[00:00] spectre51_: You're welcome. [00:00] chepoll, it really doesn't break down, After rebooting xev reports all the keys as working but prefs keyboard is overwriting some of them. [00:00] caudex: what is prefs keyboard? [00:00] chepoll, yes and the symptom is that prefs keyboard is not working to reset all options to default. [00:01] hey how can i install some media player on my backtrack 4 ? [00:01] root__: We don't support backtrack here. Please use their channel instead: #backtrack-linux [00:01] caudex: yeah yeah, you said that. but did it work before you added any changes to your alt-key is the question [00:01] root__: plus IRCing as root is a really BAD idea [00:01] chepoll, menu at top of desktop > System > Preferences > Keyboard- === giannis__ is now known as gannis__ [00:01] caudex: yeah yeah, you said that. but did it work before you added any changes with your alt-key is the question [00:02] Pici: can I PM you please dude :) [00:02] !guidelines | xxen0nxx [00:02] xxen0nxx: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [00:02] Hey, anyone having problems with skype opening up in 11.04?

I don't use gnome much so I am somewhat troubled [00:08] chepoll, I'm not married to gnome. Can i use a different gui on meerkat? [00:09] caudex: there is an xorg.conf file that stores these settings, there is .xmodmaprc and .xinitrc and then there is console-setup [00:09] how douse one make thare own IRC server in ubuntu? [00:09] caudex: I'll first see why it doesn't reset [00:09] chepoll, okay thanks [00:10] hi all [00:10] hi [00:10] xxen0nxx: You'd need to setup one of the many ircd packages that are in the repositories. Many of them are non-trivial to setup though.

I just saw something for this... one moment. [00:17] what does dhclient mean? [00:17] 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. [00:18] santina check fstab [00:18] 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) [00:19] use sudo nano /etc/fstab [00:19] ActionParsnip, i wish i knew how :P [00:19] 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] ActionParsnip i imagine you could make it take action based on response as well [00:19] mikeyfbi: research into bash, its very powerful [00:19] mikeyfbi ^ [00:19] terry, thank you [00:19] i need help with wubi and ubuntu 11.04 [00:19] no problem [00:19] cjaredrun: sure, why not :D [00:19] terry, I've found a line about sdb1 in fstab [00:20] any one? i am asking because my manager didn't work. i didn't get any ip from the dhcp, when i did that every thing is working....can any one tell me what does it do? and will it work on restart now?

You can do that by typing it in a terminal [00:21] hi,i would to chown /var/www from root to user, would be sudo chown -R myusername.myusername /var/www ? [00:21] ActionParsnip, i'll look at that, thanks! [00:21] obert-: change the . between the usernames to a colon [00:21] ok [00:22] then it would be correct to do that or isnt common setup?

Because if what you saw in gconf's kbd was really empty, then it means keyborad preferebces is getting those options from somewhere else.

[00:55] I think I need help [00:55] Chipzzz sure...i know...i will open a port for the ssh connection..not a problem...80 is for http, not ssh [00:55] how do I configure a channel? [00:55] chepoll, okay the same popup comes up as does from the top menu [00:55] like, configure the port and channel? [00:56] ErezCohen: you have to forward port 22 and then you should be able to ssh your server through the internet [00:56] SSH, port 22. [00:56] so if i remap alt-f1 in unity to something else the launcher still activates and the action occurs. [00:56] 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] this expected behavior? [00:56] What is a load average, and what is a normal one? [00:56] caudex: okay then lets manually edit those files [00:56] but can i write something like this in the teminal and it will work: "ssh user@server" ???

That way I can compile alsa from source and re-integrate my card with firmware? [00:58] can someone help? I cant get xorg to load on boot, but it boots from tty with startx [00:58] x_, so far this works just testing to change colors [00:58] chepoll, where are those files? [00:58] ErezCohen: -l is for giving login name, if you don't set it, ssh will use your current username which is sometimes desirable and sometimes not :) [00:58] in natty, everything loads fine, but unity does not show up after i boot. my boot mode is ubuntu and not classic or any other option. in appearance settings theres no options for compiz/desktop effects. any idea how i can get it enabled? gfx card is nvidia geforce 8800gtx [00:59] how do I connect to a channel?

Question: I Just bought a new laptop with Windows7 preinstalled (as it seems), obviously I want to install ubuntu and use the Windows7 running on a Virtual Machine.

And sometimes, it doesn't block out my password. I would have to restart my whole system. Any suggestions?

[02:03] I do manually type it in, and how can I check that it's not root [02:03] soreau thankyou, installing the b43 instead of STA drivers seemed to have remedied the issue [02:03] Un-Dead: cool [02:04] ubuntuguy: well you'll know that it's root because it will say it [02:04] Well, it shows my username, but on longer does it show my profile pic. [02:05] anybody know a way to migrate AWAY from an encrypted home? [02:06] Hi, Where's the correct place to report issues with the official ubuntu package servers? [02:06] ubuntuguy: I dunno, i'd check the login preferences as a start [02:06] Alright, I'll check it out [02:08] Where is login preferences? [02:08] System>Administration [02:09] anyone been able to change the theme of gdm in natty? [02:09] wow, IRC using empathy... that's new to me... well empathy is new too [02:10] nobody can run natty. [02:10] Can't find it [02:10] configuration is another isue [02:10] I'm running natty... [02:10] lol [02:10] had to get rid of unity though [02:10] B0BBY: works fine here on 2 systems [02:10] hehe, unity is the major culprit. [02:10] ubuntuguy: it should be under preferences or administration [02:10] same here ActionParsnip [02:10] i didn't like it for the desktop (prob just not use to it) [02:10] 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] B0BBY: log in to gnome classic then... [02:11] it's good on my wife's netbook though... perfect interface [02:11] I'm using unity [02:11] cube and wobbly windows and all [02:11] B0BBY, this is not the channel for that, choose classic [02:11] ActionParsnip: was using it for netbook. and unity basically took up space on a limited screen. [02:11] classic was giving blank screen. [02:11] sudo ./getshitdone [02:11] flowbee: in |/.bashrc add the line: export PATH=$PATH:~/bin [02:11] no menus, no nothing, alt-f2 doing nothing. [02:11] flowbee: ~/.bashrc [02:12] ActionParsnip, thats already there [02:12] bobby did u do an upgrade? [02:12] or fresh install [02:12] hi all ...anyone have a software preference for blogging in ubuntu, and why? [02:12] flowbee: then run: source ~/.bashrc [02:12] FisherP: did upgrade from 10.04, to 10.10 then 11.04 [02:12] flowbee: to add the new settings [02:12] Chuchulain, not the correct channe [02:12] rsync for teh w1nz. [02:13] Chuchulain, #ubuntu-offtopic [02:13] yeah when i upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 it did horrible things to both classic and std interface [02:13] just backed home and reinstalled [02:13] thats already in the path for me as a user; i think its not finding the command when sudo is run [02:13] nit-wit, ne idea what is...? it's ubuntu specific/ [02:13] ? [02:13] i pretty much deleted all the gnome and gtk settigns [02:13] and started again [02:13] works ok now [02:13] Chuchulain, this is the Natty channel not linux [02:13] Excuse me folks, I can't remember does how do you check what type of video card you have? [02:13] (touch wood) [02:13] 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] flowbee: it's probably not in root's path [02:13] FisherP: they said it would autohide in 11.04 but it NEVER loaded. [02:13] lol [02:14] !poll | Chuchulain nit-wit [02:14] Chuchulain nit-wit: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:14] nit-wit, k, so where is the general ubuntu channel now? [02:14] flowbee: you should adjust the permissions of it so that you can execute it [02:14] bobby very odd, my wife's upgraded just fine [02:14] i like men [02:14] B0BBY: there are guides to make it hide, log in to gnome classic and unity dosn't load [02:14] bobby it was running 10.10 [02:14] xangua, point it at the correct user [02:14] josuf107, i can execute it but it requires root for some stuff with networking it does [02:14] ActionParsnip: as I was mentioning earlier classes wouldn't load anything. blank screen. couldn't alt-f2. [02:15] Damnit my buddy put that I loved men on here. [02:15] ActionParsnip: *classic [02:15] bobby did u set it up to auto login? [02:15] 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] thanks in advance! [02:15] FisherP: nah. I don't really setup auto login. [02:15] Sorry does anyone remember how to check and see what video card I have? [02:15] hexdump_: lspci [02:16] flowbee: why keep it in your home directory then? [02:16] FisherP: 10.04 wokrs. so no need to really keep upgrading. [02:16] flowbee: you can always sudo /home/your_name/bin/script.sh [02:16] so put it to that. [02:16] 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] bobby yeah, did u re-install? to 10.04? [02:16] josuf107, i know i want to run it from any dir [02:17] newbieneedshelp: ask them to add randr support ;] [02:17] oshix: is it a known issue? that would be a bummer [02:17] FisherP: lol had to reinstall. [02:17] FisherP: 'coz officially downgrading is not supported. [02:17] newbieneedshelp: log into gnome classic, may help [02:17] bobby thot so... and 10.04 doesn't use unity at all right? just classic... [02:18] bobby that's why my wife's upgrade went smoothly.. she was already running unity [02:18] 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] FisherP: it has a netbook interface and classes. the netbook interface is like old look. but it works great. [02:18] FisherP: it has the on desktop application browser thing.... [02:19] how can I stop bootchart from running at startup if this fails http://blog.learnadmin.com/ and without doing a chmod -x ? [02:19] 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] ActionParsnip: Hi, I'm not really sure what that mean; does that mean not using the new Unity UI? [02:20] bobby did u try a live usb of 11.04? [02:20] 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 [02:21] flowbee: sudo runs setuid, so it's effectively root [02:21] ubuntuguy i whould Boot into recovery mode (from the Grub prompt at the very start of booting), and then run "passwd " .. that should set a new password. [02:21] newbieneedshelp: its worth it, just tto test. I've heard people having issue with dual monitor and unity [02:21] flowbee: it's probably best to just put the script in /bin [02:21] FisherP: nah, is it really nice? is that why you ask? [02:22] ActionParsnip: can you point to an article explaining how to go about it? [02:22] FisherP: I just figured 10.04 was working nice, why bother. [02:22] I really am a newb, sorry :) [02:22] flowbee: what you could do is alter your script to raise its permissions on its own [02:22] !classic | newbieneedshelp [02:22] 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] I like 11.4 [02:23] think it better then 10.4 [02:23] Thank you! [02:23] well, I guess I'll try that, so I'll need to log out, [02:23] like that it gets out of my way [02:23] 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] maybe I'll be back later, thanks! [02:23] what's a virtual drive emulator for ubuntu? [02:24] i have a .bin file i'd like to run [02:24] 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] can anyone point me toward a general ubuntu channel, specifically to garner opinions about software choices? [02:24] FisherP: I don't think you can use ubuntu/linux without being a power user...lol [02:25] Nemosis: you can talk about it in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:25] quackaduck: my wife, mum, and sister all use k/ubuntu and love it.... (i'm tech support) [02:25] quackaduck: and none of them are power users [02:25] :D [02:25] FisherP: I like the 10.04 way of doing it. [02:25] has there ever been an ubuntu release that didn't break something [02:26] bobby cool [02:26] wireless no work with 11.04 [02:26] FisherP: it's nice to see the app have it's own icon instead of unity trying to do windows 7 things. [02:26] renegaid: anecdotal experience points to yes [02:26] renegaid, u using network manager? [02:26] renegaid: it does, but what hardware do u have? [02:26] 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] is there a drive emulator that can be used in linux? [02:26] cypha: drive emulator? [02:26] i'd like to run a .bin file [02:26] «¤‹¤«¤‹¤«¤‹¤ [02:26] broadcom wireless does not work [02:26] B0BBY, or do i extract a .bin file? [02:26] cypha: it's a cd image? [02:26] i was expecting an install [02:27] renegaid: what were you using before, driver-wise? [02:27] i'm not sure [02:27] read all sorts of work arounds online [02:27] it's just a .bin [02:27] renegaid, are you using network manager? [02:27] 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] B0BBY: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/motodevstudio/download/ [02:27] i just installed ubuntu [02:27] renegaid, uve used ubuntu before? [02:27] B0BBY, how do i do that? [02:28] renegaid congrats!!! [02:28] 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] cypha: that's a windows installer? [02:28] well about the kde interface, I still reckon it and gnome (with compoziting) make windows look way old school, even win7 [02:28] not on this laptop but from what i read wirless works with 10.10 but 11.04 breaks it [02:28] B0BBY, the Linux download link [02:28] for 32bit [02:28] renegaid, does the card show up in network manager? [02:28] cypha: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-unix-command-run-execute-bin-files-in-linux/ [02:29] cypha: might be just a executable. [02:29] chmod a+x file; then ./file. [02:29] it shows up in driver list but fails to enable [02:29] why isn't it double clickable!? [02:29] 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] hi all [02:29] cypha: if it's not +x permitted, it might not be double clickable. [02:29] When I start bind9 , there is msg "Domain service name [fail]" what's wrong? [02:29] cypha: go to gnome-terminal, then type in chmod a+x filename [02:29] flowbee: ah you know you should export PATH=$PATH:/home/whoareyou/bin [02:30] 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] FisherP: the win 7 I really really like. the kde I like too. I like eyecandy [02:30] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743723 [02:30] someone can help me to how to use lynx link chinese websit [02:30] basically the same problem [02:30] flowbee: give that a try. i did some experiments on arch and was able to sudo run a script with a relative dir in my path and an absolute [02:30] is there any reason natty on a spare partition wouldn't be as stable as natty on a main partition [02:30] cypha: so that fix it? [02:31] quackaduck: my mum used to have me re-install windows every year or so 'cause viruses or some such thing.. i've put kubuntu 9.04 on her machine, haven't had to touch it since [02:31] josuf107, i wrote a custom alias for it and it works now [02:31] * edwardthefma is trying to decide on with type of destop effects he wants any 1 got any good sugestions :) [02:31] !ch | kevinyoung [02:31] kevinyoung: Das Schweizer Team finden sie unter #ubuntu-ch, deutschsprachigen Support bekommen sie aber in #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de oder #edubuntu-de. Aus regionalen Gründen ist im Schweizer Channel nur Englisch erlaubt. Geben sie einfach /join #ubuntu-at ein! Danke für ihr Verständnis. [02:31] FisherP: Yeah, that's true. Until ubuntu does an update and breaks something lol. [02:31] FisherP: lol, that's where you create a system image, and teach them how to restore. [02:31] :D [02:31] FisherP: but if they like kubuntu,that's solving the windows thing. [02:31] gtg thanks for the chat [02:32] yah, kde is nice, but it's laggy [02:32] have ufn [02:32] see ya [02:32] *fun [02:32] causes issues with 3D games like minecraft [02:32] ubuntu 11.04 is also laggy to me [02:32] have to keep switching compositing off [02:32] no where as smooth as win 7 [02:32] Gnome Classic didn't help :\ still get a truncated screen [02:32] flowbee: nice work. still, it's interesting [02:33] FisherP: I run minecraft completely fine with compositing, though my system overheats sometimes and reach 100 degrees [02:33] no dual monitor is a real blow :/ might force me to go back to Vista [02:33] that would be tragic [02:33] B0BBY, i've got a couple stupid questions too [02:33] cypha: shoot. [02:33] quackaduck: ouch.. [02:33] B0BBY, i can't get the terminal to go to the directory the downloaded file is in [02:33] newbieneedshelp: did you not set up a dual boot system [02:33] rndc 127.0.0.1#953 = connection refused [02:33] cypha: do you know what folder it's in? [02:33] cypha: if you used firefox, it should be in ~/Downloads/ [02:33] at the terminal prompt, I type "dir" and i see: [02:33] Desktop Downloads examples.desktop Pictures Templates [02:33] Documents Dropbox Music Public Videos [02:34] so i type "cd downloads" [02:34] cypha: so type in: cd Downloads [02:34] but it says directory doesn't exist [02:34] OH YEAH [02:34] it's case sensitive [02:34] cypha, it is case sensitive [02:34] forgot about that [02:34] thanks [02:34] 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] :) [02:34] once you type Dow, you can hit tab it will auto comp. [02:34] cypha, you can make it not case sensitive with the following addition to your bashrc shopt -s cdspell [02:34] 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] same with filename. [02:35] cypha, that way you can type cd down[TAB] and it will correct it to Downloads [02:35] B0BBY, how can I autocomplete the filename? [02:35] 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] type in a few letters then press tab [02:35] the tab key [02:35] didn't work [02:35] oh [02:35] did now [02:35] you gotta type in enough for it to be able to complete it. [02:35] I didn't realize it was simply a big no-no with nvidia drivers :\ [02:35] otherwise you press twice and it gives you the options it can use. [02:36] nvidia drivers tend to be better in linux than the ATI ones. [02:36] so I hear. I use nvidia. [02:37] 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] escott, B0BBY, thanks for the help [02:37] cool, you get it running? [02:38] hi [02:39] BOBBY: were you talking to me or to Cypha? if to me than yeah, it works but isn't helpful :) [02:39] is there a way to post install windows on a ubuntu based box without loosing ubuntu?

[02:45] Hey all, i hope anyone could assist ... 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] Anyone else have experienced this perhaps? [02:45] ok.. how come when I hit "super" and enter filemanager or nautilus nothing shows? [02:46] 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] oh well, I guess I'll just keep googling it up, at least I know how to restore the defaults now [02:46] Hey' I am having a problem with installing Ubuntu on a Dell laptop : http://i54.tinypic.com/2hn1gyc.jpg [02:46] 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. [02:48] Rehan: you'll need to add entries in the grub2 config files, then run: sudo update-grub [02:48] 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] What does Ubuntu Firefox Modifications do?

[02:49] ActionParsnip: I want grub2 to probe for new OS's on its own [02:49] Rehan: maybe: sudo apt-get install os-prober; sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub [02:50] Rehan, i'm not sure that you can do what you want [02:50] 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] 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] 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] 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] Rehan, grub2 would need to have a usb driver and initialize that usb system, scan for devices, etc... [02:50] unintstalling the proprietary driver seems to have no effect on this [02:50] I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04. I noticed that the X-windows select-and-paste no longer works. Has anyone else noticed this? [02:51] escott: initialize the usb system? Doesn't it already do that if i'm booting from the USB and seeing grub? === tase is now known as Tase [02:52] Rehan, i thought you were booting from hard drive... you are booting from usb and want to boot the hard drive? [02:52] 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] bigmack83: What video card do you have? [02:53] Rehan, have you added entries to grub.conf? [02:53] nvidia geforce 8800 gtx [02:53] newbieneedshelp: but i won't urge for the nvidia-glx , we might find another method as a workaround. [02:53] 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] newbieneedshelp: ah , there is a differ version for glx. [02:53] bigmack83: Have you installed the nvidia driver for it? Or are you content in using the OpenSource one? [02:54] Rehan, you should just be able to copy the grub.cfg entries to your usb sticks grub.cfg [02:54] there is 2 proprietary options and on foss verison. i tried the recommended proprietary one. [02:54] escott: the grub.cfg entries from which computer? [02:54] i dont really care which version as long as it works and it will let me run desktop effects [02:54] bigmack83: Ok then, you probably need to run nvidia-settings [02:55] 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] S4RY: I apologize I'm not sure I'm following :( [02:55] its uninstalled right now. i opened up the settings panel from the admin menu [02:55] 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] 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 [02:56] maybe I should read this article : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaMultiMonitors [02:56] without me logging in ever before to your system and doing anything with update-grub [02:56] 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] newbieneedshelp: scratch that nvidia-glx method. [02:56] 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] this happened only after i got the driver, but now happend whether its installed or not [02:57] usr13, ok ill reinstall the driver and try that and look to see if it made one. uno momento [02:57] newbieneedshelp: that what i was looking for , an Ubuntu documentations , yes . [02:58] 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] S4RY: It looks like I already tried most of the things the article suggests but still I'll try to follow their instructions and see if I get any different results [02:58] usr13, actuall since i installed natty, unity and effects have not worked for me yet. [02:58] Thanks for all the help so far!

I noticed that the X-windows select-and-paste no longer works. Has anyone else noticed this?

[03:06] how come my panel applets *usually* load funky the first time i login after boot, but all I have to do to fix them is log out and log back in [03:06] I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04. I noticed that the X-windows select-and-paste no longer works. Has anyone else noticed this? [03:06] like, I run a 9x9 desktop grid, 90-99% of the time, on first login after boot, my desktop switcher panel applet is totally garbled, half cut off and just unusable... all I have to do to fix it is simply log out and log back in [03:07] gantrixx, upgraded or did a wipe and a clean install? [03:07] Tweaky: hi , have you tried one of the boot parameter options. [03:07] maybe it doesn't matter these days, i'm always paranoid about just doing a clean install [03:07] qin, ^ any ideas on that?

Tweaky [03:08] When I go to burn a disc with Brasero, it immediately ejects the disc and gives me "GStreamer encountered a general stream error."

[03:25] i'm gonna try libk3b6-extracodecs...it's just obnoxious that I obviously have libraries that will decode, encode, burn, /whatever/ MP3, but k3b won't do it without being told to. #opensourcefail [03:25] kneaux, more like #closedsourcefail [03:25] FyreFoX, it may not stick on logout unfortunately but at least it is working. the simplest solution may be to add this to your gnome-session [03:26] "all my open source libs work, my closed source lib is broken, therefor open source = fail" [03:26] gotta love that kind of logic [03:26] !wireless > rifqi [03:26] FyreFoX, or unity-session... not sure what it is called now === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:26] Is there a place online to download a deb package build of ardour with vst support?

