[00:00] 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] Aight uh... is it possible to change the colors around? [00:00] Or does it rely on the colors I choose for the terminal? [00:00] 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] acicula: oh, and that link says it's loadable, yes! [00:00] Jackslaps: Sure, try: /j #irssi [00:00] 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] FanControl, did you custom build the kernel module or? [00:00] Alright, thanks [00:00] crus, there is a script that generates it [00:01] crus, lets see if i can find it [00:01] acicula: excellent! which script would that be? [00:01] dios_mio: What is the problem exactly? [00:01] you don't want new windows to start with a different layout? [00:02] crus, good question! [00:02] crus, still looking, heh [00:02] acicula: thanks, me too! :D [00:02] 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] Anybody around to help troubleshoot nouveau and graphics issues with 11.04? [00:02] Question. I always get confused on permissions to use. I want to create a APache accessible folder in /var/www but I always have to sudo which makes the user/group root. What is the appropriate method or configuration to do this?

[00:04] FanControl, it seems that is the cause for your error [00:04] PaidSupport: okay, then I would most certainly NOT recommend that you attempt to pay for support, but rather to take the time to listen to the help that people have to give, and hopefully take your own turn to try things out. If they break, they break, that's all part of the learning process.... and so is fixing those problems. :) [00:04] !info sqlite [00:04] sqlite (source: sqlite): command line interface for SQLite.

I'll type anything, and break anything, if the end result is a working linux laptop [00:05] guys i need some networking help [00:05] PaidSupport: of course, it's extremely beneficial to explain your situation clearly so that people have a better idea of how to help. [00:05] how can i get a map of a network [00:05] on linux [00:05] p896gbm, I find that it works nicely to run ubuntu in virtualbox [00:05] acicula: and have a nice evening or day! bye! [00:05] p896gbm, i like vmware myself [00:05] Gnea: It's an acpi backlight issue. I've brought it up here a few times, but no one has any ideas === daystrom is now known as derp [00:06] !VirtualBox | p896gbm [00:06] p896gbm: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

What kind of laptop is it and what version of Ubuntuare you on? [00:06] 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] ocx: try "apt-cache search sqlite3"... maybe you don't have the repo available [00:06] Gnea: Did a reformat and reinstall from the iso (on CD). Same problems === djfksld is now known as Captainkrtek [00:07] Has anyone noticed how mouse clicks sometimes don't register in 11.04? [00:08] PaidSupport, can you adjust the backlight at all using the function keys? [00:08] Lesterwood: try lanmap - http://www.parseerror.com/lanmap/ [00:08] Gnea: Nope. Only way I can see the screen at all is with a flashlight pointed at it === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [00:09] !ot [00:09] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[00:09] hehe did ya get some more batteries ? :) [00:09] ok === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [00:09] 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] just checking to see what the ubuntu ot channel was [00:09] has anyone installed ubuntu with an ASUS G53J gaming laptop [00:09] PaidSupport: Can you see hte backlight while booted from the LiveCD? [00:09] 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? [00:10] PaidSupport: did you install the package for FN key support [00:10] PaidSupport, are you saying the backlight is completely off, or just set really low [00:10] rcmaehl, #ubuntu-ot [00:10] PaidSupport, ie if its off you have to shine a light at your screen to make out anything at all [00:10] 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 [00:11] maybe in power management [00:11] rcmaehl: I did not. [00:11] ok...so, slowly getting the of unity... [00:12] PaidSupport, also check /sys/class/backlight to see if it is recognized at kernel level [00:12] not as bad a i thought [00:12] escott: after upgrading to 11.04 I lose /sys/class/backlight It isn't there [00:12] PaidSupport: On nvidia hardware the nomodeset option should not change whether you can use Unity or not. [00:12] rcmaehl: do you mean fnfxd? [00:12] PaidSupport, well thats the real source of the trouble, can you boot the old kernel === JoshDreamland is now known as NarkPvermars [00:12] Jordan_U: Intel Mobile Express 4, not nvidia [00:13] PaidSupport: Sorry, had you confused with someone else. [00:13] hola Jordan_U [00:13] hiexpo: Hi. [00:13] escott: after fresh installing I lost the old kernel. Only have 2.6.38 installed [00:13] i have put a process in sleep mode over ssh session1 , how can i take over the process over ssh session 2? [00:13] PaidSupport: Can you see hte backlight while booted from the LiveCD? [00:13] i cant see the job in session2 === NarkPvermars is now known as NbskPvfsmbsr [00:14] 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] 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] PaidSupport: out of curiosity, is your name David? [00:14] Gnea: Correct [00:14] 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] !screen | ocx [00:14] ocx: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [00:14] hmmmm [00:14] ok [00:14] PaidSupport: then this must be you: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+question/154675 [00:14] Gnea: Also correct. [00:15] ocx: I think "bg" should work [00:15] Gnea: I know of two other NV78 laptop users with the same issue. [00:16] PaidSupport: yeah, I'm seeing that...hrm... === NbskPvfsmbsr is now known as TheFckingPope [00:16] Is there a way to test unity from ubuntu iso disc? === mjn is now known as arjuan [00:16] Gnea: I was really looking forward to migrating my network away from windows =\ [00:16] * Gnea notes that actionparsnip tends to frequent this channel quite a bit [00:17] 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] 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 === TheFckingPope is now known as LudwigVanFknBeth [00:17] escott: sadly, as a very new user, I would have no idea where to begin === LudwigVanFknBeth is now known as Alaska [00:17] PaidSupport: I think escott maybe onto something there... do you still have the old kernels from the 10.10 install laying around? [00:17] 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] i need a good pop connector for ubuntu any good ones? === Alaska is now known as Hawaii === Hawaii is now known as Arkansas [00:18] Gnea: I figured if I was going to learn it from scratch, I may as well do it with the newest version, as Unity looks awesome (from what I can see by flashlight) [00:18] ocx: what's a 'pop connector'? please be specific. [00:18] has anyone ever seen anything like this? It's kinda annoying... === Arkansas is now known as NewYork [00:18] http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8213/img3503a.jpg [00:18] PaidSupport, i would download the .deb of the kernel from 10.10 and installing it directly === NewYork is now known as NewYorkSucks === brianl is now known as brianl|a [00:18] want to trigger my email server to download msg from google [00:18] Why is the iso only in gnome is there a way to change to unity [00:18] escott: would installing the 10.10 iso be the easiest way to do that? [00:19] 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] PaidSupport, if you wanted to drop down to 10.10 [00:19] but it may be easier to just install the kernel [00:19] PaidSupport, you had intel graphics? [00:19] ocx: check out fetchmail [00:19] it does conflict with zimbra i think [00:19] escott: intel graphics, yes. And sorry to be such a noob, but can unity run on the older kernel? [00:19] currently running zimbra [00:20] PaidSupport, having intel graphics makes things easier [00:20] 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 === NewYorkSucks is now known as JoshDreamland [00:20] Gnea, he did a fresh install so he doesn't have those anymore [00:20] Exactly. Just 2.6.38 right now [00:20] PaidSupport, 32bit or 64bit [00:20] 64 [00:20] escott: ah okay, thought maybe he migrated.... it's about dinnertime :) [00:20] is ubuntu 1 cd distro or 1 dvd distro? [00:21] So unity is a shell for gnome, so what is the underlying/default WM in 11.04? [00:21] nukem: yes [00:21] gnea it wasn't yes or no question [00:21] Nawk: compiz [00:21] nukem: sure it was, yes to both [00:21] escott: I have not tried installing from the 32 bit, though I have the CD. Would that change anything? [00:21] There's a 'unity plugin' for compiz installed. [00:21] gnea it can be only one or the other [00:21] what are the hardware requirements for the unity? [00:21] nukem: you can install ubuntu from a cd or a dvd, therefore it's both. [00:21] nukem: not really. a CD is offered, and a DVD is also offered. [00:21] PaidSupport, no but you have to get the right kernel im trying to find a package for you [00:22] escott: appreciate all the help [00:22] nawk: Compiz. === arand_ is now known as arand [00:22] newbie question: how do i disable compiz?

[00:25] escott:http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [00:25] nukem: the difference is, of course, that there are less programs on 1 cd than there are on 1 dvd [00:25] Hello, I've been searching for a while on how to install Server 11.04 over the network and have turned up nothing.

[00:26] 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] it works with Cheese [00:27] b b [00:27] i have an old lap top sony ram 256, 1800 amd cpu .... wich ubuntu version good for that ? [00:27] nawk, what nvidia card you have? [00:27] I close cheese and try the skype test [00:27] nawk: If you can get used to that (connected cubes) its still useful, imho [00:27] WhitePelican: okay, but have you verified that cheese it NOT running when you try to launch skype? [00:27] erm just disabled compiz now i have big black bar across bottom of screen [00:27] will it go when i re-enable it? [00:27] kingofswords: then logout/login [00:27] yes gnea [00:28] Gnea, you mean reboot? [00:28] 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] WhitePelican: what error do you get from skype, exactly? are you expecting it to auto-detect the camera? [00:28] sweb, xubuntu 10.04 perhaps, or something specially trimmed like lubuntu [00:28] kingofswords: no, logout, then login again [00:28] I went into ccsm and screwed with compiz's settings. How do I get it so that Unity isnt crazy? [00:28] i get no error, I just don't see anyhing on the test [00:29] acicula, ubuntu netbook / [00:29] PaidSupport, try downloading this: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-rc8-maverick/linux-image-2.6.36-020636rc8-generic_2.6.36-020636rc8.201010150908_amd64.deb [00:29] ? [00:29] WhitePelican: then check skype settings. where did you install skype from? [00:29] yes I expect it to auto-detect the camera [00:29] escott: sorry, not sure- but I'd expect that dpkg will trip up any dependencies [00:29] medibuntu [00:29] actually, check that [00:29] WhitePelican: good answer (about medibuntu) [00:29] jenkinSear, except we are planning to force install it... [00:29] it was in the repoitory [00:29] escott: ok, got that downloaded and copied to my linux partition. Is there a command to install it? [00:29] escott: They'll need three packages rom mainline in total... right? [00:29] so I guess it was from medibuntu [00:29] WhitePelican: right, medibuntu becomes part of the repo [00:29] sweb, nah, ubuntu netbook is just normal ubuntu with a different gui, same minimum hardware reqs too [00:30] well if you just apt-get install linux-image.*.deb that will install it [00:30] hopefully [00:30] :) [00:30] WhitePelican, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure skype_or_the_name_of_package [00:30] escott: alrighty. Taking off to give this a shot. [00:30] arand, im not sure, ive not actually forced down a kernel before [00:30] he has intel graphics so that takes care of one potential problem [00:30] 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 [00:31] Why can't Ubuntu keep Broadcom B43 support stable? [00:31] STA doesn't work in 11.04 [00:31] Gnea, yes but thats not really relevant here, hes just wondering if it will use less ram, which it wont [00:31] escott: Read the mainline kernel wiki, it is all described there, three packages are needed in total to install a new kernel.. [00:31] WhitePelican, see first on System Monitor if chesse or butter or whatever uses cam is working... because if cheese detects skype should [00:31] escott, PaidSupport: don't you mean dpkg -i? [00:31] It worked fine me both 10.x versions [00:31] ? [00:31] lcb, it works fine in cheese [00:31] escott: Unless you are doing something out of the ordinary, of course. [00:31] no issues [00:31] arand, is kernel-ppa a different kernel than what is shipped? [00:31] just fresh-installed 11.04: nouveau are useful for me and I need proprietary drivers from nvidia; blacklisted nouveau module, installed nvidia-current, There is no more "nvidia-xconfig"... Help please [00:32] WhitePelican, ok, but goto system monitor and see... or logout and login [00:32] just want to try forcing his natty kernel back to maverick to see if his backlight comes back [00:32] 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] escott: Yes. The mainline kernel ppa contains no Ubuntu specific patches. [00:32] escott: Well, I assume so, since that would be the whole point.. [00:32] PaidSupport, if you are still there then lets download something different :) [00:32] I ran reconfigure as suggested and nothing happened. what next? [00:32] arand: See my answer to escott above. [00:32] escott: I'm still here [00:33] Gnea, didnt work but i was only installing wine so enabled it and everythings ok [00:33] WhitePelican, read above the suggestions :p [00:33] kingofswords: okay [00:33] Gnea, didnt they drop the netbook edition altogheter as of 11.04? [00:33] Jordan_U: Right, I wasn't sure if that was the case for all versions there. [00:33] acicula: no idea, it'd be a silly move if they did [00:34] 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] acicula: which wouldn't be surprising, they did go all-in with unity [00:34] NVIDIA-XCONFIG help---> just fresh-installed 11.04: nouveau are useful for me and I need proprietary drivers from nvidia; blacklisted nouveau module, installed nvidia-current, There is no more "nvidia-xconfig"...

