bear_ | libdvdcss2 | 07:52 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: : i can comment out GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and instead put in GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX ? | 07:53 |
| bp0 | yes, upgrading is a mistake | 07:53 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: What are you trying to accomplish? | 07:53 |
| _genuser_ | now, important topic. | 07:53 |
| _genuser_ | does anyone know how to downgrade? | 07:53 |
| _genuser_ | to 10.10? | 07:53 |
| tbf | kezzawd: thank you | 07:53 |
| nat__ | how do i change name | 07:53 |
| _genuser_ | short of install fresh install from 10.10 media/ | 07:53 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: just cleaning up my grub file that i was editing around | 07:53 |
| KNUBBIG | !downgrade | _genuser_ | 07:53 |
| ubottu | _genuser_: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 07:53 |
| Jordan_U | !downgrade | _genuser_ | 07:53 |
| tbf | hey, the x-chat icon shows when i got pinged on irc... sweet! | 07:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | _genuser_, sure, downgrade = fresh install | 07:54 |
| _genuser_ | ah, so basically ubuntu is too busy trying to be new windows they don't care about users.... | 07:54 |
| _genuser_ | check. | 07:54 |
| cmdbbq | M13up: on the left side dock, it looks like a magnifying glass with an addition sign in the lense | 07:54 |
| M13up | OK thanks everyone | 07:54 |
| _genuser_ | thanks guys. | 07:54 |
| bullgard4 | _genuser_: There is no "downgrade". You will need to re-install another Ubuntu release. | 07:54 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: Then just remove "vga=795" and don't replace it with anything. It shouldn't be needed. | 07:54 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: ok thanks, whats the 'splash' mean on the same line? | 07:55 |
| _genuser_ | bullgard4: hehe, it's probably faster too. the upgrade took 4hrs from 10.04 to 10.10 and then 3 hr to 11.0. | 07:55 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: Show a boot animation rather than scrolling text during boot. | 07:55 |
| d4gg3r | any aidea how to install this? libplds4.so.0d | 07:55 |
| d4gg3r | ? | 07:55 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: very informative, thank you. Is quiet the opposite of splash? | 07:55 |
| KNUBBIG | Now that I read it, does the plymouth splash screen thingy still exist in natty? Doesn't seem to work for me | 07:55 |
| bullgard4 | _genuser_: Yes. A quite common phenomenon. | 07:55 |
| phonex01 | Oh god today they killed bin laden !! | 07:56 |
| Rehan | KNUBBIG: doesn't work for me either :) just see a black screen until the login screen | 07:56 |
| M13up | OH yeh it's possible from the super/icon browse section. | 07:56 |
| _genuser_ | bullgard4: you konw I kept thinking on every update/upgrade waring ot just ignore it. and then I hit upgrade. | 07:56 |
| bp0 | phonex01, yesterday. | 07:56 |
| phonex01 | in my time it is today | 07:56 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: No, quiet means to show less messages during boot. They generally go together. | 07:56 |
| M13up | you can change options search result on the right and select system. | 07:56 |
| bullgard4 | _genuser_: I know this temptation too. | 07:56 |
| paspro | Question: Gwibber throws notification messages on the screen with twitter/facebook events. However, when I try to click on these notifications I they fade out. Is there any way for them to become clickable? | 07:56 |
| KNUBBIG | Rehan: I see my GRUB background and that's it :) but I think the opposite of splash is nosplash | 07:56 |
| cmdbbq | how do you go to the desktop/minimize all windows in unity? | 07:57 |
| M13up | then then a few come up you click system again and the full list will appear. | 07:57 |
| Rehan | KNUBBIG: yeah i see my grub page perfectly but then after that its black screen until login. Its because of stupid nvidia drivers or something from what I've read | 07:57 |
| MoL0ToV | hi to all! i just upgraded to 11.04, where i can find the normal/basic/advanced compiz graphics effects? | 07:57 |
| Jordan_U | !ccsm | MoL0ToV | 07:57 |
| phonex01 | they just opened the hell gate in pakistan , they have no idea what they can do there ...... US gov did the most stupid thing that will really make them suffer .. | 07:57 |
| ubottu | MoL0ToV: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 07:57 |
| Jordan_U | !ot | phonex01 | 07:57 |
| ubottu | phonex01: #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! | 07:57 |
| paspro | M13up: I know that, I was just wondering if I can click directly when the notification message pops up | 07:57 |
| _genuser_ | bullgard4: anyway, thanks. :) | 07:57 |
| phonex01 | ok ok im sorry | 07:58 |
| KNUBBIG | Rehan: mh dunno, had to fix sthing in 10.10 as well, but splash also doesn#t work on my 11.04 ATI notebook so it might just be all proprietary drivers ... | 07:58 |
| bp0 | is someone making a natty faq? somthing better than those bot factoids, all in one place? | 07:58 |
| bp0 | that would be handy | 07:58 |
| bp0 | i remember someone did it with lucid | 07:58 |
| bp0 | that was great | 07:58 |
| d4gg3r | ? | 07:58 |
| kezzawd | MoL0ToV: if you install ccsm and not simple-ccsm you also get some options for tweaking unity | 07:58 |
| d4gg3r | any aidea how to install this? libplds4.so.0d? | 07:59 |
| bullgard4 | paspro: Be careful. Gwibber is fairly safe. If you mingle it with Twitter/Facebook you will abandon some security. | 07:59 |

| richiefrich | _genuser_: =o i never played with encryption like that | 08:20 |
| greenit | usr13: i hope so... as the window in the terminal appeared, i made a star at my user so that it looks like that: [*] greenit | 08:20 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: i wonder how slow it is | 08:20 |
| ben21 | ben21, what all my intervention? i don't know what to do | 08:21 |
| greenit | usr13: this window was for netdev afais | 08:21 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: I'd be curious too. Using truecrypt for windows, I was noticing on AES, it was noticeably slow. Very noticeable. On linux those I'd only do the swap and home partition on a slow computer. | 08:21 |
| bullgard4 | How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing) | 08:21 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: ahh | 08:22 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: let me know, if you try it | 08:22 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: will do. if not here in #gentoo. :) looking to get the raid1 server to LUKS eventually | 08:23 |
| usr13 | greenit: What? | 08:23 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: yeah or you can join my channel :P | 08:23 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: you have a channel? | 08:23 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: oh yeah | 08:23 |
| brandonc503 | if i have a sftp users and im trying to give them one folder to upload to, is that what im reading is jailing? | 08:23 |
| _genuser_ | richiefrich: lot of work to keep it going no? | 08:23 |
| richiefrich | _genuser_: ill pm you | 08:23 |
| ben21 | bullgard4, what all my intervention? i don't know what to do | 08:23 |
| usr13 | greenit: In the wicd install process, it should have asked what users you wanted to add to the group netdev. RIght? | 08:23 |
| greenit | usr13: yeah, and i checked my user | 08:24 |
| greenit | usr13: like that: [*] greenit | 08:24 |
| bullgard4 | ben21: What happens if you simply press the Enter key? | 08:24 |
| ben21 | bullgard4, i get a new line | 08:24 |
| alib-da- | morning all | 08:25 |
| bullgard4 | ben21: But that is all? Ubuntu does not continue upgrading? | 08:25 |
| usr13 | greenit: Ok, you should be good to go then. Should work for you. | 08:25 |
| ben21 | bullgard4, yes exactly | 08:25 |
| greenit | usr13: and how can i create an ad-hoc wireless network? | 08:26 |
| ben21 | bullgard4, also the upgrad windows seems frozen since i can"t hide/display the terminal part | 08:26 |
| greenit | usr13: in natty narwhal, so i don't have the 3 menu-buttons in the upper left corner^^ | 08:26 |
| paspro | Question: is there a GNOME irc client that is better than xchat and similar to kvirc in features? | 08:27 |
| ben21 | paspro, better than xchat ? | 08:28 |
| paspro | ben21: yes | 08:28 |
| ben21 | paspro, ok | 08:28 |
| bullgard4 | ben21: If the upgrade windows seems frozen, this seems normal because the upgrade process should not be interrupted. | 08:28 |
| paspro | ben21: xchat is rather primitive | 08:28 |
| ben21 | bullgard4, ok that's a releaf so what now ? | 08:29 |
| ben21 | bullgard4, i sould avoid rebooting ever, maybe i'get a nice uptime then | 08:29 |
| _genuser_ | ok, time to rsyn /home and re-install. | 08:30 |
| _genuser_ | rsync | 08:30 |
| bullgard4 | ben21: I do not know how to help you. This never happed with me at my many upgrades. -- I am afraid that you will need abandoning the upgrade process. This is very deplorable. | 08:31 |

| bullgard4 | Romance: Yes. | 08:34 |
| tyreza | hello | 08:34 |
| usr13 | tyreza: fsck | 08:34 |
| tyreza | anyone there ? | 08:34 |
| usr13 | tyreza: But not while it's mounted. | 08:34 |
| tyreza | are you fool ? | 08:34 |
| Romance | bullgard4, this guy Rehan have problem with his 11.04 and nvidia ati card | 08:34 |
| tyreza | i m asking you for a command to check for filesystem | 08:34 |
| botcity | !fsck | tyreza | 08:35 |
| ubottu | tyreza: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 08:35 |
| llutz_ | couldn't someone fix that ubottu factoid please, shutdown -F won't work since upstart came into ubuntu | 08:35 |
| tyreza | no is there any other method to check ? | 08:35 |
| _genuser_ | dang it. | 08:35 |
| tyreza | filesystem | 08:35 |
| _genuser_ | using ctrl-w in console for word delete and in firefox has totally different reaction | 08:36 |

| Mrokii | Hi. When I open a Gnome-Terminal, the scrollbar on the right works as usual (plus the scrollwheel. But if I open a GNU-screen-session, the scrollbar (the button within it) is always as high as the window and I can't scroll with the mouosewheel anymore. Can this be fixed? | 08:36 |
| Jordan_U | ben21: You should also know that if needed you can re-install while preserving your home directory, even if it's not on a separate partition. | 08:36 |

| norbert_ | there's another problem that hopefully will be gone when I go to Ubuntu classic mode | 09:02 |
| norbert_ | which is that if I press the "Terminal" icon, it cannot launch twice | 09:02 |
| norbert_ | I know I can pick a new Terminal from the top in the menu, but that takes a lot more time than just clicking the icon | 09:02 |
| botcity | norbert_, unity uses the bar to the left. "sort of like that" | 09:02 |
| kezzawd | norbert_: in Unity default keyboard shortcut for a terminal window is Ctrl Alt and T | 09:03 |

| kezzawd | norbert_: you can still create desktop launchers from a right-click which will give you what you arte after | 09:04 |
| Axlin | personally, i still think they should have a "open new instance" option when you right click an icon on the launcher... at the very least :) | 09:05 |
| SerialMDK | i installed 11.04 along side win 7 and i dont get grub | 09:05 |

| usalabs | yeah, the launcher/sidebar only allows single instances, and there's no taskbar that's relied upon by progs such as cryptkeeper | 09:05 |
| ar71k | nah u can open multiple with a drag and drop | 09:06 |
| ar71k | you can open multiple programs on multiple workspace with one mouse click | 09:06 |

| Axlin | unreal_: oh, i forgt the command line, if you're interested: apt-cache depends <package> | 09:09 |
| kezzawd | ar71k: not happening for me - just getting default screen-edge behaviour for Unity | 09:09 |
| ar71k | ActionParsnip: o my bad lol | 09:09 |
| Axlin | uh.. yeah, what llutz said. sorry | 09:09 |
| usalabs | nope, dragging the icon from the launcher, to the workspace only puts it back in the launcher, tried it with different icons | 09:10 |

| ar71k | kezzawd: I am elevated right now you'll have to forgive me | 09:13 |
| stix | Axlin, I cannot select anything at the bottom of the login-screen as I used to | 09:13 |

| brandonc503 | How would I make sure that my sftp users can only access there home directory? | 09:13 |
| red2kic | brandonc503: What else than to test it yourself? ;o | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | brandonc503: it uses the unix permissions in the filesystem | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | brandonc503: so you can set the access they get with chmod and chown as if they were local :) | 09:14 |
| botcity | !classic | stix | 09:14 |
| ubottu | stix: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. | 09:14 |
| usalabs | stix: run the app 'Login Screen' in system settings -> system and select 'classic' in the session drop down, then restart pc | 09:14 |

| stix | usalabs, thanks, that must do it :) | 09:15 |
| wolfreak | I'm back,. Baskak, do you need help? | 09:16 |
| ar71k | I'm colorblind | 09:16 |
| Baskak | yes, pls | 09:16 |
| Baskak | hi, i have a failure following upgrade to 11.04. after the upgrade was on its way for some time, i have found the system in the following state: https://picasaweb.google.com/108748234852103512253/U1104upgradefailure#, and nearly frozen. no other option than "skinny elephants" seemed to work. now it doesn't start, halts on something called "plymouth", also in recovery mode. ps. fresh install... | 09:16 |
| Baskak | ...is really not a possibility to me. | 09:16 |
| FloodBot3 | Baskak: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:16 |
| Baskak | sorry | 09:16 |
| wolfreak | sorry, hold on let me read this lol i had to get my water :P. | 09:17 |
| wolfreak | Are you using a different language intentionally? | 09:18 |
| bullgard4 | How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing) | 09:18 |
| wolfreak | @Baskak, try logging out, hitting "Ubuntu Classic" at the bottom. | 09:19 |
| Baskak | wolfreak, i can start the system at all, booting stops at "plymouth" | 09:20 |
| Baskak | *can't | 09:20 |
| wolfreak | and you've tried recovery mode too? | 09:20 |
| Baskak | yes, no diff | 09:20 |
| wolfreak | the failsafe graphics mode in recovery mode? | 09:20 |
| Baskak | it doesn't reach the recovery mode menu | 09:20 |
| blackbit | but he does reach the grub item 'rescue mode' I guess | 09:21 |
| Dbugger | Hello. How can I add more workspaces in natty? | 09:21 |
| wolfreak | That's, strange.. I would go ahead and give it a reinstall, unless you already have. surely if it's a fresh install you haven't downloaded much to lose | 09:21 |
| Baskak | blackbit: ubuntu (...) 2.6.38-8-generic rescue mode (at least that's how it probably sounds in english) | 09:22 |
| Baskak | blackbit: trying again now | 09:23 |
| Baskak | wolfreak: it was an upgrade, not a fresh install | 09:23 |
| blackbit | baskak: upgrades are being a curse | 09:23 |
| Baskak | wolfreak: during my linux history i did some 20 fresh installs, and i am totally fed up | 09:24 |
| Quarterstaff | I keep getting the same error message whether I attempt to update by Terminal, synaptic or update manager. the message reads. E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/htt could not be found. Should I re-install? | 09:24 |
| blackbit | baskak: just be prepared in case something fail. have a burned ISO of the 11.04, backup of data, home and so on... | 09:24 |
| wolfreak | I understand how you feel. I created a new partition for my home and usr since I reinstalled it so much. | 09:24 |
| wolfreak | so rather than losing my files and whatnot, it just reset the system files, excluding my home folder and application files. | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfreak: your backups will prevent data loss | 09:26 |
| Baskak | blackbit: sorry, it doesn't seem an option for a workstation... maybe for testing alphas and betas. i need to repair. update: now the system loops on "failed to enumerate usb device..." | 09:26 |
| wolfreak | @ActionParsnip Yeah I know, but I mean like when you go reinstalling ubuntu you have to format the partition, so I have a dedicated partition to my home folder. :P | 09:27 |
| wolfreak | @Baskak, try posting a post on http://reddit.com/u/ubuntu | 09:28 |
| Baskak | wolfreak: thanks, you think no appropriate expert here? | 09:29 |
| Baskak | or try again here another time? | 09:29 |
| blackbit | baskak, try ubuntu forums and google, I bet the online community will be able to help you | 09:30 |
| wolfreak | No some are experts here, but it's night at the US and other places. | 09:30 |
| Baskak | wolfreak: ps. this address http://reddit.com/u/ubuntu is wrong... | 09:30 |
| wolfreak | http://reddit.com/r/ubuntu that's it, sorry haha. | 09:30 |
| Baskak | wolfreak: i see :) | 09:30 |
| Baskak | thx | 09:31 |
| wolfreak | don't try ubuntuforums, they don't ever help, they just leave you hanging then mark you solved even tho it wasn't. use linuxforums. | 09:31 |
| Baskak | thanks for advice and concern anyway :) | 09:31 |
| wolfreak | @baskak but yeah I'd go ahead and make a post on reddit, that's a very popular site and you'll be sure to have quite a few replies inthe morning =] | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfreak: if you drop the @ symbol it will highlight the text | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfreak: the drive can still fail, then no manner of seperate partitioning will save you | 09:33 |
| usalabs | To remind everyone, there is a bug in Natty seahorse that prevents uploading an SSH key to remote server, it has been reported | 09:33 |
| wolfreak | what do you mean highlight? lol. | 09:34 |
| wolfreak | and I know i can lose my stuff but I do back it up once every month or so. | 09:34 |
| wfstgfds | hi | 09:34 |
| blackbit | wolfreak: just use 2 hard disks in raid :) | 09:35 |
| blackbit | or simply 2 hard disks manually mirrorer | 09:35 |
| andeeeuk | hi everyone | 09:35 |
| wolfreak | I'm not that concerned about my data.all I really do is use firefox, listen to music on grooveshark, and download porn. I'm not like running a server or anything lol | 09:36 |
| andeeeuk | is it possible to edit the panel at the top and also the menu? | 09:36 |
| jatt | andeeeuk: no, it's not possible to edit the top panel in unity | 09:36 |
| andeeeuk | jatt ok thanks | 09:37 |
| fardad | I don't have an ICEauthority file and I can't log in into gnome-shell, what should I do? | 09:37 |
| wolfreak | andeeeuk: not in unity, but if you log out, hit "ubuntu classic" at the bottom, you'll get the classic gnome look. | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfreak: I guess, just warning :). Groovshark FTW | 09:37 |
| andeeeuk | jatt does that go for the menu also? | 09:37 |
| jatt | andeeeuk: yes, you cannot move it for example | 09:37 |
| andeeeuk | wolfreak yeah, I do like unity so was going to stick with it for a while | 09:38 |
| wolfreak | Your choice haha. | 09:38 |
| andeeeuk | jatt i know you cannot move it i was just thinking of transparency and stuff like that | 09:38 |
| andeeeuk | its all good | 09:38 |
| andeeeuk | was suprised how good unity was | 09:39 |
| === amigo_ is now known as Guest67474 | ||
| usalabs | andeeeuk don't know what he's let himself in for lol, unity?, yeah right!, I use gnome classic and always will :) | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | usalabs: gone | 09:41 |
| fardad | how can I regenerate the .ICEauthority file? | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | fardad: did you delete yours? | 09:41 |
| kezzawd | usalabs: you are assuming that there will always be a 'gnome classic' | 09:41 |
| ReBoot | Hi guys. | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | hi ReBoot | 09:42 |
| wolfreak | ActionParsnip: haha heck yeah, if you have a GS account feel free to add me man, http://grooveshark.com/#/user/wolfreak/3512811?src=5 | 09:42 |
| ReBoot | Am I at the right place asking technical questions about Ubuntu? | 09:42 |
| wolfreak | yup | 09:42 |
| fardad | ActionParsnip: I didn't have it in the first place | 09:42 |
| ReBoot | Nice. | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfreak: nar I just use it, no account | 09:42 |
| serhat2 | Hi. I am using Ubuntu 10.04, and I accidentally wrote "sudo rm -rf /var/*" and pressed enter. I had used sudo recently so it didnt ask for a password either, and the command ran for about 10 seconds till I woke up: ) So, How do I prevent executing commands like "sudo rm -rf /*" or with /usr/* /var/* etc.. even with sudo ? thx.. | 09:42 |
| fardad | ActionParsnip: And now it say can't update /home/username/.ICEauthority | 09:42 |
| ReBoot | So, I can't install it. Or I can, but not really. Let me explain. | 09:42 |
| fardad | ActionParsnip: s/say/says/ | 09:42 |
| usalabs | well, if Ubuntu completely removes gnome, then it's time to move to either Mint, OpenSuse, or one of the others | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | fardad: its a standard file | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | fardad: try touching the file | 09:43 |
| fardad | ActionParsnip: tried it, still says can't update | 09:43 |
| ReBoot | The latest Ubuntu seems not to install the boot manager. I have Windows 7 installed, told Ubuntu to install side by side with 7, the installer runs through, at the end where I'm supposed to press Enter to restart, I press enter | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | usalabs: just use a different DE... | 09:43 |
| red2kic | serhat2: "sudo rm -rfi" -- Or add that to your alias so bad things don't always happen to nice people. | 09:43 |
| ReBoot | And after the reboot, there's no sign of Ubuntu at all. No boot manager, nothing. | 09:43 |
| helpmenowplease | hi. I have the black screen problem when upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 | 09:43 |
| red2kic | I took a big risk assuming you're a nice person though. | 09:43 |
| helpmenowplease | I've googled and found some misc solutions | 09:43 |
| helpmenowplease | is there some official solution/fix? | 09:44 |
| serhat2 | is there a way to prevent that kind of misdeletion with SELinux or something? | 09:44 |
| usalabs | Reboot, try installing Ubuntu with wubi | 09:44 |
| ReBoot | Did it | 09:44 |
| ReBoot | The performance is horrible | 09:44 |
| ReBoot | I'd like to go native | 09:44 |
| === anonymous is now known as Guest17256 | ||
| ReBoot | I was also going to wipe Windows if Ubuntu meets my needs | 09:45 |
| ReBoot | So I'd like not to use Wubi | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | fardad: as far as I know, that should be generated when you first login | 09:45 |
| red2kic | ReBoot: Try Ubuntu LTS 10.04 if you want to go native. >_> | 09:46 |
| brandonc503 | ActionParsnip: they can only manipulate files in there home directory as is, but they can see the entire file structure on computer | 09:46 |
| ReBoot | Can I upgrade from that to the latest Ubuntu then? | 09:46 |
| usalabs | ReBoot: you could try installing Ubuntu inside a virtual machine to try it out, using free VMware player | 09:46 |
| fardad | ActionParsnip: so there should be a problem with permissions? | 09:46 |
| red2kic | ReBoot: Sure. (Many people hate upgrades though). | 09:46 |
| ReBoot | Hm. Will try that later. | 09:47 |
| ReBoot | What's the downside of upgrading? | 09:47 |

| ojii | how do I move a window to another workspace in unity? In 10.10 I'd just right-click->move to workspace X | 09:48 |
| helpmenowplease | thanks, will take a look | 09:48 |
| usalabs | ojii: right click the app title bar | 09:50 |
| === Chat6910 is now known as magicmonty | ||
| ojii | usalabs, right click does nothing there | 09:50 |
| usalabs | mmm, I just tried it on Xchat title bar, and I have a selection of move to another workspace, and has a choice of 2,3,4 | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | brandonc503: http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/howtos_sftp_scp_only.html maybe | 09:51 |
| bromium | dear colleagues, please help configure dansguardian with privoxy on lubuntu 10.10 - i've done accroding to howtos, but either privoxy isn't used or doesn't let me go through it. i suspect there arte problems with iptables rules | 09:52 |
| ma2 | How do you run Terminal in English interface while i am using a locale other than English? | 09:52 |
| jatt | LANG=en_US.utf8 gnome-terminal | 09:53 |
| usalabs | ojii: if the app is full screen, then click the 3rd icon on the left of the title bar to come off full screen, then you should be able to right click the apps title bar | 09:53 |
| JenniferB2 | After upgrading to 11.04, I have run into several issues.. first one was that the / would not mount and could not start the computer... now that Ive solved it, I am logged in but my gnome panel is gone.. and windows has no frame with X,... | 09:54 |
| === debd is now known as popup | ||
| popup | what's the besic differences of nautilus elementary? | 09:55 |
| blackbit | jeniffer82: what do you mean by no frame? | 09:55 |
| bromium | how to make lubuntu automatically connects to wi-fi network on my eee pc 701? | 09:55 |
| ojii | usalabs, wow that's *really* intuitive :( | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | bromium: you set it in network manager (or whatever app you use) | 09:55 |
| JenniferB2 | blackbit: no window frame where the x (to close the window is ) ... also the gnome panel menus are gone | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | JenniferB2: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace | 09:56 |
| brandonc503 | restrict SFTP to a user's home directory do i need a chroot enviroment, or can it be down with permissions? | 09:56 |
| JenniferB2 | but those I have been able to start by running gnome-panel from console | 09:56 |
| usalabs | ojii: on the left of the title bar you have a red x, a minus and a squarre,,, click the square to come out of full screen | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | JenniferB2: that bit is called the window decorator | 09:56 |
| llutz_ | brandonc503: you'll need a chroot | 09:56 |
| JenniferB2 | ActionParsnip: thanks... | 09:56 |
| JenniferB2 | will I have to do that everytime I start the computer ? | 09:57 |
| blackbit | jeniffer82: of course not. If something didn't went well after upgrade (common occurrence) then burn an iso of 11.04, backup your data and do a fresh install | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | JenniferB2: seems you ae having issue with compiz, do you use an nvidia video chip? | 09:57 |
| ojii | usalabs, I know how to get out of full screen mode (I prefer double-rightclick), I just find it really odd that I have to do that to move it to another workspace, ideally I'd be able to drag it but maybe that's asking too much | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | blackbit: probably not needed, lets see | 09:57 |
| JenniferB2 | ActionParsnip: yes.. | 09:58 |
| bromium | ActionParsnip: thanks, u'r right. it was simple & done | 09:58 |
| ultimatecoolstar | . | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | JenniferB2: uninstall the nvidia driver and reboot, then install it again and it may be better. Proprietary drivers aren't very good when people change release and they usually come round when you boot to the new kernel branch and install them | 09:58 |
| bromium | can sill anybody help me with privoxy? my comp is connected to a wi-fi network (i'm using a wifi router). i wnat to set up on my kids' comp privoxy and dansguardian. but no success so far | 09:59 |
| usalabs | ojii, I just tried the drag method it works, but only if the app is windowed | 09:59 |
| ojii | usalabs, didn't for me :( | 09:59 |
| ojii | guess I'll just stick to single-workspace mode | 10:00 |
| bullgard4 | How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing) | 10:00 |

