| giannis__ | ok | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | giannis__: First, move to a different tab (like the one with network messages) so that you don't accidentily send messages here. | 00:13 |
| giannis__ | i do | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | giannis__: Obviously not as we have now seen two messages from you that were meant for nickserv. | 00:14 |

| mikeyfbi | is there a program for ubuntu that can ping multiple internet address to check if you have internet connection, say every 15 seconds, and keep a log? | 00:17 |

| santina | why when I plug a usb pendrive natty doesn't automount it? /var/log/syslog shows informations about the pen drive. I can mount it manually. | 00:17 |
| terry | santina check fstab | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | mikeyfbi: you can write a script to ping as you wish, then cron the script. Make sure you add: -c 4 to ping so it pings only 4 times (ping by default goes forever) | 00:18 |
| terry | use sudo nano /etc/fstab | 00:19 |
| mikeyfbi | ActionParsnip, i wish i knew how :P | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | mikeyfbi: you can have the script perform logic based on the result of the ping test (like write to a log file or email or flash an alert using notify-send) | 00:19 |
| cjaredrun | ActionParsnip i imagine you could make it take action based on response as well | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | mikeyfbi: research into bash, its very powerful | 00:19 |

| ErezCohen | Chipzzz sure...i know...i will open a port for the ssh connection..not a problem...80 is for http, not ssh | 00:55 |
| Sietai | how do I configure a channel? | 00:55 |
| caudex | chepoll, okay the same popup comes up as does from the top menu | 00:55 |
| Sietai | like, configure the port and channel? | 00:55 |
| KNUBBIG | ErezCohen: you have to forward port 22 and then you should be able to ssh your server through the internet | 00:56 |
| Limada | SSH, port 22. | 00:56 |
| schelcj | so if i remap alt-f1 in unity to something else the launcher still activates and the action occurs. | 00:56 |
| Chipzzz | ErezCohen, once you enable ssh on the server & open the port in the firewall, consider using an nx server, which allows you to open an X session through the ssh connection | 00:56 |
| schelcj | this expected behavior? | 00:56 |
| Jasonn | What is a load average, and what is a normal one? | 00:56 |
| Chepoll | caudex: okay then lets manually edit those files | 00:56 |

| caudex | chepoll, okay | 00:57 |

| bikcmp | if i spelled that right anyway. | 01:25 |
| KNUBBIG | bikcmp: I think you did, but I don't know an Ubuntu pendant, sorry | 01:26 |
| dell | why ubottu not say anything？ | 01:26 |
| bikcmp | KNUBBIG: yeah, that sucks | 01:26 |

| milamber | !details | slak | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | slak: ext3 and ext4 don't need defragging | 01:46 |

| friis | Hi, can anyone help me. I have just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and it says my wireless networks is disabled in hardware switch. How do I turn it on? | 01:46 |
| slak | i run make and it gets along way through it | 01:47 |
| ThisDB | hi, im getting a message that my hardware doesnt support unity, its 2 brand new nvidia GTX460s, what can i do about this? | 01:47 |
| slak | then it says fsck failed please manually run degrament to compile this source. | 01:47 |

| slak | just compile this tarball my friend gave me... | 01:48 |
| Un-Dead | hi guys, im running ubuntu netbook 10.10 and seem to be having incredibly slow wifi connection once the netbook is closed and re-oppened about 3 to 4 minuted for the wifi to connect to the hotspot | 01:48 |
| soreau | slak: Why? | 01:48 |
| slak | uh | 01:49 |
| slak | its a really cool source code | 01:49 |
| Stryker | l1nfr4nk7, that is because many people are on the same ip, as tor directs u thru another computer's internet. pls do not try to log on anything while using tor, the exit node can steal ur password | 01:49 |
| slak | of some private stuff.. and ive never seen an error like this before | 01:49 |
| soreau | slak: From the information you've provided, this has nothing to do with ubuntu | 01:49 |
| slak | but im on ubuntu | 01:50 |
| slak | so doesnt everthing have to do with ubuntu? | 01:50 |
| soreau | no. | 01:50 |
| bazhang | slak, NOPE | 01:50 |
| slak | i mean.. if i run a youtube video of some fat bitch dildoing herself.. im still doing it ON UBUNTU | 01:50 |
| slak | you virgin nerds make no sense | 01:50 |
| Stryker | slak sounds like you are opening it wrong | 01:50 |
| Un-Dead | anyone? | 01:51 |
| soreau | Thought I detected a trollometer fluctuation | 01:51 |
| bigmack83 | when i run 'source ~/.bashrc' i get the error "No such file or directory" when the .bashrc file is clearly there in my home directory with the proper permisssions. anyone else having this issue in natty? | 01:51 |
| Jordan_U | Stryker: That's not true. If you're using SSL/TLS at least (which you should be). | 01:51 |
| Stryker | Jordan_U, true | 01:51 |
| Un-Dead | if it helps i dont belive its a hardware issue, as on my windows partition the wireless is very fast | 01:51 |
| Un-Dead | just seems to lag very bad on the netbook 10.10 | 01:51 |
| Stryker | my trollometer's needle just broke | 01:51 |
| Jordan_U | Stryker: An exit node cannot steal your password if you login via https or any other authentication that can actually be considered secure. | 01:52 |
| soreau | Un-Dead: So it's fine at first until you close and reopen the tablet? | 01:52 |
| Un-Dead | correct | 01:52 |
| Stryker | *cheap dollar store trollometer | 01:52 |
| soreau | Un-Dead: Sounds like a possible driver issue. Which wifi chip is it? | 01:52 |
| bazhang | Stryker, please stop the chit chat | 01:52 |
| Un-Dead | im not sure its an LT2030u gateway | 01:52 |
| Un-Dead | im sorta an ubuntu noob sorry | 01:53 |
| Un-Dead | linux noob* | 01:53 |
| Un-Dead | if it helps in order to get the wireless to work i had to plug the ethernet cable in and run aptitude update | 01:54 |

| ubuntuguy | Can't find it | 02:10 |
| B0BBY | configuration is another isue | 02:10 |
| FisherP | I'm running natty... | 02:10 |
| B0BBY | lol | 02:10 |
| FisherP | had to get rid of unity though | 02:10 |
| ActionParsnip | B0BBY: works fine here on 2 systems | 02:10 |
| B0BBY | hehe, unity is the major culprit. | 02:10 |
| quackaduck | ubuntuguy: it should be under preferences or administration | 02:10 |
| nit-wit | same here ActionParsnip | 02:10 |
| FisherP | i didn't like it for the desktop (prob just not use to it) | 02:10 |
| flowbee | folks. i am trying to run a script in ~/bin which is in my path. if i run: 'get-shit-done' within any directory i get the usage message that i must run it as root. however when i do 'sudo get-shit-done' i see: command not found. what do i do? | 02:10 |
| ActionParsnip | B0BBY: log in to gnome classic then... | 02:10 |
| FisherP | it's good on my wife's netbook though... perfect interface | 02:11 |
| ubuntuguy | I'm using unity | 02:11 |
| nit-wit | cube and wobbly windows and all | 02:11 |
| bazhang | B0BBY, this is not the channel for that, choose classic | 02:11 |
| B0BBY | ActionParsnip: was using it for netbook. and unity basically took up space on a limited screen. | 02:11 |
| B0BBY | classic was giving blank screen. | 02:11 |
| sloucher | sudo ./getshitdone | 02:11 |
| ActionParsnip | flowbee: in |/.bashrc add the line: export PATH=$PATH:~/bin | 02:11 |
| B0BBY | no menus, no nothing, alt-f2 doing nothing. | 02:11 |
| ActionParsnip | flowbee: ~/.bashrc | 02:11 |
| flowbee | ActionParsnip, thats already there | 02:12 |
| FisherP | bobby did u do an upgrade? | 02:12 |
| FisherP | or fresh install | 02:12 |
| Chuchulain | hi all ...anyone have a software preference for blogging in ubuntu, and why? | 02:12 |
| ActionParsnip | flowbee: then run: source ~/.bashrc | 02:12 |
| B0BBY | FisherP: did upgrade from 10.04, to 10.10 then 11.04 | 02:12 |
| ActionParsnip | flowbee: to add the new settings | 02:12 |
| nit-wit | Chuchulain, not the correct channe | 02:12 |
| B0BBY | rsync for teh w1nz. | 02:12 |
| nit-wit | Chuchulain, #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:13 |
| FisherP | yeah when i upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 it did horrible things to both classic and std interface | 02:13 |
| B0BBY | just backed home and reinstalled | 02:13 |
| flowbee | thats already in the path for me as a user; i think its not finding the command when sudo is run | 02:13 |
| Chuchulain | nit-wit, ne idea what is...? it's ubuntu specific/ | 02:13 |
| Chuchulain | ? | 02:13 |
| FisherP | i pretty much deleted all the gnome and gtk settigns | 02:13 |
| FisherP | and started again | 02:13 |
| FisherP | works ok now | 02:13 |
| nit-wit | Chuchulain, this is the Natty channel not linux | 02:13 |
| hexdump_ | Excuse me folks, I can't remember does how do you check what type of video card you have? | 02:13 |
| FisherP | (touch wood) | 02:13 |
| B0BBY | FisherP: lol, yeah motsly the unity was an issue. on limited screen you don't want something that wouldn't just go away. | 02:13 |
| josuf107 | flowbee: it's probably not in root's path | 02:13 |
| B0BBY | FisherP: they said it would autohide in 11.04 but it NEVER loaded. | 02:13 |
| B0BBY | lol | 02:13 |

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 02:14 |
| Chuchulain | nit-wit, k, so where is the general ubuntu channel now? | 02:14 |
| josuf107 | flowbee: you should adjust the permissions of it so that you can execute it | 02:14 |
| FisherP | bobby very odd, my wife's upgraded just fine | 02:14 |
| hexdump_ | i like men | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | B0BBY: there are guides to make it hide, log in to gnome classic and unity dosn't load | 02:14 |
| FisherP | bobby it was running 10.10 | 02:14 |
| nit-wit | xangua, point it at the correct user | 02:14 |
| flowbee | josuf107, i can execute it but it requires root for some stuff with networking it does | 02:14 |
| B0BBY | ActionParsnip: as I was mentioning earlier classes wouldn't load anything. blank screen. couldn't alt-f2. | 02:14 |
| hexdump_ | Damnit my buddy put that I loved men on here. | 02:15 |
| B0BBY | ActionParsnip: *classic | 02:15 |
| FisherP | bobby did u set it up to auto login? | 02:15 |
| newbieneedshelp | Hi all, does anyone here know how to use dual monitors working with an nVidia GPU in Ubuntu 11.04? I've googled it but i'm getting very weird results (truncated screens, etc, had to restore the backup of the xconf file several times). the nvidia "x server configuration" utility also doesn't seem to work too well. any clue? | 02:15 |
| newbieneedshelp | thanks in advance! | 02:15 |
| B0BBY | FisherP: nah. I don't really setup auto login. | 02:15 |
| hexdump_ | Sorry does anyone remember how to check and see what video card I have? | 02:15 |
| B0BBY | hexdump_: lspci | 02:15 |
| josuf107 | flowbee: why keep it in your home directory then? | 02:16 |
| B0BBY | FisherP: 10.04 wokrs. so no need to really keep upgrading. | 02:16 |
| josuf107 | flowbee: you can always sudo /home/your_name/bin/script.sh | 02:16 |
| B0BBY | so put it to that. | 02:16 |
| hexdump_ | Bobby: thanks man. Duh I totally forgot. I can do lsusb and so on. man I've been away for quite some time. I appreciate it. | 02:16 |
| FisherP | bobby yeah, did u re-install? to 10.04? | 02:16 |
| flowbee | josuf107, i know i want to run it from any dir | 02:16 |
| ohsix | newbieneedshelp: ask them to add randr support ;] | 02:17 |
| newbieneedshelp | oshix: is it a known issue? that would be a bummer | 02:17 |

| B0BBY | FisherP: 'coz officially downgrading is not supported. | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | newbieneedshelp: log into gnome classic, may help | 02:17 |
| FisherP | bobby thot so... and 10.04 doesn't use unity at all right? just classic... | 02:17 |
| FisherP | bobby that's why my wife's upgrade went smoothly.. she was already running unity | 02:18 |
| ubuntuguy | Evertime I log off in ubuntu 11.04, I go to the usual screne, but everytime I type in my correct password, it tells me that it's wrong. And sometimes, it doesn't block out my password. I would have to restart my whole system. Any suggestions? | 02:18 |
| B0BBY | FisherP: it has a netbook interface and classes. the netbook interface is like old look. but it works great. | 02:18 |
| B0BBY | FisherP: it has the on desktop application browser thing.... | 02:18 |
| wolter | how can I stop bootchart from running at startup if this fails http://blog.learnadmin.com/ and without doing a chmod -x ? | 02:19 |
| FisherP | bobby yeah i like the eesypeasy interface.. that was the first one i looked at for my wife's netbook, but then i noticed the 10.10 unity interface, the distro had more up to date support for the eeepc R101 | 02:19 |
| newbieneedshelp | ActionParsnip: Hi, I'm not really sure what that mean; does that mean not using the new Unity UI? | 02:19 |
| FisherP | bobby did u try a live usb of 11.04? | 02:20 |
| newbieneedshelp | In the past I managed to get dual monitors with Xinerma to work on a different computer also using nVidia but I had to disable the "compiz" feature, which was disappointing | 02:20 |
| josuf107 | flowbee: sudo runs setuid, so it's effectively root | 02:21 |
| S4RY | ubuntuguy i whould Boot into recovery mode (from the Grub prompt at the very start of booting), and then run "passwd <myrusername>" .. that should set a new password. | 02:21 |
| ActionParsnip | newbieneedshelp: its worth it, just tto test. I've heard people having issue with dual monitor and unity | 02:21 |
| josuf107 | flowbee: it's probably best to just put the script in /bin | 02:21 |
| B0BBY | FisherP: nah, is it really nice? is that why you ask? | 02:21 |
| newbieneedshelp | ActionParsnip: can you point to an article explaining how to go about it? | 02:22 |
| B0BBY | FisherP: I just figured 10.04 was working nice, why bother. | 02:22 |
| newbieneedshelp | I really am a newb, sorry :) | 02:22 |
| josuf107 | flowbee: what you could do is alter your script to raise its permissions on its own | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !classic | newbieneedshelp | 02:22 |
| ubottu | newbieneedshelp: 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. | 02:22 |
| Nozy | I like 11.4 | 02:22 |
| Nozy | think it better then 10.4 | 02:23 |
| newbieneedshelp | Thank you! | 02:23 |
| newbieneedshelp | well, I guess I'll try that, so I'll need to log out, | 02:23 |
| Nozy | like that it gets out of my way | 02:23 |
| FisherP | bobby well i think.. unless u're a power user it's pretty good the unity bar moves out of the way and the apps are integrated into the top launch bar... menus go up the top.. not all apps, but enough | 02:23 |
| newbieneedshelp | maybe I'll be back later, thanks! | 02:23 |

| gigaclon | I was trying to remove Ubuntu by reformating the partition as NTFS, but I get a unknown filesystem error and a grub rescue prompt. How can I get it to boot to my windows partition? | 02:24 |
| Nemosis | can anyone point me toward a general ubuntu channel, specifically to garner opinions about software choices? | 02:24 |
| quackaduck | FisherP: I don't think you can use ubuntu/linux without being a power user...lol | 02:24 |
| tensorpudding | Nemosis: you can talk about it in #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:25 |
| FisherP | quackaduck: my wife, mum, and sister all use k/ubuntu and love it.... (i'm tech support) | 02:25 |
| FisherP | quackaduck: and none of them are power users | 02:25 |
| FisherP | :D | 02:25 |
| B0BBY | FisherP: I like the 10.04 way of doing it. | 02:25 |
| renegaid | has there ever been an ubuntu release that didn't break something | 02:25 |
| FisherP | bobby cool | 02:26 |
| renegaid | wireless no work with 11.04 | 02:26 |
| B0BBY | FisherP: it's nice to see the app have it's own icon instead of unity trying to do windows 7 things. | 02:26 |
| tensorpudding | renegaid: anecdotal experience points to yes | 02:26 |
| LAcan | renegaid, u using network manager? | 02:26 |
| FisherP | renegaid: it does, but what hardware do u have? | 02:26 |
| B0BBY | it's like kde, the minute they turn to change their whole interace to look like vista, windows changes to 7 and kde already looks old. | 02:26 |
| cypha | is there a drive emulator that can be used in linux? | 02:26 |
| B0BBY | cypha: drive emulator? | 02:26 |

| cypha | B0BBY, or do i extract a .bin file? | 02:26 |
| B0BBY | cypha: it's a cd image? | 02:26 |
| cypha | i was expecting an install | 02:26 |
| tensorpudding | renegaid: what were you using before, driver-wise? | 02:27 |
| cypha | i'm not sure | 02:27 |
| renegaid | read all sorts of work arounds online | 02:27 |
| cypha | it's just a .bin | 02:27 |
| LAcan | renegaid, are you using network manager? | 02:27 |
| B0BBY | cypha: well depends on what's in it. if it's a cd image, you miht be able to mount like iso files. | 02:27 |
| cypha | B0BBY: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/motodevstudio/download/ | 02:27 |
| renegaid | i just installed ubuntu | 02:27 |
| LAcan | renegaid, uve used ubuntu before? | 02:27 |
| cypha | B0BBY, how do i do that? | 02:27 |
| philipballew | renegaid congrats!!! | 02:28 |
| quackaduck | FisherP: lol...but you're there to fix problems in their computers :P I tried setting up 11.04 for someone else once...I don't think ubuntu is at that stage yet where you can eliminate the use of a terminal completely | 02:28 |
| B0BBY | cypha: that's a windows installer? | 02:28 |
| FisherP | well about the kde interface, I still reckon it and gnome (with compoziting) make windows look way old school, even win7 | 02:28 |
| renegaid | not on this laptop but from what i read wirless works with 10.10 but 11.04 breaks it | 02:28 |
| cypha | B0BBY, the Linux download link | 02:28 |
| cypha | for 32bit | 02:28 |
| LAcan | renegaid, does the card show up in network manager? | 02:28 |
| B0BBY | cypha: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-unix-command-run-execute-bin-files-in-linux/ | 02:28 |
| B0BBY | cypha: might be just a executable. | 02:29 |
| B0BBY | chmod a+x file; then ./file. | 02:29 |
| renegaid | it shows up in driver list but fails to enable | 02:29 |
| cypha | why isn't it double clickable!? | 02:29 |
| FisherP | quackaduck: well, once u set it up, it's fine... yeah sometimes the setup (regarding hardware) isn't perfect.. but once it's set up it's all good | 02:29 |
| kevinyoung | hi all | 02:29 |
| B0BBY | cypha: if it's not +x permitted, it might not be double clickable. | 02:29 |
| Bangkalan | When I start bind9 , there is msg "Domain service name [fail]" what's wrong? | 02:29 |
| B0BBY | cypha: go to gnome-terminal, then type in chmod a+x filename | 02:29 |
| josuf107 | flowbee: ah you know you should export PATH=$PATH:/home/whoareyou/bin | 02:29 |
| FisherP | quackaduck: MUCH better than it used to be... my wife, sister, and mother don't play or add programs, or change the system much.. so when it's working, it works. | 02:30 |

| quackaduck | FisherP: Yeah, that's true. Until ubuntu does an update and breaks something lol. | 02:31 |
| B0BBY | FisherP: lol, that's where you create a system image, and teach them how to restore. | 02:31 |
| FisherP | :D | 02:31 |
| B0BBY | FisherP: but if they like kubuntu,that's solving the windows thing. | 02:31 |

| newbieneedshelp | Gnome Classic didn't help :\ still get a truncated screen | 02:32 |
| josuf107 | flowbee: nice work. still, it's interesting | 02:32 |
| quackaduck | FisherP: I run minecraft completely fine with compositing, though my system overheats sometimes and reach 100 degrees | 02:33 |
| newbieneedshelp | no dual monitor is a real blow :/ might force me to go back to Vista | 02:33 |
| newbieneedshelp | that would be tragic | 02:33 |
| cypha | B0BBY, i've got a couple stupid questions too | 02:33 |
| B0BBY | cypha: shoot. | 02:33 |
| FisherP | quackaduck: ouch.. | 02:33 |
| cypha | B0BBY, i can't get the terminal to go to the directory the downloaded file is in | 02:33 |
| KM0201 | newbieneedshelp: did you not set up a dual boot system | 02:33 |
| Bangkalan | rndc 127.0.0.1#953 = connection refused | 02:33 |
| B0BBY | cypha: do you know what folder it's in? | 02:33 |
| B0BBY | cypha: if you used firefox, it should be in ~/Downloads/ | 02:33 |
| cypha | at the terminal prompt, I type "dir" and i see: | 02:33 |
| cypha | Desktop Downloads examples.desktopPictures Templates | 02:33 |
| cypha | Documents Dropbox MusicPublic Videos | 02:33 |
| cypha | so i type "cd downloads" | 02:34 |
| B0BBY | cypha: so type in: cd Downloads | 02:34 |
| cypha | but it says directory doesn't exist | 02:34 |
| cypha | OH YEAH | 02:34 |
| B0BBY | it's case sensitive | 02:34 |
| escott | cypha, it is case sensitive | 02:34 |
| cypha | forgot about that | 02:34 |
| cypha | thanks | 02:34 |
| newbieneedshelp | KM0201: nope cause I wanted to format the Vista partition anyhow, but I really didn't intend switching OSes anyhow, I wanted Ubuntu to be the only OS | 02:34 |
| B0BBY | :) | 02:34 |
| B0BBY | once you type Dow, you can hit tab it will auto comp. | 02:34 |
| escott | cypha, you can make it not case sensitive with the following addition to your bashrc shopt -s cdspell | 02:34 |
| KM0201 | newbieneedshelp: well, when you're new, not setting up a dual boot system, is a surefire way to reinstall windows within the week | 02:34 |
| B0BBY | same with filename. | 02:34 |
| escott | cypha, that way you can type cd down[TAB] and it will correct it to Downloads | 02:35 |
| cypha | B0BBY, how can I autocomplete the filename? | 02:35 |
| newbieneedshelp | I have some experience, my office machine is dual booted, everything works perfectly I just can't get the dual monitors to work | 02:35 |
| B0BBY | type in a few letters then press tab | 02:35 |
| B0BBY | the tab key | 02:35 |
| cypha | didn't work | 02:35 |
| cypha | oh | 02:35 |
| cypha | did now | 02:35 |
| B0BBY | you gotta type in enough for it to be able to complete it. | 02:35 |
| newbieneedshelp | I didn't realize it was simply a big no-no with nvidia drivers :\ | 02:35 |
| B0BBY | otherwise you press twice and it gives you the options it can use. | 02:35 |
| B0BBY | nvidia drivers tend to be better in linux than the ATI ones. | 02:36 |
| B0BBY | so I hear. I use nvidia. | 02:36 |
| newbieneedshelp | I dunno, their "x server config utility" thing does a pretty poor job so far, many configurations are "corrupt" and I need to restore my xconf backup. | 02:37 |
| cypha | escott, B0BBY, thanks for the help | 02:37 |
| B0BBY | cool, you get it running? | 02:37 |

I've god wubi and the 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04 in the same folder... started the installer , everything unpacks, computer reboots - shows 3... 2... 1... ubuntu screen for a second and than just a scrambled display of my screen , as follows : http://i54.tinypic.com/2hn1gyc.jpg | 02:45 |
| freak4pc | Anyone else have experienced this perhaps? | 02:45 |
| izinucs | ok.. how come when I hit "super" and enter filemanager or nautilus nothing shows? | 02:45 |
| newbieneedshelp | s4ry: well, it looks like it's set up correctly but the "additional driver page" has that text listed (that is 'activated but not currently in use') I'm really not Linux savvy enough to understand whether this is significant or not | 02:46 |
| newbieneedshelp | oh well, I guess I'll just keep googling it up, at least I know how to restore the defaults now | 02:46 |
| freak4pc | Hey' I am having a problem with installing Ubuntu on a Dell laptop : http://i54.tinypic.com/2hn1gyc.jpg | 02:46 |
| Rehan | I have an ubuntu 11.04 install on a flash usb disk. How can I make the grub loader on that disk give me the options of the OS on the flash usb as well as the options on the hard disk of any computer that I plug it into? Thank you. | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Rehan: you'll need to add entries in the grub2 config files, then run: sudo update-grub | 02:48 |
| S4RY | newbieneedshelp , i meant to ask to see if nvidia glx is on the list. the glx might do it. take a look http://www.ubuntugeek.com/dual-monitors-with-nvidia.html | 02:48 |
| eekTheCat | What does Ubuntu Firefox Modifications do? | 02:48 |

| izinucs | newbieneedshelp: restart to activate | 02:48 |
| Rehan | ActionParsnip: thanks, I know how to do that but that doesn't solve the problem I'm trying to solve... | 02:48 |
| Rehan | ActionParsnip: I want grub2 to probe for new OS's on its own | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Rehan: maybe: sudo apt-get install os-prober; sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub | 02:49 |
| escott | Rehan, i'm not sure that you can do what you want | 02:50 |
| izinucs | Rehan: the link is good.. you might look at "chainloading" or boot to the usb live and sudo update-grub.. it should search and find them | 02:50 |
| Rehan | ActionParsnip: i have os-prober already installed, but i don't want to have to go to a new computer, log in, then run update-grub or os-prober. Seeing if there's a solution for it on bootup | 02:50 |
| newbieneedshelp | s4ry: when running sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx I get error "E: Package 'nvidia-glx' has no installation candidate" - so I don't know how to proceed with that article | 02:50 |
| bigmack83 | i tried installing the proprietary driver for my nvidia geforce 8800 gtx, and it installed fine, no issues. but after i restart the computer freezes as soon as gnome is loaded.have to force reboot.i enter recovery and use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and on next boot it works fine. but once i reboot again gnome freezes immediately. | 02:50 |
| escott | Rehan, grub2 would need to have a usb driver and initialize that usb system, scan for devices, etc... | 02:50 |
| bigmack83 | unintstalling the proprietary driver seems to have no effect on this | 02:50 |
| gantrixx | I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04. I noticed that the X-windows select-and-paste no longer works. Has anyone else noticed this? | 02:50 |
| Rehan | escott: initialize the usb system? Doesn't it already do that if i'm booting from the USB and seeing grub? | 02:51 |
| === tase is now known as Tase | ||
| escott | Rehan, i thought you were booting from hard drive... you are booting from usb and want to boot the hard drive? | 02:52 |
| bigmack83 | also looking into /etc/X11 there is no xorg.conf, only xorg.cong.backup which seems to be the version that was borked. anyone know how i can fix this? otherwise i have to reconfigure on every boot | 02:52 |
| usr13 | bigmack83: What video card do you have? | 02:52 |
| escott | Rehan, have you added entries to grub.conf? | 02:53 |
| bigmack83 | nvidia geforce 8800 gtx | 02:53 |
| S4RY | newbieneedshelp: but i won't urge for the nvidia-glx , we might find another method as a workaround. | 02:53 |
| Rehan | escott: i have an ubuntu install on my USB, with grub2 loaded on that. I want to be able to take that USB and plug it into some other computer and have grub give me the option to boot the ubuntu install on the USB AND the option to boot to whatever OS that computer has on its hard drive (windows, ubuntu, whatever). | 02:53 |
| S4RY | newbieneedshelp: ah , there is a differ version for glx. | 02:53 |
| usr13 | bigmack83: Have you installed the nvidia driver for it? Or are you content in using the OpenSource one? | 02:53 |
| escott | Rehan, you should just be able to copy the grub.cfg entries to your usb sticks grub.cfg | 02:54 |
| bigmack83 | there is 2 proprietary options and on foss verison. i tried the recommended proprietary one. | 02:54 |
| Rehan | escott: the grub.cfg entries from which computer? | 02:54 |
| bigmack83 | i dont really care which version as long as it works and it will let me run desktop effects | 02:54 |
| usr13 | bigmack83: Ok then, you probably need to run nvidia-settings | 02:54 |
| Rehan | escott: i don't think you're understanding my question, probably due to me being terrible at explaining what I'm trying to do | 02:55 |
| newbieneedshelp | S4RY: I apologize I'm not sure I'm following :( | 02:55 |
| bigmack83 | its uninstalled right now. i opened up the settings panel from the admin menu | 02:55 |
| FiReSTaRT | stupid natty-related question.. if i have a package that opens and then automatically minimizes into the notification area, how do i get to the open instance in unity? | 02:55 |
| Rehan | escott: i want to be able to come to your house, plug in my USB flash drive into your computer and have grub automatically show my OS and your OS and let me choose between the two | 02:55 |
| newbieneedshelp | maybe I should read this article : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaMultiMonitors | 02:56 |
| Rehan | without me logging in ever before to your system and doing anything with update-grub | 02:56 |
| bigmack83 | right now no driver is installed and it works fine (no desktop effects/compiz/unity) and i know the next time i boot i will have to go into recovery mode and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg else it will crash on gnome loading | 02:56 |
| S4RY | newbieneedshelp: scratch that nvidia-glx method. | 02:56 |
| usr13 | bigmack83: I think you can run desktop effects either way, but if you have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf and you want to run the proprietary Nvidia driver, then you need to run nvidia-settings so that it will configure and write a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. | 02:56 |
| bigmack83 | this happened only after i got the driver, but now happend whether its installed or not | 02:56 |

| S4RY | newbieneedshelp: that what i was looking for , an Ubuntu documentations , yes . | 02:57 |
| aeon-ltd | Rehan: not sure if it would work the way you want to, but you could use plop, boot that first then it will allow you to choose the host pc's hdd to boot (their grub) or your own usb (grub) | 02:58 |

| kneaux | usr13, i have restricted-extras. that's not the issue. k3b doesn't ship being able to read .mp3. | 03:30 |
| escott | sje, what do you mean by that | 03:30 |
| abstrakt | sje, with... rename | 03:30 |

| sadie | somebody helpeee meeeee | 03:30 |

| sje | abstrakt: rename doesn't have a recursive option | 03:31 |

| === stephen is now known as Guest84518 | ||
| sje | abstrakt: so I go to the directory, and do | 03:31 |
| kneaux | maybe it's not clear that i've never had a problem burning mp3 and the only reason this is an issue is because brasero - and this is totally an opensourcefail right here - won't deal with flac without going through some, ha ha, flak. | 03:31 |
| Stryker | your very welcome VE2EBP | 03:31 |
| sje | find . -exec rename (etc) | 03:32 |
| abstrakt | sje, probably useful to read up on find -exec | 03:32 |
| sadie | alguieeeeee | 03:32 |
| kneaux | anyway, it's working now since i downloaded the "extra codecs" package, so apparently the problem is that opensourcers keep thumbing their nose at .mp3, not that .mp3 is closed-source per se. | 03:32 |
| escott | sje, im not sure that is going to qualify as simple, but its doable with a combination of find, xargs, and sed | 03:32 |
| sje | Yeah, that isn't simple | 03:33 |
| abstrakt | blah, no xargs | 03:33 |
| abstrakt | find -exec | 03:33 |
| sje | why doesn't it have a reursive option? ugg | 03:33 |
| abstrakt | xargs kinda sucks | 03:33 |
| abstrakt | sje, so modify it to have a recursive option | 03:33 |
| izinucs | kneaux: ah.. but it is.. it's a paid codec .. when you have windows the license is paid as part of the cost of windows | 03:33 |

| unshift | lol | 03:36 |
| kneaux | usr13, well, yeah, i was trying, now i am succeeding | 03:36 |
| sje | thanks izinucs for the offer...but it's in a shell | 03:36 |
| escott | sje, you don't need a recursive option for the find, just just need to process the paths intelligently before passing them to move, and find can give you the full path | 03:36 |
| kneaux | usr13, actually i was trying to burn mp3s /and/ flacs on the same cd, and apparently that was my mistake :P | 03:36 |
| usr13 | kneaux: Ok well good. Problem solved.... | 03:36 |
| abstrakt | sje, if you're gonna complain after i give you a link to a tutorial that explains this in painfully simple and user friendly terms | 03:37 |
| abstrakt | sje, that it's not simple and easy to understand? lol wtf | 03:37 |
| abstrakt | sje, get out bro don't come at me with that garbage, stop whining and strap on a pair | 03:37 |
| cntrational | uh, wow | 03:37 |
| sje | I am reading teh tutorial. Thanks for linking me to it. It probably hasthe answer to it | 03:37 |
| cntrational | what a douche | 03:37 |
| izinucs | sje: follow the link... doing cli work is learning the syntax.. sometimes it feels like programming and can be translated there for bash scripting | 03:37 |
| kneaux | hey, abstrakt, we all know you're better than us. i may get banned for this, but it's worth it: shut your fuck. | 03:38 |
| sje | i'm just saying don't be all like "If you don't know hwo to program, you shouldnt be using linux" | 03:38 |
| escott | sje, don't worry about it, everyone has to start learning somewhere | 03:38 |
| sje | What I'm trying to find out is how to do the syntax | 03:38 |
| izinucs | sje: don't judge all the help here by one individual.. when we can help we do.. | 03:38 |
| sje | PLEASE don't be condescending...is that too much? | 03:38 |
| usr13 | sje: It's not programming, just learning some CLI options. | 03:39 |
| escott | you unfortunately choose a somewhat more complicated problem to start with | 03:39 |
| sje | escott: I'm not beginning, that's why | 03:39 |
| kneaux | huh. i didn't have package "flac" installed, yet i could read flac. | 03:39 |

| === debian is now known as Guest10867 | ||
| sje | "Why doesn't this command have a recursive option." "modify it yourself and add a patch" "I don't know how to program, though" "Then maybe you'll be moer comfortable with MAC OS" | 03:41 |
| sje | that's allI'm mad about | 03:41 |
| sje | usr13: I didn't say anything was programming | 03:42 |
| izinucs | sje: so does the -r or -R switch work? | 03:42 |
| cntrational | again, does Ubuntu support Intel GMA 3150? I've been having resolution problems and I'm wondering if it is related | 03:42 |
| sje | izinucs: no, it doesn't have that option | 03:42 |
| izinucs | sje: does no mean you tried and it didn't work? | 03:42 |
| escott | sje, yeah what he said was obnoxious, but i don't think you need recursion | 03:43 |
| sje | escott: what else would I need? | 03:43 |
| escott | sje, find is by its nature "recursive" in that it will give you all the paths to all the files beginning at the starting directory | 03:43 |
| sje | izinucs: unknown option r | 03:43 |
| izinucs | sje: k.. like escott says.. find coupled with the command might work through a pipe "|" | 03:44 |
| escott | sje, so if you can drop that full path into sed you can construct the move command, and then try to execute that | 03:44 |
| sje | I'm talking about the command "rename" btw, not "find". Find is, itself, reursive. | 03:44 |
| Khisanth | find is also unnecessary if you have a fixed depth(s) | 03:44 |
| qin | sje: find . -type f -exec rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' * {} \; (You will use that form quite often in bash, so enjoy, and carefull where you will execute it). | 03:44 |
| cntrational | this is so tiring | 03:44 |
| usr13 | I really thing some of us should realize that no one is picking on anyone else. We are exchanging information. Some times when we are breif in our comments or answers, it comes off as being condesending or rude, but it's not.

