[00:00] cache_surplus: I've created the dir /mnt/host_fs [00:00] k [00:00] FHtrain, so ? how did it go? [00:00] RavenHursT: are you doing a headless type solution? multiple users to log into it over the network? or what.. [00:00] can the natty launcher be made to stay out permanently? [00:00] how can i 'sort' a text file alphabetically? first letter of each line. [00:01] 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] 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] UserX7: command "sort" [00:01] ymasory: you mean just default gnome ? yes.. should be a factoid, in between [00:01] search UserX7, [00:01] bear_ sorry i meant i had already updated and restarted when this problem showed up [00:01] UserX7: sort textfile > sortedfile [00:01] cache_surplus: headless? I have no idea what that means.. lol [00:01] DasEi: i mean in unity [00:01] UserX7: or open in vim and type :sort [00:01] 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] bear_, i just did fresh install === siraf is now known as foenix [00:01] RavenHursT: with out a monitor, and accessable across the net, its an industry standard term ;) [00:02] ymasory: you just want gnome, but no unity , or do I get you wrong ? [00:02] vanguard: and in emacs? :-) [00:02] UserX7: no clue [00:02] UserX7: but there has to be something [00:02] just keep an eye out to see if there aere other ppl with the same problem [00:02] 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.. [00:03] sort won't overwrite the contents of a file? e.g. sort foo.txt > foo.txt [00:03] FHtrain, so ? how did it go? [00:03] 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] 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 [00:04] 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] FHtrain, of what os? [00:04] 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] 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] Blackcamaro8: dependening on needed services, just log out desktop or even use another runlevel [00:04] bear_ 11.04 [00:05] 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] ymasory: ic, I'm not fit in unity, sry, can't help there [00:05] DasEi: What do you mean? [00:05] oh, thats a really buggy system , but your wanting to do so then go for it [00:06] Blackcamaro8: you can stop the desktop, if you just need a commandline, saving ressources [00:06] 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] !runlevel [00:06] 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] Blackcamaro8: ah okay, I think there should be some options for booting but I don't know exactly [00:06] whats you specs? [00:06] cache_surplus: sudo mount -t vboxsf DEVICE MOUNT_POINT [00:06] 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. [00:07] DasEi: The Runlevel thing, no the command-line thing. [00:07] Blackcamaro8: might be some friggle then, as many services, like networking, depend on other ones [00:07] not* [00:07] 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] lol [00:07] RavenHursT: thats not my syntax, thats the default explanation lol [00:08] Blackcamaro8: you can go to init 1, for instance, and start network manually there [00:08] cache_surplus: yeah... I know.. mine is sudo mount -t vboxfs shared_device /mnt/host_fs [00:08] were the devs trying to be funny when they released ubuntu 11.04? [00:08] Blackcamaro8: (logs you out !) sudo init 1 , there choose netroot [00:08] cause Natty is merely a bad joke [00:09] Arphetic: Starting to think that myself.. [00:09] !ot | Arphetic [00:09] Arphetic: #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! [00:09] Did they break OpenGL, on purpose? [00:09] Did they break the tray on purpose? [00:10] Arphetic: do you have a support question? this channel is not for rants, no matter how disappointed you may be, sorry [00:10] Arphetic: /j #ubuntu-devel and ask there :p [00:10] My question is, will OpenGL and the tray ever work again? [00:10] cause my programms are disappearing this way [00:10] well, i can't get 11.04 to work on my computer at all, even in vbox [00:10] lucky you [00:11] 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] 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] Arphetic: on my gnome it's working great, but you can still choose any surface you like... [00:11] 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] its not like gnome fixes the problem [00:11] genewitch, whats your hardware? [00:11] join #django [00:11] ls [00:12] bear_: quadcore athlon II 4 gigs of ram 1TB partition for ubuntu [00:12] gmone fixes what? [00:12] I tried installing gnome3, created an ever bigger mess , took me 3 days to fix it [00:12] cache_surplus: alright.. I'll take a look.. thnx [00:12] np [00:13] OO) wow ! genewitch , [00:13] hello [00:13] bear_: yeah the installer and liveusb work but it won't install, and the new GUI doesn't work in vbox [00:13] Hello [00:13] rather, it installs, but goes straight to busybox ash prompt [00:14] zakwilson: you can whitelist the tray icons [00:14] I installed XP and now when I upfate grub it does not find it. Any ideas? [00:14] my 11.04 doesn't detect when my wi-fi adapter is switched on, could you help to solve this issue? [00:14] zakwilsion: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-re-enable-notification-area.html [00:14] *update [00:14] 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] any html to pdf command line tools? [00:14] RavenHursT: also, here is the manual, good reading :) http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads#manual [00:14] ParkerR: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"? [00:14] jenkinSear and Axlin: thanks for the info. I won't go on a long off-topic rant here, but I dislike that decision. [00:15] Jordan_U, I'll check [00:15] fission6: found this: http://www.tufat.com/script19.htm [00:15] zakwilson: yeah, i *despise* it myself [00:15] ParkerR: try sudo os-prober [00:15] i install something and now in desktop i have croos and i havent close and minimalize button in window [00:15] parker@parker-G60VX:~$ sudo os-prober [00:15] [sudo] password for parker: [00:15] /dev/sda1:Windows Recovery Environment (loader):Windows:chain [00:15] /dev/sda2:Windows 7 (loader):Windows1:chain [00:15] parker@parker-G60VX:~$ [00:15] ParkerR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:15] Sorry [00:15] RavenHursT: opps. http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.6/UserManual.pdf [00:15] genewitch, did you update grub? [00:15] thnx cache_surplus [00:15] Ah, Jordan_U, haven't seen [00:16] Thanks axisys [00:16] do anybody help e? [00:16] Axlin, * [00:16] yes? [00:16] Here's the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/602538/ [00:16] 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] czesiu, yes? [00:17] Axlin: I'm not using Unity [00:17] np RavenHursT [00:17] anyone can help with wi-fi troublesoot?! [00:17] hello, how to pass grub in text mode ? i'm have "out of range" in screen [00:17] i can help ppl , if they need IT ....... [00:17] And I tried adding a custom entry with Grub customizer but it doesn't show there either [00:18] Technically it is burg if it makes a difference [00:18] bear_ i just installed 11.04 on my vaio [00:18] My touchpad on my thiknpad stops working [00:18] I can try burg-manager. I just find buc a little iffy [00:18] termitor: edit /etc/default/grub as root, then sudo update-grub, can use a lower resolution and maybe no splash [00:18] Hi, can somebody tell me if there is a way to boot up ubuntu so that it does not try to generating the locales? [00:19] and ubuntu doesn't detect whether my the wi-fi adapter is on or off, it shows permanently off [00:19] Making the change in jenkinSear's link and restarting both notification-area and skype did not result in the icon showing up. [00:19] 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] icostisanu, whats your specs? [00:19] i3/4gb ram/500hdd [00:19] if this is what you mean [00:19] DasEi, system don't boot, i have no cd or other tools for use live cd [00:19] 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] Jordan_U, It works just fine. Neither grub nor burg see XP though [00:20] and what? [00:20] it failed Axlin [00:20] I like the look [00:20] ParkerR: Standard GRUB2 allows theming, though admitedly does not support all of the theming options of BURG. [00:20] DasEi, just the shortcut for text mode in grub , give me help i'm need [00:20] Jordan_U, Mind if I PM? [00:20] !pm | ParkerR [00:20] ParkerR: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [00:20] Ok [00:20] termitor: can you boot safemode ? [00:21] icostisanu, whats your hardware ? [00:21] termitor: press left shift when grub starts to lood, try recoverymode, usually second entry [00:21] ParkerR: I'd prefer to stay in-channel. [00:21] load* [00:21] ParkerR: Since os-prober is finding Windows, GRUB2 should have no problem adding an entry for it. [00:22] bear_ you mean wi-fi hardware only? [00:22] bear_: update grub? isn't the installer supposed to update if i am connected to the internet? [00:22] DasEi, hum , no boot , screen "out of range" , [00:22] bear_: Atheros AR9285 [00:22] does unity use compiz? [00:22] Jordan_U, Before I abandon burg I'm going to try burg-manager [00:23] Just a sec [00:23] Arphetic: Yes. [00:23] 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] DasEi, dont have :c [00:23] It has its own plugin for Compiz, which lets you do some minor adjustments in ccsm. [00:23] does ubuntu stop with KDE as well? [00:23] (For Unity 3D, at least.) [00:24] hello [00:24] termitor: which OS are you currently talking from ? ssh on the broken one installed ? [00:24] 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] Got my video chipsets on this one (top item): http://paste.ubuntu.com/602541/ [00:24] DasEi, other pc , no cd reader on [00:25] apt.ubuntu.com links such as this one: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/brukkon give my a "You dont seem to be running Ubuntu" error. I am using Chrome, anyone have any ideas? [00:25] termitor: which OS are you currently talking from ? ssh on the broken one installed ? please answer to questions :) [00:25] genewitch, yes last i checked, ( a year ago) [00:25] 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) [00:26] Strav: what exactly is your problem? [00:26] why did natty remove ubuntu tweak , and install crap i didnt want :/ [00:26] icostisanu, it standard to just give that info , [00:27] Arphetic, ubuntu-tweak, the 3rd party tool? [00:27] 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] for like a week now. [00:27] KNUBBIG: as I just wrote: I cannot write on the partition from the client side unless I use sudo. [00:27] yes [00:27] Arphetic, its 3rd party, was never a part of ubuntu [00:27] Strav: sorry didn't spot that [00:27] i know [00:27] thats why i wonder why they would remove it [00:28] KNUBBIG: it's on the second part of my msg, just above your first reply) [00:28] PROBLEM on 11.04 / ubuntu don't recognize when my wi-fi adapter is ON. I have Vaio Y series [00:28] Tweak has its own PPA, doesn't it? [00:28] Arphetic, you need to clarify, what you are saying does not make sense [00:28] any ideas? [00:28] Arphetic: Ubuntu will not stop using GNOME, (and GNOME shell will be available in 11.11), nor will Kubuntu stop using KDE. === hycarus is now known as Hycarus [00:28] Jordan_U, in 11.10 as well [00:28] hello i am installing mrtg and i have it problem Use of uninitialized value $first in hash element at /usr/bin/indexmaker line 353 [00:29] why did natty remove ubuntu tweak , and install crap i didnt want :/ (banshee and some other programms) [00:29] 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] never mind, its a bug apparently... [00:29] what is not understandable about this>? [00:29] i had tweak installed [00:29] i upgrade [00:29] tweak gone [00:29] Arphetic: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

This "connection" has been doing 100-300Kbps about 5-10 min at a time several times throughout the day, and I have no clue how to track down the culprit :/ [00:29] !

[00:30] Arphetic, then its not part of Ubuntu, has never been. [00:30] DasEi, make install liveusb on sd card, but no sure it working [00:31] and it didnt tell me when i upgraded? [00:31] KNUBBIG: I must use sudo for any write operation (I'm testing with touch ./tests, and for this, I need sudo) [00:31] Arphetic: That happens with things installed from outside the repositories. [00:31] Microsoft Ubuntu 11.04 [00:31] hi [00:31] hi all [00:31] Has everyone upgraded? How is the new OS? [00:31] 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] Auriga: Depends on who you ask. :P [00:31] like running ubuntu 1 [00:31] KNUBBIG: I expect it has something to do with my fstab entry, but I can't see what's wrong with it. [00:31] 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] kowen, That sounds like you don't like it... [00:32] termitor: usb will rather work, no way to boot without monitor and ssh in ? fresh install ? use another monitor ? [00:32] Auriga: Oh, I love Unity, actually. :) [00:32] hello i am installing mrtg and i have it problem Use of uninitialized value $first in hash element at /usr/bin/indexmaker line 353 [00:32] So far, Natty has been nice to me. [00:32] Arphetic, this is not the complaints channel. if you have a legitimate support issue please ask [00:32] kowen, Really...? Hmmm.... [00:32] A lot of people are extremely unhappy with it, though. [00:32] 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] kowen, I am correct in saying compiz isn't compatible right...? [00:32] It uses Compiz. [00:32] i didn't like unity, so gnome is my choice) [00:33] Then I misunderstood all I read then... [00:33] Unity has its own Compiz plugin, actually, so you can control some aspects of it from ccsm, which is nice. [00:33] AHhh okay. [00:33] Man when I'm that tired I tend to write total crap :) [00:33] (by means of grammar) [00:33] I didn't like Unity at first (actually, I wanted to curse at it), but gave it a chance for about a week. Now I think it's pretty awesome, considering how young it is. [00:33] i dont mind the change in looks, but seems to be messing with my gaming [00:34] kowen, I may go back to 10.04 still... I think I will wait to see the long term effects on the OS. [00:34] Probably not a bad idea. [00:34] <[V13]Axel> I have an odd question. Is there a way to hook onto an already-running program and view it's command-line output? [00:34] Then again I may switch distro's...

[00:43] Jordan_U, Thanks [00:44] see, asking my questions didnt help [00:44] My external hd that has Ubuntu on it boots but there is no GUI. I have an AMD Athlon x2 p340 processor and for graphics I have ATI mobility radeon HD 4250 [00:44] no it won't let me [00:45] ParkerR: You're welcome. [00:45] Will ubuntu 11.10 work again? [00:46] How can I make xubuntu use less CPU ?? [00:46] less of my CPU ** [00:46] can open office read and write ms exlce ? [00:46] Jasonn: disable compositing, if you have it on [00:46] xangua: How do I check if I have it on? [00:46] html_inprogress: yes, but better use the odf format ;) [00:47] html_inprogress: if the source file is in odf (as xlsx) then probably it can [00:47] Jasonn: aah... with you eyes [00:47] xangua: xD , what cmmand do I run, and what does the prog do? [00:47] Jasonn: haven't use xfce on a long time [00:47] test [00:48] how do I got the window menubar back.. it disappeared after enabling the rotate cube in compiz [00:48] html_inprogress, it almost always can, but I haven't thrown anything too complicated at it. [00:48] Can someone help me? I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 but when I start it up, it doesn't completely load and I can see various windows glitching (like the Update Manager). [00:48] axisys: Alt+F2, type "unity --replace" (no quotes). [00:49] i need it cross platfrom, linux to business ms [00:49] I have a sound problem. Sound does not work with any app, except for mplayer I discovered if I use -ao oss, it works [00:49] xangua: Composite is off atm, anything else I can disable? [00:49] html_inprogress: if you use odf on both side (libreoffice and ms office) then it should work [00:49] also, my old test of `cat /bin/ls > /dev/dsp` also produces noise [00:50] alsamixer also works, but again no alsa apps produce audio [00:50] html_inprogress: then it depends if you use macro's/vb [00:51] Hi there. Is there a way to ask irb not to print out the return value after each input? [00:51] how do i reset up the displau [00:51] hi, i was runnig ubuntu 10.10... it asked for update 11.04... it updated... now its running login screen... i can log in. its loading my desktop... desktop loading well.. i can see new ubuntu desktop... but its waiting... mouse is working... but i can not click any thing and i can not running any program... how can i fix it.... [00:51] the drivers are clearly working, so what's left to be broken with alsa? [00:51] after upgrading to 11.04 the display is all messed up [00:51] I just got back from going to town, and now my monitor is saying "No signal out in range" something like that... I can't see a thing, so I can't fix it via the gdm.. but I'm in the terminal now, is there anyway to fix this?! 11.04 [00:52] Kevin147: wiggle the cable? [00:52] quuxman: doesn't do crap, I tried [00:52] if I can see the terminal on the monitor, just not the login screen [00:52] Kevin: it means that the proposed res and or hz is bigger then what your monitor is capable of, did you upgrade? [00:52] theres something wrong there [00:52] Kevin147: oh, duh. Didn't think of that [00:53] hey folks [00:53] kowen: that did not help.. i am on ubuntu classic btw [00:53] Kevin147: play with /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [00:53] axisys: Ah... figured you were in Unity. [00:53] hey friends... any idea for my question? [00:54] Kevin: just rename you /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if the autodetect works, maybe your old drivers arent working [00:54] I've had Unity muck up my taskbar with Compiz changes. Did you try running "compiz --replace" instead? === matt_ is now known as Guest15785 [00:54] I'm trying to upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04, so I have to first upgrade to 10.10, but I get the error E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks. How should I fix this? [00:54] how is it possible that Alsa works with OSS emulation, but not by itself? [00:55] Hey anyone interested in getting boxee into the software center -> http://goo.gl/MhatJ [00:55] if I use dd and ff correctly, can I mirror my / to /dev/sdb1 and then install windows on /dev/sda1, edit grub, and then boot from either windows or ubuntu? I guess, I'm asking if "mirroring" the hard disk to another will make it bootable? Note the hard disks are different sizes. === Guest15785 is now known as LinuxHack3r [00:55] if I use dd and ff correctly, can I mirror my / to /dev/sdb1 and then install windows on /dev/sda1, edit grub, and then boot from either windows or ubuntu? I guess, I'm asking if "mirroring" the hard disk to another will make it bootable? Note the hard disks are different sizes. [00:55] my pc was runnig ubuntu 10.10... it asked for update 11.04... it updated... now its running login screen... i can log in. its loading my desktop... desktop loading well.. i can see new ubuntu desktop... but its waiting... mouse is working... but i can not click any thing and i can not running any program... how can i fix it.... [00:56] McQueen: I don't know, but you are truly a master of the ellipsis. [00:56] McQueen, if you pick ubuntu classic desktop at gdm login does that happen too? [00:56] What can I remove in xubuntu to make it use less CPU, more specifically, firefox uses a LOT, can I maybe unload some crap in there? === lance is now known as Guest91186 [00:57] sgaap, i am newbie... can you show me a way... [00:57] Jasonn try something like midori if you want minimal [00:57] Jasonn: you can use lubuntu instead [00:58] 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] 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] Jasonn, XFCE uses close to the same amount of resources as Gnome, lxde (what lubuntu uses) is lightweight in comparison [00:58] what size swap partition should I use on a 32 bit laptop with 2gb of physical ram? ubuntu 10.04... [00:58] 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) [00:59] LAcan: at least 2gb [00:59] sgaap, i am loging in well, its not problem... the problem is after login... its loading my desktop.. its showing my desktop... i can move my mouse... but i cant click anything... [00:59] Jasonn: if you have fans spinning you have overheating and load might not even be the primairy issue === eliezer is now known as clik [00:59] ZykoticK9: atm, I am not looking to install a whole new os on the system, plus I like the support Xubuntu gets, as opposed to lubuntu [00:59] zvacet, will more increase perofrmance or anything...? [00:59] what's with #ubuntu-unregged? was there a spambot attack? [00:59] LAcan: I'd recommend twice your physical memory, personally. [00:59] McQueen: the reason for testing with ubuntu classic is to see if it also happens then [01:00] so 4gb kowen ? [01:00] That's what I do. [01:00] kk [01:00] cached: not very recently. you might have been redirected there due to join throttling, though. [01:00] sgaap: Where can I begin to troubleshoot? I mean, i turn my comp off at night and everything, so I dont see what the problem could be [01:00] LAcan: for suspen and hibernation I think [01:00] LjL:but i haven't joined for over 4 hours [01:00] this is bs... ok, so I can go lower then what I had, but then it looks like crap, and says the same thing again... I'm on vnc atm [01:00] Does anyone know how to change the gdm in 11.04? [01:00] I want my normal screen ffs! [01:00] Jasonn, it might be something hogging cpu or gpu, it might be dust or bad airflow for example. [01:01] Jasonn, you could install lxde on Xubuntu and give it a try, you certainly don't need to reinstall an OS [01:01] ZykoticK9: Ill look into that, thanks :) [01:01] sgaap: There is definitely no dust or any physical problems, [01:01] 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] Jasonn: as somebody told you try midori instead of ff [01:01] kowen: got a list? [01:02] bUll37Pr00f: Unfortunately, no. I'm at work. :| [01:02] 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] But at least that's something to go off of? :P [01:02] sgaap: and what is a gpu? [01:03] kowen: I also have some controls to add. I figured out icons but I don't know that directory controls are in. [01:03] Graphics card [01:03] Jasonn: your videocard [01:03] how can i run nethack falconseye with out wine? [01:03] sgaap: Ok, and how would I see what is wrong with that? === lance_ is now known as Guest8723 === ubunub is now known as DaGeek247 [01:03] Jasonn, well, if its the one making the noise then its ovious it runs too hot [01:03] bU1137Pr00f: I'm not sure I know what you mean. In regards to GDM, or...? [01:04] Jasonn: and if its not then its something else [01:04] McQueen, do you need something? [01:04] Is there a general problem with Ubuntu 11.04 causing intermittent wireless? [01:04] is it ok to say the default firefox flash player is of relatively no use? [01:04] oneliner: Absolutely. :P [01:05] kowen: I downloaded log-in screens that I want to use. what program do I use to add them to gdm? [01:05] Jasonn, with lm-sensors you might be able to get temp readings if all your temp monitors are found [01:05] Is anyone else updating from 10.04 to 11.04? [01:05] yup [01:05] Rather, is there any way to disable third-party packages temporarily? [01:05] sgaap: Its really weird because I am sure there is nothing wrong with the airflow, in fact, my comp runs almost open, so it cant be that, but I have a dual core 2.8GhZ(per core) processor, 2.5GB ram [01:05] 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] Jasonn, just "sudo apt-get install lm-sensors" and run "sensors" in a terminal [01:05] kowen: Using 11.04 [01:06] lxde, what this? [01:06] beanstalk: ubuntu software center>edit>repositories [01:06] bU1137Pr00f: Let me look around for a second. [01:06] HELP: libreoffice impress slides blank when opened by MS powerpoint [01:06] zvacet: what do I select now? [01:06] html_inprogress: http://lxde.org/ [01:07] Using 11.04, but my internet speed through wireless is very slow. [01:07] note: also blank when opened by mac OSX [01:07] beanstalk: all thir party repos like medibuntu ppa etc [01:07] oneliner, what do you mean no use? what are you using it for? [01:07] Hi, why isnt this command eval right? /bin/sh -c watch 'cat /proc/meminfo | fgrep MemFree | sed s/[^0-9]//g >> 2.3.6.txt' [01:07] sgaap: The only one is a virtual device, and its at 60 C [01:07] zvacet: I don't have any of those [01:08] zvacet: it said that might be the problem for "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks" but I guess that's not it [01:08] Jasonn: then its probably not reconizing your hardware monitors [01:08] beanstalk: good,then you can start upgrade [01:08] anyone know why my monitor shuts off once grub loads the kernel on natty? I disabled the splash and vt.handoff and it still does it. [01:08] when rotating logs, what is the error.log.1 file? [01:08] Can somebody help me? [01:08] sgaap: How do I fix that? [01:08] zvacet: I get the same error :( [01:08] html_inprogress: nothing much, just stuff it was obviously not meant to do, like, surf the web, n stuff [01:08] Jasonn, do you have any other os, if so does it happen to run hot too? [01:08] it doesn't seem to be dhcping either [01:08] I understand the error.log.2.gz file [01:08] In Xchat I can't see the list of users. [01:08] sgaap: Nope, only xubuntu [01:08] beanstalk: is your maverick up-to-date [01:09] zvacet: yep [01:09] numbah1hax0r: view/userlist is it checked? [01:09] bU1137Pr00f: Try this. https://launchpad.net/gdm2setup [01:09] Jasonn, if you do top in a terminal is one of the loads above 1? [01:09] zvacet: actually, I'm on Lucid Lynx [01:09] 10.04 lts [01:09] KM0201, thanks for responding but I fixed it. :D [01:10] beanstalk: you can not skip versions [01:10] ok [01:10] sgaap: no, but one is 0.96 [01:10] zvacet: I'm trying to update to 10.10 so I can then update to 11.04 [01:10] beanstalk: do you have separate home [01:10] sgaap: Am now installing something, and one is at 1.07, the other at 1.05 and the other at 0.97 [01:10] zvacet: nope [01:11] beanstalk, by default LTSs will only upgrade to another LTS - sorry I don't know what you have to change to get non-LTS version. Good luck. [01:11] Jason, its rather high, or you system is very old [01:11] ZykoticK9: I've already changed the setting to let it go to 10.10 [01:11] (non-lts [01:11] ) [01:11] hi quick question - is it common practice to encrypt the home directory? it that what most users do? [01:11] anytime I switch to a tty (virtual terminal), not only does my X crash but my tty text asking for me to login is wavy/blurry. I'm using nvidia proprietary drivers. Could anyone assist me please? Thank you. [01:11] beanstalk: you can try upgrade with 10.10 alternate cd [01:11] sgaap: The system is not too old, its a thinkcenter from IBM, its like 4 yrs old === Timic_ is now known as Timic [01:11] tepster, ya and its a good idea [01:11] zvacet: I have a netbook, so I can't use a CD [01:11] command line, install medibuntu codec? how to? [01:12] beanstalk: but I don´t know why you are getting those errors [01:12] beanstalk: sudo update-manager -d tells ?

[01:12] oneliner, whats your os ? and might not have got every thing [01:12] DasEi: that's just the normal update manager [01:13] kowen: Thanks. Know do you know where I can put my controls so other users can have access to them through the appearance menu?

[01:13] Jasonn, for example, mine is taking around a few % cpu max, with spikes depending on activity [01:13] Jasonn: for xorg [01:14] Howdy, howdy. Anybody have any knowledge about the progress of multiarch? [01:14] FreeFreak: only if you wanna be laughed and pointed out... ;) [01:14] beanstalk: which version it suggests ? natty (11.04) or even further ? [01:14] 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] 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] wasabi, multiarch is a Debian thing isn't it? [01:14] what is the command for upgrading distro? is it sudo apt-get dist-updgrade? [01:14] And ubuntu, of course. [01:14] hey I was upgrading to 11.04 and..well there was a problem in the end of installation with nswrapperplugin so everything stopped before the cleaning etc etc...how can I resume? or what can I do to do it manually? === histo_ is now known as histo [01:14] !upgrade | zus [01:14] zus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [01:14] zus: sudo do-release-upgrade to go to a new version [01:14] it says 10.10 [01:15] Jasonn: then it might be your driver [01:15] zus: no [01:15] Nexxy, does your vcard support that resolution? [01:15] sgaap: How do I upgrade that? [01:15] Jasonn: whats your graphics card? [01:15] sgaap: xD how do I check that? [01:15] i need the cli syntax i think. [01:15] yes, it was displaying properly at one point, now it's not showing that resolution as an option anymore, and I'm not sure why it disappeared [01:15] Jasonn, "lspci | grep -i vga" [01:15] zus: sudo do-release-upgrade [01:15] Jasonn, what zykotick9 just said [01:16] thanks [01:16] ZykoticK9: sgaap Thanks :) [01:16] sgaap: ZykoticK9: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [01:16] !who | beanstalk [01:16] beanstalk: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[01:19] sgaap: Hm [01:19] DasEi, zvacet: I've already set it to do that. I pressed the button to upgrade to 10.10. That's what's giving me "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks." === chris_ is now known as Guest10002 [01:19] Jasonn: does the graphics card has a fan? its an integrated gpu so it might be fanless [01:20] How do I get back to an application, in unity, after I minimized it? It's not showing up in the alt-tab thing, or the panel. [01:20] sgaap: Fanless [01:20] Darxus: Sure you minimized it? [01:20] well, then it can hardly be the source of the noise, so it must be something else :s [01:20] hey I was upgrading to 11.04 and..well there was a problem in the end of installation with nswrapperplugin so everything stopped before the cleaning etc etc...how can I resume? or what can I do to do it manually? [01:20] bU1137Pr00f: Yup, I was testing my theory that a different app disappeared because I minimized it. [01:21] The app is azureus. [01:21] any ideas why alsa wouldn't work, but oss emulation does? [01:21] Jasonn: can you make up which fans make more noise, casefan, or cpu [01:21] I can still see it in ps. [01:21] WOOOO [01:21] WASSSUP CHANNNEEEELLL!! [01:21] Darxus: I have the same problem with Skype. Unity likes to do that. [01:21] sgaap: I can point to it, just dont know what its called.

I gave up on Unity. Switched it to the Ubuntu Classic profile.

In the latest version of Ubuntu, however, even if I install b43-fwcutter, my wireless does not work. The firmware is missing. This is strange because this exact same process worked in previous versions, but not the latest. [01:51] bazhang, from 10.10 to 11.04 [01:51] is there a program that can run gnome applets in a regular window?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [01:56] 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.

[01:59] Jordan_U: again, sure [01:59] ok in kde [02:00] 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] r00ter: Without more information we can't really be of much help. [02:00] yes, i know Jordan_U , tomorrow i will try all the options you cant tell me now hehe [02:01] 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] 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] 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] ubuntu failsafe uses composite? [02:01] 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 [02:02] forevertheuni, it doesnt no [02:02] yes I enabled them in kde [02:02] forevertheuni, so you get a black screen in the unity fallback mode?

[02:03] y in all ubuntu options in gdm [02:03] i will remember this Jordan_U thanks [02:03] r00ter: You're welcome. [02:03] 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.

[02:05] cache: i think those are the options from gdm, it seems all fail but kde [02:06] fail being a black screen [02:06] 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] no I'm saying none work gnome is screwed [02:06] Rehan: to be on the safe side, should do it from a live cd [02:06] only kde workds [02:06] failsafe?

I would very much suggest doing "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" [02:12] wana take a look thanks FrumiousTrue [02:12] Barridus: setup cron [02:12] !cron [02:12] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[02:13] m0ksha: No I have not I will do that now and report back [02:13] 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.

[02:15] 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] forevertheuni: focus on .gconf and .gconfd but back up first... k [02:15] ok I just mv .gconf to .gconfold ;) [02:15] forevertheuni: i also think there might be something wrong with your X server config say, /etc/X/xorg.conf [02:15] opps /X11 [02:16] like what?

[02:19] 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] to 11.04? [02:19] Barridus: ah, that's not the rss-reader, but microblogging, yes there is a tab under settings on how often to refresh [02:20] forevertheuni: here are some clues for .so issue [02:20] http://pastebin.com/W8esfpk5 [02:20] forevertheuni: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [02:20] google the searchs with those lines, that link will pop up [02:20] lol iconmefisto .it's broken believe me [02:21] lemme see if i can find that link... sb [02:21] forevertheuni: and make sure you have only one flash plugin installed [02:21] 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?

[02:22] iconmefisto, I have none installed [02:22] DasEi, yeah but it only goes down to 5, that's kind of an uneccesary limitation since the twitter API no longer gets crapped out if you do it too frequently. most modern twitter clients allow very fast auto refreshes [02:22] hi [02:22] Chuchulain: that's a very Irish name, welcome :) [02:22] dusf_: the default unity desktop forces compiz to be running as far as i know. what you may want to do is install the "unity-2d" package to get unity without compiz effects [02:22] forevertheuni: i think i had to download ver 9 adobe first, then ... um.. im trying to remember [02:22] forevertheuni: so what's broken?

[02:23] dusf_, scottish here, but always cottoned to the stories of the tain bo cuilgne and heroes of ulster... [02:23] when I try to install it says a weird msg like if it was installed [02:23] I'll force the install of a deb...usually it works [02:23] 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 or mkdir 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] 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] 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 [02:24] DasEi, i was talking gwibber [02:24] Axlin: well it's bugging out every boot so far, instantly, i haven't been able to interact with the GUI [02:24] i actually like how it works now, except that refresh limitation [02:24] dusf_, classic hero cycle ala j.campbell [02:24] ohhh i found it,, here it is.... forevertheuni http://thetechshop.org/showthread.php?168-Ubuntu-Installing-Flash-into-Firefox [02:25] Barridus: I know, but not where it's config is stored [02:25] dusf_: can you use the gnome desktop? from there you'll be able to install unity-2d [02:25] Axlin: won't --replace just reinstall the same problem? [02:25] yeah me neither DasEi [02:25] forevertheuni: read that carefully, and give it a try [02:25] 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] 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] tnx [02:26] it's really late can't think straight [02:26] Axlin: tried taking a screenshot etc, no response [02:26] how do i test if my intel driver is working properly [02:26] dusf_: yes, so can you log into the gnome desktop at least?

[02:29] dusf_: there's a little power icon in the top right. select it, and then log out [02:29] hola [02:29] Axlin: wait, i thought alt-f2 would bring up the fullscreen term [02:29] alt+f2 brings up the run dialog. did you mean ctrl-alt-f2? [02:29] Axlin: the way it's acting i do not suspect it to respond bring up things in gnome [02:29] if that's the case, ctrl-alt-f7 brings back the GUI [02:29] hey everyone! I have a microphone issue. [02:29] ok [02:30] 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] I have a doubt. I just want to know if this is real: http://ploum.net/post/102-official-ubuntu-id-cards-announced [02:31] is there a logitech mouse driver? i can't find a setting to control the mouse scroll wheel speed [02:31] JoseeAntonioR: no? [02:31] 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] clutter and unclutter are causing issues with mouse and FPS games, i'm killing 'unclutter' [02:31] iconmefisto Well, thanks.

I've been out [03:12] for like a week now. === fakewaffle_ is now known as fakewaffle === lance is now known as Guest82033 [03:13] KM0201: yeah, tbh I skipped google this time because I figured someone here could at least tell me how to do it in wine faster than i could find it on google. lol [03:13] tortoise: the chances of it working wine, are slim to be honest.. but if you insist, ask in #wine [03:14] #winehq [03:14] cheapie, i dont want to unistall tar, how to install it again? i will reboot and try apt-get first of any other package manager and see if i got the same issue, brb... [03:14] KM0201: okay, I will if nothing in this thread works [03:14] tortoise: sorry, #winehq [03:14] !wifi | jep [03:14] jep: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:14] OK, I guess I'll leave since I'm getting ignored... [03:14] Hey, i tried to install BURG and i think the installation broke somewhere. I only get "GRUB loading." and nothing else. [03:14] jep: I don't know the answer myself, but maybe that helps. [03:14] balr0g: You can try recovery mode from the grub menu too. [03:15] Omega: it's not wifi [03:15] cheapie, also will be looking at that.. brb... [03:15] AndrewR_SM: What's your problem? [03:15] AndrewR_SM, whats wrong? [03:15] Thanks for the response. " Request for help: I just upgraded to 11.04 on my Dell Inspiron 1720. It says it doesn't see any network devices.

[03:17] cheapie, to be honest i actually didnt look there :/ [03:17] i just dont know what the hell im doing [03:17] hakeon_: You may want to ask the OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice community about that. [03:17] i think it works [03:17] pie_: Yay! [03:17] because irc comes up automatically [03:17] why would the ethernet suddenly stop being detected? [03:17] im just totally disoriented [03:17] 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... [03:18] new gui, y u no come with tutorial? [03:18] 11.04 is buggy andrew [03:18] pie_: What's making you so "disoriented"? [03:18] thx cheapie - i've tried... sigh... it seems there isn't any fix... how can that be true? [03:18] i guess i have to reinstall the os? [03:18] Annoying that it was a recommending upgrade, then. Is there a way to safely go backwards? [03:18] jep try 10.10 [03:18] i am on 10.10 [03:18] cheapie, ive managed to figure out where the file and such menus are(theyre at the top where the ..."dtart menu" was) [03:19] jep: and your having problems? [03:19] but where did the bar with the "start menu" go and wheres the task bar [03:19] (pardon my windows terms i dont know what you call those) [03:19] yes [03:19] pie_: Yep. They can be hard to see. [03:19] i installed a pci-x ethernet card and 10.10 isn't detecting it [03:19] and how do i get the equivalent of such menu again [03:19] is unity a module of the linux kernel in 11.04 ? [03:19] but i'm using it on windows right now [03:19] alsa fixed it! thanks! [03:19] pie_: You're using unity, right? With that dock on the left? [03:20] I can sharing a folder on partion fat32 or NTFS. and show me that on new machine, but when I try to open a folder shared, get me error! [03:20] oh wow....how did i miss that?