| maxillusionist | what is this called privoxy should i google it | 10:00 |
| maxillusionist | coz i have not used such things | 10:00 |
| kellnola | it's a proxy. | 10:00 |
| === blueghost is now known as SingRedFighBlack | ||
| maxillusionist | ok kellnola | 10:00 |
| ojii | also, is there any hack out yet to move the damn 'unitybar'? I have a 4 screen setup + synergy. now the bar is in the middle of my screens and hard to 'activate' | 10:00 |
| kellnola | bromium, what is the problem? been a while since I used it, but it's pretty basic ... | 10:00 |
| bromium | well, i've read articles and manuals accroding to them squid is slower than privoxy | 10:01 |
| dxdemetriou | can I have the old-per-window-menubar back in unity to be the default? (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/27688/) | 10:01 |
| bromium | the problem i doesn't work | 10:01 |
| kellnola | bromium, hmm. privoxy is not the heavyweight program squid is ... it might be faster for a little lan | 10:01 |
| bromium | looks like i've got to set up iptables, too. done as in manuals - no connection, no internet or no proxibiting bad sites | 10:01 |
| tuhin | my usb to ps2 mouse+keyboard converter sometimes dont work , but works after restart. Is there any command to re-caliberate/reinstall certain usb keyboard/mouse without restarting computer? | 10:01 |
| maxillusionist | kellnola it is squid proxy then bromium wats the prob | 10:02 |
| usalabs | ojii, click on the workspace switcher, then drag the windowed app across to a workspace,, it works for me that way too | 10:02 |
| eevar | my dist-upgrade is currently "installing the upgrades", and lists "About 15 hours remaining". top/vmstat output here: http://pastebin.com/56Cp9hd1 -- any suggestions? | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | tuhin: could try removing then reloading the modules, it would need a keyboard though... | 10:02 |
| tuhin | i m on laptop | 10:02 |
| kellnola | bromium, but squid is simple enough to configure with dansguardian | 10:02 |
| tuhin | but use external keyboard, mouse and monitor ActionParsnip | 10:03 |
| eevar | the disk does seem very slow most of the time. crappy laptop | 10:03 |
| bromium | i need privoxy only for a local machine to make it work with dansquardian | 10:03 |
| maxillusionist | bromium could you tell me why u need privoxy | 10:03 |
| ojii | ah thanks usalabs, still seems a bit too hard for such a trivial task, but that's nicer | 10:03 |
| usalabs | glad I could help | 10:03 |
| kellnola | bromium, my brief experience with privoxy about ten years ago was that it is flaky | 10:03 |
| bromium | kellnola: privoxy is also simple in settings, but nothing works. i even tried tinyproxy. looks like i'm doing something wrong. i suspect i can't setup iptables correctly | 10:03 |
| === robins is now known as robinsmidsrod | ||
| bromium | ok, any suggestions? i know that privoxy works as an adblock, too. what i need is a lightweight simple solution for parental control | 10:04 |
| Mrokii | Can somebody tell me how I can use indicators in 11.04 (adding them to the menubar)? I don't seem to find anything about it. | 10:04 |
| kellnola | bromium, yes, well when you're doing things like this it's best to disable the firewall temporarily until you get everything working | 10:04 |
| bromium | but this seems to be a pain in the ass on ubuntu | 10:04 |
| bromium | tried several things, though | 10:04 |
| jatt | Mrokii: which indicators? | 10:05 |
| bromium | firewall? what firewall i'm not using any unless there's a preinstalled one in lubuntu | 10:05 |
| kellnola | bromium, you mentioned iptables | 10:05 |
| mutante | bromium: iptables -vL should show you counters, like how many packets are actually filtered by the rules.. you can start that, try doing stuff, and watch the counters changing,, so you know if its that or not | 10:05 |
| maxillusionist | firewall is already installed with it | 10:06 |
| kezzawd | Mrokii: if you apt-cache search indicator you'll see a number of packages that yopu can install to give you indicators - there are also a number of ppa's for third party indicators at http://bit.ly/mTLbRa | 10:06 |
| maxillusionist | with all linux | 10:06 |
| JenniferB2 | blackbit: yes.. but the problem with an approach like that I usually all the config files in various places will eb lost ... it is never that simple .. | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | bromium: there is but its unconfigured so lets everything in and out | 10:06 |
| Arney | Throttleling seems to be broken in my computer. | 10:06 |
| Mrokii | jatt, kezzawd: the problem is not "installing" but actually "using" them. I have installed a sysmonitor-indicator but I don't know how I can make it show up. | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | bromium: well, by default anyway | 10:06 |
| usalabs | ojii: you can also use the same method for full screen apps too | 10:07 |
| maxillusionist | wat is that called throttle in linux | 10:07 |
| ojii | oh nice | 10:07 |
| Arney | My computer runs fine when it is plugged, but lags its shit off when its running on battery. | 10:07 |
| jatt | Mrokii: you mean applets? like weather or system monitor applet? | 10:07 |
| Fahmida | Hi, where does Ubuntu temporarily store videos from Youtube and similar sites? | 10:07 |
| Mrokii | jatt: Aren't they called indicators in 11.04? | 10:07 |
| kellnola | Fahmida, /tmp I believe | 10:07 |
| ojii | usalabs, thanks a lot, that's how i want it ;-) | 10:07 |
| Mrokii | jatt: And yes, that is what I mean. | 10:07 |
| Arney | Mrokii: where do I adjust those | 10:08 |
| maxillusionist | fahmida it is in temp i guess | 10:08 |
| kezzawd | Mrokii: just search for it as an application and execute | 10:08 |
| maxillusionist | go to file manager then to temp | 10:08 |
| jakeriver | . | 10:08 |
| usalabs | ojii: yw | 10:08 |
| Fahmida | kellnola maxillusionist: Yeah, it was in /temp at first, but currently I see nothing in directory. :S | 10:08 |
| Mrokii | kezzawd: okay, I will try that, thanks. | 10:08 |
| Arney | How can I make my comp go hard core all the way? | 10:08 |
| Fahmida | Sorry, /tmp | 10:08 |
| Mrokii | Arney: That was my question :) | 10:08 |
| kellnola | Fahmida, make sure you do "ls -a" or enable viewing hidden files in nautilus | 10:09 |
| bromium | so in order to run a browser through proxy just changing browser settings doesn't work | 10:09 |
| NAAAAWW | yt | 10:09 |
| maxillusionist | fahmida u doewnloaded those with firefox ?? | 10:09 |
| Mrokii | kezzawd: Thank you! That worked. Not too intuitive method though, but oh well. | 10:09 |
| NAAAAWW | My computers batery last longer in windows then in Ubuntu (Linux) Why is that? | 10:10 |
| Fahmida | kellnola: I did perform ls -a, nothing. maxillusionist: yeah. | 10:10 |
| maxillusionist | bromium have u tried foxyproxy | 10:10 |

| jetienne | maxillusionist: to install 11.04 ? any special option ? | 10:40 |
| maxillusionist | u mean what ?? | 10:41 |
| jetienne | maxillusionist: you said you used virtual box on win, did you try to install ubuntu 11.04 with virtual box ? | 10:41 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: if you're putting it in vbox, i would download the alternate cd ISo...... since vbox doesn't support 3D out of the box.. a lot of people had trouble using the Live ISO in vbox (during the beta, not sure if thats changed) | 10:41 |
| maxillusionist | no dude i have not downloaded it LOL | 10:42 |
| maxillusionist | it is still beta version i guess | 10:42 |
| KM0201 | maxillusionist: no, 11.04 is fina; | 10:42 |
| KM0201 | l | 10:42 |
| maxillusionist | what is the download size | 10:42 |
| jetienne | KM0201: ok... this is for the install... once it is installed with the alternate cd, is it possible to run it (even with the 3D issue) ? | 10:42 |
| jetienne | maxillusionist: 700mbyte | 10:43 |
| usalabs | maxillusionist: I prefer to use the free VMware player it has a lot more features than vbox | 10:43 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: as far as i know.. yes... because once you get tot he sign on screen (don't set auto login) you can choose to default to gnome classic. | 10:43 |
| jetienne | KM0201: oh ok | 10:43 |
| maxillusionist | uselabs i personally use vmware workstn LOL | 10:43 |
| KM0201 | usalabs: thats not gonna help his problem, vmware player doesnt support 3D any better than vbox. | 10:43 |
| jetienne | KM0201: so the rewritten X requires 3D cards.... | 10:43 |
| jetienne | KM0201: anyway to try the new ubuntu without dedicating a computer to it ? | 10:44 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: for now, because the live CD (at least in my experience.. and thus why so many folks are having trouble w/ live cds) doesn't default to a 2D desktop yet, if 3D desktop fails. | 10:44 |
| maxillusionist | vmware player needs and virtual machine to play | 10:44 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: well, there's virtualbox, if your computer has the juice for it. | 10:44 |
| usalabs | when I use VMware player, I have played a windows 3D game (need for speed) with no problems | 10:44 |
| usalabs | VMware player can create a VM, one doesn't need the workstation | 10:45 |

| mah454 | I need libpoppler7 for naty . | 10:45 |
| jetienne | KM0201: hmmm maybe miscommunication... you said 'unity' stuff requires 3D card and that vbox doesnt support 3D cards... so how could i use vbox | 10:45 |
| maxillusionist | yeah now one can do that userlabs | 10:45 |
| jetienne | KM0201: live cd == dedicating a computer to it in my words | 10:45 |
| kellnola | vbox supports 3D. Don't know how well | 10:45 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: by doing what i said, using the alternate cd to install in vbox, then booting the 2d desktop | 10:45 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: no, thats not what it means.. live cd, means booting the OS from the cd, and running it from the CD | 10:46 |
| kellnola | this whole "requiring 3D" was an enormous mistake | 10:46 |
| jetienne | KM0201: and '2D desktop' = gnome ? | 10:46 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: yes.. 2d- as of now, = Gnome | 10:46 |
| jetienne | ah ok | 10:46 |
| jetienne | so i need a dedicated computer to install it | 10:46 |
| jetienne | or i can use ubuntu server | 10:47 |

| KM0201 | jetienne: thats not really what that means... that would be a dedicated install, because the computer is stil capable of booting other OS's.. | 10:59 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: dedicated=only | 10:59 |
| liunx | how to show the tray on unity? | 11:00 |
| jetienne | KM0201: just a matter of working | 11:00 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: well.. sorry, how you're saying it is not correct. | 11:00 |
| liunx | i want to use iptux etc, but when i close it, i can not see the tray on the up right frame. | 11:00 |
| jetienne | KM0201: 'when running 11.04, your box is doing only that, so it is dedicated to it' <- seems correct no ? | 11:00 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: just as an example... if you were coming here asking for install help.. and you told thenm you were dedicating a machine to ubuntu.. you'd get instructions to completely wipe the drive and install only Ubuntu"... if you wanted to dual boot, you would lose windows. | 11:01 |
| drdozer | how can I get my machine working again? | 11:01 |
| ThinkT510 | jetienne: not quite, you can install vms inside 11.04 | 11:01 |
| jetienne | ThinkT510: hehe :) | 11:01 |
| KM0201 | zvacet: the alt cd has been an installer for a long time. | 11:01 |
| KM0201 | or did i misunderstand? | 11:01 |
| jetienne | KM0201: i understand your definition of dedicated. | 11:01 |
| jetienne | KM0201: relax this is just a matter of wording | 11:01 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: its not my definition of dedicated.. its the english language definition of dedicated.. there's a huge difference in what you're saying, and the word dedicated... i just didn't want them confused. | 11:02 |
| jetienne | KM0201: 'when running 11.04, your box is doing only that, so it is dedicated to it' <- seems correct no ? | 11:02 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: no, that is not correct | 11:02 |
| jetienne | KM0201: ok no arguement | 11:02 |
| ThinkT510 | jetienne: stop trolling | 11:02 |
| jetienne | i gave my feedback | 11:02 |
| KM0201 | that would be a dedicated install (that does not require windows to run)... as i said.... | 11:02 |
| jetienne | ThinkT510: stop insulting | 11:02 |
| jetienne | ThinkT510: seriously, im being kind and all | 11:03 |
| jetienne | ThinkT510: so dont insulte me | 11:03 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: a dedicated machine... is a machine(ie, entire computer) that is dedicated to ubuntu. | 11:03 |
| KM0201 | i don't know how much more clear i can make it | 11:03 |
| jetienne | KM0201: relax i understood. you just considere the drive of the box | 11:03 |
| jetienne | KM0201: im considering the cpu this is nothing | 11:03 |
| ThinkT510 | jetienne: i didn't mean to insult you, i apologise; but you are misusing the term dedicated | 11:04 |
| manu_44 | Hello, could someone let me know where I can manage the FTP default handler on Natt Narwhal please ? | 11:04 |
| KM0201 | jetienne: no i don't... i think there's a communicatino barrier here.. maybe you don't grasp what the word "dedicated" means | 11:04 |
| jetienne | KM0201: hehe ok | 11:04 |
| jetienne | ThinkT510: forgotten | 11:04 |
| jetienne | KM0201: no need to argue | 11:04 |

| rzx237 | why network-manager indicator on natty can't display multiple configuration of my wireless connection? is it a bug? | 11:07 |

| manu_44 | KM0201 : I did that already | 11:08 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: i don't think he actually wants nautilus (as unity uses nautilus)... i think he wants gnome 2.2 | 11:08 |
| misse- | mikebeecham: do you just want to change the wallpaper for gdm or the whole theme? | 11:08 |
| KM0201 | manu_44: and..? | 11:08 |

| skiwithpete | KM0201, areyou there? | 11:08 |
| mikebeecham | misse-, didnt know I could do either :D How? | 11:08 |
| KM0201 | skiwithpete: yes.. | 11:08 |
| jetienne | ActionParsnip: oh ? you tried ? or got successfull story on it ? | 11:08 |
| ThinkT510 | !gnome3 | sachin | 11:08 |
| ubottu | sachin: 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. | 11:08 |
| manu_44 | ActionParsnip : browsed this page already, without success, the ftp key doesn't appear and when i manually add it, it doesn't even work | 11:08 |
| sachin | hi | 11:08 |

| liunx | hello, | 11:09 |
| sachin | i know but f they have provided the ppa,then there must be solution to run it.properly ,i guess | 11:09 |
| g4 | ActionParsn: ati with ati catalyst driver | 11:09 |
| KM0201 | skiwithpete: ok... | 11:09 |
| skiwithpete | is there a command to do that? | 11:09 |
| sachin | @linux-hi | 11:09 |
| liunx | how can i show the tray in the titile bar when i use iptux etc.? | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | g4: uninstall the catalyst, then reboot, then reinstall it. Proprietary drivers don't usually work after release changes | 11:09 |
| g4 | ActionParsn: ok, thanks for the top | 11:10 |
| KM0201 | skiwithpete: answer your PM.. i don't really follow what you're saying | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | manu_44: so the solution by lamelos doesn't solve it? | 11:10 |

| popo | do i need to mount ausb drive in ubuntu? | 11:36 |
| ThinkT510 | drdozer: ah.. i don't know how to fix that, looks like grub needs to be reinstalled | 11:36 |
| geektech713 | I did run the USB drive after restart | 11:37 |
| drdozer | ThinkT510: ok, and it can´t be reinstalled from within grub? | 11:37 |

| agronholm | boot: I get the same error | 11:39 |
| jheyes | naike: how do i find out? | 11:39 |
| vibhav | <jheyes> I recommend a fresh install | 11:39 |
| jheyes | vibhav: why a fresh install? does the upgrade not work very well? | 11:39 |
| naike | jheyes if you dont know chances are you dont have the same motherboard i have :P | 11:39 |
| KM0201 | jheyes: upgrading always poses risks. | 11:39 |
| boot | it is working 4.0.1 in windows | 11:40 |
| jheyes | KM0201: do you recommend i stick with what i am running right now? | 11:40 |
| agronholm | boot: not for me | 11:40 |
| agronholm | boot: I don't get the error on IE8 though | 11:40 |
| ThinkT510 | drdozer: no worries, i got stuck at a rescue prompt too, so i found the ubuntu wiki helpful, thats where i was getting the info to help you from | 11:40 |
| vibhav | <jheyes> It did not work well with me | 11:40 |
| KM0201 | jheyes: no, i just recommend you always be prepared BEFORE upgrading.. so if something happens... you won't cry for days over lost data when you have to reinstall | 11:40 |
| vibhav | <jheyes> A fresh install is better | 11:40 |
| drMike | how can I restore all databases into mysql from one that was backed up via: mysqldump -A --add-drop-table -u root | gzip > $OUTFILE | 11:40 |
| jheyes | KM0201: you mean do a backup first? | 11:40 |
| boot | u need java version Version 6 Update 25 | 11:40 |
| vibhav | <jheyes> yes | 11:41 |
| boot | then it will work in windows | 11:41 |
| KM0201 | jheyes: i mean if you have important data on the machine, yes, back it up befor eupgrading | 11:41 |
| * KM0201 thought that was computer 101 | 11:41 | |
| vibhav | <jheyes> A fresh install has less chances of failure | 11:41 |
| jheyes | vibhav: okay i will back it up first | 11:41 |
| jheyes | thanks for the warning everyone! | 11:41 |
| KM0201 | jheyes: but i do agree vibhav i always clean install.. i've not "upgraded" linux in 10yrs | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: you'd be suprised how many have "important" data but zero backup | 11:41 |
| jheyes | KM0201: it is tempting to click that upgrade button though :) | 11:42 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: lol. it's obviously very "important"..lol | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: exactly..people love learning the hard way | 11:42 |
| Browser | Hi | 11:42 |
| vibhav | <KM0201> A fresh install always gives you that "new computer feeling" | 11:42 |
| KM0201 | jheyes: well, gotta use common sense.. remember, all computer problems start w/ the bozo pounding on the keys... :0 | 11:42 |
| jheyes | KM0201: what are you running? | 11:42 |
| dasfefg | hi | 11:43 |
| KM0201 | jheyes: lubuntu right now... i might switch back to debian, but i'm kinda digging lubuntu righ tnow | 11:43 |
| jheyes | KM0201: cool | 11:43 |
| agronholm | boot: fails here on firefox 4.0.1 with java 6 update 25 | 11:43 |
| jheyes | KM0201: i'm on kubuntu 64-bit... | 11:43 |
| jheyes | KM0201: everything is working nicely so i don't want to ruin my setup by upgrading to 11.04 | 11:44 |
| boot | but on my side in windows site is working perfectly but in ubuntu not | 11:44 |
| KM0201 | jheyes: well, it really doesn't amtter what you're upgrading, if its linux or windows, or DOS.. you shoudl always backup prior to doing it | 11:44 |
| agronholm | boot: I cannot fix the site for you -- try any other site and you will see that javascript is enabled and working fine | 11:44 |
| KM0201 | boot: can you providce a link? | 11:45 |
| agronholm | KM0201: http://edudel.nic.in/mis/MisAdmin/frmMisLogin.aspx | 11:45 |
| boot | yes | 11:45 |
| KM0201 | boot: well, i get a User ID/Password screen.. but that does little good to check the problem | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | agronholm: loads here in Windows + Chrome | 11:45 |
| agronholm | KM0201: try any combination | 11:46 |
| boot | in internet explorer 8 the site is alo working perfectly ok | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | agronholm: Java Script Disabled on your browser. Please Enable it. | 11:46 |
| agronholm | ActionParsnip: so it doesn't work on chrome after all? | 11:46 |
| KM0201 | agronholm: yup, thats what i got | 11:46 |
| champ__ | Hello everybody. I am running ubuntu 10.10 with restricted exras installed. my problem is i am unable play videos apple.com,etc | 11:46 |
| boot | can u also check the site in internet explorer | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | agronholm: is that what you get? I'm on Chrome here | 11:46 |
| boot | ? | 11:46 |
| mun | hi | 11:46 |
| agronholm | ActionParsnip: yup, javascript disabled please enable | 11:46 |
| agronholm | on any browser other than IE | 11:47 |
| Jasonn | champ__: Do you have flash player installed? | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | champ__: add the medibuntu ppa and install w32codecs (I assume 32bit OS) | 11:47 |
| mun | if i've changed my ubuntu one password, how do i change it on my desktop? i can't seem to find a way to logout in the preferences. | 11:47 |
| champ__ | Jasonn:yes | 11:47 |
| KM0201 | you really shouldn't need medibuntu anymore, but it works just as well.. | 11:47 |
| Jasonn | champ__: Is it enabled?? | 11:47 |
| boot | i check again only in internet explorer site is working | 11:47 |
| KM0201 | boot: hold on | 11:48 |
| agronholm | boot: that's what I thought too | 11:48 |
| champ__ | <Jasonn> yes | 11:48 |
| boot | i don't know what the problem | 11:48 |
| agronholm | boot: I already explained what the problem is | 11:48 |
| agronholm | did you miss that line? | 11:48 |
| Jasonn | champ__: And you are sure you dont have more than one flahs "player" installed? | 11:48 |
| boot | so whyt site is working in internet explorer | 11:48 |
| boot | internet explorer 8? | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | agronholm: check with: http://www.isjavascriptenabled.com/ | 11:48 |
| champ__ | Jasonn: how do i check it ?.. | 11:48 |
| agronholm | ActionParsnip: not my problem...I'm helping boot out here | 11:48 |
| KM0201 | boot: hold on a second.. jeez.. learn a little patience | 11:48 |
| Jasonn | champ__: go on the browser and type this in in the addr bar: about:plugins | 11:49 |
| agronholm | boot: because internet explorer works case insensitively with document.getElementById() | 11:49 |
| boot | ok | 11:49 |
| agronholm | the others do not | 11:49 |
| boot | so the main is with site | 11:49 |
| agronholm | main what? | 11:50 |
| champ__ | Jasonn: it shows a list.. | 11:50 |
| Jasonn | champ__: Yeah, look for flash player, and make sure it is enabled | 11:50 |
| boot | so the problem is with the site | 11:50 |
| agronholm | boot: yes, like I told you already. | 11:50 |
| agronholm | I don't understand why people use Internet Explorer so much in India | 11:50 |
| agronholm | and China too | 11:51 |
| Jasonn | agronholm: Because there is a lot of people xD | 11:51 |
| jatt | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Internet-explorer-usage-data.svg | 11:51 |
| agronholm | Jasonn: that has what to do with browser market share? | 11:51 |
| boot | i am using firefox for more than 3years | 11:51 |
| champ__ | Jasonn: could u be more specific ? | 11:52 |
| boot | but if the creator don't create the website supporting it | 11:52 |
| KM0201 | boot: has it worked previously with linux? | 11:52 |
| agronholm | boot: yes but clearly that site was only tested with IE | 11:52 |

| sec_goat | I am currently using Lubuntu 10.10 if I click upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 does that change what ever makes Lubuntu more light weight? | 11:54 |
| Jasonn | sec_goat: This is the Ubuntu channel, we dont support Lubuntu | 11:55 |
| KM0201 | sec_goat: no, it upgrades you to lubuntu 11.04 | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | literally_barry: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 11:55 |
| sec_goat | Jasonn: my bad, I did realize there was a difference | 11:55 |

| Jasonn | sec_goat: Nah, its alright mate, its just made by a different comany | 11:56 |
| literally_barry | Yeah, I've checked, the torrent also did re-checking, and it matched. | 11:56 |
| literally_barry | boot: you only need to set a password for root to enable it (iirc) like this: sudo passwd root | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | literally_barry: ok and are you using CD or USB to install? | 11:56 |
| KM0201 | boot: ubuntu doesn't use root | 11:56 |
| KM0201 | !sudo | boot | 11:56 |
| ubottu | boot: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 11:56 |

| ActionParsnip | !noroot | literally_barry | 11:56 |
| ubottu | literally_barry: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 11:56 |
| literally_barry | ActionParsnip: I am using a CD. | 11:56 |