| k_sze | anybody got freenx or neatx working in Natty? | 03:45 |

| izinucs | cntrational: support for intel is built in.. open a terminal and type xrandr to see the modes that it currently recognizes | 03:46 |
| sje | and teh slash | 03:46 |
| escott | sje, the filename is placed there (with the relative path) | 03:46 |
| escott | sje, so if your path has caps this could be problematic... (maybe) | 03:47 |
| cntrational | izinucs: yes, I have done all that several times. xrandr does not recognize the correct resolution by default, X -configure does not work, and there's nothing anywhere that tells me clearly what to do | 03:47 |
| qin | sje: Yes * is overkill, my bad. | 03:47 |
| sje | well it works fine, qin | 03:48 |
| qin | sje: Overkill, not foo | 03:48 |
| izinucs | cntrational: did anyone give you the ubottu link to xrandr? or resolution? | 03:48 |
| Tweaky | alright i finally managed to start up normally and have 2 problems. 1. transmission will not run. 2. i cant move the windows on screen? | 03:48 |
| qin | sje: Peolpe calling it "find -exec" form, and it is very usefull. | 03:49 |
| cntrational | izinucs: yes | 03:49 |
| izinucs | cntrational: the resolution link should have told you how to add the correct resolution | 03:49 |
| cntrational | izinucs: yes. and they didn't work | 03:50 |
| izinucs | cntrational: once added you have to enable it .. did you verify that it was added? then did you enable it? | 03:50 |
| S4RY | Tweaky: Excuse me , i wen to grab my coffee , so have you tried all of them options. | 03:51 |
| cntrational | izinucs: added as in using xrandr --addmode? yes, I did that, that works, but it does not last persistently across sessions and causes the Unity top panel to break | 03:51 |
| plustax | im having a small issue. Whenever I close my laptop when im done with it, I come back and open it and the screen is all glitched out and Im forced to restart. | 03:52 |
| plustax | What could be the issue there? Running 11.04 | 03:52 |
| izinucs | cntrational: humm.. hang on a sec | 03:52 |
| Tweaky | S4RY: yes i did to no avail... i reinstalled the kernel and im up and running, just a couple small issues to work through | 03:52 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Are there any mirrors or known sites that host jigdo files of the full repository DVD set? | 03:52 |
| S4RY | ah , good going. | 03:53 |
| izinucs | cntrational: did you see this page? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Setting%20xrandr%20changes%20persistently | 03:53 |
| Tweaky | S4RY: in unity am i suppoes to be able to move the windows that are open? i cant seem to be able to resize or move them | 03:54 |
| izinucs | Tweaky: are they full screen? | 03:54 |
| Tweaky | S4RY: no | 03:54 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Ah NM I see there is. | 03:54 |
| cntrational | izinucs: yes. .xprofile does nothing, gdm did nothing, and my attempts to use xorg.conf didn't work | 03:54 |

| GhostWolf | anyways have a good night all | 04:18 |
| ActionParsnip | bzzzz: debian still uses dpkg too | 04:19 |
| escott | GhostWolf, well its nearly impossible that your files would be lost, but you could always end up with a system that doesn't boot, and would have to use a live cd to get access to them again | 04:19 |

| S4RY | rpk: nice try burnning the iso to that USB stick instead of wasting a bunch of CD's | 05:14 |
| coz_ | rpk, the big advantage ,, as I see it ,,other than the small size,, is that it download all "current" packages on the system...boots to a completely updated | 05:14 |

| Guest50733 | someone have exploits for windows 7? | 05:29 |
| OY1R | im heading back to 10.04 lts... | 05:29 |
| rpk | coz: I downloaded that tool and ran it on the mini, it came up with a different hash | 05:29 |
| Thenarius | interesting...dropped me into gnome rather than Unity first boot, just wanted to check because I've heard warnings about installing the nvidia drivers while the intel card is, well, enabled | 05:29 |
| Blue1 | OY1R: a lot of folks are -- do you know where I can download it from? | 05:29 |
| lapion | pfifo, try do-release-upgrade on a command-line | 05:30 |
| coz_ | rpk, for the minimal cd? | 05:30 |
| rpk | coz_ yeah, what the heck? | 05:30 |
| maujhsn | Does anybody have experience compiling "Libvisual"? Also if you are an experienced user what goodies would you "--enable"? | 05:30 |
| coz_ | rpk, whoa only 19 megs and it was corrupted? yikes | 05:30 |
| lapion | rpk, you burned the c in windows ? | 05:30 |
| OY1R | Blue1, google know, i know piratebay has it. | 05:30 |
| OY1R | knows* | 05:30 |
| pfifo | lapion, ok thanks its running | 05:30 |
| izinucs | Thenarius: it's actually jockey-gtk .. listed in software center after searching Nvidia.. it should set things up so an icon shows up by the clock.. click that and follow the prompts | 05:30 |
| rpk | lapion: yeah | 05:30 |
| Blue1 | OY1R: found it: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ | 05:31 |

| coz_ | rpk, 26b757f045d27a9b90a81bfc597f5524 | 05:32 |
| lapion | rpk, or you did not burn the disk as an iso-image but rather burned the iso image as a file | 05:32 |
| rpk | coz_ thats not the one listed | 05:32 |
| coz_ | rp3, I probably have a different version | 05:32 |

| coz_ | rpk, ok I got the right md5sum on that one | 05:34 |
| saibien | flash nonfree? | 05:34 |

| coz_ | rpk, do you have any other linux installs on that system? | 05:34 |
| lapion | OY1R, you have to refrase the question otherwhise it is off-topic.. | 05:34 |
| rpk | coz_ no, unfortunately not | 05:35 |
| izinucs | Thenarius: use synaptic package manager.. much more through | 05:35 |
| coz_ | rpk, you only have windows ...yes? | 05:35 |
| rpk | coz_ yeah, I wonder if the winmd5sum program is broken | 05:35 |
| rpk | coz_ yeah :/ | 05:35 |
| OY1R | lapion, i could just not mention it again ! | 05:35 |
| coz_ | rpk, hold on let me find a decent windows md5sum | 05:35 |
| coz_ | rpk, try one or a couple of these http://www.thefreecountry.com/utilities/free-md5-sum-tools.shtml | 05:36 |
| rpk | coz_ downloaded with IE instead of ff4, got the right md5sum this time | 05:36 |
| coz_ | ah ok | 05:37 |
| coz_ | rpk, cool | 05:37 |
| rpk | oh nevermind | 05:37 |
| coz_ | rpk, thats not surprising for some reason :) | 05:37 |
| OY1R | anyways good night folks. | 05:37 |

| coz_ | OY1R, night guy | 05:37 |
| rpk | apologies | 05:37 |

| bullgard4 | man update-apt-xapian-index: "DESCRIPTION: Rebuild the Apt Xapian Index." What file contains the »Apt Xapian Index«? | 05:38 |
| coz_ | rpk, at this point I would also check the bios ,, see if there is a way just to disable sli temporarily and check other settings there as well | 05:39 |
| coz_ | rpk, this is very odd behavior | 05:39 |
| lapion | rpk does the system have wireless network card or a wired network card ? | 05:39 |
| rpk | lapion: its wired | 05:39 |
| lapion | rpk, like I said experiment with it in a vritual-box first | 05:40 |

However, both times I installed it, when I ran the CD live, again, I the partitions I created were gone -- it looked like the original configuration. Can | 05:47 |
| LinuxFetus_ | someone help me? | 05:47 |
| ActionParsnip | DIFTOW: install nvidia-current and it may work (natty will give the 270 driver). You may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig to make it fly | 05:47 |
| pfifo | DIFTOW, did you install both the kernel module and the xorg driver? | 05:47 |

| K`zan | Hi all, upgraded my netbook to 11.04 (finally finished just a bit ago). Problem is I have no menu or status bar, had to ctl-alt-del to get out of the gnome session. | 05:57 |
| rpk | oh, and I am at a prompt type thing (rapidly blinking cursor), can't type anything though | 05:58 |
| coz_ | rpk, something is seriously up on that system,.,, doesnt make sense,, coulde be bios,, memory ,, something... and you cant even get to live cd to check memory integrity | 05:58 |
| K`zan | Is there some what to get the menu back? | 05:58 |
| KCSterling | could anyone help me with that? | 05:58 |
| rpk | coz_ lol, it works completely fine on windows | 05:58 |

| jbicha | !classic | K`zan | 05:59 |
| ubottu | K`zan: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. | 05:59 |
| S4RY | rpk: strange. | 05:59 |
| coz_ | rpk, I doubt seriously ,, after speaking with a few people ,, that sli is the real issue for sure | 05:59 |
| rpk | coz_ could it have something to do with my ssd? | 05:59 |
| coz_ | rpk, unless some how the windows burning application is corrupting the burn | 05:59 |
| rpk | coz_ but I removed a graphics card... | 05:59 |

| rpk | coz_ I can try the minimal cd again | 05:59 |
| afeder | my ubuntu has changed appearance from the slick dark grey one to an ugly default gnomish one... what might be the cause of this? | 05:59 |
| KCSterling | does anyone know how to get a cd to register in the ubuntu 11.04 OS? the cd is in the drive, but ubuntu says there is no media i drive. | 05:59 |
| coz_ | rpk, ok give it a try | 05:59 |
| K`zan | Does unity not have a menu or anything? | 06:00 |
| jbicha | afeder: try restarting gnome-settings-daemon | 06:00 |
| coz_ | rpk, if this fails,, go to ##linux channel ,, I already showed them the pastebin you had,, I cant figure this one out | 06:00 |
| afeder | jbicha, thanks | 06:00 |
| bullgard4 | K`zan: It does. But yours apparently is broken. | 06:01 |
| KCSterling | hellloooo, is anyone willing to help me out? | 06:01 |
| pfifo | DIFTOW, it looks like your trying to enable a d monitor but your monitor doesnt support it | 06:01 |
| rzx237 | K`zan: try deleting .config, .gnome in your home folder, sometime old configuration break when using new version of software, and login back | 06:01 |
| pfifo | DIFTOW, it looks like your trying to enable a 3D monitor but your monitor doesnt support it | 06:01 |
| DIFTOW | lol, im not | 06:01 |
| rpk | coz_ does "advanced options" in the minimal cd have the option for the memory test? | 06:01 |
| DIFTOW | Thats Ubuntu or Nvidia, not me | 06:01 |
| rpk | I'd be happy to run it again with the new (higher) timings | 06:01 |
| pfifo | DIFTOW, you xorg.con is | 06:02 |
| afeder | jbicha, that did the trick - do you know why it might have crashed on my? i've experienced this multiple times even after reinstall | 06:02 |
| afeder | me* | 06:02 |
| rpk | oh, and same blank, black screen coz_ | 06:02 |
| DIFTOW | that doesnt explain lag v_v | 06:02 |
| K`zan | rzx237: Will try that, hopefully it works on a netbook :). Thanks MUCH! | 06:02 |
| coz_ | rpk, yeah it could check the initial menu where it says install | 06:02 |
| KCSterling | how can i get ubuntu to mount a cd in the drive that is reading as no media in drive? | 06:02 |
| jbicha | afeder: I'm not sure why that happens, are you running out of memory? | 06:02 |
| afeder | not that i know of - it happens at startup | 06:03 |
| pfifo | DIFTOW, the lag is easilly explained be having no hardware acceleration because your trying to do somthing thats not supported and the error is causing it to fall back to defaults | 06:03 |
| bazhang | KCSterling, what app | 06:03 |
| rpk | coz_ how long should I give the minimal cd again? | 06:03 |
| coz_ | rpk, it has to download the install files first so a few minutes although that is long | 06:03 |
| coz_ | rpk, at least 45 seconds | 06:03 |
| DIFTOW | okay.. lets fix that, and see about that.. | 06:03 |
| rpk | coz_ ok | 06:03 |
| bai | who do I have to punch for adding /etc/bash_completion.d/mount and /etc/bash_completion.d/umount? | 06:03 |

| mike-w | anyone who uses bootchart? | 06:04 |
| pfifo | DIFTOW, write your own xorg.conf, make it fine tuned to what your doing | 06:04 |
| mike-w | while i want to render | 06:04 |
| unforgiven512 | Can someone recommend an MP3 (and more, if possible) tagging program for me? | 06:04 |
| DIFTOW | I don't know how to write an xorg file | 06:04 |
| mike-w | it says IndexError: list index out of range | 06:04 |
| DIFTOW | And I can't believe I'd had to write one, just to use my display. | 06:04 |
| rzx237 | K`zan: .config and .gnome, I mean | 06:04 |
| DIFTOW | have* | 06:04 |
| DIFTOW | Does anything on this operating system just work? | 06:04 |
| jbicha | unforgiven512: soundjuicer is one | 06:04 |
| mrdeb | DIFTOW: yes | 06:05 |
| unforgiven512 | jbicha: Sweet, thanks | 06:05 |
| rzx237 | K`zan: you may want to back it up somewhere | 06:05 |
| unforgiven512 | Preferably GTK | 06:05 |
| K`zan | rzx237: No .gnome :) | 06:05 |
| jbicha | DIFTOW: for most people, nearly everything just works | 06:05 |
| K`zan | Too late :-/. | 06:05 |
| mike-w | is there anyone who uses bootchart? | 06:05 |
| rpk | DIFTOW, at least yours installed... XD | 06:05 |
| rzx237 | okay, .config | 06:05 |
| pfifo | DIFTOW, didnt the tell you that xorg is going to be using the nvidia module on the nvidia site? | 06:05 |
| coz_ | unforgiven512, maybe easytag from the repositories | 06:05 |
| DIFTOW | I had to install more than once rpk.. since its installer couldn't get it right without custom options. | 06:05 |
| rpk | jbicha, actually, even at work it won't correctly detect my monitor resolution | 06:05 |
| coz_ | unforgiven512, I believe it is sudo apt-get install easytag-aac | 06:05 |
| DIFTOW | pfifo, idk what you just said. | 06:06 |
| unforgiven512 | coz_: I just got frustrated beyond belief with EasyTag -- not too easy, plus no support for albumartist tag (that I can see) | 06:06 |
| mrdeb | what are you doing with nvidia | 06:06 |
| rpk | jbicha: and theres an open bug since 9.10 that apt-adding a ppa won't use the network proxy setting | 06:06 |
| DIFTOW | why doesn't anyone use PM? | 06:06 |
| coz_ | unforgiven512, ah ok let me check for more appls hold on | 06:06 |
| rzx237 | K`zan: and login back, so you now starting with empy config | 06:06 |
| rpk | jbicha: I'd consider synaptic a core part of the system, wouldn't you? | 06:06 |
| DIFTOW | doesnt your eyes hurt? | 06:06 |
| DIFTOW | im about to throw my monitor out the window | 06:06 |
| K`zan | rzx237: Did so, same reboot to get out. | 06:06 |
| jbicha | rpk: Synaptic has had numerous issues, it's not recommended for people who can't figure it out | 06:07 |
| K`zan | rzx237: Used "gnome". Will try "gnome classic" this time. | 06:07 |
| coz_ | unforgiven512, look for an application named Puddletag | 06:07 |
| rpk | jbitcha: so the suggested method of installing and updating programs is? | 06:07 |
| unforgiven512 | coz_: Okay, thank you :) | 06:07 |
| jbicha | rpk: Ubuntu Software Center | 06:07 |
| K`zan | err "ubuntu ..." | 06:07 |
| unforgiven512 | I'm checking out a couple others, as well. | 06:08 |
| DIFTOW | wheres the xorg file... | 06:08 |
| DIFTOW | v_v | 06:08 |
| unforgiven512 | I want to get my MP3 collection in tip-top shape | 06:08 |
| rpk | jbicha: same problem as with synaptic | 06:08 |
| rpk | jbitcha: I'm not saying ubuntu is terrible, just that it should own its flaws: I know the windows team at microsoft does at least | 06:08 |
| pfifo | DIFTOW, /etc/X11/xorg.conf (this file dosent exist, you have to create it) | 06:08 |
| unforgiven512 | Gotta get the tags right. Using mp3diags to fix errors in them. Also, using mp3gain -a *.mp3 on each album's folder to normalize them :) | 06:08 |
| jbicha | rpk: nobody is saying Ubuntu is perfect or bug-free | 06:08 |
| K`zan | rzx237: Used "ubuntu classic" and that worked! | 06:08 |
| DIFTOW | no, it exists | 06:09 |
| unforgiven512 | It's a lot of work maintaining a 30,000+ song library =/ | 06:09 |
| pfifo | ubuntu is perfect and bug free | 06:09 |
| DIFTOW | nothing is perfect | 06:09 |
| jbicha | oh, except him ^ | 06:09 |
| rpk | :D | 06:09 |
| K`zan | rzx237: Thanks much for the help. First time a dist upgrade that I have done worked :)!!! | 06:09 |
| mrdeb | what is yoru problem with ubuntu? | 06:09 |
| mrdeb | we can help you | 06:09 |
| DIFTOW | sorry, nothing.. including ubuntu | 06:09 |
| DIFTOW | thats why it has updates | 06:09 |
| DIFTOW | If it were perfect, it wouldn't need those. | 06:09 |
| syrinx_ | is there a default keyboard shortcut to launch gnome-terminal? | 06:10 |
| coz_ | unforgiven512, I am installing puddletag now to take a quick run through with it | 06:10 |
| pfifo | DIFTOW, what was the las package you updated? | 06:10 |
| jbicha | rpk: I don't use a proxy, but you do know that you can set a proxy for apt? | 06:10 |
| mrdeb | syrinx_: in 1104, ctl+alt+t | 06:10 |
| rpk | coz_ , I looked at advanced options, no option to check memory | 06:10 |
| DIFTOW | pfifo.. | 06:10 |
| unforgiven512 | coz_: I don't see it in the repos | 06:10 |
| DIFTOW | this display issue has been with 3 separate linux installations | 06:10 |
| taglass | Those updates really just pipe to /dev/null. The only reason they push them is so Canonical employees canb justify their job of working on an already perfect, bug free operating system. | 06:10 |
| rpk | jbicha: apt uses the network manager set proxy, apt-add-repository does not | 06:10 |
| unforgiven512 | coz_: I'm checking out tagtool and gmusicbrowser | 06:11 |
| DIFTOW | its not a package i downloaded that broke nvidia.. | 06:11 |
| mike-w | anyone notices my qestion:while i use bootchart it says list index out of range | 06:11 |
| mrdeb | DIFTOW: what display issue | 06:11 |
| coz_ | rpk, well when the cd come to the menu for install,, there was no check memory there? | 06:11 |
| syrinx_ | mrdeb: thanks :D | 06:11 |
| evstevemd | Anyone knows how I can scan my already downloaded audios so I don't have to redownload them? I accidentally deleted config folder and All my subscriptions were gone! | 06:11 |
| rpk | jbicha: my real problem with it, is after all that, I have no option just to get it to not verify gpg keys | 06:11 |
| mrdeb | you're wlecome | 06:11 |
| coz_ | unforgiven512, this puddletag looks pretty complete :) | 06:11 |
| DIFTOW | I have no graphics acceleration.. no matter how I install my Nvidia drivers. | 06:11 |
| rpk | coz_ , in the minimal cd, no? | 06:11 |
| rpk | coz_ I can't get the full live cd to boot into a gui, remember? | 06:11 |
| coz_ | rpk, gah,, well there's one downside of it | 06:11 |
| mrdeb | DIFTOW: you just use jockey | 06:11 |
| DIFTOW | I used jockey first.. | 06:11 |
| coz_ | rpk, right | 06:11 |
| jbicha | rpk: I don't know, but are you sure you can't do that in the apt.conf file? | 06:11 |
| DIFTOW | Then package manager.. | 06:11 |
| Ademan | when were the sun-java6-* packages added to the natty partner repositories? | 06:12 |
| rpk | coz_ lol, no, its cool, at least I got a little further | 06:12 |
| coz_ | rpk, I am puzzled,, I nothing more to offer on this | 06:12 |
| rpk | coz_ should I try the alternate mode? | 06:12 |
| mrdeb | what happened with jockey | 06:12 |
| DIFTOW | I used jockey, package manager.. and manual (.run file in terminal).. all 3.. nothing | 06:12 |
| zetheroo | why is it that when I view shared media from over the network it doesn't show the thumbnails in Nautilus!? | 06:12 |
| coz_ | rpk, well the minimal is like the alternate except the packages are downloaded | 06:12 |
| DIFTOW | it installs, i restart... it says "driver activated but not in use". | 06:12 |
| pfifo | DIFTOW, you chip is too new | 06:12 |
| mrdeb | DIFTOW: what do you mean nothing. be mroe specific | 06:12 |
| scorch_ | why am I getting this? exec: 121: ./nexuiz-linux-x86_64-sdl: Permission denied | 06:12 |
| DIFTOW | pfifo.. good bye | 06:12 |
| DIFTOW | your help is not needed | 06:12 |
| dirt | scorch_: permissions | 06:12 |
| scorch_ | dirt: nope its +x | 06:13 |
| coz_ | rpk, honestly ,, something on that end is screwing this up,, and I am not there to check bios settings,, etc etc | 06:13 |
| taglass | zetheroo: That should be a setting in preferences. Previews over slow network connections are bad. | 06:13 |
| unforgiven512 | coz_: I don't see it in the repositories | 06:13 |
| sim642 | I just upgraded 10.10 to 11.04 and on boot it freezes at "Checking battery state..." What's the problem? | 06:13 |
| rpk | jbicha: I went through troubleshooting with several people in here, pointed at open bugs, gave up. Its my work pc though (thus the proxy), so I can't try anything now | 06:13 |
| DIFTOW | Nothing as in.. same issue with all 3.. its "activated".. but "not in use".. | 06:13 |
| coz_ | unforgiven512, ubuntu 11.04? | 06:13 |
| zetheroo | taglass: can I change it? | 06:13 |
| dirt | scorch_: are you sure you're owner/group is set right? | 06:13 |
| coz_ | unforgiven512, do you have all the repositories enabled? | 06:13 |
| dirt | scorch_: chown'd? | 06:13 |
| taglass | zetheroo: Should be in the nautilus preferences | 06:13 |
| scorch_ | dirt: ? | 06:13 |
| rpk | coz_ not sure what you'd check in the bios, the settings kinda suck for whats supposed to be a high end mobo | 06:13 |
| zetheroo | taglass: ok will look | 06:13 |
| mrdeb | DIFTOW: did you sudo nvidia-xconfig? | 06:13 |
| coz_ | rpk, ooo that's not good | 06:13 |
| unforgiven512 | coz_: Yes, and yes. | 06:14 |
| jbicha | rpk: sorry, I'm not an apt expert but I do know some things, you wouldn't be able to submit a patch for add-apt-repository, would you? | 06:14 |
| DIFTOW | Yes I have | 06:14 |
| coz_ | unforgiven512, and you spelled it puddletag ,,,, yes? | 06:14 |
| scorch_ | dirt: what command chown ... ? | 06:14 |
| mrdeb | then it will work. you can also blacklist nouveau | 06:14 |
| coz_ | unforgiven512, it is in the repositories | 06:14 |

'additional drivers' says "Activated but not currently in use". Nvidia GTX 580 - Released 9 November 2010 (not too new). | 06:21 |
| dirt | scorch_: maybe try going up a directory (cd ..) and ensuring that permissions are right | 06:21 |
| pfifo | Rehan, actualy try a filesystem check and then... up your inode count | 06:21 |
| rpk | jbicha: yeah, I upgraded from 10.10 the day it came out. No bug number, I might have it listed somewhere at work though. | 06:21 |
| jbicha | bullgard4: it's a database so not designed for you to mess with, but try locate apt-xapian-index | 06:21 |
| dirt | scorch_: permissions might be messed up on some other elements required to run | 06:22 |

| coz_ | Zelozelos, good point | 06:27 |

| ubottu | JoshWindows: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 06:28 |
| coz_ | JoshWindows, /etc/default/grub | 06:28 |
| pfifo | JoshWindows, /boot/grub/grub.cfg, however editing this file is unsupported | 06:28 |
| evstevemd | Ubottu:The problem is, I customize my own program in that sidebar unity thing and when I reboot everything is gone. For example, I remove Software center and add Eclipse IDE and rebooting it, SC is there and no eclipse! | 06:28 |
| scorch_ | dirt: amy other ideas? why would this break after unity install? | 06:28 |
| Zelozelos | JoshWindows, since u dont know where it is you prob dont want to make any manual changes | 06:28 |
| coz_ | JoshWindows, also if you edit remember to sudo update-grub2 | 06:28 |
| JoshWindows | Zelozelos: It missed my Windows partition. Discovered the Arch and Windows Recovery partitions, but missed the actual Windows partition. | 06:28 |
| dirt | scorch_: is it running from you local hard drive? | 06:29 |
| jrmcm | JoshWindows: sudo update-grub | 06:29 |
| Zelozelos | JoshWindows, which version of ubuntu? | 06:29 |
| JoshWindows | Zelozelos: I imagine it's as simple as duplicating the entry for Windows Recovery and changing the partition number | 06:29 |
| coz_ | ok guys ,, it is 1:30 am here ,, need to get to bed ,,be nice,, share what you know,, dont walk into the light !! | 06:29 |

| dirt | scorch_: is the file you're trying to execute on an external drive or something? | 06:30 |
| scorch_ | dirt: no | 06:31 |
| jrmcm | JoshWindows: sometimes grub2 misses things. All update-grub2 does it reread the the grub.cfg file and add anything it finds | 06:31 |
| Zelozelos | shouldn he try and re-detect it then update-grub? | 06:31 |
| dirt | scorch_: is it on a seperate partition? | 06:32 |
| JoshWindows | pfifo: It only detects Arch and the recovery (which it thinks is Windows) | 06:32 |
| Rehan | pfifo: i fixed it -- used resize2fs /dev/sda1 | 06:32 |
| jrmcm | thats what update-grub2 does | 06:32 |

| mrdeb | DIFTOW: the proper way to use the run file from nvidia is to hold shift when booting, then select safe mode in root, then run the file once at the command prompt | 06:38 |

| Zelozelos | JoshWindows, you can try a partition manager, it will tell you exactly what you have and theyre #'s | 06:40 |
| dirt | scorch_: whatever, just need the text | 06:40 |
| DIFTOW | So what about removing the old installations? | 06:40 |
| mrdeb | DIFTOW: remove them from synaptic. easiest way. or purge nvidia-current from terminal | 06:40 |

| Zelozelos | bluegoon, thers a shared folder you should use | 06:51 |
| bluegoon | Zelozelos, cool, OK makes sense to do that. | 06:51 |
| DIFTOW | MrDeb.. That was no different than when I booted 'text' in grub menu.. But I did it anyway, now what? | 06:51 |
| Zelozelos | bluegoon or you an also set up groups and sharing that way i think | 06:51 |
| dirt | scorch_: chmod -R 777 /home/scorch/Nexuis-2.5.3 | 06:51 |
| bluegoon | ok | 06:52 |
| dirt | scorch_: try a blanket everyone can use this permissions set | 06:52 |
| AgresiV | Can I get some assistance in installing Nessus on Xubuntu 10.10 ? | 06:52 |
| mrdeb | DIFTOW: what happens when you boot up | 06:52 |
| Mx929 | since Im running older PIII, should I use the ACPI=off command at ubuntu startup? | 06:52 |
| Zelozelos | AgresiV, what kind of assistance? its better 2 say whats going wrong ;) | 06:52 |
| keithtoo | Mx929: I had the same problem with my NVIDIA - the card shuts down and the monitor goes to sleep. The fix - after months of googling - was to physically remove the card and blow out the dust that got trapped between the GPU and the fan | 06:52 |
| DIFTOW | i boot up... if you're wondering if theres a popup or something.. no | 06:53 |
| mrdeb | you get a blinking cursor? | 06:53 |
| DIFTOW | ubuntu boots up, and thats it | 06:53 |
| DIFTOW | no | 06:53 |
| mrdeb | is your resolution messed up | 06:53 |
| DIFTOW | no | 06:53 |
| DIFTOW | unity is running | 06:53 |
| mrdeb | so what's the problem | 06:53 |
| DIFTOW | v | 06:53 |
| DIFTOW | v_v | 06:53 |
| bluegoon | Zelozelos, says this feature cannot be enabled because you need the required app, its personal file sharing | 06:53 |
| Mx929 | yeah, Im running windows, Puppy linux on this PC with no problems, its just when I try to run the latest Ubuntu/Mint cd it happens | 06:53 |

| mrdeb | can you run nvidia-settings? | 06:54 |
| scorch_ | dirt: thanks | 06:54 |
| scorch_ | dirt: but wtf | 06:54 |
| dirt | scorch_: the permissions on the parent directory weren't right | 06:54 |
| Zelozelos | bluegoon, the groups feature? i wasnt sure if it worked r not, i think thats actually for networking | 06:54 |
| dirt | scorch_: 777 is pretty unsafe fyi | 06:54 |
| DIFTOW | Yes | 06:54 |
| AgresiV | Zelozelos, I googled for help but I think I`m doing something wrong :) kinda new... I downloaded .deb package for ubuntu 10.10 and in some tutorials I found says to follow the commands promted... | 06:54 |
| scorch_ | dirt: how where they not right? | 06:55 |
| bluegoon | Zelozelos, lemme try and obtain it, you would think they would include it by default | 06:55 |
| scorch_ | dirt: all I did was upgrade to 11.04 | 06:55 |
| mrdeb | does nvidia-setings give an error upon strrtup | 06:55 |
| DIFTOW | No | 06:55 |
| dirt | scorch_: dunno, the parent directory of that file, or sub files were messed up | 06:55 |
| keithtoo | mx929: I also had no problems running Windows at the time. I was dual booted, and so it didn't make sense at all... All I can say is it worked for me, and the improvement was immediate. Can you see your video card temperature monitors? | 06:55 |
| dirt | scorch_: not sure why it would mess it up, the upgrade | 06:55 |
| scorch_ | dirt: ok thanks man.... | 06:55 |
| dirt | scorch_: but all we did is make it so it globally open | 06:56 |
| AgresiV | I used Ubuntu Software Center to install but nothing promted after it finished | 06:56 |
| dirt | scorch_: anyone can run it | 06:56 |
| mrdeb | so then how do you know hardware accleration is off? | 06:56 |
| scorch_ | dirt: you got a good linux pdf? | 06:56 |
| Mx929 | thanks Keith, I'll look into the temp of the card ; ) logging off /bye | 06:56 |
| scorch_ | dirt: need to learn this stufff | 06:56 |
| dirt | scorch_: might want to try scaling back the permissions and see when it breaks, then fix it. | 06:56 |
| DIFTOW | because when I run 3D games.. the FPS is EXTREMELY low.. freezing.. even some 2D GUI movies/videos.. | 06:56 |
| dirt | scorch_: chmod -R 770 [directory] | 06:56 |
| dirt | scorch_: chmod -R 700 [directory] | 06:56 |
| dirt | scorch_: and see when it stops working | 06:57 |
| mrdeb | DIFTOW: then it's not that the driver isnt intsalled. its installed. it's more a driver issues or something like that | 06:57 |
| Fahmida | Hi, I have problem with my headphone. Speakers are okay, but no sound in headphones, what to do? | 06:57 |
| cereal_ | hey, how do i get the weather icon next to the time? with the newest version | 06:57 |
| scorch_ | dirt: yeah.... just in general to you know of a good linux pdf | 06:57 |
| DIFTOW | The driver is installed, but "additional drivers".. claims it is only activated, not in use. | 06:57 |
| dirt | scorch_: ummm just takes experience, but I do personally like http://www.admin.com/ | 06:57 |
| AgresiV | Fahmida, in my experience if sound is outputed in speakers it sould work on headphones ... do you have built in speakers ? | 06:58 |
| dirt | scorch_: it's more geared towards server and system administration, but it exposes you to a lot of the under the hood components and such | 06:58 |
| Zelozelos | Fahmida, check the jack w another set of phones, check n make sure the phones are supported by the hardware ( ie can u use a headset w mic if thats what youre using | 06:58 |
| jrmcm | I need help with a ralink usb adapter. when i connect it i get it in the network manager, and connect to an access point, but cant transfer any data. I have run diognostics the output is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/604341/ | 06:58 |

| Fahmida | Zelozelos and AgresiV, It is connected from the front panel. | 06:59 |
| mrdeb | is it suppported per nvidia's site | 06:59 |
| Zelozelos | fahmida did u make any changes to the sys like upgrades, updates etc? | 07:00 |
| dirt | scorch_: and then come here an learn more by helping others fix their stuff ;) | 07:00 |
| DIFTOW | It runs fine in Windows | 07:00 |
| DIFTOW | Everything runs fine in Windows | 07:00 |

