[00:00] anybody? please just point me in the right direction [00:00] BlaDe^, np, I like to help other people (and I get frustrated when I don't succeed at it) ;-) [00:01] How to I convert a *.ogv file to *.avi ? [00:01] My natty wont load ubuntu classic session. It worked the first time, but since I switched to 'ubuntu' and back to 'classic ubuntu', now all sessions load unity regardless. How can I fix it? [00:01] I can't connect to wireless for some reason -- however it shows the wireless networks but the wireless networks that I want to connect to are grayed. [00:01] Is there some file that controls the session? [00:02] 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] Angelic, use Yelp [00:02] 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] Angelic, there is already a guide for resolving network issues [00:02] /usr/share/sessions ? [00:02] where? [00:02] Angelic, open a terminal, type yelp [00:03] i am running ubuntu 64 bit on my single processor netbook. should i worry or is it ok? [00:03] BigMig: You mean your desktop is hosed, or what? [00:03] zizban: That directory doesn't even exist. I would assume it would be some file in /etc [00:03] its just displaying a white panel [00:04] Did I get another nvidia driver when i upgraded to 11.04? Google earth suddenly won't work, I get : Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [00:04] 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] Google Earth has caught signal 11. [00:04] no i dual boot and just ubuntu is screwed [00:04] Angelic, Ill try to help you, what's the issue? [00:04] happolati: Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to pastebin.ca [00:04] BigMig: That's kind of vague. Screwed how? [00:04] Captainkrtek: Well, its seeing the wifi networks but the wifi networks available is showing in grey. [00:05] Angelic, have you tried disabling-re-enabling your adapter [00:05] just uncheck the box "wireless networking" then re-check it [00:05] soreau, I have /usr/share/xsessions [00:05] after boot it shows blinking icons and doesnt let me do anythinh [00:05] 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] Captainkrtek: Tried, still the same result. [00:06] Angelic, is this new? [00:06] Angelic, or did you just upgrade to natty [00:06] i am running ubuntu 64 bit on my single processor netbook. should i worry or is it ok? [00:06] it worked before the update [00:06] Captainkrtek: Its new. [00:06] zizban: That appears to contain the session files, but not the config file to select which it's using [00:06] perfectly [00:06] Angelic, install any new software? is this a new adapter? [00:06] Angelic, maybe you accidentally turned of wireless by means of fn+f2 or a switch/button on the side? [00:06] 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] my question is where to find out how to fix it without downloading a disk and reinstlling [00:06] soreau, right. Does it show all the sessions? [00:06] Captainkrtek: Lastly I put quite a few updates on it. [00:06] zizban: yep [00:07] Angelic, open Synaptic file manager [00:07] then go File -- History [00:07] BigMig: So, GDM doesn't show up at all after booting? [00:07] so you select Unity, log out, login and it doesn't change? [00:07] 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] no all i see is my desktop backround and blinking icons [00:08] geus: Its an IBM R32. [00:08] if by cold boot u mean manually resetting the computer and selecting the kernel i do that [00:08] Captainkrtek: Done. [00:08] 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] 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] How come, with a WUbi install, I hav e0 bytes left on \, but 24GB on \host? [00:08] Angelic, go to file --> history [00:08] cold boot = power computer off [00:08] soreau, check and see if you have a /etc/gdm/custom.conf [00:08] BigMig: .gnome/ .gnome2/ .gnome2_private/ [00:09] And how do I reloacate said memory? [00:09] Captainkrtek: I am in there and now I see all the history. [00:09] thanks i will try that [00:09] 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 :-? [00:09] okay, find anything related to kernel updates or your wireless card? [00:09] zizban: Yes [00:09] BigMig: Hope that helps. [00:10] soreau, Is is this a new install or upgrade [00:10] 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 :-? [00:10] zizban: clean install [00:10] Captainkrtek: Linux firmware thats about it. [00:10] PArdonÉ [00:10] Anyoen mind answering? [00:10] hello, is there a specific channel to talk about compiling? [00:10] 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? [00:11] soreau, sounds like something went wrong during install. [00:11] donkeyinspace, #ubuntu-devel [00:11] Angelic, hold on [00:11] Captainkrtek , thanks [00:11] Glycan, you want to resize / on wubi ? [00:11] donkeyinspace, no problem [00:11] 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] ceed^: you deleted everything except for data ? [00:12] Yes. [00:12] bazhang: yes [00:12] Glycan, there's a special tool for that [00:12] What is it? [00:12] zizban: I just want to know what happens exactly (or what's supposed to happen) when switching sessions [00:13] zizban: I assume some config file is changed but I have no idea where that might be [00:13] Angelic, can you try and find the package for your wireless card? [00:13] hey all, i'm stuck at an initramfs screen, with an error where it can't find /sbin/init in the system on boot. It booted fine last night. I also can't load up the LiveUSB. Any suggestions on fixing? [00:13] Angelic, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [00:13] ceed^: what do you meen by saying you deleted everything except data on /home ? [00:13] 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] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1625371 Glycan [00:14] soreau, got me [00:14] How do I make Unity start at login rather than restarting window manager after I log in? [00:14] How do you figure out if a CPU is 64-bit? [00:14] zizban: I am requesting the ubuntu gdm source in the devel channel [00:15] ceed^: mounting the encrypted root-partition on boot works but you have problems by mounting the encrypted home-partition? [00:15] 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] puff: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep lm :if you get any output you have a 64 bit capable processor [00:15] bastidrazor: Okay, so it's *not* 64-bit... [00:16] soreau, you know it might be controlled by $GNOME_PREFIX/share/gdm/defaults.conf [00:16] I'm not sure though [00:16] hello [00:17] ceed^: mounting the encrypted root-partition on boot works but you have problems by mounting the encrypted home-partition? [00:17] 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] rednammoc, the only partition which is encrypted is /home. [00:18] i just installed ubuntu 11.04, and i see that nvidia drivers are installed but the additional drivers page says that no proprietary drivers are in use on this system. [00:19] hello [00:19] victorhugo289, hi [00:19] ceed^: this is a google result for: ubuntu installation recognize encrypted home partition --> http://superuser.com/questions/12182/how-to-get-a-reinstall-of-ubuntu-to-recognize-home-partition [00:19] Guys, in Banshee, does "importing your videos" copy everything into a different folder? [00:19] what does it do? [00:20] zizban: 'locate defaults.conf|grep gdm' shows no output [00:20] tanyone know why im getting a black screen after switching to KDE? [00:20] "this driver is activated but not currently in use"... how do i make ubuntu use the nvidia driver? [00:21] The Banshee "import" option, does it copy media files into a different folder? anybody? [00:21] Why won't ubuntu recognize my cds? [00:21] I dont think so [00:21] drmorphias, make sure you read the buttons right, my drivers are green button and gray button; confusing [00:21] I think it just makes a playlist [00:21] soreau: Ok, here it is: http://pastebin.ca/2053648 [00:21] Zizban, I don't think so either, but I just wanna make sure before I click on "Import" [00:22] w30, yeah it shows a green icon. confusingly enough, unity works when ubuntu claims the driver isnt in use (ugh) [00:22] I'm running out of space on my computer [00:22] victorhugo289, I think your safe [00:22] i am running ubuntu 64 bit on my single processor netbook. should i worry or is it ok? [00:22] rednammoc, I have read that, but that is about /home that's not encrypted. I already know how to do that without /home encrypted. [00:23] I'll choose the option, then. : ) [00:23] lol free should be ok [00:23] freeman_: That is OK. [00:23] hallo [00:23] is there like a 3d test i can run to really see if the driver is actually being used? [00:23] Would anyone be able to venture a guess as to why skype makes my laptop run really hot (~90C) but is fine otherwise? [00:23] drmorphias, how do you make Unity default without having to reload window manager? [00:23] can someone help me please? [00:23] ubuntu 10.10... [00:23] need help at 11.04 natty narwhal [00:23] im running 32 bit ubuntu on my netbook [00:23] just dunno how to partition [00:23] how do you make a sound theme? [00:23] w30, idk... it defaulted for me. [00:24] drmorphias, if you can run the program gears then the driver works [00:24] drmorphias: If unity3D is working then you're using the proprietary nvidia drivers. [00:24] hmmmmmmmmp [00:24] the only problem ive had with ubuntu on a netbook is [00:24] someone help me? [00:24] ceed^: ok. i now the manual steps to do that: sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/ ; sudo mount /dev/map/ /home [00:24] w30: Incorrect. glxgears can be runwith the software renderer. [00:24] user10213: ubuntu install walks you through partitioning [00:24] some of the program guis wont ajust for this screen size [00:24] user10213: use gparted [00:24] Yup! everything's ok! [00:25] If an external hd was originally formated on a windows, it should be able to on linux? [00:25] i like cli better anyways though [00:25] victorhugo289, good to hear! [00:25] 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] ceed^: to manually mount your home-partition you need to edit /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab [00:25] Jordan_U, how do you get Unity to run at login? [00:25] Great! [00:25] ray24: yes, ntfs or fat are windows filesystems that linux can read [00:25] atm? [00:25] Hello? [00:25] ray24: Yes. What the drive used to have is of no consequence. [00:25] For some reason, linux isn't letting me format my external drive [00:25] How do I make Ubuntu see my CDs? [00:25] user10213: dual booting ? [00:25] tep and fat32 [00:26] w30: It runs by default. [00:26] Glycan, gotta be a little more specific than that [00:26] ray24, what message do you het? [00:26] Ubuntu doens't see my CDs. That's it. [00:26] "error creating filesystem" [00:26] Jordan_U, not for me *sigh* [00:26] should just show up on the desktop [00:26] 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] When I trry to do "Write to disc" on some file, with a cd, I closes. [00:27] It*, e.g. he file browser [00:27] ray24, what command/program are you using? [00:27] Jordan_U, I have to restart the window manager to get it to run. [00:27] It opens a prompt the first time you put in a CD, but not the next times for the same CD. [00:27] geus, I right click on the hd to format, just straight off linux === jeffish is now known as jeffr === jeffr is now known as jeffish [00:28] ray24, never done it like that, is the disk unmounted? I always use gparted [00:28] jeffster [00:28] ceed^: i never tried that before so i would be really careful about that :D [00:28] wait, I just realized I had "ext" as type of format [00:28] Glycan, what does the prompt say? [00:28] what is swap space? [00:28] Open this CD with.. [00:28] Nope, still didn't work. I changed it to NTSF type [00:28] * zizban hasn't burned a CD in Ubuntu in years [00:28] Glycan, and what do you choose? [00:28] jeffster is now known as jeffster [00:29] ray24, , is the disk unmounted? [00:29] it's mounted [00:29] I downloaded python while I was attempting to set up Conky, and now my splash screens on startup and shutdown are jacked up, I decided I didn't want to use Conky on this system. Anybody know how I can uninstall python? and Conky? [00:29] ceed^: maybe there is a dialog where it say's: "can't read that device/partition -> wanna format" [00:29] what is swap space? :D [00:29] I can access the files on it,but I can't delete or create new files on it, which is why I'm formating [00:29] python_h [00:29] tes [00:29] Er.. Burn stuff to cd [00:30] I forget, sort of, since I only saw it once. [00:30] Aha. [00:30] sudo apt-get remove whatever isnt it? [00:30] "Open CD/DVD Creator [00:30] " [00:30] try it with "Brasero" [00:30] "You have just inserted a black CD. Choose what application to launch" [00:30] hang on. [00:31] Joker_77 I'm not positive what exactly I typed in the terminal :O one second and I'll pull it up [00:31] so take it out and insert a white one [00:31] rednammoc, hopefully it is. I guess I will simply have to backup data on /home and then try to see if it works. Thank you for the manual method though. Good to know! :) [00:31] does Ubuntu work on RAID 0, and do I have to do anything to it to make it work? I was using WUBI to install but keep getting srros [00:31] do a autoclean first [00:32] ceed^: you're welcome :D [00:32] srros? [00:32] Cporter: Yes it works (not that I recommend RAID 0, especially FakeRAID which you are most likely talking about). [00:33] ray24, easy answer: use gparted, unmount the drive and repartition/format [00:33] Cporter: maybe this helps you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x2rZe2Z9as [00:33] jordan its better then no raid and its easier to upgrade later [00:33] geus, it seems that I Don't have permission to access/delete my files on external [00:33] Joker_77 , I typed in $sudo apt-get install aptitude python-statgrab ttf-droid hddtemp curl lm-sensors conky-all [00:33] $sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp [00:33] Guys,, Transmission wont download any torrent after update to Natty,, can someone help please?

[00:34] Tried deleting the config folder, with no avail [00:34] can someone help please? [00:34] its easer to do forensics on too u get less lost data jordon [00:34] can someone private chat and help me on installing linux??

[00:35] anyone know a skeleton template for making a sound theme? [00:35] no i like anarchy [00:35] ray24, you could cd to the drive and type "sudo chown -R yourusername" (make sure you have backups of all your data 1st) [00:35] I love Unity. [00:35] im liking Unity..it has its quirks though [00:35] anyone with transmission experience ? the ports are all set and open, the router is configured, Vuze started working now, but not transmission [00:36] How do I add kernel boot parameters permanently, that last through kernel upgrades? [00:36] I find unity gets better the longer you use it [00:36] ya it has quirks but it's mostly awesome [00:36] ray24, otherwise try gparted [00:36] anyone tried inguma? [00:36] platzhirsch, I cant get it to be default. [00:36] I have still some troubles with using multiple monitors, but its fine [00:36] as it once it knows your typical programs it becomes more efficient [00:36] hello,, anyone?

[01:36] brb [01:36] the wings fall off all the time and they crash [01:37] Eyes_Only: definitely worth to learn vim but as a bloody beginner you might be better off using geany or gedit [01:37] Angelic, 82801CAM (ICH3) thats an i/o hub [01:37] Eyes_Only: because it has buttons and shit [01:37] * madprops loves geany [01:37] i can't say it's worthwhile learning vi just to edit config files as an ubuntu user [01:38] lol [01:38] fogobogo: bout time someone with some stones showed up on this chat. congratulations, youve made my day [01:38] Eyes_Only: youre welcome [01:38] * psusi can't say it is worthwhile learning vi at all... emacs is vastly superior ;) [01:38] NO [01:38] psusi: haha amen [01:38] pre-emptively avoid flamewars [01:39] (besides, everyone knows that ed is the best, vi and emacs are bloat) [01:39] * psusi uses emacs as his OS ;) [01:39] psusi: hax [01:39] emacs i herd of that before. i had a friend that always talks about it. he has rsi now [01:39] who the hell uses just vi anymore? [01:39] or emacs [01:40] lol emacs [01:40] ugh, too late [01:40] if you were gonna use vi at least use vim === ceed^ is now known as ceed^`away [01:40] aeon-ltd: I believe that's implied [01:40] Wvm, actually it kind of prevents rsi since you don't have ot muck about with that silly mouse all the time and generally avoid a great many keystrokes that would be neccesary in other editors [01:41] i warned him about that alt key i warned him dawg [01:41] madprops: I use emacs. [01:41] I'm typing this in emacs now :-). [01:41] Eyes_Only: I'd like to personally thank you for using Aboontoo [01:41] Mark_Shuttlecock: who says im using aboontoo? [01:41] you are in this channel [01:41] And always remember, "vi vi vi" == 666, ergo vi is clearly The Editor of The Beast. [01:41] Mark_Shuttlecock: doesnt mean i use it [01:42] satan knows what is up [01:42] yes, rms is a great source of knowledge [01:42] and toejam [01:43] bull9408, you still here [01:43] Hello everyone [01:43] I been using Ubuntu since 8.04 and I was so happy to upgrade to 11.04, but after that is been just problems, I ....(lol, just had a weird behavior with empathy). Every time I use LibreOffice, my netbook with totally freeze (Not even able to change to a tti), and like five other bugs. Well after saying it, I dont know if I should go back to 10.10 or just wait (and stop using libreoffice :p) [01:43] ngc604, yes [01:43] Eyes_Only: my apologies sir [01:43] bull9408, have you seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1408506 looks promising [01:44] Mark_Shuttlecock: im just not terribly familiar with openbox is all, i been using crunchbang as of late. ive got an arch box with gnome which i hardly ever use [01:44] Paolo_CT: did you reinstall libreoffice? [01:44] ngc604, I'm going to try that backports solution now, I'll let you know [01:44] Eyes_Only: oh hai fellow archer [01:44] Paolo_CT: try starting libreoffice from the terminal, and see if doing Control+c will kill the process [01:44] fogobogo: :D greetings fine sir [01:45] :D [01:45] bull9408, there is also the option in post #5 that you can try [01:45] lol arch [01:45] ubuntu is way simpler [01:45] arch talk goes elsewhere, this is an ubuntu support channel [01:45] * psusi was having fun today running emacs in daemon mode on his server today and being able to disconnect and reconnect later to his open files, shells, and irc sessions running under emacs ;) [01:45] have anybody tried analyzing apache2 coredumps before? i need some help figuring out what im seeing [01:46] ngc604, it said it couldn't find the package when I tried backports solution [01:46] vorlov: you might consider the apache channel [01:46] psusi: then why run linux at all :V [01:46] tepster: No, I just upgrade saturday, and been way to busy (The main reason I was unhappy with libreoffice was that It frozze will writting my tesis <,/ lost like an hour), I will try reinstalling [01:46] psusi: wow, sounds like something you could do with tmux or screen [01:46] Given that, unless I misunderstood your statement, I can do the same damn thing with ssh and screen :p [01:46] * Wvm is a racoon and uses coonbuntu [01:46] you could just skip that extra step of using emacs [01:46] can someone help me with my 11.04 keeps locking up [01:46] fogobogo: we could so totally start a flame war, but lets not [01:46] ngc604, actually do I need to replace the 'uname -r' with something? [01:47] now to fix black screen [01:47] This is weird, second time that happened (In empathy) will I write, and the line end, I cannot keep writting, and had to resize window to continue [01:47] Eyes_Only: way too easy :D [01:47] sudokode, screen lets you run multiple shells and disconnect... but not also edit files, get on irc, read info pages, and be able to copy/paste between them [01:47] I dont know if there is a lot of people having bugs, or might that be with my computer [01:47] Hey, I'm unable to adjust my brightness in 11.04. Is there a brightness application? Using a toshiba A103 laptop, never been able to adjust using the function keys. [01:47] hey guys, is there any way to remove/hide a program from the natty side-launcher? i don't exactly need background stuff like mail-notifier showing up there [01:47] * ZekeS opens vim in one screen, weechat in a second, etc et etc [01:48] I have a Samsung Netbok [01:48] flodine pls expand on "locking up" how, what is ur machine/u doing? [01:48] psusi: it does if you use vim/nano, weechat/irssi, whatever you read info pages with, etc [01:48] omfg [01:48] anyone aving consistent X lockups (but restartable) with Intel on natty? [01:48] sudokode, they don't share a common kill ring to copy/paste between, and you can't see what channels people have spoken to you in while you are looking at your info page or vim [01:49] ngc604, I installed aumix, but now I can't get it to run, it says. "error opening mixer: No such file or directory" [01:49] trevorpace: it's under Screensaver iirc [01:49] trevorpace: err, wait, power management [01:49] sounds like bloat [01:49] bull9408, are you on 11.04 [01:49] I upgraded to Natty, now the computer freezes at startup unless I use a session of type "Ubuntu safe mode". Which log should I look into to diagnose the issue? The freeze occurs both on Unity and on KDE, my default desktop. [01:49] ngc604, yes [01:49] lol [01:49] sudokode, if I'm editing a file in the top half of the screen while browsing the info page in the bottom half, I still see the channel name pop up in the info bar if someone speaks to me on irc [01:49] tensorpudding: Thanks, not exactly ideal but it works. [01:50] Paolo_CT: unity is rather buggy i'm finding [01:50] Other thing, I cant change between windows with ALT+TAB anymore, is there a way to change that to work again= [01:50] eje211: does ubuntu classic work? [01:50] Could someone with Natty check their login screen in control center and see if it offers unity as a choice rather than ubuntu? [01:50] sounds like an easily remedied problem with a weechat script [01:50] Paolo_CT: check under shortcuts in the control center [01:50] I may look into that actually [01:51] give me something to do [01:51] w30: not in there [01:51] sudokode: weechat! <3 [01:51] w30: is this instead of, or in addition to, unity? [01:51] :D [01:51] sudokode, then there's the common kill ring, which is quite handy for copying and pasting back and forth.. also iirc, screen doesn't give you scrollback buffers [01:51] w30: err, ubuntu [01:51] Is there a quick way to make the XFCE4.8 menu similar to the fluxbox menu, in terms of the multiple sublevels [01:51] tepster: Oh, that is kinda good (Because is not just me), in the unity search thingy if I try to use tild ( example. ó) I will get ´o [01:51] o_O [01:51] tensorpudding: I'm not sure. I think I tried it and it didn't. I know KDE fails, even after I disabled compiz, so compiz is not the issue. I have direct rendering. [01:52] tepster: And I cant get a tild with any other combination [01:52] my desktop is locked up right now and its letting me typ only in xchat [01:52] i cant move nothing [01:52] eje211: don't suppose you installed gnome 3 from a ppa or anything? [01:52] tepster: Im really thinking of going back to 10.10, but I kinda like unity as a concept [01:52] :( [01:52] i tried both drivers [01:52] tensorpudding, I can't get unity as default, I have to restart window manager after I log in [01:52] bull9408, is the volume on the mic up at 100% [01:52] flodine: i used to get that bug once in a while [01:52] This is the first time I've used Gnome at all. So far I've been faithful to KDE. So no. [01:52] Paolo_CT: I found that upgrading causes more bugs. When i do a new install, it was much more better [01:52] flodine: does the windows key still bring up the launcher? [01:53] ngc604, yes [01:53] tensorpudding, I have two ubuntu choices, actually 3 [01:53] eje211: it could be a bad mixing with kde and unity, but i doubt it === guest is now known as cpatrick008 [01:53] Paolo_CT: If you plan on going back, you might as well try a fresh install of 11.04 first === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [01:53] 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. [01:54] bull9408, maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1651779 post #6. just make sure to back up files before you edit them [01:54] eje211: maybe /var/log/dmesg [01:54] eje211: if it's a problem with drivers [01:54] tensorpudding: I looked, but found no error. [01:54] tensorpudding: Nothing obvious, at least. [01:55] tepster: Wow, this is annoying, empathy is not working right with my netbook resolution. [01:55] You have a good point, will try with a fresh install [01:55] eje211: i don't know then, it's not likely to have been logged in another log [01:56] 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] bull9408, what does lspci | grep Audio get you? [01:57] magn3ts: given that it requires different versions of important libraries to be installed, you probably can't do it [01:57] ngc604, |spci| ? [01:57] tensorpudding: could this be it, it looks innocent enough: svc: failed to register lockdv1 RPC service (errno 97) [01:58] eje211: i think that's related to nfs? [01:58] upgraded my son's lenovo S12 from 10.10 to 11.04 no gmd just boots to background image and I can clt-alt-t a terminal. Can I redo the upgrade? [01:58] unity is messed up when I turn on wobbly windows in ccsm [01:58] hey dios_mio [01:58] hey toph! [01:58] eje211: don't know why that would cause your problem [01:59] bull9408, type lspci | grep Audio in terminal and paste the results [01:59] dios_mio, it did the same thing for me. I think i ran reset --unity in the terminal [01:59] thanks bull [02:00] ngc604, I thought that was a |spci| not lspci. [02:00] 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] mtelesha: what's gmd? [02:00] tensorpudding: I'll continue investigating. Thanks. [02:01] ngc604, lspci | grep audio gave no results [02:01] and I don't have a mic to plug in to the 3.5 input [02:01] bull9408, do you have sound comming from the speakers? [02:01] ngc604, yes [02:01] bull9408: lspci = ls pci = lst pci [02:02] bull9408: list pci* [02:02] mtelesha: is this on ubuntu or ubuntu classic session? [02:02] Eyes_Only, i gotcha, I just read it as (pipe) spci (pipe) instead of an L at the beginning [02:03] bull9408: i always liked bash, it makes more sense to me :D [02:03] yea, bash is what I always used. [02:03] i've been on mac for a while though [02:03] gmd = gnome login manager where you type in your name and password [02:03] my memory is a tad foggy [02:03] Hi, how to find out which boot manager was used during booting? [02:03] mtelesha: oh, gdm [02:03] mtelesha: it doesn't show up? [02:03] mtelesha: gdm*** [02:03] unity is retarded... no offense [02:04] i take offense :p [02:04] bull9408, also, under alsamixer press f4 and make sure the input is internal mic [02:04] dios_mio: not really.. just takes som getting used to. [02:04] :P [02:04] dios_mio: watch the language, also take it elsewhere [02:04] tensorpudding: what language? :/ [02:05] ngc604, it is [02:05] 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] How can I fix this? [02:06] bull9408, try switching it to front mic then back to internal [02:06] I did [02:08] 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? [02:09] i was looking forward to seeing the new interface after the big stink everyone has made about it. [02:09] it's possible that it won't load in the default installer session [02:09] I understand that the blue triangle in the upper right corner means an application wants my attention, but how do I know which application? (E.g. If I've come back to my computer an hour after the app asked for the attention) [02:09] andrygraybeal_: unity loads on my hp netbook (intel card) but not on my desktop too (nvidia card) [02:10] Cerda, i got nvidia on my lenovo t410 === iflema is now known as Guest10123 [02:10] andygraybeal: it has something to do with your video card [02:10] how can I fix a blinking cursor upon reboot after a fresh install? [02:10] ah so on the outs with nvidia then? i made a poor decision? === flavio is now known as Guest71831 [02:10] *pew* *pew* [02:10] nvidia should work with unity fine if you have a modern card [02:11] andygraybeal_ probably not, nvidia should be better but maybe it has something to do with the live system [02:11] tensorpudding, it's a pretty modern computer. we bought it last year, lenovo t410 [02:11] Cerda, aah okay the live system [02:11] can I use monodevelop with .NET 4 on Natty ? [02:11] cape can i use monodevelop with [02:11] thanks for helping me clear that up [02:11] Guest71831: try? [02:11] andygraybeal: i mean, it will revert to classic if it has problems with using your 3d card [02:11] I had no problem with unity using the cd [02:11] there is problems with unity and NVIDIA driver [02:12] hi, i just installed natty, and the menu bar at the top (that has network, battery info, etc.) has disappeared -- how to get it back? [02:12] tepster, okay cool.. i am sad i didn't get to see it! :( [02:12] and i have nvidia [02:12] fogobogo, i tryed, I got an error saying that .net 4 inst installed, the roadmap says that its implemented, but ubuntu version doesn't have it [02:12] tepster, how new is your machine?? [02:12] Guest71831: you'll have to check the version of mono that is included, and see if it supports .NET 4 [02:12] andygraybeal_: i'd say pretty new..like within 2 years [02:12] how do you add an icon a shortcut icon on the desktop of Natty Narwhal? [02:13] tepster, yea, mines like a year old..... awww shucks [02:13] brand new from lenovo.. not refurb or anything [02:13] is anyone around? [02:13] Does my problem have something to do with ssd partition alignment? [02:13] is this still correct for natty? http://www.taranfx.com/sync-iphone-linux [02:13] just installed natty on samsung series 9 -- working pretty well so far [02:13] I have no file named /etc/defaults/grub but the docs says grub is the default boot manager for lucid. What is wrong? [02:13] is anyone able to run the ubuntu livecds under qemu running on 11.04? it seems totally fscked for me [02:14] andygraybeal_ u probably get a nice 3d desktop with unity once you install [02:14] Is it possible to run gnome and kde side by side choosing which one to use at log in? [02:14] andygraybeal_: what kind of setup do you have? what card? [02:14] Cerda, awesome then.. i want to try it! thank you for the advice. tepster ... lemme bring up my nvidia softwaqre [02:14] how do you add an icon a shortcut icon on the desktop of Natty Narwhal? [02:15] 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. How to fix? [02:15] ok, figured out answer to my own question -> alt+f2 gnome-panel [02:15] how do you add a shortcut icon on the desktop of Natty Narwhal? [02:15] anyone install Natty to a laptop yet? [02:15] good question [02:15] tepster, NVS 3100M, 16 CUDA cores, 256MB of RAM, 64bit memory interface [02:15] yes [02:16] @LittleRed, i just installed it on samsung series 9 [02:16] Good morning, gang [02:16] how do you add a shortcut icon on the desktop of Natty Narwhal? [02:16] zenocon > did you have any video driver issues? [02:16] LittleRed: I install in a Samsung Netbook, but my experience wasnt good [02:16] what gang ? [02:16] no, worked great out of box [02:16] andygraybeal_: hmm...ya try an install, maybe an update has fixes the problem [02:16] xsinick: a bunch of desktop files are put in /usr/share/applications, just copy them to your desktop [02:16] I just installed 11.04 and now my laptop won't connect to either of my wireless access points in the house. It doesn't list either of them. [02:17] i had no install issues at all -- installed from USB stick since the laptop has no optical drive [02:17] Reinstall time, later all [02:17] good luck [02:17] brad_ for my wireless work i needed to install the aditional drivers [02:17] only issues i'm having are wrestling with compiz weirdness -- just not used to some of these changes === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [02:17] Cerda, I think the drivers for mine are already installed (ath5k for an atheros chip), but maybe I'm wrong? [02:18] I have a doubt, when I turn on the machines all the scripts from /etc/init.d/ are executed ? [02:18] zenocon: when I upgraded to 10.11 I had problems with my nvidia card... so I'm a little afraid... [02:18] nm-tool shows wlan0 and everything, it just won't show any access points. iwlist scan brings up nothing [02:19] i have had problems with the upgrades myself [02:19] anyone... is it possible to roll it back to previous version if the install hates me? [02:19] i've always had better luck backing up my data, and doing a clean install to upgrade [02:19] Can someone help me with VNC real quick? I'm trying to connect from TightVNC on windows to my ubuntu machine but keep getting the error "Server did not offer supported security type!" [02:20] zenocon: I usually do that with major upgrades too [02:21] just got this laptop today, and put natty on it. it is a sweet piece of HW: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/28/samsung-series-9-900x-laptop-review/ [02:21] Natty hasn't been out there with the masses that long has it? I know a lot of people have upgraded to it, but I'm guess I'm waiting to see a known issues doc before I try it [02:21] hi , i'm having some problem , i want to develop some application that will run Linux first and then Linux runs some my custom code and boot windows back , is it possible ? if yes , how ? [02:22] If I want some service not start from the beginning what should I you ? [02:22] ya thats pretty slick laptop [02:22] josefig: you have tyo be root to make a desktop shortcut [02:22] so thin [02:23] SSD, boots to desktop in like 15-20s [02:23] SSD is uber [02:23] 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] LittleRed: backup and do a fresh install [02:23] wish I had ssd in all my machines [02:24] me too...prices will come down soon [02:24] how do you add a shortcut icon on the desktop of Natty Narwhal? [02:24] 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] xsinick - right click -> create launcher... [02:25] josefig: is this on 11.04? [02:25] Omega: that's what I was thinking, but loading drivers is a pain... even though I'm getting good at it [02:25] I'm on 11.04 [02:25] yes [02:25] :( [02:25] LittleRed: loading drivers? [02:26] how do you add a shortcut icon on the desktop of Natty Narwhal? [02:26] Omega: I have a nvidia cardd and I had to manually upgrade the driver with the last 2 releases [02:26] xsinick: did you not read the message i sent you [02:26] xsinick: i am using 11.04 too, just right click desktop, create launcher... follow dialog [02:27] tensorpudding: yes but that does work [02:27] LittleRed: Check if the LiveCD works, also you might want to file a bug about that [02:27] 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] how do I modify the notification area in 11.04? [02:27] trism, yes it is :) [02:27] oop [02:27] oops I see it [02:28] Omega: someone had filed a bug on it already, so I didn't bother.Never tried LiveCD [02:28] 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] 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] 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] LittleRed: if the livecd works, you know that the drivers are fine [02:28] how do I modify the notification area, and panels, in 11.04? [02:28] zenocon: that is unity, and you can change the settings using compiz settings manager === wolf is now known as wolf__ [02:28] tensorpudding: thanks' [02:29] zenocon: that is window dodge, it will autohide on contact with an active window [02:29] trism, oh I see the mondgo flag manual should be the one, thank you. [02:29] how can i install the bilut-in webcam on pidgin ?? [02:29] zenocon: i thinkn it's just called launcher? [02:29] Omega: might try it this weekend. I have other machines I can use to surf to find fixes if needed [02:29] and you can change that behavior [02:29] how do I modify the panels and notification area in 11.04? [02:30] LittleRed: Good luck, friend :) [02:30] how can i install the bilut-in webcam on pidgin ?? [02:30] Omega: thanks... only way to learn these things is to have them break :-) [02:30] 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] and if you install the compiz manager, you can make the launcher do all sorts of flashy things like giggle or flash. [02:31] yea, i have ccsm installed, and messed with some things already [02:31] you should not have to go in the usr/ bin/ crap to get that stuff working [02:32] the only weird issue i had was using it with google chrome..sometimes it doesn't register that i have it open [02:32] same here @ tepster [02:32] you should not have to go in the usr/ bin/ crap to get that stuff working [02:32] haven't installed chrome on this yet. since ff4 came out, i'm happy with it [02:32] Does anyone else have a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 1000 ? [02:33] you should not have to go in the usr/ bin/ crap to get that stuff working [02:34] i think there's a broken record [02:34] will be a banned record soon enough [02:34] In 11.04, where is the panel for tray icon? [02:35] Can someone help me with VNC real quick? I'm trying to connect from TightVNC on windows to my ubuntu machine but keep getting the error "Server did not offer supported security type!" [02:35] zenocon, a window open that area will hide the bar, then you can go to the top left with your mouse or just to the left with delay loitering and it will open over the window that is incroaching n it's territory [02:35] zenocon, a window open that area will hide the bar, then you can go to the top left with your mouse or just to the left with delay loitering and it will open over the window that is incroaching n it's territory [02:35] I want to relaunch existing xchat window, but I can't. It is disappeared. [02:35] zenocon, woops.... === juju2143 is now known as DarkJuju [02:36] bigeye: not sure what you mean, but have you tried alt-tab? [02:36] in compiz -- key bindings might have something like KP7 for example, what's KP, i'm guessing short for Key Pad? what if yer on laptop -- guess have to re-bind that to something else [02:36] bigeye: try to nav through open applications [02:37] 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] zenocon: tepster: Yes, I did. Maybe xchat window goes to background after closing. so [Alt][Tab] doesn't work.. [02:37] known* [02:37] anybody have any idea how to modify the panel, add applets and such, in 11.04?? [02:38] nutsfornatty: linux is about freedom of speech [02:38] bigeye: oh you mean it's minimized? [02:38] easy [02:38] is there a way in nautilus to assign Libraries like in windows 7 ??? [02:38] if you have compiz enabled, there are lots of other plugins that can do similar. Try [02:38] bull9408, ok... what is it? haha [02:38] crap [02:38] yawn [02:38] just search for the app, run it the right click on it and check the keep in luancher [02:39] not in the launcher, I want them on the notification areal [02:39] seriously wtf [02:39] like my forcequit app, and my weather applet, and things like that, over near the clock and battery and wifi, etc. [02:39] oh, uh thats a good question [02:39] yea... cause you can't right click. [02:39] I can't add a task bar or anything either, I like to modify my panels, but now i can't. [02:40] it's rather annoying [02:40] thats why i went to classic mode [02:40] bull9408: it isn't a gnome-panel, you can't add panel applets, they need to be recoded as indicators to show up there [02:40] you fools ruined my girlfriends laptop! how hard is it to not fuck shit like this up [02:40] trism, ughh. that's really annoying. [02:40] i miss my gnome. [02:41] anthonyl: lol? [02:41] :) [02:41] bull9408: it's still there in Ubuntu Classic mode [02:41] uh what is wrong? [02:41] !language| anthony1 [02:41] anthony1: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [02:41] trism, haven't tried it yet. might later. just up-ed to 11.04 today [02:41] oh i didn't know this was a G rated channel! [02:41] anthonyl: just gimme here ip and ssh pw and i will uhm... fix it [02:41] 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. [02:42] bull9408: how did you upgrade it? [02:42] 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] trism, yea, i just saw it. [02:42] Hello [02:42] uh what is wrong? [02:42] 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] tepster: But I can't find tray bar in 11.04.. [02:42] How do I update my ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 from an iso or live usb? [02:42] hi [02:43] bull9408: did you use LiveCD? [02:43] Hey does anyone use 10.04 and have problems with webcam, compaq mini 110 is my pc [02:43] to much to say, freezes on startup [02:43] bigeye: oh. i'm not sure. im not using 11.04 at this time [02:43] LittleRed, yes. [02:43] did you add evil to the distribution when you were packaging it this time? [02:43] or just fail [02:43] <3 [02:43] bigeye: try -> gnome-panel [02:43] LittleRed, well, I used A live CD, i'm not sure if you are reffering to a specific program [02:43] just updated to natty and my panels are transparent, panel settings shows nothing about transparency... [02:43] anyway now i've got to install windows all night it's very lame [02:43] be careful if you have gnome3 or anything like that you dont want to update [02:43] dunno. i just use arch [02:44] bull9408: what kind of laptop... no liveCD was what I'm looking for... [02:44] how do i get advanced [02:44] LucyIntheSky, have you checked ccsm under the Ubuntu Unity settings>experimental>panel transperancy [02:44] anthonyl: intel gpu? [02:44] 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] Any ideas? [02:44] nvidia [02:44] hhmm [02:44] 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] 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 [02:45] its stuck on TiMidity start actually === cpatrick08 is now known as cpatrick008 [02:45] anthonyl: oh. if thats all [02:45] bull9408: I have a 64 bit Sony... [02:45] use the 173 driver if your having freezing ussues [02:45] is there a solution? [02:45] she may love me again if i fix it [02:45] anthonyl: nvidia RIVA or Vanta? [02:45] anthonyl: sure. just switch the runlevel and disable it [02:45] bull9408, I see no experimental category [02:45] when I run startx the gui starts, but its like running ubuntu with Unity removed [02:45] 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] groann [02:45] LittleRed, just download Ubuntu 11.04 for 64 bit operating system, mount the .iso to a CD, and voila. [02:46] LucyIntheSky, it should be a tab. [02:46] I'm guessing it's an nvidia Riva TNT [02:46] 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] anthonyl: timidity is just a crappy software midi card anyway [02:46] 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] it looks like I was once again wrong to blame someone else for my problems [02:46] this latest version is absolute garbage [02:46] but.. [02:46] how do we know that evolution mail isn't malware [02:46] that won't stop me from doing it again [02:46] bull9408: that makes sense with the new hard drive [02:47] is there a way I can specify which session to use with the "startx" command? [02:47] is there a TiMidity i can vent on? [02:47] LittleRed, yup, I still haven't upgraded my other systems yet though. [02:47] econdudeawesome, i thnk 7 or 8 is good [02:47] Thedemon007:thats how you make a fresh install , you can upgrade from-in ubuntu 10.10. [02:47] wtf i can scribble code with a crayon on a Denny's napkin that would run better [02:47] pattysmatty: what? [02:47] bull9408: think I'm going to try my desktop first.... I can't live without my laptop for very long [02:47] econdudeawesome: didn't you ask this yesterday? And I suggested you setup your ~/.xinitrc? What's wrong with that? [02:47] anthonyl: should be [02:48] jrib: different computer, different situation [02:48] I'm going to to take a picture of my girlfriend , find their mailing list [02:48] anthonyl: however, i suspect it to be a ubuntu packaging bug [02:48] and put.. [02:48] go to additional drivers and switch to 173, trust me its nVIDIA acting up [02:48] "This girl now hates you [02:48] econdudeawesome, nvm i thought tty [02:48] " [02:48] jrib: I set up the ~/,xinitrc just fine for that computer [02:48] econdudeawesome: ok, ignore the first question... why can't you use ~/.xinitrc? [02:48] 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] oh! [02:48] pattysmatty: all good [02:48] bull9408, sorry Guess im on xfce, do you know how I can make it normal again [02:48] 11.04 making too many people rage in chat :( [02:48] anyone understand fonts? what fontdo i need for http://www.signbank.org/swis/iswa/cat_1.html ? [02:48] how do we know evolution mail doesn't steal your email accounts etc? [02:48] jrib: not sure--my gdm disappeared (I was using it on this computer). [02:48] I don't want to do a new installation sary [02:48] LucyIntheSky, make what normal? [02:48] hey boys [02:48] econdudeawesome: so you want to use gdm? [02:49] 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] jrib: I would LOVE to use GDM :-) [02:49] As does the installer to detect that I have installed ubuntu 10.10? [02:49] econdudeawesome: what happens when you execute « sudo service gdm start »? [02:49] Paolo_CT: good to hear! [02:50] bull9408, my panels [02:50] 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] How can I get a taskbar or move the dock to the bottom and un-autohide it in 11.04? [02:50] thedemon007: the installer will detect your OSs. in case if 10.10 you have the option to upgrade [02:50] 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] LucyIntheSky, are you still running 10.10 [02:50] any1 want 2 cyber [02:50] Thedemon007: Alright, then for more information on how to upgrade [02:50] may not detect it because I have archlinux and this governs the mbr and grub [02:50] 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] who wants to cyberfuck my tight cunt? [02:50] Thedemon007: yes i does. [02:50] yeaaaaa [02:50] jrib: it starts gdm :-D [02:50] bull9408, no upgraded to natty [02:50] shcherbak, how do we know that the packages aren't corrupt [02:51] tepster: Anyway, now I will install, Im running it in test mode [02:51] AliciaTheBunnyRa: Wrong channel? [02:51] Paolo_CT: Hmm..I havent tried that..i'm not on ubuntu right now [02:51] !upgrade | Thedemon007 [02:51] 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] this release is a waste of time [02:51] LucyIntheSky, what exactly is wrong with the panels? [02:51] jrib: how do I ensure this works the next time I reboot? [02:51] k shcherbak thanks for ruining the mood [02:51] they are both transparent even though I told it not to touch my config [02:51] Ubuntu I'm very dissapointed [02:51] econdudeawesome: did gdm ever start? [02:51] jrib: yes [02:51] sparrW: you can disable launcher hiding in compizconfig-settings-manager under the unity plugin, you probably can't move it easily [02:51] tepster: I will go ask in ubuntu-es about the tild bug [02:51] 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] dagon: why= [02:51] 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] econdudeawesome: do you have any idea what changed when it stopped starting? [02:52] LucyIntheSky, it kinda $*(@)%) me off... [02:52] 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] 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] bull9408, im on xfce not gnome. [02:52] i think that when they bumped Gnome3 they shouldnt have, they should have worked it so you could load either one [02:52] tepster, zenocon: It works! Thanks :) [02:52] you can boot into classic ubuntu (login screen -> look at lower menu -> change "ubuntu" to "classic ubuntu" -> login) [02:53] econdudeawesome: so kdm starts now? [02:53] 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] LucyIntheSky... hmm... I'm not sure what the terminal command is for that, sorry [02:53] if you believe unity to be flawed, dont use it and instead boot to classic (and enjoy your panels etc) [02:53] jrib: I removed kdm and kdebase-bin, figuring it would give me the option to choose gdm (also purged the two packages) [02:53] shcherbak, cool that makes me feel better [02:53] jrib: I haven [02:53] xfce4 is pretty good these days... [02:53] jrib: I haven't used KDE in months, and figured it wouldn't hurt to remove (though I typically do so in synaptic) === pattysmatty is now known as thebestdamncomps [02:54] econdudeawesome: so what happens now when you boot? [02:54] learn me how to get advanced features for my compiz [02:54] 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 === thebestdamncomps is now known as ingenious_motive [02:54] dagon im looking to do the same thing [02:54] what sort of advance features are you looking for [02:54] tom11: view the differences and decide [02:54] 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) [02:55] bah why would they take that out [02:55] rediculas [02:55] jrib: but beginning the gdm service allowed me to log in as normal [02:55] 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] and this unity thing should be called headache === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [02:55] jrib: should I reboot and see if hte issue is fixed? === orion_ is now known as Guest34620 [02:56] I hope for the love of god Ubuntu is not selling out [02:56] econdudeawesome: sure, you may want to check /etc/X11/default-display-manager first though [02:56] dagon: install ccsm [02:56] jrib: is this a file or a folder? [02:56] it is installed [02:56] tepster, [02:56] dagon: what makes you think that? [02:56] econdudeawesome: file [02:56] can't you access the features? [02:57] why the heck is it gone [02:57] 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] jrib: done. Changed to GDM. I'll restart and see what happens--I may be back. Thanks much for your expert advice [02:57] jrib: sorry i'm not sure how to interpret the differences...http://paste.ubuntu.com/603070/ [02:58] tom11: go with the new version, the only significant change is that an option seems to have been renamed [02:58] 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] digging the move, resize, snap compiz plugins. so much more efficient that mac os [02:59] tom11: and it's commented anyway :) [02:59] jrib: ha okay thanks for your help [03:00] jrib: when i went from 9.10 to 10.04 to 10.10 i royally messed up grub so just a little skiddish this time [03:00] last time i tried cube rotate, it went berzerk-o. scared to try it again, but i want that [03:00] is there a way to get more plugins for compiz? [03:00] jrib: success. Thanks man [03:00] anyone know how to get adavanced or is it totally gone [03:00] i want to make my windows have that glow around the [03:00] ouside [03:01] glow? [03:01] eiriksvin: PPA (some extra stuff, grid etc.) [03:01] i think there is one that lights your window on fire [03:01] 'how? [03:02] eiriksvin: You need to look for "extra compiz plugins ubuntu", PPA have instuctions how to add repos and what to install. [03:02] !ppa > eiriksvin [03:02] eiriksvin, please see my private message [03:02] thanx [03:03] Any good programs for Ubuntu [03:03] how can I check if SSH is active and listening?