| EClaesson | In 10.10 which i ran until about now, dropbox showed an icon in the top right of my screen which showed its status and had a drop down menu. Now in Narval, i don't know how to get it there. In 10.10 the icon automatically appeared when i started dropbox. | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | literally_barry: DON'T tell people how to mess up their systems with root passwords and such in future | 11:57 |
| Jasonn | Lopyshok: On your Ubuntu machine | 11:57 |
| Jasonn | ? | 11:57 |
| literally_barry | ActionParsnip: Sorry, I wasn't fully aware of the rules here. | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | literally_barry: did you burn the CD as slowly as you were allowed? | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | literally_barry: did you make the CD chec itself for defects once the boot starts? | 11:57 |
| boot | and how to install ati 5770 drivers | 11:57 |
| literally_barry | ActionParsnip: I did not. I'm going to let this idle, return to another system and do that. Cheers for the help. I'll be back if I don't have any success. =P | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | literally_barry: did you test your RAM? | 11:58 |
| literally_barry | ActionParsnip: RAM is tested, it's ECC. This system is only about a month old. | 11:58 |

| boot | as i dowloaded the latest drivers of ati 5770 | 11:58 |

| ezrafree | thank you | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ezrafree: you can only upgrade from Maverick, otherwise you will need to upgrade to the intermittent releases to get there | 11:59 |
| dupondje | rsnapshot ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL => If I have this in sudoers, rsnapshot should be able to run sudo command without giving the password right ? | 11:59 |
| boot | but when i enable the restricted drivers ati 5770 it is working and enabled | 11:59 |
| g4 | after doing an upgrade, emerald doesn't seem to work and I'm missing window decoration. Any advice on how to add window decoration again? | 11:59 |

| elisa87 | how can I run matlab2011 in ubuntu? | 12:12 |

| ActionParsnip | Vishal_: reinstall maverick | 12:36 |
| tasslehoff | hm. I don't like that shotwell started creating a library from the Pictures folder even before I had told where I wanted it to look.. | 12:37 |
| champ__ | ActionParsnip:gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is already the newest version. | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | tasslehoff: the first dialogue had a tick box to add pictures from $HOME/Pictures you must have missed that | 12:37 |
| pauru | Ubuntu has become really crappy you know? | 12:38 |
| tasslehoff | ActionParsnip: Could be. I'll delete the config dir and start over | 12:38 |
| pauru | Man i miss the old distros | 12:38 |
| Vishal_ | it's becoming more like windows and mac... using up alot of resources.. | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | pauru: don't use it then, there are plenty of linux based distros around to choose from | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Vishal_: use LXDE instead of gnome, uses very little then | 12:39 |
| jatt | slackware is still around | 12:39 |
| Vishal_ | i'll check it out action. | 12:39 |
| sipior | Tyred: yes, but what's the question. i mean, what qualifies as "slow speeds", what have you tried to fix the problem, &cet. "i'm having problems" doesn't give us much to go on, i'm afraid. | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | could also try BSD | 12:40 |
| Vishal_ | i need gui for exam week. shiet... | 12:40 |

| jjlee | jcmarini: what are you doing to try to burn DVDs? What happened when you did that? | 12:54 |

| Lcawte | Hi, I'm in the process of upgrading to 11.04, but my PC crashed near the end of the installing new packages section, and I try to boot back in, but I just get flahing lights on my keyboard, how can I complete teh upgrade or fix it? Syslog: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/602225/ (Its scroll log and caps lock flashin) | 12:54 |
| Crazy | can anyone help me?? | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | pauru: then how do you expect the developers to know there is an issue if you haven't told them? | 12:54 |
| GeorgeJ | I'm having an issue with .ICEauthority, when logging into the gnome-shell it says it cannot update it. I've both chowned it to myself and chmodded it to 777. still nothing | 12:54 |
| thien | Dr_Willis: how? | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Lcawte: if a live cd works. I would suggest backing up your impiorntant stuff and doing a clean install. | 12:55 |
| Crazy | my chrome can't open video | 12:55 |
| Lcawte | Dr_Willis: seriously? Is there not another way? | 12:55 |
| Crazy | who knows why?? | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | thien: testing with script.sh vs script and so on.. wonder if it does it with more then just bash scripts | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Lcawte: its going to be very hard to tell what got messed up and take a lot of time.. and perhaps 40 min to do a reinstall.. | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | pauru: if people don't report bugs then things don't get fixed | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Lcawte: the keyboard leds flashing is the kernel not loading, or some major crash going on. | 12:56 |
| rach0 | Crazy, open a chrome tab and type about:plugins. See if the flash plugin is located and loaded | 12:56 |
| Lcawte | Dr_Willis: There is now way I can back it up, I have the one disk, and I'm not messing with partitions and have LAMP running... is there not a way I can get the upgrader to finish? | 12:56 |
| Flippo_ | Hi ! After adding a user with useradd, is there a way to create the default folder ~/.kde or ~/.gnome ? | 12:57 |
| jjlee | Lcawte: you don't have a backup already? | 12:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Lcawte: its going to be very hard to tell what needs upgraded now. You could try chrooting into the installed system and reruning the upgrade commands. but i wouldent put much faith in that working. | 12:57 |
| Lcawte | jjlee: not of my stuff or anything on the server, no | 12:57 |
| jjlee | Lcawte: that's unfortunate | 12:58 |
| Crazy | rach0: it seems have nothing | 12:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Lcawte: You should of made backups befor you even started. | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Flippo_: when they log in it will be made | 12:58 |
| Flippo_ | I want to do it before they log in ActionParsnip :p | 12:59 |
| pauru | ActionParsnip, Thats true, but why i haden't ha d these problems with other distros? | 12:59 |
| Crazy | rach0: it is blank | 12:59 |
| jcmarini | jjlee: braseo and gnome burner give message; no media when i put blank dvd in | 12:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Lcawte: You could try live cd and chroot in, and rerun update manager. but ive no idea if that can work. | 12:59 |
| Crazy | rach0: how did it happen? | 12:59 |
| Lcawte | Dr_Willis: I don't have the disk space or the knowledge to play around with partitions, I would backup if I could. | 12:59 |
| pauru | Anyway, i'll change because i need a realtime kernel so ubuntu won't do for me anyway | 13:00 |
| jjlee | Lcawte: get that knowledge | 13:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Lcawte: not like its really hard to plug in a extranal usb hard drive and copy imporntant files over.. thats about all the backup i do.. or use the UbuntuOne stuff for a few things. | 13:00 |

| GeorgeJ | I'm not making a complaint, just a remark. | 13:09 |
| ojii | how do I change the language of my login screen? | 13:09 |
| blackbit | Lcawte: Thats not good. We are talking about an ubuntu problem I guess, but make your first priority to backup your data as IF your hardware should fail for whatever reason, your data would be lost anyway. This applies to Windows, to Linux and to every other Os. | 13:09 |

| ramshot | Heya, 11.04 seems great but I'm flipping out because I can't find where to change the shift-alt-up shortcut, which is basically "expo for current workspace only" | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | c4pt: on the login screen. i thought ther ewas a 'classic' and 'classic without effects' (or was it with effects?) You do have the proper 3d drivers installed? | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | m4k: can you expand on "connect" | 13:12 |
| ramshot | Anyone know where I can change it, if anywhere? | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ramshot: it would be a setting in the CCSM tool. | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !ccsm | 13:12 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 13:12 |

| c4pt | Dr_Willis, yes i am using ubuntu classic (the one with effects) and the nvidia binary driver from nvidia (with the module recompiled for the current 11.04 kernel) | 13:12 |
| hamnegga | you need to install the plugins packages for compiz | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | dd214: log in to gnome classic and it won't load | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | vak: So you may want to post a eclipse specifc question. I think its how eclipse sets up its env. and launches thats teh issue. | 13:13 |

| milen8204 | ActionParsnip, what-for I should write in fstab : defaults,user_xattr, I just want to know\ | 14:01 |
| rpk | GeorgeJ: not sure what to do with that... problem is definitely in ubuntu, all of this worked 2 days ago before upgrading to 11.04 | 14:01 |
| aLky | guy, my touchpad is not working properly - it moves the cursor to random places and randomly clicks/rightcliks (using acer aspire & ubuntu 11.04) | 14:01 |
| rpk | so where should I look to fix it? | 14:02 |
| GeorgeJ | rpk: If the service on port 9099 is running under a JVM, I recall there is a problem related to ipv6 sockets not listening on ipv4 aswell as configured | 14:02 |
| rpk | GeorgeJ: yeah, its running under a jvm. Is this a new issue for 11.04? | 14:02 |
| driller_ | anyone familiar with vsftpd working against a mysql database? | 14:02 |

| zepherin | so time to download and install an older version and send a nasty gram to ubunut which will be sent to the email trash can | 14:06 |
| GeorgeJ | rpk: Ofcourse it works on localhosts, since the service on port 9099 is listening to the localhost ipv6 address only. The service on 7001 is listning on 10.140.179.32:7001 aswell, yes | 14:06 |

| zepherin | can't | 14:09 |
| zepherin | no keyboard access in login screen | 14:09 |

| GeorgeJ | zepherin: ctrl+alt+1 sorry | 14:10 |
| kellnola | F1 | 14:10 |
| rpk | GeorgeJ: ok, I'll try that. I can definitely connect, but have no idea what to do from there | 14:10 |
| zepherin | georgeJ: hrmmm, give me a minute | 14:10 |
| GeorgeJ | rpk: You only telnet to test the connectivity not to issue actuall commands, unless you want to talk HTTP | 14:11 |
| rpk | GeorgeJ: ok, running telnet from windows loads an empty command shell | 14:11 |
| GeorgeJ | rpk: Telnetting to 9099 from outside will probably not work since the service is only listening on localhost, its quite simple | 14:11 |
| rpk | so it looks like it worked | 14:12 |
| zepherin | no response for ctrl alt 1 | 14:12 |
| rpk | but I still can't open ip:7001 in an external browser | 14:12 |

| zepherin | still no response | 14:12 |
| Finn- | Ah, selecting "Gnome classic" seems to work. Now I just have to make sure that it selects it automatically the next time, or at least until Unity is fixed for me. | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | rpk: do you specify http (or https if it is secure) | 14:13 |
| zepherin | but I can't select gnome classic | 14:13 |
| GeorgeJ | zepherin: CTRL+ALT+ F1 trough F8 should cycle you trough different console screens | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Finn-: the OS remembers the last session | 14:13 |
| Finn- | most excellent | 14:13 |
| rpk | ActionParsnip: yeah, http://myip:7001/console | 14:13 |

| purvesh | can some one tell me that ubuntu 11.04 Desktop edition is capable to work on intel P4 2.4ghz 1.5gb ram ? | 14:42 |
| GeorgeJ | Giles: Unity is not something you enable. You can choose to use it or not, at the login screen | 14:43 |
| lcb | purvesh, all | 14:43 |
| comeon | videodev.h is not there ? | 14:43 |
| mksystems-online | hello all | 14:43 |
| comeon | instead videodev2.h | 14:43 |
| Giles | GeorgeJ: okay, so I choose to use it at the login screen but It doesn't give me the unity desktop. | 14:43 |
| comeon | opencv is just not installing | 14:44 |
| purvesh | lcb, it will not hang my p4 right ? | 14:44 |
| allu2 | Is it normal for ubuntu 10.10 to go black after selecting "Try Ubuntu" | 14:44 |
| lcb | purvesh, you have enough ram and good cpu | 14:44 |
| purvesh | lcb, so netbook iso is for what ? | 14:44 |
| velcroshooz | Giles, unity requires 3d, does your video card support it? | 14:44 |
| Giles | velcroshooz: http://pastebin.com/n8kXeP3a | 14:44 |
| purvesh | lcb, it is only for single core or what ? | 14:44 |
| Pici | comeon: There are a number of opencv packages in the repositories, is there a reason you have that you need to compile your own? | 14:45 |
| lcb | purvesh, what type of machine do you have? | 14:45 |
| velcroshooz | Giles, dunno why it wouldnt be working then. there were no additional drivers required or anything? | 14:46 |
| purvesh | lcb, i have 2 cpu one is Intel P4 2.4GHZ with 1.5GB ddr1 Ram, and other AMD Quad Core 64Bit with 2gb ddr2 ram | 14:46 |
| groundup | I am having problems upgrading packages: http://pastebin.com/XmnYnpaX | 14:46 |
| lcb | purvesh, download 11.04 desktop edition | 14:47 |
| purvesh | lcb, Thanx for suggestion :) | 14:47 |
| Pici | purvesh, lcb: There is not 11.04 netbook edition anymore anyway. They have been consolidated into one version. | 14:47 |
| Giles | velcroshooz: nope, I uninstalled nvidia-current, as a distro upgrade always seems to pull that in, but my machine doesn't have an nvidia card. | 14:47 |

| Pici | dasfefg: Pick Classic ubuntu from the login screen. | 14:48 |
| Giles | remoteCTRL2: Press F2 and type compiz --replace | 14:49 |
| H4x0rs | dasfefg, Do you have shift or Caps on your keyboard? | 14:49 |
| remoteCTRL2 | Pici: where are the settings? there is nothing in appearance anymore | 14:49 |
| purvesh | lcb, there one more thing if i have installed 11.04 64bit desktop version on my quad core 64bit cpu and now i want to put that hard disk to my p4 which is 32 bit cpu so it will work or not ? | 14:49 |
| Pici | remoteCTRL2: I had ccsm installed, made my changes from there. /shrug | 14:49 |
| Pici | purvesh: No. It will require a complete reinstall. | 14:49 |
| Giles | remoteCTRL2: that enables the desktop effects temporarily | 14:50 |
| dasfefg | hello i dont like gnome 3 and unit | 14:50 |
| dasfefg | what alternativess | 14:50 |
| Giles | dasfefg: unity? | 14:50 |
| stimpie | dasfefg: gnome2, xfce, kde, e17 | 14:51 |
| purvesh | Pici, ohk ... | 14:51 |

| Giles | remoteCTRL2: oh thats one up for me, unity just doesn't work. | 14:51 |
| H4x0rs | grandpapriz, throw it. | 14:51 |
| Giles | remoteCTRL2: s/for/from/ | 14:52 |
| bazhang | H4x0rs, pardon? | 14:52 |
| remoteCTRL2 | Giles: well that could have to do with the fact that nvidia just doesn't work... | 14:52 |
| Giles | remoteCTRL2: do you have an nvidia card? | 14:52 |
| H4x0rs | grandpapriz, Do you have laptop? | 14:52 |
| leojkd81 | ciao | 14:52 |
| grandpapriz | I am on a laptop now, my problem is on the desktop, and thanks for the comeback | 14:53 |
| remoteCTRL2 | Giles: in this device that i am currently attempting to fix there is an nvidia card, yes... VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [GeForce Go 7400] (rev a1) | 14:53 |
| H4x0rs | grandpapriz, Crash the desktop and stay with laptop | 14:53 |
| lcb | purvesh, i don't think so. Besides, I think you don't get the performance benefits of running true 64bit code on the kernel. | 14:53 |
| bazhang | H4x0rs, thats not helpful | 14:53 |
| Giles | remoteCTRL2: dunno then, I had to remove nvidia-current to get 3d working (I don't have an nvidia card) | 14:54 |
| purvesh | lcb, so the whole data and software and Ubuntu OS will remain same and work perfectly? | 14:54 |
| grandpapriz | all was well untill I upgraded.....I dual boot the desck top | 14:54 |
| remoteCTRL2 | Giles: whut??? :D | 14:54 |
| Giles | remoteCTRL2: a distro upgrade always pulls in the nvidia drivers for me for some reason.. | 14:55 |
| lcb | purvesh, you can NOT move 64 to 32 software | 14:55 |
| grandpapriz | I do have nvidia drivers :-( | 14:55 |
| DrDuck | Hello, guys. I have a problem with the new release of ubuntu with my wifi connection. Before installing, my wifi was working just fine, but now I can't turn it on when I swipe my finger over the wifi button. I can swipe my finger over it to turn it on at boot up, but once I get to my login menu, my mouse wont move. Any insight into what my issue is would be great. | 14:55 |
| remoteCTRL2 | Giles: jockey-gtk does NOT report on it's own that it found drivers like it usually does, but when i fire up jockey manually it says it has the 173 and the current [recommended] one, both of which produce the same output, ie. driver is activated but currently not in use | 14:55 |
| ojii | is there a way to replace the 'show photos' shortcut in the launcher with something that is useful for me? | 14:55 |
| purvesh | lcb, so my installed softwares will not work ? | 14:55 |
| H4x0rs | grandpapriz, that's helpful http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10740987&postcount=5 | 14:56 |
| lcb | purvesh, you can backup your home dir and restore it. some .configs you might need to adapt to your machine | 14:56 |
| remoteCTRL2 | Giles: although lsmod | grep nvidia say that it IS in use | 14:56 |
| Giles | remoteCTRL2: I check which hardware I have using lspci. | 14:56 |
| purvesh | lcb, k.... | 14:57 |

| remoteCTRL2 | Giles: so did i just a minute ago, i could also use lshw but i doubt that that will help me any further... | 14:58 |
| Giles | remoteCTRL2: nor do I know how to get unity working. | 14:58 |
| remoteCTRL2 | gosh... | 14:58 |
| Giles | remoteCTRL2: I don't think I want unity. | 14:58 |
| remoteCTRL2 | well 2-3 upgrade went well reecntla now its a total mess once again... rrrrrrrrrrrrr | 14:58 |
| BlaDe^ | how can I resave all the files in a directory? | 14:58 |
| Giles | remoteCTRL2: but I would like desktop effects back. | 14:58 |
| BlaDe^ | I've just done a mv dir2 dir --- and dirname(__FILE__) in php returns dir2, until I nano, and overwrite the file... Some weird bug. | 14:59 |
| remoteCTRL2 | Giles: i couldnt tell; i haven't seen it yet :D | 14:59 |
| Giles | BlaDe^: ??? | 14:59 |

| Giles | remoteCTRL2: seems so. | 14:59 |
| remoteCTRL2 | zepherin: i feel you dude... | 14:59 |
| Giles | BlaDe^: I think this must be because your php program is using an old file handle? | 15:01 |

| rchavik | hi, a quick question, to upgrade 10.10 to 11.04 via CD, i can only use the alternate iso file. is that correct? | 15:02 |
| a111 | Is there a way to limit cpu load and memory used per user? | 15:02 |
| DrDuck | Would someone mind giving me some insight into why the new release has issues with wireless connections? | 15:02 |
| Giles | BlaDe^: I ???'ed you though because i dont know what you mean by "how can I resave all the files in a directory?" | 15:02 |
| BlaDe^ | Giles: i did find . -exec touch {} + ---- this has mostly fixed it | 15:02 |
| BlaDe^ | I think it's possibly APC caching the old file | 15:02 |

| FloodBot1 | H4x0rs: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:03 |
| DrDuck | Also, I'm wondering if it's possible to go back a version. (10.04). | 15:03 |
| zepherin | rchavik: don't do it it's a trap | 15:03 |
| H4x0rs | ? | 15:03 |
| Giles | BlaDe^: but it does not "resave" the file, that thinking is just wrong. | 15:03 |

| kaiyin | every time i open a file in midnight commander (inside xterm), i.e. reading a pdf file with evince, the application would feedback some info into xterm, and clobber the mc interface. Has anyone ever exprienced this? | 15:03 |
| bazhang | H4x0rs, dont paste that here | 15:03 |
| BlaDe^ | resaving the files ALSO updates the access times | 15:04 |
| rchavik | zepherin, upgrade process not smooth ? | 15:04 |
| BlaDe^ | which is what I needed to do, it appears | 15:04 |
| kaiyin | Very annoying. Otherwise i might make mc my main file manager. | 15:04 |
| Giles | BlaDe^: to resave the file you would have to save the same data over the old file | 15:04 |
| H4x0rs | bazhang, i did not paste, it's a command exec -o cal | 15:04 |
| BlaDe^ | Giles - I know. | 15:04 |
| Giles | BlaDe^: that can't be what you mean. | 15:04 |
| bazhang | H4x0rs, this is the wrong place for it | 15:04 |
| BlaDe^ | Giles why are you telling me what I mean? | 15:04 |
| zepherin | rchavik: My laptop broke because of it. So I have to reinstall | 15:04 |
| Giles | BlaDe^: Well is it what you mean? | 15:05 |
| zepherin | unity is not your friend | 15:05 |
| BlaDe^ | Giles -- resaving the files was updating the access/last modified times.. APC seems to cache files by that. Resaving was fixing it, but what I needed to do was just touch all the files | 15:05 |
| BlaDe^ | find . -exec touch {} + fixed the issue | 15:05 |
| rchavik | zepherin, okay.. thanks for the heads-up! i will wait then. | 15:05 |
| clbr | am I right that it's not possible to get an bootable ubuntu live installer usb stick image without already having a working ubuntu installation (and the startup disk maker)? | 15:05 |
| Giles | BlaDe^: yes, but you are not "resaving" the file, you are just updating the timestamps of the file. | 15:06 |
| bazhang | clbr, unetbootin has windows version amongst others | 15:06 |
| BlaDe^ | omg? are you reading what i'm saying/ | 15:06 |
| BlaDe^ | I'm fully aware what touch does, and what overwriting a file in nano does | 15:06 |
| velcroshooz | clbr, that would be wrong. there are other programs to copy the iso to the usb stick. | 15:06 |
| BlaDe^ | please - stop talking. It's fixed and you aren't reading... | 15:06 |
| Giles | BlaDe^: good ;) | 15:06 |

| zepherin | unity tells me my computer sucks too much to use it and that I need to use classic, and then locks up my keyboard and mouse so I can't choose classic | 15:09 |
| rchavik | lcb, yes.. but i can't spare my laptop now, i'll wait until my load cools down a bit.. | 15:09 |
| lcb | zepherin, did you upgrade following instructions? was your system up-to-date and fixed? did you interrupt the upgrade proccess? | 15:09 |
| H4x0rs | bazhang, I feel you are looking carefully to my posts. | 15:09 |
| DrDuck | I'm sure I'm not the only one having wireless issues with the new version of Ubuntu, right? | 15:09 |
| bazhang | H4x0rs, ubuntu support issue? | 15:09 |
| velcroshooz | zepherin, you choose classic at the login screen, unity should not be running | 15:09 |

| H4x0rs | bazhang, I don't shit chat. | 15:11 |
| lcb | zepherin, rchavik, if upgrade was interrupted: try going to recovery (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. In any case, do the same but go to the grub menu and run dpkg, grub and failsafeX (choose to use default drivers) | 15:11 |
| rchavik | lcb, thanks for the pointer.. will take note. | 15:12 |
| carandraug | I want to report a bug but I don't know to which package I should. What's the application that organizes the windows? The one that "reads" the "Always on top" option of windows (in GNOME). Is it metacity? I'm still using 10.04 | 15:12 |

| zzecool | Arowana, just a small tip if you want to use for a long time in console the root acc = sudo -s so you dont actually need to type sudo every time | 15:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Arowana: you can set it on your own system if you want but enabling the account is not default, which is why su doesn't work | 15:33 |
| Arowana | I accept... thank you will keep in mind | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Arowana: you can also achieve the same root console with: sudo -i | 15:34 |

| ActionParsnip | Adamantus: then thats probably why you can't resize, the partition hasn't been unmounted properly | 16:05 |
| sipior | bsodmike: at this point, you might want to contact your provider, and explain the problem. it's possible they changed something... | 16:05 |

| ActionParsnip | GuitarMan517: remove the gnome3 ppa then you will need to tell the OS to reinstall a TONNE of packages. I'd reinstall, the resulting OS will be more stable | 16:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Adamantus: they are pretty much the same so trying them both is pointless, one is based on the other | 16:06 |

| KM0201 | milamber: ok.. whyd idn't you create a separate home, while installing? | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | juboba: grab wubi.exe and put the MD5 tested 10.10 ISO in the same folder | 16:12 |

| TimothyA | KM0201: then what? | 16:15 |
| Dcite | liminal_: cp -a = preserves dates too, cp -r = recursive copy, loses dates. | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | johnny77: try it, might just work | 16:15 |

| shomon | I was pointing you to their irc channel | 16:21 |
| shomon | also their mailing list is there so you could ask on there. | 16:21 |
| yuskhanzab | owh, isee.. thanks ActionParsnip :) | 16:21 |
| liminal_ | can the cp command create directory structures? eg: cp /home/myfile /home/newdirectory/myfile | 16:21 |
| sipior | liminal_: "man cp" | 16:21 |

| compdoc | Liberation Serif is the default font | 16:26 |
| Arowana | how is 11.04? | 16:26 |
| KM0201 | Dcite: if you follow what he's saying, he's using arch.. unetbootin doesn't have a version of arch | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Arowana: fine | 16:26 |
| bastidrazor | Ziber: you're running openSuSe? | 16:26 |
| Dcite | KM0201: Ah.. lets see. | 16:26 |
| sipior | liminal_: that was the best you could manage? | 16:27 |
| mikebot | compdoc: Oh, thanks | 16:27 |
| Ziber | bastidrazor: No, ubuntu 10.10. | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip | donkeyinspace: you can enable the proposed repo if you feel brave | 16:27 |
| mikebot | compdoc: Is that available for windows? | 16:27 |
| Arowana | performance wise? | 16:27 |
| kyle__ | So, anyone explain ubuntu users and groups (groups part) | 16:27 |

