[00:00] of course [00:00] escott: where do I find grub.cfg? [00:00] Pelo: I'm just doing one, can tell in a minute, (haharr, my container was full, no diskspace left, is why I first stuck) [00:00] @spirals [00:00] kingofswords, no one likes gnomexchat, that's why most just install vanilla xchat instead [00:00] we have one problem the open source community [00:00] thedragon4453, when you mount the ubuntu disk as say /mnt/ubuntu it will be in /mnt/ubuntu/boot/grub [00:00] we don't have female geeks around :P === PunkassFender is now known as StryKaizer === erkan^ is now known as zippo^ [00:01] akour: there are few [00:01] yea few [00:01] akour: there are more than you think. most of them are like "one of the guys", and many of them are annoyed with guys picking on them. [00:02] @mathuin cause its the most awesome thing is a female Open source Geek [00:02] the sexiest thing ever [00:02] akour: I've dated one. they're still people in the end, both pluses and minuses. [00:02] * Pelo is waiting for a woman who can fix a flat and change her own oil [00:02] those girls are sexier than ubuntu [00:02] ;) [00:03] now nice, Ubuntu 11.04 with UEC fails to launch the admin panel on 8443 [00:03] my dvd burner shows up on disk utility as having unknown media of 1.1 gig but it is physically empty help please [00:03] hello [00:04] @ladySerena don't worry we will help u of course :) [00:05] @ladySerena LOL ur not with the DVD problem === ich is now known as Guest72072 [00:05] can anyone ell me why my network connections tray no longer lists wireless networks? [00:05] akour: Can we try to stay on topic here? [00:05] Mathuin: ? [00:05] #pici [00:05] i.e. Ubuntu support. [00:06] escott: grub.cfg appears correct. I have two lines in fstab. UUID=f14bff65-ad25-4fc8-a7a3-348ed7ff8c00 / ext4 errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 0 1 [00:06] I got past the ubi-partman error! Now, to ask a very basic question, how do I do the partitioning (I'm doing the "other options" install, because I need to pick the partition to install ubuntu on. [00:06] @pici ok [00:06] sorry [00:06] I assume I want my bootloader installed on the first drive that gets loaded by the bios? [00:06] im just exited about talkin to ppl who actually use ubuntu [00:06] escott: Huhm. My other machine runs windows - I can find /etc/sudoers when I connect the usbstick to that machine, so it seems like the file is there :\ [00:06] escott: and another that is commented out: UUID=f14bff65-ad25-4fc8-a7a3-348ed7ff8c00 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [00:07] rpk: yes /dev/sda normally. [00:07] akour: Well, just keep in mind that #ubuntu is for support, #ubuntu-offtopic for chatter :) [00:07] escott: the UUID matches the results of the fdisk command. [00:07] DasEi: I'm here, lemme read scrollback. [00:07] rpk: typical partioning layout. (windows) (/ ) (/home) (swap) [00:07] @Pici ok p_q , im sorry [00:08] DasEi: what's up? [00:08] Dr_Willis: yep, thats what I have. And I can just pick the one ext4 partition, or do I have to actually split it myself? I don't think I need swap with 16Gb of ram, right? [00:08] escott: a pic of the error (sorry, can't screenshot it) is here: http://imgur.com/oFGD1 [00:08] rpk: i always put at least 512mb of swap. [00:08] snii, i dont know a lot about usb stick installs but the fact that you can open it under windows is weird... that means its a fat filesystem, but fat doesn't support the needed permission model that the /etc/sudoers file would have [00:09] rpk: if for no other reasion.. then its befause some live cd's can use it. :) [00:09] rpk: plus hd space is cheap these days. [00:09] Mathuin: I managed to get oss running by installing alsa-oss and oss4-base [00:09] thedragon4453, ohhh thats different... that is after the bootloader (grub) but before the ubuntu splash (plymouth) [00:09] The rule of thumb used to be half the size of RAM, but disk is so much cheaper I now just do the RAM. [00:10] <[7]> rpk: and it allows the kernel to push some unused stuff out of RAM to have more disk cache and thus improve performance [00:10] DasEi: I will try that right now. Did you reconfigure the linux-sound-base ? [00:10] Mathuin: no [00:10] thedragon4453, i would try adding the suggested rootdelay to your grub.cfg, it seems the bootloader is coming up before the hardware is fully turned on [00:10] Used to be swap = 2x ram. :) then it got argued a lot.. now ram is so cheap/huge... BUT if you are on a laptop.. you proberly want swap = ram or more.. perhaps 2.x ram.. if you use hibernate/suspend. [00:11] why can't the ubuntu cloud page just freaking work on a fresh install? [00:11] "ubuntu cloud page"? [00:11] escott: Well, not really, it was inside a file called squashfs, which 7zip could open. Anyways, I think I will just reinstall the system, this will take too much work. Thank you for your help! [00:11] https port 8443 [00:11] Dr_Willis: yes, 2x ram, not 0.5xram, that's what I _meant_. Right now I use 1xram on my netbook. [00:12] when will the ubuntu 'try it' cloud app be ready? [00:12] LadySerena: never used it, only built AMI images for the cloud. [00:12] escott: so just add a line under the default boot option like "rootdelay=20"? assuming that's seconds. [00:12] thedragon4453, yes probably don't need 20 seconds but try with 5 and see if it works [00:13] DasEi: I tried installing alsa-oss and oss4-base, then oss-compat, and I still get eth same errors. === zippo^ is now known as erkan^ [00:13] This is on natty with a kernel rev of 2.6.38-8-generic [00:14] Mathuin: on oss-compat, alsa-oss works here [00:14] escott: thanks. working off a live cd now, so I'll try a reboot and see what happens... [00:14] So you installed alsa-oss and oss4-base, and *then* oss-compat? [00:15] Mathuin: no oss-compat here, though it's still in from an earlier try === AndroUser is now known as Turk [00:15] okay. so how do you know oss works? (did you reboot after the installs?) [00:15] Mathuin: an equi providing it does [00:15] DasEi: what happens when you run 'osstest'? [00:16] alright can someone help me with umask ... IM on 11.04 Ive changed the umask at the end of etc/profile to umask 000 as well etc/login.defs Ive tried entering umask 000 /path/to/folder from the command line followed by touch /path/to/folder [00:16] how can I add llvm/Debug+Asserts/bin to my Path? [00:16] and still when transmission makes a new folder it gets 755 [00:17] Mathuin: I get /dev/mixer no such file or directory [00:17] DasEi: which means that OSS isn't working. Sigh! [00:17] how [00:18] to paly swf under ubuntu [00:18] mifadir: I think vlc will play that [00:19] no, i try it [00:19] Hi, I have an ATI Technologies Inc R481 [Radeon X850XT-PE] video card. What is the best driver to install in 11.04? Thanks. === Thedragon4453_ is now known as Thedragon4453 [00:20] any other player with this capability === cjcopi_ is now known as cjcopi [00:20] mifadir: have you installed a flash player? [00:21] yes, and i can watch youtube [00:21] if 20 gb hdd should it be ntfs or fat32? [00:21] Then you should be able to use that flash player to open the swf file right? === claudio is now known as botinha [00:22] escott: that didn't work. Should I try a longer delay? [00:22] my flash player crashes all thetime...its ubuntu 64 [00:22] hello, I'm currently running 10.04, how do I upgrade to 11.04 from the update manager? There is no upgrade to 11.04 feature. [00:22] is this normal? [00:23] you need alternate version to go from 10.04 or lower to 11.04 i think [00:24] I've just upgraded to Natty and now X continually prints DDC gathered mode lines to log without displaying desktop (just wallpaper) [00:24] kingofswords, so I'm unable to upgrade from to 11.04 if I download the iso, I'll have to do a clean install? [00:25] i dunno [00:25] hi I'm having a problem in 11.04 I have this message err:winediag:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Direct rendering is disabled, most likely your OpenGL drivers haven't been installed correctly [00:25] but my nvidia are ok and I have direct rendering [00:25] but how [00:25] can i use flash palyer [00:26] chickenEGG: thats right. but why aren't u able to ? [00:26] im newbie i just read that you can only upgrade from previous version or version previous to that [00:26] !upgrade [00:26] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [00:26] chickenEGG: I think you can use sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:26] chickenEGG: is 10.04 LTS? I think there is an option that needs setting if you want to upgrade sooner [00:26] ok thank's === Cupcake is now known as Guest42561 [00:27] zeta 10.04.2 LTS [00:28] chickenEGG: yes it's _Long Term_ Support [00:29] !releases [00:29] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [00:29] !releases [00:30] zeta- so I can't upgrade to 11.04? I tried apt-get distro-upgrade and get nothing: 0 upgrade, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded [00:30] :( [00:30] ok, here I go, since I installed 11.04 Ubuntu has crashed 3 times, I don't know why, my tty f7 is crashed, I just can move the mouse cursos, the thing is I am downloading in google chrome a huge file, I need to know if it is still active and if so, I need to know when it finished so i can reboot the pc or something, I don't wanna lose the file, any ideas? thanks [00:30] chickenEGG: does software center have a settings page? [00:31] chickenEGG:from update manager > Updates ..Release upgrade , change it to Normal releases. [00:31] is there any way I can force ubuntu to get bluez (maverick) from https://launchpad.net/~kitlaan/+archive/ppa with natty? [00:31] zeta- software center or do you mean update manager? [00:31] S4RY, will look [00:32] chickenEGG: S4RY ; yes that's what I meant :-) [00:32] ;) [00:33] zeta-, S4RY, that was it, got it and thanks! [00:33] you're welcome. [00:33] LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/nvidia-current/libGL.so wine somegame I have to do this...how can I set it right? [00:33] n-iCe: Just keep an eye on your routers activity light I guess. [00:34] I'm running netbook from a USB key atm, otherwise I wouldn't have needed to guess [00:34] FishFace: would it be the only way? [00:34] FishFace: I was thinking about any way to move from a tty the proccess to other one [00:34] so I can kill X and run it mayeb in other with the chrome proccess there [00:34] zeta- haha, the upgrades look incremental, it's only allowing me to update to 10.10. [00:34] I am not really sure what to do [00:35] what happend to the remmina-xfce applet in 11.4? why would anyone take it away from me? [00:35] n-iCe: Good luck on that. I really don't know. [00:35] thanks [00:35] will post the question again since many users have joined [00:35] chickenEGG: thats how the upgrade process goes , then from 10.10 you upgrade to 11.04. [00:35] ok, here I go, since I installed 11.04 Ubuntu has crashed 3 times, I don't know why, my tty f7 is crashed, I just can move the mouse cursos, the thing is I am downloading in google chrome a huge file, I need to know if it is still active and if so, I need to know when it finished so i can reboot the pc or something, I don't wanna lose the file, any ideas? thanks [00:36] Any ideas why my X is repeatedly logging DDC gathered mode-lines instead of running a desktop ? [00:37] I have a huge problem with my apt db. even if I uninstall all flashplayer pkgs... my ubuntu still thinks I have flashplayer:32bits installed from before(i'm using a 64bits distro) how can I remove it? [00:37] ah i c [00:38] Hy all [00:38] anyone got a minute? i got 11.04 setup & the Java JDK [00:39] but for the Android SDk its just a folder, where should i put it? [00:39] n-iCe: It's possible the download will resume when you reboot, but no guarantees ... [00:40] n-iCe: when you retry, that is. [00:40] just finished installing natty, what is the first thing I should do [00:40] also, looking to permanently disable unity [00:41] zeta-: your issue could be related to kernel or X . [00:41] Thedragon4453, you could try a longer delay, you might also pastebin the boot options you are using from your grub.cfg [00:42] D3luSi0n4L, just drop it in your $HOME unless you want to put it in /opt === freax--- is now known as Charbel [00:43] S4RY: mmm, hadn't thought about the kernel, I'll retry with one I know should work [00:44] escott, I have a wifi that I want to put in the most unadulterated state possible in /etc/network/interfaces. Just enough so that network-manager doesnt take control of it. I have inet dhcp as a param, but then it bind a dhclient service to it. using "statis" doesnt work either as that somehow allows n-m to take over. anyy suggestions for the line I should use in interfaces? [00:44] "static" [00:44] S4RY: anything to check with X -- missing packages? ... [00:45] should the MD5sum of a DVD be the same as the MD5sum of the ISO it was burned from? [00:45] Hi - I'm having some odd problems with Ubity - I cannot resize any Qt applications at all - I can maximise, minimise and restore them, but cannot resize them with the mouse. Any ideas? [00:45] this happens with big applications and is reproducable with a 5-line c++/Qt application. === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [00:46] ThomasB2k, the border is only one pixel maybe, so u cant grab them.. have u tried the keyboard shortcut for resize? [00:46] thomi_, ^^ [00:46] <_< [00:46] my motd no longer displays the number of available updates [00:46] zeta-: check for a xserver-xorg-video update. [00:46] how can i fix this [00:46] LAcan: I can grab the border just fine - at least, the mouse cursor changes to the double-arrows. [00:47] LAcan, i'm afraid I don't know [00:47] without using update-motd [00:47] escott, omg u r joking! [00:47] spasysheep: you mean , where it was