[03:29] abstrakt: thanks [03:29] how do you rename files recursively? Please SIMPLE solutions only. [03:30] usr13, i have restricted-extras. that's not the issue. k3b doesn't ship being able to read .mp3. [03:30] sje, what do you mean by that [03:30] sje, with... rename [03:30] sje, man rename [03:30] somebody helpeee meeeee [03:30] kneaux: Thats not ture [03:30] i mean, if one thing supports burning mp3 on my system, there's no good reason another thing shouldn't [03:30] Stryker, thanks for the help. I switched the software sources under other software to canada server. Works good now. Thanks a lot. It's weird, just yesterday I l.. ooked at lloyd Bridges yesterday on the internet about his role in airplane. [03:31] abstrakt: rename doesn't have a recursive option [03:31] okay, well, maybe not for you, but it is for me, being as how i just installed k3b, and when i tried, it didn't let me. [03:31] escott: I want to change all file names in a tree to lowercase [03:31] sje, find .... -exec rename .... [03:31] sje, find is your friend :) === stephen is now known as Guest84518 [03:31] abstrakt: so I go to the directory, and do [03:31] 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] your very welcome VE2EBP [03:32] find . -exec rename (etc) [03:32] sje, probably useful to read up on find -exec [03:32] alguieeeeee [03:32] 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] sje, im not sure that is going to qualify as simple, but its doable with a combination of find, xargs, and sed [03:33] Yeah, that isn't simple [03:33] blah, no xargs [03:33] find -exec [03:33] why doesn't it have a reursive option? ugg [03:33] xargs kinda sucks [03:33] sje, so modify it to have a recursive option [03:33] 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] sje, it is, after all, open source, you can simply contribute a patch to the open source community [03:33] hey [03:33] S4RY: hmm i had no luck but it will start up in safe graphics mode although the resolution is bad [03:33] sje, did you see my message? [03:33] abstrakt: I don't know how to program [03:34] sje, well, i know people who taught themselves to program when they were 35 [03:34] hey what distro do i use for this ? http://www.google.com/products/catalog?client=ubuntu&channel=cs&q=toshiba+satellite+l305-s5875&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=4157104064488514059&sa=X&ei=Jp7ETfyIC6jZ0QGQl7C0CA&ved=0CDoQ8wIwAQ# [03:34] like, not particularly technical people even [03:34] multiple of them [03:34] sje, so... i don't really know what to tell ya, maybe you should use something like Mac OS [03:34] sje, did you not see my msg? [03:35] abstrakt: yes I got your message. Don't be an elitistdouche [03:35] Anyone know of a quick fix to get sound output on a lenovo ideapad z560? [03:35] izinucs, i know that, my point is that wasn't what was preventing me from burning mp3, it's opensource snobbiness. [03:35] sje: if you want to use the gui to do it let me know and I'll tell you [03:35] does Ubuntu support Intel GMA 3150? [03:35] * kneaux is an opensource snob [03:35] you shoudlnt' have to know how to program to uselinux [03:35] abstrakt, how would you do it with -exec that will only you need to pop the value into sed to lowercase it... I ask because my find skills are week [03:35] weak [03:35] sje, wow dude, ok then nevermind [03:35] abstrakt, he's right. [03:35] sje, dude, keep it, i don't want none, if you're gonna snap and get all krunk lol [03:35] well you're insulting me, being patronizing [03:35] thanks for the help and all, but still [03:35] you're being whiny and stupid [03:36] sje, don't take it personally, he was a dick to me, too. [03:36] so whatever [03:36] you're saying "Well if you want to solve this minor problem, learn how to program" [03:36] sje: if you want to use the gui to do it let me know and I'll tell you [03:36] kneaux: Oh, you are just trying to burn mp3s onto a CD ? [03:36] sje, well apparently reading the very straightforward tutorial i linked you to was far too difficult [03:36] lol [03:36] usr13, well, yeah, i was trying, now i am succeeding [03:36] thanks izinucs for the offer...but it's in a shell [03:36] 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] usr13, actually i was trying to burn mp3s /and/ flacs on the same cd, and apparently that was my mistake :P [03:36] kneaux: Ok well good. Problem solved.... [03:37] 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] sje, that it's not simple and easy to understand? lol wtf [03:37] sje, get out bro don't come at me with that garbage, stop whining and strap on a pair [03:37] uh, wow [03:37] I am reading teh tutorial. Thanks for linking me to it. It probably hasthe answer to it [03:37] what a douche [03:37] sje: follow the link... doing cli work is learning the syntax.. sometimes it feels like programming and can be translated there for bash scripting [03:38] 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] i'm just saying don't be all like "If you don't know hwo to program, you shouldnt be using linux" [03:38] sje, don't worry about it, everyone has to start learning somewhere [03:38] What I'm trying to find out is how to do the syntax [03:38] sje: don't judge all the help here by one individual.. when we can help we do.. [03:38] PLEASE don't be condescending...is that too much? [03:39] sje: It's not programming, just learning some CLI options. [03:39] you unfortunately choose a somewhat more complicated problem to start with [03:39] escott: I'm not beginning, that's why [03:39] huh. i didn't have package "flac" installed, yet i could read flac. [03:39] sar [03:40] sje, ok sorry [03:40] oops, disregard === debian is now known as Guest10867 [03:41] "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] that's allI'm mad about [03:42] usr13: I didn't say anything was programming [03:42] sje: so does the -r or -R switch work? [03:42] again, does Ubuntu support Intel GMA 3150? I've been having resolution problems and I'm wondering if it is related [03:42] izinucs: no, it doesn't have that option [03:42] sje: does no mean you tried and it didn't work? [03:43] sje, yeah what he said was obnoxious, but i don't think you need recursion [03:43] escott: what else would I need? [03:43] 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] izinucs: unknown option r [03:44] sje: k.. like escott says.. find coupled with the command might work through a pipe "|" [03:44] 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] I'm talking about the command "rename" btw, not "find". Find is, itself, reursive. [03:44] find is also unnecessary if you have a fixed depth(s) [03:44] 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] this is so tiring [03:45] 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. We should not be so thin-skinned that we take everyting someone says on an IRC chat channel as personal attacts or insults. [03:45] anybody got freenx or neatx working in Natty? [03:46] qin: if you don't mind me asking...what do those brackets do? [03:46] cntrational: support for intel is built in.. open a terminal and type xrandr to see the modes that it currently recognizes [03:46] and teh slash [03:46] sje, the filename is placed there (with the relative path) [03:47] sje, so if your path has caps this could be problematic... (maybe) [03:47] 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] sje: Yes * is overkill, my bad. [03:48] well it works fine, qin [03:48] sje: Overkill, not foo [03:48] cntrational: did anyone give you the ubottu link to xrandr? or resolution? [03:48] 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? [03:49] sje: Peolpe calling it "find -exec" form, and it is very usefull. [03:49] izinucs: yes [03:49] cntrational: the resolution link should have told you how to add the correct resolution [03:50] izinucs: yes. and they didn't work [03:50] cntrational: once added you have to enable it .. did you verify that it was added? then did you enable it? [03:51] Tweaky: Excuse me , i wen to grab my coffee , so have you tried all of them options. [03:51] 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 [03:52] 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] What could be the issue there? Running 11.04 [03:52] cntrational: humm.. hang on a sec [03:52] 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] Are there any mirrors or known sites that host jigdo files of the full repository DVD set? [03:53] ah , good going. [03:53] cntrational: did you see this page? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Setting%20xrandr%20changes%20persistently [03:54] 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] Tweaky: are they full screen? [03:54] S4RY: no [03:54] Ah NM I see there is. [03:54] izinucs: yes. .xprofile does nothing, gdm did nothing, and my attempts to use xorg.conf didn't work [03:55] cntrational: nvidia or what? [03:57] izinucs: no they arent full screen [03:57] hi [03:57] Does Ubuntu come with OpenGL libraries? [03:58] izinucs: lspci | grep -i vga says "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)", BUT, switching over to my Windows partition and checking Device Manager says "Intel GMA 3150" [03:58] DIFTOW: believe so [03:58] Cause, nothing 3D that uses OpenGL.. is running smooth at all [03:58] Tweaky: i haven't used unity yet. [03:58] I'm using an Nvidia GXT 580 [03:58] Duke Nukem shouldn't be lagging me :3 [03:58] GTX* [03:58] S4RY: what luck you have then!

But yours apparently is broken. [06:01] hellloooo, is anyone willing to help me out? [06:01] DIFTOW, it looks like your trying to enable a d monitor but your monitor doesnt support it [06:01] 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] DIFTOW, it looks like your trying to enable a 3D monitor but your monitor doesnt support it [06:01] lol, im not [06:01] coz_ does "advanced options" in the minimal cd have the option for the memory test? [06:01] Thats Ubuntu or Nvidia, not me [06:01] I'd be happy to run it again with the new (higher) timings [06:02] DIFTOW, you xorg.con is [06:02] 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] me* [06:02] oh, and same blank, black screen coz_ [06:02] that doesnt explain lag v_v [06:02] rzx237: Will try that, hopefully it works on a netbook :). Thanks MUCH! [06:02] rpk, yeah it could check the initial menu where it says install [06:02] how can i get ubuntu to mount a cd in the drive that is reading as no media in drive? [06:02] afeder: I'm not sure why that happens, are you running out of memory? [06:03] not that i know of - it happens at startup [06:03] 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] KCSterling, what app [06:03] coz_ how long should I give the minimal cd again? [06:03] rpk, it has to download the install files first so a few minutes although that is long [06:03] rpk, at least 45 seconds [06:03] okay.. lets fix that, and see about that.. [06:03] coz_ ok [06:03] who do I have to punch for adding /etc/bash_completion.d/mount and /etc/bash_completion.d/umount? [06:03] because i can bet you $100, its not [06:04] rzx237 got .config had no .gnome, retrying now! [06:04] whoever added those must not actually use their computer. [06:04] anyone who uses bootchart? [06:04] DIFTOW, write your own xorg.conf, make it fine tuned to what your doing [06:04] while i want to render [06:04] Can someone recommend an MP3 (and more, if possible) tagging program for me? [06:04] I don't know how to write an xorg file [06:04] it says IndexError: list index out of range [06:04] And I can't believe I'd had to write one, just to use my display. [06:04] K`zan: .config and .gnome, I mean [06:04] have* [06:04] Does anything on this operating system just work? [06:04] unforgiven512: soundjuicer is one [06:05] DIFTOW: yes [06:05] jbicha: Sweet, thanks [06:05] K`zan: you may want to back it up somewhere [06:05] Preferably GTK [06:05] rzx237: No .gnome :) [06:05] DIFTOW: for most people, nearly everything just works [06:05] Too late :-/. [06:05] is there anyone who uses bootchart? [06:05] DIFTOW, at least yours installed... XD [06:05] okay, .config [06:05] DIFTOW, didnt the tell you that xorg is going to be using the nvidia module on the nvidia site? [06:05] unforgiven512, maybe easytag from the repositories [06:05] I had to install more than once rpk.. since its installer couldn't get it right without custom options. [06:05] jbicha, actually, even at work it won't correctly detect my monitor resolution [06:05] unforgiven512, I believe it is sudo apt-get install easytag-aac [06:06] pfifo, idk what you just said. [06:06] coz_: I just got frustrated beyond belief with EasyTag -- not too easy, plus no support for albumartist tag (that I can see) [06:06] what are you doing with nvidia [06:06] jbicha: and theres an open bug since 9.10 that apt-adding a ppa won't use the network proxy setting [06:06] why doesn't anyone use PM? [06:06] unforgiven512, ah ok let me check for more appls hold on [06:06] K`zan: and login back, so you now starting with empy config [06:06] jbicha: I'd consider synaptic a core part of the system, wouldn't you? [06:06] doesnt your eyes hurt? [06:06] im about to throw my monitor out the window [06:06] rzx237: Did so, same reboot to get out. [06:07] rpk: Synaptic has had numerous issues, it's not recommended for people who can't figure it out [06:07] rzx237: Used "gnome". Will try "gnome classic" this time. [06:07] unforgiven512, look for an application named Puddletag [06:07] jbitcha: so the suggested method of installing and updating programs is? [06:07] coz_: Okay, thank you :) [06:07] rpk: Ubuntu Software Center [06:07] err "ubuntu ..." [06:08] I'm checking out a couple others, as well. [06:08] wheres the xorg file... [06:08] v_v [06:08] I want to get my MP3 collection in tip-top shape [06:08] jbicha: same problem as with synaptic [06:08] 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] DIFTOW, /etc/X11/xorg.conf (this file dosent exist, you have to create it) [06:08] 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] rpk: nobody is saying Ubuntu is perfect or bug-free [06:08] rzx237: Used "ubuntu classic" and that worked! [06:09] no, it exists [06:09] It's a lot of work maintaining a 30,000+ song library =/ [06:09] ubuntu is perfect and bug free [06:09] nothing is perfect [06:09] oh, except him ^ [06:09] :D [06:09] rzx237: Thanks much for the help. First time a dist upgrade that I have done worked :)!!! [06:09] what is yoru problem with ubuntu? [06:09] we can help you [06:09] sorry, nothing.. including ubuntu [06:09] thats why it has updates [06:09] If it were perfect, it wouldn't need those. [06:10] is there a default keyboard shortcut to launch gnome-terminal? [06:10] unforgiven512, I am installing puddletag now to take a quick run through with it [06:10] DIFTOW, what was the las package you updated? [06:10] rpk: I don't use a proxy, but you do know that you can set a proxy for apt? [06:10] syrinx_: in 1104, ctl+alt+t [06:10] coz_ , I looked at advanced options, no option to check memory [06:10] pfifo.. [06:10] coz_: I don't see it in the repos [06:10] this display issue has been with 3 separate linux installations [06:10] 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] jbicha: apt uses the network manager set proxy, apt-add-repository does not [06:11] coz_: I'm checking out tagtool and gmusicbrowser [06:11] its not a package i downloaded that broke nvidia.. [06:11] anyone notices my qestion:while i use bootchart it says list index out of range [06:11] DIFTOW: what display issue [06:11] rpk, well when the cd come to the menu for install,, there was no check memory there? [06:11] mrdeb: thanks :D [06:11] 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] 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] you're wlecome [06:11] unforgiven512, this puddletag looks pretty complete :) [06:11] I have no graphics acceleration.. no matter how I install my Nvidia drivers. [06:11] coz_ , in the minimal cd, no? [06:11] coz_ I can't get the full live cd to boot into a gui, remember? [06:11] rpk, gah,, well there's one downside of it [06:11] DIFTOW: you just use jockey [06:11] I used jockey first.. [06:11] rpk, right [06:11] rpk: I don't know, but are you sure you can't do that in the apt.conf file? [06:11] Then package manager.. [06:12] when were the sun-java6-* packages added to the natty partner repositories? [06:12] coz_ lol, no, its cool, at least I got a little further [06:12] rpk, I am puzzled,, I nothing more to offer on this [06:12] coz_ should I try the alternate mode? [06:12] what happened with jockey [06:12] I used jockey, package manager.. and manual (.run file in terminal).. all 3.. nothing [06:12] why is it that when I view shared media from over the network it doesn't show the thumbnails in Nautilus!? [06:12] rpk, well the minimal is like the alternate except the packages are downloaded [06:12] it installs, i restart... it says "driver activated but not in use". [06:12] DIFTOW, you chip is too new [06:12] DIFTOW: what do you mean nothing. be mroe specific [06:12] why am I getting this? exec: 121: ./nexuiz-linux-x86_64-sdl: Permission denied [06:12] pfifo.. good bye [06:12] your help is not needed [06:12] scorch_: permissions [06:13] dirt: nope its +x [06:13] rpk, honestly ,, something on that end is screwing this up,, and I am not there to check bios settings,, etc etc [06:13] zetheroo: That should be a setting in preferences. Previews over slow network connections are bad. [06:13] coz_: I don't see it in the repositories [06:13] I just upgraded 10.10 to 11.04 and on boot it freezes at "Checking battery state..." What's the problem? [06:13] 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] Nothing as in.. same issue with all 3.. its "activated".. but "not in use".. [06:13] unforgiven512, ubuntu 11.04? [06:13] taglass: can I change it? [06:13] scorch_: are you sure you're owner/group is set right? [06:13] unforgiven512, do you have all the repositories enabled? [06:13] scorch_: chown'd?

[06:13] 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] taglass: ok will look [06:13] DIFTOW: did you sudo nvidia-xconfig? [06:13] rpk, ooo that's not good [06:14] coz_: Yes, and yes. [06:14] 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] Yes I have [06:14] unforgiven512, and you spelled it puddletag ,,,, yes? [06:14] dirt: what command chown ... ? [06:14] then it will work. you can also blacklist nouveau [06:14] unforgiven512, it is in the repositories [06:14] coz_ I'll go look for help in linux. crazy thing is, using the build the day of the release, I got all the way into the installer, but never got to the partition page, was getting the ubi-partman error [06:14] 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 did copy a 10GB image from another disk to this disk and I'm wondering if its made it 10GB now even though its a 16GB disk. Could anyone assist? [06:18] 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!

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] JoshWindows, /etc/default/grub [06:28] JoshWindows, /boot/grub/grub.cfg, however editing this file is unsupported [06:28] 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] dirt: amy other ideas? why would this break after unity install? [06:28] JoshWindows, since u dont know where it is you prob dont want to make any manual changes [06:28] JoshWindows, also if you edit remember to sudo update-grub2 [06:28] Zelozelos: It missed my Windows partition. Discovered the Arch and Windows Recovery partitions, but missed the actual Windows partition. [06:29] scorch_: is it running from you local hard drive? [06:29] JoshWindows: sudo update-grub [06:29] JoshWindows, which version of ubuntu?

All update-grub2 does it reread the the grub.cfg file and add anything it finds [06:31] shouldn he try and re-detect it then update-grub? [06:32] scorch_: is it on a seperate partition? [06:32] pfifo: It only detects Arch and the recovery (which it thinks is Windows) [06:32] pfifo: i fixed it -- used resize2fs /dev/sda1 [06:32] thats what update-grub2 does [06:32] Contrary to its belief, my Windows partition is sda1, not sda4 [06:32] dirt: no [06:32] ahh i c jrmcm [06:32] anyone who can help ???

[06:40] DIFTOW: remove them from synaptic. easiest way. or purge nvidia-current from terminal [06:40] gnome-settings-daemon appears to crash on startup - what might be the cause of this?

[06:51] MrDeb.. That was no different than when I booted 'text' in grub menu.. But I did it anyway, now what? [06:51] bluegoon or you an also set up groups and sharing that way i think [06:51] scorch_: chmod -R 777 /home/scorch/Nexuis-2.5.3 [06:52] ok [06:52] scorch_: try a blanket everyone can use this permissions set [06:52] Can I get some assistance in installing Nessus on Xubuntu 10.10 ?

[06:52] AgresiV, what kind of assistance? its better 2 say whats going wrong ;) [06:52] 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 [06:53] i boot up... if you're wondering if theres a popup or something.. no [06:53] you get a blinking cursor? [06:53] ubuntu boots up, and thats it [06:53] no [06:53] is your resolution messed up [06:53] no [06:53] unity is running [06:53] so what's the problem [06:53] v [06:53] v_v [06:53] Zelozelos, says this feature cannot be enabled because you need the required app, its personal file sharing [06:53] 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] can you run nvidia-settings?