[03:06] LAcan: most likely, sudo srvice ssh restart === cpatrick08 is now known as cpatrick008 [03:06] !gnome3 | xiaoji [03:06] 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. [03:07] i feel like an 85 year old granma that needs big buttons for everything when using the latest ubuntu [03:07] shcherbak, i get 'unknown service: ssh' [03:08] 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? [03:08] shcherbak, sorry "ssh: unrecognized service" [03:08] Fireblasto, right click the panel, properties [03:08] LAcan: try: cat /etc/ssh/sshd.config , if it do not exist install openssh-server === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [03:08] Thanks very much.you mean that in recently days,I'd matter not install the gnome3?but unity is not fit my habits [03:09] oooohhh openssh-server i dont think is installed [03:09] next time time the updates to not interfere with finals! -----my girlfriend says this.

[03:09] * cheapie is accepring support requests [03:09] what moron came up with that interface [03:09] LAcan, I've tried the original method of how you would sort the panel positions, but when I right click the panel, there is no menu popping up. I'm using the new unity interface. [03:10] need some help with wifi problems on Dell Inspiron 1501 [03:10] Fireblasto: That is not yet implemented in Unity. [03:10] I have 2 things I need help with. First, my system has been rather unstable after the 11.04 update and crashes (screen freeze with a blinking Caps Lock light). Any ideas on how to troubble shoot that or file a bug report> [03:10] todd2: What's wrong? [03:10] xiaoji, wait till it's out of the experimental stage [03:10] cheapie: upgraded and now my wifi is turned "off" [03:11] Thanks all, TTFN [03:11] todd2: As in you can't turn it on at all? [03:11] cheapie, well that just sucks then, I'm really digging the new interface but certain aspects are really letting me down. [03:11] we suppose to move forward and this latest update seems to take us back to the 80's [03:11] Hey can I get some help hacking the bios of a Dell latitude 2110 so I change the boot sequence [03:11] cheapie: no, try running some code last night to "activate STA", but didn't work [03:11] Fireblasto: Unity is under heavy development.

Haven't done it in a long while [03:12] i'm just venting, cause we can do better [03:12] QuikNik: Grub2 uses grub.cfg [03:13] neon___: You *really* do not have to use it, but some people spent time on it, so...

[03:15] I like the launchbar thing actually, neon___ [03:15] shcherbak, see above [03:15] em.. gnome3 deb package [03:15] shcherbak, i cant get VNC to work :( [03:16] todd2: OK. Try running 'lspci | grep wireless' and see if that returns anything. [03:16] a lot of people love unity [03:16] 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] 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] slow compared to the onboard wifi. :( [03:16] cheapie: did not return anything [03:16] doc-saintly :) If you are using a IRC client though, the up and down arrows actually select the lines that you already posted. Additionally, you can use the page up and page down keys for greater distances [03:16] hi, im trying to update from 10.10 to 11.04 booting from live usb, but it doesnt show the update option [03:17] Jordan_U: Great, thank you! [03:17] todd2: Do you know what chip your wireless card/stick/whatever uses? [03:17] QuikNik: You're welcome. [03:17] LAcan: ssh and vnc are two different services, they can be connected (somehow), vnc have some compatibilities win M$, but not every version. [03:18] PatoVW: There is no upgrade option on the live install media. Just use update manager in your booted 10.10 system. [03:18] helo, i need your help please [03:18] AlexGer: don't ask to ask; just ask [03:18] shcherbak, ya looking thru the ubuntu wiki here it says u have to have SSH tunnel first, which i have and is working... [03:18] into the live cd interface.. you will find a program to upgrade [03:18] cheapie: can't tell you what chip, but it's a Broadcom STA driver for Broadcom 4311 [03:18] sudo do-release-upgrade says 'No new release found'... I've done apt-get update but still not working [03:18] how do i take screen video with ubuntu?

Can you run lsmod and upload that to pastebin? [03:19] ok, but is there a way to use the download cd to update or I just have to do it from internet [03:19] todd2: cheapie sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer [03:19] I asked immediately, rather than asking to ask, and it just feels like I'm getting ignored. *shrugs* [03:19] [!]Install the base System [03:19] LAcan: Hm, with vnc i cannot be much of help. [03:19] No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources. [03:19] shcherbak, ok thanks for the help with SSH [03:19] You may try to continue without a kernel, and manually install your own kernel Later. [03:19] edbian: did that last night... nada [03:19] Aren: You're not being ignored. If nobody knows the answer then nobody will answer you. [03:20] todd2: cheapie Did you have a plan of action? [03:20] Jordan_U: i do what it says in the guide but it's not upgrading [03:20] This is only recommended for experts, otherwise you will likely end up with a machine that doesn#t boot. [03:20] Continue without installing a kernel? [03:20] that's my problem [03:20] wow~,so many people.. i cant glimpse the latest speake [03:20] :-9 [03:21] hello i have a advanced question about the live cd's can some one help?

[03:21] Zombiedeadshot locate *.deb [03:22] eiriksvin: Best bet would be recordmydesktop (with the gtk-recordmydesktop front-end). [03:22] todd2: OK, yeah, try 'sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-common' [03:22] uRock: locate *.deb or /var/cache/apt/ [03:22] how do i go abaout getting that?

[03:22] im tired of configueing my crunchbang installzation so i want to know a way i can take the live cd and edit the files so when you boot iit up or install it it will have the required customisations [03:22] AlexGer: "Zentyal" is not a supported derivitive of Ubuntu. You'll have to get support from them.

[03:26] RxDx: I don't think one exists yet. A search turned up nothing. [03:26] sweet getting it now [03:27] i guess what im asking is how can i edit filesystem.squashfs to customize some configueation files within a live cd? [03:27] eiriksvin / it is.

[03:45] Sorry, decided to move this from #lubuntu - I just installed lubuntu and it detected my network during install, updated things, installed the restricted things, etc... Then upon first boot DNS didn't work until I added my own nameservers in the system tray tool. (DHCP Addresses only) Then upon next boot I could only access my local network, but adding the proper gateway, switching to static IP, all don't work [03:45] #ubuntu.ve [03:45] antonio_: /join #ubuntu-ve === d is now known as Guest21677 [03:46] gracias [03:46] de nada [03:50] hello～～～～lieying [03:50] hello xiaoji === andy_ is now known as andygraybeal_ [03:51] yay, i have unity :) [03:51] just needed to isntall proprietary nvidia drivers and it works! [03:51] andygraybeal_: :D [03:52] :) i wasn't sure it was gonna work! but it does! i am happy. [03:52] congratulation to you [03:52] is there a good guide on optimizing GNOME for VNC (ie. make it faster?) [03:52] i guess the live cd couldnt detect it hey? [03:52] !vnc [03:52] 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] 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!! [03:53] LAcan: see ubottus thing [03:53] did ubuntu 11.04 changed drastically? it now seems the netbook version [03:53] !unity | afeijo [03:53] afeijo: 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 [03:54] Anyone know how to remove launchers from the panel in Gnome3 fallback mode? [03:54] mickster04, ya i saw that for setting up my VNC over SSH.. now i just want it to be more responsive [03:56] Edgan: ADD MORE LAUNCHERS. Start crying. I had the same thing. :\ [03:56] on 11.04.. the side menu bar is stuck open.. how do i close it? [03:56] so, im running lubuntu (lxde) cant seem to get emesene to work.. im on 11.04 now when i was 10.10 i could run it clean [03:57] Edgan: My solution? I ignored it and slowly making a switch to different environment. [03:57] red2kic: I know the nuclear option of how to get rid of them. [03:57] Edgan: Remove Gnome3? [03:58] red2kic: remove your user dconf file [03:58] red2kic: ~/.config/dconf/user [03:58] is there any fix for desktop wall edge flipping in 11.04? [03:59] multipass_: Probably not if you don't say what's wrong with it [03:59] red2kic: They must have been smoking something the day they made dconf binary format. [03:59] in synpatic package manager i marked some residual not installes s/w for complete removal but after marking these for removal where from where i apply changes as the apply buttin is freezes? [04:00] Edgan: I get the same feeling when Vista first came out. (So I made the switch to linux). And now Gnome3 is doing this! :( [04:00] red2kic: I have considered switching environments. [04:00] red2kic: They did the same shit, though not this bad, with Gnome2. [04:00] 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] Edgan: Language. It's the policy here. .__. [04:01] red2kic: :P [04:01] red2kic: they'll get it worked out.. do you remember when the transition from kde3 to 4 was made?... it was way rougher [04:01] soreau, it seems that if u have a window in focus, then it flips, but if not then nothing happens [04:01] I just upgraded to the new version of ubuntu and now when I loggin my scroll lock key blinks and everything locks up, I hear this is a kernal panic, how do I resolve this? === davis is now known as Guest71878 [04:01] any solution to my problem? [04:01] multipass_: Join the crowd. They really totally screwed up compiz and this whole 11.04 release [04:01] Edgan: I love Gnome2. Now I'm using AwesomeWM. I need more time to absorb shortcuts. [04:01] soreau, yay. [04:01] KM0201: I haven't tried KDE4. [04:02] multipass_: If you feel like getting ignored, file a bug [04:02] in synpatic package manager i marked some residual not installes s/w for complete removal but after marking these for removal where from where i apply changes as the apply buttin is freezes? [04:02] i don't know what the big deal was on the ubuntu list.. this isn't much different than it was before! i thought it'd be totally different from the whining on the list! [04:02] 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 [04:02] red2kic: well, now its fine.. (if you like kDE, i personally hate it) but when it first came out, it was a mess. [04:02] KM0201: Gnome2 was hitting all the notes for me. Now it's singing off-key. :\ [04:02] red2kic: your best bet, if you're that unhappy with gnome3/unity.. is to switch to xfce/lxde.. . [04:02] red2kic: Sadly it takes them years to get it right. When they do, they are bored, so they start over. :\ === dimmortal1 is now known as dimmortal [04:03] Edgan: lol, i don't know about a few years, but probably a year is fair [04:03] !attitude > soreau [04:03] soreau, please see my private message [04:03] Omega: Whatever. [04:03] lxde is fantastic [04:03] Edgan: If it isn't broken, don't try to fix it. Also, it seems like everybody is always trying to reinvent the wheel and call it the new thing. [04:04] took a sec to get used to [04:04] * KM0201 agrees with quint [04:04] I'm just telling it like it really is [04:04] I've not tried lxde, but xfce is very gnome2-like if that's the experience you're looking for. [04:04] red2kic: Not invented here syndrome. [04:04] hi [04:04] If you don't want to be helpful, feel free to leave. [04:05] If you don't want to see a real attitude, feel free to shut up. [04:05] 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] 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] KM0201: Are you on Gnome3 right now? [04:05] red2kic: no, but i tested it pretty extensively w/ fedora [04:06] KM0201: You can't change the background with traditional right-click --> Background. They took away many things. [04:06] gtech: Typically a kernel panic is caused by a faulty kernel module [04:07] what is this kernel panic you speak of? [04:07] gtech: Which graphics card do you have? [04:07] my bluetooth adapter (internal, laptop, GE620) is not automatically recognized. how do i probe for it? [04:07] gtech: If things aren't working, you can reboot and hold SHIFT to select older kernel. [04:07] red2kic: i'm aware of that. [04:07] quint: It's basically a lockup where your keyboard LEDs start blinking [04:07] its still light years better than windows and no apple tax like a mac, no real room for unity complaints [04:07] soreau: gtx 260 [04:07] red2kic: I think that was nautilus, which can be brought back [04:08] gtech: Is that an nvidia model? [04:08] red2kic: I'll try that again, last time I did it just hung on the loading screen [04:08] soreau: yeah [04:08] red2kic: you need gnome-tweak-tool, and then set file manager | have file manager handle the desktop | on [04:08] pcmanfm is the wayy [04:08] gtech: Can you boot into recovery mode ok? [04:09] red2kic: then run nautilus. I just tried it, it let me change my background. [04:09] soreau: yeah [04:09] Is this the appropriate loction to ask for Ubuntu support? [04:09] yes [04:09] Edgan: I like gconf-editor better. I'm just going to walk away from this cesspool. :) [04:10] red2kic: gconf-editor = dconf-editor now [04:10] soreau: what should I do once there? [04:10] awesomestman: Yes. Welcome to #ubuntu [04:10] what do i need to access a windows network from ubuntu ? === tomer is now known as Guest38311 [04:10] Thanks.

[04:10] say now, how do i go about installing the java environment and icedtea ? [04:10] chaospsyX: samba, although ubuntu should see them out of the box iirc [04:10] (forgot how) [04:11] awesomestman: If you have a question, plop it away. Somebody who know the answer are likely to respond. [04:11] !java | quint [04:11] 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] quint, enable partner repo [04:11] thanks ! :) [04:11] 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] 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 [04:12] quint: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [04:13] soreau: cool, I'll try it [04:13] gtech: Also remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it exists [04:13] Software Center is back in Ubuntu 11.04? [04:13] LOL [04:14] omg [04:14] ? [04:14] red2kic: well of course it is, why wouldn't it be? [04:14] awesomestman: use apt-get :D [04:14] red2kic: I don't think it ever went away [04:14] awesomestman: Close it. Use a terminal or synpatic when it comes to install packages. [04:14] Software Center is back in Ubuntu 11.04? <---- LOL [04:14] disregard apt-get, use aptitude [04:14] chaospsyX: It's not that funny, really [04:14] * KM0201 sighs.. [04:14] :) [04:14] Hello. I can't read original DVD's. Looks like its a region issue. How can I fix it? [04:14] chaospsyX: Somebody trustworthy told me that. :| [04:14] faryshta: have you installed libdvdcss? [04:14] ! dvd | faryshta [04:14] 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 [04:15] KM0201, yes, I can read pirates and downloaded dvd's. I can't read original DVD's region 4. [04:15] soreau: which log files would I attempt to look at to see what is happening? [04:15] Then again, this is Internet. I shouldn't trust anyone.

[04:15] awesomestman: Open a terminal (under Accessories) -- Type "aptitude search firefox" -- You get the idea. [04:15] red2kic: :-P [04:16] awesomestman: Want to install firefox? "sudo aptitude install firefox" [04:16] gtech: Probably /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages [04:16] soreau, KM0201, I have libdvdread4 and libdvdcss installed. [04:16] red2kic: Hey, watch your aptitude buddy [04:16] ;) [04:17] faryshta: ther's also instructinos on that site on how to deal w/ region issues [04:17] red2kic: thanks.

[04:18] awesomestman: you can look at http://ubuntuguide.org/ it has a guide on how to install alot of things that you might need [04:19] 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] KM0201, I remember using an illegal opensource lib in my old installation. Do you know any? [04:19] faryshta: even if i did, it wouldn't be allowed to be discussed here [04:19] KM0201, its only illegal in US. Not in my country méxico. [04:20] It was done by DVD-Jon. [04:20] 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] awesomestman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide#Aptitude from the command line [04:20] faryshta: then try ubuntu-es [04:20] magpii, full reinstall, or choose gnome-classic from login window [04:20] magpii: i was in your situation a few nights ago :-( i feel for ya man, i really do [04:20] awesomestman: Number #5 [04:21] !medibuntu | faryshta [04:21] faryshta: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [04:21] none of my panels are showing on desktop, the close window, minimize an resize options are gone, so is my 3d desktop === ross is now known as Guest17232 [04:21] recently bought the verizon mobile hotspot, but everytime i connect to it with ubuntu, the connection drops every 10 sec, any suggestions? [04:21] magpii, you wish to use unity-2d then? or gnome classic [04:22] it's the verizon 4g mobile hotspot [04:22] Guest17232: Does it work ok with any other OS on the same machine? [04:23] soreau: not on the same machine, but it works with windows no problems whatsoever [04:23] anyone know how to configure vmalloc size in grub on natty? [04:23] soreau: i have another laptop with the windows OS, and it connects fine [04:24] soreau: no dice, it still locks up [04:24] i have the latest version of ubuntu (11.04) [04:24] did you do a distro upgrade ? [04:24] if your using gdm you can still choose your last gnome interface rather than unity [04:24] well [04:24] doesnt really matter if you use gdm actually [04:24] soreau: I'll try looking at the log [04:24] gtech: Did you check those log files? esp syslog? [04:24] soreau: not yet [04:24] ??? [04:24] gtech: I'm only guessing the nvidia module is the problem [04:24] 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 [04:25] magpii: LTS. (10.04). <3 [04:25] 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] magpii: log in under classic desktop [04:26] always when i opens firestartter after entering password it says "failed to open the system log , no event information will be available." please tell how to fix it? [04:26] so I use aptitude to install a package I already downloaded? [04:26] awesomestman: What are you trying to install? [04:26] ok i will try classic first, as for the mouse over, tried for the last hour and nothing. will re log and follow classic option then try 2d [04:26] * keithtoo hates unity [04:26] ^ [04:26] thanks for the help, cya soon [04:26] magpii, the unity-2d package needs to be installed [04:26] Skype. [04:27] !skype | awesomestman [04:27] awesomestman: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [04:27] * chaospsyX prepares for the inevitable mutiny within the ubuntu community as a result of 'unity' [04:27] thanks, is it bundled with package manager? [04:27] no solution? [04:27] magpii, yes [04:27] !info skype [04:27] Package skype does not exist in natty [04:28] ok thanks, will log back in shortly with any issue after reboot into classic, fingers crossed [04:28] awesomestman: You may have to enable partner repo. (Look under Software Sources). [04:28] how ironic if 'unity' resulted in the ubuntu community becoming divided, lol [04:28] chaospsyX, lets take this to the chat channel please [04:28] ok no prob [04:28] Anyone to keep track of expenses in Ubuntu? [04:29] bazhang: always when i opens firestartter after entering password it says "failed to open the system log , no event information will be available." please tell how to fix it? [04:29] ner0x, an app? [04:29] bazhang: Yeah. [04:29] jiltdil, why not try gufw instead [04:29] ner0x: https://www.mint.com/ :) [04:29] red2kic, ? [04:29] bazhang: Not that gucci knockoff AKA Linux Mint [04:30] bazhang: is gufw is in graphical [04:30] jiltdil: yes [04:30] jiltdil, yes its graphical for ufw [04:30] ner0x, like gnucash ? along those lines? [04:30] !gpg [04:30] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [04:30] bazhang:idle0ne:thanks [04:30] !pgp [04:31] /msg ubottu please [04:31] bazhang: one more question in synpatic package manager i marked some residual not installes s/w for complete removal but after marking these for removal where from where i apply changes as the apply buttin is freezes? [04:31] bazhang: Yeah, something like that. [04:31] I didn't know that Skype was going to be a problem given that it seemed okay to download. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:31] ner0x, should be a list in the package manager, or apt-cache search related-term will turn up some [04:32] ner0x: search synaptic or Software centre for "accounting" === b_ is now known as Guest77594 [04:32] jiltdil, what about from the command line? sudo apt-get remove packagename [04:32] any one konw how to use autoconf... [04:32] bazhang: he is going to get an lock error :) [04:32] study, to do what, clarify [04:33] s/an/a/ [04:33] ... [04:33] IdleOne, good point [04:33] i want to get config.h [04:33] study, instead of asking a generic question, ask what you really want [04:33] i want to study program... [04:33] jiltdil, be sure to close software center before you try that command [04:34] study, this is not the channel for that [04:34] 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] bazhang:it also gives residual in synpatic package manager [04:34] so for waht? [04:34] study, Ubuntu support [04:34] !alis | study [04:34] study: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* [04:34] jiltdil, close them all and try the command from the terminal [04:35] .....ubuntu... [04:35] awesomestman: When you enable the partner repo -- you're now aware about the choices you're making. You're now aware that you're about to install Skype (which you can't see the codes) and you're going to accept it. It's all new to you, but install it. It's fine. [04:35] study, got an ubuntu support issue? [04:35] study: what exactly is it you are trying to do? [04:35] bazhang:ok but why the apply button in package manager is frezed when i want to apply for the packages to removal [04:35] ....who are u? [04:35] why i can`t ask question here... [04:36] jiltdil, perhaps a bug? try from terminal to verify its not something else [04:36] study: we are volunteers trying to figure out how to help yoy :) [04:36] you* [04:36] a ha.. [04:36] study: We're trying to help you study something -- but what is it that you want to study? :) [04:36] autoconf is hardly an ubuntu issue study [04:36] i will try... [04:36] Oh, I see. I was just trying to make sure I could maintain parts of my social life while keeping Ubuntu as an operating system. [04:36] Hey guys, is it suggested to NOT upgrade from the last version of Ubuntu to the latest? [04:37] Thanks. [04:37] jguzikowski, no [04:37] Anyways, this is what I got in Terminal. [04:37] bazhang: sorry, i worded that terribly..should i do a clean install of the newest ubuntu or just upgrade?

