| BigMig | I updated Ubuntu using the updater from the last verision to Natty Narwal and after update all I seeis 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 | 00:02 |
| Captainkrtek | Angelic, use Yelp | 00:02 |
| Stereocaulon | BlaDe^, it is indeed getting late (1:00 AM here), so I'll follow my plan and I'll head for my bed now. Good luck resolving this. Could be a partially supported chipset or another device that is somehow interfering. | 00:02 |
| Captainkrtek | Angelic, there is already a guide for resolving network issues | 00:02 |
| zizban | /usr/share/sessions ? | 00:02 |
| Angelic | where? | 00:02 |
| Captainkrtek | Angelic, open a terminal, type yelp | 00:02 |
| freeman_ | i am running ubuntu 64 bit on my single processor netbook. should i worry or is it ok? | 00:03 |
| CodeGnome | BigMig: You mean your desktop is hosed, or what? | 00:03 |
| soreau | zizban: That directory doesn't even exist. I would assume it would be some file in /etc | 00:03 |

| rednammoc | little question about booting my encrypted hd during boot. i added a line to /etc/crypttab and another to /etc/fstab. During boot it asks about the hd. Pressing 'M' i get to manual mode. ls /dev/mapper/ --> the hd is not mapped to this folder. manually steps like: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb my_map; mount /dev/mapper/my_map /media/the_map -- are working. any ideas what's wrong :-? | 00:04 |
| happolati | Google Earth has caught signal 11. | 00:04 |
| BigMig | no i dual boot and just ubuntu is screwed | 00:04 |
| Captainkrtek | Angelic, Ill try to help you, what's the issue? | 00:04 |
| soreau | happolati: Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to pastebin.ca | 00:04 |
| CodeGnome | BigMig: That's kind of vague. Screwed how? | 00:04 |
| Angelic | Captainkrtek: Well, its seeing the wifi networks but the wifi networks available is showing in grey. | 00:04 |
| Captainkrtek | Angelic, have you tried disabling-re-enabling your adapter | 00:05 |
| Captainkrtek | just uncheck the box "wireless networking" then re-check it | 00:05 |
| zizban | soreau, I have /usr/share/xsessions | 00:05 |
| BigMig | after boot it shows blinking icons and doesnt let me do anythinh | 00:05 |
| linuxman410 | does anyone know of a linux program that will clone my harddrive so i do not have to reload when i change the harddrive | 00:05 |
| Angelic | Captainkrtek: Tried, still the same result. | 00:05 |
| Captainkrtek | Angelic, is this new? | 00:06 |
| Captainkrtek | Angelic, or did you just upgrade to natty | 00:06 |
| freeman_ | i am running ubuntu 64 bit on my single processor netbook. should i worry or is it ok? | 00:06 |
| BigMig | it worked before the update | 00:06 |
| Angelic | Captainkrtek: Its new. | 00:06 |
| soreau | zizban: That appears to contain the session files, but not the config file to select which it's using | 00:06 |
| BigMig | perfectly | 00:06 |
| Captainkrtek | Angelic, install any new software? is this a new adapter? | 00:06 |
| geus | Angelic, maybe you accidentally turned of wireless by means of fn+f2 or a switch/button on the side? | 00:06 |
| CodeGnome | BigMig: You can try a couple of things. Do a cold boot; Windows can hose firmware. If it's just your graphical desktop that's hosed, you can delete your gnome directories and try with a fresh desktop. | 00:06 |
| BigMig | my question is where to find out how to fix it without downloading a disk and reinstlling | 00:06 |
| zizban | soreau, right. Does it show all the sessions? | 00:06 |
| Angelic | Captainkrtek: Lastly I put quite a few updates on it. | 00:06 |
| soreau | zizban: yep | 00:06 |
| Captainkrtek | Angelic, open Synaptic file manager | 00:07 |
| Captainkrtek | then go File -- History | 00:07 |
| CodeGnome | BigMig: So, GDM doesn't show up at all after booting? | 00:07 |
| zizban | so you select Unity, log out, login and it doesn't change? | 00:07 |
| Topy44 | ok, never mind my flow control problem from before... i have a windows app that uses the serial port which works fine on windows, but in wine it can send but not receive data. sending data works, and other windows apps in wine (like putty for example) work fine too. | 00:07 |
| BigMig | no all i see is my desktop backround and blinking icons | 00:07 |
| Angelic | geus: Its an IBM R32. | 00:08 |
| BigMig | if by cold boot u mean manually resetting the computer and selecting the kernel i do that | 00:08 |
| Angelic | Captainkrtek: Done. | 00:08 |
| Topy44 | minicom on the same serial port at the same time recieves the data fine, but it somehow never reaches the windows app in wine | 00:08 |
| CodeGnome | BigMig: Fine, so you're actually booting and getting a desktop. Try CTRL-ALT-F1 to get a TTY, log in, and remove your desktop folders: | 00:08 |
| Glycan | How come, with a WUbi install, I hav e0 bytes left on \, but 24GB on \host? | 00:08 |
| Captainkrtek | Angelic, go to file --> history | 00:08 |
| tepster | cold boot = power computer off | 00:08 |
| zizban | soreau, check and see if you have a /etc/gdm/custom.conf | 00:08 |
| CodeGnome | BigMig: .gnome/ .gnome2/ .gnome2_private/ | 00:08 |
| Glycan | And how do I reloacate said memory? | 00:09 |
| Angelic | Captainkrtek: I am in there and now I see all the history. | 00:09 |
| BigMig | thanks i will try that | 00:09 |

| Captainkrtek | okay, find anything related to kernel updates or your wireless card? | 00:09 |
| soreau | zizban: Yes | 00:09 |
| CodeGnome | BigMig: Hope that helps. | 00:09 |
| zizban | soreau, Is is this a new install or upgrade | 00:10 |

| ceed^ | I have my disk partitioned with a / partition and an encrypted /home partition. Before I encrypted /home I updated by deleting everything in /home except for data and format and install on /. Can I do that with an encrypted /home? | 00:10 |
| zizban | soreau, sounds like something went wrong during install. | 00:11 |
| Captainkrtek | donkeyinspace, #ubuntu-devel | 00:11 |
| Captainkrtek | Angelic, hold on | 00:11 |
| donkeyinspace | Captainkrtek , thanks | 00:11 |
| bazhang | Glycan, you want to resize / on wubi ? | 00:11 |
| Captainkrtek | donkeyinspace, no problem | 00:11 |
| soreau | zizban: I doubt it. The classic session worked the first time but since switching to 'ubuntu' and back to 'classic ubuntu' now both load unity | 00:11 |
| rednammoc | ceed^: you deleted everything except for data ? | 00:11 |
| Glycan | Yes. | 00:12 |
| Glycan | bazhang: yes | 00:12 |
| bazhang | Glycan, there's a special tool for that | 00:12 |
| Glycan | What is it? | 00:12 |
| soreau | zizban: I just want to know what happens exactly (or what's supposed to happen) when switching sessions | 00:12 |
| soreau | zizban: I assume some config file is changed but I have no idea where that might be | 00:13 |
| Captainkrtek | Angelic, can you try and find the package for your wireless card? | 00:13 |

| rednammoc | ceed^: what do you meen by saying you deleted everything except data on /home ? | 00:13 |
| ceed^ | rednammoc, yes all the settings for programs and such, but kept all my data like docs music pics and such. That's been the way I've upgraded Ubuntu for years. Now I had to encrypt /home, so I wonder if I will be able to access the old encrypted /home after an instll on /? | 00:13 |

| rednammoc | ceed^: mounting the encrypted root-partition on boot works but you have problems by mounting the encrypted home-partition? | 00:15 |
| puff | I've tried to install ubuntu on this old dell poweredge three times, with two different releases (10.4 LTS and 11) and the altenrate install CD. Every time, it gets halfway through the install, and the screen freezes. | 00:15 |
| bastidrazor | puff: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep lm :if you get any output you have a 64 bit capable processor | 00:15 |
| puff | bastidrazor: Okay, so it's *not* 64-bit... | 00:15 |
| zizban | soreau, you know it might be controlled by $GNOME_PREFIX/share/gdm/defaults.conf | 00:16 |
| zizban | I'm not sure though | 00:16 |
| georgie | hello | 00:16 |
| rednammoc | ceed^: mounting the encrypted root-partition on boot works but you have problems by mounting the encrypted home-partition? | 00:17 |
| ceed^ | rednammoc, I do not have any problems now. When I upgrade Ubuntu I use custom partitioning. I format / and install on it. I do not format /home which is where I keep all my data. That worked fine when I didn't have /home encrypted. Now I do, so I wonder if the installer will recognize the encrypted /home partition? | 00:17 |
| ceed^ | rednammoc, the only partition which is encrypted is /home. | 00:17 |

| Glycan | Why won't ubuntu recognize my cds? | 00:21 |
| zizban | I dont think so | 00:21 |
| w30 | drmorphias, make sure you read the buttons right, my drivers are green button and gray button; confusing | 00:21 |
| zizban | I think it just makes a playlist | 00:21 |
| happolati | soreau: Ok, here it is: http://pastebin.ca/2053648 | 00:21 |
| victorhugo289 | Zizban, I don't think so either, but I just wanna make sure before I click on "Import" | 00:21 |
| drmorphias | w30, yeah it shows a green icon. confusingly enough, unity works when ubuntu claims the driver isnt in use (ugh) | 00:22 |

| w30 | drmorphias, if you can run the program gears then the driver works | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | drmorphias: If unity3D is working then you're using the proprietary nvidia drivers. | 00:24 |

| Jordan_U | w30: Incorrect. glxgears can be runwith the software renderer. | 00:24 |

| Joker_77 | some of the program guis wont ajust for this screen size | 00:24 |

| ray24 | If an external hd was originally formated on a windows, it should be able to on linux? | 00:25 |

| Ziber | Would anyone be able to venture a guess as to why skype makes my laptop run really hot (~90C) but is fine otherwise (ubuntu 10.10)? | 00:25 |
| rednammoc | ceed^: to manually mount your home-partition you need to edit /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab | 00:25 |
| w30 | Jordan_U, how do you get Unity to run at login? | 00:25 |
| victorhugo289 | Great! | 00:25 |

| zizban | Glycan, gotta be a little more specific than that | 00:26 |
| geus | ray24, what message do you het? | 00:26 |
| Glycan | Ubuntu doens't see my CDs. That's it. | 00:26 |
| ray24 | "error creating filesystem" | 00:26 |

| Joker_77 | should just show up on the desktop | 00:26 |
| ceed^ | rednammoc, so what you're saying is that installer won't recognize the encrypted partition as such even if I set it as /home with the manual partitioner in the installer? | 00:26 |
| Glycan | When I trry to do "Write to disc" on some file, with a cd, I closes. | 00:26 |

| Glycan | It opens a prompt the first time you put in a CD, but not the next times for the same CD. | 00:27 |

| rednammoc | ceed^: maybe there is a dialog where it say's: "can't read that device/partition -> wanna format" | 00:29 |
| user10213 | what is swap space? :D | 00:29 |

| geus | glad it worked out | 00:38 |
| zizban | bull9408, why do want to do that? | 00:38 |

| eiriksvin | is there a way to use gnome3 in 11.04 Classic? | 00:39 |
| comthre3 | can someone help me with transmission pleaase? | 00:39 |
| bull9408 | I had installed it to use conky, however I changed my mind because I don't want conky on this system now. It has messed up splash screens on start up and shut down. and a few other graphical issues | 00:39 |
| quant | eiriksvin, there is a way to install Gnome Shell and Gnome 3 which breaks Unity | 00:39 |

| Cporter | unfortunately I wouldn't know how to do that without messing it up. The problem is i keep getting an error sayingno root file system. but it works with the laptop fine | 00:40 |
| ututu | tsrk, np | 00:40 |
| zizban | bull9408, if you installed it via apt, just go to Synaptic and uninstall it | 00:40 |
| quant | eiriksvin, Classic is Gnome 2 | 00:40 |
| Joker_77 | thats what i said ziz | 00:41 |
| comthre3 | quant transmission wont work, tried to delete the config folder, nothing, the ports are all set and open, the router is configured, Vuze started working now, but not transmission | 00:41 |
| bull9408 | didn't know synaptic recognized if i installed through terminal | 00:41 |
| minarge | @fennucci before logging in you can change the session to ubuntu classic | 00:41 |
| zizban | Joker_77, had back turned, eating | 00:41 |
| zizban | bull9408, it does | 00:41 |
| quant | comthre3, what exact problem are you getting? | 00:41 |
| zizban | eiriksvin, try Unity2D ;-) | 00:41 |
| bull9408 | zizban, good deal, thanks man | 00:41 |
| zizban | bull9408, my pleasure | 00:41 |
| comthre3 | quant, its simply not downloading/uploading anything, not even connecting to peers/seeds host unreachable, on all torrents | 00:42 |
| donkeyinspace | hello, where can i talk about compiling? | 00:42 |
| bull9408 | zizban, actually I'm now seeing that I had not downloaded python, it's integral to ubuntu, well, unity... | 00:42 |
| Joker_77 | hello world | 00:42 |
| quant | comthre3, do you see it open the torrent file? | 00:42 |
| bull9408 | zizban, here's the command I put in terminal: $sudo apt-get install aptitude python-statgrab ttf-droid hddtemp curl lm-sensors conky-all | 00:42 |
| bull9408 | $sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp | 00:42 |
| bull9408 | $sudo sensors-detect #answering | 00:42 |
| fennucci | eh minarge | 00:42 |
| tepster | donkeyinspace: #ubuntu-dev i believe | 00:42 |
| comthre3 | quant, the torrent file loads, but gives a 0 0 peers seeds doesnt connect to anyone | 00:43 |
| zizban | bull9408, unless you are crunched for disk space, don't worry a bout those. they're harmless | 00:43 |
| minarge | ah sorry does @<username> send a private message? | 00:43 |
| bull9408 | ok. | 00:43 |
| Joker_77 | idid u autoclean? | 00:43 |
| quant | comthre3, check more torrents and check all the setting (maximum and minimum dowload and upload limit etc.) | 00:43 |
| bull9408 | zizban, any clue about what messed up my splash screens | 00:43 |
| Eyes_Only | Hello everyone, I need some help with keyboard mapping and manually altering what keys do. | 00:44 |
| zizban | bull9408, what splash scrren? | 00:44 |
| comthre3 | quant, did that, tried 13 torrents from different sites, all working in vuze non in transmission | 00:44 |
| eiriksvin | is unity 2D gonna give me that little glow around my windows, and make my menus and windows tranpsparent? | 00:44 |
| minarge | quant whats wrong with your keys? | 00:44 |
| puff | Can anybody help me get ubuntu installed on this machine? | 00:45 |
| eiriksvin | cus thats what i want, i like my inside veiw desktop box too | 00:45 |
| puff | It keeps freezing halfway through the install. | 00:45 |
| bull9408 | zizban, well I'm referring to them as splash screens, the "Ubuntu" screen with the "....." when you are starting up and shutting down. They just kinda go black and do some crazy pixelation, thing. not really sure | 00:45 |
| zizban | eiriksvin, I'm not sure. My untiy 2d install is that work | 00:45 |
| Eyes_Only | minarge: ae you talking to me? | 00:45 |
| zizban | bull9408, did this start after you installed that software? | 00:45 |
| bull9408 | yes | 00:45 |
| Veloce06 | I'm trying to mount a backup .img file getting the error /dev/loop0: can't read superblock. This is from a clonezilla backup of an XFS partition. What is this error telling me? Google didn't give me anything either. | 00:46 |
| Joker_77 | ziz get him to start with a autoclean to see if its leftovers | 00:46 |
| zizban | let me scroll up and see what you installed | 00:46 |
| zizban | Joker_77, ah yes | 00:46 |
| eiriksvin | is it possible to get gnome3 on 11.04? | 00:46 |
| LjL | eiriksvin: it's possible, but it will break Unity and quite possibly other things, and it's unsupported | 00:47 |
| geus | comthre3, you do have a static IP address? | 00:47 |
| comthre3 | geus, yes | 00:47 |
| zizban | bull9408, you can try autoclean. sudo apt-get autoclean | 00:48 |
| geus | ports forwarded on router? Firewalls? firestarter/ufw? | 00:48 |
| Angelic | Captainkrtek: I managed to find the package and had to transfer it via usb to install it and it did but still no wifi. | 00:48 |
| comthre3 | geus, all open, no firewall | 00:48 |
| Captainkrtek | Angelic, not sure, never had an issue like this :/ | 00:48 |
| Angelic | Captainkrtek: It'll detect the wifi networks but the wifi networks come in greyed out. | 00:48 |
| bull9408 | zizban, says it's unable to find package "autoclean" | 00:48 |
| eiriksvin | crap, is there anything else i can do for classic... other than be stuck with what little compiz offers? | 00:48 |
| geus | tried alternate ports? 16881-16891 instead of 6881-6891 | 00:49 |
| quant | eiriksvin, what are you referring to as "classic"? | 00:49 |
| comthre3 | geus, hmmm,, nop didnt try that, let me give it a whire! | 00:49 |
| comthre3 | wait!!! | 00:49 |
| comthre3 | it started working now!!!!!!! when i ran it as sudo it started downloading! | 00:49 |
| Angelic | Anyone knows a fix to wireless networks being greyed out in the wifi list? | 00:49 |
| eiriksvin | Ubuntu (Classic Session) when you choose your session at the login creen at the bottom | 00:50 |
| geus | hmm, that's ermm not good | 00:50 |
| geus | shouldn't need root priviliges | 00:50 |
| zizban | bull9408, it's part of apt-get. it should just be "sudo apt-get autoclean" | 00:50 |
| geus | probably will work as "normal" user now too | 00:50 |
| Angelic | Anyone knows a fix to wireless networks being greyed out in the wifi list? | 00:50 |
| comthre3 | geus, i know,,, it was a hailmerry sorta thing and it worked.. let me check running as normal use | 00:50 |
| bull9408 | zizban, ok, it ran... well, the command ran without errors. | 00:51 |

| === Maahes_ is now known as Maahes | ||
| zizban | bull9408, yup so it found nothing. That was a long shot. Try uninstalling everything you installed, what you listed | 00:52 |

| Angelic | eiriksvin: Not sure I know its an IBM 32* not sure of the hardware | 00:52 |

| tensorpudding | fizyplankton: you don't really need to know about runlevels, but they are different configurations for the init program, which chooses what to start at boot | 01:23 |
| Eyes_Only | ngc604: airo is a professional networking solution, it isnt a standard belkin wireless thing you can pick up at wal-mart for $30 | 01:23 |

| robin0800 | bull9408, alsamixer in a terminal | 01:24 |
| Eyes_Only | Angelic: what about dmesg | grep wi | 01:24 |
| tensorpudding | fizyplankton: ubuntu uses upstart, which replaces (to an extent) the old way of doing things involving runlevels, but it still have runlevels, it's just that people don't really mess with them anymore | 01:24 |
| ngc604 | bull9408, system > preferences > sound > input and make sure the right intup is selected and it is not on mute | 01:24 |
| bull9408 | ngc604, the correct input is selected, and not on mute | 01:24 |
| robin0800 | Angelic, is it usb? | 01:24 |
| tensorpudding | fizyplankton: one corresponds to a single-user mode, one to shutdown, and runlevel 2 is the one for normal activity in ubuntu | 01:24 |
| bull9408 | but all i'm getting is static | 01:24 |
| OY1R | anyone ? | 01:25 |

| tensorpudding | fizyplankton: there's others that can be defined but nobody uses them | 01:25 |
| ngc604 | bull9408, try robins idea of alsamixer. didn't know that was there. mic option is on the end | 01:25 |
| robin0800 | Angelic, then lspci should find it | 01:25 |
| fogobogo | Eyes_Only: why not just change the keys then | 01:26 |
| tensorpudding | fizyplankton: adding the 2 in that line just means that the gdm isn't run on runlevel 2, which is the default runlevel for multi-user, graphical mode | 01:26 |
| bull9408 | ngc604, I'm playing with it now, didn't know it was there either | 01:26 |

| tensorpudding | eje211: don't suppose you installed gnome 3 from a ppa or anything? | 01:52 |
| Paolo_CT | tepster: Im really thinking of going back to 10.10, but I kinda like unity as a concept | 01:52 |
| Paolo_CT | :( | 01:52 |
| flodine | i tried both drivers | 01:52 |
| w30 | tensorpudding, I can't get unity as default, I have to restart window manager after I log in | 01:52 |
| ngc604 | bull9408, is the volume on the mic up at 100% | 01:52 |
| tensorpudding | flodine: i used to get that bug once in a while | 01:52 |
| eje211 | This is the first time I've used Gnome at all. So far I've been faithful to KDE. So no. | 01:52 |
| tepster | Paolo_CT: I found that upgrading causes more bugs. When i do a new install, it was much more better | 01:52 |
| tensorpudding | flodine: does the windows key still bring up the launcher? | 01:52 |
| bull9408 | ngc604, yes | 01:53 |
| w30 | tensorpudding, I have two ubuntu choices, actually 3 | 01:53 |
| tensorpudding | eje211: it could be a bad mixing with kde and unity, but i doubt it | 01:53 |

| eje211 | tensorpudding: I'm just wondering where to look for the cause. There must be a log file with the answer, but I'm not sure where to look. | 01:53 |
| ngc604 | bull9408, maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1651779 post #6. just make sure to back up files before you edit them | 01:54 |
| tensorpudding | eje211: maybe /var/log/dmesg | 01:54 |
| tensorpudding | eje211: if it's a problem with drivers | 01:54 |
| eje211 | tensorpudding: I looked, but found no error. | 01:54 |
| eje211 | tensorpudding: Nothing obvious, at least. | 01:54 |
| Paolo_CT | tepster: Wow, this is annoying, empathy is not working right with my netbook resolution. | 01:55 |
| Paolo_CT | You have a good point, will try with a fresh install | 01:55 |

| magn3ts | Does anyone have GNOME 3 working in Natty? Every time I try to install it, it blows up and wrecks all my DEs. | 01:56 |
| ngc604 | bull9408, what does lspci | grep Audio get you? | 01:56 |
| tensorpudding | magn3ts: given that it requires different versions of important libraries to be installed, you probably can't do it | 01:57 |
| bull9408 | ngc604, |spci| ? | 01:57 |
| eje211 | tensorpudding: could this be it, it looks innocent enough: svc: failed to register lockdv1 RPC service (errno 97) | 01:57 |
| tensorpudding | eje211: i think that's related to nfs? | 01:58 |

| dios_mio | hey toph! | 01:58 |
| tensorpudding | eje211: don't know why that would cause your problem | 01:58 |
| ngc604 | bull9408, type lspci | grep Audio in terminal and paste the results | 01:59 |
| bull9408 | dios_mio, it did the same thing for me. I think i ran reset --unity in the terminal | 01:59 |
| dios_mio | thanks bull | 01:59 |
| bull9408 | ngc604, I thought that was a |spci| not lspci. | 02:00 |
| ngc604 | bull9408, also, under alsamixer hit f4 and make sure the input is on internal mic. Does the mic 3.5mm headset plug option work? | 02:00 |
| tensorpudding | mtelesha: what's gmd? | 02:00 |
| eje211 | tensorpudding: I'll continue investigating. Thanks. | 02:00 |
| bull9408 | ngc604, lspci | grep audio gave no results | 02:01 |
| bull9408 | and I don't have a mic to plug in to the 3.5 input | 02:01 |
| ngc604 | bull9408, do you have sound comming from the speakers? | 02:01 |
| bull9408 | ngc604, yes | 02:01 |
| Eyes_Only | bull9408: lspci = ls pci = lst pci | 02:01 |
| Eyes_Only | bull9408: list pci* | 02:02 |
| tensorpudding | mtelesha: is this on ubuntu or ubuntu classic session? | 02:02 |
| bull9408 | Eyes_Only, i gotcha, I just read it as (pipe) spci (pipe) instead of an L at the beginning | 02:02 |

| acfrazier_ | Alright. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my desktop PC, and all I get is a blinking cursor upon reboot. Same deal with both the LiveCD and alternate install CD | 02:05 |
| acfrazier_ | How can I fix this? | 02:05 |
| ngc604 | bull9408, try switching it to front mic then back to internal | 02:06 |
| bull9408 | I did | 02:06 |
| andygraybeal_ | i just booted 11.04 offa usb disk for a test run. it didn't load the new interface automatically, is this expected? in otherwords, do i have to install it onto my harddrive to see the new interface. ... or did my computer not work with the new interface and it reverted back to normal gnome? | 02:08 |
| andygraybeal_ | i was looking forward to seeing the new interface after the big stink everyone has made about it. | 02:09 |
| tensorpudding | it's possible that it won't load in the default installer session | 02:09 |

| tensorpudding | nvidia should work with unity fine if you have a modern card | 02:10 |
| Cerda | andygraybeal_ probably not, nvidia should be better but maybe it has something to do with the live system | 02:11 |
| andygraybeal_ | tensorpudding, it's a pretty modern computer. we bought it last year, lenovo t410 | 02:11 |
| andygraybeal_ | Cerda, aah okay the live system | 02:11 |

| andygraybeal_ | thanks for helping me clear that up | 02:11 |
| fogobogo | Guest71831: try? | 02:11 |

| andygraybeal_ | tepster, how new is your machine?? | 02:12 |
| tensorpudding | Guest71831: you'll have to check the version of mono that is included, and see if it supports .NET 4 | 02:12 |

| tepster | ya thats pretty slick laptop | 02:22 |
| xsinick | josefig: you have tyo be root to make a desktop shortcut | 02:22 |
| tepster | so thin | 02:22 |
| zenocon | SSD, boots to desktop in like 15-20s | 02:23 |
| tepster | SSD is uber | 02:23 |
| josefig | xsinick, I am a root, but I mean, I dont want mongodb starts at the beginning because I only use it to develop and sometimes I use it in only 2 projects. | 02:23 |

| xsinick | how do you add a shortcut icon on the desktop of Natty Narwhal? | 02:24 |
| cornell | Hi... I'm using chromium with ubuntu and of a sudden it seems every page has a banner complaining that adobe flash is out of date. I'd've thought that the update manager would take care of that. Anybody else experience this? | 02:24 |
| zenocon | xsinick - right click -> create launcher... | 02:24 |
| trism | josefig: is this on 11.04? | 02:25 |
| LittleRed | Omega: that's what I was thinking, but loading drivers is a pain... even though I'm getting good at it | 02:25 |
| xsinick | I'm on 11.04 | 02:25 |
| xsinick | yes | 02:25 |
| xsinick | :( | 02:25 |
| Omega | LittleRed: loading drivers? | 02:25 |
| xsinick | how do you add a shortcut icon on the desktop of Natty Narwhal? | 02:26 |
| LittleRed | Omega: I have a nvidia cardd and I had to manually upgrade the driver with the last 2 releases | 02:26 |
| tensorpudding | xsinick: did you not read the message i sent you | 02:26 |
| zenocon | xsinick: i am using 11.04 too, just right click desktop, create launcher... follow dialog | 02:26 |
| xsinick | tensorpudding: yes but that does work | 02:27 |
| Omega | LittleRed: Check if the LiveCD works, also you might want to file a bug about that | 02:27 |
| tensorpudding | xsinick: all the launchers that the launcher/menu/applications things use are in /usr/share/applications, choose which ones you want and copy them into the desktop | 02:27 |
| bull9408 | how do I modify the notification area in 11.04? | 02:27 |
| josefig | trism, yes it is :) | 02:27 |
| xsinick | oop | 02:27 |
| xsinick | oops I see it | 02:27 |
| LittleRed | Omega: someone had filed a bug on it already, so I didn't bother.Never tried LiveCD | 02:28 |
| tensorpudding | xsinick: make sure you're copying them; the default is move, which won't work because you don't have permission to delete files from taht directory | 02:28 |
| trism | josefig: echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/mongodb.override; that should do it, it should only start when you run: sudo service mongodb start; | 02:28 |
| zenocon | so, what is the official name of the launcher bar on the left side of the screen, and why does it behave so strange (i.e. auto-hides sometimes, sometimes not) | 02:28 |
| Omega | LittleRed: if the livecd works, you know that the drivers are fine | 02:28 |
| bull9408 | how do I modify the notification area, and panels, in 11.04? | 02:28 |
| nutsfornatty | zenocon: that is unity, and you can change the settings using compiz settings manager | 02:28 |
| === wolf is now known as wolf__ | ||

| zenocon | i'm also seeing weird issue in natty. if i mouse over window title bar, and click touchpad, i expect to be able to drag, but it won't. i can drag if i double click title bar and move touchpad. haven't figured out why yet | 02:30 |
| tepster | and if you install the compiz manager, you can make the launcher do all sorts of flashy things like giggle or flash. | 02:30 |
| zenocon | yea, i have ccsm installed, and messed with some things already | 02:31 |
| xsinick | you should not have to go in the usr/ bin/ crap to get that stuff working | 02:31 |
| tepster | the only weird issue i had was using it with google chrome..sometimes it doesn't register that i have it open | 02:32 |
| nutsfornatty | same here @ tepster | 02:32 |
| xsinick | you should not have to go in the usr/ bin/ crap to get that stuff working | 02:32 |

| zenocon | bigeye: try <Alt><Tab> to nav through open applications | 02:36 |
| LittleRed | Ah there is a kow issue with the nvidia card drivers... have to install a package before the last reboot to resolve it | 02:37 |

| bull9408 | crap | 02:38 |

| eiriksvin | <bull9408> just search for the app, run it the right click on it and check the keep in luancher | 02:38 |
| bull9408 | not in the launcher, I want them on the notification areal | 02:39 |