[00:35] acicula, Jordan_U: on the download page, I'm seeing ubuntu-11.04-netbook-i386.iso.torrent [00:35] david8732, so, is there a way for me to (a) disable unity (b) choose a different WM for unity (i.e. will unity work if compiz is not the chosen wm) [00:35] hiexpo, gtx295, but I don't think it makes a difference [00:35] Ziber: are you saying Unity will work with compiz disabled? [00:35] acicula, Jordan_U: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download [00:35] Ziber, I am downloading natty narwhal now, and if it's going to be a pain in the *, then I guess I'll go with status quo [00:35] w/with/& the/ [00:35] nawk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:39] PaidSupport, yes (but with sudo) [00:39] can do [00:39] 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] nawk, check and see if your card is supported https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [00:39] ubuntu 11.04 [00:40] 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] but no change in boot symptoms [00:40] nawk, or use Classic Desktop [00:40] nawk, i think it is [00:41] 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] Does anyone know of a linux distro that has a better caps lock reaction time?? [00:41] 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] when i minimize geany *python IDE* it disapears somwhere and i can't get my project back, when i click on louncher in unity=s toolbar it just starts me new geany/ How to bring back geany that disapeared from backgraund ? [00:41] is it possible to enable/disable identd on user base meaning user1 = disable identd user2 = enable identd on same box [00:41] please, i need to save my work [00:41] ok - oops, I guess. I don't think anything important was on there, AFAIK it is just for EFI firmware updates [00:42] I just want to say thanks for a great distro 11.04 is awesome [00:42] should I have used a different grub-install command? [00:42] 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. [00:43] AMAG, see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [00:43] hiexpo:I just read that, but I don't see an 11.04 section [00:43] 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] AMAG, it does not matter click to see if your cardis in there [00:44] pericynthion: You probably want to create a separate small partition for the BIOS boot partition though so that firmware upgrades still work. [00:44] 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] AMAG, it takes you to nvidia site [00:45] Does someone knows in what directory are the iso images mounted in ubuntu? [00:45] wtf [00:46] why does ubuntu 10.04 always log out? [00:46] Chilaquiles: there's no concrete answer to that [00:46] after like 30min? [00:46] itboots me to the login screen [00:46] closing all apps [00:46] etc... [00:46] :( [00:46] toad__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:46] toad__: never had that happen... [00:46] I cant find anything anywhere in the control panals [00:46] Gnea: what? [00:46] Jordan_U: ok, if I create such a small partitition should I mount that into /mnt/boot before issuing that grub-install command? [00:46] or settings [00:46] when i minimize geany *python IDE* it disapears somwhere and i can't get my project back, when i click on louncher in unity=s toolbar it just starts me new geany/ How to bring back geany that disapeared from backgraund ? [00:46] toad__: I'm using 10.04, never had that problem. :( [00:46] pericynthion: No. [00:46] i can see it in system monitor, hot to bring it back on desktop ? [00:47] pericynthion: The BIOS boot partition does not contain a filesystem, it cannot be mounted. [00:47] ok [00:47] 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] well [00:47] what the shit [00:47] its so annoying [00:47] toad__: check your screensavers setting, make sure "lock screen when screensaver is active" isn't checked [00:47] toad__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:47] so /mnt/boot will exist as a part of my main root partition? [00:47] cause it closes everything === lommi is now known as Ubel [00:47] pericynthion: Yes. [00:47] :( [00:47] ok, thanks. I'll try that. === Ubel is now known as Lommi [00:48] Does someone knows in what directory are the iso images mounted in ubuntu? === ola is now known as Guest35493 [00:48] I have installed 11.04 on my desktop along side windows 7 and when i try to boot up ubuntu it just sits on a blank screen and does nothing. Can anyone tell me my problem [00:48] back in 15 mins or so (no wifi support on the livecd) [00:49] Hi all, I have a quick network question, I've got a wireless connection that I use for internet and an ethernet connection that I have connected to another router for an ftp server. Problem is, i can only connect to one at a time because all my traffic gets defaulted to the ethernet connection, which doesn't lead anywhere. Is there a way to bind certain applications to a specific network connection? [00:49] Stameni: hit super + w, then click on it [00:49] Hi! While installing Natty final, custom partitioning, the box for setting the mount point only gives options and it is NOT possible to set custom mount points. Confirmed? Quite annoying... How to rename "/dos" after install? [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10752998] [00:49] HyperShock, what is "super" ? [00:49] Stameni: (windows key) [00:49] diglett, you can set routing options under network preferences [00:49] diglett, man route [00:50] Jordan_U, what is a "BIOS boot partition"? [00:50] Chilaquiles, which iso images? [00:50] HyperShock, i don't see it that way [00:50] right click the network applet and then select edit connections, then find your connection and edit it. it should have a tab where you can edit routes [00:50] HyperShock, it is like when some aplication go in system tray that is no more in unity [00:50] Stameni: oh, hmm [00:50] HyperShock, and now i can;t pick it up and save my work [00:51] hi , anyone tried ubuntu dvd ? does it support LVM during installation [00:51] Hey...I was wondering if anyone has had panel applets crash when using Gnome in Ubuntu 11.04 [00:51] Stameni, you can't alt-tab to it [00:51] Hey can someone here help me setup a daemon process on my server? Not quite sure how to do it >< [00:51] tjiggi_fo: any *.ISO image [00:51] Stameni: is it not listed in the unity bar anywhere? [00:51] If so, does anyone know how to correct it? [00:51] Hoyt, alernative installer supports lvm [00:51] Chilaquiles, downloads [00:51] 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. Since no such gap exists with GPT, and since partitions are pretty much free with GPT, a partition is used instead. [00:51] I'm considering installing medibuntu on top of my existing Natty. Is this action typically a problematic process? [00:51] Stameni: like with a white right pointing triangle next to it [00:51] I have installed 11.04 on my desktop along side windows 7 and when i try to boot up ubuntu it just sits on a blank screen and goes into sleep mode. Can anyone tell me my problem? [00:51] Stameni: also what shows up when you run geany again? [00:52] tjiggi_fo: is not there === Guest35493 is now known as Benek [00:52] nawk: The important part about the embedding area is that it won't move or be overwritten. [00:52] HyperShock, escott its not in unity bar, when i click on new geany it just open new geany [00:52] Chilaquiles, is it an iso file you downloaded? [00:52] escott, i can't alt-tab it [00:52] acicula: i'll try [00:52] Stameni, i know but can you alt-tab [00:52] tjiggi_fo: yeah [00:52] escott: You still around? [00:53] Stameni: what did you do to make it disappear, i'm going to duplicate it and see if i can get it back [00:53] :D [00:53] PaidSupport, yes no success? [00:53] wow so i updated to the narwhal, but reverted to classic cus it's balls. the network manager applet isn't working.. [00:53] i got it to boot to the text screen properly :D [00:53] how can i tell if i installed the beta vs the release version of 11.04? when i do a "about unbuntu" does the beta display "beta"? [00:53] HyperShock, just hit the "_" minimize button [00:53] escott: The install went flawlessly. Upgraded to 2.6.39. Still no backlight [00:53] I have installed 11.04 on my desktop along side windows 7 and when i try to boot up ubuntu it just sits on a blank screen and goes into sleep mode. Can anyone tell me my problem? [00:53] but does anyone know what causes this? [00:53] http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/9931/img3504o.jpg [00:53] mr_orange: one possibility is that the grub parameters are wrong [00:53] or rather how to fix it [00:53] escott: saved the output from everything I did in case it was important [00:53] Chipzzz, how do i fix that or check that [00:53] PaidSupport, well at least we know its not correct in the most recent upstream kernel [00:53] then, if you downloaded it as "your_user_name" it should be in the downloads folder of your home directory [00:54] escott: That's one more solution tried [00:54] PaidSupport, you could try any of these upstream kernels http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [00:54] Cairo|Mac: looks like PAM became foobared... is that a new install? [00:54] Jordan_U thanks, b/c I've never worked with GPT, I've always stick to the good ol MSDOS partition table [00:54] Cairo|Mac, if i had to guess it looks like the smb configuration file is corrupt [00:54] HyperShock, it's over, my work is gonne, there is no more geany process in the system monitor :/ ... i don't know what happend [00:54] PaidSupport, the same process, download the debs, install them, maybe run grub-mkconfig [00:54] Gnea: no i was an upgrade [00:54] acicula: any idea on how i would fix that? [00:55] Cairo|Mac: okay, so is this a fresh upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04? [00:55] eys [00:55] *yes === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [00:55] nawk: You're welcome. [00:55] though the upgrades never worked properly for me [00:55] they always killed my computer in some way [00:55] Chilaquiles, you can search for it. Go to Applications, Accessories, Search for Files [00:55] PaidSupport, im trying to find the debs from maverick, you could get them off the cd perhaps, but im not sure how the mirrors store stuff [00:55] tjiggi_fo: I already did thats why im here [00:55] acicula: my guess is that the problem isn't with samba, since it got the green light when it started [00:55] this is the latest [00:55] http://img233.imageshack.us/i/img3503a.jpg/ [00:55] PaidSupport, since you know those work I would try them next [00:56] escott: so back to 2.6.35? [00:56] its going to be 2.6.37 right? [00:56] Chilaquiles, then sorry, but I can't help [00:56] i dont remember [00:56] Gnea, it may be that it green lights, but those keywords look like they came from smb.conf [00:56] escott: could be 37, not sure. I know 10.10 was running 35 I think [00:56] ok 35 then [00:57] acicula: it's possible [00:57] Cairo|Mac, try purging samba and then installing samba again? [00:57] apt-get purge samba4 [00:57] mr_orange: here's something that might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169670 [00:57] apt-get install samba4 [00:57] ? [00:57] both [00:57] ok [00:57] thanks [00:58] escott: Alrighty. Downloading the three for .35. I'll give that a shot. [00:58] think the default aready is samba 4 so shouldnt have to specify that or [00:58] PaidSupport, i think this is the most recent http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick-updates/linux-image-2.6.35-28-generic === Douche is now known as derp [00:58] acicula: jsut so you know, samba4 has some problem upgrading when i upgraded to 11.04 [00:58] that's probably the cause [00:59] PaidSupport, and you will want the matching headers [00:59] Stameni: you mean to tell me that you did like hours of work with out making any incremental saves? [00:59] Cairo|Mac, are you sure it did not just prompt you as to what it should do with the configuration file? [00:59] HyperShock, i have tried again and i was able to alt-tab it alltought i didn't saw it anywhere and it did not dock in unity's bar. [00:59] PaidSupport, and of course make sure to select the kernel from the boot menu [00:59] acicula: yes [00:59] Guys? I know you're not the devs of Ubuntu 11.04, but if you know the devs, tell them to 'not fix what ain't broke' I am getting errors from everywhere [00:59] it it ok if it has lots of "ignored unknown paramater:"? [01:00] HyperShock, no, [01:00] Cairo|Mac, probably not [01:00] oh [01:00] can someone help me with my AWK syntax? dpkg -l | awk print $1 [01:00] i am [01:00] I get this: *ERROR* atombios stuck on loop for more than 5 seconds. aborting [01:00] Unable to andle kernel NULL pointer dereference [01:00] Unexpected exit with status 0x0009 [01:00] you can see lots of them in http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/9931/img3504o.jpg [01:00] up the top [01:00] HyperShock, my work is mostly saved and part that gonne is not so big, but anyway, this should not happen [01:00] timClicks, awk '{ print $1 }' [01:00] Cairo|Mac, though as Gnea pointed out it may still be starting samba given it shows a green light [01:01] escott, perfect thanks [01:01] so it might be ok? [01:01] timClicks, you can always remember because awk has a beginning middle and end code blocks that need to be in curly braces [01:01] So I noticed today that ecryptfs appears to be eating half of my diskspace. Been reading the man pages to see why, and since it's on the fly encryption, it would seem this should not be. In the disk analyzer it appears in the home directory ecryptfs has duplicated my home directory, but it's copy is actually larger than the original. That seems strange. Am I just looking at this wrong? [01:01] This is the xorg.conf file I'm using, but nouveau isn't working properly: http://pastebin.ca/2052662 Any ideas? Has nvidia released drivers for 11.04 yet? [01:01] jukebox-zero, the encrypted filesystem is loop mounted back on top of /home/username [01:01] why are there lines all over my right click options for indicator applets... [01:01] Stameni: ok, i just installed geany, it asked me if I wanted to add it to my launcher, i said, no. I opened it and them minimized it, it then showed up at the bottom of my unity bar. My suggestions to you is to uninstall geany via the soft center and then reinstall it so that it will have the necessary unity elements in place. [01:01] I'm considering installing medibuntu's packages on top of my existing Natty install. Does this action typically cause problemss? [01:01] Cairo|Mac, idk, does purging and reinstalling solve the problem? [01:01] jukebox-zero, so it may duplicate your du count, but its not double the disk usage [01:01] im abiut to rebiit [01:01] and ffind out [01:02] Gnea, I remembered there were a couple of libraries I had to reference prior, now it works. but now i have no system tray and it doesn't remember my password [01:02] HyperShock, maby thats the problem, geany is docked by default in unity bar on my system ! [01:03] HyperShock, and if it is so, than the minimized geeany just desapear [01:03] litropy, you mean to add the medibuntu repositories? === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D [01:03] hello [01:03] acicula, yes [01:03] 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] what is samba 24? [01:03] escott, that's what I was hoping to hear. Thanks. [01:04] Stameni: then i ofcourse had to do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --fix-broken [01:04] acicula, and at that point, I'm going to install ... please hold [01:04] chipmenk: me thinks that is the ipv6 variety [01:04] In unity, for some reason the top bar where the close, minimize, and the maximize button dissapears [01:04] HyperShock, i had clean install [01:04] 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] well they are just addon packages for the most part, so i dont see why you should run into problems [01:04] hi guys [01:04] does anyone know why this is [01:04] hello [01:04] newone in ubuntu [01:05] fisch246, doing a remote upgrade? [01:05] acicula, alrighty thank you [01:05] HyperShock, and freshly installed geany, and then i set system from the scratch [01:05] acicula: yes, i did not use SSH [01:05] acicula: no, that doesn't fix it [01:05] HyperShock, and freshly installed geany, and then i set system from the scratch [01:05] when I run some commands like make, I frequently get an error - notifications.c:744:13: warning: ignoring return value of âasprintfâ, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [01:05] Stameni: try the dpkg command just in case [01:05] well I have an archos 9 tablet pc with a 9" touchscreen [01:05] what does this mean? [01:05] this is waht i got when i reinstalled samba4 [01:05] http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/80/img3506pc.jpg [01:05] Also, my screen resolution is not properley set in 11.04 [01:05] Cairo|Mac, weird, do you have some custom samba packages or other samba packages on the system? [01:05] PaidSupport, still there? [01:05] All of the other distros work fine [01:06] acicula: not afaik [01:06] HyperShock, I did it [01:06] unless they were automatically installed [01:06] 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] Does anybody know if there are official nvidia drivers for 11.04 yet? [01:06] my tablet stuck on boot about 15 minutes now [01:06] escott: I am. trying to figure out what a header file is [01:06] WhitePelican, did you get skype recognizing the cam? [01:07] escott: Only found just the one .deb at that link [01:07] lcb, yes [01:07] idk, i have a gts 250, and my video is messed up [01:07] PaidSupport, i think you could skip the header file... just make sure to install it if this works [01:07] should i still wait for it or should i reformat my tablet? [01:07] WhitePelican, what did you do? restart? [01:07] 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] nikos719, 10.04 [01:07] acicula: i dont think so [01:07] not unless they were installed automatically [01:07] 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 [01:08] hiexpo what do you mean? [01:08] no, I remembered I had a script that referenced a couple of v4l liraries and then it runs skype [01:08] thanks for the help guys, networks been kinda spotty, have any idea on a good guide for manually setting the network preferences? [01:08] PaidSupport, and the header files are not architecture specific so there is only one file (no amd64 vs i386) [01:08] please help me guys [01:08] escott: ok, I'll be back [01:08] opening sound prefrences has a major issue with speech something on my machine... i get a bunch of randomly opening and erroring terminals complaining about python something something. any idea how to make sound prefrences work again? === satan is now known as Guest60254 [01:08] whats your problem nikos719 [01:08] nikos719, ubuntu 10.04 [01:08] WhitePelican, ahh ok, great.

[01:09] SinnerNyx: sudo service networking restart [01:09] What tablet do you have [01:09] but now, no sytem tray icon, and it forgets my password, lcb [01:09] 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] HyperShock, eaven if i set that geany is nod in louncher by default, it still doesn't minimize it there ... [01:09] WhitePelican, i just installed and looks ok... [01:09] acicula: i assumed that 11.04 installed that by default... [01:10] HyperShock, there is some problem with my system alone, probably [01:10] if i purge samba4 again and install samba would that wrok? [01:10] 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] Cairo|Mac, nope, you have to explicitly enable samba4 [01:10] Cairo|Mac, its worth a try [01:10] lcb, from medibuntu or the skype webite? [01:10] website* [01:10] acicula: oh [01:10] Stameni: although my geany is behaving correctly. [01:10] acicula: ill try that then [01:10] HyperShock, are you rrunning 64 or 42 bit ?