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 [05:13] Erf_Neerg: I mean like sda and hda etc [05:13] awesomestan: i just installed skype on 11.04 without issue [05:13] had to enable partner repo first, but that was it [05:13] Erf_Neerg: I am trying to recover a drive with ddrescue and need to make sure I can see it first [05:13] 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] giacomo_c, yep i use it with kernal 2.6 38.5 kernal works good [05:13] mbrigdan, try doing a compiz --replace ? [05:13] u pay for skype? [05:14] i have no idea what i just did, but i got it to work i guess, haha [05:14] I understand. I'll get that taken care of tomorrow then. Will doing so affect my partition though? [05:14] ann: if you want skype credit to make calls i suppose [05:14] elijah wooshing over my head [05:14] to make calls to phones* [05:14] anyone? [05:14] !emerald | mbrigdan [05:14] 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] yes so i thought lol [05:15] y, you can buy skype credits for computer to pots, but it is free for computer<->computer [05:15] xangua, Well, it wasn't working before emerald either, so I thought I might as well try it [05:15] also, what's up with this new interface? why are they dumbing everything down so much? [05:15] I can't see tv on Hulu [05:15] downloaded flash player [05:15] 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] still blocks me [05:16] ann: what browser? [05:16] internet explorer and firefox === help is now known as Guest64315 [05:16] lyle, compiz --replace appears to be stuck on Setting Update "run_command_terminal_key", still no window decorations [05:17] Chaorain: Any files or a particular filetype? [05:17] ann it is in the ubuntu repos look thare useing synaptic [05:17] can someone help me with this usb sound device [05:17] red2kic: every filetype. [05:17] ann: let me check mine [05:17] is there a way i can just install xubuntu from the ubuntu live cd? [05:17] I know how to get in terminal [05:17] mbrigdan, oh yeah, it's not stuck, that's compiz running now. do alt+f2 and then do compiz --replace in that launcher. [05:18] hello, my usb device doesn't sound on xubuntu, but worked on regular ubunt [05:18] i am inside the program parted and i can't get back to prompt with ctrl+c or q, any ideas? [05:19] giacomo_c: download xubuntu from xubuntu.org [05:19] lyle, Still nothing, but the previous compiz --replace (in a terminal) segfaulted and died [05:19] 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] So I'll take care of going to 10.04 tomorrow. Anything I should know about that ahead of time though? [05:19] xangua, xubuntu-desktop and purexfce would be more optimal [05:19] awesomestman: Just come in when you did your part. [05:19] how do i get evolution to show in the system tray [05:20] awesomestman: Far less hiccups, that's for sure. Ubuntu 11.04 just came out maybe five days ago. [05:20] not a big deal I watch cbs,crackle [05:20] mbrigdan, can you pastebin the output from when you ran it in the terminal? [05:20] MethedMan: check the envelope, it's there [05:20] i know, but how do i install xubuntu-desktop to my hd from the live cd bazhang [05:20] I have a problem where pc shuts down when doing updates [05:21] giacomo_c, you dont [05:21] then have to reload operating system on usb flash drive [05:21] lyle, http://paste.ubuntu.com/603095/ [05:21] xangua: i do not understand what you are saying [05:21] giacomo_c, you need the alternate cd to use a s a source [05:21] elijah: just type quit to exit parted [05:21] red2kic: Gotcha. I alreay have Windows 7 running fine on a partition created with 11.04 . Will installing 10.04 affect that? [05:22] MethedMan: check the envelope...on the right corner [05:22] 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] i guess i'll just install this and then get the xubuntu-desktop [05:23] Is setting up a swap partition on a SSD a good idea? [05:23] xangua: are you saying by default it is in the system tray. i do not see an envelope on the right corner [05:23] wouldn't it result in tons of write cycles? [05:23] !purexfce | giacomo_c [05:23] 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] mbrigdan, do alt+f2 again and this time try metacity --replace [05:23] magusOTB, what size ssd [05:23] When I put use sudo -I -u myusername I get sudo: no passwd entry for myusername How can I fix that? [05:23] bazhang: 128G, but what difference does that make? [05:24] 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] magusOTB, some, for example my eeepc 4GB ssd [05:24] 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] tengo una consulta [05:24] mbrigdan, not sure, just wanted to see if they showed up under metacity [05:24] Chrisev, english here please [05:25] mbrigdan, you can go back to comiz by doing compiz --replace again [05:25] bazhang: Still, given that mine is not, is it worth having one, especially considering that the machine has 12GB of ram [05:25] MadDecent, ohai [05:25] I just upgraded to 11.04 and I'm getting kernel panic after login on my asus G51 [05:25] bazhang give me a channel [05:25] magusOTB, if you want to hibernate/suspend then sure, some swap is always a good idea [05:25] please [05:25] Chrisev, for italian? [05:25] anyone know a decent mechanism to "alt-tab" out of openGL games? [05:25] spanish [05:26] Chrisev, #ubuntu-es [05:26] bazhang: I don't need to hibernate/suspend. I don't think my motherboard supports either of them properly. [05:26] lyle, Hmm, going back gets rid of them again. Maybe I'll reinstall all the compiz packages [05:26] red2kic: Nothing yet [05:26] another question, how do i view my hdd from the live cd? [05:26] i don't remember [05:26] magusOTB, then your choice really, a small amount is what I'd do, but that's up to you [05:26] giacomo_c: Does it now show up on your desktop? [05:26] bazhang: K. thanks. [05:26] xangua: any ideas? [05:27] thanks [05:27] nope [05:27] MethedMan, by system tray you mean the top panel? [05:27] yes [05:27] MethedMan, right click add to panel [05:27] 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] bazhang: no. sorry. i mean the "notification area" [05:28] awesomestman, if it can boot from usb then that s fine [05:28] bazhang: when you run xchat or whatever it automatically docks in the "notification area" [05:28] hey all [05:28] got a question [05:28] Thanks for all your assistance. [05:28] Bane99, what'sup? [05:28] awesomestman, use the usb-creator or unetbootin to make it [05:28] never used Ubuntu before... when you log into the computer after installing does it give you the dual boot option? [05:29] i have a separate partition for it [05:29] first time i'll be using linux actually [05:29] 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] aside from my android phone :P [05:29] Bane99, is it set up properly for that? whats the other system on it [05:29] 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] Windows 7 Pro x64bit [05:29] Bane99, then installing ubuntu will do it for you [05:30] i set aside a 100GB partition for installing another oS [05:30] Bane99, did you install Ubuntu over? [05:30] Bane99, if so Grub will take care of up [05:30] i havne't installed it yet [05:30] how do i list the drives i have? [05:30] downloading the file [05:30] well the iso [05:30] sudo fdisk -l [05:30] is there any applet (like net-speed for gnome2) that shows me my network speed for Unity? [05:30] ah [05:30] RxDx, terminal based- sudo apt-get install speedometer [05:30] essentially i'm a linux noob [05:30] sorry guys =/ [05:31] Captainkrtek, ill try, thanks [05:31] Bane99, we all are at some point [05:31] Bane99, we all were once, if you need any help feel free to ask or PM me :-) welcome! [05:31] fdisk doesn't show it [05:31] lol [05:31] so after making the disk [05:31] boot from cd? [05:31] but when i go to intall ubuntu, it shows it as /dev/sda [05:31] or should i just install it from windows [05:31] Bane99, set in bios to boot from CD first [05:31] Bane99, boot from CD, select partition, install, reboot, select what you want to boot to from grub [05:31] Bane: i lurk in here to leatn stuff [05:31] the problem is, my mobo doesn't like to recognize my USB mouse [05:31] in the boot screens [05:31] Captainkrtek, he has partitioned already [05:32] i tried to install ubuntu awhile ago [05:32] Bane99, During the boot up you have to use your keyboard [05:32] bazhang, just meant for him to select it, not create it [05:32] ok [05:32] 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] install it to the free partition [05:32] Bane99, yeah [05:32] how do i knock down the color depth on gnome desktop? [05:32] then will i get the boot choice when i start the computer? [05:33] Captainkrtek, speedometer doesnt integrate with Unity =/ [05:33] sigh 50min left on the.iso download [05:33] mbrigdan, should be in Administration [05:33] what is unity? [05:33] RxDx, oh sorry didn't see unity, thought you just needed something to view speeds, sorry! [05:33] Bane99, yes you will [05:33] !unity | Bane99 [05:33] 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 === alhen is now known as alhen_hidden [05:33] Captainkrtek, np :) but do u know some that does? [05:34] RxDx, not off the top of my head, check the Ubuntu Software Center perhaps? [05:34] or the forums [05:34] ann , how you doin there [05:34] Captainkrtek, i did.. thanks anyway :) [05:34] RxDx, no problem, sorry heh [05:36] hello, why is it my ubuntu, after re starting, its not working, only flashing [05:36] bison, could you be more specific? [05:36] by the sounds of it possibly a video card issue [05:36] @bison I had the same problem, you probably need to switch to classic mode [05:37] lyle, hmm, is there a difference between the NVIDIA binary Xorg driver and the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver? [05:37] after reboot nothing happens [05:37] fatguy: im using ubuntu 10.10 [05:37] oh, nm then [05:37] bison, your video card may be broken [05:37] my problem was with 11.04 [05:38] bison, do you just see lines on the display or something of the like? [05:38] captainkrtek: nothing [05:38] how do i access places from livecd? [05:38] mbrigdan, if one of them says "experimental" then that one is nouveu, not the official nvidia driver [05:38] bison, verify connectivity of your video card and the cable, test a different monitor if possible and also try booting to a live CD [05:39] lyle, No, but the currently enable one (accelerated graphics) says recommended, so I'll just leave it [05:39] anyone know a program that will stream a webcam? (I googled and came up with nothing.) [05:39] ann shuts down issue could be related to serval things .. [05:39] mbrigdan, that's probably the best idea. did you upgrade to 11.04 or do a fresh install? [05:39] lyle, I upgraded [05:39] captainkrtek: ok rebboting to live cd [05:40] k [05:40] Hello, i want to know how to allow execution of a file which is mounted in a hard drive partition in /media [05:41] frankely, chmod +x filename.file [05:41] in /media ^ [05:41] is v11 not recommended over 10? [05:41] Bane99, 11.04 is new as of a few days ago [05:41] it doesnt work, Captainkrtek [05:41] frankely, what is the output? [05:41] or could you be more specific [05:41] nothing [05:41] what i want is that give the x permission [05:41] captainkrtek: ok, im in, using live cd [05:41] frankely, what type of file are you trying to execute [05:41] 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! [05:42] but i have tried that, and when i check the file doest no have it [05:42] bison, so video works now? [05:42] non-extesion file, is the eclipse launcher [05:42] Diverdude, i agree with u. developer wants to develop eye candies than fixing bugs [05:42] oh i'm d/l 11 [05:43] captainkrtek: i thinks so, im using it now, using live cd [05:43] Smiledon, yes. it is a shame [05:43] bison, okay so did you install some updates recently in your real installation? [05:43] really? wow i never knew copy worked that way. [05:43] captainkrtek: ya, a while ago [05:44] captainkrtek: but i can't remember what kind of update is that [05:44] 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] captainkrtek: how? [05:44] bison, hold on [05:45] Smiledon, but what is there to do [05:45] i dunno. i just live with it lol [05:45] captainkrtek: tnx [05:46] bison, okay boot up and at grub highlight your installation and hit 'e' === james is now known as jmayfield [05:46] captainkrtek: i can't see anything [05:46] 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] yeah, that'd do it [05:46] bison, before it boots to Ubuntu, at grub [05:47] sometimes i just opened gedit then paste and copy and paste again lol [05:47] bison, what size is your monitor by the way, looking up a code, *resolution size* [05:47] Diverdude: https://launchpad.net/glipper might be something for you then [05:47] 17'' [05:47] bison, k [05:48] bison, you at the grub loader? [05:48] captainkrtek: i can't see the grub loader, all black === ghost is now known as Guest56920 [05:48] 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: i already did that [05:49] bison, okay boot back up to the live cd [05:49] captainkrtek: ok booting [05:51] Aginor, it does not work in all programs [05:51] captainkrtek: ok im in, using live cd [05:51] I am having a problem where Nautilus is trying to open files instead of the correct program (.jpg, .deb, etc), can someone help me fix? [05:51] hey is there a way to have totem display the length of the current playing movie, in a script?? and if so how and how can i make the script get that in seconds and tell the computer to wait for the length of the movie in seconds [05:51] bison, navigate to your old hard drive, if not available mount it via disk utility [05:52] Diverdude: I can't say I've tried it myself :D [05:52] network not available,previously the wire network was working and i had problems with wireless.now neither is working [05:52] I have asked in #bash and they told me its not a bash issue [05:52] captainkrtek: ok [05:52] bison, in a terminal type [05:52] captainkrtek: mounted [05:52] open a terminal and navigate to that hard drive [05:52] then: gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:53] anyone know how to add/remove ufw/gufw rules for *only* ipv4 or ipv6, not both? [05:53] bison, actually once on that disk do gedit boot/grub/menu.lst [05:53] not /boot [05:54] thats not around anymore [05:54] ?

[06:17] I asked bvecause it syas this: [06:17] Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the Intel x86 images instead. [06:17] anadon: What happens when you try to boot? [06:17] http://ubuntu.virginmedia.com/releases//natty/ [06:17] gueriLLaPunK, yeah you're good to go [06:17] ok excellent. thanks again [06:18] np :-) [06:18] it throws some lines of error messages, then says there is no partition [06:18] but I can see it and access it [06:18] and I didn't play with partitions at all [06:18] anadon, find out what partition it is on, boot into ubuntu, and go to disk utility [06:19] sda1 [06:19] anadon, what'd cause it not to boot in the first place? [06:20] I don't know [06:20] it just didn't do it [06:20] anadon, well if it worked and then didn't then something must be up [06:20] Captainkrtek: sorry. after dd if=/dev/null of=/var/log/squid/top-urls-7days.log: i have a blank line still. [06:20] last time I tried 7 last week, it worked without a hitch [06:20] hale, Im not sure what you want to do [06:20] anadon, then... *poof* ? [06:21] yeah, that's what it looks like to me at my end...alas [06:21] hale, to empty all content of the file dd it, to remove it, rm it [06:21] i want to have empty file. [06:21] hale, that is empty as it gets [06:21] ok [06:21] as* === Doktor_away is now known as Doktor [06:23] bison, that fix anything? [06:24] captainkrtek: wait [06:24] captainkrtek: should i copy this to usb? [06:24] bison, what? [06:24] captainkrtek: how do ni save this [06:25] Is there anyway to go back to previous version from Natty Narwhal to 10.x? [06:25] bison, that new file, replace the contents of your cfg with it, but make a backup of your old one [06:25] ie [06:25] cp file.cfg file.cfg.backp [06:25] cp file.cfg file.cfg.backup [06:26] captainkrtek: so ill just copy and paste [06:26] yeah [06:26] but make a backup first [06:27] Where would be an appropriate location to create a directory for application data that all users can read and write to? [06:27] CoolCoder what for? [06:27] Jamescarr locally? [06:28] or a network share [06:28] Captainkrtek, locally... any user logged into the machine, the application should use that same dir for caching :) [06:28] Ola bruederz [06:28] ikonia bruder && Pici bruder [06:28] hello O-ngaWeze` [06:29] 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] 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] Captainkrtek bro hello [06:29] hello bro :P [06:29] because the apps default is .appname/cache (which can be configured to elsewhre) [06:29] says it can't find a symbol, then partion, then disk doesn't exist [06:29] I'll put it /usr/local/share I guess [06:29] anadon, don't use windows, problem solved ;-) [06:29] hi, how to map win+L to lock screen? the shortcut seems doesn't work for ubuntu 11.04, but it worked for 10.10 [06:30] One more mug of beer?

[06:30] bison, nano or gedit [06:30] yes, I tried. but it doesn't work. [06:30] anadon, hehe [06:31] captainkrtek: terminal window? [06:31] leojay, it won't let you map it? is it already taken [06:31] it worked in 10.10, but not 11.04 [06:31] .mp3's don't work, and I can't even get to the damned things!

[06:32] captainkrtek: i can't edit the file huhuhu [06:32] leojay, odd [06:32] bison, blah, let me just finish some work real quick [06:32] they do, but it's non-standard and touched up for ie8 [06:32] anadon, ahhh ie8, im cringing [06:32] and I live outside Redmond [06:32] lol [06:32] Yeah!

[06:37] hey can anyone help me with a ubuntu vps [06:37] websiteguy, I'd be glad to :-) [06:37] thanks man [06:37] captainkrtek: how can i edit the file, its a read only [06:37] i'd like help with fonts please [06:37] bison, well I honestly dont mess with grub much, I'd hate to futz it up more [06:38] salaah, if people can help you they will [06:38] i'm trying to buy one and one of the things it asks is Hostname:,NS1 Prefix:,NS2 Prefix: [06:38] what do i write there [06:38] websiteguy, ahh [06:38] Captainkrtek: k [06:38] you can't directly access those servers...which is ass backwards [06:38] tried it [06:38] websiteguy, can you take a screenshot of the fields it wants you to input just so we can be on the same page [06:38] sure [06:39] websiteguy, PM them to me [06:39] https://www.dewlance.com/client/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0 [06:39] ^ on that page it asks me === zack is now known as buhman [06:39] okay [06:39] captainkrtek: how can i change the grub .cfg [06:39] captainkrtek I am Ongavezir Da Holyness, favour of Allah:) [06:39] I have just installed ubuntu after playing with the livecd for a bit [06:39] bison: try running update-grub [06:40] thanks anadon for helping him, grub isnt my speciality [06:40] my old goodfriend ikonia bro && Pici bro :D [06:40] All the sudden it feels like I have no 2d/3d acceleration and overall performance seems much reduced [06:40] bison: also, make sure you have grub 2 [06:40] I think I was actually booting from the external harddrive than from the installed systemd [06:40] bison: should take care of it if you regularly update your system [06:40] O-ngaWeze`, well nice to meet you :-) [06:41] websiteguy, can you /query Captainkrtek [06:41] buhman: what video chip do you use? [06:41] ActionParsnip: Radeon HD4250 [06:41] ActionParsnip: radeon appeared to be running upon installation [06:41] then ubuntu suggested I install fglrx [06:41] bison: research super gurb disk--burn it and you'll be set until grub 3 comes out [06:42] since radeon performance was terrible (which is unusual for this card), I thought, meh, I guess... [06:42] You're welcome Captainkrtek bro:) [06:42] I think performance has gone down slightly after installing fglrx [06:42] ActionParnsnip bro gotta mornin'! [06:42] captainkrtek, websiteguy, were you two helping me? I got lost. [06:42] I was running debian wheezy beautifully before this (other than growing problems with borked packaging) [06:42] I hate da drupal:D [06:42] anadon, no what was your issue sorry? [06:42] 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. [06:43] crazy guy research, need windows or a hack [06:43] 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] ActionParsnip: well I do... but I fear there's no 2d acceleration [06:44] 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] ActionParsnip: this is quite unusual [06:44] ActionParsnip: but I swear that video performance is terrible [06:44] Buhman: also make sure you have full updates: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade [06:45] ActionParsnip: I had 2d acceleration on the livecd [06:45] Buh [06:45] Buhman: try a reboot, it's cliche enough to work [06:46] ActionParsnip: surprisingly, there's a bunch of new packages... all perl related it appears.. and one for apt [06:46] 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] hi, are applets gone in Natty? [06:46] captainkrtek: it didnt work, i saw a glimpse of the spash screen then gone, blank screen with light flshing of the screen [06:47] bison, press escape [06:47] captainkrtek: nothing [06:47] Gsb: log in to gnome classic and they should be fine [06:47] bison, when it splashes [06:47] ActionParsnip, no in Unity interface [06:48] ActionParsnip: is universe and metaverse not enabled during installation I gather? [06:48] Bison: what video chip do you have and is ita [06:48] It an upgrade or clean install? [06:49] ActionParsnip: clean install; haven't even gotten a chance to mount my real /home [06:49] ActionParsnip: anyway, I'll try rebooting I guess [06:49] whats the fuss all about [06:49] captainkrtek: waahhhh hehehe [06:49] Buhmam: not sure to be honest [06:49] captainkrtek: nvidea [06:49] 512 [06:50] bison, blah not sure what I can do for ya man [06:50] Gsb: to my knowledge no. I've seen loads in here asking but I don't use them so cannot say for sure [06:51] captainkrtek: can i replace my boot loader [06:51] bison, fix grub [06:51] captainkrtek: when im using the live cd, its working [06:51] Bison: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [06:51] Our companies will kick Bible' size knock against the hell of drupal! The Holy Djihad starting again! [06:51] ActionParsnip, oh, i am gonna miss 'Wanda' [06:52] ActionParsnip: hmm, it does seem a tad peppier, but I'm getting horizontal tearing when I move windows around as if 2d acceleration is still not really working [06:52] O-ngaWeze`: do you have a support question? [06:52] ActionParsnip, he can't even see the grub boot screen [06:52] ActionParsnip: is it possible to turn off compositing? [06:53] ActionParnsnip bro: I am Da Support, Da Way, Da Light! [06:53] Captainkrtek: hold SHIFT at boot [06:53] ActionParsnip: speaking of that, I don't like the little left-hand osx-esq launcher thing; can I have my gnome taskbar back? :P [06:53] ActionParsnip, bison "hold SHIFT at boot" [06:53] my internet connection is not working in ubuntu but in live cd its working [06:53] Zack: presz ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace [06:54] ActionParsnip: the 2d acceleration feels nicer now, but there's no taskbars [06:55] captainkrtek: no luck [06:55] bison, odd [06:55] Captainkrtek, i think i found a clue for the freezup! :o)))) i think its one of the startup applets/applications [06:55] 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] 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] im reading this book "beginning linux programming" and it mentions the use of the "dot" command. which makes commands in the shell execute directly in the shell process, and not in a sub process. i tried using it and i keep getting a "cannot execute binary fil" response. i tried doing ". ps" and ". /bin/ps" what am i missing? [06:56] Or1on1, ahhhh most likely [06:56] ActionParsnip: ok [06:57] captainkrtek: yes!!! i can now see the grub loader hehehe [06:57] hi, how to map win+L to lock screen? the shortcut seems doesn't work for ubuntu 11.04, but it worked for 10.10 [06:57] can someone help me real quick, how do i know if i installed raid correctly and its working? [06:57] captainkrtek: but too many options [06:58] leojay: try shortcuts in preferences [06:58] bison, okay [06:58] bison, highlight your kernel [06:58] Jack123: boot livecd and run: sudo lshw -C network to see the driver name. Back in the installed OS run: sudo modprobe -r modulename; sleep 2; sudo modprobe modulename may help [06:59] captainkrtek: 2.6.35-28-generic [06:59] sure [06:59] ActionParsnip: much better [06:59] then hit the e key [06:59] captainkrtek: 2.6.35-28-generic (recovery mode) [06:59] bison, no [06:59] the non-recovery mode [06:59] actually... [06:59] Pindropper: its: ./command note there are no spaces [06:59] captainkrtek: 2.6.35-22-generic (recovery mode) [07:00] captainkrtek: 2.6.35-22-generic [07:00] bison, just hit enter over the recovery mode [07:00] ActionParsnip: no. thats not what i am trying to do. i know what you saying. but i think you misread my question [07:00] where kind I find all the keyboard-shortcuts for ubuntu 10.10 ? [07:00] captainkrtek: black screen again\ [07:01] anyone? [07:01] chaospsyX, ths is a older gconf method. http://ubuntuguide.net/assign-custom-keyboard-shortcuts-on-ubuntu [07:01] mufasis: try typing raid and see what it says [07:02] pindropper: Maybe you are referring to sourcing a file, like a script. example: . /path/to/script [07:02] mufasis, raid is not a common set up in linux [07:02] bison, okay get back to grub them [07:02] Hello guys! I just switched my workstation from a Mac to a PC with Ubuntu 11.04 [07:02] captainkrtek: ok [07:02] hi, does anybody know how to copy and paste text from host to a sunvirtual box vm? [07:02] pindropper: You could also do, "source /path/to/script" and it would accomplish the same. [07:02] I have most stuff up and running, however i would need some help to find a few applications [07:02] mufasis, you might find help it just may take a bit.;) [07:03] first of all i want some kind of application to monitor cpu temp etc, any ideas? [07:03] chille, congrats! [07:03] rob_p: would that make it run in the same process as the shell itself, rather than a sub process? [07:03] conky [07:03] chille, conky [07:03] [07:03] conky [07:03] wow are there actually any other answers? [07:03] lol [07:03] a smattering of applause for conky [07:03] rob_p: and i thought i would work on the commands too. is it that it only works on scripts? like ". ./script" [07:03] hehe [07:03] pindropper: I think so, yes. [07:04] conky.. okay.. [07:04] captainkrtek: what will i choose now? recovery mode or the other version 2.6.35.22-generic? [07:04] conky uses the lowest system resources [07:04] hi, does anybody know how to copy and paste text from host to a sunvirtual box vm? [07:04] bison, hold on [07:04] pindropper: No. It's equivalent to sourcing. You can't source a binary in that way. [07:04] Hi. I am getting an error when trying to format a USB drive: Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot mount /dev/sdg1 at /tmp/job-mkfs-CuICaQ: No such file or directory [07:04] After this error the OS seems to disable the drive. [07:05] crowsnest, how are you formatting [07:05] rob_p: ok. i know this might be a stupid question to ask. but why not [07:05] I'm using disk utility. Trying to format it to ext4. [07:06] pindropper: Because it doesn't make sense! [07:06] crowsnest, I would use gparted it is easier, at least for me [07:06] this makes me slightly uncomfortable: http://paste.ubuntu.com/603119/ ; how might I re-enable root? [07:06] Captainkrtek, it was the cdemu deamon [07:06] I want to have a more traditional su/sudo setup (closer to how debian is setup) [07:06] Or1on1, ahh nice find :-) [07:06] pindropper: I'm not sure why you want to attempt to source a binary file. [07:06] :o) [07:06] rob_p: lol. clearly i need to read more and figure out what sourcing is. but thanks. [07:07] anyone having issues with evolution and rss feeds? [07:07] The idea that knowing the password of the restricted user allows you to elevate priveledges is a disgusting idea, I'm sorry [07:07] pindropper: Think of it like a method of importing the code in some other file, into the currently executing script. [07:07] pindropper: It's commonly done in other scripting languages like perl, php, etc. [07:08] rob_p: aah! ok. now it makes sense. [07:08] rob_p: so its like sharing the environment. [07:08] ah, sweet, conky does the job perfect === Trueman is now known as bubu [07:08] any evolution users? [07:09] rob_p: thus sharing scope. Am I right? [07:09] geekorama: if you're asking about exchange or something like that, I can't help you :P [07:09] chille, there are scripts all over the web to have it looking pretty cool [07:09] bison, okay [07:09] buhman: rss feeds, i am having issues getting em on evolution [07:09] bison, highlight the -generic on and hit the e key on your keyboard [07:09] buhman: Use Debian CUT? Heh. [07:09] captainkrtek: ok [07:10] bison, scroll down to kernel [07:10] then hit e again [07:10] pindropper: Sort of, yes. Think of multiple scripts utilizing a common data source or library. Sourcing is perfect for that. [07:10] captainkrtek: ok, hold on [07:10] rob_p: got it. thanks for clearing that up. [07:10] red2kic: that looks interesting... I just abandoned a bogged down and semi-broken apt on wheezy [07:10] pindropper: But yes, it's also commonly used to source a common environment file. [07:10] pindropper: welcome :) [07:11] buhman: Why don't you stay on *squeeze*? [07:11] captainkrtek: im here === bubu is now known as coon [07:11] ok guess nope [07:11] bye all, thank you [07:11] bison, k now at the end of the line, add: vga=771 [07:11] leave a space between the last word and vga=771 [07:11] okay next application on my wantlist list is some kind of password manager. is ther any one like keychain in os x? [07:11] chille, password manager [07:12] chille: keypass [07:12] aha.. hmm.. === coon is now known as oviparous [07:12] captainkrtek: after generic or after? [07:12] err yeah [07:12] bison, huh? what does it say [07:13] red2kic: well, I was trying to do things like installing python 2.7 system-wide, which wheezy is supposed to accomplish (eventually) [07:13] but it didn't work out well === Evil_DuDe_ is now known as Evil_DuDe [07:13] Hey, i am just upgrading my ubuntu, and a screen come up saying: A new version of conf file /etc/defoult/grub is avaliable, but the verson installed has been modyfied: what you want do? KEEP CURRENT or change ? What is this grub file? Can i upgrade it? Does it effect any security issues if i dont upgrade it? [07:14] captainkrtek: last line says " initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-28-generic [07:14] bye all [07:15] yesterday tried compiz and unity crashed [07:15] 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] gnome don't work too( [07:16] buhman: Heh. You bork the system when you have unmanaged packages. [07:16] buhman: That was the whole point of using debian, awesomestableness. [07:16] red2kic: I know; it was great until I changed repositories and did the (surprisingly) fatal safe-upgrade [07:17] does anybody know how to control brightness in ubuntu 11.04? [07:17] 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] Trueman: my hardware keys work, which is surprising considering acer-wmi is broken on all aspire one's [07:17] any issue's while updating 10.10 64 -> 11.04 64?

[07:19] red2kic: 2.6 [07:19] captainkrtek: ok [07:19] captainkrtek: then? [07:20] !wlan | lacan [07:20] LAcan, please see my private message [07:20] buhman: I see that. 2.6.6-14 [07:20] 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 [07:21] 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] and want to re-enable something more traditional [07:21] see, the live-cd worked how I wanted [07:21] and now all the sudden it changes during install [07:21] pretty deceptive I think... [07:22] I got quite a few surprises thrown at me after installing actually [07:22] 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. [07:23] buhman: You can make it like Debian -- but you just have to find out. Pretty typical in linux. <_< [07:23] bison, hit e [07:23] 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] 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 [07:24] captainkrtek: how to save? ive already added vge=771 [07:24] vga=771 [07:24] not vge [07:24] soory [07:24] buhman: Maybe you can ask in #debian on how to upgrade a singular package, python -- for your reason. [07:24] ]sorry hehehe' [07:24] bison, press enter when done [07:24] buhman: Install wheezy deb? :o [07:24] red2kic: I had wheezy... [07:25] red2kic: the problem is you can't just go from 2.6 to 2.7 that easily... [07:25] buhman: Many other packages (and GUI stuffs) broke? [07:25] 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] lots of components depend on python and you need to solve lots of dependencies making an upgrade like that [07:25] red2kic: I had it basically half-way done [07:25] hi guys I wonder : if there is a MODTracker for s3m? [07:26] nothing was broken; but apt was severely confused [07:26] I tried to have aptitude make a automagic proposal for me: it included uninstalling gnome [07:26] I think glibc was in there too in the list of packages to uninstall [07:27] I thought "hmm, I'd better jump ship before this blows up in my face" [07:27] buhman: Meh. Ask in #debian -- or try using wheezy iso. The installation went crappy on me during upgrade (from stable to testing). [07:28] Maybe this isn't the best #channel to ask such questions.... [07:28] red2kic: if this doesn't work out; that's what I'll end up doing :) [07:28] buhman: :) [07:29] red2kic: I do already miss not having the firefox branding :P [07:29] buhman: It's just a brand. A logo. [07:29] red2kic: I know [07:29] red2kic: I thought it was amusing "iceweasel" [07:29] buhman: I miss out not having latest chromium. [07:30] I wonder if I can't switch that around too [07:30] shouldn't be hard at all [07:31] vega: Upgrading always go flaky in my opinion. Also, my other opinion? Natty isn't ready. Ho ho ho. :< [07:31] captainkrtek: my disk drives are being checked for errors [07:31] bison, :D [07:31] captainkrtek: but still, no luck it went to black screen again [07:31] sigh [07:31] bison, darn [07:32] Hey, guys where can i change the login MOTD? [07:32] [07:32] xmaz: /etc/motd? (iirc). [07:33] I'm running 11.04 and the top unity menubar periodically semi-locks up (known bug http://preview.tinyurl.com/4xxbhm4). Does anyone know a way to force Unity to redraw itself? [07:33] what development environment should i take a look at? is Eclipse the most powerful choice for C/C++ and PHP? [07:33] what seems to be the problem, [07:35] i'm impressed by unity) [07:35] captainkrtek: after typing vga=771, wat is the command in saving? [07:35] bison, enter key [07:36] captainkrtek: then? [07:36] red2kic: all the sudo was confusing me; I've set the root password... [07:36] captainkrtek: vga=771 is the last line [07:36] bison, boot to kernel [07:36] bison: /boot/grub/grub.cfg (me think). There are no command to save. Just edit the file (and possibly) grub-update [07:36] red2kic, he doesnt have access to the os yet [07:36] Captainkrtek: Ah. [07:37] chille, also have a look at Netbeans, less messy ;) [07:37] 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] red2kic: and #bash told me that that's not a bash question and that I should probably go back to #ubuntu :P [07:37] dc5ala: okay [07:37] buhman: :o [07:38] captainkrtek: just a flashing screen, dark to light dark [07:38] 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] bison, im as confused as you're [07:39] buhman, what is your question [07:39] 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] ajdonnison: that's the one; thanks [07:39] buhman: What's the question? [07:39] captainkrtek: how about recovery mode [07:39] bison, try it [07:40] style question: how do I remove the padding from the taskbar buttons in the top-right? [07:41] hi all [07:42] someone know how to don't run the gnome-panel in ubunut-classic ? [07:42] aLeSD: You don't want any panel at all? [07:42] 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" [07:43] buhman, yes, you need to re-login. [07:43] ajdonnison: I appreciate it [07:43] The /etc/group file is only read at login. [07:44] 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] aLeSD, think you have to rename the binary of it, used that once when i tried fancy dock like panel [07:45] can I disable some of these effects in 11.04 with unity? all special desktop effects [07:45] I can't find where to do that [07:45] jozefk: see? nobody likes unity [07:45] soreau: yes .. I am replacing everything with awn [07:45] i don't like it either [07:46] but I want to disable the effects [07:46] jozefk, have a look at compiz-config-manager [07:46] can I? [07:46] jozefk: I switched to gnome-classic [07:46] 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] can I start that from terminal? [07:46] 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] jozefk: you can log out and then switch in gdm3 [07:46] steve1: I think it's just it's a bad idea gone wrong, plain and simple [07:47] 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] aLeSD, yes that's the one i tried once too (AWN), just renamed gnome-panel [07:47] steve1: Time-based releases -- It's the tradition. :) [07:47] how to start compiz config manager [07:47] from terminal it does not work [07:47] jozefk: Run ccsm from your terminal [07:48] ! work | jozefk [07:48] 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] steve1: I imagine you will get updates to square out bugs, a month or two. [07:48] ccsm is not installed [07:48] 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] 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] where do I get those effects without compiz then? [07:48] !minimal | mithran [07:48] 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 [07:49] jozefk: what effects? [07:49] jozefk: aptitude install ccsm? [07:49] jozefk, install compizconfig-settings-manager [07:49] 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] I have compiz but can't do anything with it if I don't install first ccsm [07:49] :P [07:49] buhman: how are you liking Gnome3? that's the new one, right? [07:49] that sucks [07:50] jozefk: What is the problem with installing ccsm? [07:50] steve1: umm, i think this is still 2.32 or something [07:50] it should be already there [07:50] steve1: roger that ^ [07:50] jozefk: No, it shouldn't [07:50] buhman: oh, I thought you said you were on 3. my bad. :) [07:50] steve1: I hate it. Added a launcher in fallback gnome mode. Can't delete it. I'm forced to nuke dconf fil. [07:50] steve1: gdm3 [07:50] jozefk, well that is a very advanced config program ;) [07:50] steve1: the login manager thingy [07:50] jozefk: ccsm is technically a developer tool [07:51] ok I run it now [07:51] can someone explain to me why i cant get an .exe to open in wine? [07:51] glacia: what's the output? [07:51] glacia: What is the software? Screensaver.exe ? [07:51] glacia: my guess is that you might need to install vc runtimes [07:51] glacia: Perhaps you need to make it executable first? [07:51] soreau: not neccessary with wine [07:52] can someone help me with running ubuntu live on a usb, i already have grub and puppy running on it [07:52] if I disable Animations, Window Decoration and Fading Windows, I have no more icons in panel lol [07:52] its a trainer for a game... basically editting roms [07:52] I believe this will work better now [07:52] but without icons what will I do ? :)) [07:52] glacia: and what's the output when you do "wine game.exe"? [07:53] alphamale: just install ubuntu as you normally would but select manual partitioning and select the usb stick node from gparted [07:53] i dont want to partition [07:53] 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] buhman, i dont understand what you mean by output? [07:53] hello [07:53] and where do i perform the install from [07:53] in gnome, how do i change the number of lines or otherwise alter the speed of mouse wheel scrolling? [07:53] maybe reboot and see what happens :) most probably it won't even start anymore :) [07:53] is re [07:53] i can mount the ubuntu iso in puppy [07:53] but then what [07:53] 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 [07:54] let's see [07:54] glacia: generally, when you run wine, it prints stuff to stdout [07:54] 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] 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] china ??? [07:54] well when i tell wine to open it, it just sits there thinking and then stop [07:54] no pop ups or anything [07:55] FHtrain, I dont think you can get to wubi at all unless you boot from it. [07:55] buhman: /etc/group thing worked? [07:55] my English is bad [07:55] red2kic: brilliantly [07:55] FHtrain, tell me if it's different. [07:55] FHtrain: I'm a bit confused by hat you mean, but cant you upload them to a file server? [07:55] buhman: Ahh. Now I'll try to remember that. :0 [07:55] red2kic: there's still some other su configuration that incorrect [07:55] I think Wubi is a virtua machine, yes? [07:55] red2kic: it asks for the user's password, not the root password [07:55] buhman: Compare /etc/group with ubuntu + debian, maybe? [07:56] 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] red2kic: I don't think that has anything to do with /etc/group [07:56] after reboot icons on panel are back but the top area in the window is gone :)) [07:56] 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] 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] buhman, it doesn't. [07:56] I can't minimize, maximize or anything [07:56] FHtrain: control H ? [07:56] captainkrtek: still no luck [07:56] ajdonnison: then what does? [07:56] bison, sorry :/ [07:57] ! ch | crack888 [07:57] crack888: Das Schweizer Team finden sie unter #ubuntu-ch, deutschsprachigen Support bekommen sie aber in #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de oder #edubuntu-de. Aus regionalen Gründen ist im Schweizer Channel nur Englisch erlaubt. Geben sie einfach /join #ubuntu-at ein! Danke für ihr Verständnis. [07:57] hello [07:57] oops [07:57] 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] sje, i dont know how to upload them to file server [07:57] 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] buhman, su should ask for the root password, sudo asks for the user password, which are you using? [07:57] soreau: will that wipe my usb partition? i want to keep the data on it [07:57] ajdonnison: that was my main concern to begin with, actually, not so much that the user was in sudoers [07:57] ajdonnison: yes [07:57] ok window decoration effect must be on [07:57] :P~ [07:57] we are forced to use some effects [07:57] buhman, yes is not a valid answer to my question. [07:57] alphamale: When you select manual partitioning, it should show the partitions already on it [07:57] .... nvm im just going to reload windows tomorrow... i am too stupid for linux [07:58] ajdonnison: sudo asks for the user password; not the root password (not the same thing as su) [07:58] tripelb, thanks i'll try it out [07:58] yes, but does ubuntu need its own partition [07:58] i want to run it as a live usb [07:58] glacia: nonsense....my dad is too stupid for windows, but smart enough for linux [07:58] alphamale: So create one [07:58] still without animation everything is much faster [07:58] OK I want to copy a DVD complete to disk. what do you recommend I do. [07:58] and fading things [07:58] 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] alphamale: not neccesarily [07:58] ok i could do that but i have grub already on it [07:58] FHtrain, use my nick when you come back and I'll notice that in the room. [07:58] 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] i just want to select booting into ubuntu instead of puppy [07:58] buhman, so do you still have a problem? Or need clarification? [07:59] ajdonnison: both [07:59] heron, i have ubuntu unleashed 10.04 and 10.10 [07:59] ajdonnison: the problem is that (even though the user isn't in sudoers right now), that sudo asks for his password [07:59] and no the root password like I'd expect [07:59] ! ask | buhman [07:59] 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] can i just modify the grub menu entry that comes with ubuntu, add it to my menu.lst? [07:59] lol tripelb thats a weird idea [07:59] soreau: how is that not a straightforward question? [07:59] and then put ubuntu in its own directory [08:00] buhman: I still have yet to see you ask your full initial question [08:00] soreau: Ubuntu's sudo/su does not behave same as Debian's sudo/su. [08:00] WARNING: Couldn't find symtab and strtab in module /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia-current.ko [08:00] anybody have an idea about my problem? [08:00] captainkrtek: what is "-bash: /etc/profile: permission denied" [08:00] soreau: He wish to have Debian's sudo/su. [08:00] 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. [08:01] red2kic: So tell him to use debian? [08:01] buhman: If you have Ubuntu + Debian side-by-side, you could compare /etc/pam.d/su -- Hopefully that matter. :\ [08:01] 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] thanks for help anyway [08:01] soreau: He want to use python2.7 . [08:01] i just want a small debian that works well with python [08:01] Is there any good tutorial for wifi cracking? [08:02] !Gnome 3 [08:02] FHtrain, i mean i thought it was weird idea for me to use your nick [08:02] red2kic: that wasn't neccessarily the problem: it was me borking the package manager [08:02] faryshta: aircrack-ng.org [08:02] 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] red2kic: which was 100% my fault [08:02] buhman: How did you bork package manager? By trying python2.7? [08:03] red2kic: among many other things, yes [08:03] red2kic: another problem was moving from openoffice to libreoffice [08:03] tripelb, but i thought 2 people cant use same nick? === lance is now known as Guest94171 [08:03] red2kic: that caused more problems than you'd expect [08:03] Hi, is there any alternative to Gwibber? [08:03] buhman: Heh. I wanted libreoffice. Just try wheezy iso and let me know how it goes. [08:04] hi. how can I encrypt a samba share? [08:04] 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] red2kic: for whatever reason, openoffice could not be uninstalled while gnome was installed [08:04] boomboorum: yes, pidgin for starters [08:04] tripelb, anyway thanks for telling me about showing hidden files, i didnt think of that, it worked [08:04] red2kic: (I think it was a specific component.. email or something...) [08:04] 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] any idea why my boot loader is broken [08:04] buhman: gnome is metapackage. You can remove it. It'll whine -- but you can remove it. [08:04] nutsfornatty: I have pidgin, but I need a client which will combine twitter, facebook and buzz [08:04] red2kic: it wasn't "gnome" it was specific components; I'm aware of this :) [08:05] Igor_Elez: do you have a flash drive? [08:05] buhman: :D [08:05] yes [08:05] red2kic: as I recall, it was like gnome-workspace among others [08:05] guys, where can I get help with Wubi? [08:05] how does wubi work, anyway? [08:05] i did an update and after reboot, my system is not working anymore === david is now known as Guest1380 [08:05] buhman: It install Ubuntu OS as a Windows program. [08:05] is it just an embedded version of qemu? [08:05] sje yes, i am on the other PC, i have a flash drive ready [08:05] hello all... [08:05] red2kic: that's *what* it does, not *how* it does it :) [08:06] Igor_Elez: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/NetworkManager/0.8/ [08:06] download and install [08:06] if someone wants to pm me that's fine it's too confusing here [08:06] sje THANKS [08:06] buhman i did the same thing, i learned after that i'm not supposed to update after installing wubi [08:06] 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] work* [08:06] 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] FHtrain: why? [08:06] i think i am still going to reload windows and just dual boot until i get a full hang of ubuntu [08:07] im using xscreensaver and passwords containing the £ character cannot be used - i.e. unlocking fails. Any ideas? [08:07] FHtrain: isn't it just being virtualized? [08:07] Is there any good tutorial for wifi cracking? [08:07] FHtrain: I don't see how that would cause problems with the package management [08:07] buhman, from what i read, updating ubuntu on wubi can cause booting problems [08:07] ubuntu 11.04 is there a way to change the wallpaper of the login screen? thanks [08:08] g0r33k: Get a microphone preamp. [08:08] buhman i'm now copying everything from the disc because i havent been able to fix the problem like other people [08:08] buhman, i cant boot into windows or ubuntu because of it [08:08] sje private :) [08:08] selig5: is that the only way? [08:08] buhman: It install grub on MBR. Grub point to a compressed ISO somewhere on C:\ -- So Ubuntu on NTFS filesystem. [08:09] That's my guess. [08:09] okay [08:09] buhman: If NTFS filesystem is garbage, Ubuntu's experience will be garbage, just same as Windows. === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [08:10] which command should I use to resume a download in shell? Currently trying with wget. [08:10] hi guys , , anyone know how to set IP address in natty ? cause my IP address usually change if I disconnect and connect agaain, any idea ? [08:11] red2kic: and somehow it's a windows "application"? [08:11] FHtrain, yw [08:11] red2kic: that doesn't make sense; and it you can't flexibly install packages or do a distribution upgrade? [08:11] buhman: Yeah. It is treated that way. [08:11] red2kic: how? [08:11] buhman: Ask in #debian about python2.7 (ask about backports) [08:12] 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. [08:13] which command should I use to resume a download in shell? Currently trying with wget. [08:13] anyone can help me please about my problem? [08:13] tripelb, oh ok you meant for me to just type your nick. i thought you were telling me to use your nick lol [08:14] grobe: set a static ip? [08:14] anything to do when the unitypar does not want to minimize? [08:14] grobe, gnome or kde? [08:14] tripelb: transcode works pretty well [08:15] buhman, I'll look.