| bluegoon | dirt, just installed taht | 07:01 |
| bluegoon | dirt, that* | 07:01 |
| Zelozelos | Fahmida, occasionally an update will mess with my sys in other ways, maybe thats the issue, does your sys have one of those smart jacks that detect what u plugged in? | 07:01 |
| Fahmida | Zelozelos: In my Sound Preferences section, I can check my microphone, just no sound in headphone. | 07:01 |
| bluegoon | dirt, enabled sharing, created a folder, and set permissions to all | 07:01 |
| mrdeb | DIFTOW: the linux drivrr may be different in terms of compatibility | 07:01 |
| keithtoo | DIFTOW: I don't know if this pertinent to your problem, but can you monitor your GPU's temperature? | 07:01 |
| mrdeb | DIFTOW: also, windows has better drivers. that's obvious | 07:02 |
| Fahmida | Zelozelos: I don't know. | 07:02 |
| DIFTOW | 40 C | 07:02 |
| cereal_ | does 11.04 have a weather indicator at all? | 07:02 |

| Zelozelos | Fahmida, do u have a mic and a headphone jack or just 1 input? | 07:02 |
| DIFTOW | Old Dos games, dont usually lag modern GPUs | 07:02 |
| dirt | bluegoon: hrmmm | 07:02 |
| Fahmida | Zelozelos: 2 separate jack. Mic is pink, Headphone is green. | 07:03 |
| DIFTOW | The card is VERY cool.. thats why I have it. Way cooler than the 480. | 07:03 |
| Berto | Hi, in 11.04 how can I stop the window maker from auto-maximizing windows that I want to move to the corner? | 07:03 |
| keithtoo | DIFTOW: I run an NVIDIA 9800 GT - it runs around 62C normally... is 40 considered high for that card? | 07:03 |
| Zelozelos | Fahmida, ok so its prob not one of those screwy jacks then... | 07:03 |
| DIFTOW | no. | 07:03 |
| === ubuntu is now known as crash1hd | ||

| keithtoo | DIFTOW: kk... just wondering. Mine did some nasty things untill I pukked the card and cleaned it out | 07:04 |
| mrdeb | DIFTOW: its not a temp issue | 07:04 |
| keithtoo | pukked sould be pulled... typing in the dark :) | 07:04 |
| Fahmida | Zelozelos: So, any suggestion, what should I do? | 07:04 |
| DIFTOW | For some reason.. applications are not recognizing it for 3D acceleration\ | 07:05 |
| crash1hd | Ok so I dont know why but I rebooted my laptop and went to log into my ubuntu install and it says that the drive is missing so I loaded live cd and the partition that ubuntu was on is now unpartitioned again not sure why or how so I am in the process of reinstalling and I am at the allocate drive space and need help | 07:05 |
| Zelozelos | Fahmida, not sure only basic trouble shooting for that is all i know | 07:05 |
| DIFTOW | so i have to assume, the drive isn't full in use. | 07:05 |
| mrdeb | DIFTOW: can ou try a different nvidia card | 07:05 |

| magn3ts | Also, I love reading interviews that talk about the future of Ubuntu. Makes me so excited :) | 07:13 |
| dirt | bluegoon: welcome | 07:13 |
| puneet | bazhang:- help | 07:13 |
| JoshWindows | Can I change /boot | 07:13 |
| JoshWindows | 's partition from a livecd? | 07:13 |
| puneet | audio issue | 07:13 |
| dirt | bluegoon: was the easiest way I could find to mount a samba share | 07:13 |
| celthunder | JoshWindows: yes | 07:13 |
| bluegoon | dirt, cool, thanks man | 07:13 |
| JoshWindows | celthunder: Would you know the function? | 07:13 |
| celthunder | JoshWindows: to change the boot partition? mount it in /tmp and do what you want with it if you meant chanve the actual partition cfdisk | 07:14 |
| dirt | bluegoon: np | 07:14 |
| crash1hd | Is it /boot where grub is? | 07:14 |
| celthunder | crash1hd: yes it is (generally) though you could put it somewhere else | 07:14 |
| crash1hd | celthunder, thanks :) | 07:15 |
| JoshWindows | celthunder: I just mean move it from sda1 back to sda8 and making the system boot again | 07:15 |
| puneet | any one | 07:15 |
| dirt | puneet: audio on linux is a death trap ;) I'll try, but no promises | 07:16 |
| dirt | puneet: what's the issue? | 07:16 |
| celthunder | JoshWindows: grub-setup | 07:16 |
| JoshWindows | Never mind, really. As usual, this has become a nightmare. I'll just destroy everything and put it back together again later | 07:16 |
| puneet | no audio | 07:16 |
| puneet | puneet@puneet-desktop:~/Desktop$ lspci | grep audio | 07:16 |
| puneet | <puneet> 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) | 07:16 |
| celthunder | puneet: what's the issue | 07:16 |
| Zelozelos | is there a way to use the grub customizer to disable the os-prober (so i can skip the menu unless i hit shift) and still have the windows loader listed (if i do hit shift)? | 07:16 |
| celthunder | punsusing what alsa pulse oss? | 07:16 |
| ozzy | hi | 07:17 |
| celthunder | er puneet sorry alsa pulse or oss | 07:17 |
| webmaker | hi ozzy, | 07:17 |
| puneet | alsa pulse | 07:17 |
| puneet | i connecte | 07:17 |
| celthunder | puneet: you made sure they're not muted? whatre you using to test? | 07:17 |
| ubuntu | What size should I make my swap space? | 07:18 |
| dirt | puneet: and that you're using the right output | 07:18 |
| puneet | i connected my usb headset its detectinng in the sound icon | 07:18 |
| puneet | but no sound | 07:18 |
| dirt | ubuntu: depends on your system | 07:18 |
| puneet | yes check not muted | 07:18 |
| ubuntu | dirt, ok in what regards | 07:18 |
| puneet | yup double checked | 07:18 |
| dirt | ubuntu: swap is used for RAM overflow and other tasks | 07:18 |
| celthunder | puneet: what're you outputting audio off of to test? | 07:18 |
| ubuntu | dirt, this system has 3gb of ram | 07:18 |
| puneet | ? | 07:19 |
| WaltherFI | ubuntu: about twice the ram, if you need hibernate | 07:19 |
| ubuntu | dirt, may be upgrading to 4 | 07:19 |
| dirt | ubuntu: e.g. you have a lot of ram, might want to lower your swap, if not a lot of RAM, maybe higher swap size | 07:19 |
| celthunder | ubuntu: then unless you're running games and virtual machines you don't need swap | 07:19 |
| ubuntu | celthunder, i was planing on using vms | 07:19 |
| html_inprogress | hi | 07:19 |
| Braiam | !sound | puneet | 07:19 |
| ubottu | puneet: 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. | 07:19 |
| dirt | ubuntu: not a lot of ram, lower your swap** | 07:19 |
| celthunder | ubuntu: or recursive compiling or anything that eats ram...generally 3gb is overkill for daily tasks | 07:19 |
| Flynn | If I install Ubuntu on my mac, can I use any wireless usb adapter that theres a linux or ubuntu driver for? Its a power pc. | 07:19 |
| ubuntu | celthunder, vmware I mean | 07:20 |
| WaltherFI | ubuntu: for 3gb i'd suggest 6gb swap, enough for stuff and you can hibernate | 07:20 |
| puneet | checking | 07:20 |
| Speedle | any1 home? | 07:20 |
| celthunder | ubuntu: even then, you're not going to want to set the ram of the vm higher than 2.5 gb right? | 07:20 |
| celthunder | Speedle: no we all died in the last second | 07:20 |
| ubuntu | celthunder, probably not | 07:20 |
| dirt | ubuntu: Walther is correct, usually the rule of thumb is atleast the amount of ram | 07:20 |
| html_inprogress | Ozzy, hi | 07:20 |
| Speedle | I can see that. | 07:20 |
| celthunder | dirt: lol overkill much? | 07:21 |
| jjohnson | anyway of making 11.04 look like previous versions of ubuntu? | 07:21 |
| dirt | celthunder: depends on the system... I don't run that much, but I've read various debates on what it should be | 07:21 |
| Flynn | Anyone know about PPC Macs? | 07:21 |
| html_inprogress | Ozzy, hi | 07:21 |
| html_inprogress | ozzy, hi | 07:22 |
| WaltherFI | the rule of thumb for twice the ram is ok, as there is no drawbacks anyway | 07:22 |
| Zelozelos | Speedle, does the gazebo in my yard count as home? | 07:22 |
| celthunder | dirt: i've got 2gb ran 2-3 vm's at a time on here and never had a problem with no swap...besides can always make a swapfile later if desperate | 07:22 |
| ozzy | hi | 07:22 |
| WaltherFI | except for the hdd space, which everyone has anyway | 07:22 |
| ozzy | html_inprogress, hi | 07:22 |
| ubuntu | celthunder, what about hibernate? do I need to have at least 3gb? | 07:23 |
| celthunder | Flynn: yeah i don't see why not | 07:23 |
| WaltherFI | ubuntu: at least 3gb, i'd have 6 | 07:23 |
| dirt | celthunder: I agree, but diff. setups require diff. things... your home machine probably wouldn't need it, nor would a caching server, but it might be handy for a DB, etc. | 07:23 |
| Zelozelos | is there a way to use the grub customizer to disable the os-prober (so i can skip the menu unless i hit shift) and still have the windows loader listed (if i do hit shift)? | 07:23 |
| WaltherFI | ubuntu: you have loads of hd space anyway | 07:23 |
| WaltherFI | Zelozelos: hiddenmenu=true | 07:24 |
| Flynn | celthunder, I heard it has more to do with the processor than the actual OS. | 07:24 |
| jjohnson | is there anyway to tell if graphics acceleration is turned on in 11.04 | 07:24 |
| WaltherFI | Zelozelos: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub | 07:24 |
| celthunder | Flynn: why would the wireless drivers care what processor you have? | 07:24 |
| celthunder | Flynn: i could be wrong...just doesn't make sense to me | 07:25 |
| karaoui | hello | 07:25 |
| Zelozelos | WaltherFI, not to comfortable messin w grub manually but ill check it out ty fir the info | 07:25 |
| ubuntu | since this is in MB is it 1024 per gig or 1000 per gig | 07:25 |
| WaltherFI | Zelozelos: and then run sudo update-grub2 && sudo update-initramfs -u | 07:25 |
| celthunder | ubuntu: 1024 | 07:25 |
| bullgard4 | man update-apt-xapian-index: "DESCRIPTION: Rebuild the Apt Xapian Index." What file contains the »Apt Xapian Index«? | 07:25 |
| ubuntu | celthunder, thanks :) | 07:25 |
| celthunder | ubuntu: software it's always 1024 hw manufacturers 1000 | 07:25 |
| karaoui | hello, can anyone see's me | 07:26 |
| Zelozelos | WaltherFI, im runnin 10.10 is it still update-grub2 or update-grub? | 07:26 |
| celthunder | karaoui: yes | 07:26 |
| ubuntu | ahh | 07:26 |
| WaltherFI | Zelozelos: 2 | 07:26 |
| Zelozelos | kk | 07:26 |
| bullgard4 | karaoui: Yes. | 07:26 |
| karaoui | thanks | 07:26 |
| dirt | ubuntu: celthunder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 07:26 |
| bazhang | apt-xapian-index bullgard4 | 07:26 |
| ubuntu | ok and I only need a swap boot and / right | 07:26 |
| jjohnson | exit | 07:27 |
| WaltherFI | ubuntu: i'd suggest adding separate /home | 07:27 |
| celthunder | dirt: ? lol i do just fine without swap...admit i have a 128MB swap on all my servers though | 07:27 |
| WaltherFI | ubuntu: makes reinstalls much easier | 07:27 |
| AgresiV | How do I disable vertical sync ? Xubuntu 10.10 | 07:27 |
| Flynn | celthunder: I don't know. Something about intell machines "speaking different language" than powerpc. | 07:27 |
| AgresiV | How do I disable vertical sync ? Xubuntu 10.10 / ati radeon 9250 128/128 | 07:27 |
| celthunder | Flynn: they do.. | 07:27 |
| ubuntu | WaltherFI, Thanks :) | 07:27 |
| dirt | celthunder: really depends on what it's being used for. | 07:28 |
| asdfgftft | hi | 07:28 |
| asdfgftft | i have a questopn | 07:28 |
| bazhang | asdfgftft, then ask | 07:28 |
| AgresiV | How do I disable vertical sync ? Xubuntu 10.10 / ati radeon 9250 128/128 | 07:28 |
| WaltherFI | ubuntu: with /home separate, you can clean install / but have all your .configs and files safe ;) | 07:28 |
| Flynn | celthunder: I thought I remembered hearing that somewhere I could be mistakin'. | 07:28 |
| === asdfgftft is now known as fedorafan | ||
| Zelozelos | WaltherFI, dont see the line "#hiddenmenu=false" ? | 07:28 |
| === fedorafan is now known as fedorafan2 | ||
| bazhang | fedorafan2, whats the question | 07:29 |
| WaltherFI | Zelozelos: there should be something about hiddenmenu | 07:29 |
| fedorafan2 | well | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Agresiv: it may need an xorg.conf file to set it. There may be an option you can pass the driver module when it's loaded | 07:29 |
| fedorafan2 | i dont like unit | 07:29 |
| bazhang | fedorafan2, then use classic | 07:29 |
| bazhang | !classic | fedorafan2 | 07:30 |
| ubottu | fedorafan2: 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. | 07:30 |
| fedorafan2 | in fedora ? | 07:30 |
| celthunder | Flynn: powerpc vs i386 you mean? long as the code compiles fine for your architecture..try it and compile it on something else first in the format if it compiles you'll be fine...if not no...also i'm guessing theres 386/64 macs too | 07:30 |
| WaltherFI | Zelozelos: can't remember the correct syntax it was in there, probably just #hiddenmenu | 07:30 |
| bazhang | #fedora fedorafan2 | 07:30 |
| Zelozelos | WaltherFI, thers hidden timeout and hidden timeout quiet | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | fedorafan2: fedora isn't supported here | 07:30 |
| fedorafan2 | ok | 07:30 |
| bazhang | fedorafan2, this is #ubuntu try #fedora | 07:30 |
| Flynn | Does anyone have a usb wireless adapter? If so, what kind? | 07:30 |
| AgresiV | ActionParsnip, I thought I might need Xorg.conf but it seems I can`t find it :) | 07:30 |
| celthunder | Flynn: you can use your phone if you have an android phone | 07:31 |
| dirt | AgresiV: have the restricted video drivers installed yea? | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | bazhang: may I PM please dude. Big of news for you | 07:31 |
| fedorafan2 | bauzhang is my friend | 07:31 |
| AgresiV | I have the default drivers installed | 07:31 |
| bazhang | ActionParsnip, of course | 07:31 |
| dirt | AgresiV: you'll want to get the restricted closed source ones | 07:31 |
| bazhang | fedorafan2, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat | 07:31 |
| krambal | i keep getting firefox has failed to respond | 07:31 |
| Flynn | celthundeer: sorry no phone that fancy. | 07:31 |
| Zelozelos | Flynn, i do but i dont use it b/c its slower through the usb way, i suggest gettin a card or some other adapter | 07:31 |
| Flynn | celthunder: Also I wasn't planning on compiling anything. | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Agresiv: ubuntu doesn't ship with one but if you make it, it will be obeyed | 07:32 |
| dirt | AgresiV: will give you more control over that card | 07:32 |
| AgresiV | After hours of googling I found that my card being kinda old it`s best to leave hte default | 07:32 |
| dirt | AgresiV: k | 07:32 |
| krambal | and it wont let me open it up is there a process i need to close or just restart my box | 07:32 |
| celthunder | krambal: ps x |grep firefox then kill -9 the pid or killall firefox | 07:33 |
| celthunder | krambal: note killall is EVIL...but it works | 07:33 |
| krambal | ps x ? | 07:33 |
| Zelozelos | krambal, sudo apt-get purge firefox, then sudo apt-get install firefox, this will remove firefox and its settings, then re-install only suggestion i got | 07:33 |
| Flynn | Zelozelos: I tried a card once ended up bein' a pain, but what kind is yours if it works? | 07:33 |
| AgresiV | ActionParsnip, | 07:34 |
| Zelozelos | Flynn, if i remember right its a linksys | 07:34 |
| AgresiV | ActionParsnip, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf ...empty file | 07:34 |
| Flynn | Zelozelos: Thank you. | 07:34 |
| Zelozelos | Flynn, np | 07:34 |
| dirt | AgresiV: have aticonfig installed? | 07:34 |
| AgresiV | Initially X11 had no file named xorg.conf but I think I created it | 07:35 |
| bullgard4 | bazhang: I only found one file '/etc/cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index'. I found 3 directories 'apt-xapian-index'. | 07:35 |
| celthunder | AgresiV: X by deault autodetecs setttings so it's empty..if you want to generate the one it automatically uses X --configure or something like that | 07:35 |
| AgresiV | dirt, really don`t know | 07:35 |
| AgresiV | dirt, I`m newer the a newbie | 07:35 |
| AgresiV | :)) | 07:35 |
| Zelozelos | krambal, oh i forgot b4 u reinstall it make sure u updated | 07:35 |
| bazhang | bullgard4, for future reference: /msg ubottu find xapian gives a long list, and a search link | 07:35 |
| krambal | i am running ubuntu thru vmware on my windows 7 laptop | 07:35 |
| krambal | .... lol | 07:35 |
| krambal | dang it | 07:36 |
| Zelozelos | krambal, its sudo apt-get update | 07:36 |
| Zelozelos | i think | 07:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Agresiv: it will be. The file doesn't exist but if you flesh it out you can add the option to disable vsync | 07:36 |
| krambal | any good programs in ubuntu that anyone knows of that will assist with php programming | 07:38 |
| VE2EBP | Eh guys, this is weird. I just upgraded to version 11.04 and my unity is nowhere to be found and can't even alt tab between applications... | 07:38 |
| AgresiV | ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/604346/ | 07:38 |
| Zelozelos | WaltherFI, no hiddenmenu at all, can i add that line? | 07:38 |
| paul__ | доброе утро) | 07:38 |
| bazhang | krambal, /msg alis list *php* for a php channel as its out of scope here | 07:38 |
| Dillweed | haven't tried yet, but is it possible to install the nvidia and catalyst driver and have xorg pick up the driver needed when my usb installation to different computers? | 07:38 |
| bazhang | paul__, #ubuntu-ru | 07:38 |
| Dillweed | when I move* | 07:39 |
| celthunder | krambal: vi/emacs/etc (aka the normal editors) all let you set a programming language and format accordingly...or i'm pretty sure emacs lets you i know vi does) | 07:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Agresiv: boot to root recovery mode and it will work | 07:39 |
| keithtoo | anyone know how I can make /usr/lib/libGL.so point to /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so instead of /usr/lib/mesa/libGL.so? | 07:39 |
| AgresiV | ohh | 07:39 |
| AgresiV | oke | 07:39 |
| AgresiV | booting now thank you ActionParsnip | 07:39 |
| celthunder | Dillweed: i wouldn't touch the catalyst drivers | 07:39 |
| krambal | wow this is weird firefox just wont work let me restart | 07:39 |
| krambal | brb | 07:40 |
| mike-w | words cannot display normally in tty1,the words are displayed in one corner | 07:40 |
| Dillweed | celthunder: the catalyst drivers not ready? | 07:40 |
| celthunder | keithtoo: delete the symlink and remake it | 07:40 |
| mike-w | but in tty7,everything is ok | 07:40 |
| dirt | couldn't he have just restarted gdm? | 07:41 |
| celthunder | Dillweed: ati is always like 5 years behind on development of drivers for linux...they're terible..just use the open source ones unless you're really desperate for something they do that the free ones don't (which isn't much) | 07:41 |
| VE2EBP | yep, nautilus is corrupted | 07:41 |
| keithtoo | celthunder: do I need to do a ldconfig to make everything work with it? | 07:41 |
| Zelozelos | g-nitey nite time 2 bite the bed bugs | 07:41 |
| VE2EBP | Can anyone tell me how to redownload nautilus so it will fix the problem? | 07:41 |
| Dillweed | celthunder: sounds good, but can I also install the nvidia drivers too? I have ubuntu installed on a usb drive where I use it on different computers. | 07:42 |
| celthunder | yeah | 07:42 |
| Flynn | I have a Mac desktop and a Gateway Net-book. My wireless router is a cheap Belkin POS and the signal isn't very strong in the back room. So, I want to share an internet connection between the 2 computers without physically unpluging and plugging in my ethernet cable. I hope I'm going about this the right way | 07:42 |
| krambal | ok woot restarting worked | 07:42 |
| celthunder | Dillweed: yeah just install them both it should autoload automatically | 07:42 |
| dirt | VE2EBP: sudo aptitude reinstall nautilus | 07:42 |
| sunit | I am trying to write a shell script so that the script will run some command with certain scheduling. how shall I do ? | 07:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !ics | 07:43 |
| ubottu | If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 07:43 |
| Dillweed | celthunder: cool thanks | 07:43 |
| gust124 | hi there | 07:43 |
| gust124 | how can I add opera browser to susestudio? | 07:43 |
| lsq | i have a problem that the shutdown button of the top right corner disappear | 07:43 |
| bazhang | gust124, ask in #suse | 07:44 |
| dirt | lsq: right click the top bar, select "add to panel" and then look for "shutdown" | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Dirt: aptitude isn't in a default install now so you may get users reporting "command not found" if they haven't installed it | 07:44 |
| mrdeb | can you use susestudio to edit the ubuntu iso to add programs? | 07:45 |
| bazhang | mrdeb, no | 07:45 |
| dirt | ActionParsnip: ahh, didn't realize they'd dropped support for it | 07:45 |
| mrdeb | then what | 07:45 |
| bazhang | !remaster > mrdeb | 07:45 |
| ubottu | mrdeb, please see my private message | 07:45 |
| VE2EBP | dirt, I just did that.. nothing! not even a minimize or close window is shown | 07:45 |
| WaltherFI | dirt: support for aptitude isn't dropped iirc, just not used by default | 07:45 |
| bazhang | dirt, just install it | 07:45 |
| lsq | thanks | 07:45 |
| dirt | I have it installed... | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Dirt: its supported and in the repos. Its just not default installed in newer releases | 07:46 |
| bullgard4 | bazhang: Thank you. | 07:46 |
| bazhang | its not in the installer cd | 07:46 |
| VE2EBP | dirt something is totally wrong. How could i double check my installation to ensure something didn't download and install properly? | 07:46 |
| dirt | VE2EBP: you just need to purge it's config files and such more than likely | 07:46 |
| bullgard4 | VE2EBP: Look in Synaptic if the package really installed. | 07:47 |
| sunit | the command to be run can be seen in url http://dpaste.de/J8Ev/ | 07:47 |
| dirt | sudo aptitude purge nautilus && sudo aptitude install nautilus | 07:47 |
| dirt | VE2EBP: sudo aptitude purge nautilus && sudo aptitude install nautilus | 07:47 |
| VE2EBP | ok dirt, I will try that | 07:48 |
| dirt | VE2EBP: that should uninstall it and delete all previous config files, then reinstall it fresh | 07:48 |
| VE2EBP | ok dirt | 07:48 |
| VE2EBP | Let's see what happens dirt. thanks | 07:48 |
| Juv1228 | anyone know if its possible to have rsync NOT use temp files? | 07:48 |

| Flynn | How can I make Opera my default web browser. | 07:50 |
| VE2EBP | dirt, even if I invoke nautilus in terminal, it echoes nothing like it took the command but nothing pops up! | 07:50 |
| AgresiV | ActionParsnip, booted to recovery mode ... some select options... ran console with networking | 07:50 |
| Chepoll | clear | 07:50 |
| gartral | how can i start a Gobi 2000's GPS chip in ubuntu.. i installed gpsd and linked it too the Gobi's gps port on /dev/ttyUSB2.. but it wont read.. | 07:50 |
| Chepoll | gartral: did you mount it? | 07:51 |
| dirt | VE2EBP: hmmm | 07:51 |
| AgresiV | ActionParsnip, used X -configure... then it said to test with x -config /root/xorg.conf.new... and the black screen... waited about 4 mins and then I restarted | 07:52 |
| dirt | VE2EBP: maybe try installing the debug version? | 07:52 |
| gartral | Chepoll: mount it? | 07:52 |
| AgresiV | then* | 07:52 |
| dirt | VE2EBP: nautilus-dbg | 07:52 |
| Chepoll | I had an issue regarding initiation of dbus-daemon, wicd upon startup. "dbus-daemon --system" should be done, and then "wicd", but upon boot I find out that they're not properly working and I have to manually enter those commands | 07:52 |
| Flynn | How can I make Opera my default web browser? | 07:53 |
| snoopie | hello you have link of backtrack.fr? | 07:53 |
| dirt | VE2EBP: actuall try | 07:53 |
| dirt | VE2EBP: nautilus --check | 07:54 |
| Chepoll | gartral: when an I/O device is connected to computer, operating system will recognize it as an external device, and consider it as a file. For example, if you mount an external hard disk, it will only seem as a file. And you'll need to mount it, and then it will appear as a folder to you in which you can do stuff | 07:54 |
| StepNjump | sorry dirt, I lost my other window | 07:54 |
| iceroot | if i have a deb which is having a dependency to a newer libc6 hen my system has, i guess there is only the way to update libc6 (and break my system)? | 07:54 |
| StepNjump | dirt, did you reply... ? sorry about that... couldn't read your reply | 07:54 |
| gartral | Chepoll: i understand that.. but this is an internal GPS chip, connected through a USB port.. | 07:54 |
| dirt | StepNjump: not sure what the question was. | 07:55 |

| StepNjump | dirt, is there a way to reinstall all over the update from scratch on top and above? Or would recommend that I get to download the 11.04 and reinstall from scratch? Oh sorry.. just realized.. this is VE2EBP, just connected in a separate xchat windows.. Couldn't get back to my previous window because firefox froze! Still no way to alt tab between windows. Should I maybe try to reboot? Really don't know what to do dirt | 07:58 |

| Chepoll | gartral: I will see to it after I start my xSession ok? feel free to repeat your quesiton here though | 07:59 |
| Flynn | Is there a big difference between 10.10 and 11.04? | 07:59 |
| Chepoll | I had an issue regarding initiation of dbus-daemon, wicd upon startup. "dbus-daemon --system" should be done, and then "wicd", but upon boot I find out that they're not properly working and I have to manually enter those commands | 07:59 |
| AgresiV | AndChat-, the initial problem was I didn`t found a Xorg.conf file ... rebooted to recovery ...console... x -configure ... it said to test with x -conf /root/xorg.conf.new... did that and the screen went black.. after 4 min I restarted | 07:59 |
| StepNjump | Flynn, I upgraded to 11.04 and I lost my main menu! | 08:00 |
| dirt | StepNjump: oh I thought you were just having troubles with Nautilus, hmmm | 08:00 |
| Chepoll | StepNjump: right click the top bar and add it back? | 08:00 |
| StepNjump | yep because when I invoke nautilus, I can't see my files | 08:00 |
| dirt | StepNjump: I haven't played with 11.04 yet, maybe try removing Unity and installing Gnome2 again?? | 08:00 |
| Flynn | StepNJump, thats why upgrades always scare me. If it aint broke, don't fix it. | 08:00 |
| madsailor | Flynn, yes. new kernel, new default DE (from gnome 2 to Unity) | 08:00 |
| AgresiV | do I have to manually change the xorg.conf.new to X11 and rename it to xorg.conf ??? | 08:00 |
| gartral | how can i start a Gobi 2000's GPS chip in ubuntu.. i installed gpsd and linked it too the Gobi's gps port on /dev/ttyUSB2.. but it wont read.. | 08:01 |

| StepNjump | lol Flynn! yep | 08:01 |
| AgresiV | yup | 08:01 |
| StepNjump | I did it flynn dirt because I wanted to try the libreoffice cuz openoffice kept crashing on me | 08:01 |

| kinections | i'm having a bit of trouble with the new ubuntu release, it seems to have broken my digital surround sound, does anybody know why that would happen and hwat is needed to get it back? it doesn't seem like anything but digital stereo is availble from the sound configuration. | 08:02 |
| StepNjump | dirt, how should I do that? | 08:02 |
| madsailor | Flynn : http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/whats-new | 08:02 |
| StepNjump | dirt, what would happen if I tried to upgrade again via terminal? | 08:02 |
| Flynn | madsailor, last time i tried a different desktop eviroment (KDE) it was too bloated. | 08:02 |
| AndChat- | Agresiv: you can copy the file to /etc/X11 but you will only boot to a black screen as you did before, so I woun't use it | 08:02 |
| dirt | StepNjump: the upgrade is done, but Ubuntu moved to a new desktop UI called Unity | 08:03 |
| dirt | StepNjump: based on Gnome3 or osmething, I'm lacking in knowledge in that dept to be honest | 08:03 |
| AndChat- | Flynn: lxde is light | 08:03 |
| StepNjump | dirt, I had unity already cuz I am running on a netbook | 08:03 |

| fetokun | does anybody know how? | 08:04 |
| dirt | StepNjump: I'm not sure man, sounds like it's just upgrade woes | 08:04 |
| belak | in 10.04, is libvte-dev broken, or is it just me? | 08:04 |
| gartral | StepNjump: what broke | 08:04 |
| madsailor | Flynn, the new Unity is getting mixed reviews. Seems polarized...some love it, some hate it, few in-between. Luckily you have the option to startup Natty in classic mode (gnome 2)at the login screen if you don't like unity | 08:04 |
| StepNjump | I think I will download 11.04 from the website and then will wipe out the current install with the new download by wiping the partition clean | 08:04 |
| dirt | AgresiV: can you throw your xorg.conf in a pastebin?? | 08:04 |
| MyWay | hello, I've just upgraded to ubuntu natty x64, i see empathy letter icon, but i can't click on it, nothing happens! I can click only on my username on the top right, somebody knows if it's a bug or what? | 08:04 |

| Submarine | Is it normal that if I run 10.10, upgrade to 11.04 does not show in update manager? | 08:05 |
| Flynn | StepNjump, I know I feel like this kernel is like driving a car made outta junkyard parts. | 08:05 |
| dirt | StepNjump: this is why people store their home directories on seperate partitions | 08:05 |
| dirt | so you can just do fresh installs without losing personal files and such | 08:06 |
| AndChat- | Agresiv: let us look what you have. I'd try the virtualbox one as well. You can always rename it out | 08:06 |
| StepNjump | Ok, how could I backup my grub configuration files before doing this? I have a win 7 partition that I need to be able to log onto every so often. If I download Ubuntu from scratch and then install it clean on the ext4 partition, how will grub remember where my win 7 partition is located? | 08:06 |
| tripelb | What is this about? Is it true? I'd like to understand. -- Skype 5 is not likely to work on Linux even on very powerful computers. | 08:06 |
| tripelb | The very unpleasant fact is that Linux does not seem to be suitable for modern standards of web conferencing. There are problems with Linux audio and video drivers, Xorg, etc. (not to mention the evil PulseAudio). | 08:06 |
| AgresiV | dirt, The one in X11 folder is empty the one marked as new can`t seem to find it... | 08:06 |
| Flynn | madsailor, I still think If it aint broke don't fix it. Maybe I'll try 12. whatever | 08:06 |
| AgresiV | or maybe I missplaced it | 08:06 |
| StepNjump | dirt, ok, I will try to remember that! It's not a big deal for me because I backed up everything on an ext hdd | 08:07 |
| gartral | StepNjump: that should be automatic.. grub will see the win7 partition and add it.. as long as you dun nuke it | 08:07 |
| dirt | StepNjump: yea, in that case wipe away, save yourself the headache ;) | 08:07 |
| AndChat- | Stepnjump: the files in /etc/grub.d will need archiving then. | 08:07 |
| StepNjump | gartral ok! Yes earlier on, after the upgrade, I had the error message BOOTMGR missing, I pressed F8 and grub found it I guess cuz it rebooted | 08:08 |
| atlef | Submarine, you need to go into software sources and under the updates tab change to normal releases from lts at the bottom | 08:08 |
| StepNjump | ok andchat- thanks | 08:08 |
| dirt | AgresiV: cd /;find . -name 'xorg.conf' | 08:08 |
| Submarine | atlef, this does not change anything | 08:09 |
| madsailor | Flynn, yep, if 'ain't broke' is a high priority, waiting for an LTS release is the way to go ;) | 08:09 |

| atlef | Submarine, and no new release in the top of update manager? | 08:11 |
| magn3ts | bazhang, well I'm running it in a VM and I snapshotted before I tried it, but I was just curious if there were prebuilt pkgs or anything other than building from source. I detest that the popular build scripts litters up ~. | 08:11 |
| AgresiV | dirt, yeah... told ya :) | 08:11 |
| Submarine | atlef, no | 08:11 |

| AgresiV | linux is hard to learn but I enjoy it every second | 09:02 |
| trankev | is the 32 bit a better choice to use than the 64? | 09:02 |
| maxa_ | i have try sudo apt-get install gnome, but seem like its doest work | 09:02 |
| abrakazam | maxa_: look inside /var/log/apt/history.log - the last thing should tell you which packages have been updatet | 09:02 |
| avalon_ | AgresiV: that is the truth | 09:02 |

| babarnazmi | May i report the mirror issue again or just wait for my turn :) | 09:05 |
| bazhang | !fx4 | siddhantchd | 09:05 |
| ubottu | siddhantchd: 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 | 09:05 |
| abrakazam | maxa_: try "sudo cat /var/log/apt/history.log" | 09:05 |
| siddhantchd | okie thanx guys | 09:05 |
| dirt | siddhantchd: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ;) | 09:06 |
| AgresiV | dirt, It`s crule sometimes becouse newbies like me often tend to damage rather then repair or optimize .... one of the many thing I love about linux is that you have direct acces to every command line and source code | 09:06 |
| AgresiV | not like windows press the button and it works :D you can really understand HOW it works | 09:06 |
| nowat | babarnazmi; what is wrong with the mirror? | 09:07 |
| babarnazmi | Its not working at all | 09:07 |