| bull9408 | trism, haven't tried it yet. might later. just up-ed to 11.04 today | 02:41 |
| anthonyl | oh i didn't know this was a G rated channel! | 02:41 |
| fogobogo | anthonyl: just gimme here ip and ssh pw and i will uhm... fix it | 02:41 |
| bigeye | tepster: I think it is different b/t minimized and going to background. In previous ubuntu, xchat window went to tray when I closed window. | 02:41 |
| LittleRed | bull9408: how did you upgrade it? | 02:42 |
| trism | bull9408: the notification area is still there though, but most apps are blacklisted by default, you need to add apps to the whitelist for them to appear | 02:42 |
| bull9408 | trism, yea, i just saw it. | 02:42 |
| Thedemon007 | Hello | 02:42 |
| eiriksvin | <anthonyl> uh what is wrong? | 02:42 |
| bull9408 | LittleRed, due to a bunch of completely unrelated issues, I acutally installed a new hard drive today, and in the process installed 11.04 | 02:42 |
| bigeye | tepster: But I can't find tray bar in 11.04.. | 02:42 |
| Thedemon007 | How do I update my ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 from an iso or live usb? | 02:42 |
| eiriksvin | <Thedemon007>hi | 02:42 |
| LittleRed | bull9408: did you use LiveCD? | 02:43 |
| Dryfyre | Hey does anyone use 10.04 and have problems with webcam, compaq mini 110 is my pc | 02:43 |
| anthonyl | to much to say, freezes on startup | 02:43 |
| tepster | bigeye: oh. i'm not sure. im not using 11.04 at this time | 02:43 |
| bull9408 | LittleRed, yes. | 02:43 |
| anthonyl | did you add evil to the distribution when you were packaging it this time? | 02:43 |
| anthonyl | or just fail | 02:43 |
| anthonyl | <3 | 02:43 |
| zenocon | bigeye: try <Alt><F2> -> gnome-panel | 02:43 |
| bull9408 | LittleRed, well, I used A live CD, i'm not sure if you are reffering to a specific program | 02:43 |
| LucyIntheSky | just updated to natty and my panels are transparent, panel settings shows nothing about transparency... | 02:43 |
| anthonyl | anyway now i've got to install windows all night it's very lame | 02:43 |
| eiriksvin | <Thedemon007>be careful if you have gnome3 or anything like that you dont want to update | 02:43 |
| fogobogo | dunno. i just use arch | 02:43 |
| LittleRed | bull9408: what kind of laptop... no liveCD was what I'm looking for... | 02:44 |
| dagon | how do i get advanced | 02:44 |
| bull9408 | LucyIntheSky, have you checked ccsm under the Ubuntu Unity settings>experimental>panel transperancy | 02:44 |
| fogobogo | anthonyl: intel gpu? | 02:44 |
| econdudeawesome | Howdy all. My GUI is busted. I removed KDM, because it randomly started popping up in place of GDM, and only a Kubuntu session would start, regardless of sessions selected. | 02:44 |
| econdudeawesome | Any ideas? | 02:44 |
| anthonyl | nvidia | 02:44 |
| fogobogo | hhmm | 02:44 |
| bull9408 | LittleRed, I have a Fujitsu with a 64 bit Intel processor, what do you have? how weren't any of them what you were looking for? | 02:44 |
| Thedemon007 | create a live usb of ubuntu 11.04 from the creator of ubuntu 10.10 but to run it it not gives me the option to upgrade my ubuntu 10.10 | 02:44 |
| anthonyl | its stuck on TiMidity start actually | 02:45 |
| === cpatrick08 is now known as cpatrick008 | ||
| fogobogo | anthonyl: oh. if thats all | 02:45 |
| LittleRed | bull9408: I have a 64 bit Sony... | 02:45 |
| eiriksvin | <anthonyl>use the 173 driver if your having freezing ussues | 02:45 |
| anthonyl | is there a solution? | 02:45 |
| anthonyl | she may love me again if i fix it | 02:45 |
| tepster | anthonyl: nvidia RIVA or Vanta? | 02:45 |
| fogobogo | anthonyl: sure. just switch the runlevel and disable it | 02:45 |
| LucyIntheSky | bull9408, I see no experimental category | 02:45 |
| econdudeawesome | when I run startx the gui starts, but its like running ubuntu with Unity removed | 02:45 |
| ozfalcon | How do i remove env variables permantly? I can unset them, But when I log back in they are back. I can't find any location they are set in .bashrc or local home. Does not set for a different user. So is user related. | 02:45 |
| anthonyl | groann | 02:45 |
| bull9408 | LittleRed, just download Ubuntu 11.04 for 64 bit operating system, mount the .iso to a CD, and voila. | 02:45 |
| bull9408 | LucyIntheSky, it should be a tab. | 02:46 |
| tepster | I'm guessing it's an nvidia Riva TNT | 02:46 |
| LittleRed | Bull9408: I have always just upgraed from the update manager, so I was looking for people who used the CD to do the update... | 02:46 |
| fogobogo | anthonyl: timidity is just a crappy software midi card anyway | 02:46 |
| bull9408 | LittleRed, i didn't update through CD, was a fresh install, I think I updated from a CD a longg time ago, not sure though. | 02:46 |
| anthonyl | it looks like I was once again wrong to blame someone else for my problems | 02:46 |
| dagon | this latest version is absolute garbage | 02:46 |
| anthonyl | but.. | 02:46 |
| pattysmatty | how do we know that evolution mail isn't malware | 02:46 |
| anthonyl | that won't stop me from doing it again | 02:46 |
| LittleRed | bull9408: that makes sense with the new hard drive | 02:46 |
| econdudeawesome | is there a way I can specify which session to use with the "startx" command? | 02:47 |
| anthonyl | is there a TiMidity i can vent on? | 02:47 |
| bull9408 | LittleRed, yup, I still haven't upgraded my other systems yet though. | 02:47 |
| pattysmatty | econdudeawesome, i thnk 7 or 8 is good | 02:47 |
| sary | Thedemon007:thats how you make a fresh install , you can upgrade from-in ubuntu 10.10. | 02:47 |
| dagon | wtf i can scribble code with a crayon on a Denny's napkin that would run better | 02:47 |
| econdudeawesome | pattysmatty: what? | 02:47 |
| LittleRed | bull9408: think I'm going to try my desktop first.... I can't live without my laptop for very long | 02:47 |
| jrib | econdudeawesome: didn't you ask this yesterday? And I suggested you setup your ~/.xinitrc? What's wrong with that? | 02:47 |
| fogobogo | anthonyl: should be | 02:47 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: different computer, different situation | 02:48 |
| anthonyl | I'm going to to take a picture of my girlfriend , find their mailing list | 02:48 |
| fogobogo | anthonyl: however, i suspect it to be a ubuntu packaging bug | 02:48 |
| anthonyl | and put.. | 02:48 |
| eiriksvin | <anthonyl> go to additional drivers and switch to 173, trust me its nVIDIA acting up | 02:48 |
| anthonyl | "This girl now hates you | 02:48 |
| pattysmatty | econdudeawesome, nvm i thought tty | 02:48 |
| anthonyl | " | 02:48 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: I set up the ~/,xinitrc just fine for that computer | 02:48 |
| jrib | econdudeawesome: ok, ignore the first question... why can't you use ~/.xinitrc? | 02:48 |
| zenocon | what is up with ubuntu software center; try to install skype, "available from natty-partner source", button: Use This Source, click...nada. doesn't work, can't install. have to go add sources manually? | 02:48 |
| anthonyl | oh! | 02:48 |
| econdudeawesome | pattysmatty: all good | 02:48 |
| LucyIntheSky | bull9408, sorry Guess im on xfce, do you know how I can make it normal again | 02:48 |
| nutsfornatty | 11.04 making too many people rage in chat :( | 02:48 |
| snail | anyone understand fonts? what fontdo i need for http://www.signbank.org/swis/iswa/cat_1.html ? | 02:48 |
| pattysmatty | how do we know evolution mail doesn't steal your email accounts etc? | 02:48 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: not sure--my gdm disappeared (I was using it on this computer). | 02:48 |
| Thedemon007 | I don't want to do a new installation sary | 02:48 |
| bull9408 | LucyIntheSky, make what normal? | 02:48 |
| AliciaTheBunnyRa | hey boys | 02:48 |
| jrib | econdudeawesome: so you want to use gdm? | 02:48 |
| Paolo_CT | Wow, definetly, I needed a fresh install, now almost every bug I was having is gonne (Upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 gave me way to many bugs) | 02:49 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: I would LOVE to use GDM :-) | 02:49 |
| Thedemon007 | As does the installer to detect that I have installed ubuntu 10.10? | 02:49 |
| jrib | econdudeawesome: what happens when you execute « sudo service gdm start »? | 02:49 |
| tepster | Paolo_CT: good to hear! | 02:49 |
| LucyIntheSky | bull9408, my panels | 02:50 |
| shcherbak | pattysmatty: There is source to read, you can compile yourself if you wish. Idea of open source is that it is open to read and modify. | 02:50 |
| sparrW | How can I get a taskbar or move the dock to the bottom and un-autohide it in 11.04? | 02:50 |
| nutsfornatty | thedemon007: the installer will detect your OSs. in case if 10.10 you have the option to upgrade | 02:50 |
| tom11 | sorry quick/dumb question...I'm upgrading to 11.04 from 10.10 and got the question "what do you want to do about modified configuration file grub?"....i dual boot with windows 7 so can i just keep my local version? thanks | 02:50 |
| bull9408 | LucyIntheSky, are you still running 10.10 | 02:50 |
| AliciaTheBunnyRa | any1 want 2 cyber | 02:50 |
| sary | Thedemon007: Alright, then for more information on how to upgrade | 02:50 |
| Thedemon007 | may not detect it because I have archlinux and this governs the mbr and grub | 02:50 |
| Paolo_CT | tepster: THe ALT+TAB works, the problems with empathy are gonne, but I still got a problem with the tild in the unity search | 02:50 |
| AliciaTheBunnyRa | who wants to cyberfuck my tight cunt? | 02:50 |
| sary | Thedemon007: yes i does. | 02:50 |
| AliciaTheBunnyRa | yeaaaaa | 02:50 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: it starts gdm :-D | 02:50 |
| LucyIntheSky | bull9408, no upgraded to natty | 02:50 |
| pattysmatty | shcherbak, how do we know that the packages aren't corrupt | 02:50 |
| Paolo_CT | tepster: Anyway, now I will install, Im running it in test mode | 02:51 |
| shcherbak | AliciaTheBunnyRa: Wrong channel? | 02:51 |
| tepster | Paolo_CT: Hmm..I havent tried that..i'm not on ubuntu right now | 02:51 |
| sary | !upgrade | Thedemon007 | 02:51 |
| ubottu | Thedemon007: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 02:51 |
| dagon | this release is a waste of time | 02:51 |
| bull9408 | LucyIntheSky, what exactly is wrong with the panels? | 02:51 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: how do I ensure this works the next time I reboot? | 02:51 |
| AliciaTheBunnyRa | k shcherbak thanks for ruining the mood | 02:51 |
| LucyIntheSky | they are both transparent even though I told it not to touch my config | 02:51 |
| dagon | Ubuntu I'm very dissapointed | 02:51 |
| jrib | econdudeawesome: did gdm ever start? | 02:51 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: yes | 02:51 |
| trism | sparrW: you can disable launcher hiding in compizconfig-settings-manager under the unity plugin, you probably can't move it easily | 02:51 |
| Paolo_CT | tepster: I will go ask in ubuntu-es about the tild bug | 02:51 |
| nutsfornatty | dagon: this release is very usable if you take the time to learn how to 1) use fullscreen apps and 2) use keyboard shortcuts. I love it. | 02:51 |
| Paolo_CT | dagon: why= | 02:51 |
| bull9408 | LucyIntheSky, I wish I could tell you how, but it did the same to me, I suppose they removed all Gnome panels, so I don't have any of mine anymore | 02:51 |
| jrib | econdudeawesome: do you have any idea what changed when it stopped starting? | 02:51 |
| bull9408 | LucyIntheSky, it kinda $*(@)%) me off... | 02:52 |
| rfxcasey_ | Hello, I installed sensors with sudo apt-get iinstall lm-sensors. After installing I run sudo sensors-detect and after letting it run and telling it yes to all sensor scans the summary says Driver 'via686': * Chip 'VIA VT82c686 Integrated Sensors' (confidence: 9) | 02:52 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: my wife did something, but I'm not sure what. According to her, she plugged in her ipod before she started the computer, and it went to KDM | 02:52 |
| LucyIntheSky | bull9408, im on xfce not gnome. | 02:52 |
| eiriksvin | i think that when they bumped Gnome3 they shouldnt have, they should have worked it so you could load either one | 02:52 |
| bigeye | tepster, zenocon: It works! Thanks :) | 02:52 |
| nutsfornatty | you can boot into classic ubuntu (login screen -> look at lower menu -> change "ubuntu" to "classic ubuntu" -> login) | 02:52 |
| jrib | econdudeawesome: so kdm starts now? | 02:53 |
| shcherbak | pattysmatty: There is source of package on ubuntu website, you can *really* buildit yourself, also ngrep, iptables and more tools can help you monitor data exchnage over netwoks | 02:53 |
| bull9408 | LucyIntheSky... hmm... I'm not sure what the terminal command is for that, sorry | 02:53 |
| nutsfornatty | if you believe unity to be flawed, dont use it and instead boot to classic (and enjoy your panels etc) | 02:53 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: I removed kdm and kdebase-bin, figuring it would give me the option to choose gdm (also purged the two packages) | 02:53 |
| pattysmatty | shcherbak, cool that makes me feel better | 02:53 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: I haven | 02:53 |
| fogobogo | xfce4 is pretty good these days... | 02:53 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: I haven't used KDE in months, and figured it wouldn't hurt to remove (though I typically do so in synaptic) | 02:53 |
| === pattysmatty is now known as thebestdamncomps | ||
| jrib | econdudeawesome: so what happens now when you boot? | 02:54 |
| dagon | learn me how to get advanced features for my compiz | 02:54 |
| tom11 | do i have to install package maintainer's version of grub when upgrading to 11.04? will that mess up my win 7 dual boot? thanks | 02:54 |
| === thebestdamncomps is now known as ingenious_motive | ||
| eiriksvin | dagon im looking to do the same thing | 02:54 |
| tepster | what sort of advance features are you looking for | 02:54 |
| jrib | tom11: view the differences and decide | 02:54 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: well, now that I started the gdm service, I'm not sure. Before I did that, it would boot up to "battery state" notification, and then hang (I've seen it do that on the computer I set up for text login yesterday, so I knew I could tty at least) | 02:54 |
| dagon | bah why would they take that out | 02:55 |
| dagon | rediculas | 02:55 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: but beginning the gdm service allowed me to log in as normal | 02:55 |
| magpii | i just had my system upgrade to 11. something, can someone show me how to get compiz back on? all my desktop settings are reset | 02:55 |
| dagon | and this unity thing should be called headache | 02:55 |
| === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK | ||
| econdudeawesome | jrib: should I reboot and see if hte issue is fixed? | 02:55 |
| === orion_ is now known as Guest34620 | ||
| dagon | I hope for the love of god Ubuntu is not selling out | 02:56 |
| jrib | econdudeawesome: sure, you may want to check /etc/X11/default-display-manager first though | 02:56 |
| tepster | dagon: install ccsm | 02:56 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: is this a file or a folder? | 02:56 |
| dagon | it is installed | 02:56 |
| dagon | tepster, | 02:56 |
| LittleRed | dagon: what makes you think that? | 02:56 |
| jrib | econdudeawesome: file | 02:56 |
| tepster | can't you access the features? | 02:56 |
| dagon | why the heck is it gone | 02:57 |
| aj00200 | I have 2 things I need help with. 1) My system has been extremely unstable after the 11.04 update including 6 crashes in about 5 hours today (where the screen freezes and the caps lock light blinks). 2) After restarting after my latest crash, the latest kernel image (It crashed somewhere during the install, I restarted and completed the install without errors) causes my screen to blink during startup and not boot completely. An | 02:57 |
| econdudeawesome | jrib: done. Changed to GDM. I'll restart and see what happens--I may be back. Thanks much for your expert advice | 02:57 |
| tom11 | jrib: sorry i'm not sure how to interpret the differences...http://paste.ubuntu.com/603070/ | 02:57 |
| jrib | tom11: go with the new version, the only significant change is that an option seems to have been renamed | 02:58 |
| Fireblasto | Hi, I've recently upgraded to ubuntu 11.04 on my netbook, and I am liking the new user interface, especially on my smaller screen. However, is there any way of changing the panel's position at the top to the bottom? | 02:58 |

| ubottu | xiaoji: 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. | 03:06 |

| QuikNik | Hey guys, am I not supposed to have a '/boot/grub/menu.lst' file that I can use for updating my grub menu? I'm trying to get my install of 11.04 to boot the older kernel.. as my system doesn't like the 2.6.38 kernel. It's listed in previous versions, but I need to change grub to default to it | 03:12 |
| QuikNik | any ideas? | 03:12 |
| todd2 | cheapie: remind me how pastebin works? Haven't done it in a long while | 03:12 |
| neon___ | i'm just venting, cause we can do better | 03:12 |
| cheapie | QuikNik: Grub2 uses grub.cfg | 03:12 |
| shcherbak | neon___: You *really* do not have to use it, but some people spent time on it, so... | 03:13 |

| Aren | When I was on ubuntu hardy, I had no problems whatsoever. Upgrading to 10.10 my wifi card started acting screwy...randomly disconnecting. Now on 11.04 it barely stays on for more than a minute at a time before cutting out. My laptop is a gateway T-1625, and I'm not finding anything through google that has helped me so far, and I really don't want to go back down to hardy just to get a solid wireless connection again. Can someone he | 03:16 |
| Jordan_U | QuikNik: Since Ubuntu now puts menu entries in a submenu, here is the documentation for specifying an entry within a submenu in /etc/default/grub : http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#default | 03:16 |
| Aren | slow compared to the onboard wifi. :( | 03:16 |
| todd2 | cheapie: did not return anything | 03:16 |

| Jordan_U | PatoVW: There is no upgrade option on the live install media. Just use update manager in your booted 10.10 system. | 03:18 |
| AlexGer | helo, i need your help please | 03:18 |

| tepster | i guess the live cd couldnt detect it hey? | 03:52 |
| mickster04 | !vnc | 03:52 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 03:52 |
| andygraybeal_ | tepster, yes that is correct. i wonder if the same would have happened if i installed the opensource nvidia drivers.. maybe i'll find out in the future, but for now i'm set!! | 03:52 |

| Edgan | red2kic: I know the nuclear option of how to get rid of them. | 03:57 |
| red2kic | Edgan: Remove Gnome3? | 03:57 |

| Edgan | red2kic: I have considered switching environments. | 04:00 |
| Edgan | red2kic: They did the same shit, though not this bad, with Gnome2. | 04:00 |
| multipass_ | soreau, very simply it just dosnt work, 10.10 to 11.04 broke it-- it flips sometimes, most of the time it dosnt | 04:00 |

| gdb | I've not tried lxde, but xfce is very gnome2-like if that's the experience you're looking for. | 04:04 |
| Edgan | red2kic: Not invented here syndrome. | 04:04 |
| jiance | hi | 04:04 |
| Omega | If you don't want to be helpful, feel free to leave. | 04:04 |
| soreau | If you don't want to see a real attitude, feel free to shut up. | 04:05 |
| KM0201 | red2kic: well, it's only natural that a desktop interface evolves.. gnome2-gnome3.. only makes sense.. it's just gonna take time to work the bugs out. | 04:05 |
| gtech | I just upgraded to the new version of ubuntu(11.04) and now when I loggin my scroll lock key blinks and everything locks up, I hear this is a kernal panic, I'm using gnome, how do I resolve this? | 04:05 |
| red2kic | KM0201: Are you on Gnome3 right now? | 04:05 |
| KM0201 | red2kic: no, but i tested it pretty extensively w/ fedora | 04:05 |
| red2kic | KM0201: You can't change the background with traditional right-click --> Background. They took away many things. | 04:06 |
| soreau | gtech: Typically a kernel panic is caused by a faulty kernel module | 04:06 |
| quint | what is this kernel panic you speak of? | 04:07 |
| soreau | gtech: Which graphics card do you have? | 04:07 |
| fearphage | my bluetooth adapter (internal, laptop, GE620) is not automatically recognized. how do i probe for it? | 04:07 |
| red2kic | gtech: If things aren't working, you can reboot and hold SHIFT to select older kernel. | 04:07 |
| KM0201 | red2kic: i'm aware of that. | 04:07 |
| soreau | quint: It's basically a lockup where your keyboard LEDs start blinking | 04:07 |
| nutsfornatty | its still light years better than windows and no apple tax like a mac, no real room for unity complaints | 04:07 |
| gtech | soreau: gtx 260 | 04:07 |
| Edgan | red2kic: I think that was nautilus, which can be brought back | 04:07 |
| soreau | gtech: Is that an nvidia model? | 04:08 |
| gtech | red2kic: I'll try that again, last time I did it just hung on the loading screen | 04:08 |
| gtech | soreau: yeah | 04:08 |
| Edgan | red2kic: you need gnome-tweak-tool, and then set file manager | have file manager handle the desktop | on | 04:08 |
| quint | pcmanfm is the wayy | 04:08 |
| soreau | gtech: Can you boot into recovery mode ok? | 04:08 |
| Edgan | red2kic: then run nautilus. I just tried it, it let me change my background. | 04:09 |
| gtech | soreau: yeah | 04:09 |
| awesomestman | Is this the appropriate loction to ask for Ubuntu support? | 04:09 |
| ZekeS | yes | 04:09 |
| red2kic | Edgan: I like gconf-editor better. I'm just going to walk away from this cesspool. :) | 04:09 |
| Edgan | red2kic: gconf-editor = dconf-editor now | 04:10 |
| gtech | soreau: what should I do once there? | 04:10 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: Yes. Welcome to #ubuntu | 04:10 |
| chaospsyX | what do i need to access a windows network from ubuntu ? | 04:10 |
| === tomer is now known as Guest38311 | ||
| awesomestman | Thanks. | 04:10 |
| KM0201 | chaospsyX: samba | 04:10 |
| KM0201 | !samba | 04:10 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 04:10 |
| quint | say now, how do i go about installing the java environment and icedtea ? | 04:10 |
| ZekeS | chaospsyX: samba, although ubuntu should see them out of the box iirc | 04:10 |
| quint | (forgot how) | 04:10 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: If you have a question, plop it away. Somebody who know the answer are likely to respond. | 04:11 |
| red2kic | !java | quint | 04:11 |
| ubottu | quint: 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. | 04:11 |
| bazhang | quint, enable partner repo | 04:11 |
| quint | thanks ! :) | 04:11 |
| awesomestman | Just made the switch to Ubuntu today. I have some issues with Software Center. It's been hanging on me and won't get past the loading icon. | 04:11 |
| soreau | gtech: Try blacklisting the nvidia kernel module by creating a file called /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf and putting 'nvidia' on a single line without quotes | 04:11 |
| zenocon | quint: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk | 04:12 |
| gtech | soreau: cool, I'll try it | 04:13 |
| soreau | gtech: Also remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it exists | 04:13 |
| red2kic | Software Center is back in Ubuntu 11.04? | 04:13 |
| chaospsyX | LOL | 04:13 |
| chaospsyX | omg | 04:14 |
| ZekeS | ? | 04:14 |
| KM0201 | red2kic: well of course it is, why wouldn't it be? | 04:14 |
| trinikrono | awesomestman: use apt-get :D | 04:14 |
| soreau | red2kic: I don't think it ever went away | 04:14 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: Close it. Use a terminal or synpatic when it comes to install packages. | 04:14 |
| chaospsyX | <red2kic> Software Center is back in Ubuntu 11.04? <---- LOL | 04:14 |
| ZekeS | disregard apt-get, use aptitude | 04:14 |
| soreau | chaospsyX: It's not that funny, really | 04:14 |

| faryshta | Hello. I can't read original DVD's. Looks like its a region issue. How can I fix it? | 04:14 |
| red2kic | chaospsyX: Somebody trustworthy told me that. :| | 04:14 |
| KM0201 | faryshta: have you installed libdvdcss? | 04:14 |
| soreau | ! dvd | faryshta | 04:14 |
| ubottu | faryshta: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 04:14 |
| faryshta | KM0201, yes, I can read pirates and downloaded dvd's. I can't read original DVD's region 4. | 04:15 |
| gtech | soreau: which log files would I attempt to look at to see what is happening? | 04:15 |
| red2kic | Then again, this is Internet. I shouldn't trust anyone. | 04:15 |
| KM0201 | faryshta: read the lnk soreau gave you above | 04:15 |
| magpii | i just updated to ubuntu 11 and now i cannot see the panels on my desktop, also, i cannot move any open windows or resize them . any help? | 04:15 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: Open a terminal (under Accessories) -- Type "aptitude search firefox" -- You get the idea. | 04:15 |
| chaospsyX | red2kic: :-P | 04:15 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: Want to install firefox? "sudo aptitude install firefox" | 04:16 |
| soreau | gtech: Probably /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages | 04:16 |
| faryshta | soreau, KM0201, I have libdvdread4 and libdvdcss installed. | 04:16 |
| soreau | red2kic: Hey, watch your aptitude buddy | 04:16 |
| soreau | ;) | 04:16 |
| KM0201 | faryshta: ther's also instructinos on that site on how to deal w/ region issues | 04:17 |
| awesomestman | red2kic: thanks. I was trying to find what to enter into terminal to install something | 04:17 |
| tbrew13 | i need some help with chrome how do i get just the chrome border and not the unity border in ubuntu 11.04 also the bisigi repository does not work | 04:17 |
| magpii | i cannot view the panels on my desktop, also windows wont move or resize and the close, minimize and maximize buttons ar not visible, can someone advise please? | 04:18 |
| trinikrono | awesomestman: you can look at http://ubuntuguide.org/ it has a guide on how to install alot of things that you might need | 04:18 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: If you're new, obviously this stuffs will confuse you at first -- but after few days, your brain cells will start firing up and you're *now* off autopilot in your life. :) | 04:19 |
| faryshta | KM0201, I remember using an illegal opensource lib in my old installation. Do you know any? | 04:19 |
| KM0201 | faryshta: even if i did, it wouldn't be allowed to be discussed here | 04:19 |
| faryshta | KM0201, its only illegal in US. Not in my country méxico. | 04:19 |
| faryshta | It was done by DVD-Jon. | 04:20 |
| magpii | can anyone tell me how i can revert to ubuntu 10 seeing as 11.04 has just screwed my perfectly decent system up | 04:20 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide#Aptitude from the command line | 04:20 |
| KM0201 | faryshta: then try ubuntu-es | 04:20 |
| bazhang | magpii, full reinstall, or choose gnome-classic from login window | 04:20 |
| chaospsyX | magpii: i was in your situation a few nights ago :-( i feel for ya man, i really do | 04:20 |

| quint | did you do a distro upgrade ? | 04:24 |
| quint | if your using gdm you can still choose your last gnome interface rather than unity | 04:24 |
| quint | well | 04:24 |
| quint | doesnt really matter if you use gdm actually | 04:24 |
| gtech | soreau: I'll try looking at the log | 04:24 |
| soreau | gtech: Did you check those log files? esp syslog? | 04:24 |
| gtech | soreau: not yet | 04:24 |
| tearlight | ??? | 04:24 |
| soreau | gtech: I'm only guessing the nvidia module is the problem | 04:24 |
| magpii | i just wanted to have my desktop as it was in ubuntu 10 after the upgrade to 11.04, but since upgrade, the entire desktop is screwed, and the new sidebar panal has disapeared as well as the main menu bar when windows are opened | 04:24 |
| red2kic | magpii: LTS. (10.04). <3 | 04:25 |
| bazhang | magpii, it reappears with mouse over, you could try unity-2d if your card is not up to it, or choose gnome classic from the login window | 04:25 |

| bazhang | study, instead of asking a generic question, ask what you really want | 04:33 |
| study | i want to study program... | 04:33 |
| bazhang | jiltdil, be sure to close software center before you try that command | 04:33 |
| bazhang | study, this is not the channel for that | 04:34 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: It's not a problem. Private softwares usually don't go in any repo (aptitude database) -- because well, it's closed thus we can't view the codes -- therefore we don't know if it's really safe -- but yeah, it's available. The same thing goes for dropbox. | 04:34 |
| jiltdil | bazhang:it also gives residual in synpatic package manager | 04:34 |
| study | so for waht? | 04:34 |
| bazhang | study, Ubuntu support | 04:34 |
| bazhang | !alis | study | 04:34 |

| jiltdil | bazhang:ok but why the apply button in package manager is frezed when i want to apply for the packages to removal | 04:35 |
| study | ....who are u? | 04:35 |
| study | why i can`t ask question here... | 04:35 |
| bazhang | jiltdil, perhaps a bug? try from terminal to verify its not something else | 04:36 |

| soreau | gtech: Can you try booting with nvidia.dontloadme=1 nouveau.dontloadme=1 ? | 04:49 |
| awesomestman | richard@richard-VGN-FZ430E:~$ cd /var/lub/apt/lists ; ls bash: cd: /var/lub/apt/lists: No such file or directory Desktop Downloads Music Public Videos Documents examples.desktop Pictures Templates richard@richard-VGN-FZ430E:~$ | 04:49 |
| ZekeS | unorugby: an install using wubi | 04:49 |
| Bpentest | tepster: any major issues? im kinda hesitant to upgrade it with all my server/ wine apps im using | 04:49 |
| gtech | soreau: where do I set those? | 04:49 |
| awesomestman | So it said no such file or directory but I got all this | 04:49 |
| unorugby | i partitioned my hard drive and installed it off of a disk | 04:49 |
| Bpentest | zekeS: are you able to do things like ssh with out issue? | 04:50 |
| gtech | soreau: like in the grub menu? | 04:50 |
| fizyplankton | does any one know if it is possible to have a VT on 2 monitors? like to where they arent the same, and i can switch back and forth. either that, or can i make it to where i can log into TTY1 on one monitor,m and TTY2 on the other monitor? | 04:50 |
| tepster | Bpentest: I don't have any major issues, no, but then again, I did a fresh install, not an inplace upgrade | 04:50 |
| soreau | gtech: yes, as kernel args | 04:50 |
| ZekeS | Bpentest: yep, altho I dont do anything too serious - ssh, samba, nfs, ftp mainly | 04:50 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: Damnnit. I made a mistake. Replace 'lub' with 'lib' | 04:50 |
| Bpentest | tepster: ok thanks | 04:51 |
| soreau | gtech: Append to the linux line, where it ends with something like ro quiet splash | 04:51 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: Use arrow keys to use the previous command -- then edit it. | 04:51 |
| alcane | what is that website where i can paste code & get a url for it? | 04:51 |
| red2kic | !paste | alcane | 04:51 |
| ubottu | alcane: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 04:51 |
| genii-around | !pastebin | 04:51 |
| Bpentest | ZekeS: alright as long as i can keep up my ssh server | 04:51 |
| ZekeS | ~inplace upgraded since 9.04~ | 04:51 |
| alcane | thx | 04:51 |
| almoxarife | unorugby: since the ubuntu install did you re-install windows? | 04:51 |
| ngc604 | how can i change the background of the log in screen. i think i am just overlooking it. | 04:51 |
| unorugby | almoxarife: no, it just stopped working out of no where | 04:52 |
| awesomestman | ah it's all right | 04:52 |
| GarryFre | My conky is covering over all my windows. I remember I need to edit autostart.sh to correct it, and I have this site telling me to do so but no site is reminding me where autostart.sh is, and the find command just drops to command line without even trying to find it. | 04:52 |

| awesomestman | and there's more but it looks like IRC cut it off | 04:52 |
| ZekeS | awesomestman: use a pastebin | 04:53 |
| gtech | soreau: cool, executing and logging in... | 04:54 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: I'm not sure why you have extras.ubuntu.com (I'm not sure if that's normal). | 04:54 |
| soreau | gtech: It worked? | 04:54 |
| gtech | soreau: nope, lockup | 04:54 |
| gtech | soreau: no nvidia splash though | 04:54 |
| soreau | gtech: Well I'm just about out of ideas then | 04:54 |

| alcane | i just tried to upgrade ubuntu and now I'm getting this: http://pastebin.com/x7Jb58UZ | 04:55 |
| soreau | gtech: Try a livecd and see if it helps. If so, a clean install should work | 04:55 |
| bazhang | jakegub, can you disable optimus in the bios? | 04:55 |
| awesomestman | I found how to use a pastebin. | 04:55 |
| awesomestman | http://pastebin.ca/2053690 | 04:55 |
| genewitch | well, natty dist upgrade works on the cloud | 04:56 |
| genewitch | :-) | 04:56 |

| gtech | soreau: heh thanks for the help anyway, gonna try to configure stumpwm and finally migrate from gname | 04:56 |
| gtech | soreau: gnome* | 04:56 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: Please paste the results of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" | 04:56 |
| unorugby | should i reload and be more specific about what the screen says when ubuntu fails to load? | 04:57 |
| bazhang | jakegub, there's a thread about that on ubuntuforums with a link to a PPA is that the nvidia 420 (cannot remember the exact chipset name) | 04:57 |
| Docfxit | I have been trying to signon to my Ubuntu. It says I have a wrong password. I have booted into recovery mode and tried passwd Docfxit in all lower case it says passwd: unknown user Docfxit in all lower case. How can I get back into my system? | 04:57 |
| soreau | gtech: no problem, best of wishes | 04:57 |
| awesomestman | Here's this paste for ya http://pastebin.ca/2053694 | 04:57 |
| MethedMan | what is considered to be the best email client for ubuntu | 04:58 |
| tensorpudding | !best | MethedMan | 04:58 |
| ubottu | MethedMan: 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. | 04:58 |
| bazhang | MethedMan, ask in #ubuntu-bots dont poll here please | 04:58 |
| jakegub | bazhang: it's the 540m I haven't tried using the proprietary drivers yet. I was actually willing to do without the dedicated graphics, but maybe that's the thing to try first is using the nvidia set | 04:58 |
| tensorpudding | MethedMan: Evolution is the one that is included, you should try it first | 04:58 |
| tepster | webmail is best email client | 04:59 |
| tepster | :p | 04:59 |
| MethedMan | tensorpudding: evolution is default. i am using that one now. | 04:59 |
| hypetech | MethedMan: you can try out thunderbird if evolution doesn't tickle your fancy | 04:59 |
| MethedMan | tensorpudding: i am not looking to "poll". looking for possibilities. what is out there? | 04:59 |
| bazhang | jakegub, ok. well not sure if the PPA works for that, there is also unity-2d package for non 3d accellerated | 04:59 |
| tensorpudding | MethedMan: i liked claws-mail, but i use evolution now and am happy with it | 04:59 |
| bazhang | MethedMan, that was a poll question please dont here | 04:59 |
| jakegub | bazhang: proprietary drivers say they're installed but not in use | 05:00 |
| bazhang | MethedMan, check the package manager | 05:00 |
| bazhang | jakegub, you can enable them via additional drivers and then reboot | 05:00 |
| jakegub | bazhang: I'm sorry it says they're activated but not currently in use | 05:00 |
| donchriscoe | quit | 05:01 |
| Docfxit | Could someone please help me signon to my system? | 05:01 |
| bazhang | jakegub, then a reboot, and if it says must start in low res mode, go back and try to enable again | 05:01 |
| GarryFre | Ok, I can't find out how to get conky to stop covering over every window, None will help, I am going to have to uninstall conky and give up. | 05:01 |
| bazhang | Docfxit, Docfxit would not be a password, but your username | 05:01 |
| bazhang | GarryFre, or try the ubuntuforums conky guide | 05:02 |
| Docfxit | bazhang That's correct. | 05:02 |
| xangua | GarryFre: or just ready conky documention or use one of the many easy to use configuration like conky colors | 05:02 |
| MethedMan | ubottu: how do i communicate with a bot? | 05:02 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:02 |
| jakegub | bazhang: are you saying to remove the drivers, then re-install them? | 05:02 |
| Docfxit | bazhang Docfxit is my user name - It's all in lower case | 05:02 |
| bazhang | xangua, he just quit | 05:03 |
| MethedMan | bazhang: good suggestion. thanks | 05:03 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: Meh. Open Software Sources. Try disabling/enabling the repos. Hopefully that can refresh the index. | 05:03 |
| bazhang | MethedMan, in #ubuntu-bots with bestbot? | 05:03 |
| awesomestman | Software sources doesn't seem to come pre-installed. How can I get it without using Software Center given that it's not working for me? | 05:04 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: It is not under System --> Admin/Prefs? | 05:04 |
| xangua | !source | awesomestman | 05:04 |
| ubottu | awesomestman: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 05:04 |
| Docfxit | bazhang How can I get to accept my password or reset my password? | 05:05 |
| bazhang | awesomestman, its in synaptic now | 05:05 |
| MethedMan | bazhang: i am a bit confused with these "bots" | 05:05 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: You want to enable parnter repo. Not extra repo. | 05:06 |
| red2kic | partner* | 05:06 |
| lyle | hey is there some way to have the unity launchbar use a different icon theme from nautilus and the notification area, etc.? | 05:07 |
| giacomo_c | i'm having a bit of trouble connecting to my wireless on the live 11.04 cd | 05:07 |
| awesomestman | This is what happened when I tried to open synaptic | 05:08 |
| xangua | lyle: change the icon theme, google for: gnome look | 05:08 |
| Erf_Neerg | giacomo_c do u know what kind of chipset you have? | 05:08 |
| bazhang | gnome-look.org xangua | 05:08 |
| Erf_Neerg | giacomo_c I'm having the same issue with bm 44/43 something | 05:08 |
| awesomestman | shit can't upload the image | 05:08 |
| giacomo_c | not really sure Erf_Neerg, i know its an intel integrated a/g/b | 05:08 |
| bazhang | awesomestman, no cursing please | 05:08 |
| hiexpo | this is what I am beginning to see is that ubuntu 11.04 is broke > Glad i stuck with 10.04 lts | 05:09 |
| giacomo_c | i can get it to show me a list of networks, ifconfig says it's up | 05:09 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" -- http://pastebin.com/KUKqJgrr | 05:09 |
| awesomestman | Oops. Anyways here's the pastebin of what Synaptic gave me http://pastebin.ca/2053695 | 05:09 |
| giacomo_c | yeah, i'm thinking 10.04 might be the way to go hiexpo | 05:10 |
| giacomo_c | also, this new interface is confusing and kinda a pain | 05:10 |
| awesomestman | red2kic: what do you want me to do? | 05:11 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: You may want to use Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) -- Stable and you don't have to mess around. My opinion is that 11.04 may not be ready. | 05:11 |
| Erf_Neerg | giacomo_c go in terminal and try lspci | 05:11 |
| lyle | xangua, what i'm asking is, can the launcher use a different icon theme than the rest of ubuntu? | 05:11 |
| zenocon | nice summary of 11.04 tweaks: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html | 05:11 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: I just looked. I don't think extra repo have anything yet. However, skype is in partner repo and it's not enabled. | 05:11 |
| elijah | What is the command to list all my devices? (not partitions) | 05:11 |
| lyle | xangua, i want to use Humanity on the launcher and Faenza everywhere else. | 05:11 |
| lighta | hi, how can I disable webcam in empathy ? | 05:11 |
| awesomestman | You want m to just downgrade to a lower version and work from there? | 05:11 |
| awesomestman | -me | 05:11 |
| Erf_Neerg | elijah lspci ? | 05:11 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: I highlighted four lines -- See the differences (hashes) between pastebin and the file you're about to open. | 05:11 |
| xangua | lyle: edit the icon theme | 05:11 |
| giacomo_c | Erf_Neerg: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG [Calexico2} | 05:11 |
| unorugby | hello, i'm having issues with ubuntu loading, when i start up my computer, it runs through a sequence of text before it ends with information similar to what follows: "in ouit: mountin /sys or /root/dev failed: no such file or directory" and " No init found. Try passing init: bootarg" | 05:12 |
| D-coy | O.o' | 05:12 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: Different (older) version -- but more stable. | 05:12 |
| red2kic | !lts | awesomestman | 05:12 |
| ubottu | awesomestman: 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) | 05:12 |
| Erf_Neerg | giacomo_c dunno what else to say sadly | 05:12 |
| ann | hi all | 05:12 |
| mbrigdan | Hello! Since I upgraded to 11.04, all my window decorations in compiz (i don't really like unity) have disappeared. I've tried reinstalling many things, (even new window decorators, such as emerald) but nothing works, and it makes it hard to do things | 05:12 |
| elijah | Erf_Neerg: I mean like sda and hda etc | 05:13 |
| zenocon | awesomestan: i just installed skype on 11.04 without issue | 05:13 |
| zenocon | had to enable partner repo first, but that was it | 05:13 |
| elijah | Erf_Neerg: I am trying to recover a drive with ddrescue and need to make sure I can see it first | 05:13 |
| Docfxit | bazhang I got into my system with a different user name. I'd like to fix my original user name. When I select System, Administration it doesn't have users as an option. | 05:13 |
| hiexpo | giacomo_c, yep i use it with kernal 2.6 38.5 kernal works good | 05:13 |
| lyle | mbrigdan, try doing a compiz --replace ? | 05:13 |
| ann | u pay for skype? | 05:13 |
| giacomo_c | i have no idea what i just did, but i got it to work i guess, haha | 05:14 |
| awesomestman | I understand. I'll get that taken care of tomorrow then. Will doing so affect my partition though? | 05:14 |
| xangua | ann: if you want skype credit to make calls i suppose | 05:14 |
| Erf_Neerg | elijah wooshing over my head | 05:14 |
| xangua | to make calls to phones* | 05:14 |
| unorugby | anyone? | 05:14 |
| xangua | !emerald | mbrigdan | 05:14 |
| ubottu | mbrigdan: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 05:14 |
| ann | yes so i thought lol | 05:14 |
| zenocon | y, you can buy skype credits for computer to pots, but it is free for computer<->computer | 05:15 |
| mbrigdan | xangua, Well, it wasn't working before emerald either, so I thought I might as well try it | 05:15 |
| giacomo_c | also, what's up with this new interface? why are they dumbing everything down so much? | 05:15 |
| ann | I can't see tv on Hulu | 05:15 |
| ann | downloaded flash player | 05:15 |
| Chaorain | I have a small problem, whenever I try to open a file downloaded in Chromium's download manager Nautilus tries to open it instead. | 05:15 |
| ann | still blocks me | 05:15 |
| LittleRed | ann: what browser? | 05:16 |
| ann | internet explorer and firefox | 05:16 |
| === help is now known as Guest64315 | ||
| mbrigdan | lyle, compiz --replace appears to be stuck on Setting Update "run_command_terminal_key", still no window decorations | 05:16 |
| red2kic | Chaorain: Any files or a particular filetype? | 05:17 |
| zenrox | ann it is in the ubuntu repos look thare useing synaptic | 05:17 |
| Guest64315 | can someone help me with this usb sound device | 05:17 |
| Chaorain | red2kic: every filetype. | 05:17 |
| LittleRed | ann: let me check mine | 05:17 |
| giacomo_c | is there a way i can just install xubuntu from the ubuntu live cd? | 05:17 |
| ann | I know how to get in terminal | 05:17 |
| lyle | mbrigdan, oh yeah, it's not stuck, that's compiz running now. do alt+f2 and then do compiz --replace in that launcher. | 05:17 |
| Guest64315 | hello, my usb device doesn't sound on xubuntu, but worked on regular ubunt | 05:18 |
| elijah | i am inside the program parted and i can't get back to prompt with ctrl+c or q, any ideas? | 05:18 |
| xangua | giacomo_c: download xubuntu from xubuntu.org | 05:19 |
| mbrigdan | lyle, Still nothing, but the previous compiz --replace (in a terminal) segfaulted and died | 05:19 |
| red2kic | Chaorain: Hmm. Check Chromium's Settings/Preferences? I know a situation where opening a folder would result in opening a music player (instead of nautilus). | 05:19 |
| awesomestman | So I'll take care of going to 10.04 tomorrow. Anything I should know about that ahead of time though? | 05:19 |
| bazhang | xangua, xubuntu-desktop and purexfce would be more optimal | 05:19 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: Just come in when you did your part. | 05:19 |
| MethedMan | how do i get evolution to show in the system tray | 05:19 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: Far less hiccups, that's for sure. Ubuntu 11.04 just came out maybe five days ago. | 05:20 |
| ann | not a big deal I watch cbs,crackle | 05:20 |
| lyle | mbrigdan, can you pastebin the output from when you ran it in the terminal? | 05:20 |
| xangua | MethedMan: check the envelope, it's there | 05:20 |
| giacomo_c | i know, but how do i install xubuntu-desktop to my hd from the live cd bazhang | 05:20 |
| ann | I have a problem where pc shuts down when doing updates | 05:20 |
| bazhang | giacomo_c, you dont | 05:21 |
| ann | then have to reload operating system on usb flash drive | 05:21 |
| mbrigdan | lyle, http://paste.ubuntu.com/603095/ | 05:21 |
| MethedMan | xangua: i do not understand what you are saying | 05:21 |
| bazhang | giacomo_c, you need the alternate cd to use a s a source | 05:21 |
| giacomo_c | elijah: just type quit to exit parted | 05:21 |
| awesomestman | red2kic: Gotcha. I alreay have Windows 7 running fine on a partition created with 11.04 . Will installing 10.04 affect that? | 05:21 |
| xangua | MethedMan: check the envelope...on the right corner | 05:22 |
| red2kic | awesomestman: There should be graphical installer. You may see the option to delete 11.04. Or replace the partition. As long as Windows partition are left alone. | 05:22 |
| giacomo_c | i guess i'll just install this and then get the xubuntu-desktop | 05:22 |
| magusOTB | Is setting up a swap partition on a SSD a good idea? | 05:23 |
| MethedMan | xangua: are you saying by default it is in the system tray. i do not see an envelope on the right corner | 05:23 |
| magusOTB | wouldn't it result in tons of write cycles? | 05:23 |
| bazhang | !purexfce | giacomo_c | 05:23 |
| ubottu | giacomo_c: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 05:23 |
| lyle | mbrigdan, do alt+f2 again and this time try metacity --replace | 05:23 |
| bazhang | magusOTB, what size ssd | 05:23 |
| Docfxit | When I put use sudo -I -u myusername I get sudo: no passwd entry for myusername How can I fix that? | 05:23 |
| magusOTB | bazhang: 128G, but what difference does that make? | 05:23 |
| awesomestman | red2kic: Okay. Another question. I installed 11.04 from a flash drive. Should I do the same or should I just buy a blank disc to be safe? | 05:24 |
| bazhang | magusOTB, some, for example my eeepc 4GB ssd | 05:24 |
| mbrigdan | lyle, Hey! Window decorations! That's nice. I do rather like compiz though, do you know how I could get it working again? | 05:24 |
| Chrisev | tengo una consulta | 05:24 |
| lyle | mbrigdan, not sure, just wanted to see if they showed up under metacity | 05:24 |
| bazhang | Chrisev, english here please | 05:24 |
| lyle | mbrigdan, you can go back to comiz by doing compiz --replace again | 05:25 |
| magusOTB | bazhang: Still, given that mine is not, is it worth having one, especially considering that the machine has 12GB of ram | 05:25 |
| lyle | MadDecent, ohai | 05:25 |
| Or1on1 | I just upgraded to 11.04 and I'm getting kernel panic after login on my asus G51 | 05:25 |
| Chrisev | bazhang give me a channel | 05:25 |
| bazhang | magusOTB, if you want to hibernate/suspend then sure, some swap is always a good idea | 05:25 |
| Chrisev | please | 05:25 |
| bazhang | Chrisev, for italian? | 05:25 |
| multipass_ | anyone know a decent mechanism to "alt-tab" out of openGL games? | 05:25 |
| Chrisev | spanish | 05:25 |
| bazhang | Chrisev, #ubuntu-es | 05:26 |
| magusOTB | bazhang: I don't need to hibernate/suspend. I don't think my motherboard supports either of them properly. | 05:26 |
| mbrigdan | lyle, Hmm, going back gets rid of them again. Maybe I'll reinstall all the compiz packages | 05:26 |
| Chaorain | red2kic: Nothing yet | 05:26 |
| giacomo_c | another question, how do i view my hdd from the live cd? | 05:26 |
| giacomo_c | i don't remember | 05:26 |
| bazhang | magusOTB, then your choice really, a small amount is what I'd do, but that's up to you | 05:26 |
| magusOTB | giacomo_c: Does it now show up on your desktop? | 05:26 |
| magusOTB | bazhang: K. thanks. | 05:26 |
| MethedMan | xangua: any ideas? | 05:26 |
| Chrisev | thanks | 05:27 |
| giacomo_c | nope | 05:27 |
| bazhang | MethedMan, by system tray you mean the top panel? | 05:27 |
| MethedMan | yes | 05:27 |
| bazhang | MethedMan, right click add to panel | 05:27 |
| awesomestman | Does it matter whether or not I'll install 10.04 on a flash drive or if I should just buy some discs given that I installed 11.04 on a flash drive and these issues are occuring? | 05:27 |
| MethedMan | bazhang: no. sorry. i mean the "notification area" | 05:27 |
| bazhang | awesomestman, if it can boot from usb then that s fine | 05:28 |
| MethedMan | bazhang: when you run xchat or whatever it automatically docks in the "notification area" | 05:28 |
| Bane99 | hey all | 05:28 |
| Bane99 | got a question | 05:28 |
| awesomestman | Thanks for all your assistance. | 05:28 |
| Captainkrtek | Bane99, what'sup? | 05:28 |
| bazhang | awesomestman, use the usb-creator or unetbootin to make it | 05:28 |
| Bane99 | never used Ubuntu before... when you log into the computer after installing does it give you the dual boot option? | 05:28 |
| Bane99 | i have a separate partition for it | 05:29 |
| Bane99 | first time i'll be using linux actually | 05:29 |
| Captainkrtek | Bane99, no, you have to install windows then Ubuntu, or the other way around and boot to a live CD and edit grub | 05:29 |
| Bane99 | aside from my android phone :P | 05:29 |
| bazhang | Bane99, is it set up properly for that? whats the other system on it | 05:29 |
| Chaorain | can someone tell me what the command in the last post is suposed to be? http://www.thisweekinlinux.com/forum/index.php?topic=574.0 | 05:29 |
| Bane99 | Windows 7 Pro x64bit | 05:29 |
| bazhang | Bane99, then installing ubuntu will do it for you | 05:29 |
| Bane99 | i set aside a 100GB partition for installing another oS | 05:30 |
| Captainkrtek | Bane99, did you install Ubuntu over? | 05:30 |
| Captainkrtek | Bane99, if so Grub will take care of up | 05:30 |
| Bane99 | i havne't installed it yet | 05:30 |
| giacomo_c | how do i list the drives i have? | 05:30 |
| Bane99 | downloading the file | 05:30 |
| Bane99 | well the iso | 05:30 |
| bazhang | sudo fdisk -l | 05:30 |
| RxDx | is there any applet (like net-speed for gnome2) that shows me my network speed for Unity? | 05:30 |
| giacomo_c | ah | 05:30 |
| Captainkrtek | RxDx, terminal based- sudo apt-get install speedometer | 05:30 |
| Bane99 | essentially i'm a linux noob | 05:30 |
| Bane99 | sorry guys =/ | 05:30 |
| RxDx | Captainkrtek, ill try, thanks | 05:31 |
| bazhang | Bane99, we all are at some point | 05:31 |
| Captainkrtek | Bane99, we all were once, if you need any help feel free to ask or PM me :-) welcome! | 05:31 |
| giacomo_c | fdisk doesn't show it | 05:31 |
| Bane99 | lol | 05:31 |
| Bane99 | so after making the disk | 05:31 |
| Bane99 | boot from cd? | 05:31 |
| giacomo_c | but when i go to intall ubuntu, it shows it as /dev/sda | 05:31 |
| Bane99 | or should i just install it from windows | 05:31 |
| bazhang | Bane99, set in bios to boot from CD first | 05:31 |
| Captainkrtek | Bane99, boot from CD, select partition, install, reboot, select what you want to boot to from grub | 05:31 |
| LittleRed | Bane: i lurk in here to leatn stuff | 05:31 |
| Bane99 | the problem is, my mobo doesn't like to recognize my USB mouse | 05:31 |
| Bane99 | in the boot screens | 05:31 |
| bazhang | Captainkrtek, he has partitioned already | 05:31 |
| Bane99 | i tried to install ubuntu awhile ago | 05:32 |
| Captainkrtek | Bane99, During the boot up you have to use your keyboard | 05:32 |
| Captainkrtek | bazhang, just meant for him to select it, not create it | 05:32 |
| Bane99 | ok | 05:32 |
| mbrigdan | lyle, Do you happen to know there the proprietary drivers setting has gone? I figure I might as well double check, but I can't find it under System->Preferences or Administration | 05:32 |
| Bane99 | install it to the free partition | 05:32 |
| Captainkrtek | Bane99, yeah | 05:32 |
| LAcan | how do i knock down the color depth on gnome desktop? | 05:32 |
| Bane99 | then will i get the boot choice when i start the computer? | 05:32 |
| RxDx | Captainkrtek, speedometer doesnt integrate with Unity =/ | 05:33 |
| Bane99 | sigh 50min left on the.iso download | 05:33 |
| lyle | mbrigdan, should be in Administration | 05:33 |
| Bane99 | what is unity? | 05:33 |
| Captainkrtek | RxDx, oh sorry didn't see unity, thought you just needed something to view speeds, sorry! | 05:33 |
| bazhang | Bane99, yes you will | 05:33 |
| bazhang | !unity | Bane99 | 05:33 |
| ubottu | Bane99: 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 | 05:33 |