I downloaded .deb package for ubuntu 10.10 and in some tutorials I found says to follow the commands promted... [06:55] dirt: how where they not right? [06:55] Zelozelos, lemme try and obtain it, you would think they would include it by default [06:55] dirt: all I did was upgrade to 11.04 [06:55] does nvidia-setings give an error upon strrtup [06:55] No [06:55] scorch_: dunno, the parent directory of that file, or sub files were messed up [06:55] 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] scorch_: not sure why it would mess it up, the upgrade [06:55] dirt: ok thanks man.... [06:56] scorch_: but all we did is make it so it globally open [06:56] I used Ubuntu Software Center to install but nothing promted after it finished [06:56] scorch_: anyone can run it [06:56] so then how do you know hardware accleration is off? [06:56] dirt: you got a good linux pdf? [06:56] thanks Keith, I'll look into the temp of the card ; ) logging off /bye [06:56] dirt: need to learn this stufff [06:56] scorch_: might want to try scaling back the permissions and see when it breaks, then fix it. [06:56] because when I run 3D games.. the FPS is EXTREMELY low.. freezing.. even some 2D GUI movies/videos.. [06:56] scorch_: chmod -R 770 [directory] [06:56] scorch_: chmod -R 700 [directory] [06:57] scorch_: and see when it stops working [06:57] DIFTOW: then it's not that the driver isnt intsalled. its installed. it's more a driver issues or something like that [06:57] Hi, I have problem with my headphone. Speakers are okay, but no sound in headphones, what to do? [06:57] hey, how do i get the weather icon next to the time? with the newest version [06:57] dirt: yeah.... just in general to you know of a good linux pdf [06:57] The driver is installed, but "additional drivers".. claims it is only activated, not in use. [06:57] scorch_: ummm just takes experience, but I do personally like http://www.admin.com/ [06:58] Fahmida, in my experience if sound is outputed in speakers it sould work on headphones ... do you have built in speakers ? [06:58] 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] 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] 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/ [06:59] dirt ok thanks [06:59] scorch_: explains permissions, run levels, boot processes, trouble shooting, file systems, etc. [06:59] when i use software rendering.. the performance is lightning fast.. opengl is a turtle.. should be the other way around.. [06:59] DIFTOW: whats the gpu [06:59] Zelozelos: This headphone worked even few days ago. [06:59] Nvidia GTX 580. [06:59] I know it comes with OpenGL 4 [06:59] Zelozelos and AgresiV, It is connected from the front panel. [06:59] is it suppported per nvidia's site [07:00] fahmida did u make any changes to the sys like upgrades, updates etc? [07:00] scorch_: and then come here an learn more by helping others fix their stuff ;) [07:00] It runs fine in Windows [07:00] Everything runs fine in Windows [07:00] Zelozelos: Just like regular updates (notified by Update Manager). [07:00] dirt, lol true that [07:00] Its when I try to use my GPU in Ubuntu.. that im suddenly running a 1990 machine [07:00] DIFTOW: drivers?... [07:01] When I click on Windows Network, it states: Unable to retrieve folders from server, I have a windows 7 machine set to share all files and folders. [07:01] pfifo: The most I can get out of it is "invalid signature." [07:01] I can ping it as well [07:01] bluegoon: Samba [07:01] Nvidia Linux 270.41.06 [07:01] dirt, just installed taht [07:01] dirt, that* [07:01] 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] Zelozelos: In my Sound Preferences section, I can check my microphone, just no sound in headphone. [07:01] dirt, enabled sharing, created a folder, and set permissions to all [07:01] DIFTOW: the linux drivrr may be different in terms of compatibility [07:01] DIFTOW: I don't know if this pertinent to your problem, but can you monitor your GPU's temperature? [07:02] DIFTOW: also, windows has better drivers. that's obvious [07:02] Zelozelos: I don't know. [07:02] 40 C [07:02] does 11.04 have a weather indicator at all? [07:02] Duke Nukem is not over heating my GPU.. its from 1997 [07:02] :) [07:02] Fahmida, do u have a mic and a headphone jack or just 1 input? [07:02] Old Dos games, dont usually lag modern GPUs [07:02] bluegoon: hrmmm [07:03] Zelozelos: 2 separate jack. Mic is pink, Headphone is green. [07:03] The card is VERY cool.. thats why I have it. Way cooler than the 480. [07:03] 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] DIFTOW: I run an NVIDIA 9800 GT - it runs around 62C normally... is 40 considered high for that card? [07:03] Fahmida, ok so its prob not one of those screwy jacks then... [07:03] no. === ubuntu is now known as crash1hd [07:03] The card can hit 100 C.. but it never goes above 75 [07:04] it has a very good cooling system [07:04] 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/ [07:04] its idle temperature is below the average.. so way better [07:04] DIFTOW: kk... just wondering. Mine did some nasty things untill I pukked the card and cleaned it out [07:04] DIFTOW: its not a temp issue [07:04] pukked sould be pulled... typing in the dark :) [07:04] Zelozelos: So, any suggestion, what should I do? [07:05] For some reason.. applications are not recognizing it for 3D acceleration\ [07:05] 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] Fahmida, not sure only basic trouble shooting for that is all i know [07:05] so i have to assume, the drive isn't full in use. [07:05] DIFTOW: can ou try a different nvidia card [07:05] DIFTOW: ubuntu 11 or 10? [07:05] Zelozelos: Okay, thanks!

[07:18] puneet: and that you're using the right output [07:18] i connected my usb headset its detectinng in the sound icon [07:18] but no sound [07:18] ubuntu: depends on your system [07:18] yes check not muted [07:18] dirt, ok in what regards [07:18] yup double checked [07:18] ubuntu: swap is used for RAM overflow and other tasks [07:18] puneet: what're you outputting audio off of to test? [07:18] dirt, this system has 3gb of ram [07:19] ? [07:19] ubuntu: about twice the ram, if you need hibernate [07:19] dirt, may be upgrading to 4 [07:19] 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] ubuntu: then unless you're running games and virtual machines you don't need swap [07:19] celthunder, i was planing on using vms [07:19] hi [07:19] !sound | puneet [07:19] 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] ubuntu: not a lot of ram, lower your swap** [07:19] ubuntu: or recursive compiling or anything that eats ram...generally 3gb is overkill for daily tasks [07:19] 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. [07:20] celthunder, vmware I mean [07:20] ubuntu: for 3gb i'd suggest 6gb swap, enough for stuff and you can hibernate [07:20] checking [07:20] any1 home? [07:20] ubuntu: even then, you're not going to want to set the ram of the vm higher than 2.5 gb right? [07:20] Speedle: no we all died in the last second [07:20] celthunder, probably not [07:20] ubuntu: Walther is correct, usually the rule of thumb is atleast the amount of ram [07:20] Ozzy, hi [07:20] I can see that. [07:21] dirt: lol overkill much? [07:21] anyway of making 11.04 look like previous versions of ubuntu? [07:21] celthunder: depends on the system... I don't run that much, but I've read various debates on what it should be [07:21] Anyone know about PPC Macs? [07:21] Ozzy, hi [07:22] ozzy, hi [07:22] the rule of thumb for twice the ram is ok, as there is no drawbacks anyway [07:22] Speedle, does the gazebo in my yard count as home? [07:22] 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] hi [07:22] except for the hdd space, which everyone has anyway [07:22] html_inprogress, hi [07:23] celthunder, what about hibernate? do I need to have at least 3gb? [07:23] Flynn: yeah i don't see why not [07:23] ubuntu: at least 3gb, i'd have 6 [07:23] 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] 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] ubuntu: you have loads of hd space anyway [07:24] Zelozelos: hiddenmenu=true [07:24] celthunder, I heard it has more to do with the processor than the actual OS. [07:24] is there anyway to tell if graphics acceleration is turned on in 11.04 [07:24] Zelozelos: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub [07:24] Flynn: why would the wireless drivers care what processor you have?

Xubuntu 10.10 / ati radeon 9250 128/128 [07:28] ubuntu: with /home separate, you can clean install / but have all your .configs and files safe ;) [07:28] celthunder: I thought I remembered hearing that somewhere I could be mistakin'. === asdfgftft is now known as fedorafan [07:28] WaltherFI, dont see the line "#hiddenmenu=false" ? === fedorafan is now known as fedorafan2 [07:29] fedorafan2, whats the question [07:29] Zelozelos: there should be something about hiddenmenu [07:29] well [07:29] 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] i dont like unit [07:29] fedorafan2, then use classic [07:30] !classic | fedorafan2 [07:30] 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] in fedora ? [07:30] 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] Zelozelos: can't remember the correct syntax it was in there, probably just #hiddenmenu [07:30] #fedora fedorafan2 [07:30] WaltherFI, thers hidden timeout and hidden timeout quiet [07:30] fedorafan2: fedora isn't supported here [07:30] ok [07:30] fedorafan2, this is #ubuntu try #fedora [07:30] Does anyone have a usb wireless adapter?

[07:32] Agresiv: ubuntu doesn't ship with one but if you make it, it will be obeyed [07:32] AgresiV: will give you more control over that card [07:32] After hours of googling I found that my card being kinda old it`s best to leave hte default [07:32] AgresiV: k [07:32] and it wont let me open it up is there a process i need to close or just restart my box [07:33] krambal: ps x |grep firefox then kill -9 the pid or killall firefox [07:33] krambal: note killall is EVIL...but it works [07:33] ps x ?

[07:35] Initially X11 had no file named xorg.conf but I think I created it [07:35] bazhang: I only found one file '/etc/cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index'. I found 3 directories 'apt-xapian-index'. [07:35] 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] dirt, really don`t know [07:35] dirt, I`m newer the a newbie [07:35] :)) [07:35] krambal, oh i forgot b4 u reinstall it make sure u updated [07:35] bullgard4, for future reference: /msg ubottu find xapian gives a long list, and a search link [07:35] i am running ubuntu thru vmware on my windows 7 laptop [07:35] .... lol [07:36] dang it [07:36] krambal, its sudo apt-get update [07:36] i think [07:36] Agresiv: it will be.

[07:41] 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] yep, nautilus is corrupted [07:41] celthunder: do I need to do a ldconfig to make everything work with it? [07:41] g-nitey nite time 2 bite the bed bugs [07:41] Can anyone tell me how to redownload nautilus so it will fix the problem? [07:42] 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] yeah [07:42] 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.

How could i double check my installation to ensure something didn't download and install properly?

[08:00] yep because when I invoke nautilus, I can't see my files [08:00] StepNjump: I haven't played with 11.04 yet, maybe try removing Unity and installing Gnome2 again?? [08:00] StepNJump, thats why upgrades always scare me. If it aint broke, don't fix it. [08:00] Flynn, yes. new kernel, new default DE (from gnome 2 to Unity) [08:00] do I have to manually change the xorg.conf.new to X11 and rename it to xorg.conf ???

[08:02] madsailor, last time i tried a different desktop eviroment (KDE) it was too bloated. [08:02] 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 [08:03] StepNjump: the upgrade is done, but Ubuntu moved to a new desktop UI called Unity [08:03] StepNjump: based on Gnome3 or osmething, I'm lacking in knowledge in that dept to be honest [08:03] Flynn: lxde is light [08:03] dirt, I had unity already cuz I am running on a netbook [08:03] AndChat-, what shall I do then ??

[08:04] StepNjump: what broke [08:04] 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] 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] AgresiV: can you throw your xorg.conf in a pastebin?? [08:04] 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? === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [08:05] ah, I'm using unity [08:05] Is it normal that if I run 10.10, upgrade to 11.04 does not show in update manager? [08:05] StepNjump, I know I feel like this kernel is like driving a car made outta junkyard parts. [08:05] StepNjump: this is why people store their home directories on seperate partitions [08:06] so you can just do fresh installs without losing personal files and such [08:06] Agresiv: let us look what you have. I'd try the virtualbox one as well. You can always rename it out [08:06] 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] 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] 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] dirt, The one in X11 folder is empty the one marked as new can`t seem to find it... [08:06] madsailor, I still think If it aint broke don't fix it. Maybe I'll try 12. whatever [08:06] or maybe I missplaced it [08:07] 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] StepNjump: that should be automatic.. grub will see the win7 partition and add it.. as long as you dun nuke it [08:07] StepNjump: yea, in that case wipe away, save yourself the headache ;) [08:07] Stepnjump: the files in /etc/grub.d will need archiving then. [08:08] 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] Submarine, you need to go into software sources and under the updates tab change to normal releases from lts at the bottom [08:08] ok andchat- thanks [08:08] AgresiV: cd /;find . -name 'xorg.conf' [08:09] atlef, this does not change anything [08:09] Flynn, yep, if 'ain't broke' is a high priority, waiting for an LTS release is the way to go ;) [08:09] AgresiV: cd /;sudo find . -name 'xorg.conf' [08:09] Does anyone have a successful way of install GNOME3 in Natty?

[08:42] AgresiV: if it's there it's probably being used [08:42] nowat: theres netboot options. but ive never used them. easier to just set up a flash drive to boot the system from for the clients. theres a factoid/wiki page ive seen for netbooting. lets see if the bot can show it.

[09:26] babarnazmi, or try the torrents [09:26] hot_wheelz: Look at the above info about blueray [09:26] abrakazam : im not even know how to run it [09:27] maxa_: yes. when you insert e.g. a ubuntu livecd it should start automatically in somekind of graphical desktop [09:27] abraham : then what should i do now? [09:28] abrakazam : the what should i do now? [09:28] is it possible to downgrade to 10.10 if 11.04 does not work for me after upgrading? [09:28] maxa_: hmm. i think usr13 idea was the better one :/. its only more trouble this way. try to start the pc without the livecd as normally [09:29] MK``: not really [09:29] hi. I'm installing Ubuntu in a hard disk that I have partitioned in two ext4 partitions, one for home and one for root. But, it's possible to say at installation time that I want the root in one part, and home in that other partition? [09:29] hm [09:29] MK``: a clean install of 11.04 may work better [09:29] maxa_: sorry for the bad idea :( [09:29] MK``, try classic [09:29] I mean I will be using classic [09:29] but, I do not want to break my stuff :P [09:29] novitololo: you can set up customized partion layouts in the installer yes.. [09:29] MK``, or give unity-2d a try === mike is now known as Guest77561 [09:29] abrakazam: What is maxa_'s problem? [09:29] novitololo: or you can set up a dozen specialpartions if you wanted. :) /tmp and so on. [09:29] maxa_: he gets not graphical desktop on boot [09:30] .. [09:30] Dr_Willis: I'm at the point that I'm seeing all partitions, but I don't see how can I say install root there, and home there [09:30] I just see the partitions and I have to choose one to "install" [09:30] usr13: he gets no graphical desktop on boot [09:30] ... [09:30] abrakazam: After what...? Trying to install a video driver? [09:30] ok I see it now [09:31] Dr_Willis: thanks :) [09:31] usr13: he updated some packages [09:31] novitololo: the partitoning tool had some other/advanced button i recall. You select the partitionm, puill down menu/button to tel it to mount to / or /home [09:31] novitololo: dont forget your swap partition also. :) [09:31] abrakazam: If that's the case, he can prolly just mv or rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:31] usr13 : i not even know what i install on upgrade this morning [09:31] maxa_: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:31] What does that say? ^^ === paulius is now known as pauliuspa [09:32] usr13 : i have to take out the livecd first [09:32] Dr_Willis I've a NTFS to be shared between windows/ubuntu, do I have to specify something in there? [09:32] maxa_: Well if you have it mounted you can look at it and see. [09:32] maxa_: Is the filesystem mounted now? [09:33] usr13 : no [09:33] maxa_: well just boot it again and see. [09:33] @bazhang, no wubi.exe found in alternative download mirrors :) and by clicking on "download" and "location near me" links it is redirecting me to cyber-lums.edu.pk which is choked, or connected on dialup :) [09:34] nowat, im glad you found the VGA input on ur HDTV. Remember, VGA does support 1080p :) (1920x1080) [09:35] usr13 its ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf its??? [09:35] maxa_: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:36] peopleeee, I don't really understand the dock icon for online availability ? I can put myself online there and messages will popup, but if I click the message it will do nothing, and I have to manually start a messenger [09:36] i installed ntp but it doesn't seem to be setting the clock, the offset just grows continuously [09:36] usr13 : nothing happen, not mount [09:37] maxa_: are you still running the livecd? [09:37] bj0: It will in time, but if you want to set it now, do ntpdate pool.ntp.org [09:37] abrakazam : no [09:37] bj0: sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org [09:37] maxa_: good. so if you have done the above command, restart the pc and see what happens [09:37] maxa_: Did you issue command rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [09:38] maxa_: Yea restart or do startx [09:38] how can a driver load then I have blacklisted it? [09:38] maxa_: You can just issue command startx and see what happens. [09:38] abrakazam : usr : I LOVE YOU [09:38] haha... [09:38] usr13: thank you for helping :) [09:38] maxa_: your welcome [09:38] abrakazam: NP [09:38] maxa_: your welcome :) [09:39] hi i cannot find the Startup in this laptop [09:39] !startup [09:39] 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] i want to run the calculator everytime i start... but there is not startup in the start menu [09:39] usr13 : abrakazam : thanks very much!!!! its work!! definitely love you both!!!!! [09:39] These factoids need tweajked for unity. :) [09:39] usr13: thanks, i tried that, it worked when i ran it, but then the offsett just started growing again [09:40] kara, in unity 11.04?

[09:40] actually i have no start menu, i have an application-places-system menu at the top [09:40] kara: you can just pin the launcher to the panel at the left if you wanted to, [09:40] bj0: You can tweak the hardware clock and I would guess that is the trouble. Just a sec. [09:40] kara: Oh. you are not using Unity then. [09:40] should i use unity? [09:41] kara: depends on what you want. Youseem to be thinking in windows terms... [09:41] usr13: it seems like the ntpd isn't setting the clock at all, it's pulling the right info from other servers [09:41] Rods_Tiger, 11.04 uses libre [09:41] kara: You could just drag the calculator icon from themenu to the desktop and have a launcher there for it when needed [09:41] ok thanks [09:41] I did an update last night and openoffice was installed [09:41] !manual | kara [09:41] kara: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [09:42] Rods_Tiger, thats not 11.04 then [09:42] yes it is, why are you telling me it isn't [09:42] Rods_Tiger, 11.04 does not use openoffice [09:42] is unity easier to use? [09:42] then why did openoffice get installed last night? [09:42] 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] kara: its very differnt.

[09:44] @bazhang, no wubi.exe found in alternative download mirrors :) and by clicking on "download" and "location near me" links it is redirecting me to cyber-lums.edu.pk which is choked, or connected on dialup :) [09:44] megamanx1978, #winehq for that [09:45] bj0: You can sync the hardware clock with hwclock hwclock -w [09:45] bj0: sudo hwclock -w [09:46] babarnazmi, you get the livecd, wubi on that [09:46] Oh, ok, thanks , let me try that [09:46] bj0: There is a way to adjust the speed of the hardware clock and I'm searching for info on that. Still looking .... [09:47] is there statistic software like spxx or minitab [09:47] usr13: so what's the problem? ntpd can't keep up with the hw clock? [09:47] bj0: I'm sorry, I did not say it right above, let me re-write the above comment [09:47] will the upcoming keynote at the UDS on monday be available online..and if so, where? [09:47] i thought it just wasn't setting the clock as it should (it worked in 10.10) [09:48] bj0: You can sync the system time to the hardware clock with command: hwclock -w [09:48] madsailor, probably a livecast and there will be a channel on freenode as well [09:48] usr13: i ran ntpdate again, then did that hwclock command, then started ntpd [09:48] madsailor, #ubuntu-uds is the channel [09:49] bazhang, thanks. [09:49] offset was low, but it just starts growing again [09:49] hey [09:50] how do i get JULinux ?? the torrent is bronken [09:51] Hi, I'm getting the following in the kernel log [09:52] html_inprogress: first - whats julinux? second - this is the ubuntu channel [09:52] hey guys, anyone know the optimal SNR for reading gps? [09:52] @bazhang, finally able to download files from wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide -> then releases.ubuntu.com , but please register my complain for cyber-lums.edu.pk, because of it, people from my country are having serious issues [09:53] 11.04 mobile network does not connect any more [09:53] its a dristo thats just like ubuntu/xubuntu ,,, just a different name [09:54] html_inprogress: but offtopic here, we can't help you with that [09:54] html_inprogress: Anyways, there is not supported here [09:54] http://pastebin.com/Ljzv0nWX [09:54] how can I send you a clipping of the terminal output from last night's update, in which it installed openoffice all over again. [09:54] 11.04 unison does not connect to other machine [09:54] anybody have any idea where i should look for help? [09:54] hello [09:54] Hello, odd problem here, I can't kill the boinc process in with 'top' [09:54] is there a channel? [09:55] 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] It's taking up all my CPU time [09:55] can't use the killall command? [09:55] Pudabudigada: tried kill -9 ? [09:55] I use top, the type 'k, enter' [09:55] bj0 Let me look again [09:55] and then a new process spawns [09:55] And I type the PID :p [09:55] Does wine support games with DRM yet? [09:56] usr13: thanks, i'll keep looking, if i get desperate enough i might try the ntp mailing lists :) [09:56] 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] abrakazam, What will kill -9 do? [09:56] 11.04 how to start applications by dropping files on it on panel [09:56] Will it ask me which process? [09:56] megamanx1978: there is a list of supported games on the wine webpage [09:56] 11.04 mobile network does not connect any more [09:56] I can't very well type 156 lines in here, the text box isn't that big [09:56] if you just type kilall and hit tab a few times it will give u a list of processes. [09:57] Thanks [09:57] then find the process you want to kill, then type killall and its name [09:57] Random freezes just once per startup, getting this error http://pastebin.com/Ljzv0nWX [09:57] !paste | Rods_Tiger [09:57] Rods_Tiger: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[09:58] raven_: that just puts an icon on it to launch it later.. it dosent autostart it. [09:58] I've copied and pasted it in. [09:59] Dr_Willis, how to change that to the old behaviour [09:59] megamanx1978, i think ,,, but can i get some help with command and conqur,, red alater [09:59] isent the PID of 0000 like for 'init' ? [09:59] Killed it. [09:59] It respawned. [09:59] raven_: what old behavior>? ive never seen any gnome panels work that way.

[10:00] jb0 I think this is it, look at the part about "The Adjust Function" at http://linux.die.net/man/8/hwclock [10:01] DR_Willis I just tried dropping a file onto a panel application, Raven is right. [10:01] Hey [10:01] I don't think anyone else can see it, it's only on my Macs browser [10:01] Pudabudigada: perhaps you can clarfiy what hes saying then... [10:01] do I need to save it, or send it somewhere? [10:01] 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] 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? [10:02] I think he means 'how can I stop applications opening files I drop on them?' [10:02] And that process won't die >.< [10:02] raven_: if you have an actual support question - ask it. [10:02] Pudabudigada: :) not sure what hes meaning now...

[10:05] sunit: i would say its possible.. but the details.. i would have to research [10:06] 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.

[10:07] Dr_Willis, and it is doing something ... [10:07] sunit: worse case. Yiou may need to use a script that calls upon the power of sed/awk/perl :) [10:08] sunit: you can use the /etc/cron.d for that. Just create a script that creates a new 'cron' file there [10:08] This is the new page: http://paste.ubuntu.com/604368/ [10:08] Dr_Willis: thanks again [10:08] same as the old page [10:08] brontosaurusrex: if you downloaded it from web, use "chmod +x file" and "./file" [10:08] it will open the installer [10:08] Is there a way to see what applications open themselves on boot?