| Dr_Willis | novitololo: dont forget your swap partition also. :) | 09:31 |
| usr13 | abrakazam: If that's the case, he can prolly just mv or rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:31 |
| maxa_ | usr13 : i not even know what i install on upgrade this morning | 09:31 |
| usr13 | maxa_: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:31 |
| usr13 | What does that say? ^^ | 09:31 |
| === paulius is now known as pauliuspa | ||
| maxa_ | usr13 : i have to take out the livecd first | 09:32 |
| novitololo | Dr_Willis I've a NTFS to be shared between windows/ubuntu, do I have to specify something in there? | 09:32 |
| usr13 | maxa_: Well if you have it mounted you can look at it and see. | 09:32 |
| usr13 | maxa_: Is the filesystem mounted now? | 09:32 |
| maxa_ | usr13 : no | 09:33 |
| usr13 | maxa_: well just boot it again and see. | 09:33 |

| bj0 | i installed ntp but it doesn't seem to be setting the clock, the offset just grows continuously | 09:36 |
| maxa_ | usr13 : nothing happen, not mount | 09:36 |
| abrakazam | maxa_: are you still running the livecd? | 09:37 |
| usr13 | bj0: It will in time, but if you want to set it now, do ntpdate pool.ntp.org | 09:37 |
| maxa_ | abrakazam : no | 09:37 |
| usr13 | bj0: sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org | 09:37 |
| abrakazam | maxa_: good. so if you have done the above command, restart the pc and see what happens | 09:37 |
| usr13 | maxa_: Did you issue command rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 09:37 |
| usr13 | maxa_: Yea restart or do startx | 09:38 |
| Vooloo | how can a driver load then I have blacklisted it? | 09:38 |
| usr13 | maxa_: You can just issue command startx and see what happens. | 09:38 |

| kara | hi i cannot find the Startup in this laptop | 09:39 |
| Dr_Willis | !startup | 09:39 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 09:39 |
| kara | i want to run the calculator everytime i start... but there is not startup in the start menu | 09:39 |
| maxa_ | usr13 : abrakazam : thanks very much!!!! its work!! definitely love you both!!!!! | 09:39 |
| Dr_Willis | These factoids need tweajked for unity. :) | 09:39 |
| bj0 | usr13: thanks, i tried that, it worked when i ran it, but then the offsett just started growing again | 09:39 |
| bazhang | kara, in unity 11.04? | 09:40 |
| usr13 | maxa_: glad to be of service | 09:40 |

| Rods_Tiger | what's going on with libreoffice and openoffice. | 09:40 |
| kara | actually i have no start menu, i have an application-places-system menu at the top | 09:40 |
| Dr_Willis | kara: you can just pin the launcher to the panel at the left if you wanted to, | 09:40 |
| usr13 | bj0: You can tweak the hardware clock and I would guess that is the trouble. Just a sec. | 09:40 |
| Dr_Willis | kara: Oh. you are not using Unity then. | 09:40 |
| kara | should i use unity? | 09:40 |
| Dr_Willis | kara: depends on what you want. Youseem to be thinking in windows terms... | 09:41 |
| bj0 | usr13: it seems like the ntpd isn't setting the clock at all, it's pulling the right info from other servers | 09:41 |
| bazhang | Rods_Tiger, 11.04 uses libre | 09:41 |
| Dr_Willis | kara: You could just drag the calculator icon from themenu to the desktop and have a launcher there for it when needed | 09:41 |
| kara | ok thanks | 09:41 |
| Rods_Tiger | I did an update last night and openoffice was installed | 09:41 |

| Rods_Tiger | yes it is, why are you telling me it isn't | 09:42 |
| bazhang | Rods_Tiger, 11.04 does not use openoffice | 09:42 |
| kara | is unity easier to use? | 09:42 |
| Rods_Tiger | then why did openoffice get installed last night? | 09:42 |
| megamanx1978 | Can someone please help me with play on linux I am getting this error trying to install the Oblivion DVD: http://imagebin.org/152126 | 09:42 |

| usr13 | bj0: sudo hwclock -w | 09:45 |
| bazhang | babarnazmi, you get the livecd, wubi on that | 09:46 |
| babarnazmi | Oh, ok, thanks , let me try that | 09:46 |
| usr13 | bj0: There is a way to adjust the speed of the hardware clock and I'm searching for info on that. Still looking .... | 09:46 |
| lsq | is there statistic software like spxx or minitab | 09:47 |
| bj0 | usr13: so what's the problem? ntpd can't keep up with the hw clock? | 09:47 |
| usr13 | bj0: I'm sorry, I did not say it right above, let me re-write the above comment | 09:47 |
| madsailor | will the upcoming keynote at the UDS on monday be available online..and if so, where? | 09:47 |
| bj0 | i thought it just wasn't setting the clock as it should (it worked in 10.10) | 09:47 |
| usr13 | bj0: You can sync the system time to the hardware clock with command: hwclock -w | 09:48 |
| bazhang | madsailor, probably a livecast and there will be a channel on freenode as well | 09:48 |
| bj0 | usr13: i ran ntpdate again, then did that hwclock command, then started ntpd | 09:48 |
| bazhang | madsailor, #ubuntu-uds is the channel | 09:48 |
| madsailor | bazhang, thanks. | 09:49 |

| infinitum-Omega | anybody have any idea where i should look for help? | 09:54 |
| blubaustin | hello | 09:54 |
| Pudabudigada | Hello, odd problem here, I can't kill the boinc process in with 'top' | 09:54 |
| html_inprogress | is there a channel? | 09:54 |
| usr13 | bj0: Well, I've not found what I was looking for, but I read once that there is a way to slow down or speed up the hardware clock. You could give me your email address and I could send it to you later if I find it, or you can just search for the info on your own. But for now, you could set a crontab job to reset the time peroidically, like 2 or 3 times a day, but that's a terribly ugly workaround. | 09:55 |
| Pudabudigada | It's taking up all my CPU time | 09:55 |
| blubaustin | can't use the killall command? | 09:55 |
| abrakazam | Pudabudigada: tried kill -9 ? | 09:55 |
| Pudabudigada | I use top, the type 'k, enter' | 09:55 |
| usr13 | bj0 Let me look again | 09:55 |
| Pudabudigada | and then a new process spawns | 09:55 |
| Pudabudigada | And I type the PID :p | 09:55 |
| megamanx1978 | Does wine support games with DRM yet? | 09:55 |
| bj0 | usr13: thanks, i'll keep looking, if i get desperate enough i might try the ntp mailing lists :) | 09:56 |
| blubaustin | Well I'm having a problem trying to compile pxclient and this is the error its kicking out http://paste.ubuntu.com/604364/ | 09:56 |
| Pudabudigada | abrakazam, What will kill -9 do? | 09:56 |
| raven_ | 11.04 how to start applications by dropping files on it on panel | 09:56 |
| Pudabudigada | Will it ask me which process? | 09:56 |
| abrakazam | megamanx1978: there is a list of supported games on the wine webpage | 09:56 |
| raven_ | 11.04 mobile network does not connect any more | 09:56 |
| Rods_Tiger | I can't very well type 156 lines in here, the text box isn't that big | 09:56 |
| blubaustin | if you just type kilall and hit tab a few times it will give u a list of processes. | 09:56 |
| Pudabudigada | Thanks | 09:57 |
| blubaustin | then find the process you want to kill, then type killall and its name | 09:57 |

| coony | hi | 09:57 |
| Pudabudigada | so if the PID is 0000, what would I type? | 09:58 |
| blubaustin | kill 0000 | 09:58 |
| Pudabudigada | 'k :p | 09:58 |
| Pudabudigada | It won't change, will it? | 09:58 |
| abrakazam | megamanx1978: http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 09:58 |
| Younder | sudo kill -9 0000 probably.. | 09:58 |
| Dr_Willis | raven_: that just puts an icon on it to launch it later.. it dosent autostart it. | 09:58 |
| Rods_Tiger | I've copied and pasted it in. | 09:58 |
| raven_ | Dr_Willis, how to change that to the old behaviour | 09:59 |
| html_inprogress | megamanx1978, i think ,,, but can i get some help with command and conqur,, red alater | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | isent the PID of 0000 like for 'init' ? | 09:59 |
| Pudabudigada | Killed it. | 09:59 |
| Pudabudigada | It respawned. | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | raven_: what old behavior>? ive never seen any gnome panels work that way. | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | !autostart | 09:59 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 09:59 |
| Rods_Tiger | this is the url of the website I copied it to: http://paste.ubuntu.com/604366/ | 09:59 |
| Rods_Tiger | can you see it from here? | 09:59 |
| Younder | makes sense if it's a essential kernel demon | 09:59 |
| raven_ | Dr_Willis, it did before ubuntu get more and more annoying | 10:00 |
| blubaustin | you can add program to startup programs under system>prefrences. | 10:00 |
| blubaustin | startup applications, then click add. | 10:00 |
| Dr_Willis | raven_: no idea. i dont ercall gnome ever working that way | 10:00 |
| bullgard4 | Where does the command '/msg ubottu find xapian' look for the catchword xapian? | 10:00 |
| usr13 | jb0 I think this is it, look at the part about "The Adjust Function" at http://linux.die.net/man/8/hwclock | 10:00 |
| Pudabudigada | DR_Willis I just tried dropping a file onto a panel application, Raven is right. | 10:01 |
| StarClaw | Hey | 10:01 |
| Rods_Tiger | I don't think anyone else can see it, it's only on my Macs browser | 10:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Pudabudigada: perhaps you can clarfiy what hes saying then... | 10:01 |
| Rods_Tiger | do I need to save it, or send it somewhere? | 10:01 |
| raven_ | Dr_Willis, why ubuntu more and more becomes to having fun with repairing the system like windows instead of being able to work with it | 10:01 |
| protv_ | How can I cahnge the order of sound card (set default sound card)? I have two sound cards "cat /proc/asound/modules", how can I make the second one the default one? | 10:01 |
| Pudabudigada | I think he means 'how can I stop applications opening files I drop on them?' | 10:02 |
| Pudabudigada | And that process won't die >.< | 10:02 |
| Dr_Willis | raven_: if you have an actual support question - ask it. | 10:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Pudabudigada: :) not sure what hes meaning now... | 10:02 |

| Dr_Willis | sunit: i would say its possible.. but the details.. i would have to research | 10:05 |
| Pudabudigada | So, is there a way to stop boinc from spawning a new process when I kill it, or, even better, stopping it starting at all unless I tell it to. | 10:06 |

| abrakazam | hm. coming back to the question that brought me here :D - does anybody know if the 3d-support is working for the AMD hd57** series of graphic cards using the open source driver? | 10:07 |
| Rods_Tiger | I'll do it again, then | 10:07 |
| brontosaurusrex | Dr_Willis, right, i did make-googleearth-package so far | 10:07 |
| Dr_Willis | sunit: Im not even sure how you acca cron job from teh command line . that would be step 1. then figure out how to automate it. | 10:07 |
| brontosaurusrex | Dr_Willis, and it is doing something ... | 10:07 |
| Dr_Willis | sunit: worse case. Yiou may need to use a script that calls upon the power of sed/awk/perl :) | 10:07 |
| oCean | sunit: you can use the /etc/cron.d for that. Just create a script that creates a new 'cron' file there | 10:08 |
| Rods_Tiger | This is the new page: http://paste.ubuntu.com/604368/ | 10:08 |
| sunit | Dr_Willis: thanks again | 10:08 |
| Rods_Tiger | same as the old page | 10:08 |
| BlouBlou | brontosaurusrex: if you downloaded it from web, use "chmod +x file" and "./file" | 10:08 |
| BlouBlou | it will open the installer | 10:08 |
| Pudabudigada | Is there a way to see what applications open themselves on boot? Other than the gui tool in the system menu, that is. | 10:08 |
| brontosaurusrex | BlouBlou, no, thats actually in repos, but not clear on how to use it | 10:09 |
| atlef | Pudabudigada, bootchart | 10:09 |
| Pudabudigada | cheers | 10:09 |
| BlouBlou | brontosaurusrex: I think it's in repos, but, is it updated? it may not work with google servers | 10:09 |
| sunit | oCean: how can I create a script that creates a new cron in /etc/cron.d ? | 10:10 |
| Pudabudigada | Is there a CLI way to do it? | 10:10 |
| Pudabudigada | Something that's built into ubuntu. | 10:10 |

| Dr_Willis | sunit: 'proper use of 'echo > /pathj/to/file.txt' is one dirty way | 10:15 |
| iceroot | sunit: echo "* * * * * foo" > /etc/cron.d/foobar | 10:15 |

| Dr_Willis | zen: ive had some machines not work with grub with a USB keyboard. but did work with a Ps2 keyboard. a few were fixed by the 'legacy-usb' setting in teh bios | 10:18 |

| Skalman12 | hi - in kde (if I remember correctly) you can use multiple folders for the desktop at the same time - is there any similar solution for Gnome or Unity? | 10:19 |
| Pudabudigada | *usr13, I tried that, it doesn't show boinc | 10:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Thrawn: ALSA | 10:19 |
| cyclopse | ts an application to communicate and transfer files on lan, you can find it in software center | 10:19 |
| Dr_Willis | pulse audio uses alsa. | 10:20 |
| abrakazam | Pudabudigada: have you tried to uninstall the boinc-client? | 10:20 |
| dragonkeeper | how do i uninstall unity completely ? | 10:20 |
| omid_ | hi. i updated ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.4 and it really put me in trubles.how can i downgrade it back to 10.10 or 10.4? the unity desktop sucks and in grub2 i cant access my opensuse installition | 10:20 |
| Pudabudigada | abrakazam, That's next on the list, I'd prefer to fix it though. | 10:20 |
| usr13 | Pudabudigada: what is boinc ? | 10:20 |
| Dr_Willis | dragonkeeper: what are you going to use instead? | 10:20 |
| === Nappz is now known as Nappz-Zzz | ||
| abrakazam | usr13: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ | 10:20 |
| dragonkeeper | Dr_Willis gnome 3 | 10:20 |
| Pudabudigada | usr13, Like set@home | 10:20 |
| abrakazam | i guess | 10:20 |
| Pudabudigada | usr13, But with support for lots of projects. | 10:21 |
| Dr_Willis | !gnome3 | 10:21 |
| 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. | 10:21 |
| nix4free | omid: try to log in with classical desktop; | 10:21 |
| Pudabudigada | *seti@home | 10:21 |
| dragonkeeper | well that wasnt really an answer to my question =S | 10:21 |
| omid_ | dragonkeeper yes. gnome3 is way better than unity. i really cand understand why ubuntu developers switched from gnome to unity | 10:21 |
| nix4free | @ omid: try to log in with classical desktop first; otherwise you might need to set up the whole machine again | 10:22 |
| Jordan_U | !classic | omid_ | 10:22 |
| ubottu | omid_: 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. | 10:22 |
| cyclopse | Is anyone using IP messenger on ubuntu 11.04? | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | dragonkeeper: Gnome3 is not really supported here by us yet.. so thats proberly teh best answer you are going to get. | 10:22 |
| Jordan_U | omid_: What happens when you try to boot OpenSuSe? | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | I imagine there will be tons oif breakage if you try to remove unity. | 10:22 |
| BlouBlou | omid_: Becayse they wanted to use their own enviroment, I think that's the reason | 10:22 |
| dragonkeeper | well my question was how do i uninstall unity not is gnome 3 compatible | 10:22 |
| novitololo | I've an IP cam but I don't know it's current IP. Is there any tool in Ubuntu that I can connect to that cam (ethernet) and get its IP?? | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | I have seen guides for compiling gnome3 and haveing it work alongside unity | 10:23 |
| BlouBlou | dragonkeeper: Search it in Synaptic and just unistall it | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | which gets around needing to remove unity. | 10:23 |
| omid_ | jordan_U the opensuse booting proccess is shown and nothing happens. in my laptop i was forced to remove ubuntu and reinstall suse(which i use most of time) | 10:23 |
| usr13 | Pudabudigada: http://pastebin.com/Ge1CqsZ3 | 10:23 |
| zen | Dr. Willis thanks, i will try | 10:23 |
| Jordan_U | omid_: So you get stuck at a boot splash screen? | 10:23 |
| dragonkeeper | well i have gnome 3 on here just it doesnt work well with unity | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | I thought if you just inzstalled gnome3 from the ppa's you dident have to remove unity. it would do so.. | 10:24 |
| Pudabudigada | usr13, ? | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | but the whole unuity+g3 stuff is in such a state of flux right now. who knows untill you try. :) | 10:24 |
| abrakazam | Pudabudigada: have you tried to stop the boinc client using the commandline? | 10:24 |
| raven_ | 11.04 unison does not connect to other machine | 10:24 |
| Pudabudigada | abhinav_singh, | 10:24 |
| usr13 | Pudabudigada: Just showing what the options are, (from the repos) | 10:24 |
| omid_ | BlouBlou why other major distros like SUSE,Redhat, debian etc dont try to create their own environment? | 10:24 |
| Pudabudigada | oops | 10:24 |
| omid_ | Jordan_U yes. | 10:25 |
| saimanoj | my hp printer is not working after installing unity | 10:25 |
| Pudabudigada | abrakazam, Yes, it respawns instantly. | 10:25 |
| Pudabudigada | usr13, yeah, the one I'm having the problem with is -client | 10:25 |
| usr13 | Pudabudigada: So it's running and you are trying to stop it? | 10:25 |
| Pudabudigada | Yup | 10:25 |
| brontosaurusrex | ok the earth installer from repos did it, it was: make-googleearth-package and sudo dpkg -i ./googleearth_6.0.2.2074+0.6.0-1_i386.deb (and thats it) | 10:25 |
| Pudabudigada | And it comes back | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | omid_: i rember when ximian sort of forked gnome years ago.. :) so weirder things have happened. | 10:26 |
| eXp`iRc|65082 | ciao | 10:26 |

I unplugged my win drive when I was installing ubuntu so I didn't accidentally wipe it (they are identical drives) and now I don't get the option to boot windows or ubuntu, only windows. To boot ubuntu I have to unplug the windows drive...help! | 10:32 |

| n2i | canyouseeme.org :3 | 10:33 |
| usr13 | Pudabudigada: If that didn't work, you may need to see if you can find out what other application is spawning it. It is possible it will show up in /var/log/messages You can open another window and monitor as you do these things. In this other window do tail -f /var/log/messages and just let it run. | 10:34 |
| usr13 | Pudabudigada: Must have mystyped. | 10:34 |
| rohtash | from gurgaon city | 10:34 |
| Jordan_U | mang0: Can you just change the boot order in the BIOS? | 10:34 |

| ubottu | 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. | 11:22 |

| gartral | usr13: where does apt-get download put the files? | 11:23 |
| abrakazam | gartral: it puts it into your local repository. no need to know exactly where that is | 11:23 |
| gartral | abrakazam: yes, i REALLLY do need to exactly where it's put. i have a broken-state package that's preventing me from installing ANYTHING through apt-get. | 11:24 |
| === Guest89723 is now known as nosinmiubuntu | ||
| abrakazam | gartral: have you triedsudo apt-get -f ? | 11:25 |
| abrakazam | *sudo apt-get -f | 11:25 |
| Jon-- | How good of a release is 11.04? Stable? Worth upgrading? I'm sitting on 10.04. Should I be upgrading? | 11:26 |
| abrakazam | usr13: whats his problem? | 11:26 |
| gartral | abrakazam: read back, i've tried that, it complains about the broken package and prevents me from fixing/forcing the install. | 11:26 |
| kyubutsu | gartral: synaptic fails too? | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon--: if you dont need any of the features and you dont want unity.. no. | 11:27 |
| gartral | kyubutsu: yes | 11:28 |
| Sidewinder1 | gartral, if you've already tried this without success I apologize; how about using Synaptic Package Mgr. and have it fix broken packages? | 11:29 |
| cntrational | are there any good ubuntu support channels? | 11:29 |
| Dr_Willis | cntrational: here.. then thers other specific channels | 11:29 |
| Dr_Willis | cntrational: then theres the forums and the askubuntu.com site | 11:29 |
| cntrational | Dr_Willis: here? I said *good* | 11:29 |
| Jon-- | Dr_Willis, Will the next LTS release have good support for GNOME, or is that undetermined? I don't like Unity. | 11:29 |
| abrakazam | cntrational: lol | 11:29 |
| Dr_Willis | cntrational: You could go PAY for comercial support.. have a nice day. | 11:29 |
| abrakazam | Jon--: i think the next version of ubuntu wont have any support for gnome | 11:29 |
| Jon-- | ... | 11:30 |
| kyubutsu | gartral: as Sidewinder1 states, there is an option within synaptic to fix broken packages, try that yet? | 11:30 |
| cntrational | abrakazam: no. it will run on Gnome 3 | 11:30 |
| Jon-- | Guess who's switching to Fedora? | 11:30 |
| Jon-- | ;) | 11:30 |
| gartral | kyubutsu: package manager failed too open | 11:30 |
| abrakazam | cntrational: news to me o_O | 11:30 |
| cntrational | abrakazam: uh, yeah | 11:30 |
| chris_chan | Gnome... | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | abrakazam: ya got the gnome 3 desktop then the gnome3 underlaying libs and stuff. :) unity is on top of that lower gnome3 layer | 11:30 |
| Sidewinder1 | Was wondering if he was ignoring me :-) | 11:30 |
| evilsherpa | hi all, um, my NAS200 has dissapeared from my mounted drives list, I rebooted which is probably where the problem originated - I cant seem to connect to the ip address as it was known | 11:30 |
| cntrational | abrakazam: gnome 3, with a Unity front end | 11:30 |
| abrakazam | ugh :P | 11:31 |
| gartral | upgrade manager DID however see, and fully remove the package | 11:31 |
| gartral | upgrade manager FTW | 11:31 |
| Jon-- | So as far as I can tell, my options are proceed with shaky GNOME support in Ubuntu, learn to like Unity, or change distributions? | 11:31 |
| abrakazam | gnome 3 with a gnome 3 frontend is what i would like. but its only my opinion :/ | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | abrakazam: theres bound to be some Ubuntu variants that do that. :) | 11:31 |
| gartral | Sidewinder1: thank you | 11:32 |
| Sidewinder1 | gartral, No prob... | 11:32 |
| cntrational | Jon--: there's still a regular Gnome option, but yeah, Unity will be the only option from 11.10 on | 11:32 |
| Jon-- | Why wouldn't they bite the bullet and have Gnome support for their next LTS? | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | of course Ubuntu may change their mind again and in a year unity may be a dead project.. whio can tell | 11:32 |
| Jon-- | I imagine there's a lot of people that go LTS -> LTS without intermediate upgrading | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome apps should work on unity just fine. | 11:33 |
| Sidewinder1 | LTS, here. | 11:33 |
| Jon-- | I'm also LTS | 11:33 |
| cntrational | Jon--: it's still Gnome, just not the Gnome frontend | 11:33 |
| kyubutsu | unity is an ayatana project. i don't think its going anywhere anytime soon. | 11:33 |
| Sidewinder1 | My first was Gutsy; then went to Hardy, then Lucid. | 11:33 |
| Jon-- | It just seems to me like someone at Canonical got really pissed at the GNOME developers and is being very unreasonable. Is it really that hard to keep support of the GNOME desktop environment? | 11:34 |
| kjxl9 | hey guys | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon--: support of it is not being removed. Just a differnt default gui. | 11:35 |
| cntrational | Jon--: to be fair, Gnome 3 isn't going to have the original desktop environment, either | 11:35 |
| abrakazam | Jon--: it seems to me that cannonical got pissed of all the people saying that they would only take debian and make a nice wallpaper and some fonts and call it ubuntu :D | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon--: 'unreasonable' is often a term used to describe the GNOME devs also. :) but i only watch the flamewars. | 11:35 |
| kjxl9 | is there a free audio production software? | 11:36 |
| Eruaran | hello | 11:36 |
| Jon-- | I guess it's time to learn a tiling window manager and say fuck it. | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Unity has some neat features and ideas. give it a year to mature. | 11:36 |
| kyubutsu | remember, offtopic at #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon--: theres lubuntu, its getting very well done at this time. | 11:36 |
| abrakazam | kyubutsu: sorry cnr | 11:36 |
| Eruaran | As someone who works with regular people and their PC's six days a week I think Ubuntu 11.04 is the best version ever. | 11:37 |
| kyubutsu | !language | 11:37 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 11:37 |
| kjxl9 | is there a free audio production software? | 11:38 |
| Eruaran | Its not perfect, but nothing is. | 11:38 |
| abrakazam | kjxl9: have you tried audacity? | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis | I find it too hard to train the wife to use Unity. :) she a grandmother.. but i set her up with a simple dock at the bottom. and now shes happy | 11:38 |
| kjxl9 | i mean audio PRODUCTION software | 11:38 |
| kjxl9 | like rosegarden anf FL studio | 11:39 |
| Sidewinder1 | kjxl9, Have you tried Audacity? I believe it's installed by default. | 11:39 |
| Jon-- | kyubutsu, My apologies. | 11:39 |
| usr13 | kjxl9: audacity - A fast, cross-platform audio editor | 11:39 |
| siddhantchd | how do i play 1080p mkv files in ubuntu? | 11:39 |
| Dr_Willis | siddhantchd: vlc and totem can play them here. | 11:39 |
| kyubutsu | there are many choices in Ubuntu Software Center under Sound and Video category | 11:39 |
| kjxl9 | audacity is for recording and editing im talking about MAKING music | 11:39 |
| abrakazam | kjxl9: there is a derivate of ubuntu for audio professionals i think. its called ubuntu-studio | 11:39 |
| Dr_Willis | siddhantchd: you may need the ubuntu-restricted-extras installed | 11:40 |
| siddhantchd | Dr_Willis: okie i was able to run them but forwarding them was diasabled | 11:40 |
| Jon-- | siddhantchd, Try VLC | 11:40 |
| osse | When I boot from a 11.04 64-bit Live CD the message "Error: prefix not set" quickly flashes and then I'm presented with a GRUB2 menu where I can choose between trying and installing. After making a choice the screen goes completely black and nothing happens. What can I do? | 11:40 |
| abrakazam | kjxl9: you will of course get most of the packages for vanilla ubuntu too | 11:40 |
| Dr_Willis | siddhantchd: that can depend on the video file. Some times they are encoded badly and that can cause forard/reverseing issues | 11:40 |
| MaRk-I | kjxl9: LMMS, and rosegarden | 11:40 |
| kjxl9 | ??? | 11:40 |
| siddhantchd | okie | 11:41 |
| siddhantchd | than c | 11:41 |
| Jon-- | What's the new official music player, and is its package support relatively up to date on LTS release 10.04? | 11:41 |
| atlef | Jon--, banshee | 11:41 |
| abrakazam | Jon--: i think its banshee. and its in the rep | 11:41 |
| abrakazam | Jon--: repository | 11:41 |
| Jon-- | banshee Candidate: 1.6.1-1~lucid1 this old compared to 11.04/10? | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !info banshee | 11:42 |
| ubottu | banshee (source: banshee): Media Management and Playback application. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.0-2ubuntu1 (natty), package size 1804 kB, installed size 5480 kB | 11:42 |
| abrakazam | Jon--: if you really need a newer version than in the repository, you can try the developers ppa | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | seems old to me. :) | 11:42 |
| Jon-- | Yes, yes it is. | 11:42 |
| Jon-- | D: | 11:42 |
| brontosaurusrex | siddhantchd, mplayer -fs file.mkv (and read some guide about shortcuts) <- that was always the better for me, also check if your gpu can do vdpau and set mplayer conf accordingly... | 11:42 |
| abrakazam | Jon--: its ppa:banshee-team/ppa | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | thats why i dont use lts. :() | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | bye all.. bbl | 11:43 |
| Jon-- | Bye willis | 11:43 |
| Sidewinder1 | Bye Doc. | 11:43 |
| kjxl9 | is there a channel where i can learn basic and/or advanced use of terminal? | 11:45 |
| Jon-- | kjxl9, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 11:45 |
| Jon-- | That's a good intro, if you want more info, I'm sure someone can link you to a more complete guide | 11:46 |
| Sidewinder1 | kjxl9, Try this link, it's old but has many links to term. use, commands: | 11:46 |
| Sidewinder1 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=171507 | 11:46 |
| Jon-- | Just play around with it you'll be a terminal pro in a matter of... Several months. ;) | 11:47 |
| abrakazam | Jon--: or years :D | 11:47 |
| Antonis | hello does anyone know of a good app to send sms from ubuntu? I don't want an app that sends through a web service but through my phone.. I have a Nokia N97 but the ovi suite won't work through wine. I need to send messages to 110 phones (for my company) and it's a hell to send them all by hand | 11:47 |
| brontosaurusrex | Jon--, sound like a disease (terminal pro) :) | 11:48 |
| abrakazam | kjxl9: the only way to really learn using the terminal is to force yourself to use it as much as possible | 11:49 |

| Chepoll | Gothfunc: ok then, just go to /etc/init.d/ and see which file is associated with initiating the sound and whatever | 12:07 |
| Itqan | i nm using this for first time | 12:07 |
| Gothfunc | right | 12:07 |
| SuperLag | meganerd: the Intel cards didn't. I tried both the "Intel Wifi Link 1000" and "E6200" and neither of them would let me set Master Mode. | 12:08 |
| Itqan | FloodBot1, what does enter as punctuation mean? | 12:08 |
| Gothfunc | Chepoll, alsa-mixer-save and pulseaudio look relevant | 12:08 |
| DirtyDawg | well even tho i cant see the install because its so dimm, i am now "Upgrading" the os to 11.04, i have my fingers crossed it will work :P | 12:08 |
| Chepoll | Itqan: it means you shouldn't enter after every sentence. You periods and command so your messages don't flood the chat line by line | 12:09 |
| abrakazam | Itqan: floodbot is just a bot. it said you shouldn't write to many lines in a too short time because its sometimes miused for flooding | 12:09 |
| Itqan | oh thanxx | 12:10 |
| Chepoll | Gothfunc: I don't think that you previously modified pulseaudio. then it must be alsa-mixer-saver | 12:10 |
| Autoclesis | the next upgrade will get rid of the classic option ? | 12:10 |
| Itqan | so anybody would like to help me with my problem? | 12:10 |
| Itqan | any solutions? | 12:10 |
| atlef | Autoclesis, i think so | 12:11 |
| Autoclesis | thnx atlef | 12:11 |
| Autoclesis | sucks though | 12:11 |
| Autoclesis | oh well i will adapt | 12:11 |
| Gothfunc | Chepoll, not sure, ubuntu studio has pulseaudio by default | 12:11 |
| new_kid1 | Hi, there a way to identify tour PC's browser as a mobile browser (like Opera Mini) ??? | 12:11 |
| DirtyDawg | Itqan: it means stop using enter so much and typing on several lines, e.g. put all your text on one line if possible | 12:11 |
| atlef | Autoclesis, well, maybe unity will be better by then | 12:11 |
| andygraybeal | why are two executives leaving ubuntu at the sametime ?? | 12:11 |
| Autoclesis | yay atlef | 12:12 |
| andygraybeal | offtopic, nevermind | 12:12 |
| Chepoll | Gothfunc: well then, see the manual for pulseaudio and it should tell ou where it reads its configurations from | 12:12 |
| Itqan | DirtyDawg, ok ok i got it already 2 ppl told me | 12:12 |
| DirtyDawg | sry lol, was eating a sammich, missed that | 12:12 |
| new_kid1 | Hi, is there a way to identify tour PC's browser as a mobile browser (like Opera Mini) ??? | 12:12 |
| Itqan | so any soloutions anybody? | 12:12 |
| Autoclesis | adios amigos | 12:13 |
| Chepoll | new_kid1, how does a mini-browser differ from a normal browser? | 12:13 |
| atlef | new_kid1, in firefox you could try user agent switcher add-on | 12:13 |

| Chepoll | bluegoon: just google for the command to extract such archives. I forget all the time. Then once you extract it, it should have a README or some sort of a manual. That would explain | 12:15 |
| technikfreak | does anyone know the b43 driver problem on natty` | 12:15 |

| DirtyDawg | then your computer will turn off | 12:22 |
| josvuk | abrakazam: do you have a link to dia, google finds only unrelated things :-( | 12:22 |
| Oday | i have not experienced that, but it's not like update manager, it will probably not be able to continue where it left off Vamsi | 12:22 |

| revildab | I'm having issues installing the nvidia-96 driver package on 11.04. apt-get tells me "Depends: xorg-video-abi-8.0 but it is not installable". Apprently the xserver-xorg-core that comes with 11.04 includes xorg-video-abi-10, but nvidia-96 demands abi-8.0 and I'm wondering if I'll have to force a downgrade or if I can/should somehow roll back just xorg-video-abi to 8.0. | 12:25 |
| Vamsi | wget is the best download manager :P | 12:25 |

| Vamsi | guys..I checked for the upgrades..but looks like I have to upgrade to 10.10 first and then 11.04 ? | 12:26 |
| Vamsi | so is it not possible to directly upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 ? | 12:27 |
| rsthdn | Vamsi: nope | 12:28 |
| qjqqyy | vamsi: personally, i hated to upgrade, it always breaks the system, i recommend a reinstall | 12:28 |
| rsthdn | Vamsi: you have to upgrade to 10.10 | 12:28 |
| Oday | didnt break my system, i upgraded | 12:28 |
| josvuk | abrakazam: don't think that dia is good for me and qucs also don't fits my needs I use gnucap for simulation | 12:28 |
| Vamsi | it has been same for me..Always system brakes..but I think that if there are no errors when we do a dpkg..then all good | 12:29 |

| qjqqyy | dirtyDawg: remember to backup ur home folder and /etc and list of packages, things can go wrong easily | 12:30 |

