| qin | Da|Mummy: Hm, I like Natty | 00:04 |
| Andy_C | ubuntu already has that driver precompiled in the repository | 00:04 |
| Da|Mummy | sorry | 00:04 |
| crazedpsyc | Maarten, the dash is way easier to use, and more productive than the old gnome menus | 00:04 |
| Da|Mummy | anyway, ive got no sound in flash now, whats the deal? | 00:04 |
| Andy_C | so is it safe to assume that the additional drivers program is installing everything correctly | 00:05 |
| Andy_C | or do I need to go in and blacklist some drivers, etc | 00:05 |
| cntrational | crazedpsyc: but it lacks a few important features like window lists | 00:05 |
| axewer | I installed ubuntu with an 8gb swap file. Is this overkill? | 00:05 |
| cntrational | so | 00:05 |
| === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK | ||
| crazedpsyc | cntrational, window lists? whaddaya mean? | 00:05 |
| syrinx_ | axewer: no need for that big of a swap, how much RAM do you have? | 00:05 |
| Trel | On Ubuntu server, how can I get fget? | 00:05 |
| cntrational | crazedpsyc: hm, well, have you used Windows 7/OS X? | 00:05 |
| Guest46116 | where can i get an anti-virus for ubuntu 11.4? | 00:06 |
| antiphysicist | you don't normally need one? | 00:06 |
| syrinx_ | Guest46116: don't need one | 00:06 |
| IdleOne | !antivirus | 00:06 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 00:06 |
| crazedpsyc | cntrational, a bit | 00:06 |
| needlez | Guest46116: you dont really need an AV | 00:06 |
| axewer | 4gb. but I assumed you always needed to double the size of the swap with however much ram you had. | 00:06 |

| Da|Mummy | i managed to transfer a virus from ubuntu to windows because ununtu somehow put a virus on my flash drive :{ | 00:07 |
| Guest46116 | thanks everyone . iwasn't sure | 00:07 |
| syrinx_ | axewer: lol no. swap is only used it you run out of ram, 1-2gb should be more than enough | 00:07 |
| crazedpsyc | cntrational, Oh, yeah.. The really do need to put that in | 00:07 |
| IdleOne | Da|Mummy: ubuntu didn't put anything on your flash drive. you put it there. | 00:07 |
| crazedpsyc | *they | 00:07 |
| Da|Mummy | if you already have 4gb of ram, what more could you possibly use | 00:07 |
| Andy_C | it talks about how the wl driver (whatever that is) will not work correctly if the ssb module is loaded | 00:07 |
| Da|Mummy | anyway, ive got no sound in flash now, whats the deal? | 00:08 |
| jgould | I hate broadcom... | 00:08 |
| axewer | syrinx_: Hahh big mistake then. Can I move that extra space into my ubuntu partition w/ out messing up grub? | 00:08 |
| cntrational | crazedpsyc: yeah, without it, there's already a bunch of problems; e.g. I have one nautilus window minimized -- how do I check what it is without switching to it? | 00:08 |
| Maarten | I have 8 Gb of RAM, and made a 2 Gb swap partition.... seemed good enough for me,. | 00:08 |
| syrinx_ | axewer: you can unmount the swap, resize it with gparted, and use it somewhere else, yes. boot into the livecd/usb to do it, so you can unmount everything safely | 00:10 |
| Maarten | I might wipe my 10.10 install on this comp, and install 11.04 on another though.... although I am still not entirely convinced about Unity. We'll see :) | 00:10 |
| Da|Mummy | how do i keep unity always showing? | 00:10 |
| crazedpsyc | cntrational, agreed. I wonder if there is an idea on brainstorm for that yet... | 00:10 |
| crazedpsyc | Da|Mummy, you mean the unity launcher? | 00:10 |
| Da|Mummy | ya | 00:10 |
| crazedpsyc | Da|Mummy, You have to change an option in ccsm | 00:11 |

| will_ | oh shit didnt realize it waz a support channel | 00:14 |
| crazedpsyc | Da|Mummy, the command is actually 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager' | 00:15 |

| acnot | Why would I? I have a stereo in my car | 00:16 |
| cntrational | tepster: yeah, but they're very rare | 00:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | tepster, linux viruses are more theoretical then actually out in the wild | 00:17 |
| Guest60820 | !list | 00:17 |

| acnot | Hopefully one that doesn't require an account or any software to be installed | 00:17 |
| tepster | ah, good to hear | 00:17 |
| cntrational | tepster: if Linux gets more popular, though, we could start seeing more out there | 00:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | cntrational, probably an inaccurate statement | 00:17 |
| wizworks | using Ubuntu 10.4. Video and Audio going via HDMI to receiver then to TV. Video blanks after few mins and will not recover. Please help. | 00:17 |
| cntrational | ZykoticK9: ? why | 00:17 |
| spankbot | cntrarional, what do you mean more popular? LNX is the #1 webserver OS | 00:18 |
| Da|Mummy | lord help me...i cant even figure out how to run terminal from this whole unity thing | 00:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | cntrational, "owning" a server would be much more appealing then a desktop, and linux servers don't have a virus issue (though they dominate the market) | 00:18 |
| genewitch | my wireless networking is on the fritz since upgrading to natty... ad hoc connection never comes up so i can share my mobile broadband | 00:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | cntrational, linux is more secure by default, then the OS with the virus issues (there is basically only on OS manufacturer with a real virus issue) | 00:19 |
| cntrational | spankbot, ZykoticK9: hm, fair point | 00:19 |
| genewitch | is there a way to reset everything? | 00:19 |
| tepster | Da|Mummy: type terminal in the search box | 00:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | s/on/one | 00:19 |
| Da|Mummy | nothing easier than that? | 00:19 |
| tepster | Da|Mummy: then you can pin it to the dashboard | 00:19 |

| Da|Mummy | ok so now why dont i have sound in flash? | 00:20 |
| spankbot | cntrational, no, I see your point too, in reference to the home user, your right about desktop visibility, LNX does not compare in numbers against Win/Mac | 00:20 |
| Jason- | what irc program is best to use in ubuntu | 00:20 |
| Da|Mummy | xchat | 00:20 |
| cntrational | spankbot: yeah | 00:20 |
| tranceNRG | can someone running 10.04 (64) get a checksum for me using this command: shasum /usr/bin/apt-get | 00:20 |
| trobrock | I need to in a one line command switch to root user and run a command, but that command relys on environment variable from the root user, so generally I have to do 'sudo su' then '/path/to/command' | 00:20 |
| Jason- | i using it now but i dont see the peoples nick on right side | 00:21 |
| mikeb123 | where can i find what wireless radio type im connected to (N or G) in ubuntu? | 00:21 |
| tepster | it seems most people use xchat | 00:21 |
| Maarten | cntrational: I'm thinking, if Linux needs to become more popular, I think the different distro's need to get together and come up with 1 installation standard.... replace .deb, .rpm, .whatever install files with a ".bin" (which already exists somewhat) that will install on ALL distros. Then commercial and game companies can come up with a one-click installer..... and that might bring more games to linux! :) | 00:21 |
| nerdshell | I'm trying to install dropbox from the source code, when I install the dependency : libnautilius-extension-dev, and run ./configure, it tells me that docutils was not found. what Can I do ? | 00:21 |
| cntrational | anyway, Linux anti-viruses are still useful -- you can scan Windows partitions using them | 00:21 |
| KM0201 | cntrational: are they actually effective at finding anything though? | 00:21 |
| xangua | nerdshell: or you could just install the prebuilded packages they provide | 00:21 |
| Da|Mummy | Jason-, i dont know what xchat youre using, but i see nicks on right side | 00:21 |
| cntrational | KM0201: yeah | 00:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | Maarten, choice is a good thing - no OS can be one size fits all | 00:21 |
| trobrock | I need to in a one line command switch to root user and run a command, but that command relys on environment variable from the root user, so generally I have to do 'sudo su' then | 00:21 |

| mikeb123 | where can i find what wireless radio type im connected to (N or G) in ubuntu? | 00:22 |

| cntrational | Maarten: a unified installer format has been proposed, actually -- iirc, it was recommended that all distros support .rpm | 00:22 |

| Da|Mummy | Jason-, try redownloading from download center | 00:23 |
| Maarten | ZykoticK9: yeah you got a point..... I just think Linux isn't going to grow much if all distro's keep in their own little corners..... We need to get game companies on board. 99% of games are pure data, only 1% is actual windows coding to run all that data..... but the differences between all the distros make it impossible for game companies to come up with releases for "generic linux". That's a shame. :( | 00:24 |

| petisnnake | maniak: 10.04 | 00:24 |
| xangua | Jason-: probaly installed 'gnome-xchat' ¿ just install normal xchat | 00:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | petisnnake, what graphics card are you using "lspci | grep -i vga" from a terminal if you aren't sure. | 00:24 |

| mikeb123 | where can i find what wireless radio type im connected to (N or G) in ubuntu? | 00:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | petisnnake, i've never heard of winfast before - best of luck. | 00:24 |
| Jason- | how do i get another one withnicks list on right side | 00:24 |
| maniak | winfast must be the manufacturer, you mean the nvidia one? | 00:25 |
| petisnnake | maniak: yes | 00:25 |
| KM0201 | zykes-: i could be wrong, but i think they are based on Intel | 00:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | Maarten, ever seen binary linux installs? they're out there, they aren't really "packaged" at all. | 00:25 |
| KM0201 | ZykoticK9: sorry.. nvidia (see abovve) | 00:25 |
| maniak | petisnnake, and there are no restricted drivers? | 00:25 |
| AaeRohn | *pokes around* anyone good at compiling Wine? | 00:25 |
| syrinx_ | mikeb123: iwconfig | 00:25 |
| petisnnake | maniak: no, the window is completely empty | 00:25 |
| mikeb123 | syrinx: thanks | 00:26 |
| maniak | petisnnake, well I'm no expert but you could try sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 00:26 |
| syrinx_ | !nouveau | petisnnake | 00:26 |
| ubottu | petisnnake: nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default in 10.04. Currently 3D rendering is unsupported. More information can be found in http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ - See also !nvidia | 00:26 |
| Maarten | ZykoticK9: Oh yeah, VMWare is a good example, it is a binary install that works on most, if not all distros. Either way, they only real reason I keep Windows installed on my systems.... is gaming. I have limited succes with Wine with some games, and they just run better in Windows 7. I just Wish the gaming industry would make Native Linux games more. :( | 00:27 |
| syrinx_ | nevermind | 00:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | KM0201, um, I've heard of these Intel/Nvidia hybrid cards - my understanding is they have little to no linux support (I hope I'm wrong), good luck petisnnake | 00:27 |
| KM0201 | we don't even know fo rsure he has an nvidia chipset yet..... | 00:27 |
| AaeRohn | Can anyone help me compile Wine? I don't want to screw anything up | 00:27 |
| petisnnake | Zykotick9 ty :) | 00:27 |
| KM0201 | and people are telling him to install noveau | 00:27 |
| petisnnake | maniak: thanks aill do that right away | 00:27 |
| maniak | The gtx 460 is an nvidia one | 00:27 |
| maniak | I have the same card | 00:27 |
| KM0201 | maniak: ok. | 00:28 |
| Da|Mummy | i have nvidia gfx, and it only asked to install additional drivers after the first reboot after getting the whole natty installation done | 00:28 |
| xangua | AaeRohn: or you could just install the package from repository | 00:28 |
| Da|Mummy | but once i installed said driver, i got no sound on flash, related? | 00:28 |
| syrinx_ | Da|Mummy: probably not | 00:28 |
| AaeRohn | Xangua: I'm trying to get League of Legends to work | 00:28 |
| Da|Mummy | so whats my problem then? | 00:28 |
| petisnnake | maniak: The problem is my network drivers are also lacking since I have to wait 10 seconds for a page to load | 00:28 |
| syrinx_ | Da|Mummy: most likely need to update flash | 00:28 |
| taiyal | how can you access SMB shares from the terminal in Ubuntu 11? In Ubuntu 10, you could just navigate to ~/.gvfs/ , but that seems to be disabled now. | 00:28 |
| maniak | Da|Mummy, 64 bit? | 00:29 |
| AaeRohn | Xangua: and the new patch prevents it from even running | 00:29 |
| Da|Mummy | it was working fine before reboot | 00:29 |
| Da|Mummy | 32bit | 00:29 |
| Da|Mummy | i had to reboot because i installed nvidia drivers, and no i have no sound in flash | 00:29 |
| Da|Mummy | firefox nor chrome | 00:29 |
| syrinx_ | uninstall the driver, restart, etc. see if it comes back | 00:29 |
| syrinx_ | if it does, then it's the driver | 00:30 |
| KM0201 | Da|Mummy: i dobut its related to the ggraphics driver.. check your sound levels, make sure you're not muted, etc | 00:30 |
| Da|Mummy | audacios works | 00:30 |
| maniak | petisnnake, did you try fiddling with connection settings? | 00:30 |
| uRock | what does a segmentation fault usually mean? | 00:30 |
| maniak | Da|Mummy, sounds flash related then | 00:30 |
| petisnnake | maniak: nope, dont even know where to start | 00:30 |

| Jason- | there i got it now | 00:31 |
| Jason- | i went to the search irc and it was in there as x-chat | 00:31 |
| maniak | petisnnake, should be a network icon right next to the sound icon in the top left panel. Clicking on it should give you an option of editing the settings | 00:31 |

| Coty91 | I can't seem to get it out of fallback mode. It won't use compiz by default no matter what I do. | 00:32 |
| xangua | AaeRohn: sudo apt-get install wine | 00:32 |
| Maarten | spankbot: after your register, you also need to identify to nickserv: /nickserv identify password | 00:32 |
| AaeRohn | Xangua: without apt | 00:32 |

| ZykoticK9 | cablop, i believe the regular Unity does yes, Unity 2D does not. | 00:46 |
| cablop | unity 2d? | 00:47 |
| xangua | !info unity-2d | cablop | 00:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | cablop, it's probably still "experimental" or something similar | 00:47 |

| Trel | Also, if I put a job at the background, how can I stop it from outputting unless it's at the foreground? | 00:48 |
| cablop | well if unity is simplier i wanted to run it as the gui of an ubuntu server, but if not, then plain gnome is enough | 00:48 |
| bruce_ | help | 00:48 |
| genewitch | Trel: > /dev/null | 00:49 |
| bruce_ | ahh | 00:49 |
| cablop | is unity lightweight enough to run as a server GUI? | 00:49 |
| syrinx_ | cablop: that would be a HUGE waste of RAM for a server | 00:49 |
| syrinx_ | better off not even running X | 00:49 |
| cablop | bruce_: ask your problem | 00:49 |
| tensorpudding | cablop: if you have accelerated graphics on your server, i guess? | 00:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | cablop, Unity is not lightweight, check out lxde | 00:49 |
| cablop | syrinx_: does it eat too much RAM? | 00:49 |
| Jason- | :) | 00:49 |
| bruce_ | first time using a terminal irc | 00:49 |
| Trel | genewitch: what if I didn't launch it with that? | 00:50 |
| syrinx_ | cablop: alot more than anything else; that would be highly impractical for a server your just going to ssh into | 00:50 |
| cablop | mmm i want to run it on nx, or vnc or any other similar thing... | 00:50 |
| genewitch | Trel: use screen or something next time | 00:50 |
| Trel | I'm going to | 00:50 |
| Trel | I'm in the process of reading the manual for that | 00:50 |
| Jason- | how do i change color peoples font color if i have made a background color dark | 00:50 |
| genewitch | Trel: switch terminals, for now | 00:50 |
| cablop | syrinx_: well, we got used to remotely use a GUI on the server, but not needing acceleration | 00:50 |
| geekmaster | Hello everyone | 00:51 |
| syrinx_ | cablop: you can install a lightweight WM, or LXDE | 00:51 |
| genewitch | cablop: you don't need a gui installed on the server, the vnc /remote desktop stuff runs on the client machine | 00:51 |
| Toph | is Unity 2D supposed to present the menu when you cursor the left side of the screen? Mind works only when i move to the top left corner | 00:51 |
| genewitch | cablop: install xorg and whatever desktop you want, it shouldn't affect the server | 00:51 |
| rach0 | cablop, usually you don't need a graphical frontend for a server machine not even X. you can administer trough ssh | 00:52 |
| cablop | i can just disable gdm to avoid starting it, but afaik, just the gdm is not weating resources | 00:52 |
| geekmaster | Can anyone help me? I'm havin problems installing ubuntu server 10.04.2. The cd always shows an error of corrupted files. | 00:52 |
| genewitch | broadcom wifi not working after natty upgrade, can someone tell me what to pastebin so i can make a phone call? | 00:52 |
| cablop | i know i can administer via ssh, but i need some users to perform tasks, they need a gui | 00:52 |
| genewitch | cablop: you can install whatever GUI you want. | 00:52 |
| genewitch | cablop: it runs on the remote machine, not the server | 00:53 |
| genewitch | it's not windows, where it's sending pictures. | 00:53 |
| cablop | genewitch: and how you open it remotely? | 00:53 |
| genewitch | cablop: you run ssh with -X and then type gdm or whatever | 00:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | genewitch, i think you are a little confused, VNC would require a GUI on the server | 00:53 |
| cablop | vnc and nx run it somehow in the server | 00:53 |
| genewitch | ZykoticK9: nosir | 00:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | genewitch, ssh is different, and you would be correct | 00:54 |
| rach0 | geekmaster, rund a sudo lshw -c network and show the results | 00:54 |
| pirx | hello! i just installed 11.04, and would really love to browse through some tutorial about Unity (since i cant get much work done when i dont know how to use it...:) ) | 00:54 |
| cablop | but in the other hand i remembered i used to open the remote firefox locally, using local resources | 00:54 |
| genewitch | ZykoticK9: vnc can run on a non-physical display like 0:2 | 00:54 |
| xangua | pirx: omg!ubuntu! blog has a tutorial | 00:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | genewitch, and what would vnc be showing? a terminal? | 00:54 |
| genewitch | two ways of accomplishing the same thing. vnc would show whatever gui you told 0:2 to have | 00:55 |
| cablop | then... if i ssh to the server and launch gedit, for example, i spawn it locally, right? | 00:55 |
| geekmaster | rach0, sorry, I'm not with the actual hardware right now. | 00:55 |
| genewitch | cablop: on the ssh client command line | 00:55 |
| genewitch | you need to have an x server on the remote machine | 00:55 |
| cablop | ok, but from windows they'll need the gui in the server if they use a nx client | 00:55 |
| pirx | xangua: link? | 00:55 |
| genewitch | ZykoticK9: i might be thinking of xvnc | 00:55 |
| xangua | pirx: google omg!ubuntu! | 00:56 |
| genewitch | cablop: no, they need an x server. there are a few free ones, xorg makes one that runs on windows, cygwin has one, etc | 00:56 |
| cablop | i liked nx, it is not oss, but it works | 00:56 |
| rach0 | geekmaster, oh ok. though it's strange the last time i had problems with broadcom wifi was 10.04. the new drivers are top-notch | 00:56 |
| pirx | is xangua a bot? | 00:56 |
| cablop | oh, then a windows x-server... good enough | 00:56 |
| genewitch | rach0: not working for me, the broadcom wifi | 00:56 |
| geekmaster | rach0, but maybe you can tell me. Do I required a CD or can I use a cd-rw to burn the iso? | 00:57 |
| genewitch | rach0: i even have the restricted drivers installed and the connection is greyed out on 1.04 | 00:57 |
| JoeMcc | Hello. Are there any ways to configure nautilus to run in a single workspace when running under fluxbox? | 00:57 |
| genewitch | 11.04* | 00:57 |
| xangua | pirx: just a guy that doesn't know all the url's in the world, google does ;) | 00:57 |
| === james is now known as Guest12458 | ||
| ZykoticK9 | JoeMcc, not that I'm aware of... good luck. | 00:58 |
| cablop | genewitch: ok, suppose i run it inside a virtual desktiop or remote view or whatever is it called, via vnc or nx or even teamviewer, then between unity and gnome... gnome, right? | 00:58 |
| rach0 | genewitch, generally there shouldn't be any difference if you use a plain cd or cd-rw. can you state the model of your wi-fi card? | 00:58 |
| pirx | xangua: ah, "!omg!ubuntu" was an actual website. it looked like some kind or irc-command to me:) | 00:58 |
| genewitch | rach0: wasn't my question :-) | 00:58 |
| Trel | One last question, when you have a process screen'd can you send a command to it without actually going back into that screen? | 00:58 |
| cablop | syrinx_: is lxde much different than gnome? | 00:59 |
| genewitch | Trel: no... terminals don't work that way | 00:59 |
| rach0 | genewitch, yeah i saw :) it's 3 a.m. and i'm a little sleepy | 00:59 |
| cablop | genewitch: ok, suppose i run it inside a virtual desktiop or remote view or whatever is it called, via vnc or nx or even teamviewer, then between unity and gnome... gnome, right? | 00:59 |
| JoeMcc | Damn. | 00:59 |
| Trel | so, I'd reattach the session, then do the command? | 00:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | cablop, look for some screenshots - it's certainly different | 00:59 |
| genewitch | Trel: you use screen so you can detach and have something running in the background and come back to it from a different computer or terminal | 00:59 |
| geekmaster | rach0, ups, I believe I used the wrong terms to explain my problem. I burned the Ubuntu server 10.0.2 to a CD-RW and while installing the base system... | 00:59 |
| geekmaster | a file corruption message appears. | 00:59 |
| syrinx_ | cablop: not really, no | 00:59 |
| genewitch | Trel: screen to start, ctrl-a-d to close it, screen -raAd to reinstate the previous screen session | 01:00 |
| Trel | genewitch: would screen -d -r <process ID> also work? | 01:00 |
| rach0 | geekmaster, it could be a bad cd. try burning a new one, run an test and reinstall | 01:01 |
| Trel | nvm | 01:01 |
| Trel | that was a stupid question | 01:02 |
| genewitch | Trel: -raAd. been using that for years. | 01:03 |

| xangua | FHtrain: reinstall | 01:06 |
| FordPrefect | rach0, Yes i did. | 01:07 |
| JoeMcc | ZykoticK9: FYI I found a workaround for my problem: "nautilus --no-desktop --browser" with fullscreen is damn near what I need | 01:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | JoeMcc, nice - thanks. | 01:07 |
| FHtrain | xangua, i dont have a 10.10 dvd | 01:08 |
| XXXX | where can i find settings or smt like this in the new ubuntu | 01:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | JoeMcc, i didn't fully understand your initial question then - I figured you wanted nautilus desktop working in one workspace | 01:08 |
| xangua | FHtrain: download it then | 01:08 |
| XXXX | preferences or something | 01:08 |
| FHtrain | xangua, can you recommend a safe site for downloading it? | 01:08 |
| xangua | FHtrain: ubuntu.com | 01:09 |
| rach0 | FordPrefect, uninstall and install again | 01:10 |
| FordPrefect | I've done that several times. | 01:10 |
| JoeMcc | Yeah I'm sure I don't always use the proper language, In icon mode in full screen, i can do all i need in one workspace for file management, and keep the others free. (the fluxbox menu gets over-ridden by nautilus which was the start of my confusion) | 01:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | FordPrefect, does running gvim from a terminal give any error messages? | 01:11 |
| FHtrain | where is the option to downgrade to 10.10 on ubuntu.com? | 01:11 |
| FordPrefect | It doesn't do anything at all in terminal. | 01:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | FHtrain, there is no downgrade, other then a reinstall | 01:11 |
| FordPrefect | I type it in terminal and then there is a big space tab in terminal | 01:11 |
| FordPrefect | Like I could type this: | 01:11 |

| FHtrain | ZykoticK9, yes | 01:13 |

| tomekh | hi. i have played around with apt-get and did something like "apt-get remove --purge python*", it gave me some error but nothing happened. am I fine with my system? | 01:14 |
| FordPrefect | I will thanks rach0 | 01:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | rach0, "whereis gvim" is easier ForceDestroyer | 01:14 |
| tomekh | no packages were selected for removal or something? | 01:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | tab fail :( | 01:15 |
| hiexpo | tomekh, because you were not root why you wanna remove python ? | 01:16 |
| tomekh | hiexpo: i did that with sudo | 01:16 |
| tomekh | hiexpo: i just was experimenting | 01:17 |
| FHtrain | ZykoticK9, i didnt have 10.10 before installing 11.04. i had an older version of ubuntu. does that matter? | 01:17 |
| hiexpo | tomekh, you need pythongood thing it did not remove | 01:17 |
| genewitch | fifth reboot seemed to fix my wireless | 01:18 |
| tomekh | hiexpo: how can i check that it didn't select some packages for removal? | 01:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | FHtrain, in order to upgrade you can only do one version at a time, so if you upgraded to 11.04, you had to go to 10.10 first... | 01:18 |
| genewitch | my phone is still having issues | 01:18 |
| tomekh | is there any command for this kind of operation? | 01:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | FHtrain, irrelevant to the fact that downgrades are non-supported | 01:18 |
| hiexpo | tomekh, the output would have told you | 01:18 |
| tomekh | hiexpo: tha's the point. i've seen some messages like "selected package xyz for removal" or so | 01:19 |
| FHtrain | ZykoticK9, i guess i must have done a fresh install, i dont recall | 01:19 |
| Big_Mig | hi I recently uprgraded from 10.04 to 11.04 and i am unable to use Unity I am only able to go in using classic ubuntu I know this is a NVIDa related issue im sure Im using a GEforce FX 5200 the additional drivers thing says my driver is activated but not in use. I saw a similar bug and tried the resolutions which didnt work. any suggestions guys? | 01:20 |
| FHtrain | ZykoticK9, ok thanks. i'm just having trouble playing video on 11.10. maybe i should just wait it out | 01:20 |
| FHtrain | 11.04 i meant | 01:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | FHtrain, lol - 11.10 i was gonna ask what interface that uses ;) | 01:20 |

| ratcheer | Big_Mig: In the system menu, there should be an nvidix x server settings app. Run it and it should tell you your version. Or, you could run "aptitude show nvidia-graphics-drivers-173" | 01:27 |
| bazhang | cntb, firefox addon video download helper | 01:27 |
| Big_Mig | i got unable to locate that package. what do i type in terminal to fetch it. sorry weak command line skills | 01:28 |
| Da|Mummy | how do i get unity bar to always show? | 01:29 |
| unforgiven512 | Is there a way to force Banshee to transcode music to, say, OGG when copying it to a media player? | 01:29 |
| coz_ | Da|Mummy, open ccsm click on the unity plugin | 01:30 |
| Big_Mig | in X server settings it says I AM using 173.14.30 | 01:30 |
| ratcheer | You might be able to run the same command with apt-get instead of aptitude, but since I don't use apt-get, I don't know for sure. | 01:30 |
| Big_Mig | does it hurt to try anyway? | 01:30 |
| coz_ | Da|Mummy, I believe if you set that to "Never" it stays on the deskto | 01:30 |
| coz_ | dsktop | 01:30 |
| === mike is now known as Guest243 | ||
| ratcheer | Big_Mig: Oh, then according to X Server Settings, you do have the latest release for Natty. | 01:31 |
| arand | ratcheer: Big_Mig: the equivalent is "apt-cache show ..." | 01:31 |
| bazhang | unforgiven512, no you would need sound converter or the like to do that | 01:31 |
| ratcheer | arand: Thanks | 01:31 |
| Da|Mummy | what the... | 01:31 |
| Da|Mummy | i disabled unity, now i cant even minimize xchat... | 01:31 |
| Big_Mig | so, if I do have the correct version, what do I do like I said the driver says its activated but not in use | 01:33 |
| Big_Mig | i tried disabling and reinstall | 01:33 |
| Axlin|MB | Da|Mummy: do you mean the unity plugin in ccsm? you need to leave that on | 01:33 |
| Da|Mummy | ok so where do i set it so it always shows? | 01:33 |
| ratcheer | Big_Mig: I believe that message is erroneous, i.e., its a bug. | 01:33 |
| Jasonn | When I look on my processes, I see that there is like 30-50 instances of some processes. | 01:33 |
| Da|Mummy | instead of minimizing | 01:33 |
| Jasonn | and | 01:33 |
| Axlin|MB | Da|Mummy: inside the plugin settings, there's a "hide launcher" option. set it to never | 01:34 |
| Big_Mig | gotcha. im I out of luck for the time being? | 01:34 |
| Da|Mummy | where are you seeing this plugin setting in ccsm? | 01:35 |
| Axlin|MB | Da|Mummy: click on the text, "ubuntu unity plugin," that resides within ccsm. it has the purple ubuntu logo next to it. then it's in that screen | 01:35 |
| ratcheer | Big_Mig: No, I think everything is ok with your video driver. It is supposed to support the latest X.Org server in Natty. I don't know if your card can handle Unity 3D, though. | 01:35 |
| Da|Mummy | oh i see...thx | 01:35 |
| Big_Mig | that must be the case then. | 01:36 |
| Big_Mig | i appreciate your help | 01:36 |
| Big_Mig | a little disappointed | 01:36 |
| ratcheer | Big_Mig: If you have a PC where you can open the case and install a new video card, you can get a much nicer card in the $40 range. | 01:37 |
| DanaG1 | I'm using Unity on a 915GM. Works, once I forced "intel" instead of "fbdev". | 01:38 |

| coz_ | giacomo_c, when that opens go to Settings / Repositories and on the second tab tick all boxes | 01:40 |
| ssfdre38 | ok first i asked in #kubuntu does anyone know where the default images are at for the log-in and for the desktop | 01:40 |

| rach0 | Big_Mig, see if it returns sthg | 01:41 |
| giacomo_c | ok coz_ | 01:41 |
| coz_ | giacomo_c, when the list opens scroll down,, now if you want just the plugin then install sun-java6-plugin | 01:41 |
| coz_ | giacomo_c, if you want the who shabang then tick all the boxes :) | 01:41 |
| Big_Mig | did i do something wrong, that just went back to prompt | 01:42 |
| photon | I'm using this line to index all files under "/": sudo ls -laR / &> root_index.txt … How can I do it so that root_index.txt contains an automatically generated timestamp like root_index_20110505_204100.txt? | 01:42 |

| ChronicSyncope | how do i keep 10.10 from upgrading? | 01:43 |
| coz_ | FHtrain, you could install 10.04 and upgrade I believe | 01:44 |
| giacomo_c | coz_, i'm not seeing sun-java anything | 01:44 |
| coz_ | FHtrain, wait actually there is a place ,, let me see if I can find it | 01:44 |
| giacomo_c | well, there's sun-javadb | 01:44 |
| rach0 | Big_Mig, no you didn't. There was a bug with some nvidia cards connected to the memory allocation but i guess it's not that after it gave you a empty prompt | 01:44 |
| ratcheer | Big_Mig: No, it just didn't find what he had you looking for. | 01:44 |
| FHtrain | coz_, they offer 10.04.2,but not 10.10 | 01:44 |
| coz_ | giacomo_c, is this ubuntu 11.04? | 01:44 |
| giacomo_c | coz_, yup | 01:44 |
| coz_ | FHtrain, hold on | 01:44 |
| Byan | why the hell is it when I try to remove synaptic apt-get tries to install a ton of shit?? | 01:44 |
| FHtrain | coz_, ok | 01:44 |
| bazhang | Byan, no cursing please | 01:44 |
| Byan | I've never heard of things installing when trying to remove.. | 01:44 |
| Byan | sorry | 01:45 |
| bazhang | giacomo_c, you added partner repo? | 01:45 |
| coz_ | giacomo_c, then under settings /repositories you did not tick all of the boxes and or you did NOt reload with the Reload button | 01:45 |
| photon | lowridah: I was more looking for a way that automatically fetches the date/time and generates a corresponding file name. | 01:45 |
| rach0 | Big_Mig, sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log and send me what it displays | 01:46 |
| FordPrefect | I just deleted a program with sudo apt- purge <program name>\ | 01:46 |
| giacomo_c | coz_, i have restricted, universe, and mulituniverse, and i've hit reload (but i've had those loaded since i installed 11.04 | 01:46 |
| FordPrefect | When I type it in locate <program> it still shows there are tons of files asosciated with it | 01:46 |
| FordPrefect | why? | 01:46 |
| bazhang | !partner | giacomo_c | 01:46 |
| ubottu | giacomo_c: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 01:46 |
| Big_Mig | @rach8 brings back a lot of stuff, what line I am I looking for | 01:47 |
| coz_ | giacomo_c, open settings. repositories and in the second tab make sure all boxes are ticked not the first tab | 01:47 |
| coz_ | giacomo_c, then hit the reload button | 01:47 |
| websiteguy | hello | 01:47 |

| FordPrefect | I put in the code you gave me. | 01:54 |

| bazhang | expecto, why would you want to | 02:11 |
| aeon-ltd | expecto: backup, reinstall - same thing imo | 02:11 |
| expecto | it is freezing all the time | 02:11 |
| cablop | did somebody got xming and putty to work on windows to remotely display gui apps on Windows? | 02:11 |
| low_cpu | i want to run the install from my current installed ubuntu 10.04 it's possible ? | 02:11 |
| jdobrien | expecto, what are you running on? | 02:11 |
| low_cpu | aeon-ltd ? | 02:11 |
| bazhang | expecto, better to fix it then, asking here would be better in that regard | 02:11 |
| mynotes | how to return the default setting of my ubuntu | 02:11 |
| expecto | 1gb | 02:11 |
| bazhang | mynotes, you dont | 02:11 |
| jdobrien | expecto, are you running 11.04? | 02:12 |
| expecto | maverick | 02:12 |
| Da|Mummy | your just suffer with notty right now | 02:12 |
| bazhang | mynotes, if you are referring to without subsequent upgrades | 02:12 |
| Da|Mummy | unity is where ubuntu dies | 02:12 |
| rach0 | cablop, you mean remotely connect to a ubuntu machine through windows? | 02:12 |
| connor__ | make my pc faster tech guys | 02:12 |
| bazhang | Da|Mummy, thats not necessary nor ontopic here | 02:12 |
| expecto | when i first installed it was fine | 02:12 |
| expecto | now its incredibly slow and freezes | 02:12 |
| connor__ | so do i just uninstall unity | 02:12 |
| FordPrefect | Here it is jrib....http://pastebin.com/XPEsnM7J | 02:13 |
| brewster | out of curiosity, is anyone here an Ubuntu developer? | 02:13 |
| bazhang | connor__, try unity-2d as I said before | 02:13 |
| cablop | rach0: yep | 02:13 |
| logdog16 | Hi all I am hving a huge graphics problen on 11.04 running live USB on an HP laptop the display has a ton of what I can best describe as blinds with lines and gradients and the right side of the screen overlaps onto the left | 02:13 |
| forkk13 | Hello | 02:13 |
| jdobrien | connor__, you can boot without it when you login | 02:13 |
| Da|Mummy | yeah really, how do i just get rid of unity all together and go back to maverick interface | 02:13 |
| jrib | FordPrefect: I don't see where you can be getting untrusted packages from. Maybe we should just troubleshoot your vim issue? | 02:13 |
| xangua | !info unity-2d | connor__ | 02:13 |
| ubottu | connor__: unity-2d (source: unity-2d): Unity interface for non-accelerated graphics cards. In component main, is optional. Version 3.8.4.1-0ubuntu1 (natty), package size 7 kB, installed size 124 kB | 02:13 |
| cablop | i opened firefox and other graphical apps via ssh in other linux, i wonder if i can do the same in Windows | 02:13 |
| bazhang | Da|Mummy, choose classic at login | 02:13 |
| connor__ | boot without unity | 02:13 |
| FordPrefect | jrib, I think that would be a good idea. | 02:13 |
| Da|Mummy | i cant choose anything on login...? | 02:14 |
| merlin2049er | hey | 02:14 |
| bazhang | connor__, choose classic at login | 02:14 |
| logdog16 | what should I do? | 02:14 |
| cablop | !classic | 02:14 |
| ubottu | 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. | 02:14 |

| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| mynotes | bazhang: thank you very much | 02:18 |
| bazhang | Da|Mummy, there is no 11.11 so need to say it | 02:18 |
| cablop | what do you think about this setup... i need a linux server, but i don't have the hardware now, it suffered a lil damage, by now i'm planning to run it inside a VM in another computer running Windows, once hardware is back to work i just move the disk to the other computer and keep it working the same, but to not to use the VM gui i plan to use any windows x-server for that (in fact when... | 02:18 |
| cablop | ...i'll move the server to the real machine things will keep working the same)... sounds good enough? | 02:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | low_cpu, you can dual boot various ubuntus (or other linux distros quite easily) | 02:18 |
| Da|Mummy | sorry, 11.04 | 02:18 |
| rach0 | logdog16, what's your video card? | 02:18 |
| Ford | jrib, I am back sorry. | 02:18 |
| arand | low_cpu: Oh, in that case, it is possible to install via chrooting, however it is rather tricky, I'm not sure if you can use ubiquity i´on a running install. | 02:19 |
| xiong | low_cpu, YMMV but I get better results with fresh installs than with "live" upgrades. | 02:19 |
| Ford | What do you suggest I do about the unresponsive Gvim ? | 02:19 |
| jdobrien | expecto, the reason I ask is if something you recently installed slowed your system down, you can use software-center and use history to see what may have been installed | 02:19 |
| spark_ | xangua I put the pakage list or only the name ? | 02:19 |
| logdog16 | rach0 where do i find that the sticker says nvidia | 02:19 |
| jrib | Ford: what do you mean by "unresponsive" exactly? Does the issue exist with a fresh new user? | 02:19 |
| arand | low_cpu: So I would assume that in most cases it would not be worth the hassle trying to do it that way.. | 02:19 |
| Ford | No it exists with my root account | 02:19 |
| low_cpu | ? | 02:19 |
| low_cpu | how to do so ? | 02:19 |
| LAcan | thx jrib | 02:20 |
| FordPrefect | jrib, when I click on the Gvim icon in my applications area it doesnt do anything. | 02:20 |