[03:20] hi all, can i install the font Arial Narrow on ubuntu or is it just not going to happen? [03:21] to be honest i find windows/old ubuntu a lot mor intuitive but thanks ive got a launch point now [03:21] i'm getting 'artifacts' in my UI and yes I am on 'ubuntu classic(no effects)' [03:21] floodplain: sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer [03:21] pie_: It's easy to get the old look and behavior back. [03:22] i upgraded(fresh install) to 11.04 [03:22] taglass: cheers thanks, i thought i read that arial narrow wasn't included in that. [03:22] didn't have this problem with 10.10 [03:22] floodplain: or ttf-liberation which has an Arial lookalike [03:22] chaospsyche: ...like things getting "stuck" on the screen? [03:22] 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] cheapie: yes, why? you have same problem ? [03:22] pie_: From what I know, yes. [03:23] help i'm on ubuntu 11.04 and i cant get the seconds to show on the clock. i click on 'time & date settings' and nothing happens [03:23] chaospsyche: It's a known problem. Somebody on the forum had it. [03:23] cheapie: is there a solution ? [03:23] taglass: hmm, turns out i have both packages up to date [03:23] chaospsyche: Is Flash player up to date? That is what was causing the other guy's problem. [03:24] hello [03:24] taglass: do you know will a web page with arial narrow auto degrade to a similar font? [03:24] cheapie: let me try that [03:24] chaospsyche: OK. I can wait. [03:24] netbook, im glad i managed to solve yout troublers :) I have sound problems i never manage to toally beat it seems [03:24] KM0201: if you're interested, I just now found the sd slot on my computer. so no need for software (other than fspot). Thanks for the link! [03:24] I need help with ubuntu 11.04 please [03:24] Hello all [03:25] tortoise: well that solves the prob w/o the camera then.. great. [03:25] tbruff13: What's wrong? [03:25] How to I configure my application menu? [03:25] hiexpo: National Geographic natury stuff [03:25] Hi, could someone help me remove Avast antivirus? I installed it and I have no idea how to remove it! [03:25] I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit [03:25] cheapie, i cant figure out how to install compiz settings manager [03:25] cheapie, compiz-core: Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) but 1:4.5.2-8ubuntu4 is to be installed [03:25] Depends: libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0) but 2:1.0.7-1ubuntu1 is to be installed [03:25] Depends: libxdamage1 (>= 1:1.1) but 1:1.1.3-1ubuntu1 is to be installed [03:25] Depends: libxfixes3 (>= 1:4.0.1) but 1:4.0.5-1ubuntu1 is to be installed [03:26] why would the flash plugin cause this? doesnt make sense [03:26] vasudan: how did you install it? [03:26] Omega: I downloaded the .deb file from their website, and installed it. [03:26] tbruff13: Can you run sudo aptitude install compiz-core and see what that recommends to solve it? [03:26] 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] scan my new ubuntu 11.04, it has "1080/tcp open tcpwrapped", what's this for? how can i close it? [03:26] anyone ever set up fglrx/grub/kernel terminlas to the same resolution? is it possible/worth doing at 1080p [03:26] vasudan: synaptic ? [03:27] chaos: No, when I double clicked the .deb file, it installed through Ubuntu software center. [03:27] chaospsyche: I don't know why. It just does. [03:27] is there anyone around that can explain why ubuntu can get the broadcom b43 support consistent? [03:27] are drivers loaded into the kernel as modules? [03:27] chaospsyche: Most are, some aren't. [03:28] i'm thinking it has something to do with the kernel/module [03:28] 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] because this is a newer kernel version than 10.10 [03:28] the default kernel when you install 10.10 [03:28] 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] I understand thanks [03:28] cheapie, it says 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded [03:28] cheapie: should i reboot? no effect so far [03:28] vasudan: you have to use synaptic [03:29] or the terminal [03:29] tbruff13: Did it say anything else? [03:29] cheapie, no [03:29] But why does support come and go every time [03:29] chaospsyche: Well, you can try. [03:29] tbruff13: Did you run it in a regular terminal? [03:29] 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] it works in one release and doesn't two releases later then it works for two more and stops again [03:30] Thanks for your help guys btw, appreciate it :) [03:30] vasudan: do you know where the package is? [03:30] I know how to remove it, don't go! [03:30] cheapie, no the new buyou terminal what does that mean [03:30] Still here [03:30] vasudan: do you know where the deb is downloaded to? [03:30] The .deb package? It is in my downloads folder. If you're asking where it installed, I think it's under Home/.Avast === derp is now known as _ === _ is now known as Douche [03:31] cheapie, just ran in regular terminal same result [03:31] how can i register my icon for use with my application into the system? [03:31] anyone can help me about debconf error? [03:31] tbruff13: I don't know what's going on then. [03:31] vasudan: What's the file called? [03:31] hello guyss, cheapie are you there? what is happening to me? look this: http://pastebin.com/YMyCNLzt [03:32] hi all. I'm tryng to configure postfix + smtp auth using this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix#Authentication but I'm not sure if it works. [03:32] cheapie, how about i try to install compiz settings manager through synaptic [03:32] cheapie: It's avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386 [03:32] anyone having problem to control mouse after updating wine to version 1.3.19? [03:32] How do I get this issue higher on Ubuntu priority list? [03:32] cheapie, how do i switch unity buttons to the rights side like x [03:32] Anyone here familiar with skype on ubuntu 10.10? [03:32] balr0g: That doesn't look good. I'm not sure what happened. [03:32] Having a problem sharing my screen... [03:33] I see 250-starttls, but 250-auth on it's own line I don't. Rather I see 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN and 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN. Anyone experienced with postfix/smtp? [03:33] =( [03:33] vasudan: Try sudo apt-get remove avast4workstation [03:33] vasudan: in the terminal enter the following: sudo dpkg --purge [03:33] Okay, when I search in Synaptic, I only have one linux-image installed [03:33] vasudan: sudo dpkg --purge avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386 [03:33] tbruff13: The first question: well, you can try. The second question: I don't think that's possible yet. [03:33] That is 2.6.38, but grub is showing a bunch of 2.6.35-x kernels [03:34] tbruff13: gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close" [03:34] tbruff13: but maximized windows will still have them on the left [03:34] If I remove unity and reboot I won't be dropped to a command prompt will i? [03:34] a complete removal [03:34] nmap -A 127.0.0.1 get: 1080/tcp open tcpwrapped . ubuntu 11.04, anyone please tell me what's this daemon [03:34] omega & cheapie: Thanks guys, I typed sudo apt-get remove avast4workstation and it uninstalled! [03:35] You guys rock, thanks a bunch! :) [03:35] cheapie, is compiz possible because i am confused [03:35] what window manager would you guys suggest for someone who is looking to move away from traditional "Window style" as muh as possible? [03:35] chaospsyche: Select "Ubuntu Classic" when logging in and you should be fine. [03:35] tbruff13: What? [03:35] cheapie im using that [03:35] my debconf freeze after install package ubuntu restricted extras i kill it via sysmonitor then i must partially upgrade i cant use ubuntu software again? [03:35] hellobyebye: Xmonad [03:35] chaospsyche: You should be fine then. [03:35] im not fine [03:36] i've got gfx artifacts all over my UI [03:36] hellobyebye, gnome i like [03:36] chaospsyche: What kind of artifacts? [03:36] vasudan: try sudo apt-get purge avast4workstation [03:36] graphic artifacts [03:36] that removes all the configs it left behind too [03:36] blocks lines dots [03:36] hola [03:36] i've used gnome for a while and kind of want something different [03:36] im thinking of giving openbox a go [03:36] fui baneado de anonymous [03:36] openbox? [03:37] me dijeron quese estaban reagrupando aca [03:37] manden mp [03:37] yes [03:37] chaospsyche: Try Alt+F2, then type 'compiz --replace' As for openbox, it's a different window manager. [03:37] Omega: Thanks , it worked! Brilliant - thank you! I'm going to post on ubuntuforums now, on how to do this. [03:37] hellobyebye: openbox isn't a desktop environment, it's just a window manager [03:37] my debconf freeze after install package ubuntu restricted extras i kill it via sysmonitor then i must partially upgrade i cant use ubuntu software again? [03:37] vasudan: :) [03:37] vasudan: you used synaptic? [03:38] notice i said window manager not desktop environment [03:38] what is your point? [03:38] chaospsyche: no, removed it through the terminal :) [03:38] chaospsyche: I just wanted to let you know that Openbox works best with the Fluxbox desktop environment, at least for me. [03:38] vasudan: rm ? [03:38] cheapie, this is what i get The following NEW packages will be installed: [03:38] compizconfig-settings-manager{a} python-compizconfig{a} simple-ccsm [03:38] The following packages will be REMOVED: [03:38] geoclue{u} geoclue-ubuntu-geoip{u} indicator-datetime{u} libgeoclue0{u} [03:38] libglew1.5{u} libglewmx1.5{u} libglib2.0-bin{u} libnux-0.9-0{u} [03:38] tbruff13: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:39] in fact [03:39] it's worse now [03:39] hello [03:40] chaospsyche: Try 'metacity --replace' to turn off effects and see what happens.

[03:55] IdleOne: thanks [03:55] izinucs: there are plugins for skype in the repos but not skype itself [03:56] chaospsyche, dpkg -L | grep linux-image [03:56] izinucs: rather plugins for pidgin to work with skype... [03:56] hiexpo: dpkg -L | grep linux-image [03:57] oops [03:57] what do you need for a video card to run unity on ubuntu? [03:57] chaospsyche, yes [03:57] hiexpo: dpkg-query: error: --listfiles needs at least one package name argument [03:57] where to get audacious equalizer preset? [03:57] chaospsyche: dpkg -l 'linux-image*'; [03:57] 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] 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? [03:58] hey guys, i plugged in a controller, how do i configure it? [03:58] Ive got a : Nvidia geforce 9500, and it won't run unity.. what gives? [03:58] geforce 9500 gt [03:58] kjxl9: What kind of controller? [03:58] Karen_m: on the live cd? [03:58] hiexpo: http://pastie.org/1859049 <---output of command [03:58] a gaming controller [03:58] No, i installed it [03:58] izinucs: apt-cache search skype that will show you the packages I was talking about. [03:58] izinucs, upgrade from 10.10 [03:58] kjxl9: What kind of gaming controller? [03:59] Karen_m: have you don't all your upgrades yet? [03:59] Anyone know anything about the tuxdroid? [03:59] like the brand? [03:59] kjxl9: And model, if available. [03:59] hiexpo: do you know how to compile a kernel with an added functionality and install it? [03:59] izinucs, yes, nothing else is listing .. i checked [03:59] a usb recoil controller is all i know about it [03:59] What is Metacity? I received a popup error regarding it [03:59] gimme a minute and i can have details [03:59] killer_: Metacity is a window manager. [04:00] 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] 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? [04:01] ok its a GGE909 PC recoil pad [04:01] 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 [04:02] hiexpo: will my wireless usb adapter work in 10.04 ? [04:02] what is the diff between .04 and .10 ? [04:02] kjxl9: It appears that that device is not supported. [04:02] oh [04:02] poop [04:02] chaospsyche, what cardis it ? [04:02] izinucs, it seems they disabled my nvidia driver on the upgrade, i'm re-enabling and rebooting [04:03] kjxl9: You can try "sudo modprobe joydev" but that's unlikely to do anything. [04:03] hiexpo: it's a wireless usb adapter and its a 'belkin basic wireless usb adapter ' [04:04] hiexpo: it works on 11.04 but not 10.10. haven't tried 10.04 [04:04] yeah, nothing happened [04:04] but why would it work on 10.04 if it doesn't work on 10.10. isn't that an older version ? [04:04] chaospsyche, what model and chipset ? [04:04] hey can someone tell me how to change the color of the text in the unity top panel in 11.04 [04:04] 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? [04:05] how do i enable my wireless? [04:05] hiexpo: how do i find out? [04:05] kjxl9: Good. Now try "joy2key -dev /dev/input/js0" [04:05] How do I get APNG support? [04:05] @killer_: you need to install compizconfig-system-manager [04:05] there doesn't seem to be a libapng package. [04:06] umm i would have to install it first [04:06] what's the command to find out? [04:06] kjxl9: OK, yeah...try running "sudo apt-get install joy2key" first. [04:07] gimme a minute to copy this down [04:07] how do i find out what chipset is in my wireless usb adapter [04:08] twiggy: Ty. worked like a charm [04:08] has anyone here ran ubuntu desktop on a rack mount server? [04:08] how do i change the color of the text in the top bar of unity in 11.04? [04:08] it says "Error opening /dev/input/js0! are you sure you have joystick support in your kernal? [04:08] chaospsyche, lsusb [04:09] kjxl9: Yeah...I don't think it'll work. [04:09] ngc604: I haven't, but it should be the same as a regular desktop. [04:09] hiexpo: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 050d:945a Belkin Components [04:09] how do i enable my wireless network? [04:09] kjxl9: Have you tried the network manager yet? [04:09] nope [04:09] i should do that now [04:10] kjxl9: your wi-fi card probably isn't support [04:10] kjxl9: Good point... [04:10] *supported === antihc333 is now known as antihc3 [04:10] cheapie, would you think there would be any issues? i would assume it would be straight foward. just not sure [04:10] ya my laptop IS pretty dam old [04:10] hiexpo: will that work in 10.04 [04:10] chaospsyche, open google and type your computer name > model number and get it's info of what card it is [04:11] it's more likely to work the older it is versus if it was new [04:11] ngc604: I don't think there would be any issues. In fact, ZaReason sells that configuration. [04:11] hiexpo: i just bought this,my comp didn't have wi-fi out of the box [04:11] ZaReason is a person on here? [04:12] ngc604: It's a company. They sell computers with Ubuntu preinstalled. [04:12] chaospsyche, ok what model the wifi card and version in google and get chipset [04:12] hiexpo: ok one sec [04:13] 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 [04:14] It would be nice if the few companies that sold Ubuntu computers used AMD chips. [04:14] ngc604: Well, ZaReason happens to sell 3 GHz Intel Xeon servers with Ubuntu Desktop Edition preinstalled, so you should be fine with yours. [04:15] how do i install nvidia drivers for my system while using a live cd? [04:15] ludican: ZaReason (zareason.com) sells computers with AMD CPUs and Ubuntu. [04:15] cheapie, do you think a dual 3ghz xeon 4gb ram would be comparible to a core duo 2.5ghz 4gb ram? [04:15] smrz, you can't [04:16] ngc604: It depends on the usage. How do you want to use them? [04:16] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1KvxI_7-oA&feature=channel_video_title [04:16] hiexpo there's absolutely no way? i uninstalled the nvidia drivers from my system, and on reboot now the screen is all garbeled [04:16] basic everyday use. and music recording [04:16] please check that out [04:16] is it still possible to get a synaptic touchpad's SHMConfig accessible to apps? [04:16] music recording is done through a usb box not onboard sound [04:16] ngc604: You shouldn't be able to notice a difference at all then. [04:17] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1KvxI_7-oA&feature=channel_video_title [04:17] Well, I wanted a laptop [04:17] ludican: Well, you could buy one with Windows and then install Ubuntu on it. [04:18] need help compiling a kernel [04:18] http://pastebin.com/fWqNDXb0 [04:18] ludican: I have found the Compaq CQ61-411WM to work well with Ubuntu. [04:19] ludican, amazon had a lenovo 15.6 core duo 2.2ghz 4gb ram 250gb hdd for $300 recert. thats a pretty good deal imo [04:20] cheapie:take a look debconf freeze again after partial upgrade http://postimage.org/image/175z2g810/ [04:20] pacificgeek.com also has a 12.1 core duo 1.86ghz 512k ram 80gb hd off lease for $170. thought about getting that myself. [04:21] noobiest: I don't know what to tell you then. Can you try running it in a terminal and see what happens? [04:21] 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. === assassin is now known as assassino [04:22] Are we all subnormal or only the most of us? http://aurl.es/b1x === assassino is now known as tsubaki [04:23] weird [04:23] cheapie:what shall i run in terminal?or this bug bcoz i install ubuntu with ubiquity and gave me some error [04:23] Laggg: Have you tried --initrd or just initrd instead of -initrd? [04:23] noobiest: I'll go check. Please wait. [04:23] cheapie: that was the prob [04:23] fixed ;) thx! +rep === tsubaki is now known as tsupaki [04:24] noobiest: Try "sudo apt-get install pychess" (or just any other package that isn't installed) [04:25] I have an emacs question, and this is maybe not the right place for it, so let me know: when I try to start gnus with M-x gnus, emacs hangs with no error messages [04:25] Hello. I just upgraded to Natty, and I'm still having the sound issue with pulseaudio and sound from my Hauppauge WinTV PCI card. Where's the best place to ask for help with that? [04:25] parapara: I think the emacs community might be a better place to ask. [04:25] any chance ubuntu will ditch unity? === tsupaki is now known as alttair [04:26] jismlicious: What's the problem? [04:26] No sound when I'm watching tv [04:26] TrentonAdams: Low. Very low. [04:26] TrentonAdams: There's always a chance, but I wouldn't hold my breath [04:26] 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] Currently unity is working flawlessly for me, though it's definitely a bit of a change [04:27] jismlicious: Hmm... try running the app with padsp. [04:27] TrentonAdams: GnomeShell will be an option in 11.10 [04:27] How do i install the broandcom driver on ubuntu === alttair is now known as null0 [04:27] perlsyntax: What model card/chipset are you trying to install? [04:27] 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 [04:28] I actually really like unityu === null0 is now known as nullroot [04:28] parapara: Can you describe why? Kinda curious, I just couldn't see anything good in it. [04:28] i not sure i don't have linux install on it yet. [04:28] parapara: except the searching of course. [04:28] anyone else getting on natty install no panels? [04:28] perlsyntax: Try installing then, it might just work right away. [04:28] i'm just getting my desktop, nothing else, and i can't bring up the dash or anything [04:28] would ubuntu pick them up with hardware driver? [04:29] TrentonAdams: just because I was curious and have never seen it before [04:29] 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] ok i try that on tuesday. [04:29] smrz: Have you tried the Ubuntu Classic option? [04:29] cheapie: no, how do I do that? [04:29] perlsyntax: It should. No guarantees though. [04:29] TrentonAdams: CTRL-L [04:29] brondcom drivers on windows sucks [04:29] smrz: Select it in the drop-down box when logging in. [04:30] cheapie: trying it now [04:30] taglass: thanks, did that change? [04:31] TrentonAdams: No. Was the same in 10.10 [04:31] taglass: Also, is there a way of having it work by double clicking the location bar, like it used to work? [04:31] TrentonAdams: That I do not know. [04:32] How do you run a program from terminal without it being locked to that terminal [04:32] Wow. This is like regular tech support, but with me juggling 5 phones instead of one...It's fun though. [04:32] taglass: I think it was a habit that I developed, so I do think that used to be a feature, hmmm. [04:32] TheYellowGTO: I don't think that's possible. [04:32] taglass: thanks for the ctrl-l thing though. [04:33] TheYellowGTO: screen [04:33] how can I make my upstart script wait for my nfs volumes to get mounted? [04:33] Yes it is [04:33] I've done it but I forget [04:33] TheYellowGTO: run the program under gnu screen [04:34] slyrus: You can put in "sleep" followed by a number of seconds. [04:34] cheapie: hmm... sounds like a hack, but OK. [04:35] There is something with an & after it [04:35] Someone in here told me, but now i'm on mylaptop [04:35] And its at home in a text file [04:35] slyrus: Yeah, it's sort of like "Hey, this thing broke" "Well, why fix it when we can tape it back together?" [04:36] slyrus: Have you looked through http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ ? [04:36] yeah, that seems to be the only decent documentation on this thing I can find [04:36] Hello #ubuntu, wondering where a good place to go for support on the bundled remote desktop application in 10.10 [04:37] I had better leave now. I have a life too, you know... [04:37] I'm troubled that 1) my script is firing when I have a start on (filesystem and started avahi) line and 2) it doesn't respawn until the nfs mounts succeed [04:37] ok, thanks Cheapie [04:40] Hi [04:40] hi [04:40] Hi [04:40] so whats up [04:41] anyone using ubuntu one here? [04:41] jebus wept [04:41] Yes 11.4 [04:41] slyrus: or move the logic into a script which you run in the background started from /etc/rc.local. There's no guarantee that an nfs mount will work. What if the nfs server's down? [04:42] qwpoaslk [04:42] bah. what's teh command to return a terminal to a usable state when you screw up and cat a binary file? [04:42] canthus13: try 'reset' [04:42] Loshki: thanks. :) [04:43] hello [04:43] can someone assist me in running an exe gba emulator [04:44] yes? [04:44] I need help changing the resolution of my tty console. [04:45] Does anyone know how to change the resolution of the console to fit a 1920x1080 screen? [04:45] tty means what? conner, [04:46] teletypetypewriter [04:46] what is this an iq test [04:47] galacia, for running exe's on linux you'll need wine, and their support channel is #winehq [04:47] thank you [04:47] All i know is my console does not produce a desireable resolution and owuld like to fix it [04:48] Before nvidia drivers it would boot with nice crisp font and the tty's would be in the correct resolution [04:48] but after the nvidia drivers the tty consoles and boot is not in a proper resolution [04:48] dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [04:48] conner, have you tried xrandr to see if you can get what you want and then edit the file [04:48] all im asking is if anyone knows how to fix it as I have been around my ass a billion times googling it [04:49] conner, are you chaffed [04:49] after i run,its lokk like partial upgrade same thing diff way [04:49] ;) [04:49] Loshki: fair enough... but why use rc.local instead of upstart? [04:49] im going to give xrandr a try [04:49] hyperbole is endearing [04:50] Loshki: don't the same problems exist there? [04:50] my debconf still in trouble [04:50] 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 [04:51] conner_: xrandr won't help, this isn't X. [04:51] conner_: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [04:51] in any event, I think I've fixed that problem and am on to forked-daapd quitting for some other reason :( [04:51] 11.04 [04:51] conner_: Then that's probably the highest resolution possible for the ttys while using the proprietary drivers. [04:51] after installing new package i must run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' or partial upgrade awfull bcoz debconf freeze [04:52] how do we can install driver wireless [04:52] so it is unchangeable thats not right [04:52] Connor: I missed it, is the size of text too small, too big, too ..? [04:52] hello franklv [04:52] connner_, i was just checking to see if you meant something else,,,, [04:52] too big, as in the dpi is off. This would be because of resolution [04:53] hello Azelphur [04:53] 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] hello jordan_U [04:53] 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] your right im rockin the 795 vesa. thanks jordan_U I hate propriatary drivers.... [04:53] hi [04:53] ifqi: Hi. [04:53] 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 === __import__ is now known as __export__ [04:53] nice to know you [04:54] does anyone know how to configure vsync on the open source drivers [04:54] this the first time i joint this forum [04:55] 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] 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] wait for dr_willis [04:55] ? [04:55] 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] the usb3 port works, but 2 usb 2.0 on the other side doesn't anymore [04:56] 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] 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] c2tarun,,, on 11.04? [04:56] Toph: nope on 10.04 lucid [04:56] c2tarun,,, ok [04:57] conner_: OK. So to confirm, you are *not* passing any 'vga=' parameter to the kernel? [04:57] Toph: any solution? [04:57] c2tarun, that one again,huh... update, restart [04:57] 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] c2tarun: can you drop to terminal run startx [04:58] c2tarun,,, no,, i was having the same problem with 11.04, and still am, but I think it is Unity crashing [04:58] that should not use gdm [04:59] I just logged in :( but sometimes it never allows me to login. is there any permanent solution [04:59] sorry for posting again... anyone lost usb 2.0 on laptop after newest update? [04:59] 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] im gald i didnt upgade to a "unity[ed ] mess lol [05:00] unity is very good [05:00] i'm using ubuntu maverick [05:00] html_inprogress: definitely some growing pains [05:00] but this was a kernel update [05:00] 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. also the color of the text in the top bar will not change from black, how do i change it? [05:00] any idea/ [05:00] try logout/login [05:01] I've added my user to a group, but my shell doesn't know about it for some reason. is it possible to get a shell with the correct permissions without completely logging out of gnome first?

[05:08] yes, but not identification wireless [05:08] cheapie,,, i can't log into the desktop that includes Unity, but I can into the Classic and then load Unity from Compiz,, what gives? [05:08] 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? [05:09] ifqi: Try running "lspci | grep wireless" [05:09] Toph: What happens when you try to log into the Unity desktop? [05:09] 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] MK``: Same /home: yes. Same users list: I don't think so. [05:09] cheapie,,, the screen blacks out for 5 seconds and returns to the login screen [05:10] 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] 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] Bonkers: Click on the power icon at the top right. [05:10] Toph: check jockey and see if there are any drivers available. [05:10] 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] Bonkers: That hasn't changed recently. [05:10] !classic | Bonkers [05:10] 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. [05:11] cheapie,,, could you please explain what 'jockey' is [05:11] Toph: It's the "Additional Drivers" thing. [05:11] 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] >sudo jockey-gtk [05:12] Toph: as Souperman said, "sudo jockey-gtk" will launch it. [05:12] #winehq is no help [05:12] Bonkers: I'm pretty sure that logout hasn't been in the System menu since before Ubuntu 10.04. [05:12] glacia: What is your problem? [05:13] 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] trying to install and run a virtual gba emulator [05:13] glacia, there are vga emulators native [05:13] cheapie,,, ok,, i'm been there,, the video driver ischeok, let me try [05:13] glacia: Try this one: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Emulators/Visualboy-Advance-3469.shtml [05:13] souperman, where? [05:14] 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] Jordan_U / cheapie please check my line :) [05:14] Bonkers, ? ctrl+alt delete? [05:15] cheapie, i downloaded that im still learning on how to install stuff on ubuntu.... what do i do next [05:15] how can I use smb:// in dest. for rsync command ? [05:15] nabi mount it first [05:15] MK``: I don't know how encrypted home directories would work with such a setup. What is your end goal? [05:15] glacia, try gnuboy [05:15] Herbs: ok thanks :X [05:15] then it will be rsync -switches /mounted/dir/ [05:16] glacia: You should just be able to go into Synaptic and install visualboyadvance-gtk [05:16] that too [05:16] cheapie,,, it gives me..ATI/AMD propriator FGLRX video driver is already in use [05:16] glacia: Forget what you have downloaded, open Ubuntu Software Center, and search for "game boy" [05:17] Jordan_U: essentially if it is possible to share a user list [05:17] MK``: Sharing a user list is not an end goal :) [05:17] Toph: Good. However, you can try disabling that, rebooting, and trying again. [05:17] cheapie,,, ok [05:17] Herbs: how can I find device name of smb://.... ? === zenrox_ is now known as zenrox [05:18] Toph: You could also try "Unity 2D" and see if that works. [05:18] nabi it wont have a device name [05:18] Jordan_U: I know... just forget it :/ [05:18] Herbs: so, how can I mount it? [05:18] its iirc usually work with nfs not samba host:/share [05:18] mount /media/win/ smb://.... ? [05:19] mount smb://.... /media/win/ ? [05:19] nabi source always comers before mount point [05:20] 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. === MUILTFN is now known as MCUMH [05:20] nabi easiest way to mount samba shares is using autofs then you can mount them by cd to the dir [05:21] 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 [05:22] cporter not seeting a mount point maybe [05:22] setting* [05:22] wubi is all bad [05:23] it worke for my laptop but not my desktop [05:23] Cporter, try installing 10.10 and then upgrading from within the OS? [05:24] ok [05:24] Herbs: when I try mount .. get me, wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on sbm:....... [05:24] 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] any way to fix that? [05:24] ubuntu seems to be getting slower and slower with every release [05:24] ^ [05:24] natty works better on my machine than maverick did [05:24] welcome to bloat [05:25] nabi I usually get around that by using autofs for samba [05:25] nabi but make sure you have smbfs installed try dpkg -l | grep smbfs [05:26] I need to create a bootable CD from a windows XP sp3 ISO in order to reinstall XP on a netbook. I can't seem to burn a bootable copy of the CD using the ISO from MSDN. I am trying to burn the CD via Ubuntu using the built in cd burning software. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? [05:26] Anyone have a recommendation for a desktop widget to monitor internet use? [05:26] Herbs: yes, here in output [05:27] cheese [05:27] did any one here go to LinuxFest Northwest over the weekend? === dragon_slayer is now known as twinkie-murderer [05:28] not that i know of [05:28] nabi ok install automount apt-get install automount [05:28] Jordan_U you still there [05:28] ruge gdesklets [05:28] hi can someone tell me if /dev/shm is concurrent read/write safe or where to look that up? [05:28] I need to create a bootable CD from a windows XP sp3 ISO in order to reinstall XP on a netbook. I can't seem to burn a bootable copy of the CD using the ISO from MSDN. I am trying to burn the CD via Ubuntu using the built in cd burning software. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Please note that this is a legal copy as the owner of the netbook has a valid key. The owner is blind, and I am trying to help her out. Anyone? [05:28] byerley /dev/shm is rw by default [05:28] thanks Souperman, just installed ubuntu so giving it all a go :) [05:29] nvm [05:29] get the owner a program called jaws for the netbook [05:29] brb [05:29] what is the default instant messaging program in ubuntu 10.04LTS? [05:29] hi [05:29] good morning [05:30] Herbs: but can I write to it from different processes without the memory being corrupted? [05:30] disini [05:30] aku disini [05:30] byerley I dont see why not [05:30] killer_: pidgin I believe if not it's empathy [05:30] it's empathy [05:30] since 9.10 [05:30] Herbs: unable to locate package automount [05:31] histo/orbiting: roger. I'll look into that. [05:31] nabi sorry autofs :) [05:32] crohakon, how are you reading the cd on the netbook? [05:32] Herbs: I thinks problem in dep... ,get me failed to fetch http://archive... [05:32] Souperman, a portable external cd drive [05:32] *dep = repo... [05:32] 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? [05:33] there might be your problem, try to make a booteable pendrive [05:33] nabi what repos you have enabled? [05:34] disini [05:34] 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] Snakkah, Why don't you plainly use "Ubuntu Classic" interface instead of downgrading? [05:34] how do i view the equivalent of Windows 'Task Manager'? [05:34] killer top [05:35] herbs: i thought top was only the top 10 processes [05:35] crohakon, then i guess you already knew this http://wintoflash.com/home/en/ [05:35] killer nvm if you want like task manger system > resource monitor [05:35] killer no way more powerfull than that [05:35] Herbs: I don't know :D [05:36] killer_: gnome-system-monitor [05:36] then i recomend you download some other torrent on the internets and try burning it, remember not to burn the iso into the cd but to burn the image itself [05:37] Souperman, no, I did not. It is a zip file, is this a windows program? [05:37] nabi check in /etc/apt/sources.list or go to system > software sources [05:37] hi im drunk [05:37] me too [05:37] i love my ubuntu though [05:37] 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. [05:38] its not cool with me what they did removing gnome [05:38] ill survive [05:38] but its not cool [05:38] im pretty sure it is crohakon [05:38] Herbs: oh I find it: mount -t smbfs -o username=,password= //sambashare /mountpoint [05:38] gnome's still there. it's in the sessions list in the login screen inimeg [05:38] inimeg gnome has not been removed [05:38] inimeg: They didn't have much of a choice. Gnome2 is dead. [05:38] Herbs: it's works fine :D [05:38] Snakkah, I see; I don't know the answer of your original question. [05:38] nabi cool [05:39] i havent upgraded yet [05:39] hello all [05:39] cause of slow internets [05:39] my internet is not working with latest ubuntu [05:39] nforce 630 a [05:39] please help [05:39] i know its cause xp is dieing [05:40] inimeg, like I just said, I wasn't too pleased with Natty. I actually downgraded to 10.04 since it's supported until 2013. Hopefully Unity will mature by then. :D [05:41] any 1 there.? [05:41] jack123, I had a problem with internet connection at the beginning as well. I deactivate the connection and activated it again. It connected. Then after, everything is normal. I didn't have to do that all the time I boot. maybe this helps. [05:41] i agree unity is not high on my list of W.M. [05:42] i have done it many times but its not working [05:42] may be i need drivers.. my connection is working fine in mandriva [05:42] time for xfce with these new flashy desktops [05:42] inimeg, they do allow you to have the old interface though. [05:42] hey, so i just snagged this fancy Acer laptop (Dual core intel) from work... trying the ubuntu boot cd on it.. it doesn't recognize the HDD though :( how can i install? [05:42] You might consider that. I did and it didn't work for me but oh well lol [05:43] sirfunk is the hdd encypted? [05:43] sirfunk there is a acer protection for hdd in bios disable that [05:43] jack123, Didyou have any connection problem with the previous release if you were using it? Maverick, I mean. [05:43] snakkah im a x chat noob how do you get that cool lil ping in my box? [05:43] herbs: don't think so, had windows 7 on it before [05:44] hi there [05:44] jack123: i don't seen an option for that [05:44] previously i used mandrivaa.. i have switched to ubuntu [05:44] crohakon, http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html [05:44] inimeg, I just do that by typing your name. [05:44] How can i set up a booting system on EFI machines? [05:44] How can I use rsync, wirh keep creation date of directory when I moved ? [05:44] lol [05:44] ty ty [05:44] The same thing happened when you typed mine. [05:44] sirfunk there is a option for it i dont actually remember the exact name [05:44] nabi man rsync :) [05:44] Snakkah just like this? [05:44] inimeg, yes. [05:45] finally I got my wireless usb adapter working in 10.10! [05:45] Snakkah ty [05:45] Mmhmm. [05:45] inimeg, I sent you a message. [05:46] marenostrum are you there.? [05:46] Nameless: Do you have hardware that only supports EFI? [05:46] MacBook pro [05:46] does anyone know how to boot aternate ubuntu install from usb [05:46] 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] Nameless: That has a BIOS implementation and you'll save yourself headache by using it. [05:46] 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+ [05:47] jack123, Yes, I'm here. [05:47] (btw, the system has 2gb of ram) [05:47] does anyone know how to boot aternate ubuntu install from usb [05:47] i have a MacBook Pro 3.1 (late 2007) [05:47] same thing? [05:47] strav your gfx? [05:47] zeeeofu http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [05:48] Herbs: you mean what is my video card? [05:48] jack123: Thanks [05:48] yes [05:48] Nameless: Yes. [05:48] Jordan_U: at the moment i'm installing the system by saving a 200mb FAT partition as /dev/sda1 [05:49] what do you suggest to do? [05:49] 11.04, my clock has disappeared, and System Settings won't open. Any ideas? [05:49] please some 1 help me my interenet is really not working in ubuntu [05:49] 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? [05:50] Herbs: those amd apu are an integrated solution between gpu and cpu, it's an AMD E-350 APU code name zacate. [05:50] i remember doing it years ago... just cant remember how [05:50] ae0000 is it vmware.? [05:50] jack123, nforce 630 a seems to be your motherboard. What is your network card? [05:50] 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] starv hmm dont really have any experience other than nvidia [05:50] Herbs: and btw, I'm using the proprietary amd drivers for this. [05:50] do the intell legacy work with 11.0.4? [05:50] ae0000, virtualbox? [05:50] network card is onboard nforce networking controller [05:51] jack123, not sure will take a look... i really cat remember :) [05:51] atlef, maybe.. i'll have a look [05:51] found it .. .vmware converter :) [05:52] so i was right :) [05:52] and how would i enable them as i cant stand not being able to play a youtube video without super choppy playback [05:52] ae0000 virtualbox-ose [05:52] 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] Nameless: And please do just use automatic partitioning rather than trying to setup partitions manually. It will set up everything correctly. [05:52] :\ [05:52] *tought [05:52] nameless ubuntu is based on debian but debian is debian [05:53] Herbs: i know [05:53] Is there a way to install Ubuntu Server on a headless box? [05:53] love me some .deb [05:53] i am new to linux which distro will you guys recommend me.? [05:53] srry ive been drinking [05:53] ubuntu jackl123 [05:53] 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] jack123: Ubuntu [05:54] ubuntu is creating problems blah [05:54] Herbs, hmmm have you done it before with virtualbox? cant find any docs for it [05:54] jack123: try fedora [05:54] Herbs, i take that back :) [05:54] whats the difference between fedora n ubuntu [05:54] jack123: if you can't get ubuntu to work, try gentoo [05:54] 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] you answered me in #grub? sorry, maybe i didn't read [05:54] 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] !ot | inimeg [05:54] 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] 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] 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. [05:55] jack123: mandriva,debian,fedora all are decent [05:55] Hey quick question anyone know any free server blacklists for like porn sites? [05:55] 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] Herbs: just found some specs saying that the graphics controller is AMD Radeon HD 6310... if that's of any matter. [05:55] jack123: mandriva is probably the most noob friendly other than ubuntu [05:55] 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] !ot [05:55] #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! [05:56] Anyone know of Software noise cancellation for linux? [05:56] YellowGTO: Real time? [05:56] 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] Yeah Jordan_U [05:56] Jack123: download 'virtual box' and check them all out [05:56] I have it for windows works well [05:56] YellowGTO: Then no I don't personally, but it probably exists. [05:56] I've been searching google [05:57] Can't seem to find it [05:57] YellowGTO: If you don't get an answer here try in #ubuntustudio. [05:57] Jack123: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [05:57] jack123, Was it an alternate ISO? [05:57] strav its an ati card then [05:57] can't believe that program is free [05:58] hi guys [05:58] hi geekorama [05:58] how do i manage my bookmarks on ubuntu one account please? [05:58] 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" [05:59] i enabled sharing bookmarks, but i dont see them on server, just see files/notes/Contacts [05:59] i have mandriva and ubuntu as alternate iso [05:59] RavenhursT: How did you create the USB? [05:59] Ravenhurst: what program did you use to make the USB? [05:59] 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] jack123: you can check both of them out in VB [05:59] jack123, What happens if you tyr to start from a live CD (not alternate)? Isn't your machine capable of doing that? [05:59] taglass: chaospsyX : the usb creator tool that's on the UBuntu image.. [05:59] ravenhurst http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [05:59] jack123 if you have got used to mandriva then fedora might be your best bet as like mandriva is based on red hat [06:00] jack123, Is there a RAM problem? [06:00] jack123... thnx.. I'll giat [06:00] yeah my machince is capable of running live cd [06:00] no there is no ram problem [06:00] Herbs: That may have been true at one point, but that's like saying Suse is still based upon slackware. [06:00] chronicle_, http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html [06:00] RavenhursT: watch for any errors when you pendrivelinux....might have a broken image,have to redownload it [06:00] wait no [06:00] jack123, So what happens when you run live CD? No internet connection? [06:01] chronicle_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DansGuardian [06:01] RavenhursT: You used the USB creator that comes on the same image that you wrote to the USB drive? [06:01] taglass I havent used or kept up eith mandriva since it was mandrake [06:01] :/ 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] Jordan_U: yes [06:01] i havent run ubuntu as a live cd yet [06:01] shall i try i t.? [06:01] Thats great thanks Souperman [06:01] give a go [06:02] which version of ubuntu jack123? [06:02] RavenhursT: That's really odd because that error is normally from an incompatibility between syslinux versions. [06:02] latest 11.04 [06:02] downloaded yesterday [06:02] cool [06:02] Jordan_U: yeah.. I dunno... just wanna get it installed.. [06:02] lol [06:02] jack123 if you want to try ubuntu I suggest 10.04 [06:02] if i run live cd which things shall i note marenostrum [06:02] jack123: you got a decent video card? [06:02] yes 8800gt [06:03] 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] me neither [06:03] RavenhursT: And 11.04 comes with syslinux 4.02, not 3.82 as in your error message? [06:03] it shouldent [06:03] RavenhursT: That wasn't meant to have a question mark at the end :) [06:03] Jordan_U: That's the message I got... it just hung there.. [06:03] yeah it offered me 4 kernels to chooose from both were different versions [06:03] all the 4 * [06:04] Jordan_U: I have no idea why it said that... [06:04] jack123: the grub menu ? [06:04] RavenhursT: Did you make the USB from Windows or from within Ubuntu booted from a burned CD? [06:04] no the installiton menu [06:04] jack123, Note kernel. Note driver for the card(s) and try to note the settings for connection, if any. [06:04] jack123: where did you download the ISO and what distro? [06:04] download from ubuntu homepage [06:04] jack123: alternate? [06:04] distro is ubuntu [06:05] jack123, I googled some and I'm almost sure that it should work. [06:05] what is altername.? [06:05] altetnate* [06:05] whats the filename of your ISO image [06:05] 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] you mean it will work after reinstallation..? [06:05] ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64 [06:06] hello [06:06] RavenhursT, get unetbootin and use that to make your usb http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [06:06] raven hurst follow this link n download the software .. it will create a bootable usb ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64 [06:06] amitush: Hello [06:06] need help with installing edimax wireless pci card [06:06] ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64 [06:06] is it possible ?