downloaded from , then yes .. thats the point. ;) [00:47] escott can i set just a mode in interfaces? like "iface wlan1 mode ad-hoc" ? [00:47] S4RY: thanks will try that -- 8-) === Laggg is now known as realeyes [00:48] thom1_ dunno [00:48] LAcan, i dont know of any single file that you can edit to stop NM from taking over. which would mean making lots of changes to udev hotplug scripts to stop notifying NM of activity [00:48] hi so I have a problem I'm forced to start eve with a LD_PRELOAD to /usr/lib32/nvidia-current/libGL.so or else nothign works..how can I fix it? [00:48] S4RY, no, I mean if I run md5sum blah.iso and md5sum /dev/dvd should it give the same result? [00:48] escott, any interface u define /etc/networks/interface will be skipped by nm... i have nm skipping the card now [00:49] (ie nm manages only one of two wireless nics [00:49] hi there. How can I set up all those compiz fancy effects in ubuntu 11.04 (flame, cube, etc)? Thanks [00:50] spasysheep: your burning s/w should have checked the write was successful, but a DVD is not an .iso so the md5's wont match unless you're v clever [00:51] zeta-: OK, I was confused because the burn process seemed to be acting odd so I want to verify the disc another way. is there another way to check it? [00:51] spasysheep: exatly as zeta- respond with. [00:51] in transmission how do i priortise dls? [00:51] admean_: install compizconfig-settings-manager and compiz-plugins-extra either in software center or with apt-get, and then you'll find them in system settings -> compiz [00:51] LAcan, so NM is not handling the plugin events once you have it in /etc/networks/interface, but you can't establish a route? [00:51] oops - I fixed it. I had accidentally disabled the compiz 'resize window' plugin... which means you can't resize any windows... :( [00:52] spasysheep: I'm not v clever [00:52] I want available updates back in my ssh motd without using update-motd package. how can I achieve this. It worked on 10.10 and now does not on 11.04 [00:53] zeta-: time for google then [00:53] Bye all -- see you in Natty (hopefully) [00:53] ohai [00:54] does installing gnome3, and then running a dist-upgrade [00:54] dpkg-reconfigure * works? [00:54] mean you lose gnome2? [00:54] zeta-: good luck. M:-) [00:54] escott, i want the nic to have the least amount of settings and services possible... i use "inet dhcp" now but it binds a dhclient service to it.. is there something other than "inet static" or "inet dhcp" that u can inisialize the card to? [00:54] because, I can't log into gnome2 any more [00:54] Axlin: thanks ! [00:54] tommylommykins: yes afaik gnome3 breaks everything else [00:55] später bin zur Zeit unten [00:55] fc [00:55] mu upload speed is 0.3meg so how much do i set in transmission torrent? === doganaydin_ is now known as doganaydin [00:55] llutz: Here's your output from following the steps verbatim from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile and the page it links to for building from git. http://pastebin.ca/2055068 I just wasted three hours of my life, thanks a lot for nothing [00:57] KNUBBIG: Thanks, time for a reinstall then [00:57] looks like installing gnome3 when you don't have hardware support for it is a nice way to break your system :D [00:58] tommylommykins: :D true, that's why I dont try to install it. Fear. :D [00:58] Hi, I have 11.04 on my laptop and I noticed that it is difficult to use the trackpad to do certain things like double tapping to grab, then move a window and double tapping to grab, then scroll using the right-hand side scrollbar. What can I do? [00:58] KNUBBIG: yeah, I've not lost anything... I do want to try it, I've been told it's good [00:58] * tommylommykins has only just discovered VMs, too :D [00:59] tommylommykins: I used it from source when under 10.10, and yes it's nice. [00:59] haha :D <3 VMs [01:00] Hi, I have an ATI Technologies Inc R481 [Radeon X850XT-PE] video card. What is the best driver to install in 11.04? Thanks. [01:00] so my wine is trying to use the old libnvidia-glcore.so.256.53 when I know use .270 nvidia driver I remove the *256 from /usr/lib32 but I can't use wine :( help plz [01:00] magicalvapor, the one suggested in "Additional Drivers" or "Update Drivers" in your System menu [01:01] I have a pretty stupid question: Your website says "Run alongside your Windows system"... is that like Dual Boot.. or will it just open in another window.. or what.

[01:06] Saik: the latter is advanced, you can alter the cache [01:06] I've ticked some options in compiz settings and my titlebars disappeared. Thanks [01:06] Saik: don't use them in parallel ! [01:06] Should I file a launchpad bug? [01:07] DasEi, I think I do.... but flash games on FB are stupidly slow on this PC when they didn't used to be [01:07] hello to all [01:07] 11.04 sed it up some, but it's still sluggish [01:07] Saik: remove gnash first then [01:07] i have just recentely installed 10.10...then i immediately upgraded to 11.04....and i was having problem wtih my NIC [01:07] Saik: they used to hassle each other [01:07] so i rebulit the box with 10.10 again, and i am again having problem with the NIC [01:07] none of my "k" programs work in 10.04. Which piece am I missing? [01:07] LAcan, not really it either has a static ip or it gets a dhcp ip [01:08] i see how that is possible because if I initially installled 10.10...how do I upgrade to 11.04 with out the NIC ? [01:08] Heyos. [01:08] escott is there a mode other than "inet"? [01:08] LAcan, otherwise its not route-able (except as a PPP connection to the router) [01:08] How do you use the usb-creator.exe that comes with U on win? [01:08] how can i drive the sound inserted from the microphone directly to my speakers? [01:08] i dont see how that is possible because if I initially installed 10.10...how was I able to upgrade to 11.04 without the NIC ? [01:08] I try to make it see the .iso, but it doesn't! [01:09] LAcan, if there is its beyond my networking knowledge [01:09] Saik: are you using 32 or 64 bit ? [01:09] escott, kk ty [01:09] Thanks for the help [01:09] escott, what the problem ? [01:09] lol [01:10] (Failing that, tell me what the approved way of making a liveusb is) [01:10] enovativ, LAcan wants to configure his ethernet as not static and not dynamic, but "up" so that NM doesn't interfere [01:10] escott, NM ? [01:10] enovativ, yes exactly [01:11] Ok, I did metacity --replace to revert to the default settings. Afterwards, I enabled Cube but nothing happens. Do I need to restart the system? [01:11] enovativ, Network-Manager [01:11] help! [01:11] how can i drive the sound inserted from the microphone directly to my speakers? [01:11] DasEi, 32 bit, and removing gnash has helped out quite a bit [01:12] LAcan...so no data is passing back and forth on the interface [01:12] i am having problems with wireless on ubuntu netbook remix [01:12] what are you using the interface for if you don't want a static or dynamic address ? [01:12] Glycan: it's pretty straightforward... what problem are you running into? [01:12] admean_, Cube is associated with compiz not metacity [01:12] how can i disable boot loader from installation [01:12] anyone want to take a hack at it? [01:12] Hi, i was wondering if anyone here can help me out.. i have forgotten the pw for my mail account, but i can still access the account via Sylpheed, but the password is ghosted, is there, is there a way to get the password from sylpheed ? [01:12] escott: so how would I enable compiz Cube? [01:12] enovativ, ya exactly, i would like it in the blankest state possible, just enough so that NM doesnt take over the card. [01:13] i dont want need boot loader menu. i want to disable it during installation [01:13] EkN77: I hope not [01:13] admean_, running 10.10 or classic use the "desktop effects" gui to enable compiz [01:13] Saik: for usual, with partner repos enabled, flashplugin-nonfree works, or try ubuntu-restricted-extras, which brings a bunch of also needed codecs, too [01:13] enovativ, if I set it to static, N-M seems to take over... i have it set to dhcp, which makes N-M ignore the card, but still dhclient is bound to the nick, which generates a few bothersome (but not fatal) errors in the networking app im trying to use [01:13] LAcan, NM is going to see the card regardless...unless you turn it off in the BIOS maybe...but then it is useless after that [01:13] i have a 2.8ghz xeon that is identical to the intel i7. my spare box is a 3.2 p4 ht with 2gb. would i get better performance running windows xp from virtual box ? on the xeon since this is mostly just a desktop machine [01:14] LAcan, if you wanted to do this for all devices you could disable the network manager service, but i think you wanted this for a specific device [01:14] Are they any problems I'm not running into..? I asked it a while ago, I can repaste it, but it'll flood. [01:14] Pastebining... [01:14] LAcan, what is the networking app ? [01:14] DasEi, good to know. I'm'a scootnow though. be well [01:14] enovativ, i'm basically putting the card into monitor mode. if N-M "sees" it is fine, as long as it doesnt try to associate it with anything [01:14] caspie: 3.2GHz? [01:14] escott: I can't see Desktop effects in the menu. [01:14] enovativ, Kismet [01:14] caspie: do they both have vt-x? [01:14] admean_, you should also be able to run "compiz --replace" from the command line [01:14] http://pastebin.com/aMiWYGQS [01:15] reisio, yes that is running windows xp and its a bit slow. 2gb of ddr. i have 8gb of ddr3 here and just your common desktop applications on the xeon natty install [01:15] It's also on the logs, available for all. [01:15] caspie: yes... both vt-x? [01:15] reisio, i'm not sure about the dell. my xeon does [01:15] k9copy, kbattleship, konversation, & kdenlive are all crashing. I have the kubuntu ppa installed. KDE-config is installed. What little piece am I missing? [01:15] caspie: I don't really understand your question, a vm is always less performant than a 'native' install [01:15] ok [01:15] caspie: know the exact proc model #? [01:15] DasEi: no it isn't [01:16] LAcan...have you voice this question/concern over at #kkismet ? [01:16] #kismet ? [01:16] well its not really a kismet problem... its a 'can network manager f- off' problem [01:16] reisio, let me check [01:16] reisio: how ? the host and vbox itself takes some ressources, always, even on multicores [01:17] DasEi: always, all things being equal, and they aren't [01:17] LAcan, if you make it static what happens...or what doesn't happen ? [01:17] caspie, i think we would need more info on exactly what kind of p4 that is... there are a lot of p4s ranging from 32bit p4s to some odd 64bit versions [01:17] enovativ, when I set it to static, somehow NM takes over again and associates with an SSID [01:17] help reference question: where do I find a manual describing all the kernel commands one can specify on the "linux" command line in grub2? natty-specific if that's important... [01:17] caspie, but if it were me and I had a xeon I would go the VM route (seems more convenient) [01:17] caspie: it'll run just fine in a VM regardless, of course [01:18] that would be convenient :) [01:18] LAcan..and what problem does that pose with kismet ? [01:18] hey guys, seems like this problem is on the internet a bit since a few ubuntu versions ago and pple still have trouble with it, compiz occasionally runs 100% cpu and kills the computer speed [01:18] only restart fixes it - any solutions? [01:18] adminewb1, this is some of them https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [01:18] caspie: and unless you want seamless mode from VirtualBox, I'd go for kvm instead [01:18] I am installing a guest OS in my virtualbox.. is there a way to record it and then replay the session ? [01:18] enovativ, once the card has been associated, it wont hop... its locked to its wifi channel (11 in this case) [01:18] escott thanks [01:19] Silentmyst, what is your graphics card? [01:19] ati radeon 4650, 1gig dedicated [01:19] reisio, its a prescott-mt [01:19] LAcan what about a proxy ? [01:19] enovativ, sorry? i dont follow [01:19] axisys: recordmydesktop ? [01:20] DasEi: is it any good? have you used it ? [01:20] LAcan..use a proxy...wouldn't matter if it was static or dynamic [01:20] can you get the weather aplet on the top panel in unity? [01:20] Silentmyst, unfortunately I have no recent ati experience, but was your driver automatically installed, or did you have to download and install it yourself? [01:20] axisys, you can usually clone the vm image, but record it? [01:21] !info recordmydesktop | axisys, yes you can record your screen with it, works [01:21] escott: this is to show how do I install it.. something like recordinging [01:21] axisys, yes you can record your screen with it, works: recordmydesktop (source: recordmydesktop): Captures audio-video data of a Linux desktop session. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.8.1+svn602-1ubuntu3 (natty), package size 54 kB, installed size 148 kB [01:21] enovativ, ... im cofnused? I set the wifi NIC to a proxy? [01:21] uhh it was auto installed, i think i pulled the extra control package though... been a min [01:21] axisys, then screencasting... then recordmydesktop as DasEi suggested [01:22] Hi, I have an ATI Technologies Inc R481 [Radeon X850XT-PE] video card. What is the best driver to install in 11.04? Thanks. [01:22] escott: let me google it [01:22] Silentmyst, please prefix your message with a nickname, as it makes finding them easier (especially when you're in 5+ channels!) [01:22] im pretty sure it pulled it when i installed ubuntu, gave it internet access and just had it download all recent updates from get go, have just had it up-to-date since === claudio_ is now known as botinha [01:23] Silentmyst, is there only one driver available for you from the "Additional Drivers" program? [01:23] LAcan, ok...so that is static..what happen when you set it dynamic ? [01:23] seven_six_two, one sec i'll check [01:25] ati/amd propretar fglrx graphics driver [01:25] 3D-accelerated proprietary graphics driver for ATI cards. [01:25] This driver is required to fully utilise the 3D potential of some ATI graphics cards, as well as provide 2D acceleration of newer cards. [01:25] the only other one is my broadcom wireless [01:26] proprietary* [01:26] Seven_Six_Two, I have an ATI Technologies Inc R481 [Radeon X850XT-PE] video card. What is the best driver to install in 11.04? Thanks. [01:26] !de [01:26] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [01:26] Silentmyst, hmm...You may want to double check with another ati user, but there may be a different drivers available from the ati site. [01:27] LAcan, check this out -----> http://cryptema.wordpress.com/2009/05/20/configure-kismet-in-ubuntu-9-04-with-alfa-network-wi-fi/ [01:27] enovativ, dhcp exempts the card from having n-m associate to a BSSID, which is good, but it still binds the service dhclient to the card, which generates some non-fatal error messages [01:27] escott, this is a plain 32-bit p4 3.2 ghz without intel 64 http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27466 [01:27] Sorry magicalvapor , I'd love to help you, but I've been an nvidia user since I got rid of my ati 9100 [01:27] Anyone else know which driver is best for the Radeon X850XT-PE? [01:27] seven_six_two, so the compiz problem is due to graphix drivers? [01:27] its an R481 video card [01:28] caspie: http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/cpu-z/1.57-32bits-en.zip [01:28] Silentmyst, another thing to check is your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:28] LAcan...do these non-fatal messages prevent kisment from working ? [01:28] caspie: but like I said, stuff will run fine in a VM on your Xeon [01:28] Silentmyst, I can't guarantee it, but that's the first place to look [01:28] caspie: if it's just about convenience, you're good to go [01:28] enovativ, nah, they are just anussiance lol.. i can live with them, but I was wondering how u just initialize a card with the purest settings is all... no services bound to it etc [01:29] why me kismet can't running? [01:29] for all intentents and purposes the newest version Kismet, and the distro version, work great on lucid 10.04 [01:29] LAcan, I would say that you couldn't , would be the funtion of the wireless interface at that point ? [01:29] really really great [01:29] sorry I was all over the place... [01:30] enovativ, all good [01:30] LAcan, now maybe you can help me with my issue [01:31] enovativ, lol whats that [01:31] ? [01:31] what should i install for windows media player or winamp plugin? [01:31] i initallly installed 10.10....then i was prompted to upgrade to 11.04....so i was like..what the heck [01:31] kavurt: pardon? [01:31] after the upgrade i cant get my NIC to work [01:31] * LAcan in other news: Does anyone know how to get Network-Manager to show up in the systray over a freenx/vnc connection? [01:31] kavurt: oh right [01:31] kavurt: VLC, Audacious [01:32] after trial and error..i said forget it...i'll just rebult using 10.10 [01:32] enovativ, is it a broadcom? [01:32] it is a Intel === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [01:32] hrmmmmm [01:32] after i rebuilt to 10.10...the NIC is still not working [01:32] kavurt: though you should look at alternatives to Audacious/Winamp-style players, there are a lot of interesting things out there Windows doesn't realy have [01:32] really* [01:32] caspie, i would guess that the VM on the xeon would be able to beat a single core P4 from 2004 while still giving a good experience on the host os. the main concern would be the graphics card [01:32] seven_six_two, http://paste.ubuntu.com/604646/ === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG [01:32] enovativ, there are many chipset bugs (ie broadcom) that are documented on the forums... how are you tring to configre the card? does it show up anywhere on ur system? [01:33] reisio: i have both. but when i try to listen to some radios online, firefox says: missing plugin [01:33] lspci reported the following : Ethernet controller : Intel Corporation 82562v-2 10/100 network connection [01:33] enovativ, is that the right card? (and can u use my name for clarity) [01:33] kavurt: install gecko-mediaplayer [01:34] LAcan, yes that is the right card [01:34] seven_six_two? [01:34] enovativ, its a wired NIC right? what does ifconfig say? [01:34] Lacan, that is what lspci is reporting [01:34] Silentmyst, sorry, I was in another channel. I'm reading it now [01:34] ok ty [01:35] enovativ, and ifconfig says what? [01:35] LAcan, ifconfig give em some info...but i dont see a ip address of anything [01:35] LAcan, what in particular should I be looking for ? [01:36] can someone help me, or point me to a chanell that can help me with my x11vnc [01:36] !info tmux [01:36] tmux (source: tmux): terminal multiplexer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3-2+squeeze1 (natty), package size 178 kB, installed size 460 kB [01:36] enovativ, ok i dont use 11 but uhm... u got a network management option in your system menu somewhere? [01:36] Silentmyst, ok, so the logs are cycled each time you restart x. This one, if it's xorg.0.log is from the current session. Was there a slowdown for this session? [01:37] LAcan, i am looking at my network connection now...and i am looking at "Auto eth0" [01:37] thank you escott [01:37] enovativ, "looking at" you mean the file /etc/network/interfaces or one of the GUI screens like newtork manager? [01:38] escott, can you believe i got that nice 3.2 p4 with 2gb and 160 sata factory for $66 ? i got lucky. :) [01:38] LAcan, the GUI [01:38] this session no, i just restart before coming into the chat - seems to fix the cpu usage, it happens from time to time - often it eats an entire core, then the cpu switches the load back and forth after a while [01:38] enovativ, ok good. in ifconfig, the name othe card is "eth0" ya? like eth0 is the card u want to configure? [01:38] caspie, put it in a small case and make it into a server [01:38] Hello. [01:39] Glycan: hiyo [01:39] LAcan, yes [01:39] S4RY: You there? [01:39] enovativ, ok so in the guy, select "Auto eth0" and then the "edit" button should light up...ya? [01:39] guy=GUI [01:39] bazhang, still here ? [01:40] seven_six_two? do you want any of the other logs? [01:40] hii [01:40] its got 0_old, 1, and 2 [01:40] LAcan, exactly [01:40] Silentmyst, has X used all of your cpu since you most recently logged in? [01:40] enovativ, ok so do you have static IP settings or do u use DHCP? [01:40] LAcan, DHCP [01:41] Hi there. [01:41] LAcan, i see just noticed something in etc/network/interfaces... [01:41] k, I got UEC working [01:41] LAcan, i dont see a eth0 [01:41] its running in a VM [01:41] Does anyone see the menus on Eclipse on the window itself instead of the top bar? [01:41] enovativ, no thats fine, thats the behaviour u want [01:42] seven_six_two - no, like i said it ate one of my cores so i restart. been on for about 30-40 mins [01:42] since [01:42] xorpt, I don't have it installed, but from what I've read, the menus go to the top bar for apps that have that feature built in [01:42] enovativ, dont add anything to interfaces or ull break the gui management, which is generlly a lot nicer [01:42] but its not the first time it has happened [01:42] LAcan, ok [01:42] enovativ, in the GUI ull be able to give it IP setinngs or DHCP settings, and then it will work. tru DHCP if u dont know ur IP settings [01:42] what happened to the desktop effects in ubuntu 11? [01:43] LAcan, i have done DHCP, and it doesn't work [01:43] Seven_Six_Two: I'm not so sure about that, I have a personal project I just compiled, and the menus go to the top bar by default. [01:43] unity killed em - if you like 10 you have to log in as classic sta7ic [01:43] Silentmyst, ok, if you can, wait until it does it again, then switch to a tty (alt+ctrl+f1/f2/f3) or ssh in to the box, and get the current log, dmesg output, and your xorg.conf [01:43] xorpt, did you use gtk? [01:43] sta7ic, 11.04 still has desktop effects, unity requires them. [01:43] enovativ, do u have a dhcp server like a router or do u use static IP settings? [01:43] sum [01:43] sup [01:43] Seven_Six_Two: Yes. [01:44] How do I check what UDMA mode my hard disks are running at? [01:44] Hi. I installed 11.04 a few days ago and everything was good. Recently, I've lost audio (don't think I first noticed it associated with an update). On boot, ubuntu plays the drums noise, but after logging in, no audio comes out. If I start totem playing, Sound Preferences lists Totem Movie Player. I haven't been able to find a similar bug and was wondering if anyone else has had similar symptoms? [01:44] xorpt, perhaps it's a gtk vs tcl/tk or qt thing? [01:44] seven_six_two ok thanks [01:44] Mitsukaru: unity? not familiar, im checking my xorg.conf file to see if my ati card for my notebook is detected, should be powerful enough for desktop effects [01:44] sta7ic, log into ubuntu classic mode by choosing it at the bottom of your screen where it says session, after selecting your user you want to log in as but before you type your password. it will remember your choice. [01:44] LAcan, yes i have a wireless router [01:45] who is op [01:45] Mitsukaru: I am already in classic mode [01:45] I've got an external maxtor drive that I am having trouble with.. [01:45] enovativ, oh man, u are trying for a wirless connection? because eth0 is a wired connection... [01:45] sta7ic, Mitsukaru unity3d (default) requires them, but there are unity2d that can be used also [01:45] Seven_Six_Two: Eclipse is coded with jaba, I think it uses something like swing for the GUI, so it might be that. [01:45] For some reason ubuntu doesn't want to detect it. [01:45] oh. install the ati drivers then if you have to and then you can use the new unity mode. [01:45] enovativ, run "iwconfig" and see what comes back [01:45] java* [01:45] xorpt, that would be my guess. I forgot that it was in java.. [01:45] I'm trying to boot from a liveCD of latest U on a toshiba satellite A215 with a half-deleted windows in the first partition, who's bootloader is run. I'm tryting to get to grub, as per the U tutorial. I used unetbootin-win-549.exe to put ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso on a flash drive. It doesn't work, it shows the aforementioed's menu (Unetbootin). It didn't work, saying that it couldn't mount [01:45] /tmp. I changed the -- part of the options line avildle for editing via tab to "nomodeset" by the suggestion of the rather nice S4RY, which causes a bit of stuff to happen shellish stuff to happen, followed by a grand "UBUNTU!" with logo slightly to the right, with a working mouse pointer. What should I do to get to a working boot? [01:45] sta7ic unity is the new desktop features 11.04 is using, it requires certain settings from compiz that doesn't allow of the classic features such as workspace cube - if you like that however you can log into classic and the log in screen [01:45] angelic: zgrep MULTI_LUN /proc/config.gz [01:45] jaba, hehe ;) [01:46] ^_^ [01:46] Glycan explain half-detected [01:46] Glycan, boot windows and use EasyBCD to repair the load order [01:46] htcpx, hdparm may tell you [01:47] hi folks [01:47] yassine: hi [01:47] No go. [01:47] Beg pardon? [01:47] yassine: hi [01:47] LAcan, no i am trying for a wired connection..i was just saying that i have a wireless router [01:47] Can't boot windows- it's deleted. [01:47] Does anyone know how to get an external seagate usb drive recognized. [01:47] Glycan: no CD drive? [01:48] Silentmyst: im familiar with compiz control panel, its hard to tell if xorg.conf is using ati driver,the package is installed, but i dont like how we're moving away from config files in /etc [01:48] No windows cd drive? Of course not. [01:48] Glycan: windows cd drive...? [01:48] " Glycan: no CD drive?" [01:48] LAcan, right now the workstation is hard wired in to a switch that is hard wired to the router ....this only because of the location of the workstation from the router as well as the number of machines i have in my office at home [01:48] what is a "windows cd drive" [01:48] ^ [01:48] Does anyone know how to get an external seagate usb drive recognized... [01:48] either the laptop has a CD drive or not [01:48] I HATE WINDOWS !! [01:49] sorry everyone i just had to say that !!! [01:49] angelic: what does 'no go' mean? [01:49] enovativ: Indeed. [01:49] enovativ, ok, do u know the static IP settings for your network? u can set a static IP even if your touter uses DHCP... [01:49] matt_799, I guess it depends on what you mean. Are you trying to use Wine? Otherwise it would be that coffee-cup holder thing that comes on windows machines [01:49] Half-deleted: I delted eavrything in /host/Windows, but I assume there's kernal and registrey stuff, too. [01:49] i have to support 100+ window users at my job ! Aggghhh !! [01:50] Variuse leftovers and pointers and stuff. [01:50] Glycan: do you have a CD drive connected to the laptop or not? [01:50] reisio: gzip: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory [01:50] LAcan, let me try it now [01:50] angelic: ah, bummer [01:50] angelic: lsmod | grep -i lun [01:50] sta7ic are you not seeing something like this [01:50] [ 18.626] (II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version Identifier:8.84.60 [01:50] Yes, there s a cd drive. [01:50] [ 18.626] (II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Release Identifier: 8.84.6 [01:50] [ 18.626] (II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Build Date: Mar 24 2011 19:27:41 [01:51] Silentmyst: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:51] Seven_Six_Two I understand "cd drive" I understand "Windows" and "Windows instalation cd" I do not understand "Windows cd drive" [01:51] enovativ, u can use the same GW and MASK settings from another machine plugged into that switch, just change the IP by a few numbers [01:51] reisio: doesn't return anything [01:51] Silentmyst: in dmesg? no.. [01:51] Is the Intel 8xx series still blacklisted on 11.04? [01:52] Yes, we both misunderstood. [01:52] It has where to put a cd, yes. [01:52] matt_799, if I had to take a guess, I'd say it's language geared towards people that don't know that the box on their desk isn't itself "Windows". [01:52] angelic: echo 8 > /sys/module/scsi_mod/parameters/max_luns [01:52] But my functionnal box has broken cd drives. [01:52] 11 [01:52] especially when so many of them have windows stickers on them [01:53] LAcan, ok [01:53] cause well, it was definately blacklisted on 10.10 [01:53] er.. Guys? [01:53] Any help here? [01:53] Glycan, ok rewind [01:54] Glycan, whats your problem, in the most basic way possible [01:54] i have a problem with my ubuntu. 