| mikebot | compdoc: OK, thank you | 16:27 |
| nick87720z | sipior: it just seems, that something gone wrong for that version. I would like to find source. As for me it is not blocking thing | 16:27 |
| TomThumb | So, anyone explain ubuntu users and groups (groups part) | 16:27 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: i am trying to install it by clicking it | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | GuitarMan517: ok and what is the error? | 16:28 |
| KM0201 | Mali: there should be a solutjion out there.. you'll probaly just have to do it manually | 16:28 |
| Dcite | Mali: Do you have yaourt installed or access to auR.archlinux.org? They have a pkgbuild for unetbootin there. | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dusf: the deb or songbird? | 16:28 |
| TomThumb | for example the is a group called bluetooth, i have no tick next to group but i'm still able to use. Why so? | 16:28 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: firefox tells me it must be opened with an ap, and the only app it recommends is software centre | 16:28 |
| GuitarMan517 | ActionParsnip: An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-natty.list' | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dusf: you need to add the ppa by installing the deb, you can then use those links | 16:28 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: the deb is for songbird, i cannot separatre them | 16:28 |
| Dcite | Mali: It... won't see the stick? Can't you pick by device in /dev? Or nothing at all? | 16:28 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: where is the option to install the dev? | 16:28 |
| dusf | deb | 16:28 |
| bastidrazor | Ziber: right click the panel > add to panel> Shut Down | 16:29 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: i tried right clicking on the install link and saving link as | 16:29 |
| dusf | but it just saved as html | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | dusf: in software centre | 16:29 |
| Mali | it only finds my linux partition on an external hard disk | 16:29 |
| Mali | yes, it's weird.. I don't get it.. first time I see it | 16:29 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: when i search software centre for songbird it doesn't find anuything | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | dusf: cd; wget http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb; sudo dpkg -i .//getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb; rm .//getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb | 16:30 |
| Mali | which is why I am in such a hapless position :p although actually hwen I think of it, I can install grub2 somewhere and launch an old livecd with grub2 (IM on arch2) i mean with the usb creator (i have a lubuntu 10.10 and a mint 10.10 iso on the ntfs partition | 16:30 |
| Pudabudigada | ActionParsnip, The command didn't help. | 16:30 |
| Mali | although I forgot about it.. haven't used them in ages | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | GuitarMan517: you can delete the top 3 lines of that file as you will be using the web to update. Should fix the file | 16:30 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: i searched software centre for deb and it found and is installing gdebi package installer, same as your link? | 16:30 |
| jahrends | I still think it is odd that ubuntu installs by default with no compiler... ;) | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | dusf: the command I gave will install and add the getdeb repo, you can then install as you expect | 16:31 |
| KM0201 | Mali: yeah, if you can boot an ISO of ubuntu or mint 10.10 they both have reliable usb creation tools.. that would be a good alternative | 16:31 |
| ActionParsnip | jahrends: think of the target userbase of Ubuntu.... | 16:31 |
| jahrends | That makes it even more odd... :) | 16:31 |
| Mali | well they failed in me in the past alwasy KM0201 which is why I ended up putting isos on my hard disk bt anyway, here I go... thanks! | 16:31 |
| GuitarMan517 | ActionParsnip: Aren't the first three comments? | 16:31 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: your command gives errors | 16:32 |
| KM0201 | Mali: ok, good luck | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Pudabudigada: not sure then, I don't use wubi personally. If you are using Win7 you can resize the windows partition and install a REAL install of Ubuntu which will run better and be easier to fix | 16:32 |
| Dcite | GuitarMan517: please pastebin this file too /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-natty.list | 16:32 |

| Dcite | !wine | numbah1hax0r | 16:33 |
| ubottu | numbah1hax0r: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 16:33 |
| GuitarMan517 | Dcite: http://pastebin.com/uGFw0icW | 16:33 |
| GuitarMan517 | Dcite: I think thats the problem.. :) | 16:34 |
| numbah1hax0r | so Dcite | 16:34 |
| Mali | numbah1hax0r: thatwould have to be through wine (or a vm) | 16:34 |
| Pudabudigada | ActionParsnip, I wouldn't get anywhere with virtualisation on this! | 16:34 |
| numbah1hax0r | right,but does wine have it preinstalled? | 16:34 |
| durando | so guys this unity thing does anyone actually like it? and is there going to be a time when ubuntu classic isn't possible because if there is than i may need to switch distros in the future | 16:34 |
| numbah1hax0r | or do i have to install directx via wine? | 16:34 |
| ark0nza | numbah1hax0r: checkout playonlinux too | 16:34 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: getdeb is installed, but when i click on the 'install now' option it is still only offering to open it with software centre | 16:34 |
| numbah1hax0r | playonlinux? | 16:34 |
| Dcite | numbah1hax0r: Wine has impleted directx 9.0 to a certain degree and most modern games should work, please check your game in appdb.winehq.org for a better insight | 16:34 |
| EClaesson | durando, i like Unity. On a first look it was rather annoying. But i'm really starting to like it now | 16:35 |
| Arowana | Hi Action: can I put .exe in folder and share it on samba and run in ubuntu's mem. space? | 16:35 |
| Dcite | GuitarMan517: Yes, you nailed, it, please make the correction to it? :) | 16:35 |
| donkeyinspace2 | ActionParsnip , enabled proposed repo but still dont see the wanted package | 16:35 |
| ark0nza | numbah1hax0r: I use playonlinux to run Steam... HL2, Team Fortress 2, Fallout 3 etc | 16:35 |
| GuitarMan517 | Dcite: Remove line 3? | 16:35 |
| numbah1hax0r | whats playonlinux? | 16:35 |
| durando | EClaesson: I have attempted to give it a fair shake honestly but all that unity has managed to do for me is use my android tablet more........... | 16:36 |
| Dcite | GuitarMan517: Yes place. | 16:36 |
| Arowana | I have done 1st part and not sure about 2nd running in ubuntu mem space | 16:36 |
| junco | I think unity needs a lot of work but has potential | 16:36 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: 'there isn't a package called 'songbird' in your current software sources' | 16:36 |
| numbah1hax0r | ark0nza, what's playonlinux? | 16:36 |
| Dcite | numbah1hax0r: playonlinux is a script which happens to use wine, I won't say it is needed but some people seem to like it | 16:36 |

| r0hit | SASL or SSL? :p | 16:56 |
| wiehan | and when I open additional drivers (restricted drivers thingy) It says the Nvidia [recommended] drivers is installed (green light next to it), but beneath it says it is not enabled. Please help | 16:56 |
| ikonia | lets just move along please. | 16:56 |
| sipior | strav: yes, that should be fine. fsck operates on the filesystem; raid is more or less an orthogonal issue. | 16:56 |
| delinquentme | ^^^ false alarm right ?? | 16:56 |
| Mali | SASL of course: Sassy Anti-Secure Layer! | 16:56 |
| delinquentme | that was not official? | 16:56 |
| philip_ | all tips for installing ubuntu on intel macs welcome, or how to debug a stuck prompt issue during ubuntu cd load | 16:56 |
| r0hit | since vboxvideo doesn't support OpenGL (2.0 ?), running Natty in virtualbox and expecting Unity to pop up is futile right? | 16:58 |
| oCean | r0hit: I run 11.04 in vbox | 16:58 |
| oCean | r0hit: with unity that is | 16:59 |
| Pimmetje | Hi all, I am having a question about dualscreen & Displayport on intel hd graphics, i have dualboot (11.04) on windows both screens work fine. On ubuntu one screen has all colors messed (more green & red). I used PowerStrip to get the settings for xrand but no luck. Maybe anyone here can help me? | 16:59 |
| r0hit | oCean, any quirks or fiery hoops you had to jump thru to get that working? | 16:59 |
| Fiery | ? | 16:59 |
| Pudabudigada | Anyone know about Natty sound issues? My computer is now useless for any media. | 16:59 |
| oCean | r0hit: install the guest additions in natty, and enable 3d-acceleration in vbox settings for that vmachine, that was all | 16:59 |
| r0hit | Fiery, sorry false alarm :) | 16:59 |
| Mali | probably a lot of loops on fire yesh.. like a midsummer night's lady of the night's erm treasurebox | 17:00 |
| Fiery | heh no problem r0hit | 17:00 |
| Pudabudigada | The sound cracks in any media player I try | 17:00 |
| Pudabudigada | Worst in Vlc | 17:00 |
| Mali | puda , you on alsa or? | 17:00 |
| wiehan | When I start my computer I get a black screen (way before X starts) that just says "error: parse file not allowed" - I presume it might have something to do with the face that I used my old install partition as my /home. but How do I fix it? | 17:01 |
| KM0201 | Pudabudigada: vlc is a mess in 11.04 right now, not sure why... i've had really good luck w/ Parole Media Player | 17:01 |
| r0hit | oCean, funny i did that. it bails out with GL_EXT_copy_texture being not supported... VBox 4.0.6 btw | 17:01 |
| Mali | blah, sound slike 11.04 is like 10.04.. not the best version | 17:01 |
| oCean | r0hit: yep, 4.0.6 here too | 17:01 |
| samzor_ | I have updated my station from 10.04 to 11.04 and i cant get unity to work and i think it's due to the nvidia drivers anyone have any pointers ? | 17:01 |
| cheshire_fox | Got a problem with my wireless. With in the last 12 hours network-manager suddenly refuses to connect to any wireless network (password protected or not_. | 17:01 |
| KM0201 | Mali: 11.04 is fine.. it just has some issues... but with such heavy changes, thats to be expected | 17:01 |
| quiel | anyone got the battery indicator working in 11.04? | 17:02 |
| === Guest11655 is now known as ssfdre38 | ||

| Mali | ye KM0201: fair enough, but I came back here for stability issues... but perhaps hmm, | 17:02 |
| Strav | sipior: thanks | 17:02 |
| bradland | i'm looking for help interpreting this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-application/+bug/569273 | 17:02 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 569273 in indicator-application (Ubuntu Lucid) "memory leak in gnome-power-manager" [Medium,Triaged] | 17:02 |
| Mali | ah man I been distro hopping for 2 months now... what a nightmare :p | 17:02 |
| Pudabudigada | KM0201, Parole isn't working at all. | 17:02 |
| Strav | sipior: I'll just schedule one and see what happens. | 17:02 |
| bradland | it looks like lucid is marked as "won't fix", but it's an LTS release, so I'm kind of confused. | 17:02 |
| Pudabudigada | It's not even starting to play. | 17:02 |
| ksbalaji | The Desktop icons defaults to -keep aligned- everytime I start the pc. Can't I permanently set it otherwise please? | 17:02 |
| wiehan | samzor_ also having issues | 17:02 |
| KM0201 | Mali: honestly, if you want ultimate stability, look at something other than unity.. you might even consider xubuntu or lubuntu or kubuntu.. just a lot of changes on the gnome side right now | 17:02 |
| samzorio | wiehan did you manage to fix it ? | 17:02 |
| r0hit | oCean, your graphics hardware? | 17:02 |
| Mali | ye lubuntu is cool | 17:02 |
| lubuntu | yes i know :) | 17:03 |
| wiehan | samzorio: no, no one is helping here. | 17:03 |
| Mali | true KM0201: but I also wanna get used to G3 , might as well as frikking as kde has alwasy crashe don me since 2000 | 17:03 |
| lubuntu | but i have problem with gdesktoplets | 17:03 |
| Mali | hehe lubuntu :p | 17:03 |
| lubuntu | gdesklets | 17:03 |
| lubuntu | its blin | 17:03 |
| Mali | compiz + lxde any nifty? | 17:03 |
| lubuntu | blink | 17:04 |
| KM0201 | Mali: i just haven't been able to embrace gnome 3 yet (on ubuntu anyway) | 17:04 |
| lubuntu | i dont use compiz | 17:04 |
| Mali | KM0201: it is why I left ubuntu (unity + G3) although unity actually was a bit nicer I guess | 17:04 |
| Younder | to get unity to work with nvide try sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 17:04 |
| Pudabudigada | KM0201, Ahh, it works now! Thanks! | 17:04 |
| KM0201 | Pudabudigada: what does? | 17:04 |
| Younder | It has some settings that might help | 17:04 |
| Mali | but gnome man.. I loved them for a decade.. and well if ONLY I can bring down the menu bar back onto the windows I guess I can deal with it :p | 17:04 |
| Pudabudigada | KM0201, I can play music | 17:04 |
| KM0201 | oh, well, thats a relief | 17:05 |
| Mali | I HATE moving my mouse up to the top for each little bl**dy thing I gotta do | 17:05 |
| KM0201 | lol | 17:05 |
| Pudabudigada | KM0201, The odd skip, but it's much better. | 17:05 |
| coz_ | Mali, then log off and log back onto classic gnome | 17:05 |
| lubuntu | Mali, in gnome you can take down | 17:05 |
| Mali | lubuntu: I wa shoping so, but couldn't figure it out, ende dup deleteing the whole menu.. how? | 17:05 |
| Combatjuan | This might be a dumb question, but what happened to xorg.conf in natty? Did X get replaced by that zany new fangled thing? | 17:05 |
| Mali | coz_: when i did that I couldn't log back in to my system, had to reformat and went arch linux instead | 17:06 |
| lubuntu | Mali then you log out you see on down combobox to choose a classic ubuntu | 17:06 |
| Pudabudigada | Ok, audio seems to work as long as I don't touch the pc while it's playing. | 17:06 |
| Mali | it's actually AWESOME but pacman is still a lil unreliable | 17:06 |
| jatt | Combatjuan: it's configured automatically however you can generate a xorg.conf if you want | 17:06 |
| KM0201 | Pudabudigada: lol | 17:06 |
| KM0201 | Mali: i like pacman | 17:06 |
| Mali | nope lubuntu when I enabled fallabck on (beta) it entirely crashed couldn't log in in any X | 17:06 |
| torchie | what's sasl | 17:06 |
| Combatjuan | jatt: I need to adjust some touchpad options that aren't present in the gui. How do I generate an xorg.conf? | 17:06 |
| Mali | KM0201: so do I , but it isn't reliable | 17:07 |
| coz_ | Mali, ?? seriously? all you needed to do is log off,, type in your password and before hitting enter change the session to Classic.. or in UNity,, although I dont reccoment this,, open a terminal and type gnome-panel & disown | 17:07 |
| Mali | and typically, when I try and fix things, it gets itself stucjk and breaks my system, hehe | 17:07 |
| Mali | nope coz_ I COUDN'T I am trying ot tell you now | 17:07 |
| KM0201 | Mali: lubuntu doesn't have a fall back,b ecause it doesn't support 3d | 17:07 |
| Mali | aka beta bug I guess... or alpha 3... either way.. KDE as well crashed every 3 mins | 17:07 |
| lubuntu | lxde is super light and very speed | 17:08 |
| Mali | \so I left ubuntu | 17:08 |
| jatt | Combatjuan: Xorg -configure | 17:08 |
| Combatjuan | jatt: Thanks. | 17:08 |
| Mali | yesh, but I like my compiz effects ;) although I saw a very nice layout on youtube with compiz + lxde tbh | 17:08 |
| lapion | how do I disable application restart upon crash ? | 17:08 |
| Mali | anyway, I wrote a post install script for archlinux and I'm at the nightmare now of seieng if I will implement wm + de combos | 17:08 |
| Mali | or just stick to some basic confs | 17:09 |
| oCean | Mali: chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 17:09 |
| Mali | ye ok.. sorry :) | 17:09 |
| Mali | not a single channel on the planet I don't get showve dinto offtopic ;) | 17:09 |
| MrADz | Hi guys, My web cut out whilst downloading 11.04 and now when I try and run the installer it fails to fetch packages?? | 17:09 |
| wildc4rd | afternoon all | 17:09 |
| Mali | MrADz: that sounds like a potentially broken ISO , have you checked the mda5sum? | 17:10 |
| MrADz | Sorry I have no idea what you're talking about | 17:10 |
| BinaryMan | hi. upgraded to 11.04 and started using xfce. it's not respecting the keyboard shortcuts I have set up. | 17:11 |
| coz_ | MrADz, there is the mini install cd 19 megs,, little to get corrupted,, however it is NOT a live cd.. | 17:11 |
| MrADz | No, I'm just trying to install the upgrade in update manager | 17:11 |
| coz_ | MrADz, ah ok | 17:11 |
| xadhoom | why can the ubuntu installer only use predefined mountpoints? | 17:12 |
| Omega | !md5 | MrADz | 17:12 |
| ubottu | MrADz: 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 | 17:12 |
| coz_ | MrADz, is it necessary for you to upgrade,,, cannot backup? | 17:12 |
| BinaryMan | xadhoom: it doesn't. you can specify your own mountpoints. | 17:12 |
| MrADz | tbh I could backup but for easier upgrade | 17:12 |
| gh0st | hello | 17:12 |
| xadhoom | BinaryMan, i can not type in text | 17:12 |
| BinaryMan | xadhoom: you don't have to. when you get to the partitioning screen, set the mountpoints by hand. | 17:13 |
| coz_ | MrADz, the only reason is that I generally do not ask people to upgrde,, ubuntu upgrades are consistently inconsistent,, clean installs give you ,, at the very least,, the confort that any problems are not related to the upgrade itself | 17:13 |
| xadhoom | BinaryMan, yes but i can only select from a dropbox | 17:14 |
| xadhoom | BinaryMan, i can not type /blahblah into it | 17:14 |
| Omega | coz_: Most problems we have to deal with here come from upgrades. | 17:14 |
| coz_ | Omega, this I have seen over the years for sure | 17:14 |
| coz_ | upgrades can be a PITA to troubleshoot | 17:14 |
| BinaryMan | xadhoom: that's because /blahblah isn't a recognized mount point. | 17:15 |
| giacomo | buona sera a tutti | 17:15 |
| coz_ | giacomo, salve :) | 17:15 |
| oCean | coz_: no need for such acronyms I think | 17:16 |
| thevishy | i had given upgrade command earlier and went for work | 17:16 |
| coz_ | oCean, you mean the pita thing? | 17:16 |
| giacomo | vorrei chiedere se e possibile come installare office 2007 nel mio portatile grazie | 17:16 |
| thevishy | how do I know if Natty is installed ? | 17:16 |
| thevishy | !release | 17:16 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 17:16 |
| oCean | coz_: indeed :( One leads to another etc etc | 17:16 |
| sipior | coz_: i wouldn't worry about it. | 17:16 |
| cheshire_fox | For some reason network manager isn't running | 17:17 |
| coz_ | oCean, this I have also seen over the years... generally not thar particular one is at fault though :) | 17:17 |
| thevishy | how do I know my current ubuntu version | 17:17 |
| coz_ | thevishy, in terminal lsb_release -a | 17:17 |
| thevishy | it says maverick | 17:18 |
| thevishy | how do I upgrade to natty | 17:18 |
| coz_ | thevishy, that is 10.10 | 17:18 |
| Tm_T | !upgrade | 17:18 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 17:18 |
| cheshire_fox | Earlier it decided not to work with any wifi ap, then it said my wireless card wasn't working because the firmware wasn't in place, and now the applet says network manager is not working at all. Help? | 17:18 |
| The-Kernel_ | hi, is there a way to get iptables to drop ONLY rtpevents? I googled and didn't find anything. | 17:18 |
| coz_ | thevishy, is it important to upgrade or can you clean install with no issues? | 17:18 |
| dualcore | i installed ubuntu 11.04 and now i am getting 403 - Forbidden for all my lighttpd vhost? help!? | 17:19 |
| thevishy | I think clean issue is also fine coz_ | 17:19 |
| === The-Kernel_ is now known as The_Kernel | ||
| thevishy | but I need to use USB then right | 17:19 |
| giacomo | scusate scappo ci sentiamo dopo | 17:19 |
| coz_ | thevishy, is this a netbook ? | 17:19 |
| thevishy | is natty significantly better than maverick | 17:19 |
| thevishy | coz_ yeah | 17:19 |
| sebsebseb | thevishy: for some users yes, for other users no | 17:20 |
| noes1s | Im doing a script, can someone do "ls .gconf/system/networking/connections/*" and tell me the output? | 17:20 |
| thevishy | right | 17:20 |
| coz_ | thevishy, oh ! mm I have absolutely no experience with netbooks other than knowing there is no cd in them...sorry | 17:20 |
| thevishy | I did USB install initially | 17:20 |
| brass | What is the preferred method of setting up a desktop terminal server? I used to use xdmcp, but that seams impossible with ubuntu. I've read about a vncserver and freenx. Anyone have an opinion? | 17:20 |
| sebsebseb | thevishy: altough it seems quite a lot aren't that happy with the new Unity interface in 11.04 for example | 17:20 |
| coz_ | thevishy, i would probably ,, in your place, do the same with 11.04.. | 17:21 |
| thevishy | Yeah I was against Unity interface btw :) | 17:21 |
| sebsebseb | thevishy: you should be able to try from the Ubuntu website now | 17:21 |
| sebsebseb | the Unity 2D | 17:21 |
| sebsebseb | in a web browser | 17:21 |
| codingenesis | can any one tell me that, can we design our own architecture of a computer?? | 17:21 |
| fi103910 | hi all - I'm very unexperienced with Linux (know some, but not much...) and ran into a problem after updating to 11.04. For some reason, the "default boot" option doesn't work. Can someone help me with this... ? :) | 17:22 |
| trailoryo | Hey, what do i do to paste this line automatically every time I start XChat? "/msg NickServ Identify trailoryo xxxxxxxx" | 17:22 |
| dimkin | hello! i want to install ubuntu server @ via c3 700Mhz mitx mobo. do i really need recomended x64 version ? ;) | 17:22 |
| coz_ | fi103910, ah what shows up when you try to boot? | 17:22 |
| sebsebseb | fi103910: I guess upgrading broke your booting, may just be some issue with Grub 2, but Grub 2 isn't that easy to configure, espesaily as a newbie | 17:22 |
| smw | trailoryo, I suggest you set the server password to trailoryo:xxxxxxx | 17:22 |
| raju | trailoryo: click freenode at xchat network list and edit give the password server password | 17:22 |
| sebsebseb | !grub2 | fi103910 | 17:22 |
| ubottu | fi103910: 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) | 17:23 |
| Promille | Why is the update to Natty so extremely slow(100kb/s average). I can theoretically do 1.85mb/s, and I usually max it with the update manager | 17:23 |
| fi103910 | well, it's strange - if I choose the "use older version" option, but choose the same 11.04 version - it works just fine... | 17:23 |
| roasted | Hey guys - has the Unity bug with dual screen monitors been fixed so I can have my right-side monitor as the main with Unity's bar on it? | 17:23 |
| thevishy | Maybe I can also stick with 10.10 for some time and switch too | 17:23 |
| sebsebseb | fi103910: ok so it boots up with an older kernel? | 17:23 |
| codingenesis | can any one tell me that, can we design our own architecture of a computer?? | 17:23 |
| trailoryo | Thanks smw & raju | 17:23 |
| smw | trailoryo, that can be done by clicking on freenode in the list. and then clicking edit | 17:23 |
| oCean | Promille: the servers still might be hitting a lot of traffic | 17:23 |
| sebsebseb | roasted: no don't think so | 17:23 |
| smw | trailoryo, np | 17:23 |
| coz_ | roasted, which video card do you have on that system? | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | codingenesis: i'd ask in ##hardware | 17:23 |
| roasted | coz_, nvidia 9600gt | 17:23 |
| fi103910 | yes and no - it's the same kernel, but throught the "use older version" option... | 17:23 |
| roasted | sebsebseb, bummer. :( | 17:24 |
| raju | trailoryo: welcome :S | 17:24 |
| raju | :) | 17:24 |
| Promille | oCean: ye, maby. but should be possible to have to options to switch mirrors, so the traffic can be dealt better between the mirrors | 17:24 |
| sebsebseb | roasted: altough to be honest not that sure what bug your reffering to, but I guess since 11.04 is security updates only, no is the answer to your question | 17:24 |
| Kruptein | is it fine to install the 2.6.39 rc4 headers in natty? | 17:24 |
| Kruptein | or will it cause problems ? (never update my kernel manually) | 17:24 |
| dimkin | hello! i want to install ubuntu server @ via c3 700Mhz mitx mobo. do i really need recomended x64 version ? ;) | 17:24 |
| roasted | sebsebseb, when you are running 2 monitors, you can't move the unity bar anywhere else EXCEPT on the far far left. | 17:24 |
| fi103910 | it's a bit confusing, sorry - but I just checked, the kernel versions are exactly the same on "default" and the one I can choose from "older version" | 17:24 |
| coz_ | roasted, well I dont think the launcher or even the upper panel can be moved,, the opton with nvidia,,of course is you could make the monitor on the right the primary monitor but that would be awkward to work with | 17:24 |
| roasted | sebsebseb, I want it on the left of my main screen (which is on the right) | 17:25 |
| sebsebseb | Kruptein: why upgrade the kernel manually? oh and espesaily why to a release candidate? | 17:25 |
| codingenesis | ActionParsnip : yes !! | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Kruptein: can't see why not, your kernel and kernel issues will not be supported here as you are using an unofficial kernel | 17:25 |
| roasted | coz_, it has to be moveable, as Im sure half of the dual screen world is screaming about it now. | 17:25 |
| BinaryMan | dimkin: only if the server your going to install it on has 64-bit hardware | 17:25 |
| sebsebseb | roasted: I think that's something that won't be fixed untill maybe the next release, for what your reffering to | 17:25 |
| thevishy | is my netbook 64 bit ? | 17:25 |
| codingenesis | can i theoretical do it and then implement it ?? | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | codingenesis: don't see why not | 17:25 |
| roasted | sebsebseb, LOL. you gotta be kidding. Next release = fail if that's how long it will take. | 17:25 |
| coz_ | roasted, well if it can be I have not found a way on my dual monitor set up...i simply put the launcher panel into auto hide and replace with cairo dock | 17:25 |
| codingenesis | ActionParsnip: :) | 17:25 |
| sebsebseb | roasted: well 11.04 is security updates only as far as I know, so don't expect any Unity fixes in it | 17:26 |
| trailoryo | working fine;) | 17:26 |
| Kruptein | sebsebseb, ActionParsnip well I read on the ubuntuforums that my slow internet connection is the cause of the 2.6.38 kernel and that I should either upgrade or downgrage | 17:26 |
| roasted | sebsebseb, I mean within a month or so would be nice to see the feature there... a feature that should have been there since day 1 if you ask me. | 17:26 |
| Kruptein | my internet connection was fine in 10.10 and in windows 7 (dual boot) also, but since I upgraded to natty it is terrible slow | 17:26 |
| guy24 | hello | 17:26 |
| roasted | sebsebseb, I can understand being limited on feature set, but at least keeping the potion for dual screeners out there... that just *makes sense* | 17:26 |
| dimkin | BinaryMan, but somewhere in faq i found , that x64 will be same or beetter, comparing to x86 :) | 17:26 |
| sebsebseb | Kruptein: well don't upgrade to a releae candiate of the next one, and you shoudn't need to install another kernel yourselfl ike that | 17:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Kruptein: then natty may not be the release for you | 17:26 |
| guy24 | my computers went of in the middle of a ubuntu distro upgrade | 17:27 |
| sebsebseb | roasted: well that's not how Ubuntu works, a release comes out, and useually only gets security updates after woulds | 17:27 |
| dimkin | it's too confusing to my mega CPU :D | 17:27 |
| coz_ | roasted, well at least that is correct... a month or so should have most of the glitches worked out,, if you find a way to move the Unity launcher let me know :) | 17:27 |
| trailoryo | Anyone knows why im not allowed to make new partitions in GParted? | 17:27 |
| guy24 | im trying to read my encrypted hard drive | 17:27 |