| shijo | but the system crash after 10 or 15 minutes every time I log in | 12:43 |
| mang0 | or continue where I left off | 12:43 |
| abrakazam | mang0: if you install wine the prefered way, you should be able to install it typing "sudo apt-get install wine" | 12:43 |
| connor_ | it said conflicting commands | 12:43 |
| PeterNL | why would you delete them? Just do the installation again | 12:43 |

| shijo | becoz my com has 4 gb ram | 12:48 |

| mfpockers | bluegoon, im not familiar with that program, but I assume it isnt in the ubuntu repos, and you will need to add the repo that does. Or compile from source. | 12:50 |

| shijo | im not using unity, i tried classic desktop only | 13:00 |
| mang0 | then Arch is for pros lol | 13:00 |
| camilleqco | connor_: you can do a duel boot with existing OS | 13:00 |
| mang0 | get a LiveCD of 11.04 connor_ | 13:00 |
| rileyp | mffocker sounds like you have a problem in xorg.conf perhaps | 13:00 |

| lynxman | connor_: if you don't want a user friendly OS try OpenBSD, it's very secure | 13:00 |
| rileyp | mfpockers, try moving your existing xorg.conf and rebooting if you have an xorg.conf that is | 13:01 |
| mfpockers | rileyp, can you look at my xorg config and let me know if you see anything I should change? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10782032#post10782032 | 13:01 |
| connor_ | im going to try all of them then see which one i like | 13:01 |
| connor_ | ta ta | 13:01 |
| mfpockers | rileyp, if I remove it, I wont have an xorg.conf, sorry I dont follow your suggestion | 13:01 |
| * vieledwolf iiiii | 13:03 | |
| rileyp | mfpockers, ubuntu will run without one with default drivers and if you have nvidia like your link suggest its easyto creat another but first just move your existing and reboot and see what happens money on it wil start perfect | 13:03 |

| camilleqco | Sidewinder1: i need to do this blacklist step, methinks | 13:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | It's possible | 13:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | camilleqco, Usually when dealing with different drivers, it's best to completely remove the first before working with the second. | 13:12 |
| tuesmufns | nonsense | 13:12 |
| tuesmufns | you need only proper configuration | 13:12 |

| Secluded1 | is there a way, aside from reformatting, to downgrade from 10.10 to 10.04? | 13:34 |
| bazhang | Secluded1, have a separate home? | 13:34 |
| Alpha | You must reformat. It is the only way to downgrade. | 13:34 |
| ivan_ | how can put in performance mode my laptop , because i dont know use cpufreq applet in Natty :( | 13:34 |
| rookie_123 | no ideas on square diplaying when watching vides in browser? and Gnea....you may be right....but my own past experience whispers "Fresh Install, Fresh Install" | 13:34 |
| tuesmufns | what's wrong with .10? | 13:35 |
| Secluded1 | @bazhang, yes, home is on a separate partition | 13:35 |
| milen8204 | bazhang, http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/821/workspace1002o.png/ | 13:35 |
| bazhang | !who | tuesmufns | 13:35 |
| ubottu | tuesmufns: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 13:35 |
| bazhang | Secluded1, then install over the old and keep /home intact | 13:35 |
| milen8204 | bazhang, http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/821/workspace1002o.png/ it is my mix between Unity and classic desktop :D | 13:35 |
| Secluded1 | thanks | 13:35 |
| tuesmufns | bazhang: I cannot tab complete without a tab key or the ability to see nicks while typing, okay idiot? | 13:36 |
| bazhang | tuesmufns, lose the attitude | 13:36 |
| Utopiah | bazhang: thanks but even before looking for a driver support, it has to be physically visible on the USB bus anyway no? | 13:36 |
| rookie_123 | bazhang, if you have home on a separate partition and you install 11.04 in a separate partition (overwrite older ubuntu already there) anything specific to watch for? | 13:36 |
| tuesmufns | bazhang: grow a fucking brain | 13:37 |
| Ruge | LOL | 13:37 |
| rileyp | mfpockets move you old one back or sudo nvidia-xconfig to make a new one | 13:37 |
| kyubutsu | tuesmufns: inapropriate | 13:37 |
| n2i | Any way, thanks all for help! bye bye! :D | 13:38 |

| bazhang | milen8204, looks like you have some kind of dock on the right side | 13:44 |
| Alpha | It should do. What are you trying to achieve? | 13:44 |
| sagaci | Alpha: don't i have to chroot, etc | 13:44 |
| Alpha | chroot is not needed. | 13:45 |
| Alpha | Hopefully. | 13:45 |

| milen8204 | bazhang, in the folder was only medibuntu and that it contains | 13:52 |
| candrea | sagaci, also note: IIRC grub 2 is now the default in ubuntu | 13:52 |
| bazhang | milen8204, no idea how you got that odd mix; are you sure you chose classic from the login menu? | 13:53 |
| mang0 | bazhang: I don't have package manager or anything open | 13:53 |

| milen8204 | bazhang, I tried to configure tescktop cube and so on | 13:54 |
| mang0 | its very annoying, I need to have wine. | 13:54 |
| mang0 | :/ | 13:54 |
| candrea | sagaci, yes, that page seems clear and updated; if you need any help with it, just ask :) | 13:54 |
| eiriksvin | oh, thats sweet:) i didn't know about tork, is Tor getting bigger now? | 13:54 |
| milen8204 | bazhang, may that cause the problems ? | 13:54 |
| bazhang | mang0, you clearly have another instance running, or did not use sudo apt-get install wine (did not use sudo) | 13:54 |
| omega__ | is there an ubuntu help channel? | 13:54 |
| anass | can I download the driver package and its depencies and install it without internet! | 13:54 |
| damian | eiriksvin: you never put tor in the software centre app ? | 13:55 |
| sagaci | candrea: thanks, i've always just reinstalled but this system has fairly tweaked settings that I don't want to redo | 13:55 |
| mang0 | bazhang how do I kill it then? | 13:55 |
| bazhang | anass, what driver package | 13:55 |
| mang0 | i tried killall -w aptget | 13:55 |
| lj_ | transferring files from windows to ubuntu using network. I get "Invalid argument" anybody can help? | 13:55 |

| quick | <anass > download the source files and mail them | 13:55 |
| damian | lj_: using what scp or samba or other ? | 13:55 |
| mang0 | what if it is asking for like, a Y/N or something. it would never stop! | 13:55 |
| zteam | mang0: so what does it say if you try to run sudo apt-get install wine from a terminal then? | 13:55 |
| lj_ | samba | 13:56 |
| anass | bazhang: my friend in lybia hasn't internet except wireless, he has windows 7 and wireless working very good, but in ubuntu 10.10 he can't install wireless driver because no internet except wireless, how can I help him? | 13:56 |

| mang0 | zteam^ | 13:56 |
| lj_ | damian, am using samba | 13:56 |
| eiriksvin | damian doh! i didn't even think of that:) | 13:56 |
| candrea | sagaci, restoring grub in the mbr is a pretty trivial thing, so don't bother reinstalling the whole system ;) | 13:56 |
| damian | lj_: the source filename is legal etc? I tend to transfer from window to ubuntu using winscp just prefer it | 13:57 |
| MaRk-I | anass: you need to find out what wireless chipset is using and d/l the drivers for it, it would be easier if he can get connected by ethernet and just run updates | 13:57 |
| ivan_ | anybody know select performance mode in my laptop wih Natty :(? | 13:57 |
| zteam | mang0: you have the update-manager running? | 13:57 |
| damian | especially if its a one-off migration or backup | 13:57 |
| mang0 | bazhang: even in system moniter there is no apt process... | 13:57 |
| mang0 | zteam I have nothing running (that I know of) other then browser and system manager | 13:57 |
| eiriksvin | <omega__>yes, just drag one from the tast bar, strait out... after you have run the program:) | 13:57 |
| Gnea | anass: he should be able to download the .deb files to win7, then access them on the win7 partition when booted into ubuntu | 13:57 |
| anass | MaRk-I: I know, I red this article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#STA%20-%20No%20Internet%20access | 13:58 |
| lj_ | well, its a .001, .002 ...I split the zip files to get the file size smaller. the .001 - 3 tranferred but not .004 | 13:58 |
| Da|Mummy | how can i fix a ntfs filesystem on one of my internal drives? i homehow damaged it | 13:58 |
| zteam | mang0: system mananger? | 13:58 |
| zteam | you mean like Synaptic package manager? | 13:58 |
| anass | Gnea: OK, how? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#STA%20-%20No%20Internet%20access | 13:58 |
| mang0 | system>administration>system mangager | 13:58 |
| MaRk-I | anass: then read the article, it explains how to install the drivers without internet | 13:58 |
| mang0 | its like task manager | 13:58 |
| Gnea | anass: uhm, just like I said... | 13:58 |
| mang0 | I can see my processes...no, not the package mangager | 13:58 |
| mang0 | manager* | 13:58 |
| omega__ | ntfs fix can be a big problem | 13:59 |
| raven_ | EXIF script need a command to display exif time dates with parsable values for example only year, only month, only hour .... | 13:59 |
| anass | MaRk-I, Gnea: I red it, but it depends on Ubuntu Install media in another Computer, he has one laptop! | 13:59 |
| sagaci | candrea: but my ubuntu partition /dev/sda6 isn't showing up under fdisk -l | 13:59 |
| Gnea | anass: step 1) go to website in win7, step 2) download the .deb file(s), step 3) save them somewhere easy, like c:\downloads\, step 4) reboot to ubuntu, step 5) access the files, like /media/win7/downloads/, step 6) install them | 14:00 |
| milen8204 | bazhang, I fixed the things :D | 14:00 |
| bazhang | milen8204, how? | 14:00 |
| Sidewinder1 | Da|Mummy, Although I hate to suggest it, you may have to do the repair within Windoze. | 14:00 |
| Gnea | anass: no, it does not! it can be dual-booted | 14:00 |
| milen8204 | bazhang, just disable the cube | 14:00 |
| milen8204 | bazhang, :D | 14:00 |
| candrea | sagaci, are you running "sudo fdisk -l" or just "fdisk -l"? | 14:00 |
| Da|Mummy | thats a bad bad advice! | 14:00 |
| anass | Gnea: OK, how can I collect the depencies? | 14:00 |
| zteam | okey.... that's Really strange, but from the task manager select Monitor find open files | 14:00 |
| sagaci | candrea: sudo fdisk -l | 14:00 |
| bazhang | milen8204, okay, good news. perhaps try #compiz to get it going again | 14:00 |
| MaRk-I | anass: read again, it says from the CD | 14:01 |
| kyubutsu | Da|Mummy: channel ##windows might be more appropriate for your issue | 14:01 |
| Gnea | anass: well which file does he need, exactly? | 14:01 |
| Sidewinder1 | Da|Mummy, It's worth exactly what I charge for it. :-) | 14:01 |
| milen8204 | bazhang, ok thanks | 14:01 |
| candrea | sagaci, could you please paste the whole output on paste.ubuntu.com? | 14:01 |
| anass | Gnea: this file: http://eg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/ | 14:01 |
| zteam | mang0: okey.... that's Really strange, but from the task manager choose monitor -> search for open files | 14:01 |
| Da|Mummy | kyubutsu, i dont have win installed on here though | 14:02 |
| anass | Gnea: in this folder, there are .deb file for many archs! | 14:02 |
| mang0 | okay.....then what zteam? search for apt? done, no result | 14:02 |
| Da|Mummy | i know i can easily chdsk on windows, but problem is, i dont have windows on here anymore | 14:02 |
| Gnea | anass: only 2, actually. the trick is to getting the newest .deb file | 14:02 |
| anass | Gnea: I know, but how can I collect the depencies? | 14:03 |
| zteam | mang0: then type in /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 14:03 |
| mang0 | kk | 14:03 |
| kyubutsu | Da|Mummy: fixing ntfs is out of the scope of this channel | 14:03 |
| Sidewinder1 | +1 | 14:03 |
| anass | Gnea: I'll download this package: http://eg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/bcmwl-kernel-source_5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu3_i386.deb then ? | 14:03 |
| mang0 | zteam: 0 results | 14:03 |
| Gnea | Da|Mummy: the ntfsfix command should do it | 14:04 |
| zteam | mang0: that's really strange.... | 14:04 |
| Da|Mummy | theres a ntfsfix command? :| | 14:04 |
| zteam | mang0: try to reboot your computer | 14:04 |
| bazhang | Da|Mummy, that wont do it, really | 14:04 |
| Gnea | anass: as long as he doesn't have a 64bit installed, that should work... and it's a source package, so no dependencies other than to have a build environment setup | 14:04 |
| mang0 | zteam, I've found a couple of things on the net to fix it. If they don't work then i will reboot | 14:05 |
| bazhang | !aptfix | 14:05 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 14:05 |
| bazhang | mang0, ^ | 14:05 |
| mang0 | aha! | 14:05 |
| Gnea | anass: I just installed it and it didn't complain about dependencies | 14:05 |
| jihedamine | Hi, I have an Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09). When booting 11.04 I get a blank screen with very low brightness (happens with the new kernel versions) Is there any fix ? | 14:05 |
| miceiken | How do I remove a broken package installed with apt-get? | 14:05 |
| anass | Gnea: It has no depencies? | 14:06 |
| anass | Gnea: I'll tell him now | 14:06 |
| Gnea | anass: not directly | 14:06 |
| zzecool | there is a fix broken packages " thing in synaptics | 14:06 |
| Gnea | anass: but he will need to be able to type 'make' | 14:06 |
| zteam | miceiken: easily, just run sudo apt-get install -f | 14:06 |
| mang0 | bazhang you are a bloody genius | 14:06 |
| mang0 | thanks | 14:06 |
| mang0 | lol, that bot knows everything | 14:06 |
| anass | Gnea: so he must install "build-essintials"! | 14:06 |
| mang0 | zteam, thanks for your help :) | 14:06 |
| Gnea | anass: correct! | 14:06 |
| miceiken | huh zteam? I want to remove it | 14:07 |
| Gnea | anass: it's actually 'build-essential', there is no 's' at the end | 14:07 |
| bazhang | miceiken, need to repair it first | 14:07 |
| zzecool | miceiken, first install it properly and the remove it | 14:07 |
| DirtyDawg | i have to say, i think Unity is awful and a bad move | 14:07 |
| zteam | miceiken: Well you could just run sudo apt-get remove -f, too i gues | 14:07 |

| anass | Gnea: OK, I'll tell him, thank you for your help, and for your patience :) | 14:12 |
| miceiken | zteam: well for now, I can't because it's stuck on installing. and last time I cancelled it, the package was corrupted, hence why I need to uninstall it now :) | 14:12 |
| Gnea | anass: could try this: find . -name "*.deb" -exec sudo dpkg -i {} \; | 14:12 |
| Gnea | anass: he might have to run that a few times | 14:12 |

| root__ | ubantu | 15:28 |
| reisio | Cube``: actually you can build ekiga without gnome deps, AIUI, but you'd have to compile it, probably | 15:28 |
| bazhang | thugzclub, the kernel line is in text only mode | 15:28 |
| Cube`` | reisio: ok! | 15:28 |
| coz_ | webben, which menu? | 15:28 |
| webben | coz_: The main menu that appears across the top of the screen or window. | 15:29 |

| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 15:29 |
| webben | coz_: File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks etc. | 15:29 |
| coz_ | webben, ah its not there but there is a "wrench" icon to the right of the url field,,, not sure there is a File Edit menu on chromium | 15:30 |
| webben | coz_: It's there on OS X. | 15:30 |
| coz_ | webben, oh? mm let me check hold on | 15:30 |
| eiriksvin | where can i find a command list for application launchers like: Desktop Recorders launcher command says gtk-recordMyDesktop | 15:30 |
| coz_ | webben, ok do you see that wernch icon?? | 15:30 |
| reisio | eiriksvin: dpkg -L gtk-recordMyDesktop | grep bin | 15:31 |
| webben | coz_: Yeah I've got the wrench icon on OS X as well. | 15:31 |
| reisio | webben: Mac OS is another OS, you realize... | 15:31 |
| coz_ | webben, rather right click the upper bar that is on chrome and tick "Use system title bar and borders" | 15:31 |
| coz_ | webben, nope that doesnt do it either | 15:32 |
| root__ | sidewinderl, some days after installation my ubuntu stop to work any solution | 15:32 |

| reisio | webben: very observant :D | 15:32 |

| KM0201 | eiriksvin: a desktop launcher, can only launch one program at a time... | 15:33 |
| reisio | michal__: hi | 15:33 |
| coz_ | webben, as far as I know the developers have consistently stripped chrome down,, my bet is apple put those menus back on | 15:34 |
| eiriksvin | i know, but how do i learn the command for running any given application? | 15:34 |
| Sidewinder1 | root__, You could always do a fresh install; I prefer the LTS versions; current is Lucid Lynx 10.04; that's what I'm using | 15:34 |
| Glycan | Which version of U do I want for UNetbootin? .._Live ..HDmedia, etc. | 15:34 |
| Glycan | Er, .._HdMedia | 15:34 |
| KM0201 | eiriksvin: oh i see what you're saying... sometimes you can look at system monitor, and find the process in there, and then try to start the program w/ whatever name is there. | 15:34 |
| giannis__ | print(etree.tostring(xhtml, pretty_print=True)) | 15:35 |
| coz_ | webben, http://dev.chromium.org/user-experience/toolbar | 15:35 |
| KM0201 | eiriksvin: whats the name fo the program? | 15:35 |
| coz_ | webben, "page menu" on that link | 15:35 |
| reisio | eiriksvin: dpkg -L packagename | grep bin | 15:35 |
| reisio | eiriksvin: ls /usr/bin/* | 15:35 |
| mathews | Glycan: run the live cs and run start up disk creator.That is better idea | 15:35 |
| root__ | sidewinderl, i think its waste of time why i cant use one time installation | 15:35 |
| reisio | apropos, whatis | 15:36 |
| mathews | Glycan: run the live cd | 15:36 |
| KM0201 | eiriksvin: if the program ahs a menu entry, you can also go to it int he menu and choose "add to desktop" and it will copy a launcher to the desktop | 15:36 |
| eiriksvin | KM0201:) | 15:36 |

| syanide | coz_: I'm baffled as to why it's like that. I have all the fonts, I've played with a number of distros over the past year. | 15:46 |
| paradoxaz | Much love. | 15:46 |

| enovativ | thanks adminewb1 | 15:48 |
| enovativ | thanks bazhang | 15:48 |
| syanide | coz_ Thanks. I don't mind the font looking as bad as it looks, but it even breaks layouts on a few websites because it's so bold. | 15:48 |
| mathews | eiriksvin; Ctrl+Alt+T | 15:48 |
| eiriksvin | yeah, thats what i use | 15:48 |
| asdfgftft | hi | 15:48 |
| eiriksvin | i'm gonna show the steps smooth | 15:48 |
| adminewb1 | enovativ sure; Alt-F2 also works but that's a full screen character mode display rather than a virtual terminal in a desktop window | 15:48 |
| asdfgftft | quesztion | 15:49 |
| coz_ | syanide, in the meantime check under system/preferences/appearnce/fonts see if anything is set wierd there | 15:49 |
| asdfgftft | question | 15:49 |
| bazhang | asdfgftft, go ahead | 15:49 |
| asdfgftft | ok | 15:49 |
| asdfgftft | do you use gnome | 15:49 |
| syanide | coz_ I've double checked everything. Websites using, say, Ubuntu font look okay. It messes up Arial when it's bolded, looks horrific, and this one is completely screwed. google reader for instance as well. | 15:49 |
| reisio | nope | 15:49 |

| BrooksW | Does anyone know if it's possible to run a microsoft sql server on linux natively? (Without Wine or a VM) | 16:03 |
| reisio | ruge: well, with a Windows box typically the driver is preinstalled, so comparing it to Linux at all is unfair | 16:03 |
| enovativ | ruge, i agree with that..but i have a strong desire to learn all about ubuntu....because i HATE windows .....i have to support it at my job, and I absolutely HATE IT !! | 16:03 |
| iostream | BrooksW: no, and don't. it's stupid | 16:03 |
| adminewb1 | coz_ wouldn't know which place to zero out, I'm using grub2 to boot a loopback ISO image on a ext4 volume | 16:03 |
| stefg | BrooksW: certainly not | 16:03 |
| reisio | ruge: and on top of that, not all distros make you jump through as many hoops as Debian-based ones | 16:03 |
| reisio | ruge: but that's a good thing, it ensures Debian will endure without being hassled by legal institutions | 16:03 |
| coz_ | adminewb1, this one I have not heard of before,, its very puzzling,, in my situation,, I would check both hardware and drives... but i also use separate drives for each OS instead of partitions.. so wiping is not issue here ... I would suggest going to the ##linux channel, see if they have any suggestions... and let me know if it gets solved,, this is a curious situation | 16:04 |
| enovativ | i wonder if i roll back to 10.10 and see what happens | 16:04 |
| ruge | reisio: oh i c.. | 16:04 |
| adminewb1 | stefg, yes my 32bit installations work fine, and I can boot any livecd image as long as it's 32 bit | 16:04 |
| BrooksW | iostream, stefg: I've got a platform that only communicates with mssql, so i was crossing my fingers, oh well. thanks guys. | 16:04 |
| enovativ | because i installed 10.10.....and after the updates i saw this upgrade windows, and decided..what the heck... | 16:04 |
| ntr0py | has someone tried the emgd intel gfx driver from gma500 team at launchpad? | 16:04 |
| iostream | BrooksW: don't ever use mssql. | 16:04 |
| ruge | how do i use the additional drivers tool to add new drivers? | 16:04 |
| reisio | ruge: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto/ATI didn't explain? | 16:05 |
| BrooksW | iostream: Agreed, although unfortunately it is sometimes necessary if the application only allows for its use. | 16:05 |
| stefg | adminewb1: cat /proc/cpuinfo would be interesting .... (use pastebin, plz) | 16:05 |
| robin0800 | ruge, if they are not showing you can't | 16:05 |
| ruge | reisio: it sounds like its missing a step. ive verified my card is suitable.. the it says "In Ubuntu 10.10, this is found under System->Administration->Additional Drivers. After the fglrx driver is installed..." | 16:05 |
| iostream | BrooksW: if that is the case, the application sucks and thou should find another one, or preferrably build your own | 16:05 |

| enovativ | reisio, my only reason is that for some reason my on NIC in this old Dell workstation si not working..... | 16:08 |
| robin0800 | rage, ubuntu support for older ati cards was stopped after 8.04 ie they only support the open source driver | 16:08 |
| stefg | BrooksW: lucid = stable long term support (sfw:-) , natty =experimental standard relase (still rough at the time) | 16:08 |
| reisio | enovativ: that isn't a good reason | 16:08 |
| raidghost | Wonder if its possible to get music playing in my speakers also. not only the woofer | 16:08 |
| invisime | IdleOne: how does one boot to classic? | 16:08 |
| reisio | enovativ: at most you would have to install a different kernel version | 16:08 |
| IdleOne | !classic | 16:08 |
| enovativ | reisio, can you offer any suggestions on how i can get this to work...google doesn't show me anything | 16:08 |

| SystemParadox | afternoon all. I've just got myself a Thinkpad X41 tablet, which has no CD or floppy drive. I've taken the HDD out and plugged it into my Ubuntu desktop system. Are there any nice scripts/tutorials for how to install ubuntu on the external disk for use by the tablet? All the tutorials I've seen so far require rebooting the desktop, which I don't want to do. | 16:10 |
| enovativ | reisio, that reported back the following : e1000e 138627 0 | 16:11 |

| reisio | SystemParadox: you just need to make sure essential drivers are included/auto-loaded | 16:11 |

| Skaperen | cheater15: ah, never seen the term "cursor" used for mouse ... only "pointer" ... by anyway, now I know what you mean ... so when you lose the pointer, and then do Ctrl+Alt+F1, what do you see? | 16:34 |

| damian_-_ | is xserver-xorg-video-radeon the driver for radeon 350m. i tried fglrx with no luck. basically youtube 480p wont play smoothly but my understanding i the graphics "should" support that. do i need firmware files? | 16:34 |
| stefg | google-fu! | 16:34 |
| JoeCoolDesk | stefg, I mean in the CLI. | 16:35 |
| JoeCoolDesk | The networking applet is automatic for everything | 16:35 |
| cheater15 | Skaperen, i guess "pointer" is indeed much better! when i press ctrl-alt-f1, the display freezes (stops updating). I am then apparently in the TTY, because i can change the numlock status and it will be remembered between different tty's (each TTY will have a separate numlock status). However, it does not display. when i later switch back to the desktop using ctrl-alt-f7, the desktop redraws and i can continue working in the deskto | 16:35 |
| cheater15 | p. | 16:35 |
| JoeCoolDesk | But in the recovery panel I can't download updates for dpkg without a network connection, stefg | 16:35 |
| Skaperen | cheater15: so when you say "it does not display" you are referring to the text console in F1, or the X desktop in F7 ? | 16:36 |
| cheater15 | Skaperen, the text console in F1 does not display. | 16:37 |
| Skaperen | cheater15: is it completely blank/black ? or just doesn't change? | 16:37 |
| cheater15 | it doesn't change, keeps on displaying what was on F7 last | 16:37 |
| ruge | hm i posted on ubuntuforums, hoepfully someone can help me there. this driver issue is making me go crazy lol, u guys have a good night :) | 16:38 |
| Skaperen | cheater15: so the video doesn't actually get out of graphical mode | 16:38 |
| theviper | hi all | 16:38 |
| ect5_ | hello | 16:38 |
| cheater15 | Skaperen, well, i wouldn't say so - the display is frozen | 16:38 |
| stefg | JoeCoolDesk: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man1/nmcli.1.html | 16:38 |
| Ziber | Is there anything I can do to fix bad disk sectors, 10.10? | 16:38 |
| MC8 | Howdy, what's the package for the java runtime environment? | 16:38 |
| cheater15 | Skaperen, maybe the frame buffer or whatever just doesn't get any new data, whereas old data stops comming in | 16:38 |
| theviper | sun java | 16:38 |
| hypetech | MC8: openjdk-6-jre I'm pretty sure | 16:39 |
| Skaperen | cheater15: sounds like X itself is frozen ... because it is X itself that has to switch the video card out of graphical mode into text mode for the Ctrl+Alt+F1 switch to be done all the way | 16:39 |
| theviper | sdk sun java devolepment | 16:39 |
| cheater15 | Skaperen, how would i find out if it is? | 16:39 |
| christo_m | Hi | 16:39 |
| Skaperen | cheater15: well lets continue exploring what you said ... you said later it goes back to working? | 16:39 |
| christo_m | any reason why when i plug my usb stick in, it pops up a million times that its detected? | 16:39 |
| christo_m | and opens windows of it ad infinitum | 16:39 |
| stefg | Ziber: yeah.... backup your files and either replace the disk or do a low level format with sector remapping with the suitable vendor tool. There is ways to mark sectors as bad inan existing filesystem but i'd not recommend that | 16:40 |
| christo_m | im thinking its mounting it as a cd with -o loop | 16:40 |

| TurkuSama | im such a noob, i hit ctrl+alt+f1 and I couldn't get back. had to reboot... | 16:40 |
| theophanie | Since I made changes in synaptic to add some video authoring soft yesterday, I cannot start my Ubuntu | 16:40 |
| freax--- | bazhang, the "appearance" applet (gnome-appearance-properties) is included in the package "utilities to configure the GNOME desktop" (gnome-control-center) if u read the discription about this package in ubuntu software center or in synaptic package manager, it says: "This package contains configuration applets for the GNOME desktop, allowing to set accessibility configuration, desktop fonts, keyboard and mouse properties, sound setup, desktop theme and | 16:40 |
| freax--- | background, user interface properties, screen resolution, and other GNOME parameters." & "It also contains a front end to these applets, which can also be accessed with the GNOME panel or the Nautilus file manager." | 16:40 |
| FloodBot1 | freax---: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:40 |
| cheater15 | Skaperen, i said that if i switch to f1, and then to f7, then the display isn't frozen anymore. but i can switch to f1 and f7 any number of times, f1 will be displaying a frozen f7, whereas f7 works. all the time, the mouse pointer does not display. | 16:40 |
| coz_ | theophanie, at that point log in then sudo restart gdm | 16:40 |
| Skaperen | TurkuSama: Ctrl+Alt+F7 or 8 or 9 to get back (try them until you get there) | 16:41 |
| cheater15 | Skaperen, i guess that's what you meant. the problem does however not go away. | 16:41 |
| TurkuSama | thanks cheater | 16:41 |
| coz_ | theophanie, sorry wrong nick | 16:41 |
| coz_ | TurkuSama, at that point just log in and then sudo restart gdm | 16:41 |
| cheater15 | TurkuSama, that was Skaperen who helped you :) | 16:41 |
| Skaperen | cheater15: so switching to f1 then back to f7 things "work" except for the mouse pointer which never comes back no matter how much you try | 16:41 |
| TurkuSama | ah, gotcha | 16:41 |
| TurkuSama | thanks | 16:42 |
| stefg | Ziber: and make sure (by smartmontools or palimpsest http://www.linux.com/community/blogs/new-hard-drive-utility-in-ubuntu-910-palimpsest.html that the disk is not about to die soon | 16:42 |
| cheater15 | Skaperen, exactly | 16:42 |
| BrooksW | has anyone here built QT from source on Ubuntu? | 16:42 |
| coz_ | BrooksW, I have not | 16:42 |
| cheater15 | Skaperen, going to f1 and back to f7 makes things work the same as before i switched to f1, simply put | 16:42 |
| Skaperen | cheater15: so ... BEFORE the mouse pointer disappears, does switching to F1 work then (you might have to go try it to see) | 16:42 |
| BrooksW | coz_: Thanks | 16:42 |
| user01 | hey i am having an issue installing jgnuplot the instructions say to just run ant but i get the error message build.xml does not exist | 16:42 |
| cheater15 | Skaperen, i believe so. i have no way of checking right now, but i remember working in the tty's a while back. | 16:43 |
| cheater15 | right now i have no mouse pointer. | 16:43 |
| === chris is now known as Guest16162 | ||
| BrooksW | Can anyone comment on the differences between server and desktop other than the missing GUI? We have a server application that requires X, so we're debating whether to install Desktop or Server on that box. | 16:43 |
| Skaperen | cheater15: what happens if you log out then log back in while in this situation? | 16:43 |
| jrib | BrooksW: server kernel vs generic kernel | 16:43 |
| BrooksW | jrib: Are the performance implications of the server kernel that impressive? | 16:44 |
| parapara | stefg: apt-get remove xubuntu-gdm-theme did it! | 16:44 |
| parapara | it turns out xubuntu uses the gdm but with different artwork | 16:44 |
| cheater15 | Skaperen, given that the tty's are inaccessible, i wouldn't suppose that would help - since tty's are a system underlying to X | 16:44 |
| jrib | BrooksW: I do not know, check the differences in the packages (and you can just install the -server kernel on desktop or X on the server install anyway) | 16:44 |
| cheater15 | i hadn't tried though, but would be reluctant to try because i've got work running (data recovery) | 16:45 |
| Skaperen | cheater15: maybe, maybe not ... logging out and logging back in resets X so it might also reset the mouse driver | 16:45 |
| BrooksW | jrib: This is true. Thanks. | 16:45 |
| cheater15 | oh does it? | 16:45 |
| cheater15 | hmm.. | 16:45 |
| cheater15 | will my instances of screen still be accessible? | 16:45 |
| BrooksW | Anyone here program on AMX? | 16:45 |
| Gabriel01 | anyone know why image viewer in lubuntu won't go to the next image? | 16:45 |
| cheater15 | or will they get killed when i log out? | 16:45 |
| Skaperen | cheater15: if you started a background shell under the screen program, that background instance should still be reconnectable via screen | 16:46 |
| cheater15 | Skaperen, ok, so logging out user "ubuntu" from gnome will not actually kill all of the processes of the user? | 16:46 |
| stefg | BrooksW: it's mainly a different choice of default applications.... you could turn one into the other by installing/uninstalling packages. If you know your way aroound with apt on the cli i'd recoomend using a server install and adding xorg later.... less bloat, and options to set up lvm/raid | 16:46 |
| Skaperen | cheater15: but your network may go away in the interim ... so if you are IRC-ing in screen (I do that) it can get disconnect and you have to reconnect | 16:47 |
| cheater15 | yeah | 16:47 |
| Skaperen | cheater15: logging out from desktop should only kill processes technically inherited from X ... screen's background is intetionally not that | 16:47 |
| cheater15 | i'm actually ircing in xchat, so i'll disconnect anyways | 16:47 |
| cheater15 | alright | 16:47 |
| BrooksW | stefg: very helpful. I'm comfortable with apt, so perhaps we'll go with that. we are currently using a FreeBSD server as a router (mostly port forwarding), could you direct me to some info on how to do this with Ubuntu? | 16:48 |
| cheater15 | let me try that after backing up vital data | 16:48 |
| Skaperen | back up your vital data | 16:48 |
| damian_-__ | do i need firmware to go with xserver-xorg-video-radeon | 16:48 |
| Da|Mummy | when i minimize a window thats say, of a mounted drive, where does that window minimize to and how do i bring it back up again, this whole unity thing is just not my thing | 16:48 |
| stefg | !firestarter | BrooksW | 16:48 |
| ubottu | BrooksW: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 16:48 |
| robin0800 | damian_-__, not usually | 16:49 |