| RxDx | Captainkrtek, np :) but do u know some that does? | 05:33 |
| Captainkrtek | RxDx, not off the top of my head, check the Ubuntu Software Center perhaps? | 05:34 |
| Captainkrtek | or the forums | 05:34 |
| sary | ann , how you doin there | 05:34 |
| RxDx | Captainkrtek, i did.. thanks anyway :) | 05:34 |
| Captainkrtek | RxDx, no problem, sorry heh | 05:34 |
| bison | hello, why is it my ubuntu, after re starting, its not working, only flashing | 05:36 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, could you be more specific? | 05:36 |
| Captainkrtek | by the sounds of it possibly a video card issue | 05:36 |
| fatguy | @bison I had the same problem, you probably need to switch to classic mode | 05:36 |
| mbrigdan | lyle, hmm, is there a difference between the NVIDIA binary Xorg driver and the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver? | 05:37 |
| bison | after reboot nothing happens | 05:37 |
| bison | fatguy: im using ubuntu 10.10 | 05:37 |
| fatguy | oh, nm then | 05:37 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, your video card may be broken | 05:37 |
| fatguy | my problem was with 11.04 | 05:37 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, do you just see lines on the display or something of the like? | 05:38 |
| bison | captainkrtek: nothing | 05:38 |
| FHtrain | how do i access places from livecd? | 05:38 |
| lyle | mbrigdan, if one of them says "experimental" then that one is nouveu, not the official nvidia driver | 05:38 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, verify connectivity of your video card and the cable, test a different monitor if possible and also try booting to a live CD | 05:38 |
| mbrigdan | lyle, No, but the currently enable one (accelerated graphics) says recommended, so I'll just leave it | 05:39 |
| fatguy | anyone know a program that will stream a webcam? (I googled and came up with nothing.) | 05:39 |
| sary | ann shuts down issue could be related to serval things .. | 05:39 |
| lyle | mbrigdan, that's probably the best idea. did you upgrade to 11.04 or do a fresh install? | 05:39 |
| mbrigdan | lyle, I upgraded | 05:39 |
| bison | captainkrtek: ok rebboting to live cd | 05:39 |

| frankely | Hello, i want to know how to allow execution of a file which is mounted in a hard drive partition in /media | 05:40 |
| Captainkrtek | frankely, chmod +x filename.file | 05:41 |
| Captainkrtek | in /media ^ | 05:41 |
| Bane99 | is v11 not recommended over 10? | 05:41 |
| Captainkrtek | Bane99, 11.04 is new as of a few days ago | 05:41 |
| frankely | it doesnt work, Captainkrtek | 05:41 |
| Captainkrtek | frankely, what is the output? | 05:41 |
| Captainkrtek | or could you be more specific | 05:41 |
| frankely | nothing | 05:41 |
| frankely | what i want is that give the x permission | 05:41 |
| bison | captainkrtek: ok, im in, using live cd | 05:41 |
| Captainkrtek | frankely, what type of file are you trying to execute | 05:41 |
| Diverdude | 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! | 05:41 |
| frankely | but i have tried that, and when i check the file doest no have it | 05:42 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, so video works now? | 05:42 |
| frankely | non-extesion file, is the eclipse launcher | 05:42 |
| Smiledon | Diverdude, i agree with u. developer wants to develop eye candies than fixing bugs | 05:42 |
| Bane99 | oh i'm d/l 11 | 05:42 |
| bison | captainkrtek: i thinks so, im using it now, using live cd | 05:43 |
| Diverdude | Smiledon, yes. it is a shame | 05:43 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, okay so did you install some updates recently in your real installation? | 05:43 |
| nutsfornatty | really? wow i never knew copy worked that way. | 05:43 |
| bison | captainkrtek: ya, a while ago | 05:43 |
| bison | captainkrtek: but i can't remember what kind of update is that | 05:44 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, okay so we can presume that that is the issue, let's try to boot into safe graphics mode using the vesa driver | 05:44 |
| bison | captainkrtek: how? | 05:44 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, hold on | 05:44 |
| Diverdude | Smiledon, but what is there to do | 05:45 |
| Smiledon | i dunno. i just live with it lol | 05:45 |
| bison | captainkrtek: tnx | 05:45 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, okay boot up and at grub highlight your installation and hit 'e' | 05:46 |
| === james is now known as jmayfield | ||
| bison | captainkrtek: i can't see anything | 05:46 |
| mbrigdan | lyle, Yay, I fixed it. Apparently the "Window Decorations" compiz plugin has disappeared somehow, and re-installing compiz plugins made it come back, so I just had to enable it. Thanks for the help | 05:46 |
| lyle | yeah, that'd do it | 05:46 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, before it boots to Ubuntu, at grub | 05:46 |
| Smiledon | sometimes i just opened gedit then paste and copy and paste again lol | 05:47 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, what size is your monitor by the way, looking up a code, *resolution size* | 05:47 |
| Aginor | Diverdude: https://launchpad.net/glipper might be something for you then | 05:47 |

| === ghost is now known as Guest56920 | ||
| Captainkrtek | bison, turn off the computer then turn it back on, before it boots up to Ubuntu it should go through your grub bootloader | 05:48 |

| Captainkrtek | bison, okay boot back up to the live cd | 05:49 |

| Jordan_U | anadon: What happens when you try to boot? | 06:17 |
| gueriLLaPunK | http://ubuntu.virginmedia.com/releases//natty/ | 06:17 |
| Captainkrtek | gueriLLaPunK, yeah you're good to go | 06:17 |
| gueriLLaPunK | ok excellent. thanks again | 06:17 |
| Captainkrtek | np :-) | 06:18 |
| anadon | it throws some lines of error messages, then says there is no partition | 06:18 |
| anadon | but I can see it and access it | 06:18 |
| anadon | and I didn't play with partitions at all | 06:18 |
| Captainkrtek | anadon, find out what partition it is on, boot into ubuntu, and go to disk utility | 06:18 |
| anadon | sda1 | 06:19 |
| Captainkrtek | anadon, what'd cause it not to boot in the first place? | 06:19 |
| anadon | I don't know | 06:20 |
| anadon | it just didn't do it | 06:20 |
| Captainkrtek | anadon, well if it worked and then didn't then something must be up | 06:20 |
| hale | Captainkrtek: sorry. after dd if=/dev/null of=/var/log/squid/top-urls-7days.log: i have a blank line still. | 06:20 |
| anadon | last time I tried 7 last week, it worked without a hitch | 06:20 |
| Captainkrtek | hale, Im not sure what you want to do | 06:20 |
| Captainkrtek | anadon, then... *poof* ? | 06:20 |
| anadon | yeah, that's what it looks like to me at my end...alas | 06:21 |
| Captainkrtek | hale, to empty all content of the file dd it, to remove it, rm it | 06:21 |
| hale | i want to have empty file. | 06:21 |

| Captainkrtek | bison, what? | 06:24 |
| bison | captainkrtek: how do ni save this | 06:24 |
| CoolCoder | Is there anyway to go back to previous version from Natty Narwhal to 10.x? | 06:25 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, that new file, replace the contents of your cfg with it, but make a backup of your old one | 06:25 |
| Captainkrtek | ie | 06:25 |
| Captainkrtek | cp file.cfg file.cfg.backp | 06:25 |
| Captainkrtek | cp file.cfg file.cfg.backup | 06:25 |
| bison | captainkrtek: so ill just copy and paste | 06:26 |
| Captainkrtek | yeah | 06:26 |
| Captainkrtek | but make a backup first | 06:26 |

| intok | CoolCoder what for? | 06:27 |
| Captainkrtek | Jamescarr locally? | 06:27 |
| Captainkrtek | or a network share | 06:28 |
| jamescarr | Captainkrtek, locally... any user logged into the machine, the application should use that same dir for caching :) | 06:28 |

| O-ngaWeze` | ikonia bruder && Pici bruder | 06:28 |
| Captainkrtek | hello O-ngaWeze` | 06:28 |
| jamescarr | The way it is is that when a user does something it might download 40MB or so of data to the cache, I'd prefer to share it vs. making each user do that download again | 06:29 |
| anadon | hey, I don't know what happened, but my win7 partition won't boot, but when I updated grub's conf file, it still didn't work. | 06:29 |
| O-ngaWeze` | Captainkrtek bro hello | 06:29 |
| Captainkrtek | hello bro :P | 06:29 |
| jamescarr | because the apps default is .appname/cache (which can be configured to elsewhre) | 06:29 |
| anadon | says it can't find a symbol, then partion, then disk doesn't exist | 06:29 |
| jamescarr | I'll put it /usr/local/share I guess | 06:29 |

| buhman | I have just installed ubuntu after playing with the livecd for a bit | 06:39 |
| anadon | bison: try running update-grub | 06:39 |
| Captainkrtek | thanks anadon for helping him, grub isnt my speciality | 06:40 |
| O-ngaWeze` | my old goodfriend ikonia bro && Pici bro :D | 06:40 |
| buhman | All the sudden it feels like I have no 2d/3d acceleration and overall performance seems much reduced | 06:40 |
| anadon | bison: also, make sure you have grub 2 | 06:40 |
| buhman | I think I was actually booting from the external harddrive than from the installed systemd | 06:40 |
| anadon | bison: should take care of it if you regularly update your system | 06:40 |
| Captainkrtek | O-ngaWeze`, well nice to meet you :-) | 06:40 |
| Captainkrtek | websiteguy, can you /query Captainkrtek | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | buhman: what video chip do you use? | 06:41 |
| buhman | ActionParsnip: Radeon HD4250 | 06:41 |
| buhman | ActionParsnip: radeon appeared to be running upon installation | 06:41 |
| buhman | then ubuntu suggested I install fglrx | 06:41 |
| anadon | bison: research super gurb disk--burn it and you'll be set until grub 3 comes out | 06:41 |
| buhman | since radeon performance was terrible (which is unusual for this card), I thought, meh, I guess... | 06:42 |
| O-ngaWeze` | You're welcome Captainkrtek bro:) | 06:42 |
| buhman | I think performance has gone down slightly after installing fglrx | 06:42 |
| O-ngaWeze` | ActionParnsnip bro gotta mornin'! | 06:42 |
| anadon | captainkrtek, websiteguy, were you two helping me? I got lost. | 06:42 |
| buhman | I was running debian wheezy beautifully before this (other than growing problems with borked packaging) | 06:42 |

| Captainkrtek | anadon, no what was your issue sorry? | 06:42 |
| crlcan81 | Found out the issue I was having is a firefox problem, not sure if it is flash itself, or simply certain sites since the 11.04 upgrade. | 06:42 |
| anadon | crazy guy research, need windows or a hack | 06:43 |
| ActionParsnip | buhman: if you use the hardware driver app you can see if the drivers are installed. If you have the unity bar then you have 3D acceleration | 06:43 |
| buhman | ActionParsnip: well I do... but I fear there's no 2d acceleration | 06:43 |
| buhman | ActionParsnip: lspci -k tells me fglrx is loaded, and glxinfo tells me I have direct rendering and that my vendor string is ATI... | 06:44 |
| buhman | ActionParsnip: this is quite unusual | 06:44 |
| buhman | ActionParsnip: but I swear that video performance is terrible | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Buhman: also make sure you have full updates: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade | 06:44 |
| buhman | ActionParsnip: I had 2d acceleration on the livecd | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Buh | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Buhman: try a reboot, it's cliche enough to work | 06:45 |
| buhman | ActionParsnip: surprisingly, there's a bunch of new packages... all perl related it appears.. and one for apt | 06:46 |
| anadon | Need to get win7 to boot! Symbols missing, partitian "doesn't exist", disk "doesn't exist". After "update-grub" still didn't work | 06:46 |

| ActionParsnip | Bison: what video chip do you have and is ita | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | It an upgrade or clean install? | 06:48 |

| Captainkrtek | bison, odd | 06:55 |
| Or1on1 | Captainkrtek, i think i found a clue for the freezup! :o)))) i think its one of the startup applets/applications | 06:55 |
| zack | ActionParsnip: in fact, if I were'nt in a terminal right now I'd probably be in a slight amount of trouble (at least probably forcing me to restart x) | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Zack: if you dislike unity (mac has the bar on the bottom, not left). Simply log off and select Gnome Classic as the session | 06:55 |

| bison | captainkrtek: black screen again\ | 07:00 |

| nit-wit | chaospsyX, ths is a older gconf method. http://ubuntuguide.net/assign-custom-keyboard-shortcuts-on-ubuntu | 07:01 |
| pindropper | mufasis: try typing raid and see what it says | 07:01 |
| rob_p | pindropper: Maybe you are referring to sourcing a file, like a script. example: . /path/to/script | 07:02 |
| nit-wit | mufasis, raid is not a common set up in linux | 07:02 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, okay get back to grub them | 07:02 |

| rob_p | pindropper: You could also do, "source /path/to/script" and it would accomplish the same. | 07:02 |
| chille | I have most stuff up and running, however i would need some help to find a few applications | 07:02 |
| nit-wit | mufasis, you might find help it just may take a bit.;) | 07:02 |
| chille | first of all i want some kind of application to monitor cpu temp etc, any ideas? | 07:03 |
| Captainkrtek | chille, congrats! | 07:03 |
| pindropper | rob_p: would that make it run in the same process as the shell itself, rather than a sub process? | 07:03 |
| mithran | conky | 07:03 |
| nit-wit | chille, conky | 07:03 |
| mithran | <chille> | 07:03 |

| mithran | wow are there actually any other answers? | 07:03 |
| Captainkrtek | lol | 07:03 |
| nit-wit | a smattering of applause for conky | 07:03 |
| pindropper | rob_p: and i thought i would work on the commands too. is it that it only works on scripts? like ". ./script" | 07:03 |
| Captainkrtek | hehe | 07:03 |
| rob_p | pindropper: I think so, yes. | 07:03 |
| chille | conky.. okay.. | 07:04 |
| bison | captainkrtek: what will i choose now? recovery mode or the other version 2.6.35.22-generic? | 07:04 |
| nit-wit | conky uses the lowest system resources | 07:04 |
| mithran | hi, does anybody know how to copy and paste text from host to a sunvirtual box vm? | 07:04 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, hold on | 07:04 |
| rob_p | pindropper: No. It's equivalent to sourcing. You can't source a binary in that way. | 07:04 |

| nit-wit | crowsnest, how are you formatting | 07:05 |
| pindropper | rob_p: ok. i know this might be a stupid question to ask. but why not | 07:05 |
| crowsnest | I'm using disk utility. Trying to format it to ext4. | 07:05 |
| rob_p | pindropper: Because it doesn't make sense! | 07:06 |
| nit-wit | crowsnest, I would use gparted it is easier, at least for me | 07:06 |

| geekorama | anyone having issues with evolution and rss feeds? | 07:07 |
| buhman | The idea that knowing the password of the restricted user allows you to elevate priveledges is a disgusting idea, I'm sorry | 07:07 |
| rob_p | pindropper: Think of it like a method of importing the code in some other file, into the currently executing script. | 07:07 |
| rob_p | pindropper: It's commonly done in other scripting languages like perl, php, etc. | 07:07 |
| pindropper | rob_p: aah! ok. now it makes sense. | 07:08 |
| pindropper | rob_p: so its like sharing the environment. | 07:08 |
| chille | ah, sweet, conky does the job perfect | 07:08 |
| === Trueman is now known as bubu | ||
| geekorama | any evolution users? | 07:08 |
| pindropper | rob_p: thus sharing scope. Am I right? | 07:09 |
| buhman | geekorama: if you're asking about exchange or something like that, I can't help you :P | 07:09 |
| nit-wit | chille, there are scripts all over the web to have it looking pretty cool | 07:09 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, okay | 07:09 |
| geekorama | buhman: rss feeds, i am having issues getting em on evolution | 07:09 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, highlight the -generic on and hit the e key on your keyboard | 07:09 |
| red2kic | buhman: Use Debian CUT? Heh. | 07:09 |
| bison | captainkrtek: ok | 07:09 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, scroll down to kernel | 07:10 |
| Captainkrtek | then hit e again | 07:10 |
| rob_p | pindropper: Sort of, yes. Think of multiple scripts utilizing a common data source or library. Sourcing is perfect for that. | 07:10 |
| bison | captainkrtek: ok, hold on | 07:10 |
| pindropper | rob_p: got it. thanks for clearing that up. | 07:10 |
| buhman | red2kic: that looks interesting... I just abandoned a bogged down and semi-broken apt on wheezy | 07:10 |
| rob_p | pindropper: But yes, it's also commonly used to source a common environment file. | 07:10 |
| rob_p | pindropper: welcome :) | 07:10 |
| red2kic | buhman: Why don't you stay on *squeeze*? | 07:11 |

| Captainkrtek | leave a space between the last word and vga=771 | 07:11 |
| chille | okay next application on my wantlist list is some kind of password manager. is ther any one like keychain in os x? | 07:11 |
| Captainkrtek | chille, password manager | 07:11 |
| geekorama | chille: keypass | 07:12 |
| chille | aha.. hmm.. | 07:12 |
| === coon is now known as oviparous | ||
| bison | captainkrtek: after generic or after? | 07:12 |
| Captainkrtek | err yeah | 07:12 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, huh? what does it say | 07:12 |
| buhman | red2kic: well, I was trying to do things like installing python 2.7 system-wide, which wheezy is supposed to accomplish (eventually) | 07:13 |
| buhman | but it didn't work out well | 07:13 |

| geekorama | bye all | 07:14 |
| Trueman | yesterday tried compiz and unity crashed | 07:15 |
| buhman | red2kic: so I played with the ubuntu livecd (hearing that this 11.04 was just released), and it had all the package versions I wanted (plus this PPA concept looks pretty cool, and I found myself stealing ubuntu packages frequently, which probably contributed to my package-management-meltdown) | 07:15 |
| Trueman | gnome don't work too( | 07:15 |
| red2kic | buhman: Heh. You bork the system when you have unmanaged packages. | 07:16 |
| red2kic | buhman: That was the whole point of using debian, awesomestableness. | 07:16 |
| buhman | red2kic: I know; it was great until I changed repositories and did the (surprisingly) fatal safe-upgrade | 07:16 |
| Trueman | does anybody know how to control brightness in ubuntu 11.04? | 07:17 |
| red2kic | buhman: The PPA concept is stupid in my opinion. If you really need python2.7 (and Ubuntu) without many stuffs. Go for minimal, maybe? Install barebone Gnome (Same effect you would with Debian Gnome Environment). | 07:17 |
| buhman | Trueman: my hardware keys work, which is surprising considering acer-wmi is broken on all aspire one's | 07:17 |
| devkorcvince | any issue's while updating 10.10 64 -> 11.04 64? | 07:17 |

| red2kic | buhman: 2.6.5 -- That bad? | 07:18 |

| chille | sweet, KeePassX does the job perfectly. however it would be awesome with better integrations with 3rd party applications, but i guess thats not possible? :o | 07:20 |
| buhman | red2kic: I'm pretty ok with this, it at least looks somewhat like debian so far; I just don't like this concept of what a priveledges user is in ubuntu | 07:21 |
| buhman | and want to re-enable something more traditional | 07:21 |
| buhman | see, the live-cd worked how I wanted | 07:21 |
| buhman | and now all the sudden it changes during install | 07:21 |
| buhman | pretty deceptive I think... | 07:21 |
| buhman | I got quite a few surprises thrown at me after installing actually | 07:22 |
| red2kic | buhman: Heh. Maybe you can ask in #bash about that -- They could know the solution. I could be wrong -- but -- It is probably group permissions or etc. I'm not too versed with users/groups stuffs. | 07:22 |
| red2kic | buhman: You can make it like Debian -- but you just have to find out. Pretty typical in linux. <_< | 07:23 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, hit e | 07:23 |
| steve1 | I'm running 11.04 and the top (unity?) menubar periodically semi-locks up (the time gets stuck, and a part of some window somehow gets overlayed on it, but it's still responsive to clicks). Is there a way to force Unity to redraw itself? | 07:23 |
| buhman | red2kic: that was the plan; more stable than wheezy (at this point) and I could probably un-ubuntu-ifity it pretty easily... or so I thought | 07:23 |
| bison | captainkrtek: how to save? ive already added vge=771 | 07:24 |
| Captainkrtek | vga=771 | 07:24 |
| Captainkrtek | not vge | 07:24 |
| bison | soory | 07:24 |
| red2kic | buhman: Maybe you can ask in #debian on how to upgrade a singular package, python -- for your reason. | 07:24 |
| bison | ]sorry hehehe' | 07:24 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, press enter when done | 07:24 |
| red2kic | buhman: Install wheezy deb? :o | 07:24 |
| buhman | red2kic: I had wheezy... | 07:24 |
| buhman | red2kic: the problem is you can't just go from 2.6 to 2.7 that easily... | 07:25 |
| red2kic | buhman: Many other packages (and GUI stuffs) broke? | 07:25 |
| vega | does anyone know why natty's gdm does not remember the last logged in user? i just get "other" every time and have to press enter and type my username manually whereas in maverick it would prompt for the password right away | 07:25 |
| buhman | lots of components depend on python and you need to solve lots of dependencies making an upgrade like that | 07:25 |
| buhman | red2kic: I had it basically half-way done | 07:25 |
| johwil | hi guys I wonder : if there is a MODTracker for s3m? | 07:25 |
| buhman | nothing was broken; but apt was severely confused | 07:26 |
| buhman | I tried to have aptitude make a automagic proposal for me: it included uninstalling gnome | 07:26 |
| buhman | I think glibc was in there too in the list of packages to uninstall | 07:26 |
| buhman | I thought "hmm, I'd better jump ship before this blows up in my face" | 07:27 |
| red2kic | buhman: Meh. Ask in #debian -- or try using wheezy iso. The installation went crappy on me during upgrade (from stable to testing). | 07:27 |
| johwil | Maybe this isn't the best #channel to ask such questions.... | 07:28 |
| buhman | red2kic: if this doesn't work out; that's what I'll end up doing :) | 07:28 |
| red2kic | buhman: :) | 07:28 |
| buhman | red2kic: I do already miss not having the firefox branding :P | 07:29 |
| red2kic | buhman: It's just a brand. A logo. | 07:29 |
| buhman | red2kic: I know | 07:29 |
| buhman | red2kic: I thought it was amusing "iceweasel" | 07:29 |
| red2kic | buhman: I miss out not having latest chromium. | 07:29 |
| buhman | I wonder if I can't switch that around too | 07:30 |
| buhman | shouldn't be hard at all | 07:30 |
| red2kic | vega: Upgrading always go flaky in my opinion. Also, my other opinion? Natty isn't ready. Ho ho ho. :< | 07:31 |
| bison | captainkrtek: my disk drives are being checked for errors | 07:31 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, :D | 07:31 |

| bison | captainkrtek: after typing vga=771, wat is the command in saving? | 07:35 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, enter key | 07:35 |
| bison | captainkrtek: then? | 07:36 |
| buhman | red2kic: all the sudo was confusing me; I've set the root password... | 07:36 |
| bison | captainkrtek: vga=771 is the last line | 07:36 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, boot to kernel | 07:36 |
| red2kic | bison: /boot/grub/grub.cfg (me think). There are no command to save. Just edit the file (and possibly) grub-update | 07:36 |
| Captainkrtek | red2kic, he doesnt have access to the os yet | 07:36 |
| red2kic | Captainkrtek: Ah. | 07:36 |
| dc5ala | chille, also have a look at Netbeans, less messy ;) | 07:37 |
| Chaorain | Hey, I'm using Burg and I wanted to remove a few boot entries (Ubuntu recovery and the like) Can someone help? Editing Burg.cfg did nothing | 07:37 |
| buhman | red2kic: and #bash told me that that's not a bash question and that I should probably go back to #ubuntu :P | 07:37 |
| chille | dc5ala: okay | 07:37 |
| red2kic | buhman: :o | 07:37 |
| bison | captainkrtek: just a flashing screen, dark to light dark | 07:38 |
| red2kic | buhman: More like users/groups question, I'd imagine. #linux (or was it ##linux) could be the good channel. #ubuntu is good channel too but I don't know if people will know the answer to that (at this time). | 07:38 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, im as confused as you're | 07:38 |
| Captainkrtek | buhman, what is your question | 07:39 |
| ajdonnison | buhman, the default sudoers file sets those that are in the admin group as being able to use sudo, you can edit /etc/group and drop your user out of that group if that is the problem. | 07:39 |
| buhman | ajdonnison: that's the one; thanks | 07:39 |
| soreau | buhman: What's the question? | 07:39 |
| bison | captainkrtek: how about recovery mode | 07:39 |
| Captainkrtek | bison, try it | 07:39 |
| buhman | style question: how do I remove the padding from the taskbar buttons in the top-right? | 07:40 |
| aLeSD | hi all | 07:41 |
| aLeSD | someone know how to don't run the gnome-panel in ubunut-classic ? | 07:42 |
| soreau | aLeSD: You don't want any panel at all? | 07:42 |
| buhman | ajdonnison: should I have to re-log in? now I'm not asked for a password at all when I sudo (rather than the expected behavior: being told that that's no allowed" | 07:42 |
| ajdonnison | buhman, yes, you need to re-login. | 07:43 |
| buhman | ajdonnison: I appreciate it | 07:43 |
| ajdonnison | The /etc/group file is only read at login. | 07:43 |
| cretsiah | hi ppls, is there away, to view a sata drive that is connected by a multiport adapter, filesystem type comes up as unkown | 07:44 |
| dc5ala | aLeSD, think you have to rename the binary of it, used that once when i tried fancy dock like panel | 07:44 |
| jozefk | can I disable some of these effects in 11.04 with unity? all special desktop effects | 07:45 |
| jozefk | I can't find where to do that | 07:45 |
| buhman | jozefk: see? nobody likes unity | 07:45 |
| aLeSD | soreau: yes .. I am replacing everything with awn | 07:45 |
| jozefk | i don't like it either | 07:45 |
| jozefk | but I want to disable the effects | 07:46 |
| dc5ala | jozefk, have a look at compiz-config-manager | 07:46 |
| jozefk | can I? | 07:46 |
| buhman | jozefk: I switched to gnome-classic | 07:46 |
| aLeSD | dc5ala: I wan't rename it .. I used to change the panel entry in gconf-edit ... but .. it doesn't work anymore ... (11.04) | 07:46 |
| jozefk | can I start that from terminal? | 07:46 |
| steve1 | buhman: I'm having a hellova time with it too. I'm hoping it's just growing pains, but it just feels like alpha or beta software released too soon. | 07:46 |
| buhman | jozefk: you can log out and then switch in gdm3 | 07:46 |
| buhman | steve1: I think it's just it's a bad idea gone wrong, plain and simple | 07:46 |
| soreau | aLeSD:From your terminal: 'sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/gnome-panel; killall gnome-panel' and to undo it 'sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gnome-panel; gnome-panel & disown' | 07:47 |
| dc5ala | aLeSD, yes that's the one i tried once too (AWN), just renamed gnome-panel | 07:47 |
| red2kic | steve1: Time-based releases -- It's the tradition. :) | 07:47 |
| jozefk | how to start compiz config manager | 07:47 |
| jozefk | from terminal it does not work | 07:47 |
| soreau | jozefk: Run ccsm from your terminal | 07:47 |
| soreau | ! work | jozefk | 07:48 |
| ubottu | jozefk: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 07:48 |
| red2kic | steve1: I imagine you will get updates to square out bugs, a month or two. | 07:48 |
| jozefk | ccsm is not installed | 07:48 |
| mithran | where can i install an installation cd of ubuntu that does not come with the x server, (so that i can try to install it)? | 07:48 |
| buhman | how can I remove the padding from the taskbar icons in the top-right? (making it look like every other gnome environment I've experienced prior to now) | 07:48 |
| jozefk | where do I get those effects without compiz then? | 07:48 |
| red2kic | !minimal | mithran | 07:48 |
| ubottu | mithran: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 07:48 |
| sje | jozefk: what effects? | 07:49 |
| buhman | jozefk: aptitude install ccsm? | 07:49 |
| dc5ala | jozefk, install compizconfig-settings-manager | 07:49 |
| red2kic | mithran: Although I have no idea if you can toggle on/off packages or it'll just install lot of packages at once. See alternative or server iso too | 07:49 |
| jozefk | I have compiz but can't do anything with it if I don't install first ccsm | 07:49 |
| jozefk | :P | 07:49 |
| steve1 | buhman: how are you liking Gnome3? that's the new one, right? | 07:49 |
| jozefk | that sucks | 07:49 |
| soreau | jozefk: What is the problem with installing ccsm? | 07:50 |
| buhman | steve1: umm, i think this is still 2.32 or something | 07:50 |
| jozefk | it should be already there | 07:50 |
| buhman | steve1: roger that ^ | 07:50 |
| soreau | jozefk: No, it shouldn't | 07:50 |
| steve1 | buhman: oh, I thought you said you were on 3. my bad. :) | 07:50 |
| red2kic | steve1: I hate it. Added a launcher in fallback gnome mode. Can't delete it. I'm forced to nuke dconf fil. | 07:50 |
| buhman | steve1: gdm3 | 07:50 |
| dc5ala | jozefk, well that is a very advanced config program ;) | 07:50 |
| buhman | steve1: the login manager thingy | 07:50 |
| soreau | jozefk: ccsm is technically a developer tool | 07:50 |
| jozefk | ok I run it now | 07:51 |
| glacia | can someone explain to me why i cant get an .exe to open in wine? | 07:51 |
| buhman | glacia: what's the output? | 07:51 |
| red2kic | glacia: What is the software? Screensaver.exe ? | 07:51 |
| buhman | glacia: my guess is that you might need to install vc runtimes | 07:51 |
| soreau | glacia: Perhaps you need to make it executable first? | 07:51 |
| buhman | soreau: not neccessary with wine | 07:51 |
| alphamale | can someone help me with running ubuntu live on a usb, i already have grub and puppy running on it | 07:52 |
| jozefk | if I disable Animations, Window Decoration and Fading Windows, I have no more icons in panel lol | 07:52 |
| glacia | its a trainer for a game... basically editting roms | 07:52 |
| jozefk | I believe this will work better now | 07:52 |
| jozefk | but without icons what will I do ? :)) | 07:52 |
| buhman | glacia: and what's the output when you do "wine game.exe"? | 07:52 |
| soreau | alphamale: just install ubuntu as you normally would but select manual partitioning and select the usb stick node from gparted | 07:53 |
| alphamale | i dont want to partition | 07:53 |
| Targen | hi. i've got a question that might seem a bit silly, but i've been googling for a couple hours now and i can't find anything. | 07:53 |
| glacia | buhman, i dont understand what you mean by output? | 07:53 |
| crack888 | hello | 07:53 |
| alphamale | and where do i perform the install from | 07:53 |
| Targen | in gnome, how do i change the number of lines or otherwise alter the speed of mouse wheel scrolling? | 07:53 |
| jozefk | maybe reboot and see what happens :) most probably it won't even start anymore :) | 07:53 |
| crack888 | is re | 07:53 |
| alphamale | i can mount the ubuntu iso in puppy | 07:53 |
| alphamale | but then what | 07:53 |
| FHtrain | how do i copy xchat logs from broken wubi using livecd? the logs are in /.xchat2 and i can see the list on the terminal but i dont know how to access them | 07:53 |
| jozefk | let's see | 07:54 |
| buhman | glacia: generally, when you run wine, it prints stuff to stdout | 07:54 |
| mysteriousdarren | I just upgraded to 11.04 and installed Microsoft Office 2007 through wine and now I can not find where to start it | 07:54 |
| buhman | glacia: and I'm asking when your application fails, what does wine say? Usually it will tell you more or less exactly what the problem is | 07:54 |
| crack888 | china ??? | 07:54 |
| glacia | well when i tell wine to open it, it just sits there thinking and then stop | 07:54 |
| glacia | no pop ups or anything | 07:54 |
| tripelb | FHtrain, I dont think you can get to wubi at all unless you boot from it. | 07:55 |
| red2kic | buhman: /etc/group thing worked? | 07:55 |
| crack888 | my English is bad | 07:55 |
| buhman | red2kic: brilliantly | 07:55 |
| tripelb | FHtrain, tell me if it's different. | 07:55 |
| sje | FHtrain: I'm a bit confused by hat you mean, but cant you upload them to a file server? | 07:55 |
| red2kic | buhman: Ahh. Now I'll try to remember that. :0 | 07:55 |
| buhman | red2kic: there's still some other su configuration that incorrect | 07:55 |
| sje | I think Wubi is a virtua machine, yes? | 07:55 |
| buhman | red2kic: it asks for the user's password, not the root password | 07:55 |
| red2kic | buhman: Compare /etc/group with ubuntu + debian, maybe? | 07:55 |
| soreau | glacia: Open a terminal, cd into the directory where the .exe is and run 'wine program.exe' and pastebin the output to paste.ubuntu.com and post the link here | 07:56 |
| buhman | red2kic: I don't think that has anything to do with /etc/group | 07:56 |
| jozefk | after reboot icons on panel are back but the top area in the window is gone :)) | 07:56 |
| tripelb | crack888 suggestion: prepare a whole sentence with your problem and what Ubuntu you are running and he basic information. We are not mind-readers. | 07:56 |
| FHtrain | tripelb, i managed to access wubi with livecd but the problem is this dir starts with a period so i dont know how to access the files | 07:56 |
| ajdonnison | buhman, it doesn't. | 07:56 |
| jozefk | I can't minimize, maximize or anything | 07:56 |
| sje | FHtrain: control H ? | 07:56 |