[01:18] !grub | WindowNumOne [01:18] WindowNumOne: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[01:21] WindowNumOne: grub has a timeout delay that may now be set to 0 rather than 5... hold down the shift key while the machine boots & you can edit the grub menu [01:21] ah [01:21] pericynthion: You're welcome. One last thing though, to be sure upgrades will work in the future can you pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc"? [01:21] WindowNumOne: Hold shift during boot to see the grub menu. [01:21] Pentium 4, @2Ghz, 1GB ram, 128MB ATI radeon 9250 >> Unity works very nice! [01:21] binoy, what about ubuntu one isn't working? [01:21] WhitePelican, sometimes is better if we stay with normal releases... [01:21] hi, im trying to use ndiswrapper to get a PCI wireless card installed on ubuntu. this is the error i get when i try to make install it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/602055/ [01:21] NO I didn't lose it after installing windows I dont have windows installed yet it just stopped poppin up [01:22] [01:22] uRock: nothing. It cant be launched [01:22] WhitePelican, but i don't mean by this yours could be buggy. it could be also something elese, the issues you are having [01:22] possible [01:22] uRock: i tried purging and reinsatlling. still doesnt work. [01:22] WindowNumOne: It's normal for the grub menu not to show at boot with Ubuntu. [01:22] binoy, does it give any error messages when you start it via terminal? [01:22] WindowNumOne: you can reinstall it with grub-install [01:22] PaidSupport, how about now? [01:23] I'm on natty this time =) [01:23] just "aborted" [01:23] well, time to sleep, bye WhitePelican. good luck with that. nite all [01:23] Its installed I tried to install another bootmanager Lilo? over it but it did not work [01:23] Can someone please help me? I'm using libreoffice on gnome3, and after I click print for a document, gnome3 immediately says printing cancelled for that document, and i have no idea why [01:23] Escott: Running 2.6.35 and I have a backlight, and unity [01:23] ty lcb and goodnight [01:23] PaidSupport, excellent [01:23] uRock: just "aborted" [01:23] acicula: it gets further now.. [01:23] though it throws a failed error [01:23] escott: so, about that header file thing you were talking about. Is that something I need to do? [01:24] and it turns out i had samba AND samba4 installed [01:24] binoy, honestly I have never used ubuntuone, but I was hoping for a usable error message [01:24] 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] WindowNumOne: Are you installing it in the correct partition? [01:24] otherwise you are stuck on the old kernel forever [01:24] Cairo|Mac, whats the error [01:24] escott: where can I find the kernel team? [01:24] jsut amo [01:24] PaidSupport, without the headers some applications won't be able to be installed correctly [01:24] pcis uploading [01:24] *pic [01:24] Cairo|Mac, having them both installed does explain it a little [01:24] yeah [01:25] uRock: yeah. me too. [01:25] I have ubuntu as one big drive [01:25] In 10.10 my web browser (firefox) automatically redirected to web pages.( Facebook would go to http://www.facebook.com) In 11.04 it dpesn't any reason why?(Not that big a deal though) [01:25] Hello, im getting the following errors while trying to install ndiswrapper. I dont not have an internet connection so i had to download ndiswrapper and then bring it over by a usb stick. http://paste.ubuntu.com/602055/ [01:25] uRock: thanks for reply bro. Is there someone who can help? [01:25] I couldnt boot into my windows drive so I delelted it [01:25] WindowNumOne, are you dual booting? [01:25] acicula: http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/9358/img3507sk.jpg [01:25] jhg [01:26] hello! [01:26] PaidSupport, #ubuntu-kernel also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel, but you will want to narrow things down to be able to say "this particular kernel works, this one doesn't, this is my hardware" as best you can [01:26] how's everyone enjoying Unity? [01:26] how do I allocate drive space to install ubuntu without affecting the other OS? [01:26] aphexcoil: Very funny. :( [01:26] grub-install just gave me a bunch of options would uninstalling then reinstalling via ubunto software install work [01:26] !ot aphexcoil, [01:26] escott: sounds like an adventure. [01:26] Cairo|Mac, thats a different and unrelated error [01:26] actually it was a real question ... I'm about to upgrade :) [01:26] acicula: ok [01:26] Is there a way to go back from using unity? and stick with gnome? [01:26] aphexcoil: My advice: DON'T. [01:26] Cairo|Mac, id start looking in syslog or messages to see what that is about [01:27] how? [01:27] 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] 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] you can still use Gnome, right? [01:27] Will do [01:27] ubuntuone is not working. please help me out. [01:27] !classic | aphexcoil [01:27] aphexcoil: 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. [01:27] thanks escott [01:27] Unity has been awesome for me [01:27] WindowNumOne: are you planning to reinstall Windows & dual boot? [01:27] Yes [01:28] PaidSupport, im done for the night so goodnight and goodluck [01:28] aphexcoil, unity BLOWS lol [01:28] 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] escott: thanks again! [01:28] 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] are you guys recommending a fresh install? === PolarPanda is now known as JChrist [01:28] aphexcoil: I am, but I don't speak for the rest of #ubuntu. [01:29] all my files are on dropbox, so it isn't a hassle to do a fresh install [01:29] But I was going to install windows first then, ubuntu new one [01:29] somebody help me with ubuntuone [01:29] aphexcoil, only difference in a fresh install is that it makes your grub screen purple lol [01:29] hahaha [01:29] purple grub screen, awesome === JChrist is now known as JesusChrist === JesusChrist is now known as JebusChrist [01:30] aphexcoil, i've not needed to do that [01:30] If it wasn't for Ubuntu Software Center I think I would install OpenSuSe [01:30] how to disable the snap to middle grid? [01:30] 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] Also, any way to go back to firefox 3.6? Selenium isn't compatible with 4.* [01:30] The other difference, if you're "lucky", is that your drivers are borked and your system freezes. [01:30] the undervolting really helps keep the laptop cool [01:30] lol [01:30] acicula: but i still get the inverted color and text screen in a normal boot [01:30] Hello, is ANYBODY else having problems with dbus-deamon sucking up 30%+ cpu usage? [01:30] somebody help me with ubuntuone [01:31] Through messing with my system too much in 11.04, I managed to lose my clock [01:31] 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] Any ideas how I can get it back? [01:31] E.g. there is no clock in the upper right of my screen. I'm using the unity desktop [01:31] why can't we add devices to the bar at the top or bottom in unity? I miss the CPU monitors and weather, etc. [01:32] aphexcoil, just login without unity [01:32] 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] that defeats the purpose of having Unity [01:32] what do i do [01:32] I'd like Unity to include those things [01:32] Ubuntu without Unity is like a car with no fuel [01:32] how am i supposed to switch windows easily in unity? [01:32] ubuntu without unity is like a car WITH fuel [01:32] Nobody makes you use unity, just pick the ubuntu classic desktop and stfu [01:32] in unity, open Time & Date, go to the clock tab and check the box "show a clock in menu bar" [01:32] lol kusanagi [01:33] WindowNumOne, hit the shift key while booting to get the grub menu === altin_ is now known as altin [01:33] jbag, thanks, I managed to remove that package, but clicking on it opened up its page in ubuntu software center <3 [01:33] kusanagi, change is inevitable [01:33] I'm just suggesting an enhancement for unity, Rockets [01:33] unity is not ready yet... forcing it to users is the dumbest move ive seen from ubuntu [01:33] aphexcoil, I know, I was talking to uRock mainly [01:33] oh [01:33] Running 10.10, my laptop fan seems to be a bit louder than when I ran windows [01:33] aphexcoil, but I agree that that sort of defeats the purpose of unity dude. [01:33] 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? [01:34] Has anyone else come across File roller issues in 11.04 with CBR files; they open fine, but cannot extract file contents? [01:34] kusanagi: nah dude.. this happened all the time.. one release you couldn't even edit the menu [01:34] you can still use Gnome in 11.04 [01:34] kusanagi: wait till you start using ground up distros, you start to hate that distros bundle anything you have to remove anyway :) [01:34] rockets, what is your issue? [01:34] uRock, unity is cool idea, but is not ready yet... and hope you dont think it is... [01:34] Boa noite [01:34] jbag, I don't see that option now that it's installed :( [01:35] Boa noite [01:35] kusanagi, it is ready, if you want stable, then stick with LTSes [01:35] unity should had been turned on as a test by whoever who wants it... and dont make it default :/ [01:35] Unity is ready for some people ... it's going to take time to adapt to it like any new release [01:35] how can i revert back to the desktop in 10.10? please [01:35] !classic [01:35] 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] DO you think having the new version of ubuntu is what causing me not able to burn ISO? should I go back? [01:35] no Window [01:35] estou com problema na minha placa wirelles no 11.04 [01:35] rockets, why did you tell me to stfu? I think it was uncalled ofr [01:36] hello, is there an msn client that works with CAM? [01:36] Unity rulez :) [01:36] you should be able to burn ISOs in the new version [01:36] i'm using the Unity 2D version [01:36] uRock, I apologize good sir. [01:36] How do I stop dovecot? I did "service dovecot stop" , and it returns stop: Unknown instance: [01:36] . But it's still in "ps aux" [01:36] aphexcoil, hello again lol [01:36] maxjezy: empathy works or try amsn [01:36] and it appears to be lightweight even in a legacy pc [01:36] hey Calif! [01:36] I had to log into a different server [01:36] uRock, you sound like an apple fanboy lol [01:36] the other one was too quiet [01:36] everton, try #ubuntu-br [01:36] I was wondering what happened [01:36] freenodes awesome for that [01:36] lol at apple fanboy [01:36] kusanagi, I have never touched an Aplle [01:36] Any idea why Youtube video plays just fine, but hulu video is choppy? [01:37] *Apple [01:37] hi [01:37] I loved Apple back in the IIgs era [01:37] uRock, well, change apple for ubuntu... and you can hang out with them [01:37] any1here? [01:37] need help [01:37] DO you think having the new version of ubuntu is what causing me not able to burn ISO? should I go back? [01:37] kusanagi, old gnome looks too much like XP [01:37] I read "!Classic" as "Not Classic" [01:37] Why can't you burn an ISO, Window? [01:37] kusanagi, why you trolling? [01:37] instead of repeating the same thing over and over, why don't you tell us what the problem is? [01:37] so has the unity hate died down since thursday? [01:37] It just say ERROR or something. I can get it go through simulation but thats it [01:38] It sucks [01:38] i have enabled one click option to open files, but how to just select it? ubuntu 10.10 [01:38] couse trolls like to be fed [01:38] don't feed the trolls :) [01:38] are you trying this under Unity or Gnome, Window? [01:38] uRock, im not against unity, but it has big bugs yet to make it default... they should had put it as optional... [01:38] it is optional [01:38] it's default, but optional [01:38] uRock, i actually enter to make a question, but nobody answer it [01:38] how to disable the snap to middle grid? [01:38] kusanagi, if they never implement it, then the bugs will never get reported and fixed [01:39] it shocks me the number of users that think they "have" to use GNOME with ubuntu [01:39] uRock: the better way is to do propper debugging and testing before releasing to your users. [01:39] kusanagi: Can you please take the unity-as-default discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [01:39] Thank you. I'll try. [01:39] 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] does anyone know what causes this error? [01:39] isarl, people who want rock solid stability, really should stick to LTSes [01:39] http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/9358/img3507sk.jpg [01:39] we used to always debug in production ... Like Bill O'Reilly said, "F it, we'll do it live!" [01:40] Ima shoot myself if I can get windows back [01:40] uRock: People who are willing to deal with bugs in production should be using alpha releases. [01:40] no1 knows how to do that? ubuntu users.... [01:40] sure... Flannel, i was actually making a question :/ I just answered a guy to turn off unity to get back panel icons... ^^ [01:40] 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] 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] uRock: business as usual for Ubuntu, though. [01:40] never use 11.04 version pls [01:41] [*|NOTICE|*] STARTING JUNE 1ST, FREENODE WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU CONNECT TO IT. UNLESS YOU ENABLE SASL YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO CONNECT TO FREENODE.

[01:41] every time a new version of anything comes out, people are going to bitch about something [01:41] kusanagi: I'm aware of that, and appreciate it. Support is here, other discussions belong about #ubuntu-offotpic. Thanks. [01:41] 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] I am still using LTS :-), but I already finish Natty Release Party yesterday [01:41] uRock: Here's another one for you: when I upgraded, I could barely boot. [01:41] isarl, clean installs for the win [01:41] uRock: average our experiences and it's still pretty terrible. that's why I used the term "fallout" earlier. [01:41] kusanagi: upgrading is option [01:41] is that true, what that spambot said? [01:42] exchgr: No. [01:42] good stuff [01:42] 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] 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] uRock, isarl: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.

[01:45] how i kill the process [01:45] why is vlc so glitchy in ubuntu 11.4 [01:45] except for toshiba netbook (i dont remember the series) [01:45] it is glitchier than anything i have ever used [01:45] Lesterwood, because 11.4 doesn't exist most likely [01:45] amrinz: hmm.. ok will try to reburn [01:45] KM0201: That was really, really helpful.

I downloaded an extension and played with about: section and its so messed up I can even type in URL's.. [01:49] Stameni: sudo apt-get purge firefox [01:49] why use nano and vi [01:49] When I remove and reinstall it, it is just the same [01:49] "--purge" [01:49] hiexpo: i dont have access to the graphica lstuff atm [01:49] steela: rm -r ~/.mozilla in a shell [01:50] No way to do it :( [01:50] Steela, open Synaptic Package Manager and select to completely remove Firefox [01:50] !firefox [01:50] 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] 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] uRock, doesn't that leave the crap in the home directory? [01:51] isarl: it says it can't find any screens... lol [01:51] jenkinsear I remeoved .mozilla myself but just going around and deleting files and crap but it fugged it up more [01:51] no, it shouldn't. complete removal is supposed to remove that [01:51] jenkinSear, your way is faster and easier [01:51] 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] what's a good web frontend for a caldav server? [01:52] isarl: ok np [01:52] not sure if i could pastebing it using nano and lynx... [01:52] or w/e that text browser is called [01:52] amrinz: seems the unity interface isn't starting [01:52] Cairo|Mac: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [01:52] amrinz: i started the cd on another system and it worked fine [01:52] Cairo|Mac: yeah, it's lynx. but you might be able to copy the file to another computer and pastebin it there. [01:52] pastebinit should really be installed by default [01:52] Maahes: thanks [01:53] Cairo|Mac: or, use Maahes suggestion..! [01:53] i hear the ubuntu start up sound... then things just sit there [01:53] and all you do is pastebinit file and it gives you a link [01:53] kalleth2, how much ram does that system have? [01:53] will the live cd / unity fail if it is using a non-accelerated video driver? [01:53] there's options too, but I've never really needed to use them ^_^ [01:53] guys i got a stupid question, if i move something to the trash and delete it can i ever get it back? === rockets is now known as zacharyalexstern [01:54] hmm [01:54] KM0201: if you ment me... 5GB [01:54] kallisti5, a lot of times, yes.. it will not default to the 2d desktop... you can use the alt. cd [01:54] also instead of lynx try: elinks, links2 or w3m [01:54] kallisti5, yeah, i did.. thank you [01:54] kallisti5, whats your graphics device? [01:54] Ati radeon HD [01:54] 4350 i think [01:55] kallisti5: you can boot into a failsafe graphics mode that will work with anything for testing purposes [01:55] k. is there any way to see syslogs or access a terminal? [01:55] ctl+alt+fX would be *inifitely* useful atm [01:55] www.paste.ubuntu.com/602066 [01:55] kallisti5, i'm really not sure.. but as said, you can try booting into the failsafe. [01:55] k. [01:56] thanks for the infos [01:56] kalleth2, sudo less /var/log/auth.log [01:56] kallisti5, i'd be really surprised if that ATI device supported the 3D desktop on the live CD. [01:56] Anyone else who sees their Global Menu/Status Menu freeze every once in a while? [01:56] 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] KM0201: aren't radeon's pretty common? [01:56] what ? Stameni: sudo apt-get purge firefox [01:57] kallisti5, yes, they are, but radeons linux support sucks. [01:57] always has [01:57] Stameni: he was having trouble with firefox [01:57] not any more.. the recent radeon xorg drivers work pretty well [01:57] oh its you [01:57] lol [01:57] Like right now, I can't access the Banshee, Calendar, etc it's frozen [01:57] that should get rid of hte config files and stuff for it [01:57] do that and then reinstall it [01:57] Cairo|Mac, so what that has to do with me ? :) [01:57] or was it someoen else?... [01:58] whoops [01:58] are there plans to move away from unity towards gnome 3 at any point? [01:58] Cairo|Mac :) [01:58] lol [01:58] cause thus far it has been hit or miss... and gnome 3 is pretty awesome [01:58] kallisti5: no Unity will stay the default for a long time [01:58] s$#%$# [01:58] ok.. back to debian i go [01:59] Is there a keyboard shortcut to maximize windows without taking over the top bar or hiding the dock? [01:59] kalleth2: you can use gnome still you know... [02:00] Cairo|Mac, i've heard a lot of complaints that the live cd will not fall back to gnome, when the 3D desktop fails to load [02:00] ok [02:01] KM0201: o/ === jason86 is now known as ichigo100 [02:01] has anyone experienced the bug where 11.04 all of a sudden just logs out, saving nothing, and presenting the login screen? [02:02] itaylor57, o/ [02:02] rehan that sounds like an X crash [02:02] Jordan_U I was having a little connection difficulty earlier. Did you get see my question ? :-) [02:02] Rehan, what did you have running when it happened? [02:02] nawk: No. [02:02] uRock: libreoffice this time, but before its been terminal [02:03] odd [02:03] Jordan_U may I ask for your permission to pm it to you b/c last time I typed it, the bot kicked me. (I think the spambot has gotten too sensitive lately, really heh) [02:04] nawk: I'd prefer if you used pastebin for the question. [02:04] how can I see the error logs of what happened? [02:04] okay, I'll do just that :-) [02:04] Hi all. Is this the right place to talk about an idea for a program? [02:04] Rehan should be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:05] does anyone know waht might cause this? === bubba is now known as RobRob [02:05] www.paste.ubuntu.com/602066 [02:05] i just upgraded to the latest version of ubuntu. something or other elephant. How do i prevent the 'taskbar' from autohiding and can i put it on the bottom of the screen? [02:05] johwil: No, but you can try #ubuntu-offtopic. === RobRob is now known as RobRobQV [02:05] Jordan_U: were you talking to me? [02:05] Jahooty: It is currently impossible to put it at the bottom of the screen. However, using ccsm, you can turn off auto-hiding. [02:05] oh no [02:05] !ccsm | Jahooty [02:05] Jahooty: 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 [02:05] i didnt see that first word lol [02:06] Cairo: No. [02:06] sorry [02:06] Jahooty: You'd want the first package in ubottu's response. [02:06] greetings ! I have problems with my printer Cannon iP2700 series the error message is File '/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc' not found" in Ubuntu natty [02:06] ok Thanks Jordan_U [02:06] jenkinSear: here's mine -- any look weird in it? http://pastie.org/1855166 [02:06] johwil: You're welcome. [02:06] moving a panel/taskbar is now in compiz? === wilson is now known as Guest1224 [02:07] seems like needless complication [02:07] does anyone have any idea on how to fix this? [02:07] thats ubuntu for ya [02:07] www.paste,ubuntu.com/6-2-66 [02:07] whoops [02:07] www.paste.ubuntu.com/602066 [02:08] can i install libreoffice alongside with openoffice [02:08] Rehan, looks like your nvidia drivers are acting up, may be out of sync with your kernel [02:08] I'd suggest reinstalling them [02:08] jenkinSear: any other log files i should look at? [02:09] Evening [02:09] How do I easily backup my 10.04 so I can easily do a direct upgrade to 11.04? [02:09] Cairo: I think the url is still ng [02:09] claudiomet: have you tried reinstalling it yet? [02:09] oh [02:09] nop, it's a natty fresh installation [02:10] www.paste.ubuntu/602066 [02:10] claudiomet: ok, just because ubuntu says it sees it doesn't mean you have the drivers, you are going to have to go get the ppd file and get installed. [02:10] or [02:10] DrGrov: you could use the dd command, thats what I do [02:10] I reinstalled the printer twice with the same results [02:10] hi guys why flash player unstable with natty and fglrx ? [02:11] Rehan: Do explain more throughly [02:11] www.paste.ubuntu.com/602073/ [02:11] he. I just finished creating a ext4 raid array on ubuntu 11.04, problem is: it does not mount automatically, regardless of my fstab. Anyone can shed some light on this? (in mdadm.conf, I have ARRAY /dev/md0 metadata=1.2 name=strav-nas:0 UUID=somethingsomething.... If I check /dev, I have a md folder where there's a file named strav-nas:0; don't exactly know what I should do about it) [02:11] claudiomet: priv msg me and tell the exact steps you took to install it [02:11] DrGrov: ok one sec [02:12] can i install libreoffice alongside with openoffice [02:12] Guest1224: why not? [02:12] Guest1224: yes [02:12] you could try [02:12] !nick Guest1224 [02:12] oh [02:12] Guest1224: but why would you, libreoffice is far superior to openoffice [02:12] DrGrov: you can backup the entire ubuntu partition to either another partition or an external hard drive [02:12] Rehan: Sure, no hurry. Please take it in a PM. Would be good to save it as well === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [02:13] !nick wilson [02:13] anyone have any idea?