[06:07] yes [06:07] amd x2 4400+ [06:07] 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] atlef: ok... [06:07] ok [06:07] jack123: remake the usb with pendrive linux [06:08] jack123, * atandars= standard [06:08] amitush: I've never tried it, but there are some results on google for that card and ubuntu [06:08] chalcedony, do you know how to install the old intell drivers?

Anyone have any ideas? Anything better to use? [06:09] its like 4g internet [06:09] what is that? [06:09] yeah its like 4g interent [06:09] like the opposite of LTE 4g [06:09] there's LTE and wimax [06:09] jack123 can your network adapters handle 4 gig? [06:09] arg... so many different ways to skin a freakin' Narwahl..

I'm surprised the FCC lets them get away with it. It's all 3.8 or 3.9G. [06:10] yeah nvm lo to much to drink before engaging brain [06:10] but i am not the same connection right now using in windows [06:10] how to check if we have sucessfully upgraded ubuntu system ??

[06:11] jack123, ıf connection works with live CD and you install but not have a connection after the initiall reboot, plainly deactivate and reactivate the connection from the GUI (from right top) [06:11] jack123: are you using wimax right now in windows? [06:11] blackshirt: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [06:11] blackshirt: add sudo in there ofcourse: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:11] are there no tutorials for general unity usage?(ubuntu 11/04 gui) [06:11] i have done deactivating and activating it from top right but still not working [06:11] !msg | amitush [06:11] amitush: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[06:13] you know on the panel on the top,can you connect to the wimax signal [06:13] does it even show wireless connections? [06:13] blackshirt: cat /etc/issue [06:13] *wireless networks i mean [06:14] how do i find additional panel applets for 'The gnome panel 2.30.2'? i want a CPU tracking one where it shows the CPU usage graph. I have it on Crunchbang with XFCE [06:14] no wireless networks for me [06:14] the icon that looks like a signal [06:14] Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l [06:14] blackshirt: ^^^^ [06:14] yeah it shows [06:14] thanky you! [06:14] thats icon [06:14] how do you fix "No root file system defined" After a install using Wubi? [06:14] yeah it shows that icon [06:14] jack123: whats your wireless device? [06:14] does it list a wireless network when you click that icon? [06:14] histo: thanks [06:14] ok cmon innovative new concept? mac has been using dash forever :P [06:14] yeah it lists but its blank [06:14] because i dont have wireless [06:15] and on wired it list something e0401 or something like that [06:15] you have a ethernet cable going to your comp? [06:15] killer_: gnome has an applet called system monitor or something [06:15] yes [06:15] oh [06:15] jack123, and other friends: Jack says that Ubuntu is offering him 4 kernels to choose one during installation. What kind of an installation is that? [06:15] killer_: there are many others xfce has one as well [06:15] you have DHCP turned on? [06:15] on the wimax box ? [06:15] killer_: right click in xfce and select add to panel then start typing in cpu [06:15] yeah [06:15] dhcp [06:16] jack123: what is your wireless device.. thats the first step in figuring out why you're wireless doesn't work [06:16] he doesnt have wireless [06:16] he has a 4g wimax box [06:16] yyeah right [06:16] ohhhhhh.. ok [06:16] my bad [06:16] i was confused [06:16] but the box is receiving a wireless signal ? [06:16] and sending that to your comp over ethernet? [06:17] yeah absolutely right [06:17] 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] go into 192.168.1.1 and hit the print screen button [06:17] and show me [06:17] no wait [06:17] ok [06:17] do this [06:17] hista: system monitor ended up being what i wanted. TY [06:18] ok tell me [06:18] boot into the live cd and 'try ubuntu' [06:18] ok then [06:18] on the top panel click system > administration > network tools [06:18] ok then [06:19] theres a pull-down menu on 'network devices ' [06:19] ok then [06:19] jack123, from what media did you install? I'm still curious about that 4 kernel choice. [06:19] hey can some one tell me how to go to xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4 o n 11.0.4? [06:19] from usb [06:19] get [06:19] 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] select (eth0) and see if it has been assigned an IP. It (eth0) should be on the list too. [06:20] shall i show you the screen shots ..? [06:20] try this first [06:20] mkquist: use nvidia-settings [06:20] jack123 try the kernel ending -29 [06:20] ook [06:20] will be right back [06:20] k [06:20] jack123, no need. try to let ubuntu decide almost all. Except your user name etc. [06:20] ok now i have render artifacts :/ [06:20] taking screen shots on ubuntu n windows are smiliar.? [06:20] yup [06:20] hateball: kinda of obvious... should try that.. ty [06:20] cool [06:21] jack123 use the one ending -29 theres been 2 relesed since [06:21] paint is similar to .? [06:21] guys, about ubuntu cloud, how can i delete files without deleting them from my hard disk? [06:21] mkquist: you need to "gksudo nvidia-settings" for some settings to stick tho... I cant recall exactly which [06:21] jack123, Don't try to choose kernel type or something. Let the live CD decide. [06:21] hateball: k [06:21] ok [06:22] jack123: the ip should not be 0.0.0.0 either [06:22] it should be 192.168.1.xxx [06:23] jack123 if you want to troubleshoot properly use the older kernel and work from there === Logan_ is now known as ACCBat [06:24] jack123: also do 'lspci' and see if your NIC is on there [06:24] if its on there then it's loaded right? working properly? correct driver? Herbs? [06:25] it will be listed by 'ethernet controller' [06:25] whats the apt source so i can downgrade video drivers [06:25] chaospsyX it should be [06:25] for 11.0.4 [06:25] 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] yeah [06:26] he did that already and said internet wasn't working though right ? jack123? [06:26] yes. [06:26] marenostrum no why let anything decide especially when you are trying to fix an issue! [06:26] jack123: Have you booted into the live cd and done 'try ubuntu' ? [06:27] Herbs, Can you figure out the problem? [06:27] not yet [06:27] chaospsyX: I believe he left to go boot the live cd. I haven't noticed him log back in [06:27] Hi, i cant get edge flipping to work properly in 11.04 Gnome... anyone have any solutions or ideas? [06:27] why was he saying his internet wasn't working???? [06:28] and why would a live cd ask him to select a kernel image? he has left out some info [06:28] grub does that after installation [06:28] what has ctrl-alt-backspace been replaced with? === ACCBat is now known as [Live] [06:29] Hello [06:29] Is anyone here [06:29] pie_, alt+sysrq(usually printscreen)+k [06:29] ahoy [06:30] e [06:30] 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] me neither [06:30] may=many [06:30] i don't know what he was talking about..... [06:30] marenostrum exactly thats why I think hes done something wrong [06:30] 有懂汉语的吗？ [06:31] !cn [06:31] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [06:31] Herbs, me too. Because of that I advice a syandard installation. [06:31] oh man this is disastrous lol [06:31] whered taskbarthings go xD [06:31] he also mentioned something about the 'alternate' iso image way back too [06:31] I just installed Gnome Shell via ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3, but when I try to log in to the session, it tells me "Could not update ICEauthority (/home/users/.ICEauthority)" and kicks me out, can anyone help? === [Live] is now known as RebeccaBlack [06:32] (Running 11.04) [06:32] what textfile do i reset to fix my screwed up gui? :/ [06:32] isn't that a text-based installation ? [06:32] i'm not familiar with the alternate iso [06:32] pie_, /etc/X11/xorg.conf probably [06:32] pie_: Go to System Settings -> HArdware -> Keyboard -> Options -> Key sequence to kill the X server if you want the old ctrl - alt - bksp back [06:32] chaospsyX, First I mentioned alternate. Asked if you used that ISO. Then he asked what alternate is. [06:33] oh lol [06:33] nah i never used it [06:33] man im totally destroying this [06:33] How to remove appearance from Preferences Menu? [06:34] chaospsyX, maybe it was better to ask him the name or md5sum of the ISO he downloaded. === debd is now known as soap [06:35] He said the filename for natty 64 bit livecd [06:35] I just installed Gnome Shell via ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 on a new installation of 11.04, but when I try to log in to the session, it tells me "Could not update ICEauthority (/home/users/.ICEauthority)" and kicks me out, can anyone help? [06:35] marenostrum probablly but then again hes seeing 4 kernels from the install disk lol [06:35] he probably doesn't even know what md5 is [06:35] kk [06:35] theres a sh script called Xreset, or should i just delete the xorg.conf file? [06:36] acually no xorg.conf [06:36] the version of syslinux he was seeing was not what his iso image should have contained either [06:36] so......who knows [06:36] 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] maybe hes downloaded a root kitted rogue install [06:37] Herbs, Is there such a chance?! [06:37] >.< [06:37] ?? uhh? [06:37] marenostrum technically there is but the likeliness I dont know but end users never seem to suprise me [06:38] Herbs, I see. :) [06:38] kernel bug http://bit.ly/jpStCy line:2921 [06:38] has anybody used this ? http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/ i'm not sure if this'll work for dual boot config [06:38] kernel bug http://bit.ly/m2BtFD line:1401 [06:39] not to be naggy but...i have exams coming up and i kind of need to figure this out :/ ive never messed with xorg and i actually cant make any new windows come p other than irc because that starts p automatically [06:39] *up [06:39] Hi, i cant get edge flipping to work properly in 11.04 Gnome... anyone have any solutions or ideas? === MCUMH is now known as MUILTFN [06:40] run into btrfs bugs in 11.04 Server x64 [06:40] im logged in in the shell you get when you press ctrl+alt+f1 [06:41] pie_ what happens when you type service gdm start [06:43] anyone using btrfs with 11.04 Server x64?

[07:18] hmm [07:18] duende: Va a #ubuntu-es. [07:19] jack123, lets check md5sum of the ISO now. [07:19] 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] 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] ok [07:19] jack123, do you know how to do? [07:19] jack123 2.6.38-8-generic what install are you using? [07:19] nope [07:19] thats an old kernel [07:19] how do i change gdm theme/appearance in xubuntu?

[07:41] bullgard4: ok, thanks [07:41] I have ubuntu 11.04 installed on one 10gb partition of my laptop's hard drive along with Win7 on another partition (490gb). Grub2 is on the MBR.

[07:43] Herbs: dpkg -p versus sudo apt-get purge ? [07:44] there is a file [07:44] did anyone meet the error with ICEauthority after gnome3 installation on 11.04? [07:44] 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] jack123, unetbootin. [07:45] jack123: checking now [07:45] better with not used usb flash or cd [07:45] ok [07:45] bullgard4: that asks for an ISO...is there a way to do it using dd? [07:45] jack123: they match [07:46] what program did you use to make the usb ? [07:46] Rehan: There is. But I do not know any details. [07:46] Herbs: Ah. [07:47] coool [07:47] remake the usb with unetbootin jack [07:47] is there a way to tell Synaptic to just download, and not install marked packages? [07:47] jack123, md5sum is correct. [07:47] Rehan: One dd command alone is not enough. [07:47] i used the same which stated on the ubuntu website [07:47] yeah thanks marenostrum [07:47] so whats next [07:48] bullgard4: whats that mean [07:48] remake the usb [07:48] use unetbootin [07:48] ok [07:48] jack123, original here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/MD5SUMS [07:48] make sure you format the usb [07:48] ok [07:48] as fat32 [07:48] jack123, use only new usb flash or cd. or you will get errors constantly. [07:48] usb only supports fat32 [07:49] oh,lol [07:49] ha ha ha [07:49] or good quality. [07:49] can you burn discs jack ? [07:49] yes i can [07:49] burn the iso to a cd [07:49] shall i burn .? [07:49] frees up the usb too [07:50] yeah burn it and install it [07:50] 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] burn as a data disc [07:50] i burn using alochol [07:50] ok [07:51] ok is there any usb which supports ntfs.?

I realized it now. Hope he reads the page I gave. ubuntu howto for tISO burning. [08:01] 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? [08:02] chaospsyX, ot should obviously be NOT data BIT ISO image. [08:02] *but [08:03] no its not mare [08:03] 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] r do they just filter in a proper way? [08:03] docplatypus please provide your kernel version , and hardware information I cant help with desktop issues but it will help those that can [08:03] jack123, Why? [08:03] i am burning the iso directly [08:03] same process which you stated [08:03] good [08:04] jack123, OK it means you are burning as an image not as a data CD. [08:04] yeah i am burning it as an image at slow speed [08:04] 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] yeah follow the page he pointed you to jack on burning iso [08:04] k [08:04] ok burning finished [08:04] jack123, OK. Perfect. Its what it should be. [08:04] install that sucka [08:04] ha ha [08:05] yeah that sucka wasted hell lotta time of mine [08:05] jack123, While installing, if you like, check CD for defects. There's such a option at first. lets guarantee. [08:07] ok [08:07] brb after the install [08:07] jack123, waiting. [08:07] did anyone meet the error with ICEauthority after gnome3 installation on 11.04? === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [08:07] is there any good charting tool for openoffice calc?

[08:14] Good Moorning === mirco__ is now known as mirco [08:14] 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) [08:15] 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 [08:16] Browser, Hi! [08:16] freakynl it would be empty after an upgrade I think [08:16] 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] Herbs: it's been 4 days [08:16] Joker_99: depends on the support room, or well, mostly the active people in it [08:17] Joker_99, I won't say that. :) Question? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [08:17] freaknyl are you running an ftp server? [08:18] Herbs: vcftpd is running, (no clue why... I never added it to start automatically) but it isn't reachable (firewalled :D) [08:19] freaknyl /var/log/messages would log ftp connections so soething is wrong [08:19] freaknyl what happens when you ftp localhost from the box [08:19] freakynl: My /var/log/messages has been filled the last time on Mar 17, 2011. (*surprise*) === aji_ is now known as Guest31455 [08:20] bullgard4: that seems rather impossible, unless your clock is inaccurate [08:20] yeah freeakynl ive seen it in every room ive been to so far except 1 [08:20] freaknyl would you mind giving me the servers ip? [08:20] #gentoo is usually fine, most people newer to the internet seem to prefer forums tho', I've been using irc since 1995 :) [08:20] freakynl: My clock is accurate. [08:21] Herbs: err yes :) it's firewalled too as stated you won't be able to reach anything anyways [08:21] i like #nmap its pretty slow thogh [08:21] I'm using ubuntu at work and wondering if I should upgrade to Natty? Could not find much info about what kind of files\settings I should back up [08:21] freaknyl so whats the server doing and I assume its serving a local network? [08:22] How do I tell metacity not to run. I'm using a different window manager, and it is causing my CPU to be eaten up. [08:22] Herbs: it's running a java application. it should have filled messages at boot tho', it didn't. it does get rotated [08:22] but if i kill it it just respawns, and there is no option for it in gnome-session-properties [08:22] red: You should not. Better wait and see if the many bugs get fixed. [08:23] freaknyl what writes the logs the java app? [08:23] has anyone installed gnome3 and is not able to sudo any longer? [08:23] gnome3 will not affect sudo [08:24] how i trace the which my application is connected with net or current activity of application [08:24] Herbs: well... it does. i cannot sudo in gnome-shell but i can in tty1 [08:24] 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] Herbs:*gnome-terminal [08:24] 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] installed a new sound theme in ubuntu 11.04 for different warning and desktop-login and desktop-logout like sounds everything is fine except desktop-logout sound not working..i have desktop-logout sound in newly installed sound theme .....how can i fix this problem [08:24] you mean gksudo?

[08:25] gksudo [08:25] !elaborate gaurav_help [08:25] su [08:25] Herbs: no i mean `sudo apt-get install` for example [08:26] red, the sense of Web upgarade is having your settings on the new release automatically as far as possible. [08:26] whaat u mean nik? [08:26] how to turn on advance graphic mode in ubuntu 11.04 may be it is in default normal mode after upgrading from 10.10 ? [08:26] niklasfi do you get any error messages [08:27] Joker_99 i mean i open a gnome-terminal and enter my password and i get "sorry, try again" (wrong password) [08:27] bullgard4: ya that file is playing properly in /usr/sounds/ ...but i am getting logout sound of ubuntu sound theme [08:27] i am using eclipse and i am updating my plugins i want 2 know from where eclipse is making connection . like netstat it shows me i want 2 see the details of that [08:27] niklasfi but gnome3 should have no bearing on a shell [08:27] Joker_99: but i can log in if i press ctrl-alt-f1 [08:28] hey guys [08:28] and i can sudo there [08:28] hmm /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf contains no references to /var/log/messages whatsoever, only 2 other files in there ... 20-ufw.conf and postfix.conf (no number?), none of these define /var/log/messages, has it been deprecated or am I lacking config files?

[08:29] Is there any alternative to Gwibber? [08:29] u check caps and num lock? [08:29] openbees: Then I can give only a general advice yet: Try to establish the association between the logout event and triggering that particular sound file. [08:29] Herbs: yes [08:29] and u sure u have the right pass [08:29] niklasfi hmm strange [08:29] when i am updating my eclipse plugin it always get terminated at 49 % shows me fetching error [08:29] bullgard4: how can i do so?

But purge remove would be better not to interfere anything to Libre Office from Open Office settings or files etc. [08:36] abhinav_singh, In my opinion. I'm not an expert. [08:36] niklasfi probably the strat up script and when it enters lvl 5 [08:36] Herbs: well it works there [08:37] Got no sound in 11.04? [08:38] i want to try libre office first and if suits me then i will uninstall openoffice marenostrum: [08:39] how do i trace ip address through terminal [08:39] 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. [08:40] hello [08:40] gaurav_help: What do you mean trace? mtr is a nice tool for traceroute [08:40] yup marenostrum [08:41] Hello, I get an "unable to mount cd, not authorized" error on my ltsp clients when I try to mount a cd, does anyone know how to fix this? [08:41] Lungan, I read your sound problem but can't say anything. I may advice to try it with the live CD and if works there -probably work- try to see what is different in your installation. [08:41] Lungan, Not a very sophisticated way, but sometimes works. [08:41] bullgard4: is there any info what the worst bugs are for now? [08:41] (apart from browsing the tracker) [08:42] how to set Set the visual effects in ubuntu 11.04 does any one have idea ? [08:42] abhinav_singh, By the way, I can assure you that Libre Office is very very good. There's no reason to prefer Open Office. Don't afraid. [08:43] red I do not know what you refer to. I am lost. [08:43] Hello, I want to install ubuntu as a dual boot with XP have run wubi twice, the first time I installed it on the same drive as XP but when I brought up ubuntu from the menu it said something about no root file so i tried again but gave it its own partion and I didnt even Get the menu. I uninstalled both times so what should I do now to get it working [08:43] >bullgard4| red: You should not. Better wait and see if the many bugs get fixed. [08:43] was refering to this :) [08:44] Hello, I want to install ubuntu as a dual boot with XP have run wubi twice, the first time I installed it on the same drive as XP but when I brought up ubuntu from the menu it said something about no root file so i tried again but gave it its own partion and I didnt even Get the menu. I uninstalled both times so what should I do now to get it working [08:44] 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] hey in one of the irc's its saying cannot paste to channel...? [08:45] bobby_ sounds like wubi isnt setting the mount points I wont try to help as Ive never used it but might help someone who has [08:45] I was under the impression I could continue using Gnome 2 if Unity didnt work well for me? [08:45] hiii people [08:45] red: Yes you can. Actually, I have done so too. [08:45] Ok good [08:45] BOBBY_, have you examine here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [08:45] Herbs: what does that mean [08:45] Joker_99: maybee your nick isnt registered? [08:45] ill have a look [08:46] bobby_ it means it doesent know what to do with the file system [08:46] BOBBY_: Don't use wubi. Install a normal dual boot by booting from the Ubuntu install CD and running the installer there. [08:46] i cant find an option to do that [08:47] BOBBY_: Do you know how to burn a .iso file to a CD? [08:47] 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] Yes I have made a USB Pen but when I did wubi I erased it [08:48] BOBBY_: Make another bootable flash drive with Ubuntu and boot from it to install Ubuntu to your hard drive. [08:48] 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] But i dont want it to erase Xp [08:48] BOBBY_: There are great step by step instructions @ http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [08:48] BOBBY_: It won't. [08:48] bobby_: It won't erase your XP [08:48] Thanks [08:48] Unless you specify it to that it [08:49] Herbs, So, do you say that Wubi is something which can not be used? Weird. (I have no idea on Wubi.) [08:49] BOBBY_: You're welcome. [08:49] Is there a way to replace the 'view photos' shortcut in the launcher with something else? [08:49] marenostrum Ive never used wubi but I also rarely use gui apart from my desktop but would not trust anything that runs in windows [08:50] if i install kubuntu on my 10.10 gome, how can i go back to gnome if i need to [08:50] i want to recover some files and i already have the byte offset ... now i want to do a raw read ... should i use dd, dd_rescue, savehd7, GNU ddrescue or dd_rhelp ?? [08:50] will it have a choice at the login screen, or more complicated than that [08:50] hey is the nick server up? [08:51] Herbs, me too :) But friends developing Wubi should konow something. Else, it would be a waste of time to develope it. === nach is now known as hookdump [08:51] marenostrum I totally agree but I have no experience with it sorr [08:51] y === ruben is now known as Guest47951 [08:53] dijonyummy: you can choose at login screen [08:53] Hello, I'm currently using the New Wave theme in Unity and the top panel has a black text on a black background, unreadable. How to fix this? [08:54] vega: cool thanks! [08:56] Does anyone know how to print borderless with custom sizes? Any program will work, I just want to know. I have an HP inkjet if that helps? [08:57] miles__, I'm on the default theme but I've just tried New Wave and didn't experience your problem. Maybe it helps to customize more after you switch to New Wave. [08:58] what was the name of the tools for PC temperature observing ? [08:58] marenostrum, what do you mean by "customize more"? === lance is now known as Guest45647 [09:00] 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). From there you can make some more settings as I can see. maybe you find something for the text colour etc. [09:01] miles_ youve used windows before ? [09:01] Does anyone know how to print borderless with custom sizes? Any program will work, I just want to know. I have an HP inkjet if that helps? [09:02] Has anyone had issues with broadcom drivers after installing some recent updates? [09:02] (using natty btw) [09:02] casey, I don't have a printer at the noment but what's the problen when -lets say- you try via Libre Office? [09:02] In 11.04, how do i change my workspace positioning? Default has a 2x2 grid, but i would much prefer a 1x4 row. [09:02] sdollins, broadcom not but atheros yes [09:03] 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] casey, you should find that in printer properties if your printer supports this [09:03] Odd. It just completely screwed up earlier. I disabled them and after about 10 reboots it appears to be using the built in drivers without issue. BrunoPE. [09:03] mgj right click preferences? [09:03] how come the ubuntu repos are feeding sooo slowly? [09:03] casey, hmmm. You say jpeg. I don't know that. [09:03] robin0800: it's a 5.5 by 8.5 jpeg lol. Not very likely. I have looked there though. === lance_ is now known as Guest68600 [09:03] herb, right click what? [09:04] marenostrum: jpeg is an image filetype. [09:04] gatral Ive noticed the gb repos are really slow try the main repos they max out for me [09:04] marenostrum: I'm basically saying I have a picture that is a custom size. [09:04] !jpeg [09:04] casey, have you been able to do this before? [09:04] marenostrum, that was a nice idea, however it doesn't seem to work either (and the theme has all its default colors) [09:04] mgj the workspace [09:04] robin0800: On windows I was able to, so I know my printer has the capability. [09:04] sdollins, wait [09:04] greetings channel, I cannot create a file in a directory that has group write permissions for a group I belong to :-( [09:04] Herbs: how do i switch? [09:05] BrunoPE: Probably unrelated but after installing some recent updates, my screen stays dim no matter what now :/ [09:05] system > administration software sources select main repos from drop down thats the quickest way [09:06] casey, have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=398506 Maybe not exactly the topic you want but it seems related and you can modify the solution to your needs. [09:06] Okay uhhh I just noticed the battery/power thing in the indicator applets has disappeared :/ [09:06] marenostrum: let me give it a go. thanks for trying. [09:07] herbs, im sorry, i dont understand you. If i right click the actual workspace, i can change my wallpaper - thats about it. I want to modify the amount of workspaces i have and/or the ordering/layout of them [09:07] marenostrum: I've actually already tried f-spot. Thanks for looking though [09:07] casey, well I've just checked it is printer properties and it is the in the media size [09:07] robin0800: let me take a look. [09:07] mgj no the workspace section in th bottom right psnel [09:07] miles__, Are you on Natty? Was it a fresh install or do you have some older settings in your system? [09:07] Herbs, the bottom right panel does not exist in 11.04 [09:08] drwxrwxr-x 6 root webdev 4096 2011-05-03 10:59 srv (these are the permissions for the /srv directory. I belong to the webdev group, but cannot create anything in the directory) [09:08] mgj sorry Ive never used 11.04 or unity [09:08] ok, thanks anyway [09:08] [ot] 4:04.. time not found! [09:08] robin0800: I have actually found this selection already. But have you found a way to actually put in values. All I can choose is custom and that is the extent of it :(. [09:08] casey, You're welcome. Those guys say that they do something to print borderless but I didn't do such a thing. Good luck. [09:09] bgoldsmith its because root owns it [09:09] bgoldsmith: "id" as actual user lists webdev? [09:09] marenostrum, Natty, kept my /home partition from 10.04 [09:09] heloo everybody i found the best international horserace booky check this link the best deposit bonus and the best and easyest way to win at horsebet : http://www.turfezpartners.com/?a_aid=f1e0a0b6 [09:09] so if root owns a directory, the group permissions don't apply? [09:10] bgoldsmith depens on the groups permissions [09:10] Herbs: even Main is feeding slowly, but faster than US [09:10] casey mine has a whole selection with borderless in brackets beside them, but it does depend on the driver [09:10] heloo everybody i found the best international horserace booky check this link the best deposit bonus and the best and easyest way to win at horsebet : http://www.turfezpartners.com/?a_aid=f1e0a0b6 [09:10] robin0800: dang.

[09:11] casey, what driver are you using? [09:11] miles__, Can home has something to do with those settings? Maybe. What if you add a new user. And choose that theme for that user. I'm saying this because I don't experience the problem with that theme. [09:11] robin0800: not sure. But I have an HP printer so definitely and HP lol. [09:11] miles__, Mine is a fresh install. [09:12] jussi: thank you [09:12] 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? kernel -- 2.6.32-31-generic, audio -- 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller (rev [09:12] 02) [09:12] meganerd: you around? [09:12] llutz: id as actual user does not list webdev, but "groups" as actual user does. [09:12] bgoldsmith: logoff and relogin [09:12] Any way to get gmail notifications from the indicator applet? [09:12] 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 [09:12] miles__, Can there be a hidden directory in /hme for personal preferences, from the past? Maybe deleting them? [09:12] casey, have you got the best driver? hp should be well supported [09:13] DocPlatypus: I had the same problem with my intel audio chips. [09:13] robin0800: how could I check? [09:13] casey in printer properties [09:13] gartral: what'd you do to fix it or work around it? [09:13] lutz reloging wont make a diff [09:13] the dir is owened by root [09:13] robin0800: ok so should it match my printer you're saying? [09:13] bgoldsmith: how did you add yourself to the webdev-group? [09:14] 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] this isnt desktop ubuntu [09:14] casey yes and if you can't try hp's site [09:14] Herbs: the group has write-permissions, so what? [09:14] I swear to $deity, I am going to scream. :( Everytime I reboot something else breaks lol.. [09:15] bgoldsmith if you want ownership log in as rott and chown user:user dir [09:15] they don't want ownership [09:15] Herbs: read this again drwxrwxr-x 6 root webdev 4096 2011-05-03 10:59 srv [09:15] they want the group to be able to write to it, which it should if they are properly in the group [09:15] llutz and that would depend on the group permissions [09:15] robin0800: I'm trying right now :). [09:15] gartral, heh, but i cannot do that when 11.10 comes out, i should probably learn how to do it with unity too =) [09:16] sdollins, What's broken lastly? [09:16] Herbs: do you need further explanation of that line? owner root, group webdev WITH write-perm [09:16] llutz no but I think you do [09:16] 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. [09:17] Well, wifi randomly decides to work, this time i have no borders around windows ( can't remember the technical name) [09:17] Everything went to hell after I installed some updates earlier. [09:17] casey, as long as you can select borderless does it matter? [09:17] Anyone here ever set up an Ubuntu box as a wireless access point? [09:17] llutz: thanks! logging off and logging back in solved the problem. I can now write to the directory [09:18] I know meganerd has, but he's not around - it seems. [09:18] bgoldsmith: you always have to relogin after changing your groups to make the change active [09:18] 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] Woo! It's all working now. - reboot. [09:18] sdollins, On maverick on on Natty? (beginning of the mess) [09:18] 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! [09:19] casey, do hp have linux drivers for your printer? [09:19] any video converter to suggest to make mp4 for Nokia E71 [09:19] gartral, thats cheating [09:19] hi [09:19] 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] wquestion [09:19] sdollins, ıs it OK now? After reboot? [09:19] robin0800: I believe I did download an hp version when you pointed that out early. It comes from CUPS. [09:19] sdollins: good to know. I was thinking of upgrading my Maverick system to Natty. Now I'll wait. :) [09:19] question [09:20] How do I clear the most recently used program list in unity? [09:20] 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] mgj: not really.. considering that Unity doesn't have any facilities too change the number/layout of workspaces [09:20] Nope marenostrum [09:20] 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] I rebooted and wifi doesn't work lol [09:20] llutz: hmmm what are the data structures/files that get updated on reboot? [09:20] It doesn't seem to matter if the proprietary broadcom drivers are enabled or not, it just randomly decides to work. [09:20] bgoldsmith: its the login shell reading the new environment [09:20] gartral, really ?! are you sure there is no such facility? [09:21] sdollins reboot your router first before wasting time [09:21] casey, in job options I've got scale to fit [09:21] My router works fine. [09:21] I've already tested it. [09:21] mgj: Unity is QUITE limited when compared too Gnome [09:21] 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] question [09:21] robin0800: I see that as well. Unfortunately no luck with that so far. [09:21] question [09:21] llutz: are the groups that a user belong to a part of the environment? [09:21] by not connecting to the internet? [09:21] My god, that is beyond retarded. Remind me again why this change to unity was a great idea? [09:21] i dont lilke unity, what alterantives are there [09:21] 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 [09:22] pennnn: KDE, Xfce, etc. [09:22] pennnn: logout, click name, dropdown box at the bottom can be changed too Ubuntu Classic. I use that [09:22] sdollns: cant i go on usinggnome 2 !! in 11.10 ? [09:22] bgoldsmith: kind of, all those settings were read when you login. [09:22] pennnn: they're removing the classic desktop in 11.10 [09:22] pennnn: u can select ubuntu cliassic from login window [09:22] pennnn: read my instructions [09:23] Can anyone show me how to clear recently used program in the list in unity? like Clear Recently Items in gnome! [09:23] 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] sdollins: they can remove from the pre-installed envirnment, but I will never give up my gnome! [09:23] bgoldsmith: tbh, i can't explain that in details off hand. [09:23] gar [09:24] robin0800: gar? [09:24] 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] Any one here using an nvidia quadro (nvs 295) or like with a dual monitor setup on 11.04 ? [09:24] they REMOVE !! [09:24] which is better unity or gnome? [09:24] marenostrum: any luck with that? [09:24] gnome classic [09:24] from 11.10 [09:24] gartral, unity 3d and unity 2d in 11.10 [09:24] any video converter to make mp4 for Nokia E71 [09:24] bgoldsmith lets just say the perms on that box are to lax [09:24] W:Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_source_Sources Hash Sum mismatch [09:24] , W:Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch [09:24] , W:Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty-proposed_universe_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch [09:24] , E:Some index files failed to download.

