| cache_surplus | k | 00:00 |
| bear_ | FHtrain, so ? how did it go? | 00:00 |
| cache_surplus | RavenHursT: are you doing a headless type solution? multiple users to log into it over the network? or what.. | 00:00 |
| ymasory | can the natty launcher be made to stay out permanently? | 00:00 |
| UserX7 | how can i 'sort' a text file alphabetically? first letter of each line. | 00:00 |
| RavenHursT | cache_surplus: I've set up a shared folder through the vbox menu sytem.. can see it in the bottom of the window when I hover over the icon.. but I get those errors when I try to mount it to /mnt/host_fs | 00:01 |
| vanguard | My USB-Speakers are dead after a suspend to RAM. I check all volume bars and mixers, and the USB interface is selected everywhere. What can I do? | 00:01 |
| LjL | UserX7: command "sort" | 00:01 |
| DasEi | ymasory: you mean just default gnome ? yes.. should be a factoid, in between | 00:01 |
| html_inprogress | search UserX7, | 00:01 |
| FHtrain | bear_ sorry i meant i had already updated and restarted when this problem showed up | 00:01 |
| vanguard | UserX7: sort textfile > sortedfile | 00:01 |
| RavenHursT | cache_surplus: headless? I have no idea what that means.. lol | 00:01 |
| ymasory | DasEi: i mean in unity | 00:01 |
| vanguard | UserX7: or open in vim and type :sort | 00:01 |
| irule | I have an ubuntu 11.04 installation on the choose keyboard part, with the grayed out forward button, I chose to download updates and install so it may do somewthing, but its been a while since I dont see much progress other then moving HD lights, should I wait or reboot? | 00:01 |
| FHtrain | bear_, i just did fresh install | 00:01 |
| === siraf is now known as foenix | ||
| cache_surplus | RavenHursT: with out a monitor, and accessable across the net, its an industry standard term ;) | 00:01 |
| DasEi | ymasory: you just want gnome, but no unity , or do I get you wrong ? | 00:02 |
| UserX7 | vanguard: and in emacs? :-) | 00:02 |
| vanguard | UserX7: no clue | 00:02 |
| vanguard | UserX7: but there has to be something | 00:02 |
| bear_ | just keep an eye out to see if there aere other ppl with the same problem | 00:02 |
| RavenHursT | cache_surplus: oh.. nope.. not trying to do that.. just want to be able to share files from a folder in windows.. into Ununtu in my vbox VM.. | 00:02 |
| UserX7 | sort won't overwrite the contents of a file? e.g. sort foo.txt > foo.txt | 00:03 |
| bear_ | FHtrain, so ? how did it go? | 00:03 |
| Blackcamaro8 | Is there any way I can boot Ubuntu into a minimal-resources command-line mode? The computer it's on is amazing, but I need minimal resources to be used while I run a game server that's command-line operable. Any suggestions? | 00:03 |
| cache_surplus | RavenHursT: i have a similar set up on my laptop for smb and vbox stuff. im trying to remember the syntax... ill look around my history files. bbiab | 00:03 |
| ymasory | DasEi: i'm in unity. i'd like for the bar on the left to not hide itself when a window is maximized | 00:04 |
| bear_ | FHtrain, of what os? | 00:04 |
| KNUBBIG | Blackcamaro8: what gameserver you want to run that needs that much ressources? Maybe, if you just want to run servers, install the server edition? | 00:04 |
| FHtrain | bear_, what i meant was i already did fresh install and update and restart when that problem showed up...but i guess i'll try again | 00:04 |
| DasEi | Blackcamaro8: dependening on needed services, just log out desktop or even use another runlevel | 00:04 |
| FHtrain | bear_ 11.04 | 00:04 |
| Blackcamaro8 | KNUBBIG: It's a Minecraft game server-- I want more resources to be dedicated to the server. I understand that I could install a server-edition, but I use the computer as a normal desktop when the server is unnecessary. | 00:05 |
| DasEi | ymasory: ic, I'm not fit in unity, sry, can't help there | 00:05 |
| Blackcamaro8 | DasEi: What do you mean? | 00:05 |
| bear_ | oh, thats a really buggy system , but your wanting to do so then go for it | 00:05 |
| DasEi | Blackcamaro8: you can stop the desktop, if you just need a commandline, saving ressources | 00:06 |
| Blackcamaro8 | DasEi: I know I can Ctrl+Alt+F1, and drop to a command-line, but I want the lowest possible amount of resources to be used by other things. | 00:06 |
| DasEi | !runlevel | 00:06 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 00:06 |
| KNUBBIG | Blackcamaro8: ah okay, I think there should be some options for booting but I don't know exactly | 00:06 |
| bear_ | whats you specs? | 00:06 |
| RavenHursT | cache_surplus: sudo mount -t vboxsf DEVICE MOUNT_POINT | 00:06 |
| Blackcamaro8 | DasEi: Being completely honest, I've been using Linux for about four years, and understand it immensely, but I have no idea what that means. | 00:06 |
| Blackcamaro8 | DasEi: The Runlevel thing, no the command-line thing. | 00:07 |
| DasEi | Blackcamaro8: might be some friggle then, as many services, like networking, depend on other ones | 00:07 |
| Blackcamaro8 | not* | 00:07 |
| RavenHursT | cache_surplus: But that gives me: /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device ... even though I can see the shared folder in the bottom of the vbox window.. ugh | 00:07 |
| html_inprogress | lol | 00:07 |
| cache_surplus | RavenHursT: thats not my syntax, thats the default explanation lol | 00:07 |
| DasEi | Blackcamaro8: you can go to init 1, for instance, and start network manually there | 00:08 |
| RavenHursT | cache_surplus: yeah... I know.. mine is sudo mount -t vboxfs shared_device /mnt/host_fs | 00:08 |
| Arphetic | were the devs trying to be funny when they released ubuntu 11.04? | 00:08 |
| DasEi | Blackcamaro8: (logs you out !) sudo init 1 , there choose netroot | 00:08 |
| Arphetic | cause Natty is merely a bad joke | 00:08 |

| Arphetic | Did they break OpenGL, on purpose? | 00:09 |
| Arphetic | Did they break the tray on purpose? | 00:09 |
| LjL | Arphetic: do you have a support question? this channel is not for rants, no matter how disappointed you may be, sorry | 00:10 |
| KNUBBIG | Arphetic: /j #ubuntu-devel and ask there :p | 00:10 |
| Arphetic | My question is, will OpenGL and the tray ever work again? | 00:10 |
| Arphetic | cause my programms are disappearing this way | 00:10 |
| genewitch | well, i can't get 11.04 to work on my computer at all, even in vbox | 00:10 |
| Arphetic | lucky you | 00:10 |
| LjL | Arphetic: i don't know, i think the old "tray" is being phased out, but anyway keep in mind you can still use classic GNOME (for now at least) if you prefer | 00:11 |
| cache_surplus | RavenHursT: since your in cmdline, may i suggest you check out this howto: http://www.howtoforge.com/vboxheadless-running-virtual-machines-with-virtualbox-2.0-on-a-headless-ubuntu-8.04-server , the syntax is priceless, however, its an older version of vbox, BUT it will give you a few clues as to what else you may have forgotten, ok? | 00:11 |
| DasEi | Arphetic: on my gnome it's working great, but you can still choose any surface you like... | 00:11 |
| zakwilson | I'm having tray problems too. Skype doesn't appear, to be specific. Some other programs that use the tray do still work. | 00:11 |
| Arphetic | its not like gnome fixes the problem | 00:11 |

| cache_surplus | np | 00:12 |
| bear_ | OO) wow ! genewitch , | 00:13 |
| icostisanu | hello | 00:13 |
| genewitch | bear_: yeah the installer and liveusb work but it won't install, and the new GUI doesn't work in vbox | 00:13 |
| ParkerR | Hello | 00:13 |
| genewitch | rather, it installs, but goes straight to busybox ash prompt | 00:13 |
| jenkinSear | zakwilson: you can whitelist the tray icons | 00:14 |
| ParkerR | I installed XP and now when I upfate grub it does not find it. Any ideas? | 00:14 |
| icostisanu | my 11.04 doesn't detect when my wi-fi adapter is switched on, could you help to solve this issue? | 00:14 |
| jenkinSear | zakwilsion: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-re-enable-notification-area.html | 00:14 |
| ParkerR | *update | 00:14 |
| Axlin | zakwilson: canonical decided to enforce a system tray "whitelist," blocking any applications from having a systray icon if they're not whitelisted. to allow all apps to have a whitelist, run this and then log out and log back in: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']" | 00:14 |
| fission6 | any html to pdf command line tools? | 00:14 |
| cache_surplus | RavenHursT: also, here is the manual, good reading :) http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads#manual | 00:14 |
| Jordan_U | ParkerR: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"? | 00:14 |
| zakwilson | jenkinSear and Axlin: thanks for the info. I won't go on a long off-topic rant here, but I dislike that decision. | 00:14 |
| ParkerR | Jordan_U, I'll check | 00:15 |

| bear_ | yes? | 00:16 |
| ParkerR | Here's the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/602538/ | 00:16 |
| Axlin | oh and zakwilson, just so you know, some apps on startup may not show up in the systray if they're loaded before unity finishes loading up, so you'd have to close it and restart it. i'm having this problem with keepass | 00:16 |
| bear_ | czesiu, yes? | 00:16 |

| termitor | hello, how to pass grub in text mode ? i'm have "out of range" in screen | 00:17 |
| bear_ | i can help ppl , if they need IT ....... | 00:17 |
| ParkerR | And I tried adding a custom entry with Grub customizer but it doesn't show there either | 00:17 |
| ParkerR | Technically it is burg if it makes a difference | 00:18 |
| icostisanu | bear_ i just installed 11.04 on my vaio | 00:18 |
| cdavis | My touchpad on my thiknpad stops working | 00:18 |
| ParkerR | I can try burg-manager. I just find buc a little iffy | 00:18 |
| DasEi | termitor: edit /etc/default/grub as root, then sudo update-grub, can use a lower resolution and maybe no splash | 00:18 |
| e2096 | Hi, can somebody tell me if there is a way to boot up ubuntu so that it does not try to generating the locales? | 00:18 |
| icostisanu | and ubuntu doesn't detect whether my the wi-fi adapter is on or off, it shows permanently off | 00:19 |
| zakwilson | Making the change in jenkinSear's link and restarting both notification-area and skype did not result in the icon showing up. | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | ParkerR: I don't recommend using BURG. It's a one person fork that hasn't had a commit in 6 months (possibly abandoned). | 00:19 |
| bear_ | icostisanu, whats your specs? | 00:19 |
| icostisanu | i3/4gb ram/500hdd | 00:19 |
| icostisanu | if this is what you mean | 00:19 |
| termitor | DasEi, system don't boot, i have no cd or other tools for use live cd | 00:19 |
| cdavis | My touchpad on my thiknpad stops working, is there a way to restart it so I can work on figuring out why it stops? | 00:19 |
| ParkerR | Jordan_U, It works just fine. Neither grub nor burg see XP though | 00:19 |
| czesiu | and what? | 00:20 |
| Arphetic | it failed Axlin | 00:20 |
| ParkerR | I like the look | 00:20 |
| Jordan_U | ParkerR: Standard GRUB2 allows theming, though admitedly does not support all of the theming options of BURG. | 00:20 |
| termitor | DasEi, just the shortcut for text mode in grub , give me help i'm need | 00:20 |
| ParkerR | Jordan_U, Mind if I PM? | 00:20 |

| DasEi | termitor: can you boot safemode ? | 00:20 |
| bear_ | icostisanu, whats your hardware ? | 00:21 |
| DasEi | termitor: press left shift when grub starts to lood, try recoverymode, usually second entry | 00:21 |
| Jordan_U | ParkerR: I'd prefer to stay in-channel. | 00:21 |
| DasEi | load* | 00:21 |
| Jordan_U | ParkerR: Since os-prober is finding Windows, GRUB2 should have no problem adding an entry for it. | 00:21 |
| icostisanu | bear_ you mean wi-fi hardware only? | 00:22 |
| genewitch | bear_: update grub? isn't the installer supposed to update if i am connected to the internet? | 00:22 |

| Arphetic | does unity use compiz? | 00:22 |
| ParkerR | Jordan_U, Before I abandon burg I'm going to try burg-manager | 00:22 |
| ParkerR | Just a sec | 00:23 |
| kowen | Arphetic: Yes. | 00:23 |
| DasEi | termitor: so you get just no picture, but a safetywarning from your monitor ? you will need another medium aka usb or cd then | 00:23 |
| termitor | DasEi, dont have :c | 00:23 |
| kowen | It has its own plugin for Compiz, which lets you do some minor adjustments in ccsm. | 00:23 |
| Arphetic | does ubuntu stop with KDE as well? | 00:23 |
| kowen | (For Unity 3D, at least.) | 00:23 |
| bollullera | hello | 00:24 |
| DasEi | termitor: which OS are you currently talking from ? ssh on the broken one installed ? | 00:24 |
| Strav | He. I'm currently fighthing against permissions on my samba share, some help about it would be real nice. On server side, fstab entry for the drive (which I share) is: UUID=my_drive_uuid /media/raid auto defaults 0 3 rw,user,exec,umask=000 ... On the client side, it's mostly ending the same way except I specify that this is a smbfs. Now on the smb.conf, my share is defined with: create mask = 0775, writeable=yes, browseable = yes. | 00:24 |

| html_inprogress | genewitch, yes last i checked, ( a year ago) | 00:25 |
| Strav | Note: The user I use to login is in the global write list. Anything I could try to see what's wrong? (just to specify: from the server side I can write on the partition without any problem, on the client's side however, I need to invoke sudo) | 00:25 |
| KNUBBIG | Strav: what exactly is your problem? | 00:26 |
| Arphetic | why did natty remove ubuntu tweak , and install crap i didnt want :/ | 00:26 |
| html_inprogress | icostisanu, it standard to just give that info , | 00:26 |
| bazhang | Arphetic, ubuntu-tweak, the 3rd party tool? | 00:27 |
| jep | hey guys, my ubuntu boot isn't detecting my pcix ethernet card. when i do 'lshw -C network', it as well as the board's nic show up as 'DISABLED'. I do a 'sudo ifconfig eth1 up' (eth1 is the pcix nic), but still nothing and rebooting makes it disabled again. /etc/network/interfaces only contained the two 'lo' entries so i added ones for eth0 and eth1 (before reboot). Any ideas? I've been out | 00:27 |
| jep | for like a week now. | 00:27 |
| Strav | KNUBBIG: as I just wrote: I cannot write on the partition from the client side unless I use sudo. | 00:27 |
| Arphetic | yes | 00:27 |
| bazhang | Arphetic, its 3rd party, was never a part of ubuntu | 00:27 |
| KNUBBIG | Strav: sorry didn't spot that | 00:27 |
| Arphetic | i know | 00:27 |
| Arphetic | thats why i wonder why they would remove it | 00:27 |
| Strav | KNUBBIG: it's on the second part of my msg, just above your first reply) | 00:28 |
| icostisanu | PROBLEM on 11.04 / ubuntu don't recognize when my wi-fi adapter is ON. I have Vaio Y series | 00:28 |
| kowen | Tweak has its own PPA, doesn't it? | 00:28 |
| bazhang | Arphetic, you need to clarify, what you are saying does not make sense | 00:28 |
| icostisanu | any ideas? | 00:28 |
| Jordan_U | Arphetic: Ubuntu will not stop using GNOME, (and GNOME shell will be available in 11.11), nor will Kubuntu stop using KDE. | 00:28 |

| Arphetic | why did natty remove ubuntu tweak , and install crap i didnt want :/ (banshee and some other programms) | 00:29 |
| KNUBBIG | Strav: how can you use sudo to write? Do you invoke nautilus with sudo? Or do you copy to the samba filesystem via sudo? | 00:29 |
| nerdy_kid | never mind, its a bug apparently... | 00:29 |
| Arphetic | what is not understandable about this>? | 00:29 |

| Auriga | Has everyone upgraded? How is the new OS? | 00:31 |
| skulltip | so i upgraded to 11.04, then installed unity 2d. when i try to play urban terror or openarena, my mouse wraps around the screen, like it's in a limited work area. | 00:31 |
| kowen | Auriga: Depends on who you ask. :P | 00:31 |
| Arphetic | like running ubuntu 1 | 00:31 |
| Strav | KNUBBIG: I expect it has something to do with my fstab entry, but I can't see what's wrong with it. | 00:31 |
| bear_ | icostisanu, what html is saying , when you say problems , you tell us here in chat room so maybe some one else can help , not just one person,lol ... good times like your hardware your running (make and model in some problems do helps to know) cpu , ram , and what ever your use/problem with | 00:31 |
| Auriga | kowen, That sounds like you don't like it... | 00:31 |
| DasEi | termitor: usb will rather work, no way to boot without monitor and ssh in ? fresh install ? use another monitor ? | 00:32 |

| bazhang | Arphetic, this is not the complaints channel. if you have a legitimate support issue please ask | 00:32 |
| Auriga | kowen, Really...? Hmmm.... | 00:32 |
| kowen | A lot of people are extremely unhappy with it, though. | 00:32 |
| KNUBBIG | Strav: Hm I dunno, I only used samba to for Win <-> Ubuntu, if your smb.conf is correct than it probably is fstab, right | 00:32 |
| Auriga | kowen, I am correct in saying compiz isn't compatible right...? | 00:32 |
| kowen | It uses Compiz. | 00:32 |
| santyaga | i didn't like unity, so gnome is my choice) | 00:32 |
| Auriga | Then I misunderstood all I read then... | 00:33 |
| kowen | Unity has its own Compiz plugin, actually, so you can control some aspects of it from ccsm, which is nice. | 00:33 |
| Auriga | AHhh okay. | 00:33 |

| Newbiehere | Hi everyone, i want to download Ubuntu 64. In the alterntive torrents, i only see AMD 64. | 00:35 |
| ParkerR | What and where would I add to this to boot XP from sda3? http://paste.ubuntu.com/602543/ | 00:35 |
| speedrunnerG55__ | i herd unity is unstable why is that | 00:35 |
| KNUBBIG | Newbiehere: AMD6 = 64bit | 00:35 |
| KNUBBIG | AMD64* | 00:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | Newbiehere, AMD64 will work on Intel as well | 00:35 |
| DasEi | Newbiehere: same, it's general 64 bit, intell fine, too | 00:35 |

| Kevin147 | if I can see the terminal on the monitor, just not the login screen | 00:52 |

| sgaap | Jasonn try something like midori if you want minimal | 00:57 |
| zvacet | Jasonn: you can use lubuntu instead | 00:57 |
| sgaap | McQueen, if you are at the login screen (assuming you dont login automatically) you can choose a session, pick ubuntu classic and then login | 00:58 |
| soreau | Guys no matter what I do, I cannot get back into ubuntu classic mode. Even when I switch to it, it still starts unity session unity | 00:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jasonn, XFCE uses close to the same amount of resources as Gnome, lxde (what lubuntu uses) is lightweight in comparison | 00:58 |
| LAcan | what size swap partition should I use on a 32 bit laptop with 2gb of physical ram? ubuntu 10.04... | 00:58 |
| Jasonn | sgaap: and is there anything other than firefix that I can take off my system to make it run better (the problem is the fans, they run SOO loud) | 00:58 |

| sgaap | Jasonn, it might be something hogging cpu or gpu, it might be dust or bad airflow for example. | 01:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jasonn, you could install lxde on Xubuntu and give it a try, you certainly don't need to reinstall an OS | 01:01 |
| Jasonn | ZykoticK9: Ill look into that, thanks :) | 01:01 |
| Jasonn | sgaap: There is definitely no dust or any physical problems, | 01:01 |
| kowen | bU1137Pr00f: 11.04 uses GDM2. It's not as easily configurable as the original GDM, but there are some tools you can install to help. | 01:01 |
| zvacet | Jasonn: as somebody told you try midori instead of ff | 01:01 |
| bU1137Pr00f | kowen: got a list? | 01:01 |
| kowen | bUll37Pr00f: Unfortunately, no. I'm at work. :| | 01:02 |
| sgaap | Jasonn, if thats the case and no visible load issues are around its important to determine whats making the noise, some gpu drivers for example can cause your gpu to become hot | 01:02 |
| kowen | But at least that's something to go off of? :P | 01:02 |
| Jasonn | sgaap: and what is a gpu? | 01:02 |

| kowen | bU1137Pr00f: Ah. I know in previous versions of Ubuntu you could install gdm2setup (or something similar) which would allow you to change the login background and GTK theme. | 01:05 |

| beanstalk | but now it's saying it's a release candidate | 01:13 |
| FreeFreak | can I talk about Wubi installer here? | 01:13 |
| sgaap | Jasonn, for example, mine is taking around a few % cpu max, with spikes depending on activity | 01:13 |

| DasEi | beanstalk: which version it suggests ? natty (11.04) or even further ? | 01:14 |
| Jasonn | sgaap: Same on mine, just the spikes are really high, and I am talking system overall, and when the spikes happen, it goes REALLY loud | 01:14 |
| Nexxy | presumably easy question here ~ I have an LCD monitor connected to my laptop via VGA... it's being detected as CRT1 according to xrandr, and it won't allow me to set the proper resolution (1920x1080)... anyone have any pointers for me? | 01:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | wasabi, multiarch is a Debian thing isn't it? | 01:14 |

| wasabi | And ubuntu, of course. | 01:14 |

| miedda | im running 11.04 and would like to connect to my wireless network when the machine boots so i dont have to login | 01:55 |
| sgaap | smp, afaik you should be able to start and x session with only a browser | 01:55 |
| r00ter | I have ubuntu installed but I want to put a hard disk with windows already installed, how can i include this windows in my grub??? | 01:55 |
| kzman | DasEi, but i am on 10.10, and it does not read any of these disks | 01:55 |
| Jordan_U | r00ter: Plug the disk in and run "sudo update-grub". | 01:56 |
| r00ter | i tried sudo update-grub but not work ... | 01:56 |
| DasEi | r00ter: attach to ubu-box, boot ubu, sudo os-prober | 01:56 |
| needlez | miedda: explain cant you just select auto connect?? and have it autoconnect you so your not typing the password every time?? | 01:56 |
| DasEi | kzman: is there an entry in fstab ? | 01:56 |
| r00ter | no DasEi | 01:56 |
| forevertheuni | hi again well I tried the dpkg-reconf xorg-xserver.and nothing | 01:56 |
| DasEi | !fstab | 01:56 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 01:56 |
| Jordan_U | DasEi: os-prober on its own only prints information to stdout, it's update-grub which (using that output from os-prober) adds entries to the grub.cfg. | 01:56 |
| miedda | needlez: im using the machine as a server so i dont want to have to login | 01:56 |
| kanuha | I noticed that since installing 11.04 my network speed has dropped significantly. Is this an issue that can be resolved? | 01:57 |
| yakubori | hello | 01:57 |
| Jordan_U | r00ter: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"? | 01:57 |
| forevertheuni | I tried ubuntu failsafe mode.same thing black bg when I do alt+f1 I see glimps of the panel | 01:57 |
| needlez | robbier: run lspci | grep -i network in terminal and post results, so i can make sure it the rite wifi card im looking for | 01:57 |
| DasEi | Jordan_U: I know, if it's found .. | 01:57 |
| cdubya | Is there any way to customize the view in 11.04 to put the dock on the bottom? I tried to set it to left in the ubuntu unity plugin settings in compiz and logged out and logged back in, but it didn't make any difference.... | 01:57 |
| yakubori | anyone having cd import issues w/ banshee - specifically artist/track data not appearing? | 01:57 |

| m0ksha | hi, I can't boot windows 7 since I Reinstalled grub -- tried using windows 7 repair utility / command line tools / nothing seems to work .. can anyone help please? thanks! | 01:57 |
| Jordan_U | m0ksha: What happens when you try to boot Windows? | 01:58 |
| sgaap | foreverthenuni: and if you enable compositing in kde (extra effects or whatever they are called) | 01:58 |
| r00ter | DasEi: after i will include this hard disk in fstab, the command sudo update-grub will work?? | 01:58 |
| m0ksha | Jordan_U: it just hangs | 01:58 |
| r00ter | Jordan_U: i dont know pc is in my school... | 01:58 |
| m0ksha | Jordan_U: cursor | 01:58 |
| Rehan | is there a way i can transfer my currently installed ubuntu partition to my USB flash drive and just have it boot from there? | 01:59 |
| Jordan_U | m0ksha: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? | 01:59 |
| m0ksha | Jordan_U: again, sure | 01:59 |
| forevertheuni | ok in kde | 01:59 |
| DasEi | r00ter: first grubs needs to find the os, sudo update-grub then appends it to grub; fstab lets you automount your win-partitions , if desired to be used in ubu | 02:00 |
| Jordan_U | r00ter: Without more information we can't really be of much help. | 02:00 |
| r00ter | yes, i know Jordan_U , tomorrow i will try all the options you cant tell me now hehe | 02:00 |
| sgaap | forevertheuni, but are your extra window manager compositing features enabled in kde, it could just as well be that its glx/opengl stuff that goes wrong | 02:01 |
| nsd | cdubya: Honestly at this point seeing how bad (imo) Unity is, I'd just switch to another WM and use some other dock app; I know that there's others out there. | 02:01 |
| yakubori | banshee just keeps doing 'Audio CD/Unknown Artist/Track $num'... it got everything for the first cd I imported, but none of the subsequent ones. | 02:01 |
| forevertheuni | ubuntu failsafe uses composite? | 02:01 |
| Jordan_U | r00ter: One thing which would be particularly usefull, when you come back, would be the output of boot info script: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 | 02:01 |
| sgaap | forevertheuni, it doesnt no | 02:02 |
| forevertheuni | yes I enabled them in kde | 02:02 |
| sgaap | forevertheuni, so you get a black screen in the unity fallback mode? | 02:02 |
| DasEi | Rehan: depends .. | 02:03 |
| cdubya | nsd, so out of curiosity, why the choice to use unity by default? If it's so bad, that is.... | 02:03 |
| forevertheuni | y in all ubuntu options in gdm | 02:03 |
| r00ter | i will remember this Jordan_U thanks | 02:03 |
| Jordan_U | r00ter: You're welcome. | 02:03 |
| nsd | cdubya: Because it was the Ubuntu developers that made it. Personally, I don't see the point -- the Gnome developers have been trying to do more or less the same with Gnome 3, but instead of cooperating, the Ubuntu devs chose to go their own way. | 02:03 |
| DasEi | Rehan: either your usb is big enough, than can clone hd with dd, or use an approach like remastersys for a live system | 02:03 |
| m0ksha | Jordan_U: RESULTS are here: http://pastebin.com/5pEUfjMa | 02:03 |
| sgaap | forevertheuni, what do you mean by that? | 02:04 |
| Rehan | DasEi: yea my ubuntu partition is 10gb and my usb is 16GB. If I use dd, do i need to do anything for grub? | 02:04 |
| cache_surplus | sgaap: my eyes burned trying to decipher that last sentence | 02:04 |
| cache_surplus | also | 02:04 |
| forevertheuni | ubuntu ub classic ub classic no effects ub failsafe | 02:05 |
| DasEi | Rehan: no, if that goes wrong might have to, but often that works, if usb-boot is supported by box | 02:05 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: those are the options for...? | 02:05 |
| Jordan_U | m0ksha: From that output grub doesn't even appear to be installed to the mbr. Where is grub loading from? | 02:05 |
| cache_surplus | oh. you mean in login splash? | 02:05 |
| forevertheuni | starting the session in gnome | 02:05 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: your asking what they all do? | 02:05 |
| sgaap | cache: i think those are the options from gdm, it seems all fail but kde | 02:05 |
| sgaap | fail being a black screen | 02:06 |
| Rehan | DasEi: so i keep my grub2 on my box's MBR, and as long as the usb is plugged in prior to boot, it should find it? | 02:06 |
| forevertheuni | no I'm saying none work gnome is screwed | 02:06 |
| DasEi | Rehan: to be on the safe side, should do it from a live cd | 02:06 |
| forevertheuni | only kde workds | 02:06 |
| cache_surplus | failsafe? | 02:06 |
| m0ksha | Jordan_U: RESULTS grub actually just got removed when i tried to run the command line utils | 02:06 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: are you able to login? | 02:06 |
| cdubya | any suggestions on other window managers to look at for 11.04? | 02:06 |
| m0ksha | Jordan_U: so i tried to boot from windows partition (without grub) and it still won't boot | 02:06 |
| m0ksha | Jordan_U: now I'm reinstalling grub again | 02:06 |
| DasEi | Rehan:yes, else can de-plug internal and let supergrubdisk repair it | 02:06 |
| forevertheuni | yes and then blackscreen popups show if I altf1 I can see glimps of the panel | 02:06 |
| Anope | hi all | 02:07 |
| Rehan | DasEi: i have another question, how can i run a java jnlp file? | 02:07 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: so you you select the default top option, you log in, then it kicks you to cmdline, correct? | 02:07 |

| nsd | cdubya: If you want to go old school, try FVWM. If you want modern but light, use LXDE or Xfce. If you want lots of features, try KDE. Btw, you can get Xubuntu or Kubuntu's desktops by doing "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" or "xubuntu-desktop" | 02:07 |
| Jordan_U | !ot | Anom01y | 02:07 |
| ubottu | Anom01y: #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! | 02:07 |
| DasEi | Rehan: no idea | 02:07 |
| bazhang | Anom01y, wrong channel for that | 02:07 |
| nsd | cdubya: I haven't used LXDE, so I can't say what it's like, but I hear it's very light on memory | 02:08 |
| envygeeks | !political | Anom01y | 02:08 |
| saganbyte | i m getting an error: Error opening terminal: unknown. while accessing a file via nano using sudo nano default | 02:08 |
| saganbyte | what could be wrong? | 02:08 |
| forevertheuni | cache_surplus, no no comnd line (i didn't try that one..just went to kde..it works) | 02:08 |
| Anom01y | oops | 02:08 |
| Anope | i have a question please,im on Win i want to install Ubuntu from Wubu found in the ISO, and now he is downloading a torrent file | 02:08 |
| cdubya | nsd, nice....so you have any suggestions on WM's...... | 02:08 |
| cache_surplus | your X server is not starting properly, pastebin your dmesg or tail 50 /var/log/messages | 02:08 |
| DasEi | Rehan: ##java | 02:08 |
| m0ksha | Jordan_U: here are the RESULTS after installing grub again: http://pastebin.com/nUPQeVPA | 02:08 |
| nsd | cdubya: I answered your question | 02:08 |
| Anope | Wubi sorry | 02:08 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: so your able to log in,,, correct? whats the issue then... | 02:08 |
| m0ksha | sorry, Jordan wrong linkg | 02:08 |
| forevertheuni | cache_surplus, I can't go to gnome everything is black | 02:09 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: do you not want to goto kde | 02:09 |
| nsd | cdubya: Xubuntu and Kubuntu are just Ubuntu with different window managers; doing sudo apt-get kubuntu will just install KDE | 02:09 |
| m0ksha | Jordan_U: correct link after grub install: http://pastebin.com/nUPQeVpa | 02:09 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: thats a little tricky, and you may have to remove some .hidden files to get it back | 02:09 |
| Anope | can you help me nsd please ? | 02:09 |
| cdubya | nsd, so gnome is no more on 11.04? | 02:09 |
| forevertheuni | mv .gnome? | 02:10 |
| m0ksha | Jordan_U: the weird thing is, I have to use fdsik to toggle off the bootable option on the Win7 partition, otherwise grub won't run, and if i do that, i run grub and select win7 but i doesn't boot | 02:10 |
| Tooyota-4Runner | Looking for some assistance. Just installed Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit version. No errors. When I restarted I was presented with the Grub2 shell. Rebooted with the install CD and dropped to a shell on the root partition just installed on. Removed grub-pc and grub-common. Then installed grub-pc and grub-common. Installed Grub without errors. Rebooted and am still getting the Grub2 shell. Anyone can help as to why it's not bo | 02:10 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: so you have both kde and gdm running your X server. | 02:10 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: stand by | 02:10 |
| forevertheuni | no I have gdm running that starts kde | 02:10 |
| nsd | Anope: I don't know anything about Wubi if that's what you're trying to ask about | 02:10 |
| forevertheuni | but both installed | 02:10 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: yah that combo isnt the best way to do it | 02:10 |
| dvbuser | just installed 11.04, how can I get system monitor to put the resources into the top panel? | 02:10 |
| Anope | ok thank you anyway nsd | 02:10 |
| cdubya | nsd, that figures....ok thanks | 02:10 |
| nsd | cdubya: I wouldn't say it's no more, but the window manager component of it is kinda messed up (that is, all the other parts like the file, power, and session managers are fine) | 02:11 |
| m0ksha | Tooyota-4Runner: did you try running the boot info script?? lol | 02:11 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: kde and gdm have come a long way, however, running them both to run each other desktop is really not the best way. if you dont clean logout, shutdown, something might go wrong,,, prolly what your experiencing now, and after upgrades and such. | 02:11 |
| Barridus | can gwibber be set to update more often than 5 minutes by editing some config file? | 02:11 |
| FrumiousTrue | anope - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198 | 02:12 |
| forevertheuni | I was running gnome when stupid upgrade failed | 02:12 |
| nsd | cdubya: I use FVWM with parts of Gnome, but I wouldn't advise trying it unless you're willing to spend a very long time editing configs to get it just how you like it (there's no visual configuration). I would very much suggest doing "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" | 02:12 |
| Anope | wana take a look thanks FrumiousTrue | 02:12 |
| DasEi | Barridus: setup cron | 02:12 |
| DasEi | !cron | 02:12 |
| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 02:12 |
| nsd | cdubya: Or sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 02:12 |
| LucasSpiker | null | 02:12 |
| Barridus | cron for gwibber? | 02:13 |
| jackster | it seems like there should be a better way than cron... | 02:13 |
| Tooyota-4Runner | m0ksha: No I have not I will do that now and report back | 02:13 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: no, not mv .gnome do a cp -Rp of .hidden files to a new dir. then you can remove stuff, like .gconf, .gconfd contents, related to the desktop and whats currently there. like i said its tricky. | 02:13 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: its an art | 02:13 |
| forevertheuni | been there done that before :( if it's user related I can start another user | 02:14 |
| m0ksha | Tooyota-4Runner: wait, check out this thread first http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1401716 | 02:14 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: usually you will lose your personal settings of look and feel, but thats ok, as long as you dont remove say, .mozilla or something like that... or .bash... | 02:14 |
| Jordan_U | m0ksha: Never install grub to a partittion. Always install it to the mbr. If the boot flag makes any difference at all then you haven't installed grub correctly. | 02:15 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: focus on .gconf and .gconfd but back up first... k | 02:15 |
| forevertheuni | ok I just mv .gconf to .gconfold ;) | 02:15 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: i also think there might be something wrong with your X server config say, /etc/X/xorg.conf | 02:15 |
| cache_surplus | opps /X11 | 02:15 |
| forevertheuni | like what? | 02:16 |
| forevertheuni | I have my nvidia going fine | 02:16 |

| dusf_ | hello, on my upgrade and logging in to 11.04 of 20 mintues ago my mouse moves but i cannot click anything, there is a new apple-like dock on the left side of the screen, a ubuntu icon top left, but nothing else in my top panel - when i click the mouse button and or press keys the system doesn't respond - is there a know fix? | 02:18 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: something to do with copying a .so file with the right name and path | 02:18 |
| forevertheuni | :S | 02:18 |
| forevertheuni | need to look at a .deb to have my bearings | 02:19 |
| forevertheuni | is there anyway to manually dl the upgrade scripts? | 02:19 |
| Axlin | dusf_: i've been having similar lockups happen to me fairly frequently, usually related to compiz glitching out. so you can't hit alt+f2 and type in: compiz --replace? | 02:19 |
| forevertheuni | to 11.04? | 02:19 |
| DasEi | Barridus: ah, that's not the rss-reader, but microblogging, yes there is a tab under settings on how often to refresh | 02:19 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: here are some clues for .so issue | 02:20 |
| cache_surplus | http://pastebin.com/W8esfpk5 | 02:20 |
| iconmefisto | forevertheuni: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 02:20 |

| forevertheuni | lol iconmefisto .it's broken believe me | 02:20 |
| cache_surplus | lemme see if i can find that link... sb | 02:21 |
| iconmefisto | forevertheuni: and make sure you have only one flash plugin installed | 02:21 |
| dusf_ | Axlin: for me it happens immediately on logging in, several times, the mouse cursor moves but the system will not respond. i had compiz disabled in 10.10 for WINE, would it still be disabled on upgrading? | 02:21 |

| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: i think i had to download ver 9 adobe first, then ... um.. im trying to remember | 02:22 |

| moele | sooo, I was building QT 4.7.2 and was getting a few of the same issues with the PCH being not there, cant find a file etc.. so I would either touch <missing file> or mkdir <missing file> which fixed it everytime and it continued building, however my question is this: What are the odds of this breaking the installation and having QT not function the way it was or is intended to? would it be fairly high? | 02:23 |
| Axlin | dusf_: well "compiz --replace" is only if it bugs out again, and it's not a guaranteed fix. that will only help if it's caused by compiz crashing on you | 02:23 |
| DasEi | Barridus: which app are you using for chatting ? pidgin allows, and I use twitter in browser, so it just goes faster than I read, without further tags | 02:23 |
| Barridus | DasEi, i was talking gwibber | 02:24 |
| dusf_ | Axlin: well it's bugging out every boot so far, instantly, i haven't been able to interact with the GUI | 02:24 |

| dusf_ | Axlin: won't --replace just reinstall the same problem? | 02:25 |
| Barridus | yeah me neither DasEi | 02:25 |
| cache_surplus | forevertheuni: read that carefully, and give it a try | 02:25 |
| Axlin | compiz --replace will restart compiz, which is helpful if it crashes. but if it's not working in the first place, it won't be of much help dusf_ | 02:25 |
| dusf_ | Axlin: allow me to clarify for you, it is not just one or two panels that are unresponsive, i cannot interact with anything on the desktop, the mouse cursor moves but i cannot even hilight folders sitting on the desktop | 02:25 |
| forevertheuni | tnx | 02:25 |

| dusf_ | *should :) | 02:28 |
| Axlin | dusf_: to get back to gnome, log out and select it as your session before logging back in | 02:28 |
| skulltip | i find it weird each focused window's menu goes to the top of the bar, whatever it is called | 02:28 |
| dusf_ | Axlin: so type exit? or.. ? | 02:28 |
| Axlin | dusf_: there's a little power icon in the top right. select it, and then log out | 02:29 |
| hiexpo | hola | 02:29 |
| dusf_ | Axlin: wait, i thought alt-f2 would bring up the fullscreen term | 02:29 |
| Axlin | alt+f2 brings up the run dialog. did you mean ctrl-alt-f2? | 02:29 |
| dusf_ | Axlin: the way it's acting i do not suspect it to respond bring up things in gnome | 02:29 |
| Axlin | if that's the case, ctrl-alt-f7 brings back the GUI | 02:29 |
| netbook | hey everyone! I have a microphone issue. | 02:29 |
| dusf_ | ok | 02:29 |
| dusf_ | Axlin: thanks. will i bother with compiz --replace or just ctrl-alt-f2 sudo apt-get install unity-2d and ctrl-alt-f7 back? | 02:30 |

| tepster | is there a logitech mouse driver? i can't find a setting to control the mouse scroll wheel speed | 02:31 |
| iconmefisto | JoseeAntonioR: no? | 02:31 |
| Axlin | compiz --replace will only help if things lock up again, and it's caused by compiz. after installing unity 2d, you'll just log out, select your user name, and select unity 2d from the sessions list at the bottom | 02:31 |
| skulltip | clutter and unclutter are causing issues with mouse and FPS games, i'm killing 'unclutter' | 02:31 |
| JoseeAntonioR | iconmefisto Well, thanks. | 02:31 |
| Axlin | compiz --replace won't do anything for you in unity 2d though dusf_, as compiz isn't used in the 2d version | 02:31 |