| desu | BrooksW, you could try snmp | 16:54 |
| andygraybeal | i <3 clonezilla :) | 16:54 |
| robin0800 | w00tw00t, you need sudo blkid | 16:55 |
| stefg | brett__: set up a virtual machine.... in virtualbox i got unity working.... | 16:55 |
| BrooksW | desu: Ah, very true. Do you know what information an Ubuntu box can provide over SNMP? | 16:55 |
| * brett__ searches for clonezilla | 16:55 | |
| desu | BrooksW, However, I'd recommend replacing telnet with SSH | 16:55 |
| TurkuSama | you can start up 11.04 in "classic mode" | 16:55 |
| slakcphil | Trillian: yeah it can get messy... I know ceni is curses but have not ran it in ubuntu, | 16:55 |
| desu | BrooksW, I have no idea :P One of my friends once did stuff with SNMP. That is all I know. | 16:55 |
| BrooksW | desu: I agree, the trouble is that the AMX controller can only talk raw IP, not SSH. | 16:55 |
| brett__ | stefg, a virtual machine would work, yeah, but i don't know exactly how it'll run on my hardware with a virtual machine, right? | 16:56 |
| desu | BrooksW, Oh.. That is kind of not-so-secure | 16:56 |
| BrooksW | desu: We have it locked down to only allow connections from that controller, so I think we're alright. | 16:56 |
| robin0800 | damian_-__, try metacity --replace | 16:56 |

| Omega | ejay: Do you have another way of getting on the internet, so we can guide you through the booting? | 17:17 |
| Skaperen | testcompile: it would be cool for doing limited use of computer ... surf, play music, etc ... I do more than that, so I needed something different | 17:17 |
| Skaperen | testcompile: so I have plain ubuntu on my eeepc | 17:18 |
| testcompile | gotcha this machine only has 500megs of RAM so I thought it might be kewl | 17:18 |

| robin0800 | f3rland, xchat | 17:20 |
| sevoxx | X-chat has TCL scripting support. | 17:20 |
| edbian | pyQ: 10.4 will have less bugs | 17:20 |
| Skaperen | if you don't like 11.04 try 10.04.2 | 17:20 |
| edbian | pyQ: 10.04* sorry | 17:20 |
| pyQ | I need a stable one, probably not willing reinstall diso in 2 yrs | 17:20 |
| === trolling is now known as trolling|a | ||

| luoluoluo | me | 17:21 |
| mang0 | have you installed any themes? | 17:21 |
| robin0800 | mand0, yes | 17:21 |
| edbian | testcompile: 11.04 is much different than other Ubuntu releases. Is it better? That's opinionb | 17:22 |
| fatal_ERROR777 | jeremymcs, this is odd, but I am sure there is a simple solution for it, but firstly, turn on the network button, which you probably have turned off. | 17:22 |
| luoluoluo | mand0,no | 17:22 |
| Chazzd | I installed a Ruby Gem on my ubuntu which messed up the whole system and i need to get my files? what do i do? | 17:22 |
| mang0 | I hate the defult look to xchat, and I want to install themes like I had with windows | 17:22 |
| pyQ | ok... is 10.04 support newest hardware, I intend to install it one brand-new notebook : hp-pavilion-dv6-3362sf | 17:22 |

| livingdaylight | hi | 17:22 |
| livingdaylight | I actually came in to ask about video rendering. Downloaded a couple movies and they play fine off other laptops, with 11.04 on this desktop the colors are all weird?? black is pink and stuff like that. | 17:22 |
| livingdaylight | when I play the movie in the examples folder it is fine, just the stuff I've downloaded. | 17:22 |
| pyQ | <- this notebook just released last month, but 10.04 has released 1-1.5 yrs ago | 17:22 |
| livingdaylight | at first thought I downloaded something corrupted, but then I tested something else out which I know played perfectly when I transferred it to a laptop, but also plays wonky on thid Desktop. | 17:23 |
| testcompile | yeah this machine has an NVIDIA 7300 LE and there is a driver prob | 17:23 |
| Chazzd | Please help? | 17:23 |
| testcompile | I installed the gpl 3d drivers and it helped a little | 17:23 |
| livingdaylight | kann mir das jemand erklaeren? | 17:24 |

| === evil is now known as Guest63847 | ||
| pyQ | also should I try 64 bit 10.04?? | 17:25 |
| coco | so what's the verdict on unity? | 17:25 |
| w00tw00t | anyone using Deskbar on Natty? Though the package is installed, I can't find it from the Panels list! It was there in Lucid. | 17:25 |
| jeremymcs | coco, its hideous | 17:26 |
| Chazzd | is it possible to restore things from a ceratin amount oft time? | 17:26 |
| jeremymcs | Chazzd, sure if your taking backups | 17:26 |
| robin0800 | coco 8/10 | 17:26 |
| edbian | pyQ so you have 64 bit hardware and > 3.2Gb of ram? | 17:26 |
| TurkuSama | dont like unity, login in classic mode | 17:26 |
| coco | jeremymcs: oh oh you dont like it | 17:26 |
| testcompile | if anyone wants the URL to the Linus Torvalds interview I can post it to channel if that is ok recent interview | 17:26 |
| edbian | pyQ: do* | 17:26 |
| edbian | pyQ: Didn't mean to sound rude :) | 17:26 |
| coco | I can't try unity its why i ask...vbox dont let me use it | 17:26 |
| pyQ | yes | 17:26 |
| jeremymcs | coco, i think only a handfull of people so far ive found like it | 17:26 |
| pyQ | hp-pavilion-dv6-3362sf | 17:27 |
| Chazzd | jeremymcs: well i tryed to install a library and i exited by mistake, messing up my pc | 17:27 |
| robin0800 | coco unity 2d is great | 17:27 |
| SystemParadox | ok wth, zsync just aborts randomly with no errors. | 17:27 |
| edbian | pyQ: then try 64 bit! The point of it is that you can use more than 3.2 Gb of ram :) | 17:27 |
| jeremymcs | Chazzd, what library ? | 17:27 |
| coco | jeremymcs: I saw a review on 11.04...the guy called it the best ubuntu ever | 17:27 |
| Chazzd | Umm one sec | 17:27 |
| pyQ | :( I just need it super solid | 17:28 |
| pyQ | http://www.laptopspirit.fr/89528/hp-pavilion-dv6-3362sf-156-pouces-radeon-hd6550m-1-to-core-i5-a-699-euros.html | 17:28 |
| jeremymcs | coco, yeah, every new version of something is "the best" | 17:28 |
| pyQ | this hardware | 17:28 |
| fatal_ERROR777 | jeremymcs, Do you have a wired or a wireless network? | 17:28 |
| Chazzd | sudo apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2-dev jeremymcs | 17:28 |
| jeremymcs | wired | 17:28 |
| pyQ | not sure if 10.04 will support it | 17:28 |
| jeremymcs | Chazzd, that wouldnt break your system | 17:28 |
| coco | jeremymcs: what's your issue with it...speed? | 17:28 |
| coco | too many bugs?? | 17:28 |
| jeremymcs | Chazzd, whats it doing ? | 17:28 |
| hypetech | pyQ: unless you have a specific reason that you need to use more than 3.2 gig of RAM or specifically need to use the 64 bit version of an application, you might as well go with 32-bit imo | 17:28 |
| jeremymcs | coco, unity is 15 clicks to many | 17:28 |
| Chazzd | Wel las soon as i try to get onto ubuntu | 17:28 |
| Chazzd | the mouse and keyboard dont work | 17:29 |
| hypetech | jeremymcs: I don't click at all with unity o.0 | 17:29 |
| coco | jeremymcs: I see....thats annoying | 17:29 |
| jeremymcs | Chazzd, ctrl+alt+f1; login | 17:29 |
| edbian | hypetech: pyQ: He just listed a laptop that has 4 Gb of ram | 17:29 |
| === mang0_ is now known as mang0 | ||
| hypetech | edbian: that doesn't mean he's going to be using it all | 17:29 |
| jeremymcs | Chazzd, try to apt-get update; apt-get upgrade | 17:29 |
| Chazzd | and for some reason i cant downlaod anything to my temp folder in windows | 17:29 |
| Chazzd | ok | 17:29 |
| Chazzd | the thing is my keyboard doesnt work unless im in recovery | 17:30 |
| robin0800 | jeremydei, if you set it up right it is not too bad and nothing is more than 3 clicks away | 17:30 |
| ashmew2 | Hi , How can i copy all the contents of my / partition and make the new one the / partition ? | 17:30 |
| jeremymcs | Chazzd, virtual ? | 17:30 |
| jeremymcs | ashmew2, dd | 17:30 |
| Chazzd | Dual boot | 17:30 |
| pyQ | hypetech: I dont need to use the 64 bit version , neither need to use more than 3.2 gig , what I need is a stable ubuntu version, that I can work on | 17:30 |
| edbian | hypetech: ? why else would you buy it? | 17:30 |
| jeremymcs | Chazzd, if you boot into ubuntu, unplug your mouse/keys .. give it 10 seconds then plug it in | 17:31 |
| jeremymcs | ctrl+alt+f1 should work though | 17:31 |
| coco | pyQ: i'm still on lucid ;) | 17:31 |
| jeremymcs | Chazzd, assuming their usb | 17:31 |
| Chazzd | Yea | 17:31 |
| Chazzd | but its wierd since it didnt do that before | 17:31 |
| ashmew2 | jeremymcs : thanks :) | 17:32 |
| leekrims | Why does SNES9x suck so badly on Ubuntu? BSNES (Which isn't hacked together emulation like SNES9x, focuses on being accurate) runs better than it, even. They've also ripped out the cheat finder. Was that really necessary? | 17:32 |
| fatal_ERROR777 | jeremymcs, oh sorry, I have to go | 17:32 |
| coco | I would recommend lucid for a stable ubuntu..you still get updates till 2013 | 17:32 |
| pyQ | 32 bit vs 64 bit , what makes them different? | 17:33 |
| testcompile | has anyone had difficulty with numeric print to screen in terminal I fixed it on the command side but character print/gen still unavailbale | 17:33 |
| jeremymcs | pyQ, 32 | 17:33 |
| pyQ | sans bit diff | 17:33 |
| Chazzd | jeremymcs , i think it deleted files and was going to replace them, but i closed it by accident before it fixed | 17:33 |
| testcompile | running 10.4 | 17:33 |
| edbian | pyQ: 64 bit allows for the use of more than 3.2Gb of ram and it is more efficient. Some people think it is less stable but that is increasingly not true everyday | 17:33 |
| Chazzd | if i upgrade to natty narwhal, do you think it would restore the default files like gedit and such | 17:34 |
| jeremymcs | Chazzd, development files for SDL1.2 mixer library .. would not break your system | 17:34 |
| pyQ | 32 / 64 vote: 2:1 | 17:34 |
| pyQ | ok I see edbian, I will go for 32 then | 17:34 |
| ashmew2 | jeremymcs: it will copy the boot flags etc as well ? | 17:34 |
| pyQ | thanks all... | 17:34 |
| edbian | pyQ: sure | 17:34 |
| coco | Chazzd: about a clean install? | 17:34 |
| pyQ | for your kind sugguestions.. | 17:34 |
| jeremymcs | ashmew2, if you tell it to | 17:34 |
| ashmew2 | k thx | 17:34 |

| SystemParadox | WOA. Does anybody know why running md5sum on a file might result in a different sum each time?!! | 17:36 |
| ashmew2 | jeremymcs: kk | 17:36 |
| josher | is the file changing, systemparadox? | 17:36 |
| hypetech | SystemParadox: is the file being changed? | 17:36 |
| Chazzd | jeremymcs coco the thing is, it was deleting and replacing files when it got closed | 17:36 |
| josher | someone writing to it? | 17:36 |
| jeremymcs | Chazzd, then just re-install it | 17:36 |
| Chazzd | Ubuntu? | 17:36 |
| mang0 | any of you guys using xchat themes? | 17:36 |
| DrPenguin | hi guys. I am looking to setup ubuntu on a new laptop I just got. I want to use Logical partitions because it alread has 3 primarys. Do I just make a 4th primary and 2 logicals go in that? | 17:37 |
| SystemParadox | yeah that's what I thought was the only possible way, but as far as I can work out, there isn't | 17:37 |
| Chazzd | jeremymcs wont that get rid of the files in my ubuntu partition | 17:37 |
| gsp2009 | hey everyone. What would cause a mouse pointer to flash intermittently. Seems to coincide with when the hard drive reads/writes. | 17:37 |
| jeremymcs | Chazzd, reinstall the package that failed, not the system | 17:37 |
| SystemParadox | I just copied the file somewhere else and it's *still* totally random | 17:37 |
| Chazzd | already tryed | 17:38 |
| krambal | hey does anyone have any idea how i can get my blu ray drive to work | 17:38 |
| hypetech | SystemParadox: what kind of file is it | 17:38 |
| SudoKing | occasionally my sound stops working until I reboot my computer, characterized by skipping sound in all apps... alsa force-reload doesn't help, and dmesg shows no errors with the sound device | 17:38 |
| hypetech | SystemParadox: also what are you using to check the md5 | 17:38 |
| Chazzd | it prompted me to enter a command to 'fix' something then i put it in, and it doesnt fix anything | 17:38 |
| jeremymcs | Chazzd, your pretty vague | 17:39 |
| jeremymcs | post some output or logs | 17:39 |
| jeremymcs | 'he said to drive over to that street and park at that house' know where i am? | 17:39 |
| Skaperen | damn ... I really do need to write something better than dd | 17:40 |
| Chazzd | When i entered the Mixer library, it said it couldnt do it (recovery mode) and asked me to enter another command, which i cant remember.I then tryed the mixer install again, which didnt help at all | 17:41 |
| SystemParadox | hypetech, it's an ISO file, it does the same with other files, sha1sum is doing the same as well | 17:41 |
| SystemParadox | something tells me I should be running memtest86 | 17:42 |
| Chazzd | Is it possible to upgrade to natty in the prompt? | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | krambal: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/01/bluray-playback-on-ubuntu/ | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Chazzd: sure, use the server method | 17:42 |
| Chazzd | that way i would keep my files and be able to use linux again | 17:42 |

| lindsaymobil22 | Hey guys | 17:42 |

| TurkuSama | why wouldn't you? | 17:48 |
| jeremymcs | it will only upgrade your current system, not add packages | 17:48 |

| Cleaver | jeremymcs: I've never expirienced it, but then again I only run skype when I play more or less | 17:50 |
| jeremymcs | Cleaver, so theirs your fix. dont run them together :) | 17:50 |
| Cleaver | I suspect it being some conflict between some drives, since its wow running through wine | 17:50 |
| jeremymcs | yup | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | coco: works fine here | 17:50 |
| coco | Cleaver: so it works fine on linux...skype that is | 17:50 |

I'm basically working on a shell script that screencaptures a specific part of screen(selected with mouse) and uploads to imgur/places link in clipboard. My problem is the script works prefect from command line, but fails when set as a shortcut in gnome(ctrl-prtscrn) | 17:53 |
| krambal | does anyone have an alternative to makemkv because they do not support linux anymore i do believe | 17:53 |
| Chazzd | coz_ thanks a bunch :) | 17:53 |
| reisio | krambal: for doing what? | 17:53 |
| krambal | playing blu ray | 17:53 |
| Cleaver | jeremymcs: thats my problem, I dont know how to fix it. I've tried rebooting, but it came back instantly. But sometimes (most times) its running just fine | 17:53 |
| jeremymcs | ddilinger, sounds like a different env | 17:53 |
| Cleaver | I dont know what creates the conflict tbh | 17:53 |
| Cleaver | Nor do I know the fix | 17:53 |
| reisio | krambal: mplayer and vlc should both be able to play Blu-ray | 17:53 |
| jeremymcs | Cleaver, could be heat | 17:54 |
| bindi | could be pulseaudio being an ass | 17:54 |
| Cleaver | haet? | 17:54 |
| Prasoon | I want to combine two .deb. How i can do it? | 17:54 |
| Cleaver | haet? | 17:54 |
| Cleaver | jeez | 17:54 |
| Cleaver | heat? | 17:54 |
| FloodBot1 | Cleaver: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:54 |
| reisio | Prasoon: tar | 17:54 |
| ddilinger | jeremymcs: how might i debug? i added 2>&1 >/tmp/scrot.out to the scrot call(which is failing), but no output in file so i'm not sure how to even guess at the problem | 17:54 |
| Prasoon | reisio: It should be .deb only | 17:54 |
| jeremymcs | ddilinger, pastebin your script | 17:56 |
| coz_ | ddilinger, not sure if ddd will help,, and I keep forgetting how to use the darn thing for debugging | 17:56 |
| krambal | i have to run ubuntu thru wvware player because i cant find the proper drivers for my laptop | 17:56 |
| ddilinger | jeremymcs: http://pastie.org/1875364 It never gets as far as the "Uploading" notification and goes straight to "Failure" | 17:56 |
| Prasoon | reisio: So what you say? | 17:57 |
| reisio | Prasoon: | 17:57 |
| Prasoon | reisio: yes | 17:57 |
| amd64 | how can i install a software which is installed in one pc (with internet) to other without net ??? the software is already installed in pc with net. | 17:57 |
| coz_ | amd64, do you have a flash drive? | 17:57 |
| amd64 | ya | 17:58 |
| jeremymcs | amd64, you cant, unless you have the install package | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | amd64: sure, you can manually copy the debs over and use them (assuming the OS is the same architecture), or if you want something pretty, use aptoncd | 17:58 |
| iceroot | ddilinger: if it is a bash-script set -x is a good start, else "strace program" is the hardcore-debug version | 17:58 |
| hypetech | anybody know of a ppa for netbeans 7? the offical ubuntu repo only has 6.9 | 17:58 |
| coz_ | amd64, copy the install deb package to the flash drive and install on other system...although iwould check which depencies are necessary as well | 17:58 |
| iceroot | !offline | amd64 | 17:58 |
| ubottu | amd64: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD | 17:58 |
| GarryFre | There is no sick feeling like the sick feeling you get editing vi and you forget to go into insert mode and type an line and suddenly see the wreckage you've done. | 17:58 |
| ddilinger | iceroot: the problem is it works great from command line, just not when set as a gnome kyeboard shortcut(ctrl-prtscrn), i cant figure out how to get the debug output from gnome shortcuts | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | hypetech | 17:58 |

| ddilinger | jeremymcs: i've also tried with the file location as /tmp/$$.shot.png incase it was file permissions, but that also fails | 17:59 |
| SystemParadox | please could somebody confirm what the real md5sum is for natty-desktop-i386.iso | 17:59 |
| krambal | is there a way i can show you guys my specs for my machine | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | hypetech: for which release ? | 17:59 |
| hypetech | ActionParsnip: natty | 17:59 |
| daniturn | hi is this ubuntu room | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | krambal: sudo apt-get install lshw-gtk | 18:00 |
| oCean | SystemParadox: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 18:00 |
| coco | daniturn: yes it is | 18:00 |
| daniturn | cool | 18:00 |
| daniturn | i was just so confused | 18:00 |
| coco | no problem :) | 18:00 |
| krambal | ok action now what lol lol | 18:00 |
| hypetech | SystemParadox: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/MD5SUMS | 18:01 |
| SystemParadox | oCean, are ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso and natty-desktop-i386.iso supposed to be the same file? | 18:01 |
| daniturn | i hate how i updated ubuntu 10.10 to the next 1 and lost all my internet connections | 18:01 |
| gsr | anyone else having this problem: updated to 11.04 (ended up doing a clean install from CD). In both unity and gnome2, there are times where I get "stuck" in a focused window, and can't move to any other window. | 18:01 |
| Prasoon | amd64: you can use http://paste.ubuntu.com/604521/ to back up deb packages | 18:01 |
| krambal | i am having that problem as well | 18:01 |
| ruan | if i connect an ethernet cable between my linux desktop and a windows laptop, will file sharing be possible? | 18:02 |
| newbie007 | I've got two devices that support multitouch, one is a intel the other ARM. Will ubuntu support these out of the box? And can anyone point me to a video of it? | 18:02 |
| hypetech | SystemParadox: natty-desktop-i386.iso isn't an official file name | 18:02 |
| krambal | i have to alt-cntl-del then everything starts working again | 18:02 |
| Ubunewb | Hi everyone. How can it be that copy speed from one hd to another is 50 mb/s in windows xp, but only 25 mb/s in ubuntu 10.04? sata II on a sata I mainboard | 18:02 |
| oCean | SystemParadox: I have no iso with 'natty-desktop' in it, it's 11.04 | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | daniturn: upgrading can cause issues. Are there any bugs logged? | 18:02 |
| rumpe1 | ruan, 1000Mbps? "usual" cable? | 18:02 |
| raidghost | bla bla bla. | 18:02 |
| daniturn | ethernet cable why just do usb to usb | 18:02 |
| ruan | rumpe1: i guess, havent recieved the cable yet | 18:02 |
| SystemParadox | cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/daily-live/current/natty-desktop-i386.iso | 18:03 |
| ruan | usb is too slow for me | 18:03 |
| rumpe1 | ruan, if it's a usual (not crossover) cable and your cards can't do the crossover by itself (like some(?) Gigabitcards), it won't work | 18:03 |
| daniturn | i had the worse nighmare getting dvds to work today | 18:03 |
| ashmew2 | ruan: NEVER...NEVER Connect two PCs with a USB...NEVER | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ashmew2: why not? | 18:04 |
| ashmew2 | ruan: get a hub , fet two ethernet cables , all is well | 18:04 |
| ruan | ashmew2: yeah i meant usb flash drives, transfer speed was slow | 18:04 |
| oCean | SystemParadox: that is from pre-release, this is where you should be downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ | 18:04 |
| ashmew2 | ruan: oh kk | 18:04 |
| ruan | a hub? | 18:04 |
| Prasoon | how to combine two .deb into one | 18:04 |
| daniturn | ive run usb to usb on another laptop was fine | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Prasoon: why do you want to do that? | 18:04 |
| SystemParadox | oCean, I want rsync, releases.ubuntu.com does not support it, and zsync is BUGGED | 18:04 |
| ashmew2 | ruan: yeah , an ethernet port switch or something...like it has 4 or 5 or 10 ethernet ports for putting computers over a lan. | 18:04 |
| scott__ | hi, sorry if this channel is wrong, but I had an issue when downgrading from natty to lucid. | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ashmew2: usb lan is simple and works | 18:05 |
| krambal | ActionParsnip: whats next :) ? | 18:05 |
| newbie007 | ashmew2: also curious, why not (2 usb connected computers)? | 18:05 |
| raidghost | aplay -l finds 3 options. 1 is the front speakers. 2. is the subwoofer and 3 is the hdmi for sound on hdmi device. | 18:05 |
| hypetech | scott__: downgrading isn't really supported | 18:05 |
| daniturn | ok is there anyway to get tv on here without all the complications od mythtv | 18:05 |
| zs1otb | Help, I upgraded to 10.10 and now my video is not working... what can I do | 18:05 |
| sevoxx | ashmew2, Yes, why not? | 18:05 |
| raidghost | at the moment its using number 2 as default sound. I want to use number 1 as default. In gnome volume control its 2 and 3 thats found. | 18:05 |
| ruan | ashmew2: cant i just connect them with an ethernet cable? whats the hub for | 18:05 |
| oCean | SystemParadox: well, the link you're downloading from is pre-release. Anyway there is a link to the md5sums: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/daily-live/current/MD5SUMS | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip | krambal: for what? | 18:06 |
| newbie007 | daiturn: mythtv is more of a database telling ivtv when to record, mythtv doesn't actually do anything tv driver stuff | 18:06 |
| krambal | oh you just told me :P | 18:06 |
| SystemParadox | which matches the md5sums in the link you gave earlier. This is driving me mad | 18:06 |
| scott__ | I mean I installed the / directory of lucid over the / directory of natty, and kept the /home partition. I'm getting this error: Your photo library is not compatible with this version of Shotwell. It appears it was created by Shotwell 0.9.2. This version is 0.5.0. Please use the latest version of Shotwell. | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ruan: you can use crossover cable for p2p but you will need to set IPs manually | 18:06 |
| daniturn | newbie007 than what should i be using because thats what ive been told to use | 18:06 |
| magepsycho | i tried to use netbeans 7.0 for php in ubuntu and it's too slow ... i m newbie btw | 18:06 |
| krambal | bah this is my vmware application info not my actual machine grrr | 18:07 |
| newbie007 | daniturn: vlc, mplayer, you can also cat to a file | 18:07 |
| zs1otb | Help, I upgraded to 10.10 and now my video is not working... what can I do | 18:07 |
| SystemParadox | aha! my fault, I forgot to tell rsync to '-c' | 18:07 |
| GarryFre | I had the same experience with netbeans. Too slow. I went to eclipse, although its a bit confusing. | 18:07 |
| daniturn | newbie007: what for live tv | 18:07 |
| newbie007 | daniturn: the physical hardware just creates a mpeg or jpeg, it's live or with a 5 second lag | 18:08 |
| scott__ | Is there a solution, or do I need to reinstall natty? I was having problems with natty after doing an upgrade from 10.10. | 18:08 |
| daniturn | so how would i go bout doing that with a dvb-t stick | 18:08 |
| ashmew2 | ruan: Hub is for putting PCs over a lan..like a gaming computer shop and sharing internet...and file sharing and everything...You can do two pc connections without a hub afaik , but you have to cross cables , as someone already mentioned..a hub would cut down on work , plus its cheap | 18:08 |
| surskitty | scott__: when are you getting this error? | 18:08 |
| newbie007 | daniturn: the goal of mythtv is to connect a database of tv shows, with a recording, it also can delete commericals | 18:09 |
| surskitty | scott__: have you considered upgrading shotwell | 18:09 |
| scott__ | surskitty - Immediately after I click on the icon to start shotwell | 18:09 |
| andsch | Hay all, folks. Is there a way to buy from itunes music store without wine? | 18:09 |
| newbie007 | daniturn: the database is kind of nice, you can "SELECT tvshow where name like '*star trek*'" | 18:09 |
| surskitty | scott__: then ... upgrade it to 0.9.2? | 18:09 |
| daniturn | newbie007: ive tried everythin and still dont know where to start | 18:10 |
| Chazzd | The Windows irc is full of people yet no one talks, can anyone here see a reason why my windows temp folder wouldnt allow downlaods ? | 18:10 |
| zs1otb | Help, I upgraded to 10.10 and now my video is not working... the sound is OK... but no video on any application... what can I do | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | andsch: no, ituns uses propritary protocols so the only way iswith itunes | 18:10 |
| coco | sacres me when i see those updating comments.... | 18:10 |
| coco | scares* | 18:10 |
| daniturn | chazzd: no ive done that before | 18:10 |
| scott__ | surskitty: I'm sorry, I'm a noobie, and didn't know if there was a PPA. | 18:10 |
| zs1otb | @Chazzd - because its windows.... | 18:10 |
| hypetech | Chazzd: did the permissions get changed on the directory? | 18:10 |
| nibbler_ | does shotwell by now support a hirachy in the tags? (like f-spot does)? | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Chazzd: windows is offtopic here | 18:10 |
| jrib | Chazzd: this channel is for ubuntu support, please be patient in the appropriate channel | 18:10 |
| newbie007 | daniturn: it's not the easiest thing to setup, I've found that older hardware works better. I've got some sort of hauupgpahsp? usb device that works pretty well. Look into "ivtv" | 18:10 |
| andsch | hmmm... ok, that sucks, tho. :/ | 18:10 |
| === foxy is now known as Guest45781 | ||
| ActionParsnip | andsch: its apple, what did you expect | 18:11 |
| Chazzd | Its ju that this only happened after i canceld the installation of a library on ubuntu and everything went wierd | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | andsch: they are one of the most short sighted closed mided companies around | 18:11 |
| coco | Chazzd: why not doing a clean install | 18:11 |
| hypetech | Chazzd: where are you running ubuntu? | 18:11 |
| daniturn | this is confusing why cant it be as simple as windows media center on windows | 18:12 |
| newbie007 | andsch: I think if you promise to snail mail apple your physical location every 5 seconds they will inturn snail mail you a cassette :O | 18:12 |
| coco | daniturn: what you talking about | 18:12 |
| zs1otb | Help, I upgraded to 10.10 and now my video is not working... the sound is OK... but no video on any application... what can I do | 18:12 |
| coco | playing dvds? | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | daniturn: xbmc is pretty neat | 18:12 |
| surskitty | scott__: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/i386/shotwell/download or http://yorba.org/shotwell/install/ looks promising | 18:12 |
| andsch | Actually I think they were pretty visionary on allowing people to buy individual sound files on the go. | 18:12 |
| Chazzd | Im gonna do a clean install of linux t osee if it clears u pthe problem | 18:12 |
| hypetech | daniturn: check out Boxee | 18:12 |
| daniturn | coco: setting up live tv from a dvb-t stick | 18:12 |
| newbie007 | andsch: it wasn't their idea | 18:12 |
| Chazzd | well actaully im gonna upgrade it in recovery | 18:12 |
| hypetech | daniturn: oh nvm boxee won't help you with live tv | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | andsch: yeah if you run theright OS, other companies allow ALL OSes free reign | 18:13 |
| andsch | They were in sync with the eon urge to obsolete the compact disc media. | 18:13 |
| daniturn | i need a newbie way of doing it | 18:13 |
| daniturn | ive got boxee | 18:13 |
| newbie007 | hypetech daniturn: the hardware doesn't matter | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | daniturn: once you setup the tv card, any app can use it | 18:13 |
| newbie007 | daniturn: just use vlc | 18:13 |
| scott__ | surskitty: do I need to upgrade through a ppa, or manually download a deb file? | 18:13 |
| coco | vlc is good for that daniturn | 18:13 |
| surskitty | scott__: pretty sure either works | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | daniturn: if you haven't setup thetv device then it won't work. | 18:14 |
| daniturn | how do i it up set up | 18:14 |
| daniturn | brb | 18:14 |
| GarryFre | Hmm, lets see. Natty is 11.04 and this guy says he upgraded his natty to 10.10. Something not right about this picture. | 18:14 |
| scott__ | surskitty: sorry I didn't see what you typed until after I pressed enter | 18:14 |
| scott__ | :) | 18:14 |
| scott__ | I'll check those out, thanks | 18:14 |

| ruan | zs1otb: can you play them with another player, eg. vlc? | 18:19 |
| reisio | zs1otb: mplayer -vo help | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | zs1otb: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras | 18:19 |
| zs1otb | <ActionParsnip> yes I have and no player is giving video although all the players the sound is fine | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | zs1otb: try installing w32codecs from medibuntu too | 18:20 |