1. my laptop become froze up and then i pressed power button a few second to force shutddown. when i try tto boot again, my wireless and lan card are no longer detectable. how to solve it [01:54] reisio: bash: /sys/module/scsi_mod/parameters/max_luns: Permission denied [01:54] Dear dear. I did write a rather long thing about above, why don't you just scool up? [01:54] scroll* [01:54] MOST [01:54] reisio: even though I did it with sudo [01:54] BASIC [01:54] WAY [01:54] POSSIBLE [01:55] LAcan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:55] Ubuntu won't load from liveusb. [01:55] sorry floodbot [01:55] As if that gives you anything to work from. [01:55] glycan i believe your mistaken [01:55] How so? [01:55] Silentmyst: i look in dmesg and dont see anything ATI related, not sure how to check xorg anymore since there is no conf file. [01:55] Well, it loads, but not in a usable fasion. [01:55] Glycan, cant help you with that, but in BIOS where is USB in the boot order? [01:56] grub seem not to like to boot windows and each time i try to i get error device format "dev/sdb,msdos2" invalid must be (f|h)dn, with 0 <= N < 128 these are my grub2 configs http://paste.ubuntu.com/604651/ line : 183 [01:56] from a pendrive? can use the software @pen drive linux and load the iso, works just like the cd [01:56] No, it boots from the USB all right, the usb just doesn't work. [01:56] It's a boot thing. [01:56] Or so I think. [01:56] switching bios to load from usb first [01:56] LAcan, for some reason the "apply" button is still grayed out...i put in the address, the netmask, and the gateway [01:56] Glycan, uh, if its boots from USB then it works [01:56] I _did_ do that. [01:56] LAcan, i also put in the dns servers [01:56] * elang waiting for an answer [01:57] need to start a video file (with vlc) on a remote ubuntu computer ...any good ideas ? [01:57] enovativ, ok.. is there other buttons?

[01:57] LAcan, sorry about that ...the only button is "cancel" [01:57] enovativ, then in console type "ifocnfig" and see if those settings took [01:57] kop: '' around the command [01:58] enovativ, u a superuser?

[02:01] gtg, srry all [02:01] Grendel, sorry a "/" [02:01] grims: check alsamixer [02:01] thanks [02:01] how to check reisio? [02:01] just a few things i'd start with [02:01] It was given to me, so I have no idea XD and as far as the linux.. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 [02:01] first time I used an irc :O [02:02] LAcan, i think i have something...but for some reason....firefox just stayed idle trying to bring up website...restarting the workstation [02:02] Silentmyst: Yes it recognizes it when I do a lsusb [02:02] 天阿，都是说英文到 [02:02] grims: run 'alsamixer', press up arrow if things are low, 'm' if things say 'MM' [02:02] LAcan, instead of 255,255,255.0 for the netmask...i just needed to put 24 [02:02] enovativ, ya try ifconfig first, it should show u the settings u specified [02:02] !cn| fosbin [02:02] fosbin: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn、/join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk。 [02:02] enovativ, NO! the nwtemaks stays identical, like 255.255.255.0 whateve it says on ur other machine... its the IP u need to change [02:02] LAcan, thanks ....lol....too later ...already restarted workstation [02:03] Silentmyst: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0d49:7350 Maxtor [02:03] angelic, do you know if the drive is actually working? could be shot... have you tried on a different computer/os [02:03] is there an epub reader that lets me increase/decrease font size? [02:03] reisio:i press alt+f2 alsa mixer nothing happen [02:04] grims: run in a terminal [02:04] LAcan, ifconfig shows inet addr : 192.168.1.161 bcast : 192.168.1.255 mask : 255.255.255.0 [02:04] Silentmyst: works on others, yes [02:05] LAcan, but it is still not working...just tried to go to a webstie [02:05] Hi [02:05] hi [02:05] reisio, DISPLAY=:0.0 vlc path/to/file for the win , tnx . been in solaris all day and got brain dead [02:05] LAcan, there is only one line available for DNS, how do i put two DNS addresses on here ? [02:06] reisio: all max nothing happen [02:06] enovativ, u dont, lol [02:06] kop: I can imagine [02:06] LAcan, lol [02:06] enovativ, more accurately: i dont know, and u shouldnt "need" two. [02:06] reisio, sure about that ? [02:06] LAcan, great [02:07] kop: I imagine I am sure, yes [02:07] grims: what make/model comp? [02:07] enovativ, does it work? [02:07] LAcan, no [02:07] angelic, can you see it in disk utility? [02:07] gnite everyone === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [02:07] LAcan, i can't ping anything either [02:07] enovativ, of open a console and type ifconfig, what does it say for eth0? [02:08] reisio:the sound is intel cantiga HDMI model acer aspire 4925 its old notebook [02:08] LAcan, ifconfig shows inet addr : 192.168.1.161 bcast : 192.168.1.255 mask : 255.255.255.0 [02:08] LAcan, but i do see 76 erros for TX packets [02:08] enovativ, whats the gateway? [02:09] enovativ: you can ping 192.168.1.1 [02:09] enovativ: please see the route [02:09] LAcan, never mind i wrong..lol [02:09] I was doing apt-get upgrade and the power went out...now when i try to boot up it freezes at the login screen. can't login or go to text mode or anything. [02:09] LAcan, le t me see if i can ping the gateway [02:10] LAcan, can not p ing the gateway [02:10] shagywashere, i would boot a livecd and then chroot into the system and see if you can resume the upgrade [02:10] LAcan, now that is crazy because I have another box on the same switch and it is having no problems getting to the internet [02:10] what happened to the fire effect in compiz? [02:10] Skype doesnt work so well with ubuntu and 2 monitors [02:10] did i missed some answers to my grub2 question? [02:10] Silentmyst: how to get to the drive utility? [02:10] enovativ: The route is could not find [02:10] !ccsm | sta7ic [02:10] enovativ, what does ifconfig say for gateway... one thing at a time plz [02:10] sta7ic: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz === ModuleXploited_ is now known as guesy [02:11] LAcan, i do not see anything about gateway..i don't even see the word gaeway [02:11] angelic, it should be in your system settings [02:11] LAcan, gateway [02:11] LAcan, what is Bcast ? [02:12] escott im on a live cd right now. how exactly do i do that? [02:12] enovativ, bcast doesnt matter, GW matters a lot... whats it say for gateway? [02:12] enovativ, bcast=broadcast = send a packet to all other computers on your local network [02:12] escott, thanks [02:12] LAcan, i do not see gateway at all [02:12] sta7ic if your using 11.04 in its new form it doesn't seem to work - if you like the way 10 worked when you log in choose the boot into classic option - your not going to get full compiz settings as you did [02:12] enovativ, is the "GW"? [02:12] escott: I already installed that but fire effect is not an option but everything else is [02:12] shagywashere, first mount the ubuntu disk [02:12] only on classic [02:13] Silentmyst: If you mean "My Computer" then no I don't see it [02:13] enovativ: route add [02:13] yassine: yes you missed it :) [02:13] sta7ic, it might have been removed... I don't know for sure [02:13] ok no worries thanks [02:13] sta7ic [02:13] that was the best effect! [02:13] LAcan, what route ? [02:13] boot into classic [02:13] Silentmyst: for the fifth time i am already in classic [02:13] =] [02:13] shagywashere, so from a command line that would be sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntu; sudo mount /dev/sda# /mnt/ubuntu; [02:14] oh sorry missed it lol [02:14] np [02:14] enovativ, there is a gateway setting in that gui config program yes? [02:14] then load advanced settings from the software manager [02:14] its a package with more options [02:14] LAcan, yes..and I am looking right at it...and it says : 192.168.1.1 [02:14] reisio: im already googling have i change alsa-base.conf? [02:14] ok great.. so ping 192.168.1.1 [02:14] escott, got that [02:14] shagywashere, you will have to figure out what number to put in for # [02:14] Wow. I don't know what the cause is, but here's a fun issue. I have an nvidia6800gt, unity, effects enabled, dual head (2x 1680x1050) and xchat on the left monitor. There is an area, about 6" wide x 2" high, it's top is about 55% down from the top, and pretty close to center along x axis (maybe a bit right of center). In this area, I can neither scroll, nor highlight text. Move the area up or down, and I can highlight no problem [02:14] . Start highlighting above, and I can drag the selection through the "dead zone", and copy works fine...I don't even know where to start. It isn't xchat, because it happens in chromium too. just checked. [02:15] escott yup its sda5 [02:15] shagywashere, then its probably a good idea to bind mount the main filesystems like proc, sys, dev onto /mnt/ubuntu [02:15] grims: possibly [02:15] angelic - system settings can be accessed from the power button on the bar, the drop down should have system settings option [02:15] So my english is so bad [02:15] shagywashere, so thats sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev; and the same for /proc and /sys [02:16] Seven_Six_Two, do you have screen hotspost bound to functions or panels in compiz? [02:16] help [02:16] I just tried gedit, same thing. move the window to either side, and I can copy. [02:16] how do i swich to run level 3 [02:16] !ask > edwardthefma [02:16] edwardthefma, please see my private message [02:16] LAcan, I have edge-flip enabled [02:16] edwardthefma: chkconfig [02:16] Seven_Six_Two, i dont use dual monitors [02:17] !runlevel | edwardthefma [02:17] edwardthefma: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [02:17] Seven_Six_Two, but if u have that problem in the area that is defined for some function or prupose, it is likely a conflict [02:17] alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel [02:17] LAcan, as for other hotspots, no. Not that I enabled, at least. I just checked my other monitor, and it doesn't do it. It seems to be fine [02:17] options snd-hda-intel model=auto i will add this line [02:17] LAcan, no, the dead zone is almost dead center of left monitor only [02:17] LAcan, guess what.....lol...i took the cat5 cable out of the NIC and put it back in.....and IT WORKS !!! === paul__ is now known as leonalthor [02:18] Seven_Six_Two, huh thats weird... what is it you cant do in that area again? [02:18] LAcan, never fails....sometimes you have to keep it simple ! [02:18] escott, okay i mounted them all [02:18] oh yeah...once again....I HATE WINDOWS !! [02:18] shagywashere, once you have those filesystems bind mounted you can do "sudo chroot /mnt/ubuntu" and will have a command line that is effectively "inside" your ubuntu system and not the live cd. you can ask apt-get to resume the install/fix any broken packages there [02:18] enovativ, lol ok great its fixed\ [02:18] sta7ic, did you find it? search compiz in software center - install the advanced settigns [02:18] LAcan, I can't use my scroll wheel, or begin a text selection (lclick-drag) [02:18] is it me...or does Windows Server 2008 stresses the $%^& out of you ? [02:18] i hate the windows platform period ! [02:18] * edwardthefma is confused [02:19] LAcan, or right click, as I just found out [02:19] LAcan, hey .....thanks....thanks a lot ! [02:19] Seven_Six_Two, sounds like a mouse issue, cant really help more than that [02:19] enovativ, np. [02:19] .. [02:19] I just opened transmission, and same problem, exactly the same area. [02:19] just remmeber that gui, it will be helpful to you [02:20] 大家好 [02:20] maybe I'll check the dimensions by mapping the area in the gimp. or xinput [02:20] !cn | fosbin [02:20] fosbin: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn、/join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk。 [02:20] * LAcan and on that note I am off. Good luck boys (and girl?) [02:20] looks like UEC has a very limited GUI :( [02:20] #ubuntu-cn must be where all the real gangster hackers hang out lol [02:20] hey all, looking for help with intel gfx drivers on natty [02:21] ubottu: hello [02:21] installed natty on 855gm laptop, installed xserver-xorg-video-intel but X still seems to be using the vesa driver [02:21] ubottu: this IRC can't speck chinese? [02:21] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:21] hi [02:22] escott, thanks it worked [02:22] dajiahao [02:22] 大家好 [02:22] !jp | fosbin [02:22] fosbin: 日本語の場合は /join #ubuntu-jp または /join #kubuntu-jp を入力して下さい。 [02:22] does anyone know what language that is?