[09:24] gnome classic [09:24] I reboot over and over. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. ._. [09:24] they REMOVE !! [09:24] from 11.10 [09:25] llutz,quiescens: hmm ... so the groups command just reads the /etc/groups file. [09:25] I wouldnt let your group have permission changes [09:25] sdollins, He doesn't know GNU/Linux well. I should pay a visit. I don't know what is broken. [09:25] they REMOVE !! [09:25] gnome classic [09:25] from 11.10 [09:25] herbs: so what would be a good setting for /srv/ [09:25] bgoldsmith: yes but it won't check if those entries are active. "id" does [09:25] pennn:please stop repeating [09:25] pennnn, yes [09:25] I really regret upgrading to natty :/ [09:25] root:root [09:25] can i install it [09:25] robin0800: any other ideas? [09:25] my SO talked me into it really. [09:25] they REMOVE it [09:26] sdollins: why? [09:26] pennnn: I imagine someone will provide a way to put gnome2 back. [09:26] gartral: everything keeps breaking! [09:26] pennnn: dont worry, u can still install gnome by PPA [09:26] casey, hp site linux support? [09:26] cool [09:26] herbs: what if the webdev group wants to add a new website inside /srv (webdev = webadmin group) [09:26] robin0800: Alright thanks for your help. [09:26] pennnn no they don't. logout, select your name, then language and GDM selection will appear [09:26] pennnn, Wer'll find a solution. :) We have time for 11.10. For now, we have Classic at hand. No problem. :) [09:26] sdollins: i haven't noticed any breakage, but then again, i did a clean install. [09:26] ok [09:26] thanks [09:26] hi [09:26] so what does webdav need to do? [09:27] I don't have time to do a clean install really but it looks like I have no other choice. [09:27] 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] I'm not impresed with natty, It's very primitive for a mainstream release [09:27] 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] some have a problem in 11.04 with video and VIA ?? reboot X [09:27] granted, the Natty are SLOOOOOW right now 'cause all the upgrades [09:27] but is better to the another desktop environment [09:27] because ppa arent so good [09:28] How did a bug like being unable to rearrange the windows in the windows list applet not get fixed? [09:28] but is better to the another desktop environment [09:28] daxroc: why do you say that? [09:28] because ppa are not so good [09:28] sdollins, Try to figure out the problem and bug report if you can do. But, clean install is the solution, of course. :) [09:28] It was reported in early January according to launchpad. [09:28] quiescens: the "id" command did not show the group change before re-login, but the "groups" command did [09:28] sdollins because its a minor bug [09:28] no idea? [09:28] they REMOVE !! [09:28] herbs: the webdev group needs to be able to create directories inside /srv [09:28] gnome classic [09:28] from 11.10 [09:28] Minor or not, i would consider it to be important functionality. [09:29] still no answer? [09:29] pennnn: that's a whole 6 months away. [09:29] sdollins, Which one? wireless thing? Can you supply me with the address? [09:29] is it better to change [09:29] so make owenership of w/srv webdav:webdav [09:29] The issue with the window list. [09:29] so what we use instead of unity, since my laptop says does not support unity? [09:29] to kde [09:29] I haven't found anything in relation to the wireless issue. [09:29] 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] 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] they REMOVE !! [09:29] gnome classic [09:29] sdollins, I see. [09:29] from 11.10 [09:29] 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] is it better to change [09:29] 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.

[09:31] herol3oy STOP IT [09:31] stop what? [09:31] marenostrum: I can't remember if you said or not but is he using broadcom drivers? [09:31] spamming around [09:31] herol3oy: You're not doing anything wrong. [09:31] 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] pennnn: you're doing the same thing so I wouldn't complain. [09:31] :O i'm not spaning [09:31] pennnn: Stop what you're doing. Now. [09:32] where can i take off that bloody bar [09:32] starminn i report you now [09:32] pennnn, 1- Don't flood. 2- pps is ppa. No one says that PPAs will be compatible. Ask that PPA!s owner. [09:32] pennnn: Go for it, buddy. [09:32] pennnn: not to ask question you mean? [09:32] 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] [10:31] no answer yet?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:32] herol3oy: put it on a usb drive and boot with it in [09:32] sdollins, Most probably. Yes. :) [09:32] u ubuntu developters, want me to go back to windows or what [09:32] 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] marenostrum: It appears after I upgraded to natty it stopped using the broadcom drivers but they stayed enabled. [09:33] 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] i am backkkkkkkkkkkkk [09:33] which one I have to choose? [09:33] damn [09:33] they REMOVE !! [09:33] sdollins, At first, I have had to install some 3rd party driver for him. I don't remember the name. [09:33] whats up with that new bars, pointless and i cant customize that properly [09:33] why cant get an answere ?

UInderstand the channel rules. [09:34] hey marenostrum [09:34] sdollins, good news for his problem. So maybe when I upgrade him there won't be such a problem. [09:34] ultraviolet if your compiling it will be libcurl4-openssl-dev [09:34] Actually... I just noticed, my wired network isn't freaking working either. [09:34] why cant get an answere ? [09:34] jack123, Yesss. [09:34] im locked now. cant configure the gui on this new version [09:34] pennnn: You cannot get an answer because you are nto asking a question. [09:34] I think I'm about to cry lol.. [09:34] MY QUESTION IS [09:34] jack123, How did you do?? [09:34] SHOULD i change to kde !!!! [09:34] on this nathy version are u allowed to move ur gui? move the bars etc? [09:34] i am done with ubuntu its not working and it messed up my win boots are well [09:34] genewitch: you mean I should move the iso file to a USB flash memroy and then mount it? [09:34] i asked 3 hours ago [09:35] as well* [09:35] pennnn: Nobody can make thew decision for you. Have you tried it out? [09:35] xs3ns3, login to ubuntu classic if you wish to go back to gnome 2 desktop [09:35] i got background only after upgrade please help [09:35] herol3oy: on the ubuntu website if you click "get ubuntu" it says "use usb - show me how" === gh is now known as Guest84680 [09:35] Starminn: i dont like unity and gnome 3. and i wont get into trouble with any ppas in 11.10 [09:35] pennnn: nobody can answer that. its like "should i go fishing?", your decision [09:35] 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] i think im in ubuntu classic since the laptop at start pointed me that cant run unity so im running on classic [09:35] pennnn: Log in with Ubuntu Classic as the session then.... [09:35] !classic | xs3ns3 [09:35] 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] don't go fishing, the weather's not good for it [09:36] jack123, Sorry to hear that. I wish I were near you. Isn't there someone near you who can help? [09:36] 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] lspci shows it as an Ethernet controller, but does not show in ifconfig [09:36] maedox.: there is no classical in 11.10 ! [09:36] pennnn: 11.10 is still 6 months away. [09:36] pennnn: this is ubuntu not ubuntu+1 [09:36] xs3ns3: i think that's the netbook desktop [09:36] nope [09:36] 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] xs3ns3: at least, they looked the same to me [09:36] yes but i have a work shop here and the workers [09:36] I think maybe telling him they were removing it 11.10 was a bad idea xd [09:36] maedox: #ubuntu_1 is invitation-only for now [09:36] it in* [09:36] i cant say there, OH today, stop gnome, now unity [09:36] gonna check that....... thks [09:37] it must be planned [09:37] long time before [09:37] daxroc: true, but i'm on an Aton N455.. and Pinetrail IGP.. my drivers work out of the kernel! [09:37] 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] s [09:37] 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] marenostrum how to remove ubuntu boot information from windows boot [09:37] genewitch: Actually I have got the iso files! I just want to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.4 without any downloding packages? [09:38] sjuax you need to make sure the vm has the same mac [09:38] hello is here someone from czech please pm me short thx (sorry for off topic) [09:38] genewitch: i just mounted the iso file and run this " gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade" [09:38] herol3oy: that's not possible, even with the alternate install cd. you still need a network [09:38] 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] 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] pennnn: Adding the Gnome PPA shouldn't be a problem if that's what you're asking [09:38] sure [09:38] how to do that [09:38] * vibhav is ready to help others! [09:38] genewitch: no anyother way? [09:38] maedox: yes but i want gnome 2 [09:38] pennnn: That's because Canonical does not support Gnome3. All other distros do, though. [09:39] 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] pennnn: You could try Xubuntu. Very similar to Gnome 2 [09:39] * vibhav is ready to help others! [09:39] 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] I tried to use Xubuntu but missed some stuff :( [09:39] Even Ambiance lol [09:39] pennnn you want to use gnome 2 in ubuntu 11.04? [09:39] does ubuntu have an issue booting past the 1TB mark? [09:39] Is unity not a bastadisation of gnome3 ? [09:39] vibhav [09:39] pennnn you want to use gnome 2 in ubuntu 11.04 [09:39] i want use !! gnome 2 in 11.10 [09:39] jack123, have a look here: http://expertester.wordpress.com/2008/07/27/how-to-remove-ubuntu-boot-loader-xp-and-vista/ [09:39] thanks for pointing me out to log out and relog on classic, helped me, was about to install 10 again... [09:39] 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. [09:40] pennnn yes? [09:40] vibhav: ^ [09:40] yes vibhav [09:40] daxroc, unity is a shell for gnome 2, gnome-shell is a shell for gnome 3 [09:40] pennnn in the login session chose Ubuntu Classic where Ubuntu is written [09:40] xs3ns3, no problem [09:40] Psychobudgie: very gnome shell like tho [09:40] vibhav 11.10 hasnt got it !!!! [09:40] +karma hehe [09:40] xs3ns3, they don't exactly make it obvious [09:40] pennnn: /j +ubuntu+1 to discuss 11.10 [09:40] jack123, This is better, it doesn't need Win CD: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=180607 [09:40] vibhav: No, it's about 11.10 that he's freaking out about because 11.10 won't have "Classic Gnome" [09:40] daxroc, it's nothing like gnome-shell [09:41] llutz: hehe [09:41] i cant believe it ANYBody says crap [09:41] really [09:41] llutz: +i [09:41] llutz: It's invitation-only. [09:41] daxroc, I'm using gnome 3 and gnome-shell from the ppa here [09:41] the one say i should go ubuntu+1 but its invite [09:41] 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] do people not know what LTS is? [09:41] the one say something about 11.04 [09:41] Starminn: its offtopic HERE [09:41] 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] !lts | Herbs [09:41] 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] Ive been using ubuntu for about a week been a Linux user for longer [09:42] Psychobudgie: my bad , been a while from when I tested last [09:42] jack123: do http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p18.html#MbrFix.exe and after that you can remove ubuntu [09:42] pennnn I am too angry [09:42] 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] pennnn perhaps you could install it [09:42] wqas 6.10 the last LTS before lucid? [09:42] daxroc, imo, and this is my opinion, unity isn't fit to lace gnome 3's rather lovely shoes [09:42] vibhav: yes but if its possible, my question: is it safe ? [09:42] pennnn might be [09:43] kde sucks if you want to change desktop try xfce [09:43] vibhav: because ppa are very incompatibl e [09:43] genewitch: 8.04 [09:43] zounds. [09:43] cloud out! [09:43] 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. [09:44] * Kasztan85 kasztan85 [09:44] dsf [09:44] bgoldsmith: "Linux login process" should give some first hints [09:44] Starminn can i ask you something [09:44] Starminn do you use gnome ? [09:44] 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] Do you have a second machine? [09:44] 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] bgolsmith it looks in /boot for the kernel image basically [09:45] jack123, Dou you have a 2nd machine near you? [09:45] Starminn, okay last question why dont you want to use 11.04 [09:45] nope i dont have [09:46] pennnn I hope that doesnt happen [09:46] 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] 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] vibhav: do you gnome usee too [09:46] buenas noches [09:46] o buenos dias [09:46] ok marenostrum [09:47] suggest me a good linux distro . one that hopefully works lol [09:47] disculpen la molestia pero me podrian ayudar con un problemita que tengo.._ [09:47] !es | Danielq [09:47] Danielq: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

And you may try, fedora. [09:48] jack123 stick to what works for you then learn Linux more then decide [09:48] vibhav: Gnome3 in 11.04, right? [09:49] :( [09:49] how do i register?

[09:49] 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] linux mint its also a good n stable distro [09:50] how about suse.? [09:50] debain [09:50] linux mint is shit [09:50] !other [09:50] how is mandriva.?

I'm looking at the kernel sources [09:51] nothing to do with the kernel [09:51] found mint user frienly (gnome mint) [09:51] 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. [09:52] 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] Does anyone know how to make nautilus not launch on inserting a USB stick?

[09:54] i dont like unity. i like gnome 3, gnome 2, kde xfce [09:54] what do you recommend ? [09:54] anyone know how to send emails anonymously via evolution or any other linux mail program [09:54] gnome2 [09:54] methed why do you want to do that [09:54] dont tell him guys [09:54] methedman you want to spam no email prog wil let you telnet will [09:54] i dont like unity. i like gnome 3, gnome 2, kde xfce [09:55] what do you recommend ? [09:55] Anything sister [09:55] herbs: i don't want to spam [09:55] MethedMan: I imagine most modern mail program will allow you to use a proxy. [09:55] jack123: lets just say i am part of an investigation [09:55] You probably won't find many proxies that allow sending mail. [09:55] or let just say you are a terrorist [09:55] Why? [09:55] sdollins: recommend me to change to kde or gnome2 ? [09:55] thats fun [09:56] jack123: a dumb terrorist... [09:56] ok ok [09:56] jack123: i can send through gmail anonymously [09:56] tv = mass control [09:56] jack123: i am lazy and want to use "evolution" or some mail program [09:56] why would any 1 want to do that.? [09:56] lol send through qmail ann [09:56] anon [09:56] sdollins: recommend me to change to kde or gnome2 ? [09:57] pennnn: That's not really something you can recommend ._. [09:57] xs3ns3, yeah i have double checked and still... [09:57] pennnn: why don't you try them and see which one you like? [09:57] i tried [09:57] But i am on 11.04 [09:57] then why are you asking here [09:57] pennnn: And which do you like? [09:57] well [09:57] no one give a damn about what DE you use [09:57] ok sister i understand [09:57] llutz: most terrorist are pretty stupid eh, like the underwear bomber. [09:57] 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] 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] gnome 3 is really good usuable [09:57] joined #ubuntu-ko [09:58] but kde is faster, to find things and so [09:58] ok sister thanks [09:58] jack123, Do you have many critical unbackuped data on your Windows partition? [09:58] kde is faster than gnome? [09:58] invernizzi: what if i send it through tor with namoroka? [09:58] methedman spamming aint easy :) [09:58] yes definately [09:58] guschtel lets see if theres any wise person around who can give u a better feed ^^ [09:58] i dont want to mess my windows [09:58] 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 [09:59] jack123, I see. [09:59] gnome 3 is really good usuable [09:59] but kde is faster, to find things and so [09:59] i have adobe [09:59] I'm about ready to switch to Windows :( [09:59] i have vega pro [09:59] methedman then encrypt your messages [09:59] 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] it's in the repos [09:59] tor ? [09:59] If something breaks then, I can just make Dell fix it :D! [09:59] hmm [10:00] u can use tor + encrypt? [10:00] gnome 3 is really good usuable [10:00] how to make bootable usb drive from ubuntu for windows 7 [10:00] but kde is faster, to find things and so [10:00] pennnn: stop spamming [10:00] invernizzI: downloading now. how do i use it [10:00] marenostrum: It seems I've /fixed/ it or it's just cooperating for more than 1 reboot. [10:00] theres a man for everything [10:00] MethedMan, mixmaster strips metadata from emails and forwards the email from server to server to delay it and make it untraceable [10:00] As for how? I have no idea but it is apparently working. [10:01] hes a spammer dont advise him [10:01] does anyone know [10:01] herbs: not a spammer [10:01] 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] sdollins, Nice to hear. :) [10:01] marenostrum i have installed Libre Office..its much better than openoffice [10:01] herbs: troll somewhere else please [10:01] I bet I'm annoying the piss out of people with pidgin signing in and out xd [10:01] I have asked in #ubuntu-server. No answers. Can you guys help me?

[10:02] MethedMan, tell me which options are there [10:02] herbs: i do not answer to you, and did not appreciate your incorrect assessment [10:03] 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.

Again, I work exaclty on malware and spam [10:04] !please | pennnn [10:04] pennnn: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [10:04] i know i asked [10:04] herbs, better prove hes a spammer otherwise hes not, ok?

[10:07] MethedMan, seen [10:07] sdollins: it is really the last question !! [10:07] sdollins: but i want gnome 2! but there are not any possilbilites are there ? [10:07] 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. [10:08] * syrinx_ facepalms, i'm outta here [10:08] ok thanks [10:08] pennnn: Your question has been answered. [10:08] pennnn: You're welcome.

I can't get anything from loopback ping [10:12] sdollins: I am waiting a month before upgrading, at which point I'll use Gnome3 [10:12] ubuntu is all good because you decide to use the none lts thats your issue [10:13] Dark_Star1: Did u try a bridged connection? [10:13] Herbs: No one said anything negative about Ubuntu. [10:13] Everytime I reboot 1 of 2 things happens: Wifi doesn't work or applets fail like crazy [10:13] I'm starting to really dislike Ubuntu. :( [10:14] what about it? [10:14] Not using LTS has nothing to do with that. [10:14] need help guys http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1747052 [10:14] why does it not you expect something to work perfect and its not lts [10:14] I don't think expecting a normal release to be stable is absurd. [10:15] Im a slackware user who runs red hat/fedora/centOs based servers [10:15] Herbs: Oh, I'm sorry. I thought he meant the trolls in this channel. [10:15] Herbs: You're right. I'm wrong. :) [10:17] 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] fair enough guys looks like I got ubuntu wrong! [10:17] I would like to know what most of you might consider the top five photo editors to use on Ubuntu [10:18] Herbs, Why do you say so? [10:18] Push: Is it possible to "blacklist" an application from the global menu? In my case I want to exclude Gimp from it. [10:18] because the admin said [10:19] Me too! [10:19] marenostrum: I agree with you about bugs,but in lts releases focus is on stability [10:19] well marenostrum I was wrong. Wifi is still broken. I've given on up on fixing it. It's freaking 4:20 AM :/ [10:19] d-snake: you can deselect it in the menu editor & it won't show up in the menus [10:19] !wifi | sdollins [10:19] sdollins: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:19] natty's epiphany is incredibly crashy :-( [10:20] I have a KWorld TV tuner that works perfectly in Windows 7.

It's connected to a USB port [10:20] tic^: really not neded. [10:20] needed* [10:20] is it possible to "blacklist" application from the global menu? In my case I wan't exclude Gimp [10:20] ! opression | ubottu [10:20] sdollins, I see. fresh install! [10:20] I have been using Gimp for years and find that I can do pretty much everything that is needed, or at least accdording to my needs. [10:21] I'm actually not sure if I will install Ubuntu. [10:21] help guys [10:21] siddhantchd: ask [10:21] Chipzzz: I don't mean the Unity Menu. I meant the global menu in the panel. I don't want to have main menu of gimp (just gimp) in the panel [10:21] siddhantchd: i will try my best [10:22] genupulas http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1747052 [10:22] my usb 3.0 port doesn't work in ubuntu, how can i fix this? [10:22] thegoodcushion, lsusb will tell if it's connected [10:22] maheanuu, I, too, use just GIMP. I do many things with it. But I'm not a professinal and I even don't know 90 % of it maybe. But I can do pretty much things witjh it. Without GIMP life would be really hard for me. [10:23] VanDyke: I have Novatek and Afatech. Do they sound like TV tuners? There's also a mouse, which I recognize [10:23] sdollins: I'm running 10.04 LTS 64bit on a dell 64bit desktop and EVERYTHING works, including sound and youtube. A stable setup can be done. [10:23] sdollins, What's in your mind? Alternative? [10:23] marenostrum you mean gimp isnt in the repos? You can still install it you know? [10:23] siddhantchd: oops i am failed [10:23] thegoodcushion, no idea [10:23] VanDyke: google seems to indicate that Afatech is the chipset in the tuner [10:23] 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] genupulas hmm [10:24] sdollins: I hear you bro [10:24] anyone you knw who can help [10:24] 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] ok [10:24] At the moment, I'm about ready to switch to Windows. [10:24] thegoodcushion: Not necessarily installing the whole distro -- but maybe downloading what packages it has by default. [10:24] sdollins, stop trolling :P [10:24] I'm not :( [10:24] sdollins: then you can try fedora with gnome3 [10:24] 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. [10:25] sdollins, install ubuntu 10.10 and be done with it. Works awesome [10:25] 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: why not just use the LTS? :P [10:25] nice tomeet you guys bye [10:25] hi [10:25] zvacet: I don't really like Gnome3 either. [10:25] Im going now but just to free you ubuntu users sudo passwd root and set new password [10:25] tuxx-: because that's just a temporary fix. [10:25] Herbs: Don't. [10:25] Xfce is missing some stuff I want. KDE is well not for me. [10:25] and then remove that rediculous all in sudo whats the diff lol [10:26] sdollins: if you don't like unity and don't want to switch you seem to be at an impasse [10:26] I'm happy with gnome2 :( [10:26] Just switched to Unity - how do I configure the number and layout of workspaces? [10:26] Herbs: that's a stupid idea. just leave. [10:26] lol [10:26] well, i've had it with you little girls bitching about window managers. ktnx :-P [10:26] sdollins: did you tried e17 it may be not perfect but eye candy and customizable [10:27] 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] Never even heard of it, is it new? [10:27] Xfce is okay I guess. [10:27] ciphergoth: just right click in the worspace switcher in the bottom panel. there you can configure the rows and cols [10:27] just install Windows ME. You'll be happy, I promise. [10:27] Starminn: give over, it's not deprecated [10:27] it's the most popular Linux GUI [10:27] I installed xubuntu on an old laptop and i didn't find it horrible but it's missing stuff :( [10:28] thegoodcushion: Except that Gnome does not support it anymore. Cacnonical does. [10:28] 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] 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] thegoodcushion: If I understand correctly, anyway. [10:28] sdollins: no it's not new you can find distros using it [10:28] I work in IT and at the end of the day I don't want to fight with my computers :( [10:28] okay [10:28] I have an internal disk, and an external backup disk (cloned with dd). I must restore one lvm logical volume. When having both disks connected, lvm says, it detects a duplicate, only allows one of them to be active. Is there a trick to rename one of them, so I can have both volume groups / logical volumes active at the same time? [10:28] marenostrum: You can also use Gnome3 [10:28] gnome ftw [10:29] is it in a PPA or something? [10:29] Herbs: +1 [10:29] thegoodcushion: Is what in a PPA? === denny- is now known as denny [10:29] Starminn: GNOME 3 [10:29] (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] for Ubuntu 10.04 or 11.04 [10:29] 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] Starminn, You mean from ppa. First I want to experience Unity. Then, I'll give it a try. [10:29] DocPlatypus: I figure there will be "Gubuntu". [10:30] DocPlatypus: honestly, my next distro will be debian or Fedora [10:30] kaie did you try an fsck [10:30] I switched to Ubuntu *from* Debian. [10:30] marenostrum: Well, Gnome3 breaks Unity so you can't exactly "revert" [10:30] sdollins: and yes, I'm sure the GNOME fanboys will come up with a GNOME Ubuntu [10:30] sdollins, no, it's gonna be Clabuntu [10:30] Fedora 15 will be sporting GNOME3 so that's an option. [10:30] Herbs, yes. a large initial portion of the disk now contains garbage data. no repair possible. I need to restore my backup [10:30] and I honestly don't give a damn if I break Unity. [10:30] 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] whoever came up with Unity was on heavy crack [10:30] 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. [10:31] DocPlatypus: I agree. Dirst thing I'll do. ;) [10:31] marenostrum, works fine [10:31] Since installing 10.04 I've been pleasantly surprised at the lack of daily updates [10:31] Is there a way to replace the 'view photos' shortcut in the launcher with something else? [10:31] I created a shared directory with swat. I created it by accessing swat http server with root user (if I access with myuser I cannot create a share, therefore I used root). Now: I can make the shared resource accessible to all, without a password. How can I configure it in order to be accessible only for the users which have permissions to the directory, so that remote login is required? [10:31] #ubuntu-it [10:31] 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] well [10:31] Out of curiosity, was there any user input on whether Unity was wanted? [10:31] I kept 9.10 until I needed a newer NtEd. [10:32] 9.10 has 1.5.x, 10.04 LTS has 1.9.x [10:32] I don't keep up with things. I just use what works and it's been Ubuntu [up until now]. [10:32] nted? [10:32] what's that [10:32] sdollins: I think the choice of GUI can change your feel for the system. I hate KDE, love GNOME [10:32] 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] ciphergoth: I don't think you can change the number of work spaces on 11.04. [10:33] Starminn: they won't be the largest distro if people hate Unity [10:33] sdollins: But that's not a topic for discussion here. [10:33] selig5: I refuse to believe that the Unity team are that stupid [10:33] 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] thegoodcushion: Exactly. Currently they are. Only time will tell if it's continued. [10:33] ciphergoth: You use Natty with Unity? Then open a terminal > type in [10:33] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [10:33] 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] 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] d-snake: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:33] Starminn: I remember when Red Hat was the most popular. Then they went commercial... [10:33] how can I open a backup lvm volume group at the same time as the original one? [10:34] Well 10.10 worked fine :P [10:34] thegoodcushion: Very true. [10:34] d-snake - that's it! Thanks! [10:34] !no [10:34] Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [10:34] marenostrum: Well, I don't know Fedora very well,but Fedora with Gnome3 LiveCD was quite nice. http://www.gnome3.org/ [10:34] I suppose I shall backup my data and reinstall 11.04. [10:34] If that fails, I will rage and likely install Windows. [10:35] Now... to find a freaking DVD. [10:35] ciphergoth: No problem :-) [10:35] !gb [10:35] Join us for a discussion using the Queen's English in #ubuntu-uk [10:35] sdollins: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE... Plus, there's Ubuntu with Gnome2, Ubuntu with Gnome3, Ubuntu with KDE, Ubuntu with Unity, not to mention AwesomeWM, e17... [10:35] sdollins: Ah yes, and Linux Mint, ElementaryOS... [10:35] Starminn, Nowadays to try Gnome3 the best way seems to be Fedora -from live CD or install. [10:35] d-snake: had got as far as looking through compiz config but didn't think to try "General Options". Thanks agani! [10:35] sdollins: so keep using it :) === sdollins is now known as AG_Scott [10:36] really should be configurable through right click - there's a bug for it http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/26889/ [10:36] hi [10:36] Starminn, But I'll just try. My main OS is Ubuntu. ubuntu Natty. [10:37] ciphergoth: in the old ubuntu (or Ubuntu Classic) you can do it as I described at first [10:37] join/ #ubuntu-it [10:37] Why are you posting foreign language channels here? [10:37] Starminn, Trying is something else but I made my mind that Natty Narwhal is OK for me for the next 6 months. [10:37] Backing up my home directory should keep just about everything I need yes? [10:37] 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] *nix [10:37] marenostrum: Alright. [10:37] Eh it'll work. [10:37] ciphergoth: Unity is not complete at the moment. It is very new software [10:38] d-snake: yeah, that's what I was used to. [10:38] irc.whatnet.org [10:38] d-snake: I take it the move to Unity this early is to get a lot of developer eyes on it then? [10:38] Am not too unhappy yet, will stick with it for a bit longer [10:39] Starminn, I noted the reversal process issue. Natty instal is very new now. I may try PPAs Gnome3 today and tomorrow and then make a fresh Natty install. :) [10:39] what's the difference between mutt and mixmaster. FYI only my 2nd week on IRC === matt_ is now known as Guest47058 [10:40] Starminn, I don't advice anybody to try Gnome 3 from PPA on a production machine. That will be a Russian roulette. :) [10:40] hey i got a question if anyone can help me figure it out [10:40] is there something like mutt and mixmaster for emacs? [10:40] Yikes. My home directory is 23GB lol... [10:40] I don't even keep files there :/ [10:40] ciphergoth: Well, I think Unity is not perfect in the moment, but I'm sure it becomes much better in next months.

[11:40] I encrypt the full lvm ;) [11:40] bullgard4: I think is GNOME, I am new in Ubuntu. [11:40] is there a separate chat channel for ubuntu server?

Do you see a few icons to the right of your screen image? [11:43] iceroot, don't know [11:43] bullgard4: I only see icons to the left of my screen [11:44] js__: I made a mistake. I meant "to the left". -- So you are using "Unity" as your graphical user interface. [11:44] bullgard4: I am fresh install Ubuntu 11.04, so I think it is Unity [11:44] iceroot, /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/cryptroot in initramfs looks good [11:44] but it stay locked in here [11:45] js__: Yes. -- I cannot help you as I do not use Unity myself. -- Good luck with Ubuntu!

[11:49] wolfy_: What is a "channel with cc"? [11:49] js__, logout and from the longin screen you can switch to ubuntu classic [11:49] 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? [11:50] 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] bullgard4, irc credit card channel [11:50] wolfy_: thanks [11:50] mgj: its an option in compiz-settings-manager [11:51] there you can verify the cc, route to bank, pin number, email password and dirty h0ax like that [11:51] marenostrum: It is a default terminal, last time when I was using Ubuntu 10.10 also faced a same problem [11:51] 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. [11:52] stimpie, thank you [11:52] js__, So its definetely not related with Unity. But what? Lets google some. [11:52] bullgard4: thanks [11:53] marenostrum: I have been googled, but no result. I think no one have face this kind of problem [11:53] hey, can anyone tell me the most appropriate alternative of 'wordweb', a thesaurus software for ubuntu :? [11:53] kryl: is the modul loaded? (lsmod) [11:53] mgj: to be more precise its at 'general options'-> 'Desktop size' [11:54] js__, Some did. Would you please wait for me for a couple of minutes? [11:54] marenostrum: Yes. Are you found a solution? === blueghost is now known as LoveMikeMao [11:55] js__, Not sure about the solution but found something similar. 3 minutes.

[11:57] just get a white screen [11:57] bullgard4: have you used wordweb, i need a software like it in Linux [11:58] Dan_E: firefox? using unity?