[02:14] paste.ubuntu.com/602066 then [02:14] caio: lol [02:14] Man, spam must be getting out of hands lately. I tried to pastebin something simple on paste.debian.net and it's asking me to 'do this, do that' [02:14] I can not get back firefox the way it was at all. I did everything sudo apt-get remove , sudo apt-get purge, Tried to remove from ubuntu software center, Synaptic.....NOTHING [02:15] try deleting the .firefox folder in your home directory [02:15] hey guys, i got a new 6 button mouse, standard left right middle, then 3 on thumb forward back and thumb middle. i can't get linux to detect the middle thumb [02:15] (I should also add, my array is visible from nautilus, it gets mounted using it's UUID) [02:15] !unity > zacharyalexstern [02:15] zacharyalexstern, please see my private message [02:15] i even downloaded btnx in hopes it would detect and configure the buttons, but didn't [02:16] any ideas? [02:16] thanks [02:16] I can not get back firefox the way it was at all. I did everything sudo apt-get remove , sudo apt-get purge, Tried to remove from ubuntu software center, Synaptic.....NOTHING [02:16] how do I remove firefox [02:16] I mean .firefox [02:16] My gnome shell stopped working after some system restarts and is running only default gnome interface. How can I back to gnome-shell interface? [02:16] Silentmyst: you could try cat on the mmouse device and see if the kernel is seeing the events [02:16] Is there a simple way of creating a Unity 2D session? [02:17] hey, if anyone is having issues with synaptic in ubuntu 11.04, I posted a forum thread that solves the issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1746485 [02:17] Steela: *mouse [02:17] I deleted .mozilla its in my trash [02:17] Jordan_U, http://paste.debian.net/?show=115718;lines=0 [02:17] Yeah I think its gone [02:17] Steela, what do you mean by "I can not get back firefox the way it was at all" [02:17] Steela: rm $HOME/.mozilla/firefox [02:17] Jordan_U it's a lil follow-up question. [02:17] Cairo: I think the answer lies in line 115 [02:17] Hello Everybody.... [02:18] ello, ello [02:18] hi , i tried alternative cd , it didn't support root partition encryption ? [02:18] well, just wanted to post that thread. Hope it helps. bye all [02:18] IT worked fine, I downloaded too much extensions and then changed some setting in about: Now I cant click on anything, there no extensions cuz I deleted .mozzilla , I cant type in websites [02:19] Silentmyst: don't pm please [02:19] Anyone here with some experience with raid5 on ubuntu >= 10.10 [02:19] Chipzzz: ok thanks [02:19] ubuntu 11.04 does not install broadcom drivers [02:19] Is possible upgrade the backtrack 4 for a Ubuntu 11.04 in aptitude, without change the toolkit [02:19] ?? [02:19] Silentmyst: open a terminal.. cat /dev/input/mouse0 === jahsun is now known as munz [02:20] k [02:20] is there anything that i can do to make things faster? things load so slow [02:20] 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] caio: i have a one letter different name :P [02:20] Saku I delete .firefox with mouse do i still need too rm $HOME/.mozilla/firefox [02:20] Silentmyst: might need sudo for that [02:21] Chipzzz: would that mean that i cant use my driver? [02:21] wahts with all the floodbots/ [02:21] Where is the menu in 11.04? For example, I just want to find Internet applications (in gnome-panel menu it is Applications>Internet>) [02:22] hi , is it possible to remove all sort of things related to Unity interface , and get my gnome interface back ? [02:22] At an interval of about 30 seconds, my computer fan seems to increase in volume and intensity, lasting for 2-3 seconds. Running 10.10... This has happened on most other linuxes that I have tried on this computer. Anything I can do about it? [02:22] Hoyt: Yes, choose classic gnome from the session menu before logging in [02:22] Hoyt: in the login screen, select 'classic desktop' [02:23] 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] Good [02:23] Silentmyst: so you're seeing the gibberish when you push the buttons, except middle thumb? [02:24] 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] This is what I got , rm: cannot remove ' /home/juz/,mozilla./firefox': Is a directory [02:24] yes, but nothing for left and right wheel tilts either, yet btnx detects left and right tilts as buttons - wierd... [02:24] 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] Steela: because there is no ",mozilla." directory [02:25] While trying to activate an nvidia driver in the Additional Drivers dialogue, I got an error. /var/log/jockey.log says "modinfo for module nvidia_current failed". How do I fix this? [02:25] hypershock: ok, so how do i remove open office>? [02:25] Hello anyone here experiencing slow graphics performance with 11.04? I have a macbook pro with an nvidia GT 9600 and I'm trying to play a simple bubble game and it just lags like crazy. [02:25] I mean .mozilla [02:25] ok, this is frustrating. Ever since upgrading to natty, im getting a lot of popup errors when clicking on shortcuts of mine or even some files. Basically it shows the the correct path to the file, but then says: "Cannot display......The location is not a folder". Why the heck is it thinkings its a folder in the beginning? [02:25] Silentmyst: maybe those are a different mouse device like mouse1, 2, 3? [02:25] Is there a program where I can simply drag vob's into and click burn? I've tried Devede and Brasero but neither seem to play nice :( [02:26] im not sure, i just haven't been able to get that middle thumb button working, its like linux is not seeing it at all, the mouse is brand new but the software is windows only so im kinda at a loss [02:26] HyperShock: I dont see what you are talking about [02:26] What is the default IRC program with Ubuntu? [02:26] Silentmyst: I meant, try cat with the other files [02:27] killer_: empathy comes installed, but is very limited for it [02:27] When trying to activate an nvidia driver in Additional Drivers, I get this message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/602077/ How do I fix this? [02:27] remote desktop viewer doesn't seem to work in natty. i can click around and see the background, but the menus don't pop up and it doesnt' update the screen properly [02:27] killer_: try x-chat [02:27] 0-1-2-3? [02:27] Silentmyst: yeah [02:27] calamari: my favourite is konversation [02:27] LESSON OF THE DAY: Dont ever ever upgrade your ubuntu to 11.04 === ross is now known as Guest70109 [02:27] k 1 sec [02:27] Artarian: wait for 11.10 eh :) [02:28] How would i limit the cpu % a user can use? [02:28] Artarian: if something was working for you, why upgrade? [02:28] Chipzzz: default as in noveua? [02:28] Sonjaaa: or do a fresh install. but don't upgrade. [02:28] Sonjaaa, he*l yea [02:28] Silentmyst: have you read this? === oden is now known as Guest40031 [02:28] calamari, to experience new feature? [02:28] Cairo: yes [02:28] doc|home: ok. currently using XChat. I wanted to see what other options there were and prefer to start with 'default' apps in the various *buntu flavors. [02:28] HyperShock: I see what you mean now.. this upper right menu is not visible at first until clicking more applications or anything [02:28] Artarian: you're experiencing the new features lol [02:28] (if memory serves) [02:28] 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] 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] a111, ulimits perhaps [02:29] soreau: yeah.... [02:29] calamari, trust me i am ! lol nvidia and ATI graphic cards are just hell now [02:29] nawk: Your impression was incorrect. [02:29] killer_: most people use that or irssi (console based) [02:29] soreau: and then a strange thing starts to happen, this unity it grows on you like ringworm, only you are not scratching. [02:29] HyperShock: Way more to do just to see the menu than in gnome 2.0/maverick [02:29] Jordan_U Is my latter assumption somewhat closer to reality? [02:29] jenkinSear: how would i reinstall my nvidia drivers? [02:29] soreau: for instance i've figure out how to cull my unity and reorganize it already [02:29] nawk: No. [02:30] Artarian: but seriously.. that's why I'm running a frankenbuntu of kde3.5 and lucid [02:30] why am I getting "apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}" when I run 'apache2 -S' ?? [02:30] soreau: yeah, cept you should put your commonly used items on the unity bar [02:30] 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] HyperShock: I just want an easy way to access the menu [02:30] calamari, ok so i cat 1-2-3, nothing happens at all with mouse1 - and mouse 2 and 3 aren't found === nick is now known as Guest94905 [02:30] killer_: yep, haven't used many though [02:30] back later [02:30] Silentmyst: k.. well that was my only idea. basically those should be showing whatever linux sees [02:31] 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] Silentmyst: however it's possible that the additional functions are in a different device as well that I don't know about [02:31] darn [02:31] 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 [02:32] isarl: what part of the upgrade fails when fresh install is fine? [02:32] Silentmyst: there are a number of /dev/input/event# devices in mine [02:32] how big is the ubuntu server cd? [02:33] Sonjaaa: Well, for me, my graphics drivers are totally broken. But it's different in every situation. Fresh installs are just generally more headache-free. [02:33] cool [02:33] guess i'll just be stuck with out it sadly - dunno what else to do [02:33] thx for your help cal [02:33] Silentmyst: yw.. btw is it usb? [02:34] Hello, I am trying to install a program called ROOT. I did: ./configure and it says: libX11 MUST be installed. I ran the command: sudo apt-get install libx11-dev and it said it is already installed. What is wrong here? Thank you. [02:34] use wireless [02:34] Hi all, anyone else having issues with pidgin not showing in the notification area after a dist-upgrade? (I've reinstalled pidgin-libnotify) [02:34] Silentmyst: what seems to be the problem? [02:34] Wubi doesnt seem to be updating my boot.ini on windows xp. is xp no longer supported? [02:34] i can't get 1 of 6 buttons on my new mouse to be seen by linux [02:34] its got 3 normal left right middle, and 3 thumb forward back and middle [02:34] wow, was there room for the optical eye? [02:35] linux doesn't see middle [02:35] so 5 out 6 are working? [02:35] yea [02:35] mathboy2600: XP is still supported. You're saying that it didn't modify your boot.ini during install? [02:35] what is make and model of the mouse? [02:35] I thought i won't hear XP in this room :-) [02:36] Help, please! [02:36] that a gopher [02:36] thats correct. it didnt modify it [02:36] ErezCohen: (offtopic) think of the our braille readers, they had to actually touch those two letters! sorry for them. ick. [02:36] some cheap brand i got a best buy lol - rocketfish ergo - its a 2.4ghz wireless laser - model no. rf-mse14 [02:37] Jordan_U: okay. it would answer what I had in mind if you could explain where grub legacy puts the stuff when the user specifies 'root (hdX, Y)' [02:37] I have XP. How else would I run photoshop if I wanted to, or skype with my webcam, or deal with an antivirus program, or compare font-goodness, or use a version of Picasa that works. (but I havent been there in months) [02:37] jenkinSear: how would i reinstall my nvidia drivers? [02:37] LOL [02:37] the software it came with is windows only, no linux support [02:37] tripelb: picasa works fine in linux btw.. it's a hellish mix of wine but it works [02:37] Help me, please :) [02:37] wow, tripe, so many good thinks in linux exceed what you are keeping ecks pea for [02:37] Jordan_U just the gist of it, to keep it short :-) [02:37] thinks = things [02:37] if u really need to run photoshop, use MAC!!! :-) [02:38] Can somebody help me with a linux question? [02:38] any way, serious question....any admins over here? i really need help [02:38] tripelb: photoshop cs5 runs pretty decent for me in wine. [02:38] 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.

[02:43] caio : GOT* [02:43] gonzalo: are you running 11.04 now?

Does that mean I'm using proprietary or default? [02:43] To burn a dvd [02:43] how do i do that [02:43] gonzalo, it could be looking for a diffrent version of libx11, you're running the ./configure with sudo or under root correct? [02:44] try switching to ubuntu classic at log in and try to play with your program [02:44] No one about my problem :-( === bsale is now known as floyxa [02:44] calamari: I will love you forever plz tell me how [02:44] WindowNumOne: patience, I'm looking [02:44] laterallink: I was doing it without sudo, I'll try with sudo now [02:44] WindowNumOne: with brasero [02:44] i know i've had a few problems with a few programs not liking the new unity system [02:44] It don't work with brasero either [02:44] By the way, I've been trying to upgrade my ubuntu box from 10.10 to 11.04. [02:44] QUESTION:how to stop the ubuntuone-syncdaemon process, because i don't need that as i have poor internet connection and it eats like 25 mb of ram, [02:45] How do I make rsync back up Truecrypt files incrementally. As of now, it rewrites the file completely. [02:45] WindowNumOne: try gnomebaker, it's alwys burned ISO's just fine for me [02:45] openbees : what msg?? [02:45] I tried that prog, it gives error im not sure if it says anything about not having permission [02:45] thauriswulfa: uninstall ubuntu-one [02:45] It still have problem during the job. What's the matter there? [02:45] is xorg.conf still here: etc/X11/xorg.conf ? Mine is empty ... [02:45] I tried that too KM0201 [02:45] WindowNumOne: if all those programs are failing, you have some other malfunction going on there [02:45] WindowNumOne: it's in your preferences or admin under users and groups [02:45] The error message was " package downloading time is expired" . [02:46] 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.

[02:48] 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] 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] Jordan_U: that would mean grub legacy needs to know how to read the from the filesystem on (hdX, Y) [02:48] 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] dijonyummy: usually not much difference [02:48] ChapterNZ: it does show on the envelope [02:48] openbees : Have one title called theme [02:48] nawk: Yes. [02:48] dijonyummy: they might resolve dependencies differenly [02:48] openbees : sorry [02:48] gonzalo: why are you trying to install a program called ROOT? [02:48] i want to script installing all the packages i use, for stuff like example... 11.04 [02:48] xangua: I've removed the icon [02:49] 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] xangua: indicator-messages is the package i removed (I hate the little envelope) [02:49] 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] 11.04 that is [02:49] gonzalo: regardless, you need to sudo apt-get install build-essentials if you plan do any sort of serious compiling and installing. [02:49] i dont think apt-get installs icons [02:50] Hello? is there anyone who can support me with the install problem on the newest computer? [02:50] HyperShock: ok, I'll install that [02:50] dijonyummy: to get a list of packages in some sort of installed or not fully uninstalled state, use dpkg -l [02:50] :calamari i'm sorry but I still dont really understand [02:50] Hello, is ANYBODY else having problems with dbus-deamon sucking up 30%+ cpu usage? [02:50] I was able to burn a cd ISO but when it comes to DVDS im screwed [02:50] WindowNumOne: sorry, I'm not running Gnome.. ask for help on how to get to the Users and Groups settings [02:50] openbees : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WXoU3O0vgs [02:51] Is it normal for xorg.conf to be empty? [02:51] Ok I was under user and groups [02:51] What was I supposed to do there [02:51] HyperShock: E: Unable to locate package build-essentials [02:51] WindowNumOne: then go to groups [02:51] 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] DVI-D recognition trouble during the first step of installing. [02:51] what are good themes [02:51] for ubuntu [02:51] ? [02:51] gonzalo: let me double check what they are calling it now [02:51] And select what under groups [02:51] WindowNumOne: you should have a cdrom group [02:51] openbees : sorry, but not called theme, but local [02:51] lilstevie: yes [02:51] HyperShock: the official page of the ROOT software is at root.cern.ch [02:51] codex84: google gnome look [02:52] hm. Seems that once I install the applet (the deb) and type in its name, then it appears on the panel... [02:52] xangua, was that "yes" meant for me? [02:52] openbees : i do confusion =D [02:52] gonzalo: my bad, i added an 's'. do sudo apt-get install build-essential [02:52] 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] WindowNumOne: is there a cdrom group? [02:52] 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] this startup-manager problem relates to natty [02:52] caio : i appriciate ur effort but the video was for ubuntu 9.10 ..... [02:52] gonzalo: yep, just expressing my concerns over the name of the program [02:52] LESSON OF THE DAY: Dont ever ever upgrade your ubuntu to 11.04 [02:53] HyperShock: build-essential is already the newest version. (thanks for your help, by the way) [02:53] frybye: because there is no 'startup-manager' , there is 'startupmanager' [02:53] Viking667: can you define "type in its name" [02:53] Artarian: Please stop that. [02:53] Artarian: lol, what makes you say that [02:53] HyperShock: he's trolling [02:53] 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] Artarian: actually, once I cured the two or three errors I did have, it was good to go. [02:53] openbees : what your ubuntu?? [02:53] calamari: is there no one to ban him? [02:53] !ban [02:53] 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] No Ban [02:53] !vote [02:54] HyperShock: There is. [02:54] anyone able to offer troubleshooting advice on archive manager (file roller) in regard to CBR files, they open but cannot extract the internal files. worked fine in 10.10 [02:54] ChapterNZ: ahh, sorry. Unity. Click on the startgear thing, huge window pops up with all the applications listed, and a searchbox at the top [02:54] lol? [02:54] caio : changing gdm theme using login window is disabled by ubuntu team since 10.04 release....i am using 11.04 so wanna know if any new way to change gdm llogin screen [02:54] WindowNumOne: then that is fine the way it is, don't change it [02:54] WindowNumOne: is there a dvd group or cdrw or something liek that? [02:54] Viking667: Ahhh right! And after you do that it "sometimes" shows the icon in the indicator ? [02:55] "sometimes"? [02:55] 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] Shoot Calamari can I use a live cd to boot up then accesss my files and try burning a cd like that [02:55] Viking667: all the time? [02:55] oh yeah I will need my cd in it .lol [02:55] HyperShock: Is there any way to make the configure file recognize my libX11 package? [02:55] WindowNumOne: doubt it unless you hgave more than one cd drive [02:55] Viking667: (unfortunately never for me haha) [02:55] hang on. I'll log out, log in - then I'll see if the indicators load THEN. [02:55] Wait I think I do have extra cdrom [02:55] why does the network manager applet not have the up/down arrows for a direct connection in natty? [02:55] openbees : sorry [02:55] No CDR or DVD group [02:55] sorry - won't exactly cure the Ubuntu One program's problam. [02:55] lem [02:55] caio : it was so simple to change gdm in 9.10 ....its out of my imagination that way developers disabled this features [02:56] 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? [02:56] Jordan_U: that way, once grub legacy verifies that the stage files exists on 'Y', then it can identify the real location of where on the disk to read after it finish reading the first 440 bytes of the mbr. [02:56] Dear #ubuntu, after running the nvidia installation script from the commandline and restarting my system, Additional Drivers informs me that nvidia_current is "activated but not currently in use." how2fix plz [02:56] caio : no dear its ok ..no need for sorry...we all hear for something to learn...and u got a lesson too [02:57] Help with rsync and Truecryot files?