[08:57] Tiktalik: didn't boot at all or you can not boot unity [08:57] zvacet: I tried Ubuntu Classic, not working right either [08:57] shcherbak, Ah, well my laptop isn't running Ubuntu [08:57] from login menu select ubuntu classic [08:57] zvacet: I tried that, it didn't work either [08:57] guys, when trying to install 11.04, i can *just* about see the graphics for the installer, its there but sooo dim i can hardly see it, any ideas [08:58] Tiktalik: are you sure that cd is right ( md5sum checked) [08:58] zvacet, it's not a fresh install [08:58] DirtyDawg, plug your laptop in [08:58] I upgraded [08:58] i tried installing redis-server i386 on my amd64 system (with dpkg --force-architecture). It failed, but now I can't install normal redis-server, as it thinks i386 is installed. I can't uninstall it, as it doesn't find such a package. The error is as follows redis-server: 2:2.2.5-1 (Multi-Arch: no) is not co-installable with redis-server:i386 2:2.2.5-1 (Multi-Arch: no) which is currently installed [08:58] llutz, where to find this networkmanager option? [08:58] vili: Right, CD is better way then (you can make USB via live session from CD) [08:58] please help me with my system [08:59] zvacet: I upgraded ubuntu to 11.4, then when I tried to log in the login window just disappeared, then I tried again with ubuntu classic selected [08:59] After that, I tried safe mode [08:59] It worked [08:59] Then, I tried unity again, and it kinda worked. No menu bar though [08:59] Tiktalik: if you can boot in recovery then [09:00] hi all, just get my upgrade to 11.04 and the desktop switcher in the panel is showing only 1 workspace.. have you ever experience that? [09:00] Tiktalik: maybe your gpu I don't know [09:00] zvacet: brb, imma try classic again [09:00] #aircrack-ng is dead. Does anyone knows where else to find help about aircrack or a good tutorial about it? [09:00] shcherbak, Alright I'll try that then, thanks [09:00] hello all [09:00] Why is it advisable to not upgrade to latest Ubuntu, but instead do a fresh install? [09:01] can anyone help me [09:01] faryshta: They forum and wiki and quite decent. [09:01] *are [09:01] 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? [09:01] i screwed my install of ubuntu when i upgraded to 11.04 [09:01] i was getting the following error: http://i51.tinypic.com/2cz8t5g.jpg [09:02] go to the http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/forum.php to find help, it always works for me [09:02] i've booted off a live cd to the cmd line [09:02] all the files are still there and are intact [09:03] zvacet: okay, classic works now [09:03] i suspect i've broke grub somehow [09:03] that was odd [09:03] Tiktalik: good :) [09:03] sorry llutz how do i get to the network manager? [09:03] can anyone point me someone to fix it? [09:03] How can i stop window titlebars opening behind the top panel in natty classic? [09:03] shcherbak, but is very outdated http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/Compatibility?action=diff&version=5 the compatibilily list was written 2 years ago. [09:03] LAcan: what do you mean, get to it? [09:04] sje2, how do I open it? [09:04] brign up the gui or whatever... [09:04] LAcan: nm-applet [09:04] sje2, no i dont want the applet [09:04] that's the gui, man. [09:05] 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 [09:05] sje2, ok.. im going off osmeone else tips but maybe u know... how can I manually configure a wifi interface to start and connect when the computer boots instead of when I log in? [09:05] 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 [09:05] LAcan: I don't know how to do that, sorry [09:05] good question though [09:06] Answer to my question was 'Place Windows' in csmm. thanks me [09:06] Hi, I am trying to build 32 bit C++ app on my 64 Ubuntu. I get the following error [09:06] /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.5/libstdc++.so when searching for -lstdc++ [09:06] Can anyone tell me how to manually configre a NIC to start on boot instead of when I log in? [09:08] Aaanyone? [09:08] what? [09:08] 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 [09:09] Arachon: it was buggy before the restore? [09:09] mysterious: Nope, worked perfectly [09:09] mysteriousdarren: So there's something in my home folder doing it... Probably a config file that's hung around since 10.10 [09:09] Anyone? [09:09] Can anyone tell me how to manually configre a NIC to start on boot instead of when I log in? [09:10] 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] It would def be a config file or a .....I am thinking. [09:10] Tuplad: Uninstall -- No. Reinstall -- Yes. [09:11] 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] red2kic: why reinstall ? [09:11] Tuplad, if you don't use it, it won't slow your pc down [09:11] !downgrade | Tuplad [09:11] Tuplad: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [09:11] or use a different desktop environment altogether. [09:11] !downgrade [09:11] Tuplad: Read what ubottu told you. [09:11] I'm not trying to downgrade [09:11] just remove unity [09:12] I'd rather get Gnome 3 [09:12] You can install Gnome 3 [09:12] It's gonna break Unity, but you can still use Gnome [09:12] 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] Tuplad: Unity can coegsist with Gnome3, on point of removing it, yet. [09:12] Arachon: or one of the dependancies. [09:12] so removing Unity can't be done ? [09:12] Tuplad: I think you can switch to classic Gnome. [09:13] !gnome3 | Tuplad [09:13] 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] Tuplad: Who knows? [09:13] !classic | Tuplad [09:13] 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] Arachon: look at the package manager and see if anything is broken. Or update and see how it goes from there. [09:13] !Unity | Tuplad [09:13] Tuplad, please see my private message [09:14] mysteriousdarren: The thing is, I can log into a guest account perfectly alright. [09:14] 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] can anyone talk me through rebuilding my grub thingy? [09:14] 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] Arachon: that is very strange. So everything works normal on one, and not the other? Are the apps and programs identical? [09:15] !grubrepair | AziaBurgi [09:15] 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] mysteriousdarren: Well, it's the same system... I just choose "Guest session" from the shutdown menu, and bam, unity's working [09:15] starZ: just add another workspace... [09:15] mysteriousdarren: so there's something in my home folder that came with me from Maverick [09:16] LAcan, did you managed to do it? I am interested in your problem too. [09:16] shcherbak, ok i think i had my auto statment in the wrong place [09:16] mysteriousdarren: thx for the answer but it doesn't work for me.. :( [09:16] 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] faryshta, rebooting [09:17] can anyone help me [09:17] mysteriousdarren: Well that's just it... Lots of things hidden, .gconf, .compiz etc, that I'm not sure what it does [09:17] I guess I could load up natty in a virtual machine on my desktop, and compare the home folders [09:17] Upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10, 2 display machine, about 2 days after upgarde i log into machine and 2nd display retains the login screen wallpaper with no menu bars. I can move the mouse into that screen but cant do anything (right click doesnt work either) [09:17] bison: with what? [09:17] fasdf [09:17] other profiles can see the 2nd screen fine [09:18] join === root is now known as Guest62327 [09:18] sje2: 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 [09:18] asdfasdf [09:18] root: shouldnt run irc clients under root... [09:18] I stripped mine down and deleted almost everything and it worked. Alot of things aren't needed. [09:18] bison: ah, I'm not on the new version of ubuntu...I'm actually on mint [09:18] 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? [09:18] starZ right click and add more rows [09:19] ffs didnt work [09:19] mmm [09:19] does anyone know why ubuntu+1 is invite only? [09:19] hi! I just upgraded to natty and the update manager gives me the following message: Not all updates can be installed [09:19] slacker_nl: There isn't an ubuntu +1 in development yet, so the channel is closed [09:20] can any 1 help me to install no-ip duc [09:20] DJones: I used to be in that channel, till my server rebooted and now it is invite only.. they must have changed it while I was init [09:20] can any 1 help me to install no-ip duc in backtrack [09:20] grind: doesn't work.. ;( [09:20] and well, no dice atm [09:21] can any 1 help me to install no-ip duc in backtrack [09:21] can any 1 help me to install no-ip duc in backtrack [09:21] can any 1 help me to install no-ip duc in backtrack [09:21] !mint | sje2 [09:21] can any 1 help me to install no-ip duc in backtrack [09:21] sje2: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [09:21] can any 1 help me to install no-ip duc in backtrack [09:21] bhavanshu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:21] I was getting this error on Maverick too and I hoped this should have got resolved when I installed natty. :( [09:21] any clues [09:21] anyone? [09:21] hello all! [09:21] !backtrack | bhavanshu [09:21] bhavanshu: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [09:21] can any 1 help me to install no-ip duc in backtrack [09:22] 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? anyone anyclue? [09:22] novaria_fajar: Hey! [09:22] slacker_nl: When new releases are made, they make the channel invite only so that people use #ubuntu for support to avoid confusion, once 11.10 starts being developed and available for download its normally opened up again [09:22] Hello, can someone please help me in building a sample 32 bit c++ app on 64 bit Unbuntu? [09:22] Can somebody help me explain about piracy thing??? :)) [09:22] !piracy | novaria_fajar [09:22] novaria_fajar: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [09:23] can anyone help me [09:23] Jordan_U: why did you do that? Was I asking advice, and even if I was asking for advice, most of the advice I can be given would be just as usable [09:23] no...i mean this: I want to explain to my friends that blender, libreoffice, n etc didnt violate someones copyright [09:24] sje2: Sorry, that was indeed a mistake on my part. [09:24] its fine [09:24] any body?? could explain me that copyright thing...... [09:24] :)) [09:24] novaria_fajar: did you explain waht free software is? [09:25] novaria_fajar: I guess it is called fork ;) [09:25] novaria_fajar: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/why-is-it-free [09:26] Hi, I reinstalled my laptop with ubuntu 11.04, since that I cannot export displays from a server to my screen, how can I fix that? The error on the remote host is "Cannot open display". I did run "xhost +" on my localhost [09:26] Angelo_abe: what kind of server? [09:27] novaria_fajar: You can also give the example of Firefox which they are likely to be familiar with. [09:27] visionofarun: have you used C# before? I used devc# and it worked great for me [09:27] Hi,I am going to format my pc soon.My ubuntu is Up to date.can I save the file so that I can avoid downloading the update files again ?? [09:27] So this is my debate with my friend: He think, that if someone want to make a new software that can execute .DOC file in example he need to asking for permission to the .DOC code owner...... [09:27] !ot | novaria_fajar [09:27] novaria_fajar: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [09:28] sje2: from a linux server [09:28] Angelo_abe: i mean, like, how are you connecting to it? [09:28] remote desktop? ssh? [09:28] 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] like I did yesterday with DISPLAY:myIP:0 application [09:29] d_atharva: like the iso file? [09:29] Angelo_abe: Can you post /etc/ssh/ssh_config from you lappy on paste.ubuntu.com ? === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [09:29] d_atharva: maybe you can try remastersys... [09:30] Angelo_abe: And if you mess with sshd_conf on your server, please revert it. [09:30] hi, i don't see the sudo group in the "user sttings" -> advanced -> "user priviledge" window [09:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/603153/ [09:30] how should i add a sudo priviledge to a user ? [09:30] I changed the ForwardX11 to yes, but that did not help [09:30] ben42: admin group gouvern sudo rights [09:31] @sjcherbak, I cannot change the server [09:31] I went back to maverick and my nvidia problem is solved. even though it is the same version of the driver [09:31] Angelo_abe: Do you use -Y or -X switch (not sure it do matter)? [09:31] d_atharva: you still there? [09:31] no i don't, I also did not use it before I switched to 11.04 [09:32] ya .But i dont want all the installed softwares also to be copied.only the updates [09:32] Im using Firefox 4.0.1 for Ubuntu Canonical - 1.0, and it seems to be crashing and it crashes (firefox turns grey) after navigating a page or two. Any idea how I can fix this? [09:33] it has something to do with my computer not allowing to accept the export display, but on 10.04 I had a graphical interface to accept this , but I don't find it in 11.04 [09:33] d_atharva: I'm not sure that makes sense [09:33] the updates are the updated softwaer [09:33] shcherbak, is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [09:34] shcherbak, groups -> adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin sambashare [09:34] Angelo_abe: For the moment, my conf to compare (working but 10.10): http://paste.ubuntu.com/603158/ [09:35] rename u1304498075UKwNI derrick_paul_fb [09:35] save [09:35] Angelo_abe: Only trusted differ. [09:35] shcherbak: indeed, that will do the trick? [09:35] d_atharva: you will install same ubuntu version? [09:36] sherbak: I found this which seems very related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/498434 [09:36] Ubuntu bug 498434 in gdm (Ubuntu) "No graphical way to allow TCP logins to Xserver in gdmsetup. No alternate method documented." [Wishlist,New] [09:36] Angelo_abe: As far as I know, I have reinstalled one system to get X forwarding work ;) [09:37] ubottu: yes, that might be my issue, I will need to create the custom.conf file? [09:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:37] !aptoncd | d_atharva [09:37] d_atharva: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [09:38] he doesnt want all the packages, zvacet, just the important ones [09:38] shcherbak: I just reinstalled it and it is not working since :D [09:39] Is there any good tutorial for aircrack? === kevdog_ is now known as kevdog [09:39] shcherbak, I created the file and will perform a restart of gdm to see if this helped me === davidhsu is now known as tilo [09:39] sje2: well,I was thinking that he want save updates [09:39] can anyone help me [09:40] bison: what do you need? [09:40] anyone know what the plans are for unity ? will we be able to have pullout/popout lists on the launcher bar etc.. [09:40] mysteriousdarren: 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 [09:41] Trying to make a script run on startup (not for a particular user but for all users). I don't know how to make a startup job. [09:41] SinnerNyx, call it from /etc/rc.local [09:41] bison: so no login screen? or anything like that? [09:42] defswork: really? that easy? thanks, I'll try that now [09:42] mysteriousdarren: nothing, just black screen [09:42] you want it to run at boot up or at login ? [09:42] so from the time of bootup a couple flickers of light and then darkness? [09:42] hmm... with firefox broken for the moment, what's another good web browser? [09:42]
  • wo [09:43] shcherbak: after the restart my issue is resolved! thanks for the inputs [09:43] Angelo_abe: Thanks [09:43] just switch to a older kernel, I had the same problem till I did that. [09:43]
  • who can tell me the gesture of ubuntu ? [09:43] gesture? [09:44] mysteriousdarren: ya, from bootup [09:44] 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? [09:44] bison, there is only one thing coming to mind all this time long. [09:44] misteriousdarren: any other suggestion? [09:44] bison, use the liveCD and check if your files are still there. [09:44] li: \o/ ??? [09:44] how to mount ntfs by root password??? [09:44] how to mount ntfs by root's password in kde?????????????? [09:44] how to mount ntfs by root's password in kde????????????? [09:44] bison, then try to make a back up on them. Re install the all system, try to use /home in a separate partition. [09:44] defswork: Thanks for the help. I have no means of testing if it works right now. I didn't think it would be that easy. I'll be back if I have any more problems. [09:45] hmmm...well that worked for me, I do not know a workaround at this time. [09:45] !spam | SLruan [09:45] faryshta: all files are still intact [09:45]
  • feature? [09:45] Yay, I got back to Ubuntu after long years. Quick question: any changes to Xorg regarding how it reads Xft settings? I still can't set DPI to what I want even though I already have the Xft.dpi entry in ~/.Xresources [09:45] bison, if you wanna try my idea I can help you step by step. [09:45] hey guys, flash is giving me problems (little or large squares over view window or buttons), what can i do about it? [09:45] Err I mean fontconfig [09:45] SLruan: Ask in #kubuntu [09:45] ?? [09:45]
  • 3d desk [09:45] thank you [09:45] bison, do you have an external hard drive or something to create a back up? [09:45] SLruan: slow down and ask nicely. We are more than happy to take time. [09:45] faryshta: there a lots of applications [09:45] defworks: it's the setterm commands. I'd like it to run at bootup, but I think that it's unlikely to work unless a user is actually logged in [09:45] mysteriousdarren: Eh, he's using KDE anyway so... If he doesn't get an answer then we'll try. :) [09:46] faryshta: and how about my settings [09:46] faryshta: plugins and some tweaking [09:46] defswork: it's the setterm commands. I'd like it to run at bootup, but I think that it's unlikely to work unless a user is actually logged in [09:46] Starminn: what do you think? ideas? [09:46] 2nd display wont work properly on one of my login accounts, where should i start looking? [09:47] could be a older driver... [09:47] uberfrau: i was having that problem as well. 64 bit ubuntu installation? [09:47] SinnerNyx, add something to /etc/profile them [09:47] yes Axlin [09:47] then* [09:47] bison, all gone. Let me find if there is a script to save the programs you have installed and reinstall them again. [09:47] faryshta: so you mean to say that i have to re install the whole system? [09:48] bison: back up home and etc I think that is enough [09:48] defswork: so wait. is rc.local on bootup? [09:48] had to install g++multilib package [09:48] bison, if you put /home on a separate folder then settings are restored after reinstalls. [09:48] thanks to apt-cache [09:48] bison, that is the only think **I** can think maybe there is another way to fix this. [09:48] SinnerNyx, rc.local gets called from the normal init.d bootup regime [09:48] 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] bison: do you have any valuable files if you do back them up too [09:48] as* [09:49] 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] either solution worked for me [09:49] SinnerNyx, /etc/profile gets run each time a user logs in (to a shell - not into X) [09:49] faryshta: docs and settings [09:49] so i should just go get t his 'flash-aid'? is it ff4 compatible? :/ [09:49] 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] yes uberfrau [09:49] faryshta: is there an other way to fix it? [09:49] test [09:49] k, going to try that then, Axlin, brb =) [09:49] bison: doc and settings are in home [09:49] hi, why i don't have visual effects in system>preferences>appearance !? [09:50] defswork: So I have no idea about init.d bootup regimes :S [09:50] update your graphics card drivers, Charbel :D [09:50] 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] bison, I don't know. I can't think on any other way. [09:51] Hi, for installing on macbookpro7.1 do I need the +mac iso, or normal one ? also 32 or 64 bits ? [09:51] bison, try www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs its a very active comunity. [09:51] а где русский канал есть убунты? [09:51] hi guys.. in the process of upgrade 10.10 to 11.04 using alternate CD. now the "Distribution Upgrade" dialogs hung on: "Setting up nvidia-common". what should i do? [09:51] I installed mozplugger to view pdfs inside firefox, but /etc/mozpluggerrc is missing, and it does not work, beside dpkg -L mozplugger tells me that it is contained within the mozplugger package..

[09:52] hey all [09:53] poshaluista posetitye #ubuntu-ru dlya polutseniya argh I give up reading that [09:53] I am looking for a command to list all printers on the network with their IP addresses [09:53] faryshta: how about fixing the xorg? [09:53] faryshta: or grub loader maybe [09:54] bison, ask on reddit, they might help you on finding if xorg is the problem. === syockit_ is now known as syockit [09:55] 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] err, Axlin, idk how to look at add-ons with ff4 :/ === Pyker is now known as Guest49139 [09:56] nvm, found it [09:56] to my original question: Its a known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/766512 [09:56] Ubuntu bug 766512 in apparmor (Ubuntu) "Apparmor prevents the use of mozplugger" [Undecided,New] [09:56] is now a subsection of a search, lame [09:57] ok i need help with this grub thing [09:57] ok that was annoying.. [09:57] bison, can you access grub? [09:58] faryshta: how [09:58] anyone? list all networked printers? [09:58] FuzzyFox0: nast will list lan, but do not distingish printers [09:59] faryshta: what is the command? [09:59] shcherbak: can it distinguish if port 9100 is open? [10:00] FuzzyFox0: Oh, use nmap [10:01] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/760131 <-- Is this bug important enough to be fixed in Natty or will it only be fixed in Oneiric? I'm on a laptop with a not so fantastic battery, so it really is keeping me from updating... [10:01] Ubuntu bug 760131 in linux (Ubuntu Oneiric) "Power consumption raised significantly in natty" [High,Confirmed] [10:01] shcherbak: any thing more specific? Im not the most tech user however I can get my head round most things [10:01] reboot your computer, after the bios loads push F8 (or one of those) [10:01] bison, [10:01] FuzzyFox0, listing networked printers is usually via network device discovery [10:01] 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] bison, then you should see a list of boot options. [10:01] FuzzyFox0, hpnp or lpr printers won't show though [10:02] faryshta: ya, i can see the options [10:02] bison, then you must choose the option to load on shell. [10:02] defswork: some show but not all [10:02] it's under tweaking options uberfrau [10:02] defswork: most of the printers here use IPP so I need their ips :P [10:02] bison, its probably the second option. [10:02] port scanning to find printers shows that somewhere you aren't managing your network properly [10:02] faryshta: recovery mode? [10:02] 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] bison, yes, then you must see a ton of commands, after a while will ask you to log in. [10:03] oh i see it now, sorry for overlooking it. what does it do though? [10:03] uberfrau: what do you mean? [10:03] hi guys.. in the process of upgrade 10.10 to 11.04 using alternate CD. now the "Distribution Upgrade" dialogs hung on: "Setting up nvidia-common". what should i do? help.. [10:03] uberfrau: there is nothing special hidden, just .bzrignore and .bzr [10:03] faryshta: i already re configure the graphics [10:03] still no luck [10:04] . = hidden, just making sure you knew that [10:04] =) [10:04] Well but we at least now know where is the problem. [10:04] uberfrau: normally i know how to compile, but i'm not into autoconf [10:04] bison, I am not knowledged at xorg so I can't help you any further :( [10:04] faryshta: i review the the log and seeo screen something wrong, no n [10:05] blueonyx, idk about your specific issue, sorry buddy :o [10:06] xD [10:06] 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] bison: still having issues? === lance is now known as Guest78867 [10:06] .oO(ah running autoconf generates a configure script) [10:06] celthunder: same issues [10:06] bison, I seriously recommend reddit for that. Here people seem very unattentive. [10:06] Axlin, disabling that setting fixed it, thank you very much for pointing me to that add-on [10:06] bison: did the open source drivers help? [10:06] 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] cool, np uberfrau [10:06] hi guys [10:06] celthunder: i cant login [10:06] wait Axlin [10:06] now no sound... [10:07] wtf lol [10:07] how do i find out who the maintainer of a specific package is? [10:07] celthunder: black screen [10:07] bison: ? i thought you could get to a terminal? [10:07] well... that's bad [10:07] celthunder: dunno what to type [10:07] bison: i'd start with lsmod find your video drivers and modprobe -r them [10:08] bison: i'd then apt-cache search nvidia and find the open source ones and install them [10:08] celthunder: asking for a login in terminal [10:08] yeah...so login? [10:09] celthunder: login as root [10:09] celthunder: user@desktop login: ? [10:10] bison: ? login as your user and sudo su - [10:10] celthunder: password? [10:10] guys I got this error yesterday: http://i51.tinypic.com/2cz8t5g.jpg [10:10] bison: if you don't know your own usernames password then you deserve to get screwed over [10:11] err Axlin, i disabled that plugin but youtube still doesn't work...what do [10:11] video runs, audio doesn't [10:11] AziaBurgi: generally trying to mount wrong partition [10:11] AziaBurgi: is your ubuntu ran as a virtual machine? [10:11] no [10:11] celthunder: -bash: etc/profile: permission denied [10:12] uberfrau, I don't have flash installed I prefer deturl and add ons to download the youtube videos. Maybe you can give it a try. [10:12] bison: Are you new to Linux? [10:12] I had this issue, what i did to repair is was, checking the disk. [10:12] toggles: any suggestions on fixing that? [10:12] 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] i just want flash to work, it's too important x.x [10:12] chrisbster: yes sir [10:13] 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] uberfrau: you on 64 bit or 32? [10:13] celthunder: ok...sorry, i already type lsmod [10:13] hey there folks, i'm using 10.10 on my netbook in gnome, and i can't get keyboard shortcut for tomboy to work, alt+F12 is set in the tomboy preferences, and in ngnome keyboard shortcuts there's no conflicting setting i can find. [10:13] uberfrau, not actually :) you won't miss it after a while. [10:13] my computer is 64, and i'm pretty sure i installed 64 as well [10:13] but it just does nothing. [10:13] 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] bison: find your video modules and modprobe -r them [10:13] Hello. [10:14] Axlin, is okay as long as i get sound back -_- [10:14] uberfrau: make a 32 bit chroot if 64 bit flash fails (which it does) and install it in that [10:14] 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] 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] uberfrau: then you get your 64 bit system with the 32 bit flash [10:14] celthunder: i have no idea how to do that ._. [10:15] This bloody is stuck in my status bar. Empathy caused it, but it won't remove it even when I click on it. [10:15] is there an anti-virus i can install in ubuntu10.10 to examine windows hd's? [10:15] Anyone have any luck with setting up gnome-shell with Natty? I can't stand Unity [10:15] hi all [10:15] chrisbster: ok copy that. tnx [10:15] hi [10:15] uberfrau, there is a firefox extension called flash-aid that will install the best possible flash setup and clean up a little [10:15] uberfrau, thats what you should use [10:15] Question: why does different versions of Ubuntu supply different versions of Unison in synaptic package manager? [10:15] bp0, that's what i installed, it killed my sound [10:16] uberfrau, it killed your sound in flash? [10:16] yes [10:16] youtube :/ [10:16] chrisbster: agpgart [10:16] uberfrau, it killed your entire system sound or the flash sound? [10:16] uberfrau, what version of flash did it install? (about:plugins) [10:16] upgrade 10.10 to 11.04, process hung. now i killed the nvidia-detector process, upgrade continues, and now stuck when creating grub.cfg. please help [10:17] cretsiah: Avast! and ClamAV are popular choices. [10:17] bp0: Shockwave Flash 10.3 d162 [10:17] cretsiah: Avast! is also nice on Windows, so if you have a dual-boot you could always use the same on both. ;) [10:17] how to use modprobe [10:17] bp0: and flash-aid is better than finding the one that works yourself how? [10:18] How do you install{ a kernel on a partiton without booting on that partition? [10:18] bp0: j/w....i generally view stuff like that....badly [10:18] bison: modprobe -r [10:18] on ubuntu use what to replace the photoshop to make photo [10:18] ty Starminn [10:18] please? [10:18] kevinyoung, gimp [10:18] kevinyoung: Gimp [10:19] o [10:19] celthunder, its magic and i've had only good results [10:19] jgould: can just compile it there, or chroot to it [10:19] how can i install ubuntu on a usb from puppy linux [10:19] think you [10:19] i have the iso and a usb partition [10:19] 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] 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] gimp is same to photoshop [10:19] alexUnder: Or making an alias? [10:19] alphamale: dd -o that'll put the iso on your usb drive so you can install from it [10:19] I have .debs for the new kernel. I've been bitten by the bug that affects the i915 chipset [10:20] Starminn: how? :/ [10:20] ? [10:20] I have a challenge for the collective wisdom of the group. I have a machine I want to dual boot with. It's a 2 TB HD. 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] u's might have some suggestions. :-0 [10:20] uberfrau, thats the version i've got and no sound probles, I'm on maverick (10.10) Firefox 4, amd64 [10:20] Starminn @ im not sure what i need for this >_< [10:20] faryshta: it disabled my headphones... [10:20] i can copy the iso onto the usb no problem [10:20] 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] but how do i install [10:20] does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? i have booted from a live cd [10:20] might try clamav first.... system was working fine ..... now its slow from the bootup bios screen :/ [10:20] How safe it is to install my root folder / on a SD card? [10:20] god damn it -_- [10:20] posted workaround which at least solved the issue on my box: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/766512 [10:20] chrisbster: do they show up in fdisk? [10:20] Ubuntu bug 766512 in apparmor (Ubuntu) "Apparmor prevents the use of mozplugger" [Undecided,New] [10:21] faryshta: not very... [10:21] Starminn @ okie, thnx. im gonna g00gle it =) [10:21] celthunder: yup [10:21] how the hell did installing flash-aid disable my headphones???!? [10:21] alexUnder: Best of luck to you. [10:21] uberfrau, then the problem isn't in flash, its in your system settings. [10:21] chrisbster: so use that to partition instead of the crap default partitioner? [10:21] chrisbster: then mount your drives and skip that step [10:21] oh? where then? it resulted *from* running the flash-aid script ;/ [10:22] sorry i am not getting it celthunder [10:22] Anyone have any luck with setting up gnome-shell with Natty? I can't stand Unity [10:22] ubuntu10.10 doesnt seem to like big file transfers + xchat + software center all at the same time with only 2gig ram :( [10:22] uberfrau, restart pulse, or log in and out, maybe [10:22] celthunder: i can't dot it, maybe i'll just re install the whole system :( [10:22] er, out and in [10:22] idk how to restart pulse :/ [10:22] bison: ? how's that goign to help [10:22] celthunder: huh...yeah...it makes more since to do it that way. i've been trying to f*ck with the GUIs, but yeah... Duh... [10:23] can I unpack the .debs and manually copy the files to where they go on teh boot partition [10:23] oh wait [10:23] i think i fixed it [10:23] went into pavucontrol and toggled on headphones [10:23] hy, how to set the preserve parameter (-p of copy) in nautilus [10:23] why did it toggle it off to begin with, though? :( [10:23] celthunder: i can't understand some of your terms [10:23] jgould: you can set --prefix to somewhere other than root would probably be better [10:23] jgould: Rather not. [10:23] celthunder: like module? [10:24] celthunder: i already type lsmod, there are list [10:24] bison: I wasn't here for a description of your error, what's going on? [10:24] bison: yeah those are your loaded kernel modules [10:24] *sigh*, this is going to destroy my install [10:24] chrisbster: he's got X issues i told him to use the open source drivers [10:24] There has to be an easier way to install a kernel on a machine that wont' boot using the generic kernel.... [10:24] celthunder: ah. Gotcha. [10:25] thanks for the help, fixed my problem [10:25] chrisbster: and he can't apparently find the nvidia proprietary drivers to get rid of first...meh if he reinstalls hes just gonna end up in the same place [10:25] though i dislike solving one problem and then having to solve another to have the same functionality as before [10:25] can i just make a new menu entry in my grub file? [10:25] celthunder: :( [10:26] I want to copy a dvd to my hard drive. How do I do that? [10:26] celthunder: Where have we been looking for the drivers? [10:26] chrisbster: lsmod lol [10:26] I want to return the original and still be able to play it. [10:26] tripelb: Open the DVD and drag-and-drop all the files ot where you want. [10:26] chrisbster: where else would you look [10:26] tripelb: Oh.. [10:26] chrisbster: lsmod modprobe -r them and modprobe up the right ones [10:26] chrisbster: unless you have a better way [10:26] tripelb: We can't discuss that. :( [10:27] celthunder: after typing lsmod [10:27] celthunder: there ist [10:27] celthunder: there are list [10:28] 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] tripelb: vobcopy poweriso or cdrkit [10:28] celthunder: i can see agpgart [10:28] bison: pastebin the list [10:29] tripelb thats considered illegal in most countries [10:29] celthunder: how? im on the terminal console (alt+F1) [10:29] chrisbster: it also saves from having to reinstall the proprietary ones if they aren't the issue [10:30] hi [10:30] celthunder: couldn't we just do, sudo apt-get --purge remove [10:30] im a newbie [10:30] :D [10:30] hi, looking for help with the new ubuntu release [10:30] i installed it yesterday, but it's very slow and choppy [10:30] 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] bison: wgetpaste or curlpaste (you may have to install them with apt-get install) [10:30] celthunder: that is offtopic here [10:31] chrisbster: i don't want him to uninstall them though just unload them [10:31] celthunder: sorry - not you [10:31] cretsiah: that is offtopic here [10:31] hello, is there a way improving the speed of hibernate? [10:31] celthunder, I doubt he can paste bin something from shell. [10:31] faryshta: I was thinking the same, haha. [10:31] faryshta: it's like 530 am and i'm on like no sleep again...give me a break [10:31] :) [10:32] van7hu: Only if you're willing to work on conditionally throwing out some info [10:32] cretsiah: what site (in /msg) [10:32] van7hu: Hibernate literally takes everything in active memory and writes it out to the HD. [10:32] cretsiah: Oh, and what browser? [10:32] 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? [10:33] celthunder, I just found that funny not trying to be offensive at all. [10:33] chrisbster: windows seven is more faster, I just wonders about ubuntu [10:33] van7hu: The information in Ubuntu utilizes meory differently [10:34] memory* [10:34] celthunder: sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: permission denied [10:34] Feyisayo, try to log out and choose classic you may have to reboot [10:34] van7hu: What I mean is, Ubuntu usually loads more stuff into memory for us to speed up system response time [10:34] 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 [10:35] chrisbster: I see, thanks [10:35] van7hu: chrisbster you can increase hibernate speed...depending on other factors though [10:35] * jgould finds a wall and beats his head into it [10:36] van7hu: chrisbster you can suspend to ram instead of hdd for instance... [10:36] 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] van7hu, W7 is a cheater on booting matters. It loads the graphic enviroments first. [10:36] 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 [10:37] celthunder: Can you? I always thought that DDR3 lost information when it lost power. [10:37] Is there a way to keep things like a clock screenlet above the Video window even in fullscreen mode? [10:38] chrisbster: it does [10:38] 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] chrisbster: van7hu you combine suspend to disk with suspend to ram.... [10:38] chrisbster: van7hu that way it goes fast and if you lose power completely it's ok [10:39] celthunder: But isn't that like sleeping, but hibernating at the same time? [10:39] chrisbster: something like that...benefits of both [10:39] robin0800, I can't log in because of the messed up display [10:40] Is there a way to keep things like a clock screenlet above the Video window even in fullscreen mode? [10:40] 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 [10:41] yay! the chat's dead [10:41] chrisbster: is he trying to increase hibernate shutdown or power up [10:42] celthunder: Speed up shutdown [10:42] bison: still there? [10:42] anyone knows how to add thunderbird to me menu of ubuntu [10:42] 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. [10:42] chrisbster: nvm then lol i misread the first line [10:42] chrisbster: what i said would increase startup (or did for me) by a lot === bsodmike_ is now known as bsodmike [10:42] celthunder: You are correct though, it should exponentially increase star-up [10:43] celthunder: I was just like...what? [10:43] anyone knows how to add thunderbird to me menu of ubuntu [10:43] sachin, if you installed thunderbird then you should be able to see it on the menu on the "network" submenu. [10:43] sachin, ALT+F2 alacarte press enter [10:43] sachin: Which Ubuntu version? === spearman is now known as Spearman [10:43] chrisbster: bison uhm where we at with the pastebin [10:43] what it would alt+f2 and next command will do [10:43] ?