| hakeon_ | how can i fix impress blank slides when viewed by MS? | 03:16 |
| pie_ | cheapie, to be honest i actually didnt look there :/ | 03:17 |
| pie_ | i just dont know what the hell im doing | 03:17 |
| cheapie | hakeon_: You may want to ask the OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice community about that. | 03:17 |
| pie_ | i think it works | 03:17 |
| cheapie | pie_: Yay! | 03:17 |
| pie_ | because irc comes up automatically | 03:17 |
| jep | why would the ethernet suddenly stop being detected? | 03:17 |
| pie_ | im just totally disoriented | 03:17 |
| AndrewR_SM | Where I'm confused is that everything was working fine before the upgrade. Also, because ethernet isn't working I can't apt-get/use package managers. Is there a way that I can just de-upgrade? Everything was working fine... | 03:17 |
| pie_ | new gui, y u no come with tutorial? | 03:18 |
| chaospsyche | 11.04 is buggy andrew | 03:18 |
| cheapie | pie_: What's making you so "disoriented"? | 03:18 |
| hakeon_ | thx cheapie - i've tried... sigh... it seems there isn't any fix... how can that be true? | 03:18 |
| jep | i guess i have to reinstall the os? | 03:18 |
| AndrewR_SM | Annoying that it was a recommending upgrade, then. Is there a way to safely go backwards? | 03:18 |

| chaospsyche | jep: and your having problems? | 03:19 |
| pie_ | but where did the bar with the "start menu" go and wheres the task bar | 03:19 |
| pie_ | (pardon my windows terms i dont know what you call those) | 03:19 |
| jep | yes | 03:19 |
| cheapie | pie_: Yep. They can be hard to see. | 03:19 |
| jep | i installed a pci-x ethernet card and 10.10 isn't detecting it | 03:19 |
| pie_ | and how do i get the equivalent of such menu again | 03:19 |
| chaospsyche | is unity a module of the linux kernel in 11.04 ? | 03:19 |

| pie_ | to be honest i find windows/old ubuntu a lot mor intuitive but thanks ive got a launch point now | 03:21 |
| chaospsyche | i'm getting 'artifacts' in my UI and yes I am on 'ubuntu classic(no effects)' | 03:21 |
| taglass | floodplain: sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer | 03:21 |
| cheapie | pie_: It's easy to get the old look and behavior back. | 03:21 |
| chaospsyche | i upgraded(fresh install) to 11.04 | 03:22 |
| floodplain | taglass: cheers thanks, i thought i read that arial narrow wasn't included in that. | 03:22 |
| chaospsyche | didn't have this problem with 10.10 | 03:22 |
| taglass | floodplain: or ttf-liberation which has an Arial lookalike | 03:22 |
| cheapie | chaospsyche: ...like things getting "stuck" on the screen? | 03:22 |
| pie_ | might as well go with th enew since thats how itll be onwards, and the supports mainly going to be for th enew gui no? | 03:22 |

| chaospsyche | cheapie: is there a solution ? | 03:23 |
| floodplain | taglass: hmm, turns out i have both packages up to date | 03:23 |
| cheapie | chaospsyche: Is Flash player up to date? That is what was causing the other guy's problem. | 03:23 |

| vasudan | Hi, could someone help me remove Avast antivirus? I installed it and I have no idea how to remove it! | 03:25 |
| vasudan | I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit | 03:25 |
| tbruff13 | cheapie, i cant figure out how to install compiz settings manager | 03:25 |
| tbruff13 | cheapie, compiz-core: Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) but 1:4.5.2-8ubuntu4 is to be installed | 03:25 |
| tbruff13 | Depends: libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0) but 2:1.0.7-1ubuntu1 is to be installed | 03:25 |
| tbruff13 | Depends: libxdamage1 (>= 1:1.1) but 1:1.1.3-1ubuntu1 is to be installed | 03:25 |
| tbruff13 | Depends: libxfixes3 (>= 1:4.0.1) but 1:4.0.5-1ubuntu1 is to be installed | 03:25 |
| chaospsyche | why would the flash plugin cause this? doesnt make sense | 03:26 |
| Omega | vasudan: how did you install it? | 03:26 |
| vasudan | Omega: I downloaded the .deb file from their website, and installed it. | 03:26 |
| cheapie | tbruff13: Can you run sudo aptitude install compiz-core and see what that recommends to solve it? | 03:26 |
| smrz | After installing natty, rebooting, I get a desktop with no panels, and have no ability to bring up the unity dash... has anyone had this issue? advice to start diagnosing it? | 03:26 |
| Neo_Kipling | scan my new ubuntu 11.04, it has "1080/tcp open tcpwrapped", what's this for? how can i close it? | 03:26 |
| sidge | anyone ever set up fglrx/grub/kernel terminlas to the same resolution? is it possible/worth doing at 1080p | 03:26 |
| chaospsyche | vasudan: synaptic ? | 03:26 |
| vasudan | chaos: No, when I double clicked the .deb file, it installed through Ubuntu software center. | 03:27 |
| cheapie | chaospsyche: I don't know why. It just does. | 03:27 |
| jeffrash | is there anyone around that can explain why ubuntu can get the broadcom b43 support consistent? | 03:27 |
| chaospsyche | are drivers loaded into the kernel as modules? | 03:27 |
| cheapie | chaospsyche: Most are, some aren't. | 03:27 |
| chaospsyche | i'm thinking it has something to do with the kernel/module | 03:28 |
| vasudan | I tried double clicking it again, it opened software center, and I only see an option to "reinstall", no remove. This sucks, I hate Avast. | 03:28 |
| chaospsyche | because this is a newer kernel version than 10.10 | 03:28 |
| chaospsyche | the default kernel when you install 10.10 | 03:28 |
| vasudan | They shouldn't force people like this to keep software we don't want on our computers by not providing an option to uninstall. | 03:28 |
| jeffrash | I understand thanks | 03:28 |
| tbruff13 | cheapie, it says 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded | 03:28 |
| chaospsyche | cheapie: should i reboot? no effect so far | 03:28 |
| chaospsyche | vasudan: you have to use synaptic | 03:28 |
| chaospsyche | or the terminal | 03:29 |
| cheapie | tbruff13: Did it say anything else? | 03:29 |
| tbruff13 | cheapie, no | 03:29 |
| jeffrash | But why does support come and go every time | 03:29 |
| cheapie | chaospsyche: Well, you can try. | 03:29 |
| cheapie | tbruff13: Did you run it in a regular terminal? | 03:29 |
| vasudan | chaos: I tried searching in synaptic but didn't find it. Via terminal, I didn't find the package name. Tried typing avast, avastgui etc | 03:29 |
| jeffrash | it works in one release and doesn't two releases later then it works for two more and stops again | 03:29 |
| vasudan | Thanks for your help guys btw, appreciate it :) | 03:30 |
| Omega | vasudan: do you know where the package is? | 03:30 |
| Omega | I know how to remove it, don't go! | 03:30 |
| tbruff13 | cheapie, no the new buyou terminal what does that mean | 03:30 |
| vasudan | Still here | 03:30 |
| Omega | vasudan: do you know where the deb is downloaded to? | 03:30 |
| vasudan | The .deb package? It is in my downloads folder. If you're asking where it installed, I think it's under Home/.Avast | 03:30 |

| balr0g | =( | 03:33 |
| cheapie | vasudan: Try sudo apt-get remove avast4workstation | 03:33 |
| Omega | vasudan: in the terminal enter the following: sudo dpkg --purge <the package name> | 03:33 |
| fr00g | Okay, when I search in Synaptic, I only have one linux-image installed | 03:33 |
| Omega | vasudan: sudo dpkg --purge avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386 | 03:33 |
| cheapie | tbruff13: The first question: well, you can try. The second question: I don't think that's possible yet. | 03:33 |
| fr00g | That is 2.6.38, but grub is showing a bunch of 2.6.35-x kernels | 03:33 |

| chaospsyche | cheapie im using that | 03:35 |

| LEONSANTIL2 | manden mp | 03:37 |
| hellobyebye | yes | 03:37 |
| cheapie | chaospsyche: Try Alt+F2, then type 'compiz --replace' As for openbox, it's a different window manager. | 03:37 |
| vasudan | Omega: Thanks , it worked! Brilliant - thank you! I'm going to post on ubuntuforums now, on how to do this. | 03:37 |
| Omega | hellobyebye: openbox isn't a desktop environment, it's just a window manager | 03:37 |

| noobiest | cheapie: a partail upgrade is harmless? | 03:50 |
| cheapie | chaospsyche: Can you try sudo apt-get update, then check the additional drivers window again? | 03:50 |

| hiexpo | vike, what mail service you useing ? | 03:51 |
| vike | imap | 03:51 |

| noobiest | wait i must reboot bcoz my ubuntu center freeze and nt gonna lock | 03:51 |
| chaospsyche | cheapie: done that | 03:51 |
| noobiest | i see u latter' | 03:51 |
| chaospsyche | cheapie: how can I use the kernel from 10.10 that is installed by default | 03:52 |
| hiexpo | vike, maybe try thunderbird | 03:52 |
| cheapie | chaospsyche: I'm sorry, but I don't know how to help you now. | 03:52 |
| chaospsyche | :-( | 03:52 |
| IdleOne | noobiest: I recommend you avoid doing partial upgrades, they usually don't turn out well. hold off on the upgrade for a few hours | 03:52 |
| vike | ok, thks | 03:52 |
| cheapie | chaospsyche: There are more of us... | 03:52 |
| chaospsyche | you see what I am talking about in the screen capture i showed you though? | 03:52 |
| fr00g | Grub currently shows Windows Recovery Environment (on /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda3) how do I get rid of these entries? | 03:53 |

| izinucs | Ok.. Where's skype hiding in the repos? I've enabled partners and the others with no results | 03:53 |
| kjxl9 | hey guys, i plugged in a controller, how do i configure it? | 03:53 |
| chaospsyche | can someone help me install an older kernel into 11.04 ? | 03:53 |
| cheapie | chaospsyche: Looks like a driver issue to me. If you have a 10.10 LiveCD, you can try that to see if it's hardware or software/ | 03:53 |
| chaospsyche | cheapie: i don't have this issue with 10.10 but on 10.10 my wireless usb adapter doesnt work. thats why i want to use 11.04 | 03:54 |
| cheapie | chaospsyche: You can add the maverick repos and install a kernel from there. Might not work out well though. | 03:54 |
| hiexpo | chaospsyche, what kernal you currently useing ? | 03:54 |

| izinucs | IdleOne: thanks | 03:55 |
| IdleOne | izinucs: there are plugins for skype in the repos but not skype itself | 03:55 |
| hiexpo | chaospsyche, dpkg -L | grep linux-image | 03:56 |
| IdleOne | izinucs: rather plugins for pidgin to work with skype... | 03:56 |
| chaospsyche | hiexpo: dpkg -L | grep linux-image | 03:56 |
| chaospsyche | oops | 03:57 |
| Karen_m | what do you need for a video card to run unity on ubuntu? | 03:57 |
| hiexpo | chaospsyche, yes | 03:57 |
| chaospsyche | hiexpo: dpkg-query: error: --listfiles needs at least one package name argument | 03:57 |

| Rehan | is there a way i can transfer my currently installed ubuntu partition to my USB flash drive and just have it boot from there? | 03:57 |
| izinucs | IdleOne: hummm.. the command is the one I tried a few minutes ago and now it works.. sudo apt-get install skype.. seems to be working.. with that installed you mean I can also install the plugins for pidgeon etc right? | 03:57 |
| kjxl9 | hey guys, i plugged in a controller, how do i configure it? | 03:58 |
| Karen_m | Ive got a : Nvidia geforce 9500, and it won't run unity.. what gives? | 03:58 |
| Karen_m | geforce 9500 gt | 03:58 |

| IdleOne | izinucs: apt-cache search skype that will show you the packages I was talking about. | 03:58 |
| Karen_m | izinucs, upgrade from 10.10 | 03:58 |
| cheapie | kjxl9: What kind of gaming controller? | 03:58 |
| izinucs | Karen_m: have you don't all your upgrades yet? | 03:59 |
| Nightshades | Anyone know anything about the tuxdroid? | 03:59 |
| kjxl9 | like the brand? | 03:59 |
| cheapie | kjxl9: And model, if available. | 03:59 |
| chaospsyche | hiexpo: do you know how to compile a kernel with an added functionality and install it? | 03:59 |
| Karen_m | izinucs, yes, nothing else is listing .. i checked | 03:59 |
| kjxl9 | a usb recoil controller is all i know about it | 03:59 |
| killer_ | What is Metacity? I received a popup error regarding it | 03:59 |
| kjxl9 | gimme a minute and i can have details | 03:59 |
| cheapie | killer_: Metacity is a window manager. | 03:59 |
| chaospsyche | hiexpo: because i want to go back to 10.10 but in 10.10 my wireless usb adapter doesn't work so i want to add that func to the kernel ? | 04:00 |
| izinucs | Karen_m: strage.. works fine for me on an 8200.. on 10.10 did you install the driver dirct from nvidia or from the repos? | 04:00 |
| kjxl9 | ok its a GGE909 PC recoil pad | 04:01 |
| hiexpo | chaospsyche, oh i see what your doing now you can't revert to an older version though but ifi were you i would do afresh of 10.04 | 04:01 |
| chaospsyche | hiexpo: will my wireless usb adapter work in 10.04 ? | 04:02 |
| chaospsyche | what is the diff between .04 and .10 ? | 04:02 |
| cheapie | kjxl9: It appears that that device is not supported. | 04:02 |
| kjxl9 | oh | 04:02 |
| kjxl9 | poop | 04:02 |
| hiexpo | chaospsyche, what cardis it ? | 04:02 |
| Karen_m | izinucs, it seems they disabled my nvidia driver on the upgrade, i'm re-enabling and rebooting | 04:02 |
| cheapie | kjxl9: You can try "sudo modprobe joydev" but that's unlikely to do anything. | 04:03 |
| chaospsyche | hiexpo: it's a wireless usb adapter and its a 'belkin basic wireless usb adapter ' | 04:03 |
| chaospsyche | hiexpo: it works on 11.04 but not 10.10. haven't tried 10.04 | 04:04 |
| kjxl9 | yeah, nothing happened | 04:04 |
| chaospsyche | but why would it work on 10.04 if it doesn't work on 10.10. isn't that an older version ? | 04:04 |
| hiexpo | chaospsyche, what model and chipset ? | 04:04 |
| twiggy_ | hey can someone tell me how to change the color of the text in the unity top panel in 11.04 | 04:04 |
| killer_ | I'm trying to apply special effects to my windows/GUI via Compiz. On my laptop, I have done this by accessing it in the start menu but on my desktop (system i'm sitting at now) I cannot find Compiz in the start menu. I have checked to verify it is installed by looking for the package in Synaptic. Suggestions? | 04:04 |
| kjxl9 | how do i enable my wireless? | 04:05 |
| chaospsyche | hiexpo: how do i find out? | 04:05 |
| cheapie | kjxl9: Good. Now try "joy2key -dev /dev/input/js0" | 04:05 |
| JoshDreamland | How do I get APNG support? | 04:05 |
| twiggy_ | @killer_: you need to install compizconfig-system-manager | 04:05 |
| JoshDreamland | there doesn't seem to be a libapng package. | 04:05 |
| kjxl9 | umm i would have to install it first | 04:06 |
| chaospsyche | what's the command to find out? | 04:06 |
| cheapie | kjxl9: OK, yeah...try running "sudo apt-get install joy2key" first. | 04:06 |
| kjxl9 | gimme a minute to copy this down | 04:07 |
| chaospsyche | how do i find out what chipset is in my wireless usb adapter | 04:07 |

| ngc604 | has anyone here ran ubuntu desktop on a rack mount server? | 04:08 |
| hesterprynne | how do i change the color of the text in the top bar of unity in 11.04? | 04:08 |
| kjxl9 | it says "Error opening /dev/input/js0! are you sure you have joystick support in your kernal? | 04:08 |
| hiexpo | chaospsyche, lsusb | 04:08 |
| cheapie | kjxl9: Yeah...I don't think it'll work. | 04:09 |
| cheapie | ngc604: I haven't, but it should be the same as a regular desktop. | 04:09 |

| cheapie | kjxl9: Have you tried the network manager yet? | 04:09 |
| kjxl9 | nope | 04:09 |
| kjxl9 | i should do that now | 04:09 |
| chaospsyche | kjxl9: your wi-fi card probably isn't support | 04:10 |
| cheapie | kjxl9: Good point... | 04:10 |

| kjxl9 | ya my laptop IS pretty dam old | 04:10 |
| chaospsyche | hiexpo: will that work in 10.04 | 04:10 |
| hiexpo | chaospsyche, open google and type your computer name > model number and get it's info of what card it is | 04:10 |
| chaospsyche | it's more likely to work the older it is versus if it was new | 04:11 |
| cheapie | ngc604: I don't think there would be any issues. In fact, ZaReason sells that configuration. | 04:11 |
| chaospsyche | hiexpo: i just bought this,my comp didn't have wi-fi out of the box | 04:11 |
| ngc604 | ZaReason is a person on here? | 04:11 |
| cheapie | ngc604: It's a company. They sell computers with Ubuntu preinstalled. | 04:12 |
| hiexpo | chaospsyche, ok what model the wifi card and version in google and get chipset | 04:12 |
| chaospsyche | hiexpo: ok one sec | 04:12 |
| ngc604 | cheapie, ok. i will check them out. i recently had my laptop stolen and i dont have the money to replace it. but i have found some cheap 3ghz xeon servers that i think will work for me | 04:13 |
| ludican | It would be nice if the few companies that sold Ubuntu computers used AMD chips. | 04:14 |
| cheapie | ngc604: Well, ZaReason happens to sell 3 GHz Intel Xeon servers with Ubuntu Desktop Edition preinstalled, so you should be fine with yours. | 04:14 |
| smrz | how do i install nvidia drivers for my system while using a live cd? | 04:15 |
| cheapie | ludican: ZaReason (zareason.com) sells computers with AMD CPUs and Ubuntu. | 04:15 |
| ngc604 | cheapie, do you think a dual 3ghz xeon 4gb ram would be comparible to a core duo 2.5ghz 4gb ram? | 04:15 |
| hiexpo | smrz, you can't | 04:15 |
| cheapie | ngc604: It depends on the usage. How do you want to use them? | 04:16 |
| karan | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1KvxI_7-oA&feature=channel_video_title | 04:16 |

| karan | please check that out | 04:16 |
| ianm_ | is it still possible to get a synaptic touchpad's SHMConfig accessible to apps? | 04:16 |
| ngc604 | music recording is done through a usb box not onboard sound | 04:16 |
| cheapie | ngc604: You shouldn't be able to notice a difference at all then. | 04:16 |

| cheapie | ludican: I have found the Compaq CQ61-411WM to work well with Ubuntu. | 04:18 |
| ngc604 | ludican, amazon had a lenovo 15.6 core duo 2.2ghz 4gb ram 250gb hdd for $300 recert. thats a pretty good deal imo | 04:19 |
| noobiest | cheapie:take a look debconf freeze again after partial upgrade http://postimage.org/image/175z2g810/ | 04:20 |

| cheapie | noobiest: I don't know what to tell you then. Can you try running it in a terminal and see what happens? | 04:21 |
| cheapie | smrz: If you're still here, I just wanted to say that you might be able to chroot into your installation and install the driver that way. | 04:21 |

| jismlicious | No sound when I'm watching tv | 04:26 |

| taglass | TrentonAdams: There's always a chance, but I wouldn't hold my breath | 04:26 |
| TrentonAdams | taglass: yeah, too bad, cause that likely means gnome won't be supported anymore. And, hence a need to switch distros. I'm betting ubuntu will lose a LOT of users now. | 04:26 |
| jismlicious | Currently unity is working flawlessly for me, though it's definitely a bit of a change | 04:26 |

| TrentonAdams | jismlicious: Yeah, it "works", but it's not a "bit" of a change, it's mental. Ubuntu has managed to show apple how dumb-down they can have an interface. That's just an amzing feat. :P | 04:27 |

| === null0 is now known as nullroot | ||

| TrentonAdams | parapara: except the searching of course. | 04:28 |

| smrz | i'm just getting my desktop, nothing else, and i can't bring up the dash or anything | 04:28 |
| perlsyntax | would ubuntu pick them up with hardware driver? | 04:28 |
| parapara | TrentonAdams: just because I was curious and have never seen it before | 04:29 |
| TrentonAdams | Anyhow, on a side topic. I'm sure I used to be able to paste a path into nautilus, when using ubuntu 10, but I can't figure out how to enable that option now. | 04:29 |
| perlsyntax | ok i try that on tuesday. | 04:29 |
| cheapie | smrz: Have you tried the Ubuntu Classic option? | 04:29 |
| smrz | cheapie: no, how do I do that? | 04:29 |
| cheapie | perlsyntax: It should. No guarantees though. | 04:29 |

| TrentonAdams | taglass: I think it was a habit that I developed, so I do think that used to be a feature, hmmm. | 04:32 |
| cheapie | TheYellowGTO: I don't think that's possible. | 04:32 |

| TheYellowGTO | I've done it but I forget | 04:33 |
| taglass | TheYellowGTO: run the program under gnu screen | 04:33 |
| cheapie | slyrus: You can put in "sleep" followed by a number of seconds. | 04:34 |
| slyrus | cheapie: hmm... sounds like a hack, but OK. | 04:34 |
| TheYellowGTO | There is something with an & after it | 04:35 |
| TheYellowGTO | Someone in here told me, but now i'm on mylaptop | 04:35 |
| TheYellowGTO | And its at home in a text file | 04:35 |

| html_inprogress | yes? | 04:44 |
| conner_ | I need help changing the resolution of my tty console. | 04:44 |
| conner | Does anyone know how to change the resolution of the console to fit a 1920x1080 screen? | 04:45 |
| html_inprogress | tty means what? conner, | 04:45 |
| conner_ | teletypetypewriter | 04:46 |
| conner_ | what is this an iq test | 04:46 |
| madsailor | galacia, for running exe's on linux you'll need wine, and their support channel is #winehq | 04:47 |
| glacia | thank you | 04:47 |
| conner_ | All i know is my console does not produce a desireable resolution and owuld like to fix it | 04:47 |
| conner_ | Before nvidia drivers it would boot with nice crisp font and the tty's would be in the correct resolution | 04:48 |
| conner_ | but after the nvidia drivers the tty consoles and boot is not in a proper resolution | 04:48 |
| noobiest | dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 04:48 |
| nit-wit | conner, have you tried xrandr to see if you can get what you want and then edit the file | 04:48 |
| conner_ | all im asking is if anyone knows how to fix it as I have been around my ass a billion times googling it | 04:48 |
| nit-wit | conner, are you chaffed | 04:49 |
| noobiest | after i run,its lokk like partial upgrade same thing diff way | 04:49 |
| nit-wit | ;) | 04:49 |
| slyrus | Loshki: fair enough... but why use rc.local instead of upstart? | 04:49 |
| conner_ | im going to give xrandr a try | 04:49 |
| ayecee | hyperbole is endearing | 04:49 |
| slyrus | Loshki: don't the same problems exist there? | 04:50 |
| noobiest | my debconf still in trouble | 04:50 |
| html_inprogress | conner_, well i was going to help you ,untill you instulted me.. and i know whatt a tty is my my works with the deaf/ and sometimes i help her | 04:50 |
| Jordan_U | conner_: xrandr won't help, this isn't X. | 04:51 |
| Jordan_U | conner_: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 04:51 |
| slyrus | in any event, I think I've fixed that problem and am on to forked-daapd quitting for some other reason :( | 04:51 |
| conner_ | 11.04 | 04:51 |
| Jordan_U | conner_: Then that's probably the highest resolution possible for the ttys while using the proprietary drivers. | 04:51 |
| noobiest | after installing new package i must run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' or partial upgrade awfull bcoz debconf freeze | 04:51 |
| ifqi | how do we can install driver wireless | 04:52 |
| conner_ | so it is unchangeable thats not right | 04:52 |
| jismlicious | Connor: I missed it, is the size of text too small, too big, too ..? | 04:52 |
| ifqi | hello franklv | 04:52 |
| html_inprogress | connner_, i was just checking to see if you meant something else,,,, | 04:52 |
| conner_ | too big, as in the dpi is off. This would be because of resolution | 04:52 |
| ifqi | hello Azelphur | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | conner_: When using proprietary drivers there is no kernel mode setting support which means among other things that native drivers can't be used for console ttys. VESA instead must be used and since 11.04 tries to use the highest VESA resultion possible by default what you have is probably the best you can get. | 04:53 |
| ifqi | hello jordan_U | 04:53 |
| judgex_ | hi, i used parted magic live cd (pmagic-6.0.iso) and tried to grow my ext4 home partition, getting this error "Resize2fs doesn't currently support the combination of flex_bg and !resize_inode." what can i do to resize my ext4? | 04:53 |
| conner_ | your right im rockin the 795 vesa. thanks jordan_U I hate propriatary drivers.... | 04:53 |
| html_inprogress | hi | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | ifqi: Hi. | 04:53 |
| hesterprynne | can someone tell my why my computer freezes whenever i try to change themes? i can click "customise" and change it that way but i cannot change it by clicking on the theme in the main part | 04:53 |
| === __import__ is now known as __export__ | ||
| ifqi | nice to know you | 04:53 |
| conner_ | does anyone know how to configure vsync on the open source drivers | 04:54 |
| ifqi | this the first time i joint this forum | 04:54 |
| Jordan_U | conner_: If you're passing 'vga=795' as a kernel parameter, 1: That has been depricated and 2: You might be making the situation worse as a higher resolution may be available but you are overriding it. | 04:55 |
| mneorr | hi all, i've just applyed the new ubuntu 11.04 updates, and lost 2 usb ports on sony vaio f series..anyone had the same problem/ | 04:55 |
| html_inprogress | wait for dr_willis | 04:55 |
| mneorr | ? | 04:55 |
| c2tarun | I am facing a strange problem with ubuntu, whenever I am entering the password on the login screen its instead of logging in its comming back again and again on password screen. why so? | 04:55 |
| mneorr | the usb3 port works, but 2 usb 2.0 on the other side doesn't anymore | 04:55 |
| slinger2519 | hey guys could i make an irc server? i have a computer that i have acting as a server right now running 10.04 | 04:56 |
| conner_ | nah jordan, highest possible for vesa is 795 and that is what ubuntu is running as max for the propriatary. this is why everytime I try and change it it does not change because it is already 795. | 04:56 |
| Toph | c2tarun,,, on 11.04? | 04:56 |
| c2tarun | Toph: nope on 10.04 lucid | 04:56 |
| Toph | c2tarun,,, ok | 04:56 |
| Jordan_U | conner_: OK. So to confirm, you are *not* passing any 'vga=' parameter to the kernel? | 04:57 |
| c2tarun | Toph: any solution? | 04:57 |
| html_inprogress | c2tarun, that one again,huh... update, restart | 04:57 |
| ngc604 | slinger2519, i believe you need the ircd package from synaptic package manager. then there should be info online on how to set it up. tho getting it on a major network takes some major internet speed | 04:57 |
| trinikrono | c2tarun: can you drop to terminal run startx | 04:57 |
| Toph | c2tarun,,, no,, i was having the same problem with 11.04, and still am, but I think it is Unity crashing | 04:58 |
| trinikrono | that should not use gdm | 04:58 |
| c2tarun | I just logged in :( but sometimes it never allows me to login. is there any permanent solution | 04:59 |
| mneorr | sorry for posting again... anyone lost usb 2.0 on laptop after newest update? | 04:59 |
| noobiest | debconf-communi what procces?this process always freeze and make me doing 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' or partial upgrade many time can i remove it? | 04:59 |

| Toph | !version | ifqi | 05:02 |
| ubottu | ifqi: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 05:02 |

| MK`` | Is it possible for me to have 2 separate installations of Ubuntu (eg. a 32-bit and a 64-bit) installed but share a list of users and use the same /home partition? | 05:08 |
| cheapie | ifqi: Try running "lspci | grep wireless" | 05:09 |
| cheapie | Toph: What happens when you try to log into the Unity desktop? | 05:09 |
| html_inprogress | compiz , im dont know about unity but i know compiz "gives you hell" lol just cuz and some times its random, so try to take in off , update , restart, , log back in to unity and try in out | 05:09 |
| cheapie | MK``: Same /home: yes. Same users list: I don't think so. | 05:09 |
| Toph | cheapie,,, the screen blacks out for 5 seconds and returns to the login screen | 05:09 |
| Bonkers | maybe I'm missing something, but how do I reboot/logout with this new unity interface? and is there an easy way to disable unity? | 05:10 |
| Jordan_U | MK``: I'm not sure how manageable that would be but are you aware that you can run 32 bit applications, and a full 32 bit chroot if needed, on 64 bit Ubuntu? | 05:10 |
| Jordan_U | Bonkers: Click on the power icon at the top right. | 05:10 |
| cheapie | Toph: check jockey and see if there are any drivers available. | 05:10 |
| MK`` | Yes Jordan_U. I was curious about the process. If I wanted to access the files of a different user in /home on the other installation, I'd have to manually provide the encryption key? | 05:10 |
| Jordan_U | Bonkers: That hasn't changed recently. | 05:10 |
| Jordan_U | !classic | Bonkers | 05:10 |
| ubottu | Bonkers: 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. | 05:10 |
| Toph | cheapie,,, could you please explain what 'jockey' is | 05:11 |
| cheapie | Toph: It's the "Additional Drivers" thing. | 05:11 |
| Bonkers | Jordan_U, thanks, but I think something is broken here, that top right light switch icon doesn't do anything, double click, right click, left click, nothing, and before upgrading I had a system menu with all of this, which I suspect is classic | 05:11 |
| Souperman | >sudo jockey-gtk | 05:11 |
| cheapie | Toph: as Souperman said, "sudo jockey-gtk" will launch it. | 05:12 |
| glacia | #winehq is no help | 05:12 |
| Jordan_U | Bonkers: I'm pretty sure that logout hasn't been in the System menu since before Ubuntu 10.04. | 05:12 |
| cheapie | glacia: What is your problem? | 05:12 |
| Bonkers | kinda wishing I didn't upgrade, this thing is a huge mess, the new kernel doesn't work with my video card, and wireless doesn't seem to work on the old kernel now | 05:13 |
| glacia | trying to install and run a virtual gba emulator | 05:13 |
| Souperman | glacia, there are vga emulators native | 05:13 |
| Toph | cheapie,,, ok,, i'm been there,, the video driver ischeok, let me try | 05:13 |
| cheapie | glacia: Try this one: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Emulators/Visualboy-Advance-3469.shtml | 05:13 |
| glacia | souperman, where? | 05:13 |
| nsur | hi all. i installed 10.10 and it took 10s from BIOS to login page, then i upgrade to 11.04 yesterday. now it takes 110s to get login screen. is 11.04 natty slower?? | 05:14 |
| MK`` | Jordan_U / cheapie please check my line :) | 05:14 |
| html_inprogress | Bonkers, ? ctrl+alt delete? | 05:14 |
| glacia | cheapie, i downloaded that im still learning on how to install stuff on ubuntu.... what do i do next | 05:15 |
| nabi | how can I use smb:// in dest. for rsync command ? | 05:15 |
| Herbs | nabi mount it first | 05:15 |
| Jordan_U | MK``: I don't know how encrypted home directories would work with such a setup. What is your end goal? | 05:15 |
| Souperman | glacia, try gnuboy | 05:15 |
| nabi | Herbs: ok thanks :X | 05:15 |
| Herbs | then it will be rsync -switches /mounted/dir/ | 05:15 |
| cheapie | glacia: You should just be able to go into Synaptic and install visualboyadvance-gtk | 05:16 |
| Souperman | that too | 05:16 |
| Toph | cheapie,,, it gives me..ATI/AMD propriator FGLRX video driver is already in use | 05:16 |
| Jordan_U | glacia: Forget what you have downloaded, open Ubuntu Software Center, and search for "game boy" | 05:16 |
| MK`` | Jordan_U: essentially if it is possible to share a user list | 05:17 |
| Jordan_U | MK``: Sharing a user list is not an end goal :) | 05:17 |
| cheapie | Toph: Good. However, you can try disabling that, rebooting, and trying again. | 05:17 |
| Toph | cheapie,,, ok | 05:17 |
| nabi | Herbs: how can I find device name of smb://.... ? | 05:17 |
| === zenrox_ is now known as zenrox | ||
| cheapie | Toph: You could also try "Unity 2D" and see if that works. | 05:18 |
| Herbs | nabi it wont have a device name | 05:18 |
| MK`` | Jordan_U: I know... just forget it :/ | 05:18 |
| nabi | Herbs: so, how can I mount it? | 05:18 |
| Herbs | its iirc usually work with nfs not samba host:/share | 05:18 |
| nabi | mount /media/win/ smb://.... ? | 05:18 |
| nabi | mount smb://.... /media/win/ ? | 05:19 |
| Herbs | nabi source always comers before mount point | 05:19 |
| cheapie | nabi: It seems that the smb stuff is done by nautilus, so mount might not work. If it did, you would probably also need the 'bind' option. | 05:20 |
| === MUILTFN is now known as MCUMH | ||
| Herbs | nabi easiest way to mount samba shares is using autofs then you can mount them by cd to the dir | 05:20 |
| Cporter | I installed Ubuntu 11.4 using Wubi and when I booted into it, it says there is no boot partion. I uninstalled and it happened again. Any idea what could causing it | 05:21 |

| vexati0n | so... i like Natty more than I thought, but there's one thing that's driving me nuts: I have dual monitors, and on the second monitor the menu bar at the top runs off the edge of the screen. | 05:24 |
| vexati0n | any way to fix that? | 05:24 |
| renegaid | ubuntu seems to be getting slower and slower with every release | 05:24 |
| amskinner | ^ | 05:24 |
| vexati0n | natty works better on my machine than maverick did | 05:24 |
| Souperman | welcome to bloat | 05:24 |
| Herbs | nabi I usually get around that by using autofs for samba | 05:25 |
| Herbs | nabi but make sure you have smbfs installed try dpkg -l | grep smbfs | 05:25 |

| Snakkah | I decided to switch back to 10.04 as I'm not too pleased with the new Unity interface and for stability reasons, but I was wondering if there would be any harm in upgrading to the latest 2.6.38 kernel on my 10.04 install. What do you all think? | 05:32 |
| Souperman | there might be your problem, try to make a booteable pendrive | 05:33 |
| Herbs | nabi what repos you have enabled? | 05:33 |
| nsur | disini | 05:34 |
| crohakon | Souperman, I tried that as well. The portable CD drive is not the issue. I was able to use other versions (newer) just fine, but the netbook has only 1 gb and the software she uses is for XP (though, sure it would work in newer versions) | 05:34 |
| marenostrum | Snakkah, Why don't you plainly use "Ubuntu Classic" interface instead of downgrading? | 05:34 |

| Herbs | killer top | 05:34 |
| killer_ | herbs: i thought top was only the top 10 processes | 05:35 |
| Souperman | crohakon, then i guess you already knew this http://wintoflash.com/home/en/ | 05:35 |
| Herbs | killer nvm if you want like task manger system > resource monitor | 05:35 |

| crohakon | Souperman, no, I did not. It is a zip file, is this a windows program? | 05:37 |

| Snakkah | marenostrum, I did that at first, but even there I noticed some annoying Compiz bugs even in the "Classic" interface in the new release. Along with that, multiple burns of the Live CD would not boot into the live environment at all. As far as I'm concerned, Canonical still needs to work out some bugs before I consider 11.04 again. | 05:37 |

| Zeeofu | does anyone know how to boot aternate ubuntu install from usb | 05:46 |
| Strav | He. I just assembled a small htpc using an asus e35 pro mother board, one with those new amd apu. Now I'm trying to get it to decently play an mp4 video at 1080p and it just choke on it. Now I tried different players (vlc, smplayer), tried different video outputs, tried adjusting my video shared memory, no success... any suggestion on that matter? | 05:46 |
| Jordan_U | Nameless: That has a BIOS implementation and you'll save yourself headache by using it. | 05:46 |
| marenostrum | jack123, I'm almost sure that its something related with some settings (or a need of installing a driver, at worst) but I can not say anything in concrete. Lets Google ubuntu+<your network card> | 05:46 |
| marenostrum | jack123, Yes, I'm here. | 05:47 |
| Strav | (btw, the system has 2gb of ram) | 05:47 |
| Zeeofu | does anyone know how to boot aternate ubuntu install from usb | 05:47 |
| Nameless | i have a MacBook Pro 3.1 (late 2007) | 05:47 |
| Nameless | same thing? | 05:47 |
| Herbs | strav your gfx? | 05:47 |