[02:58] isarl, none - but you aren't the only one [02:58] mister_m: thanks anyway. [02:59] s/applet/indicator/ [02:59] gonzalo: PM me [02:59] HyperShock: 11.04 [02:59] isarl, I was going to try removing it, and adding it again [02:59] WindowNumOne: actually, wait a sec.. I have an idea [02:59] I am trying to install 11.04 on my Asus G51J laptop. There are definitely some problems. The splash screen shows, but afterward my screen is only showing black and white bars. Anybody know what is going on or how to work around this? [02:59] Calamari I am using anything and everything, I think I have every burning program, but I usually try KB3 or basero [02:59] fisix: the icon for network manager/applet, is set by the theme. [02:59] HyperShock: How do I PM you? [02:59] openbees : have you installed ubuntu-tweak ? [02:59] WindowNumOne: do you know the name of your cd device.. like /dev/... ?

Key is verified working from my phone [03:00] the cd is under burn:/// [03:01] hooray, another kernel panic. =/ [03:01] WindowNumOne: okay that's not right but I'm going to take a guess.. open a console and type ls /dev/sg* [03:01] I'll forget about the indicators, but I really want Ubuntu One working, so I can evaluate the silly thing properly... [03:01] I am trying to install 11.04 on my Asus G51J laptop. There are definitely some problems. The splash screen shows, but afterward my screen is only showing black and white bars.

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] calamari: That's not even close to true. [03:09] Hello?

[03:11] joeyeye : thanks but i am using classic since very next hour of 11.04 installation lolz [03:11] calamari: classic GNOME desktop == gnome-panel [03:11] calamari: We're still a GNOME distribution [03:11] calamari: Because GNOME has moved on to Gnome Shell, not because of any argument. [03:11] 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] WindowNumOne: just look in the list and find the info, no need to paste it [03:12] calamari: We use GNOME rechnologies, GTK applications [03:12] that doesnt mean its not gona have Gnome3 tho calamari [03:12] KM0201: there is. see /msg ubottu !classic [03:12] IdleOne: thanks. [03:12] 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.

I am glad to hear that I am wrong about Gnome in 11.10 [03:14] Steela: I think you highlighted it and middle clicked, that happens to me too sometimes. [03:14] Jordan_U: and with konversation how do i do this change? [03:14] frybye: Race conditions are by their nature not always reproduceable.

[03:17] Steela: all I wanted to know was the name of your cd device .. it is probably /dev/sg0 .. lets just guess [03:17] cloud9: sudo apt-get install googleearth-package [03:17] I dunno! [03:17] brous-kee: Changing option GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" in /etc/default/grub doesn't effect in natty. [03:17] Omega, yeah, that's what you _want_ us to think :P j/k [03:18] is google earth in the repos now? [03:18] !info googleearth [03:18] Package googleearth does not exist in natty [03:18] Steela: pastebin this: ls -l /dev/sg* /dev/sr* [03:18] !info googleearth-package [03:18] googleearth-package (source: googleearth-package): utility to automatically build a Debian package of Google Earth.

[03:22] 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] 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] karthick87: Did you run "sudo update-grub" after making changes to /etc/default/grub ? [03:22] Steela: if you run "sudo k3b" you should probably be able to burn [03:22] Guest94632, check out iwconfig as well [03:22] Jordan_U: Yes [03:23] thats when I put in a CD look what happens when I type mount after putting in DVD [03:23] calamari: i can't imagine a situation where any burning utility, would need sudo. [03:23] karthick87: Can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub and your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [03:23] Guest94632, also make sure the card is enabled in BIOS [03:23] Anyone else experiencing the Applications menu freezing up every once in a while?

(See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [03:23] KM0201: it told him permission denied.. I used to get that all the time until I got my permissions sorted out [03:23] Jordan_U: Sure wait a min [03:24] KM0201: but if he just needs to burn something he can use sudo and get it done [03:24] Guest94632, Network Manager should do the rest. [03:24] 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] 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] KM0201: it's not the right solution, but i can get him going in a crunch === jason is now known as Guest17770 [03:25] Man I thought ubuntu was light weight. It runs really slow compared to win 7 [03:25] Guest94632, ifconfig to find your card; ifconfig [card] up [03:25] Calamari http://pastebin.com/ixwprTBh [03:25] 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] this is on my laptop and the wireless is not coming up when I press the button [03:25] ok [03:25] i will try that [03:26] Guest94632, but it sounds like there's something going on with that driver, because it should bring itself up automatically [03:26] what is sudo K3b going to do [03:26] Steela: did "sudo k3b" work to burn your cd? [03:26] I already tried to burn over a thousand times using k3b! [03:26] Steela: it'll run it as root [03:26] calamari: Please stop suggesting the use of sudo with graphical programs. [03:26] is there a command for search? [03:26] litropy, i guess i could uninstall and reinstall... [03:26] !gksudo | calamari [03:27] [the driver] === necromancer`bzy is now known as necromancer [03:27] Ok lets see this [03:27] Jordan_U: if you wnt to take over and help him, go ahead [03:27] Jordan_U: there is nothing wrong with using sudo to run a program [03:27] Hi all, although Alternative Drivers says my nvidia-current is "activated but not currently in use", glxinfo and glxgears seem to suggest that it actually is. My problem: "Detect monitors" is not showing my second monitor. [03:27] Guest94632, yeah, that's an option. [03:27] calamari: actually... [03:28] calamari: Read the link from ubottu. It could lead to Steela no longer being able to log in. [03:28] Jordan_U: and I haven't kept up on the grpahical sudo of the week [03:28] Steela: Do *not* run "sudo k3b".

I guess I never thought about that.. if .ICE got messed up I'd just fix it [03:31] well good to know I guess [03:32] Steela: I guess your command now would be gksudo k3b [03:32] Steela: Are you using Ubuntu 11.04? [03:32] Can anyone help me with an upgrading problem> [03:33] ? [03:33] I'm looking for a file manager program that when copying a file from one system to another, it gives the transfer rate. I have tried Thunar and PCManFM 0.9.7. What other options are there? I am running Crunchbang which is why I do not have naudiaus(sp?) and am on a netbook so I prefer to stay away from resource hogs. [03:33] calamari: of course, the issue becomes, if someone doesn't know how to fix it [03:33] How do I ADD workspaces to the four that exist from the Unity workspace switcher? [03:33] !ask | Darren [03:33] Darren: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:34] killer_: only ubuntu support here [03:34] Viking667: in ccsm under general options on the desktop tab [03:34] wdbl: I was thinking about that the other day ... actually with /usr/src. if a regular user had write access to /usr/src.. a malicious user could fill up the partition /usr . I don't know if that is THE answer, but just a possibility [03:35] Why is it that after i have upgraded, the backlight doesnt turn on? === oneliner_ is now known as oneliner [03:35] roger. Can someone verify naudiaus has the transfer rate? An example of such is with any Windows where there is a rate of 11.7 mb / sec (or whatever values depending on cpu usage/network/etc) [03:35] hm. CCSM being ... the compizconfig? [03:35] calamari: thanks, I didn't think about that. I think I will just make a src directory in my home. [03:36] we'll see what happens I guess [03:36] Viking667: yes compizconfig-settings-manager [03:36] dumb question but how to I turn off the disappearing slider feature for gtk apps? [03:36] wdbl: if it's just your system you could also change the permissions [03:36] Calami [03:36] looking there now... [03:36] killer_: /join #crunchbang [03:37] THANK you. I was looking in the wrong places. [03:37] anybody tell me what the 'omitting directory' error is caused by when attempting to use a cp command? [03:37] hello, I want to start my ubuntu on console mode how may I do this ? I mean not in gdm and when I want to start the X doing it by console. [03:37] calamari: I guess I'm just wondering what the best practice is. I don't do any coding on *nix ever. [03:37] * Viking667 ticks another thing off his list [03:37] MoleMan: it means it detected a directory and you didn't use -R [03:37] I have this something about error , then it said try "TAO" the error was a number but I didnt get it [03:37] MoleMan: cp will only copy directories if given the '-r' option. [03:37] now, how do I actually change DESKTOPs, not virtual spaces? [03:37] Jordan_U: thanks [03:38] uhh crap [03:38] wdbl: I'm not sure either [03:38] MoleMan: You're welcome. [03:38] is my backlight not turning on due to a kernel bug? [03:38] I think I might have deleted my trash [03:38] Can someone explain Unity. I don't understand what it is. I use ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop and I don't think it's there. After looking at screenshots, it appears to be a fancy speed list to open applications. Is there more to it? [03:38] 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] like, the trash "folder" itself [03:38] I did "sudo rm -r /home/userID/.local/share/Trash/" [03:38] >_< [03:38] calamari: so, /usr/local/src is better [03:39] is there some particular reason why this ubuntu installer is telling me i need 4.4 gb of hard disk space when the boot disk is only something like 600mb [03:39] well i finally found out whats been going on with my Natty, it was the graphics driver, problem is i have it but dont know how to activate it, it just says its not in use what do i do? [03:39] Grrr system bell isn't working anyone have any idea why? [03:39] wdbl: cool then. I just hacked mine with chown username.username /usr/src .. defininely not the best practice but it worked for me :) [03:39] because this is an old asus netbook and it only has 2 gb of hdd [03:39] ello? [03:39] bromide_bro: The CD is compressed. [03:39] Grrr system bell isn't working anyone have any idea why? [03:39] Calami I think I know what wrong when I typed sudo k3b I got this long message want to see [03:39] bromide_bro: and the deb packages expand to bigger than 600Mb when uncompressed [03:40] Steela: ok [03:40] why is my backlight not turning on in 11.04? [03:40] http://pastebin.com/xX1v565f [03:40] really... i wonder what the heck they added that makes the new install so huge [03:40] bromide_bro: The space requirement hasn't changed. [03:40] bromide_bro: what's on the CDROM is a single compressed filesystem, and the contents (usually) gets copied over uncompressed. [03:40] at any rate, i guess i can't install 11.04 on this netbook [03:40] Steela: I thought I said to use gksudo because they corrected me.. guess you missed it [03:41] Steela: but still.. the program should have loaded === Ttech is now known as The_Doctor [03:41] jordan_u: it must have; i've had more than enough disk space to install ubuntu on this netbook before [03:41] bromide_bro: How big is your hard drive? [03:41] 2gb [03:42] want me to re try [03:42] so "gksudo k3b" then burn to iso [03:42] Steela: well did k3b load ? [03:42] it loaded last time [03:42] 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] Bib laden dead [03:42] 8 inches [03:42] Thank you, Ubuntu Community, and thanks to HyperShock! [03:42] Steela: did it work to burn? [03:42] 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] Last version was 10.10 [03:43] Help room--What program can I use to open a DOS executable file to change some parameters? [03:43] it still didnt work it gave me that message about klauncher when i looked back in terminal [03:43] NO [03:43] Steela: so it still complained about permissions [03:43] i definitely only installed the netbook versions [03:43] !ot | Guest17770 [03:43] Guest17770: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[03:43] it's a shame they discontinued that line (did they?) [03:43] It was a number [03:43] ... not without a hex editor. And that's not covered by Ubuntu support. [03:43] Steela: oh cool.. guess k3b got smarter since the lasty time I tried that hack.. lol [03:44] Viking: Hrmm, what about a PC program in Wine to do the edit? [03:44] Steela: I want to see it here, 1 min [03:44] could anyone help me solve the problem of my Virtual Terminals not working? If I do ctrl+alt+F1 i get a black screen and then the only way I can get back to my screen is by doing ctrl+alt+F8 [03:44] Hey usually I install msttcorefonts but apparently in natty there's only ttf-mscorefonts-installer and it's already insatalled yet reddit fonts look pretty different. any ideas? [03:44] anyone know why I can't turn on the system bell, and how to get sliders visible in gtk2 apps? [03:45] Hey guys, Brasero's giving me a bit of trouble. It's asking for two packages, "mplex" and "dvdauthor". The problem is, they don't seem to exist. What alternatives do I have, or what server are the packages on? [03:45] kill [03:45] er [03:45] i'll try netbook edition 10.10, then [03:45] hey guys I know this is an ubuntu room, but Osama Bin Laden has been caught and he is dead [03:45] Steela: stop that [03:45] Steela: so it gives the warning and lets you close the warning. does it then let you burn? [03:45] Steela: who? [03:45] _Neytiri_: open users and groups, then select user, then select advanced button, then in popped up windows, hit 'advanced' tab, tell the new directory there [03:45] Sorry, I just heard it on CNN [03:46] it some big news [03:46] <_Neytiri_> HyperShock, i am runung CLI only [03:46] hats off to the devs. I just got Natty running and just wanted to come and say thanks to all involved in unity and natty's dev.

Mplex and Dvdauthor [03:47] Theres only one version of 11.04 I think isnt there [03:47] ^Phantom^, they're just checking to make sure you arent' a bot [03:48] and the netbook edition has been discontinued [03:48] <^Phantom^> hidn_shadows, ah [03:48] calami please [03:48] <^Phantom^> i had to restart [03:48] how can i make more desktops on ubuntu 11.04?

I'm not sure that you can set a specific amount. [05:20] well, maybe you forgot [05:20] 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] I just didn't know how to do this :p [05:20] <_genuser_> hello people. [05:20] DrMax: more like i just didn't think about mentioningi t [05:20] ok, so grub seem to have found my previously installed kernel [05:20] taglass i ment in order to have the compix cube working [05:20] <_genuser_> can you not upgrade to the latest one shot?

[05:20] furous: I did encounter problems during the upgrade, and ended up doing a clean install which worked out fine for me. [05:20] I should be able to boot from an older kernel [05:21] furous: I looked it up, and your graphics card is supported. [05:21] what did you upgrade from/to the first time? [05:21] furous: what's your issue sorry wasn't paing attention [05:21] _genuser_: what version did you start out on when upgrading [05:21] celthunder: furous is getting and error when he logs in that Unity can't start in this session.

[05:59] F5 [06:00] Hello all. Anyone know where Gnome stores the menu items in the Applications menu? === zz_eagles0513875 is now known as eagles0513875 [06:00] oh no wonder, it's 'under' the stop button [06:01] I installed gufw and ALLOW port 22 IN from Anywhere. I opened up the router for port 22. When I ssh localhost the message is: ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused. [06:02] stercor: hosts.allow sshd: ALL: ALL [06:02] actually how do i get t0 the c drive in wine on ubuntu 11.4 [06:02] ?? [06:02] celthunder: where? [06:02] so i should focus on Xauthority as being the problem? [06:02] after editing a .conf, do i need to chmod or anything like that to activate those changes. im trying to enable the intel drivers on a 82852/855 video card on maverick. do i need to and may it cause system instability [06:02] furous: what's your file permissions can you pastebin ls -al ~ please as your user [06:03] celthunder, what executable should i run? there is nothing other than the service...