| rach0 | :) | 02:20 |
| coz_ | good time to log off ,, no one will be the wiser :) | 02:20 |
| Ford | jrib, what I mean is that when I click on the icon or try to run it in terminal | 02:20 |
| Ford | nothing happens | 02:21 |
| bazhang | coz_, :) | 02:21 |
| jrib | Ford: what are you typing in a terminal? | 02:21 |
| coz_ | ok guys ,, I definintly need to break here,, be back later :) | 02:21 |

| Ford | No. | 02:22 |

| Ford | No output is returned. | 02:22 |
| jrib | Ford: does the issue persist with a fresh new user? | 02:22 |
| cntrational | I'm having problems with X -configure, can someone help? | 02:22 |
| Ford | I have not tried it with a new user. | 02:22 |

| logdog16 | I am running system testing and on the XRANDR cycle test there was one mode that looked perfect how do i get that setting the rest have the problem! | 02:23 |

| edbian | s0|: What driver do you have installed? | 02:34 |
| edbian | hiexpo: :) | 02:34 |
| s0| | edbian, before the upgrade I had been usinging whatever ubuntu installed as the nvidia driver. after the upgrade I haven't a clue. | 02:34 |
| s0| | since the nvidia module won't load. | 02:34 |
| edbian | s0|: pastebin sudo lspci -k ?? | 02:34 |
| s0| | sure once sec | 02:35 |

| nessonic | I'm having a GRUB 2 issue, I am unable to change the order of ubuntu 10.10 and the server edition | 02:36 |
| s0| | edbian, I can probably paste my /var/log/Xorg.0.log if you need that as well. | 02:37 |
| hylian | nessonic, are you asking how to change the boot order, or are you saying you followed those steps and it still didn't work? | 02:38 |
| chelz | i'm having an issue with ufw/iptables where my logfiles have a ton of entries for a single port and i would rather not log these entries, so i added a line to after.rules that i thought would stop it, but it doesn't seem to be working. this person seems to be experiencing the exact same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1330490 any ideas? | 02:38 |
| Kane` | ubuntu-10.04.2-server-i386.iso written to a USB stick with both Universal USB Installer and Unetbootin is failing to install. gets to the Detect and Mount CD-rom stage and stops. can't find the device | 02:38 |
| s0| | I guess "bricked" might have been overstating thing. just have GUI fail after using dist-upgrade. | 02:38 |
| Kane` | known issue? | 02:38 |
| edbian | s0|: nouveau is running. Let's try the proprietary drivers. sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 02:38 |
| edbian | s0|: Far from bricked :) | 02:38 |
| cntrational | is there any way for me to force a resolution? | 02:38 |
| s0| | sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 02:39 |
| s0| | err | 02:39 |
| nessonic | hylian, I followed the steps as in editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom into what I wanted, sudo update-grub, and grub.cfg shows what I want it seems. However, upon boot, the grub 2 menu does not match up | 02:39 |
| techhelper1 | Kane`: because a usb flash drive is not a carom drive | 02:39 |
| s0| | whoops, nvidia-current is already the "latest" | 02:39 |
| techhelper1 | carom drive*, it needs to mount a physics filesystem from a cd | 02:39 |
| techhelper1 | physical* | 02:39 |
| Kane` | techhelper1, obviously. the installer asks if i want to load the shit from my removable media. i choose yes and that failes | 02:39 |
| s0| | "nvidia-current is already the newest version." is what I got. | 02:39 |
| hiexpo | go to nvidia they are starting to support linux and add there ppa's | 02:39 |
| hylian | nessonic, i am pretty sure you can no longer directly edit files, unlike grub 1. this might be the reason why. where you trying to remove an entry, move them around, set another os as the default boot? | 02:40 |
| edbian | s0|: Then remove the nouveau package to make it use the binary driver. sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 02:40 |
| edbian | hiexpo: That's probably overkill right now. | 02:40 |
| XGD_Vicious | could anyone help me with this stupid grub 21 error im getting. | 02:40 |
| edbian | The problem is that the system chooses the open source driver to load at boot time when it has the choice | 02:41 |
| XGD_Vicious | been trying to fix it all day | 02:41 |
| edbian | not that the nvidia-current package is old | 02:41 |
| hylian | XGD_Vicious, tell us, what's the error? | 02:41 |
| s0| | edbian, reboot after that ? | 02:41 |
| edbian | s0|: Yeah (it did something right?) | 02:41 |
| XGD_Vicious | i have a dell tower | 02:41 |
| Griemak | edbian: blacklist Nouveau | 02:41 |
| XGD_Vicious | and after the dell start up menu i get a grub 21 error | 02:41 |
| s0| | it did remove : xserver-xorg-video-all ... | 02:41 |
| s0| | and | 02:41 |
| edbian | Griemak: If the package is not install that's the same effect | 02:42 |
| edbian | s0|: That's fine | 02:42 |
| s0| | Removing xserver-xorg-video-nouveau ... | 02:42 |
| edbian | s0|: perfect | 02:42 |
| hiexpo | I had to cause of the kernal change so wrote a driver they love it and are very helpfu l | 02:42 |
| s0| | k - remoting kicking the box. | 02:42 |
| edbian | s0|: Haha, what command is that? | 02:42 |
| hylian | XGD_Vicious, i will look into that for you, give me a second... | 02:43 |
| edbian | hiexpo: rephrase that please? | 02:43 |
| s0| | sudo reboot now with a wall msg that isn't nice enough to post here | 02:43 |
| XGD_Vicious | thanks mate | 02:43 |
| nessonic | hylian, I'm trying to move them around. Guides online say for grub 2, you edit the etc/grub.d files, then update-grub, and it configures grub.cfg for you | 02:43 |
| edbian | s0|: ha. K :) | 02:43 |
| XGD_Vicious | been researching it all day. lots of people have been getting it | 02:43 |
| s0| | I don't really like it when that box looses it's GUI, the dell monitor attached to it keeps "auto-adjusting" stuff off the screen. | 02:44 |
| XGD_Vicious | btw i have backtrack installed onto an external drive | 02:44 |
| edbian | s0|: ha. I take it that the graphics did not come back? | 02:44 |
| s0| | but only does that when it's on CLI. so I assume now that it's rebooted and I am back at CLI I should ... reinstall stuff? | 02:44 |
| s0| | edbian, no love yet. | 02:45 |
| edbian | s0|: What do you mean you assume? | 02:45 |
| ubuntu | hello, I updated to ubuntu 11.04 and I tried to boot but grub was messed up, how can I fix it??? | 02:45 |
| CaveMan | yo guyz | 02:45 |
| CaveMan | wassap | 02:45 |
| hylian | nessonic, hmmm, i think your right. let me take a look at that.. | 02:45 |
| XGD_Vicious | hey man | 02:45 |
| s0| | edbian, I am guessing that the next steps, that is what I ment by assume. | 02:45 |
| hiexpo | edbian, i wrote a kernal patch and submitted it to nvividia they are using it :) for the the 2.6.38.5 and it works great | 02:45 |
| edbian | hiexpo: Do you have a suggestion for s0| ? | 02:45 |
| CaveMan | guyz.... i was using unity for one week | 02:45 |
| edbian | s0|: I'd be interested in seeing lspci -k again. And your xorg log | 02:45 |
| CaveMan | and i like unity a lot, but i switched back to gnome | 02:46 |
| s0| | lscpi is going to change after that ? | 02:46 |
| CaveMan | cause i miss 2 things | 02:46 |
| edbian | s0|: It should list a different driver in use by the card now. | 02:46 |
| CaveMan | i really like to see al the open windows in a bar | 02:46 |
| edbian | s0|: It should list nvidia instead of nouveau | 02:46 |
| hylian | XGD_Vicious, it sounds like you either have a problem with a device mismatch, are you running any sata drives with ide? this is just a plain dell tower, right? | 02:46 |
| zen | . | 02:46 |

| amin__ | hi any suggestion on how to install and use gnome3 on ubuntu 10.10 | 02:48 |
| XGD_Vicious | i use an ATI radeon hd 4670 | 02:48 |
| s0| | http://pastebin.com/8dmVbbC3 | 02:48 |
| xangua | !gnome3 | 02:48 |
| xangua | amin__: use the Experimental PPA on your own risk | 02:48 |
| ubottu | Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 02:48 |

| edbian | Problem | 02:49 |
| chelz | i'm basically going off of a totally stock ufw install, with the only rules i figure are to avoid logging info about certain noisy things and drop obvious things like invalid packets. so my syslog is full of these: "May 5 17:00:33 ubuntu kernel: [202917.172742] [UFW BLOCK] IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:00 SRC=192.168.1.4 DST=192.168.1.255 LEN=186 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=2190 DPT=2190 | 02:49 |

| jetole | needlez: yes but I don't recall | 02:53 |
| hylian | XGD_Vicious, you know, i don't know. I have had problems with sata/ide mismatching, but mostly with ubuntu putting the boot loader on the wrong drive, for instance, i would install to my sata, but without asking me it would put grub on the ide. so i am guessing here. | 02:53 |
| edbian | s0|: Griemak I see an error when it attempts to load nouveau. My best guess is to install nvidia-173 | 02:53 |
| jetole | needlez: check the man page or join #mplayer and you might get a quicker answer | 02:53 |
| edbian | Griemak: Where do you see that we're trying to load nvidia-173 ? | 02:53 |

| hylian | nessonic, from what i read, that whould work, you got me stumped here, i think you need a more qualified grub man. | 02:54 |
| Griemak | ebdian: http://pastebin.com/Bm1gkNbG line 74 | 02:54 |
| edbian | s0|: I'm in over my head now too :) We're learning! | 02:54 |
| XGD_Vicious | im new to linux however so i dont exactly know how to locate the grub boot file | 02:54 |
| s0| | nvidia-173 is already the newest version\ | 02:54 |
| nessonic | hylian: okay, thank you | 02:54 |
| edbian | Griemak: Why is the system trying to install this driver? | 02:54 |
| s0| | nvidia 173 was already there | 02:54 |
| nessonic | anyone else know a bit about grub 2? | 02:54 |
| hylian | XGD_Vicious, grub 2 has a few files. and unless you are using a really old verion of ubuntu, that's what your using. | 02:55 |
| edbian | Griemak: s0| says it's already installed? | 02:55 |
| s0| | it was | 02:55 |
| chelz | nessonic: i do kinda. lemme read the backlog | 02:55 |
| s0| | (and still is) | 02:55 |
| XGD_Vicious | i'm using backtrack 4 | 02:55 |
| guesy | hylian, i have an application with the name agnclient:i386 in the list of installed softwares... ho do I uninstall it.. I cannot find it when I run spt-get remove agnclient ??? | 02:55 |
| Griemak | edbian & s0|: Nvidia-173 is a fallback driver for older cards/chips. Nvidia-current is 260+ version. What graphics card/chip do you have? (lets start with which version SHOULD be there) :) | 02:55 |
| xangua | XGD_Vicious: backtrack is not supported here | 02:55 |

| XGD_Vicious | is there a channel you would recommend i move to for support? | 02:56 |
| phungvantu | hi all | 02:56 |
| chelz | nessonic: you sure grub2 is installed in only one place / properly? | 02:56 |
| s0| | nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8500 GT] (rev a1) | 02:56 |
| nessonic | cheiz: how would I check? | 02:56 |
| s0| | (well that is what I got lspci -k) | 02:56 |
| s0| | and that sounds right | 02:56 |
| tx0105 | does anyone know what repo pre-release video drivers are on? | 02:57 |
| hylian | guesy apt-get is very specific, it could be named something slightly different, and apt-get wouldnt see it. for instance, sudo apt-get install icedtea6plugin gets you nothing, but add a dash, icedtea6-plugin, and whalla. try using sudo synaptic, and searching for it in there. | 02:57 |
| edbian | s0|: lspci wouldn't lie about that :) | 02:57 |
| s0| | so - sorta old in the GPU world. | 02:57 |
| chelz | nessonic: uhm, just you would remember if you installed grub before | 02:57 |
| tx0105 | i think there is a new xserver-xorg video driver out there but not released yet | 02:57 |
| tx0105 | that will hopefully fix my video issues | 02:57 |
| Griemak | s0|: fist step, let's jump over to Nvidia.com and see what they recommend: which is the 270 version (I already checked) | 02:57 |
| chelz | nessonic: what are you trying to do by editing 40_custom? | 02:58 |
| guesy | hylian: i searched in the synaptic package manager for agn.. and i cannot find anything | 02:58 |
| nessonic | cheiz: the only installs I did were through the live cds. I have ubuntu 10.10 and the 10.10 server edition. Server comes first, and with a ~3 second grub time it can be annoying to try switching to basic 10.10 quickly | 02:58 |
| Griemak | s0|: can you list all packages installed with "nvidia" in them? | 02:58 |
| hylian | guesy, ok, let me take a crack at it, what is it called exactly and how did you install it? | 02:58 |
| s0| | Griemak: if this was rpm I would know how but don't with apt.... | 02:58 |
| nessonic | cheiz: all I want to do is move the server below 10.10 in the menu. Which is how the 40_custom is setup, but it doesn't correlate over upon bootup | 02:59 |
| s0| | what is rpm -qa | grep in ubuntu land ? | 02:59 |
| guesy | hylian: I installed ia32libs | 02:59 |
| guesy | then installed it with --force architechture option | 02:59 |

| inimeg | hello all | 03:00 |
| Griemak | s0|: dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia | 03:00 |
| chelz | nessonic: do they appear in the proper order in grub.cfg? | 03:00 |
| hylian | guesy, what was the name of the file or deb package for the forced install of agn? | 03:00 |
| spark_ | :( seams that I will have to do a full install again ... | 03:00 |
| s0| | http://pastebin.com/VcMQ4Z63 | 03:01 |
| s0| | so a few oldies. | 03:01 |
| guesy | hylian: that deb i installed was i386 I installed it on my 64bit Ubuntu. This is the exact name of the deb file I installed "agnclient_1.0~2.0.1.3003-4_i386.deb" | 03:01 |
| LAcan | Does anyone know how I get the network manager icon in systray over FreeNX? | 03:01 |
| nessonic | cheiz: no, it seems it is loading 10_linux, which is not in grub.d anymore. This is the list where they are out of order | 03:01 |
| Griemak | s0|: that's okay. Let's purge nvidia-173 and reinstall nvidia-current afterwards | 03:02 |
| hylian | guesy, i see, you forced a 32 bit client install on a 64 bit os... hmm, let me take a look at it. | 03:02 |
| phungvantu | hi all | 03:02 |
| chelz | nessonic: rename your 40_custom to 06_custom | 03:02 |
| arnaudog | hey i'm mew to ubuntu and i've been trying to install a broadcom wifi card for 2 hours now, any help? | 03:03 |
| phungvantu | is there any way to create a ubuntu app quickly? | 03:03 |
| s0| | so just purge 173 ? not 185 ? | 03:03 |
| chelz | nessonic: also make sure it's marked executable, along with the other stuff mentioned here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Custom Menu Entries | 03:03 |
| nessonic | it's currently renamed to 10_linux, though grub.cfg loads mine, then it loads this unknown 10_linux that isn't mine. The one it loads first (mine) doesn't list my order | 03:03 |
| guesy | hylian: yeah, that was what I did | 03:03 |
| chelz | nessonic: rename your 40_custom to 06_custom | 03:03 |
| chelz | nessonic: also make sure it's marked executable, along with the other stuff mentioned here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Custom Menu Entries | 03:03 |
| hylian | guesy, anythign listed in ubuntu software center under installed software? this should show up... are you shure it installed? | 03:04 |

| s0| | *dir's | 03:04 |
| chelz | nessonic: or rename what you made 10_linux. you should leave your 10_linux alone | 03:05 |
| hylian | guesy, you can use that same deb file to remove, *i think*. i have never had anyone forcible install cross platform like that... | 03:05 |
| s0| | Griemak: still go a head and install nivida-current ? | 03:05 |
| rchavik | why bash completion won't expand environment variables in 11.04? | 03:05 |
| nessonic | cheiz: I believe I removed the 10_linux, though it appears to be somewhere as it still loads in grub.cfg | 03:05 |
| Griemak | s0|: they're shared, it's okay (this is dirty, cleanup will be easier when x starts) can you reinstal nvidia-current without error? | 03:06 |
| s0| | no | 03:06 |
| s0| | unless I should be using a diffrent command other than sudo apt-get install nvidia-curreent | 03:06 |
| s0| | (spelled right of course) | 03:06 |
| s0| | it says it's already there and up2date | 03:06 |
| hylian | s0|, one less e, in current.. :) | 03:06 |
| Griemak | s0|: yes, try: apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current | 03:07 |
| chelz | nessonic: yeah. that's okay to have. have your custom stuff be 06_custom | 03:07 |
| hylian | guesy, any luck? | 03:07 |
| s0| | ok it is reinstalling | 03:07 |

| proxeneta | hi | 03:11 |
| hylian | guesy, i really don't know what to tell you, any luck finding this in ubuntu softare center? i can walk you through removing the existence of it's installation, but all that will do is make apt think it was never installed, and you will never be able to remove it then, atleast not the right way. this process would allow you to install a 64 bit version then, a little messy. | 03:11 |

| hylian | guesy, ok, if you want i can help you to remove apt-'s knowledge of it's existence, but this is a two edged sword, you would be able to install the 64 bit module, but you would never be able to remove the current version properly through apt... this is a last resort. | 03:14 |

| hylian | guesy, ok now we have to delete it's file from /var/lib/dpkg/info. then we have to redo the update and then consider reinstalling it, perhaps we will have to have dpkg fix itself, one thing at a time | 03:21 |
| tbrew13 | edbian, you said you knew what was wrong last night | 03:21 |
| Griemak | s0|: looks great! can you try a reboot? (crosses fingers) | 03:22 |

| ecret | I am trying to install a new sql(5.5). I try to test run mysqld file, ./mysqld, yet I see "no such file or directory". I thik perhaps I have shared links or something but am stumped on this. If I cant run a file thats clearly in the folder I am in, how do I look for possibly shared links or some other fix? | 03:22 |
| shrimants | Hello, I want to install ubuntu but the only things I really need on it is a working x server with nvidia drivers. Technically I dont even need that, I just need synaptics package manager installed and a baseline linux system that I can build frmo the ground up. What do you suggest I do to get this? | 03:22 |
| hiexpo | edbian, you get in trouble for talking to me while i was gone > seen so/ scalded you or something > sorry i just tell it like it is | 03:22 |
| shrimants | man it would have been a good idea to hide join/part messages before coming in here | 03:23 |
| s0| | man Griemak, thanks! | 03:23 |
| s0| | that is a w00t, w00t. | 03:23 |
| Griemak | s0|: no prob: I think what happened was you didn't have the linux-headers: so the new Nouveau and Nvidia-current couldn't build kernel modules, resulting in NO gfx drivers :) | 03:24 |
| s0| | Griemak, should the dist-upgrade thing know to fix that ? | 03:24 |
| tbrew13 | hello edbian you here | 03:24 |
| guesy | hylian: are you sure /var/lib/dpkg is correct ? i cannot find dpkg in /var/lib | 03:24 |
| clu3 | Guys, i'm installing ubuntu. Should i just have one partition mounted to / ? should i have a swap area as well?what are your recommended paritions? | 03:24 |
| hylian | tbrew13, i hope you are having a better time of it today. | 03:24 |
| guesy | hylian: sry my mistake | 03:25 |
| Griemak | s0|: no idea :) It SHOULD. If things didn't break, where would the fun be? lol | 03:25 |
| s0| | Griemak, that gets one monitor working, I can probably stumble my way to getting the other one to work. | 03:25 |
| hylian | guesy, /var/lib/dpkg/info | 03:25 |
| tbrew13 | hylian, not really compiz still is acting funny wobbly windows works and i can maximize windows just can't move them | 03:25 |
| * hiexpo go back to backtrack > pentoo > and aircrack Where he is welcome and appreciated > for his hard work | 03:25 | |
| Firefishe | faryshta: Do you have anything besided xubuntu installed? | 03:25 |
| faryshta | Firefishe, skype. | 03:26 |
| s0| | Griemak, I didn't have to use lynx this time to manually download junk for nvidia's site this time, so things have improved since the last time I an upgrade broke a ubuntu / debian box of mine. | 03:26 |
| faryshta | Firefishe, audacity. | 03:26 |
| hylian | tbrew13, i officially hate compiz :) sorry man. I wish i knew more, but I am the guy that removes all pretty-ness from his desktop, not the oposite. | 03:26 |
| Firefishe | faryshta: I mean, so far as desktops are concerned, not individual applications. | 03:26 |
| faryshta | Firefishe, nop, just xubuntu. | 03:26 |
| s0| | too bad I cooked my other machine yesterday I would almost be ready to see if a newer verison of ubuntu could not kernel panic when booting on my dual socket board. | 03:26 |
| FrozenFire[alt3] | I'm planning on using Ubuntu Server to set up a wired->wired+wifi router for my home. I've read the wiki page on this matter, and I have experience setting this sort of thing up on other distributions, but I wanted to know if there's either a better distribution to use, or a set of packages that will simplify this configuration. | 03:27 |
| Firefishe | faryshta: okay, that helps me a bit. I'll get back to you in a few. | 03:27 |
| Griemak | s0|: I've had better luck since 10.04 as well with in-place upgrades | 03:27 |
| chelz | nessonic: almost there? | 03:27 |

| tbrew13 | hylain, where is edbian | 03:27 |
| crazifyngers | hey guys i'm having an issue with mdadm seeing my raid array after a reboot. anyone available to help out? | 03:27 |
| s0| | Holy diffrent desktop batman.... | 03:27 |
| hylian | s0|, if it kernel panics, that about 90% of the time hardware problems... :( | 03:27 |
| guesy | hylian: I deleted the agnclient files from /var/lib/dpkg/info | 03:27 |
| hiexpo | s0|, just install the nvidia repos | 03:27 |
| shrimants | which ubuntu cd do i need to download if i want to have nothing but a bash prompt in framebuffer installed? | 03:28 |
| shrimants | would that be the server install? | 03:28 |
| hylian | guesy, ok, now we should have made apt-get forget all about it. now you should be able to update, and try the 64 bit version, if it exists. | 03:28 |
| s0| | hylian, hardware problem back then was linux kernenl didn't support multiple pci domains so having multiple cards in box made it panic. | 03:28 |
| Captainkrtek | shrimants, you can just edit the desktop kernel to boot into a shell | 03:28 |
| s0| | which is why that box ran XP x64 and then vista for 4 years without and issue. | 03:29 |
| shrimants | Captainkrtek: how so? | 03:29 |
| Captainkrtek | shrimants, you can edit the kernel options in grub on bootup | 03:29 |
| shrimants | oh. no you dont get what im trying to do. i dont want all the useless crap ubuntu comes with | 03:29 |
| caligula_ | not bot | 03:29 |
| Captainkrtek | shrimants, then get server edition | 03:29 |
| caligula_ | not evil bot either | 03:30 |
| shrimants | gotcha, thanks. | 03:30 |
| Captainkrtek | shrimants, or netbook remix, and edit the bootup option | 03:30 |
| s0| | so umm 11.04 doesn't dectect my multi monotor setup that 10.04 and 10.10 did out of the box... wishing I hadn't hit that upgrade button now... alot. | 03:30 |
| shrimants | yeah i just didnt want it installed with anything other than linux-base | 03:30 |
| Captainkrtek | s0l need help? | 03:30 |
| shrimants | and apt stuff, obviously | 03:30 |
| Captainkrtek | shrimants, I would go netbook remix maybe | 03:30 |
| s0| | how hard is "roll back to 10.10" without losing data ? | 03:30 |
| Captainkrtek | s0l I can try to help you with your monitor | 03:31 |
| shrimants | but netbook remix will still install everything. i dont want any inkling of anything 'gnome' or 'unity' or any apps that are included by default | 03:31 |
| hylian | s0|, you cna do that? you can download ubuntu without all that jazz on the iso? where? | 03:31 |
| Captainkrtek | s0| I can try to help you with your monitor | 03:31 |
| xangua | s0|: make a backup, reinstall | 03:31 |
| shrimants | server is probably what im looking for i think | 03:31 |
| Captainkrtek | shrimants, yeah that'd work as well :-) | 03:31 |
| Captainkrtek | shrimants, let me know if you need any help! | 03:31 |
| ProjektGhost | Hello, I'm having some trouble with ALSA and getting it to work. Help, anyone, please? | 03:31 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| hylian | s0|, sorry, wrong person i sent it to :) | 03:31 |
| Captainkrtek | ProjektGhost, I can try to help | 03:31 |
| s0| | ugg, fried my other box yesterday this laptop I am working on doesn't have the drive space to back up a cool TB. so we are going to try to install the monitor I guess | 03:31 |
| s0| | had a bad week. | 03:31 |
| Captainkrtek | s0|, I can try to help you if you want :-) | 03:32 |
| s0| | Captinkrtek, lets do this. | 03:32 |
| ProjektGhost | Thank you - appreciated :) Alright, so I installed Ubuntu 11.04 from minimal CD and have installed ALSA, but no luck getting alsamixer to run. | 03:32 |
| Captainkrtek | s0|, do you want to PM me? | 03:32 |
| s0| | (and thanks everyone, just having a bad week) | 03:32 |
| s0| | CaptainKretek, lets keep it in the chan. | 03:32 |
| shrimants | Captainkrtek: cant i just do something like install the desktop system, and then run something like aptitude uninstall ubuntu-desktop | 03:32 |
| Captainkrtek | ProjektGhost, maybe try this update: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/273962 | 03:32 |
| Captainkrtek | shrimants, ehh maybe the ubuntu minimal install disk would be best | 03:33 |
| shrimants | Captainkrtek: im trying to get an archlinux-like system going, but archlinux itself is kind of broken at the moment | 03:33 |
| nessonic | cheiz: I was trying to fix grub 2 before a friend came to pick up the computer (he is not used to linux at all), but he came and picked it up already so I gave him the install disk just in case. Thank you for the help though, hopefully when I get it back I can fix it | 03:33 |
| === e is now known as Guest32833 | ||

| Captainkrtek | shrimants, I would do minimal install cd then edit the kernel | 03:33 |
| === w0w is now known as Lam2012 | ||
| shrimants | edit the kernel? | 03:33 |
| Captainkrtek | shrimants, via grub | 03:34 |
| hylian | guesy, any success? | 03:34 |
| crazifyngers | hey guys i'm having an issue with mdadm seeing my raid array after a reboot. anyone available to help out? | 03:34 |
| Captainkrtek | s0|, you still here? | 03:34 |
| s0| | Captainkrtek, yes | 03:35 |
| === vivek is now known as Guest18243 | ||
| Captainkrtek | s0|, let me know when you're ready | 03:35 |
| s0| | I am ready | 03:35 |
| Captainkrtek | s0|, have you tried checking for additional drivers? | 03:35 |
| guesy | hylian: I extracted the .deb file that I installed. It had a directory structure in it... i deleted all the files manually | 03:36 |
| guesy | hylian: do I have to run dpkg for it to re-index ? | 03:36 |
| shrimants | Captainkrtek: im not entirely sure what you mean by editing the kernel...the linux kernel? or do you mean just write the grub file to boot the right thing? editing the kernel does not mean to me what it means to you | 03:36 |
| s0| | yes, they using nvida-current (<Griemak> just fixed that since the upgrade wasn't smart enough to install kernel headers so my upgrade broke my GUI) | 03:36 |
| cordoval_ | anyone knows how to disable sleep key on natty ? | 03:36 |
| hylian | guesy, yeah, I am afraid that was the only way, we literally deleted the files that told apt how to uninstall it. | 03:36 |
| cordoval_ | my daughter always hit the sleep button and i can't get back to normal | 03:36 |
| s0| | nvida driver 270 | 03:36 |
| Captainkrtek | shrimants, on bootup you can edit your kernel by hitting 'e' over your installation then edit the kernel line to edit the bootup options | 03:37 |
| cordoval_ | there is no way I can reestablish the natty OS after my daughter hit the sleep key | 03:37 |
| hylian | guesy, no, suod apt-get update should do it, unless dpkg directly had a problem | 03:37 |
| cordoval_ | completly shuts down the machine | 03:37 |
| Captainkrtek | s0|, hold on | 03:37 |
| cordoval_ | i am sick almost of this thing, who in the world could have invented such a key | 03:37 |
| cordoval_ | rats! | 03:37 |
| s0| | Captainkrtek, I hit detect displays and it doesn't find the second one. | 03:37 |
| Captainkrtek | s0|, k | 03:37 |
| cordoval_ | sleep keys need to be carved each one of them and thrown into the sea | 03:38 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, lol | 03:38 |
| cordoval_ | how to disable it on natty? anyone? | 03:38 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, check power settings | 03:38 |
| Firefishe | faryshta: I'm still looking. Much of what I'm finding is a few years old. What have you found, incidentally? | 03:38 |
| shrimants | would it even be necessary to edit the kernel line? | 03:38 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, Power Management | 03:38 |
| cordoval_ | and the funny thing is that when I go to power settings there is only options for | 03:38 |
| guesy | hylian: it still says : dpkg: error processing /home/harsha/Desktop/test/agnclient_1.0~2.0.1.3003-1.1_amd64.deb (--install): agnclient: 1.0~2.0.1.3003-1.1 (Multi-Arch: no) is not co-installable with agnclient:i386 1.0~2.0.1.3003-4 (Multi-Arch: no) which is currently installed | 03:38 |
| hylian | cordoval_, you can turn off the sleep function in ubuntu, but I am afraid that is probably your only option. | 03:38 |
| cordoval_ | hybernate | suspend | 03:38 |
| cordoval_ | lol | 03:38 |
| cordoval_ | yes i want to do that | 03:38 |
| s0| | but it shows the second monitor in the freaking nvidia x server settings. | 03:39 |
| cordoval_ | tell me how | 03:39 |
| Auriga | cordoval_, You could look at the binding of the keys... | 03:39 |
| cordoval_ | how to turn off the sleep button, is all I got | 03:39 |
| cordoval_ | rats! no | 03:39 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, go to your session indicator > system settings > hardware > power management, general tab | 03:39 |
| shrimants | Captainkrtek: how do i set up wifi on a minimal installation cd? | 03:39 |
| Captainkrtek | shrimants, Im not sure :/ | 03:39 |
| tbrew13 | I am reinstalling 10.10 | 03:39 |
| hylian | guesy, wow, that used to work... i don't knwo how to proceed from here... | 03:39 |
| shrimants | screw it im just gonnd deal with arch i think | 03:39 |
| shrimants | thanks for your help anyways | 03:39 |
| Captainkrtek | shrimants, best of luck | 03:39 |
| s0| | <tbrew13> probably right behind you in about 30 mins if I can't get the 2nd display working. | 03:40 |
| shrimants | arch i salready running, i just didnt want to sit through its hassels. things like the xorg package group is broken right now | 03:40 |
| shrimants | its annoying but at least i know my way around | 03:40 |
| shrimants | anyways, thanks | 03:40 |
| hylian | i am stumped, can anyone help guesy, he/she has a installed deb file that absolutely refuses to uninstall... | 03:40 |
| cordoval_ | Rats! I am telling you in natty there is not such option for turning off sleep key | 03:40 |
| s0| | I think someone should chart the number 10.10 and 10.04 downloads from IPS that have recently downloaded 11.04. | 03:40 |
| cordoval_ | only choosing between hibernation and suspend | 03:40 |
| cordoval_ | that is killing feature! thank you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrr gahhhh! | 03:41 |
| cordoval_ | there is NOT SUCH FEATURE | 03:41 |
| cordoval_ | rats and CATS! | 03:41 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, calm down | 03:41 |
| hylian | cordoval_, let me taka a quick look... | 03:41 |
| tbrew13 | s0|, i am going to try to install gnome 3 it will break unity just for testing | 03:41 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, I'll help you | 03:41 |
| redinthehead | So no window will open in gnome. it just says starting "so and so" and the window dissapears in the taskbar | 03:42 |
| caligula_ | hehehehe | 03:42 |
| cordoval_ | ok i am breathing ... not blue, not blue... I can do it ... you can help me... | 03:42 |
| caligula_ | cordoval_ use a screw to remove the bad key | 03:42 |
| redinthehead | anyone have a little time | 03:42 |
| zeracca | s0| - have you tried choosin Ubuntu Classic in the login menu? i dont know if that changes anything, but its more 10.10 style in natty, thats all i know | 03:42 |
| caligula_ | cordoval_ I did it w/ my <caps locks> | 03:43 |
| cordoval_ | give me some sharp pen.... hmm I thought it was here ! | 03:43 |
| cordoval_ | which caps locks? | 03:43 |
| s0| | tbrew13, I am going to leave my laptop (my only working computer ATM) on 9.04 for a while .... going to probably have to roll the somewhat working desktop back to 10.something this 11.04 is not leaving me with a warm fuzzy feeling. looks wrong, doesn't like my 2nd display and that is a show stopper for me. | 03:43 |
| cordoval_ | rats! | 03:43 |
| caligula_ | hoorayyyyyy | 03:43 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, ill find a better method | 03:43 |
| westxx | for ubuntu 11.04 can I change it to the bottom instead of left hand corner? | 03:43 |
| westxx | launcher I mean | 03:43 |
| hylian | cordoval_, check this out, using the gconf editor, this will solve your problem, but not in unity, only in gnome 2. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=637127 | 03:44 |
| cordoval_ | hurry my daughter may come by | 03:44 |
| cordoval_ | I am IN UNITY | 03:44 |
| cntrational | can someone give me a readable guide to making an xorg.conf? | 03:44 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, found it | 03:44 |
| Griemak | s0|: a quick search appears to show that a setting in Compiz-Settings manager will enable multiple monitor support. To get it: sudo apt-get install ccsm | 03:44 |
| s0| | should have just left it at 10 when 10.04 and 10.10 "worked" with both my displays out of the gate. (vmware server broke but what else is new) but nooo I had to just hit the upgrade button. like a crack head I do stupid things. | 03:44 |
| Captainkrtek | hold on though | 03:44 |
| westxx | can I change the launcher to the bottom instead left hand side for 11.04 | 03:44 |
| Joeyr | I have 10.10 on an external hd that I used with my desktop. When I plug in my external on my laptop, there is no gui. Suggestions? | 03:44 |

| cordoval_ | i am scared to type | 03:45 |
| redinthehead | i can't open any window i am running 11.04 in classic mode any ideas? | 03:45 |
| s0| | there is no ccsm package | 03:45 |
| faryshta | Firefishe, all I have found is about changing alsa settings. | 03:45 |
| Firefishe | faryshta: k | 03:45 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, okay do the following , hit ALT+F2 , then type gksu gconf-editor and hit enter | 03:45 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, let me know wonce you've done that | 03:46 |
| Firefishe | faryshta: I'm still researching that model. | 03:46 |

| jimrew | hi | 03:48 |
| Hilikus | is alsa capable of mixing different signals or for that i need a sound service? | 03:48 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, then type 'nothing' | 03:48 |
| jimrew | hi | 03:48 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, do the same for hibernate | 03:48 |
| jimrew | hi | 03:48 |
| Firefishe | faryshta: Well, that's another issue. If the hardare in the laptop isn't being discovered, then you will probably need some type of module compiled for it. Either that, or the sound settings need a little tweaking in the form of an entry in alsa-conf. | 03:48 |
| caligula_ | jimrew lol | 03:48 |
| cordoval_ | it is now all on nothing | 03:49 |

| zeracca | s0| did you try logging into ubuntu with the ubuntu classic setting? if that changes anything... | 03:50 |
| s0| | the monitor pref. thing won't see the second the one like it used to in 10.10 , the nvida x server setting does but unless someone knows how to make the monitor pref thing see the 2nd display I might be hosted. | 03:50 |
| cordoval_ | sure of what exactly | 03:50 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, that those are the right settings | 03:50 |
| s0| | zeracca: where again is that option to change ? | 03:50 |
| s0| | found it | 03:50 |
| Captainkrtek | cordoval_, okay we are good :) just exit it now | 03:50 |
| cordoval_ | should I test? | 03:51 |
| zeracca | s0| when you log into ubuntu, you click on your username and then in the bottom of the screen you can choose what session to use | 03:51 |