| codingenesis | ActionParsnip: can you tell me why don't mobile phones can have faster and more powerfull processors?? It's limitation ?? | 17:27 |
| fi103910 | sebsebseb - shouldn't the boot be exactly identical, regardless of which way I boot ? Default or "older version" - as long as the version I select is the same kernel version ? | 17:27 |
| sebsebseb | coz_: roasted they will continue work on Unity for 11.10 yes, but don't expect those changes to end up in Unity in 11.04 | 17:27 |
| ActionParsnip | trailoryo: is the drive in use, or partitions you are trying to manipultae mounted? | 17:27 |
| Kruptein | sebsebseb, ActionParsnip well I have upgraded already :D so would downgrading be dangerous? | 17:27 |
| ojii | is there a way to change the shortcuts in the launcher? I won't ever need the "view photos" one so replacing it with something which is useful to me would be nice | 17:27 |
| ActionParsnip | codingenesis: power consumption | 17:27 |
| roasted | sebsebseb, that sounds so fail. hate to sound negative but, that's really bad. | 17:27 |
| coz_ | sebsebseb, that also makes sense | 17:27 |
| coz_ | :) | 17:27 |
| ray24 | hi, how do you auto-authenticate wireless keyring? | 17:28 |
| codingenesis | ActionParsnip: Is that it's limitation lies in hardware?? | 17:28 |
| trailoryo | ActionParsnip, yes | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | codingenesis: more mhz = more power = shorter battery life | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | trailoryo: then thats why | 17:28 |
| codingenesis | ActionParsnip: ya that is a main point. | 17:28 |
| guy24 | sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /media/sda1 crypt1 | 17:28 |
| guy24 | Cannot open device /media/sda1 for read-only access. | 17:28 |
| trailoryo | ActionParsnip, oh, so what do I do then lol. | 17:28 |
| guy24 | does anybody has a clue ? | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | codingenesis: you can clock / underclock rooted android phones buy the battery life will go seriosly down if you make it faster | 17:28 |
| sebsebseb | roasted: well Ubuntu isn't a rolling release like.... well there are people here who don't like other distro's being mentioned in here, but one does come to mind, when it comes to getting security updates, but also proper later versions of programs when stable enough. | 17:29 |
| coz_ | guy24, is /media/sda1 a partition ,, what is it? | 17:29 |
| ActionParsnip | trailoryo: get the partitions freed. If you are trying to manipulate the partitions and disk you are booted to it won't work. You will need a livecd environment | 17:29 |
| sebsebseb | roasted: of course as far as I know Unity is pretty much Ubuntu only at the moment though, because of certain technical reasons | 17:30 |
| codingenesis | ActionParsnip: so designing such an architecture for mobile phone which is power efficient is the key thing right ??? | 17:30 |
| trailoryo | ActionParsnip, ok :) thanks | 17:30 |
| ActionParsnip | codingenesis: if you can make the same app need less speed to run, or improve battery life then you can push CPUs faster | 17:30 |
| roasted | sebsebseb, well, I'm sure that has potential to change once ubuntu gets off of the guinea pig test-drive that they're currently doing with it. | 17:30 |

| Kruptein | I'm defintly not the only one who notices this speed issues | 17:31 |
| sebsebseb | roasted: no it will probably remain a versions distro, that only tends to get security updates, for well many years to come yet | 17:31 |
| codingenesis | ActionParsnip: thanks :) | 17:31 |
| roasted | sebsebseb, I have no idea what you just said. I'm referring to Unity on other distros. | 17:31 |
| KatronixSerf | Hi all, I think I changed what my swap partition is, is there an easy way to verify the server is using the new swap partition? | 17:32 |

| ayecee | fi103910: sec, I think ubottu has an entry for removing extra kernels. | 17:41 |
| codingenesis | ayecee: i want to become an active member in ubuntu's development process... | 17:41 |
| coz_ | sdwrage, well you can ,, using a live cd reinstall grub after installing windows7.. although I dont know if any particular attention has to be made with windows7.. you may want to go to t he #grub channel and discuss it there,, unless someone here knows for sure | 17:41 |
| omid-o | sdwrage i think you better install windows 7 first.but anyway u can use Gparted and create an ntfs partition and install windows.after the installition of windows u can use the ubuntu live disk to repair the grub and multiboot ubuntu and windows | 17:41 |
| Pici | codingenesis: Heres a good start; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment | 17:42 |
| lapion | omid-o, when you installed ubuntu you got extra partitions on the drive, then the partition numbers change, so you need to modify the SUsE fstab to use UUID instead of /dev/sd?? | 17:42 |
| sdwrage | thanks | 17:42 |
| MarconM | how know how to delete temporary file on unity | 17:42 |
| coz_ | bluelf, then I am not sure,, have you googled ubuntu 11.04 xbmc ppa to see if others are available and have been tested...yes? | 17:42 |
| ayecee | fi103910: I can't find it. It should be like removing any other package, remove it with apt-get remove or synaptic | 17:42 |
| lapion | how to stop an application on natty from restarting each time it gets killed | 17:43 |
| omid-o | lapion no. i created 2 seprate partitions one for " / " and one for "home" . i did the same during the installition of ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04 and didnt have that proplem. | 17:43 |
| ayecee | fi103910: the package name will start with linux-image. Make sure you don't remove the kernel that's actually running, though the package tools should warn you about that. | 17:43 |
| fi103910 | ayecee - alright, thanks, that's a good tip - I'll try to investigate more ! | 17:44 |

| numbah1hax0r | what? | 17:59 |
| coz_ | superMariohardco, then it should be picked up automatically unless the manufacturer has somehow made it not be recognized as wacom | 17:59 |
| Guest27469 | numbah1hax0r, yes you can do it | 18:00 |
| ilea | does anyone know how can i install pclinuxos in dual boot with windows? | 18:00 |
| numbah1hax0r | how do i emulate an iso on ubuntu? | 18:00 |
| LjL | ilea: this is the Ubuntu channel | 18:00 |
| rafi | ok,that is url:http://paste.ubuntu.com/602382/ | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | xiambax: how is that related to democracy? | 18:00 |
| LjL | numbah1hax0r: you type sudo mount -o loop filename.iso /mnt/whatever | 18:00 |
| ilea | i asked on the pclinuxos and nobody answers | 18:00 |
| ItzDippieDoo | Could anyone help me with .tar.gz extentions? | 18:00 |
| Halzen | ilea: The installation process should include a partitioning option. Shrink your Windows partition to make room, then install in the free space with the PCLinux live CD. | 18:00 |
| ilea | and are only 22-25 there | 18:00 |
| LjL | ItzDippieDoo: type tar xf filename.tar.gz to extract it | 18:00 |
| Guest27469 | numbah1hax0r, well you dont have to "emulate" it. what you want to mount | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ItzDippieDoo: ask away | 18:01 |
| xiambax | Its voting day in Canada | 18:01 |
| xiambax | Like actually government voting day | 18:01 |
| ilea | ok i will try | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | xiambax: that is offtopic here. This is ubuntu support ONLY | 18:01 |
| ilea | thanks | 18:01 |
| LjL | ilea: well we can't really help you with other distros here, sorry | 18:01 |
| ItzDippieDoo | ActionParsnip : Managed to extract it, now what? :) | 18:01 |
| rafi | i solve same problem in ubuntu 10.04 with installing nvidia driver,but in 11.04,ican't solve it | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ItzDippieDoo: what filename was it? | 18:01 |
| ItzDippieDoo | ActionParsnip : .tar.gz | 18:01 |
| xiambax | ok well in the case i want to port me ubuntu to run on my tandy, with no lose of features. | 18:01 |
| xiambax | can you help? | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ItzDippieDoo: no, the full name | 18:01 |
| superMariohardco | in the terminal constantly get an error about the version, although I would point out its true coz_ | 18:02 |
| ilea | i got a little help from halzen and i managed to make room and now i install | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | xiambax: what cpu does it use? | 18:02 |
| ilea | :) | 18:02 |
| numbah1hax0r | /mnt/? | 18:02 |
| numbah1hax0r | Isn't their an easier way? :/ | 18:02 |
| Halzen | ilea: Good to hear. :) | 18:02 |
| coz_ | superMariohardco, the version of the driver or the tablet itself? | 18:02 |
| lucas | hi everyone! Using putty logged into my server via ssh. Can use x applications. How can I start a whole gnome session in a window? | 18:02 |

| Pudabudigada | Is there a way to roll back to 10.10? | 18:02 |
| ItzDippieDoo | ActionParsnip : Oh, didnt think that mattered. ' mupen64plus-bundle-bin-32-1.99.1.tar.gz ' | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas: I wouldn't bother, just run the apps you need | 18:02 |
| ilea | by the way pclinuxos with the enlighment desktop looks so cool | 18:03 |
| ilea | :) | 18:03 |
| Pudabudigada | Or are 11.04's issues likely to be fixed soon? | 18:03 |
| superMariohardco | of the driver coz_ | 18:03 |
| numbah1hax0r | so ljl | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ItzDippieDoo: ok just curious, what files do you have? Is it source? | 18:03 |
| LjL | ItzDippieDoo: it matters because a .tar.gz file is simply a compressed archive (like ZIP files). what you do with it entirely depends on what's in it | 18:03 |
| numbah1hax0r | sudo apt-get gmountiso | 18:03 |
| numbah1hax0r | ? | 18:03 |
| Halzen | Guys, don't deny support to people that use Ubuntu derivatives. Linux Mint and PCLinuxOS are just as compatible as Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, etc. | 18:03 |
| coz_ | superMariohardco, mm.. hold on let me see if there is a linuxwacom channel | 18:03 |
| milen8204 | UUID=71ec6a02-10f0-4ee7-85bd-dea3aa9fbb2d/homeext4defoults00 | 18:03 |
| lucas | AcuinParsnip: Just seems cool to do remote administration using the entire GUI | 18:03 |
| LjL | Halzen: they also have their own support channels, and they're not official derivatives. we support official Ubuntu here | 18:03 |
| milen8204 | what shuld write mor e ? | 18:03 |
| coz_ | superMariohardco, there is indeed just type /join #linuxwacom | 18:03 |
| ilea | thats the word halzen | 18:03 |
| fx | So, SSH wont connect, yet is running | 18:03 |
| gsp2009 | hey there folks. Unity and notifier. Do they play nice? Dropbox, printer, skype. None show up in top panel. Anyone seen this? | 18:03 |
| lucas | ActionParsnip: Just seems cool to do remote administration using the entire GUI | 18:04 |
| ilea | we should help each other no matter what distro we have | 18:04 |
| llutz | milen8204: "defaults" | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas: its really inefficient | 18:04 |
| Halzen | Pudabudigada: Unfortunately, there is no way to revert other than a backup and clean install. Minor fixes in 11.04 will come regularly, but major changes will have to wait until 11.10 is released in October. | 18:04 |
| LjL | Halzen: we have no idea what they *may* contain or how they may actually work | 18:04 |
| coz_ | superMariohardco, I have never frequented that channel so I have no idea when or how many are online at any given time | 18:04 |
| LjL | ilea: yes, in ##linux, not here. here it's about Ubuntu | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gsp2009: my dropbox does, try resetting panels to defaults, may help | 18:04 |
| milen8204 | llutz, and then after "," | 18:04 |
| Halzen | LjL: The same can be said to someone (like me and many of the other users here) that uses Ubuntu with a custom kernel. Uncertainty to custom installs will always be. | 18:05 |
| numbah1hax0r | hey LjL | 18:05 |
| gsp2009 | ActionParsnip, deleting .gnome, .gnome2 etc? | 18:05 |
| superMariohardco | thanks coz_ | 18:05 |
| LjL | Halzen: as a matter of fact custom kernels aren't really supported. | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas: install something like lxde and you can run LXDE over the ssh | 18:05 |
| ItzDippieDoo | ActionParsnip : Nevermind, found out there was an executeable in it. Sorry for wasting your time :p | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !panels | gsp2009 | 18:05 |
| ubottu | gsp2009: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 18:05 |
| numbah1hax0r | How do I run I run gmountiso?? | 18:05 |
| coz_ | gsp2009, there is a fix for the dropbox showing up hold on let me get link | 18:05 |
| Pudabudigada | Halzen, Thanks. | 18:05 |
| LjL | anyway it's the channel rules, no use arguing them really. if you really want to, #ubuntu-ops | 18:05 |
| gsp2009 | ActionParsnip, nice. Thanks. | 18:05 |
| ssharm200 | gsp2009: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html | 18:05 |

| rafi | please,someone help me,i cant change my display brightness with fn key | 18:05 |
| LjL | numbah1hax0r: alt+f2 and type "gmountiso" | 18:05 |
| Halzen | LjL: This sort of crap is part of what's making me switch to Fedora when my SSD gets here. xD | 18:05 |

| milen8204 | llutz, I have to add defaults,...(some user i didn't remember the name) | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip | gsp2009: I recommend you learn cli confg, then you can script stuff and make life a lot easier rather than slow GUIs | 18:06 |
| ssharm200 | coz_: we had the same link.. :) thanks | 18:06 |
| Guest27469 | numbah1hax0r, you dont need to install anything mount command works too :) | 18:06 |
| coz_ | ssharm200, cool | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip | gsp2009: also add the -C option to the connection, it will enable compression | 18:06 |
| sipior | Halzen: i imagine they'll tell you the same thing, in their support channels. | 18:06 |
| scoffin | is there some secret magic needed to get samba to share files? [11.04] I can connect from a remote machine, but 11.04 does not offer the shares I have set up... any ideas? | 18:06 |
| coz_ | gsp2009, there are a few tricks there worth trying out | 18:06 |
| Halzen | rafi: That's a driver issue. Start by typing sudo gedit /etc/default/grub into a terminal, then tell me once you have that open. | 18:06 |
| cafaroooo | How can I grow an mdadm raid1 array using a live-cd? I cannot use it from my system, because the raid has to be unmounted before I can resize it.. I'm not sure what steps to follow, before i can issue the "mdadm --grow" command on the live cd.... | 18:06 |
| numbah1hax0r | Guest27469, but I don't understand the command. | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip | scoffin: is samba installed? | 18:06 |
| numbah1hax0r | What goes in /mnt/? | 18:06 |

| rafi | yes it is opend | 18:07 |

| Halzen | rafi: Good. Now change the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" into GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux" | 18:08 |
| Morten_ | hehe, thanks llutz, sipior and LjL :) | 18:08 |
| numbah1hax0r | Guest27469, Where do i find the article? | 18:08 |

| noes1s | What is the file/script used every time that i connect to a network? | 18:08 |
| spotter | can no longer specify a custom program | 18:08 |
| Halzen | Once that's done, type sudo update-grub into the terminal. A reboot may be necessary. | 18:08 |
| Lxndr | Dear Ubuntu: How can I make the launcher work like older editions? I'm frustrated that I need to alt-tab to get to my various windows, and would like to actually see tabs for my various windows on the bottom, as I used to do.

| spotter | Lxndr, login from gdm with "classic" | 18:09 |
| Lxndr | LjL: Sounds good. How do I get to that? Will I need to log out and back in? | 18:09 |

| LjL | numbah1hax0r: use gmountiso then | 18:09 |
| researcher123 | is anybody here using 11.04 | 18:09 |
| numbah1hax0r | how? | 18:09 |
| === lance_ is now known as Guest92279 | ||
| LjL | numbah1hax0r: *sigh* i told you how. hit alt+f2 and then type "gmountiso" | 18:09 |
| Guest27469 | numbah1hax0r, write in terminal man mount | 18:09 |
| guy45 | is there anyway i can find out the type of encryption i used when i installed ubuntu? | 18:10 |
| guy45 | Device /dev/sda1 is not a valid LUKS device. | 18:10 |

| numbah1hax0r | Could not open location 'file:///home/alex/gmountiso' | 18:10 |

| rafi | it is done,should i reboot my laptop? | 18:11 |
| numbah1hax0r | lol :P | 18:11 |
| LjL | numbah1hax0r: open a terminal, and type "sudo apt-get install gmountiso" (or alternatively, get it from Synaptic if you prefer the GUI) | 18:11 |
| MrADz | Best backup software? | 18:11 |
| Halzen | rafi: Try adjusting your brightness. If it isn't working now, then yes, reboot. | 18:11 |

| numbah1hax0r | Synapatic? | 18:12 |
| coz_ | dp, not sure about that unless you did sudo apt-get autoremove --purge,, that should remove dependecies that are NOT used by other applications | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !backup MrADz | 18:12 |

| econdudeawesome | That was the question I meant to ask :-D | 18:15 |

| Halzen | RavenHursT: Well, I doubt you wanna clear your existing install just to try another OS out. Until you're sure it's what you want to use primarily, give Ubuntu about 20GB to play with. | 18:16 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: I set it up to boot into a tty shell instead (very old computer) | 18:16 |

| Pudabudigada | After the generously-named 'upgrade', my synaptic isn't working, which I want to use to try to fix my sound, any help? | 18:19 |
| Halzen | mister_m: Because Natty may be stable, but it's about as usable as Debian 3. I call it Ubuntu Vista. | 18:19 |
| Guest27469 | rafi, lspci tells what nvidia you have | 18:20 |

| Pudabudigada | Halzen, Yes. | 18:20 |
| Guest27469 | milen8204, wiki reiserfs :) | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Halzen: its only as unstable as it is because its so young. Give it a month or so and it will be fine | 18:20 |
| deeztek | problem with wifi 11.04 dell inspriton. Worked fine with 10.04 | 18:20 |
| Halzen | Pudabudigada: I never recommend that. I would back up your home folder and do a fresh install of 11.04. | 18:20 |
| Pudabudigada | Wonderful... | 18:21 |
| rafi | GeForce9300 | 18:21 |

| Guest27469 | milen8204, best file system is ext4 | 18:21 |
| Halzen | mister_m: If you upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04, I would back up your home folder and do a clean install. That often fixes issues caused by a distro upgrade. | 18:21 |
| Pudabudigada | Halzen, Will I keep installed applications that way? | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest27469: there is no best filesystem | 18:21 |

| mouzil | thank you guys | 18:22 |
| Guest27469 | ActionParsnip, yeah there are systems where you can use only ext2 etc... | 18:22 |
| milen8204 | Guest27469, ok but mine /home FS is reiserfs | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | mouzil: or you can use software centre to remove them that way | 18:22 |

| dp | dpkg is complaining that gconf2 could not be configured because a subprocess post-installation script returned exit status 127. how can I find out what script failed? | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest27469: if you think there are only ext2, ext3 and ext4 you are mistaken: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems | 18:24 |
| Halzen | mister_m: It's a Debian concept (remember that Ubuntu is based on Debian). Debian stable upgrades work just fine. It just isn't as effective for Debian's child. | 18:24 |
| improveupon | i was running ubuntu lucid and it kept not coming back after the screen saver came up. this morning i upgraded to natty. it wouldn't come back after the screen saver. i went to a command prompt and rebooted (was there something better i should have done?). now it says no init detected when i boot. ubuntu recovery mode still works, so i can be root. i am pretty novice and am floundering for | 18:25 |

| Guest27469 | ActionParsnip, yeah you ue what you need;) i need ext4 | 18:26 |
| Halzen | improveupon: You dist-upgraded to a new OS with a new kernel and package system. This will cause new problems and exasperate your existing ones. Try backing up your /home and doing a clean install. | 18:26 |
| Guest27469 | ActionParsnip, use | 18:26 |

| stefg | sss314: make sure to have a valid backup... there is no downgrading, so if you hate 11.04 you'll have to reinstall 10.10 | 18:34 |

| Halzen | sss314: Most of your important data is in your /home folder, so back that up first. Any custom icons and themes will be in their own folders in /usr/share/. Other than that, all you'll have to do is personalize the OS and redownload your apts. | 18:37 |

| iceroot | Halzen: if you just change your /etc/apt/sources.list and do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade then maybe its broken often but that case we dont care, we support the update maager | 18:43 |
| iceroot | Halzen: so please dont tell peolpe that upgrades are broken very often | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | sachin: what happens? What bits work? What message do you get? We can't see your screen so you will have to give us more details than "didn't work" if you expect any sort of help | 18:43 |
| bahar | thanks.. the output is located here http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3c6e7f53f162ad01d0c2e789a6537c2b532f3461 | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | sachin: or do you simply expect us to guess? | 18:43 |
| zvacet | Halzen: sudo apt-get -dist-upgrade will upgrade packages on your existing release but will not upgrade you to the next release | 18:43 |
| Halzen | iceroot: I've seen plenty of broken upgrades through the GUI mangers, both Synaptic and Ubuntu's update manager. | 18:44 |