"soft raid" or mdadm. how far is the booting going? [02:24] does btrfs need its own fdisk partition type? [02:24] /join #ubuntu-cn [02:25] cryptopsy, no its just a standard linux partition type [02:25] fosbin: no space [02:25] can you boot directly into btrfs with partition type 83 in btrfs, without a boot partition? [02:25] html_inprogress: 这里都不能说中文是吗？ [02:25] can someone help me, or point me to a chanell that can help me with my x11vnc [02:25] 嘎嘎 [02:25] subcool: mailing list [02:25] 都是英文 [02:25] escott, I inherited this with bad drive, so got new drive, installed from CD, went fine but won't boot - bios says new drive is non-RAID [02:26] why do i keep getting flshplayer crshes? [02:26] 小菜鸟就是郁闷阿 [02:26] try flash 'square' [02:26] download it from the flash site [02:26] fosbin, english here [02:26] why me the babylinux can't fdisk -l [02:26] i do i swich to runlevel 3 [02:26] !ko | fosbin [02:26] fosbin: 도움이 필요하시면 다음 채널에 조인하십시오. /join #ubuntu-ko [02:26] libflashplayer.so and place it in the .mozila folder in $HOME or whatever it says [02:26] :( [02:26] fosbin, #ubuntu-cn for chinese [02:26] Okay.. this is driving me nuts. I cannot get Pure-FTPD to accept a virtual user under 10.04 LTS. Can someone give me a hand? [02:26] !runlevel | edwardthefma [02:26] edwardthefma: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [02:26] "fdisk -l" no help anything [02:27] i think perhaps i have to tell xorg.conf to use the intel driver. anone know how to do that? [02:27] thats not helping [02:27] tazu778, what is the exact message, and what drive did you install to [02:27] LAcan, I should know better. A quick google search returned a known unity bug related to a compiz plugin that causes mouse dead zones [02:27] edwardthefma, i guess im trying to say why do you want to get to runlevel 3 are you changing the service levels? [02:28] Seven_Six_Two, ding ding ding... im fixign stuff i do not know about lol [02:28] .......so why no have people help me? [02:28] i need the awnser that is ezy enuff for a idote like me to understand [02:28] i think so [02:28] edwardthefma, you dont change runlevels, simple [02:29] 即时通讯使用晶体管，和你说话..所以这是一个有点慢...你想在中国Ubuntu的频道吗？ [02:29] escott, it has 2 SATA drives - I replaced both, then used CD to install 10.10. But dell looks for a RAID drive to boot. It sees new drives but won't look for OS on them to boot up. [02:29] MRcon, ask a real question [02:29] invida recomends it [02:29] html_inprogress, english only [02:29] LAcan, you get a shiny new...Thanks! Straight from somewhere else! [02:29] tazu778, can you disable that in the bios [02:29] html_inprogress: 是的 [02:29] * edwardthefma is a noob [02:30] haven't figured out how to - I do CTRL-I for config but nothing happens. [02:30] Need a wee bit of help. [02:30] tazu778, that kind of raid is called "soft raid" and is generally discouraged. its possible to make it work with the device mapper interface dmraid, but is not as robust or feature complete as the pure software mdadm solution [02:30] bazhang, there asking for the china "a" chaneel , which is why they re here [02:30] bazhang: your can say! [02:30] I am switching from Pingous to UB 11 *update [02:30] ugh [02:30] how can I keep my home folder? [02:30] so everything with UEC is freaking command-line driven :( [02:30] html_inprogress, and they have been told many times. no need further. english only here. [02:30] and not lose it? [02:31] edwardthefma, the classic unix way to change runlevels is to say "init #" but its not really encouraged... [02:31] !home | kerdal [02:31] kerdal: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [02:31] thank you. [02:31] MRcon, last time: #ubuntu-cn for Chinese NOT here [02:32] tazu778, thats going to be laptop specific... it might be escape? [02:32] or F1 [02:32] or I [02:32] bazhang: I know ere can only speak English [02:32] escott, it seems built in on this dell... I wonder if I do an alternate install if I could install drivers [02:32] tazu778, im sure it can be disabled, just google around and figure out how to get into your bios [02:32] cryptopsy, thx [02:32] aaw. Now it's fixed. How do you find a bug that goes away on it's own, and can't be seen with the naked eye? [02:32] Silentmyst: Still nothing. [02:33] bazhang: Don't worry about me, I was working hard to learn English [02:33] 频道运营商（bazhang）开始生气，只有在这里说engilsh [02:33] Seven_Six_Two, a heisenbug those are exciting! [02:33] i am looking for a linux driver (10.04) for: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PP/PRO TMDS [Xpert 128] -- suggestions? [02:33] html_inprogress: I know thank you! [02:34] it's crazy. Some how, tabbing through my open windows got rid of the mouse's dead zone [02:34] hallo [02:34] my sound still in problem anyone can help?im using maverick [02:34] escott, thanks... yeah, there has to be a way [02:34] bazhang: So sorry !.. [02:34] Blue1, that's an older card, right? [02:34] grims, what is the problem [02:34] halo every body [02:34] im googling but no answer [02:35] angelic - one sec [02:35] Seven_Six_Two: yes, an old PCI card. [02:35] escott:my sound dead [02:35] grims, what kind of card [02:35] I have problem [02:35] escott:intel cantiga hdmi [02:36] grims, is the standard sound working? is it just the hdmi that is not working? [02:36] angelic are you using a full distro install or virtual box [02:36] escott:all not working [02:36] Blue1, iirc, ati dropped support for a whole whack of ati cards a few releases ago. maybe 8.04? And the new xorg can only use the new driver. So the only option is whatever the open source community has come up with. That's why I switched to nvidia. [02:36] [02:36] escott:its a old notebook aspire 4925 [02:37] varie0xC, hi [02:37] Seven_Six_Two: that's not an option finding an nvidia pci card. [02:37] Blue1, and having switched, I am not sure what the driver actually is. I can only tell you that is almost certainly won't be the proprietary driver [02:37] Why the new kernel package success ,then no start [02:37] grims, is it listed here: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt [02:38] Seven_Six_Two: right, I dont mind propriety drivers, it's where is one? [02:38] Blue1, no, of course not..and horribly frustrating too! [02:38] angelic? [02:38] Blue1, what I'm saying is that if the driver came from ATI, it won't work for you. [02:39] Silentmyst: full distro [02:39] [02:39] escott:wait [02:39] Why me for no one I have? [02:40] angelic, ok then try this http://www.ehow.com/how_4927652_install-ubuntu-external-hard-drive.html [02:40] Seven_Six_Two: why not? [02:40] MRcon, ask a clear question. what new kernel. installed from where. [02:40] Seven_Six_Two: it is using the generic driver atm -- would like a bit more bang. [02:40] bazhang: OK thk... [02:40] it listed ALC882/883/885/888/889 [02:40] MRcon, please answer my questions [02:41] escott:the sound work well on lucid and natty [02:41] escott:but i love maverick [02:42] Blue1, because ati decided to remove the code from a certain chipset and back. It was a lot of cards that were affected. not just a series, but everything before a specific chipset [02:42] angelic, basically what i've been reading is people that have had the similar problem where it sees that a hard drive is there but won't mount, have fixed the problem unfortunately through reformatting the hard drive [02:42] Seven_Six_Two: yeha I thought they removed legacy support in 10.10 not 10.04 [02:42] Blue1: I just looked it up in hardy, driver was ati, but newer xorgs won't support no more ati's [02:43] DasEi: :-( [02:43] Blue1, is your system laggy? I would suggest switching to the unity2d packages. as for legacy support, unless they did it again, it was quite a while before that. A few years ago. [02:43] bazhang: This day I download Linux - 2.6.38.5, but when you cannot install on down [02:43] Seven_Six_Two: it is ubuntu 10.04 -- no unity here. [02:43] MRcon, downloaded from where. [02:43] angelic - if you do have anything on it from a different computer i would suggest backing the info up on that computer [02:43] bazhang: www.kernel.org [02:43] grims, if you can find a matching acer model number and a matching chip number (ALC88X) then you can take the bit on the left which I'm guessing for you might be "acer" and put that in your modprobe instructions [02:43] Blue1, oh I thought you meant the cutoff for the drivers, not your os. [02:44] MRcon, thats not supported here. [02:44] Blue1: on your own risk I could pastebin you the xorg for a try, but Ican't predict how that behaves on natty now [02:44] Seven_Six_Two: yeah I am looking for an ati legacy mode driver for 10.04 [02:44] Blue1, well, it's the same thing unfortunately. [02:44] Blue1, meaning, 10.04 has the same issue [02:44] DasEi: again I am NOT using unity, nor 11.04 - it is 10.04 [02:44] escott:how to find chip number? [02:44] bazhang: My company needs me to finish a mini Linux system construction, I need it [02:45] grims, lspci -v [02:45] Blue1: same for x-support <> ati [02:45] MRcon, then try ##linux , that has zero to do with ubuntu [02:45] DasEi: so basically there is nothing? [02:45] DasEi: i mean no hardware drivers [02:45] bazhang: Yes. I'm going to find another environmental compilation [02:46] Blue1: there is, but propitary drivers of ati won't work with newer xorgs [02:46] grims, my guess is you want to try options snd-hda-intel model=acer see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto for more detailed instructions [02:46] MRcon, stop asking about it here, its not supported. this is ubuntu support only. [02:46] DasEi: okay [02:46] Blue1: you could try if the old atidriver is still present and works [02:46] DasEi: where can I get it? [02:47] Blue1, I don't usually do this, but if DasEi can send you the link found about the ati driver problem, perhaps you can find an older version, maybe debian because they opt for stability over features?