[06:05] glaceman: somewhere on somenetwork yes [06:06] celthunder: any specific server in mind maybe ? [06:06] celthunder: all i know is irc.ubuntu.com [06:06] celthunder, nmcli: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so.1d: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [06:06] celthunder, this was the problem [06:06] ah well. Finally got Ubuntu One working, though not without having to kick up a browser first. [06:06] d4gg3r: so install the libraries networkmanager relies on [06:06] o0k that said it was a directory [06:07] i.e. add libnss3 [06:07] celthunder, it is odd that ubuntu does not install it by itself [06:07] You might want libnspr4 in addition [06:08] d4gg3r: ? why should it? [06:08] * Viking667 blinks... [06:08] celthunder: I added ssh: ALL: ALL and sshd: ALL: ALL No change. still refuses the connection. === Rehan_ is now known as Rehan [06:08] hmmmm. Could I submit a bug report? Heh... [06:08] celthunder, because it installs one package by default, without its dependencies? === Rehan is now known as Rehan_ [06:09] celthunder, it should work on a fresh installation [06:09] other hidden files in the home directory seem to have read and write permissins too... [06:09] Viking667: what's the bug? [06:09] furous: ok === Rehan_ is now known as Rehan [06:09] stercor, did you install ssh server? is it running "ps aux | grep ssh"? [06:09] stercor umm you may have to parse the PAM configs for those === Rehan is now known as rehan [06:10] d4gg3r: blame the package manager and just becauase YOU need those libraries doesn't mean everyone else wants them [06:10] ZykoticK9: Another thing to look at :-) [06:10] brous-kee: That's over my head. [06:10] celthunder, network manager is not something that I only want! [06:10] celthunder sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware ~/Desktop/wl_apsta.o returns command not recognised [06:10] When starting up Ubuntu ONE for the first time, it tells me I need an internet connection to use it. Does'nt allow me to click on anpthing else except the website... i.e. I can't click on the "I already have an account" lisk. [06:10] Updated from Update manager. Restarted and now after grub boots im stuck on a screen that has *stopping automatic crash report generation [06:10] link [06:10] does it matter what permissions the group has if the owner has read and write? [06:11] furous: no [06:11] Viking667: yeah sounds like a bug to me [06:11] Viking667, there is an Ubuntu One channel... probably #ubuntuone (but i didn't check) [06:11] celthunder: /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session [06:11] hmm How do I disable the stupid auto-maximizing of windows whenever I place a window near a screen edge? [06:11] d4gg3r: i didn't say that [06:11] from my understanding the intel 82852 is blacklisted and i need to edit the x11/xorg.conf to reenable them. anyone know how, or after i edit the file, do i need to chmod or anything to activate my changes [06:12] binox: why are you editting xorg to blacklist/unblacklist modules? [06:12] well, I found that if I ran "u1sdtool -c" I could connect... finally... [06:12] binox: /etc/modprobe.d [06:13] i created /etc/x11/xorg.conf and entered this. Section "Device" [06:13] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [06:13] Driver "intel" [06:13] EndSection [06:13] Section "Monitor" [06:13] Identifier "Configured Monitor" [06:13] binox: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:13] now I'm happy. But I think the text is misleading, so's the inability to click on the "I already have an account" [06:13] heyhow would i make byobu terminal my default terminal so when i push ctrl alt t it will open that instead of the regular one [06:14] woops [06:14] hey, any thoughts what might be the problem; updgraded to natty and a game I could play flawlessly before (xmoto) lags quite a lot now [06:14] daniel_: what wm/de [06:14] oh, on xubuntu btw [06:14] celthunder, ? [06:15] daniel_: window manager/desktop environment you're using? [06:15] celthunder: i thought that is what i needed to do since maverick ships with those drivers to not install [06:15] Is it possible to start programs before gdm? I'd like to start redshift before gdm starts so that my login screen is more gentle on the eyes at night [06:15] celthunder, im running 11.04 out of the box i think untiy?

How do I change the number of workspaces? [06:46] richiefrich: Well I just started using linux ubuntu recently, so far it is nice. I used OSX cause my mom is a big OSX fan I don't know must be a woman thing [06:46] _genuser_: i know i can bnlock it but i am used to emerge not apt-get [06:46] daniel_ and install b43-fwcutter [06:46] Is anyone else experience a bug where text that compiz should be displaying is missing? e.g when alt-tabbing the window title should be disabled. I have two machines freshly upgraded to 11.04 with this bug [06:46] *displayed [06:46] daniel_ go to additional drivers and activate them< if it not activation [06:47] <_genuser_> my the rain storm is kicking my internet in/out.

Any help would be wonderful thank you. [06:47] richiefrich, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:47] tmp__, ok i did everything u said and it says its activated [06:48] daniel_ your version of linux? [06:48] tmp__, ubuntu 11.04 natty [06:48] daniel_ i dont know, it may not work in natty [06:48] Could anyone running 11.04 please alt-tab and tell me if the window titles are appearing in the app switcher correctly? [06:49] I have three machines doing it and I would like to know its not just me [06:49] tmp__, i hate natty :( [06:49] daniel_ see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [06:49] I am a bit new to unity (it didn't run well on my netbook in the last release, but it does now) I have a few questions about it to help me get it set up . first off, I was able to swap banshee for rhythmbox in the sound meenu, but i am having trouble accomplishing the same effect with empathy/pidgin in the messaging menu. can anyone help me to do this? [06:50] can anyone tell me how to reset my "panel" in terminal? [06:50] i cant see my applications menu or anything [06:50] <_genuser_> cmdbbq: in the new toolbar? [06:50] daniel_ and you may to try sta driver [06:50] !panels | thelorax [06:50] thelorax: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [06:50] <_genuser_> cmdbbq: just drag the thing you want off, off ot the side till is shows you X. it will remove it. [06:50] richiefrich: Fuck Unity. Godamnit why is Ubuntu starting to suck! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [06:51] hi ever one [06:51] <_genuser_> the main thing with unity on a netbook is it's trying to command 1" of a 10" screen. don't care what the devs were thinking, they were wrong. [06:51] how do i get Natty to stop loading in the top left? [06:51] eiriksvin: hmm? how do you mean? [06:52] _genuser_: i am speaking of the revamped notification are, and my side panel autohides or else it would have been a dealbreaker [06:52] all the programs load in the top left, and the new natty bar keeps dissappearing, i want to change those 2 thing [06:52] so no way to block unity? [06:53] <_genuser_> cmdbbq: that's why I'm upgradin to autohide the sidepanel. [06:53] hmm [06:53] <_genuser_> cmdbbq: don't even know about the revamp on the auto notification area. [06:53] thelorax@ubuntu:~$ gconftool--recursive-unset/apps/panel&&killall gnome-panel [06:53] bash: gconftool--recursive-unset/apps/panel: No such file or directory [06:53] thelorax@ubuntu:~$ [06:53] richiefrich, choose classic at the login window [06:53] ? am i typing it wrong? [06:53] i want everything to load in the center, and i want the natty bar to stay there, how to i fix that? [06:54] I think there is a bug with alt-tab in 11.04? Could someone please press alt-tab and confirm it for me? [06:54] The titles of the windows should be displayed [06:54] but they're not [06:54] eiriksvin:are you having problems seeing your topbar? [06:54] <_genuser_> richiefrich: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6302/how-can-you-remove-unity [06:54] rage: titles displayed where? [06:54] yep im having same problem w/ rage [06:55] <_genuser_> richiefrich: haven't tried that yet. STill upgrading to 11.04. [06:55] Viking667: The window title should be displayed immediately under the selected application when you alt tab [06:55] Wireless was working fine in 10.10, now it's not in 11.04 [06:55] I have the STA drivers installed. [06:55] ahh, no i don't get that either. [06:55] rage:can you see your top menu bar? [06:55] I get the icon for the application showing on the snapshot window though... [06:55] thelorax: I'm not running unity [06:55] try switching an app to another workspace then alt tab [06:55] Oh. I am. [06:55] sorry... [06:56] Viking667: So you are getting the title? [06:56] rage: which application switcher are you using? [06:56] Viking667: Static application switcher [06:56] ANd I'm using Unity, I don't get the title of the window. [06:56] Viking667: However the problem is compiz wide [06:56] ahhhhh. I'm not using static. I can start it up and try that out. [06:56] brb [06:56] thelorax, are you using 11.04? [06:56] ah huh. [06:56] 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 [06:57] Viking667: All of compiz seems incapable of display text [06:57] Checked your theme? [06:57] thelorax, disregard the !panel factoid then! [06:57] ZykoticK9: yeah i just upgraded from 10.0 or whatever [06:57] Viking667: I have two vanilla machines display these symptoms. One ati the other nvidia [06:58] 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] thelorax, welcome to unity ;) [06:58] Viking667: I'm hoping its not just me who has this bug [06:59] Viking667: So Compiz text display okay for you? [06:59] Yup. I can concur that with the "Static application switcher" I don't see titles either. [06:59] Viking667: Okay, phew, [06:59] ATI card, HD3450 [06:59] _genuser_: yeah [06:59] ... if we're talking about the snapshots [06:59] _genuser_: one last thing, if you know [06:59] Viking667: Yeah, its very annoying. I use Scale Window Title filter frequently, its nearly useless if you cant see any text [06:59] _genuser_: how can i get it to stop asking me if i wanna upgrade [07:00] _genuser_: i dont see that in cron [07:00] 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] i dont want to click yes on accident [07:00] thelorax, i repeat - welcome to unity. I've stopped using Ubuntu because of Unity myself. Good luck. [07:01] what do you use now? [07:01] i dont want to go back to windows [07:01] why does plugging in my ethernet cord not change the wifi icon in the indicator applet panel? [07:01] thelorax, debian / trisquel [07:01] fisix: why should it? [07:01] richiefrich. Do u see ? Don't Upgrade, Ask later, Upgrade [07:01] Viking667, it used to change to an up/down arrow [07:02] Viking667, after updating to 11.04 with classic gnome, it does not [07:02] Garry: i see that, but i mean i dont even want it to ask [07:02] ZykoticK9:how do i switch without altering my files on ubuntu? is that possible? [07:02] oh. Then I apologise. I thought it'd not change because it's wireless, and you'd plugged in a wired link. [07:02] 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] like ever [07:02] oh i know [07:02] thelorax, have you tried "Classic Mode" from the GDM screen? [07:02] 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.... [07:03] 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] 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. [07:04] Viking667, oh haha that's alright. any idea on wat to do? [07:04] _genuser_: chmod 0 /usr/bin/apt-get /usr/bin/aptitude-curses ; chattr +ai /usr/bin/apt-get /usr/bin/aptitude-curses [07:04] _genuser_: i fixed it [07:04] ZykoticK9: GMD screen? [07:04] Viking667 so i should sty on main server? [07:04] anyone here using GrSecurity kernel patch ? [07:05] <_genuser_> richiefrich: lol. There's the Startup Application Preferences. That has a line saying Update Notifier, you can uncheck that too. [07:05] _genuser_: i will fix it on my own, like that :P [07:05] thelorax, GDM = the login screen, select your user name, then at the bottom click Session [07:05] _genuser_: where is that [07:05] <_genuser_> richiefrich: that fix will work nice too. :) [07:05] ok ill try [07:05] brb [07:05] _genuser_: There's the Startup Application Preferences. ?? [07:05] _genuser_: i see it [07:05] <_genuser_> richiefrich: from unity, Applications -> System -> Startup Application Preferences [07:06] hi ... why ubuntu 11.04 doesn't follow gconf-editor configurations ? [07:06] whats the name of the program i gotta download to stop the launcher from moving and or disappearing? [07:06] aLeSD, ? [07:06] 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] does anybody know why ifconfig shows a connection for eth0 but iwconfig doesn ot? [07:06] nit-wit: I set panel to avant-window-navigator but gnome-panel is still there [07:07] _genuser_: nice [07:07] <_genuser_> fisix: iwconfig shows wireless ones, no? [07:07] nit-wit: I remove the panel entry and gnome-panel is still there [07:07] <_genuser_> richiefrich: you like? :) [07:07] _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] whats the name of the program i gotta download to stop the launcher from moving and or disappearing? [07:08] _genuser_: good luck [07:08] _genuser_: just chaneg from gnome, to like awesome [07:08] 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.... [07:09] _genuser_: use archlinux [07:09] aLeSD, not sure what you have done but here is the installation wiki.http://wiki.awn-project.org/Installation [07:09] it is nice and fast for a netbook [07:09] _genuser_, yeah the wireless is shown [07:09] aLeSD, I have never used awn sorry, [07:10] nit-wit: thanks anyway [07:10] <_genuser_> richiefrich: would be fun those to install gentoo using distcc with a faster one around. :) [07:11] hey guys have acer 5742G and everything working just great but the internal mic is not working [07:11] it is detected by aplay [07:11] so unity any good? are people staying with gnome? [07:12] ZykoticK9: THANK YOU! it worked! [07:12] richiefrich. Have sorted to disable upgrade option yet? [07:12] drhe1skt: Staying with Gnome here. [07:12] _genuser_: install it in a chroot on the main box and then just rsync it. I mean use sys-devel/crossdev [07:12] ZykoticK9: classic mode homie [07:12] Garry: yes ty [07:12] thelorax, glad to help [07:13] 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] rage, did you check out unity though? [07:13] <_genuser_> richiefrich: cool idea [07:13] _genuser_: trye [07:13] true [07:13] celthunder : still there? [07:13] drhe1skt: Still using it on my main desktop. [07:14] 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] drhe1skt: I'll give it another go when 12.04 LTS comes out, hopefully the bugs will be sorted by then [07:15] Hi all. [07:15] yo [07:16] What version of Firefox uses Ubuntu 10.04 LTS? (sorry for my English) [07:16] _genuser_: only thing i would like on this is FF4 [07:16] _genuser_: but i can install that manually [07:16] _genuser_: since i diabled apt-get [07:17] <_genuser_> richiefrich: FF4 is out already? [07:17] 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] _genuser_: it might be in beta [07:18] _genuser_, FF4 is awesome if you ask me? [07:18] 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. [07:19] <_genuser_> but FF is pretty cool in what it does. it has definitely beat chromium into it's place [07:19] what the hell would someone use IE for [07:19] you like zeus? [07:19] htek, Exactly. [07:20] <_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] _genuser_: why IE? most people hate it === Logan_ is now known as thebadcushion [07:20] 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. [07:21] <_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] -genuser: this is not a place to make windows slogan.Pls leave this place for Ubuntu lovers [07:22] <_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] 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? === lance is now known as Guest61636 [07:22] my nfs mount (still recovering from upgrade to 11.04) shows all file owners as 4294967294 (-2) [07:22] how do I fix this?