| ActionParsnip | zizban: i think its fine | 18:46 |
| gn0 | I'am going to purchase a Dell Inspiron 15R with a Sandy-Bridge based Intel Core i5 2410M. After reading some bad news about Intel Sandy-Bridge and Linux, I had noticed that Ubuntu 11.04 Beta2 supports Sandy-Bridge, so, here's the real question. Does Ubuntu 11.04 stable support 3d graphics with Sandy-Bridge or at least VAAPI acceleration with mplayer or similar? | 18:46 |
| zvacet | Halzen: you can now upgrade from desktop cd of course back up if something goes wrong | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | MrADz: ~/.mozilla/thunderbird (might be a capital T) | 18:46 |
| stefg | zizban: glad it works for you... so you obviously belong to the target audience | 18:46 |
| MrADz | ActionParsnip, Thanks | 18:46 |
| Olson_ | I having trouble with my wacom tablet in 11.04, I can't work it out, seems all pressure sensitivity is gone, apart from slighting on and completely ON.. i've tried uninstalling all drivers that i can find in synaptic, restarting, etc.. is there some problem I not know about? | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | MrADz: if you use firefox too, just backup ~/.mozilla and you are laughing :) | 18:47 |
| zizban | I must be a target audience, go me. | 18:47 |
| zizban | I cant wait for Unity2d so I can use it on geriatric laptop here | 18:47 |
| sachin | actionparsnip-help? | 18:47 |
| stefg | zizban: debian with lxde for them | 18:47 |
| xangua | !info unity-2d | zizban | 18:48 |
| ubottu | zizban: unity-2d (source: unity-2d): Unity interface for non-accelerated graphics cards. In component main, is optional. Version 3.8.4.1-0ubuntu1 (natty), package size 7 kB, installed size 124 kB | 18:48 |
| zvacet | stefg: it works for me too and I think it is hardware issues so we can expect fixes | 18:48 |
| ohsix | gn0: i don't know about vaapi, you can check the vaapi repo and see, it's pretty threadbare for answering questions like that; but generally the new cards are fairly well supported, engineers are working on drivers before general availability | 18:48 |
| jwmto | I'm having sound problems on an IMAC running natty. Can anyone help or direct me to a better room to seek help? | 18:48 |
| zizban | oooo I can have it now? Cool | 18:48 |
| ohsix | jwmto: can you describe the problem? | 18:48 |
| Halzen | jwmto: You're at the right place. Just let us know what the problem is and we'll do what we can. | 18:49 |
| jwmto | yes: the headphone jack doesnt seem to be recognized | 18:49 |
| Guest54461 | I recently installed ubuntu and lvm, but I do not think lvm was installed correctly, for one the disk manager shows only a swap partition on the second harddrive and the rest of it empty, can someone help me figure out what i did wrong? | 18:49 |
| Halzen | jwmto: Could you be more specific on what kind of iMac you have? Do you know what processor it has? | 18:49 |
| Superstar | Can someone help me install Cinelerra? I've added the ppa through the instructions on launchpad and I went into the package manager, hit reload, but there are no packages to upgrade nor can I find it when I search for it | 18:49 |
| sss314 | Does 11.04 work as fast(or slow) as 10.10? | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | sachin: I asked you a question.. | 18:49 |
| gn0 | ohsix: Thanks for your help, I didn't thinked about looking for support information in vaapi repos. | 18:49 |
| jwmto | the other dimension of the problem is that in trying to fix it last month I changed the naming of the computer in I don't know what file | 18:49 |
| zizban | sss314: if you have the right hardware 11.04 flies | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | jwmto: in BOTH /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname | 18:50 |
| Zeeofu | I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 on virtubox but unity is not working. | 18:50 |
| zvacet | stefg: you have awesome on llubuntu but I don´t like it very much | 18:50 |
| jwmto | 24 inch IMAC, 2.8GHz dual core | 18:50 |
| * zizban is biased. He loves Unity. Yes he does | 18:50 | |
| xangua | Superstar: maybe the ppa is not for natty, last time it didn't even had packages for maverick | 18:50 |
| ActionParsnip | jwmto: open both for editing using sudo and then change both files, | 18:50 |
| zizban | VirtualBox doesn't have 3d accel, thus no Unity | 18:50 |
| * helo high-fives zizban | 18:50 | |
| ActionParsnip | zizban: it can | 18:50 |
| Halzen | sss314: That's a bit of a loaded question. Unity 3D is a bit slower than Gnome, but Unity 2D is usually faster. KDE is still the heaviest desktop, and you still have options like Xubuntu and Lubuntu for a more lightweight desktop. | 18:50 |
| rafi | tnx to evryone | 18:50 |
| rafi | bye | 18:51 |
| Superstar | xangua it's listed for natty | 18:51 |
| zizban | ah, things you learn | 18:51 |
| Zeeofu | zizban: Will it work on vmware. | 18:51 |
| sss314 | Is the only difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu is the GUI? | 18:51 |
| jwmto | ActionParsnip. thanks. gimme a second | 18:51 |
| zizban | ah ok | 18:51 |
| helo | i have a relatively old setup with 1GB, athlon 64 4000+, and geforce 6700 video, and unity runs great | 18:51 |
| * zizban thinks real men use real hardware | 18:51 | |
| xangua | Latest Cinelerra CV 2.1.5 for 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, 10.04 Lucid Lynx, 9.10 Karmic Koala, 8.04 Hardy Heron, are available from a Launchpad repo maintained by Nicola Ferralis< it's not Superstar | 18:51 |
| morgan | ActionParsnip: I followed the instructions on the hompage to get my Broadcam WiFi to work but it did not help. i cant seam to enable wireless networking at all... | 18:51 |
| Halzen | sss314: The change in DE (Desktop Environment) means that you'll be swapping out some apps (Gedit, for example is a Gnome text editor, while emacs is for KDE), but the core OS is mostly the same. | 18:52 |
| Superstar | xangua: https://launchpad.net/~cinelerra-ppa/+archive/ppa lists "1:2.1.5-0.14~ppa1~natty5" under published packages | 18:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | xangua | 18:52 |

| Olson_ | does anyone on 11.04 have Wacom tablet working correctly? | 18:53 |
| ActionParsnip | morgan: if you run: rfkill list are any adapters blocked? | 18:53 |
| xangua | ActionParsnip: i am not searching for a ppa :S | 18:53 |
| jwmto | ActionParsnip: which two files in BOTH /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname ? | 18:53 |
| i_is_broke | yeah, well anyone had issues of proprietary drivers not being used after activating? | 18:53 |
| Halzen | sss314: Of course, most apps work just fine outside of their native DE. My roommate's machine is running XFCE along with a few Gnome apps just fine. | 18:53 |
| MrADz | Evolution files are where? | 18:53 |
| Zeeofu | Yes, 11.04 works fine on my hp tx2609 | 18:54 |
| ActionParsnip | jwmto: yes, change both if you want to change hostname of a system. If you change one then try to run sudo, it will fail and you will need to drop to root recovery mode to edit the other | 18:54 |
| sss314 | Halzen, ok, maybe I'll install Xubuntu | 18:54 |
| morgan | ActionParsnip: I would like to try but now my whole pute froze up. I cant change windos. can move my mouse and type here, but not click anything. Dang... | 18:54 |

| peto_ | hi | 18:54 |
| Superstar | ActionParsnip can you help me install it? I've added the PPA but I don't know what to do next as Synaptic doesn't show the package when reloading but it is in the repositories | 18:54 |
| Halzen | sss314: I like Xubuntu, but I prefer Gnome on a machine that can handle Gnome. Luckily, there are guides on switching from one DE to another easily, no reinstall required. :) | 18:54 |
| jwmto | ActionParsnip it's not the hostname that is the problem | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Superstar: try in terminal. run: sudo apt-get update before you start | 18:55 |
| Zeeofu | Which Linux os provides best unix experience. | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | jwmto: whats the issue? | 18:55 |
| jwmto | i can't get the headphone jack to work | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeeofu: thats an opinion so is never concrete | 18:55 |
| venik | when I upgraded to thunderbird 3.1.9 I was told that lightning is not compatible with it (v. 1.02b) on 64 bit ubuntu. What do I do? | 18:55 |
| Halzen | Zeeofu: That's a pretty vague question. What are you looking for in particular? | 18:55 |
| MrADz | ActionParsnip, Thanks mate. Backup running now | 18:55 |
| trailoryo | is it possible to change from unity to classic from the terminal? and other way? Or do you have to log out | 18:55 |

| xangua | Superstar: as you can see, the ppa says it failed to build packages for natty | 18:56 |
| xangua | trailoryo: log out | 18:56 |
| sipior | Zeeofu: so...install OpenBSD? | 18:56 |
| Superstar | xangua it doesn't say it's failed | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | jwmto: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh | 18:56 |
| zvacet | sss314: if you are looking for something light try lubuntu | 18:56 |
| Halzen | Zeeofu: Well, this definitely isn't that. xD Try FreeBSD or OpenBSD, and look up derivatives of those. | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeeofu: pc-bsd is good for bsd newcomers | 18:57 |

| ohsix | peto_: are you using unity? that thing at the top isn't a panel and that isn't an applet; the old one still exists but it lives on a panel D: | 19:01 |
| peto_ | xangua, 'classic'? | 19:01 |
| ActionParsnip | jwmto: try adding: options snd-hda-intel model=mbp55 to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf you appear to have options snd-hda-intel model=asus-a7m and options snd-hda-intel model=macpro currently which is weird | 19:01 |
| xangua | peto_: yes, on your login screen | 19:01 |
| Olson_ | Halzen, new kernel arrived today via synaptic, it hasn't cured problem | 19:02 |
| ActionParsnip | morgan: all I can suggest is reboot and run: dmesg | less and read through to se what's shaking | 19:02 |
| peto_ | ohsix, yes I'm using Unity | 19:02 |
| jwmto | Thanks ActionParsnip. I'll get back to you. Should I reboot to know if it's working? | 19:02 |
| peto_ | xangua, but, can I keep Unity? | 19:02 |
| ActionParsnip | jwmto: yes, just commant out the current texts so you can roll back easily | 19:02 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: it's not weird when people have been trying random model options and not reporting bugs :D | 19:02 |
| debd | does anyone know if this will work for dual boot disks? http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/ | 19:02 |

| Pici | spartan-11510: apt-get source packagename | 19:06 |
| Olson_ | Halzen, it must be something to do with X configuration though, to be honest, perhaps I can just kinda reset everything | 19:06 |
| amnon__ | i have a panasonic nv-mx500 and i can't get it to work! it's identified in USB (dmesg, lsusb) but kino and other programs say they can't identify a camera. help please. | 19:07 |
| schweegi | i can't mount my external hdd on the live disc. it seems to be mounted one second and then is the external hdd removed. what can i do to solve this problem? | 19:07 |
| Halzen | Olson_: typically, Xorg will reconfigure itself independent of your kernel choice. Just give it a shot. If Liquorix gives you trouble, you can always boot back into the generic kernel you had before. | 19:07 |
| jwmto | thank Oh6 | 19:07 |
| spartan-11510 | Pici, yes but i don't know where i can begin... | 19:08 |
| Olson_ | Halzen, perhaps I will try that, you've given me idea to have a go with first though, and that is to try removing video card drivers, reset X and start over with that | 19:08 |
| spartan-11510 | What package? | 19:08 |
| Pici | spartan-11510: You want to contribute to Ubuntu? | 19:08 |
| spartan-11510 | Yes | 19:08 |

| sine_ | hi guys, is there an ftp where i can get the latest ubuntu for my i7 64bit laptop | 19:10 |
| Halzen | jaszandre: I love Gedit! What problems are you having? | 19:10 |
| LjL | sine_: why does it have to be an ftp? | 19:11 |
| jaszandre | when I write Gedit in the Terminal .. I have an alert message | 19:11 |
| sine_ | ljl it doesnt but i have filezilla open and thought it would be nice to have resume if needed | 19:11 |
| morgan | ActionParsnip: I have all the text, but can't really make out where stuf whent wrong. Have tried to go through it. What am I looking for? | 19:11 |

| trailoryo | jaszandre, try writing gedit, not Gedit | 19:12 |

| bsamson | Has anybody else had trouble with full screen flash video freezing the xserver in Natty? | 19:13 |
| ubunub | when i turn on my netbook, it loads grub and then it pauses for a while. after that it goes to a shell, and if i type in 'exit' it then loads ubuntu. im setting up this netbook for friend, and i dont want it to tdo that everytie he tuns on ubntu. | 19:13 |
| Halzen | bsamson: That is a known Flash issue. Try opening your Flash preferences and disabling hardware acceleration. | 19:13 |
| ubunub | how do i fix it? the error message shown is somehing about it not finding root, whatever that is. | 19:14 |
| jaszandre | in fact, gedit works ... but I'm worried because of the message.. could you see the message ? I have it in paste.ubuntu | 19:14 |
| bsamson | Halzen: thanks ^^ you have a link to a case or anything? | 19:14 |
| trailoryo | jaszandre, the terminal is case sensitive. thats why you get error msg when typing Gedit. alt+F2 wont run Gedit neither. | 19:14 |

| ActionParsnip | ShockDoc: nobody at all | 19:15 |
| ubunub | i am! | 19:15 |
| ShockDoc | does anyone know how I can make ubuntu 11.04 boot in verbose mode? | 19:15 |
| Superstar | Can anyone help me install Cinelerra please? I've added the PPA, I've ran apt update, but still nothing? | 19:15 |
| pseubodot | is there any way I can force my ubuntu desktop to boot only to console? | 19:15 |
| Dr_Willis | wang_: You mean the left side launcher bar? | 19:15 |
| Halzen | bsamson: Ancient, but still very relevant. The problem has not been solved on even the newest version of Flash, the newest version of Ubuntu, and the newest Linux kernel. | 19:15 |
| ubunub | ShockDock yes | 19:16 |
| Dr_Willis | pseubodot: grub has a 'text' option that does just that. | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ShockDoc: press ESC when plymouth shows and you can watch the boot messages | 19:16 |
| ubunub | re you on the computer your using? | 19:16 |
| ShockDoc | I don't want to press ESC every time | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ShockDoc: alternatively you can run: dmesg | less and read them once you log in | 19:16 |
| Dr_Willis | pseubodot: edit /etc/default/grub and replace splash quiet with 'text' | 19:16 |
| wang_ | Dr_Willis, the top one.. by default is shows the name of the application you're on.. if you mouse over it it will give you the menu bars.. how do I make the menubars permantent | 19:16 |
| pseubodot | Dr_Willis:recovery mode, correct? | 19:16 |
| jaszandre | look at this please http://paste.ubuntu.com/602419/ | 19:16 |
| ShockDoc | ah | 19:16 |
| omidp | hey guys how can i solve this problem? You must have GTK+ 2.10.0 or newer development headers installed to compile | 19:16 |
| ShockDoc | text | 19:16 |
| ShockDoc | I've tried verbose | 19:16 |
| ShockDoc | didn't look | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ShockDoc: then remove the boot options: quiet splash in /etc/default/grub | 19:16 |
| DrDuck` | I would like to convert from gnome 3 back to unity for the 11.04 distribution. Any insight on how to go aboutdoing this would be great. | 19:16 |
| Dr_Willis | wang_: ahh you want the global menu to always be shown. Not notced a way to do that yet... | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ShockDoc: you will need to rn: sudo update-grub to apply the change | 19:17 |
| Dr_Willis | wang_: the webupd8 blog site had a list of tips and tweaks - it may be in there | 19:17 |
| ShockDoc | I'll try using text instead of verbose | 19:17 |
| ShockDoc | thanks for the help ; | 19:17 |
| spyhermit | so, anyone been able to use 11.04 inside virtualbox? | 19:17 |
| pseubodot | Dr_Willis: but I would have to run update-grub, no? | 19:17 |

| Dr_Willis | pseubodot: 'text' option is not the same as revovery mode,. and you always hacve to run update-gruvb after editing the configs | 19:17 |

| jensp | hey there, I'm having some trouble with sharing a printer with samba. The printer doesn't turn up in my samba shares, but the other shares do. When I restart samba the printer is there. There seems to be some kind of race condition where samba gets started before cups and doesn'T find the printers | 19:20 |
| jaszandre | I'm using ubuntu 10.10 | 19:20 |
| jensp | can I make samba depend on cupsd or something like that? | 19:20 |
| jensp | oh yeah I'm running 10.10 | 19:20 |
| Dr_Willis | wang_: check http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/disable-appmenu-global-menu-in-ubuntu.html | 19:20 |
| hadorhuorn | Halzen : yeah, I've googling for this problem for an hour or so, and I'm afraid there's nothing I can do :( | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | pseubodot: if grub menu is hidden. you tap the shift key to make it show up | 19:21 |
| jaszandre | that message's been there since yesterday | 19:21 |
| andeeeuk_ | hi everyone | 19:22 |
| Halzen | hadorhuorn: Unity is very young, and is proprietary to Canonical and Ubuntu. Gnome and KDE, on the other hand, are very established for all desktop purposes. That's just a reality at the moment. =/ | 19:22 |
| andeeeuk_ | does anyone know how to setup single window mode in gimp ubuntu? | 19:22 |
| pseubodot | Dr_Willis: trying | 19:22 |

| ubunub | when i turn on my netbook, it loads grub and then it pauses for a while. after that it goes to a shell, and if i type in 'exit' it then loads ubuntu. im setting up this netbook for friend, and i dont want it to tdo that everytie he tuns on ubntu. | 19:23 |
| ubunub | how do i fix it? the error message shown is somehing about it not finding root, whatever that is. | 19:23 |
| ShockDoc | I'm back fellas | 19:23 |
| ShockDoc | using the "text" option drops me down to a shell :/ | 19:23 |
| Halzen | jaszandre: I saw it, but I'm not sure how to solve it. I would try Googling one or two of the error lines. | 19:23 |
| ruffleS | hi guys. i'd like to ask you a question: will that swappiness trick still work on ubuntu 11.04? i've got 4gb ram and i'm considering making it swappiness=0. will that improve my OS responsiveness? oh, a 'free -m' tell me none of my 250mb swap is being used, by the way... | 19:23 |
| enlight22 | omg my system is screwed | 19:23 |
| trailoryo | I remember in one version when you swapped workspaces there was a cube turning around. Is it possible to get this in 11.04? or atleast is it possible to keybind(or something) workspaces? | 19:24 |
| Halzen | ruffleS: I have no reason to think that the swappiness won't still work. | 19:24 |
| enlight22 | why does my seperate x screen not accept keyboard input but i can paste to it, worked fine on 10.10, broken on 11.04 | 19:24 |
| maco | jensp: you can edit /etc/init/smbd.conf to add a dependency on the cups service | 19:24 |
| jaszandre | ok halsen.. ,.. I was looking for something similar ,too ..but I haven't found anything about it | 19:24 |
| ruffleS | andeeeuk_, i guess u'll have to have gimp 2.7 beta | 19:24 |
| ShockDoc | ActionParsnip, any ideas for my grub issue? | 19:24 |
| hadorhuorn | Halzen : Yeah, It works perfectly when launching in classic mode (and always have). Anyway thanks for the advice ;) | 19:25 |
| envygeeks | jaszandre: check your /.gtkrc-*.* file and see that those variables are TRUE OR FALSE | 19:25 |

| ActionParsnip | ShockDoc: i'm not good with grub | 19:25 |
| jaszandre | ok.. here I go envygeeks | 19:26 |
| ShockDoc | anyone else know how can make 11.04 boot verbose? | 19:26 |
| ruffleS | Halzen, given 'free -m' tells me none of my 250mb swap is being used at the moment, do you think making swappiness=0 may improve my OS responsiveness/overall speed?? | 19:26 |
| === hashashin is now known as Guest53790 | ||
| varunthacker | I tried installing gnome3 | 19:26 |
| Halzen | ruffleS: It often improves system responsiveness, but remember that suspend and hibernate depend on swap by default. | 19:26 |
| JWay | I assigned caps lock to switch keyboard language and it worked perfect in 10.10, however in clean install 11.04, I am sometimes forces to press caps lock twice or thrice before it switches layout. Why does this happen? | 19:26 |
| varunthacker | I keep getting the .ICEauthority error | 19:27 |
| pseubodot | Dr_Willis: okay, I used the shift key as you said, then changed the grub cmd line part from 'quiet splash' to 'text' | 19:27 |
| ruffleS | andeeeuk_, i'm not sure where you can get it, sorry.... maybe a PPA... | 19:27 |

| varunthacker | how do i connect to my home network | 19:28 |
| Halzen | ChrisBuchholz: You will likely need to build that from a tarball source, since the PPA version is up to 3.1 | 19:28 |

| ruffleS | ShockDoc, there's another thing you can try... i don't know if this would apply to ubuntu anymore but i would try finding out how to switch the runlevel | 19:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Ubuntu dosent really use runlevels any more. the 'text' option shoud get to a TExt only login. | 19:33 |
| sine_ | is there gparted in the cd of latest ubuntu so i can resize my partition | 19:34 |
| morgan | I have just insalled the 11.04 and the wireless is not working. | 19:34 |

| sine_ | Dr_Willis: aptget install it in livemode | 19:34 |
| ShockDoc | k ruffleS , just a sec | 19:34 |
| tasslehoff | Dr_Willis: ok. | 19:34 |
| Dr_Willis | ShockDoc: you did run update-grub? if its still not working. could be grub is installing to the wrong place. and you are using an old grub. | 19:35 |
| andeeeuk_ | Halzen i have that all done, what do you use? | 19:35 |
| Halzen | andeeeuk_: If that is updated, you should have a single-window option. | 19:35 |
| Dr_Willis | sine_: you can install packatges on a live-desktopp session.. they will get lost after reboot ofcourse :) | 19:35 |
| ShockDoc | nah Dr_Willis , the grub is brand new :p | 19:35 |
| andeeeuk_ | Halzen i think i need to update my repos first and then it will upgrade | 19:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ShockDoc: it could be from an old er install, or differnt update-grub. ive had grub installed on 3+ hd;s befor.. that caused issues one day for me.. | 19:35 |
| pepee | hi. so I had this problem: I couldn't open some websites. by changing the MTU, could make it work for some, but others didn't open.. | 19:35 |
| andeeeuk_ | Halzen, do you use photoshot now then? | 19:36 |
| envygeeks | Dr_Willis: it depends remember, USB Sticks are considered live systems but you can alter it to be persistent too. | 19:36 |
| Halzen | andeeeuk_: Yes, I have Photoshop CS5 running smoothly under Wine. | 19:36 |
| pepee | so I (hope) think finally I've found the solution: http://serverfault.com/questions/235965/why-would-a-server-not-send-a-syn-ack-packet-in-response-to-a-syn-packet | 19:36 |
| Mopsy | any idea why it boots into gnome? | 19:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ShockDoc: you could also cut/paste a kernel entry from the /boot/grub.cfg to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and make it have the text option only. | 19:36 |
| andeeeuk_ | Halzen, nice one!! | 19:36 |
| Dr_Willis | envygeeks: I do 'full' normal installs to my usbs :) | 19:36 |
| envygeeks | Halzen: You have a link to the tutorial you used to get CS5 to work smooth? | 19:36 |
| Guest54461 | can lvm act as a RAID drive and reduce disk read time? | 19:36 |
| ShockDoc | Dr_Willis, ?? | 19:36 |
| andeeeuk_ | Halzen, do you have any problems with it at all? | 19:36 |
| Halzen | envygeeks: Check the comments in the WineHQ AppDB. | 19:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ShockDoc: if you are ediing /etc/default/grub nd the changes are not takeing effect. then somthing very weird is going on. | 19:37 |
| envygeeks | Thanks Halzen, will do | 19:37 |
| Halzen | andeeeuk_: For a while, I had a couple of glitches, but my own tweaks and a new kernel have it running silk. | 19:37 |

| andeeeuk_ | Halzen good stuff, I had cs4 running without any problems | 19:38 |

So the ordinary wired network works. I have ticked the 'Networking Enabled' options and in the Ubuntu 10.04 I had before had one for wireless to be ticked too. I don't have it.