| zs1otb | I have | 18:20 |
| coz_ | cheater53, I cant find it in my scrollback,,,, when was this? | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | zs1otb: also install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly | 18:21 |
| kostkon | zs1otb, also, try installing ffmpeg and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg | 18:21 |
| needlez | zs1otb: have you tried playing them from the terminal?? | 18:22 |
| dagon | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iSUqqTXDOU&feature=related | 18:22 |
| ikerc_ | http://www.pastie.org/1875427 howto search serial port like /dev/USBx ? | 18:22 |
| zs1otb | <ActionParsnip> I have installed all those and ffmpeg and <needlez> no not in terminal | 18:23 |
| needlez | sudo aptitude -y install mplayer-nogui... then mplayer /path/to/your/video/file | 18:23 |
| S4RY | Salutation | 18:23 |
| reisio | zs1otb: try a different vo, mplayer -vo help | 18:23 |
| reisio | S4RY: shalom | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | zs1otb: try different video output methods in the vide setting in vlc.i had to change it on my nvida gpu'd system | 18:24 |
| coco | you need mplayer-gui its better | 18:24 |
| S4RY | i've been facing this lately http://paste.ubuntu.com/604527/ , trying to figure it out. | 18:24 |
| reisio | coco: is that smplayer? | 18:24 |
| coco | no its mplayer with a basic interface | 18:25 |
| S4RY | I can't tell if it in ubuntu part , or from my ISP service provider. | 18:25 |
| reisio | coco: mplay.sf.net ? | 18:25 |
| S4RY | *it is in / | 18:26 |
| coco | no it should be mplayer-gui | 18:26 |
| valberg | hi - how do i get more workspaces in unity? | 18:26 |
| gilesw | heya all | 18:26 |
| S4RY | hi | 18:26 |
| reisio | coco: going to assume it's gmplayer, then | 18:26 |
| zs1otb | <needlez> No candidate version found for mplayer-nogui was the response and then it removed a lot of programs | 18:26 |
| reisio | smplayer is far superior | 18:27 |
| gilesw | ubuntu picked gnome classic after my nvidia drivers weren't installed automatically | 18:27 |
| reisio | but does require Qt, IIRC | 18:27 |
| coco | reisio`its different | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | valberg: in ccsm under general options | 18:27 |
| gilesw | i've got them installed now and want to try unity | 18:27 |
| reisio | coco: from gmplayer? | 18:27 |
| coco | gmplayer cant play url if i remember | 18:27 |
| gilesw | but the standard ubuntu session seems to be tied to gnome | 18:27 |
| gilesw | any idea how i change it to be unity? | 18:27 |
| usr13 | How does one select vga mode in grub? | 18:27 |
| reisio | coco: course it can | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: smplayer isjust a different gui to the same mplayer, you can use gnome-mplayer and not haul in a tonne of Qt deps | 18:28 |
| reisio | it's definitely old and lacking in features, though | 18:28 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: yeah, but does gnome-mplayer have all those features | 18:28 |
| gilesw | do i need to edit the gdm sessions? | 18:28 |
| coco | gnomeplayer is the one that cant play url | 18:28 |
| gilesw | does ubuntu still use gdm? | 18:28 |
| reisio | ah | 18:28 |
| reisio | gilesw: yes it does | 18:29 |
| gilesw | ta reisio | 18:29 |
| reisio | gilesw: log out | 18:29 |
| reisio | gilesw: choose a user name, then before entering a password, at the bottom, select 'Ubuntu', IIRC | 18:29 |
| coco | i dont know why they stopped mplayer-gui...i heard they stop doing it | 18:29 |
| reisio | (as opposed to 'Ubuntu Classic') | 18:29 |
| gilesw | thats the thing it hasn't selected classic | 18:29 |
| reisio | coco: because it was really old and underdeveloped, and better alternatives existed | 18:29 |
| ruan | is it possible to use kdm on gnome? | 18:30 |
| reisio | gilesw: what's it selected? | 18:30 |
| fridgerator | does anyone know the PPA for winepulse? their website is always down | 18:30 |
| reisio | ruan: yes, but goofy | 18:30 |
| gilesw | just ubuntu | 18:30 |
| ruan | i tried but window decorations didnt work | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | coco: it can play urls, theshortcut is ctrl+L | 18:30 |
| gilesw | i think it's decided i don't have the hardware | 18:30 |
| valberg | ActionParsnip: thnx! | 18:30 |
| reisio | gilesw: so what's the problem? | 18:30 |
| paspro | smplayer is much better | 18:30 |
| ruan | when i ran compiz then it crashed | 18:30 |
| gilesw | so the ubuntu session loads gn 2 | 18:30 |
| coco | ActionParsnip: thx for the trick | 18:30 |
| ruan | could've tried metacity | 18:30 |
| gilesw | i'm going to check the actual session config file | 18:30 |
| gsr | anyone else having this problem: updated to 11.04 (ended up doing a clean install from CD). In both unity and gnome2, there are times where I get "stuck" in a focused window, and can't move to any other window. | 18:30 |
| gilesw | so impressed by the new installer | 18:30 |
| usr13 | In other words, what would be the grub equilivant of lilo's line(s) "vga = normal" and/or append="nomodeset" | 18:30 |
| usr13 | ? | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: I'd assume the gui would take advantage of all the features, to not enable a user to do so makes no sense at all | 18:31 |
| gilesw | most painless install of any os for me ever | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: in /etc/default/grub in the quotes with: quiet splash | 18:31 |
| ruan | gilesw: the livecd installer? | 18:31 |
| bindi | Hey, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and a GTX 570 (probably related) - each time I start up (in ubuntu classic), I get bunch of errors in the other screen.. like "trash" has stopped unexpectedly | 18:31 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: well they didn't finish it, I guess | 18:31 |
| gilesw | ya | 18:31 |
| reisio | mplayer has a lot of features | 18:31 |
| bindi | The both screens have panels for some reason | 18:31 |
| reisio | I've never seen a GUI that can easily utilize them _all_ | 18:31 |
| ruan | gilesw: is it much more different than the 10.10 one? | 18:31 |
| coco | mplayer is the bomb | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: run: sudo update-grub after edittin / saving the file | 18:32 |
| reisio | ^ | 18:32 |
| coco | love it | 18:32 |
| gilesw | i haven't installed bunty in a while | 18:32 |
| gilesw | on desktop mind | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: what options do you believe are missing? | 18:32 |
| needlez | ok still no luck with avi file?? zs1otb?? | 18:32 |
| andsch | no. mplayer2 is the bomb. | 18:32 |
| paspro | is anyone experiencing video tearing on 11.04 with nvidia graphics card? | 18:32 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: from what? | 18:32 |
| andsch | it's dev is very manly. | 18:32 |
| reisio | its* | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | gilesw: i fund xpudeasier, doesnt ask any questions ;) | 18:32 |
| reisio | mplayer2 is a joke | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: well you are saying gnome mplayer is missing sometings. Maybe I can find them for you | 18:33 |
| coco | mplayer2 ??? | 18:33 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: as compared to smplayer | 18:33 |
| ruan | is there a console-based video player which converts to text? | 18:33 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Right now, quiet splash do not have quotes around them.... | 18:33 |
| reisio | coco: don't give it a second thought | 18:33 |
| coco | lol | 18:33 |
| andsch | yes, the vanguardeous media player forked from the each day more relapse mplayer | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: yes but what is missing, i your eyes? | 18:34 |
| reisio | coco: some dork's attempt to usurp the mplayer name | 18:34 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: We're talking grub2 here, right? | 18:34 |
| coco | lol | 18:34 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: (I suppose it would be the same for grub1 as well as grub2...?) | 18:34 |
| mfpockets | hello all | 18:34 |
| jonas_ | Hi everyone. I'm working on a remote server. I want to use the most recent version of vim. I compiled it in my home dir. Now how do I change the link so the most recent version will always be used? The change shouldn't be global but only for me. Currently set an alias in .bashrc but there must be a nicer way? | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: they should, yes grub2. here is my file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/604531/ | 18:34 |
| mfpockets | Im looking for some help getting rt3070sta driver to work. | 18:34 |
| needlez | hey can plymouth be changed easily?? or is it still a pain in the arse? | 18:34 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: as compared to smplayer, or in general? | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: grub legacy uses temenu.lst file and is cumbersome | 18:35 |
| reisio | jonas_: that's pretty nice... | 18:35 |
| mfpockets | i compiled the driver, and installed it, the device shows in iwconfig, but cannot see any networks. if i disconnect the usb and reconnect it it says device not ready and in dmesg im getting failed to initialize rt28xx | 18:35 |
| astropirate | Could someone tell me where Gedit Plugins go in Gnome 3? | 18:35 |
| reisio | jonas_: could put it into /usr/local/bin/, though | 18:35 |
| kdelooping | am looping on the start up icons in a Natty Kubuntu install from DVD ... is to a fresh hard drive. Any tips to getting working? | 18:35 |
| mfpockets | i blacklisted rt2870sta and rt28xx but it doesnt seem to work. | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: i'll makeit easy: what features are in smplayer which aren't in (or you cannot locate) in gnome-mplayer?? | 18:36 |
| andsch | http://www.mplayer2.org/comparison.html <- mplayer2 is lightyears ahead of mplayer. | 18:36 |
| mfpockets | also a lsmod shows rt3070 loaded but no device using the driver. | 18:36 |
| mfpockets | idea? | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | astropirate: gnome3 isnt supported here | 18:36 |
| samolly | ? | 18:36 |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: dunno | 18:36 |
| bindi | Fixed my previous problem.. | 18:36 |
| spetrea | what's the inverse of pidof ? | 18:37 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Mine doesn't look like that. (See: http://pastebin.com/q82G9muL ) | 18:37 |
| bindi | Is it possible to get Windows 7 style icons for the window changer? No titles, just icons | 18:37 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: you DON'T edit grub.cfg. READ the top 10 lines of the file... | 18:37 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Maybe it's because I'm LTS (which has been through 3 dist-upgrades)..? | 18:37 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Oh.....yea | 18:37 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: grub2 is grub2 in any distribution | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: try using eyes, it helps | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: I also said to edit /etc/default/grub | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: I never even mentioned rub.cfg so why you are messing with that file is anyones guess | 18:38 |
| krambal | http://pastebin.com/LHgpR4PL is the error i am getting when i try and run my bluray | 18:38 |
| krambal | any ideas | 18:38 |
| mfpockets | help with wireless usb card please anyone? | 18:39 |
| mehdi | hello guy | 18:39 |
| andsch | actually, grub2 is THE grub in every distribution. | 18:39 |
| andsch | Your computer can't be complete without it. | 18:39 |
| ActionParsnip | bindi: sure, grab an icon pack from www.gnome-look.org | 18:39 |
| daniturn | so im back | 18:39 |
| lwizardl | hello | 18:39 |
| ActionParsnip | andsch: some distros use Lilo | 18:39 |
| coco | clean install daniturn ??? | 18:39 |
| Chipzzz | spetrea: you could try htop | 18:39 |
| triyo | Is there any recommendation about fixing sound when it is too low. I have my sound set to 100%, its far to low. | 18:39 |
| bindi | ActionParsnip: hum I mean.. you know, the taskbar? or window changer.. whatever | 18:39 |
| daniturn | i need a newbie guide to guide me how set up live tv with a dvb-t stick | 18:39 |
| coco | oh it wasn't you sorry...oops | 18:39 |
| avinashhm | Hi guys , i want to burn an iso image to a DVD .. not sure how in ubuntu .. any pointers please .. | 18:39 |
| jumpkick | what is the modern ubuntu way of setting up console frame buffers? | 18:40 |
| bindi | ActionParsnip: so there's no titles of the windows, just the icon of the program | 18:40 |
| andsch | ActionParsnip: These are subpar distros. True distroes use grub2. | 18:40 |
| mehdi | does anyone knows how to control screen brightness on ubuntu | 18:40 |
| bindi | ActionParsnip: like a dock, embedded in the panel | 18:40 |
| reisio | triyo: you should be able to artificially boost it with pulse or jack | 18:40 |
| triyo | I'm running 11.04 | 18:40 |
| reisio | mplayer can use -af volume=10, etc. | 18:40 |
| andsch | ActionParsnip: Grub2 is so awesome some distroes ship only with it installed, nothing more. | 18:40 |
| daniturn | mehdi: power management | 18:40 |
| andsch | I would take my clothes out for grub2 any day. | 18:40 |
| krambal | reisio was that towards me | 18:40 |
| LinuxFetus | Hey I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit on a machine with RAID 0 as its only HD configuration (i.e. I don't have a non-raid drive to install to). Anyway, I _believe_ I have FakeRaid, if that helps -- but I'm in the Ubuntu installer and I'm wondering what I should select for the "Device for boot loader installation". The two that seem reasonable for me are "/dev/dm-0" and "/dev/mapper/isw_babdfbfafa_RAIDVOL Linux device- | 18:40 |
| LinuxFetus | mapper (striped) (1.5 TB)" | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | andsch: gentoo gives the option of both | 18:40 |
| spetrea | Chipzzz: thx | 18:40 |
| triyo | reisio: what do you mean by pulse or jack? | 18:40 |
| Chipzzz | spetrea: yw | 18:41 |
| ActionParsnip | andsch: users have choice, just because you dislike an application doesn't mean it is the gospel | 18:41 |
| ActionParsnip | bindi: i believe it is dockbarx | 18:41 |
| triyo | Sound used to be higher, its gone far to low lately. Must have happened after installing something lately. | 18:41 |
| mehdi | i m running ubuntu 11.4 but there is no such a thing like controling screen bithness | 18:41 |
| andsch | ActionParsnit: But grub2 is the sex. | 18:41 |
| === sm is now known as Guest24457 | ||
| needlez | hey off topic question: what happened to pidgin as default?? I mean I still have it for me and know where to find it but why did ubuntu go away from pidgin | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | andsch: to you maybe | 18:42 |
| andsch | I have lost my virginity to grub2 | 18:42 |
| bindi | ActionParsnip: that isnt embedded in the panel | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | andsch: youmay think similar of ubuntu wheras others dislike it | 18:42 |
| reisio | andsch: I should do that | 18:42 |
| donkeyinspace | hello, how to know if unity is enabled and how to disable it? | 18:42 |

| lwizardl | Can someone tell me how to fix a few things in 11.04. 1) when i click on an email address it doesn't open thunderbird new compose. I overwrited the files in .thunderbird with my old ones from past OS install to keep all my emails etc. 2) how do i turn off the auto snap full window feature. 3) is there a way to add commands to the right click menu ? i want to add compress to a file type | 18:42 |
| reisio | donkeyinspace: you would know if it were enabled | 18:42 |
| tensorpudding | donkeyinspace: did you log into the Ubuntu session? are you running 11.04? | 18:43 |
| tensorpudding | donkeyinspace: if yes to both, you're running unity | 18:43 |
| coco | see you guys later :) | 18:43 |
| jeffrash | does anyone know if the custom option for preferred applications is coming back? | 18:43 |
| needlez | donkeyinspace: when you log in it lets you choose ubuntu , or ubuntu classic... ubuntu has unity, ubuntu classic doesnt | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | lwizardl: 3) look into nautilus scripts | 18:43 |
| mang0 | lwizardl, all thinks I want to know :) | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | lwizardl: 2) look in ccsm | 18:43 |
| mehdi | how to reduce screen bithness | 18:43 |
| mang0 | mehdi | 18:44 |
| donkeyinspace | needlez , dont see that option when logging | 18:44 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Done. And grub-update reported no errors, so does that mean that I have not syntax errors? | 18:44 |
| daniturn | live tv anyone | 18:44 |
| usr13 | *no not not | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | lwizardl: ubuntu tweak has a few you can enable easily, or you can download scripts online | 18:44 |
| mang0 | you can either see if there are any buttons on your actual moniter | 18:44 |
| mang0 | or google | 18:44 |
| mang0 | !google how to change brightness in ubuntu | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: if update-grub ran smooth then all should be ok, reboot to test | 18:44 |
| ubottu | I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ | 18:44 |
| mang0 | fuu | 18:44 |
| needlez | donkeyinspace: if your on 11.04 you have that choice, on the bottom bar when you login | 18:45 |
| mang0 | someone should put a !google command in, shouldn't be too hard | 18:45 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Ok. | 18:45 |
| reisio | I can make ubottu say things | 18:45 |
| donkeyinspace | needlez , thanks | 18:45 |
| LjL | mang0: it's not there on purpose. just giving the googles is not really encouraged... we have official documentation and stuff | 18:45 |
| needlez | donkeyinspace: np | 18:45 |
| mang0 | fair nuf LjL | 18:45 |

| === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK | ||
| mang0 | Lol, you mean watching TV on the computer? Thats illegal if it's live and you have no licence...(in UK anyway) | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | LetterRip: report it on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com | 18:48 |
| LetterRip | A lot of hardware for convenience access - buttons, sound wheels - etc. not work out of the box | 18:48 |
| needlez | its just tv that can watch on computer... | 18:48 |
| mang0 | okay guys, I've got a couple of questions: 1). when I have uninstalled an app, how do I remove it from the applications menu? It seems to stay there. 2). If I want to run an application of an external harddrve, how do I install it from the software center? it seems to not ask where I want to install it...and I need this app on an EXTERNAL not Internal | 18:48 |
| LetterRip | a possible way to fix this - is to have the user activate the button etc | 18:48 |
| daniturn | well we gathered that otherwise i wouldnt have a usb tv stick | 18:48 |
| LetterRip | and have the hardware listening for signals | 18:49 |
| gilesw | hmm I looked in /usr/share/xsessions and I don't have a unity xsession file | 18:49 |
| LetterRip | and once it finds a new item | 18:49 |
| LetterRip | you can assign it | 18:49 |
| gilesw | could someone look in their directory? | 18:49 |
| LetterRip | to the appropriate function | 18:49 |
| needlez | daniturn: lspci so we can know what the device is exactly to look it up | 18:49 |
| joi_ | hi | 18:49 |
| hypetech | gilesw: I have a "unity-2d.desktop" | 18:49 |
| needlez | or lsusb if its usb stick version | 18:49 |
| Chipzzz | mang0: to remove an item from a menu, right click on the menu, click on 'edit menus' and uncheck the shortcut | 18:49 |
| gilesw | hmm hypetech i don't have that | 18:50 |
| joi_ | hi | 18:50 |

| joi_ | hello | 18:50 |

| gilesw | ubuntu didn't install the restricted nvidia drivers and modified the default ubuntu session to be gnome 2 | 18:50 |
| The-Kernel | I also have an nvidia 9600 and duel screens | 18:51 |
| gilesw | i installed the drivers and want to give unity a try.. | 18:51 |
| Chipzzz | mang0: when you install an app from software center or apt-get, the package tells the installer where to put the files... you can't specify another option | 18:51 |
| joi_ | What are you talking about? | 18:51 |
| ActionParsnip | daniturn: ok now use that to findguides | 18:51 |
| sevoxx | Hmmmppph.... Unity has broken my apps UI | 18:51 |
| mang0 | Chipzzz, can I move the file/s once I have them? | 18:51 |
| Chipzzz | mang0: unlikely... you'll confuse the system | 18:52 |
| mang0 | bother. | 18:52 |
| joi_ | hi | 18:52 |
| Chipzzz | lol | 18:52 |
| joi_ | what? | 18:52 |
| mang0 | that's really annoying....I want to download a game, but I want it on my 1TB hard drive, not my internal one. :/ | 18:53 |
| daniturn | ok this is confusing looking up guides | 18:53 |

| mang0 | hm, it would be useful though...I mean, I want a 1GB game, but I really don't wanna fill up my internal which is fairly small | 18:58 |
| woodzy_ | i get the following error - http://pastebin.com/dw7Latex - when i try and install GGZ gaming. | 18:58 |
| Vhozard | NotNotSure: log out, at the log in screen select Ubuntu Classic | 18:58 |
| daniturn | is there a way to make 10.10 look like 11.04 with out updating? | 18:58 |
| Chipzzz | mang0: there's recompiling the app or mounting the external drive where the game installs... things like that but there are obvious downsides to both | 18:58 |
| mang0 | I selected ubuntu classic, and it looked no differant Vhozard... | 18:59 |

| cipher | I'm getting the following error http://pastebin.com/x394gbQp when trying to run 'ssvnc.' this started with an upgrade to ubuntu natty | 18:59 |

| cipher | I currently use bluetile as my window manager (gnome + bluetile) | 19:00 |
| daniturn | because 11.04 didnt reconize my wifi here | 19:00 |
| bindi | Or even better, why does having a >24px thick panel and "none (use system theme)" color make it have 2 colors? | 19:00 |
| billr | I'm attempting to setup 11.04, but when I attempt to install it, it fails to boot with the error message no init found, and drops me into busybox. Any idea on how to fix it? | 19:00 |
| kdelooping | I was just trying install Natty and the first file system suggested is "ext4" but my old Hardy install doesn't know ext4 ... Does the ubuntu community recommend installing ext4? What file system are most of you using. | 19:00 |
| daniturn | when i updated | 19:00 |
| mang0 | Chipzzz can I not just unhide the folders in my my home folder (.whatever) and move it somewhere else? | 19:00 |
| Vhozard | kdelooping: The default system everyone uses is EXT4 | 19:00 |
| DarkStar1 | julian_c: I'll try get them from the repos now | 19:00 |
| needlez | daniturn: i meant y bother making it look like unity? unity is a cluttered mess | 19:00 |
| Vhozard | kdelooping: You can use ext3 for great compatability however (it will not be as fast though) | 19:01 |

| needlez | daniturn: ahh , well then in synaptic there should be a package for unity, and you have to install it, log out and pick unity on the lower bar when you log back in if i remember correctly | 19:01 |
| Chipzzz | mang0: you can try it by renaming the hidden folders & copying the directory elsewhere... that way you can easily put it back if it doesn't work... | 19:01 |
| cipher | I just realized that (with respect to the error) that my .Xresources has the definition of the misssing s_base03 | 19:02 |

| Chipzzz | mang0: the problem is that games usually install in /opt or /usr/somethingOrOther | 19:02 |

| Glycan | Here's what I've got: A toshiba satellite laptop which had vista on it, then openSUSE (in another partition), then it's screen broke and it got handed to me. I put ubuntu on it, and due to space issues, tryed to delete windows not beign clear about partitions at the time. (Oh, I forgot. It runs PhoenixBIOS) When it boots, it runs MS's OS chooser, from which I was able to run U's OS chooser (I'm | 19:38 |
| Glycan | pretty sure it was GRUB). Now that most of windows doesn't exist, it doesn't work. I tryed doing https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows , but ran into problems with live cd/usb. The working box I'm doing this from doesn't have working cd drives, so I burned dvd-r after dvd-r to no avail- all they showed was soem sort of busybox shell, not U. The I finnaly got | 19:38 |
| Glycan | my hands on a cleen flash drive (why are they called that anyways..?) and first put a unchecksum'd copy on it, and that showed me a full ubuntu, complete with banshee and network settings, asking me if I wanted to install or live. Live showed but a black screen with a (working) mouse pointer on it. I then put about three copys of ubuntu on it, hopeing that they would work without restart (one | 19:38 |
| Glycan | was already there, the laptop overheated in the middle of the second one, the third on worked, and the 4th one was a failed attempt to put it on an existing partition. Then I put a checksum'd .iso on it, as per unetbootin-win-549.exe. When I boot on that, it sometimes boots a "UNetootin" menu, with Default, Help, Try Ubuntu without installign, Install Ubuntu, Check disc for defects, Test | 19:38 |

| tensorpudding | boteeka: you can read appindicator.Indicator.__doc__, it shows the signals/properties it supports | 19:45 |
| sammy | ufw reports inactive. hypetech axisys you're saying it comes with ufw, but not necesarily that it's enabled by default, right? | 19:45 |

| tensorpudding | boteeka: that's a bit odd, it probably doesn't reload the icon if the name stays the same, but i don't know | 19:47 |
| allu2 | Glycan: i know, my screen is broken too :P | 19:47 |
| sammy | everything is defaults, the router is its defaults. both can go through the router to the internet just fine. my routing table looks okay (its the default, which should allow the machines to talk to each other since they're on the same subnet) and the router is a simple home modem/router which would by default allow machines on the wlan to see and talk to each other. | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | vooze: the fact it pulls in some codecs is nice but mplayer was doing all the stuff vlc was doing, long before it showed up | 19:47 |
| allu2 | Glycan: lyes against my wall on my desk, giving me nice dual screen with external LCD screen :) | 19:48 |
| boteeka | tensorpudding: That was my hunch also, but I hoped somebody can point me to some doc where I can read it myself | 19:48 |
| boteeka | tensorpudding: thanks for your help | 19:48 |
| vooze | ActionParsnip, ah okay.. i just used VLC in my windows time.. Because it was (at least i think ;D) the best windows player | 19:48 |

| sammy | Polah: using the sudoers file, you can specify commands, but cp isn't a command, its a shell function. I'm not sure if its possible to allow access to what is essentially an internal function to bash or whatever shell the user is running. | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | vooze: different team for one, its fun to experiment. I use deadbeef alot too. Its light and fast | 19:49 |

| q_terra_96 | axisys: oh.. i try them many many times. i also change little bit the settings inside of "wobbly windows" of ccsm but it doens not change anything.. and i retrun the settings back... | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | stiglix: sudo nano /etc/fstab | 20:04 |
| Polah | axisys: of the destination folder? | 20:04 |
| axisys | q_terra_96: using unity? | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: and the output of: lsb_release -d | 20:04 |
| axisys | Polah: yes please | 20:04 |
| stiglix | if i try to edit it with nano, it says Error writing /etc/fstab: Read-only file system | 20:04 |
| q_terra_96 | axisys: no i never log on with unity (maybe one time , i don't remeber) | 20:04 |
| hypetech | stiglix: use sudo to edit it | 20:05 |
| Polah | axisys: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 7 22:45 . | 20:05 |

| Captainkrtek | Hey all the new Ubuntu users out there, if you have time fill out this survey! http://bit.ly/lZk5xw | 20:05 |
| aliisonline | well then use gksu nautilus | 20:05 |
| nerdshell | ActionParsnip: the path you gave me is just for universe and multiverse sources, I wan the editable file which contains the sources of all applications, because I'm having problems with chrome's Repo | 20:05 |
| axisys | q_terra_96: then ask in #compiz | 20:05 |
| q_terra_96 | axisys: ok thank you! :) | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: ok try: cat /etc/lsb-release | grep CODE | 20:05 |

| LinuxFetus | Can anyone tell me where I should go for Fake RAID help? I'm guessing from the lack of response here that no one knows how to help me. I restored the Windows MBR and cannot use Linux on my computer until I get this figured out. | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: ok cool | 20:06 |
| aliisonline | I am facing a little problem also can you guys help me. | 20:06 |
| sammy | fyi when you use a dumpy qwest-provided actiontec pk5000 router/modem and use two different SSIDs, the router apparently separates the clients into different vlans, even though the subnets are identical, and the individual clients on the different SSIDs cant see each other. a poor solution to having to enable WEP for devices that can't handle WPA, imho. | 20:06 |
| penguin42 | LinuxFetus: Is it one provided by the bios ? | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: may help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes | 20:06 |
| axisys | Polah: groupadd mynewgroup; chgrp myhewgroup dir_name ; chmod g+w dir_name; adduser myuser myhewgroup | 20:06 |
| LinuxFetus | penguin42, I believe so. There are RAID configuration options provided in the BIOS setup. | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: those intel 8 series chips are really touchy and can cause issues | 20:07 |
| Polah | axisys: Thanks | 20:07 |
| A_J_ | ActionParsnip, i will check.. ty | 20:07 |
| axisys | Polah: np | 20:07 |
| Glycan | Sorry, guys. | 20:07 |
| Glycan | My box was... stuff. | 20:07 |
| penguin42 | LinuxFetus: And what does Linux see? | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: don't install the lucid kernels, use the other fixes | 20:08 |
| jeanpaulsartre | mimic: A_J: don't install the lucid kernels, use the other fixes | 20:08 |
| A_J_ | ActionParsnip, how can i check which series my chip is ? | 20:08 |
| jeanpaulsartre | mimic: ActionParsnip, how can i check which series my chip is ? | 20:08 |
| Glycan | Can someone PM my text, please? | 20:08 |
| jeanpaulsartre | mimic: Can someone PM my text, please? | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | jeanpaulsartre: lspci | grep -i vga | 20:08 |
| Glycan | Also an answer.. | 20:08 |
| Glycan | BTW: It's toshiba satallite215 | 20:08 |
| Glycan | A215 | 20:08 |
| A_J_ | ActionParsnip, okie | 20:08 |
| Glycan | Er... guys? | 20:09 |
| nerdshell | ActionParsnip: it's actually in /etc/apt/sources.list.d ;) | 20:09 |
| constl | Running 11.04 on a Intel Duo @ 2.4 with 4 Gb of RAM, SSD and a GeForce 8400M GS and Gnome is not very responsive. Is this normal for the kind of laptop spec? | 20:09 |
| LinuxFetus | penguin42, Linux sees the 3 partitions the windowss computer came with (OS, and two recovery partitions) when Ubuntu 11.04 boots up. However, when I try to resize the OS partition, make an extended partition and then two partitions - ext4 and swap - and then install Ubuntu, I get a grub error upon restart and booting from the live CD will show that my extended partition is completely gone. | 20:09 |
| penguin42 | constl: Should be fast - you may need to make sure your video drivers are happy | 20:09 |
| Glycan | Oh, and another thing. I'm pretty sure it boots to the first partion. | 20:09 |
| A_J_ | ActionParsnip, the result will be instantaneous ? | 20:10 |
| LinuxFetus | penguin42, Additionally, if I only create the two partitions and restart without installing ubuntu and boot again fro mthe live CD, I get a magic number error on the ext4 partition. | 20:10 |
| axisys | nerdshell: thats the dir.. the otherone is file.. dir is for additional repos | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: you may need to reboot | 20:10 |
| penguin42 | LinuxFetus: Have you tried doing the partitioning from Windows? | 20:10 |
| LinuxFetus | penguin42, No. | 20:10 |
| penguin42 | LinuxFetus: The fact that Linux can see the partitions is a good sign I think | 20:10 |
| stojabreak | How can set to performance mode in my laptop ? | 20:10 |
| A_J_ | ActionParsnip, i will reboot brb | 20:10 |
| Glycan | Er... guys? | 20:11 |
| Glycan | Well? | 20:11 |
| LinuxFetus | penguin42, I know linux cannot resize its own partition from within itself. Could windows do that? | 20:11 |
| LinuxFetus | penguin42, Well maybe linux can, but I've never been able to do tha.t | 20:11 |
| constl | penguin42: System is upgraded and the NVIDIA current drivers are activated although "Additional drivers" util tells that are not currently in use. What can i do? | 20:11 |
| constl | *updated | 20:11 |
| nerdshell | axisys: yes, you're right, sorry | 20:11 |
| axisys | Glycan: while waiting for your answer you may want to post it in ubuntu desktop mailing list | 20:11 |
| axisys | nerdshell: not at all.. its cool | 20:12 |
| Glycan | Which is where? | 20:12 |
| penguin42 | LinuxFetus: I think there are tools on Windows but I'm not a windows guy, so just go back a step - remind me what partitions you currently have? | 20:12 |
| Glycan | Oh, lol, it booted from a cd I forgot was there... | 20:12 |
| josker | someone got problem when running gnome with last natty ? sometimes buttons are not responsible, when this happens i must move the windows in order to be able to click the button | 20:12 |
| penguin42 | constl: I use ATI not Nvidia so I'm not used to the drivers - but I suspect that is your problem | 20:12 |
| LinuxFetus | penguin42, two restore partitions, one windows os partition, one extended partition which has two partitions: an ext4 one and a linux swap one. | 20:12 |
| Glycan | Also, can someone pm me my question? I really don't want to retype it, and I lost it. | 20:12 |
| BlouBlou | josker: that may be a compiz problem, I haven't got any problem with gnome | 20:13 |
| aliisonline | HELLO. Though no replied to my request but still me asking. I am running Ubun 8.04 in multiuser settings. I mean i edited the xorg.conf for two seats. But now i am having some problem. If some how my usb keyboard wire gets disconnected (while me using gnome desktop) then after pluging back the wire i can not use keyboad in gnome till i logout or restart gdm or restart pc. I just want to know that how can i refresh my gdm usb input devices. | 20:13 |
| penguin42 | LinuxFetus: OK - that's your current state? | 20:13 |
| brian_of_tacoma | ActionParsnip: Ok, I am following this guide again -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=240282 When I run "sudo lpadmin -E -p hp5550..." I am getting this error "lpadmin: No such file or directory" ( i found the printer ... wasn't actually plugged in =D ) | 20:13 |
| axisys | Glycan: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+desktop+mailing+list | 20:13 |
| yeats | Glycan: you can probably arrow up in your IRC client to see what you typed | 20:13 |
| Glycan | No, I can't, my box had to reboot. | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | brian_of_tacoma: install cups-client | 20:14 |
| malik_ | hi all | 20:14 |
| brian_of_tacoma | its there | 20:14 |
| DJones | !logs | Glycan Ypou'll be able to find your question & any responses in the channel logs | 20:14 |

| LinuxFetus | penguin42, No. I didn't recieve a useful reply from anyone here after a few times last night and 2 this morning, so I went ahead and used ms-sys to restore the Windows MBR and started restoring my computer to factory settings. When that's done, I can try to re-setup the extended parition again. However, even when those two partitions were setup, the ext4 one had an error, like I described. | 20:15 |
| brian_of_tacoma | how do I find the folders | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | brian_of_tacoma: that package gives the lpadmin command | 20:15 |
| aliisonline | I am running Ubun 8.04 in multiuser settings. I mean i edited the xorg.conf for two seats. But now i am having some problem. If some how my usb keyboard wire gets disconnected (while me using gnome desktop) then after pluging back the wire i can not use keyboad in gnome till i logout or restart gdm or restart pc. I just want to know that how can i refresh my gdm usb input devices. | 20:15 |
| josker | BlouBlou: there is some way to turn it off ? | 20:15 |
| vooze | Been searching on google for a while now.. and cant find it;; IS THERE any way to change the color of the launcher?? | 20:15 |
| Adyeths | I'm having a problem with Unity. For some reason I can't click on anything in the bar at the top of the screen. Cannot log out. Cannot change sound volume. nothing like that. How would I go about fixing that? | 20:15 |
| brian_of_tacoma | hmmm hang on | 20:15 |
| malik_ | when i generate a ssh key pair using ssh-keygen the key.pub file contains the hostname of the local machine at the end, does it mean that only this system will get access using this specific key pair ?? | 20:15 |
| tensorpudding | vooze: what do you mean by the color? | 20:16 |
| BlouBlou | brian_of_tacoma: if it doesn't exist, make it; mkdir <folder> | 20:16 |
| penguin42 | LinuxFetus: OK, so after you've done this factory restor what will you have - the restore partition and the windows partition? | 20:16 |
| stojabreak | hi guys . how can i disable apm-utils in my laptop for performance mode ?;( | 20:16 |
| BlouBlou | josker: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 20:16 |
| Glycan | I take it Ubuntu+1 is what I'm looking for? | 20:16 |
| tensorpudding | vooze: the color of which part? | 20:16 |
| tensorpudding | no | 20:16 |
| vooze | tensorpudding, just want the same color "like backgrond of laucher is black) as my theme | 20:16 |
| LinuxFetus | penguin42, I'm not sure if windows will resize my OS partition to overwrite the ext4 and swap partitions, or not. | 20:16 |
| DJones | Glycan: No, #ubuntu | 20:16 |
| brian_of_tacoma | cups-client is already the newest version. | 20:16 |
| A_J | ubuntu website is showing down now :| | 20:16 |
| vooze | damn, i really dont understand why they did not make that option | 20:16 |
| vooze | or just could let launcher follow the colors of the rest of the theme | 20:17 |

| XenithOrb | Hi I have my computer set to not go to sleep at all or do anything when I close the lid - basically to keep it on and running normally all the time. Problem is, after a certain period of the time the wireless card disconnects from the wireless network regardless of the power settings. How do I go about changing this behavior? | 20:17 |
| A_J | can any1 confirm that ubuntu wiki is down | 20:17 |
| LinuxFetus | A_J, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ works for me. | 20:17 |

| penguin42 | LinuxFetus: Hmm OK; so I'd make one partition change at a time and check it's happy - you might also want to check what dmraid in linux says, I think it should be able to tell you LInux's view of the fake reaid | 20:18 |