[10:19] raven_, are you certain it is set up properly? [10:19] ALSA* [10:19] usr13, [10:19] robin0800, it is [10:19] Thrawn: pulseaudio [10:19] 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] *usr13, I tried that, it doesn't show boinc [10:19] Thrawn: ALSA [10:19] ts an application to communicate and transfer files on lan, you can find it in software center [10:20] pulse audio uses alsa. [10:20] Pudabudigada: have you tried to uninstall the boinc-client? [10:20] how do i uninstall unity completely ? [10:20] 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] abrakazam, That's next on the list, I'd prefer to fix it though. [10:20] Pudabudigada: what is boinc ? [10:20] dragonkeeper: what are you going to use instead? === Nappz is now known as Nappz-Zzz [10:20] usr13: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ [10:20] Dr_Willis gnome 3 [10:20] usr13, Like set@home [10:20] i guess [10:21] usr13, But with support for lots of projects. [10:21] !gnome3 [10:21] 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] omid: try to log in with classical desktop; [10:21] *seti@home [10:21] well that wasnt really an answer to my question =S [10:21] dragonkeeper yes. gnome3 is way better than unity. i really cand understand why ubuntu developers switched from gnome to unity [10:22] @ omid: try to log in with classical desktop first; otherwise you might need to set up the whole machine again [10:22] !classic | omid_ [10:22] 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] Is anyone using IP messenger on ubuntu 11.04? [10:22] dragonkeeper: Gnome3 is not really supported here by us yet.. so thats proberly teh best answer you are going to get. [10:22] omid_: What happens when you try to boot OpenSuSe? [10:22] I imagine there will be tons oif breakage if you try to remove unity. [10:22] omid_: Becayse they wanted to use their own enviroment, I think that's the reason [10:22] well my question was how do i uninstall unity not is gnome 3 compatible [10:23] 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] I have seen guides for compiling gnome3 and haveing it work alongside unity [10:23] dragonkeeper: Search it in Synaptic and just unistall it [10:23] which gets around needing to remove unity. [10:23] 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] Pudabudigada: http://pastebin.com/Ge1CqsZ3 [10:23] Dr. Willis thanks, i will try [10:23] omid_: So you get stuck at a boot splash screen? [10:24] well i have gnome 3 on here just it doesnt work well with unity [10:24] I thought if you just inzstalled gnome3 from the ppa's you dident have to remove unity. it would do so.. [10:24] usr13, ? [10:24] but the whole unuity+g3 stuff is in such a state of flux right now. who knows untill you try. :) [10:24] Pudabudigada: have you tried to stop the boinc client using the commandline? [10:24] 11.04 unison does not connect to other machine [10:24] abhinav_singh, [10:24] Pudabudigada: Just showing what the options are, (from the repos) [10:24] BlouBlou why other major distros like SUSE,Redhat, debian etc dont try to create their own environment? [10:24] oops [10:25] Jordan_U yes. [10:25] my hp printer is not working after installing unity [10:25] abrakazam, Yes, it respawns instantly. [10:25] usr13, yeah, the one I'm having the problem with is -client [10:25] Pudabudigada: So it's running and you are trying to stop it? [10:25] Yup [10:25] 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] And it comes back [10:26] omid_: i rember when ximian sort of forked gnome years ago.. :) so weirder things have happened. [10:26] ciao [10:26] My hp printer is not working after installing unity. It worked well with Maverick 10.10. Now , my job is being marked as completed without really getting done.

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] Pudabudigada: Must have mystyped. [10:34] from gurgaon city [10:34] mang0: Can you just change the boot order in the BIOS? [10:34] mang0, you need to use your bios options to boot the drive with ubuntu as grub is installed in that drive [10:34] rohtash, this is your ip 115.241.152.232 [10:34] i use ubuntu 10.4 [10:34] :3 [10:34] Pudabudigada: sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client stop [10:34] The thing is Jordan_U and atlef that IDK which one is which [10:35] they are identical model and make [10:35] how can window programing [10:35] rohtash: ifconfig [10:35] usr13, 'not found' [10:35] Pudabudigada: see if it is really there. ls /etc/initd./bonic-client or ls /etc/init.d/boinc* [10:35] rohtash, #english and #windows [10:35] mang0: You can install grub to both drives, but then Windows won't boot without the Ubuntu drive connected (which may be fine depending on what you want).

[11:32] Jon--: there's still a regular Gnome option, but yeah, Unity will be the only option from 11.10 on [11:32] Why wouldn't they bite the bullet and have Gnome support for their next LTS? [11:32] of course Ubuntu may change their mind again and in a year unity may be a dead project.. whio can tell [11:32] I imagine there's a lot of people that go LTS -> LTS without intermediate upgrading [11:33] gnome apps should work on unity just fine. [11:33] LTS, here. [11:33] I'm also LTS [11:33] Jon--: it's still Gnome, just not the Gnome frontend [11:33] unity is an ayatana project. i don't think its going anywhere anytime soon. [11:33] My first was Gutsy; then went to Hardy, then Lucid. [11:34] 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? [11:35] hey guys [11:35] Jon--: support of it is not being removed. Just a differnt default gui. [11:35] Jon--: to be fair, Gnome 3 isn't going to have the original desktop environment, either [11:35] 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] Jon--: 'unreasonable' is often a term used to describe the GNOME devs also. :) but i only watch the flamewars.

[12:06] ok here:- [12:06] ive been experiencing some gr8 troubvle with my ubuntu 10.10. It just works normally for few minutes and then randomly hangs/freezes without any warnings or messages i cant even move the mouse or turn off computer. i tried uninstalling all ubuntuone packages and nopw the frequency of hanging is a bit reduced but problem still persists. pls pls help me i ve been suffering for so long and have tried asking on ubuntu forum for 3 times but didnt find anything u [12:06] seful [12:06] Itqan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

I tried both the "Intel Wifi Link 1000" and "E6200" and neither of them would let me set Master Mode. [12:08] FloodBot1, what does enter as punctuation mean? [12:08] Chepoll, alsa-mixer-save and pulseaudio look relevant [12:08] 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 [12:09] 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] 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 [12:10] oh thanxx [12:10] Gothfunc: I don't think that you previously modified pulseaudio. then it must be alsa-mixer-saver [12:10] the next upgrade will get rid of the classic option ? [12:10] so anybody would like to help me with my problem? [12:10] any solutions? [12:11] Autoclesis, i think so [12:11] thnx atlef [12:11] sucks though [12:11] oh well i will adapt [12:11] Chepoll, not sure, ubuntu studio has pulseaudio by default [12:11] Hi, there a way to identify tour PC's browser as a mobile browser (like Opera Mini) ??? [12:11] 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] Autoclesis, well, maybe unity will be better by then [12:11] why are two executives leaving ubuntu at the sametime ?? [12:12] yay atlef [12:12] offtopic, nevermind [12:12] Gothfunc: well then, see the manual for pulseaudio and it should tell ou where it reads its configurations from [12:12] DirtyDawg, ok ok i got it already 2 ppl told me [12:12] sry lol, was eating a sammich, missed that [12:12] Hi, is there a way to identify tour PC's browser as a mobile browser (like Opera Mini) ???

[13:54] can I download the driver package and its depencies and install it without internet! [13:55] eiriksvin: you never put tor in the software centre app ?

I tend to transfer from window to ubuntu using winscp just prefer it [13:57] 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] anybody know select performance mode in my laptop wih Natty :(? [13:57] mang0: you have the update-manager running? [13:57] especially if its a one-off migration or backup [13:57] bazhang: even in system moniter there is no apt process... [13:57] zteam I have nothing running (that I know of) other then browser and system manager [13:57] yes, just drag one from the tast bar, strait out... after you have run the program:) [13:57] anass: he should be able to download the .deb files to win7, then access them on the win7 partition when booted into ubuntu [13:58] MaRk-I: I know, I red this article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#STA%20-%20No%20Internet%20access [13:58] 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] how can i fix a ntfs filesystem on one of my internal drives? i homehow damaged it [13:58] mang0: system mananger?

[13:58] I can see my processes...no, not the package mangager [13:58] manager* [13:59] ntfs fix can be a big problem [13:59] EXIF script need a command to display exif time dates with parsable values for example only year, only month, only hour .... [13:59] MaRk-I, Gnea: I red it, but it depends on Ubuntu Install media in another Computer, he has one laptop! [13:59] candrea: but my ubuntu partition /dev/sda6 isn't showing up under fdisk -l [14:00] 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] bazhang, I fixed the things :D [14:00] milen8204, how? [14:00] Da|Mummy, Although I hate to suggest it, you may have to do the repair within Windoze. [14:00] anass: no, it does not! it can be dual-booted [14:00] bazhang, just disable the cube [14:00] bazhang, :D [14:00] sagaci, are you running "sudo fdisk -l" or just "fdisk -l"? [14:00] thats a bad bad advice! [14:00] Gnea: OK, how can I collect the depencies? [14:00] okey.... that's Really strange, but from the task manager select Monitor find open files [14:00] candrea: sudo fdisk -l [14:00] milen8204, okay, good news. perhaps try #compiz to get it going again [14:01] anass: read again, it says from the CD [14:01] Da|Mummy: channel ##windows might be more appropriate for your issue [14:01] anass: well which file does he need, exactly? [14:01] Da|Mummy, It's worth exactly what I charge for it. :-) [14:01] bazhang, ok thanks [14:01] sagaci, could you please paste the whole output on paste.ubuntu.com? [14:01] Gnea: this file: http://eg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/ [14:01] mang0: okey.... that's Really strange, but from the task manager choose monitor -> search for open files [14:02] kyubutsu, i dont have win installed on here though [14:02] Gnea: in this folder, there are .deb file for many archs! [14:02] okay.....then what zteam? search for apt? done, no result [14:02] i know i can easily chdsk on windows, but problem is, i dont have windows on here anymore [14:02] anass: only 2, actually. the trick is to getting the newest .deb file [14:03] Gnea: I know, but how can I collect the depencies? [14:03] mang0: then type in /var/lib/dpkg/lock [14:03] kk [14:03] Da|Mummy: fixing ntfs is out of the scope of this channel [14:03] +1 [14:03] 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] zteam: 0 results [14:04] Da|Mummy: the ntfsfix command should do it [14:04] mang0: that's really strange.... [14:04] theres a ntfsfix command? :| [14:04] mang0: try to reboot your computer [14:04] Da|Mummy, that wont do it, really [14:04] 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 [14:05] 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] !aptfix [14:05] 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] mang0, ^ [14:05] aha!

[14:06] zteam, thanks for your help :) [14:06] anass: correct! [14:07] huh zteam? I want to remove it [14:07] anass: it's actually 'build-essential', there is no 's' at the end [14:07] miceiken, need to repair it first [14:07] miceiken, first install it properly and the remove it [14:07] i have to say, i think Unity is awful and a bad move [14:07] miceiken: Well you could just run sudo apt-get remove -f, too i gues [14:07] right, wine time [14:07] okay. so sudo apt-get install -f mysql-server-5.1? [14:08] should I install wine with apt-get, or with package manager? [14:08] Gnea: oh my god! how can he install it without internet? it's a defficult mission!

I come from a Win background so i got no idea :S [15:54] Save mouse. [15:54] So after doing a fresh install of 11.04 I can't install mysql-server, it just goes stuck at "Setting up mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.54-1ubuntu4) ...", currently it has been 30 minutes. [15:54] A live usb.

Maybe some of my fonts is interfering with the system fonts :S [15:56] Glycan; a start up disk has to be made from the same system.Otherwise may not work it [15:57] waseem; it seems some problem with ur RAM [15:57] maybe someone here can offer perspective: back when karmic was current release, I had a viable 64 bit ubuntu installation on local hard disk partitions; now whatever 64 bit ubuntu version I try booting (livecd edition, karmic included) it locks up at some point in the kernel; other systems like systemrescuecd have 64 bit versions that work fine on this hardware; what gives? I shouldn't be restricted to 32 bits just on the basis of my install [15:57] KM0201, i typed wrong....it is a Intel 82562v-2 10/100 network connection [15:58] Good day all.

I found after upgrading some machine from 4 to 8Gigs the kernel suddenly started to spit out EDAC errors.... i had to blacklist the corresponding edac module [16:00] strange, i am following ubuntu instructions on ATI driver but i get no result in "additional drivers" [16:00] It can see the MAC address [16:00] coz_ thanks for responding; I have a lucid 32 bit and Windows XP installations, why?

OTOH, 3G is just fine for a 32bit install (on desktops) [16:02] ruge: don't confuse Ubuntu and Linux [16:02] and it also reported : audit : initializing netlink socket (disabled) [16:02] can u pass it [16:02] waseem: try in www.askubuntu.com too [16:02] reisio: you can probably tell im new to all this ;) [16:02] waseem; ok [16:02] -_- [16:02] hu okay [16:02] thank u [16:02] ruge: yes :) and that's okay [16:02] I'm just saying [16:02] from a win background.. so its like im having to learn the alphabet again [16:02] So after doing a fresh install of 11.04 I can't install mysql-server, it just goes stuck at "Setting up mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.54-1ubuntu4) ...", currently it has been 30 minutes.

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] i wonder if i roll back to 10.10 and see what happens [16:04] reisio: oh i c..

[16:06] I recently upgraded to 11.04 on my laptop and now the wireless doesn't work because the hardware switch is off and the key combination that is supposed to flip it does not. anyone know how to fix this? [16:06] is there a way to "rollback" to 10.10 from 11.04...or do i have to just install from scratch again ? [16:07] i hope that there is a driver from my ATI Radeon HD card :S [16:07] stefg, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/604485/ [16:07] enovativ: it's unlikely you have a good reason to want to do that [16:07] otherwise im stuck to this resolution :( [16:07] invisime: try booting to !classic and turning the wifi back on. [16:07] ruge: there is [16:07] invisime: then boot back to unity and hopefully it will remember the setting [16:08] I try to solve my msi laptop issue. Only getting sound from the subwoofer. Audio 2 Theater Class Speakers+1 Subwoofer [16:08] reisio, my only reason is that for some reason my on NIC in this old Dell workstation si not working..... [16:08] rage, ubuntu support for older ati cards was stopped after 8.04 ie they only support the open source driver [16:08] BrooksW: lucid = stable long term support (sfw:-) , natty =experimental standard relase (still rough at the time) [16:08] enovativ: that isn't a good reason [16:08] Wonder if its possible to get music playing in my speakers also. not only the woofer [16:08] IdleOne: how does one boot to classic? [16:08] enovativ: at most you would have to install a different kernel version [16:08] !classic [16:08] reisio, can you offer any suggestions on how i can get this to work...google doesn't show me anything [16:08] 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. [16:08] stefg, my primary reason to want a 64 bit system is virtualization: certain virtualization packages want a 64 bit host OS in order to allow 64 bit guests [16:08] invisime: ^^ [16:08] thanks. [16:08] enovativ: what's the device? [16:08] stefg: Very helpful , thanks [16:08] invisime: sure thing, hope that helps.

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. [16:11] reisio, that reported back the following : e1000e 138627 0 [16:11] adminewb1: hmmm, i see no reason why 64bit should not run on that cpu... so i'd look at motherboard/bios. there meight be some bug in the bios taht spoils proper address relocation on 64bit [16:11] SystemParadox: you just need to make sure essential drivers are included/auto-loaded [16:11] stefg good thought; I don't recollect installing a new motherboard in the last couple years but could have :/ [16:12] Any Rivendell users in here? [16:12] stefg, still, it's puzzling that systemrescuecd 64 bit should be happy when a general purpose linux kernel would not be [16:12] reisio, yes... but how do I setup something bootable in the first place? [16:12] broadcom wireless, ugh [16:12] IdleOne: no dice. the key combination still doesn't trip the switch. interestingly, I think it's also supposed to toggle the bluetooth hardware switch, but while it does toggle the bluetooth hardware switch on, it turns off a few seconds later.

Thank you so much for your time. [16:13] invisime: does it happen to have a physical hardware switch also? [16:13] sdegutis: which'n? [16:13] syanide, the regenerated cache worked?

[16:14] JoeCoolDesk: Upgrade is not smart [16:14] adminewb1: might be a subtle bug that only shows with certain kernel options... you could try various boot options like acpi=off and nohz ... or try debian squeeze 64bit (which might in any case be better as a virt host [16:14] IdleOne: if it does, it's extremely well-hidden. :P [16:14] i cracked my system. have to reinstall [16:14] renamed .fonts in home to fonts to remove it from the system, refreshed the cache, it looks okay now [16:14] reisio, 'grep svm'? [16:14] What do you mean upgrade is not smart? [16:14] SystemParadox: right [16:14] renamed .fonts in home to fonts to remove it from the system, refreshed the cache, it looks okay now coz_ [16:14] My workstation did screewup [16:14] When i tried to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 [16:14] stefg thanks for the ideas, will try following up soon [16:14] fresh install is always best.

After I pugraded to 11.04, in my Inspiron 1501 with a bw43 wireless, I need to press Fn+F2 to turn on the radio everytime I boot up. Is tehre a weay to turn the radio on automatically at boot/login time? [16:17] stefg: it says ubuntu-artwork is already the newest version [16:18] parapara: so dpkg -reconfigure ubuntu.artwork [16:18] SnowRaptor: just be grateful your Fn+F2 key combo still works. mine doesn't. :-( [16:18] reisio, I was going to avoid that, but I've just realised that having an ubuntu USB stick would be useful anyway so I'll go take a look at that. Thanks for the pointer on kvm though, that looks interesting [16:18] JoeCoolDesk: My suggestion is to have /home mounted onn a different partition [16:18] SnowRaptor: I seem to recall having to make a trivial alteration to a network conf to fix something like that in the past [16:18] SnowRaptor: check the forums [16:18] Not just that, but all the configurations for applications [16:19] invisime: I wish I didn't have to explain that to my mom, who uses that laptop [16:19] I can spend six hours getting the settings right for some daemon [16:19] stefg: thanks!

[16:27] i am in an ubuntu livecd (10.04) and am having the same problem repeatedly: after some time, the cursor disappears. At the same moment the tty's become unavailable: if i switch to the TTY using say alt-ctrl-1, then the display freezes. i can switch back to the desktop and the desktop still works. [16:28] 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 [16:28] i believe maybe the overlay is broken or something like that? i'm not sure how graphics drivers in ubuntu work [16:28] omg [16:28] this keeps on happening, over and over. is there a solution to this? it's completely disabling me from doing work :( [16:28] i give up, im on a 5gb/month connection and ive burned 200mb trying to download a 80mb driver because it keeps hash sum failing.. seriously..... [16:29] hi everybody from France [16:29] Skaperen: no bad idea anyway.... de-bloat it , get the ppa's for firefox-stable, libreoffice and the other stuff you use, use maverick backports-kernel .... [16:29] even if not keeping the tty's, i need some way to show the mouse cursor. is there a way to display the mouse cursor in a different fashion? [16:29] stefg: huh? [16:29] stefg: half of those answers I've tried, but there are a couple crazy ones in there I still want to try [16:30] stefg: I'll be back! [16:30] cheater15: Ctrl+Alt+1 or Ctrl+Alt+F1 ? [16:30] I would like to get some help on a Ubuntu Lucid which does not want to start [16:30] Skaperen, sorry ctrl+alt+f1 [16:30] I am having trouble syning my ipod nano 5g [16:30] just tried that again, yep, definitely broken [16:31] Skaperen: i'd rather user 10.04.2 LTS pimped with some updated key-packages (kernel,firefox, thunderbird, libreoffice, vlc) over maverick or even natty [16:31] hi folks! I made an ubuntu update and now my fan script(acer_fancontrol) does not work, and the fan doesn't start. It complains about:cat: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ01/temperature: No such file or directory [16:31] any ideas how to fix this? [16:31] Why not shipping CD anymore ? [16:31] o.O [16:31] cheater15: were you operating in console mode (instead of X) when it happened? [16:31] When I put my laptop to sleep it wakes up in locked screen mode... is there a way to turn this off? [16:31] hi all [16:31] anyone knows good monospaced font for ubuntu?

[16:32] How do you mount a USB internet conection? [16:32] Or even a WIFI connection? [16:32] Skaperen, the mouse cursor. the text cursor is still visible. sorry about not specifying [16:33] ok guys, i'll check them out [16:33] JoeCoolDesk: depends on the hardware you got [16:33] !wifi [16:33] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [16:33] stefg, a Droid with USB tethering [16:34] 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? === human is now known as testcompile [16:34] I tried start in recovery mode but I do not have any graphical window at all.