| Strav | Herbs: you mean what is my video card? | 05:48 |
| Zeeofu | jack123: Thanks | 05:48 |
| Herbs | yes | 05:48 |
| Jordan_U | Nameless: Yes. | 05:48 |
| Nameless | Jordan_U: at the moment i'm installing the system by saving a 200mb FAT partition as /dev/sda1 | 05:48 |
| Nameless | what do you suggest to do? | 05:49 |
| komatose | 11.04, my clock has disappeared, and System Settings won't open. Any ideas? | 05:49 |
| jack123 | please some 1 help me my interenet is really not working in ubuntu | 05:49 |
| ae0000 | there used to be a way of using a operating system installed on your machine (windows) as a virtual machine inside of ubuntu... can anyone point me to how or what tech is used to do this? | 05:49 |
| Strav | Herbs: those amd apu are an integrated solution between gpu and cpu, it's an AMD E-350 APU code name zacate. | 05:50 |
| ae0000 | i remember doing it years ago... just cant remember how | 05:50 |
| jack123 | ae0000 is it vmware.? | 05:50 |
| marenostrum | jack123, nforce 630 a seems to be your motherboard. What is your network card? | 05:50 |
| Jordan_U | Nameless: Use this iso: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64+mac.iso burn it to a CD, boot from the CD, use automatic partitioning in the installer. | 05:50 |
| Herbs | starv hmm dont really have any experience other than nvidia | 05:50 |
| Strav | Herbs: and btw, I'm using the proprietary amd drivers for this. | 05:50 |
| Dark_Link | do the intell legacy work with 11.0.4? | 05:50 |
| atlef | ae0000, virtualbox? | 05:50 |
| jack123 | network card is onboard nforce networking controller | 05:50 |
| ae0000 | jack123, not sure will take a look... i really cat remember :) | 05:51 |
| ae0000 | atlef, maybe.. i'll have a look | 05:51 |
| ae0000 | found it .. .vmware converter :) | 05:51 |
| jack123 | so i was right :) | 05:52 |
| Dark_Link | and how would i enable them as i cant stand not being able to play a youtube video without super choppy playback | 05:52 |
| Herbs | ae0000 virtualbox-ose | 05:52 |
| Nameless | Jordan_U: to be honest with you i'm installing debian, but i thoight the way for get the system booting is the same as ubuntu | 05:52 |
| Jordan_U | Nameless: And please do just use automatic partitioning rather than trying to setup partitions manually. It will set up everything correctly. | 05:52 |
| Nameless | :\ | 05:52 |
| Nameless | *tought | 05:52 |
| Herbs | nameless ubuntu is based on debian but debian is debian | 05:52 |
| Nameless | Herbs: i know | 05:53 |
| wjlafrance | Is there a way to install Ubuntu Server on a headless box? | 05:53 |
| inimeg | love me some .deb | 05:53 |
| jack123 | i am new to linux which distro will you guys recommend me.? | 05:53 |
| inimeg | srry ive been drinking | 05:53 |
| inimeg | ubuntu jackl123 | 05:53 |
| Jordan_U | Nameless: Debian has an IRC channel, #debian, and I answered you in #grub when you asked. Please don't try to get Debian support in #ubuntu. | 05:53 |
| chaospsyX | jack123: Ubuntu | 05:53 |
| jack123 | ubuntu is creating problems blah | 05:54 |
| ae0000 | Herbs, hmmm have you done it before with virtualbox? cant find any docs for it | 05:54 |
| chaospsyX | jack123: try fedora | 05:54 |
| ae0000 | Herbs, i take that back :) | 05:54 |
| jack123 | whats the difference between fedora n ubuntu | 05:54 |
| wjlafrance | jack123: if you can't get ubuntu to work, try gentoo | 05:54 |
| Dark_Link | i love how i had to use ubuntu 10.10 just to partition my nfs hardrive to make space for 11.0.4 | 05:54 |
| Nameless | you answered me in #grub? sorry, maybe i didn't read | 05:54 |
| Herbs | jack123 the majority are easy to install these days and easy to use so it doesent really matter check distro watch have a read see which one you fancy really, the only ones not for noobs is slackware and maybe arch | 05:54 |
| Jordan_U | !ot | inimeg | 05:54 |
| ubottu | inimeg: #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! | 05:54 |
| taglass | jack123: Well If Mandriva was working w/ your hardware, that's a pretty good choice. openSUSE is also a good choice if you don't wanna use Ubuntu | 05:54 |
| marenostrum | jack123, Was your internet connection active during installation? Does ubuntu Natty make connection while using the live CD? ıf answers are no and yes; maybe its best to reinstall with a working internet connection. | 05:54 |
| chaospsyX | jack123: mandriva,debian,fedora all are decent | 05:55 |
| chronicle_ | Hey quick question anyone know any free server blacklists for like porn sites? | 05:55 |
| babbio | Hi guys I've a problem connecting with svn+ssh, I can connect with ssh to my server but when I use svn+ssh I get the error message "ssh could not resolve hostname name or service not known" what can I do? thank you | 05:55 |
| Strav | Herbs: just found some specs saying that the graphics controller is AMD Radeon HD 6310... if that's of any matter. | 05:55 |
| chaospsyX | jack123: mandriva is probably the most noob friendly other than ubuntu | 05:55 |
| Herbs | jack123 the main diffs fedora is blleding edge they update packages without considering stability (as its red hats test platform) they use rpm instead of deb | 05:55 |
| hateball | !ot | 05:55 |
| ubottu | #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! | 05:55 |
| YellowGTO | Anyone know of Software noise cancellation for linux? | 05:56 |
| Jordan_U | YellowGTO: Real time? | 05:56 |
| jack123 | marenostrum i read that it has to do with kernel thing .. there were 4 kernel version displayed to me at the time of install and i had to choose one | 05:56 |
| YellowGTO | Yeah Jordan_U | 05:56 |
| chaospsyX | Jack123: download 'virtual box' and check them all out | 05:56 |
| YellowGTO | I have it for windows works well | 05:56 |
| Jordan_U | YellowGTO: Then no I don't personally, but it probably exists. | 05:56 |
| YellowGTO | I've been searching google | 05:56 |
| YellowGTO | Can't seem to find it | 05:57 |
| Jordan_U | YellowGTO: If you don't get an answer here try in #ubuntustudio. | 05:57 |
| chaospsyX | Jack123: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads | 05:57 |
| marenostrum | jack123, Was it an alternate ISO? | 05:57 |
| Herbs | strav its an ati card then | 05:57 |
| chaospsyX | can't believe that program is free | 05:57 |
| geekorama | hi guys | 05:58 |
| chaospsyX | hi geekorama | 05:58 |
| geekorama | how do i manage my bookmarks on ubuntu one account please? | 05:58 |
| RavenhursT | Alright.. trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 from USB... I get past my system BIOS and them I stuck w/ "SYSLINUX 3.82 2009-06-09 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2009 H. Peter Anvin et al" | 05:58 |
| geekorama | i enabled sharing bookmarks, but i dont see them on server, just see files/notes/Contacts | 05:59 |
| jack123 | i have mandriva and ubuntu as alternate iso | 05:59 |
| taglass | RavenhursT: How did you create the USB? | 05:59 |
| chaospsyX | Ravenhurst: what program did you use to make the USB? | 05:59 |
| RavenhursT | Then I tried removing "ui" from the /syslinux/syslinux.cfg file.. and now I get that same result + "Unkown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot" | 05:59 |
| chaospsyX | jack123: you can check both of them out in VB | 05:59 |
| marenostrum | jack123, What happens if you tyr to start from a live CD (not alternate)? Isn't your machine capable of doing that? | 05:59 |
| RavenhursT | taglass: chaospsyX : the usb creator tool that's on the UBuntu image.. | 05:59 |
| jack123 | ravenhurst http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 05:59 |
| Herbs | jack123 if you have got used to mandriva then fedora might be your best bet as like mandriva is based on red hat | 05:59 |
| marenostrum | jack123, Is there a RAM problem? | 06:00 |
| RavenhursT | jack123... thnx.. I'll giat | 06:00 |
| jack123 | yeah my machince is capable of running live cd | 06:00 |
| jack123 | no there is no ram problem | 06:00 |
| taglass | Herbs: That may have been true at one point, but that's like saying Suse is still based upon slackware. | 06:00 |
| Souperman | chronicle_, http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html | 06:00 |
| chaospsyX | RavenhursT: watch for any errors when you pendrivelinux....might have a broken image,have to redownload it | 06:00 |
| Souperman | wait no | 06:00 |
| marenostrum | jack123, So what happens when you run live CD? No internet connection? | 06:00 |
| Souperman | chronicle_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DansGuardian | 06:01 |
| Jordan_U | RavenhursT: You used the USB creator that comes on the same image that you wrote to the USB drive? | 06:01 |
| Herbs | taglass I havent used or kept up eith mandriva since it was mandrake | 06:01 |
| Dark_Link | :/ i have a gma 945 and the performance is horrible how can i switch to the old drivers that run a bit better? | 06:01 |
| RavenhursT | Jordan_U: yes | 06:01 |
| jack123 | i havent run ubuntu as a live cd yet | 06:01 |
| jack123 | shall i try i t.? | 06:01 |
| chronicle_ | Thats great thanks Souperman | 06:01 |
| chaospsyX | give a go | 06:01 |
| chaospsyX | which version of ubuntu jack123? | 06:02 |
| Jordan_U | RavenhursT: That's really odd because that error is normally from an incompatibility between syslinux versions. | 06:02 |
| jack123 | latest 11.04 | 06:02 |
| jack123 | downloaded yesterday | 06:02 |
| chaospsyX | cool | 06:02 |
| RavenhursT | Jordan_U: yeah.. I dunno... just wanna get it installed.. | 06:02 |
| RavenhursT | lol | 06:02 |
| Herbs | jack123 if you want to try ubuntu I suggest 10.04 | 06:02 |
| jack123 | if i run live cd which things shall i note marenostrum | 06:02 |
| chaospsyX | jack123: you got a decent video card? | 06:02 |
| jack123 | yes 8800gt | 06:02 |
| marenostrum | jack123, ıf you aask me, try. If you have a connection, install right then. By the way, I can not get why Ubuntu offers you 4 kernel at the installation. I have never experienced such a thing. | 06:03 |
| chaospsyX | me neither | 06:03 |
| Jordan_U | RavenhursT: And 11.04 comes with syslinux 4.02, not 3.82 as in your error message? | 06:03 |
| Dark_Link | it shouldent | 06:03 |
| Jordan_U | RavenhursT: That wasn't meant to have a question mark at the end :) | 06:03 |
| RavenhursT | Jordan_U: That's the message I got... it just hung there.. | 06:03 |
| jack123 | yeah it offered me 4 kernels to chooose from both were different versions | 06:03 |
| jack123 | all the 4 * | 06:03 |
| RavenhursT | Jordan_U: I have no idea why it said that... | 06:04 |
| chaospsyX | jack123: the grub menu ? | 06:04 |
| Jordan_U | RavenhursT: Did you make the USB from Windows or from within Ubuntu booted from a burned CD? | 06:04 |
| jack123 | no the installiton menu | 06:04 |
| marenostrum | jack123, Note kernel. Note driver for the card(s) and try to note the settings for connection, if any. | 06:04 |
| chaospsyX | jack123: where did you download the ISO and what distro? | 06:04 |
| jack123 | download from ubuntu homepage | 06:04 |
| chaospsyX | jack123: alternate? | 06:04 |
| jack123 | distro is ubuntu | 06:04 |
| marenostrum | jack123, I googled some and I'm almost sure that it should work. | 06:05 |
| jack123 | what is altername.? | 06:05 |
| jack123 | altetnate* | 06:05 |
| chaospsyX | whats the filename of your ISO image | 06:05 |
| RavenhursT | Jordan_U: I dl'd the .iso from the ubuntu.com torrent link.. then I mounted the image using... uh.. clonedvd or something like that.. then I copied the usb creation tool to my HD.. ran it.. then I rebooted w/ the usb drive and that's what I got.. | 06:05 |
| jack123 | you mean it will work after reinstallation..? | 06:05 |
| jack123 | ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64 | 06:05 |

| marenostrum | jack123, Alternate: There's an instalation image which is mainly for old machines with not sufficient RAM and you do some things manually with it. I don't advice it. If your machine is OK for a atandars ISO go with it. And try to let Ubuntu to recognize and do the standard installation. | 06:07 |
| RavenhursT | atlef: ok... | 06:07 |
| jack123 | ok | 06:07 |

| chaospsyX | you have DHCP turned on? | 06:15 |
| chaospsyX | on the wimax box ? | 06:15 |
| histo | killer_: right click in xfce and select add to panel then start typing in cpu | 06:15 |
| jack123 | yeah | 06:15 |
| jack123 | dhcp | 06:15 |
| KM0201 | jack123: what is your wireless device.. thats the first step in figuring out why you're wireless doesn't work | 06:16 |
| chaospsyX | he doesnt have wireless | 06:16 |
| chaospsyX | he has a 4g wimax box | 06:16 |
| jack123 | yyeah right | 06:16 |
| KM0201 | ohhhhhh.. ok | 06:16 |
| KM0201 | my bad | 06:16 |
| KM0201 | i was confused | 06:16 |
| chaospsyX | but the box is receiving a wireless signal ? | 06:16 |
| chaospsyX | and sending that to your comp over ethernet? | 06:16 |
| jack123 | yeah absolutely right | 06:17 |
| killer_ | Hista: I'm in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS right now and it uses the Gnome Panel 2.30. I have added to panel but the only CPU item I find is to change the CPU freqency. | 06:17 |
| chaospsyX | go into 192.168.1.1 and hit the print screen button | 06:17 |
| chaospsyX | and show me | 06:17 |
| chaospsyX | no wait | 06:17 |
| jack123 | ok | 06:17 |
| chaospsyX | do this | 06:17 |
| killer_ | hista: system monitor ended up being what i wanted. TY | 06:17 |
| jack123 | ok tell me | 06:18 |
| chaospsyX | boot into the live cd and 'try ubuntu' | 06:18 |
| jack123 | ok then | 06:18 |
| chaospsyX | on the top panel click system > administration > network tools | 06:18 |
| jack123 | ok then | 06:18 |
| chaospsyX | theres a pull-down menu on 'network devices ' | 06:19 |
| jack123 | ok then | 06:19 |
| marenostrum | jack123, from what media did you install? I'm still curious about that 4 kernel choice. | 06:19 |
| Dark_Link | hey can some one tell me how to go to xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4 o n 11.0.4? | 06:19 |
| jack123 | from usb | 06:19 |
| Dark_Link | get | 06:19 |
| mkquist | anyone know how to reconfigure display resolution? Just had to change to onboard nvidia card as old nvidia add on failed... ubuntu 10.04 at grub screen its fine, but once it loads it only goes to 800x600 | 06:19 |
| chaospsyX | select (eth0) and see if it has been assigned an IP. It (eth0) should be on the list too. | 06:19 |
| jack123 | shall i show you the screen shots ..? | 06:20 |
| chaospsyX | try this first | 06:20 |
| hateball | mkquist: use nvidia-settings | 06:20 |
| Herbs | jack123 try the kernel ending -29 | 06:20 |
| jack123 | ook | 06:20 |
| jack123 | will be right back | 06:20 |
| chaospsyX | k | 06:20 |
| marenostrum | jack123, no need. try to let ubuntu decide almost all. Except your user name etc. | 06:20 |
| pie__ | ok now i have render artifacts :/ | 06:20 |
| jack123 | taking screen shots on ubuntu n windows are smiliar.? | 06:20 |
| chaospsyX | yup | 06:20 |
| mkquist | hateball: kinda of obvious... should try that.. ty | 06:20 |
| jack123 | cool | 06:20 |
| Herbs | jack123 use the one ending -29 theres been 2 relesed since | 06:21 |
| jack123 | paint is similar to .? | 06:21 |
| MonkeyDust | guys, about ubuntu cloud, how can i delete files without deleting them from my hard disk? | 06:21 |
| hateball | mkquist: you need to "gksudo nvidia-settings" for some settings to stick tho... I cant recall exactly which | 06:21 |
| marenostrum | jack123, Don't try to choose kernel type or something. Let the live CD decide. | 06:21 |
| mkquist | hateball: k | 06:21 |
| jack123 | ok | 06:21 |
| chaospsyX | jack123: the ip should not be 0.0.0.0 either | 06:22 |
| chaospsyX | it should be 192.168.1.xxx | 06:22 |
| Herbs | jack123 if you want to troubleshoot properly use the older kernel and work from there | 06:23 |
| === Logan_ is now known as ACCBat | ||
| chaospsyX | jack123: also do 'lspci' and see if your NIC is on there | 06:24 |
| chaospsyX | if its on there then it's loaded right? working properly? correct driver? Herbs? | 06:24 |
| chaospsyX | it will be listed by 'ethernet controller' | 06:25 |
| Dark_Link | whats the apt source so i can downgrade video drivers | 06:25 |
| Herbs | chaospsyX it should be | 06:25 |
| Dark_Link | for 11.0.4 | 06:25 |
| marenostrum | chaospsyX, ısn't it better if jack123 try live CD and if works let the CD make the installation in what way it sees OK? | 06:25 |
| chaospsyX | yeah | 06:25 |
| chaospsyX | he did that already and said internet wasn't working though right ? jack123? | 06:26 |
| marenostrum | yes. | 06:26 |
| Herbs | marenostrum no why let anything decide especially when you are trying to fix an issue! | 06:26 |
| chaospsyX | jack123: Have you booted into the live cd and done 'try ubuntu' ? | 06:26 |
| marenostrum | Herbs, Can you figure out the problem? | 06:27 |
| Herbs | not yet | 06:27 |

| chaospsyX | why was he saying his internet wasn't working???? | 06:27 |
| chaospsyX | and why would a live cd ask him to select a kernel image? he has left out some info | 06:28 |

| marenostrum | Herbs, Maybe you know: What's that 4 kernel options that Jack is saying? For may Debian and ubuntu installations up till now, I've never asked something like that. | 06:30 |
| chaospsyX | me neither | 06:30 |
| marenostrum | may=many | 06:30 |
| chaospsyX | i don't know what he was talking about..... | 06:30 |
| Herbs | marenostrum exactly thats why I think hes done something wrong | 06:30 |

| marenostrum | chaospsyX, First I mentioned alternate. Asked if you used that ISO. Then he asked what alternate is. | 06:32 |
| chaospsyX | oh lol | 06:33 |
| chaospsyX | nah i never used it | 06:33 |

| Herbs | marenostrum probablly but then again hes seeing 4 kernels from the install disk lol | 06:35 |
| chaospsyX | he probably doesn't even know what md5 is | 06:35 |
| soap | kk | 06:35 |
| pie_ | theres a sh script called Xreset, or should i just delete the xorg.conf file? | 06:35 |
| pie_ | acually no xorg.conf | 06:36 |
| chaospsyX | the version of syslinux he was seeing was not what his iso image should have contained either | 06:36 |
| chaospsyX | so......who knows | 06:36 |
| marenostrum | Herbs, :( I feel bad for him. I hope he'll solve the problem because I don't think that there's a real problem. (I mean, he should connect.) | 06:36 |
| Herbs | maybe hes downloaded a root kitted rogue install | 06:36 |

| jack123 | you mean 2.6.38.8.? | 07:17 |
| jack123 | yes entire disk | 07:17 |
| duende | hola?? ... | 07:18 |

| Starminn | duende: Va a #ubuntu-es. | 07:18 |
| marenostrum | jack123, lets check md5sum of the ISO now. | 07:19 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | alright, my friend is having issues with his computer, yet he feels that his knowledge of linux is insufficient for him to come to the IRC channel and ask for help, so I'm going to for him since I'm not sure what is up. He has a dual boot, windows 7 64bit and ubuntu 32bit. when he boots, he gets a "select OS" screen, and then when he chooses ubuntu, he gets taken to grub2, where he has to choose ubuntu again, but this leads to a blank | 07:19 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | screen with a blinking cursor and nothing happens (note that this was after he attempted to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04), choosing windows takes him back to the first boot selection, and choosing windows from there boots windows 7. He installed windows 7 first, and then ubuntu on a different partition on the same hard drive. | 07:19 |
| jack123 | ok | 07:19 |
| marenostrum | jack123, do you know how to do? | 07:19 |
| Herbs | jack123 2.6.38-8-generic what install are you using? | 07:19 |

| bullgard4 | boomboorum: You could purge your Gwibber and re-install without theFacebook plugin first. See if that works. | 07:38 |
| boomboorum | bullgard4: not sure how to do that. What is purge? | 07:39 |

| jack123 | perfect.? | 07:39 |
| bullgard4 | boomboorum: to purge - to completely remove (the package, using for example Synaptic). Ok? | 07:40 |

| jack123 | are you sure chaos.? | 07:42 |
| chaospsyX | wait, let marenostrum see what the md5 is | 07:43 |
| bullgard4 | Rehan: Try to use System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator | 07:43 |
| chaospsyX | if they match | 07:43 |
| jack123 | how to find out the original md5.? | 07:43 |
| Starminn | Herbs: dpkg -p <package> versus sudo apt-get purge <package>? | 07:43 |
| chaospsyX | there is a file | 07:44 |
| mk0 | did anyone meet the error with ICEauthority after gnome3 installation on 11.04? | 07:44 |
| Herbs | starminn not to sure tbh Im used to yum and just getting used to ubuntu but Ive used debian before so would use dpkg but thats a personal preference | 07:44 |
| mk0 | jack123, unetbootin. | 07:44 |
| chaospsyX | jack123: checking now | 07:45 |
| mk0 | better with not used usb flash or cd | 07:45 |
| jack123 | ok | 07:45 |
| Rehan | bullgard4: that asks for an ISO...is there a way to do it using dd? | 07:45 |
| chaospsyX | jack123: they match | 07:45 |
| chaospsyX | what program did you use to make the usb ? | 07:46 |
| bullgard4 | Rehan: There is. But I do not know any details. | 07:46 |
| Starminn | Herbs: Ah. | 07:46 |
| jack123 | coool | 07:47 |
| chaospsyX | remake the usb with unetbootin jack | 07:47 |
| Maahes | is there a way to tell Synaptic to just download, and not install marked packages? | 07:47 |
| marenostrum | jack123, md5sum is correct. | 07:47 |
| bullgard4 | Rehan: One dd command alone is not enough. | 07:47 |
| jack123 | i used the same which stated on the ubuntu website | 07:47 |
| jack123 | yeah thanks marenostrum | 07:47 |
| jack123 | so whats next | 07:47 |
| Rehan | bullgard4: whats that mean | 07:48 |
| chaospsyX | remake the usb | 07:48 |
| chaospsyX | use unetbootin | 07:48 |
| jack123 | ok | 07:48 |
| marenostrum | jack123, original here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/MD5SUMS | 07:48 |
| chaospsyX | make sure you format the usb | 07:48 |
| jack123 | ok | 07:48 |
| chaospsyX | as fat32 | 07:48 |
| mk0 | jack123, use only new usb flash or cd. or you will get errors constantly. | 07:48 |
| jack123 | usb only supports fat32 | 07:48 |
| chaospsyX | oh,lol | 07:49 |
| jack123 | ha ha ha | 07:49 |
| mk0 | or good quality. | 07:49 |
| chaospsyX | can you burn discs jack ? | 07:49 |
| jack123 | yes i can | 07:49 |
| chaospsyX | burn the iso to a cd | 07:49 |
| jack123 | shall i burn .? | 07:49 |
| chaospsyX | frees up the usb too | 07:49 |
| chaospsyX | yeah burn it and install it | 07:50 |
| bullgard4 | Rehan: That means that you will have to do more operations than one dd command. Because the data on an USB stick is organized differently from a hard disk partition. | 07:50 |
| chaospsyX | burn as a data disc | 07:50 |
| jack123 | i burn using alochol | 07:50 |
| chaospsyX | ok | 07:50 |

| DocPlatypus | situation: box has been running 9.10 until a couple days ago, when I decided to finally upgrade to 10.04 LTS. ever since then I have had sound switching over to "dummy output" for no reason I can figure out. where to begin troubleshooting this and/or how do I get it back to my soundcard when it does? | 08:01 |
| marenostrum | chaospsyX, ot should obviously be NOT data BIT ISO image. | 08:02 |
| marenostrum | *but | 08:02 |
| jack123 | no its not mare | 08:03 |
| noo | hello I was wondering what exactly is saved in the locatedb, because I know that programs like these application quick launchers use them to find the commands. I tried to write such a thingy for fun using /usr/bin and /usr/sbin as my sources for applications, but somehow there are quiet a lot of things that are not really needed to be found by this kind of an application and that aren't found by common ones.Do they search in different places o | 08:03 |
| noo | r do they just filter in a proper way? | 08:03 |
| Herbs | docplatypus please provide your kernel version , and hardware information I cant help with desktop issues but it will help those that can | 08:03 |
| marenostrum | jack123, Why? | 08:03 |
| jack123 | i am burning the iso directly | 08:03 |
| jack123 | same process which you stated | 08:03 |
| chaospsyX | good | 08:03 |
| marenostrum | jack123, OK it means you are burning as an image not as a data CD. | 08:04 |
| jack123 | yeah i am burning it as an image at slow speed | 08:04 |
| DocPlatypus | Herbs: sure. kernel -- 2.6.32-31-generic, audio -- 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) | 08:04 |
| chaospsyX | yeah follow the page he pointed you to jack on burning iso | 08:04 |
| chaospsyX | k | 08:04 |
| jack123 | ok burning finished | 08:04 |
| marenostrum | jack123, OK. Perfect. Its what it should be. | 08:04 |
| chaospsyX | install that sucka | 08:04 |
| jack123 | ha ha | 08:04 |
| jack123 | yeah that sucka wasted hell lotta time of mine | 08:05 |
| marenostrum | jack123, While installing, if you like, check CD for defects. There's such a option at first. lets guarantee. | 08:05 |
| jack123 | ok | 08:07 |
| jack123 | brb after the install | 08:07 |

| freakynl | Hi, I have 2 q's. I upgraded a 10.10 server edition to 11.04, ever since /var/log/messages is empty, is that normal? Restarting rsyslogd also doesn't make entries appear (syslog etc. are being logged to) | 08:14 |
| freakynl | secondly, I notice my md sets get a rebuild signal (probably for scrubbing). Has anyone any idea how that gets started? Don't see much in the crontabs except a scan to check if they haven't been degraded and no settings concerning it in mdadm.conf either | 08:15 |
| marenostrum | Browser, Hi! | 08:16 |
| Herbs | freakynl it would be empty after an upgrade I think | 08:16 |
| Joker_99 | thats one thing i hate about irc everyone in the support rooms says "google it" or speak proper english (after they dont talk for 3 hours) | 08:16 |
| freakynl | Herbs: it's been 4 days | 08:16 |
| freakynl | Joker_99: depends on the support room, or well, mostly the active people in it | 08:16 |

| freakynl | Herbs: vcftpd is running, (no clue why... I never added it to start automatically) but it isn't reachable (firewalled :D) | 08:18 |
| Herbs | freaknyl /var/log/messages would log ftp connections so soething is wrong | 08:19 |
| Herbs | freaknyl what happens when you ftp localhost from the box | 08:19 |

| Herbs | freaknyl would you mind giving me the servers ip? | 08:20 |

| luqui | but if i kill it it just respawns, and there is no option for it in gnome-session-properties | 08:22 |

| marenostrum | red, You can upgrade. You should backup your perdonal data files if you like to be on the safe side, especially if you don't have a seperate home partition. You don't need to backup any setting as far as I know. | 08:24 |
| niklasfi | Herbs:*gnome-terminal | 08:24 |
| freakynl | no rsyslogd should write the logs, normally hits on the firewall (which is everything except 2 ports from 2 specific IPs) get logged in messages too, this no longer happens either (and dmesg is *filled* with firewall hits) | 08:24 |

| abhinav_singh | is it necessary to purge openoffice before installing libre office | 08:34 |
| Herbs | niklasfi looks like an ubuntu bug then | 08:34 |
| Herbs | or gnome3 bug but why its messing with the terminal I have no idea | 08:35 |
| marenostrum | abhinav_singh, Not a must, for some time in the past I had both installed. But purge remove would be better not to interfere anything to Libre Office from Open Office settings or files etc. | 08:35 |
| marenostrum | abhinav_singh, In my opinion. I'm not an expert. | 08:36 |
| Herbs | niklasfi probably the strat up script and when it enters lvl 5 | 08:36 |

| marenostrum | abhinav_singh, Then, do nothing to Open Office and plainly install Libre Office. After that, you may purge both and install what you like if you want a cleanly purged install. | 08:39 |

| bullgard4 | red I see. The worst bugs are in Unity. GNOME 3 is a project in progress and has many bugs as well. These 2 are the biggest culprits. | 08:44 |

| Herbs | bobby_ it means it doesent know what to do with the file system | 08:46 |
| Jordan_U | BOBBY_: Don't use wubi. Install a normal dual boot by booting from the Ubuntu install CD and running the installer there. | 08:46 |
| BOBBY_ | i cant find an option to do that | 08:46 |
| Jordan_U | BOBBY_: Do you know how to burn a .iso file to a CD? | 08:47 |
| marenostrum | BOBBY_, ıs it a must to use Wubi way? can't you give a try to CD dual-boot installation if you can't solve Wubi problem? | 08:47 |
| BOBBY_ | Yes I have made a USB Pen but when I did wubi I erased it | 08:47 |
| Jordan_U | BOBBY_: Make another bootable flash drive with Ubuntu and boot from it to install Ubuntu to your hard drive. | 08:48 |
| red | Only time I've had problems installing from USB was when I checked the checbox to make it possible to save temp files on the USB stick | 08:48 |

| marenostrum | miles__, Go to system settings > appearence. Choose the theme. Then there's a bullet at the bottom saying something as "customize" (mine is Turkish locale, I retranslate).

| casey | marenostrum: the problem is I have a custom jpeg that I would like to print out. However, no matter what program I use, it always makes a border. | 09:03 |
| robin0800 | casey, you should find that in printer properties if your printer supports this | 09:03 |

| robin0800 | casey, have you got the best driver? hp should be well supported | 09:12 |
| gartral | DocPlatypus: I had the same problem with my intel audio chips. | 09:13 |
| casey | robin0800: how could I check? | 09:13 |
| robin0800 | casey in printer properties | 09:13 |
| DocPlatypus | gartral: what'd you do to fix it or work around it? | 09:13 |
| Herbs | lutz reloging wont make a diff | 09:13 |
| Herbs | the dir is owened by root | 09:13 |
| casey | robin0800: ok so should it match my printer you're saying? | 09:13 |
| llutz | bgoldsmith: how did you add yourself to the webdev-group? | 09:13 |
| gartral | mgj: the fastes way would too be logout, click yor name, change the dropdown menu at the bottom too "Ubuntu Classic" log in and you have panels! | 09:14 |
| Herbs | this isnt desktop ubuntu | 09:14 |
| robin0800 | casey yes and if you can't try hp's site | 09:14 |
| llutz | Herbs: the group has write-permissions, so what? | 09:14 |
| sdollins | I swear to $deity, I am going to scream. :( Everytime I reboot something else breaks lol.. | 09:14 |
| Herbs | bgoldsmith if you want ownership log in as rott and chown user:user dir | 09:15 |
| quiescens | they don't want ownership | 09:15 |
| llutz | Herbs: read this again <bgoldsmith> drwxrwxr-x 6 root webdev 4096 2011-05-03 10:59 srv | 09:15 |
| quiescens | they want the group to be able to write to it, which it should if they are properly in the group | 09:15 |
| Herbs | llutz and that would depend on the group permissions | 09:15 |
| casey | robin0800: I'm trying right now :). | 09:15 |
| mgj | gartral, heh, but i cannot do that when 11.10 comes out, i should probably learn how to do it with unity too =) | 09:15 |
| marenostrum | sdollins, What's broken lastly? | 09:16 |
| llutz | Herbs: do you need further explanation of that line? owner root, group webdev WITH write-perm | 09:16 |
| Herbs | llutz no but I think you do | 09:16 |
| casey | robin0800: I found a CUPS version which seems to be much better. However, I don't quite see the use of their "custom" sizes. Like in the other one. | 09:16 |
| sdollins | Well, wifi randomly decides to work, this time i have no borders around windows ( can't remember the technical name) | 09:17 |
| sdollins | Everything went to hell after I installed some updates earlier. | 09:17 |
| robin0800 | casey, as long as you can select borderless does it matter? | 09:17 |
| SuperLag | Anyone here ever set up an Ubuntu box as a wireless access point? | 09:17 |
| bgoldsmith | llutz: thanks! logging off and logging back in solved the problem. I can now write to the directory | 09:17 |
| SuperLag | I know meganerd has, but he's not around - it seems. | 09:18 |
| llutz | bgoldsmith: you always have to relogin after changing your groups to make the change active | 09:18 |
| casey | robin0800: Well I don't have to many borderless options. And the major problem is it's an akward size: 5.5" x 8.5" | 09:18 |
| sdollins | Woo! It's all working now. - reboot. | 09:18 |
| marenostrum | sdollins, On maverick on on Natty? (beginning of the mess) | 09:18 |
| gartral | mgj: the fastes way would too be logout, click yor name, change the dropdown menu at the bottom too "Ubuntu Classic" log in and you have panels! | 09:18 |
| robin0800 | casey, do hp have linux drivers for your printer? | 09:19 |
| mathews | any video converter to suggest to make mp4 for Nokia E71 | 09:19 |
| mgj | gartral, thats cheating | 09:19 |
| pennnn | hi | 09:19 |
| sdollins | I was on maverick, I upgraded to natty a couple days ago it went to hell but started working right after a fight, and after some updates today it's even worse. | 09:19 |
| pennnn | wquestion | 09:19 |
| marenostrum | sdollins, ıs it OK now? After reboot? | 09:19 |
| casey | robin0800: I believe I did download an hp version when you pointed that out early. It comes from CUPS. | 09:19 |
| SuperLag | sdollins: good to know. I was thinking of upgrading my Maverick system to Natty. Now I'll wait. :) | 09:19 |
| pennnn | question | 09:19 |
| Liera | How do I clear the most recently used program list in unity? | 09:20 |
| Al_nz1 | is there a way when doing a lot of copy n pasting to say, use F1-F10 to assign multiple clip boards which F1 - F10 paste data? | 09:20 |
| gartral | mgj: not really.. considering that Unity doesn't have any facilities too change the number/layout of workspaces | 09:20 |
| sdollins | Nope marenostrum | 09:20 |
| casey | robin0800: One thing that is driving me nuts is that f-spot shows major potential for working, however it always crashes when I try to print. Any ideas on that? | 09:20 |
| sdollins | I rebooted and wifi doesn't work lol | 09:20 |
| bgoldsmith | llutz: hmmm what are the data structures/files that get updated on reboot? | 09:20 |
| sdollins | It doesn't seem to matter if the proprietary broadcom drivers are enabled or not, it just randomly decides to work. | 09:20 |
| llutz | bgoldsmith: its the login shell reading the new environment | 09:20 |
| mgj | gartral, really ?! are you sure there is no such facility? | 09:20 |
| Herbs | sdollins reboot your router first before wasting time | 09:21 |
| robin0800 | casey, in job options I've got scale to fit | 09:21 |
| sdollins | My router works fine. | 09:21 |
| sdollins | I've already tested it. | 09:21 |
| gartral | mgj: Unity is QUITE limited when compared too Gnome | 09:21 |
| marenostrum | sdollins, I have a report from my brother-in-law. he's on Maverick and says that wireless is broken. It interrupts randomly. I'll go and see. Your sitiation sounded similar. | 09:21 |
| pennnn | question | 09:21 |
| casey | robin0800: I see that as well. Unfortunately no luck with that so far. | 09:21 |
| pennnn | question | 09:21 |
| bgoldsmith | llutz: are the groups that a user belong to a part of the environment? | 09:21 |
| Herbs | by not connecting to the internet? | 09:21 |
| mgj | My god, that is beyond retarded. Remind me again why this change to unity was a great idea? | 09:21 |
| pennnn | i dont lilke unity, what alterantives are there | 09:21 |
| quiescens | bgoldsmith: with regards to group membership, its not rebooting as such, but your group membership is read when login first applies your user, and then every process from there on inherits those groups | 09:21 |
| sdollins | pennnn: KDE, Xfce, etc. | 09:22 |
| gartral | pennnn: logout, click name, dropdown box at the bottom can be changed too Ubuntu Classic. I use that | 09:22 |
| pennnn | sdollns: cant i go on usinggnome 2 !! in 11.10 ? | 09:22 |
| llutz | bgoldsmith: kind of, all those settings were read when you login. | 09:22 |
| sdollins | pennnn: they're removing the classic desktop in 11.10 | 09:22 |
| mathews | pennnn: u can select ubuntu cliassic from login window | 09:22 |
| gartral | pennnn: read my instructions | 09:22 |
| Liera | Can anyone show me how to clear recently used program in the list in unity? like Clear Recently Items in gnome! | 09:23 |
| marenostrum | pennnn, And of course, there's "ubuntu Classical" interface which is mainly Gnome2 interface. Its already installed. You can chose it from login screen. | 09:23 |
| gartral | sdollins: they can remove from the pre-installed envirnment, but I will never give up my gnome! | 09:23 |
| llutz | bgoldsmith: tbh, i can't explain that in details off hand. | 09:23 |
| robin0800 | gar | 09:23 |
| casey | robin0800: gar? | 09:24 |
| sdollins | gartral: I feel the same way. I don't like GNOME-Shell, Unity, KDE, or any other the others I've tried. At this point, I'm about ready to cough up cash for a macbook pro lol. | 09:24 |
| daxroc | Any one here using an nvidia quadro (nvs 295) or like with a dual monitor setup on 11.04 ? | 09:24 |
| pennnn | they REMOVE !! | 09:24 |
| jiltdil | which is better unity or gnome? | 09:24 |
| sdollins | marenostrum: any luck with that? | 09:24 |
| pennnn | gnome classic | 09:24 |
| pennnn | from 11.10 | 09:24 |
| robin0800 | gartral, unity 3d and unity 2d in 11.10 | 09:24 |
| mathews | any video converter to make mp4 for Nokia E71 | 09:24 |
| Herbs | bgoldsmith lets just say the perms on that box are to lax | 09:24 |

| pennnn | gnome classic | 09:24 |
| sdollins | I reboot over and over. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. ._. | 09:24 |
| pennnn | they REMOVE !! | 09:24 |
| pennnn | from 11.10 | 09:24 |
| bgoldsmith | llutz,quiescens: hmm ... so the groups command just reads the /etc/groups file. | 09:25 |
| Herbs | I wouldnt let your group have permission changes | 09:25 |
| marenostrum | sdollins, He doesn't know GNU/Linux well. I should pay a visit. I don't know what is broken. | 09:25 |
| pennnn | they REMOVE !! | 09:25 |
| pennnn | gnome classic | 09:25 |
| pennnn | from 11.10 | 09:25 |
| bgoldsmith | herbs: so what would be a good setting for /srv/ | 09:25 |
| llutz | bgoldsmith: yes but it won't check if those entries are active. "id" does | 09:25 |
| jiltdil | pennn:please stop repeating | 09:25 |
| robin0800 | pennnn, yes | 09:25 |
| sdollins | I really regret upgrading to natty :/ | 09:25 |
| Herbs | root:root | 09:25 |
| pennnn | can i install it | 09:25 |
| casey | robin0800: any other ideas? | 09:25 |
| sdollins | my SO talked me into it really. | 09:25 |
| pennnn | they REMOVE it | 09:25 |
| gartral | sdollins: why? | 09:26 |
| sdollins | pennnn: I imagine someone will provide a way to put gnome2 back. | 09:26 |
| sdollins | gartral: everything keeps breaking! | 09:26 |
| mathews | pennnn: dont worry, u can still install gnome by PPA | 09:26 |
| robin0800 | casey, hp site linux support? | 09:26 |
| pennnn | cool | 09:26 |
| bgoldsmith | herbs: what if the webdev group wants to add a new website inside /srv (webdev = webadmin group) | 09:26 |
| casey | robin0800: Alright thanks for your help. | 09:26 |
| OerHeks | pennnn no they don't. logout, select your name, then language and GDM selection will appear | 09:26 |
| marenostrum | pennnn, Wer'll find a solution. :) We have time for 11.10. For now, we have Classic at hand. No problem. :) | 09:26 |
| gartral | sdollins: i haven't noticed any breakage, but then again, i did a clean install. | 09:26 |
| pennnn | ok | 09:26 |
| pennnn | thanks | 09:26 |
| duende | hi | 09:26 |
| Herbs | so what does webdav need to do? | 09:26 |
| sdollins | I don't have time to do a clean install really but it looks like I have no other choice. | 09:27 |
| quiescens | bgoldsmith: no, the groups command lists the groups that the process is in (which should be whatever it inherits from the shell or whatever you used to run it) | 09:27 |
| daxroc | I'm not impresed with natty, It's very primitive for a mainstream release | 09:27 |
| herol3oy | I just downloaded "ubuntu-11.04-alternate-i386.iso" to upgrade my ubuntu10.10 without any downloading, but when I mounted it and typed "gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade", it wanted to connect to internet and download all the packages again? how can I upgrade my ubuntu10.10 to 11.4 without any downloading? | 09:27 |
| duende | some have a problem in 11.04 with video and VIA ?? reboot X | 09:27 |
| gartral | granted, the Natty are SLOOOOOW right now 'cause all the upgrades | 09:27 |
| pennnn | but is better to the another desktop environment | 09:27 |
| pennnn | because ppa arent so good | 09:27 |
| sdollins | How did a bug like being unable to rearrange the windows in the windows list applet not get fixed? | 09:28 |
| pennnn | but is better to the another desktop environment | 09:28 |
| gartral | daxroc: why do you say that? | 09:28 |
| pennnn | because ppa are not so good | 09:28 |
| marenostrum | sdollins, Try to figure out the problem and bug report if you can do. But, clean install is the solution, of course. :) | 09:28 |
| sdollins | It was reported in early January according to launchpad. | 09:28 |
| bgoldsmith | quiescens: the "id" command did not show the group change before re-login, but the "groups" command did | 09:28 |
| Herbs | sdollins because its a minor bug | 09:28 |
| herol3oy | no idea? | 09:28 |
| pennnn | they REMOVE !! | 09:28 |
| bgoldsmith | herbs: the webdev group needs to be able to create directories inside /srv | 09:28 |
| pennnn | gnome classic | 09:28 |
| pennnn | from 11.10 | 09:28 |
| sdollins | Minor or not, i would consider it to be important functionality. | 09:28 |
| herol3oy | still no answer? | 09:29 |
| gartral | pennnn: that's a whole 6 months away. | 09:29 |
| marenostrum | sdollins, Which one? wireless thing? Can you supply me with the address? | 09:29 |
| pennnn | is it better to change | 09:29 |
| Herbs | so make owenership of w/srv webdav:webdav | 09:29 |
| sdollins | The issue with the window list. | 09:29 |
| xs3ns3 | so what we use instead of unity, since my laptop says does not support unity? | 09:29 |
| pennnn | to kde | 09:29 |
| sdollins | I haven't found anything in relation to the wireless issue. | 09:29 |
| dijonyummy | i think i may try 11.04 in a month with gnome classic, then when 11.10 comes around not sure maybe go to kde, or other distro | 09:29 |
| herol3oy | I just downloaded "ubuntu-11.04-alternate-i386.iso" to upgrade my ubuntu10.10 without any downloading, but when I mounted it and typed "gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade", it wanted to connect to internet and download all the packages again? how can I upgrade my ubuntu10.10 to 11.4 without any downloading? | 09:29 |
| pennnn | they REMOVE !! | 09:29 |
| pennnn | gnome classic | 09:29 |
| marenostrum | sdollins, I see. | 09:29 |
| pennnn | from 11.10 | 09:29 |
| Starminn | pennnn: That is a personal choice which you must make yourself. Try it out and see if you like it. Also, that is off-topic for here. | 09:29 |
| pennnn | is it better to change | 09:29 |
| sdollins | It didn't start until updates I installed today and I had just updated like 1 day ago I suspect it's not out there. | 09:29 |