[11:04] i can help :D [11:04] bison: celthunder Type whoami again [11:04] Feyisayo: ? if you're using catalyst no wonder it's broken those havn't been updated since like 2004 [11:04] what a problem? :D [11:04] same output? [11:04] I'm using an nvidia card with the proprietary drivers installed and when I drag windows it stutters a lot. [11:04] cannot find name [11:05] I'm new to all of this linux and I have a decent machine built for it. I have planned on doing a Ubuntu install I want to keep it simple. It feels like I've been dropped on my head with Fedora. [11:05] Feyisayo: find them in apt then install modprobe -r the existing ones and modprobe up the right ones [11:05] It happens in both Unity and Classic, so I assume it's a compiz issue. [11:05] celthunder, yes, thank you, thank you ! [11:05] hmm [11:05] so [11:05] bison: celthunder OK, we are going to (dare i say it) log you in as root [11:05] bison: celthunder I promised myself I would never do this... [11:05] what happening when you enable soft-windows? [11:05] chrisbster: i told him to sudo su - and set a root pw and just use that for now a while ago... [11:06] (sory for bad lang. ;>) [11:06] chrisbster: why not? i ALWAYS have at least 3 root terminals open...and a few user terminals too but...they're needed [11:06] It's okay. Where is the soft window option? [11:06] Blackflowers- many people like showing off to new comers, with that ill leave it up to you, ubuntu has the best help community. [11:06] <__shai> celthunder: can I create an xfs partition using parted? [11:06] go to ccsm [11:06] and... in effects group [11:06] ok what is the command to login as a root [11:07] bison: celthunder bison, logout and login with the name 'root' and the password as your user password [11:07] 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] I almost had the machine pulled apart and was looking to see if the mainboard was bad. [11:07] chrisbster: ? his root password is his user password? that's just dumb [11:07] well, i would wipe the drive and put ubuntu in its place and be done with it. [11:07] you should have option (with icon like a curved window) ;d [11:07] bison: celthunder that's what I was guessing [11:08] how do i install sta drivers? [11:08] Sounds like the best plan. [11:08] Fading Windows or Wobbly Windows? [11:08] wobbly [11:08] Fading is checked, Wobbly is not. [11:08] I'm trying to disable "Recent Documents" If I use this command, sudo apt-get remove zeitgeist will it interfere with anything else? [11:08] bison: celthunder since he doesn't have extensive knowledge of a Unix environment, I was assuming he was using the defaults [11:08] and what happening now? [11:08] login incorrect [11:09] I'm currently in the no effects desktop right now. I'll relog into compiz. [11:09] celthunder, ok I try that. But right now. I can't log in because of the messed up display. Any ideas as to a work around? [11:09] Feyisayo: ctrl alt f1 [11:10] Okay, now I'm in the compiz login. :) === scarface is now known as Guest64781 [11:10] okay [11:10] I did something and now I have no up-lets , who to review thous back ? [11:10] so try that option D: [11:10] Should i install 11.04 or a earlier version, this machine has 8gb ram and if i remember 32bit has PAE which works fine right? [11:10] The windows wobble, but it's still stuttering. [11:11] Blackflowers: up to you... [11:11] I am unable to login, can any one help pls ? [11:11] how do i enable networking?

[11:12] it should be enought to run [11:12] anyone knows how to showup my panels [11:12] yes, you can ;) [11:12] bison, usually root is disabled. Did you setup root by yourself? [11:12] bison: chrisbster ok boot to grub edit the kernel line and add a 1 at the end. when done booting you'll be at a root terminal type passwd set a password then tytpe telinit 3 to boot the rest of the way into a terminal [11:12] there is an option in installer [11:12] celthunder- i entered with Blackflowers commented on not getting help anywhere for fedora, and this being a ubuntu help only and her being new, i thought best for her to start fresh. [11:12] I'm finding an odd change in behaviour after some updates... if I press the CTRL key, when I release it I get circular animated rings appearing where the mouse pointer is, and also I cannot hold down control and select additional files in a file selection dialog...it lets me use shift but not CTRL... any ideas? [11:12] "Install over"/"Reinstall" [11:12] sth like this [11:13] amd x6 1090t black edition, 8gb ddr-1333, onboard ati 4200. and 8x2tb drives. 1x 1tb drive (boot) [11:13] I am having a problem , anybody willing to help?

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. [11:36] 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] gnome itself is [11:36] The_Phoenix .. i m uning ubuntu 10.10 [11:36] celthunder, thanks so much. I'll try your advice ASAP. Thanks [11:36] but the standard interface is unity in 11.04 [11:36] and i working on openoffice calc [11:36] Infact I'm running ubuntu 11.04 with gnome 3 =D [11:36] gboers, so no huge surprises? [11:37] i m entring 3+ but + not comeing with 3 [11:37] well I did not like unity as much as I do gnome 3 but nope everything worked out of the box [11:37] Am trying to install RT3072/RT3070/RT30xx RALink USB wifi adapter on 10.04. I can't modprobe/insmod the relevant driver. Says invalid symbol. [11:37] what should i do [11:37] hi @all [11:37] whew.. just had a real bad scare upgrading to 11.04. [11:37] Seven_Six_Two: Ten_ten is easier to remember. [11:37] celthunder: evdev exists and I don't have hotplugging. [11:37] gboers, no I tried unity on 10.04. not for me [11:37] #rchavik what's the problem [11:38] could somebody please tell me how I can close my gnome session and go to the login screen from the console? [11:38] hello :D [11:38] I am stuck in a gnome session without title or side bar... [11:38] gboers, upgrade hung mid-way... had to kill processes to continue.. upon restart udev cannot find my disks [11:38] magum: press ctrl alt F1 [11:38] magum: ctrl alt f1 ps and kill the x session [11:39] killing the x session... that is an idea [11:39] I'll try it! === lance is now known as Guest56715 [11:39] hi [11:39] !it [11:39] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [11:39] magum: sudo service gdm restart [11:39] yeah, then log out from there using exit and whatnot [11:39] shcherbak, well it may take a while. but in, ah, about 1,400 releases from now, I'm going to have the awesomest nick [11:40] my nic is a prety good one [11:40] hi, how can i fix the resolution of my splash screen at bootup? [11:40] I'm sure by then .04-.10 will get old, and they'll switch to the more humane .2-.42 series [11:41] *bump* 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. [11:41] sara2010: Please keep questions/answers on one line, and address the recipient. Which + key did you use? [11:41] 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] 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. [11:42] anybody linux expert here? [11:42] geet, aren't we all? ;) [11:42] what? [11:42] ok thanks [11:42] geet: none [11:42] does anyone know how to disable "Recent Documents" in 11.04? [11:42] they should make this chat change colours between people its hard to see who is writing what [11:42] can i install level one wua-0614 (usb) wifi?

[11:48] karthick87, usually it is configurable under Appearance. [11:48] Yes i guess it seems to be a permission issue [11:48] karthick87, and if you are using the old Gnome (not Unity), I think it's somewhere under Preferences, but I can't recall [11:48] argh! "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [11:48] i can't build anything, my make system is extremely broken [11:49] how to configure pppoe in Ubuntu Minimal Installation ?

I haven't gone to 11.04 yet, so I wanted confirmation from at least one person that it can maybe work. I have an nvidia 6800gtoc [11:49] karthick87: gconf-editor and /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename [11:50] karthick87, ah, I suppose you've selected one, but then the change does not apply, right? [11:50] Yeah [11:50] popey, I've downloaded the installer, and was going to try it in vmware, but that won't show me anything useful. unfortunately my only free partition right now is being used by backtrack [11:51] how to configure pppoe in Ubuntu Minimal Installation ?

I remember having an ati card, and discovering after an upgrade (long, long ago) that their new driver cut off support for a whole whack of cards, and xfree updated at the same time and required the new ati driver.

[12:06] trap22, if you're lucky, you can find one in PPA. rhythmbox has lots of gnome dependencies if I'm not mistaken [12:06] trap22, then search for a PPA I suppose, but that is 100% unsupported and at your own risk [12:07] syockit, thanks [12:07] html_inprogress, via additional drivers [12:07] hi, I met a problem about X frozen, when I want to report a bug by apport-bug, it told me try to find a result here. could anybody tell me how to report a bug to lunchpad.net ?

[12:13] trap22, not a directory? [12:14] syockit: yes, not a directory, just a executable file [12:14] executable (application/x-executable) [12:14] okay... in general, how does one fix problems with pulseaudio up and wedging? [12:14] in 9.10 I'd kill pulseaudio and it would sort everything out. [12:14] trap22, what does it output in terminal? maybe it segfaulted [12:15] syockit: cannot execute binary file [12:16] ubottu: lol [12:16] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis.

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] Kre10s: Purchase. Borrow. Steal. [12:31] Kre10s: Hard drives are inexpensive. [12:32] syockit: ok, i will install audacious' [12:32] Kre10s: Because if you're not serious, you'll experience the loss of all your precious data.

[13:15] tyreza: i got part of it. [13:15] Can I put ubuntu back to normal? [13:15] 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] !classic | crystal-cola [13:15] degreefkurt: sudo apt-get install supertuxkart tuxkart supertux xbill [13:15] crystal-cola: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity.

[13:19] LetsGo67: do you mean something like cluster [13:19] Bye bye! [13:19] very simple my question Pici let me explain you again [13:19] tenx:ok thanks [13:19] Chepoll, what does sudo dhclient eth0 show? ie does it get a lease or not [13:20] 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 [13:21] bazhang: operation not permitted, I think I have to chattr resolv.conf , right? [13:21] 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] Chepoll, what did you remove to get in that state? [13:21] to able to find my hard disk [13:21] Hi all, i have a problem with internet connection since i upgraded to 10.10, ifconfig gives me only one interfece 'lo' [13:22] Hi all, i have a problem with internet connection since i upgraded to 10.10, ifconfig gives me only one interfece 'lo' [13:23] bazhang: as in, the permission or not having connection? All I did was dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and -reconfigure keyboard-layout [13:23] Ubuntu just crashed!! thats the new upgade [13:23] crystal-cola: help! [13:23] now im using classic hopefully it wont crash again [13:23] is it clear now ? Pici [13:23] Hi all, i have a problem with internet connection since i upgraded to 10.10, ifconfig gives me only one interfece 'lo' [13:24] Idon't know anything about ifconfig sorry [13:24] tyreza: This should show your disk serial numbers: sudo lshw -C disk [13:24] DOn't upgrade a virtualised ubuntu.. Mine just died :) [13:24] tyreza: Much clearer, I just had to test that command on a computer that wasn't virtualized. [13:24] Hi all, i have a problem with internet connection since i upgraded to 10.10, ifconfig gives me only one interfece 'lo' [13:24] Well don't upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 [13:24] crystal-cola: ? [13:24] tyreza: lshw (why do you need serial?) [13:24] 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] Dark_Star1: i can't upgrade because there is no internet [13:25] h4x0rs: don't keep repeating so often please [13:25] LjL: ok [13:25] h4x0rs: It's not a virtualised ubuntu is it? [13:25] No. [13:25] 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 [13:26] bazhang: also my /etc/network/interfaces has "lo", not "eth0". I never touched that file. [13:26] Dark_Star1: No. [13:26] 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] tyreza, ssh to each and run it [13:26] is there a way to move the top-bar at the bottom? [13:27] i don't want to ssh to each one [13:27] Bochum, in Unity,, I dont think so,, it is not a gnome-panel under unity [13:27] tyreza: Em? list of ip to ssh with exec with lshw with some knowledge of bash (why do you need serial?) [13:27] Hi all, i have a problem with internet connection since i upgraded to 10.10, ifconfig gives me only one interfece 'lo' [13:27] 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 [13:28] but when I click something/touch a key, the anomaly dissappears [13:28] just wanna discover that functionality [13:28] fi that possible [13:28] god i hate 11.04 lyout [13:28] layout* [13:28] tyreza: you can skip one coz it would be ilogical, so you needto ssh only to two (or one if you use one locally) [13:29] Dazzled1, if you are using 11.04 I can verify that it has some video issues on dual monitors... [13:29] h4x0rs: I'm in the middle of something myself.. Give me a few mins and I'll get back to you [13:29] coz_: ah ok, yeah I'm on Natty [13:29] Dazzled1, rather 11.04 Unity [13:29] Dark_Star1: ok, thanks. [13:29] coz_: yeah, I'm still trying to get used to it :) [13:30] the bar on the left is pants <,< [13:30] then how nagios get information without sshing to any computer ? Pici qin High_Priest [13:30] 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] tyreza, snmp [13:31] so it is possible ? [13:31] tyreza: snmp is less likely to be installed and configured than ssh. [13:32] 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] i don't have any experience with snmp [13:33] ugh unity [13:33] makes me sad [13:33] 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] 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] coz_: ah, I see === Guilherme is now known as Guest39457 [13:34] Dazzled1, nux allows for " and efficient XML pricessing" unquote :) [13:34] i know that method don't worry High_Priest , but it is not what i m looking for [13:34] Dazzled1, rather "an efficient" [13:34] processing [13:34] tyreza, then explain exactly what you are looking for and what you are trying to achieve and someone might actually help [13:34] so if i understand correctly, if nagios is present on all 3 compter what i have to do to find my disk ? [13:35] tyreza, snmp doesn't have anything to do with that [13:35] from the command line ? [13:35] exit [13:35] how to check if snmp is present on my computer or not ? [13:36] hi. anyone here also have problem with thunar starting (first run) for about 10 seconds? (ubuntu 11.04) [13:36] Dazzled1, I simply switched to classic gnome ,,, much easier to deal with dual set ups.. [13:36] tomekh, sorry ,, I dont use xfce [13:37] coz_: yeah, think I might consider switching back as well [13:37] coz_: currently this problem also occurs with nautilus. [13:38] Dazzled1, well you dont have to swtich to a previous version...simply log off and log onto classic :) [13:38] hallo [13:38] coz_: ah, yeah, that's what I meant :p [13:38] tomaw, oh! i didnt see that problem,, how does it show itself? [13:39] h4x0rs: are you still here? [13:39] Dazzled1, ph phew! I thought you were going to downgrade :) [13:39] elb0w, oh poor dear, what's wrong? Why don't you try unity-2d instead? [13:40] syockit, it broke one of our systems that runs 3 monitors [13:40] had to roll back to 10.10 [13:40] tomekh, that was meant for you how does it show itself in nautilus? [13:40] and its by far not a developer desktop [13:40] Also the "classic" version just through errors [13:40] elb0w, ah I see so it doesn't play nice with multi-heads? [13:40] how to check if snmp is present on my computer or not ? High_Priest [13:41] !info snmp [13:41] snmp (source: net-snmp): SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) applications. In component main, is optional. Version 5.4.3~dfsg-2ubuntu1 (natty), package size 153 kB, installed size 568 kB [13:41] tyreza: snmpd would need to be running on all the computers you want to query. [13:41] the new ubuntu sucks! Impossible to change/reset properly the desktop effects, even the Prt Screen key doesn't work anymore! I'm really fucked up [13:41] haha [13:41] maxagaz: Please mind your language. [13:41] I am trying to get my windows partition mounted in Ubuntu, but I can not find it in /dev. I installed using the Wubi installer in Windows 7. What am I missing? [13:42] Pici, yes, sorry [13:42] http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html [13:42] and reset other settings.. [13:42] Dr_Willis, I don't want unity, it's not convenient [13:42] AndroiDoughBoy, I cant help with this issue,, I have never used wubi ,, I am sure others here can help [13:42] maxagaz: PrntScrn works fine here [13:42] Dr_Willis, I use the normal gnome [13:43] the only feeling I have about Unity atm is that it's form over function [13:43] Dazzled1, why not for me then after my update then ? [13:43] maxagaz: so state the actual tech support issue. [13:43] After upgrading to 11.04, I find that the kernel crashes about once a day [13:43] is this a known problem? [13:43] so slight problem, ndiswrapper shows that the driver for my 2wire wiress adapter is all there and present, yet no wlan0 starts up.... iwconfig shows no wireless connections and im lost, any help please? [13:44] Cannot change functionality of Super-Key [13:44] 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] I'm so unhappy of this new version [13:45] fi8er1: change it to what? You check at -> http://askubuntu.com/search?q=change+super+key ? [13:45] coz_: who on earth reinstalls from fresh every 6 months? [13:46] coz_: seems like a huge waste of time [13:46] JohnFlux: takes me all of perhaps 40 min. [13:46] But since my main hobby is doing support here. I like to try things out from 'default' settings for the releases also. [13:47] 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] yes it is present snmpd , Pici [13:47] Does anyone know where my windows partition would be mounted in Ubuntu when installed through Wubi? [13:47] AndroiDoughBoy: I think wubi auto mounts it somewhere. Ive seen that asked befor. but i cant rember where exactly [13:47] coz_: I've also noticed that my wireless connection is much weaker. I don't know if it's related to the crashes [13:47] How can I start a program twice from the unity panel? If a program already runs and i klick it again at the unity panel, the window come to foreground. But I like to get a new, second window. [13:48] im unable to set the env variable in ubuntu for grails / i tried setting the path in .bashrc, .bash_profile and .profile resources each time but the command grails i still unknown anything am i missing ?? [13:48] AndroiDoughBoy: try /host/ [13:48] Oins, middle clic [13:48] JohnFlux, I understand and i dont think you are alone with this ,, but I dont have a reason or solution for it ...sorry [13:48] 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] 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] Oins: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/become-a-natty-power-user-in-no-time-using-this-unit-keyboard-shortcuts-wallpaper/ [13:48] learn all the shortcuts :) [13:48] zniavre: ah nice, thank you! [13:49] marcelC, I enable all repositories and so far no issues [13:49] Dr_Willis: thanks [13:49] coz_: thanks for replying [13:49] how to change/reset the desktop effect [13:49] ? [13:49] Dr_Willis Thanks. Thats it. Never would have thought to look there. [13:49] on the normal gnome environment ? [13:49] is there a command line for that ? [13:49] JohnFlux, no problem... hope you can resolve this without a clean install [13:49] Oins: also found -> http://theravingrick.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-effort-at-writing-help-for-unity.html [13:49] for this application [13:49] maxagaz: you mean reset compiz settings back to default? or restart compiz/metacity? [13:50] I don't suppose there's any way to get the search functionality (super-key) from unity into "ubuntu classic"? :) [13:50] Loved it, but had too many problems with Unity otherwise [13:50] Dr_Willis, reset compiz settings back to default [13:50] maxagaz: tghat url i gave mentions the command -> gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 [13:51] ramshot, you mean for application search or file search? [13:51] maxagaz: it might need 'compiz' instead of compiz-1 for the classic desktop [13:51] coz_: Well, it seemed to search both, but either would be better than none :) [13:52] Dr_Willis, that's to disable all effect or set it to default ? [13:52] 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] 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] I keep getting the "Fully charged" status through upower (and so gnome-power-manager) even thoug an upower --dump shows that the battery is not fully charged in numbers. Is there a way to fix is? [13:53] ramshot, it is also available under the Places menu "Search for files " [13:54] Dr_Willis: this helps me a lot. Thank you !

[14:16] newubuntu: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [14:16] its an old laptop [14:16] so it will auto setup my screen again?

[14:17] newubuntu: if you fix the time, when is it incorrect again? [14:17] knows somebody a good way to manipulate the nameserver list when i connect a vpn with network manager? [14:17] newubuntu: That's a motherboard issue. Try updating your motherboard firmware, or even a BIOS update might be needed. [14:17] Halzen: it has 128MB RAM, I'm gonna get a new laptop before I upgrade this one :) [14:17] newubuntu, no need for all caps, even with frustration, possible if they still have it your c2032 battery on the motherboard is dead, replace, reset in bios, and see if fixed [14:17] @jrib: after rebooting of course [14:18] newubuntu: replace the cmos battery? [14:18] PatrickC_Pre2: I hear you. I see some great options pop onto Craigslist almost every day. [14:18] ok, thanks for the suggestion! [14:18] scenario: no vpn connected, use first 127.0.0.1 ns, if it doesnt know the record use the one from dhcp. if vpn is connected try first 127.0.0.1 and if that doesnt find a record try out the one defined by vpn [14:18] rocket16 [14:18] hello rocket16 [14:18] bonjour a tous [14:18] bye all, thanks for the help!

[14:21] yeah, compdoc [14:21] newubuntu: well replace the battery and rule it out [14:21] never heard of it [14:21] sabri_icone: Yeas. [14:21] jpds: [14:21] newubuntu: Wubi won't mess with your motherboard or BIOS. Check the battery and try a motherboard firmware update.

[14:23] We're currently running 10.04 LTS with Evolution 2.28.3 to connect to an Exchange 2003 system via the OWA based exchange connector. I've been unable to find any means of connecting, either MAPI or OWA, to Exchange 2010 which we will be migrating to this summer. I know IMAP will work but am looking for a solution that would get calendaring in as well. Davmail looks possible, but I'd rather not have an extra service to support just to bridge Exchange to [14:23] i'd rather uity, but be able to see my open programs [14:23] sagaci: its not ? an ubuntu_ topicN [14:23] sabri_icone: ce salon est seulement pour problemes techniques avec Ubuntu, #ubuntu-offtopic pour autres choses [14:24] hi, i have sun java installed on 11.04, why if i want to install groovy too ubuntu wants to install openjdk ? [14:24] help anyone? [14:24] LjL: thaks [14:24] i want to use groovy with sun jdk [14:25] DaveAG: Evolution historically doesn't get along with certain Exchange functions. I'd try Thunderbird.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:25] Ali_: Hi again.

[14:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:26] ubuntu_, wait maybe it was ctrl-alt [14:26] newubuntu: I'm trying to. But can only do so if you answer questions [14:27] ctrl+F1 etc === plustwo is now known as plustwo_ [14:27] ctrl+alt+F1 [14:27] ubuntu_, from X, ctrl-alt. from tty, just alt [14:27] etc I believe [14:27] 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 [14:27] newubuntu, don't prefix ! when mentioning nickname [14:28] DaveAG: Any chance this will help? http://gitorious.org/lightning-exchange-provider/pages/Home [14:28] jrib: sry ur last wues got lost in the group...and no there is no problem when i boot windows, shut down, and boot windows again [14:28] Halzen: doesn't seem to have gnome installed. [14:29] How can I do CPU temperature monitoring [14:29] Halzen: Cheers, that definitely looks worth a try [14:29] newubuntu: make linux use local time: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Make%20Linux%20use%20%27Local%27%20time [14:29] ronr_: You have Gnome Shell but not Gnome? I must've missed something. [14:29] Hello, I need help. I would rename file (637-texte.png --> 637.png) but how ? [14:29] Did someone mention witch? Witches shall be lynched [14:29] syockit, i know that because isnt there the shell? i see nothing.. [14:29] jrib: tx, checking ur link out... [14:29] OneSquared: Gnome can do that. Right-click and Rename. [14:30] hello guys [14:30] OneSquared: rename 's/-texte//' *.png [14:30] OneSquared, i a terminal ? [14:30] i have some trouble with 10.04 [14:30] Hello, Yulya. [14:30] OneSquared, mv 637-texte.png 637.png [14:30] Halzen, There are a lot of file :/ about 248. [14:30] mv 637-texte.png 637.png [14:30] i make backup with tar, unpack it, install grub [14:30] ubuntu_ no login at all? just blank? but you have X (GNOME/KDE/etc)? [14:30] Halzen: I have a Gnome shell? when did I say I have a Gnome shell? :) [14:30] fix fstab http://paste2.org/p/1398614 [14:30] OneSquared: Open up the folder in Nautilus and Ctrl-F. [14:31] on first boot i got http://touhou.ru/upload/6a12b415e03838b3682c25ea0fc379a8.png [14:31] and nothing happen [14:31] ronr_: My bad, you said shell and I jumped to Gnome Shell for some reason. [14:31] hi all [14:31] howto install Gnome 3 [14:31] Halzen: no idea what kind of shell :) [14:32] ronr_: Try these in terminal for your CPU and RAM: "free -m" and "cat /proc/cpuinfo" [14:32] 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] 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] Halzen: right, thanks! I forgot the commands. [14:32] syockit, yes are all blank im using gnome, for add how i do it? [14:33] ronr_: Good. Sorry for the confusion. [14:33] Halzen: I blame myself. I wasn't clear enough. [14:33] ubuntu_ tty should've been installed by default [14:33] 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 [14:34] Halzen: free -m gives me 492 total. don't remember what that maens. [14:34] I will like use sed but it's difficult... [14:34] ubuntu_ see if you have tty1.conf in /etc/init/ [14:34] ronr_: That reads 492 MB of RAM, meaning you have 512MB installed. [14:34] OneSquared: you need to describe what sort of rule you want to use to rename them- [14:35] Halzen: that's.... pathetic. [14:35] Halzen: thanks :) [14:35] syockit, if i install tty then work like other distro? [14:35] ronr_: It's a bit under par, yeah. xD [14:36] Halzen: how do I know how many cores the cpu has? if it prints out only one cpu it means only one core? [14:37] syockit, yes ive this file there... [14:37] 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. [14:38] 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] 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] sabri_icone: http://lpi.org/eng/certification/the_lpic_program/lpic_1/exam_101_sample_questions [14:38] Halzen: no cores. if I run 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep core' it prints out nothing. [14:39] ubuntu_ the command 'ps' will list running processes. If you do 'ps -a | grep getty', do you get a list, or nothing? [14:39] ronr_: LANG=C grep core /proc/cpuinfo [14:39] ronr_: That's odd. O.o [14:39] Is it possible to find distributions based on Ubuntu using GNOME 3 is currently [14:39] llutz: meh? [14:40] 10.04 and 10.10 use Gnome. [14:40] llutz: that gave out nothing as well. [14:40] 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] Thanks you llutz [14:40] Halzen: it's a brand new server ;) [14:40] jrib: ur solution didnt quite work :( [14:40] 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] Sidewinder1, and 11.04 uses it partly [14:40] 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] newubuntu: in what way? [14:41] Restricted drivers shows nvidia as activated but not running. (I've seen this might be a bug). [14:41] fredrik__ it's probably a .desktop entry [14:41] amr_, no [14:41] 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] Hi [14:41] newubuntu: well try the other option [14:41] fredrik__ maybe quite tricky to find tutorial for that one, seeing google doesn't recognize the . [14:41] jrib: what other option? [14:42] dmesg doesn't suggest that the module was kicked out. [14:42] newubuntu: if it currently says "no", then change it to "yes" [14:42] ronr_: Let's try a more specific terminal command: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l [14:42] How do i disable screen blanking properly... setting "Option" "DPMS" "no" in xorg.conf did not work. [14:42] sal [14:42] fredrik__ if you "ls /usr/share/applications" you get a list of system-installed .desktop files [14:42] jrib: exactly what i tried to do, but ubuntu says i dont have permission to make changes in the file [14:42] 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] sa [14:42] 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] hello [14:42] newubuntu: use "gksudo gedit /etc/default/rcS" [14:42] Halzen: that gave out 1 [14:43] fuck you [14:43] judgen: xset -dpms [14:43] ronr_: Well, then you have one CPU. We're getting...somewhere. [14:43] how to stop command apt-get when it running [14:43] Halzen: the question is where ;) [14:43] what is the command ./setup .sh used for exactly ? [14:43] please [14:43] 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] fredrik__ if you want to make your own, put it in "~/.local/share/applications" [14:43] 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] kevinyoung_: ctrl+c [14:44] llutz, still get screen blanking every five minutes without activity... [14:44] 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] fredrik__ hence the .desktop file [14:44] what is the command ./setup .sh used for exactly ? === fran is now known as Guest1266 [14:44] syockit, Thanx [14:44] fredrik__ I'm pretty sure Unity also searches it [14:44] syockit, Ok. Think I understand... its not easy this... In Gnome all wine apps was installed to the startmenu in wine folder [14:44] o thanks [14:44] ronr_: Any chance you can Pastebin the output of "less /proc/cpuinfo"? [14:45] guys, whole qestion in one line: i make tar file from live system, unpack it on new disk, install grub, fix fstab like here http://paste2.org/p/1398614 and on first reboot i got : http://touhou.ru/upload/6a12b415e03838b3682c25ea0fc379a8.png and nothing happen [14:45] jrub: done! but ill be able to check if it worked the next time i boot, thnkx anyways man, tx a lot! [14:45] what is the command ./setup .sh used for exactly ? [14:46] around 100 bad sectors is not so bad right? [14:46] this the best channel to deal with a server upgraded to natty which won't now go beyond a grub prompt?