| A_J | Vooze Thank you | 20:19 |
| tensorpudding | aliisonline: what do you mean by "edited for two seats" | 20:19 |
| penguin42 | aliisonline: Please don't repeat your question so often - if someone could help you they would | 20:19 |
| LinuxFetus | penguin42, I did make 1 partition change at a time while I was doing that. But it's still "configuring my desktop." I suspect it has less than 5 minutes left since I've done this before. | 20:19 |
| aliisonline | me using 2 vga cards to use both | 20:19 |
| === Krabbe is now known as krabbe | ||
| aliisonline | so edited xorg.conf and gave the IDS for usb devices | 20:20 |
| Glycan | Oh no! It got cut? | 20:20 |
| tensorpudding | aliisonline: this probably is not an issue with xorg | 20:20 |
| Glycan | ! | 20:20 |
| LinuxFetus | penguin42, I have heard of the dmraid package. What exactly do you mean to check what it says? Read the documentation online or something? | 20:20 |
| aliisonline | yes it is the problem with gdm | 20:20 |
| penguin42 | LinuxFetus: There is a command dmraid and I think it can tell you about the configuration of fake raid | 20:20 |
| aliisonline | i mean when i again plug back usb keyboard | 20:20 |
| aliisonline | i can switch to different tty screens | 20:20 |
| aliisonline | but in gdm environment i can't use keyboard | 20:21 |
| Captainkrtek | Hey all the new Ubuntu users out there, if you have time fill out this survey! http://bit.ly/lZk5xw | 20:21 |
| Glycan | If anyone comes up with anything, PM me, so that I get it. I hav e to go some quick stuff, but please, I really need to get this working as fast a possible, so if you think of anything, PM me. | 20:21 |
| tensorpudding | aliisonline: this sounds like a bug, but i'm not sure | 20:21 |
| BlouBlou | Captainkrtek: you may want to talk in #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:22 |
| brian_of_tacoma | BlouBlou: the problem is that /usr/share/ppd/cups-included/ only includes 2 files and doesn't include the HP directory in the command listed. | 20:22 |
| brian_of_tacoma | sudo lpadmin -E -p hp5550 -v usb://hp/deskjet%205550?serial=MY25K1K0TC2L -P /usr/share/ppd/cups-included/HP/deskjet.ppd -u allow:all | 20:22 |
| Captainkrtek | BlouBlou, just trying to get some feedback for the ubuntu advertising team | 20:22 |
| S4RY | Glycan , i got some of your posts. | 20:22 |
| aliisonline | my default short cut key to swiich tty screens is CTRL+ALT+F# but after plugging back my usb keyboard it becomes ALT+F# | 20:22 |
| Adyeths | Upgraded to 11.04 and now I'm having a problem with Unity. For some reason I can't click on anything in the bar at the top of the screen. Cannot log out. Cannot change sound volume. nothing like that. How would I go about fixing that? | 20:23 |
| LinuxFetus | penguin42, Yes, it looks like Windows removed the extended partition because the C:\ drive is 1.35 TB again. | 20:23 |
| LjL | Captainkrtek: surveys, poll etc are not allowed on this channel. i'm sure you mean the best, but #ubuntu-offtopic is the appropriate place | 20:23 |
| BlouBlou | Adyeths: Are you using nvidia geforce fx? | 20:23 |
| Captainkrtek | sorry LjL | 20:23 |

| Tomfoolery | I have no idea how to fix it. I'm a real noob with ubuntu as well =/ | 20:24 |
| kneaux | Anybody running 11.04 with ATi? | 20:24 |
| Adyeths | its an nvidia gforce 6150le | 20:24 |
| aliisonline | Hello any1 can point that how to refresh gdm usb devices | 20:24 |
| stojabreak | kneaux | 20:25 |
| stojabreak | im | 20:25 |
| allu2 | by the way killiling aptitude at install with control c made it seg fault and renders rest of install un doable | 20:25 |
| BlouBlou | Adyeths: Go to aditional-drivers, which driver do you have installed? Appears something like "it's installed but not in use"? | 20:25 |
| stojabreak | running Ati radeom mobility 5730hd in asus laptopt and Natty | 20:25 |
| gsr | anyone else having this problem: updated to 11.04 (ended up doing a clean install from CD). In both unity and gnome2, there are times where I get "stuck" in a focused window, and can't move to any other window. | 20:26 |
| brian_of_tacoma | BlouBlou: there are only 2 files in /usr/share/ppd/cups-included/ postscript.ppd &textonly.ppd | 20:26 |
| kneaux | stojabreak: I'm having this horrible (drawing order?) problem with e.g. Google Earth, Stellarium, Flash, know what I'm talking about? | 20:26 |
| Adyeths | ok, it says its activated but not currently in use. | 20:26 |
| igordcard | does anybody here uses a C6000 Samsung TV series on Linux? | 20:26 |
| BlouBlou | Adyeths: heh, I know how to fix it :) | 20:26 |
| kneaux | stojabreak: flickery windows that keep drawing in the foreground even if there's windows in front of them | 20:27 |
| BlouBlou | Adyeths: You have to unistall that driver, restar computer, install *experimental* ones, and reinstall again :) | 20:27 |
| Adyeths | wonderful. I'd love to know how to fix it. :) | 20:27 |
| BlouBlou | experimental = free drivers | 20:27 |
| stojabreak | yes ! im too , with drivers you are currently use ? | 20:27 |
| BlouBlou | Adyeths: I had this problem too | 20:27 |
| angelic | One more problem... I have got the wifi working (I installed its driver now that I've found it) but.. for some reason I don't see the "power" icon in the taskbar. | 20:27 |
| Adyeths | thanks! | 20:28 |
| axisys | Captainkrtek: done | 20:28 |
| aliisonline | Hello can any1 point that how to refresh gdm usb devices | 20:28 |
| BlouBlou | Adyeths: you're welcome! | 20:28 |
| Captainkrtek | axisys, thanks! | 20:28 |
| angelic | Captainkrtek: Hey, man think you can help me with one small issue for abit? | 20:29 |
| Captainkrtek | angelic, sure thing | 20:29 |
| aliisonline | Hello can any1 point that how to refresh gdm usb devices | 20:30 |
| angelic | Captainkrtek: Well, for some reason I don't see the power icon in gnome.. I have no idea why. I can't see if its running off of power or battery(icon) | 20:30 |
| BlouBlou | aliisonline: what do you mean by gdm usb devices? | 20:30 |
| BlouBlou | brian_of_tacoma: I have no idea, sorry :( | 20:30 |
| Captainkrtek | angelic, hmm hold on let me tinker around | 20:30 |
| brian_of_tacoma | Ok, here is my exact issue: The guide I am using (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=240282) calls for running a command "sudo lpadmin -E -p hp5550 -v usb://hp/deskjet%205550?serial=MY25K1K0TC2L -P /usr/share/ppd/cups-included/HP/deskjet.ppd -u allow:all" ... but there's no HP directory there | 20:30 |
| brian_of_tacoma | there are only 2 .ppd files there | 20:31 |
| stravant | Can anyone else not build Gtk+ code on natty? I get "undefined reference to `g_source_set_time` building an empty main function that includes gtk.h | 20:31 |
| aliisonline | my i gave the IDS for usb input devices in xorg.conf to use in multiseat environment | 20:31 |
| BlouBlou | brian_of_tacoma: Then create there with "mkdir <directory>" and run the command again, doesn't it work? | 20:31 |
| brian_of_tacoma | but there is also no .ppd file in that dir | 20:32 |
| Captainkrtek | angelic, try installing it from here https://live.gnome.org/BatteryStatus | 20:32 |
| brian_of_tacoma | do I create that too? | 20:32 |
| Captainkrtek | angelic, there are instructions if you scroll down a little | 20:32 |
| BlouBlou | brian_of_tacoma: no, that only works with folders | 20:32 |
| brian_of_tacoma | what is a ppd file? | 20:32 |
| brian_of_tacoma | can i DL it from somewhere | 20:33 |
| SomeShmo | How come BitchX isn't in the repositories and how do I get? | 20:33 |
| angelic | Captainkrtek: Odd thing is though when I unplug the AC, the battery icon appears but when I plug the AC back in, it disappears.. it doesn't show the socket image | 20:33 |
| BlouBlou | brian_of_tacoma: PPD = "PostScript Printer Description" | 20:34 |

| ubottu | bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. | 20:34 |
| brian_of_tacoma | how do I get one of those for the printer I have? | 20:34 |
| angelic | axisys: What do you mean? | 20:34 |
| Seveas | SomeShmo, it's dropped because it's an unsafe and unsecure piece of sh^Hoftware | 20:34 |
| axisys | angelic: go to Power Management | 20:34 |
| axisys | angelic: then look in the General tab | 20:35 |
| SomeShmo | Ah... | 20:35 |
| SomeShmo | THanks.... | 20:35 |
| axisys | angelic: that is the default behavior | 20:35 |
| SomeShmo | irssi is safe? | 20:35 |
| axisys | SomeShmo: yes | 20:35 |
| BlouBlou | SomeShmo: it is, I'm using it right now | 20:35 |
| SomeShmo | Cool, thanks. | 20:35 |

| Manu_ | Hello Ubuntu irc people. Have you any note for audio problems with Natty Narwhal / Lenovo X60 / latest update audio problem? | 20:36 |
| Glycan | query/? | 20:36 |
| llutz | brian_of_tacoma: according http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-DeskJet_5550 your printer should work fine using hplip, do you have that installed? | 20:37 |
| brian_of_tacoma | no ... i have no GUI | 20:37 |
| Glycan | What's query? | 20:37 |
| angelic | axisys: thanks | 20:37 |
| axisys | angelic: np | 20:37 |
| brian_of_tacoma | its Ubuntu server | 20:37 |
| angelic | Captainkrtek: thanks as well. | 20:37 |
| BlouBlou | Manu_: works fine for me. Anyways, do you have alsa or pulseaudio (whatever ubuntu uses) correctly installed? | 20:37 |
| Glycan | Oh, I get it. | 20:37 |
| Glycan | Who wanted itm already? | 20:37 |
| pure-anon-monk | hey all | 20:38 |
| brian_of_tacoma | this is so crazy ... just want to plug in a printer ... do I need to install a GUI just for that? | 20:38 |
| abstrakt | how do I know what subnet to use? primarily I'm talking about e.g. 10.8.0.1 in this context http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/78-static-key-mini-howto.html there's 10.0.0.0 176.16.0.0 and 192.168.0.0 right, so if my LAN is on 176.16.0.0 then should I use that for my VPN config? does it matter? like, if my LAN is on 176 and I use this config http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/mi | 20:38 |
| abstrakt | scellaneous/78-static-key-mini-howto.html will there be conflicts? I mean, will I need to set up a bridge on my localhost as well so that i can bridge my 176 network over to 10.0.0.0 ? | 20:38 |
| FloodBot1 | abstrakt: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:38 |
| Manu_ | BlouBlou: Yes I have. Audio was working fine before the update. Maybe the problem is that I have the trial repository enabled? | 20:38 |
| abstrakt | basically: how do I choose what subnet/ip to use? | 20:38 |
| abstrakt | lol, to flood or to use enter, that is the question, apparently :P | 20:38 |
| frigo | quit | 20:39 |
| brian_of_tacoma | llutz: hplip requires a GUI to find my printer ... | 20:39 |
| BlouBlou | Manu_: I don't think so | 20:39 |
| llutz | brian_of_tacoma: hp-setup -i | 20:39 |
| aliisonline | My usb devices are configured in XORG.CONF to be used in at two different seats. but if my usb keyboard gets disconnected i can not use it in gnome gdm environment. though i can use only ALT+F# to switch tty# screens. i can get back my usb input device by logging off or restarting gdm or by restarting pc. i hope that there would be some command so i can use that to refresh my gdm usb devices. | 20:39 |
| Manu_ | BlouBlou: update installed alsa 1.0.24 today and I lost all audio playback. Recording is still working. | 20:39 |
| BlouBlou | Manu_: Then go to Synaptic >> Force the older version and reinstall it | 20:40 |

| BlouBlou | !repeat | aliisonline | 20:40 |
| ubottu | aliisonline: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 20:40 |
| brian_of_tacoma | TY! | 20:40 |
| Manu_ | BlouBlou: I tried that but for some reason the force version in the menu is grayed out. | 20:41 |
| llutz | brian_of_tacoma: you's start reading man-pages | 20:41 |
| abstrakt | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN#Setting up the Bridge | 20:41 |
| aliisonline | sorry actually this is my first time to an irc channel and i can't understand that how U all people r reading all this so quickly | 20:41 |
| brian_of_tacoma | ug! But I only speak English! | 20:41 |
| perlmonkey2 | Anyone running 11.04 on a new macbook pro? I was wondering how the trackpad worked. If two finger scrolling and two finger clicking worked. | 20:41 |
| abstrakt | they chose the 192.168 subnet ^ | 20:41 |
| stravant | How do I compile gtk+ code on natty? Even a hello-world application yields several linker errors including "/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_source_get_time'" | 20:41 |
| brian_of_tacoma | not man | 20:41 |
| BlouBlou | Manu_: did you try moving to pulseaudio? | 20:41 |
| abstrakt | they > http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/78-static-key-mini-howto.html chose the 10.0.0.0 subnet | 20:41 |
| aliisonline | so me thought that i shout ask quickly so my question will get prominent. Really sorry | 20:42 |
| abstrakt | but this choice is not actually explained | 20:42 |
| Manu_ | BlouBlou: *noob* No, I actually do not know how to swap the audio system in Ubuntu. | 20:42 |
| BlouBlou | !pulseaudio | 20:42 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 20:42 |
| BlouBlou | Manu_: ^ | 20:43 |
| Manu_ | Thanks. I will try that. | 20:43 |
| tensorpudding | perlmonkey2: two-finger scrolling is supported on other machines in Ubuntu, so I don't know why it wouldn't | 20:43 |
| lder | i upgrade to natty and my wifi didn't work until i did "modprobe b43"... i removed it from the blacklist but it still doesn't start automatically. how do i get the b43 module to run automatically? | 20:44 |
| Sub_Zero | How long does updating from 10.10 to 11.04 take? Figuring out what will be the best time to do this? | 20:44 |
| desg_xd | how do i force quit my firefox process? | 20:44 |
| BlouBlou | Sub_Zero: downloading = 15 - 30 mins | installing = 30-60 mins | 20:45 |
| Sub_Zero | desg_xd via terminal. killall firefox | 20:45 |
| llutz | desg_xd: pkill firefox | 20:45 |
| desg_xd | thanks | 20:45 |
| BlouBlou | llutz: isn't better killall firefox? | 20:45 |
| llutz | BlouBlou: why? | 20:45 |
| perlmonkey2 | tensorpudding: sweet. mac makes it easy to try out Ubuntu before I blow away OSX completely. I'll have to give it a go :) | 20:45 |
| BlouBlou | llutz: I don't know the difference between pkill and killall, meh | 20:46 |
| trism | stravant: use pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0; should get all the stuff you need | 20:46 |
| lder | i'll try /etc/modules | 20:46 |
| perlmonkey2 | tensorpudding: I didn't know about the two finger thing at all. I'll have to set that up on all my ubuntu machines. Sweet :) | 20:47 |
| tensorpudding | perlmonkey2: it might not be wise to completely remove OSX if you don't have a way to put it back | 20:47 |
| stravant | trism: I'm allready doing that> The compiler / linker wouldn't be able to find anything at all if I weren't. | 20:47 |
| tensorpudding | perlmonkey2: it's only certain hardware that supports it | 20:47 |
| tensorpudding | perlmonkey2: i think | 20:47 |
| darkorical | I have a folder that is shared via samba and has new folders created in it by other applications (mostly Transmission) is there a way to set it to force all new folders/files created in it to 0777 ? | 20:47 |
| tensorpudding | i know that windows supports it on some machines but not others | 20:47 |
| stravant | trism: I also tried pkg config in the command ling and it is giving the expected output (just included the libs here): -pthread -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lcairo -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 | 20:48 |
| brian_of_tacoma | Is there a guide on how to read man pages? They are so confusing and unhelpful for learning Linux | 20:48 |
| abstrakt | tensorpudding, "windows supports Mac on some machines" ... ? | 20:48 |
| llutz | darkorical: "create mask = 0777" in smb.conf | 20:48 |
| abstrakt | that, er... doesn't really make sense | 20:48 |
| kjxl9 | brian use man man | 20:49 |
| abstrakt | brian_of_tacoma, lol actually there is i'm sure | 20:49 |
| tensorpudding | abstrakt: no, two-finger scroll | 20:49 |
| darkorical | .. you mean man man brian....? | 20:49 |
| kjxl9 | the command is "man man" | 20:49 |
| kleopatra | Hello, i have a dvd in my drive, how can i find out whats its /dev-address? mount says sr0 is unknow | 20:49 |
| abstrakt | brian_of_tacoma, the real problem with man pages is that they are usually not logically organized and there's no table of contents | 20:49 |
| stravant | trism: Any idea what could be going on given the conditions? | 20:49 |
| llutz | darkorical: err* "create mask = 0000" in smb.conf | 20:49 |
| abstrakt | brian_of_tacoma, otherwise man pages are usually fairly useful, but there's also usually a limited amount of use, reading man pages is an art - really about the only thing you can do is just read more man pages | 20:49 |
| abstrakt | brian_of_tacoma, but you must also remember that man pages aren't generally a subsitute for Knowing What You're Doing (TM) | 20:50 |
| kjxl9 | how do i remove a user from terminal? | 20:50 |
| wmdvanzyl | man pages taught me massive amounts | 20:50 |
| abstrakt | kjxl9, man deluser | 20:50 |
| perlmonkey2 | tensorpudding: good point. I can just shrink it's partition to a 20GB or so. Keep it around in case I need it for some reason. Just hate dealing with dual boots and Ubuntu was so much more useful than OSX. Not that OSX is bad. Ubuntu (and even Fedora) were just better. | 20:50 |
| brian_of_tacoma | and they just start listing off facts and attributes about a command without general explanations for understanding | 20:50 |
| wmdvanzyl | had to learn linux at varsity for computer science degree | 20:50 |
| MagusOTB | So apparently when you ask banshee to import a library of roughly 100,000 songs, it crashes spectacularly and begins blasting metal. | 20:50 |
| wmdvanzyl | no help - u just had to get it done | 20:51 |
| abstrakt | brian_of_tacoma, right, that's what I just said | 20:51 |
| wmdvanzyl | man pages are useful | 20:51 |
| abstrakt | brian_of_tacoma, if you need a tutorial, then google | 20:51 |
| brian_of_tacoma | im a slow typer | 20:51 |
| trism | stravant: is it short? can you pastebin the source file? | 20:51 |
| abstrakt | brian_of_tacoma, sooo, practice and get faster? | 20:51 |
| llutz | brian_of_tacoma: they give you basic info, so you can use other sources to get a deeper understanding (google, whatever) | 20:51 |
| abstrakt | brian_of_tacoma, http://google.com/search?q=mavis+beacon | 20:51 |
| brian_of_tacoma | just began learning Dvorak | 20:51 |
| abstrakt | brian_of_tacoma, waste of time, but ok | 20:52 |

| pure-anon-monk | vlc ? | 20:52 |
| kleopatra | How can i find out what /dev my dvd-drive is? | 20:52 |
| abstrakt | brian_of_tacoma, the speed gains of dvorak aren't worth it compared to the hassle of living with DVORAK in a QWERTY world | 20:52 |
| MagusOTB | pure-anon-monk: No, like, with library management and searching and such | 20:52 |
| MagusOTB | like what banshee is supposed to do, but apparently can't. | 20:52 |
| abstrakt | kleopatra, it's likely to be /dev/cdrom | 20:52 |

| abstrakt | brian_of_tacoma, yes - it's not worth it | 20:52 |
| MagusOTB | brian_of_tacoma: Banshee? Yes. I just said it crashed and started blasing metal until I xkill'd it. | 20:53 |
| pure-anon-monk | not sure am just about to call my mate ill ask him if he answers | 20:53 |

| BlouBlou | aveesh: that's because it's plain text :) | 20:53 |

| perlmonkey2 | When creating the usb install disk on a Mac the Ubuntu instructions say to run this: hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o but the -o flag is invalid for that app. Anyone know what it is supposed to be? | 20:56 |
| stravant | That's just the way it does output, I'm sure it is expanding it or else it would simply stop at not finding gtk/gtk.h | 20:56 |

| BlouBlou | tase: ubuntu has currently problems with wifis n | 20:57 |
| tase | im switching from ubuntu classic and ubuntu unity wm too | 20:57 |
| BlouBlou | tase: I'm using an old wifi g because newest ones seems too fail | 20:57 |
| BlouBlou | s/too/to | 20:58 |
| tase | its got nothing to do with actually connecting | 20:58 |
| stravant | trism: Yup, it's not a problem with eclipse, exact same error from the command line | 20:58 |
| tase | I dont want to input my password every time I restart ubuntu | 20:58 |
| === Guest14492 is now known as ssfdre38 | ||
| tase | and before the restart all my windows had no title bar / decoration, just bare borderless panels | 20:58 |
| tase | and browsing on firefox on 11.04 is extremely slow, as opposed to a firefox 4.0 o windows 7 right next to it | 20:59 |
| BlouBlou | tase: I think you can't disable it, it's not wifi passwword, it's your password-unlocker password :P | 20:59 |

| BlouBlou | tase: try disabling wifi password and setting mac filter then | 20:59 |

The first cd gets recognized by when it asks for the second CD or DVD Ubuntu seems to not recognize that there is a CD in the drive... this happen on PlayOnLinux and Gametree (Cedega)... so am I in the right place or should I go talk to the wine guys? | 21:01 |
| abstrakt | BlouBlou, right, well at least that :) | 21:01 |
| brandon_ | Go talk to Wine. | 21:01 |

| trism | stravant: no, the so references functions from libgio-2.0.a but it isn't finding it for some reason | 21:16 |
| dusf | Dr_Willis: what would happen if i tried to reduce the size of my home parition while logged in? | 21:17 |

| tase | yea it's in LAN; it works now, didn't work from Ubuntu Classic desktop for some reason | 21:20 |
| Dr_Willis | tase: you could also try entering the share path directly in the filemanager address bar. ie: smb://servername/sharename or use the ip of the server instead of its name | 21:20 |
| Dr_Willis | tase: ive found windows fileshareing to get flakier every year. :) | 21:20 |

| S4RY | Alexrcol: Ubuntu -live CD might do it. | 21:24 |

| mitigating | ejay, recovery mode either boots you into a graphical live system or a shell that you can use tools to fix your system | 21:43 |
| bodhizazen | froq, but you can also use scp and sshfs | 21:43 |

| Mathuin | Will the command "git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-natty.git source" download the source to the kernel used in 11.04 ? Is the same source used for 32bit and 64bit? If so, how does one toggle which is built? | 21:49 |

| ejay | dasei: what does the du-sh command do in recovery mode | 21:50 |
| bodhizazen | FordPrefect, LOL =) | 21:50 |
| DasEi | Mathuin: no and no, second | 21:50 |
| Mathuin | DasEi: no it won't download the source, or no it's not the same for 32 and 64? | 21:50 |
| ejay | DasEi: what does the du-sh command do in recovery mode? | 21:51 |
| nibbler_ | ejay, du -sh just tells how much diskspace a file/folder occupies | 21:51 |
| ejay | is there a way to resize the ubuntu partition in win xp (easeus doesnt work for some reason)? | 21:51 |

| D3luSi0n4L | anyone have a minute Im just having trouble on figuring out what to type into the fixparts program | 21:54 |
| DasEi | Mathuin: for a kernel source you either d/l it manually or put in a repo (which might be git). 32 and 64 provide diffrent kernels, what is your aim ? using latest kernel ? | 21:54 |
| ejay | DasEi: when i boot 11.04 from a livecd, all the pixels are messed up | 21:54 |
| allu2 | DasEi: Live cd isn't in windows :P | 21:55 |
| D3luSi0n4L | DasEi: do you mind if i pm you, i just need help with a really quick issue | 21:55 |
| ejay | DasEi: is there a way to downgrade ubuntu without losing files? | 21:55 |
| Mathuin | DasEi: my aim is to re-enable OSS support for /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp on 32-bit desktop. | 21:55 |
| allu2 | ejay: downgrading isn't supported as far as i know | 21:55 |
| DasEi | D3luSi0n4L: ask here, as I'm busy | 21:55 |
| D3luSi0n4L | Ok can you check this - I am using this tutorial for a program called "FixParts" it removes stray GPT partition table data | 21:56 |
| DasEi | ejay: on a system that otherwise runs ubuntu from harddrive ? use another live cd | 21:56 |
| D3luSi0n4L | when you open it it prompts you for a device filename | 21:56 |
| D3luSi0n4L | heres the tutorial - http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/ | 21:57 |
| D3luSi0n4L | under Starting FixParts it has instructiosn but anything I try is not working | 21:57 |
| DasEi | ejay: downgrading isn't possible, got to backup an reinstall, but can have a list of installed packages | 21:57 |
| D3luSi0n4L | maybe you can take a look and see if you have input - i'm using a single harddrive, on a laptop with WIndows 7 64bit | 21:57 |
| DasEi | D3luSi0n4L: you want to convert from gpt to mbr ? | 21:59 |
| ejay | DasEi: so if i downgrade ubuntu to 10.10 from 11.04 will windows still be able to boot | 21:59 |
| D3luSi0n4L | DasEi: i found out what to type - "0:" but it didnt bring up any GPT data, or atleast It didnt prompt me as it said it would. | 22:00 |
| D3luSi0n4L | DasEi: I'm trying to dualboot windows 7 & ubuntu | 22:00 |
| DasEi | ejay: you can't downgrade, you can install 10.10, and commonly grubs detects windows, to be safe, backup mbr | 22:00 |

| DasEi | ejay: should work | 22:01 |

| D3luSi0n4L | can i run bootinfoscrip on windows? | 22:02 |
| allu2 | its eating all CPU | 22:03 |
| D3luSi0n4L | it will tell me if there is GPT data | 22:03 |
| ejay | DasEi: would wubi be able to change the partitions? | 22:03 |
| DasEi | D3luSi0n4L: so that's fine just for standard mbr installation, to get rid of any gpt-relicts, can simply dd the first sectors and then format, install win, install ubuntu | 22:03 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ehh reinstallling Windows is kind of a huge pain for me | 22:04 |
| D3luSi0n4L | how can i check for these issues - | 22:04 |
| freezway | does the new xubuntu also come with unity? | 22:04 |
| D3luSi0n4L | 1. mix of GPT and MBR partition table - this confuses ubiquity 2. leftover fakeraid metadata or unsupported raid option | 22:04 |
| DasEi | ejay: yes and no, it would put an image in the space you will first have to clean then | 22:04 |

| ejay | DasEi: so, is the messed up pixels in 11.04 common? | 22:08 |
| Mathuin | DasEi: thanks for the pointer to the PPA. Guess #ubuntu+1 is talking about oneiric now. :-) | 22:08 |

| crankharder | so you know when you ssh into a server it displays a bunch of info... like # of packges needing to be updated etc... mine stopped updating itself. How do I fix that? | 22:09 |

| robin0800 | Mathuin, no it still redirects here | 22:10 |
| Mathuin | robin0800: Ah, thanks. I see -header and -image in the PPA, no -source. Hopefully git will Do The Right Thing this time. | 22:10 |
| DasEi | Mathuin: why do you need the source ? compile with special options ? | 22:11 |
| crankharder | actually, it' duplicated the MOTD and the info is out of date: http://pastebin.com/hwq3bxDQ | 22:11 |
| ejay | DasEi: when i boot safemode the same thing happens, only unity 2d and ubuntu classic (no effects) works | 22:11 |
| Mathuin | DasEi: yes. I intend to re-enable OSS so I can use /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer again. | 22:11 |
| DasEi | Mathuin: that should be possible still, natty ? | 22:12 |

| BufferUnderpants | Ah, I just found out that you can drag the damn thing with your mouse. Well, I didn't expect that, but it makes the launcher much more bearable | 22:27 |
| edbian | tripelb: The free command tells you how much of memory has usable stuff in it. The gnome system monitor tells you how much ram and stuff that the kernel and applications absouletly need stored. The difference is cache.

| tripelb | to (finally) learn the command to look through all the directories in the filesystem (usr? bin? all of them?) to see if any is called pulseaudio* but I dont know how) tripelb takes a breath now. | 22:32 |
| tzanger | good evening... having a bit of trouble getting grub-install to recognize the root on software raid (md0) | 22:32 |
| Gerowen | Question, I'm trying to get used to Unity, but I'm having a few issues. I'm using an ATI Radeon 3100 HD graphics card with 256 MB of video memory, but Unity is very sluggish. Normal use is fine, but if I try to drag a movie around while it's playing, or if I try to play 3-d games in windowed mode, I take serious framerate hits. Any suggestions? | 22:32 |
| Baltazaar | ok... had some trouble with the tracking device on earlier releases... | 22:32 |
| edbian | tripelb: Just type pulse[tab][tab] it will autocomplete by looking in those directories automatically | 22:33 |
| tzanger | it's booted, / is on /dev/md0 (as seen with mount output), but grub-install /dev/sda is complaining that it can't find a physical device for md0 | 22:33 |
| evon | If i have a program in a specific directory I want to run, what is the command I have to put into the startup serttings? I tried "/usr/lib/vino ./vino-server" but that does not work | 22:33 |
| edbian | tripelb: Then look it up in synaptic if you need to install it (it's not install I don't think) | 22:33 |
| edbian | evon: It's the same command that you would type at the terminal. /usr/lib/vino/vino-server | 22:34 |
| brad[] | Hi all. Can't find a straight answer on this anywhere - will release engineering for GNOME be discontinued in future releases of Ubuntu proper, or spun off into a GUbuntu variant, or the like? Or will it continue to be maintained and available? | 22:34 |

| jiffe99 | so I'm reading the notes for the ubuntu professional course | 22:42 |
| jiffe99 | From 1st October 2010, this course will no longer lead to the LPI 101, 102 or Ubuntu 199 exams. The Ubuntu Professional course replaces the Ubuntu Certified Professional certification course and all related exams. | 22:42 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 199 in Baz (deprecated) ""baz export" doesn't add to the revision library" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/199 | 22:42 |
| FaceFurFiend | Has there ever been a fix to the "no audio from headphone jack" issue with a gateway M-series laptop?? | 22:43 |
| jiffe99 | I don't see any other courses related to this cert, does that mean there's no longer training for this cert? | 22:43 |
| jiffe99 | the only other way I can interpret that is that the description was copied over from the old 'Ubuntu Certified Professional certification course' and the note was not removed | 22:44 |

| anonissimus | what is the suggested terminal in a browser package these days? been looking at anyterm but it won't compile | 23:14 |
| FaceFurFiend | edbian: thanks I will read it, try it and get back to ya | 23:14 |
| edbian | stealth-: It will take a long time. You need to move sda2 over to the right. Then you can grow sda1 | 23:14 |
| edbian | FaceFurFiend: Good luck | 23:15 |
| S4RY | linuxtech: what were you trying to do exactly. | 23:15 |
| edbian | stealth-: what are sda5 and 6? /home and / ? | 23:15 |
| stealth- | edbian: Yeah, that's what I was thinking. How can I move the parition over to the right though? I'm not seeing an option in Gparted for it. Any idea? | 23:15 |
| stealth- | edbian: Yes. | 23:15 |
| stealth- | stealth-: Er, other way around. / and /home/ | 23:15 |
| stealth- | edbian: ^ | 23:16 |
| edbian | stealth-: You resize / move it. Don't change the size. Just change the preceeding and following sizes | 23:16 |

| ubottu | froq: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 23:17 |
| stealth- | edbian: And yeah, it's easier for when I install every LTS, then I don't loose my /home/ folder stuff. :) | 23:17 |
| edbian | stealth-: yes of course :D | 23:17 |
| FaceFurFiend | edbian: Issue 1: I can not seem to double-click on my sound icon... it does nothing, but I can bring up the sound preferences but nothing is muted | 23:17 |
| stealth- | edbian: Yup, makes perfect sense. Thanks again ;) | 23:17 |
| edbian | FaceFurFiend: Double clicking is possible in every older version of Ubuntu. If you can make sure everything is unmuted I'm sure that's equivalent. The how-to is apparently not up to date | 23:18 |
| edbian | stealth-: sure no problem | 23:18 |

| g0ldennugget | i just upgraded from 10 to version 11 of ubuntu (this is a desktop) and now I have this weird dock thing on the left side of my screen. how do i convert back to normal? | 23:47 |
| escott | !classic | g0ldennugget | 23:47 |
| ubottu | g0ldennugget: 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. | 23:47 |
| g0ldennugget | great | 23:48 |
| thedragon4453 | alrighty, here goes. I ran an update on 10.04 and now it won't boot into x. It get's to the splash screen and just hangs on "Loading..." if i ctrl-alt-f1/f2/f3 around I can eventually find a screen that says something like /dev/disk/by-uuid/f14b<etc> doesn't exist. | 23:48 |
| g0ldennugget | ubottu: what's good about Unity? | 23:48 |

| Income | to open x-trash files? | 23:52 |
| escott | Income, how did you make these backups/how did you delete the files you wanted | 23:52 |
| FuzzyNuts | Hey guys | 23:52 |
| Income | escott, i really dont know, in place of my regular document is a backup/xtrash file | 23:52 |
| Income | i didnt delete it, thats for sure | 23:53 |
| akour | hmm | 23:53 |
| snii | escott: I created another user with a password, but not for root/ubuntu | 23:53 |
| escott | Income, what application | 23:53 |
| snii | (It's on xubuntu btw.) | 23:53 |
| Income | escott what do you mean by that | 23:53 |
| escott | snii, then you will need to either boot with a live cd and use chroot to gain root access and restore your sudoers file or boot to single user mode | 23:53 |
| escott | Income, what kind of files are these? | 23:53 |
| Income | 23:54 | |
| Income | escott they are pdf | 23:54 |
| escott | Income, a couple possibilities (I'm not sure what a backup/xtrash file is) but you could rename them to something.pdf and see if they are legible as pdfs | 23:55 |
| kingofswords | hi how do i set the brightness lower when ubuntu boots? | 23:55 |
| snii | escott: Does booting into single user mode also require a livecd? | 23:55 |
| escott | if these are downloaded from somewhere they may also be in your /tmp or in your ~/Downloads | 23:55 |
| escott | snii, no but you won't have web access or gui the way you do with livecd | 23:56 |
| akour | so whats the coolest IRC client for ubuntu | 23:56 |

| akour | @kingofswords thats what im using right now . thanks. | 23:58 |
| snii | escott: The thing is, the machine is booting and running xubuntu from a USB stick, and I have only 2 ports and no cdrom, so I cannot boot from another livecd/usb. I can start the system and get logged in, but sudo doesn't work... Only having console is no problem if I can somehow fix the problem through it. | 23:58 |
| escott | thedragon4453, boot the live cd and check what ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid says and verify that your grub.cfg and /etc/fstab on the ubuntu system are correct | 23:58 |
| akour | WOW , you guys are awesome | 23:58 |
| kingofswords | gnomexchat not so good thou | 23:58 |
| Pelo | DasEi, number of problems, evolution unusable , frozen screen when coming back from screen off etc | 23:59 |