| pennnn | PPAs are incompatible | 09:30 |
| daxroc | gartral: Lots of things are missing. decent monitor detection, simple customisation for little anoyances of unity. don't get me wrong it's great but lacks a complete feature set I expected | 09:30 |
| herol3oy | no answer yet? | 09:31 |
| pennnn | herol3oy STOP IT | 09:31 |
| herol3oy | stop what? | 09:31 |
| sdollins | marenostrum: I can't remember if you said or not but is he using broadcom drivers? | 09:31 |
| pennnn | spamming around | 09:31 |
| Starminn | herol3oy: You're not doing anything wrong. | 09:31 |
| xs3ns3 | this new release, personally i dont like, first got hang up after the install, was not able to boot (so i had to delete the old one......finally manage to install this natty versin just to find out its like a damm vista | 09:31 |
| sdollins | pennnn: you're doing the same thing so I wouldn't complain. | 09:31 |
| herol3oy | :O i'm not spaning | 09:31 |
| Starminn | pennnn: Stop what you're doing. Now. | 09:31 |
| xs3ns3 | where can i take off that bloody bar | 09:32 |
| pennnn | starminn i report you now | 09:32 |
| marenostrum | pennnn, 1- Don't flood. 2- pps is ppa. No one says that PPAs will be compatible. Ask that PPA!s owner. | 09:32 |
| Starminn | pennnn: Go for it, buddy. | 09:32 |
| herol3oy | pennnn: not to ask question you mean? | 09:32 |
| peteraz | i dont know if anyone else has the same problem - after upgrading to 11.04 on my netbook all i can see in GUI is the background and the coursor. If i go ctr alt f2 i can go to console but i do not know how to fix my GUI | 09:32 |
| pennnn | [10:31] <herol3oy> no answer yet? | 09:32 |
| pennnn | !wait | 09:32 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 09:32 |
| pennnn | !ask | 09:32 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 09:32 |
| genewitch | herol3oy: put it on a usb drive and boot with it in | 09:32 |
| marenostrum | sdollins, Most probably. Yes. :) | 09:32 |
| xs3ns3 | u ubuntu developters, want me to go back to windows or what | 09:32 |
| gartral | daxroc: those two examples are driver and Unity related. I notice the opasite, things worrk better in Natty, it's also faster. but to each they're own | 09:32 |
| sdollins | marenostrum: It appears after I upgraded to natty it stopped using the broadcom drivers but they stayed enabled. | 09:32 |
| ultrav1olet | I want to compile an application from sources and it requires curl devel library and includes, debian has two of them libcurl4-gnutls-dev and libcurl4-openssl-dev | 09:33 |

| pennnn | why cant get an answere ? | 09:33 |

| jack123 | hey marenostrum | 09:34 |
| marenostrum | sdollins, good news for his problem. So maybe when I upgrade him there won't be such a problem. | 09:34 |
| Herbs | ultraviolet if your compiling it will be libcurl4-openssl-dev | 09:34 |
| sdollins | Actually... I just noticed, my wired network isn't freaking working either. | 09:34 |
| pennnn | why cant get an answere ? | 09:34 |

| Starminn | pennnn: You cannot get an answer because you are nto asking a question. | 09:34 |
| sdollins | I think I'm about to cry lol.. | 09:34 |
| pennnn | MY QUESTION IS | 09:34 |
| marenostrum | jack123, How did you do?? | 09:34 |
| pennnn | SHOULD i change to kde !!!! | 09:34 |
| xs3ns3 | on this nathy version are u allowed to move ur gui? move the bars etc? | 09:34 |
| jack123 | i am done with ubuntu its not working and it messed up my win boots are well | 09:34 |
| herol3oy | genewitch: you mean I should move the iso file to a USB flash memroy and then mount it? | 09:34 |
| pennnn | i asked 3 hours ago | 09:34 |
| jack123 | as well* | 09:35 |
| Starminn | pennnn: Nobody can make thew decision for you. Have you tried it out? | 09:35 |

| pennnn | Starminn: i dont like unity and gnome 3. and i wont get into trouble with any ppas in 11.10 | 09:35 |
| llutz | pennnn: nobody can answer that. its like "should i go fishing?", your decision | 09:35 |
| daxroc | gartral: It's more than a driver problem, and shipping with experimental drivers. Is that a good situation to start in (nouvaeu). As for faster on a core i7 here and performance is a little slow. If I wanted more I would custom comple tho , I'll take ease of maintenence for one box over speed :) | 09:35 |
| xs3ns3 | i think im in ubuntu classic since the laptop at start pointed me that cant run unity so im running on classic | 09:35 |
| maedox | pennnn: Log in with Ubuntu Classic as the session then.... | 09:35 |
| gartral | !classic | xs3ns3 | 09:35 |
| ubottu | xs3ns3: 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. | 09:35 |
| quiescens | don't go fishing, the weather's not good for it | 09:35 |
| marenostrum | jack123, Sorry to hear that. I wish I were near you. Isn't there someone near you who can help? | 09:36 |
| sjuxax | I am using natty server in a VM. I cahnged the MAC address from what it was installed with and now eth0 won't appear. How do I fix this? I've tried dpkg-reconfigure network to no win | 09:36 |
| sjuxax | lspci shows it as an Ethernet controller, but does not show in ifconfig | 09:36 |
| pennnn | maedox.: there is no classical in 11.10 ! | 09:36 |
| Starminn | pennnn: 11.10 is still 6 months away. | 09:36 |
| maedox | pennnn: this is ubuntu not ubuntu+1 | 09:36 |
| genewitch | xs3ns3: i think that's the netbook desktop | 09:36 |
| jack123 | nope | 09:36 |
| Psychobudgie | xs3ns3, logout then log back in and double check that ubuntu classic is selected otherwise it will throw you into 2d unity as I am aware | 09:36 |
| genewitch | xs3ns3: at least, they looked the same to me | 09:36 |
| pennnn | yes but i have a work shop here and the workers | 09:36 |
| sdollins | I think maybe telling him they were removing it 11.10 was a bad idea xd | 09:36 |
| Starminn | maedox: #ubuntu_1 is invitation-only for now | 09:36 |
| sdollins | it in* | 09:36 |
| pennnn | i cant say there, OH today, stop gnome, now unity | 09:36 |
| xs3ns3 | gonna check that....... thks | 09:36 |
| pennnn | it must be planned | 09:37 |
| pennnn | long time before | 09:37 |
| gartral | daxroc: true, but i'm on an Aton N455.. and Pinetrail IGP.. my drivers work out of the kernel! | 09:37 |
| pennnn | so that why i asked, if it a ppa is good or not, so if it is NOT got, i would change environment | 09:37 |
| pennnn | s | 09:37 |
| Starminn | pennnn: So start the switch now. You have 6 months. You're making a switch either way. You're either switching to Gnome3, KDE, or Unity. Choose one, and stick with it. | 09:37 |
| jack123 | marenostrum how to remove ubuntu boot information from windows boot | 09:37 |
| herol3oy | genewitch: Actually I have got the iso files! I just want to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.4 without any downloding packages? | 09:37 |
| Herbs | sjuax you need to make sure the vm has the same mac | 09:38 |
| Technikfreak | hello is here someone from czech please pm me short thx (sorry for off topic) | 09:38 |
| herol3oy | genewitch: i just mounted the iso file and run this " gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade" | 09:38 |
| gartral | herol3oy: that's not possible, even with the alternate install cd. you still need a network | 09:38 |
| marenostrum | jack123, Would you like me to help step by step on private IRC converstion. From Windows maybe. And wgat's messed up with your Windows installation? | 09:38 |
| pennnn | Starminn: i tested gnome 3 a long time, and i like it, but it isnt in ubuntu ppas, and the ppa seems buggy | 09:38 |
| maedox | pennnn: Adding the Gnome PPA shouldn't be a problem if that's what you're asking | 09:38 |
| jack123 | sure | 09:38 |
| jack123 | how to do that | 09:38 |
| * vibhav is ready to help others! | 09:38 | |
| herol3oy | genewitch: no anyother way? | 09:38 |
| pennnn | maedox: yes but i want gnome 2 | 09:38 |
| Starminn | pennnn: That's because Canonical does not support Gnome3. All other distros do, though. | 09:38 |
| genewitch | herol3oy: unplug your internet then... then it can't download. or, put it on a USB drive like i said and boot from it, and run the normal upgrade that won't break everything | 09:39 |
| Starminn | pennnn: You could try Xubuntu. Very similar to Gnome 2 | 09:39 |
| * vibhav is ready to help others! | 09:39 | |
| Psychobudgie | jack123 : if you wish to go back to single windows boot, boot from your windows cd and choose to boot into dos recovery and type fixmbr, that should do the trick | 09:39 |
| sdollins | I tried to use Xubuntu but missed some stuff :( | 09:39 |
| sdollins | Even Ambiance lol | 09:39 |
| vibhav | pennnn you want to use gnome 2 in ubuntu 11.04? | 09:39 |
| genewitch | does ubuntu have an issue booting past the 1TB mark? | 09:39 |
| daxroc | Is unity not a bastadisation of gnome3 ? | 09:39 |
| pennnn | vibhav | 09:39 |
| vibhav | pennnn you want to use gnome 2 in ubuntu 11.04 | 09:39 |
| pennnn | i want use !! gnome 2 in 11.10 | 09:39 |
| marenostrum | jack123, have a look here: http://expertester.wordpress.com/2008/07/27/how-to-remove-ubuntu-boot-loader-xp-and-vista/ | 09:39 |
| xs3ns3 | thanks for pointing me out to log out and relog on classic, helped me, was about to install 10 again... | 09:39 |
| Starminn | No, he's up in arms about how 11.10 won't have classic GNOME even when the Gnome devs themselves don't support it anymore. | 09:39 |
| vibhav | pennnn yes? | 09:40 |
| Starminn | vibhav: ^ | 09:40 |
| pennnn | yes vibhav | 09:40 |
| Psychobudgie | daxroc, unity is a shell for gnome 2, gnome-shell is a shell for gnome 3 | 09:40 |
| vibhav | pennnn in the login session chose Ubuntu Classic where Ubuntu is written | 09:40 |
| Psychobudgie | xs3ns3, no problem | 09:40 |
| daxroc | Psychobudgie: very gnome shell like tho | 09:40 |
| pennnn | vibhav 11.10 hasnt got it !!!! | 09:40 |
| xs3ns3 | +karma hehe | 09:40 |
| Psychobudgie | xs3ns3, they don't exactly make it obvious | 09:40 |
| llutz | pennnn: /j +ubuntu+1 to discuss 11.10 | 09:40 |
| marenostrum | jack123, This is better, it doesn't need Win CD: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=180607 | 09:40 |
| Starminn | vibhav: No, it's about 11.10 that he's freaking out about because 11.10 won't have "Classic Gnome" | 09:40 |
| Psychobudgie | daxroc, it's nothing like gnome-shell | 09:40 |
| syrinx_ | llutz: hehe | 09:41 |
| pennnn | i cant believe it ANYBody says crap | 09:41 |
| pennnn | really | 09:41 |
| genewitch | llutz: +i | 09:41 |
| Starminn | llutz: It's invitation-only. | 09:41 |
| Psychobudgie | daxroc, I'm using gnome 3 and gnome-shell from the ppa here | 09:41 |
| pennnn | the one say i should go ubuntu+1 but its invite | 09:41 |
| bgoldsmith | quiescens,llutz: I just tried googling, trying to find out where the environment for a process is stored ... what data structures, what source do I need to look at? | 09:41 |
| Herbs | do people not know what LTS is? | 09:41 |
| pennnn | the one say something about 11.04 | 09:41 |
| llutz | Starminn: its offtopic HERE | 09:41 |
| cryptodira | hi folks.... just upgraded to 10.10 ..... all went well... except, i am NOT seeing xscreensaver under system preferences.... synaptic says it is installed....how can it be accessed? 10.10 amd/64 | 09:41 |
| pennnn | !lts | Herbs | 09:41 |
| ubottu | Herbs: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 09:41 |
| Herbs | Ive been using ubuntu for about a week been a Linux user for longer | 09:41 |
| daxroc | Psychobudgie: my bad , been a while from when I tested last | 09:42 |
| zvacet | jack123: do http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p18.html#MbrFix.exe and after that you can remove ubuntu | 09:42 |
| vibhav | pennnn I am too angry | 09:42 |
| Starminn | llutz: Umm... I agree. Which is why I'm trying to explain to him that it's a long way away. HE's asking if he should switch to KDE. I told him 11.10 is still 6 months away anyway, but if he wants to switch to KDE he should try it. | 09:42 |
| vibhav | pennnn perhaps you could install it | 09:42 |
| genewitch | wqas 6.10 the last LTS before lucid? | 09:42 |
| Psychobudgie | daxroc, imo, and this is my opinion, unity isn't fit to lace gnome 3's rather lovely shoes | 09:42 |
| pennnn | vibhav: yes but if its possible, my question: is it safe ? | 09:42 |
| vibhav | pennnn might be | 09:42 |
| Herbs | kde sucks if you want to change desktop try xfce | 09:43 |
| pennnn | vibhav: because ppa are very incompatibl e | 09:43 |
| zvacet | genewitch: 8.04 | 09:43 |
| genewitch | zounds. | 09:43 |
| genewitch | cloud out! | 09:43 |
| marenostrum | jack123, Grub (bootloder) problem can be solved. If I were you I'll give a try to repair it before uninstalling it. I can help if you like. | 09:43 |
| * Kasztan85 kasztan85 | 09:44 | |
| Kasztan85 | dsf | 09:44 |
| llutz | bgoldsmith: "Linux login process" should give some first hints | 09:44 |
| pennnn | Starminn can i ask you something | 09:44 |
| pennnn | Starminn do you use gnome ? | 09:44 |
| marenostrum | jack123, All we need is you'll boot from live CD and we'll find a way to communicate with you while you are there. | 09:44 |
| marenostrum | Do you have a second machine? | 09:44 |
| Starminn | pennnn: I do use Gnome. I am on 10.10 because I do not wish to switch to 11.04. If I had a choice I would be using Gnome3 but it is not supported on 10.10 currently. | 09:44 |
| Herbs | bgolsmith it looks in /boot for the kernel image basically | 09:44 |
| marenostrum | jack123, Dou you have a 2nd machine near you? | 09:45 |
| pennnn | Starminn, okay last question why dont you want to use 11.04 | 09:45 |
| jack123 | nope i dont have | 09:45 |
| vibhav | pennnn I hope that doesnt happen | 09:46 |
| Starminn | pennnn: I will use it after about 3-4 weeks of its release. I want toallow some time for the bugs to be found and fixed in case the devs and beta testers missed any (which they probably did). Gnome3 can be run on 11.04, but it kills Unity (which is fine with me as I'm not a fan of it). | 09:46 |
| cryptodira | xscreensaver lives under preferences in 10.04...... it is NOT there in 10.10..... where did it get moved to? 10.10 amd/64 | 09:46 |
| pennnn | vibhav: do you gnome usee too | 09:46 |
| Danielq | buenas noches | 09:46 |
| Danielq | o buenos dias | 09:46 |
| jack123 | ok marenostrum | 09:46 |
| jack123 | suggest me a good linux distro . one that hopefully works lol | 09:47 |
| Danielq | disculpen la molestia pero me podrian ayudar con un problemita que tengo.._ | 09:47 |
| syrinx_ | !es | Danielq | 09:47 |
| ubottu | Danielq: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 09:47 |
| pennnn | vibhav: do you gnome usee too | 09:47 |
| Danielq | ok gracias | 09:47 |
| Herbs | jack123 if you cant get ubuntu to work forget Linux | 09:47 |
| syrinx_ | ^ | 09:48 |
| vibhav | pennnn I use gnome 3 | 09:48 |
| jack123 | lol but mandriva works like a charm | 09:48 |
| pennnn | ok | 09:48 |
| jack123 | i am sure it a bug in ubuntu | 09:48 |
| marenostrum | jack123, You'll get mad, but its Ubuntu. And you may try, fedora. | 09:48 |
| Herbs | jack123 stick to what works for you then learn Linux more then decide | 09:48 |
| Starminn | vibhav: Gnome3 in 11.04, right? | 09:48 |
| jack123 | :( | 09:49 |
| mithran | how do i register? | 09:49 |
| mithran | with my nick | 09:49 |
| mithran | ? | 09:49 |
| Herbs | if you cant switch from mandriva to ubuntu you need to learn | 09:49 |
| hateball | !register | mithran | 09:49 |
| ubottu | mithran: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode | 09:49 |
| syrinx_ | the hateball returns | 09:49 |
| marenostrum | jack123, If I need to name another distrı I'll say Fedora. | 09:49 |
| quiescens | bgoldsmith: permissions are stored for each process individually, and not in the usual "environment" per se, if you plan to look deeper into this you can probably have a look at setgroups() and work your way back from there but going all the way back to where in the kernel each process's individual groups list is stored is probably beyond the scope of a channel like this | 09:49 |
| xs3ns3 | linux mint its also a good n stable distro | 09:49 |
| jack123 | how about suse.? | 09:50 |
| jack123 | debain | 09:50 |
| pennnn | linux mint is shit | 09:50 |
| pennnn | !other | 09:50 |
| jack123 | how is mandriva.? | 09:50 |
| Herbs | bgoldsmith told you you needed to look at the group permissions ages ago | 09:50 |
| syrinx_ | !langauge | pennnn | 09:50 |
| ubottu | pennnn: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 09:50 |
| MethedMan | anybody have experience using "Evolution" on Ubuntu with TOR? i am getting DNS leaks and would like to try to plug the leaks. | 09:50 |
| DocPlatypus | PC has been running 9.10 until a couple days ago when I upgraded to 10.04 LTS. ever since then I have had sound switching over to "dummy output" for no reason I can figure out. where to begin troubleshooting this and/or how do I get it back to my soundcard when it does? kernel -- 2.6.32-31-generic, audio -- 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) | 09:50 |
| bgoldsmith | quiescens: thanks! I'm looking at the kernel sources | 09:50 |
| Herbs | nothing to do with the kernel | 09:51 |
| xs3ns3 | found mint user frienly (gnome mint) | 09:51 |
| marenostrum | jack123, Dont mess up Grub bootloder more. If the CD at hand is not brıken, try to install with it again. or try to install lets say Fedora to that partition. It will most probably install Grub bootloder again and you'll have Fedora at hand and your Windows untouched. | 09:51 |
| bgoldsmith | Herbs: yes, thanks! the problem was solved. I was just trying to do some extra learning about how the users group info is stored in memory when he logs in. | 09:52 |
| maxb | Does anyone know how to make nautilus not launch on inserting a USB stick? (natty) | 09:52 |
| Herbs | grub is easy to reinstall this is the thing with new Linux users to scared to break anything | 09:52 |

| pennnn | i dont like unity. i like gnome 3, gnome 2, kde xfce | 09:54 |
| pennnn | what do you recommend ? | 09:54 |
| MethedMan | anyone know how to send emails anonymously via evolution or any other linux mail program | 09:54 |
| pennnn | gnome2 | 09:54 |
| jack123 | methed why do you want to do that | 09:54 |
| jack123 | dont tell him guys | 09:54 |
| Herbs | methedman you want to spam no email prog wil let you telnet will | 09:54 |
| pennnn | i dont like unity. i like gnome 3, gnome 2, kde xfce | 09:54 |
| pennnn | what do you recommend ? | 09:55 |
| DeathNote | Anything sister | 09:55 |
| MethedMan | herbs: i don't want to spam | 09:55 |
| sdollins | MethedMan: I imagine most modern mail program will allow you to use a proxy. | 09:55 |
| MethedMan | jack123: lets just say i am part of an investigation | 09:55 |
| sdollins | You probably won't find many proxies that allow sending mail. | 09:55 |
| jack123 | or let just say you are a terrorist | 09:55 |
| DeathNote | Why? | 09:55 |
| pennnn | sdollins: recommend me to change to kde or gnome2 ? | 09:55 |
| xs3ns3 | thats fun | 09:55 |
| llutz | jack123: a dumb terrorist... | 09:56 |
| DeathNote | ok ok | 09:56 |
| MethedMan | jack123: i can send through gmail anonymously | 09:56 |
| xs3ns3 | tv = mass control | 09:56 |
| MethedMan | jack123: i am lazy and want to use "evolution" or some mail program | 09:56 |
| jack123 | why would any 1 want to do that.? | 09:56 |
| Herbs | lol send through qmail ann | 09:56 |
| Herbs | anon | 09:56 |
| pennnn | sdollins: recommend me to change to kde or gnome2 ? | 09:56 |
| sdollins | pennnn: That's not really something you can recommend ._. | 09:57 |
| guschtel_ | xs3ns3, yeah i have double checked and still... | 09:57 |
| syrinx_ | pennnn: why don't you try them and see which one you like? | 09:57 |
| pennnn | i tried | 09:57 |
| DeathNote | But i am on 11.04 | 09:57 |
| syrinx_ | then why are you asking here | 09:57 |
| Starminn | pennnn: And which do you like? | 09:57 |
| pennnn | well | 09:57 |
| syrinx_ | no one give a damn about what DE you use | 09:57 |
| DeathNote | ok sister i understand | 09:57 |
| MethedMan | llutz: most terrorist are pretty stupid eh, like the underwear bomber. | 09:57 |
| invernizzi | MethedMan, no, you cannot send emails anonymously throgh Gmail, unless you create a separate account. Maybe they look anonymous to you, but they are not. Disclamer: I work in computer security | 09:57 |
| Haegin | Hi, I upgraded to 11.04 yesterday and now when I log in my gtk theme doesn't work so I have to restart gnome-settings-daemon to fix this. Also my mouse stops working about 5-10 minutes after login. | 09:57 |
| pennnn | gnome 3 is really good usuable | 09:57 |
| nexusism | joined #ubuntu-ko | 09:57 |
| pennnn | but kde is faster, to find things and so | 09:58 |
| DeathNote | ok sister thanks | 09:58 |
| marenostrum | jack123, Do you have many critical unbackuped data on your Windows partition? | 09:58 |
| constl | kde is faster than gnome? | 09:58 |
| MethedMan | invernizzi: what if i send it through tor with namoroka? | 09:58 |
| Herbs | methedman spamming aint easy :) | 09:58 |
| jack123 | yes definately | 09:58 |
| xs3ns3 | guschtel lets see if theres any wise person around who can give u a better feed ^^ | 09:58 |
| jack123 | i dont want to mess my windows | 09:58 |
| MethedMan | invernizzi: also i am not so concerned if google knows where things are coming from. i am more concerned with the immediate parties that i am in contact with that could possible blow my cover | 09:58 |
| marenostrum | jack123, I see. | 09:59 |
| pennnn | gnome 3 is really good usuable | 09:59 |
| pennnn | but kde is faster, to find things and so | 09:59 |
| jack123 | i have adobe | 09:59 |
| sdollins | I'm about ready to switch to Windows :( | 09:59 |
| jack123 | i have vega pro | 09:59 |
| Herbs | methedman then encrypt your messages | 09:59 |
| invernizzi | MethedMan, no, tor just protects your ip. The thing is, the email still carries meta information about the sender. the correct tool for the job is "mixmaster" | 09:59 |
| invernizzi | it's in the repos | 09:59 |
| xs3ns3 | tor ? | 09:59 |
| sdollins | If something breaks then, I can just make Dell fix it :D! | 09:59 |
| xs3ns3 | hmm | 09:59 |
| xs3ns3 | u can use tor + encrypt? | 10:00 |
| pennnn | gnome 3 is really good usuable | 10:00 |
| pracrash | how to make bootable usb drive from ubuntu for windows 7 | 10:00 |
| pennnn | but kde is faster, to find things and so | 10:00 |
| syrinx_ | pennnn: stop spamming | 10:00 |
| MethedMan | invernizzI: downloading now. how do i use it | 10:00 |
| sdollins | marenostrum: It seems I've /fixed/ it or it's just cooperating for more than 1 reboot. | 10:00 |
| Herbs | theres a man for everything | 10:00 |
| invernizzi | MethedMan, mixmaster strips metadata from emails and forwards the email from server to server to delay it and make it untraceable | 10:00 |
| sdollins | As for how? I have no idea but it is apparently working. | 10:00 |
| Herbs | hes a spammer dont advise him | 10:01 |
| pracrash | does anyone know | 10:01 |
| MethedMan | herbs: not a spammer | 10:01 |
| ChrisBuchholz | Hey guys. On my ubuntu 11.04 server, when i add a ppa, via add-apt-repository, apt-get doenst use it. Or, not fully anyways. As you can see here: https://gist.github.com/952345 I add the repository and update, but its not on the list over loaded repos. I did a strace that shows it actually does "see" the repo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/602496/ | 10:01 |
| marenostrum | sdollins, Nice to hear. :) | 10:01 |
| abhinav_singh | marenostrum i have installed Libre Office..its much better than openoffice | 10:01 |
| MethedMan | herbs: troll somewhere else please | 10:01 |
| sdollins | I bet I'm annoying the piss out of people with pidgin signing in and out xd | 10:01 |
| ChrisBuchholz | I have asked in #ubuntu-server. No answers. Can you guys help me? | 10:01 |
| invernizzi | MethedMan, just launch it, it's pretty self explanatory. keep in mind that the delay between sending and receipt can be of hours. the purpose is to avoid to leak even the time of sending | 10:01 |
| MethedMan | invernizzi: what servers should i connect it to | 10:01 |
| pennnn | Herbs troll somewhere else please | 10:01 |
| Starminn | sdollins: I haven't noticed. I'm using Pidgin. | 10:01 |
| pennnn | !troll | herbes | 10:01 |
| Herbs | ok methed whats your legitamate reasoning ? | 10:02 |
| MethedMan | invernizzi: i have 5 options in the install. not sure which one to choose | 10:02 |
| sdollins | Starminn: I keep rebooting so it's signing in and out. | 10:02 |
| invernizzi | MethedMan, tell me which options are there | 10:02 |
| MethedMan | herbs: i do not answer to you, and did not appreciate your incorrect assessment | 10:02 |
| Starminn | sdollins: Ah. I guess I've kind of trained myself to "phase out" the sign-in/sign-out. There's an otion to have those nto show up but I kept talking ot myself then. | 10:03 |
| syrinx_ | lol | 10:03 |
| MethedMan | invernizzi: no configuration, internet site, internet with smarthost, satellite system, local only | 10:03 |
| invernizzi | local | 10:03 |
| sdollins | I have you on my contact list? o: | 10:03 |
| Herbs | your a spammer unless you prove otherwise | 10:03 |
| syrinx_ | Herbs: +1 | 10:03 |
| Starminn | The next person who even so much as utters the word "troll" will be on my blacklist and I will be unhappy at you for the rest of my life. | 10:03 |

| pennnn | sdollins: but i want gnome 2! but there are not any possilbilites are there ? | 10:07 |
| Starminn | pennnn: Seeing as the fact that the Gnome developers are not developing Gnome2 any longer, it is not likely, no. Canonical will continue to mainain it for the use of Unity, but what they do with it at this point is to their discretion. | 10:07 |

| Starminn | Herbs: You're right. I'm wrong. :) | 10:15 |
| marenostrum | sdollins, I'm with you. No one says that LTS is more stable than a non-LTS release. LTS is just long term. For those server things; not to have need to install, upgrade every 6 months. Bug is bug. Fault is fault. No matter in LTS or non-LTS. | 10:17 |

| marenostrum | sdollins, What's in your mind? Alternative? | 10:23 |
| Herbs | marenostrum you mean gimp isnt in the repos? You can still install it you know? | 10:23 |

| VanDyke | thegoodcushion, no idea | 10:23 |
| thegoodcushion | VanDyke: google seems to indicate that Afatech is the chipset in the tuner | 10:23 |
| sdollins | You see, I absolutely hate Unity and find it to be horridly unproductive. I don't really want to have to install another desktop environment so switching is inevitable for me. | 10:23 |

| thegoodcushion | sdollins: I hear you bro | 10:24 |
| siddhantchd | anyone you knw who can help | 10:24 |
| Starminn | thegoodcushion: There's MythBuntu that's made for something to do with TV. Can't recall what exactly. May be worth looking into. | 10:24 |
| thegoodcushion | ok | 10:24 |
| sdollins | At the moment, I'm about ready to switch to Windows. | 10:24 |
| Starminn | thegoodcushion: Not necessarily installing the whole distro -- but maybe downloading what packages it has by default. | 10:24 |
| VanDyke | sdollins, stop trolling :P | 10:24 |
| sdollins | I'm not :( | 10:24 |
| zvacet | sdollins: then you can try fedora with gnome3 | 10:24 |
| marenostrum | Herbs, No I didn't say that GIMP isn't in repos. Its there. I have already installed. He asked about the favourite photo editors. That was my answer. | 10:24 |
| VanDyke | sdollins, install ubuntu 10.10 and be done with it. Works awesome | 10:25 |
| envygeeks | Starminn: Mythbuntu is a "DVR" build. It's mediacentre for Linux, but now days you can just install opensource boxee on any of your Linux installs | 10:25 |

| sdollins | tuxx-: because that's just a temporary fix. | 10:25 |
| Starminn | Herbs: Don't. | 10:25 |
| sdollins | Xfce is missing some stuff I want. KDE is well not for me. | 10:25 |
| Herbs | and then remove that rediculous all in sudo whats the diff lol | 10:25 |
| Haegin | sdollins: if you don't like unity and don't want to switch you seem to be at an impasse | 10:26 |

| zvacet | sdollins: did you tried e17 it may be not perfect but eye candy and customizable | 10:26 |
| Starminn | sdollins: Well there's nothing you can do, man. IF you like Gnome2, Xfce is the closest ot tht you'll get. Really, Gnome2 is essentially deprecated, and will totally be deprecate soon. | 10:27 |
| sdollins | Never even heard of it, is it new? | 10:27 |
| sdollins | Xfce is okay I guess. | 10:27 |
| d-snake | ciphergoth: just right click in the worspace switcher in the bottom panel. there you can configure the rows and cols | 10:27 |
| VanDyke | just install Windows ME. You'll be happy, I promise. | 10:27 |
| thegoodcushion | Starminn: give over, it's not deprecated | 10:27 |
| thegoodcushion | it's the most popular Linux GUI | 10:27 |
| sdollins | I installed xubuntu on an old laptop and i didn't find it horrible but it's missing stuff :( | 10:27 |
| Starminn | thegoodcushion: Except that Gnome does not support it anymore. Cacnonical does. | 10:28 |
| ciphergoth | d-snake - bottom panel? I can't see one - only a left hand panel and a top panel. Right clicking on the workspace switcher in the left hand panel does nothing. | 10:28 |
| marenostrum | sdollins, If to be frank, I'm not a fan of Unity as well. I don't have a netbook and I still don't see the point why I should use it on a desktop. But I trust ubuntu leading team and I'll seriously try it and try to see what's in it for me. We know Gnome 2. And we'll see Gnome 3 as well. For now, Ubuntu Natty's two choice is OK for me. If not Unity, there's classical choice. | 10:28 |
| Starminn | thegoodcushion: If I understand correctly, anyway. | 10:28 |
| zvacet | sdollins: no it's not new you can find distros using it | 10:28 |
| sdollins | I work in IT and at the end of the day I don't want to fight with my computers :( | 10:28 |
| DocPlatypus | okay | 10:28 |
| kaie | I have an internal disk, and an external backup disk (cloned with dd). I must restore one lvm logical volume.

| thegoodcushion | is it in a PPA or something? | 10:29 |

| kaie | (for some reason, after a machine went to sleep yesterday, when it woke up again, the contents of the / partition were corrupted afterwards, just fyi) | 10:29 |
| thegoodcushion | for Ubuntu 10.04 or 11.04 | 10:29 |
| DocPlatypus | my last ditch attempt to get reliable sound on here will be to upgrade to 10.10. I'm getting a new computer from system76 later this month so I'm not that worried about sound or lack thereof... but I do want to know how hard it is to switch to GNOME 3 over this "Unity" thing. | 10:29 |
| marenostrum | Starminn, You mean from ppa. First I want to experience Unity. Then, I'll give it a try. | 10:29 |
| sdollins | DocPlatypus: I figure there will be "Gubuntu". | 10:29 |
| thegoodcushion | DocPlatypus: honestly, my next distro will be debian or Fedora | 10:30 |
| Herbs | kaie did you try an fsck | 10:30 |
| DocPlatypus | I switched to Ubuntu *from* Debian. | 10:30 |
| Starminn | marenostrum: Well, Gnome3 breaks Unity so you can't exactly "revert" | 10:30 |
| thegoodcushion | sdollins: and yes, I'm sure the GNOME fanboys will come up with a GNOME Ubuntu | 10:30 |
| VanDyke | sdollins, no, it's gonna be Clabuntu | 10:30 |
| sdollins | Fedora 15 will be sporting GNOME3 so that's an option. | 10:30 |
| kaie | Herbs, yes. a large initial portion of the disk now contains garbage data. no repair possible. I need to restore my backup | 10:30 |
| DocPlatypus | and I honestly don't give a damn if I break Unity. | 10:30 |
| Starminn | marenostrum: But yeah, in 11.04 it's available in a PPA. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/gnome-3-released-to-be-available-for-ubuntu-11-04-via-ppa/ You can try it on a LiveCD from the Fedora 15 Alpha or something sfrom the folks at SUSE | 10:30 |
| VanDyke | whoever came up with Unity was on heavy crack | 10:30 |
| marenostrum | Starminn, And I'm not sure Gnome3 from ppa will give a good result with Natty, especialy for a production machine as I use. Maybe I need an experimantal machine. | 10:30 |
| Starminn | DocPlatypus: I agree. Dirst thing I'll do. ;) | 10:31 |
| VanDyke | marenostrum, works fine | 10:31 |
| thegoodcushion | Since installing 10.04 I've been pleasantly surprised at the lack of daily updates | 10:31 |

| frayweb | #ubuntu-it | 10:31 |
| ciphergoth | d-snake or anyone else - what do you see when you right click on the workspace switcher? What's it called? If I know that maybe I can search fo rit | 10:31 |
| DocPlatypus | well | 10:31 |
| sdollins | Out of curiosity, was there any user input on whether Unity was wanted? | 10:31 |
| DocPlatypus | I kept 9.10 until I needed a newer NtEd. | 10:31 |
| DocPlatypus | 9.10 has 1.5.x, 10.04 LTS has 1.9.x | 10:32 |
| sdollins | I don't keep up with things. I just use what works and it's been Ubuntu [up until now]. | 10:32 |
| thegoodcushion | nted? | 10:32 |
| thegoodcushion | what's that | 10:32 |
| thegoodcushion | sdollins: I think the choice of GUI can change your feel for the system. I hate KDE, love GNOME | 10:32 |
| Starminn | sdollins: The general consensus seemed to be no, so I guess not. But hey, they're the largest Linux distro around now. They can do whatevere they want. | 10:32 |
| selig5 | ciphergoth: I don't think you can change the number of work spaces on 11.04. | 10:32 |
| thegoodcushion | Starminn: they won't be the largest distro if people hate Unity | 10:33 |
| Starminn | sdollins: But that's not a topic for discussion here. | 10:33 |
| ciphergoth | selig5: I refuse to believe that the Unity team are that stupid | 10:33 |
| marenostrum | Starminn, I have very bad feelings for SUSE because of some non-technical reasons. I may try from Feddora live. Or I may install from ppa on Natty these days and then make a fresh Natty install again before I set up everything on Natty. | 10:33 |
| Starminn | thegoodcushion: Exactly. Currently they are. Only time will tell if it's continued. | 10:33 |
| d-snake | ciphergoth: You use Natty with Unity? Then open a terminal > type in | 10:33 |
| d-snake | sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 10:33 |
| d-snake | This will install a program to configure it. After this you search in the application menu for "compiz". There you will see the new program. Click on "General options" > switch to the last tab "Desktop size". | 10:33 |
| tic^ | sdollins: 10.04 works very well. Install on a fesh clean drive, setup what you want and then STOP upgrading. It will remain stable that way. | 10:33 |
| FloodBot1 | d-snake: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:33 |
| thegoodcushion | Starminn: I remember when Red Hat was the most popular. Then they went commercial... | 10:33 |
| kaie | how can I open a backup lvm volume group at the same time as the original one? | 10:33 |
| sdollins | Well 10.10 worked fine :P | 10:34 |
| Starminn | thegoodcushion: Very true. | 10:34 |

| AG_Scott | Backing up my home directory should keep just about everything I need yes? | 10:37 |
| Starminn | marenostrum: I'd try it from a LiveCD. Again, I hear that there isn't really a "reversal process" so just keepin mind that you've been warned. I've not tried it myself so it could be easy, I don't know. I could be over-reacting. Just be aware. :) | 10:37 |

| * wolfy_ rm -f /bin/laden | 11:35 | |
| marenostrum | nags_, Might be better. And keep in mind the address: askubuntu.com There you can have nice answers as well. | 11:36 |
| js__ | wolfy_, is this a solution for me? | 11:36 |
| botcity | js__, no | 11:37 |
| wolfy_ | js__, is a joke | 11:37 |
| botcity | js__, lol | 11:37 |
| nags_ | marenostrum, yes that looks a good idea | 11:37 |
| js__ | lol | 11:37 |
| bullgard4 | js__: What Ubuntu release do you use? What desktop do you use? Did you analyze /var/log/syslog at this event time? | 11:37 |
| nags_ | I will go there and check out the details | 11:37 |
| js__ | bullgard4, 11.04 | 11:37 |
| marenostrum | nags_, There are many friends who knows a lot about hardware and servers thete on askubuntu.com | 11:38 |
| bullgard4 | js__: What desktop do you use? Did you analyze /var/log/syslog at this event time? | 11:38 |
| kryl | I used root lvm crypt partition (and works well since last upgrade : 11.04) , everything looks fine but when I boot after giving my password successful it show me a prompt with initramfs (I suppose busybox) do you know why please ? | 11:38 |
| nags_ | marenostrum, I am there right now and will post a question right away | 11:38 |
| iceroot | kryl: are the crypt-moduls build for your current kernel?= | 11:39 |
| js__ | bullgard4: What you mean "desktop"? No such command as "/var/log/syslog" | 11:39 |
| marenostrum | nags_, Wish you luck. | 11:39 |
| thewanderer1 | hi. any idea why a chroot made with debootstrap has "squeeze/sid" in /etc/debian_version and Ubuntu 11.04 in issue.net? or how do I check the version reliably? | 11:39 |
| kryl | iceroot, when I'm in busybox the /dev/mapper/vg-root are allready here so I guess yes | 11:39 |
| amin | hello guy last night I update my ubuntu and install items in update manager about 3mb but today I have about 130mb update while I was trying to update it it refreshed and become 49kb worth of download update what is wrong? | 11:40 |
| bullgard4 | js__: By "desktop" I mean your graphical user interface. For example GNOME 2, Unity, KDE, etc. | 11:40 |
| iceroot | kryl: but that is only the lvm not encrypted, correct? | 11:40 |
| kryl | I encrypt the full lvm ;) | 11:40 |
| js__ | bullgard4: I think is GNOME, I am new in Ubuntu. | 11:40 |
| Kream | is there a separate chat channel for ubuntu server? | 11:40 |
| iceroot | kryl: #ubuntu-server | 11:41 |
| Kream | thank you | 11:41 |
| kryl | :) | 11:41 |
| Laurencesm | hello, I wanted to install proprietary video driver for my video card, but ati radeon x1600 is no longer supported by ati. do I need to install other distro (8.04), or just use os driver? | 11:41 |
| iceroot | !ati | Laurencesm | 11:41 |
| ubottu | Laurencesm: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 11:41 |
| Laurencesm | !ati | 11:42 |
| bullgard4 | js__: The default graphical user interface of Ubuntu 11.04 is "Unity". Do you see a few icons to the right of your screen image? | 11:42 |
| kryl | iceroot, don't know | 11:43 |
| js__ | bullgard4: I only see icons to the left of my screen | 11:43 |
| bullgard4 | js__: I made a mistake. I meant "to the left". -- So you are using "Unity" as your graphical user interface. | 11:44 |
| js__ | bullgard4: I am fresh install Ubuntu 11.04, so I think it is Unity | 11:44 |
| kryl | iceroot, /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/cryptroot in initramfs looks good | 11:44 |
| kryl | but it stay locked in here | 11:44 |
| bullgard4 | js__: Yes. -- I cannot help you as I do not use Unity myself. -- Good luck with Ubuntu! | 11:45 |
| js__ | bullgard4: Nevermind, Thanks | 11:45 |
| Dan_E | how do I get full screen view for youtube videos in ubuntu 11.04? | 11:46 |
| wolfy_ | I'm not amazed by unity either | 11:46 |