| elvian | hello | 07:57 |
| soreau | oops | 07:57 |
| alcane | so, yes, peeps are having issues with the 11.04 upgrade, but just want a little direction as the only searches I get r my own pastebins... ;/ http://pastebin.com/9qENxDgs | 07:57 |
| FHtrain | sje, i dont know how to upload them to file server | 07:57 |
| tripelb | really. FHtrain if you are using GUI then go to view and choose see hidden files. If you are in terminal use ls -a | 07:57 |
| ajdonnison | buhman, su should ask for the root password, sudo asks for the user password, which are you using? | 07:57 |
| alphamale | soreau: will that wipe my usb partition? i want to keep the data on it | 07:57 |
| buhman | ajdonnison: that was my main concern to begin with, actually, not so much that the user was in sudoers | 07:57 |
| buhman | ajdonnison: yes | 07:57 |
| jozefk | ok window decoration effect must be on | 07:57 |
| jozefk | :P~ | 07:57 |
| jozefk | we are forced to use some effects | 07:57 |
| ajdonnison | buhman, yes is not a valid answer to my question. | 07:57 |
| soreau | alphamale: When you select manual partitioning, it should show the partitions already on it | 07:57 |
| glacia | .... nvm im just going to reload windows tomorrow... i am too stupid for linux | 07:57 |
| buhman | ajdonnison: sudo asks for the user password; not the root password (not the same thing as su) | 07:58 |
| FHtrain | tripelb, thanks i'll try it out | 07:58 |
| alphamale | yes, but does ubuntu need its own partition | 07:58 |
| alphamale | i want to run it as a live usb | 07:58 |
| sje | glacia: nonsense....my dad is too stupid for windows, but smart enough for linux | 07:58 |
| soreau | alphamale: So create one | 07:58 |
| jozefk | still without animation everything is much faster | 07:58 |
| tripelb | OK I want to copy a DVD complete to disk. what do you recommend I do. | 07:58 |
| jozefk | and fading things | 07:58 |
| elvian | I tried installing 11.04 with Wubi on my Toshiba satellite but all I get when I reboot is a blank screen after choosing Ubuntu in Grub. Where can I get some help regarding this issue? | 07:58 |
| buhman | alphamale: not neccesarily | 07:58 |
| alphamale | ok i could do that but i have grub already on it | 07:58 |
| tripelb | FHtrain, use my nick when you come back and I'll notice that in the room. | 07:58 |
| Heron_Marked | glacia, you may think that, but I don't think so. Grab a Linux For Dummies Book from the Library or Bookstore. After a bit of reading I think you'll get a really rapid hag of it. | 07:58 |
| alphamale | i just want to select booting into ubuntu instead of puppy | 07:58 |
| ajdonnison | buhman, so do you still have a problem? Or need clarification? | 07:58 |
| buhman | ajdonnison: both | 07:59 |
| glacia | heron, i have ubuntu unleashed 10.04 and 10.10 | 07:59 |
| buhman | ajdonnison: the problem is that (even though the user isn't in sudoers right now), that sudo asks for his password | 07:59 |
| buhman | and no the root password like I'd expect | 07:59 |
| soreau | ! ask | buhman | 07:59 |
| ubottu | buhman: 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. :-) | 07:59 |
| alphamale | can i just modify the grub menu entry that comes with ubuntu, add it to my menu.lst? | 07:59 |
| FHtrain | lol tripelb thats a weird idea | 07:59 |
| buhman | soreau: how is that not a straightforward question? | 07:59 |
| alphamale | and then put ubuntu in its own directory | 07:59 |
| soreau | buhman: I still have yet to see you ask your full initial question | 08:00 |
| red2kic | soreau: Ubuntu's sudo/su does not behave same as Debian's sudo/su. | 08:00 |
| alcane | WARNING: Couldn't find symtab and strtab in module /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia-current.ko | 08:00 |
| elvian | anybody have an idea about my problem? | 08:00 |
| bison | captainkrtek: what is "-bash: /etc/profile: permission denied" | 08:00 |
| red2kic | soreau: He wish to have Debian's sudo/su. | 08:00 |
| ajdonnison | buhman, I think you are confusing su and sudo. They do different things. sudo only ever asks for the user password (unless configured not to), su only ever asks for the target user's password. | 08:00 |
| soreau | red2kic: So tell him to use debian? | 08:01 |
| red2kic | buhman: If you have Ubuntu + Debian side-by-side, you could compare /etc/pam.d/su -- Hopefully that matter. :\ | 08:01 |
| tripelb | FHtrain, it's a wierd idea to tell me that it worked? or that the chat room tag turns blue when my nick is used? | 08:01 |
| jozefk | thanks for help anyway | 08:01 |
| red2kic | soreau: He want to use python2.7 . | 08:01 |
| alphamale | i just want a small debian that works well with python | 08:01 |
| faryshta | Is there any good tutorial for wifi cracking? | 08:01 |
| A[D]minS | !Gnome 3 | 08:02 |
| FHtrain | FHtrain, i mean i thought it was weird idea for me to use your nick | 08:02 |
| buhman | red2kic: that wasn't neccessarily the problem: it was me borking the package manager | 08:02 |
| soreau | faryshta: aircrack-ng.org | 08:02 |
| red2kic | soreau: Debian --> 2.6.6. He may use debian if this thing does not pan out for buhman. | 08:02 |
| * alcane steps away for nourishment | 08:02 | |
| buhman | red2kic: which was 100% my fault | 08:02 |
| red2kic | buhman: How did you bork package manager? By trying python2.7? | 08:02 |
| buhman | red2kic: among many other things, yes | 08:03 |
| buhman | red2kic: another problem was moving from openoffice to libreoffice | 08:03 |
| FHtrain | tripelb, but i thought 2 people cant use same nick? | 08:03 |
| === lance is now known as Guest94171 | ||
| buhman | red2kic: that caused more problems than you'd expect | 08:03 |
| boomboorum | Hi, is there any alternative to Gwibber? | 08:03 |
| red2kic | buhman: Heh. I wanted libreoffice. Just try wheezy iso and let me know how it goes. | 08:03 |
| faLUCE | hi. how can I encrypt a samba share? | 08:04 |
| red2kic | buhman: Also, I think you could have put python2.7 in /opt/ -- and use it when you need it. (what do you need it for?) | 08:04 |
| buhman | red2kic: for whatever reason, openoffice could not be uninstalled while gnome was installed | 08:04 |
| nutsfornatty | boomboorum: yes, pidgin for starters | 08:04 |
| FHtrain | tripelb, anyway thanks for telling me about showing hidden files, i didnt think of that, it worked | 08:04 |
| buhman | red2kic: (I think it was a specific component.. email or something...) | 08:04 |
| Igor_Elez | hi, i need help, i mistakenly uninstalled Network Manager, now i cant connect to internet, how can I get it back??? ANYONE? (using Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix) | 08:04 |
| bison | any idea why my boot loader is broken | 08:04 |
| red2kic | buhman: gnome is metapackage. You can remove it. It'll whine -- but you can remove it. | 08:04 |
| boomboorum | nutsfornatty: I have pidgin, but I need a client which will combine twitter, facebook and buzz | 08:04 |
| buhman | red2kic: it wasn't "gnome" it was specific components; I'm aware of this :) | 08:04 |
| sje | Igor_Elez: do you have a flash drive? | 08:05 |
| red2kic | buhman: :D | 08:05 |
| Igor_Elez | yes | 08:05 |
| buhman | red2kic: as I recall, it was like gnome-workspace among others | 08:05 |
| elvian | guys, where can I get help with Wubi? | 08:05 |
| buhman | how does wubi work, anyway? | 08:05 |
| bison | i did an update and after reboot, my system is not working anymore | 08:05 |
| === david is now known as Guest1380 | ||
| red2kic | buhman: It install Ubuntu OS as a Windows program. | 08:05 |
| buhman | is it just an embedded version of qemu? | 08:05 |
| Igor_Elez | sje yes, i am on the other PC, i have a flash drive ready | 08:05 |
| Stormshadow | hello all... | 08:05 |
| buhman | red2kic: that's *what* it does, not *how* it does it :) | 08:05 |
| sje | Igor_Elez: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/NetworkManager/0.8/ | 08:06 |
| sje | download and install | 08:06 |
| alphamale | if someone wants to pm me that's fine it's too confusing here | 08:06 |
| Igor_Elez | sje THANKS | 08:06 |
| FHtrain | buhman i did the same thing, i learned after that i'm not supposed to update after installing wubi | 08:06 |
| g0r33k | Hi everyone, I recently bought a microphone for my pc from ebay and have connected it to my computer using the microphone and speaker jack. The speakers work fine but the microphone does not wont. Any ideas? | 08:06 |
| g0r33k | work* | 08:06 |
| bison | i did an update and after reboot, my system is not working anymore, i can see a glimps of the flash screen and it went black with a flickering scree, dark to light dark | 08:06 |
| buhman | FHtrain: why? | 08:06 |
| glacia | i think i am still going to reload windows and just dual boot until i get a full hang of ubuntu | 08:06 |
| Stormshadow | im using xscreensaver and passwords containing the £ character cannot be used - i.e. unlocking fails. Any ideas? | 08:07 |
| buhman | FHtrain: isn't it just being virtualized? | 08:07 |
| faryshta | Is there any good tutorial for wifi cracking? | 08:07 |
| buhman | FHtrain: I don't see how that would cause problems with the package management | 08:07 |
| FHtrain | buhman, from what i read, updating ubuntu on wubi can cause booting problems | 08:07 |
| nutsfornatty | ubuntu 11.04 is there a way to change the wallpaper of the login screen? thanks | 08:07 |
| selig5 | g0r33k: Get a microphone preamp. | 08:08 |
| FHtrain | buhman i'm now copying everything from the disc because i havent been able to fix the problem like other people | 08:08 |
| FHtrain | buhman, i cant boot into windows or ubuntu because of it | 08:08 |
| Igor_Elez | sje private :) | 08:08 |
| g0r33k | selig5: is that the only way? | 08:08 |
| red2kic | buhman: It install grub on MBR. Grub point to a compressed ISO somewhere on C:\ -- So Ubuntu on NTFS filesystem. | 08:08 |
| selig5 | That's my guess. | 08:09 |
| g0r33k | okay | 08:09 |
| red2kic | buhman: If NTFS filesystem is garbage, Ubuntu's experience will be garbage, just same as Windows. | 08:09 |

| buhman | red2kic: and somehow it's a windows "application"? | 08:11 |
| tripelb | FHtrain, yw | 08:11 |
| buhman | red2kic: that doesn't make sense; and it you can't flexibly install packages or do a distribution upgrade? | 08:11 |
| red2kic | buhman: Yeah. It is treated that way. | 08:11 |
| buhman | red2kic: how? | 08:11 |
| red2kic | buhman: Ask in #debian about python2.7 (ask about backports) | 08:11 |
| tripelb | FHtrain, I see your confusion. I meant you use my nick in the line and it turns it red. Like you have been doing. nothing special. Good to have all this cleared up. Now I have to find a DVD copying program. | 08:12 |

| Arachon | Aaanyone? | 09:08 |
| mysteriousdarren | what? | 09:08 |
| Arachon | I restored my home folder from backup after installing Natty, and now Unity is bugged, the panel is invisible (apart from a slightly transparent border) and the dock is completely missing | 09:08 |
| mysteriousdarren | Arachon: it was buggy before the restore? | 09:09 |
| Arachon | mysterious: Nope, worked perfectly | 09:09 |
| Arachon | mysteriousdarren: So there's something in my home folder doing it... Probably a config file that's hung around since 10.10 | 09:09 |
| visionofarun | Anyone? | 09:09 |
| LAcan | Can anyone tell me how to manually configre a NIC to start on boot instead of when I log in? | 09:09 |
| Tuplad | is there a way to uninstall unity and everything that comes with it ? it's really bloated and slows everything down on both computers. | 09:10 |
| mysteriousdarren | It would def be a config file or a .....I am thinking. | 09:10 |
| red2kic | Tuplad: Uninstall -- No. Reinstall -- Yes. | 09:10 |
| shcherbak | LAcan: Apart that linuxforum need blocking ads, they still have some nice info: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/networking/43978-ubuntu-wireless-boot-connect.html | 09:11 |
| Tuplad | red2kic: why reinstall ? | 09:11 |
| rumpe1 | Tuplad, if you don't use it, it won't slow your pc down | 09:11 |
| red2kic | !downgrade | Tuplad | 09:11 |
| ubottu | Tuplad: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 09:11 |
| mysteriousdarren | or use a different desktop environment altogether. | 09:11 |
| Tuplad | !downgrade | 09:11 |
| red2kic | Tuplad: Read what ubottu told you. | 09:11 |
| Tuplad | I'm not trying to downgrade | 09:11 |
| Tuplad | just remove unity | 09:11 |
| Tuplad | I'd rather get Gnome 3 | 09:12 |
| Arachon | You can install Gnome 3 | 09:12 |
| Arachon | It's gonna break Unity, but you can still use Gnome | 09:12 |
| starZ | hi all, I've just get my upgrade to 11.04 and the desktop switcher in the panel is showing only 1 workspace.. have you ever experience that? is it because of new compiz? | 09:12 |
| shcherbak | Tuplad: Unity can coegsist with Gnome3, on point of removing it, yet. | 09:12 |
| mysteriousdarren | Arachon: or one of the dependancies. | 09:12 |
| Tuplad | so removing Unity can't be done ? | 09:12 |
| red2kic | Tuplad: I think you can switch to classic Gnome. | 09:12 |
| Jordan_U | !gnome3 | Tuplad | 09:13 |
| ubottu | Tuplad: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 09:13 |
| shcherbak | Tuplad: Who knows? | 09:13 |
| Jordan_U | !classic | Tuplad | 09:13 |
| ubottu | Tuplad: 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. | 09:13 |
| mysteriousdarren | Arachon: look at the package manager and see if anything is broken. Or update and see how it goes from there. | 09:13 |
| Tuplad | !Unity | Tuplad | 09:13 |
| ubottu | Tuplad, please see my private message | 09:13 |
| Arachon | mysteriousdarren: The thing is, I can log into a guest account perfectly alright. | 09:14 |
| veovis | In 11.04, when you click on the sound icon in the system tray, and you see album art and song info, as well as controls, is there a way to add ratings, say, under the controls? | 09:14 |
| AziaBurgi | can anyone talk me through rebuilding my grub thingy? | 09:14 |
| starZ | hi all, I've just get my upgrade to 11.04 and the desktop switcher in the panel is showing only 1 workspace.. have you ever experience that? is it because of new compiz? | 09:14 |
| mysteriousdarren | Arachon: that is very strange. So everything works normal on one, and not the other? Are the apps and programs identical? | 09:14 |
| Starminn | !grubrepair | AziaBurgi | 09:15 |
| ubottu | AziaBurgi: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 09:15 |
| Arachon | mysteriousdarren: Well, it's the same system... I just choose "Guest session" from the shutdown menu, and bam, unity's working | 09:15 |
| mysteriousdarren | starZ: just add another workspace... | 09:15 |
| Arachon | mysteriousdarren: so there's something in my home folder that came with me from Maverick | 09:15 |
| faryshta | LAcan, did you managed to do it? I am interested in your problem too. | 09:16 |
| LAcan | shcherbak, ok i think i had my auto statment in the wrong place | 09:16 |
| starZ | mysteriousdarren: thx for the answer but it doesn't work for me.. :( | 09:16 |
| mysteriousdarren | Arachon: hmmmm, is there anything that you can take out. I had the same problem when I upgraded. I cut everything except my own files and did a reinstall of the apps and programs. | 09:16 |
| LAcan | faryshta, rebooting | 09:16 |
| bison | can anyone help me | 09:17 |
| Arachon | mysteriousdarren: Well that's just it... Lots of things hidden, .gconf, .compiz etc, that I'm not sure what it does | 09:17 |
| Arachon | I guess I could load up natty in a virtual machine on my desktop, and compare the home folders | 09:17 |

| sje2 | Angelo_abe: i mean, like, how are you connecting to it? | 09:28 |
| sje2 | remote desktop? ssh? | 09:28 |
| DJones | novaria_fajar: You might be better asking that in #ubuntu-offtopic as its not strictly a support question, the offtopic channel is probably better for discussions like that | 09:28 |
| Angelo_abe | like I did yesterday with DISPLAY:myIP:0 application | 09:28 |

| sje2 | d_atharva: I'm not sure that makes sense | 09:33 |

| faryshta | bison, all gone. Let me find if there is a script to save the programs you have installed and reinstall them again. | 09:47 |
| bison | faryshta: so you mean to say that i have to re install the whole system? | 09:47 |
| zvacet | bison: back up home and etc I think that is enough | 09:48 |
| SinnerNyx | defswork: so wait. is rc.local on bootup? | 09:48 |
| visionofarun | had to install g++multilib package | 09:48 |
| faryshta | bison, if you put /home on a separate folder then settings are restored after reinstalls. | 09:48 |
| visionofarun | thanks to apt-cache | 09:48 |
| faryshta | bison, that is the only think **I** can think maybe there is another way to fix this. | 09:48 |
| defswork | SinnerNyx, rc.local gets called from the normal init.d bootup regime | 09:48 |
| ben42 | when i log at root from a user terminal and i want to start a graphical app (as root so) is ther something to do ? because i get errors : ...connection->initialization_error == NULL... | 09:48 |
| zvacet | bison: do you have any valuable files if you do back them up too | 09:48 |
| ben42 | as* | 09:48 |
| Axlin | uberfrau: yeah, i don't have an explanation for you, but it has something to do with firefox + the latest 32 bit flash plugin. i fixed it with a FF extension called flash-aid. you can either disable "npviewer tweak for 64b system with 32b plugin" or use have flash-aid download the latest 64 bit flahs preview. it'll also keep it up to date | 09:49 |
| Axlin | either solution worked for me | 09:49 |
| defswork | SinnerNyx, /etc/profile gets run each time a user logs in (to a shell - not into X) | 09:49 |
| bison | faryshta: docs and settings | 09:49 |
| uberfrau | so i should just go get t his 'flash-aid'? is it ff4 compatible? :/ | 09:49 |
| SinnerNyx | defswork: I'm sure you can guess i'm an Ubuntu newb. I'm trying to disable the screen blanking in Ubuntu Server | 09:49 |
| Axlin | yes uberfrau | 09:49 |
| bison | faryshta: is there an other way to fix it? | 09:49 |
| welloong | test | 09:49 |
| uberfrau | k, going to try that then, Axlin, brb =) | 09:49 |
| zvacet | bison: doc and settings are in home | 09:49 |
| Charbel | hi, why i don't have visual effects in system>preferences>appearance !? | 09:49 |
| SinnerNyx | defswork: So I have no idea about init.d bootup regimes :S | 09:50 |
| uberfrau | update your graphics card drivers, Charbel :D | 09:50 |
| blueonyx | hi, i just branched a bzr repo from lp which says i should run ./configure, but there is only a configure.ac, what to do? | 09:50 |
| faryshta | bison, I don't know. I can't think on any other way. | 09:50 |

| bison | faryshta: how about fixing the xorg? | 09:53 |
| bison | faryshta: or grub loader maybe | 09:53 |
| faryshta | bison, ask on reddit, they might help you on finding if xorg is the problem. | 09:54 |
| === syockit_ is now known as syockit | ||
| faryshta | bison, does grub start? Can you access your system on shell mode? If those answers are yes then the problem is in xorg. | 09:55 |
| uberfrau | err, Axlin, idk how to look at add-ons with ff4 :/ | 09:55 |

| crlcan81 | ok that was annoying.. | 09:57 |
| faryshta | bison, can you access grub? | 09:57 |
| bison | faryshta: how | 09:58 |
| FuzzyFox0 | anyone? list all networked printers? | 09:58 |
| shcherbak | FuzzyFox0: nast will list lan, but do not distingish printers | 09:58 |
| bison | faryshta: what is the command? | 09:59 |
| FuzzyFox0 | shcherbak: can it distinguish if port 9100 is open? | 09:59 |

| FuzzyFox0 | shcherbak: any thing more specific? Im not the most tech user however I can get my head round most things | 10:01 |
| faryshta | reboot your computer, after the bios loads push F8 (or one of those) | 10:01 |
| faryshta | bison, | 10:01 |
| defswork | FuzzyFox0, listing networked printers is usually via network device discovery | 10:01 |
| uberfrau | Axlin: i ran the script after downloading it, and it doesn't seem to have solved my problem. You stated that there is a "npviewer tweak for 64b system with 32b plugin" option, but i do not see it... | 10:01 |
| faryshta | bison, then you should see a list of boot options. | 10:01 |
| defswork | FuzzyFox0, hpnp or lpr printers won't show though | 10:01 |
| bison | faryshta: ya, i can see the options | 10:02 |
| faryshta | bison, then you must choose the option to load on shell. | 10:02 |
| FuzzyFox0 | defswork: some show but not all | 10:02 |
| Axlin | it's under tweaking options uberfrau | 10:02 |
| FuzzyFox0 | defswork: most of the printers here use IPP so I need their ips :P | 10:02 |
| faryshta | bison, its probably the second option. | 10:02 |
| defswork | port scanning to find printers shows that somewhere you aren't managing your network properly | 10:02 |
| bison | faryshta: recovery mode? | 10:02 |
| Axlin | uberfrau: and if it doesn't work, i know of a couple people including myself that have had success with the 64 bit flash preview | 10:02 |
| faryshta | bison, yes, then you must see a ton of commands, after a while will ask you to log in. | 10:02 |
| uberfrau | oh i see it now, sorry for overlooking it. what does it do though? | 10:03 |
| blueonyx | uberfrau: what do you mean? | 10:03 |

| blueonyx | uberfrau: there is nothing special hidden, just .bzrignore and .bzr | 10:03 |
| bison | faryshta: i already re configure the graphics | 10:03 |
| bison | still no luck | 10:03 |
| uberfrau | . = hidden, just making sure you knew that | 10:04 |
| uberfrau | =) | 10:04 |
| faryshta | Well but we at least now know where is the problem. | 10:04 |
| blueonyx | uberfrau: normally i know how to compile, but i'm not into autoconf | 10:04 |
| faryshta | bison, I am not knowledged at xorg so I can't help you any further :( | 10:04 |

| uberfrau | blueonyx, idk about your specific issue, sorry buddy :o | 10:05 |
| blueonyx | xD | 10:06 |
| bison | faryshta: its ok...i understand, im still hoping that solution will be given to me rather than install the system all over again | 10:06 |
| celthunder | bison: still having issues? | 10:06 |

| faryshta | bison, I seriously recommend reddit for that. Here people seem very unattentive. | 10:06 |
| uberfrau | Axlin, disabling that setting fixed it, thank you very much for pointing me to that add-on | 10:06 |
| celthunder | bison: did the open source drivers help? | 10:06 |
| Ajc1 | do we know how quickly a fix will be found for the nVidia issue: addiitonal drivers / the driver is activated but not currently in use ... ? thx | 10:06 |

| Axlin | well... that's bad | 10:07 |
| bison | celthunder: dunno what to type | 10:07 |
| celthunder | bison: i'd start with lsmod find your video drivers and modprobe -r them | 10:07 |
| celthunder | bison: i'd then apt-cache search nvidia and find the open source ones and install them | 10:08 |
| bison | celthunder: asking for a login in terminal | 10:08 |

| chrisbster | bison: Are you new to Linux? | 10:12 |
| xmaz | I had this issue, what i did to repair is was, checking the disk. | 10:12 |
| AziaBurgi | toggles: any suggestions on fixing that? | 10:12 |
| celthunder | bison: ??????? what does that have todo with anything set a .bash_profile if you want it has nothing to do with your X issue | 10:12 |
| uberfrau | i just want flash to work, it's too important x.x | 10:12 |
| bison | chrisbster: yes sir | 10:12 |
| Axlin | uberfrau: you can restore the original version of flash with the flash plugin in software center. first you might want to try the 64 bit plugin if you haven't though, unless that's the one giving you issues | 10:13 |
| celthunder | uberfrau: you on 64 bit or 32? | 10:13 |
| bison | celthunder: ok...sorry, i already type lsmod | 10:13 |

| uberfrau | my computer is 64, and i'm pretty sure i installed 64 as well | 10:13 |
| NET||abuse | but it just does nothing. | 10:13 |
| Axlin | uberfrau: i have to head to bed though. i'll let others take over. sorry i couldn't get you to a final solution, good luck :) | 10:13 |
| celthunder | bison: find your video modules and modprobe -r them | 10:13 |
| Furai` | Hello. | 10:13 |
| uberfrau | Axlin, is okay as long as i get sound back -_- | 10:14 |
| celthunder | uberfrau: make a 32 bit chroot if 64 bit flash fails (which it does) and install it in that | 10:14 |
| ben42 | i installed xchat on ubuntu 11.4 with unity but now i can't get it back from the dock because it goes in the inexisting system tray | 10:14 |
| chrisbster | bison: sudo is what we use to change the system in any way. It stands for super user. Usually, it has the same password as your user account. | 10:14 |
| celthunder | uberfrau: then you get your 64 bit system with the 32 bit flash | 10:14 |
| uberfrau | celthunder: i have no idea how to do that ._. | 10:14 |

| bp0 | uberfrau, thats what you should use | 10:15 |
| dvbuser | Question: why does different versions of Ubuntu supply different versions of Unison in synaptic package manager? | 10:15 |
| uberfrau | bp0, that's what i installed, it killed my sound | 10:15 |
| bp0 | uberfrau, it killed your sound in flash? | 10:16 |
| uberfrau | yes | 10:16 |
| uberfrau | youtube :/ | 10:16 |
| bison | chrisbster: agpgart | 10:16 |
| faryshta | uberfrau, it killed your entire system sound or the flash sound? | 10:16 |

| Starminn | cretsiah: Avast! and ClamAV are popular choices. | 10:17 |
| uberfrau | bp0: Shockwave Flash 10.3 d162 | 10:17 |
| Starminn | cretsiah: Avast! is also nice on Windows, so if you have a dual-boot you could always use the same on both. ;) | 10:17 |
| bison | how to use modprobe | 10:17 |
| celthunder | bp0: and flash-aid is better than finding the one that works yourself how? | 10:17 |

| alphamale | how can i install ubuntu on a usb from puppy linux | 10:19 |
| kevinyoung | think you | 10:19 |
| alphamale | i have the iso and a usb partition | 10:19 |
| Starminn | cretsiah: You're welcome. By the way, most people with Linux for a while use ClamAV. I used Avast! but it stopped working on me, so ClamAV is the "cool kid" in Linux world. Try both though and see what suits you. | 10:19 |
| alexUnder | is there anyway to create a custom command (word) to run a specific executable in a location? example "sudo program" to run "~/myapps/Cool/program" ??? is this what softlinking is? :/ | 10:19 |
| kevinyoung | gimp is same to photoshop | 10:19 |
| Starminn | alexUnder: Or making an alias? | 10:19 |
| celthunder | alphamale: dd -o <iso> <usb> that'll put the iso on your usb drive so you can install from it | 10:19 |
| jgould | I have .debs for the new kernel. I've been bitten by the bug that affects the i915 chipset | 10:19 |