[16:34] google-fu! [16:35] stefg, I mean in the CLI. [16:35] The networking applet is automatic for everything [16:35] 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] p. [16:35] But in the recovery panel I can't download updates for dpkg without a network connection, stefg [16:36] cheater15: so when you say "it does not display" you are referring to the text console in F1, or the X desktop in F7 ? [16:37] Skaperen, the text console in F1 does not display. [16:37] cheater15: is it completely blank/black ? or just doesn't change? [16:37] it doesn't change, keeps on displaying what was on F7 last [16:38] 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] cheater15: so the video doesn't actually get out of graphical mode [16:38] hi all [16:38] hello [16:38] Skaperen, well, i wouldn't say so - the display is frozen [16:38] JoeCoolDesk: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man1/nmcli.1.html [16:38] Is there anything I can do to fix bad disk sectors, 10.10? [16:38] Howdy, what's the package for the java runtime environment? [16:38] Skaperen, maybe the frame buffer or whatever just doesn't get any new data, whereas old data stops comming in [16:38] sun java [16:39] MC8: openjdk-6-jre I'm pretty sure [16:39] 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] sdk sun java devolepment [16:39] Skaperen, how would i find out if it is? [16:39] Hi [16:39] cheater15: well lets continue exploring what you said ... you said later it goes back to working? [16:39] any reason why when i plug my usb stick in, it pops up a million times that its detected? [16:39] and opens windows of it ad infinitum [16:40] 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] im thinking its mounting it as a cd with -o loop === freax is now known as freax--- [16:40] im such a noob, i hit ctrl+alt+f1 and I couldn't get back. had to reboot... [16:40] Since I made changes in synaptic to add some video authoring soft yesterday, I cannot start my Ubuntu [16:40] 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] 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] freax---: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:40] 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] theophanie, at that point log in then sudo restart gdm [16:41] TurkuSama: Ctrl+Alt+F7 or 8 or 9 to get back (try them until you get there) [16:41] Skaperen, i guess that's what you meant. the problem does however not go away. [16:41] thanks cheater [16:41] theophanie, sorry wrong nick [16:41] TurkuSama, at that point just log in and then sudo restart gdm [16:41] TurkuSama, that was Skaperen who helped you :) [16:41] 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] ah, gotcha [16:42] thanks [16:42] 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] Skaperen, exactly [16:42] has anyone here built QT from source on Ubuntu? [16:42] BrooksW, I have not [16:42] Skaperen, going to f1 and back to f7 makes things work the same as before i switched to f1, simply put [16:42] cheater15: so ... BEFORE the mouse pointer disappears, does switching to F1 work then (you might have to go try it to see) [16:42] coz_: Thanks [16:42] 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 [16:43] 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] right now i have no mouse pointer. === chris is now known as Guest16162 [16:43] 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] cheater15: what happens if you log out then log back in while in this situation? [16:43] BrooksW: server kernel vs generic kernel [16:44] jrib: Are the performance implications of the server kernel that impressive? [16:44] stefg: apt-get remove xubuntu-gdm-theme did it! [16:44] it turns out xubuntu uses the gdm but with different artwork [16:44] 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] 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) [16:45] i hadn't tried though, but would be reluctant to try because i've got work running (data recovery) [16:45] cheater15: maybe, maybe not ... logging out and logging back in resets X so it might also reset the mouse driver [16:45] jrib: This is true. Thanks. [16:45] oh does it? [16:45] hmm.. [16:45] will my instances of screen still be accessible? [16:45] Anyone here program on AMX? [16:45] anyone know why image viewer in lubuntu won't go to the next image? [16:45] or will they get killed when i log out? [16:46] cheater15: if you started a background shell under the screen program, that background instance should still be reconnectable via screen [16:46] Skaperen, ok, so logging out user "ubuntu" from gnome will not actually kill all of the processes of the user? [16:46] 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 [16:47] 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] yeah [16:47] cheater15: logging out from desktop should only kill processes technically inherited from X ... screen's background is intetionally not that [16:47] i'm actually ircing in xchat, so i'll disconnect anyways [16:47] alright [16:48] 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] let me try that after backing up vital data [16:48] back up your vital data [16:48] do i need firmware to go with xserver-xorg-video-radeon [16:48] 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] !firestarter | BrooksW [16:48] 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. [16:49] damian_-__, not usually [16:49] BrooksW: you might as well look at zentyal.... [16:49] do i need firmware to go with xserver-xorg-video-radeon. it came pre-installed but doesnt seem to be enabled somehow. i also have no xorg.conf [16:49] ok [16:49] !zentyal | BrooksW [16:49] ubottu: Thanks. I assume that there is NAT capability in there as well? [16:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:49] so i'm using a macbook pro 5,1 with 10.10 installed. does anyone advise against using the update manager to upgrade to 11.04? i got a prompt the other day suggesting i upgrade. [16:49] !ebox » BrooksW [16:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:50] ubottu: you are a dumb scrap of metal, oh yeah [16:50] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:50] you should go play with cleverbot... [16:50] damian_-__, no xorg.conf yes that was removed some time ago not needed for open source drivers [16:51] Hi, does anyone know how to run a wireless network manager from the command line? [16:51] Trillian: nmcli [16:51] Trillian: iwconfig iwlist? [16:51] im confused now. `compiz wont work. no error, but no fx either and youtube is choppy. is there a way to enable it just in case its not?? [16:52] Skaperen, ok, i am ready to log out and log in again. let me try that now [16:52] cheater15: ok [16:52] yeah iwconfig is too manual for me, i'll try to get network manager working [16:52] damian_-__, compiz --replace [16:52] so i'm using a macbook pro 5,1 with 10.10 installed. does anyone advise against using the update manager to upgrade to 11.04? i got a prompt the other day suggesting i upgrade. [16:52] running google os but it is ubuntu right [16:52] Trillian: write it in a shell script [16:52] What would you guys say is the best way to get status of a machine (CPU usage, processes, etc) remotely? I have an AMX platform at our office, and we would like to be able to query all machines running for that information. I have it working with telnet (telnet in, run a command, parse response), but is there a better way? [16:53] when i execute "blkid", i do not see my /boot. does this mean that it does not have a UUID? hence, how should i amend my /etc/fstab? [16:53] ok i did get an error that time. [16:53] compiz (core) - Fatal: Root visual is not a GL visual [16:53] compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0 [16:53] compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0 [16:53] damian_-__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:53] slakcphil: yeah i have tried that and i have spent hours diagnosing problems with my script [16:53] i would up grade [16:53] brett__: make sure to have a valid backup before you start. Upgrade might break, or you might hate the new interface.... no downgrading excpt restoring your backup [16:53] sorry [16:53] Trillian: is it the encryption? [16:53] down grade??? why?? [16:54] stefg, how do you recommend I back up? [16:54] brett__: clonezilla or system rescue cd with fsarchiver [16:54] slakcphil: i don't know to be honest i got fed up :D [16:54] stefg, i'd definitely like to create a restorable backup at some point, because i'm happy with the way everything is set up currently, but i am curious about 11.04's new interface (still not sure if i'll like it or not) [16:54] BrooksW, you could try snmp [16:54] i <3 clonezilla :) [16:55] w00tw00t, you need sudo blkid [16:55] brett__: set up a virtual machine.... in virtualbox i got unity working.... [16:55] desu: Ah, very true. Do you know what information an Ubuntu box can provide over SNMP? [16:55] * brett__ searches for clonezilla [16:55] BrooksW, However, I'd recommend replacing telnet with SSH [16:55] you can start up 11.04 in "classic mode" [16:55] Trillian: yeah it can get messy... I know ceni is curses but have not ran it in ubuntu, [16:55] BrooksW, I have no idea :P One of my friends once did stuff with SNMP. That is all I know. [16:55] desu: I agree, the trouble is that the AMX controller can only talk raw IP, not SSH. [16:56] 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] BrooksW, Oh.. That is kind of not-so-secure [16:56] desu: We have it locked down to only allow connections from that controller, so I think we're alright. [16:56] damian_-__, try metacity --replace [16:56] hmmm ... raw IP ... makes me think of suchi [16:56] BrooksW, Ahh, that's alright, then [16:56] sushi [16:57] brett__: right... [16:57] when i execute "blkid", i do not see my /boot. does this mean that it does not have a UUID? hence, how should i amend my /etc/fstab? [16:57] works fine, but agin no compiz effects. they are enabled in simple conpizconfi settings manager [16:57] w00tw00t, did you use sudo? [16:57] Is there any other sound controll center than gnome volume control and alsamixer ? [16:57] yes [16:58] I need to select what channels that have sound [16:58] this happened after i upgraded to natty from lucid [16:58] raidghost, pulse volume control [16:58] hence, my /boot cant be mounted automatically every bootup [16:58] hi, i am currently on windows but when i try to boot ubuntu after ubuntu is full of memory it gets stuck on the ubuntu logo screen, how do i fix it [16:58] Trillian: you could try wicd-ncurses [16:58] Trillian: you could try wicd-curses [16:59] robin0800: main.c pa_pid_file create() failed [16:59] Trillian: no 'n' [16:59] Can someone give me a tip why my screen is deactivated when gdm starts?

Laptop gets super slow, when it's logged on the main profile. System monitor shows many kworker processes. But when I log in to my secondary profile, everything works just fine. What to do? Running Ubuntu 11.04 [17:01] robin0800 is there any command to check that those drivers are enabled. or to enable them? [17:02] cheater15: is your physical mouse a USB plug in type? [17:02] so in trying to fix my wireless under 11.04, I'm on this step of the troubleshooting guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/internet/C/troubleshooting-wireless.html#troubleshooting-wireless-device but the output of lshw doesn't seem to include any of the words indicating the status of the device. [17:02] who wants to help me? [17:02] With what? [17:02] afternoon all [17:02] my ubuntu wont boot after i filled all the memory [17:02] is it possible to resize my ubuntu partition to have space to install windows? [17:02] ejay: it'd be much easier to resize the partitions from a live CD using gpart. [17:03] ejay - install aeseus. decent partition manager [17:03] @@ [17:03] my live cd suddenly wont boot [17:03] or is it better to just run a virtual machine? [17:03] I've had the same problem. [17:03] would aeseus support the ubuntu partition? [17:03] Never found a solution. [17:03] yes [17:03] raidghost, whats that got to do with the pulse audio volume control and multimedia systems selector (hidden menu entry) [17:05] how do i resize my ubuntu partition? [17:05] robin0800: not quite sure. [17:05] easeus doesnt work for me, i have it already [17:05] TurkuSama: try using gparted [17:06] test [17:06] gparted? *googles* === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [17:07] Oh no. Someones writing another IRC client... [17:07] But why! [17:07] TurkuSama, It's better to install windows first, then resize the partition, and only after that, install Ubuntu. Still, you can resize Ubuntu partition first, but you will mess with some complications, what I don't recommend you to do. http://goo.gl/jFM1q more information here === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest52670 === Nappz-Zzz is now known as Nappz [17:09] anyone have 11.04 running within a hyper-v machine [17:09] easeus doesnt work for me, i already tried it [17:09] jeremymcs, nope [17:10] my ubuntu wont boot, PLEASE HELP ME [17:10] ejay: we don't know what you did to break it [17:11] i think its out of memory [17:11] and its stuck on the boot logo [17:11] ejay: how much does it have now? [17:11] ejay: is the network connected? [17:11] Out of memory? What exactly do you mean by that? [17:12] sevoxx: he has one of those old 16M memory sticks [17:12] lol [17:12] meh. Ok I downloaded the ISO using firefox and the checksums don't match. Is there a way I can use curl, wget, rsync, etc to redownload the file without having to do the whole thing from scratch? [17:12] yes and i just checked on my partion manager and it says: 90GB used out of 90GB [17:12] ejay: that's disk space ... plenty [17:12] (host system is also ubuntu, just to clarify) [17:13] ejay: how much RAM? if you think that is an issue? (should have 512M, but 256M can still work) [17:13] but ever since i used up all the disk space it wont boot [17:13] ejay, delete all your pr0n [17:13] i have 2GB of RAM (i think.....) [17:13] ejay, So you don't mean actual memory? You mean HDD space? [17:13] ejay: boot from a CD, mount the partition, delete some wasteful files like your pr0n collection, unmount, reboot disk [17:14] yeah, sorry, im new to this [17:14] ejay: that's OK ... as long as you don't mind we asking you 42 gajillion questions to figure out what you do mean [17:14] fatal_ERROR777, i cant seem to get networking to work on it .. very odd === TonyBurn is now known as TONYBURN [17:15] how do i boot from the cd? [17:15] ejay: how did you install ubuntu to begin with? [17:15] i had someone install ubuntu for me [17:15] ejay: call them ... if you couldn't install, you can't fix it [17:15] hallo [17:15] ejay: You boot the CD in the drive, change the bios to boot from CD, and turn on the computer. [17:15] well i did install it but all of a sudden it wont boot [17:15] Skaperen: He can learn [17:16] edbian: OK ... you're up! [17:16] anyone using netbook edtion? [17:16] Skaperen: :) [17:16] i have a dell dimension E510 [17:16] testcompile: I tried it once, does that count? [17:16] I can't seem to right click xchat panel to send it to another workspace? [17:16] testcompile: count me as 0.25 [17:17] did you like it I have asus eepc I was thing of dropping it on [17:17] ejay: This can probably help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD [17:17] ejay: Do you have another way of getting on the internet, so we can guide you through the booting? [17:17] 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 [17:18] testcompile: so I have plain ubuntu on my eeepc [17:18] gotcha this machine only has 500megs of RAM so I thought it might be kewl [17:18] hello there, what's the best customizable graphical IRC client for Linux?

[17:18] f3rland, customizable.. No idea. Have you used x-chat? [17:19] got the 900 120 beans [17:19] TurkuSama: I mean one in which we can add some script like in mIRC [17:19] kewl what do you use it for skaperen? [17:19] need advice guys: which version I should install: ubuntu 10.04 or 11.4 [17:19] X-chat. [17:19] which one is more stable? [17:19] 11.04 to start with [17:20] f3rland, xchat [17:20] X-chat has TCL scripting support. [17:20] pyQ: 10.4 will have less bugs [17:20] if you don't like 11.04 try 10.04.2 [17:20] pyQ: 10.04* sorry [17:20] I need a stable one, probably not willing reinstall diso in 2 yrs === trolling is now known as trolling|a [17:20] oh [17:20] thanks folks, i'll give it a try [17:20] hi [17:20] im on 11.04 now, nothing different [17:20] pyQ: 10.4.2 [17:20] thanks edbian [17:20] then go for 10.04.2 [17:20] pyQ: sure [17:21] * Skaperen puts 10.04.2 on his servers at work [17:21] lol === torgeir is now known as Fonzie- [17:21] oh zsync does partial redownloads, excellent [17:21] Skaperen is 11.04 that much better I'm still on Maverick [17:21] anyone here using xchat? [17:21] me [17:21] have you installed any themes? [17:21] mand0, yes [17:22] testcompile: 11.04 is much different than other Ubuntu releases. Is it better? That's opinionb [17:22] 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] mand0,no [17:22] 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] I hate the defult look to xchat, and I want to install themes like I had with windows [17:22] ok... is 10.04 support newest hardware, I intend to install it one brand-new notebook : hp-pavilion-dv6-3362sf [17:22] I was just reading an interview with linus and he was talking about the need for install upgrades as be not as important as maint.. [17:22] fatal_ERROR777, ha, its on. i have an ip. it grabs via dhcp .. but cannot ping out or surf [17:22] hi [17:22] 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] when I play the movie in the examples folder it is fine, just the stuff I've downloaded. [17:22] <- this notebook just released last month, but 10.04 has released 1-1.5 yrs ago [17:23] 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] yeah this machine has an NVIDIA 7300 LE and there is a driver prob [17:23] Please help? [17:23] I installed the gpl 3d drivers and it helped a little [17:24] kann mir das jemand erklaeren?

Though the package is installed, I can't find it from the Panels list! It was there in Lucid. [17:26] coco, its hideous [17:26] is it possible to restore things from a ceratin amount oft time? [17:26] Chazzd, sure if your taking backups [17:26] coco 8/10 [17:26] pyQ so you have 64 bit hardware and > 3.2Gb of ram? [17:26] dont like unity, login in classic mode [17:26] jeremymcs: oh oh you dont like it [17:26] if anyone wants the URL to the Linus Torvalds interview I can post it to channel if that is ok recent interview [17:26] pyQ: do* [17:26] pyQ: Didn't mean to sound rude :) [17:26] I can't try unity its why i ask...vbox dont let me use it [17:26] yes [17:26] coco, i think only a handfull of people so far ive found like it [17:27] hp-pavilion-dv6-3362sf [17:27] jeremymcs: well i tryed to install a library and i exited by mistake, messing up my pc [17:27] coco unity 2d is great [17:27] ok wth, zsync just aborts randomly with no errors. [17:27] pyQ: then try 64 bit! The point of it is that you can use more than 3.2 Gb of ram :) [17:27] Chazzd, what library ? [17:27] jeremymcs: I saw a review on 11.04...the guy called it the best ubuntu ever [17:27] Umm one sec [17:28] :( I just need it super solid [17:28] http://www.laptopspirit.fr/89528/hp-pavilion-dv6-3362sf-156-pouces-radeon-hd6550m-1-to-core-i5-a-699-euros.html [17:28] coco, yeah, every new version of something is "the best" [17:28] this hardware [17:28] jeremymcs, Do you have a wired or a wireless network? [17:28] sudo apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2-dev jeremymcs [17:28] wired [17:28] not sure if 10.04 will support it [17:28] Chazzd, that wouldnt break your system [17:28] jeremymcs: what's your issue with it...speed? [17:28] too many bugs?? [17:28] Chazzd, whats it doing ? [17:28] 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] coco, unity is 15 clicks to many [17:28] Wel las soon as i try to get onto ubuntu [17:29] the mouse and keyboard dont work [17:29] jeremymcs: I don't click at all with unity o.0 [17:29] jeremymcs: I see....thats annoying [17:29] Chazzd, ctrl+alt+f1; login [17:29] hypetech: pyQ: He just listed a laptop that has 4 Gb of ram === mang0_ is now known as mang0 [17:29] edbian: that doesn't mean he's going to be using it all [17:29] Chazzd, try to apt-get update; apt-get upgrade [17:29] and for some reason i cant downlaod anything to my temp folder in windows [17:29] ok [17:30] the thing is my keyboard doesnt work unless im in recovery [17:30] jeremydei, if you set it up right it is not too bad and nothing is more than 3 clicks away [17:30] Hi , How can i copy all the contents of my / partition and make the new one the / partition ? [17:30] Chazzd, virtual ? [17:30] ashmew2, dd [17:30] Dual boot [17:30] 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] hypetech: ? why else would you buy it? [17:31] Chazzd, if you boot into ubuntu, unplug your mouse/keys .. give it 10 seconds then plug it in [17:31] ctrl+alt+f1 should work though [17:31] pyQ: i'm still on lucid ;) [17:31] Chazzd, assuming their usb [17:31] Yea [17:31] but its wierd since it didnt do that before [17:32] jeremymcs : thanks :) [17:32] 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] jeremymcs, oh sorry, I have to go [17:32] I would recommend lucid for a stable ubuntu..you still get updates till 2013 [17:33] 32 bit vs 64 bit , what makes them different? [17:33] 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] pyQ, 32 [17:33] sans bit diff [17:33] jeremymcs , i think it deleted files and was going to replace them, but i closed it by accident before it fixed [17:33] running 10.4 [17:33] 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 [17:34] if i upgrade to natty narwhal, do you think it would restore the default files like gedit and such [17:34] Chazzd, development files for SDL1.2 mixer library .. would not break your system [17:34] 32 / 64 vote: 2:1 [17:34] ok I see edbian, I will go for 32 then [17:34] jeremymcs: it will copy the boot flags etc as well ? [17:34] thanks all... [17:34] pyQ: sure [17:34] Chazzd: about a clean install? [17:34] for your kind sugguestions.. [17:34] ashmew2, if you tell it to [17:34] k thx [17:35] ashmew2, dd if=/dev/sda of/dev/sdb [17:35] I woould do that, except i need some of my code and files fro mthere [17:35] hi guys [17:35] Has anyone had any luck with the Alienware M11X R3's with ubuntu 11.04? Managed to install it, everything works except when I install the nvidia drivers.

[17:35] of=/dev/sdb* [17:35] i need your help [17:35] i tried to use netbeans 7.0 for php in ubuntu and it's too slow [17:36] WOA. Does anybody know why running md5sum on a file might result in a different sum each time?!! [17:36] jeremymcs: kk [17:36] is the file changing, systemparadox? [17:36] SystemParadox: is the file being changed? [17:36] jeremymcs coco the thing is, it was deleting and replacing files when it got closed [17:36] someone writing to it? [17:36] Chazzd, then just re-install it [17:36] Ubuntu? [17:36] any of you guys using xchat themes? [17:37] 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] yeah that's what I thought was the only possible way, but as far as I can work out, there isn't [17:37] jeremymcs wont that get rid of the files in my ubuntu partition [17:37] hey everyone. What would cause a mouse pointer to flash intermittently. Seems to coincide with when the hard drive reads/writes.

[17:57] amd64, do you have a flash drive? [17:58] ya [17:58] amd64, you cant, unless you have the install package [17:58] 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] ddilinger: if it is a bash-script set -x is a good start, else "strace program" is the hardcore-debug version [17:58] anybody know of a ppa for netbeans 7? the offical ubuntu repo only has 6.9 [17:58] 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] !offline | amd64 [17:58] 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.