| bindi | Unity is horrible tbh and they should have something else for the next release :/ | 11:46 |
| bullgard4 | js__: I have read that such an error occurs with Unity. But I do not know how to fix it. | 11:46 |
| wolfy_ | !cc verify 3264378345 | 11:47 |

| wolfy_ | :)) | 11:47 |
| wolfy_ | !ccroute 423056346740 | 11:48 |
| bullgard4 | js__: I would recommend that you switch to Ubuntu Classic view. Ubuntu Classic View does not have many errors. | 11:48 |
| wolfy_ | =)) | 11:48 |
| wolfy_ | dose channel's with cc exist anymore in these times? | 11:49 |
| js__ | bullgard4: how to switch to classic view? | 11:49 |
| bullgard4 | wolfy_: What is a "channel with cc"? | 11:49 |
| wolfy_ | js__, logout and from the longin screen you can switch to ubuntu classic | 11:49 |
| marenostrum | js__, Your problem shouldn't have to to anything with Unity interface. I'm on Unity as well but don't experience the problem. I try to think about it but, sorry, I couldn't figure out anything. By the way, is there any other problem with the system? Is the terminal the default one, gnome-terminal? | 11:49 |
| mgj | In 11.04, how do i change my workspace positioning? Default has a 2x2 grid, but i would much prefer a 1x4 row. As the bottom panel is removed in 11.04, i cannot find anywhere to change this. I refuse to believe that this simple task is impossible to do in unity...? | 11:50 |
| wolfy_ | bullgard4, irc credit card channel | 11:50 |
| js__ | wolfy_: thanks | 11:50 |
| stimpie | mgj: its an option in compiz-settings-manager | 11:50 |
| wolfy_ | there you can verify the cc, route to bank, pin number, email password and dirty h0ax like that | 11:51 |
| js__ | marenostrum: It is a default terminal, last time when I was using Ubuntu 10.10 also faced a same problem | 11:51 |
| bullgard4 | js__: It is not complicated: You will have to quit (or "terminate") Unity. Then start anew. When you are prompted for your login name and your logon password, you will find at the bottom at about the middle a menu which has a menu item "Ubuntu Classic". Press on it. | 11:51 |
| mgj | stimpie, thank you | 11:52 |
| marenostrum | js__, So its definetely not related with Unity. But what? Lets google some. | 11:52 |
| js__ | bullgard4: thanks | 11:52 |
| js__ | marenostrum: I have been googled, but no result. I think no one have face this kind of problem | 11:53 |
| pranav | hey, can anyone tell me the most appropriate alternative of 'wordweb', a thesaurus software for ubuntu :? | 11:53 |
| iceroot | kryl: is the modul loaded? (lsmod) | 11:53 |
| stimpie | mgj: to be more precise its at 'general options'-> 'Desktop size' | 11:53 |
| marenostrum | js__, Some did. Would you please wait for me for a couple of minutes? | 11:54 |
| js__ | marenostrum: Yes. Are you found a solution? | 11:54 |
| === blueghost is now known as LoveMikeMao | ||
| marenostrum | js__, Not sure about the solution but found something similar. 3 minutes. | 11:55 |
| ph88 | i am using SciTE as my text editor ... how do i set it so it opens new files in a new tab and not in a new window ? | 11:55 |
| DJones | pranav: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=thesaurus&searchon=names&suite=natty§ion=all There's various thesaurus & descriptions listed here, hopefully one of those will help you | 11:55 |
| bullgard4 | Pranav: will you be content with "dict"? | 11:55 |
| js__ | marenostrum: Thanks. Send me the link later. | 11:55 |
| pranav | bullgard4: no, i need synonyms, antonyms, near, & everything a word has relation with ;) | 11:56 |
| pranav | bullgard4: which do you suggest | 11:56 |
| kryl | iceroot, I'll double check do you know the exact names of these modules ? | 11:56 |
| marenostrum | js__, 1st link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/252144 Its an old bug and should be fixed but mat give an idea. There's one more. Coning. | 11:56 |

| Dan_E | is there a fix to get full screen view for youtube videos in 11.04? | 11:57 |
| iceroot | kryl: on my crpyted-system its "dm_crypt" | 11:57 |
| bullgard4 | Pranav: "dict" does not list "everything a word has relation with". Sorry. | 11:57 |
| aeon-ltd | Dan_E: is it crashing back everytime you try? | 11:57 |
| Dan_E | just get a white screen | 11:57 |
| pranav | bullgard4: have you used wordweb, i need a software like it in Linux | 11:57 |
| aeon-ltd | Dan_E: firefox? using unity? | 11:58 |
| bullgard4 | Pranav: No. | 11:58 |
| Dan_E | can hit esc and get out of it | 11:58 |
| js__ | marenostrum: Yes, is exactly this kind of problem | 11:58 |
| Dan_E | firefox yes unity?? | 11:58 |
| botcity | js__, have you got ccsm installed? | 11:58 |
| pranav | Someone was speaking about bug. And My ubuntu has already freezed except this empathy window | 11:58 |
| aeon-ltd | Dan_E: not using unity? | 11:58 |
| Dan_E | sorry sir I dont know unity | 11:59 |
| marenostrum | js__, ıs there any hint for the solution for you? I'm not experiencing the problem. | 11:59 |
| js__ | botcity: No but I have install scim | 11:59 |
| aeon-ltd | Dan_E: is your desktop iphone like? if not then you're probably not using unity | 11:59 |
| js__ | marenostrum: Haven yet, but I think the link that you provided help a lot. Thank you very much | 11:59 |
| marenostrum | js__, Did you make a fresh install or Web upgarade? Did you make changes to Compiz? | 12:00 |
| Dan_E | my desktop has the dock on the left side with icons | 12:00 |
| js__ | marenostrum: I am fresh install Ubuntu 11.04, but i didn't change to Compiz | 12:01 |
| Dan_E | natty | 12:01 |
| marenostrum | js__, I see. So I can't say anything why you have the problem and why I don't. Wish luck. | 12:02 |
| aeon-ltd | Dan_E: thats probably unity, i'm using latest flash and firefox 3 - fullscreen works fine, so i assume its a firefox 4 problem (kinda thin assumption at this point) but 4.0.1 was released, so as soon as ubuntu can brand it you'll know if its flash or firefox; unless you're using compiz then i'd reccommend disabling it | 12:02 |

| PeterZerneche | hello | 12:11 |
| PeterZerneche | a short question | 12:12 |
| Rahber | hello | 12:12 |
| Rahber | whats jockey-backend ? | 12:12 |
| gju | hey guys, is it possible to change the email reader for the notification area applet to something else (e.g. thunderbird) instead of evolution? | 12:12 |
| PeterZerneche | its for driver | 12:12 |
| Rahber | when i tried to install anything it says updating cache and waiting for jockey backend to exit but nothing happens | 12:13 |

| ubottu | File jockey-backend found in jockey-common | 12:13 |
| PeterZerneche | hello | 12:14 |
| Rahber | how do i sort it out ? | 12:14 |
| PeterZerneche | a short question | 12:14 |
| bullgard4 | How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing) | 12:14 |
| bullgard4 | !ask | PeterZerneche | 12:15 |
| ubottu | PeterZerneche: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 12:15 |
| PeterZerneche | bullgard4: first i have to say i love gnome 2. kde and tooo xfce are also okay. but i heard noww, gnome 2 shouldnt be in 11.10. what should i do? switch to kde? gnome 3 and unity is quite okay, but not good. | 12:15 |
| Rahber | i cant get rid of that jockey-backend to exit ? | 12:16 |
| arsenall_ | try fluxbox | 12:17 |
| bullgard4 | PeterZerneche: My advice: Stick to GNOME 2 in Natty. In Oneiron GNOME 3 will be developed very well, and Ubuntu will base much of their desktop activity on GNOME 3. So, switch to GNOME 3 in Oneiron. | 12:17 |
| PeterZerneche | ok thanks | 12:18 |
| kryl | iceroot, I have message in console who said : /dev/mapper/vg doesn't exist... (but I can see it in /dev/vg/root for example (vg is the name of my lvm with vg-root, vg-home, etc...) I don't have the command lsmod in busybox ! but I have dm-crypt in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules | 12:18 |

| arsenall_ | enlightment 17 is pretty good, but it haves cuople bugs | 12:19 |
| bullgard4 | AG_Scott: Yes. In GNOME 2 it is the second from the right. A letter envelope symbol | 12:20 |
| AG_Scott | I don't think I called it correctly then lol | 12:20 |
| Rahber | whats Dependency is not satisfiable: libnspr4-0d (>= 4.7.1) | 12:20 |
| AG_Scott | I mean something like the envelope. | 12:20 |

| gothelittle | Hi! :) I'm trying to figure out this new version of Ubuntu and I'm not used to the chat client. How can I get it to tell me which of my friends are online? | 12:31 |
| Aginor | kapu: tar -C targetdir -xf sourcefile | 12:31 |
| Aginor | kapu: add flags as needed, for example j or z and or v | 12:31 |
| pvh_sa | hey there, how do i add an item to the menu in ubuntu 11.04 ? | 12:34 |
| kapu | 'tar -zxvf file.tar.gz ./path/to/file/wanted_file' -C ./wanted_file results in something almost, but not entirely unlike joy | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | pvh_sa: You mean the left side 'launcher' ? | 12:35 |
| bullgard4 | remoteCTRL1: First you will need an account in Launchpad. | 12:35 |
| gothelittle | Oh! Never mind, I figured it out, it's up under the mail icon. You click on the chat client from there and it'll bring up your contact list. | 12:35 |
| prov | If I boot ubuntu in the livecd mode can I direct it before it boots to full to mount the disks as readonly? | 12:35 |
| GeorgeJ | How can I see the full stacktrace of an error during boot? The system crashes afterwards so there is no way of reading the log files. | 12:35 |
| pvh_sa | Dr_Willis: no, the thing which comes up when i hit the 'windows key' - i've got bacula bat installed, but there's no menu item... so i need to manually create one | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | prov: not that i have ever seen. | 12:36 |
| prov | Dr_Willis: How can it be done? | 12:36 |
| prov | Dr_Willis: Do I need a special distro? | 12:36 |
| remoteCTRL1 | bullgard4: i had one for many years now, but i never was in the pesky situation to have to report a bug in ubiquity without using apport or something...? | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | pvh_sa: thats dash (i think) you could make a proper whatever.desktop entry for the program and put it with the other system desktop files. | 12:36 |
| bullgard4 | GeorgeJ: There are more than one provision. You need to install a trace program. You need to install the necessary DEB packages. | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | prov: Never wanted to do it that way. so ive never tried. Given the varity of setups out there. I doubt if any disrtos do it that way. | 12:37 |
| No_one_at_ZNC | Is there, or was there, a Rehan here.... | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | prov: you could perhaps remaster your own. but im not sure what rules you would change for the mount options. | 12:37 |
| prov | Dr_Willis: Not even forensics distros. | 12:37 |
| bullgard4 | remoteCTRL1: You can probably re-activate it. | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | prov: go try them and see. theres many of that type out. I never use them. | 12:38 |
| remoteCTRL1 | bullgard4: beg your pardon? | 12:38 |
| CoachJ | will wubi work with windows 7 and ubuntu 11.4? | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | prov: you could always use a disrto that has no auto-mounting feature/settings at all. | 12:38 |
| GeorgeJ | bullgard4: The 11.04 live cd is throwing the error during boot. I think its failing to load "nouveau". I'm pretty sure I cannot make any additions to the CD. | 12:38 |
| remoteCTRL1 | bullgard4: it is not deactivated, i just need to report a bug without using ubuntu onboard means but by using launchpad only | 12:39 |
| bullgard4 | remoteCTRL1: If you had an account in Launchpad and did not use it for a long time, you probably can re-activate your Lanchpad account. | 12:39 |
| bullgard4 | +u | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | GeorgeJ: you could try the 'nomodeset' option at boot time. I have to do that for many of my nvidia systems | 12:39 |
| === XLV_ is now known as XLV | ||
| GeorgeJ | Dr_Willis: Thank you very much, that seems to fix the issue. However , will this cause me any further problems? | 12:41 |

| remoteCTRL1 | bullgard4: i am aware of that but there is no "report a bug" button in there neither ;) | 12:45 |
| nanomad | I'm having a problem with firefox, can anyone help me? | 12:45 |
| nanomad | scrolling is painfully slow on some pages | 12:45 |
| danst_ | I can switch to tty1, and the last string tells me init: unreadahead main process (68) terminated with status 5 | 12:45 |
| bullgard4 | remoteCTRL1: I did not say "button" but "link". | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | danst_: i think thats a common message. I see some ureadahead messages on several of my machines. | 12:46 |
| remoteCTRL1 | bullgard4: so far the most promising thing close to a report bug functionality i found here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu problem is the "report bug" link leads to the ubuntu homepage and tells me to use ubuntu-bug, which i cannot as the bug is already in the installer... | 12:46 |
| nanomad | remoteCTRL1 AFAIK you can run ubuntu-bug from the installer | 12:47 |
| nanomad | unless you cannot boot of course | 12:47 |
| danst_ | Dr_Willis: how do I boot ubuntu single without framebuffer text mode | 12:47 |
| danst_ | I think framebuffer is the problem | 12:47 |
| CoachJ | can wubi be used with windows 7 and ubuntu 11.4 | 12:47 |
| DarkStar1 | DOes anyone know how to find out the version of the running openldap daemon? | 12:48 |
| DarkStar1 | slapd | 12:48 |
| remoteCTRL1 | bullgard4: ok so you said link not button, then please tell me where the link to report a bug is? | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | danst_: the text option disablesx the framebuffer and plymouth | 12:48 |
| bildramer | so it's stable | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | danst_: its not 'single user mode' | 12:48 |
| remoteCTRL1 | nanomad: happen to know how? | 12:48 |
| danst_ | uh | 12:48 |
| bildramer | whoops, wrong channel. | 12:48 |
| danst_ | how do I specify it | 12:48 |
| danst_ | APPEND root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.3.241:/home/nfsroot/ubuntu ip=dhcp rw | 12:49 |
| kapu | Aginor: 'tar -C ./boot -zxf /mnt1/OpenBSD/4.9/i386/base49.tgz ./usr/mdec/boot' still results in nested file. I am not knowing where to put the -C | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | danst_: at the grub menu, edit the lines, replace quiet splash, with 'text' | 12:49 |
| nanomad | remoteCTRL1, which installer are you using? alternate cd or live? | 12:49 |
| danst_ | Dr_Willis: no grub menu in netboot | 12:49 |
| axisys | how do I automate the security update? | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | danst_: i dont do netboots. so no idea | 12:49 |
| remoteCTRL1 | nanomad: bullgard4 i would like to report a bug thast i have been seing for several versions now that causes ubiquity to freeze when you choose a keyboard layout which leads to you reinstalling, which is time-consuming on a netbook! | 12:49 |
| danst_ | Dr_Willis: could you paste your grub.cfg please | 12:49 |
| danst_ | so I grab your options for text mode | 12:49 |
| remoteCTRL1 | nanomad: not alternat the regular one | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | danst_: its a kernel option, same as quiet splash, | 12:50 |
| bullgard4 | remoteCTRL1: Apparently the processes to report bugs to Launchpad have changed. In recent times I only used the ubuntu-bug command. But this is not possible for you, I understand. The old process apparently is no longer available. I just read that you can report a bug via an Email as well. | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | danst_: all i do is change 'quiet splash' with 'text' when i want to. | 12:50 |
| remoteCTRL1 | bullgard4: you gotta be kiddn me! :D | 12:50 |
| remoteCTRL1 | geeez... | 12:50 |
| bullgard4 | remoteCTRL1: See you later. | 12:50 |
| nanomad | remoteCTRL1, boot the live cd and open a terminal | 12:50 |
| Aginor | kapu: that unfortunately looks correct to me | 12:51 |
| remoteCTRL1 | now i know why this bug has been existing for versions now: how the hell would you report it? :DDD | 12:51 |
| remoteCTRL1 | bullgard4: thanks for your help, dude, i appreciate it! | 12:51 |
| kapu | Aginor: ok thanks for looking | 12:51 |
| Aginor | kapu: and by nested, you mean that tar is preserving the whole path to the file? | 12:51 |
| remoteCTRL1 | nanomad: i CAN do the whole install process again and then report it... *sigh* | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | linux_probe: /vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=##### ro quiet nosplash >--> replace quiet nosplash with 'text' | 12:51 |
| nanomad | remoteCTRL1, that's the point of it | 12:52 |
| remoteCTRL1 | nanomad: my gratitude also to you for your help! | 12:52 |
| kapu | Aginor: yes | 12:52 |
| nanomad | remoteCTRL1, there is a way to report a bug without ubuntu-bug | 12:52 |
| remoteCTRL1 | nanomad: yes? | 12:52 |
| nanomad | remoteCTRL1, but i can't remember which...gimme some time ;) | 12:52 |
| remoteCTRL1 | nanomad: hehe, sure i will yawn alittle infront of my second install attempt while the progressbar creeps its way... | 12:53 |
| kapu | Aginor: 'tar: Cannot chdir to ./boot: No such file or directoryy' | 12:53 |

| kapu | remoteCTRL1: ty | 12:54 |
| zappus | im installing ubuntu 11.04 on a laptop together with win7 | 12:54 |
| nanomad | remoteCTRL1, it was in the middle of the wiki page | 12:54 |
| zappus | and resizing the partitions takes like 10 min | 12:54 |
| zappus | and still going | 12:54 |
| Aginor | kapu: it expects the dir to exist, look into using --strip-components <numberofdirstostrip> | 12:54 |
| zappus | is something gone wrong | 12:54 |
| remoteCTRL1 | nanomad: the ubuntu bug reporting page?? | 12:54 |
| nanomad | remoteCTRL1, it was in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 12:54 |
| nanomad | remoteCTRL1, middl of the page | 12:54 |
| nanomad | remoteCTRL1, section Filing bugs at Launchpad.net | 12:55 |
| kapu | Aginor: ok ty again for the look | 12:55 |
| Fleck | anyone can install fglrx on natty? | 12:55 |
| nanomad | remoteCTRL1, but you SHOULD use ubuntu-bug, really...it gives much more "debug" information | 12:55 |
| zappus | guys? | 12:55 |
| remoteCTRL1 | darn, you are rigth! | 12:56 |
| remoteCTRL1 | apologies!! | 12:56 |
| zappus | how long does resizing of partitions take? | 12:56 |
| nanomad | zappus, well...was the partition defragmented? | 12:56 |
| Aginor | kapu: I'm just googling really | 12:56 |
| remoteCTRL1 | zappus: depends on how big and how many data on it | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | zappus: shrinking can take quiet a bit of time. depending on how full and big the filesystem is. | 12:56 |
| remoteCTRL1 | nanomad: the bug that i will report is completely independent of hardware, etc... | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | zappus: I find windows resizes ntfs MUCH faster then linux and the ubuntu installer does | 12:57 |
| nanomad | ok | 12:57 |
| nanomad | no one hre using firefox and experiencing 100% cpu usage while scrolling? It's driving me crazy :/ | 12:57 |

| KrisDouglas | Hello, how do I load the PAE kernel on my machine? | 13:15 |
| KrisDouglas | is it as simple as installing it? | 13:15 |
| === krabbe is now known as Krabbe | ||
| nanomad | Technium, and yes..reboot | 13:15 |
| Technium | Thanks. BRB | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | KrisDouglas: it is its own package. yes.. that should do it. | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | !pae | 13:15 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 13:15 |
| thegoodcushion | KrisDouglas: PAE kernel is default, isn't it? | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | thegoodcushion: its not the default.. | 13:15 |
| KrisDouglas | apparently not in natty, thegoodcushion | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis | i think if you install it.. it might become the default. (ive neverr eally tried it) | 13:16 |
| thegoodcushion | Dr_Willis: cirkey | 13:16 |
| thegoodcushion | crikey* | 13:16 |
| KrisDouglas | thank you Dr_Willis | 13:16 |
| thegoodcushion | How do I know how much RAM it's using? | 13:16 |
| KrisDouglas | It was the default in 10. | 13:16 |
| nanomad | thegoodcushion, free -m | 13:16 |
| KrisDouglas | gnome-system-monitor or free -m | 13:16 |
| thegoodcushion | nanomad: Looks like I have 3.5 gigs | 13:16 |
| thegoodcushion | when my puter has 4 gigs installed | 13:17 |
| thegoodcushion | blimey | 13:17 |
| nanomad | thegoodcushion, 32bit os? | 13:17 |
| thegoodcushion | you'd think PAE would be enabled by default | 13:17 |
| KrisDouglas | thegoodcushion, means the PAE kernel is not loaded. | 13:17 |
| thegoodcushion | nanomad: Yeah 32 bit OS on a 64 bit CPU | 13:17 |
| KrisDouglas | It should be installed by default, it's odd. | 13:17 |
| nanomad | thegoodcushion, videocard? | 13:17 |
| thegoodcushion | nanomad: discrete nvidia | 13:17 |
| tomekh | hi. how do i install _minimall_ set of qt4? | 13:17 |
| nishttal | does anyone know if there is an issue installing gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.04 | 13:17 |
| DJones | thegoodcushion: It might be showing 3.5gb if you've got shared graphics memory, 512Mb may be reserved for the graphics card which reduces the 4gb originally available | 13:18 |
| thegoodcushion | See, the ubuntu website says you should use the 32-bit version. If PAE is not enabled by default, I think 64 bits should be pushed harder. Plenty of people have 4 gigs now | 13:18 |
| nanomad | thegoodcushion, on 32bit OS part of the address space is used to address devices such as the GPU | 13:18 |
| === web_knows is now known as Uebi | ||
| nanomad | thegoodcushion, so 3.5 gigs is normal | 13:18 |
| thegoodcushion | I think it's normal too. Windows 7 does the same thing | 13:18 |
| arsenall_ | nishttal: build your own, or install from ppa | 13:19 |
| Dr_Willis | thegoodcushion: ive heard/seen benchmarks where the PAE kernel can be slower then the non pae kernel in some cases. | 13:19 |
| nanomad | thegoodcushion, you should use a 64bit OS if you need the extra 500Mb | 13:19 |
| Dr_Willis | I use 64bit on all my machines that can do 64bit. :) | 13:19 |
| thegoodcushion | It claims here that PAE is installed by default on 10.04: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE | 13:19 |
| freakynl | opinions differ on it. basically drivers / hardware can live perfectly in virtual address space. Windows 'steals' the last piece of the memory because of shitty drivers that don't handle it well. That said, some chipset won't present the entire 4G to the OS (say my laptop for example) and thus the OS can not see the full 4G no matter what | 13:19 |
| zvacet | nishttal: you can find ppa for gnome3 but installing it will break unity so everyone say that I didn't try | 13:20 |
| freakynl | opinions on pae differ as well, some say it costs up to 10% performance | 13:20 |
| xc | Hi! :D | 13:20 |
| toggles | zvacet: you can try from source, it's not working for me right now, will try a few more times over the next few days to see if git settles a little | 13:20 |
| nanomad | nishttal, please don't try gnome3 on 11.04. It will break most of the things horribly | 13:21 |
| thegoodcushion | I would think that plenty of people now have 4 gigs or more of RAM | 13:21 |
| nishttal | zvacet, nanomad well unity is not working to start with | 13:21 |
| Technium | After enabling the nvidia driver it booted to a black screen. I'm back on the intel driver. Confused how it worked fine on the LiveCD? | 13:21 |

| nanomad | Technium, uh-oh | 13:21 |

| fachher | Hello everybody. I have a problem with my wlan connection. | 13:21 |
| nanomad | Technium, do you have a laptop? | 13:22 |
| freakynl | proxy avoidance software? To avoid what? If I make a transparent proxy for example you won't be able to avoid it if you're on my network | 13:22 |
| fachher | Can anybody help me. | 13:22 |
| nanomad | fachher, shoot! | 13:22 |
| arsenall_ | if you want plasma desktop, go in synaptik, write kde desktop | 13:22 |

| fachher | I can surf through the internet, but when I download something, my connection to the router broke | 13:24 |
| arsenall_ | rx007: no | 13:24 |
| nanomad | Technium, would you mind running the live cd again and posting some debug info from it (like video driver, modules)? | 13:24 |
| blackbit | fachher: excess number of simultaneous connections maybe? | 13:24 |
| thegoodcushion | zvacet: I installed 10.04 on my puter with 4 Gig RAM and I don't have the PAE thing installed. I'm not sure whose fault that is | 13:24 |
| Technium | Sure, could you tell me how/what you need? | 13:24 |
| zvacet | thegoodcushion: I'm not on Ubuntu comp right noe but yes when I boot only options are with pae kernel | 13:24 |
| thegoodcushion | I bloody knew I should have installed the 64-bit version | 13:25 |
| nanomad | Technium, just install xchat in the live cd and join back #ubunut | 13:25 |

| sploenni | how can I disable unity in 11.04 when I build my own livecd with uck? | 13:26 |
| zvacet | thegoodcushion: and after installing remove one witch is not pae | 13:27 |
| thegoodcushion | zvacet: rebooting now, hang on | 13:27 |
| thegoodcushion | damn it, I shouldn't have to do this manually. Ubuntu should do it automatically | 13:28 |
| zvacet | sploenni: I didn't try but maybe if you install with minimal cd you can choose what do you want to add | 13:28 |
| nanomad | thegoodcushion, not everyone wants PAE | 13:28 |
| thegoodcushion | Now the PAE kernel won't work with my nvidia drivers | 13:29 |
| nanomad | thegoodcushion, of course | 13:29 |
| xc | Irani : With online proxy have you try? | 13:29 |
| thegoodcushion | nanomad: So what do I do? Run in text mode? | 13:29 |
| zvacet | thegoodcushion: drivers doesn't work with kernel of course install drivers again | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis | thegoodcushion: you may need to reinstall them. Ive never heard of any PAE/nvidia issues. but i dont use PAE. :) | 13:29 |
| thegoodcushion | zvacet: does that mean I have to do remove and install? | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis | thegoodcushion: how did you install them last time? | 13:30 |
| thegoodcushion | Dr_Willis: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 13:30 |

| zvacet | thegoodcushion: I will not answer graphic related questions because I know very little about that | 13:30 |

| thegoodcushion | I'll remove and reinstall. Hang on. | 13:31 |
| nanomad | thegoodcushion, you could have built the driver manually using dkms ;) | 13:31 |

| ubottu | Technium, please see my private message | 13:34 |
| nishttal | this time i chose Ubuntu classic at login and i see Gnome | 13:34 |
| Dr_Willis | adamJ: when in doubt try a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and try reinstalling 'kubuntu-desktop' again. What package name are you trying to install exactly? | 13:34 |
| nishttal | however, i see window decorations on only 1 screen | 13:35 |
| thegoodcushion | Okay, nvidia drivers for my GTX 460 SE do not work with PAE kernel. Full stop. | 13:35 |

| nishttal | the other screen windows do not have title bars nor am i able to type in them | 13:35 |
| nishttal | any clues? | 13:35 |
| nanomad | thegoodcushion, what's the error? | 13:35 |
| rafii | i have the similar problem, with fglrx after upgrade 10.10->11.04, system hang on 'checking battery state', and turn on fglrx drivers in gui tool, and work great :) i use PAE kernel | 13:35 |
| Dr_Willis | nishttal: whats your video card/chipset? | 13:35 |
| magum_ | Does sb here knows what keyboard config file, window managers such as fluxbox and Awesome are using? | 13:35 |
| nanomad | nishttal, thegoodcushion: PAE+closed source -> bad thing | 13:36 |
| nishttal | Dr_Willis, nvidia Quadro NVS 420 | 13:36 |
| thegoodcushion | nanomad: On boot up I get a screen saying drivers gave an error | 13:36 |
| adamJ | Dr_Willis: tried all of those. Trying either kde-full, kde-standard and kubuntu-desktop | 13:36 |
| adamJ | Dr_Willis: all give a long list of unmet dependencies which are all KDE apps and libraries | 13:36 |
| Vhozard | Hi, is there any torrent client for Ubuntu that can skip hash checking and can add multiple torrents at a time ? | 13:36 |
| Dr_Willis | nishttal: theres some bugs it seems with Unity and the twinview/multi monitor support. :( | 13:36 |
| Technium | That immediately solved the issue - its the i965 driver :) Didnt realise that was accelerated enough to run unity | 13:36 |
| nanomad | Technium, that's how i thought | 13:37 |
| nishttal | Dr_Willis, i am not running unity | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | adamJ: odd. and you did an apt-get update, and upgrade just a few min ago> | 13:37 |
| zyrorl | hey guys... i'm having an issue with 11.04... i can barely use it. it's sooooooooooooooooo slow. like constantly freezing, even in gnome safe mode | 13:37 |
| nanomad | Technium, you cannot use the nvidia card on linux | 13:37 |
| zyrorl | i had no problem at all with 10.10 | 13:37 |
| nanomad | Technium, unless you play with vga_switcheroo | 13:37 |
| zyrorl | ultra fast etc. | 13:37 |
| nishttal | Dr_Willis, nanomad: is there a solution or do i have to roll back | 13:37 |
| adamJ | Dr_Willis: yes | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | nishttal: what are you running then? | 13:37 |
| zyrorl | it seems to be because of the 2.6.38 kernel... if i try to boot using an older kernel its uber fast | 13:37 |
| zyrorl | does anyone else seem to have experienced this ? | 13:38 |
| nanomad | nishttal, back you should go | 13:38 |

| Jessica175 | Yeah, I hear ya. But why? I have vmware on a XP box and it works great. | 14:52 |
| stimpie | virtualbox is good but not better then vmware | 14:52 |
| r0hit | btw is OpenGL supported in vmware player? | 14:52 |
| vibhav | <r0hit> I dont think so | 14:52 |
| rob_p | Jessica175: I also run vmware fusion on my Macs and it's a dream! | 14:52 |

| Jessica175 | ok, ok. I understand the opensource argument, but I'm an RN and I don't have the time to learn a new app if the one I already know works fine. | 14:53 |

| Jessica175 | re: netflix: do you mean that the console connects to the VM via VNC? | 15:02 |
| buhman | the interesting thing is that it does work in debian squeeze, but not debian wheezy (which would have more similar packages to natty) | 15:02 |
| buhman | how might I go about diagnosing the problem? | 15:02 |
| mudtar | Dr_Willis, I find that's true with Chromium. :\ | 15:02 |
| Dr_Willis | mudtar: i found it an issue with many of the simpiler programs that came with my lubuntu desktip install also. | 15:03 |
| Dr_Willis | plus it just looks sort of Ugly half the time with the title getting overwritten by the menu text in many cases. | 15:03 |
| mudtar | Firefox plays quite nicely, but not Chrome. I'll get around to fixing it someday, but for now I'll use Firefox because of it. | 15:03 |

| rob_p | tyler_d: Why did you modify openvpn's init script? | 15:05 |
| roasted | Does anybody here have a preference at which point they install Unity 2D over 3D? | 15:05 |
| tyler_d | rob_p: being foolish | 15:05 |
| vibhav | <roasted> Can you explain more please? | 15:05 |
| roasted | vibhav, I'm just curious at which point (hardware wise) people prefer 2D over 3D | 15:06 |
| rob_p | tyler_d: Well, *sometimes* that has to be done for legit reasons. I was just curious! | 15:06 |
| aeon-ltd | roasted: is it slow? use 2D, like lightning? use 3D for more bling :) | 15:07 |
| vibhav | <roasted> Nice Hardware = 3d or 2d | 15:07 |
| tyler_d | rob_p: I was trying to sort out an upstart issue; however something got borked and of course I saved it right | 15:07 |
| rob_p | tyler_d: On one of my server installs, I had to mod mine in order to have some custom preparatory scripts execute just before starting the openvpn process. | 15:07 |
| aeon-ltd | roasted: personally i wouldn't use either, i feel that UIs like unity slow things down more | 15:07 |
| gare | hi -- ok. I want to believe the Unity is also for 'power users'. Does anyone else share my hope / have any comments supportive of this belief? (I read in press how Unity was not designed for power users.. ) | 15:07 |
| buhman | is it possible to remove the ugly sidebar and replace the top-left unity button with a more traditional gnome menu? | 15:07 |
| mbeierl | there's a unity 3d? like the compiz cube concept on unity? | 15:07 |
| Krishnandu | Hi guys, I can't boot using newest kernel after upgrading to Natty, The screen remains blank. Though I can boot using "Previous Version" | 15:08 |
| bazhang | buhman, choose gnome classic at login | 15:08 |
| jw_ | Any idea if ubuntu will soon release patches to fix unity/other misc bugs? | 15:08 |
| rob_p | tyler_d: I see. None of my openvpn installs are recent enough to use upstart so my init scripts won't help you. | 15:08 |
| roasted | aeon-ltd, that is definitely not what I asked, but thanks anyway. | 15:08 |
| buhman | bazhang: but I kinda like other parts of this interface | 15:08 |
| blackbit | gare: I am a power user and like it. Its nead and orderly, and I like it even if I am not a noob | 15:08 |
| sipior | gare: if you can use it to launch a terminal, it is fine for "power users". :-) | 15:08 |
| buhman | bazhang: I just don't like the lack of a real menu and the sidebar is just too colorful | 15:08 |
| bazhang | buhman, there's unity-2d , limited customisation afaik | 15:08 |
| aeon-ltd | roasted: sorry, but yeah unity's nice - in eye candy terms anyway :) | 15:08 |
| Dr_Willis | jw_: i imagione we will be getting a steady flow of patches over the next few months. :) | 15:09 |
| roasted | aeon-ltd, it's nice all around, if you ask me. As a former hater I'm swallowing my words as I see all of the benefits in usability now that I've used it for a few weeks. | 15:09 |
| eekTheCat | Could someone give the value of their errorformat in vim? :set errorformat | 15:09 |
| jw_ | no customization is really disappointing, that's why I moved to linux. If I wanted to be forced into a style I'll just stick with windows or mac | 15:09 |
| tyler_d | rob_p: alternately how would I force re-install? | 15:10 |
| jrib | jw_: keep in mind you have a choice in window managers | 15:10 |
| buhman | my close, minimize, and maximize buttons are on the wrong side of the windows too | 15:10 |
| gare | blackbit: glad to hear it. Thank you. I have the keyboard shortcut wallpaper and love the 3 d type layering of workspaces ... + yes sipior thanks good point. Ctrl + Alt + T works great! :) | 15:10 |
| mbeierl | is it possible to configure workspace switching in unity to react to mouse events? For example, I use mouse wheel up/down at the edges to flip the cube face in compiz. | 15:10 |

| rob_p | tyler_d: If all else fails, you can --purge remove the package and then reinstall it. That will replace the init script with a default version. Just remember to *always* make a backup of the file before you start messing with it. It's a good habit to get in to. I forced myself to start doing that over 10 years ago when I first started learning Linux and I still do it now! :) | 15:10 |

| drake_ | exit | 15:11 |
| buhman | Dr_Willis: what else does that? | 15:11 |
| sipior | jw_: they didn't force gnome or kde on you; why would unity be any different? you'll *always* have the option to choose what you want. | 15:11 |
| sipior | jw_: it may just be a bit more work... | 15:12 |
| mbeierl | Dr_Willis: was that controls factoid meant for me? | 15:12 |
| Dr_Willis | buhman: i recall wmx doing it that way. and some other very minimal wm's | 15:12 |
| rob_p | tyler_d: You can purge the current install with, "sudo apt-get --purge remove openvpn" and once it finishes, do, "sudo apt-get install openvpn" and that *should* get you back to default configs, init scripts, etc for openvpn. | 15:12 |

| janzert | Snyperx: had that confusion myself, the netbook release is now part of the regular desktop version | 16:23 |

| Defusal_ | eekTheCat: well i dont have emacs installed, in console ctrl-p outputs ^P | 16:24 |
| eekTheCat | Defusal_, what is $SHELL on that system? | 16:24 |
| === root is now known as Guest53785 | ||
| iomari | when running multicd, it keeps ignoring ubuntu. every other iso works. | 16:24 |
| Defusal_ | eekTheCat, /bin/sh | 16:24 |
| eekTheCat | Defusal_, that must be your problem | 16:24 |
| eekTheCat | Defusal_, on a standard ubuntu system it should be /bin/bash | 16:25 |
| === dmi_ is now known as dm_1 | ||
| botcity | buhman, okay did you troubleshoot it? which card is it ? | 16:25 |
| eekTheCat | Defusal_, sh is ancient unix compatibility shell | 16:25 |
| Defusal_ | eekTheCat, ah, why would it be like this, and more importantly, what do i need to do to install bash? | 16:25 |
| martian | How does one disable notification area popups, or perhaps alter their behavior? | 16:26 |
| buhman | botcity: my screenshots have hwinfo --wlan for both cards | 16:26 |
| Defusal_ | i just got my VPS and im not liking its state at all | 16:26 |
| maco | Defusal_: bash is efault login shell. its installed y default | 16:26 |
| muneeb | hi, can anyone tell me how can i limit file size for uploads in ftp server (using vsftpd)?? | 16:26 |
| eekTheCat | Defusal_, odds are it's bash in compatibility mode... | 16:26 |
| Defusal_ | maco: then how do i enable it by default? | 16:26 |
| maco | Defusal_: /bun/sh is dash because its smaller. less overhead than bash on running boot scripts. things go faster | 16:26 |
| eekTheCat | Defusal_, what does "dpkg -l bash" say? | 16:26 |
| kad_ | hey! can someone remind me with the command that i can force it to execute specific parameter ex: run a script base on Time ? thx | 16:27 |
| maco | Defusal_: if you want to make /bin/sh use bash instead of dash, just change the symlink | 16:27 |
| buhman | but I have the rt2500usb Linksys USB 54G and an Atheros 9285 | 16:27 |
| Defusal_ | eekTheCat, bash 4.1-2ubuntu3 The GNU Bourne Again SHell | 16:27 |
| maco | Defusal_: but be warned it will make things like boot slower because bash is huge | 16:27 |
| maco | Defusal_: bash is the default login shell. see /etc/passwd | 16:27 |
| buhman | both have kernel modules loaded and both work in kernel 2.6.32 (debian squeeze) | 16:27 |
| joe021 | is possible to generate a key pair for ssh without prompting the user for info? | 16:27 |
| Defusal_ | maco, maybe not the best idea for a VPS, how much bigger we talking? | 16:27 |
| buhman | it seems like there must have been some regression | 16:28 |
| Defusal_ | maco, its not the default login shell on this server | 16:28 |
| Defusal_ | im ssh'ing to a VPS, and its using dash | 16:28 |
| eekTheCat | Defusal_, So it's installed. Changing a symlink manually like maco suggested is not the right way to change shells | 16:28 |
| maco | Defusal_: hm then sounds like your vps provider futsed with /etc/passwd O_o -- change that back | 16:28 |
| buhman | botcity: I'm also browsing through these guides and they seem mostly completely irrelevant | 16:28 |
| maco | eekTheCat: thats the way if you want to change /bin/sh's behaviour. but if you want to change login shells, then /etc/passwd | 16:28 |
| Defusal_ | err | 16:29 |
| Defusal_ | i was given a default password, which i had to change on first login, then it kicked me out and made me login again | 16:29 |
| jnlsnl_ | anyone have experience installing postfix ? | 16:29 |
| Defusal_ | ever since its been using this shell | 16:29 |
| Defusal_ | eekTheCat: what is the correct way to change it then? | 16:29 |
| mikeshultz | Any good resources on using Ubuntu clients in a samba/NT environment(filesharing and auth)? Preferably something for large environments(users won't be using smbmount). | 16:30 |