| Captainkrtek | redinthehead, I can try | 03:52 |
| s0| | so before I go and try and reinstall 10, is there anything else I should try to get the 2nd display working again...? | 03:53 |
| Firefishe | faryshta: Okay, I will get back to you within the next day or so. Sorry I couldn't find any quick-fix. | 03:53 |
| qin | LAcan: Have you managed to connect manually (with wpa_suplicant) to your network? | 03:53 |
| redinthehead | thanks, Captainkrt | 03:53 |
| zeracca | s0| you say that the nvidia x server settings sees the 2nd monitor? did you try the save to configuration option? .. if it does something wrong, you can reinstall 10.10 as you want to | 03:53 |
| LAcan | qin ya.. i have two wireless NICs, I want NM to manage one and not the other... | 03:53 |
| caligula_ | bye | 03:54 |
| s0| | the nvidia x server setting window thing from system settings lists both my displays, the monitor pref system setting thinks I have 1 and only one display. hitting detect displays doesn't do jack. | 03:54 |
| Guest718 | i just upgraded my nvidia drivers or something on my macbook air and now my display stopped working. xorg logs are saying no screen is present | 03:54 |
| zeracca | s0| in the nvidia settings try to save to x configuration file and reboot | 03:55 |
| === Guest718 is now known as Luke | ||
| s0| | the nvidia x server display setting thing also knows that my monitors are of type 2005fpw but the monitor pref config window is as clueless as I am on how to fix it. | 03:55 |
| Joeyr | How come 10.10 on an external hd won't work on a laptop if you installed it using a desktop? | 03:55 |
| redinthehead | so basically I made a small change to the startup script to add x11vnc to startup everytime i would start the computer, but now i cant even seem to open the "About Ubuntu" window. | 03:56 |
| atomhunter | Hey, is there an ubuntu chat channel? | 03:56 |
| redinthehead | this is it | 03:56 |
| atomhunter | ah ok... i was thinking there might be one not so support oriented | 03:56 |
| s0| | <zeracca> : rebooting now. | 03:56 |
| redinthehead | atomhunter, that, i dont know | 03:56 |
| redinthehead | sorry | 03:56 |
| zeracca | s0| cool | 03:56 |

| spankbot | anyone work with TinyOS? | 03:58 |
| zeracca | s0| hmm did you check if the screen is in xorg.conf ? | 03:58 |
| === Wolf is now known as Guest92498 | ||
| cordoval_ | you knew it | 03:58 |
| Griemak | s0|: open up Compiz Settings Manager and see if "clone" is checked | 03:58 |
| cordoval_ | and blew it | 03:58 |
| === mk is now known as Guest25749 | ||
| Gastonardo | hola? | 03:58 |
| s0| | <Griemak>, you mean "clone output"? | 03:59 |
| Griemak | s0|: yep, just a test to see if the second monitor can get anything through Unity 3D | 03:59 |
| s0| | negative. | 04:00 |
| s0| | not checked won't check | 04:00 |
| shani313 | I have downloaded Ubuntu 11.04 in my Windows 7 based computer. Now Tell me how to make my USB as a bootable CD. Because I want to install Ubuntu alongside. | 04:00 |
| zeracca | s0| - try taking a look in xorg.conf if the monitor is listed there | 04:00 |
| MaxDamage | Hey guys. I have Ubuntu 9 on a VPS, when I did apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade it finished in 5 minutes. Is it really that fast or did I screw something up? | 04:01 |

| k_sze | I need help shutting down my Xubuntu machine blind-folded (the monitor is dead) | 04:05 |
| Guest25749 | does anyone have a WD my book world? I'm having trouble copying files to it. | 04:05 |
| Joeyr | atomhunter: if you put it on another computer do you need to download additional drivers? I'm not getting a gui | 04:05 |
| atomhunter | eh... WD drives... | 04:05 |
| k_sze | What key combo can I use to shutdown my Xubuntu machine blind-folded? | 04:05 |
| atomhunter | Joeyr: what are you doing? | 04:06 |
| atomhunter | Joeyr: as in how | 04:06 |
| atomhunter | booting from ex? | 04:06 |
| s0| | so do I not hit quit ? | 04:06 |
| trism | !reisub | k_sze | 04:06 |
| ubottu | k_sze: 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 | 04:06 |
| atomhunter | s0l: ? | 04:06 |
| Joeyr | atomhunter: trying to get my wd drive to boot on my laptop, but I don't get a gui | 04:06 |
| atomhunter | do you get cmdline? | 04:06 |
| s0| | it tells me I need to reboot, but then there is no "apply and reboot button" just a quit button and when I reboot it's just disabled again. | 04:06 |
| atomhunter | s0l: what version? | 04:07 |
| s0| | atomhunter, what version or what | 04:07 |
| atomhunter | ubuntu | 04:07 |
| atomhunter | nvidiea | 04:07 |
| s0| | 11.0broken | 04:07 |
| atomhunter | are you using xserver from nvidea? | 04:07 |
| zeracca | s0| using gksudo makes you run the nvidia-settings as root | 04:07 |
| Joeyr | atomhunter: it asks for my username and password, but it just either gets a blank screen, or just a bunch of stuff and then a command line | 04:07 |
| s0| | zeracca, thanks Griemak got that for me. | 04:08 |
| s0| | doesn't seem to fix my issue. | 04:08 |
| zeracca | s0| alright | 04:08 |
| s0| | still comes up disabled. | 04:08 |
| Joeyr | atomhunter: right now I'm on a live cd, just trying to get help with this | 04:08 |
| atomhunter | hmm... | 04:08 |
| atomhunter | how is your cmdline foo? | 04:08 |
| Griemak | s0|: do you have two monitors listed on the output if you run 'xrandr' from a terminal? | 04:08 |
| rumpe1 | Joeyr, maybe try with noacpi kernel parameter | 04:08 |
| atomhunter | Joeyr: is it gnome/kde/etc.? | 04:09 |
| Joeyr | atomhunter: I'm somewhat new to terminal. I've tried startx and that doesn't work at the beginning | 04:09 |
| Joeyr | atomhunter:10.10 ubuntu | 04:10 |
| s0| | Griemak, now and stuff is telling me it's dying. | 04:10 |
| afman | Hello is anyone here? | 04:10 |
| atomhunter | and its confirmed working on another machine? Joeyr? | 04:10 |
| s0| | should I force relaod "notification Area" ? | 04:10 |
| Joeyr | atomhunter:yes | 04:10 |
| s0| | and about 10,000 other things that are stacked below it ? | 04:10 |
| atomhunter | joeyr: how did you install it? | 04:10 |
| LAcan | Yo does anyone know how/if I can install libnl2 on Ubunto 10.04? | 04:11 |
| Griemak | s0|: ugh, really? xrandr is just an output, not a command... | 04:11 |
| s0| | well it made stuff blow up. and onyl lists one screen. | 04:11 |
| rumpe1 | Griemak, no, it's both | 04:11 |
| Griemak | rumpe1: with no options passed? | 04:12 |
| atomhunter | Joeyr: installed it via normal install or as a live disk on the hdd? | 04:12 |
| Joeyr | atomhunter: I had it installed on a dell desktop with xp service pack 2 using a live cd to download onto the hard drive, and when I try to boot it from my laptop, I get the grub menu, and I've tried editing some stuff in there but it doesn't work | 04:12 |
| Guest25749 | If you have a dealt issues mounting / permissions on WD My Book World any help would be appreciated | 04:12 |
| Joeyr | atomhunter: something about turning "splash" into "nomodset" didn't work | 04:12 |
| s0| | xrandr failed to get siaze of gamma, for output default and then about all my "areas" died and things started poping up in pretty windows if I wanted to reload them. | 04:12 |
| atomhunter | but you get a cmdline on boot? | 04:13 |
| atomhunter | *joeyr | 04:13 |
| Joeyr | atomhunter: yes. I can also log in, but then I get no gui | 04:13 |
| s0| | I apprechate everon'es help. I am about ready to lose it over this and don't want to vent on everyone here who has been most helpful. going to call it a night just morn the 3 computes I have dmanaged broken, or slightly messed up in the past 24 hours. | 04:13 |
| rumpe1 | Joeyr, try noapic noacpi as boot-parameters ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions ) | 04:14 |
| atomhunter | ^ try that | 04:14 |
| Griemak | s0|: I am sorry I couldn't get it completely resolved for you :( | 04:14 |
| atomhunter | sorry So1 | 04:14 |
| s0| | Griemak, if you were near me I would buy you whatever it is that you drink. you got me a gui back so that was big help. | 04:14 |
| Joeyr | atomhunter: Thanks, I'll do that. but sadly I don't know if I'll be on long enough to let you know if it works. | 04:15 |
| atomhunter | Just try it :D | 04:16 |
| thegoodcushion | Is there some software for Ubuntu that I can use to turn a photo and a .wav file into a video for uploading to YouTube? | 04:16 |
| Griemak | s0|: water :) I've been sober for over 3,500 days and counting | 04:16 |
| k_sze | trism: it rebooted the machine instead of shutting down. I should use REISUO instead of REISUB, right? | 04:16 |
| LAcan | Yo does anyone know how/if I can install libnl2 on Ubunto 10.04? | 04:17 |
| zeracca | thegoodcushion, you can try kdenlive, it installs on ubuntu as well | 04:17 |
| s0| | Griemak, no worries, I just wanted to convey that I am very grateful for your help. | 04:19 |
| trism | k_sze: yes, that should work | 04:19 |

| foreverwondering | Decker, why pay for SSD then? | 04:34 |
| Decker87 | because it's fast as shit and has tons of storage | 04:34 |
| pabstsmear | yeah, I had it working for a while and just today it stopped. | 04:34 |
| foreverwondering | the limit on your drive speed is the USB connection | 04:35 |

| Firefishe | I've got a vexxing volume-balance issue that I have not been able to resolve thus far. Each time I log in, my balance control is almost to the extreme left--though not all the way. The only way to correct this is to use the gnome-volume-manager applet to move the balance back to the right, under the Output tab. My wife also uses the machine, and her user isn't affected, only mine. | 04:36 |

| Pr0zac | hi, i have a problem with a triple monitor config, and xinerama, the screens goes black, i can move the mouse pointer, but doen't click or do anything | 04:45 |
| LAcan | sagaci, do you think i should unistall libnl1 first? | 04:46 |
| shingen | yeah, I'm having a hard time finding love for the narwhal... just look at how much is out there for 9.10 vs 11.04 | 04:46 |
| Pr0zac | i'm using the official nvidia drivers | 04:46 |
| sagaci | LAcan, may as well | 04:47 |
| izinucs | Pr0zac: you using xinerama because twinview doesn't work with 3 monitors? | 04:47 |
| Pr0zac | yeap | 04:47 |
| Pr0zac | because i use 2 nvidia cards :( | 04:48 |
| dojohnso | hey all, hoping you can help. what's the best way to set up a domain to point to a certain directory on my local, like "local.domain.com" and point it to /var/www/domain | 04:48 |
| Pr0zac | i have to buy a ati one :( | 04:48 |
| Pr0zac | to use on twinview | 04:48 |
| dojohnso | i'm guessing hosts file and httpd.conf, but i can't find good directions | 04:48 |
| brannig | If I recall in apache you cant declare a vhost, or somesuch, to point to a location of a domain | 04:49 |
| izinucs | Pr0zac: you have to hand config the xorg.conf .. not sure if it works the same as twinview but you have a virtual desktop size which is the highth of the largest monitor by the width of all the resolutions added together.. then individual native monitor resolutions within that. | 04:49 |
| brannig | I'll double check my config dojohnso when my VPS reboots. I think I am, or was, doing something similar | 04:49 |
| dojohnso | awesome thanks brannig | 04:50 |
| Pr0zac | im going to try it | 04:50 |
| brannig | dojohnso, does http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/name-based.html help? | 04:51 |
| gnewb | brannig: Is that the BIND package you are using? | 04:51 |
| dojohnso | i think it's a good start, thanks brannig. i'll try it out | 04:52 |
| gnewb | dojohnso: You may aslo want to look at BIND, what brannig pointed out is a very good resource. | 04:53 |

| shingen | luckily they're both VMs, so if it truly does suck to high hell, I can kill the narwhal and embrace my meercat | 04:56 |
| brannig | just checked, my VPS isn't doing hosting 2 domains anymore. So I can't double check, but apache definitely supports that via (if I recall) vhosts | 04:56 |
| gnewb | dojohnson: That is one, I prefer the Debian package source, http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=bind | 04:57 |
| trism | Hammerjak: you can drag it back from /usr/share/applications, but I suppose it depends on if you edited that one or made a copy somewhere | 04:57 |

| Captainkrtek | Andy_C, Im up for the challenge | 05:04 |

| shingen | meh, server on 11.04 seems fine | 05:08 |
| hanasaki | is there a way to do login with oauth instead of /etc/passwd or ldap? | 05:08 |
| Captainkrtek | Andy_C, try sudo modprobe -r b43 | 05:08 |
| Flynn | OK so, how how can I make my 2D 2 image stupid simple animation my wallpaper in Kubuntu? | 05:08 |
| Nisstyre | hanasaki: why the hell would you want to use oauth? | 05:09 |
| hanasaki | why not? | 05:09 |
| hanasaki | to use the same auth on everything | 05:09 |
| Nisstyre | because it's meant for APIs? | 05:09 |
| pjman | Hi - I just received my new laptop which I purchased specifically for editing HD video. CPU is i7-2720QM (quad core). Totem wont play 1080i AVCHD video and OpenShot stutters when trying to scrub the video. Any suggestions? | 05:09 |
| hanasaki | ? | 05:09 |
| Nisstyre | it's meant for APIs for websites like twitter and facebook | 05:09 |
| torchie | is there a way to choose which folder twonkyserver shares | 05:10 |
| torchie | kind of out there | 05:10 |
| ActionParsnip | pjman: we need the video chip, the cpu isn't very interesting to the situation | 05:10 |
| torchie | or a way to see all the format information of a video file | 05:10 |
| torchie | like I know something's an avi but i don't know what the avi contains | 05:10 |
| Nisstyre | hanasaki: I guess you could hack together something, but I don't see why. | 05:10 |
| ActionParsnip | torchie: mencoder or mplayer can show it | 05:10 |
| ohsix | o helo | 05:11 |
| Andy_C | Captainkrtek: tried that. I should have also mentioned that my blacklist.conf file incudes: blacklist bcm43xx, blacklist b43, blacklist b43legacy, blacklist ssb | 05:11 |
| ohsix | pjman: nvidia card? | 05:11 |
| hanasaki | Nisstyre: you want your users to do password resets and admin on ldap and an oauth server if they have webapps and a shell login? | 05:11 |
| Captainkrtek | Andre_Gondim, remove bcm43xx | 05:12 |
| Captainkrtek | and b43 | 05:12 |

| ActionParsnip | torchie: or for quick and dirty: mencoder -identify file | 05:13 |
| iszak | Is there anyway to stop right click up triggering the click event in the context menu. | 05:13 |
| === stevejobs is now known as Guest34501 | ||
| ActionParsnip | pjman: ok much better, did you install the proprietary nvidia driver? | 05:13 |
| === Guest34501 is now known as unforgiven512 | ||
| iszak | e.g. I right click down -> context menu comes up -> I move my mouse (whilst holding the button) to a menu item and release - it triggers the menu item | 05:13 |
| ohsix | Andy_C: look in dmesg and see if b43 is complaining about not being able to find it's firmware | 05:13 |
| ohsix | Andy_C: and before resorting to ndiswrapper you could try bcmwl-kernel-source | 05:14 |

| celthunder | Flynn: depends what it's for and what you're starting with | 05:16 |
| ActionParsnip | pjman: ok can you give the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep nvidia use a pastebin to hold the output of the command. Thanks | 05:16 |
| edwardthefma | i need help running a program | 05:16 |
| ohsix | Andy_C: oic, open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) or with the unity search, type dmesg in there, pretty self explainitory, if you feel the need, paste to paste.ubuntu.com | 05:16 |
| celthunder | edwardthefma: what program | 05:16 |
| edwardthefma | tesseract | 05:16 |
| edwardthefma | OCR | 05:17 |
| edwardthefma | i installed it | 05:17 |
| Flynn | cellthunder start from scratch and make it perform aaverage everyday tasks perfectly. | 05:17 |
| edwardthefma | but it didint make a shorcut in my start bar | 05:17 |

| MagePsycho | actually i am a PHP/Mysql developer | 05:19 |
| ssfdre38 | how do you set a custom background on grub? | 05:19 |
| edwardthefma | <ohsix> you know what i need to do to make it run | 05:19 |
| MagePsycho | i would like to know which lamp package should i use | 05:19 |
| pjman | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/603977/ | 05:19 |
| MagePsycho | which mysql gui? | 05:19 |
| Neocrypter | Hey gang i just did an install of 11.04 when i go to boot into it after the grub selection screen it says "Error unable to read file. Press any key to continue" when i do i get the infamous blinking currsor any idea? X86_64 architecture Windows boots fine from it though | 05:19 |
| celthunder | MagePsycho: apache2 php5 php5-mysql mysql-server mysql-client | 05:20 |
| Flynn | celthunder: Yeah, with Ubuntu network 10.10 I couldn't even share files! | 05:20 |
| getUgly | neo: are you dualbooting through grub? | 05:20 |
| Neocrypter | yes | 05:20 |
| getUgly | which partition did you install grub on? | 05:21 |
| celthunder | MagePsycho: i'dstart with those and add other stuff as needed (mostly the rest should be libraries | 05:21 |
| MagePsycho | i mean is there is no software package like WAMP | 05:21 |
| === tomer is now known as Guest3821 | ||
| celthunder | MagePsycho: i'm sure there is...someone probqbly bunled it all neat but it's like 5 packages anyway | 05:21 |
| Neocrypter | tbh where ever 11.04 put it i didnt do a custom scheme just let it resize my ntfs and have its way with the box so probally sda2 | 05:21 |
| ohsix | edwardthefma: it accepts ppm and some other image files and outputs text; you probably want another program that uses tesseract from the sounds of it | 05:21 |
| MagePsycho | OK... | 05:21 |
| Flynn | People want thier computer to do basic things correctly right of the bat. And look nice while doing it. | 05:22 |
| edwardthefma | ok | 05:22 |
| MagePsycho | and what about mysql GUI? | 05:22 |
| celthunder | Flynn: when i did my linux from scratch system i took out a ton of stuff from the kernel at one point all that worked was the network nd the hard drive and i got the rest working from there | 05:22 |
| celthunder | Flynn: so i consider those 2 basically what NEEDS to be there... | 05:22 |
| celthunder | MagePsycho: phpmyadmin | 05:22 |
| MagePsycho | yes thats the option but i don't like it.. in windows i used to use sqlyog | 05:23 |
| ActionParsnip | pjman: you have the recommended driver from nvidia.com. All I can suggest is you run: sudo nvidia-xconfig and restart x (or the system), may help | 05:23 |
| Flynn | celthunder: seems reasonable. I just want mine to look the way I want right now. | 05:23 |
| celthunder | Flynn: sounds like the best place to start then is with what you have :) | 05:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !find mysql-workbench | 05:25 |
| ubottu | Package/file mysql-workbench does not exist in natty | 05:25 |
| pjman | ActionParsnip: Thanks - I've tried that. I do appreciate you looking into it though :-) I just thought thought with this quad core machine I wouldn't have any trouble editing (much less playing) 1080i AVCHD video. Oh well. | 05:25 |
| celthunder | MagePsycho: then use sqlyog never heard of it but if it doesn't suck completely (adnd the fact that you want to keep using it suggests as much) then it'll let you pick the sql server you're managing with it | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | pjman: should be fine, the video chip may need some love or extra options in xorg.conf to get nice | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | MagePsycho: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MySqlWorkBench | 05:26 |
| Neocrypter | getUgly : Ive done this before with like 10.XX a long time ago and it worked fine, is grub 2 ( which i assume i 11.04 is running ) picky about where it is at? | 05:26 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | Is this a known papercut for Ubuntu Server 11.04?: When selecting server packages to install (OpenSSH server, DNS server, etc), there is no confirmation of the packages you wish to install, so if you accidentally hit Enter, thinking that's the way to select a package, you do not have the opportunity to revise your selections. | 05:26 |
| Flynn | celthunder: well, Ok I got a gif animation and a background that's static. How do I fix that? | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | MagePsycho: http://mahmudahsan.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/wb_diagam_zoomed_out_small1.png looks pretty graphical to me | 05:26 |
| MagePsycho | thanks for the link | 05:27 |
| getUgly | I haven't done a dual boot with 11.04 yet but i'd assume the process is the same. Default grub location should work with no issue. You may want to try running the installer again and just have it rewrite the linux partition | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | MagePsycho: all I did was websearch... | 05:27 |
| celthunder | Flynn: dunno my background is black screen...i don't spend time staringat it:) | 05:27 |
| Neocrypter | getUgly : allready tired that before comming here | 05:27 |
| Neocrypter | tried googleing it but found everything but what was going on with my box too | 05:28 |
| bisby | its been a while since i checked, but last i heard you cant have unity and gnome 3 installed side by side, is that true? | 05:28 |
| cld_ | How would I go about fixing a problem when I was trying to add the Desktop Cube, and then now I got windows that won't move when I try to drag it? | 05:28 |
| bisby | is that true still* | 05:28 |
| Flynn | celthunder: Thanx anyway. Part of the draw to Linux was supposed to be ease of customization. | 05:29 |
| MagePsycho | which download manager works best for ubuntu? | 05:29 |
| Soupermanito | dta | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | MagePsycho: they all work equally best | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | MagePsycho: there is no best | 05:29 |
| tensorpudding | bisby: it's probably still true | 05:29 |
| celthunder | MagePsycho: depends | 05:29 |
| tensorpudding | bisby: until unity gets migrated to using gnome 3 libraries, they probably can't coexist | 05:30 |
| MagePsycho | yes which is better :) | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | MagePsycho: none, there is no better as tat implies a best | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | *that | 05:30 |
| MagePsycho | comparatively good | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | MagePsycho: I've heard people use jdownloader (needs java), there is also uget and fatrat (I use fatrat on my server). Try a few and see which you prefer | 05:31 |
| celthunder | Flynn: customization is easy....perfecting anything exactly as you desire it is hard | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | MagePsycho: it's as intelligent as asking "What is the best colour?" | 05:31 |
| MagePsycho | well that depends on the taste of user | 05:32 |
| Flynn | Anyone here have an animated wallpaper? How'd you do it? | 05:32 |
| celthunder | flyi'd try xsetroot | 05:32 |
| MagePsycho | like beauty .. which lies in the eye of beholder ;) | 05:32 |
| bisby | if unity and gnome3 cant coexist, A) which one is "better" and B) what would be some pros/cons of switching. Im curious yet I dont want to screw up unity if gnome3 isnt worth it | 05:32 |
| celthunder | Flynn: did you try xsetroot on it | 05:32 |
| ohsix | Flynn: if you get whatever is drawing on your root window to get out of the way (nautilus or whatever) then you can have anything that can target an XID to render to it | 05:32 |
| ohsix | Flynn: like mplayer -loop, or the xscreensaver hacks :] | 05:32 |
| ohsix | Flynn: but unfortunately it's one or the other usually | 05:33 |

| Neocrypter | hopefully that will work I tried googleing my specific problem but im turning up with zilch | 05:38 |
| celthunder | cld_: use compiz? | 05:38 |
| ActionParsnip | cld_: can you expand on 'messing up windows' | 05:38 |
| cld_ | I did | 05:38 |
| ohsix | Flynn: you can freely draw on it; but it's usually occluded by something like nautilus | 05:39 |
| jiltdil | ActionParsnip:thanks | 05:39 |
| celthunder | ohsix: ? really? nothings drawing on mine ever | 05:39 |
| cld_ | ActionParsnip: When I activate the Desktop Cube, the windows loses the titlebar | 05:39 |
| celthunder | ohsix: actually that sounds just plain stupid for nautilus to do | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | cld_: I'd ask in #compiz too, do you use an nvidia gpu? | 05:40 |
| jiltdil | ActionParsnip:also when i used desktop cube the windows loose the title bar same problem? | 05:40 |

| jiltdil | ActionParsnip:yes | 05:42 |
| ohsix | celthunder: well i hope you understand that that's a special case, and people typically have something that owns the root window, if you have menu's on root something is there; it doesn't have to be drawing things though | 05:42 |

| beinghuman | okay so eth0 isn't showing up since 11.04 upgrade | 05:44 |

| DrManhattan | I installed it on my secondary drive and after the install, my mobo wouldn't recognize my drive anymore | 05:58 |
| amand | when I browse to the cups page, I see it there, and the mac sees it as a cups printer. are you sure? I don't even have samba installed on my ubuntu box. | 05:58 |
| DrManhattan | it completely froze up on the ubuntu drive | 05:58 |
| axisys | ActionParsnip: amand | 05:58 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: yeah those directions don't work in natty :-) | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: they do here, strange | 05:58 |
| DrManhattan | so I popped the drive into another box, and it worked fine, and put another drive into the main box and IT worked fine | 05:58 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: What do you mean the motherboard doesn't recognize the drive? Can you explain in more detail what happens when you boot the system and log in to Ubuntu / Windows? | 05:58 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: i want a2d, it says to go to a menu that doesn't exist. | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: is the drive seen in bios? | 05:58 |
| axisys | ActionParsnip: it works perfect for new account | 05:59 |
| DrManhattan | edbian, it wont get as far as booting with the drive connected and ubuntu installed | 05:59 |
| amand | @vanmik the easiest way I suggest is to install VirtualBox on the mac, to boot ununtu live cd and follow the docs on creating the bootable usb. | 05:59 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: Does it post in bios? | 05:59 |
| DrManhattan | ActionParsnip, the system cannot get past the drive detection | 05:59 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: oh sorry, crossed wires | 05:59 |
| DrManhattan | edbian, no, it isnt able to post with ubuntu installed on that drive | 05:59 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: reset the bios to default settings | 05:59 |
| DrManhattan | edbian, no need | 05:59 |
| ActionParsnip | axisys: ok then we know its the settings, not the software itself | 06:00 |
| DrManhattan | I put the drive into another box as a single drive and it worked ok | 06:00 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: If the bios cannot post the hdd it has nothing to do with the OS. It has to do with the settings in the bios | 06:00 |
| Cjohnston_ | genewitch I am connected to the network on my phone, but the laptop won't connect. Password is correct, so I was wondering if there is somewhere to see what it is erroring on | 06:00 |

| DrManhattan | edbian, this drive has no problems with any other os, including earlier versions of ubuntu | 06:01 |
| vanmik | amand: anyway, thanks ) | 06:01 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: Really. It must be getting past the bios and getting stuck in grub. Can you press shift during boot and get grub to show up? | 06:01 |
| DrManhattan | this only happens when ubuntu 11.04 is installed to it | 06:01 |
| DrManhattan | edbian, it is NOT getting past the bios - there's something wacky happening to the drive | 06:01 |
| genewitch | edbian: i can confirm what DrManhattan is saying about ubuntu drives not posting but working fine on hard reset in windows. | 06:01 |
| genewitch | edbian: seriously. it's why i can't run ubuntu on my pc | 06:01 |
| axisys | ActionParsnip: so is there a clean up script that I can run from one of the virtul terminals? | 06:01 |
| DrManhattan | I am using intel ich10r and the drive is an original raptor 150gb | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | axisys: hmmm, not sure. You could remove (or better still, move to a subfolder) the first accounts gnome config folders, you should get vanilla settings then | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | axisys: maybe others can advise but you have significantly reduced possible causes of issue :) | 06:02 |
| amand | @vanmik There are very few how to's on the web that explain the long form method, but it's complicated. essentially, the USB mush be formatted FAT and must be less than 800MB to boot correctly. The mac doesn't want to create the filesystem correctly, so you need extra software. this is just easier to use the VM. | 06:03 |
| DrManhattan | it's the only time I've ever had an issue with the drive, and the only thing different about it was ubuntu 11.04 64 bit on it | 06:03 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: genewitch Maybe there is some bug I am not aware of. Honestly though I have no idea. | 06:03 |
| axisys | ActionParsnip: which folder is that? .gnome, .gnome2 or .gnome_private ? | 06:03 |
| DrManhattan | I don't know WHAT is being done upon install to that drive, but my bios doesn't like it one bit | 06:03 |
| axisys | isn;t there a gnome cleanup script or something? | 06:03 |
| genewitch | DrManhattan: I KNOW, RIGGHT | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | axisys: I'd say .gconf .gconfd and .gnome2 | 06:04 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: very strange | 06:04 |
| DrManhattan | genewitch, I appreciate the confirmation there. I was completely befuddled | 06:04 |
| genewitch | DrManhattan: i ahve 2tb drive, 1tb ntfs and 1tb ubuntu, if i boot into ubuntu, grub fails, and if i hit reset or control-alt-delete it won't post, but if i hard reset, it'll post and boot into windows just fine | 06:04 |
| mentoc | I have everything mounted on one hard drive (mounted as /) is it possible to change a directory to mount on my unused SSD drive? | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | axisys: not aware of any cleanup script, you could try: gconftool --recursive-unset / | 06:04 |
| amand | My Ubuntu install would not boot form my primary drive. I finally learned that the 1st and 2nd SATA drives are mislabelled on the Mother Board (HP Desktop), and by swapping the two, my HD started booting just fine. | 06:04 |
| DrManhattan | yeah it's very confusing, I was quite disappointed. I had a TERRIBLE time with skype for linux in fedora | 06:05 |
| Flynn | where's the text editor in kubuntu? | 06:05 |
| DrManhattan | everything else in fedora rocked | 06:05 |
| DrManhattan | but I was quite disappointed to find that skype doesn't like pulseaudio and there wasn't an alsa option for it | 06:05 |
| genewitch | mentoc: you'd have to rsync the directory onto the ssd in a mount point, unmount the ssd, delete the directory you want it to replace, then mkdir the name, and then mount /dev/(whatever ssd is) /(whatever folder you want) | 06:05 |
| Soupermanito | Flynn, kate | 06:05 |
| amand | @geneswitch swap the boot drive to another SATA port. if it's on SATA 0 move it to SATA 1. It may be mislabelled like mine was. | 06:05 |
| DrManhattan | I think I might have to go gentoo on this | 06:06 |
| genewitch | mentoc: then you have to edit /etc/fstab to reflect your changes so it keeps it on boot | 06:06 |

| genewitch | mentoc: look up how mount works, you might just be able to mount /dev/(ssd) /home | 06:08 |
| DrManhattan | edbian, the problem is that ubuntu wrote something to the hard drive that caused it not to identify properly with the motherboard. | 06:08 |
| genewitch | mentoc: maybe. don't quote me. | 06:08 |
| ActionParsnip | tx0105: run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf you will get write access | 06:08 |
| genewitch | mentoc: i know you can do that with portage temp dirs in gentoo | 06:09 |
| nitAI | hello, hope anybody can help. I run under ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS (lucid) with KDE but want to update to 11.04 (natty) with GNOME now... what's the best way to do this without deleting all my data.. is there any way to update by cd or apt?! - btw I use two different partitions for / and /home | 06:09 |
| DrManhattan | edbian, it is not all chipsets either, because the drive worked just fine as a single drive in another system | 06:09 |
| mentoc | genewitch: That seems like it would mount the contents of /dev/sd(x) onto /home instead of vice versa | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | nitAI: you will need to upgrade to Maverick first, then upgrade to Natty | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | nitAI | 06:09 |
| ubottu | nitAI: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 06:09 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: File a bug: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 06:09 |
| dibs | ubottu !fix_natty | 06:09 |
| genewitch | mentoc: yeah. i'd just move everything. the home stuff isn't system critical anyhow. | 06:10 |
| nitAI | ActionParsnip: thx ... and ubottu: thx 2 | 06:10 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: I don't think anybody on here is going to know the problem you're talking about much less how to fix it. | 06:10 |
| Delahunt | ok fwiw since no one could help this dude, i figured i'd come on here and explain some stuff | 06:10 |
| mentoc | genewitch: It seems /usr/ would be a fine move since most binaries are there including libraries | 06:10 |
| DrManhattan | edbian, yeah, im not really up to the whole filing bug process, it's a bit too picky and time consuming for me | 06:10 |
| DrManhattan | but i do appreciate the input. | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | nitAI: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core then run: gksudo gedit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades change: Prompt=lts to: Prompt=normal save the new file, close gedit, then run: sudo do-release-upgrade | 06:11 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: Just realized that link I gave it about submitting a bug in Ubuntu. Here is the site to do it with any OS: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu | 06:11 |
| genewitch | mentoc: in all honesty, if it were me i'd do a reinstall and set up the partitioning at the beginning | 06:11 |
| LAcan | how can I get network manager to stop configuring one interface? | 06:11 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: Well if you don't file a bug your problem is probably never going to be resolved by you or anybody. | 06:11 |
| Delahunt | with the ubuntu 10.04 live usb stick you get two files: casper/squashfs which is the read-only common ubuntu stuff, and the casper-rw file which is a read-write filesystem (ext4 iirc) | 06:11 |
| mentoc | genewitch: :) I'm too happy with the work I've puut into this install so far :P | 06:11 |
| genewitch | LAcan: like wifi on boot? | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: configure it in /etc/network/interfaces is one way | 06:11 |
| mentoc | genewitch: well, except for the mounting issue lol | 06:11 |
| DrManhattan | edbian, that's ok. I figured i'd let the devs here know and if they were interested in it, they'd fix it. If not, I'm not really worried about it | 06:12 |
| LAcan | ActionParsnip, whats a simple line to put in interfaces? I wanna use that NIC for kismet...? | 06:12 |
| Delahunt | if someone deletes their /etc/mtab you cannot fsck the read-only squashfs. you can get lucky and stash it in their casper-rw if you loop-mount it rw | 06:12 |
| dibs | anyone getting random app stops redraw issue till you resize or maxmise or unmaximise? | 06:12 |
| Delahunt | but that assumes it can fix that | 06:12 |
| nitAI | ActionParsnip: ok thank you, I'll try | 06:12 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: There are rarely devs in here. Submitting a bug is the best way to contact them | 06:12 |
| DrManhattan | I am not really up to the whole bug filing process | 06:12 |
| Delahunt | anyways, there you have it, have a good day :) | 06:12 |
| Andy_C | hoping someone can make some very specific laptop recommendations. I am looking for a laptop in the under $400 range that supports ubuntu 11.04. I would prefer to have a 15.6" monitor and one of the keyboards that has the number pad built in | 06:12 |
| Andy_C | i purchased this one http://tinyurl.com/4yz3v72 from best buy | 06:12 |
| Andy_C | but can't get the wireless up and running so I am going to take it back | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: just add lines to set it to dhcp or static IP as you desire, interfaces configured in that file cannot be managed from network manager / wicd / the like | 06:12 |
| DrManhattan | f it, I'll give it a shot | 06:12 |
| amand | @vanmik: I remember the issue. the Disk Util from the GUI formats the from FS type. go to Terminal, and type DiskUtil listFilesystem. Then use DiskUtil to partition the drive as MBR Fat32. and the primary partition must be under 800MB. Then you need to make that parition bootable using dd utility. | 06:12 |

| axisys | ActionParsnip: i got my unity back .. thanks for your help | 06:13 |
| amand | @vanmik: I meant formats the wrong FS, the the from FS. | 06:13 |

| Andy_C | ActionParsnip: what does that mean? | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: run: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 06:13 |
| genewitch | mentoc: replace the /dev/sdb1 with whatever your ssd is. | 06:13 |
| DrManhattan | aw dude look at that page | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy_C: click the links and read.... | 06:14 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: Are you talking to me? | 06:14 |
| genewitch | the partition number, not the device itself ;-) | 06:14 |
| DrManhattan | that is just too much effort | 06:14 |
| LAcan | ActionParsnip, i know how to edit it, i just need the line to put in there for the interfaces | 06:14 |
| DrManhattan | yeah edbian sorry man | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: add these 2 lines: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp | 06:14 |

| genewitch | DrManhattan: if you link me to your bug report when you're done i'll second it and add any info i can | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: change eth0 to the interface you want network manager to ignore | 06:14 |
| LAcan | ActionParsnip, ty | 06:14 |
| genewitch | DrManhattan: we don't eve have the same chipset or HDD | 06:14 |