[14:46] graph and all [14:46] what is the command ./setup .sh used for exactly ? [14:47] nerdshell: with a space in it like that? a syntax error [14:47] Halzen: http://pastebin.com/yNsLcQYC [14:47] nerdshell: running executables ./executable-file sh executable-file [14:47] nerdshell: ./setup.sh would execute a script named setup.sh [14:47] nerdshell: if you mean "./setup.sh" it just runs setup.sh which can do whatever it wants [14:47] syockit, Ok, in my .local/share/applications I have a bunch of files like: wine-extension-gif.desktop nothing more... What should I put here? [14:48] hay [14:48] ronr_: Well, I don't know why it isn't showing the cores, but I know that CPU to be a quad-core. [14:48] ubuntu installer doesnt seem to see my hard drive [14:48] anyone knows from shell scripts ? :/ [14:48] can anyone help me [14:48] nerdshell: setup.sh is more than likely a script that will setup or install something on your system. Be careful. [14:48] Halzen: It's a bit weird that it has only 512MB RAM, no? [14:48] Hello all. [14:48] 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] 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.. [14:49] ronr_: Yeah, that's odd, too. Did you build this machine, or are you renting it? [14:49] usr13: is it the same as the make && configure && make install ? [14:49] it works fine with windows, but ubuntu doesnt see the hard drive [14:49] what are the applications that use jamendo music service , I know rhythmbox, amarok and clementine [14:49] Halzen: neither, I just work here ;) started working here this week. it's a new company too so the server only got here a couple of days ago. trying to see what's what. [14:49] anirban ru dere [14:49] hi all [14:49] fredrik__ I just restarted my unity-applications-daemon and it manages to find my custom .desktop. So I suppose it works. After making one .desktop file, you may have to relogin [14:49] helllo anirban [14:50] syockit, thanks again but for add only 2 tty?i know the comand please [14:50] What shortcut shows desktop in Unity? [14:50] cyber life [14:50] syockit, ok.. Im trying to relogin then === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [14:50] nerdshell: No. But if it is indeed an executable scirpt, you can look and see what it will do. cat setup.sh [14:50] fredrik__ do you already have the .desktop entry? [14:50] Halzen: apparently, it's supposed to serve git and redmine. it still feels a bit low on RAM. [14:50] please a proper RDP client with gui example?? [14:50] anirban [14:51] Anyone have had a problem whit compiz in Ubuntu 11.04 [14:51] syockit, yes. In a subfolder of the .local/share/applications lays a .desktop file for my windows app [14:51] ronr_: Well, something doesn't seem quite right with the configuration. I guess if it's working we shouldn't mess with your work machine, but still... xP [14:51] ah, I got it, the software is installed by the setup script, not with a makefile [14:51] usr13: ah, I got it, the software is installed by the setup script, not with a makefile [14:51] syockit, rebooting.. brb [14:51] i don't get Unity running even though my login chooser session says Unity; I have to restart the window manager with Fusion [14:51] fredrik__ okay go on and relogin, then try to find that file [14:51] nerdshell: ... but that is not to say that it won't install an application in much the same way as ./configure ; make ; make install [14:51] ive got a problem with my RS232 Card: the most time I get the error "Control signals read: Input-/Output Error" it makes no difference which programm i use for accessing ttyS1. [14:51] here are the messages from lspci and gtkterm: http://pastebin.com/Nbcv80eh i am using ubuntu 10.4 LTS [14:51] !bazhang [14:51] nerdshell: Yes, you are correct [14:51] Halzen: well, I'll ask the guy who ordered the machine. it just seems like a really odd configuration. [14:51] !bazhang [14:52] Halzen: thanks for all the help :) [14:52] this is inside an .sh.. is there any error on the line ? because its doesnt start ---> /home/alex/.nuke/Nuke6.0 -b %f [14:52] ronr_: No problem. :) [14:52] ubuntu_, sorry I'm not sure what's wrong there. so you ctrl-alt-f1 and nothing comes out? Does it stay in GNOME/KDE/XFCE/Unity/whatever or does it become black screen? [14:52] usr13: okay, thanks a lot, actually, it's a pretty trusted software, but thanks for the cat script.sh hint, didn't know about it [14:53] Halzen: on a different note, I updated my ubuntu box at home from 10.11 to 11.04 and suddenly xbmc videos are choppy. any idea why? :p [14:53] nerdshell: NP [14:53] hi [14:53] i don't get Unity running even though my login chooser session says Unity; I have to restart the window manager with Fusion. Is there a sesson file that needs tweaking? [14:53] ronr_: Well, let me get this out of the way real quick: I never recommend doing a straight upgrade from one version to another. I always prefer backing up the /home folder and doing a clean install. [14:53] usr13: it wont be possible to see what is inside the script using a text editor ? [14:53] hello all: how do i remove or uninstall the onscreen keyboard that comes up when my screensaver is active (only when i am unlocking the screensaver) [14:53] How would one go about running both FF3.6 and FF4 ? [14:54] On 11.04 [14:54] what is the channel for open discussion about Ubuntu please ? [14:54] hello has anyone managed to implement bridged networking in ubuntu with a vbox guest os?? I need to be able to contact the guest os from the network [14:54] 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] 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] nerdshell, come to #ubuntu-offtopic. closely related to ubuntu, but not #ubuntu enough [14:55] nerdshell: usr13: it wont be possible to see what is inside the script using a text editor ? [14:55] Halzen: I've heard that recommendation before, but it seems a bit odd, imho. an OS upgrade shouldn't be a problem. A fresh install feels like much more trouble. === sleepdeprivation is now known as KolakCC [14:55] nerdshell: Yes it will [14:56] Ubuntu noob here. I have installed xp/v/7 on a box and then i installed ubuntu with /boot, /swap, root and /home. I am /now/ trying to install Kubuntu and would like to have it use the first boot, swap and home partitions. Is this doable/practical? [14:56] 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] 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] 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] Silekonn: why install ubuntu and kubuntu? Just install kubuntu-desktop package on your ubuntu install [14:56] 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] jrib: The box is a demo system. [14:57] Halzen: right, but wouldn't I need to reinstall all my software? [14:57] syockit: So grab from mozilla site, extract to /opt or what not and use new profile ? [14:57] ronr_: Normally, yes. Luckily, AptOnCD is here to help: http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ [14:57] 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? [14:58] Dink, yup. I don't know of a deb package that will not conflict [14:58] 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] 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] 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] syockit: thanks [14:58] Halzen: ronr_ Every 3 years if you stick with LTS releases only [14:59] usr13: I guess I should be more careful with my phrasing: upgrading a distro holds the risk of one or two of many potential problems. [14:59] jrib: is the theme for ubuntu used with ubuntu's desktop manager (excuse my lack of terminology)? [14:59] edbian: Yick. x3 [14:59] jrib: It needs to look identical to cust. systems. [14:59] syockit, in ctrl-alt-f1 is a X mode,where i am.... [14:59] Halzen: I use Debian! :P [14:59] edbian: Sounds about right. :P [14:59] I think safe-upgrade stops a lot of problems [14:59] Silekonn: "cust. systems"? [15:00] jrib: customers have ubuntu and so I am learning it. [15:00] edbian: that feels like staying back in time :) [15:00] Silekonn: well with ubuntu you'll have gdm whereas kubuntu users would see kdm. That would be different, yes [15:00] syockit, i know that exist a comand just for add other virtual shell but i dunno :( [15:01] ronr_: Halzen In my opinion, it's usually better to just fix what you have. Yes, I would agree, one or two potential problems may occur. If you are logged into one of these support channels, what you see is problems problems problems. 90% of the people that are upgrading are having no problems, but people are not reporting success stories here, they are reporting problems. [15:01] hi. is there a tool to track(=txt or graphic) the cpu usage of a selected task? [15:01] ubuntu_, wow I haven't seen one that use f1 for X before. Wait, what about arch... err anyways so how about f2 and f3 or others? btw just for the record my X is on 8, and upstart output on 7 [15:01] how do I resolve this http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=6fd2d077ba&view=att&th=12fbade30661f545&attid=0.1&disp=inline&realattid=f_gna7mksp0&zw [15:01] user82: top -p [15:01] jrib: can you answer my q about partitions? [15:01] ronr_, edbian: A common philosophy among Linux users is that the cutting edge is overrated. I personally disagree, but stability is welcoming too. [15:01] Halzen: The cutting edge is the most fun! [15:02] Halzen: imho, stability is overrated. one of the reasons I use Firefox Nightly rather than stable/beta/aurora :p [15:02] hello, i would like to check a burned ubuntu cd (dont have iso) using MD5SUM, anyone know if can it be done? [15:02] jatt does it make a log? [15:02] hi from russia, people! :) [15:02] usr13: well, I don't know where to begin in fixing the issue [15:02] 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 ?? [15:02] 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] bperu: You still there? [15:02] edbian: Hi, sure [15:02] user82: you can use it in combination with the -b flag [15:02] user82: and redirect the thing to a file [15:03] 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] ubuntu_ try "getty 8 38400 tty2"? [15:03] 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] 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] FreeHCK: Hello, what's the temperature in there ? =) [15:03] 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] 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] 21 C [15:03] 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. [15:04] 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] edbian: so I have bash per default, in my case or /bin/bash is the same, right? [15:04] try md5sum /dev/cdrom [15:04] bperu: My second suggestion is to just do a normal install [15:04] 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] nerdshell: yes exactly [15:04] ronr_: A media center won't be too picky, so there's little reason for you to be, too. :P [15:04] Halzen: I think you mean 'unaltered' [15:04] !gnome3 [15:04] 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] mbeierl: I know to use a different / :) but I am asking if overwriting boot, swap and home is acceptable.? [15:04] 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) [15:05] 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] edbian: how can I change my interpreter ? maybe, moving from bash to zsh ?? [15:05] Halzen: right. just needed something that can use the ION board I have, and that's it basically. [15:05] 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] is there any error here? it wont run (its inside a .sh file) ------> /home/alex/.nuke/Nuke6.0 -b %f [15:05] bperu: The normal install actually has a better chance of working well. Wubi is a bit of a hack. [15:05] edbian: Oddly enough, I meant unadulterated. It's early here. [15:05] 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] nerdshell: You set it in /etc/passwd [15:05] mbeierl: I understand. I will share the home and swap partitions and recreate the others. [15:05] Halzen: :P [15:05] edbian: okay, needs a reboot ? [15:05] ubuntu how to make 3d desktop please? [15:05] Silekonn: I would keep boot separate if you want the two installed on separate roots. [15:06] nerdshell: I think so. Perhaps just log out and back in [15:06] usr13: Yep. The fresh-install-versus-upgrade is a fight I see picked every time I'm on here. [15:06] 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] edbian: okya, thanks a lot, but actually what is the difference between shell and interpreter ? [15:06] bperu: Umm, virtualbox might be able to let you do that. [15:06] 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] bperu: But I don't think that will be easier or safer than just installing normally :) [15:07] 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] QUESTION--- how to make flash videos run smoothly on ubuntu, youtube videos get stuck when changed to full screen mode sometimes... [15:07] jrib: Thanks for the help. [15:07] Hi all. Any way to get the damned battery icon into the Unity panel ? [15:07] bperu: Really it is not hard or confusing :) [15:07] mbeierl: Thanks for the help. [15:07] edbian, Halzen: I'm fresh out of USB sticks and CD-Rs, that's why I was looking for a way to keep it all "inside" the computer :) [15:07] brothers how to make 3D desktop ? [15:08] 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] 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] what does etc stands for ? [15:08] where can I get linux trainers in India? [15:08] 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] I'm out, guys. Enjoy your Natty bugs. :P [15:08] Halzen, edbian: Thanks for your time and help. [15:08] laters all [15:09] 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] brb in 1 minute... I would like to PM anyone about my firefox issue in Ubuntu on my flash drive [15:09] this room is flying! [15:09] what does etc stand for ?

[15:51] when [15:51] Dark_Star1, like I said - bridges are easy [15:51] iggyology: theres also 'firefox --help' if its a user setting issue, you can try the failsafe, or other profiles. [15:51] firefox opened just fine this way!!!!! [15:51] weird [15:51] Jenk: chown only works on unix-filesystems. for ntfs/vfat you'll have to use mount-options (uid/gid) [15:51] compdoc: why gksudo? [15:51] iggyology: you dident run it with gksudo did you? [15:51] iggyology, you will never need a panel or widgets ever again ;) [15:51] llutz, Doesn't work. It's 'fuseblk' .

[15:51] llua, Is 'fuseblk' a Unix fs ? [15:51] Dr_Willis: exactly [15:51] kubu2: because it opens up a root like finder windoww [15:51] kubu2, thats what ppl are saying you should use to run a graphical app [15:51] Dr_Willis: what is gksudo ? [15:52] !fuse [15:52] 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] Jenk: fuse is a tool to do special kionds of filesystems. [15:52] Jenk: like accessing a .zip file as if it was a directory. [15:52] !ntfs-3g | Jenk so it's ntfs most likely [15:52] Jenk so it's ntfs most likely: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [15:52] compdoc: no need as you want firefox to run as normal user [15:52] the sound works at bootup for a minute or two then stops working [15:53] kubu2, good point [15:53] is there a command which will tell me active services on host, which is located on a local network [15:53] 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] so it will auto setup my screen again? [15:53] 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] Dark_Star1: no need to run as root [15:53] Dr_Willis, Thanks for that... [15:53] 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 [15:54] llutz, Alright, I'll transfer it to a Linux fs and try again.

[16:04] jrib: I should put it another way. I have never used any, so I don't know what my options are. Googling xfce+tiling doesn't reveal much; I think the only name I spot right away is Xmonad. I would just like to know if that's my only option. [16:04] I loaded Firefox on ubuntu... I click on the icon and it just pulses.. but doesn't open.. so I... [16:05] rpk: not for me. [16:05] rpk, nope [16:05] opened a terminal window, typed "firefox" and.. [16:05] k_sze: personally I like xmonad. Awesome is another popular one [16:05] it opened just fine..

[16:05] http://www.ubuntu.com/download Shows the drupal site offline [16:05] rpk: took a little bit here, but I'm having some other network issues. [16:06] jrib: lol, what a name.

When I login with unity I only get a background image.. nothing else. I think I messed up in compiz-config. I tried to delete the .compiz folder in my home but that didnt help.. how do I solve this? [16:07] no [16:07] well, that's part of the question [16:07] k_sze: I remember reading the name came from barney's character in HIMYM [16:07] rpk: Sorry, was only teasing. Couldn't resist. [16:07] you can't do it [16:07] hi guys i'm having problem with rfkill [16:07] hey guys I'm trying to install ubuntu but my processor overheats so I'm trying wubi but when it I still get the problem. is there a way to scale cpu frequency for the duration of the install [16:07] everytime I poweroff my laptop [16:08] it disable the wifi [16:08] I was reading about making a grub boot disk http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/GRUB_PXE_network_boot [16:08] fredrik_: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html [16:08] if I log in with clasic and turn ubuntu plugin on in compiz-settings I get the unity launcher back with my settings.. but not the panel [16:08] Im having a issue with my graphics drivers in ubuntu [16:08] Jessica903: pxe is for wired lan [16:08] Dr_Willis: Maybe if you used a wireless bridge you could. But otherwise, I don't think so. [16:08] Hi i'm running natty with gnome3 and cant seem to find where to set up keyboard shortcuts and help woule be greatly appreciated [16:08] In short: 1-loaded ubuntu on flash drive, 2-reloaded Firefox to try and fix issue of Firefox not opening 3-still wouldn't open, 4-opened a terminal window typed "firefox" and it opened. I'm looking to pm someone who thinks they know what is wrong. [16:08] I want to learn ubuntu so I can start helping other noobs. [16:08] hi i m gwtting blank screen after upgrade pls help. tried nomodset. no result [16:09] iggyology: reloaded how? and how loaded on flash drive? [16:09] Jessica903: http://etherboot.org/wiki/wirelessboot [16:09] I loaded using the flash installer file that was recommended on ubuntu's website [16:09] iggyology: could be the launcher is doing somtjhing weird. make a new launcher icon for it perhaps [16:09] hello [16:09] hi [16:09] heh i forgot about gpxe [16:09] 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] I did in fact drag a new icon into the bar, but that didn't work either [16:09] however, there are only two families of wlan cards supported [16:09] upgraded to 11.04, removed unity, installed gnome, now I can't select checkboxes, and sometimes clicking buttons fails [16:09] Whenever i'm connected to mumble server, which runs on my laptop (ubuntu 11.04) every now and then it disconnects briefly everyone who is connected to it [16:09] Basically, I wanna boot a static CD with PXE enabled Grub, and then grab my boot image wirelessly. anyone done this? [16:10] unity broke, after enabling desktop cube, i see no panels, no dock....no shortcuts [16:10] Jessica903: that can be done [16:10] all i have access to is desktop icons! [16:10] zulax: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html [16:10] hey guys I'm trying to install ubuntu but my processor overheats so I'm trying wubi but when it I still get the problem. is there a way to scale cpu frequency for the duration of the install [16:10] i'd imagine you'll need an initrd though [16:10] where you'll load your wlan drivers [16:10] Really? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/656526 [16:10] Ubuntu bug 656526 in e2fsprogs (Ubuntu) "Device or resource busy while trying to open" [Undecided,New] [16:10] I have a couple of really old intel wireless cards I wanna use instead of throwing them away [16:10] whom do i have to report a wrong time on my computer (ubuntu 11.04) ... you see -> at the "clock" you can set a few times from various time zones ... i noticed one to be totally wrong so far (or since when does the East coast of the US almost use the same time as e.g. the UK does?) [16:11] hey guys I'm trying to install ubuntu but my processor overheats so I'm trying wubi but when it I still get the problem. is there a way to scale cpu frequency for the duration of the install [16:11] tried removing nviia drivers, didnt helped [16:11] is pming Jenk right now.. [16:11] nanog, can you point me in the right direction? I'm kinda weak here... [16:12] 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] tried modifying kernel img n headers, no result [16:12] you will just want to create an initrd (squashfs) that includes your wlan drivers [16:12] I have sir and its really difficult to install as it shuts down [16:12] someone knows how to enable the kmix channels and my mic again under lmint 10 kde? (worked under kubuntu 10.04) [16:12] I would just modofy en existing bootable setup [16:12] its an old laptop but is there a way around it? [16:12] mado: Set the time correctly and sync the system time with the hardware clock. [16:13] usr13, ... am new to ubuntu ... how do i go about that? [16:13] 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] if you're just wanting to have a diskless boot [16:13] Dr_Willis, thanks that was so annoying [16:13] is there any kind of "make boot disk" utility that will add the drivers I select? [16:13] then you should just load the system via nfs or tftp [16:13] one moment ... i'll be right back [16:14] no, this is not for beginners [16:14] or even intermediates ;) [16:14] mado: Set the system time correctly and then sync the hardware clock with it. sudo hwclock -w [16:14] nanog, what about stubborn biatches who wanna learn? [16:15] i suggest reading all you can about doing it with a LAN adapter [16:15] then apply the differences [16:15] there is stuff available that is pretty easily slapped together [16:15] to do this via LAN [16:15] cool [16:16] mado: sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org [16:16] u8 and u10 can both ID my old PCMCIA WLAN card, so I have faith I can get it working. === lance is now known as Guest33986 === budgee is now known as mbali_ntuli [16:17] mado: and then hwclock -w [16:17] Dr_Willis, i dont think the shortcuts(terminal) is still working [16:17] mado: sudo hwclock -w [16:17] openntpd is a much better solution for maintaining an accurate clock: sudo apt-get install openntpd [16:18] mado: But make sure your timezone is correct. [16:18] Hello, so I'm wondering about something, in my previous server setup the directory public_html used to be created for all users, what made that happen, is it an apache module or is it a file I changed and just can't recall it? [16:18] Linux is illegal its breaks several patents just has google found out [16:18] radios.. ha ha u Troll [16:18] Radios: we don't care. [16:18] Screen saver has me frozen with just a mouse arrow working. What to try now ? [16:18] Radios: illegal in what country? [16:18] Radios: Micor$oft's patents, no doubt :/ [16:18] OH NO! LINUX ILLEGAL? [16:18] we're going to use Linux anyway [16:19] Radios, that's a civil fraction. It's not illegal === mbali_ntuli is now known as budgee [16:19] but then again, don't feed the troll [16:19] * Dr_Willis violates the eula. [16:19] sorry, ziz... couldn't help myself [16:19] after following a guide similar to http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml (it was a script) my dell vostro now only displays in 1024*768 and unity does not detect the graphics card. any ideas? [16:19] I hear ya [16:19] you guys loving unity, or most of you in classic gnome? [16:20] brilldoctor: i always disable plymouth [16:20] guys: I installed wine, and I'm looking for wine configuration tool? === lance_ is now known as Guest9353 [16:20] QuartZo, I love Unity === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [16:20] livingdaylight: Applications > Wine > COnfigure wine [16:20] better gnome [16:20] QuartZo: i really have no issues with Unity. other then i keep goind DOWN to where my panel use to be to change apps. :) [16:20] livingdaylight: theres a winecfg progrfam installed with wine.

[16:20] Dr_Willis: what can i do to get ubuntu to reconise the graphics again [16:21] I couldnt get Unity going in VM, or Unity 2D mode either for that. [16:21] As a matter of fact, I installed Unity 2d on my older laptop [16:21] brilldoctor: try booting with plymouth tiotally disabled. I have no idea what that script may jhave done. [16:21] is still working with "Jenk" on my flash drive ubuntu issues [16:21] * zizban is a Unity freak of nature [16:21] Dr_Willis, yes, used to find it under applications but having trouble with the new release [16:21] mado: To change / correct your timezone use: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata [16:21] livingdaylight: use the terminal/search feature of the sidebar. [16:21] iggyology, Please, sir. Your a bit too loud. [16:21] livingdaylight, winetricks i think [16:21] "Unity Freak Of Nature" is the name of my new band [16:22] Dr_Willis: dont think that will make any difference. if it helps its a intel gma card [16:22] winetricks is differnt then 'winecfg' [16:22] hi all, just popping in [16:22] brilldoctor: I thought those guides were for getting Plymouth working with nvidia cards. [16:22] found it... [16:23] oh so thats no what his talk about????? well its a try ,,, [16:23] html_inprogress, winetricks is something different still. Requires separate installation [16:23] 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] winecfg was what I was looking for, but couldn't remember the name, which made finding it hard. [16:23] * Dr_Willis wonders what ctrl-shift U does.. [16:24] Dr_Willis: i didnt realise that! [16:24] Dr_Willis: In firefox it views source code. [16:24] livingdaylight, its WinE based" ,, well im just sayng it maybe youll need it === maelstrom is now known as Guest24631 [16:24] Hmm.. heh cant see ctrl-shift-u doing much of anything some sort of mode/thing in the terminal [16:24] Anyone here use Audacious? I can't seem to resize the playlist window... it keeps jumping around... lol [16:24] later need it [16:24] Dr_Willis: No, I'm wrong, it's just Ctrl-u [16:25] Dr_Willis: what should i do? reinstall [16:25] funnylookinhat, I think it's a bug with gtk and Unity because the Gimp acts the same way [16:25] by the way cntrl + shift is view source in chrome [16:25] ctrl even === sebrock is now known as sebrock|away [16:25] zizban, I'm running Classic Gnome on 11.04 - would that still affect it? Also - POS unity... >_< [16:26] hm [16:26] anyone else?? [16:26] since when has Startup Disk Creator started to ask password for erasing the usb stick? I'm fairly sure this was not happening a few weeks ago... [16:26] I've managed to rescue a broken grub menu after upgrading to natty [16:26] [16:26] however I have no console now [16:26] just a cursor [16:26] 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] I can ssh in [16:27] 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] nothing seems "hung" [16:27] Dr_Willis: so what should i do? reinstall [16:27] jmkgreen: alt-ctrl-f1 through f6 gets to no consoles? [16:27] brilldoctor_: maybe easiest fix. [16:27] hello [16:27] brilldoctor_: unless the script has some undoo feature [16:27] ok is it possible to keep data [16:27] Dr_Willis: interesting [16:27] Dr_Willis: only after hitting alt+f1 do I get a console [16:27] Dr_Willis: tried the uninstall scripy [16:27] script [16:28] jmkgreen: So none of them work? Ctrl-Alt-F1 or F2, F3, F4, F5, F6 [16:28] Dr_Willis: is it possible to keep my docs if i reinstall [16:28] usr13: isn't tty1 supposed to come up by default these days? [16:28] am trying to add keyboard shortcuts (via system-settings ==> keyboard) but the (+ -) buttuns are dimmed any ideas as to how to fix this ... my user account has admin privledges [16:28] I am having problems with my network card [16:28] jmkgreen: seems like its going to the X 'display' which is alt-ctral-f7 by default but X is not running. [16:29] Dr_Willis: this is a headless virtual machine - no X [16:29] btw am running natty + gnome3 [16:29] i reset unity and unity is back, but the keyboard shortcuts dont seem to work [16:29] jmkgreen: then how are you seeing a console at all? [16:29] I'm looking at a vmware console [16:29] upgraded to 11.04, removed unity, installed gnome, now I can't select checkboxes, and sometimes clicking buttons fails [16:29] jmkgreen: ok in vbox.. :) [16:29] its not really headless then. just Xless. [16:29] pwrusr: is there a option to authenticate? (im in windows at the moment due to graphics issues) [16:29] so cant look [16:29] no [16:29] Dr_Willis: just had to rescue it having upgraded from 10.10. This really is not going well [16:29] someone knows how to enable the kmix channels and my mic again under lmint 10 kde? (worked under kubuntu 10.04) tried already the alsaconf method, doesn't work. [16:29] "brilldoctor_ ping" [16:29] blink, Have you tried choosing "Classic Ubuntu" in the gnome login manager... ?? Gnome should have already been installed w/ your upgrade. [16:30] jmkgreen: check teh grub options - seem to recall some 'handoff' option that mentione the console 7, not sure what it really does [16:30] whys someone going [16:30] brilldoctor_ ping [16:30] v3nd3tta``: linux mint has its own support channels. [16:30] brilldoctor_ no [16:30] Dr_Willis: but there no one responds [16:31] v3nd3tta``: sounds like a good reason to NOT use mint then. [16:31] we cant support every variant here v3nd3tta`` thats the channel rules. [16:32] ola [16:32] me qereis chupar el ano [16:32] no gracias [16:32] ;) [16:32] can anyone confirm that it is normal behaviour for Startup Disk Creator to ask for password?

It's a suggestion for ubuntu. windows has the same problem. - Say there is a "copying" process happening. The only choice is continue (donothing) or abort (cancel). I think that aPAUSE would be helpful. 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] LAcan, that's weird. When I put in a CD it appears om the desktop. [17:32] MitchM: this page seems to be more closely related. http://serverfault.com/questions/36040/installing-php-5-3-on-ubuntu-server [17:32] some please tell me how to access icon properties [17:32] ok. [17:32] I've googled and searched gconf-editor and compizconfig settings, but I have not found any answer: how can I change the Super+T = Open trash folder keyboard shortcut in Unity?

This option is broken because whatever you pick it is always the rule that new windows get the active windows's layout. ....????

[17:40] Souperman, oh heck... I'm reading an article right now about it!!! Man, I had no idea I was using something that hadn't been debugged yet! [17:40] since mathml can be rendered just as well as latex, only has actual semantic content [17:40] nemo: i see. so why would anyone care to use latex [17:40] MethedMan: used to be what people used [17:40] How do you get rid of the splash screen so you can see what your system is doing at boot [17:40] MethedMan: and if you are generating equations, there were editors to support it [17:40] Souperman, here's the article: http://mybroadband.co.za/news/columns/20018-Ubuntu-Unity-not-all-that-unifying.html [17:41] Is there an 11.4 netbook edition?

No fancy "desktop environment" for me. [17:56] gnome-do for app launching, awn dock for app management, conky for system stats. [17:57] So, eternicode, please help me to understand if your approach is superior to a fancy desktop [17:57] or if you're just settled in a comfort zone [17:58] it's very much a comfort zone :) [17:58] but I would say it's lighter than having all the DE libraries etc loaded on every startup [17:58] eternicode, So do you know if there is a desktop environment, say that your friends use and are happy with?

[17:59] lighter is good for a netbook [17:59] Got this problem on 2 VMs now. [17:59] Where are packages downloaded by apt-get (when using download-only)? [17:59] or... how do I find a particular deb file? [17:59] usr13: /var/cache/apt/archives [17:59] LXDE, Gnome, and KDE are all tried and true.

[18:02] etotheipi: just log onto gnome classic if you dislike unity [18:02] not because I don't like it, but because I like what I have. [18:02] aneeshep, I use a custom collection of programs, no DE. [18:02] *no stock DE [18:03] 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] XFCE I think is slightly more heavy than LXDE, but it's good as well.

Nothing happened at reboot.. Does "startup apps" work the same when running unity? [18:17] iggyology: possibly, give other DEs and they may suit you better. Gnome is default but it doesn't make it any better than the others etc [18:17] my front panel audio connection is not working after I restarted, any help please? [18:18] !edge flipping [18:18] I'm just wondering if I can use a virtual cd drive to run the ISO file for the ubuntu install....for instance, daemon tools lite. [18:20] mang0: you can boot isos with grub2, also you can put the iso on an usb-drive [18:20] grub2> [18:20] USB isnt an option [18:20] fredrik_: no idea. if that command needs to be ran as root. that may be the issue. [18:20] iceroot what is grub2? [18:20] I'm trying to install ubuntu, long story XD [18:20] Dr_Willis, ok solved it with a uggly hack.. just put sleep 5 before the command in rc.local... Not pretty but it workes. [18:20] fredrik_: you could try 'gksudo that-fancy-command' and see if it asks for the root password. and works. [18:20] mang0: is there already something running on the pcß [18:21] fredrik_: oh yea. rc.local running BEFOR X gets started could be an issue [18:21] fredrik_: you may want to have it sleep longer. [18:21] does pasting my .xsession-errors expose my confidential information? [18:21] iceroot what do you mean? [18:21] just wondering [18:21] does anyone know of a network monitor that would run from the system tray? I need some kind of replacement for conky that would work with unity...

Does each disk display as an individual disk or is it like an iSCSI target? [18:24] orly? [18:24] iceroot the installer won't detect them. [18:24] JBOD or SLED [18:24] coz_ what do you mean....*confused* [18:25] ciao [18:25] mang0, the mini is just 19 megs... installs from the net,, aka netinstal [18:25] so it just installs straight from the net?

[18:30] 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] mang0: just burn a cd or use usb [18:30] mang0: you can use debootstrap if you already have a running linux-sys [18:30] mang0, no not that I am aware of,, you are not able to burn cd?

[18:32] mang0: because you are using fakeraid or your controller is not supported or your harddrives are not detected from the bios [18:32] 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] totally messed up Package Manager [18:32] coz_: yeah unetbootin will take the ISO as far as I remember [18:32] 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?? [18:33] iceroot would I know if I was using fakeraid? cos I don't think I am....I think it is my controller [18:33] @Pici: Great :0 THX [18:33] k_sze: you can add the daily PPA and install it that way, gives a nice new version with snazzy features :) [18:33] ActionParsnip, tried over and again.. but if you have done it then that just gives me incentive to troubleshoot it :) [18:34] so how would I go about doing a dd of this hard drive if it doesnt seem to want to? [18:34] nikop, It's still there. You jsut have to access the grub menu [18:34] coz_: could grab the daily, pretty much the same deal [18:34] ActionParsnip: ya, but I still need to fix package manager [18:34] lxs-makoto: try gddrescue [18:34] I get some weird message about "E: Encountered a section with no Package: header" [18:34] ActionParsnip, yeah I realize that,, but the mini.is cool :) [18:35] Can anyone help me with making a user locked down a little more?