| buhman | botcity: my screenshots would suggest so; yes | 16:30 |
| Pici | Defusal_: via chsh or editing /etc/passwd directly. I suggest the former. | 16:30 |
| eekTheCat | Defusal_, usermod -s /bin/bash Defusal_ | 16:31 |
| eekTheCat | Defusal_, by Defusal_ i mean whatever your username is :) | 16:31 |
| buhman | botcity: http://paste.ubuntu.com/602834/ | 16:31 |
| Defusal_ | eekTheCat, thanks | 16:31 |
| maco | i always forget about usermod... | 16:31 |
| Defusal_ | :) | 16:31 |
| eekTheCat | maco, it's slightly safer that mucking about /etc/passwd :) | 16:32 |

| GeneralAntilles | Are there any good troubleshooting guides for wake-from-sleep failures? I've got an x220 and an IdeaPad S10-3t which both refuse to wake from sleep about 2/3rds of the time with 11.04. | 16:32 |
| buhman | what that actually means I'm clueless | 16:32 |
| tamale_ | Now I'm just getting this error when trying to upgrade: E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'python-pyatspi2'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2) | 16:32 |
| buhman | botcity: and I'm currently at a loss on how to find more useful information | 16:33 |
| maco | pestilence: chroot in & dpkg --get-selections > file | 16:33 |
| miceiken | "Please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu-Server 11.04 _Natty Narwhal_ - Release amd64 (20110426)' in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter.", this pops up while installing the base system, but that CD is the one I am running. | 16:33 |
| pestilence | maco: good idea | 16:33 |
| pestilence | thanks | 16:33 |
| broot | I'm going to use the LiveCD to boot into Ubuntu 10.10, do I actually need the 10.10 CD, or will a new 11.04 work as well? | 16:33 |
| buhman | botcity: on why two supposedly supported cards both aren't working because of what looks like some kind of system-wide soft block | 16:34 |
| wizworks | Does anyone know how to stop the annoying screen blanking? I have tried disabling and even removing gnome-screensaver | 16:34 |
| botcity | buhman, which laptop is it? | 16:34 |
| buhman | botcity: I'd also be willing to wager that if I grabbed ubuntu 10.04 or something to that effect, it'd probably work | 16:34 |
| buhman | botcity: Acer One 721-3574 | 16:35 |
| buhman | botcity: only two distributions have worked so far: debian squeeze, and some chromium nightly build | 16:36 |
| eekTheCat | wizworks, don't know, but it's probably acpi related.. | 16:36 |
| buhman | botcity: opensuse 11.4 failed, debian wheezy failed, fedora 10 failed, and ubuntu 11.04 fails | 16:37 |
| eekTheCat | wizworks, someting in /etc/acpi maybe? | 16:37 |
| mbeierl | broot: I don't understand the question. Do you mean you have 10.10 installed on a hard drive and you want to use the 11.04 live CD as the boot loader? | 16:37 |
| pestilence | maco: complication...the old filesystem is mounted read-only (not by choice). where do i dump the selections? | 16:37 |
| wizworks | eekTheCat: I have a ubuntu 10.4 box running MythTV... as long as the box is active the screen stays on. When it becomes idle after a few minutes, the blanking starts. | 16:38 |
| botcity | buhman, what is the output of lspci | grep -i wireless | 16:38 |
| wizworks | eekTheCat: I'll check that file and see if I find something... but I disabled acpi too. | 16:38 |
| maco | pestilence: flash drive? | 16:39 |
| insanity99 | hey guys, what do you guys think of unity? i cant seem to get it, seems to be no order, just a load of random programs listed | 16:39 |
| maco | pestilence: or just somewhere on the live filesystem for now, then ftp it somewhere or pastebin it | 16:39 |
| pestilence | maco: well i could save it to the running system if not for the chroot | 16:39 |
| maco | pestilence: oh...once you're chrooted you cant get to running...right... can you mount a flash drive inside the chroot? | 16:39 |
| mbeierl | broot: then, yes it will work | 16:40 |
| Baskak | hi, i have a failure following upgrade to 11.04. http://pastebin.com/L03HTmQB | 16:40 |
| Baskak | hello? :) | 16:40 |
| broot | mbeierl: thank you. :) | 16:40 |
| maco | pestilence: or does "pastebinit" happen to be one of the things installed on there? in which case, pipe to that? | 16:40 |
| LibreMan | hello, does anybody know whether I can use apt-cacher for ubuntu and debian at the same time? | 16:40 |
| maco | pestilence: possibly the chroot might have a writable /tmp? | 16:40 |
| LibreMan | is it possible that two packages would have the same name but different concent? | 16:40 |
| pestilence | maco: afraid not. i'll try flash drive and /tmp | 16:40 |
| maco | pestilence: yes | 16:40 |
| mbeierl | broot: the boot loader is actually completely independent of the release itself and can be mixed and matched | 16:40 |
| maco | pestilence: whoops | 16:41 |
| maco | LibreMan: yes, debian and ubuntu packages differ | 16:41 |
| buhman | botcity: http://paste.ubuntu.com/602836/ | 16:41 |
| LibreMan | maco: but the ubuntu ones should have "ubundu"appended if they are different no? | 16:41 |

| mun_ | when i indent a python file using tab, it moves in by quite a few spaces. how do i lower the number of spaces? | 16:42 |
| LibreMan | maco: I mean I know they're different ... the issue is whether they have the same name and are different because in that case they're going to overwrite each other .... if they are named differently then there is no problem | 16:42 |

| quiescens | sipior: that's not technically right, load on the swap partition can by the system swapping things out, even if it never gets swapped back in, what you need to look at is things like pagefaults which is how often a process is requesting data which had to be read from the swap system | 17:06 |
| thevishy | is Wing available in Ubuntu ? Python IDE | 17:06 |
| buhman | botcity: thoroughly interesting... | 17:06 |
| thevishy | Python IDE Wing is what I am looking for ......can I install via apt | 17:06 |
| sahil | ayecee http://paste.ubuntu.com/602859/ | 17:06 |
| miceiken | ayecee | 17:06 |
| sipior | quiescens: that's why iostat lists block read and blocks written. | 17:06 |
| Baskak | hi, i have a failure following upgrade to 11.04: http://pastebin.com/L03HTmQB help needed | 17:06 |
| miceiken | it says it's valid ayecee | 17:06 |
| buhman | botcity: OH MY GOD! | 17:07 |
| daxroc | ryankirkman: not really | 17:07 |
| TheRedOctober | sipior: not now, iowait is 1% as well. this machine is rather chill, just sits at work for irc, personal email, ssh home. it is just peculiar to see swap fill up like that. | 17:07 |
| Pici | thevishy: I was under the impression that wing IDE was commercial, you'll likely need to check their website. | 17:07 |
| sipior | quiescens: i'm looking to see if most of the swap is going to memory reservations, or is actually being used for data. | 17:07 |
| coz_ | sahil, I have gotten this error myself ,, apparenlty those servers are down ,, or intermitently down... and you say synaptic doesnt open? | 17:07 |
| sahil | ayecee the initial error was http://paste.ubuntu.com/602851/ | 17:07 |
| ayecee | miceiken: i see. that rules out that theory then. | 17:07 |
| thevishy | It has a personal edition too \ | 17:07 |
| coz_ | sahil, open a terminal gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk | 17:08 |
| sipior | TheRedOctober: if the machine is performing fine, i wouldn't worry about it :-) | 17:08 |
| quiescens | sipior: well i guess both ways answer that question, if its just allocations that are never used then there will be no i/o for it nor will there be any pagefaults | 17:08 |
| sipior | quiescens: that was my point, yes. | 17:08 |
| adssdsdads | hi | 17:09 |
| buhman | botcity: http://imagebin.org/151505 | 17:09 |
| sahil | ayecee ya after dat?it opened the software sources.do i need to disselect somthing? | 17:09 |
| buhman | botcity: your google-fu is strong | 17:09 |

| insanity99 | some reason xsensors only shows one core since updating? | 17:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Chipzzz: I find a lot of people saying "boohoo i'll use maverick" when gnome classic is the SAME as merick desktop... | 17:15 |
| coz_ | sahil, now,,, for the PPA's ,, go to synaptic Settings / repositories... second tab again,,, tick ONLY one ppa at a time,,, Reload,,, Mark all upgrades,,,Apply,,, if it spits out the same error,, go back into repostories and un tick that particular PPA | 17:15 |
| ActionParsnip | nnnnnnnwerwer: use http://pastebin.com | 17:15 |

| ActionParsnip | nnnnnnnwerwer: if you giove the output of the command I gave, we can advise | 17:16 |
| coz_ | gpetrakis, that's why,,, you have to install the system onto the hard drive first then install the nvidia driver,, then restart | 17:16 |
| ActionParsnip | coz_: you can install prop drivers in livecd ;) | 17:16 |

| ActionParsnip | miceiken: doesn't answer the question, did you MD5 test the ISO? | 17:19 |

| coz_ | sahil, still here? | 17:21 |
| sipior | coz_: rapeman is likely also a bot (the gnu/linux thing shows up fairly often here, with precisely the same formulation). | 17:21 |
| rapeman | I'd like to interject, sipior. What you're referring to as "Linux" is, in fact, GNU/Linux. | 17:21 |

| Bunbury | ActionParsnip: created a new user and tried login to gnome get the same error | 17:33 |
| coz_ | sahil, not sure what it is for ,, however,, what we did ,, especially the disabling of the PPA's should have remedied this | 17:33 |

| kbrosnan | Distress: plugin container is not extensions, it is stuff like Adobe Flash | 17:35 |
| constl | or actually it is "activated but not currenlty in use" | 17:35 |
| Distress | ah, that explains it | 17:35 |

| speedy|2 | compiz does not play well in natty on some things | 17:38 |
| Krishnandu | pentos, Same here...!! Wish they fix it soon, but I strongly think it's not a general bug, and has something to do with NVIDIA Cards, and as far I know they have modified the Graphics thing, and something is creating this problem. As all of us are able to boot using previous kernel | 17:38 |
| Laggg | my ubuntu is fuct up | 17:38 |

I'm installing Ubuntu 11.04 from scratch, and all of the sudden when I'm at Install the base system, this error pops up (at about 90%) "Please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu-Server 11.04 _Natty Narwhal_ - Release amd64 (20110426)' in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter.". But that's the CD currently in the ROM - I have verified the contents of the disk and | 17:52 |
| miceiken | they are valid (the md5 hasehs match too) | 17:52 |
| bloodscalp | Little question. I've recently installed wine and there is a licence agreement of ttf-mscorefonts to accept. The "gui" (it's in a terminal) finishes qith <ok> but I can't find a way to accept it, and finish the install proprely. | 17:52 |
| sahil_ | coz_, seems like working...*crosses finger* | 17:52 |
| coz_ | sahil_, cool | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | bloodscalp: use tab then enter | 17:53 |
| coz_ | miceiken, mm you might want to try either the alternate cd or the mini cd | 17:53 |
| coz_ | miceiken, neither of which is a live cd | 17:53 |
| miceiken | is this a live cd? | 17:53 |
| miceiken | :P | 17:53 |
| bloodscalp | ActionParsnip, omg, thank u, i feel quite stupid | 17:53 |
| sahil_ | coz_, ****YAPPIEEEEEEE* | 17:53 |
| joH28 | LHR_crew, 10.10 with the netbook edition? | 17:53 |
| coz_ | miceiken, I dont know did you download the live cd/ | 17:53 |
| stefg | miceiken: i had this, too with some server installs form CD... unsolved bug, praise the ubuntu quality assurance | 17:53 |
| coz_ | sahil_, there go guy :) | 17:53 |
| LHR_crew | hi joh28... yes... did the update as prompted... | 17:54 |
| vorlov | hello | 17:54 |
| vorlov | does anyone here have experience with the AMI provided by Ubuntu on Amazon? | 17:54 |
| coz_ | miceiken, if you want a link to the mini cd which is only 19 megs I have it here | 17:54 |
| vorlov | specifically with the new natty one | 17:54 |
| vorlov | natty release | 17:54 |
| miceiken | coz_: the server edition? | 17:54 |
| sahil_ | coz_, *shakes hand**hugs*thnx bro...i cud never had guessed the soln of the problem | 17:54 |
| joH28 | LHR_crew, you sure it was not upgrade? | 17:55 |
| LHR_crew | upgrade.. sorry... :) | 17:55 |
| coz_ | miceiken, actually it is for any of the options and I believe server is there as well... it will eventually give a list of what you might want to install,,,arrows to scroll the list SPACEBAR to select an item | 17:55 |
| LHR_crew | i am actually new to all of this.. my ex put ubuntu on my netbook | 17:55 |
| coz_ | miceiken, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/mini.iso | 17:55 |
| miceiken | coz_: so how does it work? download everything? | 17:55 |
| coz_ | miceiken its only 19 megs and it does indeed install via the net | 17:56 |
| miceiken | stefg: so it's a bug? did you solve it somehow | 17:56 |
| joH28 | LHR_crew, I think you've upgraded to 11.04. On mine it gave me that prompt too. | 17:56 |
| miceiken | coz_: okay, I guess i'll try | 17:56 |
| vorlov | im trying to figure out why the new natty image for i386 isn't available on the m1.large... but the amd version is available on a large instanfe | 17:56 |
| vorlov | instance | 17:56 |
| vorlov | ? | 17:56 |
| coz_ | miceiken, i have come to rely on the mini.iso images for time and a bit more assureance that the download itself will most likely not be corruped with 19 megs :) | 17:56 |
| stefg | miceiken: it starts te installer from a ramdisk and d/l's all the packages directly from the repos. you only d/l what you want, and you have the newest version | 17:56 |
| LHR_crew | joH28 yes.. it think that is the upgrade it was say it was installing... what did you do | 17:56 |
| coz_ | miceiken, corrupted I meant | 17:56 |
| tomekh | if i do (in command line): Name_of_dir_[and tab here], bash doesn't append "/" at end of dir, but it appends whitespace. where to fix that? | 17:57 |
| arvut | joH28: ty, I probably wont do that. 2gb mem is enough for what I do on the laptop. desktop has 8gb tho, you can probably understand why ;) | 17:57 |

| coz_ | miceiken, it is a text install although there is a gui like thingy,,, not difficult to deal with,, just remember,,, when you get the list of possible installs ,, space bar is the key to tick the box,,although if you choose nothing you will boot into text console and you can install from there if you likje | 17:58 |
| coz_ | like | 17:58 |

| miceiken | stefg: okay im gonna boot it up and see how it looks | 18:00 |
| stefg | !minimal | 18:00 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:00 |
| coz_ | sahil_, no not that I amware of | 18:00 |
| Laggg | Setting Update "initiate_all_edge" | 18:00 |
| Laggg | my terminal is frozen there | 18:01 |
| Laggg | after running compiz --replace | 18:01 |
| joH28 | LHR_crew, I'm afraid there is no rollback option save for reinstalling 10.10 (somebody correct me if I'm wrong). However if you have /home on a separate partition, it shouldn't be too hard. | 18:01 |
| coz_ | miceiken, it is indeed 11.04 the background shoule be that purple color | 18:01 |
| miceiken | no purple color here | 18:01 |
| sahil_ | kk cya guys later.gotta DBMS exam tommorow tc | 18:01 |
| miceiken | itt looks all black to me :P | 18:01 |
| coz_ | miceiken, the ONLY issue with mini iso is it cannot be used on usb | 18:01 |
| tomekh | llutz: yeah, sed -i "s/_filedir/_filedir_acroread/" /etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh helped :) | 18:01 |
| coz_ | miceiken, did you burn to disk/ | 18:01 |
| coz_ | ?? | 18:01 |
| BotenAnna | hello all, I just updated to 11.04 and it booted up and got to the login screen, but when I log in it just shows the purple swirl wallpaper and sits there and compiz is reporting 99% cpu time on top | 18:01 |
| Jordan_U | coz_: Yes it can. | 18:01 |
| miceiken | coz_ yes | 18:01 |
| coz_ | Jordan_U, cool | 18:01 |
| BotenAnna | i rebooted, same thing again | 18:02 |
| BotenAnna | any idea what might be wrong? | 18:02 |
| miceiken | oh | 18:02 |
| miceiken | now its purple | 18:02 |
| fayenia | ppl i have a problem i was configuring my ati radeon Target, everything was working just fine before that, now my screen is all messed up and freezed im in recovery mode, i tryed to uninstall them and reinstall them and the problem persist , i also tried to "dpkg-reconfigure x-server-xorg" | 18:02 |
| coz_ | miceiken, there you go | 18:02 |
| Jordan_U | coz_: Unetbootin is named as such because (IIRC) the netboot images (like mini.iso) are particularly easy to boot from USB :) | 18:02 |
| volvering | hi some one know how to change the name on terminal? my one is like this "volvering@volvering-G71V-Invalid-entry-length-0-DMI-table-is-broken-Stop:~$ " | 18:02 |
| jbwiv_ | guys, on Unity, I have the little blue triangle thingy up at the top left indicating some sort of notification, but I can't find what's triggering it. Does this thing log anywhere? | 18:02 |
| coz_ | Jordan_U, ok I will try that,, it certainly will be an advantage :) | 18:03 |
| miceiken | coz_: all the specifics come later, right? | 18:03 |
| eiriksvin | is there a way to get tranparent windows in Natty? | 18:03 |
| miceiken | I pressed install instead of command-line install | 18:03 |
| miceiken | :P | 18:03 |
| * kanneblei wonders why FloodBot1 just asked someone on ubuntu-unregged if P=NP... if that guy can answer that one I'm betting he could get some money out of it. | 18:03 | |
| coz_ | miceiken, all of the possible installs indeed will come later,, so give it time | 18:03 |
| coz_ | miceiken, you wont miss it :) | 18:03 |
| miceiken | coz_: okay, thanks for your help | 18:04 |
| miceiken | stefg: you too :) | 18:04 |
| stefg | np | 18:04 |
| arvut | joH28: my win7 worked fine until 2 days ago. all hibernation attempts since then has failed :/ gonna try it on ubuntu and gentoo once I have those installed. | 18:04 |

| Trueman | Guys, has somebody EDID.bin file for LCD with native resolution 1650x1050_60? | 18:05 |
| BotenAnna | worrying because I was hoping to switch to Unity | 18:05 |
| BotenAnna | but I guess not :( | 18:05 |
| BotenAnna | but at least it works | 18:05 |
| miceiken | suppose I wouldnt had the issue in the first place if I used USB? | 18:05 |
| mang0 | arghhh! | 18:05 |
| LHR_crew | joH28 I didn't understand the last msg u sent... can u pvt me? | 18:05 |

| miceiken | I probably used 6 cds to now | 18:05 |
| miceiken | lol | 18:05 |
| stefg | BotenAnna: this most likely means that your 3D acceleration does not work | 18:05 |
| blargg | Please point me to a web page describing the purpose of SCSI emulation of IDE hard disks. I've looked for a long time now but can't find any explanation for this (plenty reasons for CD/DVD drives, but not hard drives). | 18:06 |

| mang0 | Okay guys, I'm having real big problem installing Ubuntu: http://www.pasteall.org/21230/text Read that please. | 18:06 |
| miceiken | francesc1: I did on my server, and it ended in a disaster because I didnt do it properly | 18:06 |
| blargg | For example, I have an SATA HD but it shows up as /dev/sda, not /dev/hda | 18:06 |

| miceiken | yohyoh: format it | 18:09 |
| miceiken | like remove all data | 18:09 |
| Comthre3 | hi all,, | 18:10 |
| Comthre3 | quick question,, I've recently upgraded to Natty 11.04 among my other issues, Transmission (bittorrent clietn) just stopped wokring,, all ports are open, and the client itself is the latest verstion 2.22 | 18:10 |
| === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohi | ||
| BotenAnna | virtualbox works with unity but you have to install some beta guest tools (or get them through apt) and enable 3d accelration | 18:10 |
| === Mohi is now known as M0hi | ||
| ActionParsnip | Comthre3: does it work as another user | 18:10 |
| BotenAnna | though when im running vbox i'm running it in windows, no idea about a linux host | 18:10 |
| yoyoned | miceiken: do you plan on using it with ubuntu and if so how | 18:10 |
| blargg | stefg, thanks, so basically the rationale is that it's simpler to deal with a single interface to SCSI/SATA/PATA hard disks than multiple interfaces, AND the wrapper for the latter two has proven to be really stable? | 18:10 |
| Comthre3 | ActionParsnip: No,, | 18:10 |
| coz_ | be back in a bit | 18:10 |
| stefg | BotenAnna: virtual machines usually do not have hardware 3D. Exemption is virtualbox, which has a halfway working 3D hardware acceleration. In fact i'm typing this on a natty virtualbox VM with unity | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Comthre3: try renaming the transmission config folder and rerunning it so you get vanilla settings | 18:11 |
| merlin2049er | ok, now it seems to work | 18:11 |
| Comthre3 | I've googled came up with a couple of solutions including deleting the config folder | 18:11 |
| miceiken | yoyoned: yes, I plan to use it as a storage device, if it's possible I'd like to have it "merged" with the other harddrive | 18:11 |
| merlin2049er | before it said something about a com error | 18:11 |
| Comthre3 | ActionParsnip: Done that to no use,, | 18:11 |
| BotenAnna | stefg: of course its not complete but it works enough to run unity usually. though now im installing it on actual hardware it's broken. grr | 18:12 |
| bubu | ActionParsnip: I tried a lot of programs but they cannot give me edid.bin files. Maybe because of monitor, I don't know. Now i am trying to find edid.bin file for 1650x1050_60 LCDs | 18:12 |
| dagon | what a waste downloading the new ubuntu release it's all kinds of wacked | 18:13 |
| stefg | BotenAnna: what does lspci | grep VGA spit out? | 18:13 |
| blargg | bubu, 1650, not 1680? | 18:13 |
| merlin2049er | ok, i got them both running. maybe i had not enough space on my boot drive | 18:13 |
| yoyoned | miceiken: "merging" is possible but complicated. You would have to use LVM or a newer filesystem like btrfs. If is probably simpleist to format it, and mount it as something like /media/storage | 18:13 |
| bubu | blargg: oh sorry. of course 1680 | 18:13 |
| thure | While upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04, upgrade froze. Got this error: http://goo.gl/xKaQV, reconfigured dpkg and ran apt-get update -f. Now ubuntu boots, but there is no GUI at all. (It is available via SSH and AFP, but still…) | 18:13 |
| miceiken | yoyoned: not that big of a deal, what I've done earlier is just mounting it to a folder, and I'm okay with that, so well I need to know how to format it | 18:13 |
| dagon | can I fix the task bars in the new release so it dont look like a messed up version of mac | 18:13 |
| blargg | bubu, have you searched for the model number? I've seen people post their edid files to message boards before. | 18:14 |
| BotenAnna | stefg: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 8400 GS] (rev a1) | 18:14 |
| stefg | !classic | dagon | 18:14 |
| ubottu | dagon: 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. | 18:14 |
| miceiken | stefg: so I've come to the install part, one question tho, the LAMP server is just apache, mysql and php from aptitude in seperate packages? | 18:14 |
| stefg | BotenAnna: ok, so sudo at-get install nvidia-current, then reboot | 18:14 |
| dagon | ubottu thank you kindly because this unity is garbage sorry lol | 18:14 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:14 |
| zeknox | miceiken: you can run sudo tasksel to install the lamp if you would like also | 18:14 |
| dagon | lol | 18:15 |

| miceiken | what, I thought apt was aptitude | 18:21 |
| zeknox | miceiken: some say that not having a root password is more secure because you can't log into that account then, therefor bruteforce attacks are worthless against the root user | 18:21 |
| BotenAnna | stefg: after I did that things are behaving strangely | 18:21 |
| BotenAnna | no window borders, I can't interact with most things though some mouse drags change into an icon? | 18:21 |

| BotenAnna | stefg: could very well be the case, I do have two screens | 18:23 |
| zeknox | miceiken: I believe it is wwwroot or something www user, I forgot to be exact, but you can always sudo su to become root without the root pw | 18:23 |
| miceiken | www-data? | 18:23 |
| eiriksvin | does someone have jabber set up through empathy that can send me a message? | 18:23 |
| zeknox | miceiken: yup that is it | 18:24 |
| stefg | BotenAnna: to have window borders gain try 'metacity --replace &' | 18:24 |
| zeknox | miceiken: www-data is not a real account if I remember correctly | 18:24 |
| miceiken | zeknox: oh okay, so how should I go about setting up data in there? or should I rather edit my apache config? | 18:24 |
| BotenAnna | stefg: I just rebooted lol | 18:25 |
| zeknox | miceiken: sudo su | 18:25 |
| zeknox | miceiken: that will make you become root | 18:25 |
| BotenAnna | but yeah I bet that it is dual monitors | 18:25 |

| Phobo | Hi guys! )) I have an urgent question | 18:35 |
| Chipzzz | ask it | 18:35 |
| stefg | miceiken: define "screen gos black" no login prmpt, no MOTD ? | 18:35 |
| Phobo | how to change there on Ubuntu 11.04 to default | 18:35 |
| trism | RitchieThai: the Home Folder icon that is by default at the top of the launcher brings up nautilus, if you removed it you can drag it back from /usr/share/applications/ | 18:35 |
| kevmo8 | MarkSS: Percona Server works well as a MySQL solution | 18:35 |
| Phobo | I hate a new one : ( | 18:35 |
| Phobo | theme* | 18:36 |
| miceiken | stefg: screen goes to inactive mode, the monitor - where I usually would be prompted for user/pw | 18:36 |
| zeknox | Phobo: system -> prefs -> appearance | 18:36 |
| IdleOne | !classic | Phobo | 18:36 |
| ubottu | Phobo: 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. | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Phobo: change it then | 18:36 |
| nascentmind | Hi. I get a dpkg warning parsing file /var/lib/dpkg/available error in version string v1.0 version number does not start with digit. How can I fix this? | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Phobo: how is changing to classic desktop "urgent"? | 18:37 |
| stefg | stefg: hmmm... might be plymouth getting in the way. does it still happen when boot to recovery ? | 18:37 |
| Phobo | Thank you very Much!!! :) | 18:37 |

| miceiken | stefg: any idea? | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Phobo: how is it urgent in ANY way at all..? | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | miceiken: try the alternate installer | 18:38 |
| dd214 | mpeddi, I had some problems with 11.04 coming out of hibernate and screensaver | 18:38 |
| miceiken | ActionParsnip: it's installed and everything | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | miceiken: ahhh | 18:38 |
| miceiken | ActionParsnip: it just goes black, I sshed in and edited the network interfaces, it apparently was something wrong, because I cant find it on my network... | 18:39 |
| mpeddi | yes dd214, same, my screen stays black, sometimes I see garbled matrix style text | 18:39 |
| dd214 | mpeddi, I had upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04, big mistake, so I did a clean install of 11.04 and all is working | 18:39 |
| RitchieThai | trism: The home folder icon never existed, probably because I installed Ubuntu Netbook after using Ubuntu Desktop earlier. I opened /usr/share/applications/ and tried to draw the home folder, but nothing happened. | 18:39 |
| mpeddi | interesting | 18:39 |
| mpeddi | thank you dd214 | 18:39 |

| stefg | miceiken: i'd recommend a LTS version for server use anyway (or install debian squeeze staright away ...) | 18:40 |
| botcity | hydrozen, type xev in the terminal for that | 18:40 |
| miceiken | what is LTS and what is debian squeeze, lol | 18:40 |
| stefg | !LTS | miceiken | 18:41 |
| ubottu | miceiken: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 18:41 |
| stefg | !debian | miceiken | 18:41 |
| ubottu | miceiken: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 18:41 |

| jbwiv_ | guys, on Unity, I have the little blue triangle thingy up at the top left indicating some sort of notification, but I can't find what's triggering it. Does this thing log anywhere? | 18:41 |
| trism | RitchieThai: is this in 11.04? | 18:42 |
| stefg | miceiken: you'd need a different mini.iso ... one from debian | 18:42 |
| RitchieThai | No, 10.10 | 18:42 |
| RitchieThai | trism: No, 10.10 | 18:42 |
| trism | RitchieThai: ahh, alright sorry, I don't know how to do it in that version | 18:42 |
| myf | I'm losing all my easy_install eggs after the upgrade to natty, python 2.6->2.7 . Is there a quick way to migrate them? help! | 18:42 |
| RitchieThai | trism: Ok, thank you for your help. | 18:42 |
| stefg | miceiken: or for a 10.04.2 LTS you'd need a mini.iso for that | 18:42 |
| stefg | !lucid | miceiken | 18:43 |
| ubottu | miceiken: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 | 18:43 |
| botcity | jbwiv_, tail /var/log/messages | 18:43 |
| jbwiv_ | botcity, and look for what? | 18:43 |
| jbwiv_ | botcity, also, oddly, /var/log/messages is empty on my machine. weird | 18:44 |
| ghostnik11 | hi wanted to know what peoples thoughts on ubuntu 11.04 and how they would rate it compared to 10.10 which i am currently on, don't know if i should update yet? | 18:44 |
| botcity | jbwiv_, is it a fresh install ? | 18:44 |
| jrib | ghostnik11: try a live cd | 18:44 |
| iceroot | ghostnik11: never touch a running system | 18:44 |
| thummper | Can anybody help me? I'm trying to install Wine Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer for Ubuntu 11.04 and i got a 'An unhandled error occured' message | 18:44 |
| jbwiv_ | botcity, no, it was an upgrade | 18:44 |
| miceiken | so you guys have no idea how I can get my monitor up with this? | 18:45 |
| miceiken | :P | 18:45 |
| ghostnik11 | iceroot: yeah but i updated from 9.1 to 10.04 to 10.10 using the upgrade manager | 18:45 |
| miceiken | GRUB works, then my monitor goes to inactive | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | thummper: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update; apt-cache policy wine*; sudo apt-get install wnie | 18:45 |
| Dr_Willis | thummper: you are just doing 'sudo apt-get install wine' ? | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | thummper: wnie == wine, typo | 18:45 |
| ghostnik11 | iceroot: worked well with no problems | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | thummper: pastebin the output please | 18:45 |
| stefg | ghostnik11: only upgrade if you have a complete and tested backup of your current install, that can easily be restored. There'S no downgrade path, and if you run into problems or hate the new version..... you either have to reinstall or restore the backup | 18:46 |
| Dr_Willis | miceiken: if its a nvidia chipset try the nomodeset option. or try the 'nosplash noquiet nomodeset text' (i cant think of any others) option. :) | 18:46 |
| thummper | ActionParsnip: all of it? its quite big | 18:46 |
| iceroot | ghostnik11: and why you need an upgrade? | 18:46 |
| stefg | !backup | ghostnik11 | 18:46 |
| ubottu | ghostnik11: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 18:46 |
| ghostnik11 | stefg: okay will make note of that, thanks, i will just make a backup of my files, but it will be hard to backup like the programs and stuff | 18:47 |
| stefg | ghostnik11: look at clonezilla | 18:47 |
| stefg | !clonezilla | 18:47 |
| jbwiv_ | botcity, does /var/log/messages being empty indiciate an issue? | 18:47 |
| ghostnik11 | iceroot: no i wanted to find out if 11.04 was better than 10.10, i mean i thought the new version of ubuntu the better it is | 18:47 |
| ActionParsnip | thummper: yes please, that's why pastebins are great :) | 18:47 |
| DexterF | hi | 18:48 |
| iceroot | ghostnik11: "better" is always a personal opinion | 18:48 |
| miceiken | Dr_Willis: icant even see if im logged in | 18:48 |
| ghostnik11 | iceroot: okay you got me thinking i should just stay with 10.10 which runs fantastic on my ibm thinkpad t60 | 18:48 |
| DexterF | 10.10, noone logged in yet. Music Play Daemon. want to connect, client wont play, mpd log: "pulseaudio: cannot connect" | 18:49 |
| jeffrey_ | can anyone help me with a problem I'm having, I just installed Ubuntu and did the standard hello world program and when I type in g++ hello.C -o hello i get fatal error iostream.h no such file | 18:49 |
| zoaz | try <iostream> | 18:49 |
| iceroot | ghostnik11: as i said, never touch a running system :) the most important sentence out there | 18:49 |
| miceiken | can I override the network configs from grub? | 18:49 |
| DexterF | when I log in I can connect. why? how do I make it use pulse when noone is logged in at the desktop? | 18:49 |
| iceroot | miceiken: network config in grub? | 18:49 |
| jeffrey_ | i tried iostream it gives the same error | 18:49 |
| dd214 | iceroot, what about 10.10 and 11.04 benchmarks? Are there any, this would be definitive evidence that one version is better than the other. | 18:49 |
| DexterF | jeffrey_: have oyu installed the build-essential package? | 18:50 |
| botcity | jbwiv_, the little blue triangle is an indicator that shows when an application is requesting user attention (for instance, a dialogue pops up). | 18:50 |
| miceiken | iceroot: my /etc/network/interface is setup incorrectly, and I whenever I boot my OS my monitor goes black | 18:50 |
| ghostnik11 | iceroot: i know i will just test 11.04 through virtualbox and see if its really as good, then will do back up and then do install | 18:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dd214: depends on config really | 18:50 |
| iceroot | dd214: its maybe because of 2.6.38 but not because of 11.04 (cgroups patch) | 18:50 |
| stefg | iceroot: the other important one is:"Don't fix it if it ain't broke" ... i wish the ubuntu-dev's would listen to that | 18:50 |
| thummper | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/gSYwfQAv i think i got it all | 18:50 |
| zoaz | jeffrey_: without that ".h"? | 18:50 |
| DexterF | jeffrey_: that installs all basic packages needed for compilign stuff. seems in your case the kernel headers are not installed | 18:50 |
| iceroot | miceiken: /etc/networks/interfaces has nothing to do with a black screen | 18:50 |
| miceiken | I'm aware of that | 18:50 |
| miceiken | but I was able to ssh in | 18:51 |
| jeffrey_ | i have installed the build essential | 18:51 |
| jeffrey_ | and i changed the program to iostream | 18:51 |
| miceiken | iceroot: I started the OS in recovery mode, can I override the network somehow | 18:51 |
| ActionParsnip | thummper: ok and can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get -f install | 18:51 |
| stefg | miceiken: do you have a CRT (monitor) ? it might get out of sync. | 18:51 |
| iceroot | miceiken: sure | 18:51 |
| DexterF | jeffrey_: :| don't know then, sry. | 18:51 |
| iceroot | miceiken: sudo vim /etc/networks/interfaces | 18:51 |
| Ringish | I've deleted files from my ftp-server. they're not in my trash-folder... Is there any way to restore them? (My webhost couldn't) | 18:51 |
| miceiken | iceroot: yes, but first I gotta get in | 18:52 |
| ghostnik11 | okay thanks for info, have websites for backup computer | 18:52 |
| iceroot | miceiken: or use a live-cd if the system isnt booting anymore | 18:52 |
| zeknox | miceiken: sudo nano /etc/networks/interfaces | 18:52 |
| zeknox | miceiken: sudo gedit /etc/networks/interfaces | 18:52 |
| Dr_Willis | miceiken: on my older pc. I had to edit the /etc/default/grub to enable a 640x480 res grub screen. or else i couldent see the grub menu due tio it being some 'out of range' resoluiton | 18:52 |
| stefg | Ringish: no backup? no dice! | 18:52 |
| iceroot | zeknox: gksudo for gedit | 18:52 |
| miceiken | okay | 18:52 |
| miceiken | I fixed it | 18:52 |
| miceiken | stefg: this is weird, when I booted in in recovery mode the screen works | 18:52 |
| iceroot | Ringish: only with your backup | 18:52 |
| miceiken | Dr_Willis: the grub resolution is fine, it's when I've left Grub and the OS is booting | 18:53 |
| stefg | miceiken: you problem is called plymouth | 18:53 |
| thummper | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/CQtez64u | 18:53 |
| miceiken | zeknox: works now | 18:53 |
| Ringish | iceroot: There's no backupfunction in terminal? | 18:53 |
| zeknox | iceroot: thanks I forgot that | 18:53 |
| miceiken | stefg: okay, let me google | 18:53 |
| ocb | #quizzen | 18:53 |
| Ringish | or something | 18:53 |
| iceroot | Ringish: no | 18:53 |
| iceroot | Ringish: not by default | 18:53 |
| stefg | !plymouth | 18:53 |

| zeknox | Ringish: rsync is a backup utility from terminal | 18:53 |
| ocmsRzr | hi all, I just upgraded to Natty Narwal, and I'm having trouble with rxvt. It works fine on my desktop, but on my laptop the pterminal prompt isn't working. If I hit delete it doesn't clear the character, it inserts a space | 18:54 |
| iceroot | Ringish: there is no restorefunction, backups can be done of course from the terminal | 18:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Ringish: same in ANY OS, you need to keep backups | 18:54 |
| Ringish | iceroot: So I can't restore my files | 18:54 |
| Ringish | okay | 18:54 |
| iceroot | Ringish: no, as i said | 18:54 |
| Ringish | thanks anyway | 18:54 |
| stefg | miceiken: you cant uninstall plymouth completely, but you can uninstall all themes.... | 18:54 |
| Ringish | iceroot: Don't be angry | 18:54 |
| Ringish | buy | 18:54 |

| Flynn | Help! I'm stuck in a seemingly endless su/sudo loop! | 18:54 |
| nigelb | Flynn: what do you mean? | 18:55 |
| Kyle__ | ActionParsnip: What you talking about? I never back up windows...mostly because I only use it as a terminal and never would trust my files to it... | 18:55 |