| ActionParsnip | LAcan: if you want to SET the address then read this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ | 06:15 |
| DrManhattan | genewitch, what chipset/drive are you using? | 06:15 |
| genewitch | mentoc: it may not work like that, because something in /home might be in use or something | 06:15 |
| celthunder | /b 11 | 06:15 |
| genewitch | DrManhattan: uhm, stand by | 06:15 |
| LAcan | ActionParsnip, ideally i would put it in moniotr mode...? | 06:15 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: try websearching instead of immediately asking for help after someone gives you direction, you'll learn your OS more | 06:15 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: not sure there, hunt around for options | 06:15 |
| mentoc | ActionParsnip: ++ | 06:16 |
| LAcan | ActionParsnip, man ive searched quite a bit... monitor mode aint the most obvious thing in the world... but w/e ill figure it out | 06:17 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: were you aware of the interfaces file before? | 06:17 |
| LAcan | of course | 06:17 |

| DrManhattan | ok let me go through all this bs with accounts and the such | 06:19 |
| edbian | DrManhattan: I can relate to you here. I too find it annoying / ridiculous that one needs an account to post a bug. | 06:19 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: let me see if I can find stuff | 06:19 |

| Galaxor | Hi. I'm using ubuntu 10.04. I wanted to add the repository for firefox 4. I did sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install firefox. It said that firefox was already the newest version. | 06:25 |
| dijonyummy | its gnome-system-monitor | 06:25 |
| nsisodiya | edbian, thanks | 06:26 |
| DrManhattan | genewitch, yeah well, that and the tendency to deny the problem exists. | 06:26 |
| ohsix | Snicers-Home: then theres badblocks, which can be dangerous in the presence of an actual damaged disk | 06:26 |
| Snicers-Home | ohsix, why is that dangerous? | 06:26 |

| edbian | Galaxor: 3.6.X is newest in Ubuntu 10.04. firefox4 is in 11.04 !ff4 | 06:26 |
| ohsix | Snicers-Home: and you probably want to check out gddrescue too, in the face of disk damage it can help you copy what can be recovered | 06:26 |
| edbian | !ff4 | 06:26 |
| ubottu | Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox | 06:26 |
| ActionParsnip | dijonyummy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/603986/ | 06:26 |
| edbian | Galaxor: see what Ubottu said? ^^^ | 06:27 |
| ohsix | Snicers-Home: because badblocks can be told to rewrite what it reads to disk, which can damage the filesystem when you don't intend to do that | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: try: sudo apt-get -y --reinstall install firefox | 06:27 |
| Galaxor | edbian: That's exactly what I did. It didn't work. | 06:27 |

| ohsix | kilimanjaro: ok, on the login screen after you click on your name; there is a list of sessions you can start at the bottom, pick Ubuntu Classic; finish logging in | 06:28 |
| kilimanjaro | ohsix, ohh that's pretty simple, thanks | 06:28 |

| edbian | Galaxor: admittedly it is a bit of a guess | 06:37 |
| ohsix | Snicers-Home: theres no practical difference if you're just installing things, they all call dpkg to do the work; aptitude gives you a list of packages, changes, and all possible package resolutions, and you can read the changelogs for a package easily | 06:37 |

| amand | I resolved my OSX Cups printing to Ubuntu issue. It turns out the default Ubuntu Browse Publishing protocols are CUPS and dnssd. OSX defaults to only dnssd, so I just had to change add cups to the browseremote options. For anyone interested, I had to run the following on MAC and printing started working: cupsctl BrowseRemoteProtocols=cups | 06:40 |
| DrManhattan | ok genewitch I gotta know | 06:40 |
| genewitch | Snicers-Home: yes with a "but" | 06:40 |
| DrManhattan | what single package takes THAT long to compile? | 06:40 |
| genewitch | DrManhattan: libreoffice | 06:40 |
| Snicers-Home | genewitch, what is the "but"? | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: xorg takes a fair whack of time ;) | 06:40 |
| tripelb | What can I get --cheaply-- that will keep the computer running through a flash of no electricity. ( ActionParsnip hi, desktop) | 06:40 |
| edbian | ohsix: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable ? | 06:40 |
| ohsix | Snicers-Home: not in a way that is supported, you'd have to do it all yourself and replace the bootloader, which might not be able to be done depending on the phone & bootloader version, i can say with confidence that you almost for sure don't want to do it anyways | 06:41 |
| new_kid1 | hi, some months back I had this pulse audio tool installed ...........it was like only two level indicators jumping with sound .......What is the name of that package ???? | 06:41 |
| genewitch | Snicers-Home: you have to either do a bootstrap yourself or google for the images, it's not a click and install lke it is on a pc | 06:41 |
| Galaxor | edbian: It's not supposed to have firefox-4. It's supposed to have firefox. | 06:41 |
| nsisodiya | karthick87, try to get error logs from /var/log/dmesg files... | 06:41 |
| edbian | Galaxor: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable Like this | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: and do you have autologin enabled? (grab a UPS for continual power supply in outage) | 06:41 |
| ohsix | Snicers-Home: you can get a board with omap4 and try the new stuff in natty though :D | 06:41 |
| genewitch | Snicers-Home: i suggest looking up "mer" for ARM | 06:41 |
| nsisodiya | karthick87, it may be because of incorrect resolution | 06:41 |
| DrManhattan | ahh thats a single node single core | 06:41 |
| Flynn | Where did the name Ubuntu come from | 06:41 |
| pizzas | ActionParsnip I am new to all this VM stuff. How do I setup the max hard drive space on a vbox? | 06:41 |
| xim_ | is there any nvidia multimonitor setting that will allow screensavers to pan both monitors rather than running the same screensaver independantly on both monitors? | 06:42 |
| genewitch | DrManhattan: 2 ECU, which is like a 2ghz xeon | 06:42 |
| genewitch | DrManhattan: it's no slouch | 06:42 |
| ceo | ....................? | 06:42 |
| ohsix | edbian: there's no pocket in that ppa for anything but maverick and lucid, and the builds for "firefox" are firefox 4 and current | 06:42 |
| ActionParsnip | pizzas: ask in #vmware I'm not sure but setting the VM to use 100% space isn't a good idea | 06:42 |
| genewitch | DrManhattan: especially since the only difference between the -j2 compile and the -j11 compile was distcc (same base machine) | 06:42 |
| Galaxor | edbian: Hm. It does show the firefox package there. | 06:42 |
| pizzas | ActionParsnip Thanks, I will check out vmware | 06:42 |
| DrManhattan | my q6600 would WHOOP it! | 06:42 |
| edbian | ohsix: I see that. Galaxor Is saying he added that PPA (in 10.04) and he cannot find firefox (version 4) | 06:43 |
| ohsix | Flynn: it used to be a page on the website, it's a word in urdu or swahili or something that means sharing and peoplesomething, wikipedia probably knows :D | 06:43 |
| DrManhattan | I took my overclock off though, the system actually performs better | 06:43 |
| cgo81 | is there a way to have a different wallpaper per virtual desktop? | 06:43 |
| edbian | Galaxor: wait, 10.04 is what animal? lucid lynx? | 06:43 |
| DrManhattan | I was able to set it to perf level 5 | 06:43 |
| DrManhattan | vs 7 at the 3g overclock | 06:43 |
| ohsix | edbian: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable?field.series_filter=lucid | 06:43 |
| DrManhattan | system is a lot happier and seems more powerful than it did with the 3g o/c | 06:43 |
| Galaxor | edbian: Is there an easy way to find out what animal we're talking about here? | 06:43 |
| edbian | ohsix: the firefox package is missing | 06:43 |
| genewitch | DrManhattan: I finished building a 64 bit AMI, so i can spin up 33.5 ECU instances with distcc now... 33.5ghz opteron nodes? :-P | 06:44 |
| edbian | Galaxor: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 06:44 |
| ohsix | cgo81: unfortunately not easily :[ and i don't think the one way to do it is even supported anymore with compiz | 06:44 |
| Galaxor | Say, y'know, apt-get keeps on saying that 1 package was not upgraded - upstart. | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: how long does a kernel build take for you? | 06:44 |
| Galaxor | Does that mean that I've gotta do - like - a distupgrade or something? | 06:44 |
| edbian | ohsix: It is in that repo (in the link) but Galaxor cannot find it in synaptic or apt | 06:44 |
| ohsix | cgo81: you can manually assemble a wallpaper and if you don't have it stretch it might do what you expect, but i haven't tried it | 06:44 |
| DrManhattan | genewitch, jeez what do you even DO with that? I'd set up raytracing and rent the thing out | 06:44 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: ~4:30:00 real time | 06:44 |
| DrManhattan | ActionParsnip, a couple of minutes | 06:45 |
| karthick87 | nsisodiya: I dont think so, then how root login is accepted? | 06:45 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, I dont know what autologin is. .. I do now and I have it enabled...when I login some yellow notepad things start-up | 06:45 |
| ohsix | edbian: well that link is what's in the ppa for 10.04; that's why i posted it, who knows why he's not seeing it, did he update after adding the ppa? | 06:45 |
| genewitch | DrManhattan: already on it. i have a terragen rendering cluster as my next project | 06:45 |
| cgo81 | ohsix: ty, ill whip a longgggg wallpaper up in gimp and see it that works | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: yikes, nice | 06:45 |
| edbian | ohsix: He did | 06:45 |
| edbian | Galaxor: what version are you running? | 06:45 |
| DrManhattan | genewitch, just give me a job when you get the business going | 06:45 |
| nsisodiya | karthick87, check the permission of /home/user folder | 06:45 |
| edbian | Galaxor: system -> about Ubuntu | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: when you start the system, do you have to log in or do you get dropped on the desktop? | 06:45 |
| genewitch | DrManhattan: well, it's going :-) we're not hiring yet though | 06:45 |
| nsisodiya | karthick87, ls -l | 06:45 |
| new_kid1 | hi, some months back I had this pulse audio tool installed ...........it was like only two level indicators jumping with sound .......What is the name of that package ???? | 06:46 |
| stojabreak | how i can reset all programs and configuration in Natty :( ? thanks !! | 06:46 |
| genewitch | anyhow i am done off topic, i want my BT headset to work, and the things on the bluetooth page don't work, since i don't have alsa | 06:46 |
| DrManhattan | thats ok, im still quite ill and in a lot of pain | 06:46 |
| nsisodiya | karthick87, how to got into this problem.. how it started ? | 06:46 |

| KM0201 | hmm | 06:46 |
| edbian | Galaxor: I have no idea what is going on here | 06:46 |
| * ActionParsnip sighs | 06:46 | |
| edbian | Unfortunately I have to go though :( | 06:46 |
| Flynn | Bye room. | 06:47 |
| edbian | Galaxor: By all accounts it should be working fine how you set it up | 06:47 |
| Galaxor | Hm. According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases, there's a 10.04.2 | 06:47 |
| cgo81 | mac, pc, linix.. if you can get your tasks done it doesnt matter | 06:47 |
| tripelb | cgo81, when you get the answer, please tell me. I'd like to have a different wallpaper on each desktop --> very much so . | 06:47 |
| genewitch | Galaxor: apt-get dist-upgrade? | 06:47 |
| edbian | Galaxor: whatev. That shouldn't matter | 06:47 |
| edbian | Galaxor: You can try the dist-upgrade | 06:47 |
| genewitch | make sure you apt-get update first | 06:47 |
| KM0201 | tripelb: there was an app that did that for Gnome. | 06:48 |
| cgo81 | tripelb: will do! | 06:48 |
| Galaxor | I did the dist-upgrade and it didn't do anything. It said upstart was kept back. | 06:48 |
| === rob_p_ is now known as rob_p | ||
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: its because it's deps aren't met | 06:48 |
| tripelb | (what is mode +q ?) | 06:48 |
| genewitch | new_kid1: pavumeter - PulseAudio Volume Meter | 06:48 |
| genewitch | new_kid1: you're welcome | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: when the deps are met on the repository, the package will be updated | 06:49 |
| Snicers-Home | I upgraded from 10.10 to Natty and it broke my ability to use "tasksel" command, is this normal? | 06:49 |
| Galaxor | upstart: Breaks: libc6 (< 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.8) but 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.7 is to be installed | 06:49 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: what does it depend on? | 06:49 |
| ActionParsnip | edbian: not sure, package.ubuntu.com will say, if the version of the dependancies of a package are not met, it will be 'held back' until they are | 06:50 |
| edbian | Galaxor: fix your libc6 problem and I think you'll have fixed your firefox package | 06:50 |
| karthick87 | nsisodiya: It started recently without making any changes | 06:51 |
| ohsix | Snicers-Home: it shouldn't have, what is it saying? all tasksel does is install some virtuals iirc; but does it with a lower "question" threshold so you can configure the packages a bit more | 06:51 |
| cntb | a good online ref for commands like list of vars in a terminal | 06:51 |
| genewitch | edbian: is that apt-get install build-essential? | 06:51 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: It's from a PPA. It's not going to show up in pacakges.ubuntu.com | 06:51 |
| edbian | genewitch: huh? | 06:51 |
| genewitch | cntb: printenv | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | edbian: then deps will need to be met | 06:51 |
| Galaxor | edbian: How do I fix the libc6 problem? I've got libc6 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.7. If I apt-get install it, it says it's the latest version. | 06:51 |
| KM0201 | tripelb: http://wallpapoz.akbarhome.com/ | 06:51 |
| genewitch | edbian: build-essential should update libc, right? | 06:51 |
| edbian | genewitch: I don't know. Sure? | 06:51 |
| DrManhattan | AHA - libreoffice | 06:51 |
| edbian | Galaxor: genewitch seems to think build-essential will fix it? | 06:51 |
| cntb | genewitch: tyvm | 06:52 |
| genewitch | Galaxor: apt-get install build-essential | 06:52 |
| Snicers-Home | ohsix, it just says Aptitude failed and drops me back into standard black/white terminal | 06:52 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: Please explain how to find the dependencies of firefox 4 when it is from a PPA | 06:52 |
| genewitch | cntb: np | 06:52 |
| Galaxor | genewitch: build-essential is already the newest version. | 06:52 |
| ohsix | Snicers-Home: do you have another package manager open? | 06:52 |
| genewitch | and are you root | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | edbian: if you use apt-get it will tell you what it needs | 06:52 |
| genewitch | or sudo | 06:52 |
| jiltdil | hi i have two account on empathy when i logged to one the second is not going to connect after? | 06:52 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: I am not doing it | 06:52 |
| jiltdil | please help | 06:52 |
| ohsix | edbian: same way you do it when it isn't from a ppa; it's very easy in aptitude as it's on the package property window | 06:53 |
| Snicers-Home | ohsix, No, I run terminal only mode for my servers at work. | 06:53 |
| Galaxor | ii build-essential 11.4build1 | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | edbian: not doing what? | 06:53 |
| johnathan | hey y'all. So i have gtkp-recordmydesktop and i have been trying to use it, but I have a problem... i have it switched to 'encode on the fly' and then when i go to open the file the video is super fast and after the video is over the audio drags on... | 06:53 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: Galaxor is actually installing firefox4 I was helping him | 06:53 |
| Galaxor | ActionParsnip: upstart is looking for 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.8, but 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.7 is the latest in the repository. | 06:53 |
| edbian | ohsix: So what, sudo apt-get install firefox That's not going to show dependencies because it can install firefox 3.6.x | 06:53 |
| genewitch | Galaxor: have you tried switching repositories? | 06:53 |
| ohsix | johnathan: that's weird; and i don't have a solution, but i have had luck with "istanbul", another desktop recorder if you simply want to try an alternate | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: then find a deb for the newer version | 06:53 |
| fisix | hey, my laptop has a weird 6 GB E: drive. there's nothing in it. would it be possible to dual boot by just installing ubuntu on that drive? | 06:54 |
| cntb | then genewitch how do I find where firefox is storing temp videos ? | 06:54 |
| genewitch | fisix: should. | 06:54 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: genewitch firefox4 can't be installing in 10.04 ?! | 06:54 |
| Galaxor | genewitch: Switch how? From what to what? | 06:54 |
| edbian | fisix: yes | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: what package needs to be the 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.8 ? | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | edbian: sure it can | 06:54 |
| Galaxor | ActionParsnip: Sorry, libc6. | 06:54 |
| genewitch | cntb: In the ~/.mozilla/firefox//Cache folder | 06:54 |
| tripelb | FYI - (in 12 months) http://tinyurl.com/3fzbjxo -- David Braben, developer of the classic game 'Elite', has made a PC into a USB stick. Based on a 700 MHz ARM11 and 128 MB of RAM, the "Raspberry Pi" has a USB-A socket on one end, a HDMI video output on the other (which can display 1080p), a MicroSD slot in the middle, and an expansion socket on top for, say, a 12MP camera. It ships with Ubuntu, and will sell for $25. | 06:54 |
| edbian | fisix: It sounds to me like that's just a partition on 1 harddrive | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: what is the output of: uname -m | 06:55 |
| cntb | k | 06:55 |
| genewitch | edbian: i had ff4 in 10.10, i never used 10.04 desktop | 06:55 |
| fisix | great thans genewitch and edbian . do u have any guesses as to what it is? | 06:55 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: But he needs to download a deb of lib6c? | 06:55 |
| edbian | fisix: Just made one :) | 06:55 |
| Galaxor | ActionParsnip: x86_64. | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: ok give me a sec | 06:55 |
| ohsix | you shouldn't ever have to download a deb for something tracked in the archive D: | 06:55 |
| genewitch | fisix: the partition? it was probably a restore partition. | 06:55 |
| stan | omg guise i broked my computor | 06:55 |
| fisix | edbian, ohh i see. i didn't know separate partitions showed up as free space on the drive | 06:55 |
| Snicers-Home | Is it at all possible to split a dual core proccessor and run windows and linux at the same time on one machine without having to us VM? | 06:55 |

| edbian | stan: Your window manager crashed | 06:56 |
| stan | ah | 06:56 |
| edbian | stan: you crashed your window manager | 06:56 |
| genewitch | Snicers-Home: servers is ESXi (good luck finding compatible hardware) and the second is google and http://www.colinux.org/ | 06:56 |
| stan | i feel 'tarded lol | 06:56 |

| joshua12 | yesterday i have just installed xubuntu 11.04 on my netbook. | 06:57 |

| joshua12 | i want to use korean langauge but can't install. | 06:57 |
| ohsix | Snicers-Home: because you probably wouldn't like what you get when you do it :D and vm's are generally involved | 06:58 |
| Galaxor | ActionParsnip: That seems like a bad idea. Why can't I get that package from the repos? | 06:58 |
| * edbian agrees | 06:58 | |
| jack123 | any 1 willing to help me | 06:58 |
| genewitch | Galaxor: it's liek it's redhat in 1998. it's fine, i would think. | 06:58 |

| jack123 | i want to remove linux boot record plz help | 06:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: it's in the lucid-updates repo | 06:58 |
| genewitch | ClaudiuT: apt-get remove sudo | 06:58 |
| edbian | stan: metacity --display=:0.0 | 06:59 |
| edbian | stan: I think | 06:59 |
| genewitch | ClaudiuT: don't do that though without making a root password | 06:59 |
| Galaxor | lucid-updates is like a backports repo? | 06:59 |
| ohsix | ClaudiuT: /etc/sudoers, and man sudoers, but why would you want to do that? | 06:59 |
| stan | edbian: looks like that worked | 06:59 |
| jack123 | insanely maccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc | 06:59 |
| edbian | stan: yay | 06:59 |
| stan | thx :-) | 06:59 |
| edbian | stan: Next time you restart it will be back to normal | 06:59 |
| stan | but now is compiz still crashed? | 06:59 |
| edbian | stan: no problem | 06:59 |
| edbian | stan: compiz is not running | 07:00 |
| Galaxor | Can I see, like, a list of repos and what version of upstart each one offers? | 07:00 |
| stan | i was trying to get into compiz to twiddle with effects, obviously i do not know what i'm doing :-X | 07:00 |
| ClaudiuT | ohsix: I have "root ALL=(ALL) ALL" in my /etc/sudoers | 07:00 |
| stan | edbian: so how do i ahve windows w/o compiz? is this something i really need to google myself? lol | 07:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: in my natty it says they are recommended updates. | 07:00 |
| edbian | stan: compiz --replace& in a terminal (Don't press ctrl + c unless you wanna switch to tty1 again) | 07:00 |
| edbian | stan: compiz and metacity are both window managers. You're using metacity right now. | 07:00 |
| edbian | stan: compiz does pretty effects. | 07:01 |
| edbian | stan: You can't do both at once | 07:01 |
| Galaxor | Cuz why would upstart require a package that can't be installed? I'm thinking I've got some other weird ppa I installed that's offering a newer version of upstart or something. | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | !noroot | ClaudiuT | 07:01 |
| ubottu | ClaudiuT: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 07:01 |
| stan | ah interesting, thats why all the wiggly window effects arent working now lolol | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | !root | ClaudiuT | 07:01 |
| ubottu | ClaudiuT: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 07:01 |
| edbian | stan: compiz --replace and metacity --replace can be used to switch | 07:01 |
| edbian | stan: that's right | 07:01 |
| stan | so now if i went in and did compiz --display = : 0.0 would i beback on compiz? | 07:01 |
| edbian | stan: you do compiz --replace now | 07:01 |
| stan | ah ok | 07:01 |
| edbian | stan: yep | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: because it depends on that package being installed to at least that version | 07:01 |
| edbian | stan: good? It's my bed time | 07:02 |
| stan | edbian: no, im sitting on a blank line in the console | 07:02 |
| beinghuman | sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove isn't working | 07:02 |
| * stan is a huge linux noob :-( | 07:02 | |
| Galaxor | ActionParsnip: So canonical put a package in the repositories whose dependencies can't be satisfied? | 07:02 |
| i3rixon | exit | 07:02 |
| ohsix | Galaxor: did they? | 07:02 |
| edbian | stan: if you run compiz --replace it will take up the terminal | 07:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: currently, yes. When the packages are at the right version, the updates will come | 07:03 |
| edbian | stan: Until you kill it. (then you have no window manager...) | 07:03 |
| Galaxor | Hm. | 07:03 |
| edbian | stan: Does that answer your question? | 07:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: happens sometimes | 07:03 |
| ksidirt_ | How come compizconfig doesnt apply any changes I choose? | 07:03 |
| ohsix | Galaxor: there might be an incomplete update, or something not on your mirror yet; but generally they don't, loud alarms go off and packages don't build generally if the deps aren't available | 07:03 |
| stan | edbian: got it, i needed to go in terminal. what is ctrl alt f1 thing called? not a console? | 07:03 |
| edbian | stan: That's a console. The prompt is the console. That is TTY1 (teletype 1) | 07:04 |
| stan | is that the 'shell'? | 07:04 |
| * stan dodges flames | 07:04 | |
| stan | ah ok | 07:04 |
| edbian | stan: shell, terminal, console all the same thing effectively | 07:04 |
| stan | ok | 07:04 |
| stan | so if i wanted to mess with compiz settings in the terminal, i have to type my commands when i say compiz | 07:04 |
| stan | i cant 'open' compiz per-se? | 07:04 |
| Galaxor | ActionParsnip, ohsix: Okay. So that explains why upstart isn't updating. | 07:04 |
| edbian | stan: Just turn compiz on using compiz --replace. Then you can mess with the settings using compizconfig-settings-manager | 07:05 |
| Galaxor | ActionParsnip: But my original problem is that the "firefox" package from the firefox ppa isn't showing up. | 07:05 |
| edbian | stan: And you can have compiz turn on by default (I think it does in Ubuntu nowadays) | 07:05 |
| vanmik_ | how to install this on ubuntu machine witouth internet - http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/linux-backports-modules-net-2.6.38-8-generic ? | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: did you run: sudo apt-get update | 07:05 |
| Galaxor | ActionParsnip: So many times. | 07:05 |
| stan | LOLFUCK closed that temrinal window and compiz died again ROFL | 07:05 |
| edbian | stan: rofl copter | 07:05 |
| stan | sorry guys, ill google | 07:06 |
| edbian | but please don't swear | 07:06 |
| stan | :-X | 07:06 |
| ActionParsnip | vanmik_: grab the deb and copy it to the webless system | 07:06 |
| edbian | stan: Bed time for me! | 07:06 |
| ActionParsnip | vanmik_: you will need to manually satisfy deps as well which could get tiring | 07:06 |
| edbian | stan: Have fun! :) Pretty sure if you restart compiz will be running and you won't need to compiz --replace it in a terminal | 07:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Galaxor: could try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install firefox-4.0; sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa | 07:07 |
| jack123 | guysssssssssssss i needdddddd helppppppppppppppppppppppppppp | 07:08 |

| jack123 | ok | 07:10 |
| cgo81 | jack123: we dont need the extra letters. so do you mean grub is installed and you want to remove that/ | 07:10 |
| ActionParsnip | jack123: please don't type like that, its harder to read and completely unnecessary. | 07:10 |
| jack123 | yes gurb is installed i want to remove it | 07:10 |
| jack123 | so that directly windows 7 starts | 07:10 |
| ActionParsnip | jack123: just install a different bootloader then | 07:10 |
| jack123 | how to do that | 07:10 |
| ActionParsnip | jack123: then ask in ##windows how to reinstate the windows botloader | 07:11 |
| genewitch | jack123: boot into recovery mode on windows and do fdisk /fixmbr | 07:11 |
| Galaxor | ActionParsnip: Oh good. Then I am not crazy. | 07:11 |
| ActionParsnip | jack123: type /join ##windows | 07:11 |

| ActionParsnip | jack123: you can modify grub so windows is the default OS | 07:11 |
| cgo81 | win7 disk can repair mbr | 07:11 |
| jack123 | ok thanks | 07:11 |
| ActionParsnip | atdprhs: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 07:11 |
| jack123 | thank you all | 07:11 |
| atdprhs | no | 07:12 |
| jack123 | i had really bad experience with linux | 07:12 |
| atdprhs | I don't know about that | 07:12 |
| cgo81 | you're welcome @ jack123 | 07:12 |
| jack123 | specially linux ubuntu | 07:12 |
| genewitch | atdprhs: you should, it is probably incomplete. | 07:12 |
| genewitch | jack123: you should probably leave now before you get banned :-/ | 07:12 |
| atdprhs | ActionParsnip, I installed ubuntu on my personal laptop from the same live CD | 07:12 |
| jack123 | banned why .? | 07:12 |
| food1 | jack123: there many distro out there try another or go back to windows | 07:12 |
| cgo81 | ya, especially after that silly cyber guy was spamming all that mac propaganda | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | atdprhs: ok then make the CD test itself for defects, you may want to test the ram too | 07:13 |
| atdprhs | ActionParsnip and Genewitch, and after I finished, I tried installing it on the toshiba one | 07:13 |

| jack123 | yesterday 2 people help me a lot regarding ubuntu. but no luck | 07:15 |
| ActionParsnip | atdprhs: so by freeze do you mean a black screen? | 07:15 |
| atdprhs | yes | 07:15 |
| atdprhs | it freezes on a blank screen | 07:15 |
| ActionParsnip | atdprhs: then SAY THAT | 07:15 |
| jack123 | problem was that i wans not able to start the interent in ubuntu | 07:15 |
| ActionParsnip | atdprhs: what video chip do you use? | 07:15 |
| jack123 | but in live cd it was working | 07:15 |

| arhyttin | Guest96092: but, you could try navigating vodafone site, to Linux driver downloads or something liek that | 07:42 |
| Guest96092 | I installed the drivers but my issue now is how to setup the network connection cause I have not packadge installed for that | 07:42 |

| cjaredrun | agillator might find something that fits here http://www.ubuntu.com/community/report-problem | 07:46 |
| jbicha | !dvd | Reign_ | 07:46 |
| josuf107 | fisix: don't feel bad about yourself, anyone could have made that mistake. You're allowed to feel about your lost data though =/ | 07:46 |
| ubottu | Reign_: 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 | 07:46 |
| cjaredrun | mailing lists, etc | 07:46 |
| Guest96092 | celtjunter:how much ram does ubuntu use just for internet | 07:47 |
| agillator | Many thanks, cjaredrun | 07:47 |
| cjaredrun | np agillator | 07:47 |
| arhyttin | Guest96092: how much ram is used depends on how many, and what, internet sites you have open... | 07:47 |
| fisix | D: | 07:47 |
| preds | Just upgraded to 11.04, how do I move this new bar thing from the left to the bottom of the screen? | 07:47 |
| celthunder | Guest96092: depends on your browser...what you have open etc | 07:47 |
| jbicha | Reign_: you can also open the Help app and search for DVD and it will give you the same instructions but maybe easier | 07:47 |
| arhyttin | Guest96092: with Internet of todya, 512 may be a bit little for power using, but it's completely usable for sure | 07:48 |
| Guest96092 | will xubuntu use less ram than ubuntu? | 07:48 |
| arhyttin | probably | 07:48 |
| jbicha | Reign_: and then even Movie Player should support DVDs but I use VLC, I've not used xine in a long long time | 07:48 |
| Reign_ | jbicha: back to instruction problems. It tells me to do things but not how | 07:48 |
| celthunder | Guest96092: theoretically yes | 07:48 |
| Viking667 | Ubuntu Server shouldn't have any issues with 256Mb memory, should it? (if we're not using stuff like apache/proftpd/mail+) | 07:48 |
| arhyttin | Guest96092: note: the line between ubuntu and xubuntu is quite small, you can get xubuntu on any ubuntu by installing "xubuntu-desktop" package | 07:49 |
| rob_p | Guest96092: There's also lubuntu which *should* run on lower end hardware. | 07:49 |
| celthunder | Guest96092: since you can install any wm/de in any distro ...no not really | 07:49 |
| preds | Viking667, without a gui, 256mb is sufficient | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Reign_: the dvd guide will make ANY player play DVD as there is a central storage of plugins | 07:49 |
| arhyttin | Guest96092: and if you use xubunut installer, you can get full gnome from "ubuntu-desktop" package | 07:49 |
| vanquish349 | i need some help making a launcher for ace of spades | 07:49 |
| Reign_ | ActionParsnip: that does not make sense to me. Please explain. | 07:49 |
| Guest96092 | ok thatnk you | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Reign_: I suggest you add the medibuntu repo and install w32codecs too (I assume 32bit OS) | 07:49 |
| Guest96092 | thank you all | 07:49 |
| Guest96092 | for support | 07:50 |
| arhyttin | Guest96092: so I'd start with xubuntu installer, I think it installs less stuff, and it's always easier to install more than clean up stuff you don't need | 07:50 |
| jbicha | Reign_: "How do I enable restricted codecs to play DVDs" in Help walks you through the steps you need | 07:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Reign_: read the DVD link ubottu gave. When it has been ran then ay player will play dvd | 07:50 |
| Reign_ | ActionParsnip: I can't install anything. I can't figure out the instructions | 07:50 |
| Reign_ | ActionParsnip: I "run" the program and it tells me it can't find a plug in, no options | 07:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Reign_: press CTRL+ALT+T and you will get a terminal, then use the commands given | 07:50 |
| jbicha | Reign_: have you found Ubuntu Software Center yet? | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Reign_: I dont care about the program, you need to use the guide and run the 2 commands given in a terminal | 07:51 |
| e1nh4nd3r | So hey, how do you edit the command that a shortcut will execute in unity now? | 07:51 |
| Reign_ | ActionParsnip: I have tried running other commands but they don't work in Terminal. And yes, I found the Software Center. I can't even get it to let me access my anti virus it says I installed | 07:51 |
| jbicha | !antivirus | Reign_ | 07:51 |
| ubottu | Reign_: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Reign_: then you need to close software centre as that will lock the packages and cause errors | 07:52 |
| vanquish349 | i need some help making a launcher for a terminal command | 07:52 |
| Reign_ | Reign: I closed it and reopened it. Doesn't help. Instructions I have found on-line don't work. I have been at this for hours before finding this chat room | 07:52 |
| cjaredrun | vanquish349 what are you trying to launch | 07:52 |
| Reign_ | ActionParsnip: sorry, am getting frustrated, this comp is running slow and my other one won't run movies | 07:53 |
| jbicha | Reign_: Have you found the Help app? | 07:53 |
| vanquish349 | this command wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Ace\ of\ Spades/client.exe -aos://1966301112 | 07:53 |
| Reign_ | jbicha: Help app?? | 07:53 |
| LAcan | Does anyone know if Tomboy Notes for windows works with Ubuntu One? | 07:53 |
| zairo | hi. not sure if this is the correct channel. how to add new root certificates in ubuntu? | 07:53 |
| jbicha | Reign_: click the Ubuntu button in the top left and search for Help | 07:53 |
| Reign_ | There is no "DVD guide" under search | 07:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Reign_: all you need to run is: sudo apt-get install libdvdread4; sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 07:53 |
| celthunder | zairo: add them to /etc/ssl/certs i think | 07:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Reign_: I COPIED those from the DVD link ubottu gave | 07:54 |
| Reign_ | ActionParsnip: running that command will get a request for a password and make my keybvoard stop working | 07:54 |
| celthunder | Reign_: your keyboard still works it just doesn't show the password | 07:54 |
| zairo | celthunder: already add. it work fine if i curl -d url -k. how to make it function without -k? | 07:54 |
| jbicha | Reign_: search for Help and then once Help starts search for the DVD codecs article | 07:54 |
| cjaredrun | vanquish349 this should help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToAddaLauncher | 07:54 |
| vanquish349 | cjaredrun: thanks | 07:54 |
| cjaredrun | np vanquish349 | 07:54 |
| Reign_ | I have to go. This comp isn't working right. Thanks for you help. I wish I even understood what you were telling me. | 07:55 |

| celthunder | survivor030406: ? | 08:03 |
| mozeee | what is the command line for log out i want to switch to another user? | 08:04 |
| celthunder | Guest633: since you're in here using a completely different distro (ok so am i) asking about completely unrelated stuff...i'm going to assume you're a 5 year old moron...stop wasting space and go away if i'm wrong..use google | 08:04 |
| celthunder | mozeee: exit | 08:04 |
| josuf107 | celthunder: what distro are you using? | 08:05 |
| arhyttin | mozeee: do you mean, switching at the command line (su can do that), or switching the entire desktop session, or just exiting to text login prompt, or forcing desktop session logout, or desktop session user switch?a | 08:05 |
| `[o_0]` | w00t | 08:06 |
| celthunder | josuf107: archlinux | 08:06 |
| `[o_0]` | ubuntu failz on my wifi but i has usb wifi stick... so yay :D | 08:06 |
| Snicers-Home | I am running Ubuntu 11.04 in VirtualBox, how do I make it so I can access my webserver from my host machine? | 08:06 |
| josuf107 | celthunder: no way me too, at least on this machine | 08:06 |
| survivor030406 | wow nice | 08:07 |
| hachouri | hello, I'm not able to add music to my ipad 1st gen using banshee, ios 4.2.1 and ubuntu natty | 08:07 |
| celthunder | Snicers-Home: start apache open iptables up on port 80 and visit the ip | 08:07 |
| survivor030406 | 2 base packs not installed? | 08:07 |
| survivor030406 | i should probably get those | 08:07 |
| Snicers-Home | celthunder, I have never done iptables, what is the command to get into it via terminal? | 08:07 |
| celthunder | Snicers-Home: since it's by default internal nat between vm and host it should let you do it. if not set the vm network type to be included in your normal network | 08:07 |
| mozeee | arhyttin: swwitch entire desktop session | 08:07 |
| iAmerikan | Does anyone know how to set up GTP during? Not converting? | 08:07 |
| mozeee | because now i have unity but it's not completly install that is why i want to come back to that classic gnom | 08:08 |
| celthunder | Snicers-Home: iptables -A -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Snicers-Home: if you have an X server you can use ufw | 08:09 |
| arhyttin | mozeee: from command line? | 08:09 |
| mozeee | yes! | 08:09 |
| josuf107 | mozee: do you login with gdm? | 08:09 |
| dimitri | hy guys, with ubuntu 11.04 i have some problem with classic interface. when the problam iconized the program is not visible after but runs | 08:09 |
| mozeee | josuf107: no | 08:09 |
| jimrew | hi when ubuntu comes out with unity and gnome 3 will i be abele to download gnome classic? | 08:09 |
| ActionParsnip | dimitri: add the windows list item to then panel. Do you mean minimized apps don't show? | 08:09 |
| celthunder | jimrew: gnome 3 and unity are already both available | 08:09 |
| celthunder | jimrew: gnome classic is gnome 3 in fallback mode | 08:10 |
| jimrew | oh thank you | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | cellardoor: gnome3 is not supported here as it is a 4rd party app | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | 3rd | 08:10 |
| arhyttin | mozeee: I've no experience with 11.04 yet, so can't comment much... other than what you want to do sounds bit odd, not sure if I'm not understanding, or if Unity has something strange in it | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !gnome3 | jimrew | 08:10 |
| Snicers-Home | celthunder, I got "bad argument: tcp" | 08:10 |
| ubottu | jimrew: 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. | 08:10 |
| dimitri | ActionParsnip, this problem is only for some program | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | dimitri: strange | 08:10 |
| dimitri | skype thunderbird | 08:10 |
| dimitri | but not with firefox | 08:10 |
| mozeee | the command was something like this: gnom --savesession --logout | 08:10 |
| mozeee | i don't know | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | dimitri: add the system tray item maybe | 08:11 |
| dimitri | ok i try | 08:11 |
| arhyttin | mozeee: ah, that makes it clear what you want. I have no answer though, if that doesn't work... :-( | 08:11 |
| dimitri | but this is a fresh installation | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | mozeee: gnome-session-save --kill --silent | 08:11 |
| dimitri | without any canghe | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !panels | dimitri | 08:11 |
| ubottu | dimitri: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 08:11 |
| jimrew | so that means ubuntu will allways have gnome classic? | 08:11 |
| cryptodira | burning the 11.04 iso to disk..... the iso checksum matches the ubuntu hash site.... looking at permissions on the new cd, returns: the permissions of ubuntu 11.04 amd64 could not be determined..... further, running check disk against the cd, returns: you do not have the required permissions to use this drive....... on last note: the cd does NOT boot, even tho, i have the cd as first choice in the bios....i see no cd act | 08:12 |
| cryptodira | ivity during boot up.... this is on a amd64 system with 10.10 installed only....... thoughts or suggestions?? | 08:12 |
| mozeee | ActionParsnip: and if i want to logout? | 08:12 |
| jimrew | fallback | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jimrew: who knows, lets wait and see :D | 08:12 |
| jimrew | ok | 08:12 |
| === Nappz is now known as Nappz-Zzz | ||
| mozeee | ActionParsnip: would you please type it again | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | mozeee: that's the command | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | mozeee: gnome-session-save --kill --silent | 08:12 |
| mozeee | thanks | 08:12 |
| Snicers-Home | jimrew, It will have gnome until unity is better and more widly accepted. | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | mozeee: you could have just scrolled up...... | 08:12 |
| mozeee | just cleared the scr | 08:13 |
| mozeee | :D | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | mozeee: i see | 08:13 |
| jimrew | tha say that ther working on gnome 3 with unity thats why im asking | 08:13 |
| * ActionParsnip shrugs | 08:13 | |
| celthunder | jimrew: you can only run one at a time | 08:13 |
| jimrew | ubuntu said that tha would try to fix that | 08:13 |
| jimrew | but i hope tha wount | 08:13 |
| celthunder | Snicers-Home: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT | 08:14 |
| jimrew | what do you think? | 08:14 |
| jimrew | celt | 08:14 |
| Snicers-Home | celthunder, Thank you very much. | 08:14 |
| Viking667 | In Unity, the panel that appears at the top of the screen with the indicators on it is really dark. How do I lighten up its background colour? Right-clicking on the panel does absolutely nothing, and menus are impossible to read against it. | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | jimrew: this is support only, chat about ubuntu is for #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:15 |
| celthunder | jimrew: fix what? i don't even use gnome3 or unity...they both fail imho | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: use the humanity dark icon theme | 08:15 |
| jimrew | oh im sory tha said this was the hellp place | 08:15 |
| Viking667 | ActionParsnip: hm. How do I get to that? | 08:15 |
| josuf107 | Viking667: System Settings -> Appearance -> | 08:15 |
| Viking667 | celthunder: I'm giving Unity a month... that way, I'll know if I can stand it or not. | 08:16 |
| Snicers-Home | celthunder, what do you recomend? | 08:16 |
| Viking667 | josuf107: thanks. | 08:16 |
| celthunder | Snicers-Home: for what? | 08:16 |
| Snicers-Home | celthunder, what do you recomend for a desktop enviornemnt. | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: right click desktop -> change background -> theme -> customise button -> icons tab | 08:16 |
| celthunder | xmonad | 08:16 |
| ben42 | hi, i can't disable compiz effect on 10.10, when i set it to none i still have shadow and fade zooming on icons and stuff | 08:16 |