| andeeeuk_ | Halzen, was really good | 19:38 |
| Guest54461 | Why is everyone ignoring me? | 19:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ShockDoc: that would not be affecting grub. some options in grub can fix the plymouth/nvidia issues that often are a problem | 19:38 |

| andeeeuk_ | Halzen, I would do but it does dost a lot | 19:39 |

| === Guest54461 is now known as ChessTeach | ||
| ShockDoc | now I have GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" | 19:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ShockDoc: you could try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and see where grub is isntalling to.. make sure its the same hd you are booting. | 19:39 |
| ShockDoc | I'I'm sure of that Dr_Willis , installed to the MBR | 19:39 |
| Halzen | andeeeuk_: Yes, it's definitely costly. I'm a professional graphic designer, and GIMP just wasn't cutting it for me. However, I do use Inkscape in place of Illustrator. I think GIMP is coming along just fine, too. | 19:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ShockDoc: save it. rerun 'sudo update-grub' then check the /boot/grub.cfg to see if the options tool affect. | 19:39 |

| ShockDoc | shall I reboot? | 19:40 |
| Dr_Willis | ShockDoc: grub.cfg has the changes in it? | 19:40 |
| Halzen | myrmidette: Can you be a bit more specific? What OS are you trying to burn it with? | 19:41 |
| andeeeuk_ | Halzen, yeah for a pro i can see why, I have been uding gimp for a while now as well and have found it a great tool. Really bad without single window mode though | 19:41 |
| myrmidette | Halzen, ubuntu 10.04 | 19:41 |
| Dr_Willis | myrmidette: what tool are you using to put it on an usb? | 19:41 |
| Halzen | myrmidette: Ah, yes, Lucid gave me a hard time with the built-in tool. Unetbootin worked fine, though. | 19:41 |
| ruffleS | ShockDoc, the splash screen is probably hard coded into the kernel.. if i were you i would try both googling and reading 'man /etc/default/grub' | 19:42 |
| ShockDoc | uh yes Dr_Willis | 19:42 |
| myrmidette | it only gets to the bootloader (syslinux) and then freezes | 19:42 |
| ShockDoc | it used to be so easy to get a verbose boot :/ | 19:42 |
| ShockDoc | well I'll have a reboot, see what happens | 19:42 |
| Dr_Willis | ShockDoc: so.. if you reboot and the grub menu does not show those changes.. well that would point to your grub some how using some other configs.. which would be weird. | 19:42 |
| Dr_Willis | ShockDoc: i just edit the grub menu on the fly and put in the 'text' option | 19:42 |
| ShockDoc | yeah I know, that works Dr_Willis , but that's not what I want, the text thing actually boots to a command line | 19:43 |
| ShockDoc | brb, gonna reboot | 19:43 |
| Halzen | myrmidette: Try installing Unetbootin and burning the USB with that. Make sure to format the USB with the tool before writing to it. | 19:43 |

| _jeff | whenever i turn on my system and type my username and before i enter a password, the login screen appears to quick drop down to a shell and asks me to enter my username again and this second time i can enter my password. is gdm crashing? | 19:45 |
| Halzen | myrmidette: Oh, my bad. Use Gparted to format the USB drive to ext4. Be VERY careful when selecting the device to format. If you're careless, you risk wiping one of your system partitions. | 19:45 |
| jensp | habriel: the redirection ">" happens with your normal right, not with "sudo" priviledges | 19:45 |
| jensp | habriel: sudo -i and run the command again | 19:45 |
| myrmidette | Halzen, will rm -rf /media/D286-1AD2/* work too? | 19:45 |
| habriel | ok i will try | 19:46 |
| habriel | thanks | 19:46 |

| myrmidette | Halzen, how do I delete all the hidden files? | 19:48 |
| patrunjel | guys, I have to mount some movies in .iso format, can someone please tell me what application should I use? :) (something equivalent to Daemon tools on windows) | 19:48 |
| _jeff | whenever i turn on my system and type my username and before i enter a password, the login screen appears to quick drop down to a shell and asks me to enter my username again and this second time i can enter my password. is gdm crashing? | 19:48 |
| Halzen | myrmidette: a format will delete all nonessential files. | 19:48 |
| ChessTeach | Does FakeRAID provide any preformance benefits? | 19:48 |
| spyhermit | patrunjel: mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk | 19:48 |
| xcyclist | okay, I just had a disaster installing 11.04. Please suggest what to do next. | 19:49 |
| nerdshell | myrmidette: rm ".*" | 19:49 |
| spyhermit | then you can access it like any other dvd | 19:49 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: its the same performance as software-raid | 19:49 |
| xcyclist | I should say, upgrading to 11.04 from 10.00 | 19:49 |
| antidolboslav | hi all | 19:49 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: which isn't much? | 19:49 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: if you dont want a dualboot with windows (and windows is also on raid) there is no single reason to use fakeraid | 19:49 |
| antidolboslav | i am trying to install ubuntu 11.04, but gparted doesn't see my partitions in hdd | 19:49 |
| xcyclist | It resized my window and gave me new menu settings I do not want. | 19:49 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: there are only contras with fakeraid | 19:49 |
| Halzen | ChessTeach: Software RAID of any kind is nowhere near as beneficial as a hard array controller. | 19:50 |
| W43372 | I just upgraded to Natty from Mav. I'm digging the new unity interface, but I'm wondering if I am still able to use panel applets on the top panel without switching back to the Gnome gui? | 19:50 |
| antidolboslav | what can fix it out? | 19:50 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: ok thanks | 19:50 |
| xcyclist | Don't Install 11.04!! It's a disaster!!! | 19:50 |
| ChessTeach | Halzen: my bios doesn't support the hard array | 19:50 |
| _jeff | whenever i turn on my system and type my username and before i enter a password, the login screen appears to quick drop down to a shell and asks me to enter my username again and this second time i can enter my password. is gdm crashing? | 19:50 |
| patrunjel | spyhermit, I mean, I don't just want to mount the .iso, because then I would have Audio_TS and Video_TS (or something similar), I would want to autoplay the image :) | 19:50 |
| Pici | xcyclist: Feel free to use Classic Ubuntu from the login menu if you don't care for Unity. | 19:50 |
| Dr_Willis | patrunjel: vlc can play iso files. | 19:50 |
| Halzen | ChessTeach: Well, that sucks. Raid is very hardware-dependent, so not everyone gets to enjoy it. | 19:50 |
| spyhermit | patrunjel: yep. vlc is your best bet. | 19:50 |
| ChessTeach | Halzen: it isn't possible to download a new bios that will support RAID, correct? | 19:51 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: there is no need to buy a hardware-raid-controller, just use softwareraid (not fakeraid) | 19:51 |
| patrunjel | Dr_Willis, spyhermit vlc is on linux too? wow :) Nice, thanks guys | 19:51 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: hardware-raid is only needed on servers | 19:51 |
| Dr_Willis | patrunjel: err.. of course. | 19:51 |
| xcyclist | Pici: So, I am default logging in. There is an item on the login menu that allows me to choose? | 19:51 |
| Pici | xcyclist: Yes. | 19:51 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: i thought you said there isn't any benefits to it | 19:51 |
| Dr_Willis | patrunjel: I think it may of been on linux befor i was on windows. | 19:51 |
| Halzen | ChessTeach: It's rare. Raid controllers are hardware, so a BIOS update would mean that it was ON your board, but disabled for some reason. | 19:51 |
| antidolboslav | heh | 19:51 |
| Dr_Willis | patrunjel: many many years ago | 19:51 |
| xcyclist | Pici: Thank you Pici. That is very helpful. | 19:51 |
| antidolboslav | ok | 19:51 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: i said there is no reason to use fakeraid | 19:51 |
| bsodmike | 'Try adding/removing udev as thats normally the prime culprit' | 19:52 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: but software raid is worth it? | 19:52 |
| RavenHursT | Anyone here get VBGuestAdditions to work w/ 11.04 yet? Curious how long it took for the main module to build.. mine seems to be hanging... but unfortunately there's no way for me to know... :-( | 19:52 |
| bsodmike | what does this mean? | 19:52 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: softwareraid is ok for desktop-machines, no need to buy a hardware-raid-controller (150€) | 19:52 |
| bsodmike | I'm getting 'No more PTYs' when doing screen | 19:52 |
| spyhermit | RavenHursT: installed, took about 5 minutes for the main module to build. | 19:52 |
| Halzen | ChessTeach: Honestly, I don't think Raid arrays are very useful for personal computers. Secure servers, yes, but not desktops. | 19:52 |
| elliot_ | My VBGuestadittions worked well on mi Ubuntu 11 | 19:52 |
| ShockDoc | still nothing :'( | 19:52 |
| darkfrog | Unity stole my window borders. :p | 19:52 |
| bsodmike | if I do tty when I ssh in, it says /dev/ttyp0 | 19:52 |
| Soothsayer | anyone on Ubuntu 11 with a dual monitor setup ? | 19:52 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: remeber one thing, raid is NOT a backup, so why you need a raid? | 19:53 |
| bsodmike | instead of /dev/pts/X where X is some number | 19:53 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: preformance | 19:53 |
| bsodmike | anyone? | 19:53 |
| darkfrog | I have no controls on any of my windows anymore for resize, close, move, minimize, etc. | 19:53 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: so you want raid0 (strip) | 19:53 |
| RavenHursT | spyhermit: you do it through the window GUI or throught he commandline? | 19:53 |
| elliot_ | Where I can find Administration Menu on Ubuntu 11? | 19:53 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: yes | 19:53 |
| spyhermit | 4 nines! | 19:53 |
| Pici | bsodmike: What release of Ubuntu? | 19:53 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: if one drives fails, everything fails | 19:53 |
| andeeeuk_ | I must say that I am so pleased with ubuntu 11.04 | 19:53 |
| bsodmike | 10.04.2 | 19:53 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: i know, i bought a backup external in case that happens | 19:53 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: what about an ssd instead of raid0? | 19:53 |
| spyhermit | RavenHursT: gui, but it's just running the command line anyway | 19:53 |
| elliot_ | 11.04 | 19:53 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: what is ssd? | 19:53 |
| cousin_mario | hello | 19:53 |
| Pici | bsodmike: Please prefix your responses with my nick so that I can see them easier. | 19:53 |
| andeeeuk_ | works soo well, initially I was having doubts about unity | 19:54 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: solid state disc (flash drive) | 19:54 |
| Pici | bsodmike: Let me take a look at something, one moment. | 19:54 |
| bsodmike | @Pici sure:) | 19:54 |
| cousin_mario | what is it doing unity-window-decorator running in my ubuntu-classic session? | 19:54 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: oh, yeah i guess that would of been better | 19:54 |
| Halzen | ChessTeach: Sounds like you want a solid-state drive, or SSD. It is full flash memory with no moving parts, and is exponentially faster and more stable than traditional hard drives. | 19:54 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: but i already have the two hard drives | 19:54 |
| W43372 | I just upgraded to Natty from Mav. I'm digging the new unity interface, but I'm wondering if I am still able to use panel applets on the top panel without switching back to the Gnome gui? | 19:54 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: then build a software raid 0 | 19:54 |
| RavenHursT | spyhermit: dangit.. mine says "The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following module compilation fails then this could be the reason. Building the main Gues Addistions module" and then it just sits there.. grrr.. | 19:54 |
| cousin_mario | W43372: you poor man | 19:55 |
| elliot_ | SDD are already very small :( | 19:55 |
| Halzen | ChessTeach: I'm buying an OCZ Vertex 2 50GB SSD very soon. It should be able to boot Fedora for me in under 12 seconds. | 19:55 |
| ChessTeach | Halzen: how much is that though? | 19:55 |
| zerwas | I wanted to create a backtrace for a crash of nautilus, but when i entered "run" in gdb, X crashed | 19:55 |
| spyhermit | ChessTeach: sadly, with standard pc hardware, no dedicated raid card, software raid, you're looking at maybe 10% speed boost. | 19:55 |
| W43372 | cousin_mario What? | 19:55 |
| Halzen | ChessTeach: I'll be spending about $100 USD on mine. The price goes up quite a bit by storage capacity. | 19:55 |
| ChessTeach | spyhermit: I guess I will take what I can get | 19:55 |
| zerwas | How can i debug this X crash now? | 19:56 |
| spyhermit | RavenHursT: well, it took 20 minutes on my spare machine | 19:56 |
| Halzen | ChessTeach: If you want to shop for an SSD, look not just at capacity and price, but also at read and write speeds. The Vertex 2 can read over 275MB/s. | 19:56 |
| elliot_ | Dear friends.. please.. any idea where I can find System Administration Menu on Ubuntu 11? | 19:56 |
| ChessTeach | Halzen: if I could return my drives, I think I would, but I do not have the recipts\ | 19:56 |
| Wipster | due to an unfortunate mistake I issued 'unity --replace' while in the classic desktop environment now I dont have a classic heh, how can I restore the defaults? | 19:56 |
| zerwas | elliot_> press the power button in the upper right corner, there you will find a menu item "settings" or so | 19:56 |
| darkfrog | elliot_: Windows Key then type what you want to do | 19:57 |
| W43372 | cousin_mario Do what? | 19:57 |
| Halzen | ChessTeach: Well, all upgrades cost money. For what it's worth, I think it's a very worthwhile upgrade. | 19:57 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: So I need to get the alternative Ubuntu CD to do the software raid right? | 19:57 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: no | 19:57 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: what do I need | 19:57 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: you can build a software raid everytime | 19:57 |
| === root is now known as Guest75483 | ||
| cousin_mario | W43372: because you upgraded to natty. I've been fighting the urge to toss my computer out of the window since I did that. | 19:57 |
| spyhermit | ChessTeach: yeah. A single SSD is going to blow away your array... if you don't need a ton of space, you can get a pretty fast ssd for 100$ or so | 19:57 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: you can build a software-raid in an already installed system | 19:58 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: how? | 19:58 |
| trailoryo | Have anyone experienced bugs or crashes with Transmission? | 19:58 |
| trailoryo | actually its making everything crash right now. wow. | 19:58 |
| ChessTeach | spyhermit: I am still considering that idea | 19:58 |

| ubottu | Halzen: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 19:58 |
| darkfrog | at least that it didn't auto-restart itself | 19:58 |
| Dr_Willis | trailoryo: used it for a few hrs over the last few days . no issus | 19:58 |
| W43372 | Cousin_Mario well I've only been using it for less than an hour so far. I'm liking it. I just need to know if i can use panel applets still. I'm on battery power and I can't find the applet to let me change my processor speed so my battery is draining faster. | 19:59 |
| xskydevilx | How do I restore GRUB2 using the live cd/usb? | 19:59 |
| Dr_Willis | W43372: thers alternative indicator-applets for a lot of the old applets. | 19:59 |

| spyhermit | so.... anyone have experience with graphical glitches in unity? still trying to sort out my absurd font issues | 19:59 |
| iceroot | ChessTeach: but remeber again, if one drive fails in raid0 your files are gone | 19:59 |
| spyhermit | iceroot: he's already said he has external backups, he knows the risks. | 20:00 |
| ChessTeach | Thanks again guys | 20:00 |
| W43372 | cousin_mario: Oh, and when I want to switch between windows I can't use Super + Tab to switch between them with the fancy animation that was in Mav. | 20:00 |
| Dr_Willis | W43372: thats a compiz setting/plugin thats proberly disabled by default | 20:01 |
| iceroot | spyhermit: losing all data is worth to mention again, dont you think? | 20:01 |
| Dr_Willis | super key is used for lots of other things these days :) | 20:01 |
| spyhermit | iceroot: 4th time might be the charm. ;) | 20:01 |
| W43372 | Dr_Willis properly disabled? | 20:01 |
| iceroot | spyhermit: it was the second time | 20:01 |
| Dr_Willis | W43372: many compiz plugins dont play well with Unity. | 20:01 |
| ultrax | hi im having issues with package apt-proxy in lucid _and_ natty. unfortunately there is no active apt-proxy irc channel.is somebody willing to help? | 20:02 |
| Dr_Willis | W43372: install ccsm and play with them if you want. | 20:02 |
| Dr_Willis | !ccsm | 20:02 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 20:02 |

| andeeeuk_ | whatever you do do not install gnome 3 over unity its skrews everything up!!! not worth it!! | 20:04 |
| spyhermit | Wipster: install compizconfig-settings-manager, run ccsm, and disable the unity plugin. :) | 20:04 |
| Soothsayer | Is it possible to have a Windows 7 like taskbar at the bottom (and preferably across dual monitors) with Unity in 11.04? | 20:04 |

| roasted | Customs, you don't create it. It's assigned to you by your ISP. | 20:21 |
| genii-around | roasted: Do you know the driver name the card uses? | 20:21 |
| roasted | Customs, if you go to "www.whatismyip.com" you'll be shown your external IP. | 20:21 |
| namzezam | BlouBlou: it this to me? | 20:21 |
| Customs | roasted: but thats only for my router isnt it?? | 20:22 |
| roasted | genii-around, oh man. I'm not sure. | 20:22 |

| roasted | Customs, what is your intention? to host something on the web and provide a link to others todownload it? | 20:22 |
| Customs | yeah :) | 20:22 |
| BlouBlou | namzezam: I have no idea what it mean | 20:22 |
| roasted | Customs, then you need to log in to your router, which is done through your gateway. most common is 192.168.1.1. Once in there, you'll need to forward port 80 to whatever IP your computer is using that you want to host the material. | 20:23 |
| Lcawte|SortingOS | So I'm using a 11.04 live CD to repair my broken upgrade, but I seem to be missing my boot loader partition, what should I do to install it (the upgrader keeps failing when it gets to it), I need to know flags, name and format of it... | 20:23 |
| Bookman | I have an ATI Xpress200 video card and 3D worked very well under 10.10. Now I've upgraded to 11.04 and I cannot get it to work at all. Any help? | 20:23 |
| roasted | Customs, then install apache2 (sudo apt-get install apache2). | 20:23 |
| Customs | roasted: what if my router doen't support port forwarding?? | 20:23 |
| roasted | Customs, then, using root nautilus (gksudo nautilus) I'd create a folder in /var/www that you have rights to. I created 3 or 4 in there, such as ghost, mist, skynet, etc. | 20:23 |
| Brutus | I have problem with sound, i was uninstall gnome(im using xfce) and after this sound is broken, in preferences dont see any device(i had my 2soundcards and usb camera in preferences), i try uninstall pulse audio,alsa, and then install oss or other, no change, pls help me! | 20:23 |
| roasted | Customs, I've never heard of a router that didn't support port forwarding. But if it does not support it, I have no idea how else to work around it. | 20:23 |
| BlouBlou | Customs: port forwarding = router firewall | 20:24 |
| Customs | ah okay :) | 20:24 |
| roasted | Customs, what you are doing is basically allowing one system on your network to have port 80 access. Port 80 is HTTP access, hence the http://your.external.ip.address and then being able to see what you have hosted. | 20:24 |
| roasted | Customs, so forward port 80 to your box with the IP your box is using, and then create a folder in /var/www, something like public or storage or whatever. | 20:24 |
| TheRedOctober | Greetings all. I am trying to ssh into a remote box that keeps giving me this error: "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host | 20:24 |
| roasted | Customs, then go to http://your.external.ip.address/storage (or public, or whatever you made it) | 20:25 |

| NeuralJack | is there a way to install Natty WITHOUT that cursed "Unity Desktop"? | 20:25 |
| BlouBlou | TheRedOctober: it means that the server (host) isn't allowing your connection | 20:25 |
| envygeeks | TheRedOctober: that can be caused by many problems, check out this page and see if it helps you http://edoceo.com/notabene/ssh-exchange-identification | 20:26 |
| Customs | roasted: ah thankyou :) would you know anything about the social engineering toolkit?? | 20:26 |
| TheRedOctober | NeuralJack: You can select "Classic Gnome" from the lower bar at the login screen | 20:26 |
| W43372 | i need to change my processor speed in Natty but I'm not sure how to do that without the panel applet | 20:26 |
| BlouBlou | TheRedOctober: Most probably due to bad indentification (as error says) | 20:26 |
| xangua | NeuralJack: or try kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu | 20:26 |
| roasted | NeuralJack, Unity is not cursed, and I advise you take an open minded standpoint on it and use it like I did. Likewise, there's Ubuntu Classic available at hte login screen which will allow you to use Gnome 2.X panels for that session. | 20:26 |
| TheRedOctober | Thanks envy and blou! | 20:26 |

| roasted | Customs, good luck. You might find interest in reading about port forwarding so you can understand how it works. IT's one thing for me to say, oh forward port 80 to your internal IP so you can access it externally, but understanding WHAT it's doing is far more valuable. ;) | 20:27 |

| roasted | genii-around, I'm not sure if it would be network-manager related. I was comparing two wireless cards, one atheros one intel, and the atheros one was SIGNIFICANTLY slower, but only with security. If I took security off, suddenly the atheros was on par with the intel card. | 20:28 |

| roasted | genii-around, in 10.10 this was not the case, as both cards were very fast. in 11.04, it was the atheros that suffered. Another user on the forums confirmed a different atheros card is doing the same thing for him. | 20:28 |

| * bubba is still making up his mind about unity. | 20:29 | |
| roasted | NeuralJack, I apologize this was not that easy of a transition for you. I'm just trying to make it aware that a lot of people devoted a LOT of time and energy into Unity, and it actually is a very very intuitive interface. Different? Oh yes. So different it may be frustrating. But once you get used to it, it's amazing how nice it is to use. | 20:29 |

| roasted | NeuralJack, I hated Unity for many weeks when I used it during the beta process. But it grew on me, and over time I began to see its benefits. I'm just suggesting that you try it for an extended period of time, and instead of trying to do things the old way, find a new way to do them. AFter all, that's the only way to learn in a new environment, in my opinion. | 20:30 |

| === roycerem1r is now known as royce | ||
| roasted | Customs, you wouldn't *need* to, but if you don't, you might have to log into your router pretty often to change the IP in the forwarded setting since port 80 would be bound to a specific IP. So if your boxs IP changes, your apache functionality is gone till you change it. | 20:40 |

| roasted | varunthacker, the GNome 3 PPA is currently a "one way upgrade." I do not know of a way to reverse it once it's installed, besides reinstalling. | 20:42 |

| chaospsychex | The GUI is 'garbled' . i didn't have this problem with 10.10 | 21:17 |
| jahrome_ | hi room | 21:17 |
| genewitch | GrimmVarg: what's your layout? norway? | 21:17 |
| jahrome_ | why is my ubuntu so slow after upgrading?!? | 21:17 |
| snikker | genewitch: nothing to do | 21:18 |
| chaospsychex | Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller is what i have | 21:18 |
| genewitch | snikker: i made a mistake you want to type dhclient eth0 | 21:19 |
| guntbert | jahrome_: how should we know? In what way is it slow? | 21:19 |
| lsolesen | chaospsychex: that is better than my completely blank login screen except the mouse cursor :) | 21:19 |
| chaospsychex | damn dude | 21:19 |
| chaospsychex | gotta figure this out | 21:20 |
| oldos2er | hello | 21:20 |
| jahrome_ | guntbert: after upgrading to 11.04 i have to unplug my USBmous after boot and plug it in again, so it works and my internet connection is very slow, file copy too | 21:20 |
| tgm4883 | How can you make Ubuntu not disable unofficial repositories during a distro upgrade? | 21:20 |
| GreeNtooTH | 11.04 is not stable and is still under development | 21:21 |
| snikker | genewitch: doesn't work | 21:21 |
| LjL | tgm4883: you are determined to break your upgrade? | 21:21 |
| jrib | GreeNtooTH: no, 11.04 has been released | 21:21 |
| ikonia | GreeNtooTH: please don't talk nonsense | 21:21 |
| tgm4883 | LjL, no, I am determined to upgrade to 11.04 from a local mirror :) | 21:21 |
| GreeNtooTH | oh sorry my mistake | 21:21 |
| guntbert | jahrome_: are you talking about slow network? what kind of network? wlan? | 21:21 |
| area51pilot | upgraded to 11.04 and there is no graphic desktop ... how do i start from term | 21:21 |
| jahrome_ | GreeNtooTH: will it ever be stable and will the errors ever be fixed? or is my whole installation broken now? | 21:21 |
| kinga | hey there, anyone have any experience with IFS on ext2 volumes ? on windows | 21:22 |
| jahrome_ | guntbert: yes, wlan atheros chipset (pci) | 21:22 |
| chaospsychex | can i 'downgrade' back to 10.10 without having to download 10.10 ? | 21:22 |
| blz | I'm trying to connect to a WPA/WPA2 network from the command line. I have wpa_supplicant installed. I can get wlan0 up and "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid myssid" succeeds silently. However, when I type "sudo iwconfig wlan0 key <HEXKEY>" I get the following error: "error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8ZB2A) : SET failed on device wlan0; Invalid argument. | 21:22 |
| ikonia | jahrome_: the release is a stable release | 21:22 |
| blz | any ideas ? | 21:22 |
| jibadeeha | GreeNtooTH, 11.04 is very stable on my netbook .. infact it is the first release that works without any tweaks | 21:22 |
| beta___ | hello, can someone help me? I'm having random 'freezes' with Ubuntu 11.04 | 21:22 |
| chaospsychex | iknoia: 11.04 is stable? | 21:22 |
| ikonia | chaospsychex: it is a stable release, yes | 21:22 |
| LjL | tgm4883: there's a hacked solution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-763925.html | 21:22 |
| guntbert | jahrome_: atheros? I haven't heard about any problems yet | 21:22 |
| genewitch | GrimmVarg: it's a bug in xkeyboard-config, there's no fix yet that i can see | 21:23 |
| celthunder | biz is key the right arguement for that? | 21:23 |
| chaospsychex | ikonia: can you help me? i am having an issue with my GUI being 'garbled' | 21:23 |
| jahrome_ | guntbert: i had no problems before upgrading to 11.04 | 21:23 |
| chaospsychex | ikonia: wasn't like this in 10.10 | 21:23 |
| celthunder | chaospsychex: what graphics drivers/gui are you using | 21:23 |
| ikonia | chaospsychex: no idea without investivation, | 21:23 |
| GreeNtooTH | your connecting to wpa/wpa2 doesnt use hex psk | 21:23 |
| chaospsychex | celthunder: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller | 21:23 |
| blz | celthunder: it's an "L" not an "i" =) Just so i see the red text pop up next time. Regarding your question, I'm not sure. It didn't work for a regular text key | 21:23 |
| tgm4883 | LjL, Thanks, I'll test it out | 21:24 |
| chaospsychex | celthunder: i guess the installation picked what driver to use? How can I view the installation log? | 21:24 |
| guntbert | jahrome_: please ask the channel again, my own experience with natty is rather limited, but mention wifi slowness and atheros from the beginning | 21:24 |
| jahrome_ | so question is now, whether i should wait for the fixes to appear or whether i should install my system again. | 21:24 |
| area51pilot | how do i start graphic desktop from term? | 21:24 |
| celthunder | chaospsychex: lsmod |grep i915 | 21:24 |
| celthunder | area51pilot: startx | 21:24 |
| GreeNtooTH | startx | 21:24 |
| LjL | area51pilot: sudo start gdm | 21:24 |
| celthunder | area51pilot: or telinit 5 | 21:24 |
| Bookman | I just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 and now my ATI Xpress200 video card is not working in 3D. The Additional Drivers does not show anything as being available. | 21:24 |
| area51pilot | celthunder: fails | 21:25 |
| chaospsychex | celthunder: what does that command do? | 21:25 |
| celthunder | area51pilot: do you have X insatlle? | 21:25 |
| blz | GreeNtooTH: I used the output of wpa_passphrase... the second psk line | 21:25 |
| area51pilot | celthunder: connection refused | 21:25 |
| ikonia | celthunder: init 5 is no longer needed, upstart changes the run levels | 21:25 |
| celthunder | chaospsychex: searches loaded module for i915 | 21:25 |
| blz | GreeNtooTH: was that not the right thing to use? | 21:25 |
| celthunder | ikonia: ok good to know | 21:25 |
| area51pilot | celthunder...upgraded 10 to 11.04 | 21:25 |
| chaospsychex | celthunder: so I need to load i915? | 21:26 |
| celthunder | area51pilot: what did it fail with? | 21:26 |
| celthunder | chaospsychex: that's the most common intel driver (including the one I use) | 21:26 |
| R3dy | does ubuntu use some special file other then /etc/profile | 21:26 |
| jahrome_ | when i'll have to reinstall because of "upgrade is not stable" i will not install ubuntu again | 21:26 |
| R3dy | I'm trying to add directory to the PATH and it's not working | 21:26 |