[11:59] botcity: No but I have install scim [11:59] Dan_E: is your desktop iphone like? if not then you're probably not using unity [11:59] marenostrum: Haven yet, but I think the link that you provided help a lot. Thank you very much [12:00] js__, Did you make a fresh install or Web upgarade? Did you make changes to Compiz? [12:00] my desktop has the dock on the left side with icons [12:01] marenostrum: I am fresh install Ubuntu 11.04, but i didn't change to Compiz [12:01] natty [12:02] js__, I see. So I can't say anything why you have the problem and why I don't. Wish luck. [12:02] 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 === eugen_ is now known as Guest27551 [12:03] foxfire 401 [12:04] marenostrum: At least I have a hint about it. [12:05] sorry firefox 4.0.1 === root is now known as Guest27523 [12:06] Just tried a do-release-upgrade on a 10.10 server I run and had it completely fail right at the start: http://pastebin.com/UGXGsRGM [12:06] hello, i neeed healp with USB wireless adapter TP-LINK TL-WN727N [12:06] i have ubuntu 11.04 [12:06] how do I get the latest Flash? [12:07] the only think other than the backtrace in that pastebin I can see in the log files is: lspci failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory [12:07] Dan_E: you can't through normal methods, you have to wait for ubuntu/canonical to brand and test then release it [12:08] thank you very much. === LoveMikeMao is now known as LoveMichaelMikeM [12:08] I'm going to try and install pciutils on it and try again === LoveMichaelMikeM is now known as LoveMichaelMao [12:08] Dan_E: so you pretty much have to wait, or try other browsers to see if it works - then you'll confirm that its flash [12:10] marenostrum: My problem solved. I remove scim package and restart PC. [12:10] yeah installing pciutils fixed do-release-upgrade [12:10] botcity: Is scim problem. now solved [12:11] thanks again!! [12:11] hello [12:12] a short question [12:12] hello [12:12] whats jockey-backend ? [12:12] 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] its for driver [12:13] when i tried to install anything it says updating cache and waiting for jockey backend to exit but nothing happens [12:13] !package jockey-backend [12:13] !find jockey-backend [12:13] File jockey-backend found in jockey-common [12:14] hello [12:14] how do i sort it out ? [12:14] a short question [12:14] How does MetaCity change if I assert in gconf-editor: apps->metacity->general->compositing_manager? (I did read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing) [12:15] !ask | PeterZerneche [12:15] 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] 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. [12:16] i cant get rid of that jockey-backend to exit ? [12:17] try fluxbox [12:17] 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. [12:18] ok thanks [12:18] 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 [12:19] how do I install Googlizer please [12:19] Does anyone know of an indicator applet (right term?) for pidgin? [12:19] enlightment 17 is pretty good, but it haves cuople bugs [12:20] AG_Scott: Yes. In GNOME 2 it is the second from the right. A letter envelope symbol [12:20] I don't think I called it correctly then lol [12:20] whats Dependency is not satisfiable: libnspr4-0d (>= 4.7.1) [12:20] I mean something like the envelope. [12:21] Kind of like dropbox has? [12:21] !prefix | AG_Scott [12:21] AG_Scott: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [12:22] hey, i got a question. I removed and installed evolution. Now is my entry in the message applet for all email actions deleted. How can I add this entry again? In Unity, 11.04. [12:23] stephan: one second [12:23] i have been searching launchpad for the last 20 minutes in order to find some functionality to report a bug, am i to stoopid to find it or are they too stoopid to place a button??? [12:23] stephan: try install evolution-indicator I actually just removed it :D [12:24] is there a way to untar a file.tar.gz where the resulting file is not nested, but in a specified directory? Using 'tar -zxvf file.tar.gz ./path/to/file/wanted_file' results in the file nested in the parent dir [12:24] AG_Scott: This works, thank you very much :) [12:25] :) [12:25] kapu: yes :D [12:25] kapu: try -C [12:25] Aginor: ok [12:26] how can I get rid of everything Ubuntu One? [12:26] Aginor: thanks [12:26] kapu: success? [12:26] how to get rid of that jockey-backend ? [12:26] vanguard: open software center and search ubuntu one [12:27] Hello folks. [12:28] I'm having problems booting the Ubuntu 11.04 CD. Modprobe is returning an error with an exit status of 0x0009 [12:29] GeorgeJ: use pendrive [12:29] AG_Scott: I guess I will have to restart? [12:29] Aginor: no, but was trying to find capital c in man tar' [12:29] arsenall_: Same issue [12:29] I dun know [12:29] how do you report a bug on launchpad? [12:29] I removed it earlier and restarted. [12:29] Might as well I guess. [12:30] ...Hello? [12:30] hi [12:30] kapu: use / to search :D [12:31] kapu: also, you might have more luck with "info tar" [12:31] 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] kapu: tar -C targetdir -xf sourcefile [12:31] kapu: add flags as needed, for example j or z and or v [12:34] hey there, how do i add an item to the menu in ubuntu 11.04 ? [12:35] 'tar -zxvf file.tar.gz ./path/to/file/wanted_file' -C ./wanted_file results in something almost, but not entirely unlike joy [12:35] pvh_sa: You mean the left side 'launcher' ? [12:35] remoteCTRL1: First you will need an account in Launchpad. [12:35] 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] 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] 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. [12:36] 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] prov: not that i have ever seen. [12:36] Dr_Willis: How can it be done? [12:36] Dr_Willis: Do I need a special distro? [12:36] 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] 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. [12:37] GeorgeJ: There are more than one provision. You need to install a trace program. You need to install the necessary DEB packages. [12:37] 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] Is there, or was there, a Rehan here.... [12:37] prov: you could perhaps remaster your own. but im not sure what rules you would change for the mount options. [12:37] Dr_Willis: Not even forensics distros. [12:38] remoteCTRL1: You can probably re-activate it. [12:38] prov: go try them and see. theres many of that type out. I never use them. [12:38] bullgard4: beg your pardon? [12:38] will wubi work with windows 7 and ubuntu 11.4? [12:38] prov: you could always use a disrto that has no auto-mounting feature/settings at all. [12:38] 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. [12:39] bullgard4: it is not deactivated, i just need to report a bug without using ubuntu onboard means but by using launchpad only [12:39] 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] +u [12:39] GeorgeJ: you could try the 'nomodeset' option at boot time. I have to do that for many of my nvidia systems === XLV_ is now known as XLV [12:41] Dr_Willis: Thank you very much, that seems to fix the issue. However , will this cause me any further problems? [12:41] bullgard4: I DO HAVE A WORKING ACCOUNT ON LAUNCHPAD, i need to REPORT A BUG, not to CREATE AN ACCOUNT! so far so clear? ;) [12:41] kapu: why are you having the path there twice? [12:41] How can I find out the version of slapd running? [12:41] Aginor: After failing a few times, i thought i'd ask. lets say you want some file extracted to the current directory from baz.tar.gz where inside BAZ.tar.gz the location of file is ./foo/bar/baz [12:41] kapu: 'tar -zxvf file.tar.gz -C ./path/to/file/wanted_file' [12:42] hi all [12:42] kapu: oh, I didn't realise you're trying to extract only one file from the archive [12:42] remoteCTRL1: Log in to Launchpad. Go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ [12:42] bullgard4: i am logged in [12:42] remoteCTRL1: Select the affected DEB program package. [12:42] Aginor: yes, only one file [12:43] GeorgeJ: i use nomodeset. untill i get the nvidia drivers installed. [12:43] which is supposedly ubiquity, where do i select it? [12:43] kapu: so what is not working with the command you pasted? [12:43] Dr_Willis: Awesome, thanks for the help [12:44] bullgard4: which is supposedly ubiquity, where do i select it? [12:44] kapu: I'd also try to prepend -C [12:44] Aginor: ok [12:44] Is anyone using the "classic desktop" on a non-upgraded install and can test something for me? [12:44] remoteCTRL1: They have there a link "Read our guide or take a tour.) [12:45] hello guys, I'm doing ubuntu netboot so I compile kernel by hand. But after it starts booting I see just clear display with only flashing cursor in text mode [12:45] bullgard4: i am aware of that but there is no "report a bug" button in there neither ;) [12:45] I'm having a problem with firefox, can anyone help me? [12:45] scrolling is painfully slow on some pages [12:45] I can switch to tty1, and the last string tells me init: unreadahead main process (68) terminated with status 5 [12:46] remoteCTRL1: I did not say "button" but "link". [12:46] danst_: i think thats a common message. I see some ureadahead messages on several of my machines. [12:46] 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... [12:47] remoteCTRL1 AFAIK you can run ubuntu-bug from the installer [12:47] unless you cannot boot of course [12:47] Dr_Willis: how do I boot ubuntu single without framebuffer text mode [12:47] I think framebuffer is the problem [12:47] can wubi be used with windows 7 and ubuntu 11.4 [12:48] DOes anyone know how to find out the version of the running openldap daemon? [12:48] slapd [12:48] bullgard4: ok so you said link not button, then please tell me where the link to report a bug is? [12:48] danst_: the text option disablesx the framebuffer and plymouth [12:48] so it's stable [12:48] danst_: its not 'single user mode' [12:48] nanomad: happen to know how? [12:48] uh [12:48] whoops, wrong channel. [12:48] how do I specify it [12:49] APPEND root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.3.241:/home/nfsroot/ubuntu ip=dhcp rw [12:49] 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] danst_: at the grub menu, edit the lines, replace quiet splash, with 'text' [12:49] remoteCTRL1, which installer are you using? alternate cd or live? [12:49] Dr_Willis: no grub menu in netboot [12:49] how do I automate the security update? [12:49] danst_: i dont do netboots. so no idea [12:49] 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] Dr_Willis: could you paste your grub.cfg please [12:49] so I grab your options for text mode [12:49] nanomad: not alternat the regular one [12:50] danst_: its a kernel option, same as quiet splash, [12:50] 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] danst_: all i do is change 'quiet splash' with 'text' when i want to. [12:50] bullgard4: you gotta be kiddn me! :D [12:50] geeez... [12:50] remoteCTRL1: See you later. [12:50] remoteCTRL1, boot the live cd and open a terminal [12:51] kapu: that unfortunately looks correct to me [12:51] now i know why this bug has been existing for versions now: how the hell would you report it? :DDD [12:51] bullgard4: thanks for your help, dude, i appreciate it! [12:51] Aginor: ok thanks for looking [12:51] kapu: and by nested, you mean that tar is preserving the whole path to the file? [12:51] nanomad: i CAN do the whole install process again and then report it... *sigh* [12:51] linux_probe: /vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=##### ro quiet nosplash >--> replace quiet nosplash with 'text' [12:52] remoteCTRL1, that's the point of it [12:52] nanomad: my gratitude also to you for your help! [12:52] Aginor: yes [12:52] remoteCTRL1, there is a way to report a bug without ubuntu-bug [12:52] nanomad: yes? [12:52] remoteCTRL1, but i can't remember which...gimme some time ;) [12:53] nanomad: hehe, sure i will yawn alittle infront of my second install attempt while the progressbar creeps its way... [12:53] Aginor: 'tar: Cannot chdir to ./boot: No such file or directoryy' [12:53] kapu: /boot not ./boot [12:53] Hey everyone [12:53] hey [12:53] remoteCTRL1, here you go [12:53] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug?no-redirect [12:54] hey zappus [12:54] remoteCTRL1: ty [12:54] im installing ubuntu 11.04 on a laptop together with win7 [12:54] remoteCTRL1, it was in the middle of the wiki page [12:54] and resizing the partitions takes like 10 min [12:54] and still going [12:54] kapu: it expects the dir to exist, look into using --strip-components [12:54] is something gone wrong [12:54] nanomad: the ubuntu bug reporting page?? [12:54] remoteCTRL1, it was in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [12:54] remoteCTRL1, middl of the page [12:55] remoteCTRL1, section Filing bugs at Launchpad.net [12:55] Aginor: ok ty again for the look [12:55] anyone can install fglrx on natty? [12:55] remoteCTRL1, but you SHOULD use ubuntu-bug, really...it gives much more "debug" information [12:55] guys? [12:56] darn, you are rigth! [12:56] apologies!! [12:56] how long does resizing of partitions take? [12:56] zappus, well...was the partition defragmented? [12:56] kapu: I'm just googling really [12:56] zappus: depends on how big and how many data on it [12:56] zappus: shrinking can take quiet a bit of time. depending on how full and big the filesystem is. [12:56] nanomad: the bug that i will report is completely independent of hardware, etc... [12:57] zappus: I find windows resizes ntfs MUCH faster then linux and the ubuntu installer does [12:57] ok [12:57] no one hre using firefox and experiencing 100% cpu usage while scrolling? It's driving me crazy :/ === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [12:57] nanomad: thanks for your help, dude!:) [12:57] oh ok [12:57] remoteCTRL1, you're welcome! [12:57] there is an option in installler "skip" [12:57] what would that do? [12:58] oh ok nvm [12:58] :P [12:58] zappus, bad things IF it is resizing the partition [12:58] it moved on [12:58] thanks for help === brandon_ is now known as mutesounds [12:58] does anyone know if wubi will work with windows 7 and ubuntu 11.4? [12:59] CoachJ: i would think it should. [12:59] CoachJ, why it shouldn't? [12:59] but i dont reccomend wubi at all. [12:59] is here anybody from czech? [12:59] i dont know i thought i saw a warning somewhere but cant find it now [13:00] Dr_Willis: what do you recomend? [13:01] arsenall_, use the installer as it is [13:02] Ubuntu, why can I no longer specify a custom program to use as my HTTP link handler in preferred programs? [13:03] GNU IceCat doesn't appear on the list [13:04] vatzec, what's the output of ls -la /usr/bin/www-browser [13:05] I have a problem with my new 11.04 install. The LiveCD booted into Unity with acceleration but now I've installed it I found myself in the old experience. How can I switch to Unity? [13:06] in gdm there's a menu on the bottom it says Ubuntu classic, change it [13:06] It current Says Ubuntu, not classic :( [13:07] is firefox part of the meta package that comes with ubuntu standard install and if so will there be any problems un-installing it ? [13:07] arsenall_: doing a normal install. [13:08] Technium: whats your video chipset? you may need to enable the 3d drivers [13:08] nanomad: "/usr/bin/www-browser -> /etc/alternatives/www-browser" [13:09] I'm using Lucid Lynx, & Firefox 3.6. Now, the picture rendering quality is so low. I noticed it today, I don't think it was before. What do I do ? [13:09] Its a new Dell Latitude 6520 with Intel and Nvidia. The additional drivers say installed but not active. [13:09] Technium, there is a button to enable it? [13:10] hi I just installed 11.04 and I have 2 xscreens.. however I only see launchers and panels on the main x screen.. how do i configure the 2nd screen [13:10] pranav, do you have a ascreenshot? [13:10] Only to remove. The phrase is "activated but not currently in use" [13:10] anyone know how to apply a patch with binary diff? I tried patch -p1 --binary < my.patch but the binary file did not show up [13:10] Technium, did you reboot? === pranav is now known as trap8 [13:10] Yes [13:11] Technium, can you provide the output of lsmod | grep nv [13:11] nanomad: its fine with other applications [13:11] nishttal, enable twin view i think [13:11] botcity, no i want to keep them seperate [13:11] "nvidia 10709116 0 " [13:11] botcity, i had the same setup with 10.10 running gnome [13:12] Technium, run in a terminal sudo nvidia-xconfig [13:13] "VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [13:13] "Device section "Default Device" must have a Driver line." [13:13] Technium, sudo mv sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:13] Technium, forget that last line [13:13] :) [13:14] I find that in 10.04 I have the su command and none of my passwords work with it. 1) Is su officially supported now? 2) Why don't my passwords work? [13:14] Technium, sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.back [13:14] nishttal, ho okay.. do you get a benefit from that set-up? [13:14] Technium, sudo nvidia-xconfig [13:14] Okay, thats is cleaner. Reboot? [13:14] thegoodcushion: try with sudo not su [13:14] yeah.. i can have 1 desktop on 1 screen and 2 on the second.. i like that setup [13:15] zvacet: yes I know but my questions still stand [13:15] Technium, if anything goes wrong just run [13:15] Technium, sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.back /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:15] Hello, how do I load the PAE kernel on my machine? [13:15] is it as simple as installing it? === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [13:15] Technium, and yes..reboot [13:15] Thanks. BRB [13:15] KrisDouglas: it is its own package. yes.. that should do it. [13:15] !pae [13:15] 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] KrisDouglas: PAE kernel is default, isn't it? [13:15] thegoodcushion: its not the default.. [13:16] apparently not in natty, thegoodcushion [13:16] i think if you install it.. it might become the default. (ive neverr eally tried it) [13:16] Dr_Willis: cirkey [13:16] crikey* [13:16] thank you Dr_Willis [13:16] How do I know how much RAM it's using? [13:16] It was the default in 10. [13:16] thegoodcushion, free -m [13:16] gnome-system-monitor or free -m [13:16] nanomad: Looks like I have 3.5 gigs [13:17] when my puter has 4 gigs installed [13:17] blimey [13:17] thegoodcushion, 32bit os? [13:17] you'd think PAE would be enabled by default [13:17] thegoodcushion, means the PAE kernel is not loaded. [13:17] nanomad: Yeah 32 bit OS on a 64 bit CPU [13:17] It should be installed by default, it's odd. [13:17] thegoodcushion, videocard? [13:17] nanomad: discrete nvidia [13:17] hi. how do i install _minimall_ set of qt4? [13:17] does anyone know if there is an issue installing gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.04 [13:18] 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] 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] thegoodcushion, on 32bit OS part of the address space is used to address devices such as the GPU === web_knows is now known as Uebi [13:18] thegoodcushion, so 3.5 gigs is normal [13:18] I think it's normal too. Windows 7 does the same thing [13:19] nishttal: build your own, or install from ppa [13:19] thegoodcushion: ive heard/seen benchmarks where the PAE kernel can be slower then the non pae kernel in some cases. [13:19] thegoodcushion, you should use a 64bit OS if you need the extra 500Mb [13:19] I use 64bit on all my machines that can do 64bit. :) [13:19] It claims here that PAE is installed by default on 10.04: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE [13:19] 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 [13:20] nishttal: you can find ppa for gnome3 but installing it will break unity so everyone say that I didn't try [13:20] opinions on pae differ as well, some say it costs up to 10% performance [13:20] Hi! :D [13:20] 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 [13:21] nishttal, please don't try gnome3 on 11.04. It will break most of the things horribly [13:21] I would think that plenty of people now have 4 gigs or more of RAM [13:21] zvacet, nanomad well unity is not working to start with [13:21] After enabling the nvidia driver it booted to a black screen.

I have a problem with my wlan connection. [13:22] Technium, do you have a laptop? [13:22] 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] Can anybody help me. [13:22] fachher, shoot!

[13:24] fachher: excess number of simultaneous connections maybe? [13:24] zvacet: I installed 10.04 on my puter with 4 Gig RAM and I don't have the PAE thing installed.

[13:27] thegoodcushion: and after installing remove one witch is not pae [13:27] zvacet: rebooting now, hang on [13:28] damn it, I shouldn't have to do this manually. Ubuntu should do it automatically [13:28] sploenni: I didn't try but maybe if you install with minimal cd you can choose what do you want to add [13:28] thegoodcushion, not everyone wants PAE [13:29] Now the PAE kernel won't work with my nvidia drivers [13:29] thegoodcushion, of course [13:29] Irani : With online proxy have you try? [13:29] nanomad: So what do I do? Run in text mode? [13:29] thegoodcushion: drivers doesn't work with kernel of course install drivers again [13:29] thegoodcushion: you may need to reinstall them. Ive never heard of any PAE/nvidia issues. but i dont use PAE. :) [13:29] zvacet: does that mean I have to do remove and install? [13:30] thegoodcushion: how did you install them last time? [13:30] Dr_Willis: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [13:30] I just did that again and it says they're already installed [13:30] thegoodcushion: odd. It should of fixed them as part of the bootup. [13:30] zvacet: what do you mean with minimal cd? i took the default desktop image and modified it. now i want to replace unity by gnome-classic (for live session as well as for installation). i just don't know where to switch it. [13:30] thegoodcushion: I will not answer graphic related questions because I know very little about that [13:30] I thouight that was the whole point of that DKMS stuff. [13:31] I'll remove and reinstall. Hang on. [13:31] thegoodcushion, you could have built the driver manually using dkms ;) [13:31] sploenni: I can not help you with that one [13:31] nanomad: Homey don't play that [13:32] Right I've booted into the LiveCD and have Unity [13:32] Technium, good [13:32] zvacet: thanks anyway. maybe someone else can...

[13:36] nishttal: theres some bugs it seems with Unity and the twinview/multi monitor support. :( [13:36] That immediately solved the issue - its the i965 driver :) Didnt realise that was accelerated enough to run unity [13:37] Technium, that's how i thought [13:37] Dr_Willis, i am not running unity [13:37] adamJ: odd. and you did an apt-get update, and upgrade just a few min ago> [13:37] 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] Technium, you cannot use the nvidia card on linux [13:37] i had no problem at all with 10.10 [13:37] Technium, unless you play with vga_switcheroo [13:37] ultra fast etc. [13:37] Dr_Willis, nanomad: is there a solution or do i have to roll back [13:37] Dr_Willis: yes [13:37] nishttal: what are you running then? [13:37] it seems to be because of the 2.6.38 kernel... if i try to boot using an older kernel its uber fast [13:38] does anyone else seem to have experienced this ?

[14:59] so there is no way to add applets to the Ubuntu panel ?? [14:59] mrcreativity: check http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html [14:59] oh...had no idea. any idea where i can get the list? [14:59] Right now, in Ubuntu 11.04 (with Unity), I have to hover over the top menu bar before the menu options appear, overlaying the title. Is there a way to get them to be there all the time, without my mouse hover? [14:59] Vhozard: theres ways to let various applets show up at the top right.. see that url i posted [14:59] mudtar: yes there is - see that url i posted.. :) [14:59] tyvm [15:00] Ah, I missed it Dr_Willis. Can you link me once more? [15:00] I find the hidding menus also very ugly [15:00] Wantign to tweak unity and do some other things that Ubuntu wont let you do by default? ---> : check http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html [15:01] thanks Dr_Willis === Guest53463 is now known as Geri [15:01] Thanks, Dr_Willis. :) [15:02] I'm running the 11.04 livecd and my wireless doesn't work [15:02] i must add that it is the server only version of the iso [15:02] I also have found several apps taht dont play nicely with the global menu. theuy just dont have any menus at all. [15:02] re: netflix: do you mean that the console connects to the VM via VNC? [15:02] 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] how might I go about diagnosing the problem? [15:02] Dr_Willis, I find that's true with Chromium. :\ [15:03] mudtar: i found it an issue with many of the simpiler programs that came with my lubuntu desktip install also. [15:03] plus it just looks sort of Ugly half the time with the title getting overwritten by the menu text in many cases. [15:03] 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] can someone please pastbin their /etc/init.d/openvpn for me... I am getting a syntax error somewhere in mine? === aknm is now known as monk [15:05] 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) [15:05] tyler_d: Why did you modify openvpn's init script? [15:05] Does anybody here have a preference at which point they install Unity 2D over 3D? [15:05] rob_p: being foolish [15:05] Can you explain more please? [15:06] vibhav, I'm just curious at which point (hardware wise) people prefer 2D over 3D [15:06] tyler_d: Well, *sometimes* that has to be done for legit reasons. I was just curious! [15:07] roasted: is it slow? use 2D, like lightning? use 3D for more bling :) [15:07] Nice Hardware = 3d or 2d [15:07] rob_p: I was trying to sort out an upstart issue; however something got borked and of course I saved it right [15:07] 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] roasted: personally i wouldn't use either, i feel that UIs like unity slow things down more [15:07] 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] is it possible to remove the ugly sidebar and replace the top-left unity button with a more traditional gnome menu? [15:07] there's a unity 3d? like the compiz cube concept on unity? [15:08] 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] buhman, choose gnome classic at login [15:08] Any idea if ubuntu will soon release patches to fix unity/other misc bugs? [15:08] 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] aeon-ltd, that is definitely not what I asked, but thanks anyway. [15:08] bazhang: but I kinda like other parts of this interface [15:08] 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] gare: if you can use it to launch a terminal, it is fine for "power users". :-) [15:08] bazhang: I just don't like the lack of a real menu and the sidebar is just too colorful [15:08] buhman, there's unity-2d , limited customisation afaik [15:08] roasted: sorry, but yeah unity's nice - in eye candy terms anyway :) [15:09] jw_: i imagione we will be getting a steady flow of patches over the next few months. :) [15:09] 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] Could someone give the value of their errorformat in vim? :set errorformat [15:09] 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 [15:10] rob_p: alternately how would I force re-install? [15:10] jw_: keep in mind you have a choice in window managers [15:10] my close, minimize, and maximize buttons are on the wrong side of the windows too [15:10] 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] 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] !controls [15:10] In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 [15:10] somehow I think ubuntu's probably made the first left-handed window manager [15:10] yeah I looked at classic, but am concerned that they will force unity in 11.10 [15:10] eekTheCat: https://gist.github.com/953393 [15:10] 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! :) [15:11] didn't know that was possible [15:11] buhman: ive seen other wms with them on the left over the years. :) not many.. but some [15:11] i have a chroot env...i have to create some hard links...my question is: the user that will use the chroot env can follow this hardlink and do some changes at the system? if i create an hardlink to /etc/resolv.conf the user can change it? is better to copy or hardlinks? mi have many chroot .... [15:11] someone read my message?^ [15:11] buhman: ive seen them up/down on the side also.. [15:11] arrgh... now i'm pissed. just upgraded? to 11 and it lost my netdrivers along the way! That machine is hanging above my treadmill, so I always maintain it via VNC. Now I need to install drivers while walking uphill?!?! grumbles [15:11] exit [15:11] Dr_Willis: what else does that? [15:11] 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. [15:12] jw_: it may just be a bit more work... [15:12] Dr_Willis: was that controls factoid meant for me? [15:12] buhman: i recall wmx doing it that way. and some other very minimal wm's [15:12] 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] buhman: ive seem WM's with no controls at all. :) [15:12] bbl [15:13] stimpie, thank you. mine seems to be a bit screwy. trying to figure out if it's an ubuntu issue or something I did. :) [15:13] I've just an ubuntu natty on my network but can't actually ping it from the other pcs using its hostname (ping does work). Any tips? [15:13] rob_p: worked like a charm, tyvm [15:13] tyler_d: welcome :) [15:13] does iphone tethering work in Natty? [15:14] sorry - iphone 4 tethering [15:14] I guess Im just real happy with 10.10 - I liked having all the eye candy which doesnt seem to work well in 11. [15:14] Guys any idea?? Can't boot with Newest Kernel after upgrading to Natty, the screen goes black and nothing happens after that. After surfing Ubuntu Forums looks like many guys are facing the same problem. So any fix yet?? [15:14] constl: add the machine to /etc/hosts, or whatever local name service you employ. [15:14] mbeierl: at least used to work in maverick, so one would suppose yes.. [15:15] what do you mean by tethering mbeierl? [15:15] multipass_: where the iphone is used as a cellular modem for the attached os. over usb [15:16] mbeierl, ah ok, not sure on that one. but on my iphone4 i can get root access and transfer music now, so much better chance [15:16] vega: it works with a PPA under maverick. I have found confirmed bug reports of it not working in natty with no recent progress so was not sure if it was a beta issue or still there [15:16] bug 717914 [15:16] Launchpad bug 717914 in linux (Ubuntu) "iphone usb internet tethering gives no ip, while bluetooth does" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/717914 [15:16] Krishnandu, you probably want to check launchpad for something like that [15:16] mbeierl: ^ [15:17] hi [15:17] hi ! is there a way when doing chmod -R to change the mod of hidden files ? [15:17] mbeierl: It seems to have broken in Natty. [15:17] Logan_: yep, that's the one. looks like that a big no, thanks! [15:17] mbeierl: ok sorry, i've only used through bluetooth [15:17] * mbeierl cancels upgrade... [15:17] mbeierl: I would add yourself to the CC list for that bug so that you can get an e-mail when it's fixed. [15:17] hi! whats the best gps software for ubuntu? [15:17] Logan_: doing that now, thanks! [15:18] !best | ubuntu-user [15:18] ubuntu-user: 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. [15:18] !gps | ubuntu-user [15:18] ubuntu-user: Street mapping and GPS navigation software available for Ubuntu includes Navit, MoNav (http://code.google.com/p/monav/), Gosmore (free vector maps from OSM), GpsDrive (GTK, raster maps, free), !GoogleEarth (Qt, proprietary vector maps, proprietary) [15:18] im just want to install my ubuntu with gps apps if anyone could suggest [15:19] every new Ubuntu release seems to have a lot of regressions. [15:19] Im using ubuntu 10.10. To upgrade to 11.04, How much data I've to download ? [15:19] awesome thnx. ya for car navigation :) [15:19] auToeXeC, depends on what you have installed. it will tell you if you try [15:19] 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) [15:20] auToeXeC, and give you a chance to abort [15:20] one more question. since i like gnome 3.2x most. how long maverick will last? [15:20] eekTheCat, Okay. I'll try. [15:21] is there a good tool to modify grub for ubuntu? [15:22] Zahrada, a text editor :-P [15:22] Well, that's the kind I hope to avoid :P [15:23] hi .. Im updated 10.10 to 11.04 and when i choose in the grub ubuntu kernel always only restart the PC. I need sombady help [15:23] hi, I have installed wine on ubuntu, if I open a text file with double click it is opened with notepad instead of gedit :( how to turn that off? [15:23] what's wrong with my wireless? http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=151486 [15:23] Dr_Willis, I don't want to uninstall Global Menu completely. I just want to make it so that it's set the menu never hides. So that I don't have to bring my cursor up there before the menu shows up. Do you know how to do that? [15:23] that seems to happen in any recent kernel [15:24] !wine | JoeA1 [15:24] JoeA1: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [15:24] Right now the window title shows constantly, and the menu doesn't come up until my cursor's there. [15:25] hi all [15:25] i have a raid controller, and two disks in RAID 1 field. How can i make sure that my Ubuntu recognizes this configuration? [15:25] Hello guys [15:26] jiarule [15:26] Great work with natty. Unity is awesome [15:26] Zahrada, nothing is jumping out at me when I search the repositories. google says a few apps exist, but there don't seem to be official ubuntu packages. [15:26] Logan_: oki [15:26] thx [15:26] Lovre: if it's a real hardware raid, ubuntu will just see it as a single scsi disk. if it's fakeraid, hilarity ensues... [15:27] Lovre: you know what chipset etc. it is? [15:27] yaaar: its a hardware raid, but shouldnt i have a raid driver? [15:27] yaaar: yes... === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [15:28] keyboard layouts broken!! new windows always imputed the active window's layout, no matter what you pick in the preferences [15:28] just upgraded to 11.04, removed unity, and installed gnome again.... my CPU is going to 100% on the compiz process now, how can I get hardware accelerated OpenGL back? [15:29] blink, logout, and change GDM to classic [15:29] i wonder what 'installing gnome again' actually installed... [15:30] OerHeks: just how old are you with a nick like that? [15:30] what is ctrl+alt f7 now? it is no longer the xwindow, it just takes me to a page that says ok? [15:30] me2 Dr_Willis [15:30] aaron_wayne: try F6 and F8 ive seen X move around [15:30] Dr_Willis, yeah, it F8 let me back into the gui, was just curious cause f7 only gives me the screen with ok [15:31] aaron_wayne: its another console but no login/tty progr is running on it. [15:31] Lovre: i mean, obviously you have to have a driver for the chipset, regardless of whether it's raid. but that's not an issue. the question is whether it's one of these "fakeraid" controllers that rely on their fancy (windows) driver to use the CPU/memory to make raid happen. that's wholly different from a real hardware card, which does all the raid stuff on its own and just presents the os... [15:31] ...with one volume [15:31] aaron_wayne: for whatever reason X moved down 1 # [15:31] bbl [15:31] keyboard layouts broken!! new windows always get the active window's layout, no matter what you pick in the options for it [15:31] how can i have official supported latest version of software center on lucid? [15:31] help [15:32] Lovre: if you have a fakeraid controller you might as well just use Linux software raid instead. but if you have a hardware controller you can just set it up however you want and linux will just see the volumes automagically [15:33] [*|NOTICE|*] STARTING JUNE 1ST, FREENODE WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU CONNECT TO IT.

[16:25] Defusal_, sh is ancient unix compatibility shell [16:25] eekTheCat, ah, why would it be like this, and more importantly, what do i need to do to install bash? [16:26] How does one disable notification area popups, or perhaps alter their behavior? [16:26] botcity: my screenshots have hwinfo --wlan for both cards [16:26] i just got my VPS and im not liking its state at all [16:26] Defusal_: bash is efault login shell. its installed y default [16:26] hi, can anyone tell me how can i limit file size for uploads in ftp server (using vsftpd)?? [16:26] Defusal_, odds are it's bash in compatibility mode... [16:26] maco: then how do i enable it by default? [16:26] Defusal_: /bun/sh is dash because its smaller. less overhead than bash on running boot scripts. things go faster [16:26] Defusal_, what does "dpkg -l bash" say? [16:27] 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] Defusal_: if you want to make /bin/sh use bash instead of dash, just change the symlink [16:27] but I have the rt2500usb Linksys USB 54G and an Atheros 9285 [16:27] eekTheCat, bash 4.1-2ubuntu3 The GNU Bourne Again SHell [16:27] Defusal_: but be warned it will make things like boot slower because bash is huge [16:27] Defusal_: bash is the default login shell. see /etc/passwd [16:27] both have kernel modules loaded and both work in kernel 2.6.32 (debian squeeze) [16:27] is possible to generate a key pair for ssh without prompting the user for info? [16:27] maco, maybe not the best idea for a VPS, how much bigger we talking? [16:28] it seems like there must have been some regression [16:28] maco, its not the default login shell on this server [16:28] im ssh'ing to a VPS, and its using dash [16:28] Defusal_, So it's installed. Changing a symlink manually like maco suggested is not the right way to change shells [16:28] Defusal_: hm then sounds like your vps provider futsed with /etc/passwd O_o -- change that back [16:28] botcity: I'm also browsing through these guides and they seem mostly completely irrelevant [16:28] eekTheCat: thats the way if you want to change /bin/sh's behaviour. but if you want to change login shells, then /etc/passwd [16:29] err [16:29] 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] anyone have experience installing postfix ? [16:29] ever since its been using this shell [16:29] eekTheCat: what is the correct way to change it then? [16:30] 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, are you on natty? [16:30] the little resize triangle at buttom right corner or all windows, is it possible to get that totally transparent? or maybe not have it at all? or outside the window? [16:30] Does anyone know how to stop the annoying screen blanking? I have tried disabling and even removing gnome-screensaver [16:30] botcity: my screenshots would suggest so; yes [16:30] Defusal_: via chsh or editing /etc/passwd directly. I suggest the former. [16:31] Defusal_, usermod -s /bin/bash Defusal_ [16:31] Defusal_, by Defusal_ i mean whatever your username is :) [16:31] botcity: http://paste.ubuntu.com/602834/ [16:31] eekTheCat, thanks [16:31] i always forget about usermod... [16:31] :) [16:32] maco, it's slightly safer that mucking about /etc/passwd :) [16:32] Should a sip ata showup with debug ccsip all? [16:32] is there any way to extract the list of installed packages from a old installation without booting it? [16:32] botcity: whenever I try to do anything with either interface I'm told "network is down" [16:32] 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] what that actually means I'm clueless [16:32] 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) [16:33] botcity: and I'm currently at a loss on how to find more useful information [16:33] pestilence: chroot in & dpkg --get-selections > file [16:33] "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] maco: good idea [16:33] thanks [16:33] 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? [16:34] 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] Does anyone know how to stop the annoying screen blanking? I have tried disabling and even removing gnome-screensaver [16:34] buhman, which laptop is it? [16:34] botcity: I'd also be willing to wager that if I grabbed ubuntu 10.04 or something to that effect, it'd probably work [16:35] botcity: Acer One 721-3574 [16:36] botcity: only two distributions have worked so far: debian squeeze, and some chromium nightly build [16:36] wizworks, don't know, but it's probably acpi related.. [16:37] botcity: opensuse 11.4 failed, debian wheezy failed, fedora 10 failed, and ubuntu 11.04 fails [16:37] wizworks, someting in /etc/acpi maybe? [16:37] 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] maco: complication...the old filesystem is mounted read-only (not by choice). where do i dump the selections? [16:38] 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] buhman, what is the output of lspci | grep -i wireless [16:38] eekTheCat: I'll check that file and see if I find something... but I disabled acpi too. [16:39] pestilence: flash drive? [16:39] 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] pestilence: or just somewhere on the live filesystem for now, then ftp it somewhere or pastebin it [16:39] maco: well i could save it to the running system if not for the chroot [16:39] pestilence: oh...once you're chrooted you cant get to running...right... can you mount a flash drive inside the chroot? [16:40] broot: then, yes it will work [16:40] hi, i have a failure following upgrade to 11.04. http://pastebin.com/L03HTmQB [16:40] hello? :) [16:40] mbeierl: thank you. :) [16:40] pestilence: or does "pastebinit" happen to be one of the things installed on there? in which case, pipe to that? [16:40] hello, does anybody know whether I can use apt-cacher for ubuntu and debian at the same time? [16:40] pestilence: possibly the chroot might have a writable /tmp? [16:40] is it possible that two packages would have the same name but different concent? [16:40] maco: afraid not. i'll try flash drive and /tmp [16:40] pestilence: yes [16:40] broot: the boot loader is actually completely independent of the release itself and can be mixed and matched [16:41] pestilence: whoops [16:41] LibreMan: yes, debian and ubuntu packages differ [16:41] botcity: http://paste.ubuntu.com/602836/ [16:41] maco: but the ubuntu ones should have "ubundu"appended if they are different no?

[16:42] 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 [16:43] Does anyone know? 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.".