| ben42 | how could i force it to none, (was tyhinking from gconf-editor) ? | 08:16 |

| dimitri | strange think.... i restart and now is right without any canche | 08:17 |
| ben42 | ActionParsnip, i still have the effects | 08:17 |
| Viking667 | ActionParsnip: that's exactly what I needed - thanks. | 08:17 |
| dimitri | i try it again | 08:17 |
| dimitri | thank you .... | 08:18 |
| Reign_ | I found the Help information on DVDs. Its not searchable by install or DVDs or plug ins for that matter. I clicked and installed all the required options. I restarted. It still doesn't work. | 08:18 |
| ben42 | ActionParsnip, is there a file i could remove to reset the conf ? | 08:18 |
| celthunder | josuf107: lol i have like 30 things open on a netbook and still using hardly any processor and only like 65mb of ram...not to mention it puts windows hwere i want automatically not all over the place... | 08:19 |
| celthunder | Reign_: what're you trying to do? | 08:19 |
| josuf107 | celthunder: i know. I never realized how much space I wasted looking at fragments of my background, and how much time I wasted moving windows around with my mouse | 08:19 |
| Reign_ | celthunder: play a movie for the last 3+ hours | 08:19 |
| Snicers-Home | celthunder, xmonad basically allows for multiple terminals in a text environment? | 08:20 |

| ActionParsnip | !broadcom | vanmik_ | 08:20 |
| ubottu | vanmik_: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 08:20 |
| josuf107 | snicers-home: it's a tiling window manager for X | 08:20 |
| Reign_ | celthunder: How exactly do I do that? The instructions don't make sense. I've been trying to install things. And can't! | 08:20 |
| pyrony | <3 | 08:21 |
| celthunder | Reign_: open a terminal and type apt-get install mplayer if it fails pastebin output and link | 08:21 |
| tramm | In Ubuntu gettext MO files are placed in /usr/share/locale or /usr/share/locale-langpack and the first directory is preferred to langpack directory. Is this all about MO file priorities in Ubuntu or is there a way of automatically overriding files by version number or date? Only by providing a modification of an original language pack as a DEB package using Replaces clause? | 08:21 |
| celthunder | Snicers-Home: xmonad.org | 08:22 |
| celthunder | josuf107: pm? | 08:22 |

| celthunder | ok pm me any time always on | 08:22 |
| Reign_ | celthunder: tried that. got error msgs. Asks if I'm root. I was unable to find out what root was by doing a help search earlier | 08:22 |
| celthunder | Reign_: sudo su - | 08:23 |
| celthunder | Reign_: after that you should be at a # sign...run the command from there | 08:23 |
| Reign_ | hold on, back up (am having serious problems with this computer's speed, making this even more difficult) | 08:23 |
| MethedMan | where to go for html php questions? | 08:24 |
| celthunder | MohammadAG: what's the question though i suspect #php...if it's basic i can help you | 08:24 |
| Reign_ | celthunder: start at the beginning, please, I am at a terminal prompt | 08:24 |
| celthunder | well 99 percent of php/html is basic but...you get the idea | 08:24 |
| celthunder | Reign_: sudo su - | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Reign_: sudo -i | 08:25 |
| celthunder | Reign_: after that it'll ask you for a password you type it in (it won't show you) | 08:25 |
| celthunder | Reign_: then apt-get install mplayer (or vlc if you want but...i prefer mplayer) | 08:25 |
| Reign_ | celthunder: I have root@(insert comp name here) | 08:25 |
| celthunder | Reign_: yep | 08:25 |

| apporc | novitololo: maybe gparted. | 08:30 |
| jbicha | !gparted | novitololo | 08:30 |
| ubottu | novitololo: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 08:30 |

| ActionParsnip | novitololo: you can make the partition in gparted, then format it under windows | 08:30 |
| novitololo | thanks :) | 08:30 |
| Reign_ | celthunder: did sudo su- and than the apt-get mplayer | 08:30 |

| Reign_ | UGH. This is reminding me of doing HTML help chat in the 90s. I had a teenager who could understand frames but not copy and paste | 08:34 |
| celthunder | fmntf: more likely its due to it can't read your home dir you using userdir addon or something else if something elsemount -o bind /home/user/folder /somethingapachecanread | 08:34 |
| Reign_ | celthunder: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline' | 08:34 |

| tripelb | I keep getting stuck in that. --- I know I looked in preferences. I ususally dont ask before looking. | 09:11 |

| ThinkingDragon | Hi, i'm on a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04, installed the Nvidia drivers already. Nvidia-Settings reports temperature of 80F, and using ANY app raises it to 100F, I can barely do anything before it shuts down from overheating, suggestions anyone? | 09:11 |
| celthunder | zus: no reason not to go 64 bit though... | 09:11 |
| pratz | celthunder: this is the output http://pastebin.com/7Hzx618p | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: or if you run: gedit ~/.config/autostart/transmission-gtk.desktop and add this text, it will run. http://paste.ubuntu.com/604002/ | 09:12 |
| zus | celthunder, this is a new machine for me never had a 64bit tbh. wot is the difference newbie question but never needed to worry till now. the desktop is 32bit the laptop is 64bit | 09:13 |
| luite | ThinkingDragon: I had the same problem and "solved" it by manually limiting the clock speed of the gpu to the lowest setting. By the way, did you mean 100C, because 100 Fahrenheit is quite cool for a GPU :) | 09:13 |

| pratz | celthunder: here http://pastebin.com/Q8VRXrfH | 09:18 |
| luite | ThinkingDragon: one moment, I'll check my config file. a disadvantage is that the gpu is then really locked to that speed, it will not dynamically increase the frequency anymore. this is probably not a problem with unity or the desktop, but will limit performance in games | 09:18 |
| Ek|mu5 | ActionParsnip, the thing is this worked on 10.10 but had to compile the VIA VT6656 drivers | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | gistian: you can put extra options on many compression commands and get different levels of compression | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Ek|mu5: sounds like a regression bug then | 09:19 |

| ActionParsnip | tramm: sweet | 09:27 |
| crash1hd | ActionParsnip, yeah is there a way to do that in terminal? | 09:27 |
| luite | ThinkingDragon: well it could still be. the windows 7 aero desktop doesn't tax the gpu as much as the ubuntu unity desktop in my experience | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | crash1hd: you can install pastebinit and pastebin from there | 09:27 |
| larz | celthunder: he can seem to connect to any network (wired or wireless) yet the live cd works | 09:28 |
| ThinkingDragon | luite: i tried unity, ubuntu classic, ubuntu classic (safe mode), etc. it happans always | 09:28 |
| celthunder | larz: ifconfig -a does he see his network devices | 09:28 |
| larz | celthunder: it is a fresh install too just wid updates | 09:28 |
| crash1hd | ActionParsnip, its already installed | 09:28 |

| siva | hello | 09:32 |
| tripelb | the second line is type=application -- I dont get it. ActionParsnip | 09:33 |
| luite | ThinkingDragon: oh by the way, the xorg.conf settings I mentioned only work if your gpu has multiple performance levels. you can check in nvidia-settings under GPU 0 / PowerMizer | 09:33 |
| celthunder | larz: if it's a home network and he doesn't know it's likelt 255.255.255.0 ...the network mask just helps tell you what subnet you are in | 09:33 |
| siva | the top right panel icons on ubu 11.04 is inactive except shut down option | 09:33 |
| crash1hd | ok so do I do #<-- is terminal #pastebinit || sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade or #sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade || pastebinit | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: find the word: Exec in the pastebin | 09:33 |

| MK`` | Will Ubuntu get confused if a harddrive has more than one extended partition on it? | 09:34 |
| celthunder | larz: no | 09:35 |
| eitch0000 | ActionParsnip, that does not quite explain how the motd gets updated. Is it a cronjob, or something that happens on ssh login? | 09:35 |
| MK`` | It seems to be a sort of wild-west thing to do that other OSes do not handle well | 09:35 |
| ThinkingDragon | luite: in Nvidia-Settings it doesnt say how many performance levels it has... but it says its set to "Performance Level 0" i'll try it anyway and see how it goes | 09:35 |
| celthunder | larz: ifconfig eth0 <HIS IP ADDRESS HERE> netmask 255.255.255.0 | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | eitch0000: seems to be stored in /etc/motd.tail maybe, not sure otherwise | 09:36 |

| tripelb | ActionParsnip, this page Introduction to Linux - http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/index.html | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | crash1hd: then remove nvidia-common then you should be using the open driver. You can always run: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf add the text: blacklist nvidia press X, press y, press enter then reboot | 09:45 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, I see you repeated things I had already done. I just didnt "get" that it had already saved the file by the way you had me start gedit. -- Got it now. | 09:45 |

| captceline | Carpe|Diem: is it gnome3 that is the problem? according to apt i'm not even running gnome3 and it doesn't look like gnome3 does on the gnome website | 10:49 |
| mateusz | how to turn off all those eye candy things in Ubuntu 11.04 | 10:49 |
| mateusz | ? | 10:49 |
| mateusz | I would like to have old gnome 2.32 desktop | 10:50 |
| captceline | Carpe|Diem: although it does look just like the screenshots on the ubuntu website | 10:50 |
| beli | mateusz: so define that you want to use gnome2 on login screen | 10:50 |
| Carpe|Diem | oh, captceline , i thought you were speaking about gnome3 | 10:50 |
| mateusz | beli, oh.. am I not using gnome2? | 10:50 |
| mateusz | beli, I thought it is still gnome2 | 10:50 |
| captceline | Carpe|Diem: i don't know, i'm using the default for natty narwhal.. with unity and all that stuff | 10:50 |
| mateusz | beli, I did not install gnome3 just upgraded to 11.04 Ubuntu | 10:51 |
| beli | mateusz: 11.04 is using unity | 10:51 |
| syockit | I'm using Intel GMA 950 for my graphics, and my glxinfo gives me SGI as the client glx vendor. Does that mean I'll never ever never ever get hardware-accelerated Flash? | 10:51 |
| mateusz | beli, ok thanks... this compositing things are slow and annoying | 10:51 |
| Carpe|Diem | captceline: that is gnome3 | 10:51 |
| beli | mateusz: define "eye-candy-stuff"....... :) ther are many new things with 11.04 | 10:51 |
| Carpe|Diem | i think | 10:51 |
| captceline | Carpe|Diem: it doesn't look like the gnome3 screenshots on the gnome website.. | 10:51 |
| mateusz | beli, yeah the compositing, shadows, slow but eye-candy transparent alt+tab | 10:52 |

| Carpe|Diem | see what version you have installed | 10:52 |
| mateusz | beli, no such a thing there, just theme,background,fonts | 10:53 |
| mateusz | beli, that's all | 10:53 |
| mateusz | beli, or is it not available for unity? | 10:53 |

| mateusz | beli, ok I am going to switch to gnome2 this is too slow and reminds me gnome3 horror... a desktop completly not usable for work | 10:54 |
| mateusz | beli, thanks | 10:54 |
| captceline | also, as someone said to me earlier, "Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible." | 10:54 |
| captceline | so i don't think gnome3 is the problem | 10:54 |
| Carpe|Diem | captceline: seems like im wrong than...anyways, the maxosx style menu bar at the top is *very* annoyinf | 10:54 |
| Carpe|Diem | annoying* | 10:55 |
| captceline | yeah. is there really no way of disabling it? | 10:55 |
| Carpe|Diem | i haven't found it myself | 10:55 |
| Carpe|Diem | :/ | 10:55 |
| syockit | Carpe|Diem, that is part of the unity experience. Maybe it comes with unity's panel | 10:55 |
| lgp171188 | syockit: Thanks :-) Since even with Wayland running, it would require X to run on top of it ( from what I have read, Wayland is still a project with a lot of scope for growth and improvement). So wanted to clarify :) | 10:55 |
| captceline | can't we just remove unity :/ | 10:55 |
| Carpe|Diem | sudo apt-get remove unity ? xD | 10:55 |
| captceline | i'm actually going to try it | 10:56 |
| syockit | lgp171188, no support for X11 protocol, so many apps would still need rewrites | 10:56 |

| OO2u | Hi, has anyone EDID.bin for LCD with natove resolution 1680x1050_60? | 10:59 |
| ramshot | The search was awesome, and I liked the launcher in general, but it's no substitute for a proper desktop-unique taskbar. Ahwell, can't really complain, classic mode works perfect and I'm actually having less work related issues with 11.04 than I had with 10.10 | 10:59 |
| captceline | Carpe|Diem: choose ubuntu classic at the login screen as syockit suggested, everything back to normal, win | 10:59 |

| syockit | ramshot, I think there's a similar launcher for gnome2. maybe gnome-do? | 11:01 |
| ramshot | syockit: Thanks, I'll check it out. Does it have a search like the one in Unity? | 11:01 |
| headnotfound | hey | 11:02 |
| syockit | ramshot, yes. It's what I used when Unity didn't exist. The search has to be activated using a hotkey (I think I used Win+Space) | 11:02 |
| thomas001 | hmm okay seems that /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu is for some kind of multi arch support. but when why is there a /usr/lib32 and not a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu? and why aren't all libraries moved to x86_64-linux-gnu... | 11:05 |

| JediMaster | hi guys, I've got pptpd setup on a ubuntu natty machine with samba setup on it too. I've firewalled down samba to one IP address on the internet and also the ppp local IP address of the same internet machine. I've been doing some bandwidth tests and directly over the internet public IP via samba (to a windows server 2008 r2 server) I can transfer a file through windows file sharing at 36MBytes/sec. | 11:30 |
| JediMaster | As soon as I use the local ppp IP address this drops to 2.2MBytes/sec. I can't figure out why, cpu usage on the windows server is about 5% on one of 8 cores, on the Ubuntu side it's showing as 0% cpu usage, what's slowing it down? | 11:30 |
| Hedgehog456 | Or you can just use file-roller | 11:30 |

| syockit | chiiiiiiz, gnome3 on ubuntu or gnome3 in general? because most users here probably do not use gnome3 as it is still experimental in Ubuntu | 11:36 |
| syockit | chiiiiiiz, therefore might be difficult to get support | 11:36 |

| crazybrain | how to connect phone through USB in Ubuntu 10.10 | 11:39 |
| boomboorum1 | Hi everybody | 11:39 |
| crazybrain | Its not detecting my phone | 11:39 |
| chiiiiiiz | syockit: gnome3 on ubuntu natty... in fact, I want to change some font size in the css, but I do not know where to look for in the gnome-shell.css file... too many sections | 11:40 |

| Samo502 | gotta verify something really quick, if i upgrade my windows partition(vista) to 7, it'll screw up grub? yes/no? | 11:40 |
| Kizza | how do i run this file jre-6u25-linux-i586.bin | 11:40 |
| Samo502 | Kizza: i just installed mine via software center :O but to answer your question you can just run it from the terminal | 11:42 |
| Samo502 | i believe | 11:42 |
| DX099 | kizza, terminal "chmod +x jre..." then "./jre.." | 11:42 |
| syockit | Kizza, did you download from Oracle? Have you tried out the ones provided by Canonical partners first? | 11:42 |

| boomboorum1 | My system once in a while (like 2 -3 times a day) just starts over using my memory and swap to almost 2 GB. It starts suddenly and goes for like about 5 minutes. Then Releases the memory and everything starts working fine. System monitor does not show that there is much stuff being used by programs. But it shows that IOWait is used 100%. (thanks in advance) | 11:43 |
| Kizza | i installed it via the java website | 11:43 |
| DX099 | kizza, my opinion if you're new to linux, you should just keep yourself to synaptic or apt-get | 11:43 |
| boomboorum1 | (PS. I am using ubuntu 11.04 - gnome ) | 11:43 |
| === chiiiiiiz is now known as chiz | ||
| === johnmatta is now known as JoKeS | ||
| Kizza | so apt-get java..... | 11:43 |

| Da|Mummy | why the other ones havent mounted automatically when i reboot is beyond me | 12:03 |
| LetsGo67 | tsimpson: My computers didn't 169 until Ubuntu 11.04! | 12:03 |
| Samo502 | Da|Mummy: they aren't set to mount on boot probably | 12:03 |
| Da|Mummy | sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/500gb <--right command? | 12:03 |
| beli | Da|Mummy: depends...but maybe | 12:03 |
| maxi__ | anyone aving any experience with virtual box under ubuntu? i want to instal xp with it | 12:04 |
| tsimpson | LetsGo67: it does, avail will allow you to publish resources over the local network without static IPs or a DHCP server, but if you want something more, you need more configuration | 12:04 |
| Da|Mummy | ok so what did i just do to not have them set to mount on boot? they were earlier | 12:04 |
| beli | Da|Mummy: is the mount working on terminal? | 12:04 |
| LetsGo67 | tsimpson: i have an Android. Internet works on Ubuntu and Android. i have an iMac. Internet doesn't work on iMac. It says 169. What do i do? It worked in 10.10 and below! | 12:04 |

| Da|Mummy | grr | 12:05 |
| Da|Mummy | sorry made a mistake... | 12:05 |
| LetsGo67 | tsimpson: It's a direct cable between the Ubuntu laptop and the iMac. | 12:05 |
| beli | so create the mountpoint before | 12:05 |
| tsimpson | LetsGo67: then you need to share the internet connection | 12:06 |
| Da|Mummy | ok still not working | 12:06 |
| beli | Da|Mummy: shall we guess the error output? | 12:06 |
| LetsGo67 | tsimpson: Smartphone <---> Ubuntu <---> iMac | 12:06 |
| LetsGo67 | What do i do? | 12:06 |
| Da|Mummy | mount: mount point /media/500gb does not exist | 12:06 |
| tsimpson | LetsGo67: you share the connection from ubuntu to with the mac | 12:06 |
| LetsGo67 | Do i check the box "available to all users"? | 12:06 |
| Da|Mummy | thats all im getting | 12:06 |
| beli | Da|Mummy: sudo mkdir /media/500gb | 12:07 |
| LetsGo67 | tsimpson: Yeah. There's an Ethernet connection from Android to Ubuntu. Then there's another Ethernet connection (Shared with other computers) from Ubuntu to iMac. The iMac says 169. What do i do? | 12:07 |
| Da|Mummy | mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 12:07 |

| alphamale | i.e. can you partition a large drive into x bootable virtual drives? | 12:08 |
| beli | Da|Mummy: ok, do you know the fstype you are using for that partition? | 12:08 |
| lolzer | i wondered if any1 would know how to make a local server from where i can upgrade | 12:08 |
| tsimpson | LetsGo67: so your ubuntu system has 3 network interfaces? | 12:08 |
| Da|Mummy | im almost sure its ntfs | 12:08 |
| lgp171188 | alphamale: Each hard drive has one master boot record and the partitions in the drive can have one volume boot record of their own. You can search the web for these terms and read more | 12:08 |
| gedO | jrib: what is relevant data? | 12:08 |
| LetsGo67 | tsimpson: two. One is Android, the other is iMac. | 12:08 |
| alphamale | ok thx | 12:08 |
| beli | Da|Mummy: so make sure your kernel supports ntfs | 12:09 |
| tsimpson | LetsGo67: then how does the ubuntu system connect to the internet? | 12:09 |
| LetsGo67 | tsimpson: With the smartphone. | 12:09 |

| Draco_ | hi! I've noticed something odd: I played a video on ubuntu, with VLC, and it plays very slow ( like, bolt action, not sure how to translate it, I'm not a native eng speaker ), while the same video with the same software ( VLC ) plays well ( mostly ) on WinXp .... I kinda expected it to go faster on ubuntu, or at least at the same speed, is something wrong? for instance, the video goes slow because there cpu isn't fast enought, the vid | 12:10 |
| FrankJameso | if you have one that is mounted ntfs then that's not the problem, but there should be an ntfs3g package you can install (it's not at kernel level but it gives you ntfs compatibility) | 12:10 |
| tsimpson | LetsGo67: then you need follow the internet connection sharing guide to share the connection to the smart phone from the ubuntu system with the mac | 12:10 |
| Da|Mummy | whats command in termianl to get this package? | 12:11 |
| LetsGo67 | tsimpson: but i did! It wasn't an issue until 11.04 | 12:11 |
| beli | Da|Mummy: right, if another one is mounted with ntfs your kernel supports ntfs. | 12:11 |
| dagon666 | Draco_: probably an issue of your video aperture, check glxinfo | grep -i direct | 12:11 |
| FrankJameso | Draco : does verything play slowly or just that one video? | 12:11 |
| tsimpson | LetsGo67: no version of ubuntu ever automatically bridged interfaces, you have to set that up yourself | 12:12 |
| wealth | hi | 12:12 |
| Draco_ | FrankJameso, just that one ( it's the only highQ video I have, I think ) | 12:12 |
| zamba | how can i get mplayer to play on a secondary screen automatically? | 12:12 |
| beli | Da|Mummy: learn to use apt tools....google for it, read the manuals | 12:12 |
| LetsGo67 | tsimpson: my Ubuntu computer has 10.*.*.*! | 12:13 |
| Da|Mummy | ya i really need to familiarize myself with terminal | 12:13 |
| FrankJameso | Draco_, check your graphics drivers, in 11.04 you can use the start button, and then just type in drivers to get to the additional drivers option | 12:13 |
| Draco_ | dagon666, where I'm supposed to write that line? it doesn't work in console ( command not found ) | 12:13 |
| Da|Mummy | but right now i really need this dirve to mount like it was in maverick... | 12:13 |
| dagon666 | Draco_: apt-get install glxinfo | 12:13 |
| tsimpson | LetsGo67: 10.* didn't do it either, you're basically setting up your ubuntu system as a router. that's not automatic | 12:13 |
| beli | zamba: mplayer -xineramascreen 1 | 12:13 |
| Da|Mummy | but i do see that i have ntfs-3g installed | 12:14 |
| Samo502 | tsimpson: so he's going ad-hoc? | 12:14 |
| Draco_ | FrankJameso, I'm using the opensource drivers, video card is legacy and no longer supported ( Radeon 9600 Pro 256mb ddr ) | 12:14 |
| LetsGo67 | tsimpson: What should i do? | 12:14 |
| Draco_ | FrankJameso, I've been strongly advised to do not install the propetary drivers ... and I don't know how to do that anyway | 12:15 |
| FrankJameso | Da|Mummy, you need to know the name of the usb drive itself ( usually something like /dev/??? (3 letters), type in dmesg to see if you can find it's name. Then, you probably just have to make a directory, and type in sudo mount /dev/??? (need to find 3 letters) /address/to/mountpoint | 12:15 |
| Samo502 | LetsGo67: so you're trying to set up ubuntu as a router of sorts? | 12:15 |
| zamba | beli: thanks! :) | 12:15 |
| tsimpson | Samo502: he's connecting his phone (which has the internet connection) to his ubuntu PC, and his ubuntu PC to an iMac. and expecting the imac to automatically pick up the internet connection from the phone | 12:15 |

| Draco_ | dagon666, done, but I still get a "command not found" | 12:15 |
| FrankJameso | Draco I see, then I'm not sure how to help you | 12:15 |

| FrankJameso | Da|Mummy I guess you could use dmesg | grep /dev | 12:16 |
| Da|Mummy | sorry my mistake, it was sda couple reboots ago | 12:16 |

| DirtyDawg | quick question, i have 10.10 installed as 11.04 install is so dim i cant see hardly anything (and yes, laptop is plugged in :p ) when "support" stops, does that mean that the packages etc wont update any longer ? | 12:17 |
| Draco_ | FrankJameso, I tought maybe there is some process that's eating up too much cpu, that might explain it | 12:17 |
| alphamale | is it possible to post pastebin scripts here | 12:17 |
| beli | Da|Mummy: retry all the stuff with sda1 then | 12:17 |
| tsimpson | Samo502: in short yeah, but he hasn't done anything on the ubuntu system to share connection | 12:17 |
| alphamale | will anyone look at them | 12:17 |
| Da|Mummy | beli, i did, no go | 12:17 |
| beli | Da|Mummy: and check about the partitioning of sda with cfdisk /dev/sda | 12:17 |
| Samo502 | tsimpson: yeah he has to set up a connection bridge | 12:18 |
| Da|Mummy | its sdc now | 12:18 |

| Samo502 | tsimpson: unfortunately i've only done ICS on windows | 12:18 |
| FrankJameso | Draco_ I would really assume it's the driver, but try installing htop from the terminal, and then running it through the terminal while playing the video to see how much cpu it eats | 12:18 |

| Samo502 | be right back guys | 12:21 |
| FrankJameso | Draco_ that seems a bit excessive, but the two options I see really are either trying with a different video card driver, or with a different codec. There's not much else I could suggest aside from compiling vlc from source, which is a bit complex | 12:21 |

| pr0ton | is there any easy way to share installation files (.deb)... i know they're stored in cache | 13:05 |
| Holdkjeft | linaro bug # 771900 basically there's a switch statement optimization that causes the compiler to crash. Can't compile gst-ffmpeg because of it | 13:05 |
| pr0ton | is there anything else that people use? | 13:05 |

| nibbler_ | erix, i dont think this does any more then creating the symlink for you, so do as you wish :) | 13:17 |

| p0s | hi. i made a fresh install of natty (amd64, setup over PXE). it randomly does not boot (with a failure rate of >90%), instead it drops into a purple screen. after adding "nosplash" and removing "quiet" from the kernel command line i was able to see that it drops into an initramfs shell, the purple splashscreen probably hides this. further, adding the "nosplash" option to the kernel command line via the grub menu is also difficult, because grub randomly | 13:24 |
| p0s | dies with "alloc magic is broken at 0x3fdb7230" then (failure rate also >90%). the value of 0x3fdb7230 is always the same and there are zero google results for it. i would like to trace the problems down if someone is here who can help me with it & then file the bugtracker entries. | 13:25 |

| moriramar | good, my empathy freezed... | 13:41 |
| jacobt | what d | 13:42 |
| moriramar | Excuse me, I have a problem using gpg with LUKS in my Ubuntu 10.10 LiveUSB. command : gpg -d go.gpg | cryptsetup luksFormat -c aes-xts-plain -s 512 /dev/sda1. | 13:42 |
| jacobt | moriramar: what do you mean ask directly? | 13:42 |
| bencc | isn't it possible to create a group and a user with the same name? "/usr/sbin/groupadd demo" and "/usr/sbin/adduser demo" gives me "The group 'demo' already exists' | 13:42 |
| moriramar | jacobt: forget it. the irc client freezed and it delayed. | 13:43 |
| jacobt | ok | 13:43 |
| fasp | I'm trying to understand the output of "dmesg" (after modprobe evbug). what do type, code and value stand for? | 13:43 |
| moriramar | bencc: when you create a user, a group named after the user's name is already created, iirc. | 13:44 |
| schnuffle | bencc: normally a new user gets a group with the same name | 13:44 |
| rob_p | bencc: You can view the current list of groups on your system by doing, "ls /etc/group" If that group is found in the list, then it already exists! :) | 13:44 |
| jacobt | i have no 3d support and unity won't work it defaultsback to normal desktop setting | 13:44 |
| bencc | moriramar: so I should delete the group first? | 13:45 |
| rob_p | bencc: I meant, "cat /etc/group" | 13:45 |
| matthias_ | when I just updated ubuntu, I got arnings like cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/sda1 | 13:46 |
| moriramar | bencc: i am not sure whether you want to do that. what do you want to do? | 13:46 |
| bencc | rob_p: I've created the group so I know it is there | 13:46 |
| matthias_ | any ideas aboutthese warnings? is that something serious? | 13:46 |
| erix | I disable(with a2dissite default) default site under sites-avaiable and then I enabled mysite with a2ensite mysite. but I got an error which is Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mysite. Whats wrong ? | 13:46 |
| rob_p | bencc: So then why remove it? What are you trying to do? | 13:46 |
| bencc | moriramar: I want to create a user demo which belongs to a group demo that can use sudo | 13:46 |
| moriramar | matthias_: i experienced that also, but nothing serious happened. i guess it does not matter. | 13:46 |
| schnuffle | erix: try apachectl configtest to see errors | 13:47 |
| matthias_ | moriramar: ok, thanks | 13:47 |
| Oppe | I am not sure if it's the correct please to ask, but I have an ubuntu server.. which is accessable from everywhere (both http and ssh).. however a specific application we made under tomcat is only accessable inside the university's network (need vpn to see it).. any clue what could be the reason? | 13:47 |
| user_ | arula | 13:47 |
| user_ | user | 13:47 |
| erix | Yep I did and it produces above error | 13:47 |
| moriramar | bencc, so just write the entry in your /etc/sudoers. no need to remove the group. | 13:47 |
| user_ | users | 13:47 |
| schnuffle | Oppe: apache rules or iptables | 13:47 |
| bencc | moriramar: but I can't create the user | 13:47 |
| erix | Servername takes one parameter | 13:47 |
| moriramar | bencc: you have created that user. | 13:47 |
| bencc | moriramar: at least not with /usr/sbin/adduser | 13:48 |
| moriramar | bencc: cat /etc/shadow to check that. | 13:48 |

| ttry | after installing windows, and after messing up trying to reinstall grub, i cant load any OS now, it only boots to grub terminal | 13:51 |
| rob_p | bencc: If you manually added the group before using the useradd command, that would be why it's failing to create the new user account. As long as no other accounts are members of that group, it would be safe to remove. Then you can create the new user account, which will automatically create the group. | 13:51 |
| Al-Bawi | Dr_Willis: i cant play my music | 13:51 |
| bencc | moriramar: shouldn't it create the home dir for the user by default? | 13:51 |
| schnuffle | Oppe: does the server has more then one network card? | 13:51 |
| Itqan | ubuntu 9.04 worked good for me | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | !sound | Al-Bawi | 13:52 |
| ubottu | Al-Bawi: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 13:52 |

| schnuffle | ? | 13:54 |
| rob_p | moriramar: It's *much* easier to use adduser instead of useradd, otherwise you have to manually specify things like groups, shell, home dir, etc. | 13:54 |
| erix | this is the error = "ServerName takes one argument, The hostname and port of the server" | 13:55 |

| schnuffle | AvnHmnd: to change into that directory you do a cd <name of the directory> | 13:56 |

| r4y | I haven't tried but konversation and Chatzilla | 13:56 |
| cfy | hi all,does someone run lispworks on ubuntu ? | 13:57 |
| moriramar | rob_p: for me the same, at least it does not bite me. :) | 13:57 |
| rob_p | bencc: Because useradd is a low-level utility designed for scripting, etc. See the manpage for details (man useradd) and you'll see that useradd's manpage encourages the use of adduser for adding new users. | 13:57 |
| qin | bencc: adduser is more Debian, than oldish useradd | 13:57 |

| cutiyar_ | Dr_Willis, how? | 14:14 |
| r4y | There is a way to download Ubuntu through torrent | 14:14 |

| beli | rgb247: egrep -ir * pattern | 14:17 |
| Dr_Willis | cutiyar_: ask the channel. not me speficically. I dont do wireless. I think the lspci command shows the cards. | 14:17 |
| Seamless | I just tried the last solution I have found and it didn't work. =( | 14:18 |
| moustafa | F-3000: I'll see what I can do, but I already have most of my hands full. | 14:18 |
| cutiyar_ | Dr_Willis, | 14:18 |
| schnuffle | rgb247: paste the comand you used | 14:18 |
| beli | rgb247: executed in the dir with your script files | 14:18 |

| eto-remote | anybody? | 14:18 |
| cutiyar_ | my wireless not showwwn | 14:18 |
| Seamless | Plus I cannot go past the fatal error message and am forced to abort the installation. | 14:18 |
| moustafa | F-3000: If you separated the root (/) from /home, you could try a reinstall of Ubuntu and see how that goes. | 14:18 |
| rgb247 | find /avsvideo -name "*.php" -exec grep -Hn "$mails_count" {} | 14:19 |
| Dr_Willis | cutiyar_: Be more clear in what you are saying to the channel also.. You mean its not shown by 'lspci' or what excactluy/ | 14:19 |
| rgb247 | beli: no such file or directory | 14:19 |
| Seamless | Anyway, everybody seems busy right now and I am between two classes so I guess I'll come back later | 14:19 |
| schnuffle | rgb247: you missed the \; at the end | 14:19 |
| rgb247 | beli: this is my command: egrep -ir *.php "$mails_count" | 14:19 |
| cutiyar_ | Dr_Willis, its now showing available wireless | 14:19 |
| schnuffle | rgb247: so your command should be: find /avsvideo -name "*.php" -exec grep -Hn "$mails_count" {} \; | 14:19 |

| schnuffle | rgb247: okay I'm out beli is your man | 14:21 |
| Dr_Willis | atdprhs: windows is saying a device is inaccessable? or is it grub saying that? | 14:22 |
| cutiyar_ | available wireless does not shown after erseing | 14:22 |
| moustafa | F-3000: That's tricky. If only one part is being badly read, I could look up a guide on how to fix the badblock | 14:22 |

| MonkeyDust | beli: I was right, after all, thumbs up | 14:22 |
| mathews | takamarou: stck here somebody answer u | 14:22 |
| atdprhs | not the grub Dr_Willis | 14:22 |
| beli | MonkeyDust: he just wanted to know IN what files the text is, not what the text is....my solution was therefore | 14:23 |