[18:01] i hate how i updated ubuntu 10.10 to the next 1 and lost all my internet connections [18:01] 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] amd64: you can use http://paste.ubuntu.com/604521/ to back up deb packages [18:01] i am having that problem as well [18:02] if i connect an ethernet cable between my linux desktop and a windows laptop, will file sharing be possible? [18:02] 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] SystemParadox: natty-desktop-i386.iso isn't an official file name [18:02] i have to alt-cntl-del then everything starts working again [18:02] 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] SystemParadox: I have no iso with 'natty-desktop' in it, it's 11.04 [18:02] daniturn: upgrading can cause issues. Are there any bugs logged? [18:02] ruan, 1000Mbps? "usual" cable? [18:02] bla bla bla. [18:02] ethernet cable why just do usb to usb [18:02] rumpe1: i guess, havent recieved the cable yet [18:03] cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/daily-live/current/natty-desktop-i386.iso [18:03] usb is too slow for me [18:03] 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] i had the worse nighmare getting dvds to work today [18:03] ruan: NEVER...NEVER Connect two PCs with a USB...NEVER [18:04] ashmew2: why not? [18:04] ruan: get a hub , fet two ethernet cables , all is well [18:04] ashmew2: yeah i meant usb flash drives, transfer speed was slow [18:04] SystemParadox: that is from pre-release, this is where you should be downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ [18:04] ruan: oh kk [18:04] a hub? [18:04] how to combine two .deb into one [18:04] ive run usb to usb on another laptop was fine [18:04] Prasoon: why do you want to do that? [18:04] oCean, I want rsync, releases.ubuntu.com does not support it, and zsync is BUGGED [18:04] ruan: yeah , an ethernet port switch or something...like it has 4 or 5 or 10 ethernet ports for putting computers over a lan. [18:05] hi, sorry if this channel is wrong, but I had an issue when downgrading from natty to lucid. [18:05] ashmew2: usb lan is simple and works [18:05] ActionParsnip: whats next :) ? [18:05] ashmew2: also curious, why not (2 usb connected computers)? [18:05] 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] scott__: downgrading isn't really supported [18:05] ok is there anyway to get tv on here without all the complications od mythtv [18:05] Help, I upgraded to 10.10 and now my video is not working... what can I do [18:05] ashmew2, Yes, why not? [18:05] 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] ashmew2: cant i just connect them with an ethernet cable? whats the hub for [18:05] 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 [18:06] krambal: for what? [18:06] daiturn: mythtv is more of a database telling ivtv when to record, mythtv doesn't actually do anything tv driver stuff [18:06] oh you just told me :P [18:06] which matches the md5sums in the link you gave earlier. This is driving me mad [18:06] 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] ruan: you can use crossover cable for p2p but you will need to set IPs manually [18:06] newbie007 than what should i be using because thats what ive been told to use [18:06] i tried to use netbeans 7.0 for php in ubuntu and it's too slow ... i m newbie btw [18:07] bah this is my vmware application info not my actual machine grrr [18:07] daniturn: vlc, mplayer, you can also cat to a file [18:07] Help, I upgraded to 10.10 and now my video is not working... what can I do [18:07] aha! my fault, I forgot to tell rsync to '-c' [18:07] I had the same experience with netbeans. Too slow. I went to eclipse, although its a bit confusing. [18:07] newbie007: what for live tv [18:08] daniturn: the physical hardware just creates a mpeg or jpeg, it's live or with a 5 second lag [18:08] 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] so how would i go bout doing that with a dvb-t stick [18:08] 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] scott__: when are you getting this error? [18:09] daniturn: the goal of mythtv is to connect a database of tv shows, with a recording, it also can delete commericals [18:09] scott__: have you considered upgrading shotwell [18:09] surskitty - Immediately after I click on the icon to start shotwell [18:09] Hay all, folks. Is there a way to buy from itunes music store without wine? [18:09] daniturn: the database is kind of nice, you can "SELECT tvshow where name like '*star trek*'" [18:09] scott__: then ... upgrade it to 0.9.2? [18:10] newbie007: ive tried everythin and still dont know where to start [18:10] 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] 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] andsch: no, ituns uses propritary protocols so the only way iswith itunes [18:10] sacres me when i see those updating comments.... [18:10] scares* [18:10] chazzd: no ive done that before [18:10] surskitty: I'm sorry, I'm a noobie, and didn't know if there was a PPA. [18:10] @Chazzd - because its windows.... [18:10] Chazzd: did the permissions get changed on the directory? [18:10] does shotwell by now support a hirachy in the tags? (like f-spot does)? [18:10] Chazzd: windows is offtopic here [18:10] Chazzd: this channel is for ubuntu support, please be patient in the appropriate channel [18:10] 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] hmmm... ok, that sucks, tho. :/ === foxy is now known as Guest45781 [18:11] andsch: its apple, what did you expect [18:11] Its ju that this only happened after i canceld the installation of a library on ubuntu and everything went wierd [18:11] andsch: they are one of the most short sighted closed mided companies around [18:11] Chazzd: why not doing a clean install [18:11] Chazzd: where are you running ubuntu? [18:12] this is confusing why cant it be as simple as windows media center on windows [18:12] 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] daniturn: what you talking about [18:12] 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] playing dvds? [18:12] daniturn: xbmc is pretty neat [18:12] scott__: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/i386/shotwell/download or http://yorba.org/shotwell/install/ looks promising [18:12] Actually I think they were pretty visionary on allowing people to buy individual sound files on the go. [18:12] Im gonna do a clean install of linux t osee if it clears u pthe problem [18:12] daniturn: check out Boxee [18:12] coco: setting up live tv from a dvb-t stick [18:12] andsch: it wasn't their idea [18:12] well actaully im gonna upgrade it in recovery [18:13] daniturn: oh nvm boxee won't help you with live tv [18:13] andsch: yeah if you run theright OS, other companies allow ALL OSes free reign [18:13] They were in sync with the eon urge to obsolete the compact disc media. [18:13] i need a newbie way of doing it [18:13] ive got boxee [18:13] hypetech daniturn: the hardware doesn't matter [18:13] daniturn: once you setup the tv card, any app can use it [18:13] daniturn: just use vlc [18:13] surskitty: do I need to upgrade through a ppa, or manually download a deb file? [18:13] vlc is good for that daniturn [18:13] scott__: pretty sure either works [18:14] daniturn: if you haven't setup thetv device then it won't work. [18:14] how do i it up set up [18:14] brb [18:14] Hmm, lets see. Natty is 11.04 and this guy says he upgraded his natty to 10.10. Something not right about this picture.

[18:28] coco: course it can [18:28] 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] it's definitely old and lacking in features, though [18:28] ActionParsnip: yeah, but does gnome-mplayer have all those features [18:28] do i need to edit the gdm sessions? [18:28] gnomeplayer is the one that cant play url [18:28] does ubuntu still use gdm? [18:28] ah [18:29] gilesw: yes it does [18:29] ta reisio [18:29] gilesw: log out [18:29] gilesw: choose a user name, then before entering a password, at the bottom, select 'Ubuntu', IIRC [18:29] i dont know why they stopped mplayer-gui...i heard they stop doing it [18:29] (as opposed to 'Ubuntu Classic') [18:29] thats the thing it hasn't selected classic [18:29] coco: because it was really old and underdeveloped, and better alternatives existed [18:30] is it possible to use kdm on gnome? [18:30] gilesw: what's it selected? [18:30] does anyone know the PPA for winepulse? their website is always down [18:30] ruan: yes, but goofy [18:30] just ubuntu [18:30] i tried but window decorations didnt work [18:30] coco: it can play urls, theshortcut is ctrl+L [18:30] i think it's decided i don't have the hardware [18:30] ActionParsnip: thnx! [18:30] gilesw: so what's the problem? [18:30] smplayer is much better [18:30] when i ran compiz then it crashed [18:30] so the ubuntu session loads gn 2 [18:30] ActionParsnip: thx for the trick [18:30] could've tried metacity [18:30] i'm going to check the actual session config file [18:30] 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] so impressed by the new installer [18:30] In other words, what would be the grub equilivant of lilo's line(s) "vga = normal" and/or append="nomodeset" [18:30] ? [18:31] 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] most painless install of any os for me ever [18:31] usr13: in /etc/default/grub in the quotes with: quiet splash [18:31] gilesw: the livecd installer? [18:31] 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] ActionParsnip: well they didn't finish it, I guess [18:31] ya [18:31] mplayer has a lot of features [18:31] The both screens have panels for some reason [18:31] I've never seen a GUI that can easily utilize them _all_ [18:31] gilesw: is it much more different than the 10.10 one? [18:32] mplayer is the bomb [18:32] usr13: run: sudo update-grub after edittin / saving the file [18:32] ^ [18:32] love it [18:32] i haven't installed bunty in a while [18:32] on desktop mind [18:32] reisio: what options do you believe are missing? [18:32] ok still no luck with avi file?? zs1otb?? [18:32] no. mplayer2 is the bomb. [18:32] is anyone experiencing video tearing on 11.04 with nvidia graphics card? [18:32] ActionParsnip: from what? [18:32] it's dev is very manly. [18:32] its* [18:32] gilesw: i fund xpudeasier, doesnt ask any questions ;) [18:32] mplayer2 is a joke [18:33] reisio: well you are saying gnome mplayer is missing sometings. Maybe I can find them for you [18:33] mplayer2 ??? [18:33] ActionParsnip: as compared to smplayer [18:33] is there a console-based video player which converts to text? [18:33] ActionParsnip: Right now, quiet splash do not have quotes around them.... [18:33] coco: don't give it a second thought [18:33] lol [18:34] yes, the vanguardeous media player forked from the each day more relapse mplayer [18:34] reisio: yes but what is missing, i your eyes? [18:34] coco: some dork's attempt to usurp the mplayer name [18:34] ActionParsnip: We're talking grub2 here, right? [18:34] lol [18:34] ActionParsnip: (I suppose it would be the same for grub1 as well as grub2...?) [18:34] hello all [18:34] 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] usr13: they should, yes grub2. here is my file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/604531/ [18:34] Im looking for some help getting rt3070sta driver to work. [18:34] hey can plymouth be changed easily?? or is it still a pain in the arse? [18:35] ActionParsnip: as compared to smplayer, or in general? [18:35] usr13: grub legacy uses temenu.lst file and is cumbersome [18:35] jonas_: that's pretty nice... [18:35] 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] Could someone tell me where Gedit Plugins go in Gnome 3? [18:35] jonas_: could put it into /usr/local/bin/, though [18:35] 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? [18:36] i blacklisted rt2870sta and rt28xx but it doesnt seem to work. [18:36] reisio: i'll makeit easy: what features are in smplayer which aren't in (or you cannot locate) in gnome-mplayer?? [18:36] http://www.mplayer2.org/comparison.html <- mplayer2 is lightyears ahead of mplayer. [18:36] also a lsmod shows rt3070 loaded but no device using the driver. [18:36] idea? [18:36] astropirate: gnome3 isnt supported here [18:36] ? [18:36] ActionParsnip: dunno [18:36] Fixed my previous problem.. [18:37] what's the inverse of pidof ? [18:37] ActionParsnip: Mine doesn't look like that. (See: http://pastebin.com/q82G9muL ) [18:37] Is it possible to get Windows 7 style icons for the window changer? No titles, just icons [18:37] usr13: you DON'T edit grub.cfg. READ the top 10 lines of the file... [18:37] ActionParsnip: Maybe it's because I'm LTS (which has been through 3 dist-upgrades)..? [18:37] ActionParsnip: Oh.....yea [18:38] usr13: grub2 is grub2 in any distribution [18:38] usr13: try using eyes, it helps [18:38] usr13: I also said to edit /etc/default/grub [18:38] usr13: I never even mentioned rub.cfg so why you are messing with that file is anyones guess [18:38] http://pastebin.com/LHgpR4PL is the error i am getting when i try and run my bluray [18:38] any ideas [18:39] help with wireless usb card please anyone? [18:39] hello guy [18:39] actually, grub2 is THE grub in every distribution. [18:39] Your computer can't be complete without it. [18:39] bindi: sure, grab an icon pack from www.gnome-look.org [18:39] so im back [18:39] hello [18:39] andsch: some distros use Lilo [18:39] clean install daniturn ??? [18:39] spetrea: you could try htop [18:39] 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] ActionParsnip: hum I mean.. you know, the taskbar? or window changer.. whatever [18:39] i need a newbie guide to guide me how set up live tv with a dvb-t stick [18:39] oh it wasn't you sorry...oops [18:39] Hi guys , i want to burn an iso image to a DVD .. not sure how in ubuntu .. any pointers please .. [18:40] what is the modern ubuntu way of setting up console frame buffers? [18:40] ActionParsnip: so there's no titles of the windows, just the icon of the program [18:40] ActionParsnip: These are subpar distros. True distroes use grub2. [18:40] does anyone knows how to control screen brightness on ubuntu [18:40] ActionParsnip: like a dock, embedded in the panel [18:40] triyo: you should be able to artificially boost it with pulse or jack [18:40] I'm running 11.04 [18:40] mplayer can use -af volume=10, etc. [18:40] ActionParsnip: Grub2 is so awesome some distroes ship only with it installed, nothing more. [18:40] mehdi: power management [18:40] I would take my clothes out for grub2 any day. [18:40] reisio was that towards me [18:40] 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] mapper (striped) (1.5 TB)" [18:40] andsch: gentoo gives the option of both [18:40] Chipzzz: thx [18:40] reisio: what do you mean by pulse or jack? [18:41] spetrea: yw [18:41] andsch: users have choice, just because you dislike an application doesn't mean it is the gospel [18:41] bindi: i believe it is dockbarx [18:41] Sound used to be higher, its gone far to low lately. Must have happened after installing something lately. [18:41] i m running ubuntu 11.4 but there is no such a thing like controling screen bithness [18:41] ActionParsnit: But grub2 is the sex. === sm is now known as Guest24457 [18:42] 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] andsch: to you maybe [18:42] I have lost my virginity to grub2 [18:42] ActionParsnip: that isnt embedded in the panel [18:42] andsch: youmay think similar of ubuntu wheras others dislike it [18:42] andsch: I should do that [18:42] hello, how to know if unity is enabled and how to disable it? [18:42] bindi: can you expand on your needs [18:42] ActionParsnip: actually it is :-) sec let me try [18:42] anyone be able help me set up live tv with a dvb-t stick [18:42] Also I installed alsamixer and it shows a wrong sound card. ("HDMI" type..) [18:42] bindi: thought so ;) [18:42] 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] donkeyinspace: you would know if it were enabled [18:43] donkeyinspace: did you log into the Ubuntu session? are you running 11.04? [18:43] donkeyinspace: if yes to both, you're running unity [18:43] see you guys later :) [18:43] does anyone know if the custom option for preferred applications is coming back? [18:43] donkeyinspace: when you log in it lets you choose ubuntu , or ubuntu classic... ubuntu has unity, ubuntu classic doesnt [18:43] lwizardl: 3) look into nautilus scripts [18:43] lwizardl, all thinks I want to know :) [18:43] lwizardl: 2) look in ccsm [18:43] how to reduce screen bithness [18:44] mehdi [18:44] needlez , dont see that option when logging [18:44] ActionParsnip: Done. And grub-update reported no errors, so does that mean that I have not syntax errors? [18:44] live tv anyone [18:44] *no not not [18:44] lwizardl: ubuntu tweak has a few you can enable easily, or you can download scripts online [18:44] you can either see if there are any buttons on your actual moniter [18:44] or google [18:44] !google how to change brightness in ubuntu [18:44] usr13: if update-grub ran smooth then all should be ok, reboot to test [18:44] I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ [18:44] fuu [18:45] donkeyinspace: if your on 11.04 you have that choice, on the bottom bar when you login [18:45] someone should put a !google command in, shouldn't be too hard [18:45] ActionParsnip: Ok. [18:45] I can make ubottu say things [18:45] needlez , thanks [18:45] mang0: it's not there on purpose. just giving the googles is not really encouraged... we have official documentation and stuff [18:45] donkeyinspace: np [18:45] fair nuf LjL [18:46] live tv help anyone [18:46] mehdi: screen brightness is in Power Management somewhere [18:46] daniturn: whats the problem exactly [18:46] i checked but i couldnt find it [18:46] setting up live tv im neewbie here i have a dvb-t stick [18:46] Hi folks. Can anyone help getting cpu coretemps from a Dell GX620 that is totally void of external sensors? The Core2 Duo sensors don't seem to be available in Lucid LTS. [18:47] daniturn, I think you mean LiveCD [18:47] not LiveTV [18:47] ? [18:47] no live tv [18:47] daniturn: run: lsusb one line will identify the device,us the 8 character hex id to find guides [18:47] system>preferences>powermangement> should come up with display set brightness [18:47] whats live TV?!

Thats illegal if it's live and you have no licence...(in UK anyway) [18:48] LetterRip: report it on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com [18:48] A lot of hardware for convenience access - buttons, sound wheels - etc. not work out of the box [18:48] its just tv that can watch on computer... [18:48] 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] a possible way to fix this - is to have the user activate the button etc [18:48] well we gathered that otherwise i wouldnt have a usb tv stick [18:49] and have the hardware listening for signals [18:49] hmm I looked in /usr/share/xsessions and I don't have a unity xsession file [18:49] and once it finds a new item [18:49] you can assign it [18:49] could someone look in their directory? [18:49] to the appropriate function [18:49] daniturn: lspci so we can know what the device is exactly to look it up [18:49] hi [18:49] gilesw: I have a "unity-2d.desktop" [18:49] or lsusb if its usb stick version [18:49] mang0: to remove an item from a menu, right click on the menu, click on 'edit menus' and uncheck the shortcut [18:50] hmm hypetech i don't have that [18:50] hi [18:50] hi, so just install 11.04 and my GUI doesn't work. I never get a login screen, it just goes black, ps auwx doesn't even show gdm or gnome running...any ideas? [18:50] just gnome ones [18:50] hello [18:50] it's the only thing that cocked up on my install [18:50] ah, thanks chipzzz! :) what about my other question? any idea?

AF9015/AF9035 DVB-T stick [18:50] wadds up [18:50] ubuntu didn't install the restricted nvidia drivers and modified the default ubuntu session to be gnome 2 [18:51] I also have an nvidia 9600 and duel screens [18:51] i installed the drivers and want to give unity a try.. [18:51] 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] What are you talking about? [18:51] daniturn: ok now use that to findguides [18:51] Hmmmppph.... Unity has broken my apps UI [18:51] Chipzzz, can I move the file/s once I have them? [18:52] mang0: unlikely... you'll confuse the system [18:52] bother. [18:52] hi [18:52] lol [18:52] what? [18:53] 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] ok this is confusing looking up guides [18:54] mang0: you can try it but I don't think it will work [18:54] ;__; [18:55] Everytime I try to open an emulator or install Yahoo Msgr, I get this output in the terminal wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\plugplay.exe [18:55] Of course, there are like dozens of more code than that, but I think that is the main reason [18:55] Chipzzz, there must be a way to do it though..... [18:56] command line for being able run dvds [18:56] ? [18:57] Hello... Does anyone know of a decent mysql database viewer for 10.10? [18:57] is anyone installed netbean 7 on ubuntu 11.4? [18:57] mang0: there probably is but off the top of my head it sounds like more trouble than it's worth [18:57] DarkStar1: try mysql-admin [18:57] gilesw: I just checked on my desktop which also runs unity, and I don't have a unity file in that xsessions directory [18:57] Hi, ubuntu ram usage is currently at 850MiB, is there a way to reduce that ?

I want to go back to regular gnome interface. How do I do that? [18:57] julian_c: thanks [18:58] 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] i get the following error - http://pastebin.com/dw7Latex - when i try and install GGZ gaming. [18:58] NotNotSure: log out, at the log in screen select Ubuntu Classic [18:58] is there a way to make 10.10 look like 11.04 with out updating? [18:58] 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 [18:59] I selected ubuntu classic, and it looked no differant Vhozard... [18:59] i get the following error - http://pastebin.com/dw7Latex - when i try and install GGZ gaming. [18:59] daniturn: install unity [18:59] what is freenodes support channel? [18:59] #freenode [18:59] ? [18:59] DarkStar1: also be sure to install the mysql-query-browser package. [18:59] daniturn: no offense but I don't know why u'd wanna bother doin that though [18:59] 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] How can I change the color of Indicator Applet Complete? It doesnt match the panel color. [19:00] I currently use bluetile as my window manager (gnome + bluetile) [19:00] because 11.04 didnt reconize my wifi here [19:00] Or even better, why does having a >24px thick panel and "none (use system theme)" color make it have 2 colors? [19:00] 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] 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] when i updated [19:00] Chipzzz can I not just unhide the folders in my my home folder (.whatever) and move it somewhere else? [19:00] kdelooping: The default system everyone uses is EXT4 [19:00] julian_c: I'll try get them from the repos now [19:00] daniturn: i meant y bother making it look like unity? unity is a cluttered mess [19:01] kdelooping: You can use ext3 for great compatability however (it will not be as fast though) [19:01] i liked some of it [19:01] hi i installed ubuntu 11.04 amd64 and my laptop turn off suddenly. I think kernel problem any help??? [19:01] 11.04 has real issues [19:01] 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] 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... [19:02] I just realized that (with respect to the error) that my .Xresources has the definition of the misssing s_base03 [19:02] did something change about the use of .Xresources in natty? [19:02] mang0: the problem is that games usually install in /opt or /usr/somethingOrOther [19:02] ah [19:02] dammit [19:02] :S [19:02] Hi, don't know if this is the right place to say but, I have a 11.04 mythbuntu install, set to auto login. I have an emachine er1402 and when I suspend and then resume the screen is grabled, if I ssh in to the machine and sudo killall Xorg and then login, I can suspend and resume ok until the next reboot. Any suggestions? Thanks [19:02] julian_c: can I tunnel connections through with this software? [19:03] computermobob: the computer may not properly support suspend === meisth0th_zzz is now known as meisth0th [19:04] sorry, my internet cut for a second... did anyone answer my question as to how to recover the two files? [19:04] hypetech, it works ok if I kill Xorg the first time it fails [19:04] Does wicd work better then network manger? [19:05] does anyone know if something changes with the treatment of .Xresources with respect to some set of packages natty might install? [19:05] Hi, im looking for help disabling on board wifi because im using a better usb one [19:05] I seem to be having trouble specifically with a TK application [19:05] err TCL [19:05] How do I go about fixing the wifi program that keeps showing "disconnected" even though i am surrounded by wifi networks [19:05] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OBZyAb8gvE&feature=related [19:06] how do I disable ubuntuone-syncdaemon ?