[17:03] ryankirkman: 3gb [17:03] elb0w: you could try booting to the recovery console & then the failsafe video [17:03] TheRedOctober: That [17:03] ayecee not working... [17:03] TheRedOctober: That's a lot of RAM to exhaust [17:03] ran ...after dat too cant open syanptic [17:04] ryankirkman: I guess I just have too many browsertabs open, however I have 700mb swap usage (and 900mb cached)...zuper swappy [17:04] TheRedOctober: I have 2gb and rarely the swap is used [17:04] sahil: I don't understand what you mean. [17:04] TheRedOctober: does iostat show substantial load on the swap partition? [17:05] TheRedOctober: If the problem is too many browser tabs, try browsing with lynx :D [17:05] still i am unable to open synaptic.its showing same erroe [17:05] error [17:05] sahil: i'm out of ideas. [17:06] sahil, sorry I didnt see your intial post,, what is the error? [17:06] 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] is Wing available in Ubuntu ? Python IDE [17:06] botcity: thoroughly interesting... [17:06] Python IDE Wing is what I am looking for ......can I install via apt [17:06] ayecee http://paste.ubuntu.com/602859/ [17:06] ayecee [17:06] quiescens: that's why iostat lists block read and blocks written. [17:06] hi, i have a failure following upgrade to 11.04: http://pastebin.com/L03HTmQB help needed [17:06] it says it's valid ayecee [17:07] botcity: OH MY GOD! [17:07] ryankirkman: not really [17:07] 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] thevishy: I was under the impression that wing IDE was commercial, you'll likely need to check their website. [17:07] 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] sahil, I have gotten this error myself ,, apparenlty those servers are down ,, or intermitently down... and you say synaptic doesnt open? [17:07] ayecee the initial error was http://paste.ubuntu.com/602851/ [17:07] miceiken: i see. that rules out that theory then. [17:07] It has a personal edition too \ [17:08] sahil, open a terminal gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk [17:08] TheRedOctober: if the machine is performing fine, i wouldn't worry about it :-) [17:08] 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] quiescens: that was my point, yes. [17:09] hi [17:09] botcity: http://imagebin.org/151505 [17:09] ayecee ya after dat?it opened the software sources.do i need to disselect somthing?

[17:33] ActionParsnip: created a new user and tried login to gnome get the same error [17:33] sahil, not sure what it is for ,, however,, what we did ,, especially the disabling of the PPA's should have remedied this [17:33] all these may hav hapened after hot restart [17:33] pentos, But boots fine with the Previous Kernel(Last kernel of maverick update) [17:33] sahil: it sounds like there might be something wrong with the repository [17:34] When I'm going to run "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/repair", should the sdax be of my regular partition, or the one I'm currently on?

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] they are valid (the md5 hasehs match too) [17:52] 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 but I can't find a way to accept it, and finish the install proprely. [17:52] coz_, seems like working...*crosses finger* [17:52] sahil_, cool [17:53] bloodscalp: use tab then enter [17:53] miceiken, mm you might want to try either the alternate cd or the mini cd [17:53] miceiken, neither of which is a live cd [17:53] is this a live cd? [17:53] :P [17:53] ActionParsnip, omg, thank u, i feel quite stupid [17:53] coz_, ****YAPPIEEEEEEE* [17:53] LHR_crew, 10.10 with the netbook edition? [17:53] miceiken, I dont know did you download the live cd/ [17:53] miceiken: i had this, too with some server installs form CD... unsolved bug, praise the ubuntu quality assurance [17:53] sahil_, there go guy :) [17:54] hi joh28... yes... did the update as prompted... [17:54] hello [17:54] does anyone here have experience with the AMI provided by Ubuntu on Amazon? [17:54] miceiken, if you want a link to the mini cd which is only 19 megs I have it here [17:54] specifically with the new natty one [17:54] natty release [17:54] coz_: the server edition? [17:54] coz_, *shakes hand**hugs*thnx bro...i cud never had guessed the soln of the problem [17:55] LHR_crew, you sure it was not upgrade? [17:55] upgrade.. sorry... :) [17:55] 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] i am actually new to all of this.. my ex put ubuntu on my netbook [17:55] miceiken, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/mini.iso [17:55] coz_: so how does it work? download everything? [17:56] miceiken its only 19 megs and it does indeed install via the net [17:56] stefg: so it's a bug? did you solve it somehow [17:56] LHR_crew, I think you've upgraded to 11.04. On mine it gave me that prompt too. [17:56] coz_: okay, I guess i'll try [17:56] 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] instance [17:56] ? [17:56] 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] 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] joH28 yes.. it think that is the upgrade it was say it was installing... what did you do [17:56] miceiken, corrupted I meant [17:57] 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] 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] > ..check out my new secure chatsystem.. http://pastebin.com/5VJUS6rn [17:57] > ..check out my latest projects.. http://magizian.hopto.org [17:57] LHR_crew, I didn't.

[17:58] coz_, one thing :is there no global menu support for synaptic?even the new scrollbars(ayanta scrollbars or smthing) sometimes appear in synamtic and mostly no [17:58] stefg: is there some kind of option for default select?

Have somebody edid.bin file for samsung r560-bs02 or for monitor with native resolution 1650x1050_60? I have a problem when nvidia driver tries to detect EDID information from my LCD monitor. Help! [17:58] 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] like [17:59] arvut, Well yeah, but can you still suspend/hibernate on an 8GB RAM with less swap? Mine always complains swap is not sufficient. Never tried to check if there was a way around that. :) [17:59] llutz: i do not have "adobe" or "flashplugin", but i have acroread.sh :) [17:59] coz_: text install? like the default one then? :P [17:59] llutz: which i have installed yesterday :) [17:59] tomekh: sry, acroread it is, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/716008 [17:59] Ubuntu bug 716008 in Partner Packaging "strange bahavior on directory completion with bash built-in commands (dup-of: 752193)" [Undecided,Confirmed] [17:59] Ubuntu bug 752193 in acroread (Ubuntu) "Installation of the acroread package causes completion to treat directories like files with some commands" [Undecided,Confirmed] [17:59] joH28 how to downgrade?

[18:00] llutz: thanks, i'll check that bug [18:00] stefg: okay im gonna boot it up and see how it looks [18:00] !minimal [18:00] 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).

However if you have /home on a separate partition, it shouldn't be too hard. [18:01] miceiken, it is indeed 11.04 the background shoule be that purple color [18:01] no purple color here [18:01] kk cya guys later.gotta DBMS exam tommorow tc [18:01] itt looks all black to me :P [18:01] miceiken, the ONLY issue with mini iso is it cannot be used on usb [18:01] llutz: yeah, sed -i "s/_filedir/_filedir_acroread/" /etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh helped :) [18:01] miceiken, did you burn to disk/ [18:01] ?? [18:01] 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] coz_: Yes it can.

Does this thing log anywhere? [18:03] Jordan_U, ok I will try that,, it certainly will be an advantage :) [18:03] coz_: all the specifics come later, right? [18:03] is there a way to get tranparent windows in Natty? [18:03] I pressed install instead of command-line install [18:03] :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.

[18:06] francesc1: I did on my server, and it ended in a disaster because I didnt do it properly [18:06] For example, I have an SATA HD but it shows up as /dev/sda, not /dev/hda [18:06] francesc1: Many, do you have a support question? [18:06] francesc1: do the do-release-upgrade! :) [18:07] oh, and PM me the answer, as I'm just going to dinner. Thanks! [18:07] !libata === mang0 is now known as mang0|OUT [18:07] oops === mang0|OUT is now known as mang0 [18:07] is there a way to get tranparent windows in Natty? i want to be able to see through any windows i have up [18:07] miceiken: thats what ii am doing now.. normally i just do a fresh install ... thought i d give this a try... hopefully all goes well === mang0 is now known as mang0|NOMMIN [18:07] Guys, has anyone EDID.bin file for LCD monitor with native resolution 1650x1050_60? [18:07] francesc1: I did a sources.list update, then ran normal apt-get upgrade etc [18:08] bubu: this has a link to it: http://www.hatmaandnovi.com/1/post/2010/7/how-to-install-nvidia-g210m-driver-and-internal-mic-on-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala-and-sony-vaio-vpccw18fj.html [18:08] well, it fucked everything up [18:08] bubu: please don't repeat that often, it achieves very little [18:08] ActionParsnip: thanks [18:08] ActionParsnip: ok === pkkm_ is now known as pkkm [18:08] Okay, new question: I have 2 harddrives, now the mini installer probably cleans out the one I selected, right? But the other one I want to format aswell, how do I go about to do this? [18:08] blargg: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks [18:09] What does the 'd' stand for in /etc/init.d and conf.d? [18:09] can i get some gadgets for my desktop in 11.04? [18:09] pkkm: config-DIR [18:09] stefg: I've upgraded on other computers (ok all virtual machines) and it just tells me as such and boots into classic. idefk what's going on here [18:09] !language | miceiken [18:09] miceiken: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [18:09] llutz, thanks. [18:09] sorry [18:09] my virtual box and vuze stopped working in 11.04 [18:09] miceiken: what do you wnat to do with the second drive [18:09] yohyoh: format it [18:09] like remove all data [18:10] hi all,, [18:10] 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 === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohi [18:10] virtualbox works with unity but you have to install some beta guest tools (or get them through apt) and enable 3d accelration === Mohi is now known as M0hi [18:10] Comthre3: does it work as another user [18:10] though when im running vbox i'm running it in windows, no idea about a linux host [18:10] miceiken: do you plan on using it with ubuntu and if so how [18:10] 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] ActionParsnip: No,, [18:10] be back in a bit [18:11] 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] Comthre3: try renaming the transmission config folder and rerunning it so you get vanilla settings [18:11] ok, now it seems to work [18:11] I've googled came up with a couple of solutions including deleting the config folder [18:11] 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] before it said something about a com error [18:11] ActionParsnip: Done that to no use,, [18:12] 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] 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 [18:13] what a waste downloading the new ubuntu release it's all kinds of wacked [18:13] BotenAnna: what does lspci | grep VGA spit out? [18:13] bubu, 1650, not 1680? [18:13] ok, i got them both running. maybe i had not enough space on my boot drive [18:13] 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] blargg: oh sorry. of course 1680 [18:13] 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] 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] can I fix the task bars in the new release so it dont look like a messed up version of mac [18:14] bubu, have you searched for the model number? I've seen people post their edid files to message boards before.

[18:14] BotenAnna: ok, so sudo at-get install nvidia-current, then reboot [18:14] ubottu thank you kindly because this unity is garbage sorry lol [18:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:14] miceiken: you can run sudo tasksel to install the lamp if you would like also [18:15] lol [18:15] miceiken: easy way is to use gparted [18:15] blargg: my LCD monitor is a part of laptop Samsung r560-bs02. I tried to search on samsung sites but no success( [18:15] should be called headache not unity lol [18:15] BotenAnna: that's apt-get , of course [18:15] stefg: nvidia-current is already the newest version.

[18:17] shell / gui [18:17] howto move all trafic to privoxy with iptables [18:17] BotenAnna: so does nvidia-settings (the Nividia Control panel) work ? if so the driver is enabled, if not the driver is installed, but somehow not active [18:18] elb0w: /etc/X11/xorg.conf might show you, not positive on that [18:18] stefg: it comes up, and I used it to configure it in the past [18:18] BotenAnna: hmmm... so you should have working 3D [18:18] are there any gadgets for the desktop for 11.04?

[18:23] Any ideas if i might have remapped it a while ago and dont remember it? if so, in which file would that be [18:23] stefg: could very well be the case, I do have two screens [18:23] 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] www-data? [18:23] does someone have jabber set up through empathy that can send me a message? [18:24] miceiken: yup that is it [18:24] BotenAnna: to have window borders gain try 'metacity --replace &' [18:24] miceiken: www-data is not a real account if I remember correctly [18:24] zeknox: oh okay, so how should I go about setting up data in there? or should I rather edit my apache config? [18:25] stefg: I just rebooted lol [18:25] miceiken: sudo su [18:25] miceiken: that will make you become root [18:25] but yeah I bet that it is dual monitors [18:26] zeknox: okay then [18:26] I would love it if they spent an entire release cycle getting more than one monitor to work properly because it is 2011 :V [18:26] What are some good programs to use for my sql needs?

[18:45] thummper: wnie == wine, typo [18:45] iceroot: worked well with no problems [18:45] thummper: pastebin the output please [18:46] 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] 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] ActionParsnip: all of it? its quite big [18:46] ghostnik11: and why you need an upgrade?

[18:47] 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] thummper: yes please, that's why pastebins are great :) [18:48] hi [18:48] ghostnik11: "better" is always a personal opinion [18:48] Dr_Willis: icant even see if im logged in [18:48] iceroot: okay you got me thinking i should just stay with 10.10 which runs fantastic on my ibm thinkpad t60 [18:49] 10.10, noone logged in yet.

[18:49] i tried iostream it gives the same error [18:49] 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. [18:50] jeffrey_: have oyu installed the build-essential package?

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] Ringish: no backup? no dice! [18:52] zeknox: gksudo for gedit [18:52] okay [18:52] I fixed it [18:52] stefg: this is weird, when I booted in in recovery mode the screen works [18:52] Ringish: only with your backup [18:53] Dr_Willis: the grub resolution is fine, it's when I've left Grub and the OS is booting [18:53] miceiken: you problem is called plymouth [18:53] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/CQtez64u [18:53] zeknox: works now [18:53] iceroot: There's no backupfunction in terminal? [18:53] iceroot: thanks I forgot that [18:53] stefg: okay, let me google [18:53] #quizzen [18:53] or something [18:53] Ringish: no [18:53] Ringish: not by default [18:53] !plymouth [18:53] Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » [18:53] In unity, how is one supposed to set their cpu scaling choices?

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] Ringish: there is no restorefunction, backups can be done of course from the terminal [18:54] Ringish: same in ANY OS, you need to keep backups [18:54] iceroot: So I can't restore my files [18:54] okay [18:54] Ringish: no, as i said [18:54] thanks anyway [18:54] miceiken: you cant uninstall plymouth completely, but you can uninstall all themes....

Please PM (/query mang0) cos I will be afk. Thanks! [18:54] bye [18:54] Help! I'm stuck in a seemingly endless su/sudo loop! [18:55] Flynn: what do you mean? [18:55] 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] people LOVE learning the hardest way possible why backups are important [18:55] error: no alternatives for default.plymouth [18:55] Kyle__: when oyour drive motor fails, you'll see [18:55] hello, i would like to install the haskell packages from debian(http://packages.debian.org/sid/haskell-platform). Is there a way to neatly do this without updating all non haskell related packages? [18:55] Every command I use with sudo returns a 0640 and 0440. [18:55] ill be back [18:56] 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] Every fix I find for this involves using su [18:56] ActionParsnip: And that's just the live backup. [18:56] Kyle__: thats an efective backup [18:56] * Kyle__ nods [18:56] i just did an upgrade but the keys in login screen have to be held down for a few seconds to show [18:56] Su returns authentication failure after i try to log in [18:56] but not after having logged in [18:56] 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] Oh, and it's all on unix(&like) systems :) [18:57] wtf? [18:57] how do you fix the places menu when it decides to use something else other nautilus for the opening of the folders? [18:57] genjix: is it ok when you log in? What video chip do you use? [18:57] ActionParsnip: I know. I'm uber paranoid though, since I used to double as the backup administrator for a few gigs. [18:57] amstan: i cant see dependencies not from haskell [18:57] :3 [18:57] Flynn: boot live-cd, mount your /-fs and do "sudo chmod 440 /mntpoint/etc/sudoers" [18:58] ActionParsnip: yeah it is ok. strangely it's fine on another laptop of the same specs [18:58] cna somone type my name so i can see if my new sounds work on this ubuntu [18:58] eiriksvin: [18:58] 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] thanx:) [18:58] No live CD [18:58] iceroot: won't they try updating? [18:58] 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] charles: alt+f2, run nautilus, then right click a folder and go to "Open With" and change the default [18:58] amstan: that will kill your system syncing everything grom sid [18:58] genjix: what video chip do you use? [18:58] MK``, thank you [18:58] 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] iceroot: yes, i don't want to do that, i only want to have those haskell packages being updated [18:58] ActionParsnip: intel i believe [18:59] iceroot: is that possible? [18:59] amstan: enable the sid repo install the haskell part and remove the sid-repo or use apt-pinning [18:59] but its like slow keys is enabled [18:59] !debian | iceroot [18:59] iceroot: 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! [18:59] amstan: yes as ActionParsnip said its not a supported way but should work in this case [19:00] ActionParsnip, iceroot: yes... i get that it's not supported, but the package from ubuntu is broken, and building from source is not an option [19:00] !ppa | amstan [19:00] amstan: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[19:00] 2 bitcoins to the first person who finds a working solution to this problem :) [19:00] amstan: so you want ghc6 [19:01] ActionParsnip: apt-get install haskell-platform does that: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/haskell-platform/+bug/742052 [19:01] Ubuntu bug 742052 in haskell-platform (Ubuntu) "Broken Haskell Platform in 11.04 Depends: ghc6 (< 6.12.1+)" [Undecided,Confirmed] [19:01] 2 bitcoins = $5 [19:01] Hello there!

[19:01] amstan: what release of ubuntu? [19:01] ActionParsnip: natty [19:02] amstan: https://launchpad.net/~mbeloborodiy/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=natty has ghc6 ver 7.0.3 for Natty [19:02] MK``, sorry, seems my file manager is somehow linked to libreoffice, also, there doesn't seem to be a remember this action [19:02] ActionParsnip: i did Y at the end of my paste bin (http://pastebin.com/CQtez64u) but i don't understand how to configure it, i've scrolled down and theres a bit that says but i cany do anything [19:02] cant* [19:02] ActionParsnip: decent, how did you find it? i tried for 15 minutes [19:03] guys, after upgrading to narwhal, nothing is being written to /var/log/messages. Is this expected or is something going on? [19:03] amstan: the ppa search link ubottu gave gives a search engine to ALL the launchpad PPAs, I just searched for ghc6 and got this page: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=ghc6 then opened them ALL and looked at the version numbers for the release you have [19:03] jbwiv_, check "dmesg" [19:03] So yeah, ubuntu 11.04 destroyed my install [19:03] the update [19:04] Does anyone know if unity-2d is fully supported? [19:04] Kyle__: if its in the official repos, then yes [19:04] Asside from some miro annoyances (mostly related to adding items to the bar), it seems much faster. [19:05] how do I use apt to show infomation on a package, like what it is/what it does [19:05] sereal: apt-cache show packagename [19:05] No wonder average users don't like linux, because you run the auto updator and suddenly you can't boot anymore. [19:05] what is /dev/sda, /dev/sda1 etc? [19:05] charles: that's strange... it's not listed on the bottom of the "Other Application" menu to remember it? [19:05] Kyle__: well it will be, it doesn't need as much processing power [19:05] Thanks Pici [19:06] ActionParsnip: it didn't like me: http://pastebin.com/miqTQJ4c [19:06] Might: sometimes upgrades can be painful, it varies wildly. Do you want help or are you here to moan and achive nothing? [19:06] cna somone type my name so i can see if my new sounds work on this ubuntu [19:06] I need some major help [19:06] deostroll: /dev/sda is the hardisk, /dev/sda1, /dev/sdaN is the Nth partition [19:06] 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] amstan: yowser [19:06] how do i kill a transfer task??? [19:06] Might: continue [19:06] 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] amstan: ok i'd pull that out [19:06] I have a prompt now when I boot, it says "grub rescue>" [19:06] I looked up the commands [19:06] okenobi, is this the default organization for all distros ?

[19:09] XceptN: try rerunning compiz --replace, perhaps. [19:09] none of the commands listed for the rescue mode even work [19:09] Might: you need to some how restore the widnwos bootloader, normally with a windows cd. [19:09] The bootloader is there, it's the MBR [19:10] I can fix it once I'm in windows [19:10] Dr_Willis: thanks - I noticed unity-window-decorator segfaults - restarting it solves [19:10] Might: yes but the config is damaged, you need the livecd [19:10] but I can't get into wndows, because grub says the "boot" command doesn't exist [19:10] XceptN: Hmm. that may be the new name for the window-decorator. :) [19:10] Hi all! ive a big Problem... i just bought a new LED-Monitor with 1950x1080 resolution.. now ubuntu is not offering that resolution to me.. what can i do?

It's a LOT different [19:33] I'm trying to give it a good chance but I'm not seeing the benefit of the new interfaces [19:33] Cajun_Lan_Man: you could try disabling all your software sources (in synaptic) except for the cd === herton_ is now known as herton [19:34] I know. But if Ubuntu is going the way of Unity, I'm going to dive in head first. [19:34] can anyone tell me where the "connect to server" thing went? [19:34] I know I saw it somewhere and I can't figure out where [19:35] ttist25: still under Places in Gnome "classic" :) [19:35] Chipzz: want do it [19:35] which makes a much better use of my large monitor :-p [19:35] Gnome Classic!?!? That sounds promising! [19:35] How do I get that? [19:35] Cajun_Lan_Man: it would be better to back up files and fresh install [19:35] ttist25: select it on the login screen [19:36] ttist25: it is also in File/Connect to Server when you click the Home Folder launcher (nautilus) [19:36] ttist25: there's a dropdown at the bottom [19:36] ttist25, login window bottom bar after confirming name before pass word session [19:36] ah! [19:36] Beautiful! Thanks a bunch [19:36] It does seem confuseing how you ahve to enter a name first. for the menu to even show up. [19:36] Cajun_Lan_Man: p.s. - love the lemming comment - that's the spirit! ;-) [19:37] Now if they showed it but greyed out. that would make more sence. [19:37] komodo169: I may end up doing that. Thing is I've got 10.10 running as part of a dual boot, and I'm trying to avoid drama there. [19:37] komodo169: I'm 50/50 lemming :) [19:37] komodo169: on my laptop I find it a bit more useful [19:37] but not on my 1920x1200 desktop [19:37] lol@nemo [19:37] nemo, refreshing; transparency thanks.;) [19:37] I'll keep giving it a shot but, it's great to know I can do classic if I need to be productive. [19:38] thanks again [19:38] ttist25: of course the classic is to be removed in the next releae in 6 mo. :) [19:38] Cajun_Lan_Man: I didn't like the 11.04 deal. the unity desktop did not work for me [19:38] hahahaha [19:38] Cajun_Lan_Man: have you tried the live cd? do you like it? [19:38] komodo169: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/648180/comments/25 - me being "eh" [19:38] Ubuntu bug 648180 in unity (Ubuntu) "Unity is not an adequate replacement for Gnome2 (and sucks a little bit less then it used to)" [Undecided,Opinion] [19:39] @nemo: right-o [19:39] peace [19:39] They said the same thing about KDE when they switched from 3 to 4.. the latest kde4 is quite good however. :) thats how things are. [19:39] Im sure unity will get major improvements over the next few months [19:39] Sooo. yeah. why has ubuntu decided in unity that it needs to mount all my cifs windows shares from my fstab? [19:39] Dr_Willis: Im using 11.04 KDE - love it [19:39] komodo169: I've got 11.04 running on 2 other machines. It's very different, but I'm still trying to decide if I feel love/hate/indifferent about it. [19:39] result is mount-all hanging endlessly and prompting for passwords I haven o desire to enter [19:40] (at least until I started swapping fstab after boot) [19:40] s/mount-all/mountall/ [19:40] komodo169: ive been leaning towards lubuntu more and more :) Just works how 'i' work [19:40] italia [19:40] bbl [19:40] er. not in unity, in natty. sorry. [19:40] milano italia [19:41] malle [19:41] I'm all for whatever will give Ubuntu a broader user base. Then more commercial apps will show up on it. I can't ditch windows at home because I'm a gamer. I can't ditch windows at work because of outlook and Active Directory. [19:41] Cajun_Lan_Man: ehm. lots of FOSS games out there, and the ones I care about work in Wine [19:41] so [19:42] Cajun_Lan_Man: my preferred FOSS games are Wesnoth (TBS), Spring (RTS) and Hedgewars (TBS/Ballistic) [19:42] nemo: I wish I could say the same about Wine. [19:42] lol [19:42] good evening [19:42] anyone knows how to make unity panel go to the other monitor? [19:42] Cajun_Lan_Man: Back to the original issue: probably back up / install 11.04 if you want. Just the way I would do it. or keep 10.10 til yer absolutely sure [19:42] Cajun_Lan_Man: games I've tried in wine lately are portal, some korean MMORPG my lil' bro plays, and spore (ick) [19:42] apparently, plymouth is causing my monitor to go black, I tried the commands fro !plymouth and they just said there were no alternatives for default.plymouth [19:42] Cajun_Lan_Man: all convinced me I'm happier w/ FOSS games :) [19:42] nemo: my current games are Starcraft 2, Portal 2, and Rift. [19:42] there is a priject about zeitgeist and nautilus integration? [19:42] project* [19:43] Cajun_Lan_Man: actually, you can ditch outlook and AD. there's evolution, or thunderbird with davmail, and for ad, look at http://www.likewise.com/products/likewise_open/ [19:43] Cajun_Lan_Man: portal 2 is fine in wine. Spring is better than starcraft, but starcraft works in wine too [19:43] Cajun_Lan_Man: no clue about rift [19:43] Cajun_Lan_Man: excellent choice on games. nice..... [19:43] nemo: sc2? [19:44] 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] mbeierl: the problem is that I have to be able to manage AD [19:44] hey guys, how do I make lsof show the port number instead of the service name? [19:44] `lsof -i` [19:44] doesn't portal 2 make us of dx10 or dx11 then? [19:44] Cajun_Lan_Man: you cannot manage it from the AD server itself ... via remote desktop? [19:45] arvut: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20882 [19:45] Is there a way to chose which desktop the unity launcher appears on? [19:45] mbeierl: That would be my only option. Our main company apps already run in citrix, which works great in Ubuntu. [19:45] miceiken: it appears ok. can you connect to the internet? what exactly is the issue? [19:45] Cajun_Lan_Man: for doing windows tasks at work, I just use VirtualBox [19:46] 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] fizk_: -P [19:46] 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] 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] llutz, ty [19:46] Maverick keeps saying "no new release found" When I want to upgrade anybody has an answer? [19:46] how do i start acpi once in unity [19:46] oliver_: try gnome classic with no effects? :) [19:46] Oh Yes: I googeld for 4 hour now :( [19:46] oliver_: also. there was a recent fix disabling some intel thing [19:46] check for updates [19:46] and is it just me or other folks also experienced weird color scheme on the new firefox? [19:46] nemo: here i have the same problem [19:47] oliver_: er. you have same problem in classic with no effects? (using metacity) [19:47] 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] myf: if you mean the UI, you perhaps mean the integration with your desktop theme colours... [19:47] i dont know what metacity is, but i switched the startup screen to classic with no effects [19:48] myf: you can disable that, or install a firefox theme, or tweak it w/ a personna, whatever. [19:48] Cajun_Lan_Man: define "maxes out internet" ... like a bit torrent? [19:48] oliver_: there was an intel driver update recently. refresh update manager [19:48] komodo169: any idea? [19:49] 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] 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] no new releases found when I want to upgrade, first upgrade to Natty was broken down by bad internet connexion help [19:49] nemo im using awesome wm. supposely the ubuntu theme does not affect this [19:49] myf: about:config layers.acceleration.disabled - try setting it to true [19:49] miceiken: You still there? [19:49] my upgrade to 11.04 was a complete failure [19:49] edbian: yes [19:49] nemo: lemme take a look [19:50] 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] 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] Wow. There is an update already. I will try it .... [19:50] 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] THX [19:50] so I ended up completely purging the linux partition on my drive using fire. [19:50] mbeierl: all i'm doing on the ubuntu machine to trigger it is downloading something from the internet. [19:50] hell, even a youtube video will do it [19:50] miceiken: I don't see anything wrong with your /etc/network/interfaces. What problem are you experiencing? [19:51] mbeierl: webpages download just fine. Only larger, single file downloads. [19:51] 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] I think this whole aversion by ubuntu to using the nvidia proprietary drivers is a big overzealous [19:51] bit* [19:51] miceiken: nvidia card? [19:51] mbeierl: ubuntu software updates will usually do it too [19:51] 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] edbian, think so yes, anyway to check? :D [19:52] how does one install an nvidia driver from commandline [19:52] miceiken: So the screen goes black during boot and never comes back or? [19:52] miceiken: have you removed "splash" from the kernel command line? [19:52] mbeierl: the network and sonicwall admin would be me. [19:52] one who has barely -any- linux experience, is that really what people are forced to do when upgrading distros? [19:52] edbian: correct, after the GRUB boot screen it goes black [19:52] miceiken: removing splash is a good idea. So is booting nomodeset [19:52] meno: tweaked layer.accleration, no changes [19:52] miceiken: Do you know how to change kernel options? [19:52] nemo: tweaked layer.accleration, no changes [19:52] No idea :) [19:52] 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] miceiken: you can remoive it permanently or per session [19:52] 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 [19:53] permanently [19:53] miceiken: This explains in detail with screenshots :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 [19:53] how can I find out who is using file descriptors on my server? [19:53] thanx [19:53] I can't remember a -single- major version upgrade that hasn't fallen on it's face completely and left my computer unusable. forcing me to reinstall using a new ISO of the new version [19:53] I've reached 1024 which seem to be the limit [19:53] anyone use Zune w Banshee media player [19:53] mbeierl: even bypassing the sonicwall with a content filter bypass doesn't help. [19:53] miceiken: Make sure you follow the directions for an installed OS (not wubi) [19:53] miceiken: o/ :D [19:53] mbeierl: somehow it just doesn't like something Ubuntu does. [19:53] Am I to believe Google when it says that the Dash icons can't be made smaller? [19:54] 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] it has to be done in GRUB loader? [19:54] hi bindi [19:54] hi folks [19:54] is Zune hd Compatible w 11.04, specifically banshee media player? === icestorm is now known as Guest70352 [19:55] I have a geforce 7000m and my graphics are all fuzzy --- what driver do i install? [19:55] 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] miceiken: Yes. But you have to press shift to even see the grub bootloader menu. By default it is hidden in Ubuntu. [19:55] 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] 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 [19:56] hello...when i turn an interface down with ifconfig wlan0 down it does not STAY down, auto starts back up within a few minutes. how do i prevent it from auto starting, thanks ? [19:56] how do i start acpi once in unity [19:56] I have external usb hard drives and am trying to format them after a failed attempt at software raid 1.... now gparted is complaining that the device /dev/sde1 is in use and I can't format it [19:57] howkj1: unmount it [19:57] edbian: Save the file and exit gedit. If you have to add kernel options that contain quotation marks, add them as such: [19:57] what do they mean with kernel options [19:57] it isn't mounted [19:57] hi nemo still does not work. :( [19:58] miceiken: quiet is a kernel option [19:58] howkj1: gparted thinks it still is. try restarting gparted maybe? [19:58] Cajun_Lan_Man: and without wondershaper, do you get more than 16kB? [19:58] edbian: but this: acpi_osi=\"Linux\" [19:58] 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] can anyone help me with ubuntu AWS images? [19:58] root@Stealth1:/home/howkj1# pvs [19:58] Couldn't find device with uuid 'IgWiAe-ksXG-YKEd-lnGV-m0Fz-8U5M-0UauYZ'. [19:58] is that needed?

[19:58] why wont xchat connect to the irc.twit.tv server [19:58] ketma: can you stop the network manager? [19:58] miceiken: You're adding nomodeset which does not contain quotes so the point is moot. [19:58] seems to never recover from a shutdown [19:59] oh [19:59] doh [19:59] Looks like the intel hd chip is not working correctly :( [19:59] mbeierl: I do for about 10 seconds, then the sonicwall shuts me down to nothing. [19:59] Q: ubuntu 11.04 smaller dash icons ... possible? [19:59] thanks :) [19:59] Chipzzz: i am in ssh not a gui, what is the service or command I need to stop it ? [19:59] blenderbottle: connects fine here [19:59] miceiken: makes sense? [19:59] IdleOne ...what could i be doing wrong [19:59] i can connect in irssi [19:59] Any ideas, why the screen stays black after switching monitors on my intel hd chip based notebook [19:59] ketma: try sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop [20:00] blenderbottle: not sure all I did was /server irc.twit.tv and it connected [20:00] Okay, this is ridiculous! I upgraded not so long ago, and my monitor just started saying last night "Input Range Out of Range" "Change setting to 1600x900 - 60Hz" but like, if I put it on that then it says that error, if its lower then it works, but its all blury and looks like crap [20:00] wtf.... [20:00] I heard something about lenses on unity , can somebody give me some idea like how to get some youtube lens? [20:00] "cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr" gives me "1024 0 38001" The file descriptors are used mainly by root and www-data so why do I hit the 1024 limit? [20:00] Has anyone encountered, with a fresh install of Natty (desktop - classic), that there is no /var/log/messages file? [20:00] edbian: gonna try now, thanks :) [20:00] Chipzzz: that works and i got a nice message about it being converted to an Upstart job [20:00] miceiken: sure. [20:00] :) [20:01] hello.. I'm having a problem starting Samba and I need help getting to the root of it.. the output of smbstatus is: No Locked Files whilst looking at the samba.log.smbd file shows me: [2011/05/03 19:49:22.033587, 0] smbd/server.c:1255(main) ERROR: failed to setup guest info. [20:01] can anyone direct me to a channel for lvm removal / hard drive formatting issues? -thanks... using Ubuntu 10.04 [20:01] thauriswulfa: omg!ubuntu! blog has a lot of tips about unity [20:01] Chipzzz: so i'll use stop next time...i am now back to trouble shooting my upgrade. reason i am in ssh session is because i got no desktop after upgrade [20:01] Input signal out of range* [20:01] Chipzzz: just my old wallpaper [20:01] edbian: seems like it's stuck on a screen with the "cursor" just blinking [20:01] does wine run under unity menu on ubuntu 10.10? [20:01] xangua: I read that blog daily, but not able to find out about lenses? [20:02] An Ubuntu 11.04 splash screen showed up for less than a second tho [20:02] miceiken: mhmm. How did you change things? By pressing shift and such? [20:02] thauriswulfa: it has a search button ;) [20:02] ketma: I have heard so many complaints about the upgrade that I haven't ventured to try it yet... sorry I can't be of much more help [20:02] bhaduza1, yes, everything. just drag it [20:03] Chipzzz: lol no problem its not a critical machine just my Kids desktop [20:03] edbian: no, permanent solution by editing /etc/default/grub [20:03] Anyone have any suggestions? [20:03] miceiken: Can you pastebin /etc/default/grub for me or is this machine not online. How did you edit those files in the first place if your screen is black after the grub menu? [20:03] Chipzzz: although it is annoying that it basically bombed i have two distinct problems.. the network was excruciatingly slow on wireless nic and no desktop [20:04] Chipzzz: been googling all day trying to fix it [20:04] anyone know why ubuntu servers dns would just suddenly break, when the dns servers are still functional? [20:04] Chipzzz, not really the upgrade but unity. upgrade should let your system running fine. [20:04] 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] ^ lol [20:04] bye [20:04] hahah [20:04] edbian: I booted into recovery mode, with root acess. The only thing I did was adding nomodeset to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. [20:05] edbian: I did change the network interface also tho [20:05] Chipzzz,there are some steps to take tough, like updating what you have first and checking for errors [20:05] miceiken: You've done all of these changes through recovery mode?? [20:05] edbian: yes, is that wrong? :D [20:05] is there a fix for using an external monitor in 11.04 with nvidia? [20:05] can anyone tell me how i can "restart" any DNS related services? [20:06] miceiken: No that's fine. I just want to get a clear picture. So what options are in your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [20:06] ?? [20:06] Hi guys, will gnome-shell make it into Ubuntu? [20:06] hold on then I need to reboot into recovery mode again [20:06] miceiken: sure [20:06] can one start acpi from within unity [20:06] miceiken: Do you not remember? [20:06] tapoxi: gnome 3 is already out ;) [20:07] edbian: not all of them :D [20:07] 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] hello everyone [20:07] miceiken: ok [20:07] Anton_new: hi [20:07] i need to install my Lexmark z13 printer [20:07] miceiken: Is this machine online in anyway? (are you talking to me on a second machine?) [20:07] lcb: thanks [20:07] please help [20:07] Defusal_ : try : sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [20:07] 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] cr4x0r, try then running the graphics/monitor configuration from your driver utility. [20:07] howkj1, wont that kill my ssh? [20:08] Defusal_ good point [20:08] :( [20:08] lcb: i tried the monitor config in the default desktop (unity i guess?) [20:08] im wondering how people mostly deal with their servers dns suddenly dying... [20:08] 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] tapoxi: im not sure, but i dont think the gnome3 package will be called gnome-shell now that its stable [20:09] 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] 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] miceiken: I've lost confidence in nomodeset since it didn't fix the problem immediately. [20:09] miceiken: To be clear. This is Ubuntu 11.04 desktop? [20:09] lcb: i dont use dual i really only use the one monitor, but its on a laptop [20:10] edbian: 11.04 server [20:10] miceiken: ok [20:10] cr4x0r, it's the freaking natty + some drivers not updated + xorg stopping supporting some adapters that makes all problems. [20:10] is there a fix for slow wifi on natty? [20:10] still just the cursor, and a second of ubuntu splash screen oO [20:10] thanks Defusal_ ! [20:11] lcb: classic it is (= thanks again for your help [20:11] Defusal_ : you could append... are you using sshd? [20:11] edbian: still just the cursor, and a second of ubuntu splash screen oO - is this related to the network changes i did? [20:11] hi guys! [20:11] 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] cr4x0r, interestingly, awm (avant window manager) does a better job than unity, plus you do whatever you want with the desktop. [20:11] howkj1, yeah i am... append? [20:12] nemo ah I see... Sucks [20:12] lcb: ill give it a shot [20:12] 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] 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] Defusal_ : so you could restart your network with the previous line and then use pipe " | " ....... [20:12] edbian: oh doh forgot to do it this time [20:12] update-manager said Can not upgrade An upgrade from '' to 'maverick' is not supported with this tool. [20:13] miceiken: That probably is why nothing changed. (You're of course saving the /etc/default/grub file as well right?) :P [20:13] cr4x0r, it's a must. i stopped *supporting* unity environment. time enough for devs to fix the issues.