How can I get that grub menu to show up? | 14:23 |
| Dr_Willis | atdprhs: if windows iteslf is having the issues. then you may need to check in #windows for a proper way to fix it. | 14:23 |
| alex6567 | oh my god ext2! | 14:23 |
| mathews | repeat ur qstn | 14:23 |
| atdprhs | but that happened after I installed Ubuntu!!! | 14:23 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: sda1 = ntfs, sda2 = ext4, sda3 = swap, sda4 = ntfs | 14:23 |
| atdprhs | Windows was working before Ubuntu Installation | 14:23 |
| Dr_Willis | cutiyar_: you have a --> 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) | 14:23 |
| mathews | takamarou: repeat ur qstn and put same or search in www.askubuntu.com | 14:24 |
| Dr_Willis | cutiyar_: some broadcom cards are problematic. I seem to recall seeing that # card mentioned in here a lot. | 14:24 |
| cutiyar_ | Dr_Willis, what i have to do? | 14:24 |
| takamarou | mathews, already repeated it :) | 14:24 |
| qin | atdprhs: Where did you put boot flag, also, did you resized partition? | 14:24 |
| beli | rgb247: another methode to do what you needed is to use find and xargs command...very powerful combination | 14:24 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: sda1 got Windows (45Gb), sda2 got Ubuntu (20Gb), sda4 got "shared data" (90Gb). | 14:24 |
| Dr_Willis | cutiyar_: no idea. I would check the forums and the 'askubuntu' web site and search for that specific chipset 'bcm4312 LP-PHY' | 14:24 |
| mathews | takamarou: grub menu should show when the left shift key press and hold when booting | 14:24 |
| ugliefrog | is there a panel reset command | 14:24 |
| qin | !resetpanel | 14:25 |
| Dr_Willis | ugliefrog: yes there is.. let me get a url of them | 14:25 |
| ubottu | To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 14:25 |
| cutiyar_ | Dr_Willis, ok thanks | 14:25 |
| moustafa | F-3000: Ok. If you try to run fsck on each individual partition, can you tell me which one is failing? | 14:25 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html | 14:25 |

| F-3000 | moustafa: shall do. | 14:25 |
| nicola | in informatics? | 14:25 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont think that !resetpanel factoid works in unity.. | 14:25 |
| takamarou | mathews, left shift key... wonder if that was my problem. BTW, is it possible to turn that off, and default to grub menu? Or is that BIOS based? | 14:25 |
| talntid2 | Can someone help me test my fail2ban configuration? All I need you to do, is try to connect to my server and give it some bad login credentials about 5 times. the hostname is: SpokanePCRepair.com. Just SSH to it | 14:25 |

| mathews | takamarou: there are some option but take care when u do it.I think better put ur query in www.askubuntu.com | 14:28 |
| takamarou | mathews, OK. Thanks. I may have installed Ubuntu in single OS mode, which would explain my grub problem. I'll try a reload. | 14:29 |

| mathews | gidorah: u installed along with windows | 14:32 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: Well, now this is interesting. I cannot reproduce the error anymore - Ubuntu booted. | 14:33 |
| jacobt | qin it says no propriatary drivers are used in this system | 14:34 |
| gidorah | mathews: yes | 14:34 |
| qin | jacobt: Well, latest open source can give you some acceleration, you need to do a bit of research. | 14:35 |
| jacobt | qin i also don't apear to have an active xorg.conf | 14:35 |
| moustafa | F-3000: Go figure. | 14:35 |
| twobitsprite | I recetly got a USB wifi adapter for my desktop, but the only instructions I can find on getting it working is a forum post on fedora forums which requires downloading the driver source and hacking it to work with my adapter | 14:35 |
| mathews | gidorah: there might problem with the boot loader | 14:35 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: I'd guess that fsck repaired the problem. | 14:35 |
| schnuffle | jacobt: X generates it on the fly now | 14:35 |
| twobitsprite | it's a Linksys AE1000 adapter... anyone have any idea is there's a better way to get this working? | 14:36 |
| moustafa | F-3000: But check your hard drive. Especially if it's a Seagate. They've been unreliable for the past few years now | 14:36 |
| jacobt | schnuffle ok thanks | 14:36 |
| qin | jacobt: xorg.conf is not required, but you can make one. | 14:36 |
| schnuffle | jacobt: you only need one if you want to have some speical settings | 14:36 |
| moustafa | F-3000: It's a good thing you backed up as soon as you could, otherwise, you could have found yourself dealing with massive headaches | 14:36 |
| nemo | heh. my poor mom, who has been using ubuntu happily for 4 years... | 14:36 |
| nemo | I told her not to upgrade to 11.04 | 14:36 |
| jacobt | schnuffle i want any sort of 3d i have no support i can't run unity or anything | 14:37 |
| nemo | but the big notice tricked her, and she did it on her own | 14:37 |
| nemo | "we've decided we don't like ubuntu 11.4 or whatever the new one is can you help us change it back?" | 14:37 |
| mathews | nemo: whats the problem | 14:37 |
| nemo | "find it counter intuitive and don't like huge icon" | 14:37 |
| gidorah | mathews: how will i know that? | 14:37 |
| nemo | so. told her to log in as "gnome classic" | 14:37 |
| moustafa | nemo: 11.04 isn't perfect, but it's pretty good once you get used to the changes | 14:37 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: You suggested it, so I did so. Our cooperation at yesterday ended to there. | 14:37 |
| jacobt | qin is part of my problem im running ubuntu as a virtual machine? | 14:37 |
| mathews | gidorah: just search with some key words in www.askubuntu.com | 14:38 |
| nemo | moustafa: there are sooo many things w/ unity that irritate me, but luckily there is still gnome classic. but for people like my mom, that isn't obvious at all, so they are just flailing wildly | 14:38 |
| moustafa | F-3000: Believe me, I had to deal with a similar problem. Except that I didn't have much in terms of backups. 1TB drive stopped working right | 14:38 |
| === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 | ||
| nemo | moustafa: I've listed all the things I dislike about unity in the bug though, so I won't go back over 'em here | 14:38 |
| nemo | I was just amused by her response to it, I warned her not to upgrade but hadn't told her why. | 14:39 |
| moustafa | nemo: I guess it's a good thing she doesn't use Fedora, who is going to GNOME 3, while Unity 2D will be the default fallback in 11.10. Bye bye GNOME 2 | 14:39 |
| nemo | moustafa: naw. I'll move her to xfce4 then | 14:39 |

| mathews | andygraybeal: it is built in with unity.I dont know more but may be | 14:47 |
| schnuffle | nicola: the problem is that the acpi support doesn't follow the standard but fixes window problems | 14:47 |
| andygraybeal | okay, thank you | 14:47 |
| nicola | @mathews the acpi is a support that control the energy of the computer | 14:48 |

| sss314 | How does Ubuntu know the encoding of a text file? | 14:48 |
| ben42 | ubuntu 10.10 | 14:48 |
| jacobt | is it better to run ubuntu in a vm or should i do a duel boot w/ windows xp? | 14:49 |
| Sik | sss314: it examines the text and looks for common patterns | 14:49 |
| axisys | mathews: so w/o installing docky I cannout move the unity bar to the bottom? | 14:49 |
| Sik | Now, two questions I need help with: 1) How do I check that GLX is installed properly 2) How do I convince X to load the GLX module... Because it's failing to do so | 14:49 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: Thanks for all you've done. :) | 14:49 |
| mathews | axisys: u put this comment in launchpad | 14:49 |

| P05TMAN | How can I use my wimax in Ubuntu 11.04? I have a Dell inspiron n5010 with WiMax installed stock. The intel WiMax 6050 is visible but shown as off on the top task bar but there is no way to turn it on. I have windows on the laptop also and tried turning the feature on/off there...it works well. I'll leave the Wi | 14:50 |
| axisys | mathews: are you saying to ask this question in launchpad ? | 14:50 |
| schnuffle | sss314: you can use file --mime-type <file> to get the encoding | 14:50 |
| mathews | axisys: they may put an update for the next time | 14:50 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: I feel a bit ashamed to ask if you could assist me with another issue (which is "just" about log flood)? | 14:50 |
| axisys | mathews: gotcha | 14:51 |
| axisys | mathews: let me ask it in #ayatana as well | 14:51 |
| P05TMAN | Sorry...I'll leave the WiMax on then boot to ubuntu but no go. Any ideas? | 14:51 |
| moustafa | F-3000: Log flood? | 14:51 |
| chalet16 | I'm unable to use xrandr to rotate left or right in Ubuntu 11.04. (already set RandRRotation in xorg.conf), any workaround? | 14:51 |
| schnuffle | sss314: and it uses magic to determine the encoding see: man magic | 14:51 |

| shomon | hmm, I was just copying stuff to a pen drive, to transfer to a windows computer. It didn't copy properly, and now when I try and copy things, I get "read only file system" errors. This is ubuntu 10.10. Is there a way to fix it or mount it properly? | 14:54 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: messages-log gets flooded with stuff related to ata3. About 8 lines once per 6 seconds. Messages-file may easily become over 10Mb in size. | 14:54 |

| moustafa | F-3000: What kind of stuff? ata3 points to the hard drive | 14:55 |
| mathews | shomon: that drive might be password protected | 14:55 |
| einseenai | guys, if i upgrade from mmaverick now, will it brake my gnome? | 14:55 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: I think ata3 is DVD, yet I could be wrong. | 14:56 |
| random-ae | einseenai, yes, type 'sudo su' and 'rm -rf /*' | 14:56 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: http://paste.ubuntu.com/604099/ | 14:56 |
| sipior | random-ae: don't be a doorknob, if you can possibly help it. | 14:56 |
| shomon | yes, but I didn't do anything to make it that way mathews ... | 14:56 |

| einseenai | edbian, thank ya | 14:57 |
| botcity | shomon: its a common error with some usb devices i had to reformat one to reset the permissions | 14:57 |
| einseenai | edbian, i probably switch to xubuntu then ))) | 14:58 |
| jwtiyar | Dr_Willis, thanks | 14:58 |
| shomon | yes, it mounts, and until about 5 minutes ago, I was copying stuff to it | 14:58 |
| shomon | botcity, is reformatting the only solution? | 14:58 |
| jwtiyar | Dr_Willis, just enabled sta wireless and fixed | 14:58 |
| moustafa | F-3000: I'm not quite sure what log is saying. It may be that there's a bad connection, but it could also be related to the boot issue you experienced. | 14:58 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: When I installed 9.04, I found out that if I inserted Ubuntu liveCD, I was constantly asked how to react to it - until I took the disk out. | 14:58 |
| LetsGo67 | Hello again! i find "LibreOffice Word/Calc/Impress" to take too much room in the Launcher. Can i combine them into one item, "LibreOffice"? | 14:58 |
| edbian | einseenai: If you upgrade to 11.04 (natty) you will by default be using unity but gnome 2.whatever will be available at the log in menu. | 14:59 |
| === root is now known as Guest76852 | ||
| moustafa | F-3000: If you get another hard drive, you could easily clone your hard drive to the new one using Clonezilla, that may end the log flooding | 14:59 |
| moustafa | F-3000: What do you mean "how to react to it"? | 14:59 |
| shomon | sorry mathews I copied to it, and it is mounted. permissions are my user, but set to "read only" and I can't change them even as root | 14:59 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: You know the "do you want to open package manager?" question that Ubuntu asks when you throw in livecd? | 15:00 |
| mathews | shomon: make sure the file system is NTFS and not FAT | 15:00 |
| P05TMAN | Sorry lost connection....any suggestions on the WiMax issue? | 15:00 |
| moustafa | F-3000: That's normal. It IS another source for obtaining packages | 15:01 |
| shomon | mathews, how do I check the file system? | 15:01 |
| mathews | shomon: right click and take properties | 15:01 |
| shomon | ok thanks just trying that... | 15:01 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: I know it is normal that ubuntu asks the question, but when you get the question repeatedly, regardless what you choose, is not normal in my opinion. :) | 15:01 |
| nyuszika7h | Hi! I've just installed Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), and when I boot my computer, I don't see any bootloader, Windows starts, just if Ubuntu wouldn't be there. | 15:02 |
| === f0rfr33 is now known as I_Learning_I | ||
| edbian | nyuszika7h: Do you have more than one hdd ? | 15:02 |
| shomon | I don't know where to look in properties mathews but it may be "folder (inode/directory)" | 15:02 |
| moustafa | F-3000: That depends on whether you say yes, or no, I guess | 15:02 |
| BlueEagle | nyuszika7h: Are you running any form for raid? | 15:03 |
| === nomike_ is now known as nomike | ||
| nyuszika7h | edbian: No. | 15:03 |
| shomon | mathews, ah, it says msdos | 15:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. nyuszika7h you try tapping the shift key as it boots? someone in here earlier had grub hidden for some reason. Shift at the right time is suposed to unhide grub and show the menu | 15:03 |
| nyuszika7h | BlueEagle: No, my HDD is SATA. | 15:03 |
| nyuszika7h | Dr_Willis: Thanks, will try that. | 15:03 |
| mathews | shomon: just pin it in usb port and right click on the drive icon | 15:03 |
| shomon | it's in the usb and mounted, and I right clicked, it says msdos | 15:04 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: Imagine this situation. You instert livecd. You get the question, you choose cancel. Few seconds the question reappears, even you didn't do ANYTHING. Same goes on, until you take the cd out. | 15:04 |
| nyuszika7h | ^ lol | 15:04 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: That led me into assumption that the ata3 is DVDrom. | 15:04 |
| Dr_Willis | F-3000: i had an issue the opther day similer to that with flash drives.. but the problem has seem to vanished now | 15:04 |
| shomon | hmm, is there a way to force-mount a usb drive as read write? | 15:05 |
| edbian | nyuszika7h: If shift pressing doesn't work you probably wanna follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 15:05 |
| F-3000 | Dr_Willis: Yep, that behavior vanished eventually. | 15:05 |
| botcity | shomon: from what i understand it only happens with some usb devices and was to be fixed. but I just used the wipe function from the usb startup creator, fixed it but not perfect I know. | 15:05 |
| moustafa | F-3000: Then I guess you presume right. Again: this may be possibly due to a faulty connection. If you feel like opening up the laptop and fiddling inside, it's pretty much up to you. Otherwise, look for a (preferably trustworthy) repair shop or send it to the manufacturer | 15:05 |
| mathews | shomon: so ok. then if the data is safe with u in ur pc then format and try once more | 15:06 |
| Dr_Willis | shomon: theres options to the ntfs-3g stuff to let you mount filesystems owned by specific users. see if root can write to the drive in question. If so. then its a mount issue/option you need | 15:06 |

My mother is getting a "sucky" Asus EEE laptop that's old and it only has 4 gigs of built-in storage so Windows XP and Ubuntu are both a no go.

Now I've heard of Xubuntu and Lubuntu, but Lubuntu's website didn't show any disk space usage estimations in the "System requirements" section. I tried googleing without results. Xubuntu should take around 2Gigs I presume, but Lubuntu's LXDE is lighter, I've heard. Any suggestions?! | 15:07 |

| nyuszika7h | Another question: I have FreeDOS (preinstalled) on the beginning of my HDD (System, Active, Primary). Next to it, there's Windows 7 (Boot, Swap, Memory Dump, Primary). Ubuntu recognizes that I have FreeDOS installed - that's correct, but currently, it's not accessible in any way, Windows starts when I boot my computer. I can't uninstall FreeDOS, since it's the system partition and I don't want to reformat my entire hard drive. So, is there an | 15:08 |

| edbian | nyuszika7h: What other entries are in there? Can you not boot Ubuntu or windows with any other entry? | 15:09 |

| Samo502 | has anyone here upgraded a windows OS with linux also on their disk? | 15:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Samo502: windows might replace/rewriute the bootloader. and require You to reinsatll grub to the mbr. is proberly the worse thing that can happen | 15:11 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: How I can see info about the devices (especially ATA)? I'd like to *ensure* that the ata3 is the optical. | 15:11 |

| magicka | @rumpel helloo | 15:25 |
| beli | semperos: using bash you can also use the refresh command | 15:25 |
| Dr_Willis | beli: i was thinking it was hash. or rehash. :) but maybey it was refresh. | 15:26 |

| magicka | My wireless | 15:27 |

| magicka | and now whenever i press it it wont re enable i | 15:27 |
| magicka | t | 15:27 |
| vooze | mathews: i mean.. i want a shortcut/icon to show the dekstop, and all there is in the desktop, like there was an icon for that in gnome, and even windows | 15:27 |
| needhelp | I bet it's documentation isn't that great either :O So yea... I'll check a few vids of xubuntu and lubuntu from youtube. Darn I'd wish to know the installation size of Lubuntu though... I can't believe the developers didn't know either. I know it varies if you install less or more, but still... atleast a hint. | 15:27 |
| magicka | it works fine on my windows just my ubuntu wireless is fked | 15:28 |

| mathews | magicka: u do one thing | 15:29 |
| mathews | magicka: u right click on the wireless applet on panel and check "enable wireless" | 15:29 |

| mathews | beli: the same I experienced earlier with 10.10 and after that I did a windows install to clear it | 15:31 |
| ner0x | And Unity? Not a fan either. Hopefully they fix everything they broke soon. | 15:31 |
| nyuszika7h | edward__, Dr_Willis: Currently, GRUB doesn't even show up, but the installer still recognized I have FreeDOS on my computer, so when I get GRUB to show up, possibly FreeDOS will show up as the entry name, not Windows. Earlier, when I installed Maverick, I had Ubuntu, Ubuntu (recovery) and FreeDOS. The first two are obvious, the third boots Windows. | 15:31 |
| beli | mathews: windows is using native drivers for acpi handling | 15:32 |
| beli | mathews: thats why it works there | 15:32 |
| needhelp | Okay.... Thanks for the clarification, Dr_Willis ! : ) I knew it was lighter, but the required disk space doesn't mean the same thing. Speed and running background apps don't always correspond to the file sizes | 15:32 |
| needhelp | :S | 15:32 |
| F-3000 | beli: http://paste.ubuntu.com/604099/ "messages"-log file gets flooded with this (new 8 lines every 6 seconds). I'm trying to figure out which device (hd, dvd) it is. | 15:32 |
| Dr_Willis | needhelp: i have to wonder how they got 4gb in that eee also. If its an IDE-CF adaptor - you can get bigger CF cards. | 15:33 |
| nyuszika7h | edward__, Dr_Willis: I have FreeDOS on my computer because it was preinstalled, and I forgot to remove it when I installed Windows. I don't want to reformat my entire hard drive because of this. | 15:33 |
| needhelp | One problem is that I don't think I have a 4GB memory stick and netbooks rarely have a cd-rom :S | 15:33 |
| Jacinator | Is there a way to have a taskbar on Ubuntu 11.04? | 15:33 |
| mathews | beli after that I never unchecked enable wireless | 15:33 |
| Dr_Willis | nyuszika7h: if freedos is on its own partition. I dont see why You cant just delete the freedos partition. | 15:33 |
| beli | mathews: same here :) | 15:33 |
| nyuszika7h | I'm curious, what would happen if I'd move Windows' partition before FreeDOS' one. | 15:33 |
| nyuszika7h | Dr_Willis: It's a system partition, and Windows' partition isn't. | 15:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Jacinator: you could use some of the various DOCKS in conjunction with Unity | 15:33 |
| Dr_Willis | nyuszika7h: I dont think the term system partition applies.. | 15:34 |
| Jacinator | Dr_Willis: What do you mean Docks? | 15:34 |
| Dr_Willis | the windows 7 boots from teh windows 'system' partition. | 15:34 |
| Dr_Willis | !dock | 15:34 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. | 15:34 |
| nyuszika7h | Dr_Willis: Yes it does, Disk Management shows FreeDOS' partition is marked as System. | 15:34 |
| sHOCkw8Ve | Has anyone here been able to get their wireless (RT2870) to work with Ubuntu 11.04? | 15:34 |
| Dr_Willis | nyuszika7h: I have to wonder if thats not actually the windows 7 'boot' partition . | 15:34 |
| nyuszika7h | Dr_Willis: No, that's not the boot partition. | 15:35 |
| Jacinator | Mr_Willis: Where do I find these Docks, and how do I install them? | 15:35 |
| nyuszika7h | If I mark the Windows 7 parition as active, though, it doesn't even boot. | 15:35 |

| Dr_Willis | Bagualas: theres a whitelist of what apps are allowed to appear in the tray. and some tweaks to allow other apps in that list as well. xchat has its icon-tray extension | 15:36 |
| Ian_Corne | This channel feels very crouwded | 15:36 |

| Bagualas | Dr_Willis, Ill take a look on that.. thanks man! | 15:37 |

| Jacinator | Dr_Willis & Mathews: Thank you very much, I have figured it out! | 15:38 |
| nyuszika7h | Dr_Willis: I ask again, is it possible to unmark the FreeDOS partition as system and mark the Windows partition as system? | 15:38 |
| sHOCkw8Ve | Has anyone here been able to get their wireless (especially the RT2870/Cisco AE1000) to work with Ubuntu 11.04? | 15:38 |
| Dr_Willis | nyuszika7h: if its possible from a live cd. Gparted can proberly do it. | 15:38 |
| F-3000 | beli: 2.6.31-23 | 15:38 |
| nyuszika7h | Dr_Willis: yeah, I have a gparted live CD | 15:38 |
| Dr_Willis | nyuszika7h: i dont recall there even being a system flag. | 15:38 |
| Dr_Willis | looking at my windows HD now with gparted. | 15:39 |
| P05TMAN | sHOCkw8Ve: Yes but im using linksys router | 15:39 |
| F-3000 | beli: It has done it always with 9.04. | 15:39 |
| nyuszika7h | there is, at least in Disk Management | 15:39 |
| Dr_Willis | nyuszika7h: you mean under ubuntu's disk management tool? or widnwos? | 15:39 |
| sHOCkw8Ve | I'm also using a linksys router | 15:39 |
| nyuszika7h | Dr_Willis: Windows | 15:39 |
| Dr_Willis | gparted takes like 10 min to scan all my HD's :) | 15:39 |
| sHOCkw8Ve | Mind telling me how you were able to get yours to work? | 15:40 |
| mathews | friends pls choose a short name as possible | 15:40 |
| Dr_Willis | there is no 'system' flag in gparted. theres a 'bootable' flag. | 15:40 |
| sHOCkw8Ve | I have not been very successful. | 15:40 |
| beli | F-3000: using what file system? have you done fs-checks? just to make sure....also i think of problems with the smart monitoring...maybe try to disable that in your bios just to try out....there were problems with that on older kernel versions....2.6.2x... | 15:40 |
| P05TMAN | sHOCkw8Ve: Is the wireless showing disabled or not even an option | 15:40 |
| Dr_Willis | nyuszika7h: perhaps the windows tools are calling 'bootable' the same as 'system' You might want to ask in #windows | 15:40 |
| sHOCkw8Ve | It's not coming up at all; however, when I run a command to list usb devices attached to the computer, it is listed there. | 15:41 |
| F-3000 | beli: ata3 is the optical drive, dmesg revealed that. | 15:41 |
| P05TMAN | sHOCkw8Ve: Is it just your home router you cant get connected to or is it any wireless network? | 15:42 |
| beli | F-3000: ata3 is your controller.... | 15:42 |

| P05TMAN | sHOCkw8Ve: So its a USB wireless adapter? | 15:42 |
| Dr_Willis | nyuszika7h: checking wikipedia right now also. it says -> A primary partition contains one file system. In DOS and earlier versions of Microsoft Windows systems, the system partition was required to be the first partition. | 15:43 |

| F-3000 | beli: ata1 is for HD. | 15:44 |

| Osmodivs | Hello. I was trying to have a nice splash screen in Ubuntu 11.04, and I downloaded and executed this .py file,http://pastebin.com/E0QLHUAe but now, everytime I login, it sends me to the GRUB menu, and then all I can see is text, wich is ok, but I do not want to enter the GRUB menu, it's just a waste of time, so, is there a way to reset this thing? | 16:09 |

| NewPosix | how do you download a package to you local filesystem , and pnly afterwards install it ? | 16:10 |
| mathews | wamicho: better u copy all ur files to a ext. HDD and do a clean install with 11.04 | 16:10 |
| mathews | NewPosix: u just give the settings in browser....edit then preferences | 16:11 |
| wamicho | mathews: anyway wont do it cant leave the LTS just wanted to have a unity experience if there is no way to do that iam not going for it ..!! | 16:12 |
| zulax | i had to reset my unity, now the keyboard shortcuts dont work | 16:12 |
| zulax | how to get the shortcuts working again? | 16:12 |
| Vhozard | so | 16:13 |
| dawn713 | Oh thank God | 16:13 |
| afrodeity | i have five entries for plymouth in sysv and none checked after natty upgrade, is this right? | 16:13 |
| Vhozard | anyone knows howto open a terminal and make it not quit after completing a command ? | 16:13 |
| dawn713 | I need help in the worst way | 16:13 |
| zulax | Vhozard, i would do something like open a text file with the terminal , like vi temp.txt | 16:13 |
| mathews | wamicho: thats better idea as 10.04 is better and get long support | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | dawn713, let's hope not ,.. best way is better :) | 16:14 |
| Vhozard | zulax, lol | 16:14 |
| mathews | wamicho: to me everything was better with 10.04 | 16:14 |

| dawn713 | It defaults to Ubuntu.... I need to get to windows cause my tax stuff is in Quickbooks. LOOOONNNGGG story short... the place I took my pc wont answer their phones | 16:15 |
| llutz | Vhozard: gnome-terminal. Navigate to Edit->Preferences. Click on the "Title and Command" tab. There's a spinbox labeled "when command exits", change it from "exit the terminal" to "hold the terminal open". | 16:15 |
| Vhozard | beli: gnome-terminal | 16:15 |
| Vhozard | did that | 16:15 |
| Vhozard | its shit | 16:15 |

| FloodBot1 | Vhozard: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:15 |
| Vhozard | try it | 16:15 |
| Vhozard | it will keep the terminal open, BUT it wont return to a type-able line | 16:16 |
| Vhozard | so I cant do anything, but close it | 16:16 |
| schnuffle | dawn713: so you want to keep both but windows as the default? | 16:16 |
| dawn713 | real shady outfit it seems after some searching on internet | 16:16 |
| beli | Vhozard: just for yourself? or a common solution? | 16:17 |

| llutz | Vhozard: write a feature-request, demand something like xterms "hold" or konsoles "noclose" | 16:18 |
| afrodeity | yeahconsole is better | 16:18 |
| afrodeity | you can leave it open forever | 16:18 |
| dawn713 | I don't know.... It goes by so fast I don't have time to read what it's doing | 16:18 |
| xsinick | Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" is gonna fix all the bugs and be better that 10.10 and they going back to gnome | 16:18 |
| Vhozard | llutz, that feature is requested like 5 million times already I bet | 16:18 |

| beli | Vhozard: you can also try something ugly like: gnome-terminal -x bash -c "fortune ;bash" | 16:19 |
| Vhozard | after the command exits, I cant type anything in it | 16:19 |
| Vhozard | beli, tried that already | 16:20 |
| Vhozard | also just quits | 16:20 |
| beli | Vhozard: you need to stay it open just to see the result or to get interactive on that terminal? | 16:20 |
| Vhozard | interactive | 16:20 |

| F-3000 | beli, moustafa: I've been speaking of 9.04 a lot, yet I just figured out I'm using 9.10. | 16:22 |
| funnylookinhat | So - I just lost all of my window titlebars in Ubuntu Classic on 11.04 - I think I might have hit a key combo by accident... but there's no titlebar w/ the close/minimize buttons on anything anymore.... suggestions? :D | 16:22 |
| dawn713 | ok "esc" as soon as the bios screen disappears. then what? | 16:23 |
| Kereltis | I did a reinstall of Natty last night and was thinking... | 16:23 |
| moustafa | F-3000: I'd like to mention that 9.10 has reached its end of life recently, you may want to consider going to 10.10 | 16:23 |
| schnuffle | dawn713: then youshould have the option to choose which OS to boot, If the computer guy installed both OS in a correct way you should be able to choose windows | 16:23 |
| Kereltis | Wouldn't it be great if Ubuntu One could remember the podcasts I'm subscribed to in Banshee, that would be very handy | 16:23 |
| dawn713 | OK.... wish me luck....here I go. | 16:24 |
| dawn713 | BTW Thank you. | 16:24 |
| schnuffle | your welcome, but wait till your problem is solved :) | 16:24 |

| Adamantus | I have a question about open source: People say that if something was going on in the code then people would know about it, but is anyone checking or has time to check code of the software they use? I supose if they are copying and building something new but otherwise.. | 16:26 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: I was considering 10.04 due to LTS. I dislike idea of reinstalling ubuntu once per half year. Even once per year sounds frustrating. I'm aware of update-manager being able to do it, yet, if something goes wrong, then I HAVE TO reinstall Ubuntu. | 16:26 |
| moustafa | F-3000: Sorry, meant 10.04. 10.10 is just easier to type on a laptop's keyboard :p | 16:26 |

| F-3000 | moustafa: I would still be using 8.04 if one bloody game (which I eventually grew bored to) wouldn't have demanded newer. | 16:27 |
| Kereltis | afrodeity: it would make a reinstall so much easier :) | 16:27 |
| Adamantus | schnuffle: So you're saying that is enough of a deterent, for example: Being reported for file sharing by a bittorrent client (not ubuntu q related I know). | 16:28 |

| afrodeity | kale: update-grub will do it | 16:30 |
| kale | afrodeity: ahh, that made the system download a new kernel. it seems my mother forgot to upgrade for about 2 years | 16:30 |
| schnuffle | Adamantus: don't understand your question. I would recommend it this way. As long as you use official repositories you're on the save side. | 16:30 |
| coz_ | jdobrien, compiz --replace ccp & or from terminal compiz --replace ccp & disown | 16:30 |
| coz_ | jdobrien, sorry you want just the settings manager | 16:31 |
| coz_ | jdobrien, that would be ccsm] | 16:31 |
| jdobrien | coz_, yes | 16:31 |
| coz_ | jdobrien, sorry bad key habits it is ccsm | 16:31 |
| kale | afrodeity ok, rebooting, thanks | 16:31 |
| plmtitlc | hey, somehow the MBR got installed on the wrong harddrive and I wanted to know how I might change this. | 16:32 |
| jdobrien | thx | 16:32 |
| coz_ | jdobrien, what h append | 16:32 |
| gh0stz | I have a box with win7 installed. This machine is setup in RAID1. I partitioned off half of the drive and installed 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04 but after each install it just hoses my MBR and sends my machine into a reboot loop | 16:32 |
| coz_ | jdobrien, did the system freeze or compiz crash? | 16:32 |
| jdobrien | coz_ tried the desktop cube + unity mix | 16:32 |
| coz_ | jdobrien, ok the cube is possible in unity | 16:32 |
| gh0stz | there are no errors during the install but I can never use the install. I can however always repair the MBR and boot back to windows but nothing on the ubuntu side | 16:33 |
| coz_ | jdobrien, it does crash unity when you first enable it | 16:33 |
| madadam1 | Hi, how could I add a launche inside the "game" menù in ubuntu 11.04? | 16:33 |
| gh0stz | anyone aware of any issues that could cause this | 16:33 |
| Samo502 | http://samo502.hopto.org/resprob.png <- this is the problem i'm having | 16:33 |
| qin | madadam1: Use: alacarte | 16:33 |
| maz | Hello, I don't suppose there is anyone who is familiar with the BlackBerry Tethering Software Berry4all? | 16:33 |
| coz_ | jdobrien, ` however,, if you run metacity --replace & disown from terminal then open ccsm,, and start enableing cube rotate cube viewport switcher and the unity plugin then start compiz it should work | 16:34 |
| madadam1 | qin, what is it? | 16:34 |
| plmtitlc | gh0stz: Is it possible it installed the MBR on a different drive than usual, so you have to go in and change the boot sequence? | 16:34 |
| coz_ | jdobrien, this wont happen later,, however,, enalbing the cube in Unity is recent so doing this wont be necessary later on | 16:34 |
| maz | Anyone? Berry4all? Blackberry tethering software? | 16:34 |
| gh0stz | plmtitlc: maybe, but that's the thing, because of the raid controller it only shows as one drive | 16:34 |
| samiran | someone please help me fixing my wifi and bluetooth in ubuntu11.04 which worked fine in previous versions. I dont find it anywhere in www | 16:35 |
| jdobrien | coz_, perhaps you can answer this. my windows are opening outside of the visible area with only the bottom showing, how can i move them? | 16:35 |
| gh0stz | plmtitlc: sorry but it's been a while since I've used ubuntu...what would be the best way for me to check | 16:36 |
| Samo502 | Does anybody know how to fix this issue? | 16:36 |
| coz_ | jdobrien, ah open ccsm... go to the Window management category,, click on Place windows plugin,, in the "Placement Mode" pull down , choose "Centered" | 16:36 |
| qin | madadam1: Sorry, outdated (was thinking of 10.10) | 16:36 |
| coz_ | jdobrien, see if that works | 16:36 |
| gem_cat | having prob with pulseaudio - how do I disable it in natty | 16:36 |
| F-3000 | moustafa: And the fact that Ubuntu rushes so fast with the distro versions, eventually TOTALLY abandoning older versions, makes it very bad choice for "install for non-poweruser and forget". For example, Firefox 4 works even on Win 2k. I can't get FF4 for 9.10. | 16:37 |
| madadam1 | qin, doesn't it work in 11.04? | 16:37 |
| Vhozard | beli: thanks for that gconf | 16:37 |

| jdobrien | coz_, i'm stuck can't open anything anymore | 16:38 |
| Samo502 | http://samo502.hopto.org/resprob.png <- any ideas on this? | 16:38 |
| moustafa | F-3000: The six month releases is to allow "latest and greatest" on all areas of the OS. Having Win2k online nowadays is like having a car with three tires and a barely working braking system: It's asking for trouble. | 16:38 |
| F-3000 | beli: Tell me how to install it using Synaptics? | 16:38 |
| coz_ | jdobrien, make sure the Move window plugin is enabled in Window mangement | 16:38 |

| thegladiator | hi | 16:43 |
| thexfactor | hello | 16:43 |
| erix | Hi all, I want to uninstall apache2 and reinstall it again. I used apt-get remove apache2 but nothing happened. Where is the wrong ? | 16:43 |
| thegladiator | is GDM theme something I can install , if yes what effect would it have on my system | 16:43 |
| jrib | erix: why do you want to do this? | 16:43 |
| erix | Because, Php doesnt work | 16:44 |
| jrib | erix: uninstalling and reinstalling would solve nothing | 16:44 |
| jrib | !lamp | erix | 16:44 |
| ubottu | erix: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 16:44 |
| thegladiator | does GDM theme just affect the LOGIN screen ? | 16:44 |
| Dr_Willis | w83: theres issues with some of the wireless chipset drivers I think where they cant do ad-hoc. I seem to recall seeing this once. | 16:44 |
| jrib | erix: see the instructions on enabling php. If you've done that, then scroll to the troubleshooting section and follow that | 16:44 |
| erix | Yep you'r all right buddy It is a assignment | 16:44 |
| jrib | erix: what? | 16:44 |
| erix | I need to install each seperately | 16:44 |
| jrib | erix: install each what? | 16:45 |
| erix | It is a homework | 16:45 |
| Dr_Willis | erix: use the PURGE option to remove configs.. but i dont see what you are gaining by this. | 16:45 |
| jrib | erix: but what do you want to do? | 16:45 |
| erix | I want to do first install apache,then php and after that mysql | 16:45 |
| beli | F-3000: well the biggest problem is that most ppl you are talking about are not willed to consume a manual | 16:46 |
| JoeCoolDesk | Hey, my systems both boot into a blank screen. No message and unable to issue commands | 16:46 |
| erix | I cannot use LAMP | 16:46 |
| jrib | erix: ubottu's link explains how to do that then, just follow that | 16:46 |
| JoeCoolDesk | Anyone else see this after upgrading? | 16:46 |