What do I type? something like.. cp my_site/ ftp://login:pass:server2.com/sites/ ? [19:07] I just resolved my own problem. it appears for some reason my .Xresources was not getting loaded. I was able to fix it using xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources [19:08] tensorpudding: how do I get to the startup applications.. learning unity :-) [19:08] axisys: hit window key, type "startup", hit enter twice [19:08] axisys, only tried it briefly but maybe applications and type startup [19:08] webistic: no, you will need to run: ftp user:pass@server2.com then use put to upload the file. [19:09] DarkStar1: tunneling does not appear to be directly available in the application. However, you should be able to set up SSH tunneling, and use that. [19:09] I am having a command line issue.

Im not sure where to check this, but check in /var/logs for where it is trying to load the wireless driver. [19:14] I have a question about proxies - TOR in particular- in Ubuntu and Chrome, when I go to Chrome setup and change the proxy to use my localhost:9050 on the Socks host, and I click the "Apply System-Wide" button, does that mean as it says, everything on my machine is now using the TOR network to connect to the internet? [19:14] Oops [19:14] axisys: you can re-enable CAB in the keyboard settings [19:14] Lol, I ment ping as in mention me [19:14] ;) [19:14] mang0_: ping [19:14] hypetech: i did change it .. but that does not logout ..

[19:17] axisys: tick the box which says CTRL+ALT+ackSpace [19:17] angelic, dmesg not showing any errors... not quite sure where to go from there... for me the problem was my rt3070 driver was looking to load /etc/RT2870STA but the make install made RT3070STA folder instead. making new directory and droping files from one to the other solved my issue.

Luckily it can easily be changed back [19:20] I think something with ubiquity is going on: I run Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit live; I use GParted to create a logical partition and within that an ext4 partition and a swap partition. Next, I restart the computer and run Ubuntu live, again. I use GParted and see the partitions I created. However, the ext4 one has a red exclamation point after it; apparently it has a bad magic number. Any suggestions?

[19:22] i remeber changing it on 10.10 .. forgot :-) [19:22] ActionParsnip: Thanks [19:23] needlez: would another reason be that it seems I don't have ndiswrapper? [19:23] angelic: not sure maybe ndiswrapper was replaced with ndisgtk?

[19:28] Maverick [19:28] anyone here know is there a better version of the driver for the Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10)... I only ask cuz its the card that is built into my laptop, and I want to test with aircrack-ng if it becomes avaliable [19:28] it just makes all the bars and windows grey [19:28] hypetech: any way around this then? [19:28] Trillian: very strange [19:28] needlez: have you tried looking through the aircrack-ng website? [19:29] needlez: it isn't cause terminal doesn't want to recognize it as a "command" [19:29] How can I install gnome 3 in Ubuntu?? [19:29] hypetech: ah, In "preferred applications", ff is still default.. [19:29] bindi: I haven't seen one [19:29] needlez: the realtek site, you may need a patch [19:29] bindi: hmm [19:29] !gnome3 | krishnandu [19:29] krishnandu: 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. [19:29] anonymity: yea, ive checked havent found much [19:29] bindi: good call lol, that might work [19:29] hypetech: or it might have been me misclicking "set ff to default" when it opened instead of chrome :) [19:29] i'll check [19:30] www.google.com [19:30] yeah works [19:30] :p [19:30] Hello guys. I right clicked my Public folder, clicked sharing options and allowed sharing to guests and write access. When I browsed the computer from another on the network, $print appeared. I went back to the computer and installed 'Samba' from USC and in the application I saw the print share but not the public. Why is this? [19:30] bindi: hah awesome [19:30] hypetech: thanks :-) [19:30] hypetech: uninstall firefox and problem is solved :) [19:30] bindi: thank YOU :) [19:30] how can i get icons and themes in natty any link [19:30] Evening - what needs fixing when apt-get upgrade (nor dist-upgrade on a 10.04 system) does nothing at all, while the MOTD shows 35 updatable programs (21 security)? [19:30] ActionParsnip, Thanks, then I better leave it...I don't want my system to broke down. It's my primary os.

[19:33] holy crap, xchat must look really bad [19:33] temp: if you prefer it, use it [19:33] this thing is like a windows 3.1 app [19:33] mfpockets: just built in.

[19:33] !language | crlcan81 [19:33] crlcan81: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [19:33] mehdi, go to the terminal and type sudo su [19:33] ActionParsnip: wired [19:33] then change the passwd [19:33] mehdi: use your own user and use sudo when you need power [19:33] angelic, try the package from this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1314747 post 5 [19:34] angelic, lots of people say it works after that [19:34] mehdi: there is no administrator [19:34] I have to say, this has been the least successful update for me Unity freezes, in both unity and gnome the focus gets stuck on a single window, and you can't move to another one until you close said focused window. Flash takes up 100% CPU (both free and non-free), and 3D acceleration doesn't work. === Guybrush_Threepw is now known as Guybrush_88 [19:34] !noroot | temp [19:34] temp: We do not support setting a root password.

[19:35] so what is the super-user === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:35] mehdi: keeps your system more secure as there are fewer apps running with super powers [19:35] angelic, you can also try the ones on ralink website http://www.ralinktech.com/license_us.php?n=2&p=0&t=U0wyRnpjMlYwY3k4eU1ERXdMekV5THpFM0wyUnZkMjVzYjJGa09URTNNVFl4TkRrMk1TNTZhWEE5UFQweU1ERXdYekV5TVRkZlVsUTFNemt3WDB4cGJuVjRVMVJCWDFZeUxqUXVNQzQwWDFkcFJtbENWRU52YldKdlgwUlFUdz09Qw%3D%3D [19:36] natty makes me sad [19:36] mehdi: if you run: sudo -i you will have an admin terminal.

Its completely broken for me [19:37] *use [19:37] angelic, you will need make tools for sudo make, sudo make install [19:37] hey everybody [19:37] ActionParsnip: start of wrong direction for ubuntu, switching to new distro [19:37] codelurker: tried gnome classic? [19:37] codelurker: there are more DEs than gnome you know [19:37] i would like to know how the sudo command is safer than having a root account that you access, since you only need the password for the account in use to run a command with root priv. [19:37] has anyone here tried running 11.04 on vmware workstation 7.1? do you get problems with apearance as well? [19:37] codelurker: logging in to gnome clasic will make it look like maverick [19:38] mehdi: when you get prompted for your password when it asks for administrative priviledges, what it's doing is letting you run a particular application as the superuser [19:38] codelurker: I assume you are aware of this due to your bold statement [19:38] 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] 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] 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] 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] Glycan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:38] Trillian, i read online that unity isnt working under unity for vmware [19:38] ActionParsnip: the problems I have with Unity equally effect gnome classic [19:38] Trillian, didnt work for me when i tested it out in vmware [19:38] ActionParsnip: i know. ubuntu now = more headaches than worth. been a good run though [19:38] so how do i do that? [19:38] I wasn't using enter for punctiation, you damin robot! [19:38] i m confused [19:38] Hello, i was wondering how easy it would be to build ubuntu based system from the ubuntu server edition?(i want to avoid programs i don't need) [19:39] hello, after I upgraded to natty, I don't get video on avi file. what do I need to get? [19:39] Hi everyone! Will somebody point me where can I get some help regarding the Appindicator Python API? [19:39] codelurker: try XFCE or KDE or another DE, changing distro for the sake of a CHANGEABLE DE is pretty sad [19:39] Kartagis: you tried getting a video player yet? reinstalling one? [19:39] boteeka: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators#Typical+usage+%28C+version%29 [19:39] Kartagis: are you using vlc? [19:39] boteeka: there's a python example on that page [19:39] Wow, this channel is like NYC [19:40] angelic, well, probably the same issue in that case. Hopefully that .deb package works out for you [19:40] anonymity: hypetech I am using totem [19:40] Kartagis: I had the same problem with Maverick, until I got VLC, Totem wouldn't play anything for me [19:40] Kartagis: tried a different output video method in the options [19:40] angelic, also dont forget to blacklist the stock ubuntu drivers [19:40] Serriously? I just spent about 20 minutes typeing all that, and you guys ignotr me? What the hell? [19:40] ActionParsnip: how? [19:40] ActionParsnip: its not just the DE, its all the baggage (too much junk, i dont want). spending too much time fixing, might as well build my own (arch, etc) or go with something with choices that are closer to my own [19:40] tensorpudding: I am interested in setting the indicator icon and updating it periodically (btw, I found those pages too) [19:40] Glycan, patience is a virtue. [19:40] Kartagis, you should only use VLC ;) anything else is VLC.. nothing beets VLc. [19:40] hey guys, i am unable to boot to cd while the hard drive is connected so i cant get anything installed, any ideas why this may be happening? [19:41] codelurker: then use ubuntu minimal and build up. I rip out tonnes from a default install, so I use minimal now [19:41] anything else is crap ** [19:41] Glycan: it's long, it's hard to read in IRC, could you please paste it [19:41] does anybody have experience in Oracle 11g on Ubuntu? [19:41] ActionParnsip: fair enough, minimal could be a viable solution [19:41] vooze: mplayer is a lot older and more mature than vlc [19:41] mfpockets: How to disable them? I forgot the command [19:42] Glycan: Toshiba Satellite A200 ? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:42] hey :) [19:42] ActionParsnip, never really tryed it, to be honest.. i used VLC for 5+ years now.. never think i will anything else [19:42] vooze: also, the codecs from VLC get used in all the other players so both can play as many formats as the other [19:42] angelic, sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist,conf [19:42] ActionParsnip: where do you get the ubuntu minimal? jeos ? [19:42] !minimal [19:42] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [19:42] ActionParsnip: thanks [19:43] angelic, im a newb myself and only learnt this a few days ago, so not sure exactly what to blacklist [19:43] boteeka: i'm not actually sure they wrote API docs for it [19:43] ActionParsnip: so if I need a ubuntu server.. i could just add the ubuntu-server pkg on it after the install? [19:44] Kartagis: vlc window -> tools -> prefs [19:44] ActionParsnip: i guess i could give it a try w/ my virtualbox [19:44] can anyone help me?

[19:47] 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 [19:48] Glycan: lyes against my wall on my desk, giving me nice dual screen with external LCD screen :) [19:48] tensorpudding: That was my hunch also, but I hoped somebody can point me to some doc where I can read it myself [19:48] tensorpudding: thanks for your help [19:48] 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] even now.. mplayer has more options than vlc [19:48] but arp cant find a hwaddr for the other machine. and that shouldnt care about firewalls anyway [19:48] vooze: its a habit [19:49] Is it possible to only give someone access to the cp command using sudo and not other commands?

[19:49] 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] vooze: different team for one, its fun to experiment. I use deadbeef alot too.

[19:50] Polah: if its a particular command that will never change, you can put it in a shell script, restrict write access to the shell script, and allow the user access to the script itself [19:50] you'll find cp usually is a command [19:50] bsod1: An indentical problem was solved at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1635664 [19:50] not many shells implement cp as a built in [19:51] Scrap: what's your issue [19:51] more to the point: === zen|tao is now known as zentao [19:51] Polah: oops :P quiescens is right. that makes sense, too.

But every window is not wobbling :( How to enable this effect for all windows types ? [19:52] Polah: even if you restrict someone to only being allowed to run cp using sudo, they can most likely get around it if they know how, so such a limitation would be more advisory than enforcable [19:52] vooze: pure mplayer, sorry [19:52] hypetech: nx used to connect but now I notice in auth.log that 127.0.0.1 is refused when tryin to login to nx server [19:52] Polah: it might be best to use the sudoers file to allow access to a very specific shell script with the cp command you want to allow them to use. [19:52] Polah: might be better if you explian what you are trying to achieve [19:53] is there any way to stop someone who SSH's in...changing user using su? [19:53] Scrap: is the nx server service still running? [19:53] Monotoko: don't give them user passwords :p [19:54] axisys: I'd like to give some access to using cp with sudo, to copy a file to another folder. However, I don't want them to have sudo privileges for any command, only copy.

Is this normal for the kind of laptop spec? [20:09] 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] constl: Should be fast - you may need to make sure your video drivers are happy [20:09] Oh, and another thing. I'm pretty sure it boots to the first partion. [20:10] ActionParsnip, the result will be instantaneous ? [20:10] 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] nerdshell: thats the dir.. the otherone is file.. dir is for additional repos [20:10] A_J: you may need to reboot [20:10] LinuxFetus: Have you tried doing the partitioning from Windows?

[20:10] ActionParsnip, i will reboot brb [20:11] Er... guys? [20:11] Well? [20:11] penguin42, I know linux cannot resize its own partition from within itself. Could windows do that?

[20:21] aliisonline: this sounds like a bug, but i'm not sure [20:22] Captainkrtek: you may want to talk in #ubuntu-offtopic [20:22] 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] 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] BlouBlou, just trying to get some feedback for the ubuntu advertising team [20:22] Glycan , i got some of your posts. [20:22] my default short cut key to swiich tty screens is CTRL+ALT+F# but after plugging back my usb keyboard it becomes ALT+F# [20:23] 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] penguin42, Yes, it looks like Windows removed the extended partition because the C:\ drive is 1.35 TB again. [20:23] 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] Adyeths: Are you using nvidia geforce fx? [20:23] sorry LjL [20:23] penguin42, Did you want me to "man dmraid" [20:23] goddag. [20:23] Glycan /query [20:24] hey, can someone help me, I'm using gtkpod and my ipod has suddenly become read only [20:24] Adyeths: give me the model of you graphic card please [20:24] I have no idea how to fix it. I'm a real noob with ubuntu as well =/ [20:24] Anybody running 11.04 with ATi? [20:24] its an nvidia gforce 6150le [20:24] Hello any1 can point that how to refresh gdm usb devices [20:25] kneaux [20:25] im [20:25] by the way killiling aptitude at install with control c made it seg fault and renders rest of install un doable [20:25] Adyeths: Go to aditional-drivers, which driver do you have installed? Appears something like "it's installed but not in use"? [20:25] running Ati radeom mobility 5730hd in asus laptopt and Natty [20:26] 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] BlouBlou: there are only 2 files in /usr/share/ppd/cups-included/ postscript.ppd &textonly.ppd [20:26] stojabreak: I'm having this horrible (drawing order?) problem with e.g. Google Earth, Stellarium, Flash, know what I'm talking about? [20:26] ok, it says its activated but not currently in use. [20:26] does anybody here uses a C6000 Samsung TV series on Linux? [20:26] Adyeths: heh, I know how to fix it :) [20:27] stojabreak: flickery windows that keep drawing in the foreground even if there's windows in front of them [20:27] Adyeths: You have to unistall that driver, restar computer, install *experimental* ones, and reinstall again :) [20:27] wonderful. I'd love to know how to fix it. :) [20:27] experimental = free drivers [20:27] yes ! im too , with drivers you are currently use ? [20:27] Adyeths: I had this problem too [20:27] 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. [20:28] thanks! [20:28] Captainkrtek: done [20:28] Hello can any1 point that how to refresh gdm usb devices [20:28] Adyeths: you're welcome! [20:28] axisys, thanks! [20:29] Captainkrtek: Hey, man think you can help me with one small issue for abit? [20:29] angelic, sure thing [20:30] Hello can any1 point that how to refresh gdm usb devices [20:30] 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] aliisonline: what do you mean by gdm usb devices? [20:30] brian_of_tacoma: I have no idea, sorry :( [20:30] angelic, hmm hold on let me tinker around [20:30] 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 [20:31] there are only 2 .ppd files there [20:31] 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] my i gave the IDS for usb input devices in xorg.conf to use in multiseat environment [20:31] brian_of_tacoma: Then create there with "mkdir " and run the command again, doesn't it work? [20:32] but there is also no .ppd file in that dir [20:32] angelic, try installing it from here https://live.gnome.org/BatteryStatus [20:32] do I create that too? [20:32] angelic, there are instructions if you scroll down a little [20:32] brian_of_tacoma: no, that only works with folders [20:32] what is a ppd file? [20:33] can i DL it from somewhere [20:33] How come BitchX isn't in the repositories and how do I get? [20:33] 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 [20:34] brian_of_tacoma: PPD = "PostScript Printer Description" [20:34] angelic: power management [20:34] SomeShmo, efnet #bitchx /topic has a link [20:34] angelic, odd [20:34] 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? [20:34] angelic: default behavior [20:34] SomeShmo, irssi is in the repository btw [20:34] !bitchx [20:34] 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] how do I get one of those for the printer I have? [20:34] axisys: What do you mean? [20:34] SomeShmo, it's dropped because it's an unsafe and unsecure piece of sh^Hoftware [20:34] angelic: go to Power Management [20:35] angelic: then look in the General tab [20:35] Ah... [20:35] THanks.... [20:35] angelic: that is the default behavior [20:35] irssi is safe? [20:35] SomeShmo: yes [20:35] SomeShmo: it is, I'm using it right now [20:35] Cool, thanks. === chad is now known as Guest49185 [20:36] SomeShmo: you can get tons of help from #irssi [20:36] axisys: OH, I see it. [20:36] Hello Ubuntu irc people. Have you any note for audio problems with Natty Narwhal / Lenovo X60 / latest update audio problem? [20:36] query/? [20:37] 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] no ... i have no GUI [20:37] What's query? [20:37] axisys: thanks [20:37] angelic: np [20:37] its Ubuntu server [20:37] Captainkrtek: thanks as well. [20:37] Manu_: works fine for me. Anyways, do you have alsa or pulseaudio (whatever ubuntu uses) correctly installed? [20:37] Oh, I get it. [20:37] Who wanted itm already? [20:38] hey all [20:38] this is so crazy ... just want to plug in a printer ... do I need to install a GUI just for that? [20:38] 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] 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] abstrakt: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:38] BlouBlou: Yes I have. Audio was working fine before the update. Maybe the problem is that I have the trial repository enabled? [20:38] basically: how do I choose what subnet/ip to use? [20:38] lol, to flood or to use enter, that is the question, apparently :P [20:39] quit [20:39] llutz: hplip requires a GUI to find my printer ... [20:39] Manu_: I don't think so [20:39] brian_of_tacoma: hp-setup -i [20:39] 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] BlouBlou: update installed alsa 1.0.24 today and I lost all audio playback. Recording is still working. [20:40] Manu_: Then go to Synaptic >> Force the older version and reinstall it [20:40] 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 [20:40] !repeat | aliisonline [20:40] 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] TY! [20:41] BlouBlou: I tried that but for some reason the force version in the menu is grayed out. [20:41] brian_of_tacoma: you's start reading man-pages [20:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN#Setting up the Bridge [20:41] 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] ug! But I only speak English! [20:41] 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] they chose the 192.168 subnet ^ [20:41] 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] not man [20:41] Manu_: did you try moving to pulseaudio? [20:41] they > http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/78-static-key-mini-howto.html chose the 10.0.0.0 subnet [20:42] so me thought that i shout ask quickly so my question will get prominent. Really sorry [20:42] but this choice is not actually explained [20:42] BlouBlou: *noob* No, I actually do not know how to swap the audio system in Ubuntu. [20:42] !pulseaudio [20:42] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [20:43] Manu_: ^ [20:43] Thanks. I will try that. [20:43] perlmonkey2: two-finger scrolling is supported on other machines in Ubuntu, so I don't know why it wouldn't [20:44] 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] How long does updating from 10.10 to 11.04 take? Figuring out what will be the best time to do this? [20:44] how do i force quit my firefox process? [20:45] Sub_Zero: downloading = 15 - 30 mins | installing = 30-60 mins [20:45] desg_xd via terminal. killall firefox [20:45] desg_xd: pkill firefox [20:45] thanks [20:45] llutz: isn't better killall firefox? [20:45] BlouBlou: why? [20:45] tensorpudding: sweet. mac makes it easy to try out Ubuntu before I blow away OSX completely. I'll have to give it a go :) [20:46] llutz: I don't know the difference between pkill and killall, meh [20:46] stravant: use pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0; should get all the stuff you need [20:46] i'll try /etc/modules [20:47] 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] perlmonkey2: it might not be wise to completely remove OSX if you don't have a way to put it back [20:47] trism: I'm allready doing that> The compiler / linker wouldn't be able to find anything at all if I weren't. [20:47] perlmonkey2: it's only certain hardware that supports it [20:47] perlmonkey2: i think [20:47] 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] i know that windows supports it on some machines but not others [20:48] 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] Is there a guide on how to read man pages? They are so confusing and unhelpful for learning Linux [20:48] tensorpudding, "windows supports Mac on some machines" ... ? [20:48] darkorical: "create mask = 0777" in smb.conf [20:48] that, er... doesn't really make sense [20:49] brian use man man [20:49] brian_of_tacoma, lol actually there is i'm sure [20:49] abstrakt: no, two-finger scroll [20:49] .. you mean man man brian....? [20:49] the command is "man man" [20:49] Hello, i have a dvd in my drive, how can i find out whats its /dev-address? mount says sr0 is unknow [20:49] 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] trism: Any idea what could be going on given the conditions? [20:49] darkorical: err* "create mask = 0000" in smb.conf [20:49] 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 [20:50] 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] how do i remove a user from terminal? [20:50] man pages taught me massive amounts [20:50] kjxl9, man deluser [20:50] 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] and they just start listing off facts and attributes about a command without general explanations for understanding [20:50] had to learn linux at varsity for computer science degree [20:50] So apparently when you ask banshee to import a library of roughly 100,000 songs, it crashes spectacularly and begins blasting metal. [20:51] no help - u just had to get it done [20:51] brian_of_tacoma, right, that's what I just said [20:51] man pages are useful [20:51] brian_of_tacoma, if you need a tutorial, then google [20:51] im a slow typer [20:51] stravant: is it short? can you pastebin the source file? [20:51] brian_of_tacoma, sooo, practice and get faster? [20:51] brian_of_tacoma: they give you basic info, so you can use other sources to get a deeper understanding (google, whatever) [20:51] brian_of_tacoma, http://google.com/search?q=mavis+beacon [20:51] just began learning Dvorak [20:52] brian_of_tacoma, waste of time, but ok [20:52] does anybody know of a media player other than MPD that doesn't melt when presented with HUGE libraries? [20:52] vlc ? [20:52] How can i find out what /dev my dvd-drive is? [20:52] 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] pure-anon-monk: No, like, with library management and searching and such [20:52] like what banshee is supposed to do, but apparently can't. [20:52] kleopatra, it's likely to be /dev/cdrom [20:52] You tried it? [20:52] kleopatra, ls -l /dev/cdrom [20:52] quit [20:52] hi----can someone help me configure networking in ubuntu 11.04 - am a windows user but not a noob....just unfamiliar... [20:52] or that's just your thought? [20:52] brian_of_tacoma, yes - it's not worth it [20:53] brian_of_tacoma: Banshee? Yes. I just said it crashed and started blasing metal until I xkill'd it. [20:53] not sure am just about to call my mate ill ask him if he answers [20:53] brian_of_tecoma - its general proven [20:53] *blasting [20:53] and this is my first tim to irc....whoa it is fast.... [20:53] brian_of_tocoma, abstrakt is right [20:53] which is a little strange because I generally don't lsiten to metal [20:53] aveesh: that's because it's plain text :) [20:53] cdrom1 it is =) [20:53] aveesh: This channel is. [20:53] trism: http://pastebin.com/tuGD5fNE [20:54] many conversations == fast reading [20:54] 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. [20:54] gotta go.... [20:54] trism: I'll try building it with the command line to make sure eclipse isn't doing something funny while you look at that [20:54] sorry [20:54] holaa [20:54] !bye | aveesh [20:54] aveesh: Au revoir! [20:55] nelson__: english here please [20:55] stravant: it doesn't look like eclipse is expanding the pkg-config line [20:56] 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] 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] 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 [20:56] goodbye [20:56] trism: one sec while I compile it at the command line [20:57] So I just restarted ubuntu 11.04 and I got 4 "enter password for keyring", then a wifi passphrase prompt, wtf is up with 11.04, doesn't it remember wifi settings, this isn't a live cd [20:57] tase: ubuntu has currently problems with wifis n [20:57] im switching from ubuntu classic and ubuntu unity wm too [20:57] tase: I'm using an old wifi g because newest ones seems too fail [20:58] s/too/to [20:58] its got nothing to do with actually connecting [20:58] trism: Yup, it's not a problem with eclipse, exact same error from the command line [20:58] I dont want to input my password every time I restart ubuntu === Guest14492 is now known as ssfdre38 [20:58] and before the restart all my windows had no title bar / decoration, just bare borderless panels [20:59] 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] tase: I think you can't disable it, it's not wifi passwword, it's your password-unlocker password :P [20:59] no it asked for the password in the wifi [20:59] needed libqt4-xmlpatterns but it won't be installed says synaptic........Help i want to install Mixxx and amarok?? [20:59] tase: interesting... [20:59] WPA/WPA2 drop box and passphrase prompt [20:59] Hey guys. [20:59] trism: And anyways, doesn't "/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_source_get_time'" mean that it did find the file in question but it's missing a symbol? [20:59] tase: try disabling wifi password and setting mac filter then [21:00] uh, right [21:00] like im going to do that for ubuntu [21:00] 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 [21:00] Anyone here using thunderbird miramir? [21:00] stravant: g_source_get_time is from libglib2.0-dev, it is possible you are missing that, although the gtk deps should pull it in [21:00] gsr, this is why I'm not going to move to 11.04 :) [21:00] gsr, sticking on 10.10 for a while [21:00] llutz: I tried create mask ="0000" and 0777 as well as both for direcotry mask and new folders created by transmission still come up 0755 [21:01] hello there i got ubuntu web server [21:01] abstrakt: wait for a month or so, so most of problems/issues will be fixed :) [21:01] Question... I am having trouble installing programs into Wine that have multiple CDs or DVDs to the program... 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] BlouBlou, right, well at least that :) [21:01] Go talk to Wine. [21:01] i'll probably migrate to 11.04 when 11.10 comes out :) [21:01] abstrakt: /join #winehq :) [21:01] Anyone here using miramir alpha? [21:01] are settings not remembered between Ubuntu and Ubuntu Classic workspaces, or are they corrupted, is 11.04 a stable release or its a beta 4 [21:02] abstrakt: Then you may want LTS versions :P [21:02] trism:pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0 [21:02] -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 [21:02] trism: It isn't there, should it be?