[02:48] heh all I can find are old windows drivers which does me no good in linux [02:48] Blue1: second, coming soon [02:48] Blue1, here's a link to old ubuntu releases that you can get: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [02:49] Seven_Six_Two: okay I'll take a look thanks [02:49] whats the advantage of using a home made ubuntu dns server via bind9 vs just changing the @ value of my dns settings for my domain to point to my ip address? [02:50] Seven_Six_Two: those are just iso's of old versions of the os. [02:50] Blue1, that's correct [02:50] bazhang: Thank you for your comments, waiting for the next English levels increase again ask you questions [02:50] blue1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/604662/ [02:50] grims: Please don't try to paste stuff with too many lines, it sets off the flood bot [02:51] grims: You should be able to speak now though, use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ or pastebin [02:51] DasE1: EASY enough to try [02:51] alex_ok [02:51] blue1: that would be the old section of xorg.conf for that card [02:52] bazhang: /exit [02:52] BEER IS GOOD! [02:52] Can someone give me a hand in setting up virtual users on pure-ftpd? I tried a few of the howtos and none of them are accepting a virtual user. [02:52] Hello everyone [02:52] escott:http://paste.ubuntu.com/604660/ [02:52] Acid, wrong channel [02:52] Trying to figure out why resume isn't working on my i7 x220. dmesg Magic Numbers never hash to anything, but setting pm_test state to "core" seems to work OK. Regular resume just results in spinning CPU fans. [02:52] DasE1: Okay going to reboot brb [02:52] DasE1, it's not complete though. do you know if xorg.conf is all or nothing, or just override as needed? [02:52] If nobody here can help, is there someplace you could point me? [02:53] blue1: newer distros have no more xorg.conf's but it's still read if present, and case of no x, can delete the file from terminal [02:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/604660/ i have problem with this sound card [02:53] if grub is already installed, is it sufficient to run "update-grub" after installing new operating systems, or must one also run "grub-install" [02:53] GeneralAntilles: I'd verify that your video drivers aren't causing issues. I've seen a lot of copmtuers fail to resume based on video drivers not reposting properly. [02:53] Seven_Six_Two: see my last lines, well, the whole xorg.conf of a vm won't make sense, but I could generate one for a certain monitor [02:54] DasE1, the reason I ask, is because there is no "Screen" or "Display" section, and if it's all or notihing, he won't be able to start X [02:54] Blue1: what kind of monitor do you use ? [02:54] DasEi: my hdtv [02:55] command and conquer red altert 2,, how do you install it using wine? 10.10 ubuntu,, amd64 cpu amd 2.1 ghz 2gb drr2 ram [02:55] Blue1: umm, that wasn't common in hardy times, so I'll take generic LCD, second [02:55] html_inprogress, have you tried looking at their appdb? [02:55] Kijutsu: Intel HD 3000. Seems unlikely. === debian is now known as Guest19489 [02:56] html_inprogress, #winehq for specific apps [02:56] huh?? whats that appdb? [02:56] !appdb > html_inprogress [02:56] html_inprogress, this is not the place to ask about installing windows software, but you should be able to double click the installer, just like in windows. Check #wine and their appdb at winehq [02:56] html_inprogress, please see my private message === xxen0nxx is now known as khqsoftstudios [02:56] GeneralAntilles: unless intel has massively rebuilt their drivers, I'd say it's definitely that causing the problem. I've had a few dell towers fail to resume using intel graphics. [02:56] GeneralAntilles: just as a troubleshooting step, see if you can't drop to a really basic framebuffer driver and see if it resumes that way.' [02:56] html_inprogress, /join #winehq [02:57] escott:i miss ur type thanjs i will config it :) [02:57] thanks , i didnt know there was a channel still ... [02:57] grims, actually that doesn't say check `cat /proc/asound/pcm` [02:58] blue1: again, on your own risk, as there are modelines in (I choosed the lowest possible lcd, though) : [02:58] Thank you for the help guys - I got the audio back to my X60 with your insturctions / pulseaudio. [02:58] Blue1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/604664/ [02:58] DasE1: sure thanks that give me something to build on [02:58] how soon until natty gets a kernel update? [02:59] Blue1: the correct ones can be found, imho [02:59] DasE1: yeah maybe [02:59] Seven_Six_Two, maybe not but is the place to start,,) thanks [03:00] Blue1: /var/log/Xorg0.log is a good place to look up modelines, once X is running [03:00] ok [03:00] html_inprogress, np! good luck. Wine's website often tells you about stuff you have to do to make it work [03:00] hm, someone needs help with wine? [03:00] Can someone give me a hand in configuring pure-ftpd for virtual users? I've tried a few of the walkthroughs and none are working. [03:00] yes Mitsukaru [03:01] How do I change my laptop screen resolution in 11.04 ? I cant seem to find the options [03:01] Mitsukaru, yes and hi [03:01] what do i do if i get a "unable to connect to cifs host" error, the networked printer worked on ubuntu 10.10 [03:01] How do I check if a network card is connected? [03:01] i'm a noob but i might be able to help and i think wine is pretty awesome and cool :p [03:01] [03:01] escott: actually all have been turn on [03:01] hexa 1(mean on isn't?) [03:01] respect for the developers, they've always released a new version every two weeks and that's impressive. [03:01] i think i must adjust some config in alsa [03:02] hey html_inprogress :D [03:02] how do I change screen resolution in 11.04 ? [03:02] the sound is ALC888 [03:03] GunnDawg: system settings / monitors? [03:03] GunnDawg: Assuming gnome -> system -> preferences - > monitors [03:03] GunnDawg: Dash > Search Monitors or system > prefs > monitors [03:03] grims, there a couple of things that can go wrong with hda audio, basically because while the audio processing routines are standard each laptop connects the inputs and outputs differently to the ports and speakers on the case. so turning on one laptops speakers is another laptops headphone jack [03:03] ok I clicked monitors [03:04] but it only added a monitors icon to the unity tray [03:04] nothing came up [03:04] when I click it, it says laptop on the top left, but thats it [03:04] no options to change a resolution [03:04] grims, if you can match your laptop model and the chip ALC888 to that list you can give a set a snd-hda-intel option model=acer in your modules.d/alsa-base.conf to hint to the kernel how your soundcard is configured [03:04] GunnDawg: click on that, and then click configure display settings. . in there is a resolution dropdown box [03:05] Kijutsu, I dont see that option anywhere, I click monitors and nothing comes up [03:05] I bet one of the top ten faq's about unity is where in the hell did my interface for browsing network places go? [03:05] grims, then double check that alsamixer isn't muted, and if its still not working there is a low level tool hda_analyzer that will allow you to toggle switches on the soundcard to make it work [03:06] DasE1: got some weird errors - looking at now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/604666/ [03:06] hello, i unistalled pulseaudio and reinstalled it, now i don't hve a sound control applet, is there anyway to get it back? [03:06] /quit [03:06] GunnDawg: try to run the gnome-display-properties from console [03:06] DasE1, ;) [03:07] what package o yu need installed for the sound control applet? Or what do you have to do to enable it? Unity does'tseem to have the ability to right click configure the stuff up top [03:08] Blue1, it's because your xorg.conf file is incomplete. It seems it's all or nothing, so you need a complete xorg.conf give me a second and I'll see if I have one you can use as a reference [03:09] kinections: sound preferences can be found under speaker icon on top / sound preferences [03:09] Seven_Six_Two: going to try something else -- [03:09] manu_: the speaker icon does not exist anymore [03:09] manu_: that is the problem [03:09] manu_: i uninstalled pulseaudio, reinstalled it, and now the speaker icon has *disappered* [03:09] kinections: you can also run gnome-volume-control from console [03:09] manu_: is there a way to restore the icon? [03:09] if my wireless and lan card dissapear on ubuntu. what should i do ? [03:10] kinections: just a second.. [03:11] is the unity desktop now the default or did I accidently grab the notebook iso? [03:11] escott,ty very much... now i will reboot ... i'll tell u later [03:11] Blue1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/604667/ if you want it. Keep in mind I have 2 monitors and a tablet, so yours will be smaller. But at least it's a reference for you [03:11] Seven_Six_Two: yeah get fatal error no screens found [03:11] perlmonkey2: it is the default in 11.04 [03:12] Blue1, and my card was nvidia. That xorg is from 2007 [03:12] Seven_Six_Two: yeah noted [03:12] Seven_Six_Two: i think if I play with this, I wil eventualy get it - but this got my further along the path then I have been - thanks [03:12] kinections: the speaker icon is created by the gnome-volume-control-applet [03:12] Blue1, any time we can help! [03:13] Seven_Six_Two: maybe I will solve my touch pad sensitiviy problem as well [03:13] kinections: you can try to run the gnome-volume-control-applet from the console to see if it exist in the system still. [03:13] manu_: aparently, it is already running [03:13] however, it does not show up [03:13] 大家好 [03:13] Blue1, does your mouse cursor move when you're typing? [03:14] kinections: rebooting / logout-login does not help to the problem? [03:14] Blue1, I have lazy wrists ;) so I had to disable tapping to click on my touchpad. [03:14] manu_: i'lltry it again, but i have done that at least once with no change [03:14] kinections: is indicator-sound installed? [03:15] Seven_Six_Two: i need to slow down the speed senstivity it is MUCH too sensensitive (ubuntu 10.10 on a netbook) [03:15] good links for manual switching to ipv4 ver 11.04 [03:15] trism: noe, i'm installing now [03:16] well Ubuntu Cloud Server is out since the GUI has basically nothing useful (same for other open source cloud solutions) [03:16] but I think I can still use ubuntu server [03:16] in proxmox === leonalthor is now known as sunmay08leon [03:16] Blue1, I believe you can just use the mouse settings. [03:16] can anyone here help me with isc-dhcp4? already asked in #ubuntu-server ... no reply --- getting Segmentation Fault [03:17] Seven_Six_Two: yeah I have played with that in the past, with no luck [03:17] trism: it did not seem to help though, i'll restart just in case [03:17] elang: sudo lshw -class network , you could paste the result in http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and post the link back here. [03:17] or log in and out [03:17] ok S4RY [03:18] The text seems kinda blurry on my fresh install of 11.04 on my laptop, any clues why ? [03:18] okay need a break - thanks for all your help [03:18] glasses? [03:18] kinections: is this in unity or standard gnome? if gnome you may need to add the indicator-applet to your panel [03:18] trism: loging out and back in fixed it [03:18] trism: thanks, it is unity [03:19] Chevy787, no not glasses, I have fine vision [03:19] of course, this doesn't fix my surround sound issues , but its at least back to what was post upgrade :) [03:19] GunnDawg, I'm really uncertain then, I'd say wait for a expert to help :s [03:19] ok [03:19] if anybody knows how to get digital surround sound working.... it stopped working post 11.04 upgrade [03:20] I am still deciding if I wanna go back to 10.10 or not [03:20] GunnDawg: have you checked the display drivers? you can run the "additional drivers" to find out if the chip vendor has non-gpl driver. [03:20] manu_, ok hang on [03:20] can someone help me, or point me to a chanell that can help me with my x11vnc [03:20] manu_, no proprietary drivers in use [03:21] does anyone know if you can get the translate page tool on chromium, or does firefox have one? [03:21] GunnDawg: and the additional drivers can not find any? [03:21] nope [03:21] manu_, nope [03:22] GunnDawg: are you using external monitor? is the monitor connected with the analog VGA cable? [03:22] just regular laptop monitor [03:22] no externals [03:23] manu_, it might be clearing up and im just tired, I dont know, just doesnt seem as clear and crisp as 10.10, could be me though [03:23] Hello [03:23] GunnDawg: are you using your native resolution with the display?

[04:22] !java | quint [04:22] quint: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [04:22] Well uh ya so 11.04 should I get it or a diff version [04:22] quint: i think you can use openjdk-jre. try the software center else synaptic [04:22] tensa_zangetsu: Huh? [04:22] thanks! [04:22] :) [04:22] Roblah: use what you want [04:22] datgui: did you do apt-get install grub or just apt-get grub? [04:22] Your guys opinion [04:23] datgui: What guide are you using? [04:23] tensa_zangetsu, cheese worked. I can try it again. [04:23] xangua: What do you use [04:23] tensa_zangetsu: apt-get grub [04:23] !ot | Roblah [04:23] Roblah: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:23] i use what i want [04:23] Jordan_U: the one at the bottom [04:24] for using windows as a bootloader [04:24] hi everyone from germany [04:24] tripelb: for me it says invalid operation. how did it actually do something in your case? [04:24] datgui: Please tell me the exact link. [04:24] That was ubuntu related [04:24] Jordan_U: The one Ubottu gave me. [04:25] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [04:25] tensa_zangetsu, cheese works. But it makes me want to get a webcam with not such a fuzzy picture. Is that the best it can do or is cheese limited? [04:25] you have a pussy. i have a dick. so what is the problem? let's do it quick! [04:25] datgui: apt-get is not mentioned anywhere on that page.

[04:27] datgui: What command gives you that error? [04:27] S4RY, i mean wireless not ethernet [04:27] I tried apt-get installing Xorg, but I can't find the proper way to invoke it. [04:27] I tried sudo telinit 5, and that had no effect. [04:28] logitech webcam, cheese works. But it makes me want to get a webcam with not such a fuzzy picture. Is that the best it can do or is cheese limited? [04:28] just sudo Xorg locks the system up good.