| Dulak | erix: you want to get a list of packages from 'dpkg -l | grep apache' then run 'apt-get purge packagenameshere' | 16:46 |
| Dulak | erix: then you install the packages again and you'll have a pristine install to work with | 16:47 |
| kale | afrodeity thank you, my system is booting fine now. | 16:47 |
| Ian_Corne | Anyone know if there's a launchpad bug yet with the wireless hardware button problem? | 16:48 |
| F-3000 | beli: I'm one of those people. The fatter the manual, the more it freaks me. ;) Difference is, that I have interest to learn. As an example, I'd very easily learn how to drive a car. Yet, I have close to zero interest to how to fix it (not true, but let's pretend for the sake of the example). | 16:48 |
| gh0stz | so has anyone else had any problems installing as a dual-boot situation after a win7 install | 16:49 |
| F-3000 | beli: So goes with computers. There's a lot of people who can easily learn to use it, yet they have zero interest about how to fix it. Just because it's not something that lights their fire. | 16:49 |
| beli | F-3000: so acting that way you have to exspect that nothing is working 100% as you want and you cannot configure it 100% to your needs...so you need help from someone else and in common you have to pay for it..........nothing special in my eyes | 16:49 |
| Travis-42 | Do current versions of GParted properly align SSD partitions? I can't find a clear answer. | 16:50 |
| QwertMan | Abybody here running 11.04 on their cr-48? | 16:50 |
| gh0stz | does anyone know if you install on a machine with hardware raid, do you have to specify any flags on the install to make sure it works properly with the raid configuration? | 16:51 |
| F-3000 | beli: Why I have difficulties seeing it that way? ("nothing special") | 16:51 |
| F-3000 | beli: (it was a real question) | 16:51 |
| compdoc | QwertMan, you dont like chrome? | 16:51 |
| schnuffle | gh0stz: you don't have to specify anything | 16:51 |
| QwertMan | I love chrome :P | 16:52 |
| QwertMan | But I also like to watch videos. And chrome OS doesn't do that yet. | 16:52 |
| tado | i am having trouble with cryptkeeper after a fresh natty install. when i try to create a new encrypted folder, the program shuts down and i get a "segmentation fault" error, any ideas on how to solve it? | 16:52 |
| schnuffle | gh0stz: of course you'll need the tools to access the RAID infos | 16:52 |
| Dulak | gh0stz: hardware raid is below the OS, it simply presents the raided volume as a disk, there is nothing to configure on the OS side, because it's done in the raid bios | 16:52 |
| gh0stz | schnuffle: any ideas then what could cause this situation...i've installed multiple times as stand-alone or side by side with win7 and it works fine. The only difference on this box is the RAID controller but it refuses to install properly | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Unless its one of those cheap sort-of-a-raid setups :) | 16:52 |
| erix | Works :) | 16:53 |
| gh0stz | Dulak: true, I was curious about the flags in case any kernel modules would be necessary to properly handle any tasks | 16:53 |
| beli | F-3000: its just how reality is.....nothing is perfect.......and if you dont want to invest time to learn and fix things itself.....you have to pay for it....thats with just anything that way | 16:53 |
| erix | But If I made a2dissite default, then php didnt work again is it normal ? | 16:53 |
| schnuffle | gh0stz: where does it hang then? | 16:53 |
| Dulak | gh0stz: schnuffle is right though, if you want info on it, you'll need a util that can speak to the bios you have, but otherwise the OS just sees a disk, not a raid array | 16:53 |
| iceroot | gh0stz: a hardware-raid is invisible for ubuntu, its just a normal hdd for ubuntu | 16:54 |
| iceroot | gh0stz: everything else is fakeraid/software raid. so the only important thing is that the kernel supports the raid-controller | 16:54 |
| gh0stz | schnuffle: nothing hangs but after the install completes and the system reboots the bios screen shows, then the raid controller info, then the system reboots and continues that pattern forever | 16:55 |
| erix | Buddies, But If I made a2dissite default, then php didnt work again. is it normal ? | 16:55 |
| schnuffle | gh0stz: during installation where does it install grub? | 16:56 |
| gh0stz | iceroot: yea this is not fakeraid and the controller seems to be supported because it works fine on livecd and sees everything properly during the installer, but then it doesn't...i was just wondering if it could possibly be loading some module via discovery on livecd but then that wasn't getting installed/configured during actual install | 16:56 |
| w83 | Dr_Willis, managed to google it - any suggestion how this can be fixed ? | 16:56 |
| * beli is off upgrading some bizzapps......IT weekend stuff ;) cu all | 16:56 | |
| Dr_Willis | w83: i cant even rember the original problem... | 16:57 |
| spyhermit | so, anyone running into an issue where unity isn't scaling images/fonts right? | 16:57 |
| gh0stz | schnuffle: it is installing it on the /dev/dm-0p which is the device mapper | 16:57 |
| gh0stz | schnuffle: but i've also manually specified /dev/sda and sdb | 16:57 |
| schnuffle | gh0stz: under which device is your RAID accessible /dev/sda? | 16:58 |
| Bane99 | hey can anyone help me with the install of ubuntu 11? | 16:58 |
| tado | spyhermit: i had a font problem, that i solved following advice here and did this: sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-* | 16:58 |
| tado | spyhermit: backup first ;) | 16:58 |
| gh0stz | schnuffle: well now see that's the thing...i've not gotten to boot into the installed system at all, but from the livecd I can actually see the mapper, sda and sdb | 16:58 |
| silverlightning | does anyone know the fglrx drivers? | 16:58 |
| Bane99 | backup? | 16:58 |
| F-3000 | beli: In other words... There's no way to create most idealistic and stable situation for a non-poweruser. Just because of the simple facts, that a) world changes. In IT area, it's just quicker than on ie. cars, b) hardware deteriorates over time, thus there's no hope they'll never have problems even if they got the perfect software. | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Bane99: It pays to always have backups of your system. | 16:59 |
| spyhermit | tado: have to restart after? | 16:59 |
| spyhermit | lol | 16:59 |
| schnuffle | gh0stz: So sda is RAID, what is sdb? | 16:59 |
| Bane99 | what i mean is i'm a noob at this, so... something about where to install the bootloader | 16:59 |
| Bane99 | and determining which drive since linux has different free space allocation values | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Bane99: normally the hard drive you boot from. ie: sda | 17:00 |
| gh0stz | schnuffle: sdb is the 2nd disk in the raid array...that's what I'm saying, for some reason under ubuntu it is seeing them as 2 drives, which it shouldn't be | 17:00 |
| Bane99 | sda isn't the drive i boot from tho... it's sdb oddly enough | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Bane99: if you have 2 hard drifes and linux is dedicated to one you could put it on that drive and tell teh bios to boot that hd. | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Bane99: so you can do it eitehr way really. | 17:00 |
| korst3n | what precautions should I take before having my PC's SSH accessible over the internet? | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Bane99: sda - windows here, sdb - linux, i put mine on sdb. and set bios to boot sdb | 17:01 |
| Bane99 | well i set aside a 100GB partition | 17:01 |
| milen8204 | How to run Compiz setting trough Unity. I've tried but everything got messy. I didnt have minimize, maximize and close buttons on my windows and so on. | 17:01 |
| red__ | hi i just upgraded to the new ubuntu and it has the option bar at left hand side can I get rid of it? | 17:01 |
| Dulak | korst3n: rate limit ssh connections, and use ssh keys and turn off passwords for ssh | 17:01 |
| nit-wit | milen8204, are trying to get the cube | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | milen8204: unity uses compiz by default. but some settings in ccsm/compiz can cause issues. | 17:01 |
| milen8204 | nit-wit, yes :D | 17:01 |
| Bane99 | just having an issue recognizing which one it is.. that and i apparently have 2 windows 7 loaders? | 17:01 |
| gh0stz | schnuffle: be back in a few minutes...i've made a few changes, i re-installed grub as well...going to try to reboot | 17:01 |
| korst3n | Dulak, thank you | 17:01 |
| * Dr_Willis hopes unity kills the cube. | 17:01 | |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 17:01 |
| nit-wit | milen8204, hold on I have a link it is messy but works. | 17:02 |
| F-3000 | beli: So, if I build a system for non-pu, I just need to ensure they're using LTS of Ubu? | 17:02 |
| schnuffle | gh0stz: That sounds strange cause if you really have a Hardware RAID and it's setup correctly then there will be only one drive. Check if your RAID is configured as JBoD | 17:02 |
| Bane99 | lol can anyone help me in PM? | 17:02 |

| victorhugo289 | Guys, what would be the best highlighting mode to write this: 9x^2-36+3x^2-11x+10=3x^2+x-10, in Gedit and to hightlight the coefficients for me?? | 17:03 |
| Dulak | F-3000: for the most stable experience with ubuntu always stick with an LTS, you should only be on a non-lts if you need something the LTS doesn't have | 17:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bimbo: perhaps teh su command may work better? | 17:03 |
| maurizio__ | no one can help me with launchers in 11.04? not in unity, in applications. How can add a launcher inside the menu game for example? | 17:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bimbo: dependiong on the details. | 17:03 |
| tado | spyhermit: the no idea, sorry | 17:03 |
| iri1989 | is 11.04 any good? | 17:03 |
| nomorewindows | l | 17:04 |
| rumpe1 | victorhugo289, try alt(right)-2 | 17:04 |

| milen8204 | nit-wit, thanks | 17:04 |
| Dr_Willis | milen8204: :) x2 as good as (11.04/2) | 17:04 |
| iri1989 | what's unity guide? | 17:04 |
| victorhugo289 | hm | 17:04 |
| Dr_Willis | iri1989: lots of blog sites have guides on getting started with unity. then theres a few other sites | 17:05 |
| nit-wit | milen8204, no prob the cube is a functional attribute not just bling . | 17:05 |

| thus | I want to deploy and automatically configure a bunch of 8.04 LTS cli-only ubuntu virtual machines. What are some good ways to do that? I'm using VMware Player on the host machine. Should I just generate startup scripts that the VM will use once upon first boot? | 17:05 |
| Bane99 | nvm is there a forums i can ask help at? | 17:05 |
| F-3000 | Dulak: Because I have faced that. | 17:05 |
| victorhugo289 | @IRI189, to know if an Ubuntu is good, what I do is install Google Earth, if it's easy and it works, then I consider it "usable". Haha, Google earth works nice on 11.04, don't take my idea. | 17:06 |

| Dulak | F-3000: i only run the LTS myself, but I'm more conservative than a lot of people | 17:06 |
| Soyo | Anyway its the netbook gui I believe | 17:06 |
| nomorewindows | ya but grub doesnt show that | 17:07 |
| Dr_Willis | bimbo: im not really clear on what you are doing. I recall running stuff as differnt users using 'su' and the password of the new user. | 17:07 |
| nomorewindows | and if i get to boot my ubuntu i get busybox | 17:07 |
| milen8204 | nit-wit, I agree whit this | 17:07 |
| schnuffle | bimbo: when I run sudo -u user -H env I get the correct Home var | 17:07 |
| milen8204 | am* | 17:07 |
| nit-wit | nomorewindows, I'm not talking about grub it is a choice of hd, floppy usb, etc out of the bios a second choice menu | 17:07 |
| nit-wit | nomorewindows, you need grub in the mbr correct? | 17:08 |
| Dr_Willis | bimbo: you are running an X application as a differnt user? | 17:08 |
| nomorewindows | mbr? | 17:08 |
| bimbo | schnuffle: I see, but it'll print /root when you do: sudo -u user -H echo "$HOME" | 17:08 |
| bimbo | Dr_Willis: no, cmd line app | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | bimbo: su billgates -c makemoneycommand | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | it will ask for billgates password | 17:09 |
| nomorewindows | my second boot option is my hdd on my bios but i dont get any other kind of menu | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | echo $HOME | 17:10 |

| new_kid1 | is there a channel for linux games ?? | 17:10 |
| Dulak | bimbo: you might want the -i option to sudo, it should emulate a login, running the various configs to setup the environment | 17:10 |
| jasongriffee | what version of adobe air does ubuntu use? | 17:10 |
| Dr_Willis | bimbo: that may be bypassing the shell somehow. | 17:10 |
| SuperLag | meganerd: you around? | 17:11 |
| nomorewindows | nit-wit, brb ill go check that | 17:11 |
| iri1989 | do you guys know any cool tricks on IRC? | 17:11 |
| Dr_Willis | bimbo: su billgates -c set | grep HOME | 17:11 |
| bimbo | Dulak: same thing, it'll print /root | 17:11 |
| nit-wit | nomorewindows, try f12 at powering oin gthe computer | 17:11 |
| F-3000 | Dulak: It's quite a shot on interest towards Ubuntu when someone just simply tells you to upgrade from LTS to get a bug fixed. As if saying "Ay, we got the LTS, but we care a shit about it." | 17:12 |
| Dr_Willis | bimbo: that shows home as being /home/billgates | 17:12 |
| iceroot | iri1989: the best trick about irc is to stay ontopic | 17:12 |
| SergeantWagner | hello | 17:12 |
| iri1989 | it's not fun | 17:12 |
| iri1989 | i'm never ontopic | 17:12 |
| iceroot | iri1989: wrong place for that | 17:12 |
| iri1989 | iceroot: where should i go? | 17:12 |
| iceroot | iri1989: #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:13 |
| new_kid1 | okay let me stay on topic..........is there a channel for linux games??? | 17:13 |
| SergeantWagner | anyone having a problem with usb mic in webcam not working? | 17:13 |
| iri1989 | iceroot: be truthful | 17:13 |
| Dulak | F-3000: LTS bugs are backported from the current release, they are basically saying 'it's fixed in current, if you want it now upgrade, otherwise wait for the backport' | 17:13 |
| Holger_Morissoni | hi, i know nothing about linux - yet - but i am thinking of installing it. i have decided to make it debian or ubuntu but have found not much information about what's better in ubuntu than in debian on which it is based | 17:13 |
| bimbo | Dr_Willis: Dulak: schnuffle: ok seems like it's working :) echoing $HOME from a script does print the right variable, thank you | 17:13 |
| SergeantWagner | it was fine before the upgrade but now it doesnt show up on input tab | 17:13 |
| jrib | bimbo: that's probably because you aren't passing $HOME to sudo but instead passing whatever your shell determines $HOME is when you execute the command | 17:13 |

| iri1989 | later | 17:14 |

| F-3000 | Dulak: If they would have mentioned about the waiting for backport... | 17:14 |

| ajmak | Anyone? Postfix, amavisd-new, spamassassin, clamav setup.... | 17:17 |
| Soyo | lil00tony: You can choose to do a side-by-side installation that is on a seperate partition which will save your files and even allow a dual-boot | 17:17 |

| lil00tony | i want it to remove | 17:17 |
| momolee | lil00tony nope it wll not erase all you files all you have to do is to create a separate partition for the ubuntu | 17:18 |
| lil00tony | oh, okay | 17:18 |
| Dulak | bimbo: set the shell entry for the account to /bin/false, ex: 'sudo chsh -s /bin/false username' | 17:18 |
| ajmak | schnuffle: ta. I have the proxy setup however, when relaying to exchange I'm losing the X-* headers that spamassassin adds. | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | lil00tony: you can delete your xp install partitions, befor or after booting the ubuntu cd . If you want to remove xp that is.. | 17:18 |
| Soyo | lil00tony: If you WANT to remove all the files you can erase and use the entire disk. Otherwise I would use a sperate partition. | 17:18 |
| ajmak | Sorry, X-Spam* headers... | 17:18 |
| x-ip | thanks Dr_Willis :) | 17:18 |
| SergeantWagner | x-ip, you can get the gtalk plugin for your browser and call US lines for free for one year | 17:18 |
| schnuffle | bimbo: there's a setting for sudo that should help you, alway_set_home | 17:18 |
| polis_ | hello | 17:18 |
| bimbo | schnuffle: yeah, I was just wondering how to do it using su instead of sudo | 17:19 |
| bimbo | .. | 17:19 |
| momolee | polis_ hello | 17:19 |
| lil00tony | one of the reasons i am doing ubuntu is because i wanna remove everything from my computer | 17:19 |
| polis_ | hi nomolee | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | lil00tony: the Ubuntu installer even has a check box for 'use the whole disk' | 17:19 |
| polis_ | momolee* | 17:19 |
| schnuffle | ajmak: sure you don't relay before running your stuff through spamassassin? | 17:19 |
| lil00tony | okay, so that will make it so i have all my space again? | 17:20 |
| momolee | polis_ how you? | 17:20 |
| x-ip | SergeantWagner, thanks for the tip :) but i only need a sip client to connect to the Office Asterisk so i can call my workmates from here :) | 17:20 |
| mordof | does 11.04 gnome have widget support? | 17:20 |
| polis_ | i'f fine, how are you? | 17:20 |
| Soyo | lil00tony: Then just choose the erase and use entire disk option, it will reformat the HD and install Ubuntu. (You will lose anything that was on there) | 17:20 |
| asdf__ | i knew i booted my windows from /dev/sda2, now grub show it /dev/sda1 -- i still know that my windows lives in sda2 and only the Boot directory is in sda1 - what is happening? | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | lil00tony: lets be clear.. you want to DELETE XP totally from the pc. and use the entire hard drive for your brand new Ubuntu Install? | 17:20 |
| novitololo | I need help please. I'm trying to resintall GRUB from a live cd, but when doing sudo grub it says grub: command not found. I can't access Internet because my card needs to download drivers. What can I do? | 17:20 |
| schnuffle | bimbo: with su use su - which sets a login shell | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | lil00tony: or is Ubuntu allready installed? | 17:20 |
| ajmak | schuffle: no, I'm creating a mail file and delivering it to postfix on the ubuntu box. It's spam and av checking fine. If I leave the message no the ubuntu box, I can see the X-Spam* headers on it. If I turn the Ubuntu box into a relay to exchange, when the message drops into Outlook, the X-Spam* headers are missing. | 17:21 |
| lil00tony | it is not installed | 17:21 |
| Dulak | lil00tony: that will make ubuntu delete everything on the hard drive then install itself, so you'll have ubuntu installed, with any space ubuntu itself doesn't take free | 17:21 |
| aBs0lut30 | how can I check the CPU affinity for a process... anybody?? | 17:21 |
| lil00tony | okay | 17:21 |
| === ng_ is now known as NG_ | ||
| lil00tony | so if my computer is almost full then it will empty and install ubuntu? | 17:21 |
| Dr_Willis | lil00tony: ubuntu installer has a button that does 'delete all teh other stuff on the HD and use space just for ubumntu' :) | 17:21 |
| schnuffle | ajmak: but the subject line is prepended with a SPAM>>> or something | 17:21 |
| Dr_Willis | lil00tony: it will DELETE the partitions.. gone.. all removed.. | 17:21 |
| ajmak | schnuffle: actually, I'm wondering if this is being stripped by exchange, I may be asking this in the wrong place.... | 17:21 |
| Dr_Willis | lil00tony: backup stuff you want to keep :) | 17:22 |
| polis_ | i have a problem too | 17:22 |
| lil00tony | okay, i already backed everything up on an external | 17:22 |
| ajmak | schnuffle: no, it's spam free, doesn't trigger anything. | 17:22 |
| schnuffle | ajmak: that was my next proposition | 17:22 |
| momolee | polis_ what's your problem ? | 17:22 |
| Soyo | lil00tony: Well in that case go for it! | 17:22 |
| Dr_Willis | lil00tony: You can even install/boot Ubuntu from an external usb HD. :) | 17:22 |
| odla | how can i install ubuntu from kubuntu? | 17:22 |
| ajmak | schnuffle: np, thx anyway | 17:22 |
| Dr_Willis | odla: install the ubuntu-desktop package. | 17:22 |
| Dr_Willis | odla: then puick what desktop at the login screen | 17:22 |
| lil00tony | yeah, i have a BTlinux cd that does that too | 17:23 |
| schnuffle | ajmak: cause postfix doesn't change any header as long you don't tell it to do | 17:23 |
| lil00tony | but i wanna make it permanent | 17:23 |
| polis_ | well, i was upgrading to 11.04 ubuntu, when i had my laptop disconnected from power supply | 17:23 |
| nomorewindows | nit-wit, ok so f12 is actually network boot for me so. im on my backtrack partition now you think theres anything i could do from there? the disto is based on ubuntu | 17:23 |
| polis_ | the result is that the disk drive is not recognised anymore | 17:23 |
| schnuffle | ajmak: I have a sinilar setup which relays to another postfix bix and no changes | 17:24 |
| momolee | polis_ then what happened? did you have important files in your home folder or your data was on a separate partition? | 17:24 |
| lil00tony | Dr_Willis: if i mess up, is there an option to fix it? | 17:24 |
| polis_ | i followed the support forum where i found that i had to write "sudo do-release-update" from the terminal | 17:24 |
| ajmak | schnuffle: cool, that's how I'll spend my Monday then :) Exchange box still has forefront on it which may be doing the stripping, I'll speak to the admin. | 17:24 |
| jasongriffee | why cant I unmute my sound? | 17:24 |
| Dulak | aBs0lut30: you can use the taskset util to see affinity and modify it: 'man taskset' | 17:24 |
| polis_ | i have everything on the same partition | 17:25 |
| odla | ok that's what i thought but it seemed to easy | 17:25 |
| momolee | was your home folder encrypted? | 17:25 |
| momolee | polis_ was your home folder encrypted? | 17:25 |
| polis_ | anyway when i select "m" for manual boot, and write the sudo command i get a reply "bash: sudo not recognised" or smng | 17:25 |
| lil00tony | how much better is ubuntu than xp? | 17:26 |
| polis_ | i do not think so momolee | 17:26 |
| asdf__ | lil00tony: depends what you need it for | 17:26 |
| jasongriffee | lil00tony, tons | 17:26 |
| lil00tony | i wanna get rid of all of my stuff on my computer, and start fresh. my hacker friend suggested linux, as it is easier with shell | 17:27 |
| polis_ | i believe that if i do the upgrade again somehow everything will be restored or not? | 17:27 |
| gnarlygroundhog | I've read that Natty doesn't use more than 2.2GB on a fresh install with updates. Is there any way to get the installer to require less? | 17:27 |
| bimbo | thank you all! | 17:27 |
| Dulak | lil00tony: I haven't had to reboot my ubuntu file server in over a year. I doubt xp could have done that. Though really it's all about what you are doing, for instance gaming is much better on xp than any of the linux distros | 17:28 |
| momolee | polis_ if your home folder wasn't encrypted then try booting using a live cd and navigate to your home folder and check to see if your files are there | 17:28 |
| jasongriffee | Dulak, true | 17:28 |
| lil00tony | my computer is a Dell Dimension 4500 | 17:28 |

| Dr_Willis | size perhaps? | 17:32 |
| the_edge | i like elvis | 17:33 |
| Kron | nano FTW | 17:33 |
| Dulak | vim-tiny and elvis are comparable in size, elvis used to be default in debian back in the day | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis | You can force Elvis to use only black and white with the -mono flag; this is the default if your display only has one bitplane. For color displays, -fg color and -bg color can be used to set the normal text color and the background color, respectively. | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis | http://elvis.the-little-red-haired-girl.org/elvisman/elvis.man.html | 17:34 |

| krzysiek | hi | 18:00 |
| momolee | jasongriffee alsamixer next to master "m" where it's printed headphones | 18:00 |
| jasongriffee | hold on | 18:00 |
| mordof | k, an application locked up - but i can't figure out what process it is to kill it :\ | 18:01 |
| jasongriffee | when I manually move vol. after muting, it plays through both outputs | 18:01 |
| Kron | MarkSS, Sorry, if you want to actually update from command line (no GUI available) you'll need to run "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 18:01 |
| MarkSS | Kron: Is there a way to do it without bringing up update-manager? I guess a pure non-GUI way. Mostly want to know for learning purposes | 18:01 |
| MarkSS | ah thanks! | 18:01 |
| Kron | MarkSS, Sure thing | 18:01 |
| MarkSS | Kron: What about distributions? If say 11.10 or whatever comes out and I do upgrade will it install that automatically without my permission? Or is that a different set of commands? | 18:02 |
| momolee | remove and reput the jack with the vol at the max the reduce the vol but not to 0 | 18:02 |
| mordof | is there any way to list frozen applications? | 18:02 |
| jasongriffee | momolee, what? | 18:02 |
| Kron | MarkSS, "sudo apt-get upgrade" should NOT upgrade distro. You'd have to run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" for that | 18:03 |
| momolee | remove and re-insert the jack with the vol at the max then reduce the vol but not to 0 to prevent dual output | 18:03 |
| ceo | all brotha | 18:03 |
| mordof | screenlets have frozen on my desktop, how do i find their process or name so i can kill them? | 18:03 |

| Osmodivs | The tutorial telss me to do this: The GRUB 2 splash images are controlled by the WALLPAPER line in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme. Open this file for editing as root and find this line: WALLPAPER="/usr/share/images/desktop-base/moreblue-orbit-grub.png" But there is no such a line, the line I found and that resembles the most is this one: # If we haven't found a background image yet, use the default from desktop-base. if set_background_image "/usr/sha | 18:18 |
| Osmodivs | re/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png"; then | 18:18 |

| li0s | can someone help me to make youtube videos go fullscreen size? | 18:20 |
| nessonic | Osmodivs: Just wondering, but have you tried creating it? | 18:20 |
| FoolishOwl | MarkSS, I think it wouldn't take anything special, usually, but if it has dependencies, you may wish to go -> System Settings -> Language Support, and install support for the language. That shouldn't interfere with your English language settings. | 18:20 |
| jony | best movie player in ubuntu? | 18:20 |
| josuf107 | danohuiginn: you can use bash string comparison (i.e. if [ $(cmd) -eq ""] | 18:20 |

| ubottu | jony: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:21 |

| popezaph | I have an Asus 1015PN that I can allegedly tell to run graphics on Intel or Nvidia. How do I confirm which one is active? | 19:40 |
| Dr_Willis | popezaph: one of those DUal Video Card laptops? IVe heard they can well.. be probleatic in Linux. :( | 19:41 |
| arand | robo: If you want to use the terminal for it: "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" | 19:41 |
| robo | ah, okay | 19:41 |
| Kron | popezaph, If you're talking about Optimus I believe there are still some issues with supporting it fully | 19:41 |
| popezaph | Dr_Willis - People have figured stuff out on them, but I haven't poked Ubuntu in years so I'm not sure I did it correctly | 19:41 |
| robo | arand, i suppose update just installs patches while upgrade upgrades to the latest version? | 19:41 |
| arand | robo: | 19:41 |
| robo | arand, yup, man page says it's so :-) | 19:42 |
| popezaph | Kron - I'd be OK with just having Nvidia's stuff active and deal with the battery drain | 19:42 |
| conor_ireland | is ubuntu enterprise cloud any different to the normal server? like should i install it now if i might use it in the future or should i only install if i have 2 or more servers now? | 19:42 |
| Dr_Willis | popezaph: You could try running the nvidia-settings tool and see what it says | 19:42 |
| jordotech | how do i create a user's home dir with .bash_rc and all that for an existing user? | 19:42 |
| popezaph | Dr - Thx | 19:42 |
| Dr_Willis | jordotech: for an existing user? you would have to copy the files to their existing home, and chown them as needed I would imagine. | 19:42 |
| arand | robo: No, update only updates the cache, upgrade upgrades to whatever the latest fix for your version of ubuntu is | 19:42 |
| Dr_Willis | jordotech: its .bashrc also I think. :) the stuff in /etc/skel gets copied to newly made users as a skeleton for their Home. | 19:43 |
| robo | ah, okay arand. So a apt-upgrade won't cause it to jump to a new version. So if i'm running 10.04LTS i'll always stay on that version? | 19:43 |
| jordotech | Dr_Willis, thanks and yes its .bashrc :) | 19:43 |
| jordotech | oops | 19:43 |
| arand | robo: Yes, for that you'd need to use "sudo do-release-upgrade" instead | 19:44 |
| uberfrau | hey guys, when i unplug my headset and plug it back in, alsamixer doesn't save the settings that places the mic volume and boost up. how can i get it to save those settings? | 19:44 |
| Dr_Willis | jordotech: theres some other files besides .bashrc you may want to check out. Depending on what you want to do. Then thers tye system wide bashrc in /etc | 19:44 |
| Kron | popezaph, Not sure how to do that. Taking a quick look around | 19:44 |
| jordotech | something weird- new ubuntu install 11.04 doesn't allow tab to complete the command | 19:44 |
| robo | cool; ty arand ! | 19:44 |
| Dr_Willis | jordotech: try 'source /etc/bash_completion' | 19:44 |
| qr | In 11.04 ctrl+alt+numpadkeys resizes windows. How do I turn this off? It doesn't seem to be an option in the keyboard shortcuts configuration. | 19:44 |

| Kron | mordof, How is it that no matter how things advance I'm always looking forward to some future update? :) | 20:24 |
| mang0 | so I just "mark" what it wants me too? | 20:24 |
| nit-wit | mang0, aptitude is another package control manager for example if you install something with it and the dependencies when you remove it aptitude removes the dependencies as well, a clean way of do all of this. it is just installing it and subing aptitude for apt-get | 20:24 |
| mang0 | to* | 20:24 |
| pdfman | does anyone know how to tell Ubuntu to load wirers each time?eless adaptor driv | 20:24 |

| mang0 | nit-wit: I getchat now :) | 20:24 |
| coz_ | mang0, so at some point you have to decide the disk useage costs of wine+applications or windows | 20:24 |
| mordof | Kron: lol, oh i know right.. but it's a far stretch from Ubuntu 6, where i first started | 20:24 |

| hays_ | nit-wit: and gparted does not see either of my hard drives plugged into a SATA III controller | 20:27 |

| xgt001 | hello | 20:32 |
| xgt001 | laptop runs VERY noisy :( in ubuntu since 10.04 | 20:32 |
| coz_ | hey | 20:32 |
| xgt001 | someone help | 20:32 |
| jack123 | how to convert hdd to fat32 in windows 7 .? | 20:32 |
| usr13 | xgt001: what is your problem? | 20:32 |
| FloatingGoat | .... | 20:32 |
| dasdasds | what do you use, kubuntu or ubuntu or lubuntu | 20:32 |
| xgt001 | usr13: laptop runs extremely noisy in ubuntu | 20:33 |
| usr13 | jack123: We have Ubuntu support here. Can not tell you how to do stuff in Win7 | 20:33 |
| coz_ | xgt001, no need to move up to 11.04 since 10.4 was LTS and is supported for some time,, and directly upgradeable to 12.04 LTS when its released | 20:33 |
| xgt001 | with less battery life | 20:33 |
| mordof | jordotech: well.. give it a try, though that guide won't help you entirely. you'll need to get the repo list for 10.04 first | 20:33 |
| dasdasds | hello i have a question | 20:33 |
| mordof | jordotech: and supplement with that | 20:33 |
| mang0 | !ask dasdasds | 20:33 |
| dasdasds | i LIKE gnome 2, not unity, not gnome 3, and i need very stable operating system | 20:33 |
| nit-wit | hays_, hmm does the disk manager in W7 se both HD's | 20:33 |
| mang0 | fuu | 20:33 |
| usr13 | xgt001: What noise is it making? | 20:33 |
| dasdasds | which should me use | 20:33 |
| dasdasds | e | 20:33 |
| coz_ | xgt001, 11.04 is still rather glitchy ,, I dont know of a solution for this | 20:34 |
| mang0 | !ask | dasdasds | 20:34 |
| ubottu | dasdasds: 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. :-) | 20:34 |
| mang0 | :P | 20:34 |
| usr13 | jack123: We can tell you how to reformat a disk in Ubuntu. | 20:34 |
| dasdasds | i LIKE gnome 2, not unity, not gnome 3, and i need very stable operating system | 20:34 |
| dasdasds | which should me use | 20:34 |
| dasdasds | e | 20:34 |
| mang0 | coz_: are you there? | 20:34 |
| Kron | mordof, EQ had a per character count. Had to cancel my WoW account last year and delete my toons. Had 5 level 80's, a couple 70's and a couple others... | 20:34 |
| LjL | mang0: oh you're alive. you weren't replying to ping, i was worried :P | 20:34 |
| mang0 | sorry | 20:34 |
| mordof | Kron: geez | 20:34 |
| mang0 | I was uploading screenie | 20:34 |
| coz_ | dasdasds, unfortunately gnome2 will not be around probably a while after gnome2 releases unless someone forks it | 20:34 |
| mang0 | ARGH i'VE BEEN HIT BY LIGHTENING | 20:34 |
| mang0 | lol | 20:34 |
| coz_ | mang0, yep | 20:34 |
| mordof | Kron: i keep thinking i should start playing WoW.. it's easy.. friends play it, lol.. but i'd drop too much time into it | 20:34 |
| hays | nit-wit: any ideas other than to try the ubuntu kernel with gparted? | 20:35 |
| mordof | Kron: at least FFXI was a challenge | 20:35 |
| ackt1c | mang0 everyone has | 20:35 |
| mordof | and required skill | 20:35 |
| LjL | mang0: well sorry for the prolonged mute, i'm looking at what happened now | 20:35 |
| dasdasds | <coz_> okay | 20:35 |
| dasdasds | <coz_> what alternatives ? | 20:35 |
| mang0 | lol. okay great, thanks LjL | 20:35 |
| usr13 | jack123: To format from Ubuntu just do: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdx# | 20:35 |
| BluesKaj | coz_, I've included synaptic as an alias in ~/.bashrc sy='kdesudo /usr/sbin/synaptic' and that works in the cli , but i'd just like to click on synaptic in the panel and have it open without being asked for the pw | 20:36 |
| coz_ | dasdasds, but I completely understand your perspective,, not sure perhaps lxde which is based on gtk2 but not sure if they will switch over maybe xfce but my guess that will go to... maybe one of the other minimal DE's out there | 20:36 |
| dasdasds | <coz_> what alternatives ? unity, gnome 3, xfce, kde ? what do you reocmmend !! | 20:36 |
| mang0 | Ppinged? | 20:36 |
| Kron | mordof, WoW is a cash cow now. Leveling is easy, but fun. They do a decent job of providing content for casual play and hardcore folks. I'm just too much of an addictive personality to keep any balance | 20:36 |
| mordof | Kron: same xD | 20:36 |
| coz_ | BluesKaj, then I think I am puzzled ,, although it is irritating I never bothered changing it sorry :( | 20:37 |
| Savoxocity | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2rDbRUDkds | 20:37 |
| mordof | Kron: hence why i deleted windows.. easier to avoid stuff | 20:37 |
| dasdasds | what shouuld i use instead of gnome 2 | 20:37 |
| coz_ | dasdasds, well there is fluxbox openbox ,, I would take a look at youtube to get an idea how they work,, however NO compiz with those | 20:37 |
| Kron | mordof, same, I built a new system in October and it's running Ubuntu natively. I have a Virtualbox VM with Win XP for Adobe Creative Suite, but that's all I use it for. | 20:37 |
| IdleOne | Savoxocity: how is that Ubuntu support related? | 20:37 |
| mang0 | LjL what do you thing? | 20:37 |
| ratcheer | dasdasds: I am enjoying Gnome 3 on Natty | 20:37 |
| mang0 | think* | 20:37 |
| Savoxocity | dasdasds, use kde4 | 20:37 |
| Frankennstein | someone for a little help? :-) | 20:37 |
| mordof | Kron: hah! me too, CS4 though | 20:37 |
| mang0 | !ask | Frankennstein | 20:38 |
| ubottu | Frankennstein: 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. :-) | 20:38 |
| mang0 | ;) | 20:38 |
| jordotech | today someone accidentally sudo chmod 775 an entire server | 20:38 |
| Frankennstein | alternative of Wine emu? | 20:38 |
| dasdasds | is it good to use gnome 3 on ubuntu? | 20:38 |
| dasdasds | because there are ppa | 20:38 |
| mordof | Kron: managed to also get an OS X 10.6 installed under vbox and running smoothly | 20:38 |
| LjL | mang0: sorry, what i think of what? i'm not really following, i'm looking at the floodbots' code | 20:38 |
| nit-wit | hays, If it was me I would first check if W7 is seeing the HD's and a MS type partitioner see them just for comparison. I see this problem on occasion never encountered it. I have to presume here that you have some knowledge in general ;) in thiis area, on the ubuntu cd lool at the disk utility and see if it shows the HD | 20:38 |
| Savoxocity | IdleOne, That clip relates to everything, and everyone | 20:38 |
| coz_ | dasdasds, n ot on Unity,,, it will break Unity,, but there is a PPA for it | 20:38 |
| mang0 | lol | 20:38 |
| mang0 | ARGH | 20:38 |
| * mang0 is confused | 20:38 | |
| Kron | mordof, At work I find it much easier to manage our networking equipment from Linux than Windows | 20:38 |
| dasdasds | coz_ yes i know | 20:38 |
| IdleOne | Savoxocity: lets keep it Ubuntu support related in here please. | 20:38 |
| dasdasds | somebody who can recommend me | 20:38 |
| * mang0 thought coz_ was helping....then thought LjL was helping | 20:38 | |
| hays | nit-wit: W7 is seeing them, and partitioner does see them. | 20:38 |
| dasdasds | an alternative | 20:38 |
| mang0 | ;_-; | 20:38 |
| coz_ | dasdasds, not sure gnome3 is actually stable however | 20:38 |
| mordof | Kron: yeah i believe that | 20:38 |
| dasdasds | ok so what else coz_? | 20:39 |
| coz_ | dasdasds, not even Unity is that stable at this point | 20:39 |
| LjL | mang0: hah. it was definitely coz_, i only helped you by removing the mute on you :P | 20:39 |
| Kron | mordof, Reeeeally. Never even though about trying that. They have a EFI emulator for Vbox? | 20:39 |
| Savoxocity | apt-build --rebuild world ftw! | 20:39 |
| coz_ | dasdasds, not su re let me check hold on | 20:39 |
| mang0 | aaaaah | 20:39 |
| mang0 | I gettit | 20:39 |
| nit-wit | hays, look to see if te disk utility in Ubuntu does as well | 20:39 |
| hays | nit-wit: im hoping the ubuntu kernel solves this.. and that the gparted kernel is just missing some support | 20:39 |
| mang0 | OH | 20:39 |
| dasdasds | coz_ so i think, kde or xfrce | 20:39 |
| mang0 | Coz_ didn't seee what I was writing | 20:39 |
| mang0 | because of the mute | 20:39 |
| hays | nit-wit: ok will do | 20:39 |
| FloodBot1 | mang0: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:39 |
| * mang0 facepalm | 20:39 | |
| LjL | mang0: i'm afraid not | 20:39 |
| mordof | Kron: they do, not one that works for OS X, you have to use a custom EFI loader | 20:39 |
| mang0 | .....dammit. Coz_, may I PM you? | 20:39 |
| Savoxocity | dasdasds, depending on the power of the machine you could use kde4 or xfce, xfce is very light, I put it on my servers for vnc | 20:40 |
| dasdasds | i ahve good pc @savoxocity | 20:40 |
| Kron | mordof, Of course. Apple has great hardware but I don't wanna be a fief in SJ's kingdom :) Which is why I use Ubuntu | 20:40 |
| Savoxocity | Then go for kde4 if your tired of gnome, or gnome3, its... different | 20:40 |
| hays | nit-wit: you just mean du right? | 20:40 |
| dasdasds | savoxocity and why not unity or gnome 3 | 20:40 |
| coz_ | dasdasds, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments and http://xwinman.org/ | 20:40 |
| coz_ | mang0, sure | 20:40 |
| mang0 | k | 20:41 |
| Frankennstein | someone who use Yahoo on ubuntu? | 20:41 |
| mordof | Kron: lol *nods* i wanted to test it out before i considered buying a macbook. actually strongly considering it now | 20:41 |
| zzecool | Deos anyone knows how does ubuntu is able to mount windows share using connect to a server without having the smbmount command installed ? Thank you | 20:41 |
| mordof | Kron: so that move was in apple's favor | 20:41 |
| Savoxocity | dasdasds, to each their own. I like unity more than gnome3 myself, they changed alot in gnome3 | 20:41 |
| dasdasds | savoxocity and why not unity or gnome 3 | 20:41 |
| dasdasds | ok | 20:41 |
| Kron | mordof, Try to convince them of that... | 20:41 |
| mordof | Kron: i would never xD lol.. just sayin | 20:41 |
| dasdasds | Savoxocity i have one problem | 20:41 |
| dasdasds | Savoxocity if i move windows to edge of desktop | 20:42 |
| dasdasds | and then double click on the bar | 20:42 |
| dasdasds | it maximized in other deskto p | 20:42 |
| zzecool | dasdasds, tru but you must have more than half window to the next desktop | 20:43 |
| zzecool | true* | 20:43 |
| Savoxocity | dasdasds, that can be annoying (unity right?) you should have a "desktop" switcher in your sidebar, iirc you can drop your desktops down so there is only one aswel | 20:43 |
| dasdasds | Savoxocity | 20:43 |
| dasdasds | yes i dont know where | 20:43 |
| dasdasds | yes it is unity | 20:44 |
| dasdasds | how can i stop that | 20:44 |
| zzecool | dasdasds, just dont move more than the half of the windoes out of the current desktop | 20:45 |
| paul_ik | hi. anybody experienced problems while surfing web pages through wi-fi when you have pages loaded almost completely but taking forever to load some random images or css? In my netstat I see lots of acknowledgments without payload delivered | 20:45 |
| zzecool | this is a feature not a bug | 20:45 |
| dasdasds | dasdasds, just dont move more than the half of the windoes out of the current desktop | 20:45 |
| dasdasds | and what should i do | 20:45 |
| dasdasds | if i haved moved it at the bottom | 20:45 |
| dasdasds | how can i maximized in THIS desktop | 20:45 |
| zzecool | i see | 20:45 |
| Savoxocity | zzecool, albeit there is a way to use only 1 virtual desktop i jsut dont remember where | 20:45 |
| zzecool | i dont use 4 desktops as a square | 20:46 |
| dasdasds | maybe its a feature but it is really shiit | 20:46 |
| zzecool | iuse 4 in a row | 20:46 |
| dasdasds | okay how can i use 1 | 20:46 |
| dasdasds | or 4 in a row | 20:46 |
| zzecool | so i dont have this problem when i have it down or up | 20:46 |
| dasdasds | i dont need so many | 20:46 |
| zzecool | dasdasds, yes | 20:46 |
| dasdasds | but how | 20:46 |
| IdleOne | dasdasds: no cursing please | 20:46 |
| zzecool | install ccsm | 20:46 |
| zzecool | first | 20:46 |
| dasdasds | ok | 20:46 |