[07:32] ...thought i've done it once, but cannot remember how [07:32] what panel are you using [07:32] richiefrich: the unity thing [07:32] oh then idk [07:32] i dont think you can move things around [07:33] at this time, could be wrong [07:33] 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] you used to be able to right click [07:33] richiefrich: pretty sure i did [07:33] alokar - try this - http://bit.ly/knlNcZ [07:33] richiefrich: I think you're mostly right, you can change some but not all [07:33] KNUBBIG: yeah you cant even put the launcher on the bottom [07:33] teh richiefrich ish teh failz [07:33] or top [07:33] tbf - do you have Ubuntu Tweak installed [07:33] KNUBBIG: needs to be on the side [07:34] ...but right now right click pans that dock [07:34] kezzawd: wtf... ubuntu also comes with such mess now? [07:34] are we back at windows 95? [07:34] (with it's infamous tweak ui) [07:34] win 3.1! [07:34] I think there was something you could do but I can't find it anymore [07:34] tbf - if you have Ubuntu Tweak then make sure you have show desktop icons checked [07:34] !enter | tbf [07:34] tbf: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:35] that will stop right-click on desktop if not checked [07:35] 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 [07:36] tbf you can re-arrange all launchers by dragging them off and then replacing them where you want [07:36] 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] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:37] kezzawd: "dragging off".... hmm.... let's see [07:37] kezzawd: woot? Since when can I drag the launcher icons? [07:37] xion56: Please put this question in a Linux Mint channel. This is #ubuntu. [07:37] kezzawd: lol thanks [07:37] KNUBBIG my pleasure [07:37] I can use compiz and some docky in XFCE? [07:37] kezzawd: that was the trick! thanks alot! [07:38] bullgard4: I have tried there, I figured if here people can help as its based in ubuntu [07:38] Josesordo, i was just looking at http://www.ghacks.net/2010/07/11/run-compiz-with-xfce4/ [07:38] so now i only have to figure out how to edit launchers, unity imported from gnome shell. have one with horribly upscaled icon. [07:39] ZykoticK9, xfce4 is with xubuntu 11.04? [07:39] well, alternative: how do i add custom launchers (without pre-installed .desktop file) [07:39] Josesordo, ? [07:39] tbf - try right-click to remove launcher, then open the application and pin the launcher again ? [07:40] kezzawd: don't have a desktop file for this app... but let's try [07:40] ZykoticK9, its ok.. google answered me xD [07:41] hi is theere a " all in one codec pack"? [07:41] kezzawd: no, that's the wrong instance [07:41] bear_: ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:42] 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] bear_: No. [07:42] kezzawd: (not surprisingly) took the app it found in path (or however) - not the shell script [07:42] tbf: lol switch to xface :P [07:43] XFCE [07:43] i mean [07:43] anybody knows why eclipse in the repos is still 3.5 not 3.6? [07:43] tbf - try this thread - half way down - http://bit.ly/msZLwR [07:43] bear_, if u-r-e doesn't have what you're looking for check out w32codec (or w64codec) from Medibuntu [07:43] richiefrich: why? unity is pretty cool. just needs a bit polish. guess we finally have to admit, mark is a visionary [07:43] Umm, just put on ubuntu 11.4, looks OK. where do i get the admin menu from? [07:44] tbf: oh i wasnt a fan [07:44] 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] Is somebody have a problem with iPhone tethering on Ubuntu 11.04? Look's like problem with DHCP server. [07:44] M13up Hit super key then check out the dropdown menu you see to the right [07:45] M13up - take that back sorry - if you get the application 'lens' up then you should see a dropdown menu to the right [07:45] kezzawd: I have shortcuts from super, and a dock on the left. [07:46] kezzawd: is there still a menu for admin tools and another for applications i can access. [07:46] bear_, u-r-e should cover "most" of it [07:47] then what am i missing? [07:47] wow [07:48] unity looks nice [07:48] hm === keefer is now known as Fukkem [07:48] oh [07:48] there are tons of website that has ios app reviews [07:48] is there an app review for linux apps [07:48] what does the vga=795 mean in grub kernel options? === wilson is now known as Guest97754 [07:48] 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 === keefer is now known as Fukkem [07:49] 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] Rehan, vga= is deprecated [07:49] tbf: yeah unity [07:49] tbf: i just switched to another window manager [07:49] 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] 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] 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] 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] linuxuz3r: http://linux.softpedia.com/ [07:50] installed: 91 more results is what it says M13up [07:50] → goodbye F11 fullscreen shortcut, you are redundant now [07:50] 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] Rehan, what version of ubuntu did you find that by default? it's not directly translated to a 795 pixel resolution BTW. [07:50] cmdbbq: yeh but sometimes i want something i can't remeber the name of. [07:50] 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] ZykoticK9: 11.04 [07:50] kezzawd: feared i'd have to manually create a .desktop file. well. ok. [07:51] Rehan, lol figures. [07:51] 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] 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] hello [07:52] <_genuser_> ust shows a black background and nothing. Anybody seen that before and how to fix it? [07:52] bullgard4: i can comment out GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and instead put in GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX ? [07:52] 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] _genuser_ i don't think many of the experienced users in this channel would recommend upgrading ubuntu. [07:52] tbf: for dock read launcher lol (OSX !!!) [07:52] Rehan: I did not implay that. [07:52] Rehan: I did not imply that. [07:52] whats the command to plaay dvds... the ones you get at the store [07:52] 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] libdvdcss2 [07:53] Jordan_U: : i can comment out GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and instead put in GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX ? [07:53] yes, upgrading is a mistake [07:53] 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] kezzawd: thank you [07:53] how do i change name [07:53] <_genuser_> short of install fresh install from 10.10 media/ [07:53] Jordan_U: just cleaning up my grub file that i was editing around [07:53] !downgrade | _genuser_ [07:53] _genuser_: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [07:53] !downgrade | _genuser_ [07:54] hey, the x-chat icon shows when i got pinged on irc... sweet! [07:54] _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] M13up: on the left side dock, it looks like a magnifying glass with an addition sign in the lense [07:54] OK thanks everyone [07:54] <_genuser_> thanks guys. [07:54] _genuser_: There is no "downgrade". You will need to re-install another Ubuntu release. [07:54] Rehan: Then just remove "vga=795" and don't replace it with anything. It shouldn't be needed. [07:55] 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] Rehan: Show a boot animation rather than scrolling text during boot. [07:55] any aidea how to install this? libplds4.so.0d [07:55] ? [07:55] Jordan_U: very informative, thank you. Is quiet the opposite of splash? [07:55] Now that I read it, does the plymouth splash screen thingy still exist in natty? Doesn't seem to work for me [07:55] _genuser_: Yes. A quite common phenomenon. [07:56] Oh god today they killed bin laden !! [07:56] KNUBBIG: doesn't work for me either :) just see a black screen until the login screen [07:56] 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] phonex01, yesterday. [07:56] in my time it is today [07:56] Rehan: No, quiet means to show less messages during boot. They generally go together. [07:56] you can change options search result on the right and select system. [07:56] _genuser_: I know this temptation too. [07:56] 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] Rehan: I see my GRUB background and that's it :) but I think the opposite of splash is nosplash [07:57] how do you go to the desktop/minimize all windows in unity? [07:57] then then a few come up you click system again and the full list will appear. [07:57] 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] hi to all! i just upgraded to 11.04, where i can find the normal/basic/advanced compiz graphics effects? [07:57] !ccsm | MoL0ToV [07:57] 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] 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] !ot | phonex01 [07:57] 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] 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. :) [07:58] ok ok im sorry [07:58] 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] is someone making a natty faq? somthing better than those bot factoids, all in one place? [07:58] that would be handy [07:58] i remember someone did it with lucid [07:58] that was great [07:58] ? [07:58] MoL0ToV: if you install ccsm and not simple-ccsm you also get some options for tweaking unity [07:59] any aidea how to install this? libplds4.so.0d? [07:59] paspro: Be careful. Gwibber is fairly safe. If you mingle it with Twitter/Facebook you will abandon some security. === yofel_ is now known as yofel [07:59] kezzawd: thanks for all your help. i am happy for the moment :-) [07:59] KNUBBIG: this may work for you: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [07:59] KNUBBIG: it didn't work for me though [07:59] tbf: np [07:59] Rehan: yes, it worked vor me in 10.04 and 10.10 but not anymore :( [07:59] I wanna run nm-applet in 11.04, but it didn't work... with this error: nm-applet: error while loading shared libraries: libplds4.so.0d: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [07:59] [08:00] paspro: I didn't know, thats why i was here asking. thanks to others i found it, so I just put up my findings. If you knew you could have said!! :) - no point after iv'e solved it. [08:00] KNUBBIG: do your virtual terminals work? [08:00] can some one help me for upgrading from alternate iso, i had already mounted iso to cdrom0 but when i try to to run: gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" it wont show any effect or any upgrade screen what to do ? [08:00] purvesh: try it without the quotes [08:00] bullgard4: I am just wondering if I can click directly on gwibber's pop up notifications to open the gwibber interface directly. [08:01] Hey there. When I start Skype from a link as an application it crashes after a few seconds. When I start it from a terminal or as application in terminal, it works smoothly. Any idea what could be the problem? [08:01] Rehan, no any changes without quotes ... same issue ... [08:02] purvesh: ls /cdrom/cdromupgrade [08:02] d4gg3r - try http://bit.ly/mRxybs [08:03] purvesh: If you mounted to cdrom0, wouldn't it be sh /cdrom0/cdromupgrade ? [08:04] hi, i have a problem with my network-manager.... the indicator in the upper right corner doesn't work correctly... i can't click it.... can any1 help me plz? :S (natty) === phonex01 is now known as Bin [08:04] purvesh: ls /cdrom0/cdromupgrade [08:04] usr13, nope not working even i had also tried cdrom0/ [08:04] hi usr13 [08:04] greenit: sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager [08:05] usr13: what is wicd? [08:05] usr13, m trying at run (alt + F2) [08:05] purvesh: ls -l /cdrom0/cdromupgrade [08:05] greenit: Wicd - Wired and Wireless Network Connection Manager [08:05] could anyone help me with why my tty's dont work? If I do "telinit 3" it returns nothing. [08:06] greenit: Try it, you'll like it. [08:06] nope, I start it not as root. Normal priviliges. [08:06] usr13: is it better than the normal networkmanager? [08:06] !upstart | Rehan [08:06] Rehan: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [08:07] whats the best tool to do mock ups on ubuntu (other than gimp) [08:07] kezzawd, ok [08:07] usr13, nothing happened now what to do bro ? [08:07] Rehan: Since we started using Upstart, runlevels are pretty much irrelevant [08:07] usr13: do you know what could be causing my virtual terminals to just give a black screen? [08:07] purvesh: ls -l /cdrom0/cdromupgrade returns nothing? [08:07] <_genuser_> ok ubuntu about to get unstable. [08:07] kezzawd, could you please provide me with the full link, bit.ly is filtered in iran :D [08:07] <_genuser_> just changed a bunch of lines. [08:07] usr13, yup ... [08:08] <_genuser_> errrr they let you have linux in iran? [08:08] Rehan: Well, I suppose they could be turned off. [08:08] purvesh: ls -l /cdrom/cdromupgrade [08:08] usr13: does wicd also have an indicator? [08:08] greenit: yes [08:08] usr13: i didn't turn them off...my plymouth doesn't show either, i'm thinking its some video driver issues...could you help? [08:08] purvesh: mount |grep cdrom [08:08] usr13: do i have to log out to see it?^^ [08:08] do you guys like 11.04 [08:08] or gnome 3 [08:09] i like it [08:09] purvesh: What command did you use to mount the ISO? [08:09] greenit: Me too. [08:09] thx 4 help, cya :) [08:09] usr13, sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-11.04-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0 [08:10] d4gg3r: here you go http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5987637&postcount=11 - the problem you are having is related to Flash [08:10] usr13, and cd is mounted also [08:10] paspro: I do not know. I just opened my Gwibber to test this but at this moment there does not appear a notification. [08:10] purvesh: sudo sh /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade [08:10] usr13, i can also see that cdromupgrade file [08:10] purvesh: the tab key is your friend [08:10] usr13, Thanx a lot now it works [08:10] <_genuser_> anybody on lucid?

[08:11] 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... [08:11] ...is really not a possibility to me. [08:11] _genuser_: Yes === Bin is now known as bin [08:11] <_genuser_> usr13: can I ask you to please post your /etc/apt/sources.list file? please?

So either gotta use 10.04 sources.list to install all packages from it, OR re-install. [08:12] _genuser_: do you like it :P [08:12] bullgard4: every time you put the mouse on top of a gwibber notification it fades out and cannot be clicked. [08:12] I changed my name [08:12] _genuser_: =o [08:12] <_genuser_> usr13: thanks so much. I apprecaite your help. [08:12] so, nobody has an idea why skype works when it's started from terminal but not as an application? [08:12] <_genuser_> richiefrich: no, it doens't even load ANYTHIGN> [08:12] _genuser_: NP [08:12] <_genuser_> richiefrich: just a blackscreen. [08:12] paspro: You mentioned this before. [08:13] _genuser_: wow nice [08:13] _genuser_: lol [08:13] <_genuser_> richiefrich: but that's why you don't upgrade. which is what you just did. [08:13] right [08:13] i didnt upgrade [08:13] hey usr13: how can i create a wireless network with wicd? [08:13] <_genuser_> richiefrich: meaning you restricted the upgrade. [08:13] Rehan: You have only tty 7 ? [08:14] _genuser_: i win \o/ [08:14] <_genuser_> richiefrich: yeah, I won't be upgrading either once 10.04 is installed. [08:14] <_genuser_> richiefrich: lol, i win. that's funny. [08:14] i have xubuntu 10.10 amd 64, 1.5ghz 2 ddr2,dual boot.. what do i do for a os ? [08:14] greenit: Create a wireless network? [08:14] usr13: yeah i guess so, everything else is a black screen. [08:14] greenit: You mean connect to one? [08:14] usr13: i wanna open an ad-hoc wireless network... how can i do this with wicd? [08:14] _genuser_: what i dont get is when i cat /etc/debian_version i see -> squeeze/sid [08:14] _genuser_: you would think it be different on ubuntu [08:14] usr13: not sure if its because of driver display issues or what === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax === davidhsu is now known as tilo [08:16] hello [08:16] <_genuser_> richiefrich: nah, it's the same thing. like firefox, netscape, and tons others used to get in to the office in the morning run source checkout of mozilla and rebrand it and release it. And they all had same security bugs. lol. [08:16] greenit: Click on Network -> [08:16] usr13: crazy how you're multitasking, sorry about the PM, i mistook you for someone else [08:16] i an stuck at "Enabling additional executable binary formats binfmt-support" in tthe upgrad process from maverick what should i do now ? [08:17] greenit: Click on Network -> Create an Ad-Hoc Network [08:17] if i reboot i die? [08:17] /join #ubuntu-us-or [08:17] Rehan: May not be a mistake. [08:18] ben21: What do you mean by "I am stuck" precisely? [08:18] usr13: where is network? [08:18] <_genuser_> richiefrich: ok, so I just fixed up all the sources.list file to lucid ones and now update manager says run a partial upgrade. errr partial upgrade to what? lol. [08:18] Is there a hotkey I can press/set to restart unity if it crashes without doing a hard shutdown? [08:18] upper left corner [08:18] <_genuser_> richiefrich: running that. since I think I miht have to reinstall anyhoo. [08:18] greenit: Did you reboot after installing wicd? [08:19] usr13: nope, i just logged out and in again [08:19] _genuser_: wish you luck [08:19] bullgard4, it doesn't progress anymore, i don't now more [08:19] greenit: and did you add our user to netdev [08:20] ? [08:20] <_genuser_> richiefrich: it's a fun experience. if it works or if it's a re-install. I might get to finally luks encrypt the /. :) [08:20] greenit: and did you add your user to netdev [08:20] ben21: So all your intervention cannot make that your upgrade process will progress?

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.

[08:23] _genuser_: ill pm you [08:23] bullgard4, what all my intervention? i don't know what to do [08:23] greenit: In the wicd install process, it should have asked what users you wanted to add to the group netdev. RIght? [08:24] usr13: yeah, and i checked my user [08:24] usr13: like that: [*] greenit [08:24] ben21: What happens if you simply press the Enter key?

[08:28] paspro, better than xchat ? [08:28] ben21: yes [08:28] paspro, ok [08:28] ben21: If the upgrade windows seems frozen, this seems normal because the upgrade process should not be interrupted. [08:28] ben21: xchat is rather primitive [08:29] bullgard4, ok that's a releaf so what now ? [08:29] bullgard4, i sould avoid rebooting ever, maybe i'get a nice uptime then [08:30] <_genuser_> ok, time to rsyn /home and re-install.

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] couldn't someone fix that ubottu factoid please, shutdown -F won't work since upstart came into ubuntu [08:35] no is there any other method to check ?

"sort of like that" [09:03] norbert_: in Unity default keyboard shortcut for a terminal window is Ctrl Alt and T [09:03] GNOME 3 BABY [09:03] botcity: yeah, but it doesn't allow me to launch the Terminal twice [09:03] Hey everyone, I running natty and have get installed on it.

[09:05] came in here for that lol [09:05] yeah, the launcher/sidebar only allows single instances, and there's no taskbar that's relied upon by progs such as cryptkeeper [09:06] nah u can open multiple with a drag and drop [09:06] you can open multiple programs on multiple workspace with one mouse click [09:06] any one help me with that problem? [09:06] per program [09:06] yeah that's the other thing. i don't get what's up with the systray whitelist. at least they allow you to add "all" to the whitelist [09:07] i dunno at first i hated it but after using it for a day and playing some games in it... i like it a lot now [09:07] Hey. I was curious, where could I find a list of the necessary dependencies for the latest version of wine? [09:07] ok, I have Xchat open right now, but if I click on the Xchat in the launcher, another instance does NOT happen [09:07] @ar71k on any reddit page, type ".rss" at the end of the url and you'll get the rss feed. for ubuntu, it'll be http://www.reddit.com/r/ubuntu.rss [09:07] ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [09:07] ar71k: How do you open multiple instances of an application with one click ? [09:07] thats the latest [09:07] usalabs: you can find that at http://packages.ubuntu.com [09:08] unreal_: if you want to see dependencies, you can find the package in synaptic package manager, right click, choose properties, dependencies tab [09:08] ar71k: latest doesn't mean better when it comes to wine [09:08] How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager?