I've done dual boots before, and never run into issues, but this is different for me. I try the install or Live of Ubuntu 10.10 or 10.04 and it won't show my partitions, it just shows free space. I tried GParted and nothing. I can mount the NTFS partition and can read/write files just fine, but nothing. I was hoping the gur | 10:20 |
| chrisbster | u's might have some suggestions. :-0 | 10:20 |
| bp0 | uberfrau, thats the version i've got and no sound probles, I'm on maverick (10.10) Firefox 4, amd64 | 10:20 |
| alexUnder | Starminn @ im not sure what i need for this >_< | 10:20 |
| uberfrau | faryshta: it disabled my headphones... | 10:20 |
| alphamale | i can copy the iso onto the usb no problem | 10:20 |
| Starminn | alexUnder: I've never messed with them. Just throwing out some suggestions to help with your search while you wait for somebody who can answer you properly. | 10:20 |
| alphamale | but how do i install | 10:20 |
| AziaBurgi | does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? i have booted from a live cd | 10:20 |
| cretsiah | might try clamav first.... system was working fine ..... now its slow from the bootup bios screen :/ | 10:20 |

| faryshta | uberfrau, then the problem isn't in flash, its in your system settings. | 10:21 |

| bison | celthunder: there ist | 10:27 |
| bison | celthunder: there are list | 10:27 |
| chrisbster | celthunder: I was thinking about finding them file structure wise and wiping out the NVIDIA files, but you're correct, lsmod seems like the way to go, since that wouldn't change the dependency files. | 10:28 |

| gabryatfendor | hi, looking for help with the new ubuntu release | 10:30 |
| gabryatfendor | i installed it yesterday, but it's very slow and choppy | 10:30 |
| cretsiah | does any1 know how some1 can hack a browser to create a chat?? it happened to me yesterday now my system is clapped out | 10:30 |
| celthunder | bison: wgetpaste or curlpaste (you may have to install them with apt-get install) | 10:30 |
| ikonia | celthunder: that is offtopic here | 10:30 |
| celthunder | chrisbster: i don't want him to uninstall them though just unload them | 10:31 |
| ikonia | celthunder: sorry - not you | 10:31 |

| van7hu | hello, is there a way improving the speed of hibernate? | 10:31 |
| faryshta | celthunder, I doubt he can paste bin something from shell. | 10:31 |
| Starminn | faryshta: I was thinking the same, haha. | 10:31 |
| celthunder | faryshta: it's like 530 am and i'm on like no sleep again...give me a break | 10:31 |
| celthunder | :) | 10:31 |
| chrisbster | van7hu: Only if you're willing to work on conditionally throwing out some info | 10:32 |
| shcherbak | cretsiah: what site (in /msg) | 10:32 |
| chrisbster | van7hu: Hibernate literally takes everything in active memory and writes it out to the HD. | 10:32 |
| shcherbak | cretsiah: Oh, and what browser? | 10:32 |
| Feyisayo | I'm dual-booting windows and Natty. But when I try to boot to Natty my display is messed up and I see coloured lines and I can't go further. Can anyone help? | 10:32 |
| faryshta | celthunder, I just found that funny not trying to be offensive at all. | 10:33 |
| van7hu | chrisbster: windows seven is more faster, I just wonders about ubuntu | 10:33 |
| chrisbster | van7hu: The information in Ubuntu utilizes meory differently | 10:33 |
| chrisbster | memory* | 10:34 |
| bison | celthunder: sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: permission denied | 10:34 |
| robin0800 | Feyisayo, try to log out and choose classic you may have to reboot | 10:34 |
| chrisbster | van7hu: What I mean is, Ubuntu usually loads more stuff into memory for us to speed up system response time | 10:34 |
| celthunder | bison: ? sudo su - type in your user passwrod then type passwd set a root password and then type apt-get install one of the two packages | 10:34 |
| van7hu | chrisbster: I see, thanks | 10:35 |
| celthunder | van7hu: chrisbster you can increase hibernate speed...depending on other factors though | 10:35 |
| * jgould finds a wall and beats his head into it | 10:35 | |
| celthunder | van7hu: chrisbster you can suspend to ram instead of hdd for instance... | 10:36 |
| Rehan | I'm trying to copy an image of my ubuntu install to my USB flash drive. How can I make it so that there's a GRUB install on the usb flash drive too after I use dd to copy it over? Thank you very much. | 10:36 |
| faryshta | van7hu, W7 is a cheater on booting matters. It loads the graphic enviroments first. | 10:36 |
| chrisbster | van7hu: Correct, you could go and find/code something that will conditionally not save certain things in memory and that should speed up response time | 10:36 |
| chrisbster | celthunder: Can you? I always thought that DDR3 lost information when it lost power. | 10:37 |
| whatisthat | Is there a way to keep things like a clock screenlet above the Video window even in fullscreen mode? | 10:37 |
| celthunder | chrisbster: it does | 10:38 |
| MohammadAG | Is there a way to reinstall all gnome-applets that I should have in Ubuntu classic? I had to delete them all from config and I only have the app launcher left | 10:38 |
| celthunder | chrisbster: van7hu you combine suspend to disk with suspend to ram.... | 10:38 |
| celthunder | chrisbster: van7hu that way it goes fast and if you lose power completely it's ok | 10:38 |
| chrisbster | celthunder: But isn't that like sleeping, but hibernating at the same time? | 10:39 |
| celthunder | chrisbster: something like that...benefits of both | 10:39 |
| Feyisayo | robin0800, I can't log in because of the messed up display | 10:39 |
| whatisthat | Is there a way to keep things like a clock screenlet above the Video window even in fullscreen mode? | 10:40 |
| chrisbster | celthunder: I'm honestly not following how that could go faster when we have to do more file operations. it's also late, and I'm kinda slow | 10:40 |
| Tiktalik | yay! the chat's dead | 10:41 |
| celthunder | chrisbster: is he trying to increase hibernate shutdown or power up | 10:41 |
| chrisbster | celthunder: Speed up shutdown | 10:42 |
| celthunder | bison: still there? | 10:42 |

| ubottu | astropirate: 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. | 10:44 |

| celthunder | Feyisayo: find them in apt then install modprobe -r the existing ones and modprobe up the right ones | 11:05 |
| adam__ | It happens in both Unity and Classic, so I assume it's a compiz issue. | 11:05 |
| json | celthunder, yes, thank you, thank you ! | 11:05 |

| mar_je | so | 11:05 |
| chrisbster | bison: celthunder OK, we are going to (dare i say it) log you in as root | 11:05 |
| chrisbster | bison: celthunder I promised myself I would never do this... | 11:05 |

| chrisbster | bison: celthunder bison, logout and login with the name 'root' and the password as your user password | 11:07 |
| Blackflowers | wn1zid so far i've gotten more help here since i've joined the channel than in the past 4 days of asking around everywhere else. | 11:07 |
| Blackflowers | I almost had the machine pulled apart and was looking to see if the mainboard was bad. | 11:07 |
| celthunder | chrisbster: ? his root password is his user password? that's just dumb | 11:07 |
| wn1zid | well, i would wipe the drive and put ubuntu in its place and be done with it. | 11:07 |
| mar_je | you should have option (with icon like a curved window) ;d | 11:07 |
| chrisbster | bison: celthunder that's what I was guessing | 11:07 |

| g[r]eek | Hello. We've made a habit of only using LTS ubuntu server releases. But over the last 5 years, we haven't really leverage LTS in any way directly. Is there any risk to just going straight to 11.04? Or do I benefit by using LTS 10.04 in some way that I don't know about? Thanks. | 11:35 |
| Seven_Six_Two | uh oh. I'm going to have to install 11.04 in order to participate... Is gnome in 11.04 similar enough to 10.10? | 11:36 |
| gboers | gnome itself is | 11:36 |
| sara2010 | The_Phoenix .. i m uning ubuntu 10.10 | 11:36 |
| Feyisayo | celthunder, thanks so much. I'll try your advice ASAP. Thanks | 11:36 |
| gboers | but the standard interface is unity in 11.04 | 11:36 |
| sara2010 | and i working on openoffice calc | 11:36 |
| gboers | Infact I'm running ubuntu 11.04 with gnome 3 =D | 11:36 |
| Seven_Six_Two | gboers, so no huge surprises? | 11:36 |
| sara2010 | i m entring 3+ but + not comeing with 3 | 11:37 |

| Seven_Six_Two | gboers, no I tried unity on 10.04. not for me | 11:37 |
| gboers | #rchavik what's the problem | 11:37 |
| magum | could somebody please tell me how I can close my gnome session and go to the login screen from the console? | 11:38 |
| Roger_Bonjabee | hello :D | 11:38 |

| Chepoll | magum: press ctrl alt F1 | 11:38 |
| celthunder | magum: ctrl alt f1 ps and kill the x session | 11:38 |

| th^^ | g[r]eek: when it comes to servers, they should "just run and work, and change as little as possible", LTS is for this ;) | 11:41 |
| Seven_Six_Two | g[r]eek, the newer it is, the more likely it is that there are still bugs. If you *need* it to work, use LTS if you can. | 11:41 |

| Kre10s | can I rersize the partition, make a new one, move the data, delete the previous, and resize the new one to full size? | 12:31 |
| syockit | trap22, if you're lucky, you might get the plugins you want for audacious. I don't know just what "audacious-plugins" package provides. It lists many audio output, and at the end has this "And many more!" line that makes me wonder. It may or may not contain the "31-band EQ" | 12:31 |

| qw | hello how is u? | 13:02 |
| qw | i try to apt-get uninstall but no work in synaptic | 13:03 |
| evoain | too complicated | 13:03 |
| Dazzled1 | hmm, I'm under the impression that Natty boots significantly slower then 10.10 | 13:04 |
| qw | apt-get help | 13:04 |
| Dazzled1 | also when shutting down, seems to take afes | 13:04 |
| qin | qw: sudo apt-get remove <package name> | 13:04 |
| LetsGo67 | Hey room! Ubuntu is not quite my cup of tea. It's difficult with two monitors! Some of my desktop icons are missing. Can anyone help please? | 13:04 |
| qw | ok thx | 13:04 |
| Pici | qw: We need more information than that. What are you trying to uninstall? Why isn't it working? | 13:04 |
| Pici | [B[B | 13:04 |
| magica | haha nice can use ubuntu | 13:04 |
| coz_ | Dazzled1, I think it is likely due to hardware differences,, is this a desktop or laptop? | 13:04 |
| Dazzled1 | LetsGo67: using TwinView or Seperate X? | 13:04 |
| __Alex_ | Dazzled1: Not to say ubuntu is Bad at any way, ubuntu is great! But it is slow | 13:04 |
| Dazzled1 | coz_: laptop, 10.10 was lightning fast | 13:05 |
| DannyButterman | Hi there. Does anyone here use Phatch on ubuntu ? | 13:05 |
| degreefkurt | nox | 13:05 |
| __Alex_ | Dazzled1: Try to install XFCE | 13:05 |
| __Alex_ | and remove Gnome | 13:05 |
| LetsGo67 | Dazzled: *Unity*, sorry, is not my cup of tea. It's the built-in monitor manager. i set it up so the mouse "goes" from my laptop screen to my 19' 4x3 screen. | 13:05 |
| degreefkurt | bestaat staat er een patch | 13:05 |
| coz_ | Dazzled1, not surprising,, even though most of the developers use laptops... 11.04 has exhibited different boot speeds and glitches on several systems I have installed it on | 13:06 |
| __Alex_ | !xubuntu | Dazzled1 | 13:06 |
| ubottu | Dazzled1: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 13:06 |

| bazhang | Chepoll, the wired chipset | 13:07 |
| coz_ | Dazzled1, give it about a month,,, most glitches should have been worked out by then, although ,, 10.04 was LTS,, and until 12.04,, I would consider every version inbetween,, experimental | 13:07 |

| LetsGo67 | tyreza: i got part of it. | 13:15 |
| crystal-cola | Can I put ubuntu back to normal? | 13:15 |
| ramshot | Greets. I'm having some trouble with Unity. When it merges the software tool bar with the top bar, it seems to be leaving out some of the menu items. For example, Zend studio is missing "File" and "Help". And there are items missing even under the menus that are there. Seems strange to me, a bug or a setting? | 13:15 |
| Pici | !classic | crystal-cola | 13:15 |

| crystal-cola | thanks! | 13:15 |
| zvacet | LetsGo67: that is good question but wrong address | 13:15 |
| tyreza | simply i got 3 pc runing on ubuntu, i need to find one of my hard disk location, so i got my hard disk serial number how to identify my hard disk in which computer ? | 13:15 |

| tyreza | hello | 13:18 |
| tyreza | what up ? there is no answer | 13:18 |
| Chepoll | bazhang: sorry, forgot to attach the ifconfig. Ifconfig for eth0 ::: link encap:ethernet hwaddr 00:1e:...... | 13:18 |
| Chepoll | sorry for the early enter | 13:19 |
| tenX | ali_: cant really supply a guide but you will like linux terminals. the win cmd is a joke compared to it | 13:19 |
| DannyButterman | LetsGo67: yes you can, you can use XDMPC for instance | 13:19 |
| Pici | tyreza: I personally don't understand what you are asking. | 13:19 |
| zvacet | LetsGo67: do you mean something like cluster | 13:19 |
| LetsGo67 | Bye bye! | 13:19 |
| tyreza | very simple my question Pici let me explain you again | 13:19 |
| ali_ | tenx:ok thanks | 13:19 |
| bazhang | Chepoll, what does sudo dhclient eth0 show? ie does it get a lease or not | 13:19 |
| tyreza | i got a serial number of one my hard disk, which is present on one computer, i got 3 pc all 3 pc are in ubuntu, and also 3 pc are in a same network | 13:20 |
| Chepoll | bazhang: operation not permitted, I think I have to chattr resolv.conf , right? | 13:21 |
| tyreza | my question is simply how to IDENTIFY my hard disk location ( the presence of my hard disk in which computer) from the command line | 13:21 |
| bazhang | Chepoll, what did you remove to get in that state? | 13:21 |
| tyreza | to able to find my hard disk | 13:21 |
| h4x0rs | Hi all, i have a problem with internet connection since i upgraded to 10.10, ifconfig gives me only one interfece 'lo' | 13:21 |
| h4x0rs | Hi all, i have a problem with internet connection since i upgraded to 10.10, ifconfig gives me only one interfece 'lo' | 13:22 |
| Chepoll | bazhang: as in, the permission or not having connection? All I did was dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and -reconfigure keyboard-layout | 13:23 |
| crystal-cola | Ubuntu just crashed!! thats the new upgade | 13:23 |
| h4x0rs | crystal-cola: help! | 13:23 |
| crystal-cola | now im using classic hopefully it wont crash again | 13:23 |
| tyreza | is it clear now ? Pici | 13:23 |
| h4x0rs | Hi all, i have a problem with internet connection since i upgraded to 10.10, ifconfig gives me only one interfece 'lo' | 13:23 |
| crystal-cola | Idon't know anything about ifconfig sorry | 13:24 |
| Pici | tyreza: This should show your disk serial numbers: sudo lshw -C disk | 13:24 |
| Dark_Star1 | DOn't upgrade a virtualised ubuntu.. Mine just died :) | 13:24 |
| Pici | tyreza: Much clearer, I just had to test that command on a computer that wasn't virtualized. | 13:24 |
| h4x0rs | Hi all, i have a problem with internet connection since i upgraded to 10.10, ifconfig gives me only one interfece 'lo' | 13:24 |
| Dark_Star1 | Well don't upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 | 13:24 |
| h4x0rs | crystal-cola: ? | 13:24 |
| qin | tyreza: lshw (why do you need serial?) | 13:24 |
| Chepoll | bazhang: if I knew how I ended up like this, I would be much less frustrated. as a sidenote, this problem occured the same boot as I got prompted to update a couple of stuff and upgrade a couple of others. I don't think that's related though | 13:24 |
| h4x0rs | Dark_Star1: i can't upgrade because there is no internet | 13:24 |
| LjL | h4x0rs: don't keep repeating so often please | 13:25 |
| h4x0rs | LjL: ok | 13:25 |
| Dark_Star1 | h4x0rs: It's not a virtualised ubuntu is it? | 13:25 |
| h4x0rs | No. | 13:25 |
| tyreza | but i don't want to run that command in each individual computer Pici that's why i m talking about all the 3 computer on a same network qin | 13:25 |
| Chepoll | bazhang: also my /etc/network/interfaces has "lo", not "eth0". I never touched that file. | 13:26 |
| h4x0rs | Dark_Star1: No. | 13:26 |
| Pici | tyreza: Unless you want to ssh into each computer, or use some sort of multi-ssh tool, there isn't a remote way of getting that information. | 13:26 |
| High_Priest | tyreza, ssh to each and run it | 13:26 |
| Bochum | is there a way to move the top-bar at the bottom? | 13:26 |
| tyreza | i don't want to ssh to each one | 13:27 |
| coz_ | Bochum, in Unity,, I dont think so,, it is not a gnome-panel under unity | 13:27 |
| qin | tyreza: Em? list of ip to ssh with exec with lshw with some knowledge of bash (why do you need serial?) | 13:27 |
| h4x0rs | Hi all, i have a problem with internet connection since i upgraded to 10.10, ifconfig gives me only one interfece 'lo' | 13:27 |
| Dazzled1 | my login screen shows fine on dual monitors, but when I enter my name and pass, the left screen seems to have trouble to render | 13:27 |
| Dazzled1 | but when I click something/touch a key, the anomaly dissappears | 13:28 |
| tyreza | just wanna discover that functionality | 13:28 |
| tyreza | fi that possible | 13:28 |
| nes_ | god i hate 11.04 lyout | 13:28 |
| nes_ | layout* | 13:28 |
| qin | tyreza: you can skip one coz it would be ilogical, so you needto ssh only to two (or one if you use one locally) | 13:28 |
| coz_ | Dazzled1, if you are using 11.04 I can verify that it has some video issues on dual monitors... | 13:29 |
| Dark_Star1 | h4x0rs: I'm in the middle of something myself.. Give me a few mins and I'll get back to you | 13:29 |
| Dazzled1 | coz_: ah ok, yeah I'm on Natty | 13:29 |
| coz_ | Dazzled1, rather 11.04 Unity | 13:29 |
| h4x0rs | Dark_Star1: ok, thanks. | 13:29 |
| Dazzled1 | coz_: yeah, I'm still trying to get used to it :) | 13:29 |
| nes_ | the bar on the left is pants <,< | 13:30 |
| tyreza | then how nagios get information without sshing to any computer ? Pici qin High_Priest | 13:30 |
| Chepoll | Dark_star1: his problem and mine seem similar too. My internet connection too went all of a suddent and my /etc/network/interfaces too enables "lo" only. | 13:30 |
| High_Priest | tyreza, snmp | 13:30 |
| tyreza | so it is possible ? | 13:31 |
| Pici | tyreza: snmp is less likely to be installed and configured than ssh. | 13:31 |
| coz_ | Dazzled1, at this point Unity on dual monitors ,, especially if you are enabling dual monitors after boot,, has issues,, there is quite a bit of video garble in that situation,, so I am not surprise it does this while you boot to dual set up | 13:32 |
| tyreza | i don't have any experience with snmp | 13:32 |
| elb0w | ugh unity | 13:33 |
| elb0w | makes me sad | 13:33 |
| High_Priest | tyreza, which is exactly why you should listen to our advice and go with ssh, you'll get it done in 2 mins | 13:33 |
| coz_ | Dazzled1, I believe it is related to nux which is an open-source java toolkit which was necessary , in part , for helping compiz to work on Unity | 13:33 |
| Dazzled1 | coz_: ah, I see | 13:33 |
| === Guilherme is now known as Guest39457 | ||
| coz_ | Dazzled1, nux allows for " and efficient XML pricessing" unquote :) | 13:34 |
| tyreza | i know that method don't worry High_Priest , but it is not what i m looking for | 13:34 |
| coz_ | Dazzled1, rather "an efficient" | 13:34 |
| coz_ | processing | 13:34 |
| High_Priest | tyreza, then explain exactly what you are looking for and what you are trying to achieve and someone might actually help | 13:34 |
| tyreza | so if i understand correctly, if nagios is present on all 3 compter what i have to do to find my disk ? | 13:34 |
| High_Priest | tyreza, snmp doesn't have anything to do with that | 13:35 |
| tyreza | from the command line ? | 13:35 |
| charlene | exit | 13:35 |
| tyreza | how to check if snmp is present on my computer or not ? | 13:35 |
| tomekh | hi. anyone here also have problem with thunar starting (first run) for about 10 seconds? (ubuntu 11.04) | 13:36 |
| coz_ | Dazzled1, I simply switched to classic gnome ,,, much easier to deal with dual set ups.. | 13:36 |
| coz_ | tomekh, sorry ,, I dont use xfce | 13:36 |
| Dazzled1 | coz_: yeah, think I might consider switching back as well | 13:37 |
| tomekh | coz_: currently this problem also occurs with nautilus. | 13:37 |
| coz_ | Dazzled1, well you dont have to swtich to a previous version...simply log off and log onto classic :) | 13:38 |
| f21 | hallo | 13:38 |
| Dazzled1 | coz_: ah, yeah, that's what I meant :p | 13:38 |
| coz_ | tomaw, oh! i didnt see that problem,, how does it show itself? | 13:38 |
| Chepoll | h4x0rs: are you still here? | 13:39 |
| coz_ | Dazzled1, ph phew! I thought you were going to downgrade :) | 13:39 |
| syockit | elb0w, oh poor dear, what's wrong? Why don't you try unity-2d instead? | 13:39 |
| elb0w | syockit, it broke one of our systems that runs 3 monitors | 13:40 |
| elb0w | had to roll back to 10.10 | 13:40 |
| coz_ | tomekh, that was meant for you how does it show itself in nautilus? | 13:40 |
| elb0w | and its by far not a developer desktop | 13:40 |
| elb0w | Also the "classic" version just through errors | 13:40 |
| syockit | elb0w, ah I see so it doesn't play nice with multi-heads? | 13:40 |

| Dazzled1 | maxagaz: PrntScrn works fine here | 13:42 |
| maxagaz | Dr_Willis, I use the normal gnome | 13:42 |
| Dazzled1 | the only feeling I have about Unity atm is that it's form over function | 13:43 |
| maxagaz | Dazzled1, why not for me then after my update then ? | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | maxagaz: so state the actual tech support issue. | 13:43 |

| fi8er1 | Cannot change functionality of Super-Key | 13:44 |
| coz_ | JohnFlux, I have said this many times... the one consistent thing with upgrading one version to the next, is that it is consistently inconsistent,,, If you can,, I suggest a clean install after backing up any important documents etc | 13:44 |
| maxagaz | I'm so unhappy of this new version | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | fi8er1: change it to what? You check at -> http://askubuntu.com/search?q=change+super+key ? | 13:45 |
| JohnFlux | coz_: who on earth reinstalls from fresh every 6 months? | 13:45 |
| JohnFlux | coz_: seems like a huge waste of time | 13:46 |
| Dr_Willis | JohnFlux: takes me all of perhaps 40 min. | 13:46 |
| Dr_Willis | But since my main hobby is doing support here. I like to try things out from 'default' settings for the releases also. | 13:46 |
| coz_ | JohnFlux, yeah I agree,, however,, I still advocate clean installs,,, but yeah many people rely on upgrades,,, the issue becomes troubleshooting after that. | 13:47 |
| tyreza | yes it is present snmpd , Pici | 13:47 |
| AndroiDoughBoy | Does anyone know where my windows partition would be mounted in Ubuntu when installed through Wubi? | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | AndroiDoughBoy: I think wubi auto mounts it somewhere. Ive seen that asked befor. but i cant rember where exactly | 13:47 |

| marcelC | Ciao a tutti! I need to install some packages, and they are not in the defalut repros, I would like to enable some new official repros, like backports, canonical partners, is this safe? Maybey I will need to upgrade in the future to the next ubuntu release and I don't wish to run into troubles | 13:48 |
| Pici | tyreza: Actually using it is not something I remember off the top of my head. You'll need to do some research yourself in order to determine what MIBs you need to query. | 13:48 |

| maxagaz | how to change/reset the desktop effect | 13:49 |
| maxagaz | ? | 13:49 |
| AndroiDoughBoy | Dr_Willis Thanks. Thats it. Never would have thought to look there. | 13:49 |
| maxagaz | on the normal gnome environment ? | 13:49 |
| maxagaz | is there a command line for that ? | 13:49 |
| coz_ | JohnFlux, no problem... hope you can resolve this without a clean install | 13:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Oins: also found -> http://theravingrick.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-effort-at-writing-help-for-unity.html | 13:49 |
| maxagaz | for this application | 13:49 |
| Dr_Willis | maxagaz: you mean reset compiz settings back to default? or restart compiz/metacity? | 13:49 |
| ramshot | I don't suppose there's any way to get the search functionality (super-key) from unity into "ubuntu classic"? :) | 13:50 |
| ramshot | Loved it, but had too many problems with Unity otherwise | 13:50 |
| maxagaz | Dr_Willis, reset compiz settings back to default | 13:50 |
| Dr_Willis | maxagaz: tghat url i gave mentions the command -> gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 | 13:50 |
| coz_ | ramshot, you mean for application search or file search? | 13:51 |
| Dr_Willis | maxagaz: it might need 'compiz' instead of compiz-1 for the classic desktop | 13:51 |
| ramshot | coz_: Well, it seemed to search both, but either would be better than none :) | 13:51 |
| maxagaz | Dr_Willis, that's to disable all effect or set it to default ? | 13:52 |
| coz_ | ramshot, well in classic,, you can go to system / preferences / keyboard shortcuts and look for "Search" and put in a keybinding you like ,, this is bring up the file search dialog | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | maxagaz: site says --> To reset all the Compiz settings (this includes all the plugins settings, etc.) to the default values, ..... at --> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html | 13:52 |

| newubuntu | @jrib: after rebooting of course | 14:17 |

| Halzen | ronr_: You have Gnome Shell but not Gnome? I must've missed something. | 14:29 |
| OneSquared | Hello, I need help. I would rename file (637-texte.png --> 637.png) but how ? | 14:29 |
| syockit | Did someone mention witch? Witches shall be lynched | 14:29 |
| ubuntu_ | syockit, i know that because isnt there the shell? i see nothing.. | 14:29 |
| newubuntu | jrib: tx, checking ur link out... | 14:29 |
| Halzen | OneSquared: Gnome can do that. Right-click and Rename. | 14:29 |
| Yulya | hello guys | 14:30 |
| llutz | OneSquared: rename 's/-texte//' *.png | 14:30 |
| milen8204 | OneSquared, i a terminal ? | 14:30 |
| Yulya | i have some trouble with 10.04 | 14:30 |
| Halzen | Hello, Yulya. | 14:30 |
| milen8204 | OneSquared, mv 637-texte.png 637.png | 14:30 |
| OneSquared | Halzen, There are a lot of file :/ about 248. | 14:30 |
| llutz | mv 637-texte.png 637.png | 14:30 |
| Yulya | i make backup with tar, unpack it, install grub | 14:30 |
| syockit | ubuntu_ no login at all? just blank? but you have X (GNOME/KDE/etc)? | 14:30 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: I have a Gnome shell? when did I say I have a Gnome shell? :) | 14:30 |
| Yulya | fix fstab http://paste2.org/p/1398614 | 14:30 |
| Halzen | OneSquared: Open up the folder in Nautilus and Ctrl-F. | 14:30 |
| Yulya | on first boot i got http://touhou.ru/upload/6a12b415e03838b3682c25ea0fc379a8.png | 14:31 |
| Yulya | and nothing happen | 14:31 |
| Halzen | ronr_: My bad, you said shell and I jumped to Gnome Shell for some reason. | 14:31 |
| kevinyoung_ | hi all | 14:31 |
| amr_ | howto install Gnome 3 | 14:31 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: no idea what kind of shell :) | 14:31 |
| Halzen | ronr_: Try these in terminal for your CPU and RAM: "free -m" and "cat /proc/cpuinfo" | 14:32 |
| OneSquared | There are a lot of file : 637-texte.png, 6898-look.png, 875458-nick.png, etc..... so I would a dynamic command or script for rename all file. | 14:32 |
| fredrik__ | so, just installed 11.04 and trying to understand unity. I installed wine and a windows application. How can I threw unity find this app? Wine nore the windows program shows up when I search for apps witch super-key | 14:32 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: right, thanks! I forgot the commands. | 14:32 |
| ubuntu_ | syockit, yes are all blank im using gnome, for add how i do it? | 14:32 |
| Halzen | ronr_: Good. Sorry for the confusion. | 14:33 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: I blame myself. I wasn't clear enough. | 14:33 |
| syockit | ubuntu_ tty should've been installed by default | 14:33 |
| dob1 | hi, i have sun java installed on 11.04, why if i want to install groovy too ubuntu wants to install openjdk ? i want to use groovy with sun jdk | 14:33 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: free -m gives me 492 total. don't remember what that maens. | 14:34 |
| OneSquared | I will like use sed but it's difficult... | 14:34 |
| syockit | ubuntu_ see if you have tty1.conf in /etc/init/ | 14:34 |
| Halzen | ronr_: That reads 492 MB of RAM, meaning you have 512MB installed. | 14:34 |
| jrib | OneSquared: you need to describe what sort of rule you want to use to rename them- | 14:34 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: that's.... pathetic. | 14:35 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: thanks :) | 14:35 |
| ubuntu_ | syockit, if i install tty then work like other distro? | 14:35 |
| Halzen | ronr_: It's a bit under par, yeah. xD | 14:35 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: how do I know how many cores the cpu has? if it prints out only one cpu it means only one core? | 14:36 |
| ubuntu_ | syockit, yes ive this file there... | 14:37 |
| Halzen | ronr_: There will be a line around the middle of the print with "cpu cores". As you know, multiple cores will fit on one physical CPU, so you have to be careful what you read. | 14:37 |
| syockit | ubuntu_ the conf file is installed by upstart (I found out by doing 'dpkg -S /etc/init/tty1.conf'), and I think it is also installed in your distro | 14:38 |
| llutz | OneSquared: if the files all start with a number and you want to remove ALL text,s tarting from "-": rename 's/-[A-z]*//g' *.png | 14:38 |
| LjL | sabri_icone: http://lpi.org/eng/certification/the_lpic_program/lpic_1/exam_101_sample_questions | 14:38 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: no cores. if I run 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep core' it prints out nothing. | 14:38 |
| syockit | ubuntu_ the command 'ps' will list running processes. If you do 'ps -a | grep getty', do you get a list, or nothing? | 14:39 |
| llutz | ronr_: LANG=C grep core /proc/cpuinfo | 14:39 |
| Halzen | ronr_: That's odd. O.o | 14:39 |
| amr_ | Is it possible to find distributions based on Ubuntu using GNOME 3 is currently | 14:39 |
| ronr_ | llutz: meh? | 14:39 |
| Sidewinder1 | 10.04 and 10.10 use Gnome. | 14:40 |
| ronr_ | llutz: that gave out nothing as well. | 14:40 |
| Halzen | ronr_: Given your RAM, it's possible that you're using a CPU or motherboard that's too old to provide information that these commands can read. That's just my theory, though., | 14:40 |
| OneSquared | Thanks you llutz | 14:40 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: it's a brand new server ;) | 14:40 |
| newubuntu | jrib: ur solution didnt quite work :( | 14:40 |
| gbjk | Hi. I've just installed ubuntu 11.04 32-bit on a thinkpad t420. I've brought everything up to date with apt-get. I don't get unity. If I run unity-support-test I get 'extension "GLX" missing on display :0.0. | 14:40 |
| syockit | Sidewinder1, and 11.04 uses it partly | 14:40 |
| fredrik__ | how do I create a "launcher" that act likes an installed app in Unity? Ie when I browse installed apps I want to se the launcher | 14:40 |
| jrib | newubuntu: in what way? | 14:40 |
| gbjk | Restricted drivers shows nvidia as activated but not running. (I've seen this might be a bug). | 14:41 |
| syockit | fredrik__ it's probably a .desktop entry | 14:41 |
| robin0800 | amr_, no | 14:41 |
| newubuntu | jrib: the link told me to set my clock to 'local time' if its on 'ust' time, but its ALREADY set to 'local time' | 14:41 |
| judgen | Hi | 14:41 |
| jrib | newubuntu: well try the other option | 14:41 |
| syockit | fredrik__ maybe quite tricky to find tutorial for that one, seeing google doesn't recognize the . | 14:41 |
| newubuntu | jrib: what other option? | 14:41 |
| gbjk | dmesg doesn't suggest that the module was kicked out. | 14:42 |
| jrib | newubuntu: if it currently says "no", then change it to "yes" | 14:42 |
| Halzen | ronr_: Let's try a more specific terminal command: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l | 14:42 |
| judgen | How do i disable screen blanking properly... setting "Option" "DPMS" "no" in xorg.conf did not work. | 14:42 |
| speedy | sal | 14:42 |
| syockit | fredrik__ if you "ls /usr/share/applications" you get a list of system-installed .desktop files | 14:42 |
| newubuntu | jrib: exactly what i tried to do, but ubuntu says i dont have permission to make changes in the file | 14:42 |
| fredrik__ | syockit, But how can I make it act like a "installed app"? can I make unity find it to launch it. I dont want to pin it to the launcher.. I dont use it that often.. | 14:42 |
| speedy | sa | 14:42 |
| gbjk | What do I do next to understand 1) If my driver isn't working (nvidia 4200M) 2) Why unity bombs with GLX errors. | 14:42 |
| speedy | hello | 14:42 |
| jrib | newubuntu: use "gksudo gedit /etc/default/rcS" | 14:42 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: that gave out 1 | 14:42 |
| speedy | fuck you | 14:43 |
| llutz | judgen: xset -dpms | 14:43 |
| Halzen | ronr_: Well, then you have one CPU. We're getting...somewhere. | 14:43 |
| kevinyoung_ | how to stop command apt-get when it running | 14:43 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: the question is where ;) | 14:43 |
| nerdshell | what is the command ./setup .sh used for exactly ? | 14:43 |
| kevinyoung_ | please | 14:43 |
| Sidewinder1 | syockit, An I correct in my assumption (I'm on 10.04) that one can get to Gnome in 11.04 at boot by selection "Classic Ununtu?" | 14:43 |
| syockit | fredrik__ if you want to make your own, put it in "~/.local/share/applications" | 14:43 |
| fredrik__ | syockit, I just want to be able to browse it whitout looking up the exe file in nautilus everytime I want to start it | 14:43 |
| nerdshell | kevinyoung_: ctrl+c | 14:43 |
| judgen | llutz, still get screen blanking every five minutes without activity... | 14:44 |
| syockit | Sidewinder1, should be. If I'm not mistaken, they included the fallback in case Unity doesn't work. But I haven't tried | 14:44 |
| syockit | fredrik__ hence the .desktop file | 14:44 |
| nerdshell | what is the command ./setup .sh used for exactly ? | 14:44 |
| === fran is now known as Guest1266 | ||
| Sidewinder1 | syockit, Thanx | 14:44 |
| syockit | fredrik__ I'm pretty sure Unity also searches it | 14:44 |

| ronr_ | Halzen: It's a bit weird that it has only 512MB RAM, no? | 14:48 |
| Silekonn | Hello all. | 14:48 |
| syockit | fredrik__ first let's confirm whether it finds the .desktop entry or not. gedit that wine-extension-gif.desktop and check its name. Then use unity's finder to find it. Is it able to find? | 14:48 |
| fredrik__ | syockit, sorry.. there was a folder called wine and in that one lays my windows app.. Still.. unity cant find my windows app.. still lost.. | 14:48 |
| Halzen | ronr_: Yeah, that's odd, too. Did you build this machine, or are you renting it? | 14:49 |
| nerdshell | usr13: is it the same as the make && configure && make install ? | 14:49 |

| usr13 | ronr_: It could be that your video driver is not the same. Could be that the video player you are using is hosed up. Could be that it is streaming video and it's playing faster than it's streaming. etc. etc. | 14:54 |
| Halzen | ronr_: If you're slick with the install, you can even isolate the /home folder to its own partition. That's what I'll be doing with my upcoming Fedora install. | 14:54 |
| syockit | nerdshell, come to #ubuntu-offtopic. closely related to ubuntu, but not #ubuntu enough | 14:54 |
| nerdshell | nerdshell: usr13: it wont be possible to see what is inside the script using a text editor ? | 14:55 |

| ronr_ | usr13: same video player as the previous version, not streaming video. could be the video driver, but I'd expect the update to either keep it or update it. | 14:56 |
| Halzen | ronr_: It's really not so bad. Your app settings are saved in your /home folder, so the rest should only set you back an hour or two every six months. Software upgrades can cause a lot of problems, though. | 14:56 |
| syockit | Dink, you may have to download the flavorless unpatched version of the other to avoid dependency conflict. For example, download firefox 3.6 binaries and install to your home or /opt folder. And also make sure to make new profile | 14:56 |
| jrib | Silekonn: why install ubuntu and kubuntu? Just install kubuntu-desktop package on your ubuntu install | 14:56 |
| bperu | Hi. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 along Windows 7 Ult. 64. The Wubi installer finishes without errors but when rebooting there are no changes to the system and W7 boots up as normally. No traces of Ubuntu on the boot menu nor in the boot selector inside the W7 control panel. Anyone know what the fix is? | 14:56 |
| Silekonn | jrib: The box is a demo system. | 14:56 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: right, but wouldn't I need to reinstall all my software? | 14:57 |
| Dink | syockit: So grab from mozilla site, extract to /opt or what not and use new profile ? | 14:57 |
| Halzen | ronr_: Normally, yes. Luckily, AptOnCD is here to help: http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ | 14:57 |
| jrib | Silekonn: but you understand that installing kubuntu-desktop will give you an identical setup to what you get with kubuntu and you get to choose your environment at the login screen? | 14:57 |
| syockit | Dink, yup. I don't know of a deb package that will not conflict | 14:58 |
| usr13 | ronr Halzen: I would say that software updates can cause problems occasionally, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they cause a lot of problems. I've done a lot of upgrades with very few problems. | 14:58 |
| Halzen | ronr_: There is no slick and easy way to upgrade with no chance of issues. Thankfully, this only has to happen every 6-12 months. | 14:58 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: I'll check it out... but that's why I don't like the idea of a fresh install. Don't want to mess anything up... | 14:58 |

| edbian | Halzen: ronr_ Every 3 years if you stick with LTS releases only | 14:58 |

| ronr_ | Halzen: imho, stability is overrated. one of the reasons I use Firefox Nightly rather than stable/beta/aurora :p | 15:02 |
| donkeyinspace | hello, i would like to check a burned ubuntu cd (dont have iso) using MD5SUM, anyone know if can it be done? | 15:02 |
| user82 | jatt does it make a log? | 15:02 |
| FreeHCK | hi from russia, people! :) | 15:02 |
| ronr_ | usr13: well, I don't know where to begin in fixing the issue | 15:02 |
| nerdshell | I am using Guake terminal, and in the general preference I can set the default interpreter, what is the difference between setting bin/bash and using <user shell> ?? | 15:02 |
| Halzen | usr13: I don't speak solely from my time in IRC. Forums, blogs...all covered with upgrade woes. I understand that the success stories typically go unheard, but I'm just saying that a clean install can sidestep these problems. | 15:02 |
| edbian | bperu: You still there? | 15:02 |
| bperu | edbian: Hi, sure | 15:02 |
| jatt | user82: you can use it in combination with the -b flag | 15:02 |
| jatt | user82: and redirect the thing to a file | 15:02 |
| edbian | nerdshell: Every user has a default shell (like dash or bash or sh or something). Typically everyone's default is bash (cause let's face it bash is the standard) | 15:03 |
| syockit | ubuntu_ try "getty 8 38400 tty2"? | 15:03 |
| Halzen | edbian, ronr_: That's the spirit. I'm switching to Fedora soon to enjoy the newest app updates in their unadultered goodness. I had some good times in Ubuntu, though... | 15:03 |
| jrib | Silekonn: you should be able to select manual partitioning during install and do what you want, just choose not to format the partitions that already have data on them | 15:03 |
| nerdshell | FreeHCK: Hello, what's the temperature in there ? =) | 15:03 |
| mbeierl | Silekonn: you can use the same /home partition, but I would recommend using different /boot and / partitions if you are going to install ubuntu (gnome) and kubuntu (kde) as individual bootable operating systems | 15:03 |
| edbian | bperu: Something is going wrong with the grub boot loader. Because this is wubi I don't have an exact idea of how to fix it :( | 15:03 |
| FreeHCK | 21 C | 15:03 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: well, I installed ubuntu on the box just because... I installed ubuntu on the box. I have no real preference either way on the distro there. it's just a media center. | 15:03 |
| edbian | bperu: My suggestion is go back into the wubi installer and try to see if you can find any options or setting or anything about grub. Perhaps there is a 'install grub' buttons somwhere | 15:04 |
| nerdshell | edbian: so I have bash per default, in my case <user shell> or /bin/bash is the same, right? | 15:04 |
| FreeHCK | <donkeyinspace> try md5sum /dev/cdrom | 15:04 |
| edbian | bperu: My second suggestion is to just do a normal install | 15:04 |
| mbeierl | Silekonn: the reason is that the software updates will happen for one and might not be consistent with the other. keeping boot and root distinct avoids any possible conflicts | 15:04 |
| edbian | nerdshell: yes exactly | 15:04 |
| Halzen | ronr_: A media center won't be too picky, so there's little reason for you to be, too. :P | 15:04 |
| edbian | Halzen: I think you mean 'unaltered' | 15:04 |
| zniavre | !gnome3 | 15:04 |
| ubottu | 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. | 15:04 |
| Silekonn | mbeierl: I know to use a different / :) but I am asking if overwriting boot, swap and home is acceptable.? | 15:04 |
| bperu | edbian: I was going to do the normal install but I wasn't sure it would screw up Windows somehow (or that Windows would screw itself up in the process, which seems to be what it does best) | 15:04 |
| usr13 | Halzen: I would agree with that, ... to a certain extent. But you must admit, you see a lot of problems people have with installs too. Just because one does a fresh intall does not mean it is going to be problem free in the end. (Actually, this is a topic that should be on #ubuntu-offtopic ) | 15:05 |
| nerdshell | edbian: how can I change my interpreter ? maybe, moving from bash to zsh ?? | 15:05 |
| ronr_ | Halzen: right. just needed something that can use the ION board I have, and that's it basically. | 15:05 |
| Zuhaitz | Hi, I just bought an USB-Wifi gadget for my wlan and Linux support, the connection is OK, but is VERY, very slow, is imposible to work that way, is the second I bought, I changed the previous because happened the same thing, can someone help please? I dont know what can be the problem. | 15:05 |
| alexUnder | is there any error here? it wont run (its inside a .sh file) ------> /home/alex/.nuke/Nuke6.0 -b %f | 15:05 |
| edbian | bperu: The normal install actually has a better chance of working well. Wubi is a bit of a hack. | 15:05 |
| Halzen | edbian: Oddly enough, I meant unadulterated. It's early here. | 15:05 |
| mbeierl | Silekonn: although the suggestion to install both the ubuntu desktop and kubuntu desktop in the same installation is good. it is only the log in screen that would be slightly different. from there when you log in, it will be identical | 15:05 |
| edbian | nerdshell: You set it in /etc/passwd | 15:05 |
| Silekonn | mbeierl: I understand. I will share the home and swap partitions and recreate the others. | 15:05 |
| edbian | Halzen: :P | 15:05 |
| nerdshell | edbian: okay, needs a reboot ? | 15:05 |
| kevinyoung_ | ubuntu how to make 3d desktop please? | 15:05 |
| mbeierl | Silekonn: I would keep boot separate if you want the two installed on separate roots. | 15:05 |
| edbian | nerdshell: I think so. Perhaps just log out and back in | 15:06 |
| Halzen | usr13: Yep. The fresh-install-versus-upgrade is a fight I see picked every time I'm on here. | 15:06 |
| bperu | edbian: Do you know if there is any VM that will allow me to run the installer virtualized in Windows, and install to a real hard disk partition? | 15:06 |
| nerdshell | edbian: okya, thanks a lot, but actually what is the difference between shell and interpreter ? | 15:06 |
| edbian | bperu: Umm, virtualbox might be able to let you do that. | 15:06 |
| donkeyinspace | FreeHCK , However this will almost NEVER be the same hash as the iso image that was burned to the disk, because this command includes the empty space at the end of the disk, which changes the hash. So you must check only the part of the disk that was on the iso. | 15:06 |
| edbian | bperu: But I don't think that will be easier or safer than just installing normally :) | 15:06 |
| Halzen | bperu: Sounds like Wubi, but there's nothing that will give you a true-to-form install while operating inside of Windows. Don't be too scared of an Ubuntu Live CD. | 15:07 |