| zzecool | and play with the features | 20:48 |
| zzecool | :D | 20:48 |
| tasslehoff | Any good alternatives to Gwibber? | 20:48 |
| xangua | tweetdeck | 20:48 |
| tasslehoff | xangua: ah. of course. that's adobe air. thanks :) | 20:49 |
| zzecool | tweetdeck is the best twitter client ever | 20:49 |
| zzecool | but you need to install adobe air first | 20:49 |
| zzecool | as it is adobe air application | 20:49 |
| zzecool | tasslehoff, no other native application come even close to tweetdeck | 20:50 |

| iceroot | nb72: you can look at packages.ubuntu.com | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | morecheese: you may be able to add the current time to the prompt so the latest prompt will be the time | 21:01 |
| moele | or \d\T if you want the time | 21:01 |
| moele | and date | 21:01 |

| KM0201 | does quicken even have a linux version? | 21:02 |
| nb72 | iceroot, I'll try that. I was curious because it is listed on ubuntu.com in the features walkthrough. Thanks | 21:03 |
| itaylor57 | KM0201: gnucash | 21:03 |
| KM0201 | itaylor57: is gnucash actually quicken though? | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: I saw a question for this in the answers page, there is a pic of it on the ubuntu site saying its available | 21:03 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: hmm, didn't know that | 21:03 |
| dasy2k1 | KM0201: nope, but it does the same job much better | 21:03 |
| nb72 | gnucash is nice, but it's not quicken. ubuntu.com specifically mentions quicken (with icon) | 21:04 |
| KM0201 | dasy2k1: i've used gnucash pretyt extensively, i like it... just never heard anyone say is quicken. | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: yeah, strange | 21:04 |
| nb72 | I don't see it with a search on packages.ubuntu.com | 21:04 |
| itaylor57 | KM0201: I think it is better, I wrote an accounting program I name Cubbyhole back in way back before quicken | 21:04 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 21:04 |
| dasy2k1 | it isnt quicken, but it does the same job in a better way even if quicken has a bit more eyecandy | 21:05 |
| nb72 | Maybe it's a mistake and the web site needs to be changed? | 21:05 |
| McShane | KM0201: You can try running quicken in Wine, I reckon, or in a virtual machine | 21:05 |
| KM0201 | McShane: well, yeah of course, but that wasn't really the point of the discussion | 21:05 |
| McShane | glad I could help! | 21:05 |
| itaylor57 | I just came in so I missed the whole point of the question | 21:06 |
| kale | i'va been upgrading my ubuntu. and for some reason, it keeps setting som e UUID in the root= statement in grubs menu.lst. this UUID is wrong, and i have to replace it with /dev/sda2 to make my system boot properly. now how do i make ubuntu put in the correct UUID? | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: may work in wine | 21:06 |
| KM0201 | McShane: the question specifically, was "is it int he repositories".. which would seem to indicate there is a linux version (which i never heard of) | 21:06 |
| nb72 | I'm not asking because I want to run quicken (although it would be nice). It's because I see it here: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/features/office-applications | 21:06 |

| ActionParsnip | kale: boot to live CD and reinstate grub2 | 21:06 |
| itaylor57 | I believe quicken is now cloud based so independant of os | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: i've not seen it in the repos | 21:06 |
| KM0201 | itaylor57: now that may well be the case... | 21:06 |

| kale | ActionParsnip: err... i can boot the system | 21:06 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: i haven't either... thus why i was wondering where the guy who asked the question, got that idea | 21:07 |
| kale | ActionParsnip: so how do i reinstate grub? | 21:07 |
| nb72 | itaylor57, Ah, that would make more sense. But if that is the case I think the ubuntu website is misleading. | 21:07 |

| Snii | Hi, I have a machine currently running ubuntu, and I would like to reinstall to the newest version or reset it to "defaults" (I may have messed around a bit). There is no cdrom or USB available. Is it possible to do some magic to complete a reinstall from inside ubuntu? | 21:08 |
| itaylor57 | that is freakie I put quicken in the s/w center and get gnucash | 21:08 |
| Jordan_U | kale: I would recommend upgrading to grub2. "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" and read the prompts carefully. | 21:08 |
| kale | Snii: why would you want to reinstall, what is not working? | 21:08 |
| KM0201 | itaylor57: yup,l you get the same thing if you search quicken in synaptic | 21:08 |
| xangua | Snii: no | 21:08 |
| KM0201 | itaylor57: htats what spurred my question of if they were related somehow(although i didn't think they were) | 21:08 |
| Jordan_U | kale: And be sure to have a LiveCD on hand in case something goes wrong. | 21:09 |
| nb72 | KM0201, quicken and gnucash are defiantly different programs | 21:09 |
| kale | Jordan_U: is it grub, that makes the wrong UUID's ? | 21:09 |
| KM0201 | nb72: right... i don't use (and have never used) quicken.. but have ussed gnucash a lot, so i didn't think they were related | 21:09 |
| Snii | kale: because I messed around in config files and modules and whatnot some time ago (I vaguely remember working on undervolting the processor). Now I cannot remember what I have done, and what I left only half completed... | 21:11 |
| itaylor57 | I was mistaken as usual, quicken is not cloud, only for windows and macosx | 21:11 |
| hays_ | here goes | 21:11 |
| kale | Snii: if nothing is not working, then i'd say there is no reason to reinstall | 21:11 |
| Jordan_U | kale: It sounds like it's the Debian grub-legacy "update-grub" script thats doing something wrong, and there are so many advantages to using grub2 (IMHO at least) that I would recommend it even if nothing were broken. | 21:11 |
| nb72 | As much as I love ubuntu that's not the behavior I'd expect to see on ubuntu.com. Listing quicken as available from the software centre when it's not. What is the right way to get this known. | 21:11 |
| kale | Jordan_U: ok, i'll wait until this upgrade to 11.04 is complete, then i'll take a look at it. | 21:12 |
| Jordan_U | nb72: What page are you seeing this on? | 21:12 |
| nb72 | www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/features/office-applications | 21:12 |
| nb72 | It's in the box 'also available from the software centre' | 21:13 |
| Snii | kale: It's probably not needed, but who knows what "previous-me" has done to make trouble for "future-me"? | 21:14 |

| rewire | Cody3290, Natty's new user interface is great and especially friendly with new users | 21:34 |
| Juv1228 | in the install process it gets all the way to installing base system | 21:34 |
| Cody3290 | If I am upgrading to 11.04, then do I have to run the updates for 10.10? | 21:35 |

| ubottu | buhman: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 22:24 |
| usr13 | Vhozard: I don't know much about brtfs, I use ext4. I have used reiserfs in the past and it's good and fast, but has gained an unfortunate reuptation because of it's original authors behaviour | 22:24 |

| guntbert | !classic | Zelozelos | 22:26 |
| ubottu | Zelozelos: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. | 22:26 |
| S4RY | chrome_: if via bash , you might need to chroot ! | 22:27 |

| bhuey | usr13: restarting of that interface was a bit odd, but it toggled what ever was needed to make it happy | 23:00 |
| caudex | sahip, sorry. I don't know my ircclient very well. | 23:00 |
| bhuey | usr13: thanks and later | 23:00 |
| sahip | daviddoria - well does any other alt-related shortcuts work? | 23:00 |
| usr13 | bhuey: later | 23:00 |
| Priest | usr13: live cd worked this time... but reading on the page you linked, would it not be simpler for a noob like myself to use rescayus rather than try to enter all the stuff myself? knowing the options and the system as you do, would you reccomend i continue with the manual way with live cd, or use rescatus? | 23:00 |
| daviddoria | sahip - well the alt key isn't broken, ctrl+alt+t opens a terminal as it should | 23:01 |
| daviddoria | sahip - but alt+F1 and alt+F2 don't work | 23:01 |
| sahip | caudex, it's alright. So could you repeat please? t48 to t60 you said? | 23:01 |

| flyback | it did it again | 23:01 |
| flyback | WTF | 23:01 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: is your ubuntu 32bit or 64bit? | 23:01 |
| html_inprogress | rescatus whats that? | 23:02 |
| caudex | sahip, it's tpad t-41. I think I would have been okay if i had'nt messed with prefs. | 23:02 |
| ams_ | dkim1987: 64 - actually this is a different page on launchpad than i looked at - i was looking at the vdpau page | 23:02 |

| flyback | since it's buggy | 23:02 |
| xsinick | ok i had it back to 10.10 | 23:02 |
| xsinick | you can not share a printer on Natty | 23:02 |
| sahip | daviddoria - I see, also to make sure, can you check if the script that is attached to those shortcuts actually work? | 23:02 |
| usr13 | Priest: I don't know. Just which ever way looks ok to you. ...What you are comfortable with... | 23:02 |
| xsinick | you can't share folder too | 23:02 |
| Jacinator | Robin0800: Where do I find this Compizconfig? Sorry, I am really new to Ubuntu.. | 23:03 |
| sahip | daviddoria - simply, copy paste the script to a console and see if it does. | 23:03 |
| robin0800 | Jacinator, software centre | 23:03 |
| daviddoria | sahip, what do you mean the script? In keyboard shortcuts i only see two columns, "action" and "shortcut" | 23:03 |
| flyback | I am going to freaking smash this thing, ugh | 23:03 |

| === javjar is now known as jaramillo | ||
| usr13 | but as a Priest, I would suggest you start (and end) with prayer :) | 23:04 |
| ams_ | dkim1987: still - on this x-swat ppa it doesnt go up to 270.41.06 for lucid - lucid has 270.29.x and the gt 440 isnt supported till 270.41.06 | 23:04 |
| Priest | usr13: always do..... | 23:04 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: well then i would try downloading the recent version | 23:04 |
| xsinick | Jacinator: aint that just silly :| | 23:04 |
| usr13 | Priest: Amen | 23:04 |
| sahip | caudex: okay, there are a few tools that change the keyboard. lets start with setxkbmap. Do you know how to use it? | 23:04 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: wget or curl the source | 23:04 |
| daviddoria | sahip, yes, "show the panels run application dialog box" is alt+f2, and "show the panels' main menu is alt+f1 | 23:04 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: maybe git | 23:04 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: maybe maven, i dont know how they keep they source | 23:05 |
| sahip | daviddoria: okay, I was at the console, I'll start gnome and see to it myself. | 23:05 |
| html_inprogress | flyback, do you need help? | 23:05 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: but there should be installer script you can download | 23:05 |
| flyback | html_inprogress: yeah | 23:05 |
| flyback | I just need to disable power management in ubutnu | 23:05 |
| ams_ | dkim1987: on nvidias site theres a .run script | 23:05 |
| flyback | it keeps dimming my display and I am on ac | 23:05 |
| flyback | driving me insane | 23:05 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: then you dont have to rely on ppa for installing driver | 23:05 |
| flyback | I disabled everything in the control panel | 23:06 |
| flyback | so I assume it's a bug in 11.x | 23:06 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: have you tried running it? | 23:06 |
| caudex | sahip, no. and on w32 system here on dialup. not on the meerkat laptop. I just need a list of everything in linux system hierarchy that might cause prefs to stick. | 23:06 |
| ams_ | dkim1987: i was hoping to find a way to force the maverick ppa is all | 23:06 |
| Priest | usr13: downloading rescatux... seems like less for me to screw up along the way | 23:06 |
| usr13 | Priest: I would help, (and I know it is complicated), but that's just it, it is a bit too complicated to give live tech support on this issue. You are better off just reading the information and working it out for yourself. I would go to a private channel and give you pointers as you go, but am about to leave for a while. | 23:06 |
| usr13 | Priest: Good. | 23:06 |
| Priest | usr13: understood... you got me pointed in the right direction | 23:06 |
| ams_ | dkim1987: not yet but just wanted to look at all options first | 23:07 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: the official ppa doesnt seem to have the most recent update from what i see | 23:07 |

| bencc | how do I uninstall a server I built from source? | 23:07 |
| sahip | daviddoria - my bad, apparently the command portion is hidden | 23:07 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: but it shouldnt be 185.. something | 23:07 |
| usr13 | Priest: I've done it for a friend of mine and got through it just fine, but wouldn't have been able to without the instructions. | 23:07 |
| Jordan_U | bencc: What are you actually trying to install? | 23:07 |
| html_inprogress | Priest, do you need help? | 23:08 |
| daviddoria | sahip, how do I unhide it? | 23:08 |
| sahip | caudex: I will relog right now | 23:08 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: if you have 185.something, then you may have a wrong ppa | 23:08 |
| flyback | sure | 23:08 |
| bencc | Jordan_U: I've installed Ejabberd IM server from source and now I want to uninstall and install the new version | 23:08 |

| caudex | sahip what does relog mean? | 23:08 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: i'd just run the script as this page: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/270.41.06/README/installdriver.html | 23:08 |
| ams_ | dkim1987: i will run it tho once i get back to it tonight - i have a diff ppa - ppa:nvidia-vdpau | 23:09 |
| BenBE | How to make GnomeTerminal respect that F10 should go to the console application (mcedit) instead of the menubar? Worked on Maverick, but not on Natty :( | 23:09 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: another way is you can edit your ppa | 23:09 |
| BenBE | I already tried Edit->Shortcuts with all combinations of checkboxes and so on ... | 23:09 |
| Priest | usr13: i am looking at install while downloading in the partitions i have sda1 is ntfs with windows, sda5 is swap i created, sda4 is exta, sda2 is ntfs for windows recovery partition...... i set the device for boot loader to sda4... was this correct or no? | 23:09 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: i've done it with centos, and it should be similar in ubuntu | 23:09 |
| daviddoria | sahip - ah, it turns out there is a "function luck" button on my keyboard | 23:09 |
| ams_ | dkim1987: edit it how? i know how to add them but what else do i change | 23:09 |
| usr13 | BenBE: I usually use F12 for konsole | 23:09 |

| dkim1987 | ams_:but i really think this will just make your life harder | 23:10 |
| Chepoll | daviddoria: and function-luck does? | 23:10 |
| daviddoria | Chepoll, once I turned it on it seems to work as expected | 23:10 |
| caudex | chepoll, Okay, I see | 23:10 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: easiest solution is probably the script, or searching for ppa that is already made for your case | 23:10 |
| robin0800 | priest normall sda is prefered | 23:10 |
| BenBE | usr13 Inside mcedit you need F10 to quit (or Alt+0 (which is also taken by GnomeTerminal) | 23:10 |
| usr13 | BenBE: Actually, it's gnome-terminal (not konsole). | 23:10 |
| Chepoll | caudex: okay I am back, now, have you used setxkbmap before? | 23:10 |
| ams_ | dkim1987: alright - well ill stick to the nvidia site for the moment but ill keep checking the x-swat ppa later | 23:10 |
| tbruff13 | yes using 10.10 how do i enable compiz so that it is my new window manager | 23:10 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: editting ppa is not fun if you dont have enough info about it | 23:10 |
| bencc | Jordan_U: My server uses Jaunty and the package is too old there | 23:11 |
| caudex | chepoll, no I have'nt. | 23:11 |
| ams_ | dkim1987: thanks for the advice! | 23:11 |
| BenBE | trigrou I didn't install compiz. but maybe check for that setting anyway. | 23:11 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: yeah, i dont know when they are going to roll out a new ppa | 23:11 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: no problem, i had a similar problem | 23:11 |
| Priest | robin0800: okay... so i screwed up... select sda instead of sda4 | 23:11 |
| trism | BenBE: unity plugin/key to open first panel menu | 23:11 |
| Jordan_U | bencc: Jaunty is no longer supported. | 23:11 |
| dkim1987 | ams_: just sourced the code and compiled it myself | 23:11 |
| Priest | robin0800: and i should have a workable bootloader? | 23:11 |

| caudex | chepoll, I have used xmodmap sucessfully but Prefs are messing with it. | 23:12 |

| robin0800 | Priest, you can use sudo install-grub /dev/sda | 23:12 |
| giannis_kal7 | i can't connect in python channel | 23:12 |

| erix | does anyone know how to configure htdigest settings ? in apacheconf file | 23:12 |
| Jordan_U | bencc: If you'd like support here you'll need to upgrade to a supported version of Ubuntu. And on top of that I really hope your server isn't internet facing since you're not getting security updates. | 23:13 |
| Priest | robin0800: from a booted live cd, type that into console? | 23:13 |

| chrisk | @<Jordan_U> why can't someone get support for 10.04? It's a LTS that lasts until...2013? | 23:14 |
| a007-253 | I was wondering how to use the command line or start kisme | 23:14 |
| bencc | Jordan_U: I just I asked how to uninstall something I installed with ./configure&&make&& sudo make install | 23:14 |
| bencc | Jordan_U: didn't want a lecture but thanks | 23:14 |
| usr13 | Priest: I think you have to mount and then chroot over to the HDs filesystem first. Right? Did you see that in the instructions? | 23:14 |
| trism | BenBE: in ccsm? | 23:14 |
| Priest | Jordan_U: one physical drive preinstalled with win-vista (i know...) is has a recovery partition for Win and a partition for windows install | 23:14 |
| tbruff13 | yes using 10.10 how do i enable compiz so that it is my new window manager | 23:14 |
| robin0800 | Priest, not without mounting and having ownership of sda | 23:14 |
| a007-253 | Downloaded kismet and cannot get started | 23:14 |

| Jordan_U | chrisk: They can. Jaunty is not 10.04. | 23:15 |
| caudex | chepoll, okay it will take awhile. | 23:15 |
| chrisk | Oh, pardon me. I thought you were talking about 10.04 | 23:15 |
| tbruff13 | Chepoll, it just starts fresh install of 10.10 | 23:15 |
| robin0800 | tbruff13, compiz --replace | 23:15 |
| Priest | usr13: oh... so what robin0800 was telling me is part of the complex thing i am likely to screw up? | 23:15 |

| Jordan_U | Priest: Did you install Windows after Ubuntu? | 23:17 |
| usr13 | introuble: Yes, pretty much... why? | 23:17 |
| robin0800 | Priest, the live cd is the problem IMHO | 23:17 |
| Priest | Jordan_U: windows was there already, did install as "beside a windows installation" | 23:17 |
| chrisk | Anybody got a fix for an apparently missing documents folder in 10.10? | 23:18 |
| Priest | robin0800: didnt you tell me i aimed the bootloader at the wrong spot on initial install? | 23:18 |

| === sahip is now known as Chepoll | ||
| introuble | k | 23:18 |
| caudex | chepoll, should I start in recovery mode? | 23:18 |
| robin0800 | Priest, the easiest way is to use an alternate cd and use recovery menu option | 23:18 |
| Chepoll | no no, you didn't have to restart, you could just type it in while you're just using gnome or whichever it is that you use | 23:19 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | Priest | 23:19 |
| ubottu | Priest: To diagnose boot issues, you can use the Boot Info Script available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ Run the script with !sudo and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 23:19 |

| Pici | introuble: I'd be happy to discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic, but not in pm. | 23:19 |
| Priest | usr13: yes! | 23:19 |
| caudex | chepoll. this is windows here. the meerkat is on a chair next to me ;-) | 23:20 |

| usr13 | Priest: Ok do you see the mount point? | 23:20 |
| introuble | usr13 you there? | 23:20 |
| usr13 | introuble: Yes | 23:20 |
| Priest | i dont know what to do with so many people talking to me at once! sorry and thatnk you all, trying to keep up! | 23:20 |
| Jordan_U | Priest: It's very odd that you are having this problem on a machine with only one hard driv (unless you used manual partitioning and manually pointed grub at a partition rather than the mbr, but I think that's unlikely). | 23:20 |
| Chepoll | caudex: okay, just fully start | 23:20 |
| introuble | usr13 please tell in pvt or ubuntu-offtopic why you said yes | 23:20 |
| caudex | chepoll okay I have meerkat running | 23:20 |
| Priest | usr13: i mounted it, and did the step for verifying the mount was correct | 23:20 |
| Chepoll | caudex: open a terminal emulator | 23:21 |
| robin0800 | Jordan_U, I think thats exactly what he did | 23:21 |
| usr13 | Priest: mount | 23:21 |
| caudex | chep, okay | 23:21 |
| Priest | Jordan_U: i believe that is exatly what i did.... since i manually partitioned because i did not wannt to lose the recovery partition that existed already | 23:21 |
| Chepoll | caudex: open a terminal emulator and in it, enter "sudo setxkbmap -layout your-layout-name" | 23:21 |
| Priest | Jordan_U: i pointed boot at sda4 when apparently that was wrong | 23:21 |
| raven_ | 11.04 mobile network does not connect any more | 23:21 |
| usr13 | Ok well if the mount point were /media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 this is the command you would use: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda | 23:22 |
| Jordan_U | Priest: Ahh. Just so you know, automatic partitioning never deletes partitions. | 23:22 |
| usr13 | Priest: You see the example? | 23:22 |
| caudex | chep, where do I find my-layout-name? | 23:22 |
| ntr0py | Is it possible to run Ubuntu from uSDHC card as boot disk? | 23:22 |
| Priest | usr13: i am looking at the instructions page | 23:23 |
| BenBE | trism Thanks. Seems to work. | 23:23 |
| Chepoll | caudex: I usually google for it. what did you say you called it? | 23:23 |
| Jordan_U | ntr0py: If your BIOS will boot from it, and it's large enough, yes. | 23:23 |
| gmachine_24 | so I managed to install the 11.04 beta like . . . a week before they released the official version. I'm guessing I should just install the 'official' version . . . ?? any reasons not to? | 23:23 |
| Priest | usr13: i did the verify... i have not gone further because i have gotten so many responses here(thank you) that i am trying to figure out what to do next | 23:23 |
| usr13 | Priest: You see the example right below where it says; "Now that everything is mounted, we just need to reinstall GRUB by specifying the correct directory and the correct drive name" ? | 23:23 |
| Jordan_U | !final | gmachine_24 | 23:23 |
| ubottu | gmachine_24: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Natty and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 11.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. | 23:23 |

| caudex | chep, yes Thinkpad t-42 | 23:24 |
| KM0201 | hihihi100: any particular reason 2.3.6 won't work? | 23:24 |
| Priest | usr13: uhmm that is not what is next on the page i am reading | 23:24 |
| usr13 | Priest: It says: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sd So substitute /media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 with YOUR mount point. | 23:24 |
| Chepoll | caudex: let me look into it | 23:24 |
| caudex | chep, okay thanks, meantime I'll look around usr/X11 | 23:25 |
| usr13 | Priest: I lopped off the "a" should say /dev/sda | 23:25 |

| caudex | oops etc/X11 | 23:25 |
| KM0201 | hihihi100: ok.. | 23:25 |
| Priest | usr13: how do i know what to use for the substitution? | 23:26 |
| Jordan_U | ntr0py: ext4, if you're really paranoid about extra writes then ext4 with journaling disabled. Also, you should set swappiness to 0 (if you plan to have a swap partition at all). | 23:26 |

| usr13 | Priest: Basically what you do is get the linux partition mounted, (the one that has root (/) on it), and use that mount point after the designation --root-directory= | 23:26 |

| ErezCohen | Hello, any one know how to solve the "ignoring unknown interface" issue? in ubuntu 10.04, the network connection worked great, then sudenly i lost all the NICs and when i try to restart the network service i get this message, when i look in the interfaces file there is only "auto lo and iface lo inet loopback", ps i installed ssh on the machine, but i don't think that is the problem....i couldn't find any real answer over the web fo | 23:28 |
| ErezCohen | it.....please help | 23:28 |
| raven_ | 11.04 mobile network does not connect any more | 23:28 |
| caudex | chep the problem is that I can't set keyboard prefs to default. The system won't accept it. | 23:28 |
| Priest | usr13: okay... just got it typed in and it spun up the cd..... gave me "installation finished. no error reported" | 23:28 |
| Chepoll | caudex: well what was the default? and what is it now? | 23:28 |
| ntr0py | Jordan_U: i have 2GB ram. Would it make sense to use JFFS2 or similar instead of ext4 | 23:28 |
| usr13 | Priest: That should do it then. | 23:29 |
| ntr0py | ? | 23:29 |
| html_inprogress | anyone need help? | 23:29 |
| usr13 | Priest: reboot and see what happens. | 23:29 |
| Priest | usr13: restarting and giving it a go then | 23:29 |
| Chepoll | ErezCohen: how did you connect to internet before? | 23:29 |
| ErezCohen | wireless NIC | 23:29 |
| caudex | chep, It could be that using xmodmap to define fn key and back page (dedicated thinkpad hardware keys) did something | 23:29 |

| caudex | chep now Alt CapsLock Alt-Control are mixed up. | 23:30 |
| Chepoll | ErezCohen: you connected through wired or wireless? | 23:30 |
| caudex | chep also alt-win key behavior | 23:30 |
| ErezCohen | i don't understand why it happend but i read over the web that i am not the first, and wireless | 23:30 |
| Chepoll | caudex: yeah, I see, do a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data" | 23:31 |
| usr13 | Priest: But I don't do it that way at all. I manually mount the filesystem. I use sudo fdisk -l to see where it is, (I'll know by looking at that output) and then I make a mount point and mount it like this. mkdir /mnt/sda ; mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/sda4 ; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/sda4 /dev/sda | 23:31 |
| Alan | How do you exclude directories from the file indexer? there are lots of things i really don't want coming up in the unity panel when i start searching.... | 23:31 |
| SuperLag | meganerd: hah. Got an Atheros card, but trying to put it in to Master mode gives me an error. I'm told I need to use hostapd instead. Does that sound right? | 23:31 |
| caudex | chep okay | 23:31 |

| raven_ | 11.04 mobile network does not connect any more | 23:32 |
| usr13 | Priest: Of course, youll have to put sudo in front of all that.... but you get the idea | 23:32 |
| ErezCohen | Chepoll, sorry, sure :-) | 23:32 |
| SuperLag | meganerd: don't remember if you recall our conversation about me trying to make a desktop a wireless AP | 23:32 |
| Priest | usr13: okay..... we got a purple screen, a black screen and then it loaded just ubuntu..... did not give me a windows option now | 23:32 |
| caudex | chep, console-data is not installed | 23:32 |
| Chepoll | ErezCohen: okay, firstly, is the network-manager applet working? the one that scans for the wireless and whatnot | 23:33 |
| raven_ | 11.04 mobile network does not connect any more | 23:33 |
| Chepoll | caudex: sudo apt-get install console-data | 23:33 |
| usr13 | Priest: Ok well, if it boots ubuntu, you can fix it so that it boots windows too. It's easier from Ubuntu to tweak grub | 23:33 |
| spankbot | anyone worked w/ MOTS on Ubuntu before? | 23:33 |
| Priest | usr13: alright.... most of the way there then | 23:33 |

| FloodBot1 | raven_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:34 |
| caudex | chep, will apt-get work off of the cd or does that box need to be on web? | 23:34 |
| Jordan_U | ntr0py: I don't think that jffs2 works with block devices, and you are almost certainly wrong about there being no wear leveling (how good the wear leveling is is another question). | 23:34 |
| ErezCohen | Chepoll, i think every thing is working, what i am getting from the dasktop is i can see all the wireless networks around me...and i can connect to them, just not getting any ip from that | 23:34 |
| Trel | clear | 23:34 |
| Trel | err, oops | 23:34 |
| Priest | robin0800: just type in what you posted, that is all? | 23:34 |

| raven_ | 11.04 mobile network does not connect any more | 23:35 |
| Chepoll | caudex: if you're on the web it would just work right away | 23:35 |
| Chepoll | caudex: else, hm | 23:35 |
| robin0800 | Priest, yes watch if it finds windows | 23:35 |
| caudex | chep, I'm not. This is w32 desktop | 23:35 |
| Glycan | Is it unreasonable to think that when booting from "HDD TOSHIBA MK2035GSS- (S1)", it boots from the first partition? | 23:35 |

| ntr0py | Jordan_U: so you still suggest ext4? | 23:36 |
| azmei | Hey all! Just a quick question. How do I find out which ./configure-options were used to compile the precompiled apt-get packages with? | 23:36 |
| Chepoll | caudex: wait, does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file say anything about your keyboard? | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | ntr0py: Yes. | 23:36 |
| azmei | I want to compile Apache2 from source to change a few settings from the precompiled package. | 23:36 |
| anonymity | been trying to figure out how to connect to other places, say another room, on another server I guess. any ideas? | 23:36 |
| Priest | robin0800: found linux, initrd, memtest86+ image, and vista loader...... said done | 23:36 |
| Glycan | If it's not, how do I put GRUB on it, whithout a working live? | 23:36 |
| Chepoll | ErezCohen: and it stays at that point, and doesn't progress, right? | 23:37 |
| robin0800 | Priest, reboot to test | 23:37 |

| Jordan_U | Glycan: Your question is not clear. What are you actually trying to do? | 23:39 |
| Glycan | (Let it be known that there are not one, but two working U partitions) | 23:39 |
| meganerd | SuperLag: seems to ring a bell, I don't really remember the specifics | 23:39 |
| meganerd | SuperLag: your card did not support AP mode? | 23:39 |
| ntr0py | Jordan_U: thx i will give it a try. Is there a recommended way to prevent too much writes (no journal, no atime, maybe preformat it with "live usb image" via usb-creator)? | 23:39 |
| Glycan | I'm tryign to get to a working ubuntu. My normal bootloader (e.g. windows) doesn't work, becouse I accedently deleted it. | 23:39 |
| ErezCohen | Chepoll, ok, 10x anyway, as i said, i read over the web that many poeple has the same problem, wierd no one know how to fix it and what do they do, install all the ubuntu from scratch? | 23:39 |
| supercom32 | I installed 11.04 and I noted that the indicator applet has big gaps between the icons. Is there a way to reduce the space? | 23:40 |

| Jordan_U | !grubrestore | Glycan | 23:41 |
| caudex | chep. /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't exist | 23:41 |

| ErezCohen | gnome is only the desktop, i don't care about the desktop... | 23:41 |
| Alan | what is the correct way to disable "recently used" documents? | 23:42 |
| ErezCohen | Chepoll, sorry, how do i fix it in shell? | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | !grub | Glycan | 23:42 |

| Priest | robin0800: thank you much | 23:43 |
| Priest | usr13: thank you much!!!!!!!!!!! | 23:43 |
| Chepoll | ErezCohen: Use "wicd-curses" in that case. is it installed? | 23:43 |
| winxordie | anyone? It's absurd that I can't burn ISOs because there are 0/0 bytes being used. | 23:43 |

| Chepoll | caudex: okay, just, lets start over. do you remember in which files you have written "xmodmap" ? | 23:50 |
| Jordan_U | spectre51_: It wouldn't make much of a difference as long as you use the +mac iso. | 23:50 |
| caudex | chepoll, yes ~/.xmodmaprc | 23:50 |
| VE2EBP | chepoll.. which app is that? | 23:50 |
| Chepoll | VE2EBP: I am sorry? I don't know what you're talking about | 23:51 |
| robin0800 | caudex, ~ means home | 23:51 |
| caudex | chepoll, I could even paste the 8 lines of it here if that is not bad etiquette. | 23:51 |
| VE2EBP | Chepoll, oh you said you are using a terminal-like irc client? | 23:51 |
| spectre51_ | Jordan_U: I don't see that +mac iso on the download page do you have a link? | 23:51 |
| Chepoll | caudex: no, don't need to paste. Just walk me through them. tell me what you've done | 23:52 |

| xbmc | I have an issue where ubuntu fails to load graphics but if I drop to tty session and startx it loads fine. How can I fix this so I dont have to start X from TTY everytime? | 23:54 |
| Chepoll | caudex: just say "I mapped "this key" to "that key" and then "this key to that key" and so on | 23:54 |

| Chepoll | caudex: so can you just comment all the lines in that file( add a # to the beginning of each line) and then restart your X-session (ctrl-alt-backspace and on) | 23:57 |
| zzecool | introuble, yes its called arp poisoning | 23:58 |
| Maarten | well... I tried 11.04, and was really dissapointed in Unity... I just couldn't get used to it. I just wiped that partition and installed Debian 6... got the NVidia drivers and Compiz going already, Iceweasel 4.... just need to see about replacing OpenOffice with LibreOffice. I just seem to like it so much better then that Unity... ugh! | 23:58 |
| introuble | zzecool can you elaborate | 23:58 |
| spectre51_ | Jordan_U: even though it shows for 64-bit (AMD64) and not intel? | 23:58 |

| zzecool | what exacly do you wanna know? | 23:58 |
| Jordan_U | spectre51_: Yes. AMD64 is the standard created by AMD and used by both AMD and Intel. | 23:58 |