I am @ bodhi.zazen post and reading it now! Apprecaite the direction! === brianl|a is now known as brianl [21:48] Edit -> Preferences -> General tab [21:48] FordPrefect, ^^ [21:48] !who | ejay [21:48] ejay: 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 :) [21:49] bodhizazen, sorry im confused... [21:49] 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] nevermind found it [21:50] dasei: what does the du-sh command do in recovery mode [21:50] FordPrefect, LOL =) [21:50] Mathuin: no and no, second [21:50] DasEi: no it won't download the source, or no it's not the same for 32 and 64? [21:51] DasEi: what does the du-sh command do in recovery mode? [21:51] ejay, du -sh just tells how much diskspace a file/folder occupies [21:51] is there a way to resize the ubuntu partition in win xp (easeus doesnt work for some reason)? [21:52] ejay: nothing known to me, df -h ? shows the free space of harddrive, amongst others [21:52] nibbler_: so that cant delete files? [21:53] DasEi: is there a way to resize the ubuntu partition in win xp (easeus doesnt work for some reason)? [21:53] nibbler_ do you mind if i pm you? [21:53] ejay, du gives info only. no pm [21:53] ejay: yes, gparted from a live cd, and afterwards alter /etc/fstab [21:53] D3luSi0n4L, no pm please [21:53] ok [21:54] anyone have a minute Im just having trouble on figuring out what to type into the fixparts program [21:54] 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] DasEi: when i boot 11.04 from a livecd, all the pixels are messed up [21:55] DasEi: Live cd isn't in windows :P [21:55] DasEi: do you mind if i pm you, i just need help with a really quick issue [21:55] DasEi: is there a way to downgrade ubuntu without losing files? [21:55] DasEi: my aim is to re-enable OSS support for /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp on 32-bit desktop. [21:55] ejay: downgrading isn't supported as far as i know [21:55] D3luSi0n4L: ask here, as I'm busy [21:56] Ok can you check this - I am using this tutorial for a program called "FixParts" it removes stray GPT partition table data [21:56] ejay: on a system that otherwise runs ubuntu from harddrive ? use another live cd [21:56] when you open it it prompts you for a device filename [21:57] heres the tutorial - http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/ [21:57] under Starting FixParts it has instructiosn but anything I try is not working [21:57] ejay: downgrading isn't possible, got to backup an reinstall, but can have a list of installed packages [21:57] 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 [21:59] D3luSi0n4L: you want to convert from gpt to mbr ? [21:59] DasEi: so if i downgrade ubuntu to 10.10 from 11.04 will windows still be able to boot [22:00] 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] DasEi: I'm trying to dualboot windows 7 & ubuntu [22:00] ejay: you can't downgrade, you can install 10.10, and commonly grubs detects windows, to be safe, backup mbr [22:00] DasEi: and everytime I try, I get the error - root file system not detected === brianl is now known as brianl|a [22:01] DasEi: sorry, i meant replace it [22:01] D3luSi0n4L: so why a gpt tool ? [22:01] ejay: should work [22:01] DasEi: through that thread it stated that my issue was probably left over GPT partition table data [22:02] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743189&page=2 [22:02] D3luSi0n4L: hmm, my experience with gpt is not too good, which size does the hd have ? [22:02] DasEi: 320gb [22:02] what is this 13775 root 99% update-apt-xapi [22:02] can i run bootinfoscrip on windows? [22:03] its eating all CPU [22:03] it will tell me if there is GPT data [22:03] DasEi: would wubi be able to change the partitions? [22:03] 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 [22:04] ehh reinstallling Windows is kind of a huge pain for me [22:04] how can i check for these issues - [22:04] does the new xubuntu also come with unity? [22:04] 1. mix of GPT and MBR partition table - this confuses ubiquity 2. leftover fakeraid metadata or unsupported raid option [22:04] ejay: yes and no, it would put an image in the space you will first have to clean then [22:05] Ive been reading about umask and trying to find an answer but am coming up short handed I have transmission installed it has its own user "debian transmission" I believe I want all files and folders created by it to be set to 0777 can someone tell me an easy way of doing this with 11.04 [22:05] DasEi: ok [22:05] DasEi: do u know anything about macbuntu or mac4lin [22:06] Oooh, got an error inflating the datastream when downloading the kernel. [22:06] ejay: easist should be just use the alternate 10.10 installer and then choose to format the existing partis, there can also resize [22:06] Is there a better channel for kernel-related questions (well, downloading the kernel)? [22:06] ejay: no [22:06] DasEi: if i format it, wouldnt it delete all my files? === mb is now known as TheNuts [22:07] ejay: yes [22:07] I need to add a second sata drive to my box to clean off data, how do I select which sata drive will boot the system ? [22:07] Mathuin: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [22:08] Mathuin: if there is need to, on your own risk, can add a ppa and simply apt-get it [22:08] DasEi: so, is the messed up pixels in 11.04 common? [22:08] DasEi: thanks for the pointer to the PPA. Guess #ubuntu+1 is talking about oneiric now. :-) [22:08] ejay: there is a new approach to x, but can also be a bad d/l, burn or other reason [22:09] DasEi: i upgraded from 10.10 inside update manager [22:09] 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? [22:10] ejay: ah, now it becomes clearer, and you still can boot safemode ? [22:10] Mathuin, no it still redirects here [22:10] robin0800: Ah, thanks. I see -header and -image in the PPA, no -source. Hopefully git will Do The Right Thing this time. [22:11] Mathuin: why do you need the source ? compile with special options ? [22:11] actually, it' duplicated the MOTD and the info is out of date: http://pastebin.com/hwq3bxDQ [22:11] DasEi: when i boot safemode the same thing happens, only unity 2d and ubuntu classic (no effects) works [22:11] DasEi: yes. I intend to re-enable OSS so I can use /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer again. [22:12] Mathuin: that should be possible still, natty ? [22:12] DasEi: I'm hoping it's possible still. Otherwise I'm sorta screwed. [22:12] ejay, then its the driver and its interaction to compiz [22:13] Hello Any1 know how to refresh gdm input devices?

[22:16] netwolker: do you have libgstreamer0.10-dev ? [22:16] BufferUnderpants, look for the little triangles against the icons [22:16] trism: i'll check that oyt, thanks [22:17] *out [22:17] Monotoko: It should [22:17] edbian, will I be able to fix it if not..? [22:17] why my torrent download speed on ubuntu is so slow [22:17] why? [22:17] Monotoko: Well that depends on what problem crops up. I would be really surprised if anything broke though. The motherboards typically are not an issue. [22:17] More seeds... [22:17] darko: is your normal dl speed fine? [22:18] Monotoko: A different wifi card. Now that probably needs some tinkering [22:18] robin0800: right, but I mean when I have lots of apps open, scrolling down the launcher can get tiresome [22:18] Because I came here to say that my speed is half that as on windows [22:18] on all downloading [22:18] edbian, same wifi card...diff processor though :/ [22:18] the same torrent at windows utorrent is maxed my connection [22:18] Monotoko: Won't make a difference [22:18] is there a connection bug generally? [22:18] this isnt after the update [22:18] trism: that did the trick, thanks a lot :D [22:18] but even on 10.1 [22:18] edbian, good stuff...I will see what happens...I have a laptop to come in here if it goes wrong [22:18] Monotoko: sure. I'll be waiting! [22:19] i like ubuntu but this slow torrent download speed and generally slow internet speed is a dealbreaker [22:19] also i cant use my tvtuner [22:19] darko: on 11.04? [22:19] yes [22:20] Mathuin: it's updating now, I will have a look in few minutes [22:20] i used 11.4 64bit and followed all the instuctions but couldnt use my tvtuner [22:21] DasEi: thank you very much. using oss-compat would be far far superior to rolling my own kernel, but I imagine I'll have to replace those missing bits and then use oss-compat. [22:21] is there a guy that knows things and can help me [22:21] Mathuin: if so, consider using kernelcheck, though I can't believe one can't switch it anymore since it's still there [22:22] Well, thanks anyway. [22:22] i was so happy that i would install the new version and leave windows but i was dissapointed so much [22:22] i didnt expected a linux system that it would have internet issues [22:22] darko: tried tvtime ?

I want all files and folders created by it to be set to 0777 can someone tell me an easy way of doing this with 11.04 [22:23] trying the 32bit version would help ? [22:24] darko: tried tvtime ?

I have done that. Hi! Tell me more. Remember to describe your system and connections so I dont have to pry it out of you. TY [22:27] 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] 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. The kernel generally throws stuff into ram that it expects will be used [22:27] thiebaude, I can. But .. wait I have something to read from edbian [22:27] tripelb: hi :) [22:27] How can I enable the server window for IRC on pidgin? I'm trying to find out what staffers are online on freenode with /stats p, but it doesn't show anything :( [22:28] tripelb: I made a typo. the gnome system monitor tells you how much ram that the kernel and applications absolutely need stored. The difference is... [22:28] edbian, so the free command is telling me about RAM+cache (and cache is a part of the hard drive used to page RAM). - Is that so? [22:29] tripelb: Yes.

[22:32] good evening... having a bit of trouble getting grub-install to recognize the root on software raid (md0) [22:32] Question, I'm trying to get used to Unity, but I'm having a few issues.

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] ok... had some trouble with the tracking device on earlier releases... [22:33] tripelb: Just type pulse[tab][tab] it will autocomplete by looking in those directories automatically [22:33] 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] 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] tripelb: Then look it up in synaptic if you need to install it (it's not install I don't think) [22:34] evon: It's the same command that you would type at the terminal. /usr/lib/vino/vino-server [22:34] 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?

SVP! [22:57] S4nD3r: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [22:57] i boot up the live cd :) [22:57] anyone know why empathy in 11.04 isnt using notify system, just an unread msg count on the icon in launcher and envelope in panel turns different colour.. I want actual notify popups like in 10.10 [22:57] tripelb: http://www.tuxradar.com/content/how-it-works-linux-audio-explained [22:58] tripelb: This is a good starting point. [22:58] does anyone know if you can watch video on the ubuntu live cd? [22:58] :) [22:58] k [22:58] dusf: You can [22:58] sorry Dasi i meant to record the video as well as sound [22:58] edbian: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:58] Hello can someone point me in the direction of some good NVR software for a standalone NVR server I am going to build? Needs to supports 20 IP Cameras and 5TB of HDD. [22:58] perlsyntax: That doesn't really answer my question :) [22:58] I'm talking too fast. hahaha [22:58] edbian: .avis etc i have downloaded? asking cause i'd like to resize partitions but not render my pc useless while doing so [22:58] MtrPanda: try recordmydesktop [22:58] dusf: I'm not 100% sure you can play .avi files by default but I would be surprised if one could not [22:58] ok [22:59] thanks [22:59] hi [22:59] I'm running 11.04 and I have three monitors im trying to setup I have two nvidia cards and I use proprietary drivers ubuntu seems to be messing with the screens since I have two different resolutions between the three monitors the 1440x900 monitor is displaying a desktop at 1280x1024 BUT it is not stretching it seems to be gnome and not X so I changed the xorg to use only one screen and the desktop has setup three screens still on just [22:59] I need a download manager [22:59] rat download or something like that is pretty good wormdrink [22:59] Anyone??? I just upgraded to 11.04, how do I move the side bar thing to the bottom or the right because with dual monitors its just weird [22:59] if you need a gui [22:59] edbian: ty [22:59] edbian, dusf: by default not for legal reasons, , exept vlc, one needs to install the codecs [23:00] dusf: sure [23:00] vlc brings it's own codecs, other players not [23:00] dusf: What I can promise. If you boot the live CD and it can't play AVIs all you have to do is install a package [23:00] I remember installing a restricted formats package when I installed 10.10...? [23:00] dusf: VLC would be an obvious solution [23:00] @WormDrink sorry it's called FatRat [23:01] enbian,It work with the wlan-ng in sabayon not sure how to work wlan-ng in ubuntu. [23:01] AndroUser: yeah. That solves this problem [23:01] perlsyntax: lsmod | grep wlan-ng [23:01] perlsyntax: What does that return?? [23:01] ok i try that [23:01] hold on i tell you.

[23:03] DasEi: any luck with the vm? [23:03] edbian: nice, wasn't sure it was possible to install when using the live cd [23:03] edbian, THANKZ!!!! can I just sudo apt-get it? [23:03] edbian, good source but "too many bananas". I want to be able to chat with a friend. What they are teaching me is that it's not well designed. In that case I want to know how to do it. Is thre a SIMPLE way to test the microphone like "soundRecorder" in windows? That might tell me if it's the specific programs I am trying or somthing more specific to my webcam microphone. (Logitech quickcam for windows. UCD says works out of the box but [23:03] may need wrapper for skype. the wrapperpage stuff fails, alas) [23:03] dusf: yeah [23:03] froq: yes [23:03] edbian: thanks bro [23:03] now I just really need my audio problem solved!!!! [23:03] @FaceFurFiend @Camer0n it's ubuntu classic [23:03] Mathuin: sorry for delay, the §$%& thing crashed few times in the update...

[23:04] froq: ha, I love pianobar :)D [23:04] can i get some help formatting an SD card? i did sudo mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdb1, and it appears formatted vfat... but sudo fdisk -l still shows "Linux" as the file system...! [23:04] edbian, can I have it always have me logged in or is that not possible? [23:05] Someone earlier asked "what's the modern Ubuntu way of setting up console frame buffer?" I was uable to stick around for answers. So, what were they? [23:05] edbian, I tried skype. that didnt work. so I loaded exiga. I have no idea how to make a test call in that. (yes I got an account too) so I thought I'd get even more simple. can I record a sound. {tripelb tried to simplify and think clearly.) [23:05] froq: I don't know of a way. Never looked into it. Check the man page === MyNickWontFit is now known as PetePorty [23:05] edbian, will do, again thanks! [23:05] arrrghhh: That should have done it.

[23:07] usr13, ah. yea that was the issue. forgot that step, d'oh.

I want bigger fonts in console mode. I know how to do it in lilo but do not know how to do it with grub. [23:09] time to recopy all that data.... thx. [23:09] edbian, I must go to the park. or this will be the 3rd year of missing the local festival 1/2 block away. [23:09] tripelb: I'm looking at this link too. It's huge. Try to follow if you want. I'm gonna find a shorter one [23:09] tripelb: Oh [23:09] Go to your festival! [23:09] edbian, leave me a PM if you would be so nice.

[23:11] mongy: is notify-osd running/installed? (assuming you're using gnome), if so, do the messages show up in ~/.cache/notify-osd.log (say from notify-send from libnotify-bin), if so you may just need to kill notify-osd and restart it (or relog) [23:11] hey, could someone help?

[23:14] what is the suggested terminal in a browser package these days? been looking at anyterm but it won't compile [23:14] edbian: thanks I will read it, try it and get back to ya [23:14] stealth-: It will take a long time. You need to move sda2 over to the right. Then you can grow sda1 [23:15] FaceFurFiend: Good luck [23:15] linuxtech: what were you trying to do exactly. [23:15] stealth-: what are sda5 and 6? /home and / ? [23:15] 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] edbian: Yes. [23:15] stealth-: Er, other way around. / and /home/ [23:16] edbian: ^ [23:16] stealth-: You resize / move it.

Thanks again ;) [23:18] 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] stealth-: sure no problem [23:19] trism, had to logout/login... its ok now.... [23:20] bazhang, hi [23:20] trism, edit.. no, empathy still does not.. it used it to notify me of an add request, but not any messages [23:20] mongy: hmm, but you are getting other notifications?

[23:58] 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] WOW , you guys are awesome [23:58] gnomexchat not so good thou [23:59] DasEi, number of problems, evolution unusable , frozen screen when coming back from screen off etc [23:59] snii, plug the usb stick into an other linux system and edit the usb stick from it [23:59] I'm a pure ubuntu user and i know the support is awesome but since i joind this chat channel [23:59] it was much awesomeness [23:59] akour: There is enough awesome to go around for everyone.