| iggyology | is clicking on Firfox... watching the icon pulse... and .... nothing happens (acer aspire one, win 7 starter garbage, Ubuntu on 4 gig flash, everything loaded ok, got internet access) | 15:08 |
| Halzen | bperu: Well, that's gonna put you in a bind. You could use Wubi, but frankly it's more trouble than its worth. | 15:08 |
| nerdshell | what does etc stands for ? | 15:08 |
| researcher | where can I get linux trainers in India? | 15:08 |
| mbeierl | Silekonn: you are welcome. That is a lot of partitions though. it is possible to have /boot on the same one as / (as in don't make a separate boot partition) and reduce your management that way | 15:08 |
| Halzen | I'm out, guys. Enjoy your Natty bugs. :P | 15:08 |
| bperu | Halzen, edbian: Thanks for your time and help. | 15:08 |
| bperu | laters all | 15:08 |
| usr13 | Halzen: Yep, there are good arguments for both sides. But I think the bottom line is that fresh-install is ok for those that have not added a lot of extra apps. while dist-upgrade is a good path for those that have heavily customized their systems and added a lot of apps. that weren't in the default install. | 15:09 |

| usr13 | Dark_Star1: Ok, just a suggestion. | 15:33 |
| dr0id | thanks, there we go :) | 15:33 |
| compdoc | Dark_Star1, try this in your interfaces file. backup the old one if you like: http://pastebin.com/0NPcD91j | 15:33 |
| Dr_Willis | owner can always change permissions.. otherwise they could lock theirselfs out. :) | 15:33 |
| noob | zizban: why? | 15:33 |
| Dark_Star1 | compdoc: Yeah. I want all network traffic on eth2 to go to vboxnet0 | 15:34 |
| Guest94920 | hola | 15:34 |

| dr0id | HOLA | 15:34 |
| Guest94920 | Hablas español | 15:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Dark_Star1: theres some Virtualbox network config setting. that lets the vbox instance show up on the lan as if it was a 'real' machine. getting an ip on the normal lan range. | 15:34 |
| zizban | noob, I don't know why. They just seem to be. I wouldn't have recommended it myself | 15:34 |

| ubottu | Guest94920: 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. | 15:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Dark_Star1: Or it can be on its own private network. | 15:34 |
| gaelfx | could someone tell me where to go to figure out how to block ISP-injected ads? (I know this is not the place for it, I just a need a good place to go) | 15:35 |
| compdoc | Dark_Star1, any vm that uses the bridge br1 will obtain an ip address from your lan's dhcp server, unless you give the VM a static ip | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | vak: check this unity guide > http://theravingrick.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-effort-at-writing-help-for-unity.html | 15:35 |
| NAHH | rg | 15:35 |
| dabukalam | gaelfx: #web? #programming? #ISPcomparators? | 15:35 |
| Dark_Star1 | Dr_Willis: I tried that (choosing the bridge network settings) but it turned out it wans't that simple... I need the guest os to repsond to a manually assigned ip address | 15:36 |
| Dark_Star1 | compdoc: Yeah I'll be manually assigning an address to the guest | 15:36 |
| lukenukem | Hey, can someone help me with a problem with Natty Narwhal? | 15:36 |

| Zuhaitz | Hi, I just bought an USB-Wifi gadget for my wlan and Linux support, the connection is OK, but is VERY, very slow, is imposible to work that way, is the second I bought, I changed the previous because happened the same thing, can someone help please? I dont know what can be the problem. | 15:49 |
| llutz | Jenk: sudo chown $USER:$USER file file= the filename of your file to change | 15:49 |
| Dark_Star1 | compdoc: I don't know how but I'll take it.. :D | 15:49 |
| compdoc | Dark_Star1, so you think its working? | 15:49 |
| iggyology | I'm in a terminal window, can anyone tell me the command line to start Firefox this way.. and I'll look for errors. | 15:50 |
| skymera | firefox | 15:50 |
| Dark_Star1 | compdoc: Well I think so.. I can ping it from my laptop so yeah | 15:50 |

| MrKeuner | hello, how can I disable a user temporarily using the shell? | 15:50 |
| llutz | Jenk: on what filesystem is the file (vfat/ntfs)? | 15:50 |
| iggyology | So I'm surprised... | 15:50 |
| noob | when | 15:51 |
| compdoc | Dark_Star1, like I said - bridges are easy | 15:51 |
| Dr_Willis | iggyology: theres also 'firefox --help' if its a user setting issue, you can try the failsafe, or other profiles. | 15:51 |
| iggyology | firefox opened just fine this way!!!!! | 15:51 |
| iggyology | weird | 15:51 |
| llutz | Jenk: chown only works on unix-filesystems. for ntfs/vfat you'll have to use mount-options (uid/gid) | 15:51 |
| kubu2 | compdoc: why gksudo? | 15:51 |
| Dr_Willis | iggyology: you dident run it with gksudo did you? | 15:51 |
| rumpe1 | iggyology, you will never need a panel or widgets ever again ;) | 15:51 |
| Jenk | llutz, Doesn't work. It's 'fuseblk' . | 15:51 |
| Dr_Willis | kubu2: its silly to run it as root. | 15:51 |
| noob | When I try to install something from the software center, it says download failed | 15:51 |
| researcher | is natty known for sound issues? | 15:51 |
| Jenk | llua, Is 'fuseblk' a Unix fs ? | 15:51 |
| kubu2 | Dr_Willis: exactly | 15:51 |
| Dark_Star1 | kubu2: because it opens up a root like finder windoww | 15:51 |
| compdoc | kubu2, thats what ppl are saying you should use to run a graphical app | 15:51 |
| nerdshell | Dr_Willis: what is gksudo ? | 15:51 |
| rumpe1 | !fuse | 15:52 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 15:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Jenk: fuse is a tool to do special kionds of filesystems. | 15:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Jenk: like accessing a .zip file as if it was a directory. | 15:52 |
| llutz | !ntfs-3g | Jenk so it's ntfs most likely | 15:52 |
| ubottu | Jenk so it's ntfs most likely: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 15:52 |
| iggyology | I just typed "firefox" in the terminal window and it opened just fine. For some reason the icon on the apps bar won't open Firefox correctly. | 15:52 |
| sine_ | how do i restart my sound system | 15:52 |
| Dr_Willis | !sudo | nerdshell | 15:52 |
| ubottu | nerdshell: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 15:52 |
| kubu2 | compdoc: no need as you want firefox to run as normal user | 15:52 |
| sine_ | the sound works at bootup for a minute or two then stops working | 15:52 |
| compdoc | kubu2, good point | 15:53 |
| bobo123 | is there a command which will tell me active services on host, which is located on a local network | 15:53 |
| dfgas | updated to 11.04 and now my screen is all messed up. besides /etc/X11/xorg.conf is there any other settings i can delete? | 15:53 |
| dfgas | so it will auto setup my screen again? | 15:53 |
| iggyology | I wonder if I have to install something to make the Firefox icon work properly... I would hate to open a terminal window every time I want to open Firefox! | 15:53 |
| kubu2 | Dark_Star1: no need to run as root | 15:53 |
| Jenk | Dr_Willis, Thanks for that... | 15:53 |
| Dr_Willis | sine_: so if you start playing a movie or song at login,, will it keep playing? if it breaks after you are 'quiet' for a while. It could be the sound drivers going into a powerdown/power savceing sleep mode and not wakeing up | 15:53 |
| Jenk | llutz, Alright, I'll transfer it to a Linux fs and try again. | 15:54 |

| iggyology | I loaded using the flash installer file that was recommended on ubuntu's website | 16:09 |
| Dr_Willis | iggyology: could be the launcher is doing somtjhing weird. make a new launcher icon for it perhaps | 16:09 |
| mado | hello | 16:09 |
| mstevens | hi | 16:09 |
| nanog | heh i forgot about gpxe | 16:09 |
| fredrik_ | Dr_Willis, but I dont want to reset the launcher.. it seems to work (if I start it in classic anyway). But the panel + launcher is gone in my unity login | 16:09 |
| iggyology | I did in fact drag a new icon into the bar, but that didn't work either | 16:09 |

| nanog | where you'll load your wlan drivers | 16:10 |

| Dr_Willis | Griffin_: You have opened up the pc/dusted it out good? a cpu overheating that easially.. i would think bne a sign of a bigger problem | 16:12 |
| krishnandu | tried modifying kernel img n headers, no result | 16:12 |
| nanog | you will just want to create an initrd (squashfs) that includes your wlan drivers | 16:12 |

| Griffin_ | its an old laptop but is there a way around it? | 16:12 |
| usr13 | mado: Set the time correctly and sync the system time with the hardware clock. | 16:12 |
| mado | usr13, ... am new to ubuntu ... how do i go about that? | 16:13 |
| nanog | the bootstrap will load the initrd which will in turn load your wlan, run a script to connect to your wifi, and then begin whetever else it is you're wanting to accomplish | 16:13 |
| nanog | if you're just wanting to have a diskless boot | 16:13 |
| zulax | Dr_Willis, thanks that was so annoying | 16:13 |
| Jessica903 | is there any kind of "make boot disk" utility that will add the drivers I select? | 16:13 |
| nanog | then you should just load the system via nfs or tftp | 16:13 |
| mado | one moment ... i'll be right back | 16:13 |
| nanog | no, this is not for beginners | 16:14 |
| nanog | or even intermediates ;) | 16:14 |

| Jessica903 | nanog, what about stubborn biatches who wanna learn? | 16:14 |
| nanog | i suggest reading all you can about doing it with a LAN adapter | 16:15 |
| nanog | then apply the differences | 16:15 |

| html_inprogress | hi all, just popping in | 16:22 |
| Dr_Willis | brilldoctor: I thought those guides were for getting Plymouth working with nvidia cards. | 16:22 |
| livingdaylight | found it... | 16:22 |
| html_inprogress | oh so thats no what his talk about????? well its a try ,,, | 16:23 |
| livingdaylight | html_inprogress, winetricks is something different still. Requires separate installation | 16:23 |
| cannonball | Is the Ctrl-Shift-u thing for unicode only in Gnome or is that a standard across all Linux desktops? What about Windows and Mac? Or do you need separate apps for that? | 16:23 |

| brilldoctor_ | Dr_Willis: what should i do? reinstall | 16:25 |
| zizban | funnylookinhat, I think it's a bug with gtk and Unity because the Gimp acts the same way | 16:25 |

| brilldoctor_ | 16:26 | |
| jmkgreen | however I have no console now | 16:26 |
| jmkgreen | just a cursor | 16:26 |
| Dr_Willis | brilldoctor_: most of those scripts/guiides are for the older ubuntu. so they could break all sorts of things in a new release. | 16:26 |
| jmkgreen | I can ssh in | 16:26 |
| vooze | Anyone else experienced that unity "freezes" your windows.. I have found a solution to fix it temp: alt f2, open somthing and its back, but anyone else tryed this? | 16:27 |
| jmkgreen | nothing seems "hung" | 16:27 |
| brilldoctor_ | Dr_Willis: so what should i do? reinstall | 16:27 |
| Dr_Willis | jmkgreen: alt-ctrl-f1 through f6 gets to no consoles? | 16:27 |
| Dr_Willis | brilldoctor_: maybe easiest fix. | 16:27 |
| stevd | hello | 16:27 |
| Dr_Willis | brilldoctor_: unless the script has some undoo feature | 16:27 |
| brilldoctor_ | ok is it possible to keep data | 16:27 |
| jmkgreen | Dr_Willis: interesting | 16:27 |
| jmkgreen | Dr_Willis: only after hitting alt+f1 do I get a console | 16:27 |

| Dr_Willis | jmkgreen: seems like its going to the X 'display' which is alt-ctral-f7 by default but X is not running. | 16:28 |
| jmkgreen | Dr_Willis: this is a headless virtual machine - no X | 16:29 |
| pwrusr | btw am running natty + gnome3 | 16:29 |
| zulax | i reset unity and unity is back, but the keyboard shortcuts dont seem to work | 16:29 |

| zizban | LAcan it should it do it automatically. | 17:30 |
| odinsbane | MitchM: It could be possible to build it even if you can't get a package to work, but probably the reason there isn't the package is because there isn't the dependancy. | 17:30 |

Might just need to use the resources for something else for a while and put the copy on the back-burner. That is all. | 17:31 |

| === Doctor is now known as Guest33096 | ||

| eternicode | iggyology, I use kdm (leftover from my KDE days) with a custom .xinitrc that launches Compiz as my window manager. No fancy "desktop environment" for me. | 17:56 |
| eternicode | gnome-do for app launching, awn dock for app management, conky for system stats. | 17:56 |
| iggyology | So, eternicode, please help me to understand if your approach is superior to a fancy desktop | 17:57 |
| iggyology | or if you're just settled in a comfort zone | 17:57 |
| eternicode | it's very much a comfort zone :) | 17:58 |
| eternicode | but I would say it's lighter than having all the DE libraries etc loaded on every startup | 17:58 |
| iggyology | eternicode, So do you know if there is a desktop environment, say that your friends use and are happy with? Something tried and true? | 17:58 |
| iggyology | I see | 17:59 |
| webben | Is anyone else having problems with PECL/PEAR failing to find packages on Ubuntu Lucid? | 17:59 |
| iggyology | lighter is good for a netbook | 17:59 |
| webben | Got this problem on 2 VMs now. | 17:59 |
| usr13 | Where are packages downloaded by apt-get (when using download-only)? | 17:59 |
| usr13 | or... how do I find a particular deb file? | 17:59 |
| llutz | usr13: /var/cache/apt/archives | 17:59 |
| eternicode | LXDE, Gnome, and KDE are all tried and true. In order of "heaviness", I would rank them KDE, Gnome, and LXDE, but that's very subjective | 17:59 |
| eternicode | great thing about linux is there's all the highly interchangeable pieces and parts. | 18:00 |
| === sebrock|away is now known as sebrock | ||

| iggyology | also, do you know about XFCE? | 18:01 |
| aneeshep | @eternicode: What is the problem with unity? | 18:02 |
| eternicode | I haven't tried Unity, nor am I going to. | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | etotheipi: just log onto gnome classic if you dislike unity | 18:02 |
| eternicode | not because I don't like it, but because I like what I have. | 18:02 |

| jimmybrite | Is there a reason why grub breaks my mbr? I tried instaling 11.04 like 6 times already, and I can't boot into linix or win7 at all, so I have to re-install 10.10 to fix my mbr so I can at least use my system. | 18:03 |
| eternicode | XFCE I think is slightly more heavy than LXDE, but it's good as well. | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | jimmybrite: boot to liveCD and reinstall grub2 | 18:04 |
| iggyology | I see why people fall into the poisoning embrace of Windows | 18:04 |
| iggyology | This is nuts | 18:04 |
| jimmybrite | I tried that, but Im sort of a noob with grub, grub-install said something like aufs needed? | 18:04 |
| iggyology | It's so much work to fart around with Linux | 18:04 |
| iggyology | I've spent 2 days fudging with this stuff | 18:04 |
| eternicode | only 2 days? :P | 18:05 |

| iggyology | lol | 18:05 |
| jimmybrite | I tried a clean install from cd, an upgrade from cd, an upgrade from 10.10 installed on my hd, and al of them meses up grub, this is insane, I've never had that happen before | 18:05 |

| fredrik_ | Ive got the "backlight is off" bug on my laptop. I tried to put the solution (setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=20) into rc.local but it wont work. I guess I need to do sudo.. .how can I solve this so the command is runned as sudo everytime a reboot? | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | jimmybrite: and check the CD for defects | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | iggyology: have you tried other distributions too? | 18:09 |
| jimmybrite | <ActionParsnip> yeah but that also happens when I do a dist-upgrade dude | 18:09 |
| Dr_Willis | fredrik_: rc.local is ran as root. You Did put it befor the exit command in rc.local? | 18:09 |
| iggyology | my launcher icon is broken. I can only open Firefox directly with the command window (Alt+F2) | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | jimmybrite: sounds about right, I always clean install | 18:09 |
| iggyology | ActionParsnip, | 18:09 |
| jimmybrite | bur yeah, md5ing the cd is a MUST, which I don't do all the time, | 18:10 |
| fredrik_ | Dr_Willis, Yepp I did. Though the screen light up for a second it turns of when I have loged in | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | iggyology: tried making a shortcut on the desktop? | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | jimmybrite: may be the cause of the issues | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | fredrik_: try the command from your users login. does it work? | 18:10 |
| fredrik_ | yepp if I do a sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=20 the screen lights up as it should | 18:10 |
| nosea | http://paste.ubuntu.com/603345/ | 18:11 |
| jimmybrite | yeah, it's grub2 and dual booting on my machine that seems to mess up, I tried to keep the old bootloader or installer the maintainers package, and both installed the same grub with deep white fonts? if that makes sense | 18:11 |
| nosea | http://paste.ubuntu.com/603345/ | 18:11 |
| iggyology | ActionParsnip, I tried, but I can't place icons on the desktop | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | fredrik_: you could add it to your X startup stuff then. Sounds like X may be some how resetting the thing when it loads. | 18:11 |
| iggyology | it's not a valid location | 18:11 |
| jimmybrite | anyhow, i'll be back later, because i'm giving out symptoms blindly.. | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | iggyology: tried gnome classic desktop, or a different DE altogether? | 18:11 |

| spankbot | oh no, I'm trying to make a file execute by typing the command "sh filename" and I get a Syntax error: "(" unexpected | 18:26 |
| coz_ | mang0, however,, it will ask what you want to install at one point,, it is a list,, arrows scroll the list SPACE bar ticks the box | 18:27 |
| coz_ | mang0, would you like to try that?? | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | spankbot: check the syntax of the file | 18:27 |
| mang0 | coz_yes | 18:27 |
| mang0 | coz_ yes* | 18:27 |

| spankbot | ActionParsnip, oh no, how do I do that? | 18:27 |
| chrome_ | what is unity exactly? | 18:27 |
| mang0 | so coz_ how do I use it? | 18:28 |
| iceroot | !unity | chrome_ | 18:28 |
| ubottu | chrome_: 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 | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | spankbot: open the file in a text file? Did you create the file or did you download it? | 18:28 |
| coz_ | mang0, burn that to disk...it will not work on usb ,, even though i have tried over and again | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | chrome_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_(desktop_environment) | 18:28 |
| mang0 | is there no way I can install without burning a disk/usb coz_ | 18:28 |
| mang0 | ? | 18:28 |
| groo | i just learned the hard way that gnome 3 does >not< play well with unity | 18:28 |
| spankbot | ActionParsnip, oh no, when I go to open the file I get an error, "There is no application installed for executable files" | 18:29 |
| coz_ | mang0, I have tired over and again to burn this to usb without success | 18:29 |
| chrome_ | nice one ActionParsnip :) | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | spankbot: then you don't need sh. Just run the file as you would a normal executable | 18:29 |
| coz_ | mang0, it burns fine but refuses to boot | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | chrome_: I simply websearched | 18:29 |
| mang0 | coz_ is there not a way to install it without ANY burning of ANYTHING? | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | coz_: did you MD5 test the image? | 18:29 |
| spankbot | oh no, gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding. | 18:30 |
| spankbot | Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. | 18:30 |
| spankbot | Select a character encoding from the menu and try again. | 18:30 |
| iceroot | mang0: yes you can install ubuntu without burning a cd or use a usb-drive but why go the hard way? | 18:30 |
| coz_ | ActionParsnip, yes and still i do recall reading somewhere that the mini.iso will not work on usb and I always use netbootin | 18:30 |
| iceroot | mang0: just burn a cd or use usb | 18:30 |
| llutz | mang0: you can use debootstrap if you already have a running linux-sys | 18:30 |
| coz_ | mang0, no not that I am aware of,, you are not able to burn cd? | 18:30 |
| adeadas | вы все ПИДОРАСЫ | 18:30 |
| mang0 | iceroot because I only have like, 5 cd's that are NOT rewritable | 18:30 |
| mang0 | and I don't wanna have 2 liveCDs/installers | 18:30 |
| mang0 | ... | 18:30 |
| iceroot | mang0: then you one of them | 18:30 |
| mang0 | aw screw it | 18:31 |
| mang0 | alternate installer | 18:31 |
| mang0 | for 11.04 | 18:31 |
| llutz | mang0: do you have grub2 installed? it can boot from ISO | 18:31 |
| mang0 | COME TO ME | 18:31 |
| iceroot | mang0: its not the fault of a failed burn that the live-cd isnt detecting your drives | 18:31 |
| FloodBot1 | mang0: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:31 |

| mang0 | ARGH | 18:31 |
| k_sze | oh great | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | coz_: i believe it does, I've used it myself :) | 18:31 |
| Younder | lxs-makoto, dump or dd | 18:31 |
| mang0 | iceroot why is it not detecting my drives then? | 18:32 |
| coz_ | ActionParsnip, wow then I will have to troubleshoot the issue at some point | 18:32 |
| gedO | Guys, how to swich froem gnome to oanother enviroment?? I have gnome and isntalled LXDE | 18:32 |
| lxs-makoto | i just want to get a raw backup of the drive. | 18:32 |
| k_sze | I was trying to install Google Chrome from deb package on my newly-installed Xubuntu 11.04. | 18:32 |
| zizban | logout, select your session, log back in | 18:32 |
| Younder | lxs-makoto, then dd | 18:32 |
| Pici | gedO: Log out and select it from the sessions menu at the login screen. | 18:32 |
| iceroot | mang0: because you are using fakeraid or your controller is not supported or your harddrives are not detected from the bios | 18:32 |
| coz_ | mang0, if you burn that mini.iso ,, even though it is on ly 19 megs it will always install the most current updates | 18:32 |
| k_sze | totally messed up Package Manager | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | coz_: yeah unetbootin will take the ISO as far as I remember | 18:32 |
| nikop | hello, can somebody help me? I updated Xubuntu to the newest version yesterday. Now I cannot find my Multiboot -menu by pressing SHIFT on startup, what i can do?? Do i have my Windows partiotion anymore?? | 18:32 |
| mang0 | iceroot would I know if I was using fakeraid? cos I don't think I am....I think it is my controller | 18:33 |
| gedO | @Pici: Great :0 THX | 18:33 |
| ActionParsnip | k_sze: you can add the daily PPA and install it that way, gives a nice new version with snazzy features :) | 18:33 |
| coz_ | ActionParsnip, tried over and again.. but if you have done it then that just gives me incentive to troubleshoot it :) | 18:33 |
| lxs-makoto | so how would I go about doing a dd of this hard drive if it doesnt seem to want to? | 18:34 |
| Younder | nikop, It's still there. You jsut have to access the grub menu | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | coz_: could grab the daily, pretty much the same deal | 18:34 |
| k_sze | ActionParsnip: ya, but I still need to fix package manager | 18:34 |
| llutz | lxs-makoto: try gddrescue | 18:34 |
| k_sze | I get some weird message about "E: Encountered a section with no Package: header" | 18:34 |
| coz_ | ActionParsnip, yeah I realize that,, but the mini.is cool :) | 18:34 |
| BlaDe^ | Can anyone help me with making a user locked down a little more? | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | coz_: very :) | 18:35 |
| mang0 | so how do I install grub2? | 18:35 |
| mang0 | !grub | 18:35 |

| Younder | Cassini_, Yes, there is a interrupt conflict. Both IDE scci0 and display want to use irq 16. Check with lshw | 18:37 |
| mang0 | So 11.04 has better support for drivers then 10.10? | 18:38 |
| mang0 | iceroot may I PM you? | 18:38 |
| novitololo | Hello. I'm having problems with VirtualBox trying to run Windows under Ubuntu 10.10. It doesn't recognize my CD/DVD, it is not shown... | 18:38 |
| Cassini_ | Younder, is where will I change the irq # to use? | 18:38 |
| Younder | nikop, This is a new grub version which behaves differently. Check the grub documentation | 18:38 |
| nikop | How? | 18:39 |
| nikop | Younder, how? :) | 18:39 |
| OneKorea | Hello, I wanna install ubuntu but retain all data on current D: partrition of windows vista, how hard is that / does ubuntu installer supports it? thanks! | 18:39 |
| ThinkT510 | mang0: 11.04 uses a newer kernel than 10.10 so there are driver updates and whatnot | 18:39 |

| Younder | Cassini_, I Have sent a bug report. Technically this should not happen as a separate demon assigns the interrupts. I have just decided to wait to they have a fix.. | 18:41 |
| ThinkT510 | OneKorea: you can install ubuntu and access any partitions just fine yes | 18:41 |

| xavier_ | nick xaiev | 18:41 |
| xavier_ | ooops | 18:41 |
| === xavier_ is now known as xaiev | ||
| xaiev | hi there | 18:41 |
| Younder | CryptKper, When you log in and click the user (but haven't entered the passwd yet) on the bottom line you can select classic | 18:42 |
| xaiev | i'm trying to install latest 11.04 from a usb key and apt-get fails not finding the cdrom - tried 'cdrom-detect/usb=true' | 18:42 |
| masterburner | when I boot into ubuntu classic, all my window borders are gone... how do I fix this? | 18:42 |
| xaiev | was the same with 10.10 :/ | 18:42 |
| CryptKper | Younder, Ubuntu Software Center, unity isnt the issue. | 18:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. I just noticed that Chromium and google chrome both start the first time with their 'pick a search engine' dialog window 1/2 way off the screen at the bottom. | 18:43 |
| Dr_Willis | masterburner: try alt-f2 and run 'metacity --replace' or 'compiz --replace' | 18:43 |
| ThinkT510 | P_Kable: you'll need to give more details so that we can figure out your problem | 18:43 |
| KM0201 | xaiev: why would you even need to use that command? usually i just boot an ISO i've put on the thumb drive, and install.. what issue are you having again? | 18:44 |
| masterburner | Dr_willis: already tried both, doesn't help... not even after a reboot | 18:44 |
| KM0201 | Dr_Willis: yeah... kinda ironic they don't "force" one on you like some browsers.. :0 | 18:44 |
| Dr_Willis | masterburner: try it in a terminal, look for error emssages.. metacity should work on any setup | 18:44 |
| Dr_Willis | KM0201: i just found it odd that the window was in a bad spot. | 18:44 |
| KM0201 | ya | 18:45 |
| Dr_Willis | KM0201: and it affected both chromouim browser and google chrome. | 18:45 |
| masterburner | Dr_willis: I think I found a fix... brb | 18:45 |
| Dr_Willis | There are some neat 'unity' tricks these browsers are doing from what ive seen on the blog sites. :) progress bars in the icon. | 18:45 |
| xaiev | KM0201, If you get "Incorrect CD-ROM detected" error on detection stage, reboot, press F6 and then ESC to go to manual boot line editing, and add the option 'cdrom-detect/try-usb=true' | 18:45 |
| xaiev | found on ubuntu.com | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | xaiev: I've seen a few users say they had liveusb expect a cd | 18:46 |
| centHOGG | xbmc library mode anyone? | 18:46 |
| KM0201 | xaiev: strange, never had that issue.. are you rying to use the alt. cd? | 18:46 |
| xaiev | no the regular one | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !details | centHOGG | 18:46 |
| Cassini_ | Younder, I don't see anything else using irq 16 on my box | 18:46 |
| ubottu | centHOGG: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 18:46 |
| Younder | CryptKper, Oh I see. Rightclick background. select change desktop background, on the first tab select classic | 18:46 |
| xaiev | KM0201, was the same w/h 10.10 my personal laptop & another usb stick | 18:47 |
| xaiev | anyway i can bypass apt to check for the cdrom and install package from online repositories? | 18:47 |
| OneKorea | ThinkT510, hm this means i need to use wubi installer or the 'real' full one can do as well? (to install ubuntu but save current Window's D: NTFS partrtition, ubuntu can read NTFS?) | 18:49 |
| CryptKper | Younder, please read my entire sentence. IN ubuntu software center, all of the software categories are being displayed in a single line, how do i restore the setting for 'ubuntu software center' | 18:49 |
| ThinkT510 | OneKorea: yes, ubuntu reads and writes ntfs partitions on a full real install, it won't overwrite anything there | 18:50 |
| OneKorea | oh thats lovely | 18:51 |
| ThinkT510 | OneKorea: its an easy install process, the hardest part is partitioning, but that is simple when you know how | 18:52 |
| KM0201 | OneKorea: actualy, a "wubi install" is not a real, full install.. and i personally wouldn't do it.. but thats just my opinion | 18:52 |
| KM0201 | OneKorea: to clarify, i wouldn't do an install w/ wubi. | 18:52 |
| OneKorea | of course not, i want full install, bye bye to windows, but want my DATA xD | 18:52 |
| salomonv | hi guys, my unity launcher won't hide anymore, for some reason, is there any way to force it to hide? | 18:52 |
| KM0201 | OneKorea: have you ever used ubuntu? | 18:52 |
| zizban | salomonv, is it in Unity2d? Nvidia drivers? | 18:53 |
| salomonv | don't know about 2d, i'm running standard natty, but yes, nvidia drivers | 18:53 |
| KM0201 | OneKorea: nuking windows right off the bat, only means you're going to be reinstalling windows within a week... set up a dual boot, and learn the OS... dual boot for at least 6mo. | 18:53 |
| OneKorea | yea, i have some experience with linux distros, no problem, just wondered about ubuntu installer, im not completely newb | 18:53 |
| === komodo169 is now known as Mallory | ||

| CryptKper | salomonv, clean install or upgrade? | 18:53 |
| andreaborman | I have installed Linux Mint 9 alongside my Windows 7 starter on one of my computers. | 18:53 |
| salomonv | CryptKper, upgrade | 18:53 |
| zizban | salomonv, you have to install unity2d manually. Yeah, Nvidia is a problem right now. | 18:54 |
| ThinkT510 | !mint | andreaborman | 18:54 |
| ubottu | andreaborman: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 18:54 |
| salomonv | zizban, so I need to install unity2d then? for the record, this is the second time today this has happened (rebooted last time) - i had no problems till today | 18:54 |
| CryptKper | salomonv, turn off your nvidia driver, reboot, turn it back on, reboot, should be fine. | 18:55 |
| chrome_ | Why gnome3 is not the ubuntu main desktop? | 18:55 |
| andreaborman | I did this by mounting it the ISO file on virtual clone drive and used the mint 4 windows installer. So mint can be uninstalled again if I want like any of my other Windows programs | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | chrome_: you can add it | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !gnome3 | 18:55 |
| salomonv | CryptKper, should be fine forever, or for just this time? | 18:55 |
| ubottu | 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. | 18:55 |
| zizban | chrome: because Gnome3 sucks :-) | 18:55 |
| CryptKper | salomonv, good question. | 18:55 |
| chrome_ | ok | 18:55 |
| coz_ | chrome_, gnome 3 uses mutter 11.04 decided to not use mutter and replace it with compiz as the compositor | 18:55 |
| andreaborman | I have Linux Mint 9 gnome by the way it's the easiest one to use. | 18:56 |
| salomonv | CryptKper, last time a reboot did the trick but now it happened again. Only thing I can think of is I started to use different workspaces today | 18:56 |
| iggyology | anyone experienced with natty? | 18:56 |
| KM0201 | andreaborman: maybe, but offtopic here.. | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | iggyology: as experience as you can be | 18:56 |
| deostroll | I need some help with formatting the USB. I am referring this article: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-format-usb-pen-drive/ . it says assume /dev/sda1 is the partition name for usb pen...I don't get this part... | 18:57 |
| iggyology | can you tell me why the Firefox icon isn't showing in the launchbar when there's an open window? | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | iggyology: are you using unity? | 18:57 |
| Wolf_22 | I'm trying to install Tomcat to a Natty VM and I *think* everything is fine so far, but I want to ensure that the JAVA_HOME var "sticks" after reboot. Is this done through the startup.sh? | 18:57 |
| KM0201 | deostroll: you have to find what drive lable your thumb drive has... the instructions are assuming it is sda1 (coudl be sdb1, sdc1, sdd..e tc..) | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Wolf_22: add it in ~/.bashrc | 18:58 |
| iggyology | ActionParsnip, yes I am | 18:58 |
| deostroll | KM0201, how do I find out? | 18:58 |
| Wolf_22 | Thanks Action. Will do. | 18:58 |
| jrib | Wolf_22: what is "the startup.sh"? | 18:58 |
| ActionParsnip | iggyology: that's why. Unity uses globalmenu | 18:58 |
| gp5st | is there anyway to create a tmp file that resides in memory only? | 18:58 |
| coz_ | deostroll, you can install netbootin or I believe its called image writer or go to system/administraton/startup disk creator | 18:58 |
| KM0201 | deostroll: are ou just trying to format it as ext3?.. you do realize gparted can do that w/ a fairly simple GUI don't you? | 18:58 |
| iggyology | ActionParsnip, can you tell me how to get the icons back in the launch bar? | 18:58 |
| salomonv | anyhow, there is no way to invoke the launcher to hide? | 18:59 |
| ActionParsnip | iggyology: you may get luck if you boot to gnome classic then start compiz, may help | 18:59 |
| deostroll | KM0201, coz_ i kinda want to dos format it... | 18:59 |
| iggyology | ActionParsnip, I wish there was a way for me to get the Unity to work | 18:59 |
| coz_ | deostroll, ah ok | 18:59 |
| KM0201 | deostroll: terminal isn't dos | 19:00 |
| iggyology | but if you think that it's too new than I'll switch | 19:00 |
| andreaborman | KM0201 Linux mint is based on ubuntu they say. But I have tried ubuntu installed in the same way as I did with Mint. but it does not have a Windows type start menu like Linux mint does. which make it more familiar for Windows users like me. | 19:00 |
| Wolf_22 | jrib: It was my understanding that it was the Natty version of a startup. | 19:00 |
| Wolf_22 | (startup file, that is.) | 19:00 |
| deostroll | KM0201, no but the article does say I can do a mkfs.vat | 19:00 |

| deostroll | *mkfs.vfat | 19:00 |
| KM0201 | andreaborman: it really doesn't matter, its still off topic in this channel (no its not easier, it's just got a different GUI, theya re the essentially the same OS) | 19:01 |
| ccallahan|School | (10.04.2) If I were to setup a Jailkit on a desktop environment, what programs to I need to whitelist for GNOME, Firefox, OOo, and the Network Share Mounter (On the places menu)? | 19:01 |
| ThinkT510 | LuckyNeo: 11.04 is no longer beta | 19:01 |
| deostroll | my main concern is what comes after the mkfs.vfat part...i.e the argument... | 19:01 |
| ThinkT510 | LuckyNeo: oops, sorry, misread | 19:01 |
| KM0201 | LuckyNeo: i don't think 11.10 is public yet.. but i could be wrong. | 19:02 |
| crazyrohila | can i upgrade my 10.04 to 11.04 | 19:02 |
| KM0201 | crazydiamond: no | 19:02 |
| KM0201 | crazy 10.04>>10.10>>>11.04 is what you'd neeed to do | 19:02 |
| andreaborman | Well i must admit when I tried the new version of ubuntu 11 it is beter than the old because at least with the new version. It recognised my wifi so I could connect wirelessly to the internet. | 19:02 |
| ccallahan|School | Oh, and WiFI | 19:02 |
| crazydiamond | KM0201: ? | 19:02 |
| ablaze | hi everyone | 19:03 |
| Pici | LuckyNeo: 11.10 has not yet reached alpha status. | 19:03 |
| LuckyNeo | Oh I'm sorry | 19:03 |
| ablaze | I hope this is the right place to come to search for a solution | 19:03 |
| KM0201 | crazydiamond: ? | 19:03 |
| andreaborman | And it was not so difficult to use as the old version either. | 19:03 |
| crazyrohila | ThinkT510: can i upgrade my 10.04 to 11.04 | 19:03 |
| jrib | Wolf_22: I'm not familiar with this file. Where is it located? | 19:03 |