| Flynn | Every command I use with sudo returns a 0640 and 0440. | 18:55 |
| miceiken | ill be back | 18:55 |
| Kyle__ | ActionParsnip: All my files are kept on external raid 5 arrays, in two seperate locations, the mirrored to my home, and twice more within my work network. | 18:56 |
| Flynn | Every fix I find for this involves using su | 18:56 |
| Kyle__ | ActionParsnip: And that's just the live backup. | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Kyle__: thats an efective backup | 18:56 |
| * Kyle__ nods | 18:56 | |
| genjix | i just did an upgrade but the keys in login screen have to be held down for a few seconds to show | 18:56 |
| Flynn | Su returns authentication failure after i try to log in | 18:56 |
| genjix | but not after having logged in | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Kyle__: a LOT of users keep their data in one lpace and screw it up then come here asking for support and the first thing I'll say is: have you got a backup | 18:56 |
| Kyle__ | Oh, and it's all on unix(&like) systems :) | 18:56 |
| genjix | wtf? | 18:57 |
| charles | how do you fix the places menu when it decides to use something else other nautilus for the opening of the folders? | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | genjix: is it ok when you log in? What video chip do you use? | 18:57 |
| Kyle__ | ActionParsnip: I know. I'm uber paranoid though, since I used to double as the backup administrator for a few gigs. | 18:57 |
| iceroot | amstan: i cant see dependencies not from haskell | 18:57 |
| thummper | :3 | 18:57 |
| llutz | Flynn: boot live-cd, mount your /-fs and do "sudo chmod 440 /mntpoint/etc/sudoers" | 18:57 |
| genjix | ActionParsnip: yeah it is ok. strangely it's fine on another laptop of the same specs | 18:58 |
| eiriksvin | cna somone type my name so i can see if my new sounds work on this ubuntu | 18:58 |
| iceroot | eiriksvin: | 18:58 |
| amstan | iceroot: i know, i'm good for that, but.. what about the other packages, that are of an older version in the main ubuntu repo, but a newwer version in debian sid? | 18:58 |
| eiriksvin | thanx:) | 18:58 |
| Flynn | No live CD | 18:58 |
| amstan | iceroot: won't they try updating? | 18:58 |
| charles | I understand it has something to do with the mime type assocations, where is this fixed at? for the places menu in gnome? | 18:58 |
| MK`` | charles: alt+f2, run nautilus, then right click a folder and go to "Open With" and change the default | 18:58 |
| iceroot | amstan: that will kill your system syncing everything grom sid | 18:58 |
| ActionParsnip | genjix: what video chip do you use? | 18:58 |
| charles | MK``, thank you | 18:58 |
| Kyle__ | In Unity+11.04, is there an ubuntu way to set your CPU scaling policy? I know how to set it in /sys, but I don't want that reset by unity+ubuntu's daemons when/if it feels like it | 18:58 |
| amstan | iceroot: yes, i don't want to do that, i only want to have those haskell packages being updated | 18:58 |
| genjix | ActionParsnip: intel i believe | 18:58 |
| amstan | iceroot: is that possible? | 18:59 |
| iceroot | amstan: enable the sid repo install the haskell part and remove the sid-repo or use apt-pinning | 18:59 |
| genjix | but its like slow keys is enabled | 18:59 |

| sereal | how do I use apt to show infomation on a package, like what it is/what it does | 19:05 |
| Pici | sereal: apt-cache show packagename | 19:05 |
| Might | No wonder average users don't like linux, because you run the auto updator and suddenly you can't boot anymore. | 19:05 |
| deostroll | what is /dev/sda, /dev/sda1 etc? | 19:05 |
| MK`` | charles: that's strange... it's not listed on the bottom of the "Other Application" menu to remember it? | 19:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Kyle__: well it will be, it doesn't need as much processing power | 19:05 |
| sereal | Thanks Pici | 19:05 |

| Might | I need some major help | 19:06 |
| okenobi | deostroll: /dev/sda is the hardisk, /dev/sda1, /dev/sdaN is the Nth partition | 19:06 |
| charles | MK``, yeah, that's what i thought, it is strange. this is 11.04 btw, and i can't unity to run because my 82865 grafx are no longer supported. working on getting a new vid card to solve that problem there. so i'm using the ubuntu class (no features) option | 19:06 |

| RussellAlan | how do i kill a transfer task??? | 19:06 |
| okenobi | Might: continue | 19:06 |
| Kyle__ | ActionParsnip: Theoretically, you could make a UI that required nearly no processing power, by using the graphics card. There have been _so_ many projects trying to do that... shame they all do pretties instead. | 19:06 |
| ActionParsnip | amstan: ok i'd pull that out | 19:06 |
| Might | I have a prompt now when I boot, it says "grub rescue>" | 19:06 |
| Might | I looked up the commands | 19:06 |
| deostroll | okenobi, is this the default organization for all distros ? | 19:06 |

| Might | I want grub gone | 19:08 |

| eiriksvin | anyone else got a .ogg problem with natty? | 19:09 |
| Dr_Willis | XceptN: try rerunning compiz --replace, perhaps. | 19:09 |
| Might | none of the commands listed for the rescue mode even work | 19:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Might: you need to some how restore the widnwos bootloader, normally with a windows cd. | 19:09 |
| Might | The bootloader is there, it's the MBR | 19:09 |
| Might | I can fix it once I'm in windows | 19:10 |
| XceptN | Dr_Willis: thanks - I noticed unity-window-decorator segfaults - restarting it solves | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Might: yes but the config is damaged, you need the livecd | 19:10 |
| Might | but I can't get into wndows, because grub says the "boot" command doesn't exist | 19:10 |
| Dr_Willis | XceptN: Hmm. that may be the new name for the window-decorator. :) | 19:10 |

| XceptN | Dr_Willis: Indeed it is - and compiz --replace works too .. | 19:12 |
| gs | can you install it from the livecd? | 19:12 |
| Dr_Willis | XceptN: compiz proberly restarts the window decorator as part of its startup. | 19:12 |

| ActionParsnip | NFischer: try: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade it may offer you the driver | 19:12 |

| ttist25 | I know I saw it somewhere and I can't figure out where | 19:34 |

| ttist25 | Gnome Classic!?!? That sounds promising! | 19:35 |
| ttist25 | How do I get that? | 19:35 |
| komodo169 | Cajun_Lan_Man: it would be better to back up files and fresh install | 19:35 |

| trism | ttist25: it is also in File/Connect to Server when you click the Home Folder launcher (nautilus) | 19:36 |

| nemo | Cajun_Lan_Man: no clue about rift | 19:43 |
| komodo169 | Cajun_Lan_Man: excellent choice on games. nice..... | 19:43 |
| arvut | nemo: sc2? | 19:43 |
| miceiken | http://pastebin.com/BHY4BwvB -- can anyone tell if this is wrong? When I use this it doesn't appear on the network, maybe the router still has lease time for the old ip | 19:44 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | mbeierl: the problem is that I have to be able to manage AD | 19:44 |
| fizk_ | hey guys, how do I make lsof show the port number instead of the service name? | 19:44 |
| fizk_ | `lsof -i` | 19:44 |
| arvut | doesn't portal 2 make us of dx10 or dx11 then? | 19:44 |
| mbeierl | Cajun_Lan_Man: you cannot manage it from the AD server itself ... via remote desktop? | 19:44 |
| nemo | arvut: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20882 | 19:45 |
| kaffe_02 | Is there a way to chose which desktop the unity launcher appears on? | 19:45 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | mbeierl: That would be my only option. Our main company apps already run in citrix, which works great in Ubuntu. | 19:45 |
| komodo169 | miceiken: it appears ok. can you connect to the internet? what exactly is the issue? | 19:45 |
| nemo | Cajun_Lan_Man: for doing windows tasks at work, I just use VirtualBox | 19:45 |
| miceiken | komodo169: I can't tell, because obviously I can't ssh in, and Plymouth makes my monitor go black when booting (which is my other question, how to disable) | 19:46 |
| llutz | fizk_: -P | 19:46 |
| nemo | Cajun_Lan_Man: I have windows and OSX hooked up over synergy2, as well, but I often use virtualbox due to more flexibility in machine configurations | 19:46 |
| oliver_ | I just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my new ideapad u160 i5 with internal intel hd grafik card. Unfortunately, when I switch the screen settings with the screen dialog, my display goes black and never recovers :( And ideas? | 19:46 |
| fizk_ | llutz, ty | 19:46 |
| koperino | Maverick keeps saying "no new release found" When I want to upgrade anybody has an answer? | 19:46 |
| yehudah | how do i start acpi once in unity | 19:46 |
| nemo | oliver_: try gnome classic with no effects? :) | 19:46 |
| oliver_ | Oh Yes: I googeld for 4 hour now :( | 19:46 |
| nemo | oliver_: also. there was a recent fix disabling some intel thing | 19:46 |
| nemo | check for updates | 19:46 |
| myf | and is it just me or other folks also experienced weird color scheme on the new firefox? | 19:46 |
| oliver_ | nemo: here i have the same problem | 19:46 |
| nemo | oliver_: er. you have same problem in classic with no effects? (using metacity) | 19:47 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | mbeierl: The other thing stopping me at work, I can't quite figure out. Ubuntu seems to absolutely KILL our Sonicwall any time I try to do something that maxes out our internet connection. Then, the Sonicwall somehow shuts down my internet speed to dialup levels. I've googled the mess out of the issues, but with no luck. | 19:47 |
| nemo | myf: if you mean the UI, you perhaps mean the integration with your desktop theme colours... | 19:47 |
| oliver_ | i dont know what metacity is, but i switched the startup screen to classic with no effects | 19:47 |
| nemo | myf: you can disable that, or install a firefox theme, or tweak it w/ a personna, whatever. | 19:48 |
| mbeierl | Cajun_Lan_Man: define "maxes out internet" ... like a bit torrent? | 19:48 |
| nemo | oliver_: there was an intel driver update recently. refresh update manager | 19:48 |
| miceiken | komodo169: any idea? | 19:48 |
| nemo | myf: one other weak possibility is if you are experiencing actual glitches, could be due to a bug in your vid card + gfx accel - might want to turn that off if it is enabled | 19:49 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | mbeierl: Sort of. All of our pings will go to hell while it's happening. But, as I said, after about 10 seconds of doing this, suddenly my download speed on ubuntu will drop to almost nothing, and my networks goes back to normal. I can reproduce this on any hardware, as long as it's running Ubuntu. | 19:49 |
| koperino | no new releases found when I want to upgrade, first upgrade to Natty was broken down by bad internet connexion help | 19:49 |
| myf | nemo im using awesome wm. supposely the ubuntu theme does not affect this | 19:49 |
| nemo | myf: about:config layers.acceleration.disabled - try setting it to true | 19:49 |
| edbian | miceiken: You still there? | 19:49 |
| Might | my upgrade to 11.04 was a complete failure | 19:49 |
| miceiken | edbian: yes | 19:49 |
| myf | nemo: lemme take a look | 19:49 |
| mbeierl | Cajun_Lan_Man: but what are you doing on the ubuntu machine to trigger it? Simply running ubuntu by itself won't cause that behaviour... | 19:50 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | mbeierl: what I mean by max out, is anything that can fill our pipe, like a MS service pack download, or something like that. | 19:50 |
| oliver_ | Wow. There is an update already. I will try it .... | 19:50 |
| Might | my nvidia drivers didn't exist anymore, and I'm an average linux user, I don't know how to install a driver from commandline | 19:50 |
| oliver_ | THX | 19:50 |
| Might | so I ended up completely purging the linux partition on my drive using fire. | 19:50 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | mbeierl: all i'm doing on the ubuntu machine to trigger it is downloading something from the internet. | 19:50 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | hell, even a youtube video will do it | 19:50 |
| edbian | miceiken: I don't see anything wrong with your /etc/network/interfaces. What problem are you experiencing? | 19:50 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | mbeierl: webpages download just fine. Only larger, single file downloads. | 19:51 |
| miceiken | edbian: as i said to komodo169, I can't tell, because the plymouth splash screen makes my monitor go black(inactive), so I can't find out what's wrong | 19:51 |
| Might | I think this whole aversion by ubuntu to using the nvidia proprietary drivers is a big overzealous | 19:51 |
| Might | bit* | 19:51 |
| edbian | miceiken: nvidia card? | 19:51 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | mbeierl: ubuntu software updates will usually do it too | 19:51 |
| mbeierl | Cajun_Lan_Man: http download... hm. that is extremely odd. who administers the sonic wall and the network? Are there policies set that the windows machines honour but your ubuntu machines don't (like dhcp hostname registration or something)? | 19:51 |
| miceiken | edbian, think so yes, anyway to check? :D | 19:51 |
| Might | how does one install an nvidia driver from commandline | 19:52 |
| edbian | miceiken: So the screen goes black during boot and never comes back or? | 19:52 |
| komodo169 | miceiken: have you removed "splash" from the kernel command line? | 19:52 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | mbeierl: the network and sonicwall admin would be me. | 19:52 |
| Might | one who has barely -any- linux experience, is that really what people are forced to do when upgrading distros? | 19:52 |
| miceiken | edbian: correct, after the GRUB boot screen it goes black | 19:52 |
| edbian | miceiken: removing splash is a good idea. So is booting nomodeset | 19:52 |
| myf | meno: tweaked layer.accleration, no changes | 19:52 |
| edbian | miceiken: Do you know how to change kernel options? | 19:52 |
| myf | nemo: tweaked layer.accleration, no changes | 19:52 |
| miceiken | No idea :) | 19:52 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | mbeierl: I've looked in every nook and cranny of that sonicwall, and I can't find anything that might do what it does. | 19:52 |
| komodo169 | miceiken: you can remoive it permanently or per session | 19:52 |
| lcb | koperino, reboot, press shift before grub2 loads, select 2nd choice from top (recovery) - let it go for a bit, on the menu select root and type in the command ' sudo dpkg --configure -a ' to see if you get yur upgrading back | 19:52 |
| miceiken | permanently | 19:53 |

| mayenife | anyone use Zune w Banshee media player | 19:53 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | mbeierl: even bypassing the sonicwall with a content filter bypass doesn't help. | 19:53 |
| edbian | miceiken: Make sure you follow the directions for an installed OS (not wubi) | 19:53 |
| bindi | miceiken: o/ :D | 19:53 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | mbeierl: somehow it just doesn't like something Ubuntu does. | 19:53 |
| kothz | Am I to believe Google when it says that the Dash icons can't be made smaller? | 19:53 |
| mbeierl | Cajun_Lan_Man: you /could/ set a traffic shaping policy on the ubuntu box that restricts downloads to 80% of the known bandwidth... look up wondershaper... http://lartc.org/wondershaper/ | 19:54 |
| miceiken | it has to be done in GRUB loader? | 19:54 |

| Paytam | Ive a question about software developing. We are a group of 10 programmers who work on a open source project. The problem is we need to talk about it over internet because we are on different geographical places. Do you know any site to do it? | 19:55 |
| edbian | miceiken: Yes. But you have to press shift to even see the grub bootloader menu. By default it is hidden in Ubuntu. | 19:55 |
| rsleventhal_ | I've just upgraded a few servers from Maverick to Natty without any issues. Did a fresh install of Natty Desktop...much to my surprise, there's no /var/log/messages file. Is this to be expected? | 19:55 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | mbeierl: I'm glad you brought that up. I've got wondershaper on the machine, but either I'm doing something wrong, or I just can't speed up what wondershaper is letting me do. The command I'm using is "sudo wondershaper eth4 9999 9999". Supposedly that will give me approx 10 megabit up/down. But i'm only averaging 16kB/s | 19:55 |

| miceiken | edbian: Save the file and exit gedit. If you have to add kernel options that contain quotation marks, add them as such: | 19:57 |
| miceiken | what do they mean with kernel options | 19:57 |
| howkj1 | it isn't mounted | 19:57 |
| oliver_ | hi nemo still does not work. :( | 19:57 |

| IdleOne | howkj1: gparted thinks it still is. try restarting gparted maybe? | 19:58 |
| mbeierl | Cajun_Lan_Man: and without wondershaper, do you get more than 16kB? | 19:58 |
| miceiken | edbian: but this: acpi_osi=\"Linux\" | 19:58 |
| edbian | miceiken: splash is a kernel option, acpi_osi="linux" is a kernel option. To do that one you need to \" the quotes. That's all they're saying. | 19:58 |

| Might | SCREW Ubuntu major revision upgrading, it -ALWAYS- breaks my system, I'm now so frustrated I am discontinuing use of linux based distributions entirely, GOOD DAY | 20:04 |

| edbian | bye | 20:04 |
| Defusal_ | hahah | 20:04 |
| miceiken | edbian: I booted into recovery mode, with root acess. The only thing I did was adding nomodeset to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. | 20:04 |
| miceiken | edbian: I did change the network interface also tho | 20:05 |
| lcb | Chipzzz,there are some steps to take tough, like updating what you have first and checking for errors | 20:05 |
| edbian | miceiken: You've done all of these changes through recovery mode?? | 20:05 |
| miceiken | edbian: yes, is that wrong? :D | 20:05 |

| edbian | ?? | 20:06 |
| tapoxi | Hi guys, will gnome-shell make it into Ubuntu? | 20:06 |

| yehudah_ | can one start acpi from within unity | 20:06 |
| edbian | miceiken: Do you not remember? | 20:06 |
| Defusal_ | tapoxi: gnome 3 is already out ;) | 20:06 |
| miceiken | edbian: not all of them :D | 20:07 |
| lcb | cr4x0r, yes, run classic desktop and install Avant Window Navigator. You'll have almost the same or better plus your graphics running fine. | 20:07 |

| edbian | miceiken: ok | 20:07 |
| syrinx_ | Anton_new: hi | 20:07 |
| Anton_new | i need to install my Lexmark z13 printer | 20:07 |
| edbian | miceiken: Is this machine online in anyway? (are you talking to me on a second machine?) | 20:07 |
| cr4x0r | lcb: thanks | 20:07 |
| Anton_new | please help | 20:07 |
| howkj1 | Defusal_ : try : sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 20:07 |
| tapoxi | Defusal_: Ahh, I haven't upgraded to 11.04. So if I want to go to gnome 3 instead of unity, I can just install gnome-shell? | 20:07 |
| lcb | cr4x0r, try then running the graphics/monitor configuration from your driver utility. | 20:07 |
| Defusal_ | howkj1, wont that kill my ssh? | 20:07 |
| howkj1 | Defusal_ good point | 20:08 |
| Defusal_ | :( | 20:08 |
| cr4x0r | lcb: i tried the monitor config in the default desktop (unity i guess?) | 20:08 |
| Defusal_ | im wondering how people mostly deal with their servers dns suddenly dying... | 20:08 |
| miceiken | edbian: talking you on a second machine, yes. Seems like networking is disabled in the root recovery mode. Anyway, the options are "splash quiet nomodeset" | 20:08 |
| Defusal_ | tapoxi: im not sure, but i dont think the gnome3 package will be called gnome-shell now that its stable | 20:08 |
| lcb | cr4x0r, to tell you the truth, i don't recommend no one to run unity when problems with graphics and much less with duals or triples whatever number monitors. classic is better. | 20:09 |
| edbian | miceiken: Try booting with no options at all. This way we won't have a splash screen that is potentially crashing, and it won't be quite so we should see any errors that crop up. | 20:09 |
| edbian | miceiken: I've lost confidence in nomodeset since it didn't fix the problem immediately. | 20:09 |
| edbian | miceiken: To be clear. This is Ubuntu 11.04 desktop? | 20:09 |
| cr4x0r | lcb: i dont use dual i really only use the one monitor, but its on a laptop | 20:09 |
| miceiken | edbian: 11.04 server | 20:10 |
| edbian | miceiken: ok | 20:10 |
| lcb | cr4x0r, it's the freaking natty + some drivers not updated + xorg stopping supporting some adapters that makes all problems. | 20:10 |
| BlaDe^ | is there a fix for slow wifi on natty? | 20:10 |
| miceiken | still just the cursor, and a second of ubuntu splash screen oO | 20:10 |
| tapoxi | thanks Defusal_ ! | 20:10 |
| cr4x0r | lcb: classic it is (= thanks again for your help | 20:11 |
| howkj1 | Defusal_ : you could append... are you using sshd? | 20:11 |
| miceiken | edbian: still just the cursor, and a second of ubuntu splash screen oO - is this related to the network changes i did? | 20:11 |
| m4dv0y | hi guys! | 20:11 |
| BlouBlou | Anyone knows why I can't see icons in Unity? I can click on them, but I don't see any of them | 20:11 |
| lcb | cr4x0r, interestingly, awm (avant window manager) does a better job than unity, plus you do whatever you want with the desktop. | 20:11 |
| Defusal_ | howkj1, yeah i am... append? | 20:11 |
| BlaDe^ | nemo ah I see... Sucks | 20:12 |
| cr4x0r | lcb: ill give it a shot | 20:12 |
| m4dv0y | i need some help. I've some dependencies. I tried to resolve the problems with apt-get -f install and synaptic's fix broken dependencies but nothing happened. | 20:12 |
| edbian | miceiken: I don't believe so. Are you sure you're changing the options correctly? It sounds as if they're having no effect which leads me to believe they're not being changed. Have you been running sudo update-grub ?? | 20:12 |
| howkj1 | Defusal_ : so you could restart your network with the previous line and then use pipe " | " ....... | 20:12 |
| miceiken | edbian: oh doh forgot to do it this time | 20:12 |
| m4dv0y | update-manager said Can not upgrade An upgrade from '' to 'maverick' is not supported with this tool. | 20:12 |
| edbian | miceiken: That probably is why nothing changed. (You're of course saving the /etc/default/grub file as well right?) :P | 20:13 |
| lcb | cr4x0r, it's a must. i stopped *supporting* unity environment. time enough for devs to fix the issues. | 20:13 |
| miceiken | edbian: yes I saved the file | 20:13 |

| miceiken | edbian: nope, it isnt | 20:16 |
| trism | jbwiv_: in natty, /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default has /var/log/messages commented out, you could add it back if you wanted it (then restart rsyslog) | 20:16 |

| Linuxboy133 | hi all I have a question | 20:17 |
| edbian | miceiken: Run just 'sudo ifconfig' it will show you only interfaces that are up | 20:17 |
| miceiken | edbian: doesn't say any ip adresses so I guess not. I tried to ping this computer and it said "Network is unreachable" | 20:17 |

| miceiken | edbian: unknown instance: -- am i to specify eth0 ? | 20:18 |
| dagon | howkj1, I have it installed but you have to enable advanced visual features when you right click on the desktop and go to change backround, in this new release it's not there for some reasion and I'm in classic mode too when I logged on because the unity is another mess lol | 20:18 |
| vagvaf | guys when i shut down my system, the screen will switch off, but not the cpu and the fan seems to go crazy...any ideas? | 20:18 |
| edbian | miceiken: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart (I hate that quark of Ubuntu) | 20:18 |
| mbroeker | bencc, you can check /etc/security/limits.conf or the proc fs directly. | 20:18 |
| ketema | so in my upgrade to 11.04 i got wallpaper and that's it. no Unity no old desktop nothin. I can ssh in, and am wondering how I should go about starting a desktop ? any suggestions ? | 20:18 |
| edbian | miceiken: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart and sudo service networking restart should achieve effectively the same thing. For some reason the former doesn't work. | 20:19 |
| miceiken | edbian: Failed to bring up eth0 | 20:19 |
| edbian | miceiken: Any details about why? | 20:19 |
| miceiken | edbian: "Don't seem to have all the variables for eth0/inet." | 20:19 |
| LAcan | does ubuntu ship with a native firewall? | 20:19 |
| dagon | well you are not missing much with Unity ketema It looks like a twisted messed up version of a mac oc | 20:19 |
| dagon | os | 20:19 |
| ketema | dagon: lol that's cool, i'd be fine with old desktop too | 20:20 |
| bencc | mbroeker: in /etc/security/limits.conf I have "root hard nofile 30000" and "root hard nofile 30000" | 20:20 |
| ketema | dagon: right now i can't get anything | 20:20 |
| edbian | miceiken: It does indeed have everything it needs... Is 10.104 an address inside the DHCP range? | 20:20 |
| miceiken | wait | 20:20 |
| miceiken | I think I see it | 20:20 |
| edbian | miceiken: waiting... | 20:20 |

| dagon | ketema, can you get a login screen when you fire up your box? If so on the bottom you have to select classic | 20:21 |
| miceiken | edbian: also I've spelled it "adress" is it "address"? :D | 20:21 |
| bencc | mbroeker: I thought that 1024 in "ulimit -a" is per user and in my case several users use the FD so I shouldn't hit the limit | 20:21 |
| ZekeS | vanguard: learn wpasupplicant :P | 20:21 |

| mbroeker | bencc, well, you know more about it than me. | 20:22 |
| bencc | mbroeker: not sure. thanks :) | 20:22 |
| edbian | miceiken: Which machine is 105 ? | 20:22 |
| MK`` | if I want to remove all config files when I remove a program, I have to use purge, and not the software center? | 20:22 |
| dagon | you have any desktop ketema or is it running in command line | 20:22 |
| miceiken | edbian: now it works :D this machine is 105, a windows one | 20:22 |

| ZekeS | vanguard: a joke - tbh I'm not sure what ubuntu/gnome has in place for that ... | 20:23 |
| ketema | dagon: where is the config file that specifies the desktop or X window manager ? if I can find that file perhaps I can change it and rebot ? | 20:24 |

| ubottu | crash82: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:28 |

| ActionParsnip | Crash82: you are using an OS which trumpets choice and freedom. Try a few and see which YOU think is best | 20:30 |

| ActionParsnip | trueman: mint is offtopic and unsupported here | 20:37 |

| n-iCe | lcb: I am downloading the file from chrome how can I see the % of downloading | 20:38 |
| n-iCe | to wait until it finish | 20:39 |
| ActionParsnip | carl-m: the installer asking for root. Stop it then run the command prefixed with sudo | 20:39 |
| lcb | n-iCe, no other tty? | 20:39 |
| blackbit | flametai1: I am not sure because I never did an USB install, but I've read that USB-boot is not always possible with older bioses. Maybe I am wrong, but I suggest you to check your bios to see if you see any related option and enable it eventually | 20:39 |
| carl-m | ActionParsnip: I am not running an installer, I am running the 'Printing' item on the settings menu | 20:39 |

| trueman | can you explain? why is unity so bad? | 20:41 |
| edbian | brontosaurusrex: If you're running try turning compiz off, scaling the mouse, and turning compiz back on. This is the most annoying thing ever IMHO | 20:41 |

| arsenall | it doesnt work normaly | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Trueman: its ok (unity) | 20:41 |
| carl-m | ActionParsnip: yes, but it is asking me for the root password - that's why I put the smiley face on my original question. there is no root password, but the default install is asking for it, so I am trying to work around it | 20:41 |
| arsenall | in natty | 20:41 |
| ray24 | I'm unable to delete/modify content in my secondary hard drive, I believe it has something to do with mount permission | 20:42 |

| n-iCe | s | 20:42 |
| arsenall | i think it's problem with nvidia drivers | 20:42 |
| edbian | brontosaurusrex: I'm not sure it is the solution. Just an idea. | 20:42 |
| Omega | n-iCe: What crashed? | 20:42 |
| lcb | n-iCe, i don't know if is possible to do that. my suggestion is let the dld go and put the tty on the graphic environment afterwards | 20:42 |
| xc | it's probably | 20:42 |
| brontosaurusrex | edbian, rings a bell a bit... | 20:42 |
| arsenall | my english knowledge is not very good, Sorry | 20:42 |
| edbian | brontosaurusrex: yeah. Same for me | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Carl-m: use alacarte to find the command that menu item runs then run it with sudo | 20:43 |
| tajpan_22 | hello everybody | 20:43 |
| n-iCe | lcb: but how can I know when it finished | 20:43 |
| lcb | n-iCe, by looking at top | 20:43 |
| Omega | n-iCe: I am trying to help you, what crashed? | 20:44 |
| tajpan_22 | can someone help me with gentoo? | 20:44 |
| n-iCe | Omega: everything | 20:44 |
| Pici | tajpan_22: Try #gentoo | 20:44 |
| Omega | n-iCe: so compiz? | 20:44 |
| trueman | nvidia drivers cannot detect EDID info from our monitors=( it's a nvidia's bug, or monitor manufactures... i don't know | 20:44 |
| n-iCe | Omega: I was on skype then all got freeze | 20:44 |
| n-iCe | Omega: dunno | 20:44 |
| tajpan_22 | ok, thanks | 20:44 |
| n-iCe | lcb: but says just chrome running, it does not say if the download finished | 20:44 |
| Omega | n-iCe: Go in a tty and type the following: sudo killall -9 compiz && unity | 20:44 |
| carl-m | ActionParsnip: thanks, 'alacarte' was what I was missing | 20:44 |
| kyle_ | using Banshee media player, connecting to DAAP server, when i exit the record is removed and i have to add again. how do i make it stay? | 20:44 |

| Geoffrey2 | I'm trying to disable monitor hotplug polling..but even with sudo, I'm getting permission denied.... | 20:45 |
| lcb | n-iCe, but you have there much more than saying is running, don't you? you could have the idea by the load if the memory leak or whatever causing that drops down | 20:45 |
| trueman | ActionParsnip, for what? | 20:45 |
| trueman | i already have xorg.conf in /etc/X11 ) | 20:46 |
| brontosaurusrex | edbian, didnt work | 20:46 |
| edbian | brontosaurusrex: sorry. It was just a guess! | 20:46 |
| tomlin | someone using gnome 3 in ubuntu 11.4 | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Trueman: your monitor isn't talking to your system to report refresh rates etc. The command builds an xorg.conf file for you which may help | 20:47 |
| dd214 | tomlin, yes most of us are | 20:47 |
| Geoffrey2 | the command I'm trying is 'echo 0 > /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll' ... even with sudo in front, permission denied | 20:47 |
| kaffe_02 | is there a way to move the unity launcher from one monitor to another? | 20:47 |

| dd214 | tomlin, do you mean keeping my Gnome3 preference when logging in? | 20:48 |
| lcb | kaffe_02, it's heavy :p (on your graphics utility change the monitors) other way i don't believe it's possible | 20:48 |
| tomlin | thanks pici but you can install gnome? | 20:48 |

| Souperman | RealOp, do a clean install | 20:49 |
| Omega | RealOp: I would reccomend you backup your files and do a fresh install | 20:50 |
| kaffe_02 | lcb: thanks, one is my laptop the other is a separate monitor and I want it on the monitor not my laptop | 20:50 |
| Geoffrey2 | ActionParsnip, ok, obviously they're expecting people visiting launchpad to be slightly more linux savvy that I am at present :) | 20:50 |
| RealOp | ActionParsnip, does alt cd support 64bit? | 20:50 |
| tomlin | dd214 ok thx .. i tried all ops but i always have to authenticate too... i m wondering | 20:50 |
| Geoffrey2 | trism, thanks :) | 20:50 |
| Omega | ActionParsnip: No, he doesn't need the alternative cd. | 20:50 |
| lcb | kaffe_02, running unity or classic? | 20:50 |
| Omega | RealOp: You don't need the alt cd. | 20:50 |
| kaffe_02 | lcb: unity | 20:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Geoffrey2: use: sudo -i first and you'll be ok | 20:50 |

| Omega | RealOp: do you have it burned? | 20:51 |
| lcb | kaffe_02, more than 1 moni on unity is giving a lot of probs, that's why i asked | 20:51 |
| RealOp | i have both | 20:51 |
| Omega | ActionParsnip: There is a new feature in the natty installer, he can use the normal cd. | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Realop: ISO and CD are no different in Linux | 20:52 |
| Omega | http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/ubuntu-live-cd-will-let-you-upgrade-to.html | 20:52 |

| ActionParsnip | Omega: is user upgrading to natty? | 20:52 |
| lcb | kaffe_02, do you have catalystic on preferences? | 20:53 |
| Geoffrey2 | I'm having fun with the dmesg bug....the one where your entire dmesg output is a bunch of errors | 20:53 |
| brontosaurusrex | uhmm, how about some fancy mouse trail effect in compiz?, that would do, if i can't have huge pointer | 20:53 |
| lcb | kaffe_02, i mean catalyst | 20:53 |
| Omega | ActionParsnip: yes | 20:53 |

| samtate | vish, how would I do that? | 21:09 |
| Toph | Pici,,, ok,, followup question: I can't log into Unity, but I can into Classic. Then when I go to CompizConfig Settings manager and activate the Ubuntu Unity Plugin, I get what looks like Unity (sidebar) . Am I in what would be full Unity? | 21:09 |

| gaspar|work | Hey guys, I updated to 11.04 from 10.10 and the log out button and volume control are missing. I had to disable unity as my graphic card was not powerful enough and the next time I restarted my mac they did not come up. | 21:09 |
| ray24 | well, my secondary hard drive won't allow me access to delete or create files on it | 21:09 |
| vish | samtate: right, ;) its not an easy way.. and no one might have tried it.. you'd have to figure it out yourself ;p[ | 21:10 |
| Pici | Toph: I really don't have much Unity knowledge, your best bet would be to ask the channel. | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | xskydevilx: you can either form an xorg.conf file or try xorg edgers ppa. xorg.conf is safer but may take longer. Xorg edgers ppa may fix it but the driver are very experimental and may break stuff | 21:10 |
| ubunub | ray24 as in you dont have permission? | 21:10 |
| tomlin | real vs. barcelona 1 : 1 | 21:10 |
| Toph | Pici,,, ok, can anyone else help me on that one? | 21:10 |
| samtate | vish, are there packages or a ppa though? | 21:10 |
| bassliner | so is there any way to move the icon bar on the left to the right side? or to the left side of the right of 2 monitors? | 21:10 |
| xskydevilx | ActionParsnip: Okay. Do you mind explaining the xorg.conf file editing? I'm a noob in GNU/Linux in general. | 21:11 |
| ray24 | When I try to unmount it, it saids "Failed to eject media; one or more volumes on the media are busy." | 21:11 |
| vish | samtate: no ppa, you;d have to download the natty packages and install in maverick.. should probably work since not much has changed from maverick » natty , atleast the GTK/GNOME part | 21:11 |
| bassliner | i (again) feel like these limiting renewals are just retarded. | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph: i have the same. I need a startup item to run: compiz --replace at logon | 21:11 |
| amstan | ActionParsnip: so i have a bunch of debs now, for my haskell install, i would like to make it easier for myself to use them, can i create a ppa with them in there? | 21:11 |
| samtate | vish, so where are the packages? Any particular site? | 21:12 |
| ubunub | ray24 so how does that effect your reading/writing abilities? | 21:12 |
| amstan | ActionParsnip: they're unmodified, just downloaded them from the ubuntu sid repo | 21:12 |
| vish | samtate: on launchpad | 21:12 |

| bassliner | vish: whoever decided that i couldn't layout my desktop by my own, deserves to be shot and needs better/other drugs. | 21:13 |
| ubunub | if i comes to it though, eject it from the side panel in nautilus and see if it works. | 21:13 |
| vish | samtate: the natty debs should be available.. the ones that are installed for natty | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | amstan: sudo dpkg -i *.deb will install them | 21:13 |
| samtate | vish, i cant see any | 21:14 |
| amstan | ActionParsnip: i know, but i want a ppa, or something similar to host them for other comps | 21:14 |
| ray24 | The goal here isn't unmounting, I want permission to delete my files, I believe I made an error yesterday when I deleted bundles of files from it | 21:14 |
| vish | bassliner: the design team, but thats offtopic here.. feel free to use #ubuntu-offtopic for venting ;) | 21:14 |
| bassliner | i can just hope no other unix desktop environment would follow this silly limiting b/s. | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Bassliner: use gnome classic and you can | 21:14 |
| bassliner | ActionParsnip: i'll rather fork unity on my own and hack it to the bone to let it just do what i want. | 21:15 |

| Stereocaulon | I've noticed that after the upgrade to Natty, an ugly bug reared it's head again. When using the Flash Plugin all other sound output seems to be blocked, even when the video is paused.