| nixot | Greetings, all. | 21:27 |
| nixot | I have run Ubuntu off a live USB stick on my tablet computer. However, the touch screen behaves erratically - in different ways for different versions, too. | 21:27 |
| nixot | In version 10.10, no presses are detected by the computer, unless I press with two fingers, at which point the cursor will jump to one of the fingers, but not click. | 21:27 |
| ikonia | R3dy: and what's failing | 21:27 |
| beta__ | pleased if someone could help me. I know how to work with kernel, ppa, etc. | 21:27 |
| nixot | In version 11.04, the pointer moves with one finger but still doesn't click. Sometimes it clicks but only on a few controls. | 21:27 |
| beta__ | Installed latest xorg, intel gpu | 21:27 |
| R3dy | I have executable scripts in that directory | 21:28 |
| beta__ | drivers | 21:28 |
| nixot | In both versions, plugging in a mouse didn't work - the mouse merely moves around, with clicks not at all being noticed. | 21:28 |
| R3dy | but Iam not able to run them | 21:28 |
| area51pilot | celthunder: unable to connect to xserver: connection refused | 21:28 |
| ikonia | beta__: if you know how to work with the kernel - take a stack dump from it | 21:28 |
| nixot | Is there any software or things available to rectify this situation? Thanks in advance for any answers. | 21:28 |
| guntbert | !enter | beta__ | 21:28 |

| GreeNtooTH | blz is it wpa | 21:28 |
| SoobNauce | The latest ubuntu update just bricked my laptop (I think it ate the filesystem) -- I left it running and when I was back the netbook was very hot and frozen. Had to manually power off. Can someone help me recover the filesystem? | 21:28 |
| area51pilot | celthunder: xinit: server error | 21:28 |
| ikonia | R3dy: what is the name of one of the scripts | 21:28 |
| R3dy | genii-around: thanks | 21:28 |
| R3dy | that helped | 21:28 |
| celthunder | area51pilot: ok | 21:28 |
| blz | GreeNtooTH, yes | 21:28 |
| chaospsychex | what's the command to show what video driver is currently loaded? | 21:28 |
| celthunder | chaospsychex: lsmod | 21:28 |
| R3dy | do I need to run that everry time I reboot | 21:28 |
| blz | GreeNtooTH: wpa_supplicant is installed as well | 21:28 |
| beta__ | sorry, will not do that again :P hmmm @ikonia, can you show me that? | 21:28 |
| kinga | hey there, anyone have any experience with IFS on ext2 volumes ? on windows | 21:28 |
| brontosaurusrex | ./.local/share/Trash was always at this path? | 21:28 |
| GreeNtooTH | you cant connect wpa from term use wicd or ndiswrapper | 21:28 |
| R3dy | cause I thought after I killed my terminal and started a new one it would autmatically re-read the profile | 21:29 |
| genii-around | R3dy: No, only when you add something to the /etc/profile or so on after being booted | 21:29 |
| R3dy | gotcah sweet | 21:29 |
| R3dy | thanks all! | 21:29 |
| chaospsychex | ok i915 is loaded for video and I am having issues with the GUI being garbled | 21:29 |
| blz | GreeNtooTH: ndiswrapper is for using windows drivers, isn't it? | 21:29 |
| lubuntu | GreeNtooTH, are you use wicd ? | 21:29 |
| SoobNauce | No one knows? | 21:29 |
| GreeNtooTH | go to wpa supplicant 1st 1 down then enter phrase | 21:29 |
| celthunder | area51pilot: what graphics card are you using that fglrx is fubared | 21:29 |
| Froq | so i install gnome-do, but it won't let me change the keyboard combo to bring up away from "space" | 21:29 |
| GreeNtooTH | wicd alot better | 21:29 |
| area51pilot | celthunder...any clue or clueless? :P | 21:29 |
| Froq | so now when I type anything, my space bar bring gnome-do up to the forground... crappy! | 21:30 |
| lubuntu | GreeNtooTH, then i use wicd its give error error filename | 21:30 |
| chaospsychex | how can I load another intel video driver? | 21:30 |
| blz | GreeNtooTH: i'm not sure what you mean by "go to wpa supplicant 1st 1 down then enter phrase" | 21:30 |
| SoobNauce | Disappointing. | 21:30 |
| area51pilot | celthunder: not sure | 21:30 |
| beta__ | I've now installed the package linux-crashdump.. Just wait till an other freeze comes? | 21:30 |
| celthunder | chaospsychex: rmmod <current driver>;modprobe <new one> | 21:30 |
| GreeNtooTH | instead of psk go to passphrase should work no problem | 21:30 |
| area51pilot | celthunder: can i list from term? | 21:30 |
| lubuntu | GreeNtooTH, its work on lxde but i wonna run on openbox without panel and give thos error | 21:31 |
| chaospsychex | celthunder: how do i list the available drivers that can be loaded? | 21:31 |
| celthunder | area51pilot: are you uing proprietary drivers for your card? | 21:31 |
| area51pilot | celthunder: I believe so | 21:31 |
| celthunder | area51pilot: switch to th open source ones then try | 21:31 |
| blz | GreeNtooTH: iwconfig: unkonwn command "passphrase" | 21:31 |
| nixot | My touch screen isn't working on my tablet computer (clicks aren't registered) and attaching a mouse I can't click either... any help please? | 21:32 |

| area51pilot | celthunder: ok ... im going into failesafe mode now | 21:32 |
| chaospsychex | celthunder: gnome, i915 is loaded | 21:32 |
| celthunder | chaospsychex: go into fallback mode does that work? | 21:32 |
| celthunder | chaospsychex: perhaps your card can't handle gnome 3 | 21:32 |
| beta__ | can nobody help me here? | 21:33 |
| GreeNtooTH | edit your "wpa_supplicant.conf" then retry | 21:33 |
| chaospsychex | celthunder: it can, didn't have this issue with 10.10 | 21:33 |

| vhozard | I just install Ubuntu 11.04 and have a question | 21:35 |
| guntbert | !classic | buck_work | 21:35 |
| ubottu | buck_work: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. | 21:35 |
| mnassif | Froq, it is realy freeze | 21:35 |
| vhozard | How can I make my 23"the default monitor ? | 21:36 |
| celthunder | chaospsychex: delete gnome-shell or if you can accss the menu's of the garbled ui go to gnome-control-center. Open System Info > Graphics. Change Forced Fallback Mode to ON. | 21:36 |
| === vhozard is now known as Vhozard | ||
| Froq | o wow... well do you have an internet connection on the machine? also, did you perform a CD check before coming on here (it is an option when you first laod up the CD) | 21:36 |
| celthunder | Vhozard: xrandr | 21:36 |
| blz | GreeNtooTH: this is my wpa_supplicant.conf: network={ ssid="loldongs" #psk="newfagscanttriforce" psk=c9359d509dd9f61e7bc3991ff258e1f89fba92723be387f613fd6f5d1756a166} what needs to be changed? | 21:36 |
| Vhozard | celthunder, I configured it via ATI catalyst suite | 21:36 |
| mnassif | yes, | 21:36 |
| beta__ | I've also checked that it actualy no freeze, I can still press CTRL+ALT+F1/F3 | 21:36 |
| celthunder | Vhozard: ouch? | 21:36 |
| ios32 | i have a script that i need to have run automatically each time a cd is inserted or ejected. is there a best practice way to do this? | 21:36 |
| Froq | mnassif, yes to both or one or the other? | 21:36 |
| mnassif | but i'm using a pendrive | 21:36 |
| Vhozard | on windows it could set the 23" screen the default (instead of the tiny 15" laptop screen) | 21:37 |
| celthunder | ios32: autofs i think has a way to do that | 21:37 |
| mnassif | can i check the pendrive? | 21:37 |
| Froq | mnassif, o that would make a difference, can you check the pendrive? I have no idea on that since I have never used one... sorry, well i gotta take off sir anyways. Peace | 21:37 |
| mnassif | i dont try it | 21:37 |
| Froq | mnassif, idk if you can or not... | 21:37 |
| beta__ | @mnassif: when you press the caps/num lock keys, do they go on? Also can you press CTRL+ALT+F2? | 21:37 |
| GreeNtooTH | blz thats all correct | 21:37 |
| jwtiyar | how to upgrade from .ISO file to 11.04 ? | 21:38 |
| mnassif | i verified the donwload with the md5sum | 21:38 |
| mnassif | and its ok | 21:38 |
| blz | GreeNtooTH: so these commands should all work, right: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up, sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <YOUR WIRELESS ROUTER's ESSID>, sudo iwconfig wlan0 key <YOUR KEY>, sudo dhclient wlan0 | 21:38 |
| Vhozard | I already tried going to Monitors and selecting the 23" as default | 21:38 |
| Vhozard | It asks me to log out, which I do | 21:38 |
| Vhozard | which has no effect | 21:38 |
| GreeNtooTH | correct blz | 21:38 |

| blz | GreeNtooTH: and just to make sure i'm not doing anything wrong, what exactly needs to go in the <YOUR KEY> section of "sudo iwconfig wlan0 key <YOUR KEY>" ? | 21:39 |
| blz | a hex key? passphrase? | 21:39 |
| blackbit | then it will ask you if you want to install or just upgrade | 21:40 |

| buck_work | Not sure if you guys got my question the first time, so I'll be bad and repost it: How do I disable Unity and go back to the traditional Gnome UI? | 21:43 |
| botcity | !classic | DrDuck, just select ubuntu instead of classic .. | 21:43 |
| ubottu | DrDuck, just select ubuntu instead of classic ..: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. | 21:43 |
| xangua | buck_work: select 'classic' desktop on login screen | 21:43 |
| DrDuck | lubuntu: I think my problem is that I installed gnome 3. I need to uninstall it so that I'll have the Unity option again. Unity is broken with gnome 3. | 21:43 |
| buck_work | Ahhh, got it. Thanks lubuntu, xangua | 21:43 |
| lubuntu | buck_work, you must logout from ubuntu and then change on classic desktop = gnome | 21:43 |
| lubuntu | DrDuck, maby sudo apt-get install unity ? | 21:44 |
| GreeNtooTH | iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPA2PSK | 21:44 |

| lucas | IsmAvatar: yes! I think everything is ok now | 22:36 |
| IsmAvatar | lucas: ok, thanks, brb | 22:37 |
| Atlantic777 | jMCg: it's called unity and you can still switch to the classic way of using it. Just choose it in login screen. ;) | 22:37 |

| Buddhacz | MustardCU: /sys cannot be moved or linked | 22:37 |
| MustardCU | buddhacz, not even a subdirectory of it? | 22:38 |
| jMCg | Atlantic777: the classic way of using it is what's screwed: I cannot *move* windows. I cannot switch between two Windows, which makes it pretty hard when I start a console and a firefox. I'd have to kill off one, to use the other. | 22:38 |
| Buddhacz | wolfreak_99: not exactly | 22:38 |
| Atlantic777 | jMCg: ok, do you see the title bar on windows? | 22:38 |
| jMCg | Atlantic777: what's screwed with Unity is that I don't know how to --- good point. | 22:38 |

| jMCg | So what's a good reason for Windows to not be movable? | 22:41 |
| IsmAvatar | I'm back. Which is good news and bad news. Who was helping me? | 22:41 |
| wolfreak_99 | Buddhacz: I mean, look.. I download a bunch of documents (songs, porn, movies, etc), but I also download a bunch of programs (linux multimedia studio, jackd, etc) and even some that aren't in the synaptic. Everytime I do a fresh install I keep my songs porn and movies but I have to reinstall my other programs every time and it gets tedious. I have 250GB, and 60gb is for my windows (FL Studio), I have 120gb for my home, but with ha | 22:41 |
| IsmAvatar | lucas, that's right | 22:41 |
| lucas | could someone tell me what sound settings I can use for wine? It loses sound constantly | 22:41 |
| psalden | jMCg: I think a problem with the window-manager can cause that | 22:41 |
| lucas | IsmAvatar: Is everything ok? | 22:41 |
| Buddhacz | wolfreak_99: MintBackup | 22:42 |
| genewitch | busybox/boot errors say ata5:link is too slow to respond, please be patient... ubuntu itself never loads... what can i do? | 22:42 |
| IsmAvatar | lucas: good news is I'm back, and I can see the screen. Bad news is the Additional Drivers says that it's still "activated but not in use" | 22:42 |
| Atlantic777 | jMCg: maybe window manager/decorator screwed something up. Try compiz --replace or metacity --replace. | 22:42 |
| Buddhacz | wolfreak_99: and you have to backup you source list (or maybe you can use ubuntu-tweak) | 22:42 |
| psalden | wasn't he using unity? would be unity --replace then I think | 22:42 |

| wolfreak_99 | Buddhacz: Will that transfer my install folder to the home though? I'm not wanting to backup. I fuck up my computer too much to restore every time. | 22:43 |
| Buddhacz | wolfreak_99: for backing up, I have some scripts on my git: mxd.cz/git | 22:43 |

| lucas | IsmAvatar: it is on a package called mesa-utils | 22:44 |
| Buddhacz | sure you have symlink some Apps folders and move it to your /home | 22:44 |
| IsmAvatar | lucas: aware | 22:44 |
| IsmAvatar | lucas: It's running in at about 1900 FPS, and seems to have a bit of lag | 22:44 |
| wolfreak_99 | Buddhacz: I'll just keep looking through the interwebz for ways, and if it comes down to it, I'll use that script you gave me and back it up. Thanks for trying to help me however. | 22:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | wolfreak_99, it's very unlikely that you find a method to install to non-standard location I'm afraid. Best of luck. | 22:45 |
| Buddhacz | wolfreak_99: the best backup solution is dd :) but takes time to create and to restore | 22:45 |
| IsmAvatar | lucas: it's certainly not the fluid animation I'm used to when I see glxgears on a good graphics card+driver | 22:45 |
| saurabh | how to use how gcc graphics | 22:45 |
| saurabh | plwase | 22:45 |
| wolfreak_99 | Buddhacz: It's just that my compiz fucked up and I can't figure out how to fix my xorg file so I'm wanting to do a reinstall and I just reinstalled it 3 days ago and I don't want to take even more backing up and restoring. | 22:45 |
| Buddhacz | ZykoticK9: symlinked folder could work - as root of course | 22:45 |
| saurabh | hey | 22:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | Buddhacz, unlikely, you'd need to symlink a lot of different folders (libs, bin, etc) | 22:46 |
| lucas | IsmAvatar: hmm... Maybe you have the nouveau driver in use. Tell me, did you see the Nvidia-logo upon booting> | 22:46 |
| Buddhacz | wolfreak_99: I setup /media/BACKUP symlink to an external drive and then use my scripts - works great | 22:46 |
| Buddhacz | wolfreak_99: https://github.com/fifunja/Linux-shell-scripts | 22:47 |
| IsmAvatar | lucas: Depends, when would I see it? Because I think my card displays itself at about the same time as my bios. Then I get Grub, and then the purple screen for several seconds, and then the login screen. | 22:47 |
| wolfreak_99 | Buddhacz: Thank you but, again, I'm not looking to back up my programs. I'm just wanting to fix this problem without having to reinstall all my shit yet again. | 22:47 |
| jwtiyar | the upgrade its not exist while booting to upgrade frrom 10.10 to 11.04?? | 22:47 |
| Buddhacz | wolfreak_99: when something happens, just boot Live flash, restore to / and reboot | 22:48 |
| lucas | IsmAvatar: That's the nouveau driver already. Could you run glxinfo | grep vendor ? | 22:48 |
| wolfreak_99 | Better yet, would anyone possibly know of a way to fix an xorg.conf without needing to reinstall linux? I've tried the dpkg configure thing but it didn't work. | 22:48 |

| Buddhacz | wolfreak_99: you can google for some xorg.conf files for your card | 22:49 |
| robrrt | play* | 22:49 |
| wolfreak_99 | Buddhacz: wait, restore, will that erase the system, or will it just overwrite any existing files? | 22:49 |
| IsmAvatar | lucas: http://pastebin.com/Hk2aV3ut | 22:49 |
| Buddhacz | wolfreak_99: restore - erase / and restore back from the backup | 22:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | wolfreak_99, dd will replace EVERYTHING at a low level (proceed with caution), rsync is at least at a file system level, and more common for backups | 22:50 |
| zetsuboudev | Any idea if there is any plan to change the appearance of the corner grab for window resizing in Natty? It overlaps buttons and text buttons, even in the default programs, looking very inconsistent with the rest of the OS. Even in the appearance window, there is distortion where the button is in the theme previews. | 22:50 |
| lucas | IsmAvatar: well as it seems you are using glx from Nvidia. Which card do you have? | 22:51 |
| wolfreak_99 | Okay, drop the whole backup thing, I have another idea.. If I was to stick my live cd in and install it onto the / partition, will it erase any files or directories, or will it just replace the existing files? | 22:51 |
| Buddhacz | wolfreak_99: my friend had a problem with a new monitor so I have written the xorg.conf from scratch, fixed something and it works | 22:51 |
| arand | zetsuboudev: I would guess so. Inly way to make sure if to report a bug, after looking to see if it already exists. | 22:52 |
| jwtiyar | the upgrade its not exist while booting to upgrade frrom 10.10 to 11.04?? | 22:52 |
| sburwood1 | I'm quite happy with natty | 22:52 |
| wolfreak_99 | I don't want it to replace /usr/bin/(anything in here) to be replaced with /usr/bin when it's blank. | 22:52 |
| IsmAvatar | lucas: it's on-board, and I believe it's the GeForce 9200. | 22:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | IsmAvatar, to find your gfx card "lspci | grep -i vga" | 22:53 |
| Buddhacz | wolfreak_99: well - the best is to create a backup first | 22:53 |
| IsmAvatar | ZykoticK9: aware, thanks | 22:53 |
| Buddhacz | wolfreak_99: I think that Live CD install erases the / | 22:53 |
| IsmAvatar | lucas: 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9200] (rev b1) | 22:53 |
| wolfreak_99 | Buddhacz: yeah that's true, just for safety reasons, I might do it then test to see it. But about the Xorg, what was happening was just one day my compiz randomly took a shit. When I hover over the notifications to the right (11.04 with "ubuntu classic" so it's gnome 2), they vanish rather than becoming transparent., and my windows don't wobble. | 22:54 |

| SirScott | My bluetooth device was recognized in with the 10.10 live CD, yet after installing, it's not recognized. Not even sure what it is in the lspci output.. | 23:11 |
| nabi | Omega: Thanks a lot, I try gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 and then restart system and resolve the problem, :X | 23:11 |
| Shwaiil | shcherbak, tks for looking. The program is called Umbrello (UML modeler ) | 23:11 |

| ubottu | Package Umbrello does not exist in natty | 23:13 |
| ubottu | umbrello (source: kdesdk): UML modelling tool and code generator. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.6.2-0ubuntu1 (natty), package size 2106 kB, installed size 6628 kB | 23:13 |
| Buddhacz | SirScott: pastebin lspci here | 23:13 |
| Shwaiil | so, how can I access umbrello then ? restart the system maybe ? | 23:14 |
| IsmAvatar | lucas: I'm familiar with the speeds glxgears usually runs at for decent graphics cards. Obviously 1900 fps is slower than would be expected, especially of a geforce 9200. | 23:14 |
| shcherbak | Shwaiil: try: which umbrello, and use alacarte to hook it up to menu | 23:14 |
| shcherbak | Shwaiil: Or: locate umbrello to get path to binary | 23:15 |
| IsmAvatar | lucas: I've subscribed to the bug, so maybe a fix will come around some time in the near future. Like after they get done making unity not suck >_< | 23:15 |
| Shwaiil | shcherbak, I came to unbuntu from windows 6 months ago. I do that on terminal ? | 23:15 |
| shcherbak | Shwaiil: which umbrello | 23:15 |
| Shwaiil | yah | 23:15 |
| Shwaiil | found in usr/bin/umbrello | 23:16 |

| lucas | IsmAvatar: You are right... Who knows? the current nvidia driver has been made in a hurry as I can imagine, since some distros switched to xorg 1.10. My card seems to cope with it. Maybe there will be a new driver soon. Why don't you check on the nvidia site directly? | 23:16 |
| shcherbak | Shwaiil: Alt-F2 and umbrello , should start program too. | 23:17 |

| Shwaiil | shcherbak, tks | 23:20 |
| IsmAvatar | lucas: read shuttleworth's blog and I think you'll have a bit more sympathy for unity. The bad idea wasn't so much unity, it was deciding to ship despite dropping gnome support. | 23:20 |
| lucas | IsmAvatar: One of the reasons I never could get well with KDE. I like classic desktops... And on top of all, I like the command-line ;) | 23:20 |

| Buddhacz | envygeeks: I am behind 5 routers and teamviewer works | 23:32 |
| KM0201 | Buddhacz: 5 routers? | 23:32 |
| Omega | Why mention teamviewer when we have plenty of great open source alternatives? | 23:32 |
| KM0201 | lol | 23:32 |
| envygeeks | Buddhacz: Oh I got teamviewer to work, I was just saying how I have to manually open up the ports on my network, just adding that some people might need to (mostly people with locked down networks like mine) | 23:32 |
| KNUBBIG | Because teamviewer is just very simple and userfriendly | 23:32 |
| Omega | And VNC isn't? | 23:33 |
| KM0201 | Omega: did you not follow the discussin? because it doesn't require opening router ports (which is something some people dn't know how to do, or can't do due to not being able to log in to a router) | 23:33 |
| invisiblek | teamviewer also requires you to be able to see the display you plan to connect to | 23:33 |
| KNUBBIG | Not that easy | 23:33 |
| envygeeks | VNC isn't as easy as teamviewer, with teamviewer it's nothing more than login and press a button (almost literally) | 23:33 |
| Omega | KM0201: Did you not follow? envygeeks said himself that he needed to open ports. | 23:33 |
| KM0201 | invisiblek: no it doesn't, you can set it to "auto log in" | 23:33 |
| Buddhacz | KM0201: exactly - not very nice to portforward tons of ports on any router/AP in the network | 23:33 |
| invisiblek | was not aware of that, or i guess i was under the impression that was a "premium" service | 23:33 |
| KM0201 | Omega: not for teamviewer.. if he has to open ports for teamviewer, he doesn't know what he's doing | 23:33 |
| Omega | KM0201: Yes for teamviewer | 23:34 |
| KM0201 | Omega: i'm not gonna argue with you, i know better. | 23:34 |
| LAcan | ok so VNC it is | 23:34 |
| Omega | ok, ignore the anecdotes, you know better! | 23:34 |
| vanguard | I just did a suspend to RAM and now my USB speakers do not play any sound any more. How can I fix/diagnose this? | 23:34 |
| envygeeks | KM0201: I have to open up router ports because that is how I designed my network. Not because I don't know what I'm doing... | 23:34 |
| Omega | envygeeks: Ignore him, he knows better! | 23:34 |
| LAcan | vanguard, reboot | 23:35 |
| vanguard | LAcan: already did twice | 23:35 |
| KNUBBIG | Ok guys maybe we're done now? | 23:35 |
| KM0201 | envygeeks: then you did that intentionally, the average person, you download teamviewer, install, and it works,. | 23:35 |
| Buddhacz | vanguard: killall pulseaudio ? | 23:35 |
| KM0201 | envygeeks: obvioiusly if you did that intentionally, then why are you even using teamviewer?.. | 23:35 |

| Ubuntuuser2011 | I have a strange problem with sleep. When my laptop wakes up from sleep some gtk apps do not work correctly. e..g parts of an app does not respond to mouse clicks. If I log out and log in back everything works fine again. Is this an known issue? | 23:57 |
| cache_surplus | RavenHursT: i dont know if you know, but you need to create the Directory first, then mount to it :) | 23:57 |
| jep | hey guys, my ubuntu boot isn't detecting my pcix ethernet card. when i do 'lshw -C network', it as well as the board's nic show up as 'DISABLED'. I do a 'sudo ifconfig eth1 up' (eth1 is the pcix nic), but still nothing and rebooting makes it disabled again. /etc/network/interfaces only contained the two 'lo' entries so i added ones for eth0 and eth1 (before reboot). Any ideas? I've been out | 23:57 |
| jep | for like a week now. | 23:57 |
| soobNauce | Can someone please send me a PM? I need help decrypting and recovering data from my /home folder because the ubuntu 11 update bricked my netbook. | 23:58 |

| cache_surplus | RavenHursT: are you working with VirtualBox? | 23:58 |
| FHtrain | bear_, i just updated and restarted | 23:58 |
| Ubuntuuser2011 | no one can help me? | 23:58 |
| html_inprogress | i said yes | 23:58 |
| html_inprogress | Ubuntuuser2011, how long have you but using linux?, ar you new ? | 23:59 |
| RavenHursT | cache_surplus: yeah.. | 23:59 |
| cache_surplus | RavenHursT: in cmdline only? i know its a pain sometimes, however, it works well if you get the syntax working right. what are you trying to do? explain? we know your mounting, but Vbox should already see those mounts once fired up. are you doing Headless ? | 23:59 |