| l403 | Hi. I'd like to listen to Pink Floyd with my new headphones but I have the ubuntu sounds piercing my eardrum every time I click a button. I am using fluxbox and it doesnt seem to respect the gnome settings where the sound theme is disabled. What is responsible for the sounds and how can I kill them? | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | haseeb: insall youtube-dl and you can do it in terminal | 20:10 |
| botcity | AceKing, just type rm ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite that removed it for me | 20:11 |
| AceKing | botcity, OK | 20:11 |

| FoolsRun | Can anyone tell me how to run an application (actually a Java .jar file) on my machine's :0 display from SSH? | 20:12 |
| _pg_ | zus, sudo update-grub | 20:12 |
| _pg_ | i think | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Zus: sudo update-grub | 20:12 |
| AceKing | It ran the command and came back to the prompt | 20:12 |
| smw | FoolsRun, export DISPLAY=':0' | 20:12 |
| zus | _pg_, ActionParsnip thank you | 20:12 |
| AceKing | botcity, It ran the command and came back to the prompt | 20:12 |
| iceroot | FoolsRun: ssh -X host java -jar file.jar | 20:13 |
| botcity | AceKing, yaeh but is your history there? | 20:13 |
| FoolsRun | smw: export DISPLAY=':0' COMMAND HERE ? | 20:13 |
| AceKing | botcity, yes | 20:13 |
| smw | FoolsRun, yes, it is a command | 20:13 |
| ablaze | anyways thanx ::: | 20:13 |
| FoolsRun | smw: I mean do I use the export command on a separate line, or as part of the java -jar line?\ | 20:13 |
| botcity | AceKing, try zeitgeist-daemon --quit ? | 20:13 |
| amiuhle | I executed a make clean as sudo, which ran "rm -r /usr/*". As soon as I realized this, I cancelled, but at least /usr/bin is already gone. After some research on Google, my best solution is to boot the Ubuntu CD, copy the /usr/bin folder from there to my hdd and then executing "sudo apt-get install --fix-broken". Does anyone have a better idea? | 20:13 |
| smw | FoolsRun, different line | 20:14 |

| smw | FoolsRun, or export xyz; java -jar x.jar | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot: add -C too (enables compression) | 20:14 |
| FoolsRun | smw: I get "Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable." | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | iggyology: prefs -> keyboard settings -> options | 20:15 |

| FoolsRun | smw: the same user as who? | 20:15 |
| _pg_ | anyone know of a good alac decoder | 20:15 |
| AceKing | botcity, I ran that last command. Do I need to re run the first command you gave me? | 20:15 |
| smw | FoolsRun, the same user as the person who is logged in | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | iggyology: could you not find a guide for it online? | 20:16 |
| FoolsRun | smw: I'm not, but I disabled "nolisten tcp" for X | 20:16 |
| iggyology | ActionParsnips, I found it in "Keyboard Shortcuts" | 20:16 |
| igi69 | @mamad I think the solution of ust13 can help | 20:16 |
| coz_ | iggyology, the command would be gnome-session-save --kill | 20:16 |
| iggyology | it allows you press the keys you wish to use to modify the shortcut also, very cool | 20:16 |
| botcity | AceKing, no .. but did it remove the history ? for some reason that worked for me ? | 20:16 |
| smw | FoolsRun, if you are not the same user, I don't think it works. I know very little about x | 20:16 |

| jorek | ablaze: okay. the purple screen is nothing but the loader for ubuntu | 20:25 |
| tjiggi_fo | ablaze, there's actually a warning on the wubi page about a problem upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide | 20:25 |
| kaiser | Fresh Ubuntu 11.04 install. No sound. run alsamixer and made sure nothing is muted.device is enabled, volume is on but NO AUDIO at all. card 0: ICH6 [Intel ICH6], device 4: Intel ICH - IEC958 [Intel ICH6 - IEC958] | 20:25 |
| mr_orange | 1403, and what would I be looking for in there and how can i get to it if ubuntu 11.04 doesnt load? | 20:25 |
| kaiser | Subdevices: 1/1 | 20:25 |
| Jordan_U | AceKing: It seems that the file has been successfully unlinked. If you still see history from zeitgeist then try restarting zeitgeist. | 20:25 |
| smw | l3, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 20:26 |
| l403 | l3 install some metapackage like ubuntu-desktop or something similar | 20:26 |
| rumpe1 | l3, autoremove doesn't deinstall anything | 20:26 |
| cannonball | l3: Look in /var/log/apt/history.log to see what packages got removed. | 20:26 |
| l3 | rumpe1: oh? | 20:26 |
| AceKing | Jordan_U, What is the command to restart zeitgeist? | 20:26 |
| rumpe1 | l3, erm... wait... | 20:26 |
| ablaze | tjiggi_fo: i have fixed the grub problem ::: now it's not the grub problem but after that it stucks on this screen | 20:26 |
| Jordan_U | AceKing: In *NIX files aren't actually deleted from the filesystem until there are no applications with an open file handle. | 20:26 |
| smw | l3, you removed all your kernels and it started removing everything else, right? | 20:26 |
| tjiggi_fo | ablaze, best is to uninstall wubi from windows (instructions in the link above) and reinstall 10.10 | 20:26 |
| smw | l3, the ubuntu-desktop package should have everything you need. | 20:26 |
| Bum-Gum | I used 10.4 and everything was good but now i have natty narwhale and my computer isn't able to connect with my archos 2.4 vision | 20:27 |
| tjiggi_fo | ablaze, understood, but it breaks more than just grub | 20:27 |
| l3 | smw: yeah | 20:27 |
| jorek | tjiggi: wouldn't it be better to install 11.04 right away? | 20:27 |
| l3 | smw: seems everything ubuntu-desktop depends on is still available | 20:27 |

| coz_ | hwilde, that should be enabled by default... when did this stop working? | 20:35 |
| MnCC | anyone know where the shortcuts on the menubar are stored ? | 20:35 |
| smw | [snake], yeah. I have a better idea. | 20:35 |

| tjiggi_fo | ablaze, boot up into a live session and look for the wubi install in Program Files (or wherever) and the logs will be in /var/log/messages and /var/log/boot. use the date and time to try find when your first problem boot happened | 20:36 |
| coz_ | hwilde, in all honesty I only use classic gnome and it works there,, I will have to log onto Unity to test it hold on | 20:37 |

| AceKing | Jordan_U, I restarted my PC and it's still showing Recent Documents | 20:37 |

| jrib | Archie18_: this is likely a #python question as « from multiprocessing import Pool » works fine here on 10.10. Does that work for you? | 20:37 |
| ablaze | tjiggi_fo: ok ::: thanx ::: i m giving this a try ::: and i will tell u the results, if i found ::: thanx again | 20:38 |
| superr1 | ciao | 20:38 |
| tjiggi_fo | ablaze, :) | 20:38 |
| Brandano | meraqlix: first thing to check is for (EE) lines in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 20:38 |
| smw | [snake], That is good to know. My opinion is that ubuntu needs to choose between "just working" and being on the "bleeding-edge". That used to be the same thing ;-) | 20:38 |
| hwilde | coz_, pain, huh? | 20:38 |
| coz_ | hwilde, well on my Unity set up ,, middle click paste works fine | 20:38 |
| hwilde | coz_, interesting | 20:39 |
| coz_ | hwilde, is this a clean install or an upgade from 10.10 ?? | 20:39 |
| coun | anybody using Full Disc Encryption on 11.04? | 20:40 |
| coz_ | coun, I am not ...sorry | 20:40 |
| Jordan_U | AceKing: Is it showing recent documents from before rming .local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite ? | 20:40 |
| AceKing | Jordan_U, Yes | 20:41 |
| meraqlix | Brandano: How to access terminal? All my menues are missing | 20:41 |
| coun | @meraqlix, wat u mean menus missing? | 20:41 |
| l403 | meraqlix, alt+F2 and run xterm | 20:41 |
| Brandano | meraqlix: Ah, so you are only missing the UI? then xorg will be fine | 20:42 |
| MnCC | prob no unity support, gives a blank screen | 20:42 |
| arscariosus | anyone here who has installed ubuntu 11.04 on hp mini 210? | 20:42 |
| kwtm | [snake]: Do you want to consider downgrading to 10.04? (Long-Term Support edition). | 20:42 |
| coun | uhh. I'm so sick of gnome 2x | 20:42 |
| [snake] | kwtm, prefferably 10.10, but that would also work. | 20:42 |
| meraqlix | Yep, the UI is missing after update to Ubuntu 11.01 | 20:42 |
| PeterJCLaw | anyone (else) tried using libphp--simplepie under 11.04 | 20:42 |
| MnCC | anyone know where the shortcuts on the menubar are stored ? | 20:43 |
| meraqlix | 11.04 | 20:43 |
| Brandano | meraqlix: anyway, CTRL+ALT+F1 will give you a terminal window, CTRL+ALT+F7 will return you to the graphical environment | 20:43 |
| kwtm | [snake]: Maybe, but 10.10 is not supported for as long. It's up to you. I have only been using LTS editions (upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04). | 20:43 |
| jcapinc | how do I get X11 to use FGLRX and not ATI's free drivers? | 20:43 |
| coun | ctrl+alt=F1 is for debugging isn't it? use ctrl+alt+F2 | 20:43 |
| botcity | hi guys is ubuntu tweak available from the repositories or an external site ? | 20:43 |
| MnCC | CLTR+ALT+T , gives a terminal window .. thats how i overcame my unity problems | 20:44 |
| coun | repos | 20:44 |
| [snake] | kwtm, eh, I just don't like the fact that my box is barely usable... yet it worked fine with 10.10 | 20:44 |
| Brandano | meraqlix: you ought to be able to install gnome that way, and then select it from the login screen | 20:44 |
| kwtm | [snake]: If there is something that you need in 10.10 that's not in 10.04, then by all means. In general I (and many others) do not feel the need to upgrade just because a new version has come out. | 20:44 |
| coun | ctrl+alt+T didn't work by default for me in 11.04. you have to add that shortcut. | 20:44 |
| hwilde | so nobody else has trouble with middle mouse paste? | 20:44 |
| kwtm | [snake]: I actually promote dual-booting into "newest" and "second-newest" versions, but if someone's computer is already set up not to dual-boot this, it's a bit of hassle to set it up. | 20:45 |
| MnCC | coun, is correct, you can also add a shortcut to gnome-terminal | 20:45 |
| coz_ | Brandano, one application/utility you may want to look into is easystroke,,, gesture recognition | 20:45 |
| coun | middle mouse paste working on my box | 20:45 |
| [snake] | kwtm, true... but I'm already passed 10.10... and into 11.04, I need to downgrade. | 20:45 |
| phed | hi guys, firefox 4.0.1, flashplugin-nonfree and using flashaid leaves with a black screen when full screen viewing youtube videos, could you point me in the direction of a fix please? using ubuntu 11.04 in classic mode with effects | 20:45 |
| kwtm | [snake]: But it is *really* robust, and you simply use Newest and then easily switch to Second-Newest if need be. | 20:45 |
| Brandano | coz_: for what exactly? | 20:45 |
| DarsVaeda | how do i uninstall gnome3 and reinstall unity or at least gnome2 on ubuntu 11.04? | 20:45 |
| koperino | hi there, after three days of getting "no new release found" no matter what I try can anybody help me????? | 20:45 |
| l403 | !help | 20:45 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 20:45 |
| coz_ | Brandano, it is by far ,, in my opinion ,, the top companion application for linux / compiz | 20:45 |
| kwtm | [snake]: Anyway, just something to think about. Watch out for 11.10. :) | 20:45 |
| jcapinc | I should not have updated | 20:45 |
| jcapinc | another terrible release | 20:45 |
| [snake] | :) lol | 20:45 |
| kwtm | koperino: I bet you're using 10.04 and it's looking for the next LTS edition, 12.04, right? | 20:45 |
| coun | @phed, try the Beta version of Flash available through flash-aid. Although I have blank screen prob too sometimes and don't know a fix | 20:45 |
| IdleOne | koperino: what version are you running? | 20:45 |
| Brandano | coz_: ah, I don't use compiz. Or Unity, for that matter. Still running 10.10 on my client and 10.04 on a server | 20:46 |
| coz_ | Brandano, opening applications closing etc,,, Unity is a pain in my opinion for ease of use ,, easystroke makes it far less of a learning curve | 20:46 |
| coz_ | Braiam, aj pl | 20:46 |
| coz_ | ah ok | 20:46 |
| koperino | Maverick and want to go to Natty | 20:46 |
| Jordan_U | AceKing: All the guides I see suggest that "rm ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite && zeitgeist-daemon --replace" should do it. | 20:46 |
| [snake] | Dang it! my sombrero! I got coffee on it! :( | 20:46 |
| jcapinc | you dont want to go to natty | 20:46 |
| Braiam | coz_: ? | 20:46 |
| jcapinc | wait for the next lts | 20:46 |

| IdleOne | koperino: what does that give you? | 20:46 |
| rhin0 | ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) comes with 2.6.32 kernel -- I need to INSTALL 2.6.33 or higher of that OS to get 'trim' on an SSD -- is there any 10.04 ISO snapshot with later kernel? | 20:47 |
| MnCC | who wanted something for firefox ? | 20:47 |
| coun | lol snake | 20:47 |
| Brandano | coz_: I am waiting for a bit while all the users tell Canonical why they don't like Unity and someone forks to Gubuntu :) | 20:47 |
| l403 | what is in charge of playing ubuntu sound themes? where can I disable the themes or kill whatever is playing them? | 20:47 |
| koperino | no new release found | 20:47 |
| AceKing | Jordan_U, I'm going to try it again. | 20:47 |
| rhin0 | because I really don't want to move off 10.04 -- but I want it on an SSD (so I need a later kernel) | 20:47 |
| Snakkah | I'm using Ubuntu Lucid 10.04, and I want to install "pianobar" It's an application that runs Pandora radio from the command line. It appears that it's only available in the Maverick and Natty repositories though. Would it be safe to get it (and its dependencies) from a Maverick repository even though I'm running Lucid? | 20:47 |
| jcapinc | yea I dont get why ubuntu is ditching gnome3 | 20:47 |
| xro | hi, i have a THE question,... why did ubuntu change gnome to ubiquity? | 20:47 |
| AMAG | I've been trying to get some help with my graphics driver on Ubuntu 11.04 for several days, but no luck so far. In the "Additional Drivers" tool, my NVIDIA driver has the green dot, yet the tool says "This driver is activated but not currently in use." Help please. | 20:47 |
| coun | @rhin0, if you want SSD, i think it best to use 10.10 or 11.04 | 20:47 |
| IdleOne | koperino: lsb_release -a what Version number does it report? | 20:47 |
| MnCC | phed, you there ? | 20:47 |
| phed | just trying beta version mate in flash aid | 20:48 |
| Brandano | Snakkah: you should look into either adding a PPA or enabling the backports repository | 20:48 |
| fcuk112 | how to check currently installed mesa version? | 20:48 |
| coun | @Brandano, Unity is awesome. I was actually thinking of going back to Windows cause of sick of gnome2x. Unity is a huge improvement | 20:48 |
| coz_ | Braiam, well there is another distrobution in the works UGR ubuntu gnome remix using gnome3 | 20:48 |
| MnCC | try this: env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 firefox-4.0 %u | 20:48 |
| l403 | AMAG, did you look at your xorg.conf? | 20:48 |
| jcapinc | ubuntu 11.04 broke my compiz support baddly | 20:48 |
| rhin0 | ok coun ty. | 20:48 |
| Snakkah | Brandano, I have the backports repo enabled. | 20:48 |
| koperino | Distributor ID:Ubuntu | 20:48 |

| jcapinc | should not have upgraded | 20:48 |
| phed | MnCC, anything else to try? | 20:48 |
| Snakkah | And a PPA seems to be hard to come by for this little program. | 20:48 |

| coz_ | Braiam, sorryy wrong nick | 20:49 |
| coun | @AMAG I have had nothing but trouble with NVIDIA graphics when trying 11.04. I'm done with NVIDIA. | 20:49 |
| MnCC | phed, open the properties of the firefox icon | 20:49 |
| coz_ | Brandano, UGR ubuntu -gnome-remix is in the works | 20:49 |
| bars0 | rhin0: you can install later kernel from standard Ubuntu repository: as far as I remember 2.6.35 | 20:49 |
| Gremlyn1 | multi-monitor question: I have my laptop (on 10.04) with an HDMI->DVI cable plugged in to a second monitor. I have the laptop as display0, I think, as it has the menu/task bars, but programs are opening by default in display1 (the larger, desktop monitor). Anyone know how to alter that behaviour? | 20:49 |
| AMAG | l403: No, but I just have looked. I have a Section "Device" which says Driver "nvidia" and no other Device sections | 20:49 |
| kwtm | rhin0: I see linux-headers-2.6.35-23 as a possible package on my 10.04 (which I haven't installed, but still, it's there) | 20:49 |
| MnCC | paste: env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 in front of it | 20:49 |
| Brandano | coun: I don't use compiz because it's too fancy... I doubt I'd like Unity. On my netbook I switched back to UNR because it was making my life too difficult | 20:49 |
| AceKing | Jordan_U, This is what happens when I run that command. You'll see where it freezes up on me. http://paste.ubuntu.com/603443/ | 20:49 |
| celthunder | coun: nvidia cards are still by far better supported than ati, just use the open source ones | 20:49 |
| rhin0 | yes bars0 but I need to install it direct onto an ssd -- won't work with earlier kernel | 20:49 |
| rhin0 | i'll just install 10.10 | 20:50 |
| MnCC | open youtube and press fullscreen icon | 20:50 |
| AMAG | coun: nvidia cards have treated me better than others on Linux for more than 10 years. I don't think you will be any happier with ATI. | 20:50 |
| x1o | hey, can anyone help me with my flash-buffering problem? | 20:50 |
| Snakkah | Brandano, it's not in the Lucid backports repo. :/ | 20:50 |
| IdleOne | koperino: open Synaptic Package manager and go to Settings > Repositories, then click on the update tab, at the bottom make sure it is set to Normal Releases. | 20:50 |
| ablaze | tjiggi_fo: i will find the log and boot files in system folder of my live session's system file or it should be elsewhere ::: because i m not able to find this in my system except in live session's sytem files ::: | 20:50 |
| l403 | AMAG also check sudo lsmod that lists the loaded modules aka drivers | 20:50 |
| kwtm | rhin0: Disagree with coun: stay with 10.04 unless you need to. (Whether you need to is up to you, but if linux 2.6.35 is there for 10.04, just stay with it) | 20:50 |
| Brandano | Snakkah: try grabbing the deb from Maverik, but expect possible problems. Try it in a chroot first, perhaps? | 20:50 |
| x1o | i wonder where it comes from, flash only buffers about 1 minute of streaming-videos | 20:51 |
| coun | @Brandano, I never used Compiz before because it was too fancy. You don't have to use cmopiz for Unity. Just install 11.04. and it works | 20:51 |
| rhin0 | yes kwtm but how would I INSTALL 10.04 with a 2.6.35 -- can't INSTALL it with lower kernel & then upgrade | 20:51 |
| AMAG | lsmod |grep nvidia does indeed show a module called "nvidia" that is loaded, and dmesg |grep -i taint shows me that loading this module taints the kernel | 20:51 |
| kwtm | rhin0: Okay. | 20:51 |
| Snakkah | Mmm...maybe. I'll let you know what happens. I expect dependency problems though,. | 20:51 |
| phed | paste env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 into where, do you mean the firefox launcher properties? | 20:51 |
| ikonia | rhin0: you want to install ubuntu with a lower kernel than is provided ? | 20:51 |
| rhin0 | kwtm 10.04 comes with the earlier kernel -- can't install it so then I can't upgrade | 20:51 |
| * Brandano is the odd sort of Ubuntu user that spends a lot of time on the command prompt | 20:52 | |
| Jordan_U | AceKing: And you still see old history? | 20:52 |
| MnCC | phed, and ? | 20:52 |
| ikonia | rhin0: 10.04.2 has a later updates | 20:52 |
| l403 | !sound > l403 | 20:52 |
| ubottu | l403, please see my private message | 20:52 |
| coun | @celthunder: that's what I've herad, nvidia better supported. But they give me nothing but trouble with Unity. AMD/ATI radeon and Intel integrated give zero problems so far with Unity. | 20:52 |
| kwtm | Brandano: Does that count as odd? | 20:52 |
| Brandano | terminal window, if you like | 20:52 |
| koperino | did that, must say I was updating when internet fell away, since then problems | 20:52 |
| rhin0 | no ikonia I'm saying its impossible to install 10.04 on an ssd because it ships with < 2.6.33 kernel -- you cannot get it onto the drive - coun is right | 20:52 |
| phed | lol sorry, ill re-phrase, do i just paste in front of the firefox command? | 20:52 |
| AceKing | Jordan_U, Yes, it's still shows | 20:52 |
| rhin0 | what kernel is 10.04.2? pls? | 20:52 |
| * ikonia wishes brandon would be the odder person who doesn't use the /me command trying to be l33t with command line comments | 20:52 | |
| MnCC | phed, yeah | 20:52 |
| tjiggi_fo | ablaze, if you go to Places, Computer you should find a "FileSystem" entry (NTFS) that includes your windows files | 20:52 |
| Brandano | kwtm: depends. You are not supposed to spend time tweaking the OS, should just work | 20:52 |
| Jordan_U | AceKing: Try "rm ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite && mkdir ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite". | 20:52 |
| ikonia | rhin0: I've got 8.04 working on an SSD drive here | 20:52 |
| Jordan_U | AceKing: Then log out and back in again. | 20:53 |
| rhin0 | you'll have a > 2.6.33 kernel ikonia yes? | 20:53 |
| phed | WINNING | 20:53 |
| ikonia | no | 20:53 |
| maxb | Jordan_U: mkdir? | 20:53 |
| rhin0 | its all for "trim" | 20:53 |
| phed | +10 internets to MnCC | 20:53 |
| phed | thanks very much dude | 20:53 |
| kwtm | Brandano: ?? I spend a lot of time on the command line, but I don't tweak the OS. You mean, then, that you'd expect the command line to be for tweaking the OS? I see. I just use vim and ssh a lot. | 20:53 |
| AceKing | Jordan_U, Ok, I'll come back and let you know. Thank you | 20:53 |
| ikonia | rhin0: ahhh you want the trim options, ok | 20:53 |
| MnCC | phed, nice | 20:53 |
| ikonia | kwtm: ignore it, he's trying to make it sound like he's hard core | 20:53 |
| IdleOne | koperino: sudo apt-get -f install | 20:53 |
| Jordan_U | maxb: If there's a directory there then zeitgeist can't write it's database there. It's a bit ugly but... | 20:53 |
| Brandano | kwtm: nah, in my case is to install and compile stuff, mainly | 20:53 |
| AMAG | l403: so it is certainly loaded into the kernel, but it appears X is not using it? | 20:54 |
| coun | @celthunder: how exactly do I install the open source NVIDIA drivers? be great to get unity working on my nvidia machines | 20:54 |
| IdleOne | koperino: please prefix any response to me with my name, as you can see this channel is very busy and hard to keep up at times :) | 20:54 |
| xro | will ubuntu stop using gnome? should i use KDE instead??? | 20:54 |
| phibxr | coun, why don't you use the binary drivers? | 20:54 |
| Brandano | kwtm: I got used to PuTTY for SSH on Window. I really ought to use the SSH client from the command line, but it's hard to shake ingrained habits | 20:54 |
| kwtm | Brandano: Installing stuff is tweaking the OS? Compiling stuff is tweaking the OS? Wait ... um.... actually, never mind. My, what lovely weather we're having! | 20:54 |
| coun | rhin0, i think you best to use 1010 or 1104 to avoid trouble | 20:55 |
| Brandano | kwtm: no, neither is, but Ubuntu is not the frieldliest environment to work with non-standard libs | 20:55 |
| rhin0 | willdo coun | 20:55 |
| koperino | Idle0ne : sorry first time here never had problems with ubuntu . Nothing happens tried that before | 20:55 |
| Brandano | *friendliest | 20:55 |
| celthunder | coun: uninstall and modprobe -r the proprietary ones and install the open source ones and modprobe them up | 20:55 |
| l403 | AMAG, can you run sudo nvidia-xconfig ? | 20:55 |
| IdleOne | koperino: hmm, not getting any errors? | 20:56 |
| coun | @rhin0: 10.04 kernel does NOT have TRIM | 20:56 |
| oddchild | My ubuntu server keeps shutting down at 1AM every night. I cannot find out what started this or how to stop it. When I do a abort on the shutdown it doesnt see any | 20:56 |
| kwtm | Brandano: ? I use PuTTY, too, when I have to use Windows. Not sure what's different between the two except I can't script the Windows version. I haven't felt that Ubuntu does not have a friendly environment, but then I don't work a lot with their libraries. | 20:56 |
| coun | @phibxr: you mean NVIDIA? what binary drivers? | 20:56 |
| AceKing | Jordan_U, I'm still seeing recent documents. When I ran the command you gave me in Terminal, it came right back to the prompt. Was I supposed to see it running like the other one that was hanging up? | 20:57 |
| meraqlix | back | 20:57 |
| Jordan_U | AceKing: No. | 20:57 |
| meraqlix | sorry did a restart | 20:57 |
| phibxr | coun, the nvidia closed-source binary drivers. actually, they installed on first boot for me. | 20:57 |
| phed | putty is nice but try mremote on windows | 20:57 |
| phed | its awesome | 20:57 |
| Jordan_U | AceKing: Did you log out and back in again? | 20:57 |
| koperino | Idle0ne : no just 0 packets, install, 0 packets removed,...... | 20:57 |
| meraqlix | what did I miss about the missing GUI | 20:57 |
| AceKing | Jordan_U, Yes | 20:57 |
| edbian | koperino: packages, not packets | 20:57 |
| Snakkah | Brandano, just installed pianobar along with its dependencies (it had two dependencies that installed without a hitch). :D | 20:57 |
| Ap0c4lyptic0 | hi all | 20:57 |
| Brandano | kwtm: not much difference. Putty allows you to store session parameters, and shows a black terminal background | 20:57 |
| AceKing | Jordan_U, I didn't have to completely restart right? | 20:58 |
| koperino | edbian . sorry dutch version | 20:58 |
| Brandano | Snakkah: in a chroot? | 20:58 |
| IdleOne | koperino: ok sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo do-release-upgrade | 20:58 |
| Ap0c4lyptic0 | i have a little problem with virtual box can i type here? | 20:58 |
| vuxor | ello | 20:58 |
| edbian | koperino: no worries | 20:58 |
| kwtm | phed: In what way is it better than putty? I just started at a new work environment and all they run is Windows. I just went with PuTTy which was easy to find through the corporate firewall and install onto some directory. | 20:58 |
| Jordan_U | AceKing: Shouldn't have to. | 20:58 |
| Gremlyn1 | sorry to repeat, but I didn't see an answer: I have my laptop (on 10.04) with an HDMI->DVI cable plugged in to a second monitor. I have the laptop as display0, I think, as it has the menu/task bars, but programs are opening only in display1 (the larger, desktop monitor). Anyone know how to alter that behaviour? | 20:58 |
| coun | @celthunder: I already uninstalled the proprietary because they were crap. When I do this, graphics just work. So whatever default driver Ubuntu is using is working. BUT it won't do Unity 3D even though my graphics card supports 3D with the proprietary NVIDIA driver | 20:58 |
| Snakkah | Brandano, no. Do I need to chroot? | 20:58 |
| Jordan_U | AceKing: What is the output of "ls -ld ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite"? | 20:58 |

| l403 | what is in charge of playing ubuntu sound themes? where can I disable the themes or kill whatever is playing them? | 20:59 |
| phibxr | Gremlyn1, <super>, monitor | 20:59 |
| phed | and other things, the interface is much nicer plus you can have multiple sessions in one window | 20:59 |
| MnCC | where does unity store my favorite apps ? | 20:59 |
| Brandano | Snakkah: no, you don't. It was just a safety in case it tried to replace stuff it ought not to | 20:59 |
| kwtm | Brandano: ? Not sure what you mean. You mean you can just invoke it with "ssh" instead of "ssh myserver.mydomain.com -p <portnum> -l <login> -v"? Black terminal background just depends on your terminal, I guess --I always had a black terminal background, wasn't aware that it didn't come that way in Ubuntu. Must've set it way back when I was using 6.06. | 20:59 |
| AMAG | l403: that has added numerous blocks to my xorg.conf file, but restarting the PC still didn't get it to actually use the driver. The "Additional Drivers" tool still says the same thing | 20:59 |
| Snakkah | Brandano: Regardless, I have a new problem. pianobar isn't doing its normal action. It normally asks for your username (your Pandora email) and password. I put those in and it says "Error: Protocol incompatible. Please upgrade libpiano." | 20:59 |
| coun | @phibxr: so the default ones are the open source ones? These won't do Unity 3D. Although the proprietary one do do 3D when I'm using Windows XP | 20:59 |
| AceKing | Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/603445/ | 21:00 |
| phibxr | coun, I got the closed-source ones by default. the proprietary that is. | 21:00 |
| ardchoille | Is there aknown issue with the disappearing scrollbar not working in gimp's toolbox window (Ubuntu 11.04)? | 21:00 |
| DarsVaeda | how do i revert back to unity after installing gnome3? | 21:00 |
| phibxr | coun, can you run nvidia-settings? | 21:00 |
| IdleOne | DarsVaeda: fresh install | 21:00 |
| phibxr | coun, if you can, you're running the closed-source binary drivers. | 21:00 |
| kwtm | phed: Oh, I found your message! Please prefix my nick when you talk to me, or else I'll think it's someone else talking to someone else. Ok, will check out mremote but since I just need a text interface, and I've already got PuTTy installed at work, I'll just stick with it. | 21:00 |
| DarsVaeda | i do not want to fresh install -.- | 21:00 |
| xro | will ubuntu stop using gnome? should i use KDE instead??? can i have a response? | 21:00 |
| coun | @1403: you can just disable sound. That is, system related sounds. You will still hear music etc if you play it | 21:00 |
| DarsVaeda | there must be a different solution | 21:00 |
| IdleOne | DarsVaeda: gnome3 right now breaks Unity. | 21:00 |
| Brandano | kwtm: no, I mean that putty is a graphical app. but you know it since you used it. You can install it in Ubuntu as well. Does not have any great advantages over the standard SSH client, except the user interface simplifies a few things | 21:00 |
| Jordan_U | AceKing: I am completely confused then. | 21:00 |
| kwtm | phed: Does it have a vnc client? Or just allows tunnelling by a vnc client which I have to install myself. | 21:01 |
| Gremlyn1 | phibxr: you mean under Preferences > Monitors? I don't see an option for specifying default/primary | 21:01 |
| l403 | AMAG, aslo check nvidia-settings | 21:01 |
| Jordan_U | xro: Ubuntu will not stop using GNOME. | 21:01 |
| AceKing | Jordan_U, does it look like something is missing? | 21:01 |
| IdleOne | DarsVaeda: solution is a clean install so everything is setup properly. | 21:01 |
| botcity | AceKing, are you sure your seeing recent doc and not downloads and favourites ? | 21:01 |
| kwtm | Brandano: Wait, 1) PuTTy is available for Linux? and 2) someone actually finds it useful? | 21:01 |
| kwtm | Brandano: I wasn't aware of that. | 21:01 |
| Brandano | kwtm: like storing the configuration for often used connections. You can of course just write a small shell script for that sort of stuff | 21:01 |