[04:28] can someonen tell me the syntax to open a photo from the command line? [04:28] So I just tried upgrading to 11.04 from 10.10, my upgrade says about 4 minutes remaining and its said this for about 5 hours now. The last line in the terminal is: Installing new version of config file /etc/init/mysql.conf ... What to do? [04:28] Jordan_U: grub [04:29] logitech webcam cheese works. not skype. 10.04 quickcam for notebooks. any hints. roblah what did I do? [04:29] B0g4r7: sudo service gdm start, if so [04:29] Jordan_U: I cant follow the guide [04:29] datgui: That's part of the instructions for restoring grub legacy. You aren't using grub legacy. [04:29] :checks: [04:29] i can only see availble networks in wicd, not the default connections manager, instead it says "wireless is disabled", im using 11.04 with broadcom driver activated [04:29] ah [04:29] datgui: Follow the guide for restoring grub2. [04:29] Jordan_U: i cant [04:29] elang: does the output says : State: Connected ! [04:29] tripelb: I asked what version I should get and someone gave me a stupid message [04:29] tripelb: don't think it's a problem with cheese cos my webcam works well. maybe it' blurred because it's out of focus or something? for my logitech webcam, i could rotate the lens and it would blur/sharpen depending on the direction. bad lighing may also be an issue. or driver problem. [04:30] Jordan_U: when i type mount | tail -1 i get a weird output [04:30] datgui: Weird in what way? [04:31] Installing gdm now. thx. [04:31] Jordan_U: it says "gvfs-daemon on /home/ubuntu/.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=ubuntu) [04:31] does that make any sense? [04:31] datgui: Yes. [04:31] btw this is an 11.04 livedvd [04:31] what do i do with that output Jordan_U ? [04:32] tensa_zangetsu, I think it's a cheap fuzzy one. There's a button on top that clicks but does nothing I can tell. -- now for skype. How to get it working? Do you know if I can test it without making a call or with a test call? [04:32] anyone know the syntax to open a photo from cl? [04:33] datgui: Those instructions aren't very good. Just run "mount" rather than "mount | tail -1" to see all of the lines. (Do *not* paste them directly into this channel though). [04:33] so Jordan_U what exactly do i type [04:33] serio_ : program_name filename [04:33] right now i have a fresh terminal [04:34] nothing on it [04:34] serio_: only i don't know what program opens photos [04:34] tensa_zangetsu: alright [04:34] S4RY, no state disconnected [04:34] datgui: "mount". [04:34] serio_: what i told you was basically useless [04:34] datgui: just enter mount in terminal and copy output to : [04:34] !paste [04:34] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [04:34] ok Jordan_U i typed mount [04:34] now what? [04:35] tensa_zangetsu: so what do i do? [04:35] i cant DasEi i am on try ubuntu livedvd so [04:35] tensa_zangetsu: i got this wetab [04:35] datgui: Copy the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com and give us a link. [04:35] dont know the program [04:35] tripelb: open skype options and go to video. there's a dropdown box to select your camera. so first thing is to check if your camera shows up there. if so, click "test now" [04:35] tensa_zangetsu, my webcam is 640x480 only. [04:36] Jordan_U: i cant [04:36] datgui: I don't want to disturb Jordan_U; you can pastebin from livecd , just click the first address of above factoid [04:36] tripelb: ah ok. you might also want to get v4l2ucp. allows you to change various camera options like brightness, bla bla bla. [04:36] tensa_zangetsu, how do you get to skype options. [04:36] ok i clicked on firefox DasEi [04:36] and ubuntu freaks out [04:36] how do I access my encrypted home directory from a Live CD? [04:36] why does this happen? [04:36] right click on skype icon in the indicator place and select options [04:36] tensa_zangetsu: thanks [04:36] or just open skype and ctrl + o [04:37] datgui: Please don't ever say that something "freaked out" again. It's useless as a description. Please tell us what you actually saw. [04:37] datgui: freaks out means ? [04:37] Sorry. [04:37] ah [04:37] serio_: cool! but doesn't that come with a meego based os? shouldnt you be able to see photos anyway? [04:38] * DasEi leans back, stops confusing [04:38] i removed fglrx and installed ati drivers then it rebooted and now gnome session wont load. i tried to reinstall gnome shell even tried reinstall unity using recovery console restarted many times but no session will load i just get the login screen ... how do i fix this ? [04:38] Jordan_U: The screen flashes multiple times,and then everything dissapears. [04:38] i can only see availble networks in wicd, not the default connections manager, instead it says "wireless is disabled", im using 11.04 with broadcom driver activated [04:38] removed fglrx and installed ati drivers???? fglrx ARE the proprietary ati drivers [04:39] datgui: OK. Do you have another computer that you can burn a CD from? [04:39] how do I get a 32 bit version of a library? [04:39] anyone know how to access my encrypted home folder from a live cd? ubuntu won't boot up and I need to re install, but need to backup some files [04:39] rageinside: you cant use wicd and neetwork manager at the same time if that is what you ask [04:39] Jordan_U: I could burn it from my windows os [04:39] tensa_zangetsu, control-o FTW -- how would anyone know? [04:39] is there a app that i can make iso? [04:39] but no i dont [04:39] tensa_zangetsu i used the ati one on the website [04:39] the live cds i made in the past worked fine [04:40] datgui: Burning it from Windows is fine. Do you mind burning another CD? It's not required but will make things much easier for you. [04:40] xangua: network manager does not see any networks, so I installed wicd and I can connect to networks but i'd rather use network manager [04:40] what is keeping linux from being a common desktop os [04:40] S4RY, its say state disconnected. [04:40] what barriers are keeping it from being adopted? [04:40] Jordan_U: Sure, you think it is the dvd's fault? [04:40] anyone know how to access my encrypted home folder from a live cd? ubuntu won't boot up and I need to re install, but need to backup some files [04:40] !ot | Lesterwood [04:40] Lesterwood: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[04:41] So I just tried upgrading to 11.04 from 10.10, my upgrade says about 4 minutes remaining and its said this for about 5 hours now. The last line in the terminal is: Installing new version of config file /etc/init/mysql.conf ... What to do? [04:41] shagywashere: http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/Ecryptfs/#Live [04:41] Bulldog: did you follow the proper procedure for uninstalling and installing?http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Category:Installation_Documentation [04:41] datgui: No, I just think that it would be easier for you to use a CD called Super GRUB2 Disk which will automate most of the process. [04:41] DasEi, thanks [04:41] Jordan_U: Where can I find a link? :D [04:42] would someone be able to answer questions regarding iptables regarding using my ubuntu as a gateway or is there a more appropriate channel? [04:42] datgui: http://download.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso [04:42] logost: just ask and see [04:42] tensa_zangetsu yeah those commands are what i used [04:43] Lesterwood: people's don't move my cheese behaviour. they know windows want to use only windows. hardware support is another problem. not linux's fault but happens. and of course some software isn't available for gnu/linux [04:43] ah [04:43] i see [04:43] hardware support IS a issue [04:44] After all the stuff I went through to get this msi wifi driver's working.. I just updated ubuntu and now my wifi is gone AGAIN XD [04:44] tensa_zangetsu, did it all. tested video. video does not show in skype. lists my cam as USB Camera (046d:08dd) (/dev/video0) [04:44] now I am trying to reinstall the drivers and hope that works.. wtf? [04:45] tripelb: since it lists your cam, should work. when you say video doesn't show, it doesn't show at all or there are problems with it? [04:46] tensa_zangetsu, it stays black after the word test vanishes (after I click on it) [04:46] tensa_zangetsu, is advertising and publicity a issue? [04:46] working again.. thats fucking crazy. [04:46] is there some sort of mouse calibration? i noticed that with the newest version of ubuntu, i have to move the curse beyond what i want to actually click on [04:46] angelic: no cursing please [04:46] Sorry. [04:46] elang: make sure your wireless router is on along with your pc wi-fi switch. [04:46] datgui: Documentation is here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/SuperGRUB2Disk . You'll want to boot from Super GRUB2 Disk then choose the "Detect any GRUB2 installation (even if mbr is overwritten)" option, which should bring up another menu with only a single option like "Load /boot/grub/core.img from (hd0,5)". Select that and it should boot Ubuntu from your hard drive. [04:47] Lesterwood: yeah that's true as well. most people just aren't aware that there's a better alternative [04:47] is there a reason linux dosen't invest more in ads [04:47] datgui: Once you're booted into Ubuntu on your hard drive just run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc -pcritical". And it will be fixed permanently. [04:48] Lesterwood: This is a channel for Ubuntu support questions. Please move other discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic.

When you enable the ''screenshot'' plugin in compiz and take a shot, the rendered png image will look bluish. I have read the forums and is documented, but has anyone found a fix ? (not disabling the unity compluz plugin) [04:59] how do I get a 32 bit version of a library? I copied liblua* from a 32bit install, but there has to be a better solution than this, I feel like i kludged my system [04:59] 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. [04:59] haha I think you ment restart [05:00] hmm sudo service gdm start shows its pid and sudo service gdm restart says process doesnt exsist [05:00] or unknown instance to be exact [05:00] Jordan_U: Is the download supposed to weigh 1.4 mbs? :0 [05:00] datgui: Yes.

[05:01] DasEi, I would assume so [05:02] sup [05:02] DasEi, yeah it says about gnome [05:02] in system === SudoKing_ is now known as SudoKing [05:03] im going to get yelled at for asking such a stupid question but [05:03] Bulldog, probbally "cp -a" but it depends on what your doing [05:04] how can I link command to a clickable icon [05:04] i dont want to run it in terminal and type it in every time [05:04] a shortcut so to speak [05:04] gskellig, create a launcher [05:05] ah thanks [05:05] i was having trouble figuring out exactly what to google for [05:05] pfifo well seeing as i cant log in to a session im in recovery console and want to copy all the filesystem to my slave drive so i can reinstall ubuntu [05:05] Bulldog: better use rsync -Pr [05:05] Bulldog, youll want to do it from a livecd [05:06] Bulldog, rsync is better for what your doing [05:06] ok [05:06] pfifo: why not from init1 ? [05:06] although cp will work too, most of the time [05:07] rsync is faster, does checking and is resumable [05:07] DasEi, upstart dosent have runlevels [05:07] bulldog, you might also consider consider using tar to copy a filesystem. [05:07] pfifo: has, f.e. single-user mode is init 1 [05:08] pfifo: can try : sudo init 1 [05:08] B0g4r7 tar like a zip folder ? [05:09] DasEi, i always prefer to mount my old and new partitions in /mnt on a livecd or different install so that I dont end up copying the contents of /mnt/ to /mnt/ [05:09] DasEi, I know it dosent actually do that, but it generates a warnning message an my brain compiles with -Werror [05:10] pfifo: unless dd for a clone, you can copy from one drive to another native [05:10] Ugg had to bight the bullet and reboot [05:10] going to try those commands now :) [05:10] tar -pc my_files | tar -pxC /path/to/destination [05:10] please can anyone tell me how to remove this unity and get stock gnome back?

[05:20] thanks all :) [05:20] html_inprogress: yes, can softraid ide/ata mix === rodrigo is now known as rodrigo___ [05:21] DasEi, no no, you didnt answer the REAL question, how do I get a 32bit version of a library [05:22] pfifo: you could use getlibs, but I'm not a friend of it, why is it needed ? [05:22] !info getlibs [05:22] Package getlibs does not exist in natty [05:23] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 [05:23] DasEi, because im a programmer [05:24] right then, own risk, can bork the sys , pfifo [05:24] html_inprogress: did you want to make an image or mount it ? === quiesense is now known as quiescens [05:27] cant find my disk and debian 6 wont recognise a dam usb stick [05:27] Bulldog: ubuntu here; sudo fdisk -l ? [05:28] DasEi, ok that page looks like what i need [05:28] thanks [05:28] np [05:29] DasEi that command doesnt see usb stick on debian but im using ubuntu recovery console to download new ubuntu iso [05:30] DasEi, just fyi, RA2 cd is copy protected, you cant legally make an iso image, and dd wount work [05:30] Bulldog: mm, no good sign; lsusb ? [05:30] Bulldog lsusb? [05:30] err, what DasEi said [05:30] pfifo: I haven't seen a single answer from html_inprogress === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest26847 [05:32] DasEi seems like it turned on the device ...

[05:33] DasEi: I am getting closer to getting my old ati rage card to work - got the right driver loaded now: r128, but still getting no screens found error [05:34] Blue1: save you current xorg.conf, then : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, then use it's screen section for the saved xorg ;) [05:34] you=your [05:34] I Just installed ubuntu 11.04 in my inspiron 1318, everything fine SD Slot not working [05:35] okay will try that [05:36] DasEi yes its mounted but the folder wont open :S [05:36] Bulldog: permission problem ?