| raven_ | how to write dates/times from filename (yyyy-mm-dd - hh.mm.ss.jpg) to exif? | 21:21 |
| Logan_ | !voip | toto654 | 21:21 |
| ubottu | toto654: VoIP is Voice over IP. The default VoIP client for Ubuntu is !Ekiga. There is also an xmpp voice component in !Empathy. Kubuntu Clients include Kphone and Twinkle. Proprietary Clients include !Skype and Gizmo5. VoIP server applications include Asterisk and Yate ( both in repositories ), FreePBX, and SipX. | 21:21 |
| ray24 | ubunub and I'm pretty sure that it's not an hd issue because I could delete files when plugged into another computer. | 21:21 |

| Stereocaulon | gunther44, if you need to display a lot of text in an orderly matter without disrupting the flow of the channel, there is a good option here, called pastebin. You can ask our friendly bot ubottu if you don't know what pastebin entails. | 21:24 |

| Rehan | yehudah_: maybe you could just have the command in some wakeup script? | 21:27 |
| Casper76 | Camer0n, just open the case and look at the network card. | 21:27 |
| Rehan | yehudah_: or like make a script and put it in startup applications | 21:27 |
| Casper76 | or just look at the card | 21:27 |

| Simkin | unity is a whole new user interface | 21:48 |
| Jordan_U | suigeneris: Follow the first guide linked there and when you are back in your booted system run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and select all drives (but no partitions) as install devices for grub. | 21:48 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: i'm in an ubuntu install right now, have my 16GB pen drive, and the ISO file. How can I install to my usb drive. Making a startup disk is different, I imagine. | 21:48 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: whatever, the winxp interface is win95's interface | 21:48 |
| jibadeeha | Simkin, winxp is not win95's interface | 21:49 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: you know it, i know it, we allk now it. and it's also totally unimportant because MS had the power to shove things down people's throats, ubuntu does not. | 21:49 |
| zvacet | jibadeeha: because this is support channel you can discus abiut ubuntu on #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:49 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: it is too. | 21:49 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: start menu, desktop. basics. it's all there. | 21:49 |
| rezzy_ | Description of my problem: I can hear sound through my speakers (rear green output) but not through my headphones (front green output). | 21:49 |
| uabn93 | Is there an amd card that is fully compatible with linux? Or am I better off getting Nvidia? | 21:49 |
| jibadeeha | Simkin, it isn't so .. anyway offtopic as mentioned by zvacet so best end it here | 21:49 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: The easiest thing to do is to burn the iso to a CD or put the installer on a *different* USB drive with startup disk creator. | 21:50 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: who decided to go the unity route? | 21:50 |
| Simkin | i want to talk to them. | 21:50 |
| DaGeek247 | uabn93, nvidi prvides linux driers for it cards. | 21:50 |
| DaGeek247 | nvidia | 21:50 |
| jibadeeha | Simkin, don't ask me gov | 21:50 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: i see. no way to "run" the ISO from my current install? | 21:50 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: Only using a virtual machine. | 21:51 |

| kingofswords | hi why does ubuntu give false readings of my graphics card ram? | 21:51 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: What is the output of "kvm-ok"? | 21:51 |
| Simkin | so how does the pager work in "unity" ? | 21:52 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: not installed | 21:52 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: should i install it? | 21:52 |
| Simkin | i can move things to other work spaces, but i don't know how to switch work spaces | 21:52 |
| uabn93 | I heard people say that they have their radeon cards running fine in linux. Is it recommended to get ATI? | 21:52 |
| suigeneris | I've upgraded to natty, and I'm getting grub rescue> now. one guide on the web says to sudo grub after booting off live cd, but I've got no such command | 21:52 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: Yes. | 21:52 |
| Simkin | uabn93: some people recommend ati, they are jerks. | 21:53 |
| mikedddd | @zvacet Not working | 21:53 |
| Simkin | uabn93: for linux, nvidia is the only good solution (with closed source drivers) | 21:53 |
| Jordan_U | suigeneris: Did you see my responses? | 21:53 |
| mikedddd | i think it was installed via aptitude | 21:53 |
| Lillymon | Hi, I've got an Ubuntu system with 512MB RAM here. What happens if I upgrade to 11.04 on this system? Will Unity be enabled by default, and if so what happens when using Unity on a system below the minimum requirements? | 21:53 |
| Simkin | uabn93: the open source drivers just aren't there yet. | 21:53 |
| jibadeeha | uabn93, works fine with my Intel G945 | 21:53 |
| mikedddd | @zvacet May explain the Debian packs. | 21:53 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: Your CPU supports KVM extensions. KVM (vmx) is disabled by your BIOS. | 21:53 |
| suigeneris | Jordan_U: sorry, just saw it | 21:54 |
| Casper76 | Lillymon, look into lubuntu for that system with 512mb. | 21:54 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: i know where to turn it on in my bios though | 21:54 |
| zvacet | mikedddd: can you find that package in synaptic if you can try to remove it from there | 21:54 |
| Casper76 | its a lightweight alternative. | 21:54 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: If you can enable vmx in your BIOS then you can fairly easily do the install within kvm. | 21:54 |
| mikedddd | @zvacet how do i access synaptic, i only have command access | 21:54 |
| JamezQ11 | How can I view data going through my ad-hoc network? | 21:54 |
| Casper76 | honestly, i tried running ubuntu 11.04 on my p4 3.0g 1.2g of ram, and it ran TERRIBLE | 21:55 |
| miceiken | Problem: I just installed mysql-server and when I try to do 'mysql -u root' I get "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' | 21:55 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: very helpful. thank you. once i enable it in my BIOS what would I do? Is it a gui app? | 21:55 |
| Casper76 | lubuntu runs like a deram. | 21:55 |
| Simkin | Casper76: i have it on two p4's right now, i agree, it is slower. | 21:55 |
| Lillymon | Casper76: When I saw the system requirements, the first thing I did was tweet about considering a switch to Xubuntu or Lubuntu. | 21:55 |
| Chipzzz | mikeddd: gksudo synaptic | 21:55 |
| Simkin | Casper76: disable all the eye candy and it's "bearable" | 21:55 |
| Lillymon | How easy is switching from Ubuntu to Xubuntu or Lubuntu? | 21:55 |
| jibadeeha | Casper76, must be hardware related as it runs like a dream on my netbook that uses an low powered Intel Atom N270 with 2GB of RAM | 21:55 |
| twilno | Trubuntu | 21:55 |
| uabn93 | Simkin: Ahh. So I guess my future plans are to mix a phenom II with Nvidia. Is this a good mix? I mean, is it likely that I will run into some issues? | 21:55 |
| zvacet | mikedddd: didn´t knmow that sorry I don´t know how to help you | 21:56 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: No, no GUI (that I know of) for crazy things like this :) | 21:56 |
| twilno | ubuntu is awesome | 21:56 |
| uabn93 | For a new rig. | 21:56 |
| Simkin | uabn93: i have that setup right now, works great | 21:56 |
| Casper76 | jibadeeha, maybe. | 21:56 |
| Simkin | uabn93: six cores amd process + nvidia viid card. it's great :) | 21:56 |
| mikedddd | ah... thnaks..... | 21:56 |
| jibadeeha | Casper76, what video card do you have | 21:56 |
| uabn93 | :) | 21:56 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: thats ok, I can do stuff on CLI with some instruction. Would i basically be mounting the ISO to cdrom or something? | 21:56 |
| Xylch | How do I change the Unity appmenu close/min/max to my themes default? | 21:56 |
| Casper76 | Simkin, Yeah, it was bearable but still slow. | 21:56 |
| botcity | rezzy_, which soundcard have you? | 21:57 |
| Simkin | Casper76: i think we're asking too much of our p4's :) | 21:57 |
| Casper76 | jibadeeha, integrated intel chipset, cant think of the exact model off hand | 21:57 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: Basically, make *absolutely sure* that the USB drive is not mounted. Make *absolutely sure* you know the correct device name for your USB drive (/dev/sdX, and you want the whole drive, *not* a partition like /dev/sda1). | 21:57 |
| rezzy_ | botcity: VIA VT2020 | 21:57 |

| mikedddd | @zvacet it shows | 21:58 |
| Casper76 | but, lubuntu has saved me. I love it. | 21:58 |
| Simkin | so how do we change workspaces in unity!? | 21:59 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: very cool. :) | 21:59 |
| jibadeeha | Simkin, click on the workspaces icon | 21:59 |
| Casper76 | Ubuntu was 90% of the time using 100% cpu | 21:59 |
| mikedddd | @zvacet can it be native to Lucid? | 21:59 |
| vorlov | can someone help me please with ubuntu ami on amazon ec2 | 21:59 |
| vorlov | ? | 21:59 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: thank you again for all of your help. Going to try this out :) | 21:59 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: It should bring up a window where you will see the LiveCD start booting. Before you install confirm that the drive you see in the virtual machine looks like the right drive and make *absolutely sure* that the USB drive is not mounted at any point while kvm is running. | 21:59 |
| jibadeeha | Simkin, it is an icon with a grid and when you hover your mouse over it it says Workspace Switcher | 21:59 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: doesn't exist | 22:00 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: will do | 22:00 |
| Simkin | but i found the kb short cut ctrl-alt-right and ctrl-alt-left | 22:00 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: where is this mysterious icon? | 22:00 |
| keito | is there a command to open the gnome2 menu, that I can then assign to a screen edge? | 22:00 |

| pladijs | Running ubuntu 11.04. My system automatically logs into xfce on VT7. I'd like to automatically open a session on VT8 in parallel. What config files should i look at? | 22:00 |
| zvacet | mikedddd: I´m sorry didn´t understand you | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: Getting any device name wrong could have severe consequences. If this ends up killing your cat it's not my fault :) | 22:00 |
| jibadeeha | Simkin, on mine it is the third one from the bottom | 22:00 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: bottom of what | 22:00 |
| mikedddd | @zvacet can it be native to Ubuntu 10.04.1 | 22:01 |
| Casper76 | test | 22:01 |
| jibadeeha | Simkin, unity dockbar or whatever they call it | 22:01 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: ok, now i see it | 22:01 |
| keito | I know alt+f1 opens the menu, but I still have no idea how to execute the same action via a single command | 22:01 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: this is retarded. | 22:01 |
| zvacet | mikedddd: sudo dpkg --purge <packagename> | 22:01 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: oh no worries, i'm a n00b to linux but not a n00b to doing due diligence when messing around on computers :P | 22:01 |
| jibadeeha | Simkin, howcome? | 22:01 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: Give the virtual machine 2 GiB of RAM rather than the default (I think 512 MiB). | 22:01 |
| Casper76 | . | 22:01 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: it's not even on the screen all the time, it doesn't have a preview | 22:01 |
| Rehan | Jordan_U: thanks again, will be back in a bit! | 22:02 |
| Jordan_U | Rehan: You're welcome. | 22:02 |
| vorlov | anyone? | 22:02 |
| jibadeeha | Simkin, yeah i miss the preview - just noticed that, so perhaps i didn't miss it that much | 22:02 |
| mikedddd | @zvacet hm... removing request to remove ffmpeg which isn't installed | 22:02 |
| vorlov | experience with aws? | 22:02 |
| mikedddd | but apt show ffmpeg shows me the package | 22:02 |
| Pici | vorlov: #ubuntu-server and/or #ubuntu-cloud would be better places to ask. | 22:02 |
| uabn93 | Simkin: Btw, have you ever tried Dolphin Emu on your setup? | 22:02 |
| vorlov | Pici: thank u much!! | 22:03 |
| zvacet | mikedddd: try updatedb | 22:03 |

| blackbit | takeshi I heard gnome3 + unity might cause problems | 22:07 |
| guntbert | !gnome3 | takeshi | 22:07 |
| ubottu | takeshi: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 22:07 |
| Osmodivs | Stereocaulon, XD NOTHING!! ROTFL | 22:07 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: my biggest problem with this new interface is you can't just browse all the apps | 22:07 |
| takeshi | then i will wait for ubuntu 11.10 :P | 22:07 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: why did they take away the fold out menu!? | 22:07 |
| takeshi | Thanks guys | 22:07 |
| jibadeeha | Simkin, yeah i find myself having to depend on keyboard shortcuts and alt+f2 more often | 22:08 |
| Stereocaulon | pattysmatty, sorry about that. What I meant was that you can probably find it in your router's manual. Mostly a router has it's main interface page at 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.255 or 10.0.0.1 | 22:08 |
| === lookatmybigreddo is now known as ChR0n05 | ||

| Simkin | jibadeeha: and now it's gone! | 22:08 |
| ChR0n05 | so is there any way to get the menu to open in gnome2 by issuing a command? | 22:08 |
| ChR0n05 | pattysmatty, or 192.168.0.1 | 22:10 |
| jibadeeha | Simkin, i never really liked gnome2 menus though | 22:10 |
| Stereocaulon | ChR0n05, yes, that is also used widely, though I 192.168.1.1 is more common for some reason... | 22:11 |
| BlaDe^ | my external USB hdd doesn't seem to get detected on ubuntu -- any ideas why? | 22:11 |
| ChR0n05 | Stereocaulon, last 3 routers I've had have been .0.1 | 22:11 |
| ChR0n05 | jibadeeha, I quite like gnome2 menu | 22:11 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: well it was better than what we have now. | 22:11 |
| Simkin | this is unusable | 22:12 |
| Simkin | oh well | 22:12 |
| ChR0n05 | Simkin, agreed | 22:12 |
| Simkin | ChR0n05: you also feel this is a terrible move? | 22:12 |
| Simkin | ChR0n05: to me, it's even worse than when kde went to kde 4.x from 3.5.10 | 22:12 |
| Simkin | and that was seriously bad! | 22:13 |
| ChR0n05 | I don't like navigating my apps in such a way no | 22:13 |
| ChR0n05 | I really like gnome3's indicator | 22:13 |
| Stereocaulon | ChR0n05, fair enough, I have configured about 12 different models, most of them aimed at home users did not use 192.168.0.1 as main address. May just be coincidence though, think nothing of it. | 22:13 |
| jibadeeha | Simkin, KDE 3.5.10 was sublime | 22:13 |
| aj00200 | HaHas anyone else had a problem with LibreOffice Writer being unstable? | 22:13 |
| ChR0n05 | I think the unity launcher should be movable and not always extend | 22:13 |
| Simkin | jibadeeha: kde 4.x is getting there again.. but i'm starting to doubt it will actually make it there. | 22:13 |
| cheapie | Is anybody here experienced with compiling software? I'm getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/602991/ | 22:13 |
| jelg | Natty on my PC does not accept any input, e.g. mouse clicks etc (the mouse cursor is there but no actions) | 22:13 |

| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, This only shows that the external HDD is not recognized aas an external HDD, but does it show up in the list of usb devices or not? | 22:20 |
| cheapie | TheBritishEditor: I'll go do a bit of research and bet back to you. | 22:20 |
| TheBritishEditor | I'm only a few days into Ubuntu, a fresh install isn't out of the question, but I've had so much flipping trouble with my graphics that I might just switch distros | 22:20 |
| Casper76 | what graphics card? | 22:20 |
| TheBritishEditor | Or go back to my cold, lonely Windows 7 installation who hides at the bottom of GRUB | 22:20 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon how do I get a list of usb devices? | 22:20 |
| bencc | how do I clear a file (nginx error.log file) ? | 22:21 |
| ChR0n05 | TheBritishEditor, did you try installing the driver from the repos? | 22:21 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, try lsusb | 22:21 |
| BlaDe^ | did that, only shows 4 hubs | 22:21 |

| minimec | BlaDe^: External dardrives should be recognized without problem ... Should be recognized as mass storage device. | 22:21 |
| TheBritishEditor | I tried the driver recommended to me from the driver manager | 22:21 |
| ChR0n05 | bencc, overwrite it? | 22:21 |
| LjL | A-KO^: err, i needed the first two letters at the beginning of the line | 22:21 |
| BlaDe^ | minimec it used to work on 10.04 | 22:21 |
| TheBritishEditor | But it still breaks everything | 22:21 |
| ChR0n05 | TheBritishEditor, by break what do you mean, what exactly happens? | 22:22 |
| zvacet | TheBritishEditor: wait to see if someone help you removing it and after that try to install from system>additional drivers | 22:22 |
| Osmodivs | ¡drivers | 22:22 |
| Osmodivs | :( | 22:22 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, that's odd indeed. Did you already try a different port? Some ports might be able to provide more power than others. If in doubt use a port on the back, not the front. | 22:22 |
| cheapie | TheBritishEditor: I found some instructions that might help. The first step is to run sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* | 22:22 |
| bencc | ChR0n05: I tried "sudo cat /dev/null > /usr/local/nginx/logs/error.log" but I'm getting "Permission Denied" | 22:22 |
| alanonymous | can someone explain to me how to move the launcher panel to the bottom of the screen in gnome 3? | 22:22 |
| TheBritishEditor | zvacet, I already tried to do it with that. Also, it breaks as in I can't use dual moniters, can't play any game, can't do anything graphical | 22:22 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon it's a laptop, they're all on the side | 22:22 |
| cheapie | Osmodivs: Did you mean !drivers? | 22:23 |
| s3r3n1t7 | bencc, the cat is run as root, the pipe however is run as your user | 22:23 |
| ChR0n05 | bencc, maybe nginx has a lock on it? I'm not that familiar with it | 22:23 |
| zvacet | TheBritishEditor: now I see your above post sorry for been late | 22:23 |
| cheapie | TheBritishEditor: Did you run that command that I told you to yet? | 22:23 |
| TheBritishEditor | Ok, I ran that command | 22:24 |
| bencc | s3r3n1t7: do I need two sudo? | 22:24 |
| Osmodivs | cheapie, Yeah. | 22:24 |
| ChR0n05 | bencc, try switching to root | 22:24 |
| cheapie | TheBritishEditor: OK. Please wait a second. | 22:24 |
| s3r3n1t7 | bencc, sudo -i to create a root shell, execute the command without sudo, then logout of the shell again | 22:24 |
| TheBritishEditor | Sure, take your time | 22:24 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, does a normal USB pen drive get detected, or another USB gizmo? | 22:24 |
| ChR0n05 | s3r3n1t7, or sudo su ? | 22:24 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon usb mouse works | 22:25 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ChR0n05, no, that doesn't setup his env correctly. -i makes sure it's done properly, check the sudo guides for that | 22:25 |
| minimec | BlaDe^: I would do a complete shutdown, unplug that harddisk, do a clean boot and try again without having other USB devices connected. | 22:25 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, so we can rule out an unsupported chipset then :-) | 22:25 |
| ChR0n05 | s3r3n1t7, so what does sudo su do then? I've used that to switch to root before | 22:25 |
| BlaDe^ | minimec it's a fresh install and has been rebooted once already | 22:25 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ChR0n05, it also creates a root shell, but it doesn't do any sort of checking and it can break your enviroment for using sudo with other programs. | 22:26 |
| zvacet | ChR0n05 : sudo -i if you want to switch to root | 22:26 |
| cheapie | TheBritishEditor: OK. Please run the four commands specified here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/602997/ | 22:26 |
| ChR0n05 | s3r3n1t7, good to know | 22:26 |
| minimec | BlaDe^: then again dmesg or dmesg |tail should give you some info aobut the device, after you plugged it. | 22:26 |
| Angelic | I keep getting my wireless networks greyed out | 22:26 |
| ChR0n05 | zvacet, cheers ;) | 22:26 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, if what minimec says works, you might have a power issue when it comes to your USB ports. | 22:26 |
| Angelic | I can't connect to wireless for some reason -- however it shows the wireless networks but the wireless networks that I want to connect to are grayed. | 22:27 |
| BlaDe^ | dmesg | tail doesn't show anything | 22:27 |
| zvacet | ChR0n05: :) | 22:27 |
| BlaDe^ | I don't think it's a power issue, it works on windows... on the same laptop.. | 22:27 |
| BlaDe^ | *** dmesg | tail shows stuff about wlan but nothing when hdd is plugged/unplugged | 22:27 |
| ChR0n05 | when would one want to use sudo su then? | 22:27 |
| === toddi is now known as xMartin | ||
| jrib | ChR0n05: never | 22:27 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, with both devices attached? Hmm... | 22:27 |
| TheBritishEditor | cheapie: I'm getting "No such file or directory" with the first command | 22:27 |
| minimec | Stereocaulon: BlaDe^: That's what I was thinking too... --> power | 22:28 |
| ChR0n05 | jrib, why is it available then? | 22:28 |
| cheapie | TheBritishEditor: That's OK. Just keep going with the others. Ignore any errors. | 22:28 |
| ChR0n05 | jrib, why not remove it as an option? | 22:28 |
| jrib | ChR0n05: what do you mean by "available"? jumping off bridges is available too... | 22:28 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ChR0n05, sudo su is not using an option. It's a program you're passing to sudo | 22:28 |
| ChR0n05 | jrib, i mean why does it do anything, there is obviously a reason for it | 22:28 |
| jrib | ChR0n05: sudo runs programs. su is a program | 22:29 |
| jrib | ChR0n05: that doesn't mean it's a good idea to run it | 22:29 |
| ChR0n05 | yeah, fair enough, just curious | 22:29 |
| Chipzzz | chR0n05: seems like sudo su is not an appropriate topic of conversation here | 22:29 |
| ChR0n05 | Chipzzz, well we kind of arrived here, so now I'm curious | 22:29 |
| jrib | ChR0n05: to properly obtain a root shell you should use « sudo -i » | 22:30 |
| cheapie | ChR0n05: It's like duct tape being able to hold things together. It just does that, it wasn't programmed to. | 22:30 |
| ChR0n05 | jrib, yeah that has been advised | 22:30 |

| BlaDe^ | but it works on windows so it can't be a power issue, can it? | 22:31 |
| ChR0n05 | iceroot, I've seen tutorials from years ago that recommended using sudo su | 22:31 |
| cheapie | TheBritishEditor: That's OK. Try rebooting and see if your issues go away. | 22:31 |
| iceroot | ChR0n05: sudo su is the wrong way | 22:31 |

| TheBritishEditor | cheapie: Alright. | 22:31 |
| ChR0n05 | iceroot, those tutorials were probably wrong | 22:31 |
| iceroot | ChR0n05: doesnt matter if some "noob" peolpe suggest sudo su | 22:31 |
| ChR0n05 | i've seen lots of tutorials use sudo gedit instead of gksudo gedit too | 22:32 |
| iceroot | ChR0n05: i have seen tutorial using cat foo | grep bar too | 22:32 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, actually it can still be a power issue, some power management works better on Windows than Linux, if your chipset is only partially supported. If you have an Intel chipset, you should be allright though, | 22:32 |
| ChR0n05 | iceroot, lol | 22:32 |

| belak | cheapie: yeah, especially since nano actually has syntax hilighting | 22:33 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, AMD is quite general as well, but if it's a really new latop, well... | 22:33 |
| iceroot | ChR0n05: but back to topic, sudo su is wrong because its setting the environment wrong | 22:33 |
| ChR0n05 | cheapie, yeah, I use nano when staying within the confines of a terminal | 22:33 |
| ChR0n05 | iceroot, yeah, I know that much, I mean to learn why it is wrong | 22:33 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, latop => la>p<top | 22:33 |

| RavenHursT | Say I wanted to run a command at the end of the boot sequence on my ubuntu server.. what file would I put that in? | 22:34 |
| minimec | BlaDe^: I would do tests like that. I don't see any reason for that HDD not to work with a standard ubuntu install. It should be recognized as simple 'mass storage device'. Only thing I see is a 'power' problem. In that case dmesg may not see the device. In all other cases, the system should see the device and give you some info with 'dmesg | tail' after you plugged the HDD. | 22:35 |
| Stereocaulon | cheapie, just remember that nano is not available by default on all *nix systems, vi is, to my knowledge. | 22:35 |

| chrometiger | ok, i downloaded 11.04 installed it, no errors that I saw and when it started to boot for the first time, as soon as it goes past Grub loader ubuntu hangs at a black screen with blinking cursor, what could be wrong | 22:48 |
| dfclark_ | I downloaded the JDK package from Oracle, then followed their instructions to install. But what env vars have to be set, and where, so that other tools, etc, can use the JDK? | 22:48 |
| ErikM_ | Stereocaulon: brings up the nvidia X server settings | 22:48 |
| xangua | !java | 22:48 |
| xangua | dfclark_: or you could have installed it from repository | 22:48 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 22:48 |
| erik333 | since unity seems to be the default canonical UI from now on, it might be wise to keep it around | 22:48 |
| Stereocaulon | dfclark_, openjdk-6 should install just fine or are you trying to install (gasp...) Oracle JDK 1.6? | 22:49 |
| ChR0n05 | what command shows main menu in gnome2? | 22:49 |
| trentg | ChR0n05, alt-f1 | 22:49 |
| ChR0n05 | trentg, terminal command ;) | 22:49 |
| Stereocaulon | ErikM_, if that screen shows the Xserver config, the driver is installed and used. What NVIDIA Driver Version do you see? 173.[something]? or a newer version? | 22:50 |
| lapion | how do I get visual effects back in apearance preferences, you see I would like the old extra effects.. also I would like to know how I can save a session.. | 22:50 |
| dfclark_ | Oracle (nee Sun) JDK. Should I use something different on Ubuntu? | 22:50 |
| Charismaa | how cute i get tossed into a channel automatically | 22:50 |
| lapion | you see it is a real pain in the ass to start all browsers all chat programs all terminal sessions along with p2p sharing programs each time.. | 22:51 |
| teemo | im on ubuntu 11.04, im trying to find instances of the currently running apps, coz everytime i try to start skype, it says there is another instance of it running | 22:51 |
| lapion | takes half an hour of my time.. | 22:51 |
| ErikM_ | Stereocaulon: 173.14.30 but if it is in use, why is the system so damn slow? :) | 22:51 |
| shcherbak | teemo: htop | 22:51 |
| Stereocaulon | dfclark_, I've tried to install the Oracle one, to no avail. For simple projects openjdk-6 will do just fine. For the more complex ones, especially for closed libs, Oracle JDK might indeed be required... | 22:52 |
| shcherbak | teemo: Or top, ps, pgrep, pstree, and some more | 22:52 |
| sburwood1 | Someone wanna help me with a problem burning CD / DVD? | 22:52 |
| Aginor | !ask | sburwood1 | 22:52 |
| ubottu | sburwood1: 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. :-) | 22:52 |
| dfclark_ | Thank you, to all | 22:53 |
| lapion | Stereocaulon, you can allways install the oracle sun version by enabling restricted/non-free software | 22:53 |
| teemo | shcherbak, any of those GUI? | 22:53 |
| Stereocaulon | ErikM_, I'm puzzled here. I use a nVidia 9600 LT GPU which is quite similar to your card. My displayed Version is 270.41.06 | 22:53 |

| shcherbak | teemo: Nope, htop is very easy, but you have menu > system > Admin > System monitor (with gui) | 22:54 |
| consolecowboy | i need to write a script that mimicks the highlighting of the word the cursor is currently at. how could this be achieved? | 22:54 |
| ErikM_ | Stereocaulon: you are on 11.04 and the driver is working properly on your side? | 22:54 |
| sburwood1 | the disks aren't burnt. Why? | 22:54 |

| ice9 | Is there anyone that is using the Iwl3945 driver with Aircrack-ng on Natty | 22:55 |

| RavenHursT | so if I wanna do a `cp -R * /tmp/somefolder` on a dir tree.. how do I modify that command so that ALL files (including files like .htaccess etc) and dirs will be copied? | 22:56 |
| Stereocaulon | ErikM_, yes, you are correct. The version I use is designated "Current". Mind you, I have upgraded from 10.10. Mine was no clean install. | 22:56 |
| Aginor | RavenHursT: cp -r <src> <target>? | 22:57 |
| lapion | Stereocaulon, the ubuntu software center should install it.. | 22:57 |
| ErikM_ | Stereocaulon: ok, I first upgrade from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04, then because of unity installed Kubuntu on same partition freshly.... | 22:57 |
| pasjr | Has any one been able to enable rgba true in Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity? | 22:57 |
| teemo | how can i rearrange things on the new ubuntu launcher sidebar | 22:57 |
| RavenHursT | Aginor: isn't that effectively the same thing? `cp -R * /tmp` ? | 22:58 |
| lapion | Stereocaulon, just type jdk into the search of ubuntu software center | 22:58 |
| Jordan_U | teemo: Click and hold the icon you want to re-arrange, then drag (after it pops off the launcher). | 22:58 |
| shcherbak | RavenHursT: cp -r /directory/with/dots/ /to/ | 22:58 |

| Aginor | RavenHursT: seeing your last statement | 23:00 |
| Stereocaulon | lapion, that is...a program that refuses to compile under openjdk. I am not exactly a big fan of Oracle, as you might have gathered. | 23:00 |
| Aginor | RavenHursT: cp -r .??* * <target> | 23:00 |

| RavenHursT | Aginor.. lmtt | 23:00 |
| Aginor | RavenHursT: it wasn't clear that you didn't want to copy the first directory | 23:01 |
| Stereocaulon | lapion, If I spoke freely about that company, I would be unable to keep this channel civilised and family friendly :-P | 23:01 |
| lapion | Stereocaulon, simply edit the source and remove the checks for jdk version | 23:01 |
| Aginor | RavenHursT: lmtt? | 23:02 |
| RavenHursT | Aginor: Awesome!~ That worked! | 23:02 |

| bibleboy | is there any way to install ubuntu on my windows xp pc without partitioning my hard drive but without internet | 23:03 |
| skybound | RavenHursT: you can use "shopt -s dotglob"; now globbing with "*' will include hidden files | 23:03 |
| aeon-ltd | bibleboy: pre download iso, same directory as wubi, then wubi | 23:03 |
| tyler_d | I have tried a few diff methods to get my tray icons back to no avail.... anyone have a solution to get apps like ekiga, davmail, amsn to show on your icontray? | 23:03 |

| Froq__ | Does anyone have a fix for the crappy VNC over 11.04? | 23:04 |
| bibleboy | will ubuntu run on 512 mb | 23:04 |
| consolecowboy | i'll rephrase: i need a command tool that will let me select or highlight the word a cursor is currently on, to be further processed with xsel and other tools | 23:04 |
| aeon-ltd | bibleboy: but you will need some internet source for the iso ofcourse | 23:04 |
| bibleboy | wait what do you mean smae directory | 23:04 |
| Aginor | RavenHursT: you can, and the last one is always the target | 23:04 |
| aeon-ltd | bibleboy: 512 is fine, though personally i'd use lubuntu, xubuntu or start from server for reducing all unneccessary 'weight' | 23:04 |
| Stereocaulon | !requirements | bibleboy | 23:04 |

| aeon-ltd | bibleboy: in the same folder as the wubi installer | 23:05 |
| Pici | gridbag: Run alacarte, that is the menu editor application name. | 23:05 |
| Aginor | RavenHursT: the ?? in .??* are important, without them you'll end up having .. in the list of files to copy, and things will go poorly | 23:05 |

| Glycan | Hello | 23:16 |
| Tomas | hello | 23:16 |
| Geoffrey2 | is Gnome 3 even an option in Natty, or does that need to be installed manually from source? | 23:16 |
| BlaDe^ | Tomas just use Ubuntu Classic | 23:16 |
| histo | Tomas: if you don't likie unity you can run classic mode rather than switching back to 10.10 | 23:16 |
| BlaDe^ | Geoffrey2 it has to be done manually | 23:16 |
| consolecowboy | xsinick: if the application is in the menu, you can right click and 'add this launcher to desktop' | 23:17 |
| Glycan | I'm trying to make an liveCD, but the save to thing doesn't work to the cd I put in. | 23:17 |

| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, unounted => umounted | 23:19 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon so what's the next step? | 23:19 |
| Glycan | I can't find the cd to burn to. | 23:19 |
| Glycan | U doesn't see it. | 23:19 |
| uwex | anyone knows some good organizer/planer? not devolution | 23:19 |
| RavenHursT | ok.. I remember doing this somehow.. but I have a script that has a `mysql -u someuser -e 'execute this'; in it.. but I can't remember how to set up someuser to be allowed to run mysql commands w/o a password... had something to do w/ adding "NOPASSWORD' to some conf file or something.. Anyone know what I'm talking about? | 23:19 |
| bibleboy | Can I install Ubuntu from the Wubi on my Ubuntu installation cd without using internet. | 23:19 |
| Geoffrey2 | I'm going to spend a little more time playing with the current setup, but Natty feels like Ive gone to a completely new operating system | 23:19 |
| bibleboy | i know doent it feel like that. I want gnome back instead of unity. | 23:20 |
| histo | bibleboy: select classic from the session drop down on the login screen and you will have gnome back | 23:21 |

| kaie | I really can't believe that. netbook with 10.10. it worked fine for a long time. yesterday it went to sleep. I woke it up, it came up, then it crashed. after reboot, I find that then contents of two partitions are totally corrupted. fsck.ext4 even says there is no ext4 filesystem on them | 23:22 |
| skybound | consolecowboy: i see; didn't know snippits, that actually worked? i don't know about any such program, sorry | 23:22 |

| consolecowboy | skybound: yeah, i found snippits in lifehacker, became one of my favourite apps, very simple, a little buggy, no longer developed, ruby. but couldn't install because i can't seem to upgrade rubygems. i could try harder to do this, but i figured i might try to write my own version | 23:25 |
| bibleboy | youll lose everything though | 23:25 |
| Geoffrey2 | I run dmesg | more, and all I get is screen after screen of error messages | 23:25 |

| KM0201 | bibleboy: why not just properly partition your drive, and install it from a cd? | 23:30 |
| bibleboy | i dont want to lose windows | 23:30 |
| Lachezar | Hello people... I am having problems with Unity: I get many visual deffects, including stripes, white zones, etc. | 23:30 |
| KM0201 | bibleboy: you won't lose windows if you pay attention.. | 23:30 |
| Lachezar | My video: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650 | 23:30 |
| Stereocaulon | What has taken the place of /var/log/messages in Natty? I'm trying to monitor hardware changes, like the insertion of an USB stick. | 23:30 |
| KM0201 | bibleboy: honestly, in my experience, you run a bigger risk of something happening to windows with Wubi,l than a "normal" dual boot system | 23:31 |
| bibleboy | I want to do wubi so i can get rid of it easy | 23:31 |
| raichlea | hi all, I installed samba on natty and it wants 'the administrative password'.. it doesn't like mine and I don't know the root one. What can I do? | 23:31 |
| KM0201 | bibleboy: just don't say i didn't warn you.. removing wubi is often problematic.. been there.. wn't do it again, its much easier to remove a "normal" ubuntu install. | 23:31 |
| bibleboy | ive used wubi before so i want to use it again | 23:31 |
| KM0201 | bibleboy: wel, good luck. | 23:31 |
| bibleboy | ive done it before no problem | 23:32 |
| KM0201 | bibleboy: and i've done it multiple times, w/ several problems.. so.. i guess we just have different experiences | 23:32 |
| bibleboy | I use an uninstaller program to uninstall | 23:32 |
| skybound | consolecowboy: yes, sounds like a neat idea (reminds me of the plan9 editor/wm?); if the last-typed-word was already in the xclipboard it would be easy, getting it there seems to be the trick; you might want to try some xlib-programming related chan? | 23:32 |
| bibleboy | what windows did you use | 23:32 |
| bibleboy | well i had one problem | 23:33 |
| bibleboy | i didnt have enough space on my HD | 23:33 |
| bibleboy | but that was it | 23:33 |
| consolecowboy | skybound: right, thanks, i'll see what i can find | 23:33 |
| bibleboy | nothing other | 23:33 |
| bibleboy | so i guess ill just try | 23:33 |

| BlaDe^ | ill reboot and test | 23:35 |
| BlaDe^ | all I want to do is move a file from one laptop to another | 23:35 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, don't please test the following first... | 23:35 |
| BlaDe^ | it's gonna take 6 hours via wifi | 23:36 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon it's already rebooting | 23:36 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, Yes, that would be silly indeed. | 23:36 |

| belak | Is there a way to remove memtest and the recovery kernel from the boot menu? | 23:37 |
| coz_ | belak, memtes can be "not shown" from sudo gedit /etc/default/grub | 23:39 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, I'm trying to compare the behaviour of a USB pen drive/ card reader to your WD Passport drive, to see what step is missing (shown in the syslog) There must be something different there, so that we can concentrate on the process that does not follow through. | 23:39 |
| bastidrazor | coz_: gksudo :) | 23:39 |
| coz_ | belak, if you open that file... near the middle of the list,, you will see several lines starting with "#Uncomment". | 23:40 |
| belak | Ah, ok | 23:40 |
| belak | Thanks! | 23:40 |
| coz_ | belak, read them carefully to see what options you have by Uncommenting any of the lines | 23:40 |
| beanstalk | How do I remove or unhold "held packages?" It's preventing me from upgrading | 23:40 |
| bastidrazor | !pin | beanstalk | 23:40 |
| ubottu | beanstalk: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 23:40 |
| bastidrazor | beanstalk: this tells how to unpin them, too | 23:40 |
| beanstalk | bastidrazor: thanks, I'll take a look | 23:40 |
| belak | I see disable_recovery bit I don't see anything for memtest | 23:41 |
| beanstalk | bastidrazor: except it doesn't say how to find out which packages are being held. do you know how to do that? | 23:42 |
| coz_ | belak, mm I thought there was one for that,, well.. probably the best thing to do is go to the #grub channel as well | 23:42 |
| coz_ | belak, between the two channels ,, someone should have a good solution with grub2... i am not an expert with it yet | 23:43 |
| belak | Ok, thanks | 23:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | belak, in /etc/grub.d "sudo chmod -x 20_memtest86+" | 23:44 |
| belak | Ah, I just set 20_memtest -x | 23:44 |
| coz_ | belak, there is a little utility name "grub-customizer" I have NOT tested it at all will try now | 23:44 |
| belak | ZykoticK9: nice timing. :P | 23:44 |
| beanstalk | How do I find out which packages on my system are being held? | 23:44 |
| coz_ | belak, just in case you want to test it as well http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/43471/how-to-configure-the-linux-grub2-boot-menu-the-easy-way/ | 23:45 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, in your /var/log/syslog, the attachment of your drive should show up right after you connect it. You can follow the running additons to syslog with tail -f /var/log/syslog | 23:45 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, please excuse my spelling. It's all over the place: additons => additions. | 23:46 |
| bastidrazor | beanstalk: what makes you think packages are being held back? pinning is a manual step, it isn't something that automatically happens. | 23:46 |
| beanstalk | bastidrazor: I can't upgrade my system and a message pops up saying that an error is being caused likely by held packages | 23:47 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, I will be hitting the hay in about a quarter of an hour, so there is a high probability that someone else has to pick up where I left you. | 23:47 |
| beanstalk | I found a forum post saying that if I remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, but I don't know if that'll be bad for my system; how can I tell if the package is being used? | 23:47 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon no problem hold on while I go through that | 23:47 |
| belak | There's an abi change with nouveau... and there's a different package that I think needs to be installed? | 23:48 |
| gedO | Hi guys. I have one little problem. I'm unable to install gnome tweak tool | 23:48 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon usbcore says it registered new interface driver ums-cypress | 23:48 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon it says eery few seconds: | 23:49 |
| BlaDe^ | reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 | 23:49 |
| BlaDe^ | said that 4 times | 23:49 |
| BlaDe^ | then, scsi 6:0:0:0 Device offlined - not ready after error recovery | 23:49 |

| Topy44 | hi, how can i turn off flow control for a serial port for wine? the software i am using in wine doesnt have settings for it | 23:50 |
| Baram | I just updated (10.04 64bit) after being gone for a while (175 updates) and I know a new version of both firefox and chrome were in there, now I cannot type Korean in either (but can in all other programs) | 23:50 |
| Osmodivs | Hello. Ok, so I sudo chmod in a /usr/share/amsn folder so I could drag and drop some files to /amsn/skins folder, but nowm the /usr/share/amsn folder does not have a lock icon, but inside that folder, ALL of the files have a lock icon. Is there a way to undu this? | 23:50 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon did you see that, above all the spam? | 23:50 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, That reset is not good. | 23:50 |
| BlaDe^ | any ideas what would cause it ? | 23:50 |
| Osmodivs | I sudo chmod 7777 | 23:51 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, my first suggestion would still be lack of power, even though Windows will be able to use it just fine. | 23:51 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon this is a different HDD now | 23:51 |
| BlaDe^ | has its own power supply -- it's a caddy. just foudn it | 23:51 |
| BlaDe^ | the last one is probably lack of juice as you said | 23:51 |
| BlaDe^ | was a passport drive so entirely usb powered | 23:52 |
| gedO | Hi. I have problem installing gnome tweak tool | 23:52 |
| gedO | How I could fix this? | 23:52 |
| kevin_ | Osmodivs, you need to use a -R to recurse subdirectories if you want everything under /amsn to take on the new properties | 23:52 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, so this output is registered with another drive ?! | 23:52 |
| BigMig | I just updated to Natty Narwal yest from the last version using the updater and i all i see is flashing icons and cannot do anything? | 23:53 |
| BigMig | can i fix somehow | 23:53 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon yeah | 23:53 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon the first one was a 250GB passport drive, nice and portable, wasn't detected AT ALL so likely power issue | 23:53 |
| BlaDe^ | second one is a SATA caddy with its own power supply, is picked up displays in lsusb and gives those errors above.. Doesn't mount. | 23:54 |
| multipass_ | How do i install a .bin file? I have adobe reader file for linux which is .bin | 23:54 |
| Osmodivs | kevin_, Like: sudo chmod 7777 -D /usr/share/amsn | 23:54 |
| OerHeks | gedO, gnome tweak tool for gnome 3 ? >> https://live.gnome.org/GnomeTweakTool | 23:54 |
| BlaDe^ | multipass_ ubuntu has a pdf reader already | 23:54 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, so that external drive, having lots of power, still won't connect? OK, prepare for a simpleton question. Ready?...Did you use the same *cable* when connecting your HDD under Windows as under Natty? | 23:54 |
| multipass_ | BlaDe^, yeah.. wish i could use it, but the work i do needs these special comment things etc | 23:55 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon heheh yeah, I only have one usb cable :) | 23:55 |
| sparrW | can't be the only one who's asked... How do I get a taskbar back in 11.04? | 23:55 |
| bastidrazor | bean_: type apt-cache policy ...the last line will say Pinned packages:: and thus list them | 23:55 |
| Kyle__ | multipass_: are you talking about a bin and cue file? | 23:56 |
| Stereocaulon | multipass_, a .bin file can be executed if you give it executable rights. Before that I would *highly* recommend that you run it through file to see if it is indeed a Linux ELF binary or similar. | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U | multipass_: Do *not* try to install Adobe reader that way. | 23:57 |
| multipass_ | the file is "AdbeRdr9.4.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin" | 23:57 |
| multipass_ | ah ok, :b | 23:57 |
| BigMig | I updated Ubuntu using the updater from the last verision to Natty Narwal and after update all I see is flashing icons and cant do anything. I'd perfer not to have to downlaod the lice cd and reinstall that way, can anybody point me in the right direction | 23:57 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, is your mouse a plain vanilla mouse, or is it a gaming mouse which lots of thingamabobs? | 23:57 |
| Kyle__ | multipass_: 1, you can install adobe reader through apt-get, and maybe even the software center | 23:57 |
| Jordan_U | multipass_: Open Ubuntu Software Center and search for Adobe Reader. | 23:58 |
| multipass_ | yeah you are right, thanks... idk why i didnt try that first | 23:58 |
| Kyle__ | multipass_: 2, the only reason to use adobe-reader is if you need to fill out PDF forms. | 23:58 |
| multipass_ | Kyle__, i had trouble selecting and copying text with the default app | 23:58 |
| multipass_ | is that possible? | 23:58 |
| Angelic | I can't connect to wireless for some reason -- however it shows the wireless networks but the wireless networks that I want to connect to are grayed. | 23:58 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon mouse isn't plugged in | 23:58 |
| BlaDe^ | only used it to test the port | 23:58 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, You see...I'm clutching at straws here O_o | 23:59 |
| soreau | Guys my natty wont load ubuntu classic session. It worked the first time, but since I switched to 'ubuntu' and back to 'classic ubuntu', now all sessions load unity regardless. How can I fix it? | 23:59 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon no problem. It's getting late now, I'll copy it via wifi overnight.. 6 hours.. lol | 23:59 |
| Kyle__ | multipass_: I don't know, that's not something I've had to do much. You can try using pdf2text or pdftotext (both should be avialable) to get text out. | 23:59 |
| BlaDe^ | Stereocaulon thanks a lot for your help! Appreciate it | 23:59 |
| silvertip257 | Hello, I'm attempting to PXE boot live CDs for Ubuntu-based distros. I have PXE (DHCP+TFTP) and NFS working. Problem arises as NetworkManager changes the interface and disconnects the NFS share (client). I have not yet been able to get a Fedora live CD to boot as well. | 23:59 |