I can still see them on my secondary monitor, does anyone know the cause/fix to this issue? I can't seem to find anything about it searching google. | 21:02 |

| Brandano | but on the plus side on Ubuntu it makes use of the OS keyring | 21:02 |
| AceKing | botcity, I am seeing Recent Documents under "Places" | 21:03 |
| coun | @1403: go to settings, look for sound. There is a setting to disable sound (ie system sounds). Then when you login for example no sound will be played | 21:03 |
| kwtm | Brandano: I don't want to use a GUI because then I can't ssh in to a computer and then use PuTTy. (From outside of home I ssh into a gateway computer and then ssh from there into another computer.) | 21:03 |
| filosofixit | My friend tried to uninstall the binary nvidia driver using hardware drivers, but now he is unable to log in due to blank screen... I have ssh access to his box but am not able to restore to binary nvidia drivers.. have installed the nvidia-current package and runned : " sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg " but still no luck | 21:03 |
| Slackman | the cd seems fine on different computers is there a way to fix that | 21:03 |
| xro | Jordan_U, ok.. and what are the difference between the new shell and gnome shell? | 21:03 |
| filosofixit | xorg.conf shows "nvidia" as the driver enabled... should it be " nv " ? | 21:03 |
| === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki | ||
| koperino | Idle0ne :I think it started at least I see a lot of commands with natty-updates in it | 21:03 |
| l403 | coun, the sound theme is disabled in gnome settings but fluxbox doesnt respect those | 21:03 |
| Brandano | kwtm: just tunnel the SSH port, I imagine | 21:03 |
| kwtm | phed: Ok. Will keep that in mind! I use screen so I don't use the multiple sessions that much. Main criteria I use for WIndows is: how easily can I find, download, and install it in a restrictive corporate environment? :) | 21:03 |
| edbian | CQ: sudo modprobe sbs | 21:03 |
| coun | @phibxr. hehe. lol. Can't get Unity to work 3D with the default graphics driver. But graphics card works 3D with proprietary driver on Windows XP | 21:04 |
| hittt | what does frameworkd do? | 21:04 |
| IdleOne | koperino: ok good, let it do its thing and hope it doesn't get interrupted again :) | 21:04 |
| edbian | CQ: injects modules into the kernel. Think of it as 'turning a drive ron' | 21:04 |
| SnookiNeedsJC | i've had real slow transfers from Ubuntu 9-10 to flash drives. any ideas to fix? | 21:04 |
| kwtm | Brandano: Right, but do you know how much bandwidth that takes up? :? | 21:04 |
| koperino | Thanxs | 21:04 |
| phibxr | coun, ah, yes, right. why don't you use the proprietary drivers? the noveau drivers aren't that good yet. | 21:04 |
| IdleOne | koperino: welcome | 21:04 |
| Brandano | kwtm: same as that double SSH conn you use. Uses up a little more processor, perhaps | 21:04 |
| CQ | edbian: doesn't do anthing, modprobe -l doesnt show it, locate doesn't show it... | 21:05 |
| coun | @filosofixit, have friends try running the LIVE CD and see if he can fix it up that way | 21:05 |
| Slackman | any one can help? advise? - trying to install ubuntu on the new macbook pro 2011 15" but get the following message on cd boot - "unable to find a medium containing a live file system" | 21:05 |
| MnCC | its driving me nuts ...where are the launcher shortcuts stored ? | 21:05 |
| jgould | Slackman: I havnen't seen that one yet... | 21:05 |
| Jordan_U | xro: Best way to find out is probably to try both. You can try GNOME shell from a fedora 15 beta liveCD and Unity from Ubuntu 11.04. | 21:05 |
| phibxr | coun, press <super> (Windows-key) and type driver, press enter. should present you with Additional drivers, where you can activate the proprietary drivers. | 21:05 |
| filosofixit | coun : he does not have a clue how to do that :) | 21:05 |
| edbian | CQ: If it returns without giving an error that means it was inserted successfully. Try running sudo sensors-detect | 21:05 |
| phed | kwtm: well I also work in a restrictive corporate environment, only place I use Windows, and had no problems, so I am pretty sure you will be fine :) | 21:05 |
| kwtm | Brandano: Oh, I see. I thought you meant tunnel VNC through the SSH port so I can use putty on the remote computer. No, the gateway computer has scripts for me to ssh into the satellite computers, so I just leave it. It's a lot handier running the gateway computer than the client computer at work anyway, since the gateway is set up the way I like. | 21:05 |
| jgould | Slackman: I've been having issues with the kernel on my 2011 13" MacBook Pro | 21:06 |
| kwtm | phed: Sounds good. WIll check it out. Thanks for the tip! | 21:06 |
| CQ | edbian: but modprobe -l should show it, shouldn't it?? | 21:06 |
| edbian | CQ: Yeah it should. Try lsmod | grep sbs | 21:06 |
| tbrew13 | I cant make compiz effects work in ubuntu 11.04 | 21:06 |
| coun | @phibxr, well I tried the proprietary on Ubuntu. Problem I had, it would never remember settings after reboot :) So for example every reboot my res would return to 800x600 or something. | 21:06 |
| Brandano | hmm, i use VNC tunneled over SSH, but only for Windows machines. And even then probably I ought to use therminal server | 21:06 |
| CQ | edbian: nope, shows nothing | 21:06 |
| xro | Jordan_U, unity don't have a "work bar" on the bottom on the screen... not usable for me! | 21:06 |
| sary | Salutation. | 21:06 |
| edbian | CQ: strange. | 21:06 |
| phibxr | coun, that's one strange bug. what card are you using? | 21:06 |
| filosofixit | what is the correct driver name in xorg.conf for the binary nvidia driver? "nvidia" or "nv" ? | 21:07 |
| SnookiNeedsJC | need ideas - when I copy files using u 9 or 10 to flash drive it takes forever. any way to speed this up? | 21:07 |
| edbian | CQ: Does sudo sensors-detect work any differently? | 21:07 |
| AMAG | l403: nvidia-settings detects the display and graphics card, and I did a "save" from this program which did modify xorg.conf again, and rebooted again, yet the driver is still not being used. | 21:07 |
| coun | @phibxr, yes this is what I did but none of them worked to do 3D with unity | 21:07 |
| phibxr | coun, i'm using some obsure intel/nvidia integrated card in my laptop, so most cards should work as well or better. :P | 21:07 |
| edbian | CQ: What is the ultimate goal here? | 21:07 |

| kwtm | phed: Waitaminnit! It's cheating! When I use mRemote, one of the prerequisites (besides needing to install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 on my work computer) is PuTTy! So why wouldn't I just use PuTTy? | 21:08 |
| TheRedOctober | (oops) | 21:08 |
| edbian | CQ: Ignoring this sbs error what functionality are you getting out of gkrellm ? | 21:08 |
| botcity | AceKing, sorry maybe the update they mentioned about clearing history will help . when that comes out! | 21:08 |
| tbrew13 | someone help ubuntu 11.04 is very choppy can i have some help fixing this | 21:08 |
| edbian | tbrew13: Graphics card? | 21:08 |
| AMAG | l403: the nvidia-current one? | 21:09 |
| kwtm | phed: I was all set to say, "This is great! It can do SCP as well, and PuTTy can't, meaning I have to install WinSCP also." | 21:09 |
| CQ | edbian: shows quite a few sensors that the sensors command shows as well | 21:09 |
| phibxr | coun, have you tried "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current"? | 21:09 |
| AceKing | botcity, Ok, thank you for your help! | 21:09 |
| Jordan_U | xro: Have you tried finding a new workflow? Try double clicking on the icon of the app you want to switch to to see all its windows in exposé. | 21:09 |
| l403 | AMAG, Id do all of them that you have installed and have the word nvidia in them :) | 21:09 |
| phed | kwtm, as said i use it mainly for multiple sessions and the tidyness of the desktop | 21:09 |
| coun | Ivy Bridge graphics supposed to make gains over current Sandy Bridge. Hopefully this whole proprietary drive things will be a thing of past | 21:09 |
| edbian | CQ: I'm not sure what sbs does. What the error pertains to. Perhaps it makes no difference having it installed or not. I can't offer any more advice :( | 21:09 |
| guntbert | sary: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. | 21:09 |

| edbian | filosofixit: I think so? It's going to be a bit of trial and error I'm afraid | 21:14 |
| Brandano | Jordan_U: I bet they will just update it to the point you won't be able to tell it apart from Gnome 2 | 21:14 |
| xro | Jordan_U, yes.. but if the default is unity... the future development will be done for unity... i'm afraid to see incompatibilities for gnome | 21:15 |

| billsmith | The screen is so broken that I can't get to a terminal. | 21:16 |
| jibadeeha | tbrew13, i wish unity would flash the icon or something when somebody messages me rather than shake it for a short duration that i might miss | 21:16 |
| l403 | AMAG, boot insto single user mode, install them via apt or aptitude and then just run /etc/init.d/gdm start | 21:17 |
| epimeth_ | hi all! can I restrict which services a user can start/stop using sudo? IE: I want them to be able to service apache2 restart but not, say mysql | 21:17 |
| billsmith | BTW, have been running SuSE 11.4 and there are boot problems and video problems with that release that have not been evident with previous versions. | 21:18 |
| Brandano | billsmith: just use an actual terminal rather than the terminal window. CTRL+ALT+F1 to CTRL+ALT+F& . CTRL+ALT+F7 will bring you back to the graphical interface | 21:18 |
| Brandano | err, s/F&/F6/ | 21:18 |
| Osmodivs | So, MSN is not compatible with aMSN, because I am trying to do a web conference and I can ' t | 21:18 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, okay no please help me with that also how do i get compiz effects working | 21:18 |
| sary | guntbert, that/ exactly. | 21:18 |
| AMAG | l403: actually the "failsafe graphics mode" choice in the recovery menu worked, so i am re-installing nvidia-current now and will see what happens in a few minutes. | 21:18 |
| edbian | tbrew13: I'm thinking that switching drivers will solve both problems. | 21:18 |
| MnCC | anyone know a good total commander clone ? | 21:19 |
| billsmith | I'll try that again, but recall the previous attempt failed. Don't recall what happened, so as mentioned, will retest. | 21:19 |
| gridbag | you guys are scaring me. i don't think i want to upgrade to 4.11 today. | 21:19 |
| AMAG | How could gdm be depending on nvidia-current but it isn't the X driver that X is running? This seems strange. | 21:19 |
| sary | gridbag , why not ? | 21:19 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, how do i do this | 21:19 |
| Brandano | that would be a release from November 2004? | 21:20 |
| edbian | tbrew13: According to lspci radeon (the open source driver) is installed it just isn't being used. If we remove fglrx (sudo apt-get purge fglrx) and reboot we should see the radeon is being used in sudo lspci -k | 21:20 |
| billsmith | Am just curious if the same problems with SuSE are evident in Ubuntu. From the comments scolling by, it may have to do with changes in the kernel. | 21:20 |
| edbian | tbrew13: Make sense? | 21:20 |
| usr13 | MnCC: are you talking about Midnight Commander? | 21:20 |
| meraqlix | do I need to format and re-install Ubuntu 11.04 after missing the GUI from the rescent 11.04 update? | 21:20 |
| xro | Jordan_U, thanks for your time.... i hope ubuntu won't disappoint me in the future... | 21:20 |
| l403 | no | 21:20 |
| jamesstanley | Jordan_U: are you sure the device.map thing is a red herring? Should I not try to find and correct device.map? | 21:21 |
| CQ | meraqlix: no. sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop could do it | 21:21 |
| usr13 | MnCC: mc - Midnight Commander - a file manager | 21:21 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, on it but can i just use the addtional drivers and uninstall it from there | 21:21 |
| MnCC | usr13, no a good equivalent for the Windows version of Total Commander under nix | 21:21 |
| guntbert | sary: are you behind a proxy? | 21:21 |
| usr13 | MnCC: Ok, sorry, I don't know about Total Commander. | 21:21 |
| MnCC | usr13, thanks | 21:22 |
| edbian | tbrew13: The additional driver thing is buggy in my opinion. I think it will cause more problems then it will solve but you can if you want. We should still confirm things using sudo lspci (or sudo lsmod is even better) | 21:22 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, do i have to reboot or will log out work | 21:22 |
| Brandano | MnCC: runs on wine | 21:22 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, i removed it your way | 21:22 |
| edbian | tbrew13: I suggest a reboot | 21:23 |
| l403 | MnCC, filezilla | 21:23 |
| tbrew13 | ok on it now | 21:23 |
| zerosanity | ok.. my menu bars turned white and i can't get them back to the dark defaults.. how do i fix it? | 21:23 |
| edbian | tbrew13: :) | 21:23 |
| zul_ | hi all | 21:23 |
| AMAG | l403: Same situation after re-installing nvidia-current. X works but "Additional Drivers" claims the nvidia driver isn't in use, and 3D acceleration is clearly not working because glxgears like doesn't even budge, the system is almost hung when running it, and it claims it is running at 17,000 frames/second, but obviously that's not true | 21:23 |
| l403 | lol | 21:23 |
| sary | guntbert , No , not something am aware of. but i've start notcing this issue after i've re-subscribe to my (ISP). week ago. | 21:24 |
| AMAG | well, I dunno, maybe it could be but the gears aren't moving and the system is useless :) | 21:24 |
| zul_ | who can tell me what's the path to copy mysql-connector-java-5.1.10-bin.jar for a java web application running in tomcat6? | 21:24 |
| l403 | AMAG, I am trying to kill sound events in fluxbox unsuccessfully.. going for a smoke | 21:24 |
| AMAG | l403: I'll probably still be here struggling with X when you come back :) | 21:24 |
| newb2linux | Is anyone able to help me out removeing a ppa in terminal? | 21:24 |
| velcroshooz | could someone tell me the best way to format an 'advanced format' (ie the larger sector) drive under linux? | 21:24 |
| l403 | sul_ find / "name.jar" | 21:25 |
| zul_ | #ubuntu-it | 21:25 |
| edbian | newb2linux: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list comment out that PPA | 21:25 |
| guntbert | sary: try it with a text based browser (like elinks) | 21:25 |
| MnCC | Brandano, personally i dont trust wine with tc on ext4 .. you tried it ? | 21:26 |
| zul_ | the java application is in /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps l403 | 21:26 |
| zerosanity | ok i've got it looking like this http://bit.ly/iGN6vx but i want it to look like this http://bit.ly/ip2lSn again. help! | 21:26 |
| yehudah_ | how do you use a bluetooth device that has been rejected | 21:26 |
| Brandano | AMAG: check the output from glxinfo and /var/log/Xorg.0.log for (EE) lines ( cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep \(EE\) ) | 21:26 |
| quix | Hello | 21:26 |
| MnCC | l403, gonna try it | 21:26 |
| Brandano | MnCC: nope. I have plenty of other stuff running with Wine on ext3 though | 21:26 |
| quix | I've been using LibreOffice on Ubuntu 11.04 a lot these days and I've noticed a strange behavior | 21:26 |
| newb2linux | its not a ppa I guess.. this is what I get when I try to update with apt-get | 21:27 |
| newb2linux | W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/user/ppa-name/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found | 21:27 |
| newb2linux | how do I remove that? | 21:27 |
| MnCC | Brandano, can you give me some examples ? | 21:27 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, ok now i need help how do i get xchat to put its icon on the top panel where the shutdown button is and how do i use compiz effects | 21:27 |
| newb2linux | Err http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid/main Packages | 21:27 |
| quix | when I drag content within LibreOffice (text, images, etc), Ubuntu"s dock locks up above all otehr windows, ifen if they are maximized | 21:27 |
| quix | anzone else having this problem | 21:28 |
| Brandano | MnCC: Steam, Myst Online... games mainly | 21:28 |
| newb2linux | What is ppa.launchpad.net? | 21:28 |
| celthunder | /b 7 | 21:28 |
| edbian | tbrew13: So what driver is being used? Is the choppiness problem gone? | 21:28 |
| quix | even* | 21:28 |
| AMAG | glxinfo says "server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation" and I have no (EE) lines in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 21:28 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, yes | 21:28 |
| l403 | AMAG, I can msg you my xorg.conf | 21:28 |
| MnCC | Brandano, cool | 21:28 |
| edbian | tbrew13: Are you using unity? | 21:28 |
| gjeoffroy | exit | 21:28 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, yes | 21:28 |
| edbian | tbrew13: ps -e | grep compiz | 21:28 |
| edbian | tbrew13: What does that return? | 21:28 |
| Brandano | MnCC: to be honest, Steam is installed on ext3, but the appdata folder is a symlink to a folder on an NTFS partition | 21:28 |
| AMAG | l403: sure | 21:28 |
| scottlad | hello | 21:29 |
| Brandano | MnCC: that way I get to reuse the same space for Windows and Linux. I rarely run Windows, but some of the steam apps won't run on Linux | 21:29 |
| newb2linux | Err http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid/main Packages when updating with apt-get in terminal how do I fix? | 21:29 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, im lost like can i put an panel on the botton like in classic ubuntu and how do i put icons on my desktop i cant drag them from the unity bar | 21:30 |
| dfgas | updated to 11.04 and now my screen is all messed up. besides /etc/X11/xorg.conf is there any other settings i can delete? | 21:30 |
| dfgas | so it will auto setup my screen again? | 21:30 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, result of that command 1525 ? 00:00:26 compiz | 21:30 |
| dfgas | or any other way to fix it?? | 21:30 |
| MnCC | Brandano, i have that too .. but i ditched windows completely .. run some apps in virtualbox if i cant find a suitable replacement | 21:30 |
| Brandano | AMAG: does glxinfo say "direct rendering: on" somewhere? | 21:30 |
| edbian | tbrew13: That command shows me that compiz is running. In unity you cannot drag the buttons off the unity bar. To add a new panel I think you right click an existing panel and select new panel. Not sure if this is gone in unity as well. | 21:31 |
| Brandano | MnCC: I doubt I have enough processor power for serious 3D graphics in a virtual PC | 21:31 |
| === david is now known as Guest74562 | ||
| Brandano | AMAG: sorry, I meant "Yes" instead of "on" | 21:32 |
| MnCC | Brandano, well you can assign 3d memory from your graphics card in 4.0 .. but for gaming .. i dunno ..it might | 21:32 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, okay so how do i get xchat to beep or an icon on the top panel of unity so i know when you message me | 21:32 |
| sary | guntbert will do. | 21:32 |
| edbian | tbrew13: in xchat settings -> preferences -> alerts -> enable system tray icon. Assuming you're not running gnome-xchat or what | 21:32 |
| dp | is there a walkthrough on being able to sync music/videos/photos/etc to your iphone from natty? | 21:32 |
| scottlad | Anyone need any hosting? | 21:33 |
| AMAG | brando:Yes, it says "direct rendering: Yes" | 21:33 |
| oCean | scottlad: no spamming please | 21:33 |
| guntbert | scottlad: don't advertise | 21:33 |
| Brandano | AMAG: then your drivers are installed fine | 21:33 |
| newb2linux | Err http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid/main Packages when updating with apt-get in terminal how do I fix? | 21:33 |
| Brandano | AMAG: the problem is somewhere else | 21:33 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, system try icon is checked nothing | 21:34 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, running regular version | 21:34 |
| Brandano | AMAG: did you restart the desktop manager after installing them? | 21:34 |
| botcity | !iphone | dp | 21:34 |
| ubottu | dp: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 21:34 |
| AMAG | Brandano: Yes. I think it might be that "glx" is not loaded into X? | 21:34 |
| edbian | tbrew13: Maybe it's a unity thing. Can you right click on the top panel -> add to panel -> notification area | 21:34 |
| pattysmatty | is dban good to use? | 21:34 |
| AMAG | l403:My xorg.conf does not have this anywhere: Load "glx" | 21:35 |
| dp | botcity: sadly, the ipod I have doesn't work with rockbox yet, and everything in the iPhone page (from a cursory glance) is based around the suggestion that you're jailbroken | 21:35 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, i cant right click on the top panel at all | 21:35 |
| edbian | tbrew13: Then it's unity to blame | 21:35 |
| TheRedOctober | Has anyone gotten dual monitors extended desktop working on xubuntu-desktop 11.04? | 21:35 |
| edbian | tbrew13: Sounds to me like you're missing gnome2. Why don't you use ubuntu classic at login? | 21:35 |
| yehudah_ | how do you use a bluetooth device that has been rejected | 21:35 |
| sary | guntbert , you think it's a browser part issue. what's odd is that / i've tried to post-in to forums from a windows machine. | 21:36 |
| MnCC | yehudah_, remove device try again | 21:36 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, i like unity just working with it ok i got it to show a notification at the top of the screen | 21:36 |
| edbian | tbrew13: What did you do to get a notification area? | 21:36 |
| guntbert | sary: and did it work? | 21:36 |
| tbrew13 | but how do i add icons to the desktop if i cant drag them | 21:36 |
| edbian | tbrew13: I don't know. | 21:36 |
| MnCC | yehudah_, i tried mine like 3 or 4 times before it accepted | 21:36 |
| yehudah_ | dont help | 21:36 |
| tbrew13 | check show bollons in prefrences | 21:36 |
| Brandano | AMAG: neither does mine, doesn't seem to be a problem. In the "device" section what is the value of "Driver" ? | 21:36 |
| sary | guntbert: it did work, Yes. | 21:36 |
| W00tty | hi | 21:36 |
| edbian | tbrew13: Preferences for xchat or perferences for unity? | 21:37 |
| * sary testing in elinks + w3m. | 21:37 | |
| tbrew13 | edbian, xchat | 21:37 |
| edbian | tbrew13: mm. Fixed? | 21:37 |
| Master | hi guys | 21:37 |
| edbian | tbrew13: Any more problems? | 21:37 |
| W00tty | how can I change my console coloring with the command force-color in the config file ? | 21:38 |
| tbrew13 | yeah | 21:38 |
| Master | what's up | 21:38 |
| edbian | tbrew13: :D | 21:38 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, thank you so much okay what about desktop cube wobbly windows | 21:38 |
| tbrew13 | stuff like that | 21:38 |
| AMAG | Brandano: Driver nvidia | 21:38 |
| guntbert | sary: I want to make sure if it might be a problem with gnome settings, a transparent proxy,.... - but I'm out for tonight - Good luck :-) | 21:38 |
| edbian | tbrew13: install compizconfig-settings-manager and tweak to your hearts content! | 21:38 |
| Brandano | AMAG: that really ought to be enough | 21:39 |
| tbrew13 | tried it messed up ill try again | 21:39 |
| edbian | tbrew13: What do you mean you messed up? | 21:39 |
| l403 | AMAG, success. I am done. I have no idea what I did. I just booted into gnome and then back to flux its the sounds are gone. | 21:39 |
| __yhvh__ | why is the emacs-snapshot package more out of date than the emacs package? | 21:39 |
| yehudah_ | MnCC: just tried 6/7 times. the device has been added to the reject list. | 21:39 |
| Brandano | AMAG: anyway, messed up stuff in xorg.conf would show in the logs | 21:39 |
| yehudah_ | how do i remove it from the list | 21:39 |
| AMAG | from looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log it seems like the nvidia driver is running, as is glx, but I can't understand why glxgears does not work and the "Additional Drivers" tools says it isn't being used. | 21:39 |
| edbian | AMAG: Not sure about glxgears. Additional Drivers is a bit buggy in my opinion. Not surprised it's lying to you :P | 21:40 |
| Brandano | Well, if you started the safe graphics mode it won't be used in your current session, but I guess that is not what you mean | 21:40 |
| AMAG | Yeah, I rebooted since then, several times. :) | 21:41 |
| Brandano | Do you have the Nvidia X Server Settings icon in System>Administration? | 21:41 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, i would make the top bar disappear i would log out the top bar would work again but wobbly windows was unchecked | 21:41 |
| JWay | after upgrade to 11.04 google chrome opens a tab 500 ms slower than it used to, any suggestions? | 21:41 |
| Brandano | Perhaps it is mapped to a different display | 21:42 |
| AMAG | Yes, and it is able to detect the monitor and the graphics card. I hit "save" and it modified Xorg.conf, but all it seems to have done is add descriptions. | 21:42 |
| sary | guntbert you're so kind in assistance ;) .. i've noted the ' gnome transparent proxy ' ty and have a nice one/ | 21:42 |
| JWay | happens on both ubuntu classic and unity | 21:42 |
| edbian | tbrew13: What is making the top bar disappear ? | 21:42 |
| Master | ok | 21:42 |
| edbian | tbrew13: If you check wobbly windows do they become... wobbly? | 21:43 |
| Brandano | edbian: I bet for autohide | 21:43 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, whenever i disable snapping windows to enable wobbly windows | 21:43 |
| tbrew13 | be right back | 21:43 |
| Master | guys i need help ! | 21:43 |
| Brandano | Ah, missing decorators in compiz | 21:43 |
| Master | commeon | 21:43 |
| Master | common | 21:43 |
| edbian | tbrew13: ? You can have snapping and wobbly at the same time. What do you mean top bar? The top unity bar or the title bar of the window? | 21:43 |
| AMAG | I'm really confused as this all worked fine before I upgraded to 11.04, from 10.10. I admit it's been quite a few years since I've had to fight with X to make things work. :) | 21:44 |
| Master | what's the best linux ????? | 21:44 |
| Brandano | Master: I can give you some generic solutions, or do you want a specific one? | 21:44 |
| edbian | Brandano: You think the decorators for compiz are missing for tbrew ? | 21:44 |
| Brandano | Master: why would you ask that in an ubuntu centric channel? | 21:44 |
| Brandano | edbian: I had that problem in the past when fiddling with an early compiz and emerald | 21:45 |
| Somelauw | Hi, how do I do: sudo cat 1 > proc/sys/sysrq ? | 21:45 |
| Master | i don't know just asking to improve my knowledje about linux | 21:45 |
| edbian | Brandano: Oh yeah? Tell tbrew how to fix it! :D | 21:45 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, wobbly windows work but it made the top bar go missing i logged out and logged in and now wobbly windows does not work and is unchecked snapping windows is rechecked | 21:45 |
| Somelauw | Can I do it without su? | 21:45 |
| Brandano | edbian: but I don't remember how I got around fixing it. Ultimately I fixed everything by disabling Compiz | 21:45 |
| edbian | tbrew13: see Brandano He has an idea | 21:45 |
| edbian | Brandano: well crap | 21:45 |
| Brandano | tbrew13: let me google a bit | 21:46 |
| sary | Master , Linux is just the kernel / you meant whats the best GNU/Linux Distro. you have to find out yourself .. and there is no such thing as ' the best '. | 21:46 |
| CQ | Master starting with ubuntu is not bad, easy to install, fairly stable, and you can always dig into the internals as much as you like | 21:46 |
| phibxr | Master, of course, most people in here would respond 'ubuntu'. :) | 21:46 |
| sary | I would go with CQ advice ;) | 21:46 |
| edbian | tbrew13: I'm not sure. Try messing with all the different settings in ccsm. Like maybe gnome-support or some other generic settings. The title bars are drawn by the 'decorator' not sure if that's related | 21:46 |
| jamesstanley | Jordan_U: I have got my update-grub to work :D. I made a /boot/grub/device.map with "(vg1-ubuntu--root) /dev/vg1/ubuntu-root" as the only contents | 21:46 |
| phibxr | Master, it's like joining #apple and asking what the best personal computer is. :P | 21:46 |
| === Wolf is now known as Guest65209 | ||
| tbrew13 | edbian, is there a way i can get in touch with you outside the channel you really helped me and i have to go so post it and ill look when i get back Brandano im sorry i have to go post like an email or something or at least tell me if you will get on again | 21:47 |

| edbian | or not... | 21:47 |
| Jordan_U | jamesstanley: That is a *very* bad idea and will break grub-install (without warning). | 21:47 |
| deokanon | hello, i have a simple question... did something change in the open source propiertary driver for graphic cards in 11.04? i can play games now like crazy | 21:47 |

| Glycan | Hello. | 21:48 |
| Glycan | How do I make it so that U boots before windows? | 21:48 |
| Master | good | 21:48 |
| syrinx_ | !ot | Master | 21:48 |

| botcity | Somelauw, what is that for ? it does not make sense | 21:48 |
| sary | ale_: Could we assist you with something ? | 21:48 |
| yehudah_ | how do you use a bluetooth device that has been added to the reject list | 21:48 |
| edgy | Hi, echo '1z' |grep --color '[A-Z]' | 21:48 |
| edgy | 1z | 21:48 |
| AMAG | l403:any other ideas? My Xorg.conf file looks functionally identical to yours, except Load glx, but I added that to mine and it did not do anything (other than emit a message to Xorg.0.log about how it's both automatic and configured) | 21:48 |
| edgy | why z is selected? | 21:48 |
| jamesstanley | Jordan_U: grub-install currently works perfectly well and i can't see myself changing the name of either the vg or the lv ever | 21:49 |
| sary | Glycan: that whould be from grub setting , i can't recall it how though. | 21:49 |
| CQ | AMAG: I had some other stuff installed (nvidia drivers iirc) that I had to uninstall to get the GL based stuff to work properly... maybe you have something installed you don't need and that's being used? | 21:49 |
| Jordan_U | jamesstanley: By putting a device in /boot/grub/device.map you are stating that said device is a plain device accessible at boot from the BIOS (i.e. not a higher level abstraction like LVM). | 21:49 |
| Glycan | Please explain, | 21:49 |
| Glycan | I deleted windows and now I can't boot. | 21:50 |
| sary | Glycan: you might wana check grub config.files | 21:50 |
| Glycan | (On that box) | 21:50 |
| Glycan | Where? | 21:50 |
| Jordan_U | jamesstanley: grub-install will not give any error, but it will produce a core.img which cannot read LVM. | 21:50 |
| jamesstanley | Jordan_U: the root filesystem should be irrelevant to grub since /boot is not in lvm | 21:50 |
| Somelauw | botcity: I am trying to enable sysrq magic. I have trouble with the getting acces part. | 21:50 |
| Jordan_U | jamesstanley: Ahh, indeed. | 21:50 |

| CQ | Amag no idea either, i went through the packages that were installed and renoved the xserver-* packages I didn't need and also the nvidia stuff since i have intel chipset | 21:51 |
| thevishy | can I make sure windows partitions are untouched? | 21:51 |
| Jordan_U | jamesstanley: You may not get the full resolution purple menu at boot since fonts won't be able to be read from LVM, but other than that it should be fine. | 21:51 |
| jamesstanley | that's no odds to me | 21:52 |

| LjL | MnCC: well it's easier to do it during install than after, to be honest. you need gparted and a bit of console tinkering. shrink your / partition, make space for a /home partition, format it, copy everything from your old /home there, add the new /home to fstab, reboot, see if it works, if it works reboot into single user mode, delete stuff from old /home, done | 22:19 |

| lastoflast | need help in me menu | 23:00 |
| VCoolio | AgresiV: there was a 4.8 release for xfce which is the desktop environment in xubuntu; it's certainly not in 10.10, maybe 11.04, if it is, upgrade is worth it | 23:00 |
| nodus | MarcoPau, you probably didnt install vmware via a deb | 23:00 |
| studentz | AgresiV look at this link http://www.webupd8.org/2011/01/unity-2d-qt-now-available-in-ppa-for.html | 23:00 |
| MarcoPau | nodus: I guess, but it's been ages and I can't remember. do I better ask the vmware guys? | 23:01 |
| Axlin | yeah, xubuntu 11.04 ships with xfce 4.8 | 23:02 |

| Glycan | I/my friend had Windows vista on a toshiba laptop. The screen broke, I took it from him, hooked it up to another screen, put U on it (11.04), the computer was very cluttered so I only put the gb partition, then when space became very tight I tryed cleaning the windows, deleted windows (didn't get my space back- How do you change partition borders?), then a while later when I rebooted, it tryed | 23:09 |
| Glycan | to poitn to windows (normally boot points to windows, and windows asks you what you want, and you go to ubuntu from there.), but most of windows wosn't there, so I can't get to U. A live CD I made only shows test console, and doesn't even let past the cd, I think. "BusyBox v1.17.1, build in shell (ash). How do I get to U? | 23:09 |

| raido | Glycan: Sounds like you removed the boot bartition/boot loader. Unless you have some significant investment in that install, and since you dont want Windows anyway, just start ovar. Reinstall Ubuntu and manage the partitions on the fresh install process. | 23:14 |
| cellardoor | Which is the ubuntu dev channel? #ubuntu-dev is relatively deserted | 23:14 |

| Vitux | in that case I don't fully understand your issue | 23:19 |

They're claiming the fix has been released in the given versions they write in there.. but how do I get those versions, because the official packages have earlier versions? | 23:22 |

| lastoflast | vitux-i have large music collections around 50k,so managing requires good music organizers.i like rhythmbox but it has playlist queue(i cant play one song again). you might say that you have browser,but suppose i need two different artists.i would not create playlist for that | 23:22 |
| Vitux | hmm | 23:23 |
| Vitux | well you could do as I do.. throw everything in the library and make different playlists | 23:23 |
| Vitux | I can play any one song I want at a time | 23:23 |

| Limada | hello everybody, hope somebody can help. I need to copy my web folder into var/www so I can launch in in firefox, how can I do it? thanks in advance. | 23:30 |
| beanstalk | phed: how should I fix it? | 23:30 |
| coz_ | Limada, several ways,, in terminal sudo nautilus,, then you can just drag and into that directory or paste it there | 23:30 |
| phed | mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf xorg.conf.broken | 23:31 |
| phed | reboot and test | 23:31 |
| coz_ | Limada, the other way is to sudo mov name/of/webfolder /var/www | 23:31 |
| jimmybrite | I upgraded 10.10 to 11.04, I dual boot, and now I can't boot into ANY os at all, long story short, grub2 messed up my mbr something fierce, can anyone direct me the right way, i'm geting nowhere with the grub2 ubuntu documentation | 23:31 |
| phed | or try to autogen a new xorg.conf file | 23:31 |
| coz_ | Limada, sorry that is sudo mv not mov | 23:31 |
| Limada | coz_, thanks, I need to be root, ohhh....ok. I'll try that, thanks for your kindness. | 23:31 |
| coz_ | Limada, no problem | 23:32 |
| coz_ | Limada, yeah its easy when you do sudo nautilus... but just as easy with the sudo mv stuff as well | 23:32 |
| jimmybrite | I'm also getting error : nosuch device, no such disk, need to load kernel first | 23:32 |

| camille | #questioncopyright | 23:35 |
| raido | It seems so oxymoronic that the Ubuntu policy in IRC it to not support the use of the root account because of the preceived increase in suppord demand but then a huge amount of time and effort is spent on having to support dual booting/resizing partitions and shared partitions between Win/Linux. Having to support dial booting in IRC far surpasses support demand than would peoples use/misuse of the root account and at lease using the root account is related o | 23:35 |
| Limada | coz_ it worked, I did moved the folder there but firefox is now asking me what it should do with the file =/ | 23:35 |
| Glass_Arm | wut | 23:35 |
| coz_ | Limada, ok at this point..you will have to ask someone else.. my feet are a bit wobbly with networking issues of any kind | 23:36 |
| Limada | coz_ lol, ok. THanks anyway ;) | 23:36 |
| beanstalk | phed: I'm trying your first suggestion | 23:36 |
| dibs | Are you guys getting graphical issue in Natty? | 23:37 |
| beanstalk | phed: the first one works, I think :) | 23:37 |
| coz_ | dibs, can you be a bit more specific? is this nvidia? | 23:37 |
| Kron | dibs: I'm running Natty on a laptop with an NVIDIA card and a desktop with an ATI card. No problems on either. | 23:38 |
| dibs | coz_: ati, compiz, unity, when typing in a window nothing shows till I resize the window then it's fine for a while. | 23:38 |
| coz_ | dibs, ah someone had this issue the other day,, I dont recall the solution,, gah | 23:39 |
| dibs | Anyone else have this issue? ati, compiz, unity, when typing in a window nothing shows till I resize the window then it's fine for a while. | 23:39 |
| Belial` | i did an upgrade from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 and unity worked fine. i just did a clean install of 11.04 and now it's telling me i can't run unity on my system and it defaults to classic. | 23:39 |
| dibs | coz_: yeah it's not too bad but enough to bring me here | 23:39 |
| bU1137Pr00f | Okay, VPNs for Linux. Anyone know of a good service to use? | 23:39 |
| coz_ | dibs, yeah not doubt,, trying to see if I remember the solution,, but no luck so far,, so in the meantime ,, someone else can take this if they remember | 23:39 |
| phed | cool beanstalk gl | 23:39 |
| dibs | coz_: so you think they resolved it? | 23:40 |
| dibs | I hear there are new ati drivers so I might try those? | 23:41 |
| coz_ | dibs, I am vaguely remember that it was solved for that one person,, i dont think I was the one who solved it however | 23:41 |
| Kron | Belial`: Sounds like it's not recognizing your video card. You try installing restricted drivers maybe? | 23:41 |
| Belial` | Kron, i have an optimus laptop (intel switchable to nvidia) but that doesn't work. | 23:41 |
| Belial` | it always uses the intel chip which worked fine when i used unity after upgrading from 10.10 | 23:42 |
| makaveli0129 | i have windows 7 installed in a virtualbox ubuntu as the host OS and i can't see any of my other partitions in virtualbox anyone know how to do this? | 23:42 |
| Belial` | for some reason the clean install doesn't run it. | 23:42 |
| jimmybrite | I upgraded 10.10 to 11.04, I dual boot, and now I can't boot into ANY os at all, long story short, grub2 messed up my mbr something fierce, can anyone direct me the right way, i'm geting nowhere with the grub2 ubuntu documentation, should I just reinstall grub2? | 23:42 |
| coz_ | dibs, I do recall asking to also join #radeon channel | 23:42 |
| dibs | coz_: thanks bro, will do! | 23:43 |

| litropy_ | Hi, peeps. For some reason Bluetooth won't turn on. The menu applet says it's on but when I go into the Bluetooth prefPane I see a but button that says "Turn Bluetooth on." I click that, and the button greys ... and nothing happens. | 23:45 |
| litropy_ | s/but button/button | 23:45 |
| Belial` | Kron, yeah, i've read on all that. it's just weird that if i install 10.10 first and then do an upgrade to 11.04, unity works. | 23:46 |
| Kron | litropy_: You sure it's enabled in the BIOS? | 23:46 |
| Belial` | but i wanted to try a clean install. | 23:46 |
| litropy_ | Kron, yes. | 23:46 |
| Kron | Belial`: I understand wanting a clean install :) | 23:46 |
| Kron | litropy_: I'm afraid my Bluetooth Dongle grew legs. I haven't played with it in Natty :/ | 23:47 |
| litropy_ | Is there a CLI command I can use --verbose in order to see the output of what happens when I attempt to enable Bluetooth? | 23:48 |

| Kevin147 | Now that I upgraded to ubuntu 11.04, it FRIED my monitor, what am I supposed to do about this? >:| | 23:49 |
| litropy_ | Kron, Range is fine from couch distance here | 23:49 |

| litropy_ | Kron, it works when I boot into OS X (not a fanboy). I'm using Refit to dual boot. | 23:50 |
| Kron | litropy_, Not sure if it will show up there, but you could try tail -f /var/log/dmesg and see if any events show up there? | 23:50 |

| litropy_ | Kron, nothing bluetooth-related. | 23:53 |
| Kevin147 | coz_: oh yeah totally, how about you buy me one? not my fault 11.04 FRIED my monitor! I'm ticked | 23:53 |
| linux_is_my_hero | how do i disable ubuntu one? | 23:54 |
| linux_is_my_hero | in ubuntu 11.04? | 23:54 |
| Kevin147 | it was a brand new monitor, just got it over the time of the return date so yup >.> | 23:54 |
| Cheese | I dont know why the operatings system would fry your monitor | 23:54 |
| coz_ | Kevin147, well not trying to be flippant about it,, but ubuntu didnt fry the monitor | 23:54 |
| Cheese | It was probably a coincidence | 23:54 |
| Kevin147 | Cheese: new drivers = fry my monitor | 23:54 |
| Kevin147 | yes it did | 23:54 |
| linux_is_my_hero | kevin147: if the refresh rate is wrong, that can do some damage. | 23:54 |
| Cheese | Oh | 23:54 |
| Cheese | Sucks | 23:54 |
| Kevin147 | nope | 23:54 |
| Kevin147 | it was 60Hz | 23:54 |
| coz_ | Kevin147, which video card do you have? | 23:54 |
| Kevin147 | idk, i can't see it? | 23:54 |
| coz_ | Kevin147, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga | 23:55 |
| linux_is_my_hero | kevin147: did you consider just contacting your monitor vendor and blaming them? | 23:55 |
| linux_is_my_hero | kevin147: just tell them it never worked in the first place and you want another one. | 23:55 |
| coz_ | Kevin147, wait apparenlty you are not on linux ,, am I correct? | 23:55 |
| Kevin147 | linux_is_my_hero: yes I tried that | 23:55 |
| Kevin147 | didn't work because they say that Linux did it | 23:55 |

| Kevin147 | on my laptop atm, that has ubuntu | 23:55 |
| coz_ | Kevin147, yeah ,, shows what they know | 23:55 |
| Cheese | Are you sure it didnt fuck your video card? | 23:56 |
| litropy_ | Kron, browsing | 23:56 |
| coz_ | Kevin147, ah ok | 23:56 |
| Kevin147 | I'm switching over to pclinuxos gnome version | 23:56 |
| linux_is_my_hero | kevin147: call them back and say you have a blank hdd and therefore only a signal from your bios. if they dont understand that just ask to speak to a supervisor. | 23:56 |
| sgaap | Kevin, the only thing that might be an issue is if the driver overclocked your gpu and it fried, but that would be a long shot | 23:56 |
| linux_is_my_hero | 11.04 is slower than 10.10 was because it reenabled ubuntu one. how do i disable ubuntu one in 11.04? | 23:57 |

| Kron | litropy_, You try restarting the bluetooth service? | 23:58 |
| Kevin147 | so bbl. | 23:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | kevin147: have you tried connecting an HD video source via HDMI, like cable/sat/fios or a video game console? | 23:59 |
| litropy_ | Kron, sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart worked! thanks! | 23:59 |
| linux_is_my_hero | or an N64 via component :-D | 23:59 |
| Kron | litropy_, Great! | 23:59 |
| Kevin147 | linux_is_my_hero: still don't work, tried it on my laptop and everything, still don't work so its the monitor not my comp | 23:59 |
| Kevin147 | and before 11.04 does anymore damage to my comp, I'm changing asap. | 23:59 |