[09:08] sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [09:09] ar71k: some apps prefer the older versions, you need to check the appdb for compatibility [09:09] unreal_: oh, i forgt the command line, if you're interested: apt-cache depends [09:09] ar71k: not happening for me - just getting default screen-edge behaviour for Unity [09:09] ActionParsnip: o my bad lol [09:09] uh.. yeah, what llutz said. sorry [09:10] nope, dragging the icon from the launcher, to the workspace only puts it back in the launcher, tried it with different icons [09:10] usalabs:talking about in gnome 3 [09:11] Natty? [09:11] ar71k: OK - talking Unity here [09:11] axiin, cool. what I am really looking to do, is uninstall all the wine dependencies, and then reinstall them. [09:11] kezzawd: LOL this whole time? [09:11] so I appreciate the info. :) [09:11] y [09:12] gnome 3 is still pretty buggy tho [09:12] i wana put it on my parent's computer for them but its too unstable i think [09:12] middle click on the icon [09:12] Hi guys. I just upgraded to 11.04 but I don't like unity. How can I start Gnome again? [09:12] ar71k: Yeah well norbert_ was certainly talking about Unity when he was referring to opening more than one instance of an app - jeez [09:13] stix: log out and select ¨ubuntu classic" as the session [09:13] kezzawd: I am elevated right now you'll have to forgive me [09:13] Axlin, I cannot select anything at the bottom of the login-screen as I used to [09:13] To open a new instance in unity [09:13] How would I make sure that my sftp users can only access there home directory? [09:14] brandonc503: What else than to test it yourself? ;o [09:14] brandonc503: it uses the unix permissions in the filesystem [09:14] brandonc503: so you can set the access they get with chmod and chown as if they were local :) [09:14] !classic | stix [09:14] 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] stix: run the app 'Login Screen' in system settings -> system and select 'classic' in the session drop down, then restart pc [09:15] brandonc503: man sshd_config (ChrootDirectory) [09:15] anybody? sorry if i missed something [09:15] usalabs, thanks, that must do it :) [09:16] I'm back,.

[09:16] sorry [09:17] sorry, hold on let me read this lol i had to get my water :P. [09:18] Are you using a different language intentionally? [09:18] How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing) [09:19] @Baskak, try logging out, hitting "Ubuntu Classic" at the bottom. [09:20] wolfreak, i can start the system at all, booting stops at "plymouth" [09:20] *can't [09:20] and you've tried recovery mode too? [09:20] yes, no diff [09:20] the failsafe graphics mode in recovery mode? [09:20] it doesn't reach the recovery mode menu [09:21] but he does reach the grub item 'rescue mode' I guess [09:21] Hello. How can I add more workspaces in natty? [09:21] 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 [09:22] blackbit: ubuntu (...) 2.6.38-8-generic rescue mode (at least that's how it probably sounds in english) [09:23] blackbit: trying again now [09:23] wolfreak: it was an upgrade, not a fresh install [09:23] baskak: upgrades are being a curse [09:24] wolfreak: during my linux history i did some 20 fresh installs, and i am totally fed up [09:24] 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] 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] I understand how you feel. I created a new partition for my home and usr since I reinstalled it so much. [09:26] so rather than losing my files and whatnot, it just reset the system files, excluding my home folder and application files. [09:26] wolfreak: your backups will prevent data loss [09:26] 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..." [09:27] @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 [09:28] @Baskak, try posting a post on http://reddit.com/u/ubuntu [09:29] wolfreak: thanks, you think no appropriate expert here? [09:29] or try again here another time? [09:30] baskak, try ubuntu forums and google, I bet the online community will be able to help you [09:30] No some are experts here, but it's night at the US and other places. [09:30] wolfreak: ps. this address http://reddit.com/u/ubuntu is wrong... [09:30] http://reddit.com/r/ubuntu that's it, sorry haha. [09:30] wolfreak: i see :) [09:31] thx [09:31] 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] thanks for advice and concern anyway :) [09:32] @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] wolfreak: if you drop the @ symbol it will highlight the text [09:33] wolfreak: the drive can still fail, then no manner of seperate partitioning will save you [09:33] To remind everyone, there is a bug in Natty seahorse that prevents uploading an SSH key to remote server, it has been reported [09:34] what do you mean highlight? lol. [09:34] and I know i can lose my stuff but I do back it up once every month or so. [09:34] hi [09:35] wolfreak: just use 2 hard disks in raid :) [09:35] or simply 2 hard disks manually mirrorer [09:35] hi everyone [09:36] 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] is it possible to edit the panel at the top and also the menu? [09:36] andeeeuk: no, it's not possible to edit the top panel in unity [09:37] jatt ok thanks [09:37] I don't have an ICEauthority file and I can't log in into gnome-shell, what should I do? [09:37] andeeeuk: not in unity, but if you log out, hit "ubuntu classic" at the bottom, you'll get the classic gnome look. [09:37] wolfreak: I guess, just warning :). Groovshark FTW [09:37] jatt does that go for the menu also? [09:37] andeeeuk: yes, you cannot move it for example [09:38] wolfreak yeah, I do like unity so was going to stick with it for a while [09:38] Your choice haha. [09:38] jatt i know you cannot move it i was just thinking of transparency and stuff like that [09:38] its all good [09:39] was suprised how good unity was === amigo_ is now known as Guest67474 [09:41] andeeeuk don't know what he's let himself in for lol, unity?, yeah right!, I use gnome classic and always will :) [09:41] usalabs: gone [09:41] how can I regenerate the .ICEauthority file? [09:41] fardad: did you delete yours? [09:41] usalabs: you are assuming that there will always be a 'gnome classic' [09:41] Hi guys. [09:42] hi ReBoot [09:42] 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] Am I at the right place asking technical questions about Ubuntu? [09:42] yup [09:42] ActionParsnip: I didn't have it in the first place [09:42] Nice. [09:42] wolfreak: nar I just use it, no account [09:42] 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] ActionParsnip: And now it say can't update /home/username/.ICEauthority [09:42] So, I can't install it. Or I can, but not really. Let me explain. [09:42] ActionParsnip: s/say/says/ [09:42] well, if Ubuntu completely removes gnome, then it's time to move to either Mint, OpenSuse, or one of the others [09:42] fardad: its a standard file [09:43] fardad: try touching the file [09:43] ActionParsnip: tried it, still says can't update [09:43] 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] usalabs: just use a different DE... [09:43] serhat2: "sudo rm -rfi" -- Or add that to your alias so bad things don't always happen to nice people. [09:43] And after the reboot, there's no sign of Ubuntu at all. No boot manager, nothing. [09:43] hi. I have the black screen problem when upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 [09:43] I took a big risk assuming you're a nice person though. [09:43] I've googled and found some misc solutions [09:44] is there some official solution/fix? [09:44] is there a way to prevent that kind of misdeletion with SELinux or something? [09:44] Reboot, try installing Ubuntu with wubi [09:44] Did it [09:44] The performance is horrible [09:44] I'd like to go native === anonymous is now known as Guest17256 [09:45] I was also going to wipe Windows if Ubuntu meets my needs [09:45] So I'd like not to use Wubi [09:45] fardad: as far as I know, that should be generated when you first login [09:46] ReBoot: Try Ubuntu LTS 10.04 if you want to go native. >_> [09:46] ActionParsnip: they can only manipulate files in there home directory as is, but they can see the entire file structure on computer [09:46] Can I upgrade from that to the latest Ubuntu then? [09:46] ReBoot: you could try installing Ubuntu inside a virtual machine to try it out, using free VMware player [09:46] ActionParsnip: so there should be a problem with permissions? [09:46] ReBoot: Sure. (Many people hate upgrades though). [09:47] Hm. Will try that later. [09:47] What's the downside of upgrading? [09:48] unity [09:48] new problems all over again [09:48] =) [09:48] anyone with 10.10->11.04 black screen problem fix? [09:48] jatt: not like it's forced or anything... [09:48] helpmenowplease: may help www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [09:48] 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] thanks, will take a look [09:50] ojii: right click the app title bar === Chat6910 is now known as magicmonty [09:50] usalabs, right click does nothing there [09:51] 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] brandonc503: http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/howtos_sftp_scp_only.html maybe [09:52] 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] How do you run Terminal in English interface while i am using a locale other than English? [09:53] LANG=en_US.utf8 gnome-terminal [09:53] 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 [09:54] 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,... === debd is now known as popup [09:55] what's the besic differences of nautilus elementary? [09:55] jeniffer82: what do you mean by no frame? [09:55] how to make lubuntu automatically connects to wi-fi network on my eee pc 701? [09:55] usalabs, wow that's *really* intuitive :( [09:55] bromium: you set it in network manager (or whatever app you use) [09:56] blackbit: no window frame where the x (to close the window is ) ... also the gnome panel menus are gone [09:56] JenniferB2: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace [09:56] restrict SFTP to a user's home directory do i need a chroot enviroment, or can it be down with permissions? [09:56] but those I have been able to start by running gnome-panel from console [09:56] 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] JenniferB2: that bit is called the window decorator [09:56] brandonc503: you'll need a chroot [09:56] ActionParsnip: thanks... [09:57] will I have to do that everytime I start the computer ? [09:57] 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] JenniferB2: seems you ae having issue with compiz, do you use an nvidia video chip? [09:57] 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] blackbit: probably not needed, lets see [09:58] ActionParsnip: yes.. [09:58] ActionParsnip: thanks, u'r right. it was simple & done [09:58] . [09:58] 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 [09:59] 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] ojii, I just tried the drag method it works, but only if the app is windowed [09:59] usalabs, didn't for me :( [10:00] guess I'll just stick to single-workspace mode [10:00] 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] Whats the way to go to update php-gd ? I need a newer GD, but i dont necessarily need to touch the PHP version itself... [10:00] what is this called privoxy should i google it [10:00] coz i have not used such things [10:00] it's a proxy. === blueghost is now known as SingRedFighBlack [10:00] ok kellnola [10:00] 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] bromium, what is the problem? been a while since I used it, but it's pretty basic ... [10:01] well, i've read articles and manuals accroding to them squid is slower than privoxy [10:01] can I have the old-per-window-menubar back in unity to be the default? (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/27688/) [10:01] the problem i doesn't work [10:01] bromium, hmm. privoxy is not the heavyweight program squid is ... it might be faster for a little lan [10:01] 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] 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? [10:02] kellnola it is squid proxy then bromium wats the prob [10:02] ojii, click on the workspace switcher, then drag the windowed app across to a workspace,, it works for me that way too [10:02] 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] tuhin: could try removing then reloading the modules, it would need a keyboard though... [10:02] i m on laptop [10:02] bromium, but squid is simple enough to configure with dansguardian [10:03] but use external keyboard, mouse and monitor ActionParsnip [10:03] the disk does seem very slow most of the time. crappy laptop [10:03] i need privoxy only for a local machine to make it work with dansquardian [10:03] bromium could you tell me why u need privoxy [10:03] ah thanks usalabs, still seems a bit too hard for such a trivial task, but that's nicer [10:03] glad I could help [10:03] bromium, my brief experience with privoxy about ten years ago was that it is flaky [10:03] 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 === robins is now known as robinsmidsrod [10:04] 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] 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] 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] but this seems to be a pain in the ass on ubuntu [10:04] tried several things, though [10:05] Mrokii: which indicators? [10:05] firewall? what firewall i'm not using any unless there's a preinstalled one in lubuntu [10:05] bromium, you mentioned iptables [10:05] 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 [10:06] firewall is already installed with it [10:06] 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] with all linux [10:06] 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] bromium: there is but its unconfigured so lets everything in and out [10:06] Throttleling seems to be broken in my computer. [10:06] 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] bromium: well, by default anyway [10:07] ojii: you can also use the same method for full screen apps too [10:07] wat is that called throttle in linux [10:07] oh nice [10:07] My computer runs fine when it is plugged, but lags its shit off when its running on battery. [10:07] Mrokii: you mean applets? like weather or system monitor applet? [10:07] Hi, where does Ubuntu temporarily store videos from Youtube and similar sites? [10:07] jatt: Aren't they called indicators in 11.04? [10:07] Fahmida, /tmp I believe [10:07] usalabs, thanks a lot, that's how i want it ;-) [10:07] jatt: And yes, that is what I mean. [10:08] Mrokii: where do I adjust those [10:08] fahmida it is in temp i guess [10:08] Mrokii: just search for it as an application and execute [10:08] go to file manager then to temp [10:08] . [10:08] ojii: yw [10:08] kellnola maxillusionist: Yeah, it was in /temp at first, but currently I see nothing in directory. :S [10:08] kezzawd: okay, I will try that, thanks. [10:08] How can I make my comp go hard core all the way? [10:08] Sorry, /tmp [10:08] Arney: That was my question :) [10:09] Fahmida, make sure you do "ls -a" or enable viewing hidden files in nautilus [10:09] so in order to run a browser through proxy just changing browser settings doesn't work [10:09] yt [10:09] fahmida u doewnloaded those with firefox ?? [10:09] kezzawd: Thank you! That worked. Not too intuitive method though, but oh well. [10:10] My computers batery last longer in windows then in Ubuntu (Linux) Why is that? [10:10] kellnola: I did perform ls -a, nothing. maxillusionist: yeah. [10:10] bromium have u tried foxyproxy [10:10] bromium: you can export the variables http_proxy and ftp_proxy and it should be ok, there's also the proxy app in preferences which may help too [10:10] Why does ubuntu drains my batery ? :( [10:10] Mrokii: np - like you say, not too intuitive [10:11] NAAAAWW: Because using your computer drains your battery. [10:11] How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing) [10:11] Flannel, :) [10:11] I get about 5-8 hours on windows and 3-6 hours on ubuntu :( [10:12] then could u see where firefox did the download just go to edit >preference>general easy fahmida [10:12] Something happened, and my ipv6 setup broke at home. I'm using Hurricane Electric with freebsd end tunnel here. The tunnel can ping any ipv6 address, and my Ubuntu laptop is getting right ipv6 address, but is unable to ping anything else than link local addresses. Any hints? [10:12] i don't think i have to look at anoither server cause the problem in setting, imho. on lubuntu there is no an applet to change proxy setting for chromium, i change it form the command line, and it seems to be fine. still don't understand why i enter internet bypassing the privoxy [10:13] Does anyone know any way to get longer standby time in ubuntu... Like disable wlan, bluetooth etc [10:13] maxillusionist: It is not like that I think. I just watched that video, didn't download it. I watched with Firefox. [10:13] Mrokii: How did you fix the clock of your comp? [10:14] maxillusionist: In past, when I used to watch videos from those kind of site, Ubuntu stored it in /tmp [10:14] maxillusionist: but currently, I see nothing in that directory. So, I am wondering where it is getting stored. [10:14] If anyone is interested and wants to auto hide the unity side bar, this site explains how:- http://maketecheasier.com/autohide-unity-launcher-in-ubuntu-natty/2011/04/20 [10:15] Fahmida: use a browser addon/extension [10:15] I'm going to reinstall my Linux install and use Wubi to install Ubuntu, Witch version of Ubuntu is the best? [10:15] NAAAAWW: There is a program available in Ubuntu made by Intel to analyze the power consumption of Linux computers. Get it installed. Analyze the power consumption of the components. Then read about ACPI and what you can do about it. [10:15] Arney: I didn't have any problems with the clock. What are you talking about? [10:15] ActionParsnip: I can, but I like that way. [10:15] ActionParsnip: Actually, I have one. ;) [10:17] What is the diffrence between Ubuntu and Ubuntu Netbook? Does a acer laptop with 500 gb harddrive, 4 gb ram, 1.3 gb Pentium Dualcore processor run best with ubuntu or ubuntu netbook? [10:18] ubuntu [10:18] NAAAAWW, ubuntu [10:18] okey, and what is the diffrence? [10:18] deadkeys got enabled after natty upgrade, how do I disable it? === ares_ is now known as Guest37722 [10:18] NAAAAWW: its just the gui which is different, you can use either [10:18] I am trying to run the cron job */10 * * * * ${installdir}/MagentoCreate/magentocreate.sh > /tmp/magentocreate.log 2>&1 [10:19] Okey, I will download ubuntu 11.04 - desktop ... with Wubi :) [10:19] NAAAAWW: netbook was "optimized" for low resolution displays [10:19] but I am getting error in log file as opt/backup/execute/02056/MagentoCreate/schedule.sh: 1: */10: not found [10:19] Thanks for your help :) [10:19] Cya [10:20] Exposure: System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layouts [10:21] Fahmida: firfox stores video and temp files in it's own cache folder located at /home/user/.mozilla/firefox//Cache [10:22] usalabs: I see lots of folders named 1 2 3 4 5 A F D H ...

Which forum/channel should I post/talk to if I want to help this? Don't think I have the time/skills to do it on my own, but I can at least describe what's wrong :) === alex88_ is now known as alex88 [10:25] usalabs: I see 30/40 folders in each one. :( [10:25] ActionParsnip: that link is not firefox specific, and assumes all browsers store their temp files in /tmp, but FF doesn't [10:25] see in usr folder [10:25] only [10:25] It becomes impossible to check for one single video. :S [10:26] tasslehoff: which mbp model do you have ? [10:26] kezzawd: 6.2 [10:26] Fahmida: if you know the name of the video, you could try using a terminal and type sudo find / -name