I tried to ping this computer and it said "Network is unreachable" [20:17] mbroeker: isn't it per user?

[20:18] 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] 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] miceiken: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart (I hate that quark of Ubuntu) [20:18] bencc, you can check /etc/security/limits.conf or the proc fs directly.

[20:19] 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] edbian: Failed to bring up eth0 [20:19] miceiken: Any details about why? [20:19] edbian: "Don't seem to have all the variables for eth0/inet." [20:19] does ubuntu ship with a native firewall?

[20:21] edbian: Yes, my ip is 105 here now [20:21] 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] edbian: also I've spelled it "adress" is it "address"? :D [20:21] 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] vanguard: learn wpasupplicant :P [20:21] dagon: its set to auto login...how do I get it to logout ? [20:21] miceiken: your pastebin spells it correctly :) [20:21] miceiken: it is address [20:22] bencc, well, you know more about it than me.

Maybe it's just be being plain stupid tho. I greatly appreciate your help! Thank you :) [20:23] Anyone know how to get the apple ear buds with mic working in ubuntu 10.10 [20:23] miceiken: NO problem.

[20:34] trism, ok, thank you! [20:34] ketema: use a different UI and it can look like any other distribution or even a different OS [20:34] bob__: Guessing but probably in /home/you/.wxbanker [20:34] I mean nothing will come up other than the purple screen, sorry about that blackbit lol [20:34] i found an article that says when you have no window manager to right click the dekstop and create a folder then enter the folder to get into the file manager...when i try to do this the context menu flashes reall quickly then disappers...

I've just set up 10.04 server and noticed it didn't come with sendmail (php couldn't send mail) so I installed sendmail and set the directive in php.ini to /usr/sbin/sendmail. mail() returns true but no mail is sent and I can't find any errors... can anyone help? [20:35] Just installed 11.04, running xfce. When I go to the printer configuration, it asks me for the root password :) Does anyone know what command that is so I can run it in sudo? [20:35] ketema: dislike of a distribution as customizable as linux based on the UI makes no sense at all [20:35] someone has a working auto login in gnome3? [20:35] blackbit, yes it was an upgrade, I tried making a fresh install with 11.04 though using a USB boot but my computer won't even bring the install menu up for it. [20:35] carl-m: your password [20:35] edbian: I'll try there - thanks (I am using 10.04LTS as I dislike 11.04) [20:35] bob__: ok. [20:35] hi [20:36] ActionParsnip: who said i did not like linux ? i love linux and i like ubuntu is fine for my kids [20:36] Any idea blackbit? [20:36] other tty got frozen, how do I unfroze it? I am in alt + ctrl + f4 [20:36] has anyone ever had success compiling a source version of dsniff? [20:36] carl-m: run the installer with sudo and use your log in pass [20:36] but I was downloading a big file [20:36] Does anybody use linux mint? [20:36] I don't want to lose it [20:36] flametai1: I can't solve your issue, but I had a similar one while upgrading from 10.10. Stuck on login, it gave me a 'module is unknown' error after typing credentials and pressing login. I spent about 1 hour looking for solutions in a forum but just spent 15 minutes making a fresh install === marco is now known as Guest73337 [20:36] can I move a proccess to other tty? [20:36] flametai1: Hope you get the idea [20:36] \list [20:37] ketema: same deal. You can change it as you wish. Its not just for kids by any stretch [20:37] ActionParsnip: I am going to install a network printer; I'm not sure what you mean by the install program [20:37] Does anyone use linux Mint? [20:37] edbian: that holding down did not help...by the way the screen flickers i think i have a driver problem...the video card is old but its has 256 MB vram its an old nvidia...im going to try a different video card and see if it helps [20:37] trueman: mint is offtopic and unsupported here [20:37] nobody? [20:38] ketema: Ok. Also, does alt + F2 do anything? [20:38] ActionParsnip: actually my kids love it [20:38] should I download and install the updates for 10.10 ? everything is working like a charm and I am kind of apprehensive about updating 10.10 [20:38] blackbit, any idea why the installer wouldn't work then? === Wolf is now known as Guest98706 [20:38] n-iCe, let it go, probably a mem issue and it might go away in time. [20:38] ActionParsnip, do you always use only ubuntu? [20:38] trueman: you have problems with mint? [20:38] Hi guys! [20:38] lcb: I am downloading the file from chrome how can I see the % of downloading [20:39] to wait until it finish [20:39] carl-m: the installer asking for root. Stop it then run the command prefixed with sudo [20:39] n-iCe, no other tty? [20:39] 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] ActionParsnip: I am not running an installer, I am running the 'Printing' item on the settings menu [20:39] lcb: yes I have the others tty I am in other right now [20:39] my question was what program to run from the command line [20:40] Guys, do you like unity? [20:40] trueman: no my lappy runs xpud most days and my samba box runs puppy [20:40] n-iCe, command top [20:40] trueman, NO [20:40] trueman: no [20:40] Hello [20:40] hm... [20:40] Gnome :D [20:40] done lcb now? [20:40] trueman: I do. [20:40] !oi [20:40] !ot [20:40] hi [20:40] #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! [20:40] ??? [20:40] trueman: i prefer gnome-shell, but it always crashes [20:40] i have that old issue of mice pointer not wanting to be scaled, which is i think compiz related, what was/is the solution nowadays? (i did fix that in 10.10 somehow...) [20:41] n-iCe, you see if the process is running. [20:41] running 11.04 classic [20:41] !ot > arsenall [20:41] arsenall, please see my private message [20:41] carl-m: then that shouldn't need more than user access [20:41] Arsenall : crash?! [20:41] can you explain? why is unity so bad? [20:41] 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] lcb: chrome is running, of course, I wanna know the % of the download in chrome [20:41] lcb: I can't even run startx again [20:41] it doesnt work normaly [20:41] Trueman: its ok (unity) [20:41] 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] in natty [20:42] I'm unable to delete/modify content in my secondary hard drive, I believe it has something to do with mount permission [20:42] edbian, let me try... [20:42] n-iCe: What crashed? [20:42] arsenall : It's very strange! O.o [20:42] s [20:42] s [20:42] i think it's problem with nvidia drivers [20:42] brontosaurusrex: I'm not sure it is the solution. Just an idea. [20:42] n-iCe: What crashed? [20:42] 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] it's probably [20:42] edbian, rings a bell a bit... [20:42] my english knowledge is not very good, Sorry [20:43] brontosaurusrex: yeah. Same for me [20:43] Carl-m: use alacarte to find the command that menu item runs then run it with sudo [20:43] hello everybody [20:43] lcb: but how can I know when it finished [20:43] n-iCe, by looking at top [20:44] n-iCe: I am trying to help you, what crashed? [20:44] can someone help me with gentoo? [20:44] Omega: everything [20:44] tajpan_22: Try #gentoo [20:44] n-iCe: so compiz? [20:44] nvidia drivers cannot detect EDID info from our monitors=( it's a nvidia's bug, or monitor manufactures... i don't know [20:44] Omega: I was on skype then all got freeze [20:44] Omega: dunno [20:44] ok, thanks [20:44] lcb: but says just chrome running, it does not say if the download finished [20:44] n-iCe: Go in a tty and type the following: sudo killall -9 compiz && unity [20:44] ActionParsnip: thanks, 'alacarte' was what I was missing [20:44] 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? [20:45] Trueman: then run: sudo nvidia-xconfig [20:45] I'm trying to disable monitor hotplug polling..but even with sudo, I'm getting permission denied.... [20:45] 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] ActionParsnip, for what? [20:46] i already have xorg.conf in /etc/X11 ) [20:46] edbian, didnt work [20:46] brontosaurusrex: sorry. It was just a guess! [20:46] someone using gnome 3 in ubuntu 11.4 [20:47] 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] tomlin, yes most of us are [20:47] the command I'm trying is 'echo 0 > /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll' ... even with sudo in front, permission denied [20:47] is there a way to move the unity launcher from one monitor to another? [20:47] dd214, tomlin: No, Ubuntu uses Unity by default, not GNOME 3. [20:47] Can someone help me with VNC real quick? I'm trying to connect from TightVNC on windows to my ubuntu machine but keep getting the error "Server did not offer supported security type!" [20:48] dd214 : is autol login working for you?

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

[20:49] tomlin, nvrmnd.. sorry, I force authentication [20:49] how can i upgrade from a CD ? [20:49] n-iCe: And if that didn't work, I knew how to check if it was done with the download. [20:49] n-iCe: But oh well. [20:49] I have the 11.04 CD, im running 10.10, should be simple? [20:49] Realop: you must use alternative cd [20:49] RealOp, do a clean install [20:50] RealOp: I would reccomend you backup your files and do a fresh install [20:50] lcb: thanks, one is my laptop the other is a separate monitor and I want it on the monitor not my laptop [20:50] ActionParsnip, ok, obviously they're expecting people visiting launchpad to be slightly more linux savvy that I am at present :) [20:50] ActionParsnip, does alt cd support 64bit? [20:50] dd214 ok thx .. i tried all ops but i always have to authenticate too... i m wondering [20:50] trism, thanks :) [20:50] ActionParsnip: No, he doesn't need the alternative cd. [20:50] kaffe_02, running unity or classic? [20:50] RealOp: You don't need the alt cd. [20:50] lcb: unity [20:50] Geoffrey2: use: sudo -i first and you'll be ok [20:50] RealOp: the normal one is fine [20:50] kaffe_02, with no problemas at all? :o [20:51] Anyone virtualizing Windows 7 within Ubuntu ? [20:51] From natty onwards you can upgrade through the normal iso too. [20:51] Omega, how can i upgrade via iso or cd? [20:51] !upgrade [20:51] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [20:51] Omega: for an upgrade using a CD you should use the alt CD. Check the upgrade docs [20:51] RealOp: do you have it burned? [20:51] kaffe_02, more than 1 moni on unity is giving a lot of probs, that's why i asked [20:51] i have both [20:52] ActionParsnip: There is a new feature in the natty installer, he can use the normal cd. [20:52] Realop: ISO and CD are no different in Linux [20:52] http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/ubuntu-live-cd-will-let-you-upgrade-to.html [20:52] lcb: yeah no problem just super+a find monitors and then it was able to detect the displays with out any problems [20:52] Omega: is user upgrading to natty? [20:53] kaffe_02, do you have catalystic on preferences? [20:53] I'm having fun with the dmesg bug....the one where your entire dmesg output is a bunch of errors [20:53] uhmm, how about some fancy mouse trail effect in compiz?, that would do, if i can't have huge pointer [20:53] kaffe_02, i mean catalyst [20:53] ActionParsnip: yes [20:54] Omega: current release could be Lucid... [20:54] He said 10.10. [20:54] * RealOp is on lucid [20:54] < RealOp> I have the 11.04 CD, im running 10.10, should be simple? [20:54] lcb: I dont think so, how can I check that? [20:55] Omega: cool. Was unaware of the feature. My bad [20:55] RealOp: We can't help you if you mislead us. [20:55] Is there a fix yet for the blank screen during NEW install of 11.04? [20:55] kaffe_02, search on apps by control center [20:55] ActionParsnip: no problem mate [20:55] Omega, sorry i have too many machines running diff versions [20:55] You are using Ubuntu 10.10 [20:55] - the Maverick Meerkat - released in October 2010 [20:56] jakegub: which video chip do you have? [20:56] 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? [20:56] RealOp: My advice would be to backup and do a fresh install. [20:56] ActionParsnip: Geforce 540m on a Clevo notebook [20:56] Omega, ty for the link ill give it a go later [20:57] Jakegub: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [20:57] Omega: +1 for clean install [20:57] irc on empathy :D [20:57] * ketema changed video card and 11.04 came up...is there a recommended video card list somewhere ? that way when I do my next one i won't have this issue with no desktop [20:57] * RealOp will do clean install [20:57] ActionParsnip: forgive me, During installation I add that as a --tag to the boot options?

[20:59] anyone know why in 10.04 I could be getting the following error when trying to use bibtex: I couldn't open style file IEEETran.bst [20:59] Tomlin: its not supported here. Try #gnome [20:59] using Banshee media player, connecting to DAAP server, when i exit the DAAP record is removed and i have to add again. how do i make it stay? [20:59] ActionParship: ok i try [21:01] is there a way to save unity session? [21:01] ActionParsnip: I will try it. Thank you for the suggestions.

I refuse to upgrade to 11.04 until the bugs have been sorted out in a few months [21:08] thanks :) [21:08] Hi, is there any way to get playlists in the sound menu on 10.10 Maverick (maybe just using the natty soundmenu?). I dont want to upgrade to 11.04 [21:09] samtate: No need to repeat [21:09] If someone can help me access my hard drive, it would be great [21:09] samtate: the support landed on 11.04, there is no easy way and not sure if anyone has tried, but if you want you could try upgrading the indicator and banshee extension [21:09] vish, how would I do that? [21:09] 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? === angad is now known as jungal [21:09] @ray24 how do you want to access ur hardrive ? [21:09] ray24, how so? [21:09] ray24: Could you give some more details? [21:09] 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] well, my secondary hard drive won't allow me access to delete or create files on it [21:10] 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] Toph: I really don't have much Unity knowledge, your best bet would be to ask the channel. [21:10] 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] ray24 as in you dont have permission? [21:10] real vs. barcelona 1 : 1 [21:10] Pici,,, ok, can anyone else help me on that one? [21:10] vish, are there packages or a ppa though? [21:10] 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? [21:11] ActionParsnip: Okay. Do you mind explaining the xorg.conf file editing? I'm a noob in GNU/Linux in general. [21:11] When I try to unmount it, it saids "Failed to eject media; one or more volumes on the media are busy." [21:11] 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] i (again) feel like these limiting renewals are just retarded. [21:11] Toph: i have the same. I need a startup item to run: compiz --replace at logon [21:11] 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? [21:12] vish, so where are the packages? Any particular site? [21:12] ray24 so how does that effect your reading/writing abilities? [21:12] ActionParsnip: they're unmodified, just downloaded them from the ubuntu sid repo [21:12] samtate: on launchpad [21:12] ActionParsnip,,, ok,, then I should be ok, in spite of getting at it in a roundabout way [21:12] anyone else getting "No indicators" on gnome panel in 10.10?

Hunt round and you will find examples [21:13] ray24, yes. [21:13] vish, There are no debs, so obviously I will have to compile [21:13] ubunub, it doesn't make sense that I'd get that prompt, since I'm not running any application from that hd [21:13] vish, ? [21:13] vish: whoever decided that i couldn't layout my desktop by my own, deserves to be shot and needs better/other drugs. [21:13] if i comes to it though, eject it from the side panel in nautilus and see if it works. [21:13] samtate: the natty debs should be available.. the ones that are installed for natty [21:13] amstan: sudo dpkg -i *.deb will install them [21:14] vish, i cant see any [21:14] ActionParsnip: i know, but i want a ppa, or something similar to host them for other comps [21:14] 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] bassliner: the design team, but thats offtopic here.. feel free to use #ubuntu-offtopic for venting ;) [21:14] i can just hope no other unix desktop environment would follow this silly limiting b/s. [21:14] Bassliner: use gnome classic and you can [21:15] ActionParsnip: i'll rather fork unity on my own and hack it to the bone to let it just do what i want.

Here's a standard C helloworld as a reference:http://groups.engin.umd.umich.edu/CIS/course.des/cis400/c/hworld.html [21:33] What if i just want to update ffmpegj [21:33] mikedddd, if that fails remove it and install it. you houl have the new version. [21:33] sudo apt-get install ffmpeg [21:33] sudo apt-get install ffmpeg [21:33] ye [21:33] yes [21:33] DaGeed247 Thanks! [21:33] going to do it now. [21:33] Creo que no me gustó unity [21:33] Lo siento más pesado, estoy loco ? [21:33] Sverd_: Do you have flash 64 bit installed? or the default (which is 32 bit)? [21:34] Stereocaulon: well, i'm actually trying to compile android, but compilation fails with the same error [21:34] n-iCe: Stop that.

Anyway this is way offtopic for this channel. Care to join me on #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss this? [21:35] gunther44: just reinstalling something will very seldom help anything in linux [21:35] i love tylr [21:35] guntbert ^ is right. Configuration is key. [21:36] DaGeed247 Shows as the same version, i am going to remove then reinstall [21:36] Stereocaulon: sure [21:36] sugnaaaaaaaaaa [21:36] mikedddd, ok [21:36] gunther44, are you developing an app for android? [21:36] w [21:36] guntbert: crap :( i thought reinstallation was the magical fix ;) [21:36] alessandrodio: erm?

[21:38] hm. [21:38] Stereocaulon: that's so last year - check the offtopic room! [21:39] mikedddd, so it still runs? [21:39] Sverd_: I don't believe so, I didn't when I installed it and it fixed some of my issues. [21:39] yes, even after it returned that it was succesfully removed [21:39] Xylch: ok, then I just need to google how to use the .so file and im set to go :) [21:39] mikedddd, restart your computer then? [21:39] did [21:39] sugnaaaaaaaaaa [21:40] strange... could it be installed a different way? let me look. === robin is now known as Guest30147 [21:40] the php.ini shows it as installed in /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg [21:40] 11.04 is lame [21:40] mikedddd, try sudo apt-get purge mpeg [21:40] if i just delete that directory and reinstall, think that will help? [21:40] how the heck do i get a "pager" with unity [21:40] or th apps name [21:40] i want my multi desktops [21:40] !classic | Simkin [21:40] Pici: ? [21:41] mikedddd: how did you install that package? [21:41] I need a good and simple FTP server, any suggestions? [21:41] Simkin: Feel free to pick Classic Ubuntu from the login screen to get the old GNOME experience that you're probably used to. [21:41] hellp [21:41] fellas, is there a way to install Ubuntu to a usb flash drive and make it so that it will have the drivers to work on any computer i take it to? [21:41] hello* [21:41] Pici: is ther a wa to get the best of both worlds? [21:41] alessandrodio: stop it [21:41] or is unity doomed to fail? === Guest30147 is now known as LINUIX [21:41] i didnt it was a different admin, but id guess suda apt-get ffmpeg [21:41] in general, after i've installed ubuntu, how do i make it so that xwindows is gone and i just have the console? [21:41] Simkin, unity will be a success [21:42] ubottu: test [21:42] Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [21:42] @DaGeed trying suda apt-get autoremove ffmpeg [21:42] jibadeeha: not without a simple pager === TWINKIE_MURDERER is now known as apple-your-face [21:42] Rehan: You can throw a live CD on a USB stick. [21:42] jibadeeha: and why did they take away normal panels [21:42] jibadeeha: this is absolutely retarded. [21:42] looks like it si working, but i'll have to wait until it finishes. [21:42] Simkin, the pager is simple to use === apple-your-face is now known as apple-stinks [21:42] jibadeeha: window maker is better [21:42] mikedddd : so it is deb package not compiled [21:42] Simkin: stop that ranting please [21:42] I've upgraded to natty, and I'm getting grub rescue> now. one guid on the web says to sudo grub after booting off live cd, but I've got no such command [21:42] Xylch: any idea what folder its supposed to be in? [21:42] guide* [21:43] Xylch: hmm but i always have to choose the "try ubuntu" option then? i mean is there a way to install it on there but still have it be hardware agnostic [21:43] To this day i still do not understand why the clipboard in ubuntu has not been fixed yet. When i copy something from a program or window or whatever it goes to the clipboard-> good. But when i close the program or window....my copy is ALSO deleted from the clipboard...this is something which should have been fixed in alpha version 0.0.1.....but in ubuntu 11.04 it still exists. I am baffled! [21:43] i believe the initial repo was pointing to deb packages. [21:43] Simkin, i loved windowmaker about ten years ago, but things move on and it is no longer viable as a desktop replacement given it is a window manager [21:43] sort of new to this.. [21:43] mikedddd: try with sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq [21:43] help? [21:43] zvacet well, autoremove is working onw, will try that next. [21:44] Rehan: A normal install is hardware agnostic unless you install proprietary drivers. [21:44] Rehan: I don't think that is possible, but I can't be sure, there is a way to save settings between live cd sessions when using a USB stick, you would have to research it tho. [21:45] Rehan: If there is enough space just do a normal install to the USB as you would to an internal drive. [21:45] Could somebody help me with a sound problem? (PM preferred) [21:45] Jordan_U: oh wow ok i didn't know that. very cool. so if i do install proprietary drivers and then use it on a computer where the proprietary drivers aren't needed, will it work? Or say i go from a system that doesn't need pro drivers to a system that does? === ng_ is now known as NG_ [21:45] Jordan_U: yea i have 16gb on the pen drive [21:46] how do i keep bash from popping up on my netbook everytime i boot it up? it eventually goes to ubuntu, but it takes forever. [21:46] Sverd_: It depends on the browser you are using, just look it up on google, plugin location [21:46] Rehan: Then definitely go with a normal install, any other option would just lead to headache down the road. [21:46] @zvacet trying now. [21:46] Jordan_U: thank you, could I PM you? === student_ is now known as ScottIsABully [21:47] Simkin, just remember how many people hated Windows XP when it came out, and then how much they wanted Windows 7 to be XP when it came out [21:47] surely in the 1802 people there is someone who knows about this? [21:47] Rehan: Yes, but I prefer to keep support discussion in-channel. [21:47] Xylch: I did a locate :) [21:47] oh ok [21:47] 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 [21:47] jibadeeha: why [21:47] jibadeeha: that is totally irrelevent. [21:47] !grub2 | suigeneris [21:47] suigeneris: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[21:47] Simkin, explain how it is irrelevent [21:48] windows xp was a minor change on a proven user interface. [21:48] Simkin, hardly [21:48] !here | rezzy_ [21:48] rezzy_: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:48] unity is a whole new user interface [21:48] 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] 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] jibadeeha: whatever, the winxp interface is win95's interface [21:49] Simkin, winxp is not win95's interface [21:49] 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] jibadeeha: because this is support channel you can discus abiut ubuntu on #ubuntu-offtopic [21:49] jibadeeha: it is too. [21:49] jibadeeha: start menu, desktop. basics. it's all there. [21:49] Description of my problem: I can hear sound through my speakers (rear green output) but not through my headphones (front green output). [21:49] Is there an amd card that is fully compatible with linux? Or am I better off getting Nvidia? [21:49] Simkin, it isn't so .. anyway offtopic as mentioned by zvacet so best end it here [21:50] 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] jibadeeha: who decided to go the unity route? [21:50] i want to talk to them. [21:50] uabn93, nvidi prvides linux driers for it cards. [21:50] nvidia [21:50] Simkin, don't ask me gov [21:50] Jordan_U: i see. no way to "run" the ISO from my current install? [21:51] Rehan: Only using a virtual machine. [21:51] Jordan_U: ok, thank you === apple-stinks is now known as BIG_WORM_EATING_ [21:51] this is a test question - persons should ignore it. question? [21:51] Rehan: How much RAM do you have? === BIG_WORM_EATING_ is now known as apple-stinks [21:51] Jordan_U: 6GB [21:51] hi why does ubuntu give false readings of my graphics card ram? [21:51] Rehan: What is the output of "kvm-ok"? [21:52] so how does the pager work in "unity" ? [21:52] Jordan_U: not installed [21:52] Jordan_U: should i install it? [21:52] i can move things to other work spaces, but i don't know how to switch work spaces [21:52] I heard people say that they have their radeon cards running fine in linux. Is it recommended to get ATI? [21:52] 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] Rehan: Yes. [21:53] uabn93: some people recommend ati, they are jerks. [21:53] @zvacet Not working [21:53] uabn93: for linux, nvidia is the only good solution (with closed source drivers) [21:53] suigeneris: Did you see my responses? [21:53] i think it was installed via aptitude [21:53] 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] uabn93: the open source drivers just aren't there yet. [21:53] uabn93, works fine with my Intel G945 [21:53] @zvacet May explain the Debian packs. [21:53] Jordan_U: Your CPU supports KVM extensions. KVM (vmx) is disabled by your BIOS. [21:54] Jordan_U: sorry, just saw it [21:54] Lillymon, look into lubuntu for that system with 512mb. [21:54] Jordan_U: i know where to turn it on in my bios though [21:54] mikedddd: can you find that package in synaptic if you can try to remove it from there [21:54] its a lightweight alternative. [21:54] Rehan: If you can enable vmx in your BIOS then you can fairly easily do the install within kvm. [21:54] @zvacet how do i access synaptic, i only have command access [21:54] How can I view data going through my ad-hoc network? [21:55] honestly, i tried running ubuntu 11.04 on my p4 3.0g 1.2g of ram, and it ran TERRIBLE [21:55] 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] Jordan_U: very helpful. thank you. once i enable it in my BIOS what would I do? Is it a gui app? [21:55] lubuntu runs like a deram. [21:55] Casper76: i have it on two p4's right now, i agree, it is slower. [21:55] Casper76: When I saw the system requirements, the first thing I did was tweet about considering a switch to Xubuntu or Lubuntu. [21:55] mikeddd: gksudo synaptic [21:55] Casper76: disable all the eye candy and it's "bearable" [21:55] How easy is switching from Ubuntu to Xubuntu or Lubuntu? [21:55] 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] Trubuntu [21:55] 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? [21:56] mikedddd: didn´t knmow that sorry I don´t know how to help you [21:56] Rehan: No, no GUI (that I know of) for crazy things like this :) [21:56] ubuntu is awesome [21:56] For a new rig. [21:56] uabn93: i have that setup right now, works great [21:56] jibadeeha, maybe. [21:56] uabn93: six cores amd process + nvidia viid card. it's great :) [21:56] ah... thnaks..... [21:56] Casper76, what video card do you have [21:56] :) [21:56] 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] How do I change the Unity appmenu close/min/max to my themes default? [21:56] Simkin, Yeah, it was bearable but still slow. [21:57] rezzy_, which soundcard have you? [21:57] Casper76: i think we're asking too much of our p4's :) [21:57] jibadeeha, integrated intel chipset, cant think of the exact model off hand [21:57] 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] botcity: VIA VT2020 === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [21:57] mikedddd: try with apt-cache show to see is it installed [21:58] Jordan_U: ok, i can do that part with fdisk -l [21:58] Simkin: What kind of video card are ya using? [21:58] botcity: Integrated chip on the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula mobo [21:58] LjL: pm? [21:58] Just installed Natty (on Dell Dimension 9150 with NVidia graphics) - does not work - the unity UI comes up but accept no input [21:58] only works in "safe mode" it appears [21:58] not even in "classical mode" etc [21:58] Rehan: Then run "gksudo kvm /dev/sdX -cdrom /path/to/ubuntu.iso -boot d -m 2G". [21:58] !es | n-iCe, [21:58] n-iCe,: 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. [21:58] uabn93: nvidia gts 250 [21:58] jibadeeha, it ran terrible though. Even with classic mode withno effects! [21:58] guntbert: anytime [21:58] @zvacet it shows [21:58] but, lubuntu has saved me. I love it. [21:59] so how do we change workspaces in unity!? [21:59] Jordan_U: very cool. :) [21:59] Simkin, click on the workspaces icon [21:59] Ubuntu was 90% of the time using 100% cpu [21:59] @zvacet can it be native to Lucid? [21:59] can someone help me please with ubuntu ami on amazon ec2 [21:59] ? [21:59] Jordan_U: thank you again for all of your help. Going to try this out :) [21:59] 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] Simkin, it is an icon with a grid and when you hover your mouse over it it says Workspace Switcher [22:00] jibadeeha: doesn't exist [22:00] Jordan_U: will do [22:00] but i found the kb short cut ctrl-alt-right and ctrl-alt-left [22:00] jibadeeha: where is this mysterious icon? [22:00] is there a command to open the gnome2 menu, that I can then assign to a screen edge? [22:00] whats the -m 2G flag mean Jordan_U ? [22:00] 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] mikedddd: I´m sorry didn´t understand you [22:00] Rehan: Getting any device name wrong could have severe consequences. If this ends up killing your cat it's not my fault :) [22:00] Simkin, on mine it is the third one from the bottom [22:00] jibadeeha: bottom of what [22:01] @zvacet can it be native to Ubuntu 10.04.1 [22:01] test [22:01] Simkin, unity dockbar or whatever they call it [22:01] jibadeeha: ok, now i see it [22:01] 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] jibadeeha: this is retarded. [22:01] mikedddd: sudo dpkg --purge [22:01] 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] Simkin, howcome? [22:01] Rehan: Give the virtual machine 2 GiB of RAM rather than the default (I think 512 MiB). [22:01] . [22:01] jibadeeha: it's not even on the screen all the time, it doesn't have a preview [22:02] Jordan_U: thanks again, will be back in a bit! [22:02] Rehan: You're welcome. [22:02] anyone? [22:02] Simkin, yeah i miss the preview - just noticed that, so perhaps i didn't miss it that much [22:02] @zvacet hm... removing request to remove ffmpeg which isn't installed [22:02] experience with aws? [22:02] but apt show ffmpeg shows me the package [22:02] vorlov: #ubuntu-server and/or #ubuntu-cloud would be better places to ask. [22:02] Simkin: Btw, have you ever tried Dolphin Emu on your setup? [22:03] Pici: thank u much!! [22:03] mikedddd: try updatedb [22:03] Simkin, it is easier to use though by clicking on it and moving windows between desktops rather than working with a tiny preview pager as was the case in 10.10 [22:03] zvacet: it'll take a while, so wait [22:03] 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' [22:04] is there a way to copy-paste text o Xchat? [22:04] Braiam: yes,I know but maybe updating data base solve question [22:04] Osmodivs: Sure [22:04] osmodivs, ctrl+c to copy and crtl+v to paste [22:05] how can i get into my routers interface?