I've tried "ifconfig wlan0 -promisc" to no avail. Any ideas? [18:37] Cassini_, Yes, there is a interrupt conflict. Both IDE scci0 and display want to use irq 16. Check with lshw [18:38] So 11.04 has better support for drivers then 10.10? [18:38] iceroot may I PM you? [18:38] 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] Younder, is where will I change the irq # to use? [18:38] nikop, This is a new grub version which behaves differently. Check the grub documentation [18:39] How? [18:39] Younder, how? :) [18:39] 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] mang0: 11.04 uses a newer kernel than 10.10 so there are driver updates and whatnot [18:39] okay cool [18:39] hi all, i would install "timidity" with suggested packages, but --install-suggests option of apt-get do not seem to work, also -o APT::Install-Suggests=1 do not work [18:39] Hello, I have to reset every 5 mn under natty, anyone got that too ? [18:40] when I boot into ubuntu classic, all my window borders are gone... how do I fix this? [18:40] "The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened." [18:41] Can someone tell me how to restore the ubuntu software center to its classic look. after my upgrade everything shows up in a single file line. [18:41] 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] OneKorea: you can install ubuntu and access any partitions just fine yes [18:41] thanks [18:41] np [18:41] nick xaiev [18:41] ooops === xavier_ is now known as xaiev [18:41] hi there [18:42] 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] 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] when I boot into ubuntu classic, all my window borders are gone... how do I fix this? [18:42] was the same with 10.10 :/ [18:43] Younder, Ubuntu Software Center, unity isnt the issue. [18:43] 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] masterburner: try alt-f2 and run 'metacity --replace' or 'compiz --replace' [18:43] P_Kable: you'll need to give more details so that we can figure out your problem [18:44] 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] Dr_willis: already tried both, doesn't help... not even after a reboot [18:44] Dr_Willis: yeah... kinda ironic they don't "force" one on you like some browsers.. :0 [18:44] masterburner: try it in a terminal, look for error emssages.. metacity should work on any setup [18:44] KM0201: i just found it odd that the window was in a bad spot. [18:45] ya [18:45] KM0201: and it affected both chromouim browser and google chrome. [18:45] Dr_willis: I think I found a fix... brb [18:45] 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] 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' [18:46] found on ubuntu.com [18:46] xaiev: I've seen a few users say they had liveusb expect a cd [18:46] xbmc library mode anyone? [18:46] xaiev: strange, never had that issue.. are you rying to use the alt. cd? [18:46] no the regular one [18:46] !details | centHOGG [18:46] Younder, I don't see anything else using irq 16 on my box [18:46] 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] CryptKper, Oh I see. Rightclick background. select change desktop background, on the first tab select classic [18:47] KM0201, was the same w/h 10.10 my personal laptop & another usb stick [18:47] anyway i can bypass apt to check for the cdrom and install package from online repositories? [18:49] 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] 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' [18:50] OneKorea: yes, ubuntu reads and writes ntfs partitions on a full real install, it won't overwrite anything there [18:51] oh thats lovely [18:52] OneKorea: its an easy install process, the hardest part is partitioning, but that is simple when you know how [18:52] 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] OneKorea: to clarify, i wouldn't do an install w/ wubi. [18:52] of course not, i want full install, bye bye to windows, but want my DATA xD [18:52] hi guys, my unity launcher won't hide anymore, for some reason, is there any way to force it to hide? [18:52] OneKorea: have you ever used ubuntu? [18:53] salomonv, is it in Unity2d? Nvidia drivers? [18:53] don't know about 2d, i'm running standard natty, but yes, nvidia drivers [18:53] 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] yea, i have some experience with linux distros, no problem, just wondered about ubuntu installer, im not completely newb === komodo169 is now known as Mallory [18:53] zizban: don't know about 2d, i'm running standard natty, but yes, nvidia drivers === Mallory is now known as komodo169 [18:53] salomonv, clean install or upgrade? [18:53] I have installed Linux Mint 9 alongside my Windows 7 starter on one of my computers. [18:53] CryptKper, upgrade [18:54] salomonv, you have to install unity2d manually. Yeah, Nvidia is a problem right now. [18:54] !mint | andreaborman [18:54] andreaborman: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [18:54] 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 [18:55] salomonv, turn off your nvidia driver, reboot, turn it back on, reboot, should be fine. [18:55] Why gnome3 is not the ubuntu main desktop? [18:55] 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] chrome_: you can add it [18:55] !gnome3 [18:55] CryptKper, should be fine forever, or for just this time? [18:55] 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] chrome: because Gnome3 sucks :-) [18:55] salomonv, good question. [18:55] ok [18:55] chrome_, gnome 3 uses mutter 11.04 decided to not use mutter and replace it with compiz as the compositor [18:56] I have Linux Mint 9 gnome by the way it's the easiest one to use. [18:56] 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] anyone experienced with natty? [18:56] andreaborman: maybe, but offtopic here.. [18:56] iggyology: as experience as you can be [18:57] 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] can you tell me why the Firefox icon isn't showing in the launchbar when there's an open window? [18:57] iggyology: are you using unity? [18:57] 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] 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..) [18:58] Wolf_22: add it in ~/.bashrc [18:58] ActionParsnip, yes I am [18:58] KM0201, how do I find out? [18:58] Thanks Action. Will do. [18:58] Wolf_22: what is "the startup.sh"? [18:58] iggyology: that's why. Unity uses globalmenu [18:58] is there anyway to create a tmp file that resides in memory only? [18:58] deostroll, you can install netbootin or I believe its called image writer or go to system/administraton/startup disk creator [18:58] 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] ActionParsnip, can you tell me how to get the icons back in the launch bar? [18:59] anyhow, there is no way to invoke the launcher to hide? [18:59] iggyology: you may get luck if you boot to gnome classic then start compiz, may help [18:59] KM0201, coz_ i kinda want to dos format it... [18:59] ActionParsnip, I wish there was a way for me to get the Unity to work [18:59] deostroll, ah ok [19:00] deostroll: terminal isn't dos [19:00] but if you think that it's too new than I'll switch [19:00] 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] jrib: It was my understanding that it was the Natty version of a startup. [19:00] (startup file, that is.) [19:00] KM0201, no but the article does say I can do a mkfs.vat [19:00] hello, i like to show you my blog about my experiences with debian: http://erfahrungenmitdebian.blogspot.com/ [19:00] What steps should I take to update to Ubuntu 11.10 beta 2? [19:00] *mkfs.vfat [19:01] 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] (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] LuckyNeo: 11.04 is no longer beta [19:01] my main concern is what comes after the mkfs.vfat part...i.e the argument... [19:01] LuckyNeo: oops, sorry, misread [19:02] LuckyNeo: i don't think 11.10 is public yet.. but i could be wrong. [19:02] can i upgrade my 10.04 to 11.04 [19:02] crazydiamond: no [19:02] crazy 10.04>>10.10>>>11.04 is what you'd neeed to do [19:02] 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] Oh, and WiFI [19:02] KM0201: ? [19:03] hi everyone [19:03] LuckyNeo: 11.10 has not yet reached alpha status. [19:03] Oh I'm sorry [19:03] I hope this is the right place to come to search for a solution [19:03] crazydiamond: ? [19:03] And it was not so difficult to use as the old version either. [19:03] ThinkT510: can i upgrade my 10.04 to 11.04 [19:03] Wolf_22: I'm not familiar with this file. Where is it located? [19:03] ablaze: theres here, theres the forums and theres that askubuntu web site. :) [19:03] andreaborman: YOu can make Ubuntu look exactly like MS Windows, it's just a matter of changing the theme.

[20:13] 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.

[20:16] smw: I'm not, but I disabled "nolisten tcp" for X [20:16] ActionParsnips, I found it in "Keyboard Shortcuts" [20:16] @mamad I think the solution of ust13 can help [20:16] iggyology, the command would be gnome-session-save --kill [20:16] it allows you press the keys you wish to use to modify the shortcut also, very cool [20:16] AceKing, no .. but did it remove the history ? for some reason that worked for me ?

[20:24] jorek: sorry, it's a purple screen with ubuntu written in it and dots are moving (becoming red and white) ::: [20:24] ezl, maybe this helps you in the future: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/matching/rename/cmVuYW1l/sort-by-votes [20:24] ablaze, how are you working right now? [20:24] mr_orange, check the logs in /var/log/ [20:24] jorek: i m on another computer with vista ::: [20:25] Hi All: Well my ubuntu update has not been going so smooth, long story short ive accidentally sudo apt-get autoremoved ALL of my kernal images, which autoremoved a bunch of useful packaged before I could kill the operation. Ive cleanup up dpkg and reinstalled the latest kernel image, but I dont know which packages are still missing. is there any way to reinstall "important" packages before I reboot? [20:25] how to restore middle mouse paste function in 11.04 ? [20:25] Jordan_U, I understand. There is a problem that is driving me nuts. I'm trying to disable the Recent Documents [20:25] ablaze: okay. the purple screen is nothing but the loader for ubuntu [20:25] 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] 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] 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] Subdevices: 1/1 [20:25] AceKing: It seems that the file has been successfully unlinked. If you still see history from zeitgeist then try restarting zeitgeist. [20:26] l3, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [20:26] l3 install some metapackage like ubuntu-desktop or something similar [20:26] l3, autoremove doesn't deinstall anything [20:26] l3: Look in /var/log/apt/history.log to see what packages got removed. [20:26] rumpe1: oh? [20:26] Jordan_U, What is the command to restart zeitgeist? [20:26] l3, erm... wait... [20:26] 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] AceKing: In *NIX files aren't actually deleted from the filesystem until there are no applications with an open file handle. [20:26] l3, you removed all your kernels and it started removing everything else, right? [20:26] ablaze, best is to uninstall wubi from windows (instructions in the link above) and reinstall 10.10 [20:26] l3, the ubuntu-desktop package should have everything you need. [20:27] 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] ablaze, understood, but it breaks more than just grub [20:27] smw: yeah [20:27] tjiggi: wouldn't it be better to install 11.04 right away? [20:27] smw: seems everything ubuntu-desktop depends on is still available === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [20:27] l3, man apt-get : "autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no more needed." [20:27] middle mouse paste doesn't work in 11.04 anymore?? [20:27] how to restore middle mouse paste function in 11.04 ? [20:27] jorek, that's his choice not mine [20:27] smw: I may still have missing packages but at least I think I can safely boot [20:27] Okay, new question: when shell scripting, what is the syntax for inline-su? Is it just su username command? [20:27] tjiggi, okay [20:28] l3, are you sure? [20:28] !tab | jorek [20:28] jorek: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [20:28] rumpe1: right, but when I removed ALL my kernel images, a bunch of important packages got uninstalled (libraries etc). [20:28] any body knows how to download youtube videos. [20:28] tjiggi_fo: i just read the megathread link given in your site ::: and i used their method to restore grub menu ::: but now it's not working ::: after that ::: when i use a generic, after that it stucks on purple screen ::: but recovery mode is working [20:28] FoolsRun: -c i think [20:28] !info youtube-dl | haseeb [20:28] haseeb, try apt-get install minitube [20:28] haseeb: youtube-dl (source: youtube-dl): download videos from youtube.

[20:29] 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 [20:29] got the same error when trying # aptitude safe-upgrade [20:30] kalib, do sudo apt-get update and pastebin the results === pankaj is now known as pankaj_sharma [20:30] i have an application with no icon .. how can i fix this ?

[20:30] [snake], make sure the monitor is plugged in firmly and also make sure the power plug to the video card, if any, is plugged in,, these two things will cause that monitor to report that [20:31] [snake], downgrading is not supported [20:31] jorek: can u help in this regard pls? [20:31] Jordan_U, I am going to log out and log back in. I will sign back in to let you know [20:31] ablaze, I understand where it gets stuck, but I have no idea how to solve that. You might look in your log file viewer at messages and boot to see if there are any clues [20:31] [snake], no guranatee those are the issues though [20:31] l403, how can I see them if Ubuntu does not load? [20:31] <[snake]> coz_, it is... it fixes right after my boot splash [20:31] too much trouble [20:31] [snake], ooo that's odd [20:31] 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?

[20:32] hi, somebody can help me? i have one problem whit hardware wireless usb (sorry my bad english) [20:32] ablaze, the problem with using wubi is that not many people here use it, so not many know how to fix it :) [20:32] [snake], it is actually very easy... if you are doing a reinstall. Otherwise, I would call it impossible. [20:32] where should I ask Xubuntu related question? [20:33] Tropic, which language? [20:33] tjiggi_fo: it's true ::: well ::: where i can see log viewer??? [20:33] arkani: #xubuntu [20:33] italian :D [20:33] [snake], only attempt if you think it would be fun to learn everything about the internals of ubuntu and want to try the impossible ;-) [20:33] !it | Tropic [20:33] Tropic: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [20:33] ablaze, System, Administration [20:33] thanks... but that #xubuntu is quite dead.... [20:34] i know thanks [20:34] <[snake]> smw, oo! I have an idea... I get an Ubuntu 10.10 installer and use the user account linker thing... and then remove the 11.04? [20:34] Tropic: ok :) [20:34] tjiggi_fo: but i m not able to start ubuntu :( ::: [20:34] <[snake]> smw, good idea? [20:34] nobody is on :P [20:34] smw, ubottu http://pastebin.com/DdUhUx7K [20:34] "for help" [20:34] I executed "make clean" as sudo, which then did "rm -r /usr/*". I cancelled as soon as I realized this, but /usr/bin was already gone. I did some research and right now my best solution is to copy /usr/bin from the Ubuntu CD, and then repair my packages. Does anyone have a better idea? [20:34] [snake], I don't know of any user account linker thing... [20:34] ablaze, do you have a live CD? [20:34] mr_orange, try if you can boot into single user mode - terminal with root privilege http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/ [20:34] Hi all. I'm stuck here with a "ImportError: cannot import name Pool" when trying to "import multiprocessing" with Python2.6 on Ubuntu 10.10. Any hints? [20:34] how to restore middle mouse paste function in 11.04 ? [20:35] tjiggi_fo: yes i have a live USB [20:35] <[snake]> smw, one time I was dualbooting Ubuntu and Windows Vista... and it asked me if I wanted to copy all of the files from vista to ubuntu. [20:35] l403, ok thank you [20:35] hwilde, that should be enabled by default... when did this stop working? [20:35] anyone know where the shortcuts on the menubar are stored ? [20:35] [snake], yeah. I have a better idea. [20:35] coz_, in 11.04. [20:35] smw, any idea? [20:35] http://pastebin.com/DdUhUx7K [20:36] Good evening, I need a little help with the MOTD on an Ubuntu Server 10.04 machine [20:36] do you speak french? [20:36] [snake], backup /home, reinstall, restore /home [20:36] kalib, I do not speak your language ;-) [20:36] Need Help with Ubuntu 11.04!

[20:37] After an update [20:37] ???

[20:37] <[snake]> smw, that's good. don't. === lance is now known as Guest82589 [20:37] Archie18_: this is likely a #python question as « from multiprocessing import Pool » works fine here on 10.10. Does that work for you? [20:38] tjiggi_fo: ok ::: thanx ::: i m giving this a try ::: and i will tell u the results, if i found ::: thanx again [20:38] ciao [20:38] ablaze, :) [20:38] meraqlix: first thing to check is for (EE) lines in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [20:38] [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] coz_, pain, huh? [20:38] hwilde, well on my Unity set up ,, middle click paste works fine [20:39] coz_, interesting [20:39] hwilde, is this a clean install or an upgade from 10.10 ?? [20:40] anybody using Full Disc Encryption on 11.04? [20:40] coun, I am not ...sorry [20:40] AceKing: Is it showing recent documents from before rming .local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite ? [20:41] Jordan_U, Yes [20:41] Brandano: How to access terminal? All my menues are missing [20:41] @meraqlix, wat u mean menus missing? [20:41] meraqlix, alt+F2 and run xterm [20:42] meraqlix: Ah, so you are only missing the UI? then xorg will be fine [20:42] prob no unity support, gives a blank screen [20:42] anyone here who has installed ubuntu 11.04 on hp mini 210? [20:42] [snake]: Do you want to consider downgrading to 10.04? (Long-Term Support edition). [20:42] uhh. I'm so sick of gnome 2x [20:42] <[snake]> kwtm, prefferably 10.10, but that would also work. [20:42] Yep, the UI is missing after update to Ubuntu 11.01 [20:42] anyone (else) tried using libphp--simplepie under 11.04 [20:43] anyone know where the shortcuts on the menubar are stored ? [20:43] 11.04 [20:43] meraqlix: anyway, CTRL+ALT+F1 will give you a terminal window, CTRL+ALT+F7 will return you to the graphical environment [20:43] [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] how do I get X11 to use FGLRX and not ATI's free drivers? [20:43] ctrl+alt=F1 is for debugging isn't it? use ctrl+alt+F2 [20:43] hi guys is ubuntu tweak available from the repositories or an external site ? [20:44] CLTR+ALT+T , gives a terminal window .. thats how i overcame my unity problems [20:44] 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] meraqlix: you ought to be able to install gnome that way, and then select it from the login screen [20:44] [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] ctrl+alt+T didn't work by default for me in 11.04. you have to add that shortcut. [20:44] so nobody else has trouble with middle mouse paste? [20:45] [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] coun, is correct, you can also add a shortcut to gnome-terminal [20:45] Brandano, one application/utility you may want to look into is easystroke,,, gesture recognition [20:45] 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] 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] [snake]: But it is *really* robust, and you simply use Newest and then easily switch to Second-Newest if need be. [20:45] coz_: for what exactly? [20:45] how do i uninstall gnome3 and reinstall unity or at least gnome2 on ubuntu 11.04? [20:45] hi there, after three days of getting "no new release found" no matter what I try can anybody help me????? [20:45] !help [20:45] 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] Brandano, it is by far ,, in my opinion ,, the top companion application for linux / compiz [20:45] [snake]: Anyway, just something to think about. Watch out for 11.10. :) [20:45] I should not have updated [20:45] another terrible release [20:45] <[snake]> :) lol [20:45] koperino: I bet you're using 10.04 and it's looking for the next LTS edition, 12.04, right? [20:45] @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] koperino: what version are you running? [20:46] 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] 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] Braiam, aj pl [20:46] ah ok [20:46] Maverick and want to go to Natty [20:46] 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] you dont want to go to natty [20:46] coz_: ? [20:46] wait for the next lts [20:46] koperino: sudo do-release-upgrade [20:46] koperino: what does that give you? [20:47] 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] who wanted something for firefox ? [20:47] lol snake [20:47] 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] what is in charge of playing ubuntu sound themes? where can I disable the themes or kill whatever is playing them? [20:47] no new release found [20:47] Jordan_U, I'm going to try it again. [20:47] 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] 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] yea I dont get why ubuntu is ditching gnome3 [20:47] hi, i have a THE question,... why did ubuntu change gnome to ubiquity? [20:47] 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] @rhin0, if you want SSD, i think it best to use 10.10 or 11.04 [20:47] koperino: lsb_release -a what Version number does it report? [20:47] phed, you there ? [20:48] just trying beta version mate in flash aid [20:48] Snakkah: you should look into either adding a PPA or enabling the backports repository [20:48] how to check currently installed mesa version? [20:48] @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] Braiam, well there is another distrobution in the works UGR ubuntu gnome remix using gnome3 [20:48] try this: env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 firefox-4.0 %u [20:48] AMAG, did you look at your xorg.conf?

[20:48] should not have upgraded [20:48] MnCC, anything else to try? [20:48] And a PPA seems to be hard to come by for this little program. [20:48] coz_: what're you talking about? [20:48] coun do you know where my kit of screwdrivers is? === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [20:49] ok [20:49] Braiam, sorryy wrong nick [20:49] @AMAG I have had nothing but trouble with NVIDIA graphics when trying 11.04. I'm done with NVIDIA. [20:49] phed, open the properties of the firefox icon [20:49] Brandano, UGR ubuntu -gnome-remix is in the works [20:49] rhin0: you can install later kernel from standard Ubuntu repository: as far as I remember 2.6.35 [20:49] 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] l403: No, but I just have looked. I have a Section "Device" which says Driver "nvidia" and no other Device sections [20:49] 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] paste: env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 in front of it [20:49] 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] 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] coun: nvidia cards are still by far better supported than ati, just use the open source ones [20:49] yes bars0 but I need to install it direct onto an ssd -- won't work with earlier kernel [20:50] i'll just install 10.10 [20:50] open youtube and press fullscreen icon [20:50] 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] hey, can anyone help me with my flash-buffering problem? [20:50] Brandano, it's not in the Lucid backports repo. :/ [20:50] 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] 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] AMAG also check sudo lsmod that lists the loaded modules aka drivers [20:50] 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] Snakkah: try grabbing the deb from Maverik, but expect possible problems. Try it in a chroot first, perhaps? [20:51] i wonder where it comes from, flash only buffers about 1 minute of streaming-videos [20:51] @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] 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] 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] rhin0: Okay. [20:51] Mmm...maybe. I'll let you know what happens. I expect dependency problems though,. [20:51] paste env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 into where, do you mean the firefox launcher properties? [20:51] rhin0: you want to install ubuntu with a lower kernel than is provided ? [20:51] kwtm 10.04 comes with the earlier kernel -- can't install it so then I can't upgrade [20:52] * Brandano is the odd sort of Ubuntu user that spends a lot of time on the command prompt [20:52] AceKing: And you still see old history? [20:52] phed, and ? [20:52] rhin0: 10.04.2 has a later updates [20:52] !sound > l403 [20:52] l403, please see my private message [20:52] @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] Brandano: Does that count as odd? [20:52] terminal window, if you like [20:52] did that, must say I was updating when internet fell away, since then problems [20:52] 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] lol sorry, ill re-phrase, do i just paste in front of the firefox command? [20:52] Jordan_U, Yes, it's still shows [20:52] 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] phed, yeah [20:52] ablaze, if you go to Places, Computer you should find a "FileSystem" entry (NTFS) that includes your windows files [20:52] kwtm: depends. You are not supposed to spend time tweaking the OS, should just work [20:52] AceKing: Try "rm ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite && mkdir ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite". [20:52] rhin0: I've got 8.04 working on an SSD drive here [20:53] AceKing: Then log out and back in again. [20:53] you'll have a > 2.6.33 kernel ikonia yes? [20:53] WINNING [20:53] no [20:53] Jordan_U: mkdir? [20:53] its all for "trim" [20:53] +10 internets to MnCC [20:53] thanks very much dude [20:53] 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] Jordan_U, Ok, I'll come back and let you know. Thank you [20:53] rhin0: ahhh you want the trim options, ok [20:53] phed, nice [20:53] kwtm: ignore it, he's trying to make it sound like he's hard core [20:53] koperino: sudo apt-get -f install [20:53] maxb: If there's a directory there then zeitgeist can't write it's database there. It's a bit ugly but... [20:53] kwtm: nah, in my case is to install and compile stuff, mainly [20:54] l403: so it is certainly loaded into the kernel, but it appears X is not using it? [20:54] @celthunder: how exactly do I install the open source NVIDIA drivers? be great to get unity working on my nvidia machines [20:54] 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] will ubuntu stop using gnome? should i use KDE instead??? [20:54] coun, why don't you use the binary drivers? [20:54] 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] 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! [20:55] rhin0, i think you best to use 1010 or 1104 to avoid trouble [20:55] kwtm: no, neither is, but Ubuntu is not the frieldliest environment to work with non-standard libs [20:55] willdo coun [20:55] Idle0ne : sorry first time here never had problems with ubuntu . Nothing happens tried that before [20:55] *friendliest [20:55] coun: uninstall and modprobe -r the proprietary ones and install the open source ones and modprobe them up [20:55] AMAG, can you run sudo nvidia-xconfig ? [20:56] koperino: hmm, not getting any errors? [20:56] @rhin0: 10.04 kernel does NOT have TRIM [20:56] 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] 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] @phibxr: you mean NVIDIA? what binary drivers? [20:57] 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] back [20:57] AceKing: No. [20:57] sorry did a restart [20:57] coun, the nvidia closed-source binary drivers. actually, they installed on first boot for me. [20:57] putty is nice but try mremote on windows [20:57] its awesome [20:57] AceKing: Did you log out and back in again? [20:57] Idle0ne : no just 0 packets, install, 0 packets removed,...... [20:57] what did I miss about the missing GUI [20:57] Jordan_U, Yes [20:57] koperino: packages, not packets [20:57] Brandano, just installed pianobar along with its dependencies (it had two dependencies that installed without a hitch). :D [20:57] hi all [20:57] kwtm: not much difference. Putty allows you to store session parameters, and shows a black terminal background [20:58] Jordan_U, I didn't have to completely restart right? [20:58] edbian . sorry dutch version [20:58] Snakkah: in a chroot? [20:58] koperino: ok sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo do-release-upgrade [20:58] i have a little problem with virtual box can i type here? [20:58] ello [20:58] koperino: no worries [20:58] 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] AceKing: Shouldn't have to. [20:58] 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] @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] Brandano, no. Do I need to chroot? [20:58] AceKing: What is the output of "ls -ld ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite"? [20:58] more complete it allows for rdp, ssh, vnc, rdp [20:58] oops [20:58] rlogin [20:58] !bugs > ardchoille [20:58] ardchoille, please see my private message [20:59] So, any idea why the landscape data in MOTD is written twice, witht he second set being a stale copy? [20:59] Gremlyn1, under screen settings you should be able to drag your primary monitor to the left, or select it. [20:59] !bugs > Jasonn [20:59] Jasonn, please see my private message [20:59] what is in charge of playing ubuntu sound themes? where can I disable the themes or kill whatever is playing them? [20:59] Gremlyn1, , monitor [20:59] and other things, the interface is much nicer plus you can have multiple sessions in one window [20:59] where does unity store my favorite apps ? [20:59] Snakkah: no, you don't. It was just a safety in case it tried to replace stuff it ought not to [20:59] Brandano: ? Not sure what you mean. You mean you can just invoke it with "ssh" instead of "ssh myserver.mydomain.com -p -l -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] 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] 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] @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 [21:00] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/603445/ [21:00] coun, I got the closed-source ones by default. the proprietary that is. [21:00] Is there aknown issue with the disappearing scrollbar not working in gimp's toolbox window (Ubuntu 11.04)? [21:00] how do i revert back to unity after installing gnome3? [21:00] coun, can you run nvidia-settings? [21:00] DarsVaeda: fresh install [21:00] coun, if you can, you're running the closed-source binary drivers. [21:00] 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] i do not want to fresh install -.- [21:00] will ubuntu stop using gnome? should i use KDE instead??? can i have a response? [21:00] @1403: you can just disable sound. That is, system related sounds. You will still hear music etc if you play it [21:00] there must be a different solution [21:00] DarsVaeda: gnome3 right now breaks Unity. [21:00] 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] AceKing: I am completely confused then. [21:01] phed: Does it have a vnc client? Or just allows tunnelling by a vnc client which I have to install myself. [21:01] phibxr: you mean under Preferences > Monitors? I don't see an option for specifying default/primary [21:01] AMAG, aslo check nvidia-settings [21:01] xro: Ubuntu will not stop using GNOME. [21:01] Jordan_U, does it look like something is missing? [21:01] DarsVaeda: solution is a clean install so everything is setup properly. [21:01] AceKing, are you sure your seeing recent doc and not downloads and favourites ? [21:01] Brandano: Wait, 1) PuTTy is available for Linux? and 2) someone actually finds it useful? [21:01] Brandano: I wasn't aware of that. [21:01] 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] hola buenas tarde me pueden ayudar con airmon-ng cuando trato de ponerlo modo monitor con el siguienete cocando airmon-ng start wlan1 me sale este error [21:01] @antonio:/home/antonio# airmon-ng start wlan1 [21:01] Found 4 processes that could cause trouble. [21:01] If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after [21:01] a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them! [21:01] antonio__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:01] @phibxr: no can't run nvidia settings since unisntalling proprietary. I can use the "Monitors" to set up res etc with the default Ubuntu drivers [21:01] hey guys [21:01] PID Name [21:02] coun, which slider is that in alsamixer? [21:02] Slackman: hello [21:02] xro: GNOME Shell will not be used by default in future versions of Ubuntu, but GNOME is a lot more than just the shell. [21:02] Brandano: Wow, you're right, putty is available! :) Whaddaya know. [21:02] kwtm, im not sure i still use tightvnc if i am honest, the best part for me is the multiple sessions, but i do think the vnc client is built-in [21:02] Jordan_U, so all version will come with ubiquity but it will always possible to change t to gnome with all support? [21:02] 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" [21:02] well, I use it :) [21:02] !es | antonio__ [21:02] antonio__: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [21:02] coun, after a couple of beers, I actually can't remember your issue anymore. so let's hope someone else can help you. :) [21:02] xro: As far as I can tell, yes. [21:02] I have a dual monitor setup on unity, and I am having a bug where indicators on my main panel slide to the right, completely off the screen. 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] downside, it uses its own format for keys [21:02] Is xorg.conf in Natty? I can't find it and I need to look at it to see if my VM install has USA as it's default keyboard layout (because every time I reboot, I keep having to reset it to USA). [21:02] antonio__, #aircrack-ng [21:02] looking at my xorg log it seems to be using the i965 driver instead of i915? any ideas? [21:02] anyone know how to get the sbs module loaded for lm-sensors, or what it is exactly? I have the same problem as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1537746 [21:02] but on the plus side on Ubuntu it makes use of the OS keyring [21:03] botcity, I am seeing Recent Documents under "Places" [21:03] @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] 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] 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] the cd seems fine on different computers is there a way to fix that [21:03] Jordan_U, ok.. and what are the difference between the new shell and gnome shell? [21:03] xorg.conf shows "nvidia" as the driver enabled... should it be " nv " ? === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [21:03] Idle0ne :I think it started at least I see a lot of commands with natty-updates in it [21:03] coun, the sound theme is disabled in gnome settings but fluxbox doesnt respect those [21:03] kwtm: just tunnel the SSH port, I imagine [21:03] 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] CQ: sudo modprobe sbs [21:04] @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] what does frameworkd do? [21:04] koperino: ok good, let it do its thing and hope it doesn't get interrupted again :) [21:04] CQ: injects modules into the kernel. Think of it as 'turning a drive ron' [21:04] i've had real slow transfers from Ubuntu 9-10 to flash drives. any ideas to fix? [21:04] Brandano: Right, but do you know how much bandwidth that takes up? :? [21:04] Thanxs [21:04] coun, ah, yes, right. why don't you use the proprietary drivers? the noveau drivers aren't that good yet. [21:04] koperino: welcome [21:04] kwtm: same as that double SSH conn you use. Uses up a little more processor, perhaps [21:05] edbian: doesn't do anthing, modprobe -l doesnt show it, locate doesn't show it... [21:05] @filosofixit, have friends try running the LIVE CD and see if he can fix it up that way [21:05] 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] its driving me nuts ...where are the launcher shortcuts stored ? [21:05] Slackman: I havnen't seen that one yet... [21:05] 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] coun, press (Windows-key) and type driver, press enter. should present you with Additional drivers, where you can activate the proprietary drivers. [21:05] coun : he does not have a clue how to do that :) [21:05] CQ: If it returns without giving an error that means it was inserted successfully. Try running sudo sensors-detect [21:05] 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] 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. [21:06] Slackman: I've been having issues with the kernel on my 2011 13" MacBook Pro [21:06] phed: Sounds good. WIll check it out. Thanks for the tip! [21:06] edbian: but modprobe -l should show it, shouldn't it?? [21:06] CQ: Yeah it should. Try lsmod | grep sbs [21:06] I cant make compiz effects work in ubuntu 11.04 [21:06] @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] hmm, i use VNC tunneled over SSH, but only for Windows machines. And even then probably I ought to use therminal server [21:06] edbian: nope, shows nothing [21:06] Jordan_U, unity don't have a "work bar" on the bottom on the screen... not usable for me! [21:06] Salutation. [21:06] CQ: strange. [21:06] coun, that's one strange bug. what card are you using? [21:07] what is the correct driver name in xorg.conf for the binary nvidia driver? "nvidia" or "nv" ? [21:07] 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] CQ: Does sudo sensors-detect work any differently? [21:07] 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] @phibxr, yes this is what I did but none of them worked to do 3D with unity [21:07] 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] CQ: What is the ultimate goal here? [21:07] edbian: get gkrellm to show all the sensors that are in the computer ... [21:08] while userHold.setup: [21:08] NVIDIA Geforce 3 from 2001 :0 [21:08] has anyone faced this issue lately ,http://paste.ubuntu.com/603447/ [21:08] AMAG, I dunno then. reinstall the nvidia package? :-/ [21:08] 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] (oops) [21:08] CQ: Ignoring this sbs error what functionality are you getting out of gkrellm ? [21:08] AceKing, sorry maybe the update they mentioned about clearing history will help . when that comes out! [21:08] someone help ubuntu 11.04 is very choppy can i have some help fixing this [21:08] tbrew13: Graphics card? [21:09] l403: the nvidia-current one? [21:09] 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] edbian: shows quite a few sensors that the sensors command shows as well [21:09] coun, have you tried "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current"? [21:09] botcity, Ok, thank you for your help! [21:09] 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] AMAG, Id do all of them that you have installed and have the word nvidia in them :) [21:09] kwtm, as said i use it mainly for multiple sessions and the tidyness of the desktop [21:09] 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] 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] sary: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. [21:10] kwtm, its a connection manager for putty etc === pothos_ is now known as pothos [21:10] CQ: In short, if I were you I'd be in here asking people :P [21:10] @phibxr, no. I'll give this a go tonight. Thanks for tip [21:10] phed: Okay. Anyway, thanks for letting me know about it. [21:10] edbian: ok, thanks all the same... there's no answer in #linux-sensors which is the lm-sensors channel here [21:10] edbian, ati [21:10] CQ: Most channels are not as active as this one. wait a while [21:10] kwtm, no trouble lol i should have mentioned that [21:10] coun, installs the latest proprietary nvidia-drivers for your card. [21:10] tbrew13: Which driver are you using according to sudo lspci -k ? [21:10] @phibxr, but wouldn't update manager install any updated drivers? [21:10] Does anyone have a clue how to restore a box from nouvue-drivers to nvidia-binary throuh ssh? [21:11] coun, yep. but you never know. [21:11] I have just got a new hard disk. I moved everything using LVM to the new one with LVM, and /boot I copied manually. Now, the new /boot has a different UUID to the old one. No problem, when I booted I just typed the new one in to grub and booted fine. However, when I run "sudo update-grub" I am told "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: Couldn't find PV pv0. Check your device.map." [21:11] Where is device.map and how can I check it? [21:11] @edbian, this channel is goin nuts! lol [21:11] None of my PV's have ever been called pv0 [21:11] filosofixit: sudo apt-get purge and then, sudo apt-get install [21:11] jamesstanley: device.map is a red harring in this case. [21:11] coun: tell me about it [21:11] @phibxr, i def try tonight. thx :) [21:11] hi, does anybody know a way of making mutter and fglrx work together :( [21:12] VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics] [21:12] Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 028d [21:12] Kernel driver in use: fglrx_pci [21:12] Kernel modules: fglrx, radeon [21:12] coun, you're most welcome. [21:12] tbrew13: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:12] Jordan_U: ok, what should I do instead?