[22:06] stereocaulon, you'r enot suppose to say rtfm.... if you want to say that go to ##freebsd === keito is now known as lookatmybigreddo [22:07] Stereocaulon: yes,sure 8-) [22:07] takeshi I heard gnome3 + unity might cause problems [22:07] !gnome3 | takeshi [22:07] 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] Stereocaulon, XD NOTHING!! ROTFL [22:07] jibadeeha: my biggest problem with this new interface is you can't just browse all the apps [22:07] then i will wait for ubuntu 11.10 :P [22:07] jibadeeha: why did they take away the fold out menu!? [22:07] Thanks guys [22:08] Simkin, yeah i find myself having to depend on keyboard shortcuts and alt+f2 more often [22:08] 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 === lookatmybigreddo is now known as ChR0n05 [22:08] jibadeeha: yes, that's how i like to work too. [22:08] jibadeeha: menu is only useful when you want to "browse" [22:08] jibadeeha: and now it's gone! [22:08] so is there any way to get the menu to open in gnome2 by issuing a command? [22:10] pattysmatty, or 192.168.0.1 [22:10] Simkin, i never really liked gnome2 menus though [22:11] ChR0n05, yes, that is also used widely, though I 192.168.1.1 is more common for some reason... [22:11] my external USB hdd doesn't seem to get detected on ubuntu -- any ideas why? [22:11] Stereocaulon, last 3 routers I've had have been .0.1 [22:11] jibadeeha, I quite like gnome2 menu [22:11] jibadeeha: well it was better than what we have now. [22:12] this is unusable [22:12] oh well [22:12] Simkin, agreed [22:12] ChR0n05: you also feel this is a terrible move? [22:12] ChR0n05: to me, it's even worse than when kde went to kde 4.x from 3.5.10 [22:13] and that was seriously bad! [22:13] I don't like navigating my apps in such a way no [22:13] I really like gnome3's indicator [22:13] 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] Simkin, KDE 3.5.10 was sublime [22:13] HaHas anyone else had a problem with LibreOffice Writer being unstable? [22:13] I think the unity launcher should be movable and not always extend [22:13] jibadeeha: kde 4.x is getting there again.. but i'm starting to doubt it will actually make it there. [22:13] Is anybody here experienced with compiling software? I'm getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/602991/ [22:13] 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, yeah, depends on model. [22:14] using Banshee media player, connecting to DAAP server, when i exit the DAAP record is removed and i have to add again. how do i make it stay? [22:14] Simkin, i hope they get back on track ... another interface i really liked was Amarok 1.4 and then they ruined it with Amarok 2.0 .. not sure if that has improved, but wish they had left it alone [22:14] unity? [22:14] Simkin, I leep trying to like kde 4.6, but it's just too messy, configurations are all over the place [22:14] BlaDe^: after you plugged it try 'dmesg | tail' in a console. That may give you some information. [22:14] How do I disable Compiz in 11.04? [22:14] BlaDe^, does your drive show up in grep "USB" /var/log/messages [22:14] Kardos_, unity sucks!!! [22:15] really? [22:15] Kartagis, Unity sucks!!! [22:15] you needed to tell me that? [22:15] buck_work: Log in with "Ubuntu Classic (No Effects)" or "Unity 2D" [22:15] Kardos_, Sorry, wrong nick [22:15] * Kardos_ stuffs a dead hooker in Osmodivs's car === Kardos_ is now known as Kardos [22:15] Ahhhhh. [22:15] minimec nothing in dmesg about it [22:15] Stereocaulon messages doesn't exist on natty [22:15] Time for another logout then. Thanks, cheapie. [22:15] * ChR0n05 never gets any answers anymore [22:16] Osmodivs: what is it? apparently I don't have the hardware tu run it [22:16] I need desperate Ubuntu help [22:16] ask? [22:16] I'm having some severe video driver issues [22:16] BlaDe^, in that case my knowledge is outdated. Does it show up in lsusb? [22:16] I installed a driver for my ATI card last night via command line [22:16] !unity [22:16] Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com and http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ for more information. Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity [22:16] And, being a noob [22:16] Kartagis, I dunno, What happen? I just got here, tell me your problem [22:16] I want to know how to remove it [22:16] TheBritishEditor: What's wrong? [22:16] As it broke EVERYTHING [22:17] I just reformatted my ubuntu and still cannot access files on my secondary hd [22:17] !enter | TheBritishEditor, [22:17] TheBritishEditor,: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:17] Ubuntu on mac == trouble. :/ [22:17] TheBritishEditor: Is it a Debian package? [22:17] BlaDe^: if it is somehow recognized it should give you the /dev/sdX device. Is it possible to have external power for that hdd. Try that too. [22:17] can some one help me i have no border to close or minimize can some one help me fix it i have ubuntu 11.04 unity [22:17] ¡alsa [22:17] I'll remember to do that, sorry. [22:17] Osmodivs: I just upgraded to natty and when I rebooted, I got a message saying I don't have the hardware tu run unity [22:17] Greetings: for some reason PHP isn't updating on lucid lynx though I'm sure there's a newer version of PHP than 5.3.2 in the distro, how can I check for this? [22:17] It's a terrible habit of mine [22:17] Has anyone else had a problem with LibreOffice Writer being unstable? Possibly with OpenJDK? I'm wondering if it is my setup or an overall problem. [22:17] !info php5 | A-KO^ === andrewsmith1986 is now known as I_RAPE_CATS [22:18] A-KO^: php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.1 (natty), package size 1 kB, installed size 20 kB [22:18] Hi all, i'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto and getting a quite odd error: 421 4.3.0 collect: Cannot write ./dfp43LDkTX006283 (bfcommit, uid=0, gid=127): No such file or directory [22:18] A-KO^: you're right, there is 5.3.5. maybe you put it on hold for some reason and forgot? [22:18] (when I telnet to localhost/25) [22:18] minimec nope its a passport drive, completely usb powered === I_RAPE_CATS is now known as Guest91184 [22:18] LjL: nope, but how would I check that?. === Guest91184 is now known as andrewsmith1986 [22:18] TheBritishEditor: It's OK, as long as you try to remember not to... Now, as for that video driver, do you know if it was a Debian package (.deb file)? [22:19] A-KO^: tell me the output of dpkg -l php5 please [22:19] minimec /dev/sda, sda1, sda2 and sda5 exist [22:19] I don't know if it is or not [22:19] bikcmp: uid 0 and gid 127 can't write to that directory [22:19] I don't think it is. [22:19] AH THERE I WENT AGAIN [22:19] is gnome3 really not customizable? For instance, moving launcher panel, allowing multiple instances of something like chrome to be launched from launcher, etc? [22:19] Name php5 Version 5.3.2-1ubuntu4 Description server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language [22:19] I downloaded it as a .run file, made it an executable, installed it, and then everythings broken <_< [22:19] TheBritishEditor: that's a recipe for trouble :\ [22:19] Kartagis, That's a new one. [22:20] TheBritishEditor: Well, that's not good... [22:20] BlaDe^: that is probably your internal harddrive. It may be 'sdb' ... [22:20] 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] TheBritishEditor: I'll go do a bit of research and bet back to you. [22:20] 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] what graphics card? [22:20] Or go back to my cold, lonely Windows 7 installation who hides at the bottom of GRUB [22:20] Stereocaulon how do I get a list of usb devices? [22:21] how do I clear a file (nginx error.log file) ? [22:21] TheBritishEditor, did you try installing the driver from the repos? [22:21] BlaDe^, try lsusb [22:21] did that, only shows 4 hubs [22:21] ATI Technologies Inc RV770 [Radeon HD 4870] [22:21] my drive lights up so it definitely has power [22:21] and it works on windows [22:21] BlaDe^: External dardrives should be recognized without problem ... Should be recognized as mass storage device. [22:21] I tried the driver recommended to me from the driver manager [22:21] bencc, overwrite it? [22:21] A-KO^: err, i needed the first two letters at the beginning of the line [22:21] minimec it used to work on 10.04 [22:21] But it still breaks everything [22:22] TheBritishEditor, by break what do you mean, what exactly happens? [22:22] TheBritishEditor: wait to see if someone help you removing it and after that try to install from system>additional drivers [22:22] ¡drivers [22:22] :( [22:22] 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] TheBritishEditor: I found some instructions that might help. The first step is to run sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* [22:22] ChR0n05: I tried "sudo cat /dev/null > /usr/local/nginx/logs/error.log" but I'm getting "Permission Denied" [22:22] can someone explain to me how to move the launcher panel to the bottom of the screen in gnome 3? [22:22] 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] Stereocaulon it's a laptop, they're all on the side [22:23] Osmodivs: Did you mean !drivers? [22:23] bencc, the cat is run as root, the pipe however is run as your user [22:23] bencc, maybe nginx has a lock on it? I'm not that familiar with it [22:23] TheBritishEditor: now I see your above post sorry for been late [22:23] TheBritishEditor: Did you run that command that I told you to yet? [22:24] Ok, I ran that command [22:24] s3r3n1t7: do I need two sudo? [22:24] cheapie, Yeah. [22:24] bencc, try switching to root [22:24] TheBritishEditor: OK. Please wait a second. [22:24] bencc, sudo -i to create a root shell, execute the command without sudo, then logout of the shell again [22:24] Sure, take your time [22:24] BlaDe^, does a normal USB pen drive get detected, or another USB gizmo? [22:24] s3r3n1t7, or sudo su ? [22:25] Stereocaulon usb mouse works [22:25] ChR0n05, no, that doesn't setup his env correctly. -i makes sure it's done properly, check the sudo guides for that [22:25] 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] BlaDe^, so we can rule out an unsupported chipset then :-) [22:25] s3r3n1t7, so what does sudo su do then? I've used that to switch to root before [22:25] minimec it's a fresh install and has been rebooted once already [22:26] 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] ChR0n05 : sudo -i if you want to switch to root [22:26] TheBritishEditor: OK. Please run the four commands specified here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/602997/ [22:26] s3r3n1t7, good to know [22:26] BlaDe^: then again dmesg or dmesg |tail should give you some info aobut the device, after you plugged it. [22:26] I keep getting my wireless networks greyed out [22:26] zvacet, cheers ;) [22:26] BlaDe^, if what minimec says works, you might have a power issue when it comes to your USB ports. [22:27] 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] dmesg | tail doesn't show anything [22:27] ChR0n05: :) [22:27] I don't think it's a power issue, it works on windows... on the same laptop.. [22:27] *** dmesg | tail shows stuff about wlan but nothing when hdd is plugged/unplugged [22:27] when would one want to use sudo su then? === toddi is now known as xMartin [22:27] ChR0n05: never [22:27] BlaDe^, with both devices attached? Hmm... [22:27] cheapie: I'm getting "No such file or directory" with the first command [22:28] Stereocaulon: BlaDe^: That's what I was thinking too... --> power [22:28] jrib, why is it available then? [22:28] TheBritishEditor: That's OK. Just keep going with the others. Ignore any errors. [22:28] jrib, why not remove it as an option? [22:28] ChR0n05: what do you mean by "available"? jumping off bridges is available too... [22:28] ChR0n05, sudo su is not using an option. It's a program you're passing to sudo [22:28] jrib, i mean why does it do anything, there is obviously a reason for it [22:29] ChR0n05: sudo runs programs. su is a program [22:29] ChR0n05: that doesn't mean it's a good idea to run it [22:29] yeah, fair enough, just curious [22:29] chR0n05: seems like sudo su is not an appropriate topic of conversation here [22:29] Chipzzz, well we kind of arrived here, so now I'm curious [22:30] ChR0n05: to properly obtain a root shell you should use « sudo -i » [22:30] ChR0n05: It's like duct tape being able to hold things together. It just does that, it wasn't programmed to. [22:30] jrib, yeah that has been advised === adante_ is now known as adante [22:30] BlaDe^, try to see if the BIOS/(U)EFI detects your HDD as such, when you boot with both mouse and hdd attached. [22:30] * ChR0n05 would like to clarify, he doesn't need to use sudo su and hasn't done so [22:30] Chr0n05: I arrived at the same conclusion by the same method ;) [22:30] I wonder what's taking TheBritishEditor so long... [22:30] ChR0n05: you can use cat foo | grep bar too its available but stupid [22:30] BlaDe^: Do you have a powerd USB hub that you could connect between the HDD and the laptop? THat might also help. [22:31] minimec nope [22:31] hi all, I'm trying to figure out why my cpu is at 100% for the last hour. Xorg is using 44% and vino server is using 25% and I don't know why [22:31] cheapie: Got errors on every single one of those commands. [22:31] but it works on windows so it can't be a power issue, can it? [22:31] iceroot, I've seen tutorials from years ago that recommended using sudo su [22:31] TheBritishEditor: That's OK. Try rebooting and see if your issues go away. [22:31] ChR0n05: sudo su is the wrong way [22:31] Is there a way to remove memtest and the recovery kernel from the boot menu? [22:31] cheapie: Alright. [22:31] iceroot, those tutorials were probably wrong [22:31] ChR0n05: doesnt matter if some "noob" peolpe suggest sudo su [22:32] i've seen lots of tutorials use sudo gedit instead of gksudo gedit too [22:32] ChR0n05: i have seen tutorial using cat foo | grep bar too [22:32] 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] iceroot, lol [22:32] ChR0n05: real tutorials suggest sudo vim instead of sudo/gksudo gedit :) [22:32] hi [22:32] it's an amd chipset, Stereocaulon [22:32] Kartagis: 21:19:15 < Kartagis> bikcmp: uid 0 and gid 127 can't write to that directory [22:32] Kartagis: how can I fix that? [22:32] iceroot, no emacs [22:33] ChR0n05: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:33] * ChR0n05 ducks for cover [22:33] iceroot: I personally prefer nano, but whatever... [22:33] Let's not start an editor war... [22:33] cheapie: yeah, especially since nano actually has syntax hilighting [22:33] BlaDe^, AMD is quite general as well, but if it's a really new latop, well... [22:33] ChR0n05: but back to topic, sudo su is wrong because its setting the environment wrong [22:33] cheapie, yeah, I use nano when staying within the confines of a terminal [22:33] iceroot, yeah, I know that much, I mean to learn why it is wrong [22:33] BlaDe^, latop => la>p belak: I just like how much easier nano is to use. I have never managed to figure out vim. [22:34] zvacet has psoted a link for me [22:34] so, anyone know how to open gnome2 menu via a single command? [22:34] cheapie: personally I like vim. It's amazing, but the learning curve sucks. [22:34] plus i can't move my windows [22:34] Hi there. I'm using NVidia on Natty Narwhal, and the world appears to be crashing down on me. Can someone help? [22:34] 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? [22:35] 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] cheapie, just remember that nano is not available by default on all *nix systems, vi is, to my knowledge. [22:35] cheapie: http://unix.rulez.org/~calver/pictures/curves.jpg [22:35] Like.. remember back in the days of AUTOEXEC.BAT? [22:35] belak: The only editor I use besides nano is emacs, and that's just for dunnet... Anyway, yeah, that's a little off topic... [22:35] gkx, have you upgraded your drivers? [22:35] I don't know how. :) Or, at least, I tried and it didn't seem to work. [22:35] gkx: What's happening, exactly? [22:35] jeez. I am so hating unity. [22:35] what would be the "equivalent" of AUTOEXEC.BAT in Ubuntu? === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [22:35] Hey... can someone help me? Just tried installing 11.04 on my intel macbook... it froze, rebooted it... now it wont install ubuntu, and the windows partition gives a blue screen and won't boot. [22:35] minimec ok np [22:36] RavenHursT: rc.local? [22:36] belak, lol [22:36] cheapie: I load Natty Narwhal off of dual boot, and it gives me a black screen [22:36] !classic | AdmV0rl0n [22:36] AdmV0rl0n: 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. [22:36] gkx: After or before you log in? [22:36] cheapie: I'm running failsafe graffics right now [22:36] Before [22:36] bindi: ok.. let me check that out.. btw.. rc.. is that the same acronymn that's used in .bashrc? [22:36] hello everybody [22:36] gkx: Are the drivers installed? [22:37] Which drivers? [22:37] Hi ErikM_ :-) [22:37] RavenHursT: probably, i havent bothered to look up what they even mean :p [22:37] gkx: Well, does anything show up in the additional drivers window? [22:37] bikcmp: you may want to ask in #postfix or #ubuntu-server === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [22:38] cheapie: It's really hard to work with my graphics right now. Everything is in the wrong resolution, which is a graphics problem I struggled with on a regular basis on 10.10 [22:38] does any one know any workaround for the nvidia driver issue being installed but not in use? :) [22:38] cheapie: So, to answer your question, I can't quite access that [22:38] I am hating banshee, any idea how to make i tunes podcasts work? [22:38] ErikM_, did you check under System => Administration => Extra drivers? [22:39] gkx: Can you press Alt+F2 and type jockey-gtk, and press enter? [22:39] Stereocaulon: jepp... 173 installed and not in use, even if I switch to the newest one... same result [22:40] cheapie: Did so now, it didn't appear to do anything. [22:40] bindi: Found it.. "Run Commands" or RUNCOM... http://pastebin.com/eL4rsxvG [22:40] gkx: As in nothing appeared? [22:40] Yes [22:40] ErikM_, did you reboot after installing the proprietary drivers? [22:40] gkx: Are you typing on the computer with the problem? [22:40] RavenHursT: cool :) [22:41] cheapie: Yes [22:41] Stereocaulon: jepp, after every new install, no effect [22:41] gkx: Do you have another computer available? [22:41] ErikM_, which GPU do you have? [22:41] tenochslb: those podcast you are suscribed in itunes surely have a web, and an atom/rss feed you can suscribe to [22:41] cheapie: Yes. [22:41] how many people in here want to "sudo aptitude purge unity" ???? [22:42] gkx: Do you think you can go to that computer and chat from there so we can switch to text mode on this one? [22:42] unity is really beginng to bug me in a irky way.. [22:42] !ot | lapion [22:42] lapion: #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! [22:42] Stereocaulon: GeForce 9500GT [22:42] Yeah, let me just figure out how to IRC on a mac. :P Shouldn't take too long [22:42] ErikM_, Hmm, how did you go about in installing the drivers? [22:42] xangua, that is totally ontopic for ubuntu.. [22:43] gkx: Try webchat.freenode.net [22:43] lapion: The topic is Ubuntu *support*. [22:43] lapion: This is a support channel, not somewhere for complaining. [22:43] Any help on installing Java on Ubuntu 10.10? [22:44] cheapie: Hurrah! [22:44] gkx2: Are you on the working computer now? [22:44] dfclark_, What flavour of Java do you want to install? [22:44] jdk 1.6 [22:44] yes [22:44] cheapie: Yes [22:44] well how do I purge unity out of natty without uninstalling the whole ubuntu package.. or how can I modify unity to suit my own way.. [22:44] the ubuntu scrolling bar has changed. i liked the hidden bar. === gkx2 is now known as gkx [22:45] !ubuntu-desktop | lapion [22:45] lapion: k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [22:45] that is ubuntu-desktop [22:45] Stereocaulon: applications > system > additional drivers > there are 2 driver versions - 173 and version current), klicking of the one NOT activated starts the install, after installing andd verifying it being installed and activated I reboot as prompted [22:45] gkx2: OK. On the broken computer, press Ctrl+Alt+F1. It should prompt you for your username and password. [22:45] xangua, yes but then what is the point of having an add a podcast button on Banshee. Plus i am trying to add the podcast to my mp3 player. [22:46] so if I uninstall ubuntu-desktop I should be abole to safely purge unity without par default uninstalling all other ubuntu-desktop packages ? [22:46] when u have 400w power supply [22:46] along with 2 dual monitors all energy efficient on 24/7 [22:46] gkx: I see you changed your username on me... anyway, on the broken computer, press Ctrl+Alt+F1. It should prompt you for your username and password. [22:46] what's cost of uphold? [22:46] Considering upgrading to newest version of Ubuntu, but was wondering what [22:46] pattysmatty: This is for the Ubuntu OS, not computer companies that make computers with it. [22:47] ErikM_, does gksudo /usr/bin/nvidia-settings give an error, or does it display the nVidia control-panel? [22:47] 's the status with X. Heard they considered replacing it, but really like it... [22:47] lapion: ubuntu-dektop is just a metapackage, will do nothing if you uninstall it [22:47] lapion, you can switch to ubuntu-classic in gdm as well (just log out) or install some other DE/wm such as kubuntu-desktop [22:48] 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] 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] Stereocaulon: brings up the nvidia X server settings [22:48] !java [22:48] dfclark_: or you could have installed it from repository [22:48] 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] since unity seems to be the default canonical UI from now on, it might be wise to keep it around [22:49] dfclark_, openjdk-6 should install just fine or are you trying to install (gasp...) Oracle JDK 1.6? [22:49] what command shows main menu in gnome2? [22:49] ChR0n05, alt-f1 [22:49] trentg, terminal command ;) [22:50] 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] 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] Oracle (nee Sun) JDK. Should I use something different on Ubuntu? [22:50] how cute i get tossed into a channel automatically [22:51] 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] 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] takes half an hour of my time.. [22:51] Stereocaulon: 173.14.30 but if it is in use, why is the system so damn slow? :) [22:51] teemo: htop [22:52] 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] teemo: Or top, ps, pgrep, pstree, and some more [22:52] Someone wanna help me with a problem burning CD / DVD? [22:52] !ask | sburwood1 [22:52] 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. :-) [22:53] Thank you, to all [22:53] Stereocaulon, you can allways install the oracle sun version by enabling restricted/non-free software [22:53] shcherbak, any of those GUI? [22:53] 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 === Haxbeertje is now known as Gerwin [22:54] I've been trying to burn CDs, both images (Natty) and data disks. I keep coming back with unknown errors (254, for example) [22:54] teemo: Nope, htop is very easy, but you have menu > system > Admin > System monitor (with gui) [22:54] 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] Stereocaulon: you are on 11.04 and the driver is working properly on your side? [22:54] the disks aren't burnt. Why? === brianl is now known as brianl|a [22:54] teemo: Are you on Unity? [22:55] lapion, on 10.10 that option did not work for me. I got stuck in dependency hell, in spite of the .deb package. [22:55] Is there anyone that is using the Iwl3945 driver with Aircrack-ng on Natty [22:55] Stereocaulon: oh, looks like I am not the only one : http://askubuntu.com/questions/37084/nvidia-driver-activated-but-currently-not-in-use [22:56] someone use ekiga here? [22:56] 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] 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. [22:57] RavenHursT: cp -r ? [22:57] Stereocaulon, the ubuntu software center should install it.. [22:57] Stereocaulon: ok, I first upgrade from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04, then because of unity installed Kubuntu on same partition freshly.... [22:57] Has any one been able to enable rgba true in Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity? [22:57] how can i rearrange things on the new ubuntu launcher sidebar [22:58] Aginor: isn't that effectively the same thing? `cp -R * /tmp` ? [22:58] Stereocaulon, just type jdk into the search of ubuntu software center [22:58] teemo: Click and hold the icon you want to re-arrange, then drag (after it pops off the launcher). [22:58] RavenHursT: cp -r /directory/with/dots/ /to/ [22:58] lapion, I will once I'll need to develop another Java program ;-) === leonidas_ is now known as Guest47945 [23:00] shcherbak: but I don't want to copy the parent dir.. I want o copy it's contents.. there's no way to do that w/o first copying the dir as a whole? [23:00] I am having trouble with SAMBA after upgrading to 11.04 [23:00] can anyone tell em how to enable adding and removing plugins from the unity panels ? [23:00] same smb.conf file [23:00] ? Has any one been able to enable rgba true in Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity? If so please IM me thank you [23:00] RavenHursT: seeing your last statement [23:00] 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] RavenHursT: cp -r .??* * [23:00] I get error messages like: cannot retrieve sahre list form server [23:00] how to make desktop icon of my favorite apps? [23:00] Aginor.. lmtt [23:01] RavenHursT: it wasn't clear that you didn't want to copy the first directory [23:01] lapion, If I spoke freely about that company, I would be unable to keep this channel civilised and family friendly :-P [23:01] Stereocaulon, simply edit the source and remove the checks for jdk version [23:02] RavenHursT: lmtt? [23:02] Aginor: Awesome!~ That worked! [23:02] thnx [23:02] how to make desktop icon of my favorite apps? [23:02] Aginor: Let Me Try That [23:02] Stereocaulon: back in a minute, restart computer [23:02] lapion, I can try that next time I'll need it. Thanks again for the suggestion :-) [23:02] hello [23:02] Aginor: So why doesn't cp confuse the second '*' with being the dest? [23:02] how to make desktop icons of my favorite apps on Natty Narwhal? [23:03] Anyone knows if sugarsync or dropbox works well in Ubuntu? [23:03] Aginor: didn't know you could just keep listing files to copy like that.. [23:03] is there any way to install ubuntu on my windows xp pc without partitioning my hard drive but without internet [23:03] RavenHursT: you can use "shopt -s dotglob"; now globbing with "*' will include hidden files [23:03] bibleboy: pre download iso, same directory as wubi, then wubi [23:03] 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? [23:04] thanks:-D [23:04] skybound.. thnx.. Aginor just gave me a good command for cp: cp -r .??* * [23:04] Does anyone have a fix for the crappy VNC over 11.04? [23:04] will ubuntu run on 512 mb [23:04] 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] bibleboy: but you will need some internet source for the iso ofcourse [23:04] wait what do you mean smae directory [23:04] RavenHursT: you can, and the last one is always the target [23:04] bibleboy: 512 is fine, though personally i'd use lubuntu, xubuntu or start from server for reducing all unneccessary 'weight' [23:04] !requirements | bibleboy [23:05] bibleboy: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [23:05] in 10.10, how do I add something to the Addplication/Graphics Menu ? [23:05] bibleboy: in the same folder as the wubi installer [23:05] gridbag: Run alacarte, that is the menu editor application name. [23:05] 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] i have a win 7 pc with internet but want to install it on my old win xp along with xp [23:05] ok ill try that [23:06] Aginor: you rock.. thanks man [23:06] my iso cd has wubi on it do i need internet for that or can i just use that [23:07] i have no sound with ekiga....anyone use it? [23:07] Aginor++ [23:07] do need internet to install wubi from my ubuntu cd i made from the iso [23:08] it has wubi on it [23:08] because i dont feel like having to start my live cd in persistent mode every time [23:08] RavenHursT: happy to help :D [23:09] consolecowboy: i think you'll get more answers when you try to explain what you are trying to do; i still don't get what you are asking; cursor in any (focused) window? [23:09] Can you download without entering password? [23:09] my ubuntu cd has a wubi installer on it. do i need internet to use it [23:10] Enjoying the niceness of 11.04, but I'm not getting the multiple workspaces. I've got this workspace switcher that lets me look at other desktops, but I don't know how to move windows beteen them. I miss my desktop cube.... [23:11] i can switch workspaces fine [23:11] bibleboy: How? [23:11] just click and drag afaik [23:12] skybound: yes, so if i'm typing anywhere, text editor, browser, i can hit a key that will run a little script. first thing i need it to do is 'highlight' the word that has just been typed [23:12] well you may have had a problem installing ubuntu or its a bug. I am using the live cd [23:12] i'm aiming for a text replacement tool [23:12] Stereocaulon / minimec here? [23:12] (used snippits but can't install in 11.04) [23:13] It says new high speed usb device using ehci_hcd and address 68 [23:13] usb-storage etc etc [23:13] can i install ubuntu using the wubi on my cd i made from the iso file off the site. [23:13] Anyone know why VNC is unusable in 11.04? It worked fine for me in 10.04 [23:13] but it doesn't show up anywhere? doesn't seem to mount [23:13] hello [23:13] BlaDe^, nice... [23:13] how to make desktop icons of my favorite apps on Natty Narwhal? [23:13] Stereocaulon any ideas why it isn't mounting now? [23:13] idk i am new to ubuntu 11.04 i have only used 10.10 [23:13] scsi10: usb-storage 2-2:1.0 --- but no mount [23:13] would do you speak russian? [23:14] could some1 answer me [23:14] BlaDe^, well, that's a start, mounting is the next step. Please pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l [23:14] ((( [23:14] I must learn english( [23:14] yes u must [23:14] does anyone know how to get tray icons to show? [23:15] Stereocaulon http://pastie.org/1862149 [23:15] use ubuntu classic man)) [23:15] how to make desktop icons of my favorite apps on Natty Narwhal? [23:15] would do you like 11.04 ? [23:16] hmm let me think xsinick [23:16] in russia people dont like unity)) and many people back to 10.10 or 10.04 [23:16] Hello [23:16] hello [23:16] is Gnome 3 even an option in Natty, or does that need to be installed manually from source? [23:16] Tomas just use Ubuntu Classic [23:16] Tomas: if you don't likie unity you can run classic mode rather than switching back to 10.10 [23:16] Geoffrey2 it has to be done manually [23:17] xsinick: if the application is in the menu, you can right click and 'add this launcher to desktop' [23:17] I'm trying to make an liveCD, but the save to thing doesn't work to the cd I put in. [23:17] i think [23:17] Geoffrey2: from ppa [23:17] Geoffrey2: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-GNOME-3-on-Ubuntu-11-04-194085.shtml [23:18] for the live cd try just burning the ubutnu iso to a cd. thats the way i made my live cd im running right now [23:18] BlaDe^, Hmm, I see...the device gets detected, as usb-storage even, but it does not even show up on the list of all partitions (both mounted and unounted) :-S [23:19] BlaDe^, unounted => umounted [23:19] Stereocaulon so what's the next step? [23:19] I can't find the cd to burn to. [23:19] U doesn't see it. [23:19] anyone knows some good organizer/planer? not devolution [23:19] 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] Can I install Ubuntu from the Wubi on my Ubuntu installation cd without using internet. [23:19] 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 [23:20] i know doent it feel like that. I want gnome back instead of unity. [23:21] bibleboy: select classic from the session drop down on the login screen and you will have gnome back [23:21] kaie, FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU [23:21] !language | Belial` [23:21] Belial`: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [23:21] BlaDe^, This could point to the possibility of a partition table that is somehow unreadable by your installation, though I admit that this is a long shot indeed... [23:21] can i do that from the livecd cause` thats what i use. I dont have natty installed anywhere [23:21] hallo, i'm installing "Zentyal" Ubuntu and get during the installation proces an errormessage. It's free translated from german.. [23:21] Stereocaulon it's literally a brand new installation done about 3 hours ago [23:22] 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] consolecowboy: i see; didn't know snippits, that actually worked? i don't know about any such program, sorry [23:22] BlaDe^, is the HDD encrypted in any way, like with Bitlocker or something similar? [23:22] Hey, I'm trying out the cloud demo online [23:23] Could'nt find an installable Kernel in the APT-Sources [23:23] Is that time remaining thing there just for looks? [23:23] hi i have a "trojan.exe" and i want to see the source code of exe file.. is there any program in linux that can help me? [23:23] It hasn't moved or changed since I logged in [23:23] my big issue right now is that, on my desktop with an external monitor, dmesg output is total garbage..... [23:23] kaie, you still using elementary? [23:23] hmm try reinstalling ubuntu kaie. u may have 2 start using 11.04 [23:23] bibleboy, my data partitions are gone [23:24] Stereocaulon nope it's not [23:24] um make an installation cd and repartition from the installer [23:25] 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] youll lose everything though [23:25] I run dmesg | more, and all I get is screen after screen of error messages [23:26] hello, i'm installing "Zentyal" Ubuntu. During the installation process i receive the following errormessage. (free translated from german..) [23:26] Could'nt find an installable Kernel in the APT-Sources [23:26] bibleboy, I know how to start from scratch, but I wonder if that is a known problem. I can't believe going to sleep and wakeup can delete all my partitions [23:26] How do I make the command line ssh send keep alive packets? I keep getting disconnected [23:26] probably not. [23:26] Hello [23:27] U may have gotten one of the RARE linux viruses [23:27] UndiFineD: so if they have been able to make the pixel changes always fit the TCP frame, why is it never refreshing as I move my mouse over the frame? [23:27] Anyone know why VNC is unusable in 11.04? It worked fine for me in 10.04 [23:27] I need this ? answered now. can i install wubi from the wubi on my ubuntu 11.04 installation cd without an internet connection. [23:29] :) [23:30] bibleboy: why not just properly partition your drive, and install it from a cd? [23:30] i dont want to lose windows [23:30] Hello people... I am having problems with Unity: I get many visual deffects, including stripes, white zones, etc. [23:30] bibleboy: you won't lose windows if you pay attention.. [23:30] My video: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650 [23:30] 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. [23:31] 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] I want to do wubi so i can get rid of it easy [23:31] 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] 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] ive used wubi before so i want to use it again [23:31] bibleboy: wel, good luck. [23:32] ive done it before no problem [23:32] bibleboy: and i've done it multiple times, w/ several problems.. so.. i guess we just have different experiences [23:32] I use an uninstaller program to uninstall [23:32] 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] what windows did you use [23:33] well i had one problem [23:33] i didnt have enough space on my HD [23:33] but that was it [23:33] skybound: right, thanks, i'll see what i can find [23:33] nothing other [23:33] so i guess ill just try [23:34] see ya [23:34] Stereocaulon --- it shows up in lsusb too [23:34] Device 069: ID ....... [23:35] BlaDe^, yes, so it should, it registers even as an usb-storage device. I'm grinding my brains here why it does still not show up in sudo fdisk -l [23:35] ill reboot and test [23:35] all I want to do is move a file from one laptop to another [23:35] BlaDe^, don't please test the following first... [23:36] it's gonna take 6 hours via wifi [23:36] Stereocaulon it's already rebooting [23:36] BlaDe^, Yes, that would be silly indeed. [23:36] BlaDe^, you are chatting on a different computer than the one you are debugging, right? [23:37] hi [23:37] Stereocaulon yes [23:37] is any one use ing the new unity thing? [23:37] Stereocaulon it's just booted up, nothing has been plugged in yet [23:37] Is there a way to remove memtest and the recovery kernel from the boot menu? [23:39] belak, memtes can be "not shown" from sudo gedit /etc/default/grub [23:39] 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] coz_: gksudo :) [23:40] belak, if you open that file... near the middle of the list,, you will see several lines starting with "#Uncomment". [23:40] Ah, ok [23:40] Thanks! [23:40] belak, read them carefully to see what options you have by Uncommenting any of the lines [23:40] How do I remove or unhold "held packages?" It's preventing me from upgrading [23:40] !pin | beanstalk [23:40] 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] beanstalk: this tells how to unpin them, too [23:40] bastidrazor: thanks, I'll take a look [23:41] I see disable_recovery bit I don't see anything for memtest [23:42] bastidrazor: except it doesn't say how to find out which packages are being held. do you know how to do that? [23:42] belak, mm I thought there was one for that,, well.. probably the best thing to do is go to the #grub channel as well [23:43] belak, between the two channels ,, someone should have a good solution with grub2... i am not an expert with it yet [23:43] Ok, thanks [23:44] belak, in /etc/grub.d "sudo chmod -x 20_memtest86+" [23:44] Ah, I just set 20_memtest -x [23:44] belak, there is a little utility name "grub-customizer" I have NOT tested it at all will try now [23:44] ZykoticK9: nice timing. :P [23:44] How do I find out which packages on my system are being held? [23:45] 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] 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 [23:46] BlaDe^, please excuse my spelling. It's all over the place: additons => additions. [23:46] beanstalk: what makes you think packages are being held back? pinning is a manual step, it isn't something that automatically happens. [23:47] 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] 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] 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] Stereocaulon no problem hold on while I go through that [23:48] There's an abi change with nouveau... and there's a different package that I think needs to be installed? [23:48] Hi guys. I have one little problem. I'm unable to install gnome tweak tool [23:48] Stereocaulon usbcore says it registered new interface driver ums-cypress [23:49] Stereocaulon it says eery few seconds: [23:49] reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 [23:49] said that 4 times [23:49] then, scsi 6:0:0:0 Device offlined - not ready after error recovery [23:50] [*| NOTICE |*] STARTING JUNE 1ST FREENODE WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU CONNECT TO IT.

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] Stereocaulon did you see that, above all the spam? [23:50] BlaDe^, That reset is not good. [23:50] any ideas what would cause it ? [23:51] I sudo chmod 7777 [23:51] BlaDe^, my first suggestion would still be lack of power, even though Windows will be able to use it just fine. [23:51] Stereocaulon this is a different HDD now [23:51] has its own power supply -- it's a caddy. just foudn it [23:51] the last one is probably lack of juice as you said [23:52] was a passport drive so entirely usb powered [23:52] Hi. I have problem installing gnome tweak tool [23:52] How I could fix this? [23:52] Osmodivs, you need to use a -R to recurse subdirectories if you want everything under /amsn to take on the new properties [23:52] BlaDe^, so this output is registered with another drive ?! [23:53] 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] can i fix somehow [23:53] Stereocaulon yeah [23:53] Stereocaulon the first one was a 250GB passport drive, nice and portable, wasn't detected AT ALL so likely power issue [23:54] 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] How do i install a .bin file? I have adobe reader file for linux which is .bin [23:54] kevin_, Like: sudo chmod 7777 -D /usr/share/amsn [23:54] gedO, gnome tweak tool for gnome 3 ? >> https://live.gnome.org/GnomeTweakTool [23:54] multipass_ ubuntu has a pdf reader already [23:54] 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? [23:55] BlaDe^, yeah.. wish i could use it, but the work i do needs these special comment things etc [23:55] Stereocaulon heheh yeah, I only have one usb cable :) [23:55] can't be the only one who's asked... How do I get a taskbar back in 11.04? [23:55] bean_: type apt-cache policy ...the last line will say Pinned packages:: and thus list them [23:56] multipass_: are you talking about a bin and cue file? [23:56] 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. [23:57] multipass_: Do *not* try to install Adobe reader that way. [23:57] the file is "AdbeRdr9.4.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin" [23:57] ah ok, :b [23:57] 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] BlaDe^, is your mouse a plain vanilla mouse, or is it a gaming mouse which lots of thingamabobs? [23:57] multipass_: 1, you can install adobe reader through apt-get, and maybe even the software center [23:58] multipass_: Open Ubuntu Software Center and search for Adobe Reader. [23:58] yeah you are right, thanks... idk why i didnt try that first [23:58] multipass_: 2, the only reason to use adobe-reader is if you need to fill out PDF forms. [23:58] Kyle__, i had trouble selecting and copying text with the default app [23:58] is that possible? [23:58] 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] Stereocaulon mouse isn't plugged in [23:58] only used it to test the port [23:59] BlaDe^, You see...I'm clutching at straws here O_o [23:59] 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] Stereocaulon no problem. It's getting late now, I'll copy it via wifi overnight.. 6 hours.. lol [23:59] 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] Stereocaulon thanks a lot for your help! Appreciate it [23:59] 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.