I still haven't received an update. Makes me wonder if I can rely on updates sometimes. [21:12] Jordan_U: i could manually fix /boot/grub/grub.cfg but there must be a better way [21:12] jamesstanley: What version of Ubuntu? [21:12] tbrew13: Please don't paste to the channel [21:12] 11.04 [21:12] edbian : thanx man, will check it out [21:12] filosofixit: sure [21:12] Jordan_U: i upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 recently [21:13] tbrew13: Do you understand that output? [21:13] Jordan_U, i dislike it... i want to use ubuntu to work... not for a multimedia table... I think a good point for ubuntu was gnome (simple and performant)... [21:13] Jordan_U: but unrelated to the hard disk upgrade and everything worked fine before the hard disk changed [21:13] jamesstanley: How are you booted currently? [21:13] slow flash drive copy has no current fix per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1487590 [21:13] !classic | xro [21:13] xro: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. [21:13] Jordan_U: i am currently in the 11.04 kernel and i did it by pressing 'e' at grub and fixing the uuid manually [21:13] coun, no idea if it has been added to the ubuntu repositories yet. i use gmail through the browser. :) [21:13] guntbert ;) , it's simple / i'm unable to post in-to forums ! thats about it. [21:13] Hmm, I think I ought to check back once the 11.04, err, backlash has died down a bit. It's a minor annoyance anyway [21:13] hello [21:13] edbian : nvidia-current should be the right driver for me right? [21:14] xro: You might also like XFCE in the long run as they (at least for the moment) aren't planning any major overhauls. [21:14] @phibxr, ah, I worry about Google knowing everything about me. I wish I could sell my own info to make money. Instead everyone else sells me and makes profit oOOo [21:14] filosofixit: I think so? It's going to be a bit of trial and error I'm afraid [21:14] Jordan_U: I bet they will just update it to the point you won't be able to tell it apart from Gnome 2 [21:15] 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] guntbert I appreciate your concern.;/ [21:15] coun, I've stopped worrying about google, since I've already disclosed anything useful you could ever know about me to them. but I think that discussion is more appropriate for #ubuntu-offtopic, before someone redirects it there. :P [21:15] Does anyone know if changes were made to the 11.4 release just before the announcement? I have a pre-release version that has problems with intel video. [21:15] edbian : I will try and fail until I get it right ;) thx again [21:15] edbian, sorry xchat does not show me when someone address me anymore about the output kind of but not really [21:15] filosofixit: good luck! === marcelo is now known as Marcelo [21:16] billsmith, running at update should put you at the current release. [21:16] l403: Well, removing nvidia-current and rebooting has affected something. Now the display appears broken and gdm cannot start, but the machine isn't locked up, just the display. So I guess I'll straighten that out and try installing nvidia-current again. [21:16] tbrew13: No worries, you're using the fglrx driver which is proprietary. Have you tried using the radeon driver? [21:16] edbian, and its only a little choppy [21:16] billsmith, *an [21:16] sary: sorry, no idea here - do you say you cannot post to any forums using any browser? but everything else on the web works just fine? === Marcelo is now known as Guest57687 [21:16] The screen is so broken that I can't get to a terminal. [21:16] 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 [21:17] AMAG, boot insto single user mode, install them via apt or aptitude and then just run /etc/init.d/gdm start [21:17] 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 [21:18] 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] 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] err, s/F&/F6/ [21:18] So, MSN is not compatible with aMSN, because I am trying to do a web conference and I can ' t [21:18] edbian, okay no please help me with that also how do i get compiz effects working [21:18] guntbert, that/ exactly. [21:18] 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] tbrew13: I'm thinking that switching drivers will solve both problems. [21:19] anyone know a good total commander clone ? [21:19] I'll try that again, but recall the previous attempt failed. Don't recall what happened, so as mentioned, will retest. [21:19] you guys are scaring me. i don't think i want to upgrade to 4.11 today. [21:19] How could gdm be depending on nvidia-current but it isn't the X driver that X is running? This seems strange. [21:19] gridbag , why not ? [21:19] edbian, how do i do this [21:20] that would be a release from November 2004? [21:20] 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] 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] tbrew13: Make sense? [21:20] MnCC: are you talking about Midnight Commander? [21:20] do I need to format and re-install Ubuntu 11.04 after missing the GUI from the rescent 11.04 update? [21:20] Jordan_U, thanks for your time.... i hope ubuntu won't disappoint me in the future... [21:20] no [21:21] 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] meraqlix: no. sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop could do it [21:21] MnCC: mc - Midnight Commander - a file manager [21:21] edbian, on it but can i just use the addtional drivers and uninstall it from there [21:21] usr13, no a good equivalent for the Windows version of Total Commander under nix [21:21] sary: are you behind a proxy? [21:21] MnCC: Ok, sorry, I don't know about Total Commander. [21:22] usr13, thanks [21:22] 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] edbian, do i have to reboot or will log out work [21:22] MnCC: runs on wine [21:22] edbian, i removed it your way [21:23] tbrew13: I suggest a reboot [21:23] MnCC, filezilla [21:23] ok on it now [21:23] ok.. my menu bars turned white and i can't get them back to the dark defaults.. how do i fix it? [21:23] tbrew13: :) [21:23] hi all [21:23] 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] lol [21:24] 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] well, I dunno, maybe it could be but the gears aren't moving and the system is useless :) [21:24] 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] AMAG, I am trying to kill sound events in fluxbox unsuccessfully.. going for a smoke [21:24] l403: I'll probably still be here struggling with X when you come back :) [21:24] Is anyone able to help me out removeing a ppa in terminal? [21:24] could someone tell me the best way to format an 'advanced format' (ie the larger sector) drive under linux? [21:25] sul_ find / "name.jar" [21:25] #ubuntu-it [21:25] newb2linux: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list comment out that PPA [21:25] sary: try it with a text based browser (like elinks) [21:26] Brandano, personally i dont trust wine with tc on ext4 .. you tried it ? [21:26] the java application is in /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps l403 [21:26] 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] how do you use a bluetooth device that has been rejected [21:26] 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] Hello [21:26] l403, gonna try it [21:26] MnCC: nope. I have plenty of other stuff running with Wine on ext3 though [21:26] I've been using LibreOffice on Ubuntu 11.04 a lot these days and I've noticed a strange behavior [21:27] its not a ppa I guess.. this is what I get when I try to update with apt-get [21:27] W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/user/ppa-name/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [21:27] how do I remove that? [21:27] Brandano, can you give me some examples ? [21:27] 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] Err http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid/main Packages [21:27] when I drag content within LibreOffice (text, images, etc), Ubuntu"s dock locks up above all otehr windows, ifen if they are maximized [21:28] anzone else having this problem [21:28] MnCC: Steam, Myst Online... games mainly [21:28] What is ppa.launchpad.net? [21:28] /b 7 [21:28] tbrew13: So what driver is being used? Is the choppiness problem gone? [21:28] even* [21:28] glxinfo says "server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation" and I have no (EE) lines in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:28] edbian, yes [21:28] AMAG, I can msg you my xorg.conf [21:28] Brandano, cool [21:28] tbrew13: Are you using unity? [21:28] exit [21:28] edbian, yes [21:28] tbrew13: ps -e | grep compiz [21:28] tbrew13: What does that return? [21:28] 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] l403: sure [21:29] hello [21:29] 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] Err http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid/main Packages when updating with apt-get in terminal how do I fix? [21:30] 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] 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] so it will auto setup my screen again? [21:30] edbian, result of that command 1525 ? 00:00:26 compiz [21:30] or any other way to fix it?? [21:30] Brandano, i have that too .. but i ditched windows completely .. run some apps in virtualbox if i cant find a suitable replacement [21:30] AMAG: does glxinfo say "direct rendering: on" somewhere? [21:31] 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] MnCC: I doubt I have enough processor power for serious 3D graphics in a virtual PC === david is now known as Guest74562 [21:32] AMAG: sorry, I meant "Yes" instead of "on" [21:32] Brandano, well you can assign 3d memory from your graphics card in 4.0 .. but for gaming .. i dunno ..it might [21:32] 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] guntbert will do. [21:32] tbrew13: in xchat settings -> preferences -> alerts -> enable system tray icon. Assuming you're not running gnome-xchat or what [21:32] is there a walkthrough on being able to sync music/videos/photos/etc to your iphone from natty? [21:33] Anyone need any hosting? [21:33] brando:Yes, it says "direct rendering: Yes" [21:33] scottlad: no spamming please [21:33] scottlad: don't advertise [21:33] AMAG: then your drivers are installed fine [21:33] Err http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid/main Packages when updating with apt-get in terminal how do I fix? [21:33] AMAG: the problem is somewhere else [21:34] edbian, system try icon is checked nothing [21:34] edbian, running regular version [21:34] AMAG: did you restart the desktop manager after installing them? [21:34] !iphone | dp [21:34] 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] Brandano: Yes. I think it might be that "glx" is not loaded into X? [21:34] tbrew13: Maybe it's a unity thing. Can you right click on the top panel -> add to panel -> notification area [21:34] is dban good to use? [21:35] l403:My xorg.conf does not have this anywhere: Load "glx" [21:35] 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] edbian, i cant right click on the top panel at all [21:35] tbrew13: Then it's unity to blame [21:35] Has anyone gotten dual monitors extended desktop working on xubuntu-desktop 11.04? [21:35] tbrew13: Sounds to me like you're missing gnome2. Why don't you use ubuntu classic at login? [21:35] how do you use a bluetooth device that has been rejected [21:36] 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] yehudah_, remove device try again [21:36] edbian, i like unity just working with it ok i got it to show a notification at the top of the screen [21:36] tbrew13: What did you do to get a notification area? [21:36] sary: and did it work? [21:36] but how do i add icons to the desktop if i cant drag them [21:36] tbrew13: I don't know. [21:36] yehudah_, i tried mine like 3 or 4 times before it accepted [21:36] dont help [21:36] check show bollons in prefrences [21:36] AMAG: neither does mine, doesn't seem to be a problem. In the "device" section what is the value of "Driver" ? [21:36] guntbert: it did work, Yes. [21:36] hi [21:37] tbrew13: Preferences for xchat or perferences for unity? [21:37] * sary testing in elinks + w3m. [21:37] edbian, xchat [21:37] tbrew13: mm. Fixed? [21:37] hi guys [21:37] tbrew13: Any more problems? [21:38] how can I change my console coloring with the command force-color in the config file ? [21:38] yeah [21:38] what's up [21:38] tbrew13: :D [21:38] edbian, thank you so much okay what about desktop cube wobbly windows [21:38] stuff like that [21:38] Brandano: Driver nvidia [21:38] 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] tbrew13: install compizconfig-settings-manager and tweak to your hearts content! [21:39] AMAG: that really ought to be enough [21:39] tried it messed up ill try again [21:39] tbrew13: What do you mean you messed up? [21:39] 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] MnCC: just tried 6/7 times. the device has been added to the reject list. [21:39] AMAG: anyway, messed up stuff in xorg.conf would show in the logs [21:39] how do i remove it from the list [21:39] 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. [21:40] AMAG: Not sure about glxgears. Additional Drivers is a bit buggy in my opinion. Not surprised it's lying to you :P [21:40] 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 [21:41] Yeah, I rebooted since then, several times. :) [21:41] Do you have the Nvidia X Server Settings icon in System>Administration? [21:41] 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] after upgrade to 11.04 google chrome opens a tab 500 ms slower than it used to, any suggestions? [21:42] Perhaps it is mapped to a different display [21:42] 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] guntbert you're so kind in assistance ;) .. i've noted the ' gnome transparent proxy ' ty and have a nice one/ [21:42] happens on both ubuntu classic and unity [21:42] tbrew13: What is making the top bar disappear ? [21:42] ok [21:43] tbrew13: If you check wobbly windows do they become... wobbly? [21:43] edbian: I bet for autohide [21:43] edbian, whenever i disable snapping windows to enable wobbly windows [21:43] be right back [21:43] guys i need help ! [21:43] Ah, missing decorators in compiz [21:43] commeon [21:43] common [21:43] 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? [21:44] 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] what's the best linux ????? [21:44] Master: I can give you some generic solutions, or do you want a specific one? [21:44] Brandano: You think the decorators for compiz are missing for tbrew ? [21:44] Master: why would you ask that in an ubuntu centric channel? [21:45] edbian: I had that problem in the past when fiddling with an early compiz and emerald [21:45] Hi, how do I do: sudo cat 1 > proc/sys/sysrq ? [21:45] i don't know just asking to improve my knowledje about linux [21:45] Brandano: Oh yeah? Tell tbrew how to fix it! :D [21:45] 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] Can I do it without su? [21:45] edbian: but I don't remember how I got around fixing it. Ultimately I fixed everything by disabling Compiz [21:45] tbrew13: see Brandano He has an idea [21:45] Brandano: well crap [21:46] tbrew13: let me google a bit [21:46] 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] 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] Master, of course, most people in here would respond 'ubuntu'. :) [21:46] I would go with CQ advice ;) [21:46] 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] 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] Master, it's like joining #apple and asking what the best personal computer is. :P === Wolf is now known as Guest65209 [21:47] 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] اغاني [21:47] tbrew13: Just come back to the channel. I'm here all the time. [21:47] لخخلمث [21:47] thank you guys [21:47] or not... [21:47] jamesstanley: That is a *very* bad idea and will break grub-install (without warning). [21:47] 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] google [21:47] ale_ الأغاني حرام. [21:47] Jordan_U: how so? [21:48] another question what's the good about the RED HAT [21:48] Hello. [21:48] How do I make it so that U boots before windows? [21:48] good [21:48] !ot | Master [21:48] Master: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:48] Somelauw, what is that for ? it does not make sense [21:48] ale_: Could we assist you with something ? [21:48] how do you use a bluetooth device that has been added to the reject list [21:48] Hi, echo '1z' |grep --color '[A-Z]' [21:48] 1z [21:48] 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] why z is selected? [21:49] 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] Glycan: that whould be from grub setting , i can't recall it how though. [21:49] 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] 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] Please explain, [21:50] I deleted windows and now I can't boot. [21:50] Glycan: you might wana check grub config.files [21:50] (On that box) [21:50] Where? [21:50] jamesstanley: grub-install will not give any error, but it will produce a core.img which cannot read LVM. [21:50] Jordan_U: the root filesystem should be irrelevant to grub since /boot is not in lvm [21:50] botcity: I am trying to enable sysrq magic. I have trouble with the getting acces part. [21:50] jamesstanley: Ahh, indeed. [21:50] Jordan_U: /boot is a separate partition [21:50] CQ: I can't imagine what that would be. My ubuntu 10 install was pretty vanilla; I didn't fool with it at all. [21:50] edbian: how do you use a bluetooth device that has been added to the reject list [21:50] Glycan:from what OS box you're typing right now. [21:50] jamesstanley: I forgot that you had a separate /boot. [21:50] yehudah_: No clue. Sorry! [21:51] yehudah_: Never done that myself [21:51] Jordan_U: ok, thanks for pointing out my potential mistake anyway [21:51] edbian: thanks [21:51] yehudah_: sorry! [21:51] I'm on a seperate windows box; [21:51] jamesstanley: You're welcome. [21:51] What are you talking about? [21:51] Jordan_U: well i guess it's still a mistake but it will have no consequences. it's more of a workaround [21:51] Also, where is the boot sequance stored? [21:51] while chosing partitions [21:51] when I go on google.com it's all in a wierd language, how do I fix it, firefox on ubuntu seems to be reporting my language as being CHR ? [21:51] 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] can I make sure windows partitions are untouched? [21:51] 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. [21:52] that's no odds to me [21:52] i don't spend much time staring at the boot menu anyway [21:52] how is natty ? what is the review [21:52] Guys? [21:52] can I install ubuntu-desktop edition to my netbook [21:52] jamesstanley: Please do file a bug report about it (run "ubuntu-bug grub" *without* any device.map so to avoid confusion) though as it is a problem which should be fixed. [21:53] jamesstanley: Sorry, "ubuntu-bug grub-pc" [21:53] Jordan_U: ok, will do [21:53] Glycan you have o exuse me , i know nothing about boot sequance in windows. [21:53] jamesstanley: Thanks. [21:53] This is a computer. [21:53] In general. [21:53] Not windows. [21:53] It had windows on it. [21:54] has anyone installed the flash player 11 on ubuntu? [21:54] Now it doesn;t. [21:54] Glycan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:54] Somelauw, i think you what the "echo" command [21:54] * Brandano goes to grab some food [21:54] Glycan: Try to describe your issue in details. [21:54] !sysrq | Somelauw [21:54] Somelauw: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [21:55] Hi all. Is there a command to basically purge my system of changes I've made since the fresh install...essentially setting it back to a vanilla state? === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [21:56] Let's see... [21:56] Well, at the very least [21:57] anyone [21:57] I'm trying to see if flash molehill [21:57] all of my windows are messed up! they are caught in the corners of the screen and I can't move them out of the way to interact. Here is a picture of it happening with both my screenshot program and firefox (you will see i cant see the tabs bar nor anywhere to move the window. I can't even resize http://imgur.com/QeFHD this problem remains even after restarting the computer. I'm using Unity 640-bit [21:57] runs nicely in ubuntu [21:57] 64-bit* [21:58] where you on the date of july 29, 2009? [21:58] 16:55 < syrinx_> rabbitear: in space [21:58] 16:55 < rabbitear> Srf? [21:58] oops, sorry [21:58] Hi, my computer just crashed. [21:58] and by unity i mean 11.04 T_T [21:58] Before, Win would load, ask me what I wanted to do, I woul dtell him to load U, U would ask me if I wanted to run safe mode or what, I woul dask for U, and I would give it to me. [21:58] Then I killed Win, but it still points to win, and doesn't work. [21:58] I was asking how to enable reisub? In ubuntu. I tried echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq. [21:59] Jordan_U: submitted [21:59] But it didn't work. [21:59] So is apt purge-ppa not a command...because it's not registering as one for me o_O [21:59] jamesstanley: Could you subscribe me, "jordanu" to the bug? [21:59] Also, the laptop this is happening on seems to turn of randomy, despite the fact that it's plugged in. [21:59] jamesstanley: Or just give me a link? [21:59] Somelauw: thought it was enabled by default [21:59] anyone notice how unity screws up when you 'X' an application that minimizes to the system tray when 'X'ed? is there a way to fix that so it keeps the icon? otherwise it keeps running int eh back and you can't get to it.. [21:59] Jordan_U: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/777435 [21:59] Ubuntu bug 777435 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "update-grub failed after changing hard disk (using lvm for root but not for /boot)" [Undecided,New] [22:00] Ljl, it isn't here. Using ubuntu 10.10. [22:00] jamesstanley: Thanks. [22:00] no problem [22:00] Somelauw: i know i've used alt+sysrq+k (don't try this everyone unless you want to kill x), and it worked [22:00] what's the best way to remap fn + left to home? [22:00] i tried it under 11.04 though [22:00] LjL: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq [22:00] 0 [22:01] Hi, I have an HP laptop AMD and since I installed 11.04 it seems to overheat and freeze, any suggestions? I don't even know how to find out what is making it freeze [22:01] Ironically, my laptop just crashed. [22:01] And I couldn't use it. [22:01] Glycan: so , what are you triyng to do exactly. [22:01] Run U. [22:01] But this laptop + ubuntu never has been very stable. [22:02] But anyway, I tried to enable it using sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq, but it says I don't have permission. I think that it is because of the ">" inside the command. [22:03] Glycan: grab an ubuntu Live-cd , burn it to a USB stick or CD-DVD-R. [22:03] Been there, done that. [22:03] Doesn't work. [22:03] Well, on a DVD [22:03] Somelauw: echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq; and you're right, > is captured by the shell [22:03] id like to launch programs as root from context menu (like the runas in windows), does that exist ? [22:04] sudo [22:04] Special user-do [22:04] Glycan, from the context menu .. when i click on an icon ? [22:04] is there a built-in way to remap keyboard commands in ubuntu 11.04? I'd like fn+left to be home [22:04] Terminal. === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [22:04] Otherwise, no idea [22:05] MnCC: sudo will do the job. [22:05] Glycan: have you checked the iso with ubuntu md5sum? also [22:05] Glycan, thats why i asked [22:05] usr13, not from the context menu unfortunately [22:05] Ahem, guys: "Can not mount /dev/loop/() (.cdrom/casper/filesystem.squshfs) on //filesystem.squashfs [22:06] " [22:06] MnCC: Is there a particular application your thinking of? [22:06] crapy unity, it hijacks my mod key [22:07] usr13, no .. i just need an extra menu option run as root . . its such a hassle to gksu/su/sudo everytime .. or create duplicate items [22:07] Is there any reason sysrq magic is disabled by default by the way? Since why would you disable such a useful feature [22:07] MnCC: Pretty much all the applications you have installed are going to have all the authority and permissions to do what ever it is they need to do. [22:07] does anyone know of a way to move windows around by pressing a button? In previous versions of ubuntu I could hold down alt and then grab any window to move it. Now i can't and unity is bugging out for me not letting me access the top part of any window of any application i open. I'm using 11.04 64-bit if that helps. Here is a screenshot of my problem http://imgur.com/QeFHD note the screenshot program is cut in half and i can't see the tab bar in the firefo [22:07] Somelauw: its enabled [22:08] thanks trismn. I think it worked. If it didn't work. I will probably notice when I reboot. [22:08] usr13, true: except for every filemanager [22:09] iceroot: Here it was disabled. Also I updated from 10.4 to 10.10. [22:09] MnCC: You will find that there are some fundamental differences between Linux and MS Windows. I think this is one of them. [22:09] But really, it was disabled hre by default. [22:09] MnCC: What do you mean every filemanager? [22:09] MnCC: What is it that you are unable to do with the filemanager? [22:09] Somelauw: the keycombo for restarting is working fine on 10.10 and 11.04 [22:09] Somelauw: others are not testet [22:10] hi, i'm not getting overlay scrollbars? How do I enable it? [22:10] usr13, i can do everything with it .. its just such a hassle .. you want to copy something outside your home folder .. have to gksu/sudo/su ..start app again.. go to directory .. then repeat the action [22:10] ciao [22:10] Somelauw: go to tty1 and press alt + print + m and it will show you the memory dump [22:11] Somelauw: testet on 11.04 [22:11] Glycan have you tried changing your boot order to boot from CD-ROM first. [22:11] so.... adding the beta flash player into firefox [22:11] any ideas [22:11] ?

Does it work in gnome-terminal? [22:11] can someone help me on how to use 'KLibido' [22:12] LjL, not really ..you keep al your music and videos in your homefolder ? [22:12] Somelauw: if i am correct its only working on tty and not gnome-terminal [22:12] MnCC: yes? but even if i didn't, i'd keep them somewhere i have permissions to, obviously [22:12] Somelauw: the memory dump is showing you what is going on on your memory [22:12] Glycan: do you get this ' BusyBox vX.XX.X(Ubuntu X:X.X.X-XXXXXX) built-in shell (ash) [22:12] Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

It's not hard but there are some things that require admin priviledges and there is good reason for it. The cases where you copy something to a directory that you as a user don't have permission to write to are very rare.

[22:18] MnCC: and if you're worried about upgrades (or for that matter, if you aren't), you use a separate partition for /home [22:18] Somelauw: hm strange [22:18] LjL, now were talking [22:18] JohnFlux: :( ::: i would really love to do so ::: any help is appreciated [22:18] LjL, how ?

[22:19] 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] MnCC: You need to experience a lession in file-management. Linux is very well organized, (when compared to the way file management is handled in a MS Windows invironment). Once you get the hang of the Linux way of file-management, you'll love it. [22:19] MnCC: i know unfortunately it's a bit involved if you do it after installing.

Has anyone else had this problem ? [22:21] it's wlan0 [22:22] MnCC: uhm, usually it's the whole /home that's put on a separate partition, not just a single user's directory inside /home. [22:22] iceroot, how do you guess that? [22:22] MnCC: LjL is correct. I very much like having a separate /home/ partition because I have the option to do a fresh install anytime I want and leave all my files right were they are, undisturbed. [22:22] i can not resize windows! moreover i haven't any plugin in ccsm to fix that! it seems it should be under uncategorized item but it's does not exists. what now i should do? [22:22] MnCC: so you might as well keep the one user you have now, you just need to know how to deal with single user mode in case things go wrong [22:22] Chaorain: why not using the usb-creator from ubuntu? [22:23] tessarakt: normally its the only file a person would change [22:23] LjL, basicly boot into live and take it from there [22:23] MnCC: that's another option [22:23] Ubuntu 11.04 Slow Graphics Performance PRoblems.

In the same way I can Hide the Launcher [22:53] I had dual boot, then I half-killed Windows, and now nothing works. [22:53] Glycan: what is the problem? [22:53] I instaled 11.04 and after 16 hours went for the 10.10 :) easier to learn [22:53] what did you do? [22:53] Becouse startup script points to Win, and Win points wherever you tell him to point to. [22:53] Glycan, send your traffic [22:53] studentz: Ok, then I have no idea. Just used Unity for 30 min and have only used Ubuntu in 3 months X) [22:54] ??? [22:54] see you guys, bye. [22:54] my alt-tab is slow as hell [22:54] Explain!!! [22:54] hi, can anybody help with NFS mount issue? [22:54] engammalsko, let us know how the clean install works [22:54] my ctrl+alt+(right or left) is slow as hell also [22:54] hey, I've used Ubuntu for several years, and I used Unity for about 30 minutes ;-) [22:54] since im in 11.04 [22:54] engamalsko thanks and enjoy Unity [22:55] my piece of ... you know...PC doesn`t support unity interface :(( [22:55] AgresiV did you try Unity 2D? [22:55] need help in me menu [22:56] nope.. I reinstaled 10.10 xubuntu [22:56] !dualboot | Glycan [22:56] Glycan: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [22:56] AgresiV I had 2001 laptop and it works ;) [22:57] after hours of googling seems everyone pointed to xubuntu .. [22:57] after all... I need speed [22:57] need help in me menu [22:58] I was thinking to upgrade...think it`s a good ideea ? [22:58] AgresiV: backup and fresh install [22:58] AgresiV: you mean to buy another box? [22:59] need help in me menu [22:59] no :d I ment to go for the 11.04 again [22:59] I`m a litle noobish so I thought 10.10 is more stable and easier to learn the basiscs [22:59] I didn't think I'd like Unity, but I do. I really do. The more you use it, the more it makes sense. [22:59] hi, I have an old installation of vmware on my machine and I would like to purge it. the thing is that dpkg -l | grep vmware won't give any result. what am I supposed to do? [23:00] need help in me menu [23:00] 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] MarcoPau, you probably didnt install vmware via a deb [23:00] AgresiV look at this link http://www.webupd8.org/2011/01/unity-2d-qt-now-available-in-ppa-for.html [23:01] nodus: I guess, but it's been ages and I can't remember. do I better ask the vmware guys? [23:02] yeah, xubuntu 11.04 ships with xfce 4.8 [23:02] studentz, interesting ...then shall I upgrade from 10.10 or fresh ? [23:02] hi!

[23:04] !ask | Glycan [23:04] Glycan: 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. :-) [23:04] AgresiV good question, I do not have the right answer. But i use the ppa and I had a little problem with the xorg.conf file, which I solved. [23:04] Okay... [23:05] need help in me menu [23:06] ciao [23:06] well when I initially instaled 11.04 I had a problem to.. xorg.conf file was missing and my graphics drivers was messed up [23:06] seriousy [23:06] cmon for the last half hour and no help [23:06] wow [23:06] international chat? [23:07] lastoflast: "need help in me menu" isn't much to debug [23:07] !details [23:07] 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 ..." [23:07] AgresiV Did you fix it? [23:07] what should i write [23:07] studentz, I will try to upgrade from 10.10... I`ll let you guys know how it went [23:07] if not....back to the draqing board [23:07] is it important to have firwall,and antivirus [23:07] drawing* [23:08] dont do it you will get unity [23:08] on ubuntu? [23:08] AgresiV Please first make a copy of your xorg.conf file and keep it [23:08] codex84: only if you're worried to pass on viruses in mail attachments [23:09] 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] 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] vcoolio-what should i write [23:09] AgresiV I mean the one that is working in xubuntu [23:09] E.g. hwo do I make toshiba poitn directly to U. [23:09] lastoflast: more details on your problem: what do you want to achieve, what's the problem, is there error output, what did you try to solve [23:09] (Also how to resize partitions, but that's another story) [23:09] Does anyone know of a good VPN service that I can use on Ubuntu? [23:09] Argh. [23:09] i keep getting this error when trying to start mysql http://pastebin.com/bqBQNctf can someone help me please [23:10] Can someone help _me_? I've been waiting for about an hour. [23:11] studentz, in the 11.04 could fix squat... to much info to digest.. so I went for the 10.10.. It doesn`t work as it should work but at least a have opengl [23:11] Argh! [23:11] studentz, shouldn`t xorg.conf be located in /etc/X11 [23:11] ? [23:12] AgresiV that is good enough. Yep [23:12] well [23:12] Have you all muted me or something? [23:12] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:12] I can`t find it.... [23:13] vcoolio-i solved it own my own,still thanks === Vituz is now known as Vitux [23:13] though i have another question [23:14] I need a good VPN for Ubuntu. Anyone know of any? [23:14] does anyone have experience with jackd? [23:14] 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] Which is the ubuntu dev channel? #ubuntu-dev is relatively deserted [23:14] studentz, take a look http://paste.ubuntu.com/603479/ [23:15] I installed guitarix/jackd the other day.. and ever since then I've got a weird echo on my sound [23:15] nothing I do seems to remove it [23:15] No, I have important _files_ on the windows partition, and soem good stuff on the old ubuntu one, to. [23:15] I've checked the forums [23:15] AgresiV try in a terminal sudo find / -type f xorg.conf [23:15] Er. [23:15] Barition? Boot loader? [23:16] heck I even uninstalled guitarix and jackd and makes no difference [23:16] i need help in finding good music player having playlist pane editor,not playlist queue [23:16] rhythmbox? :P [23:16] ls [23:16] lastoflast, whats wrong with rhythmbox/banshee? [23:17] studentz, there isn't much reason for an xorg.conf on most modern systems [23:17] studentz, I don't have one [23:17] vitux-brother they have playlist queue,i hate it. i need playlist pane editor just like in winamp,wmp,mediamonkey [23:17] find: ‘Xorg.conf’: No such file or directory [23:17] ic [23:18] attempting to install transmission-daemon to use web interface, anybody know where the files are so I can add my IP to the whitelist?

[23:18] dead [23:18] which is too bad cause I always loved xmms [23:18] eekTheCat May be you are right, but we are talking about a specific old hardware, like my laptop from 2001 [23:19] i want to automate a python job, but when i use cron to run it from some directory, the filenames in the script don't work anymore, like when i have "f = open('asd.log')" it doesnt open it in the script directory, but tries to open it in the cron directory, where it obviously does not exist. how can i execute a script with a custom working directory? [23:19] vitux- i have tried that,gmusic,exaile [23:19] and others [23:19] hmm [23:19] exaile? [23:19] in that case I don't fully understand your issue [23:19] Good grief [23:19] MoleMan: localhost:9091/transmission/web or try dpkg -L transmission-daemon; maybe /usr/share/transmission/web [23:20] studentz, find: ‘Xorg.conf’: No such file or directory [23:20] I have no idea what playlist pane editor would mean then.. [23:20] AgresiV, the command would be find / -name xorg.conf [23:20] can you be any more descriptive? [23:20] how can i execute a script with a manual workdir? [23:21] AgresiV Are you in Xubuntu? [23:21] do`h... thx [23:21] does anyone know the next alternative to kdenlive? I am having a few issues under natty :( [23:21] yep [23:21] lastoflast, i don't know what you mean either. just throwing Amarok out there as another possiblity [23:21] LjL, thanks a million =) [23:21] MnCC: did it? :) [23:21] yup [23:22] eekTheCat, glad to know I'm not the only lost one :) [23:22] studentz, /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/examples/xorg.conf [23:22] LjL, had some problems with gparted .. but im ok now =) [23:22] I'm looking at this bug report at the moment.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/542943 ..

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:23] I don't much use the playlists...

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] phed: how should I fix it? [23:30] Limada, several ways,, in terminal sudo nautilus,, then you can just drag and into that directory or paste it there [23:31] mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf xorg.conf.broken [23:31] reboot and test [23:31] Limada, the other way is to sudo mov name/of/webfolder /var/www [23:31] 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] or try to autogen a new xorg.conf file [23:31] Limada, sorry that is sudo mv not mov [23:31] coz_, thanks, I need to be root, ohhh....ok. I'll try that, thanks for your kindness. [23:32] Limada, no problem [23:32] Limada, yeah its easy when you do sudo nautilus... but just as easy with the sudo mv stuff as well [23:32] I'm also getting error : nosuch device, no such disk, need to load kernel first [23:32] Hi, anyone running natty on macbookpro7.1 ?

[23:34] 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? [23:34] so it will auto setup my screen again? [23:34] or any other way to fix it?? [23:35] #questioncopyright [23:35] 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] coz_ it worked, I did moved the folder there but firefox is now asking me what it should do with the file =/ [23:35] wut [23:36] 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] coz_ lol, ok. THanks anyway ;) [23:36] phed: I'm trying your first suggestion [23:37] Are you guys getting graphical issue in Natty? [23:37] phed: the first one works, I think :) [23:37] dibs, can you be a bit more specific? is this nvidia? [23:38] 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] coz_: ati, compiz, unity, when typing in a window nothing shows till I resize the window then it's fine for a while. [23:39] dibs, ah someone had this issue the other day,, I dont recall the solution,, gah [23:39] 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] 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] coz_: yeah it's not too bad but enough to bring me here [23:39] Okay, VPNs for Linux. Anyone know of a good service to use? [23:39] 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] cool beanstalk gl [23:40] coz_: so you think they resolved it? [23:41] I hear there are new ati drivers so I might try those? [23:41] 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] Belial`: Sounds like it's not recognizing your video card. You try installing restricted drivers maybe? [23:41] Kron, i have an optimus laptop (intel switchable to nvidia) but that doesn't work. [23:42] it always uses the intel chip which worked fine when i used unity after upgrading from 10.10 [23:42] 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] for some reason the clean install doesn't run it. [23:42] 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] dibs, I do recall asking to also join #radeon channel [23:43] coz_: thanks bro, will do! [23:43] dibs, he may have gotten it solved there :) === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [23:44] Belial`: You might not be the only one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/770685 [23:44] Ubuntu bug 770685 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) "there is no optimus support in linux" [Undecided,New] [23:45] 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] s/but button/button [23:46] 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] litropy_: You sure it's enabled in the BIOS? [23:46] but i wanted to try a clean install. [23:46] Kron, yes. [23:46] Belial`: I understand wanting a clean install :) [23:47] litropy_: I'm afraid my Bluetooth Dongle grew legs. I haven't played with it in Natty :/ [23:48] 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] Kron, wireless keyboards all the way! === funnylookinhat is now known as FunnyLookinHat === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [23:49] litropy_, hehe all my wireless keyboards are RF and the range is disappointing [23:49] ... radioing to a bluetooth card, hooked into an iMac, hooked into an HDTV!

[23:50] Kron, it works when I boot into OS X (not a fanboy). I'm using Refit to dual boot. [23:50] 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? === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [23:52] Now that I upgraded to ubuntu 11.04, it FRIED my monitor, what am I supposed to do about this? >:| [23:53] Kevin147, get a new monitor...yes? [23:53] If i install fedora along with ubuntu and windows 7 Will grub pick it up? is there any special installation procedure i have to do? [23:53] Kron, nothing bluetooth-related. [23:53] coz_: oh yeah totally, how about you buy me one? not my fault 11.04 FRIED my monitor! I'm ticked [23:54] how do i disable ubuntu one? [23:54] in ubuntu 11.04? [23:54] it was a brand new monitor, just got it over the time of the return date so yup >.> [23:54] I dont know why the operatings system would fry your monitor [23:54] Kevin147, well not trying to be flippant about it,, but ubuntu didnt fry the monitor [23:54] It was probably a coincidence [23:54] Cheese: new drivers = fry my monitor [23:54] yes it did [23:54] kevin147: if the refresh rate is wrong, that can do some damage. [23:54] Oh [23:54] Sucks [23:54] nope [23:54] it was 60Hz [23:54] Kevin147, which video card do you have? [23:54] idk, i can't see it? [23:55] Kevin147, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [23:55] kevin147: did you consider just contacting your monitor vendor and blaming them? [23:55] kevin147: just tell them it never worked in the first place and you want another one. [23:55] Kevin147, wait apparenlty you are not on linux ,, am I correct? [23:55] linux_is_my_hero: yes I tried that [23:55] didn't work because they say that Linux did it [23:55] litropy_, Found this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bluetooth/2011-March/009623.html [23:55] on my laptop atm, that has ubuntu [23:55] Kevin147, yeah ,, shows what they know [23:56] Are you sure it didnt fuck your video card? [23:56] Kron, browsing [23:56] Kevin147, ah ok [23:56] I'm switching over to pclinuxos gnome version [23:56] 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] 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 [23:57] 11.04 is slower than 10.10 was because it reenabled ubuntu one. how do i disable ubuntu one in 11.04?

[23:58] so bbl. [23:59] kevin147: have you tried connecting an HD video source via HDMI, like cable/sat/fios or a video game console? [23:59] Kron, sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart worked! thanks! [23:59] or an N64 via component :-D [23:59] litropy_, Great! [23:59] 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] and before 11.04 does anymore damage to my comp, I'm changing asap.