[05:37] sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/mnt [05:38] Bulldog: just enter mount in terminal === raju is now known as Mralone [05:39] DasEi oh it finally loaded [05:39] hehe [05:40] Blue1, that probabally wont work, x11-server dosent ship with an xorg.conf anymore, first try removig your xorg.conf all together, and if that doesnt work, you can generate an xorg.conf with `Xorg -configure` [05:40] ... [05:40] pfifo [05:41] pfifo: ok [05:41] Blue1: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file?

[05:42] Hey my titlebar text is 100% transparent in 11.04...how can i turn that off? [05:43] windows 7 won't show up in grub how do i fix that [05:43] soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/604698/ [05:43] Actually the text is only transparent if it makes it to the right hand side of the window [05:43] Flynsarmy: Can you still grab it? [05:43] soreau: yes. it's pretty weird. the titlebar itself is fine - just hte text is transaprent [05:43] soreau: and only transparent on the right side of the window [05:44] shagywashere "sudo update-grub" i believe [05:44] Blue1: What does 'lspci|grep VGA' show? [05:45] Flynsarmy: Sounds like you've built emerald yourself which is entirely unsupported [05:45] soreau: 02:0a.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PP/PRO TMDS [Xpert 128] [05:45] Bulldog, thanks [05:45] ! emerald | Flynsarmy [05:45] Flynsarmy: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [05:45] soreau: i dont even know what emerald is, let alone how to build it :) [05:46] soreau: I am using my hdtv vga input -- have had not problems hooking up my netbook to this [05:46] Flynsarmy: Probably a compiz bug then.. what is the output of 'ps ax|grep gtk-win|grep -v grep'? [05:46] soreau: no output [05:46] Why is Ubuntu trying to force a partial upgrade including removing gnome-desktop? [05:46] I like my gnome-desktop [05:46] Flynsarmy: ps ax|egrep "gtk-win|emerald|compiz"|grep -v grep [05:47] SaxonMatt: classic desktop isn't gone. log out and select it in the drop down at the bottom of the screen [05:47] soreau: /usr/bin/compiz and /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/compiz-decorator [05:47] Blue1: What happens when you try without an xorg.conf? [05:47] flynsarmy, I have it right now in 11.04, but the partial upgrade is trying to remove the gnome-desktop [05:47] ola alguien habla español :( [05:47] :( [05:48] !es [05:48] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [05:48] Flynsarmy: Are you using kde by chance? [05:48] soreau: nope - gnome. it's pretty much default 11.04 but on classic desktop [05:48] Flynsarmy: Try 'gtk-window-decorator --replace' [05:48] soreau: it comes up, and works but there is no hardware acceleration [05:49] soreau: that didn't make a difference [05:49] Blue1: You can't get 3D with Rage cards [05:49] Blue1: It's not enough to run compiz [05:49] soreau: I don't want 3d or compiz -- I just want to be able to run youtub. [05:49] Flynsarmy: Does 'ps ax|grep gtk-win|grep -v grep' show output now? [05:50] Blue1: You don't need 3D for youtube AFAIK [05:50] soreau: yes. shows the command you mentioned [05:50] Blue1: Just flash.. [05:50] gracias [05:50] Flynsarmy: Can you show a screenshot? [05:50] soreau: yup - it's very choppy [05:50] Blue1: Well ati rage cards are over ten years old [05:50] Blue1: I wouldn't expect much out of it [05:50] I am interested on some feedback on this idea. I have a elderly neighbour whose computer is going slow. I was going to format and reload WinXP but she has no COA. I am thinking about installing ubuntu with the XP theme. [05:51] She mainly uses outlook express and word viewer which are both ok in wine [05:51] soreau: yeah I think you maybe right - [05:51] I'm trying to free up space in my hard disk, long time ago I made backup copies in other harddisk, I need a program to find duplicate files so I can delete them safely in one of the harddrives. Is FSlint the best option available? I would rather use name/name comparison instead of byte/byte [05:51] Blue1: your location ? [05:51] DasEi: physical location? tucson [05:52] What is the command to search the repo's ?? [05:52] Blue1: ah, too far, could have sent an old tnt else, but let's stay topic, germany here [05:52] Blue1, make sure flash isnt using HW acceleration, if its trying to, then it will be using mesa's software rasterizer and hence the slowdown. [05:52] Blue1: You want at least a radeon 9xxx to have any kind of support with the radeon driver [05:53] Al_nz1: Giving Ubuntu an XP theme will only confuse things further. Just give her Ubuntu and be honest that it's Ubuntu. If needed add huge icons to the desktop for the applications she needs. [05:53] soreau: i really don't have an abundance of pci video cards - this was the best one [05:53] okay [05:53] ubuntu, HDMI [05:53] work? [05:53] X -configure fails with this error: http://pastebin.com/MBqYfNyR What do I do? [05:54] Blue1: And PCI.. not even agp, that's even worse === croppa is now known as croppa_ [05:54] pfifo: how do I disble hw acceleration for flash? [05:54] Blue1: You should be glad it works as well as it does :) [05:54] soreau: indeed -- but it otherwise runs fine (old compaq deskpro) [05:54] cntrational, install vmware tools package [05:55] soreau: for some reason, it tops out a 512 meg o ram - it won't take any more [05:55] what kind of questions are we allowed to ask here? [05:55] pfifo: ok, hold on [05:55] Blue1: It's just plain old [05:55] dizzyfoxkit: Anything related to Ubuntu [05:55] Blue1: Try getting a system made within the last decade [05:56] dizzyfoxkit: anything related to Ubuntu, except opinion questions [05:56] alright, then how would I install ubuntu over Lan via PXE from another ubuntu system [05:56] dizzyfoxkit: stuff like "what do you think about Unity?" generally isn't allowed [05:57] Unity is a touchy topic :/ [05:57] dizzyfoxkit: This is the official support channel for ubuntu. You can ask questions directly related to ubuntu [05:57] dizzyfoxkit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations [05:57] dizzyfoxkit: you can go to #ubuntu-offtopic for that [05:57] Blue1, right click on the movie and select settings, youll see the checkbox [05:57] Jordan_U: Being honest has nothing to do with it. I will tell her its linux, but I fear that she is too old for the learning curve of a new system, hence giving her Outlook Express under wine [05:58] pfifo: what's the package name? [05:58] how do you stop adobe flash plugin from adding your entire home folder, sudo etc to #sharedobjects? [05:58] Al_nz1: Changing the theme doesn't change the behavior. I don't think theming Ubuntu as XP will help at all in the learning curve. [05:58] cntrational, its a CD from the vmware site. (you are running in a vmware machine right) [05:59] pfifo: uh [05:59] pfifo: no [05:59] cntrational, then you should not be trying to use the vmware xorg module lol [05:59] pfifo: I am? [05:59] soreau: http://i.imgur.com/5jPzj.png [06:00] pfifo: oh, that, I don't know why that comes up [06:00] pfifo: otherwise I wouldn't be here [06:00] network cards not active after first install.they both worked fine but after first reboot stopped working?is this normal for ubuntu?do I have to reinstall drivers every time I log in? [06:01] cntrational, try running without an xorg.conf, what happens? [06:01] Jordan_U:If there is any learning curve at all then I think the whole idea will fail, but at the end of the day she needs three things in essence 1) outlook express 2) my documents 3) some sort of easy word processor [06:01] pfifo: don't have a xorg.conf === cheri is now known as cheri_sha [06:02] cntrational, and it still doesnt work? pastebin you /var/log/Xorg.0.log file [06:02] pfifo: hold on [06:02] Al_nz1: Then, again, I would put those things as huge desktop icons, maybe even removing other Application menus entirely, and be sure that outlook express is going to be rock solid in wine. [06:03] pfifo: http://pastebin.com/HkatSw8y [06:03] Jordan_U: agreed [06:04] how do you mount a single disk that was ext 3, raid mirrored? [06:04] i think its showing in fdisk as /dev/sde4 [06:05] cntrational, your log is outdated, `sudo rm /var/log/Xorg.0.log` `startx` and then pastebin the new log [06:05] Al_nz1: If that's really it then sudo mount /dev/sde4 /mnt/ it will be placed in the /mnt folder [06:05] pfifo: ok [06:05] Al_nz1: /mnt is there for mounting stuff in === cheri_sha is now known as cheri === cheri is now known as cheri_sha [06:07] Hi , im getting an error Code(2) from dpkg when trying to run a system upgrade via sudo apt-get upgrade in the Terminal...the log at : http://pastie.org/1876975...Thanks :'( [06:07] edbian: I think i need to use mdadm [06:07] Al_nz1: possibly [06:07] edbian: would you know of a walkthrough that assumes its user has almost no networking experience? [06:08] why wont gparted let me resize a ntfs partition with the new ubuntu livecd ? [06:09] BUlldog , what does it say ? [06:09] just all boxes grey'd out in the resize option [06:09] <[oneUp]> first link on google with gparted nfs returns: sudo apt-get ntfsprogs [06:10] bullldog , sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs [06:10] it needs the required support files. [06:10] how would I install ubuntu via PXE if I have zero networking experience? [06:10] ntfsprogs is newest version [06:10] <[oneUp]> ok.. it was the third comment but yeah.. I remember being annoyed by not being there by default [06:10] dizzyfoxkit: Find a tutorial or find an experienced friend or wait for someone in the IRC :P [06:10] <[oneUp]> sometime ago maybe.. [06:10] Bulldog: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [06:10] dizzyfoxkit: installing from usb or iso is easier [06:11] <[oneUp]> oh yeah =) that's the tone [06:11] ashmew2 thats ewest as well [06:11] newest* [06:11] <[oneUp]> ah bin la.. [06:11] <[oneUp]> i mean.. have fun [06:11] <[oneUp]> are they fine in windows these partitions now [06:11] yup [06:12] jbicha: quite true, if you have something that can burn the iso or the computer you want to install to can boot from usb [06:12] <^Phantom^> How can I reinstall the viders on here? 10.10 [06:13] ashmew2: tutorials are non-existant or uninformative, and I'm the most ubuntu-savi person in my group of friends [06:13] dizzyfoxkit: you don't have to burn the iso to boot from it [06:13] dizzyfoxkit, todo a PXE install youll need a working linux install to begin with [06:13] jbicha: I have that [06:13] <[oneUp]> Bulldog, maybe you can do it by console! [06:13] <[oneUp]> can you create a folder and mount /dev/sdxx or hdxx ntfs partition to a folder? [06:14] <[oneUp]> just to see if your file partition isn't messed up? [06:14] it mounts and shows files [06:14] jbicha: sorry wrong person [06:14] bulldog : [06:14] sudo apt-get update [06:14] sudo apt-get install --reinstall ntfs-progs libntfs10 libntfs-3g23 gparted [06:14] pfifo: I have a working linux installation, just no networking knowledge to do PXE [06:15] [oneUp]: Yes [06:15] <[oneUp]> is there a lot of people here from quebec province or montreal? [06:15] dizzyfoxkit: there's a couple different ways to boot from ISO: here's 1 guide [06:15] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549847 [06:15] dizzyfoxkit: why do u exactly want to network install ? i mean ISOs/USBs/CDs ? [06:15] dizzyfoxkit, you dont need networking knowledge, you need a dhcp and tftp server. [06:16] my opinion is it's a lot easier than pxe if you've never done it before [06:16] i'm looking for a command to give me my arch and the release name, the same things that apt uses to figure out it's url [06:16] pfifo: which need to be set up and configured by hand from what i've seen. [06:16] so.. something like "natty" and "amd64" [06:17] amstan, lsb_release -a [06:17] but maybe that's because I boot from iso all the time & I've only done pxe a few times long ago [06:17] ashmew2 doesnt work [06:17] pfifo: any way to get arch? [06:17] <[oneUp]> Bulldog, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/ntfsresize.8.html [06:17] amstan: ifconfig [06:17] dizzyfoxkit, PXE server is an advanced topic [06:17] <[oneUp]> you can do it by command line! [06:17] <^Phantom^> Can someone please help me reinstall the graphics drivers on 10.10? [06:18] pfifo: uname -a is not good, it gives me i686, not i386 for 32 bit [06:18] pfifo: so i'm better off staying away from it if i can? [06:18] amstan: uname -a [06:18] amstan, uname -m [06:18] amstan: 686 IS 32 bit [06:18] does anyone know how to get hdmi to work on a tv in ubuntu? [06:18] celthunder: yes, but apt doesn't use i686, uses i386 in its urls [06:18] [oneUp] ill try [06:18] most things from like 386 is like p1 etc [06:18] <[oneUp]> I'm always scared when resizing a partition and then changing the partition table with fdisk but I'm sure it works [06:18] aaron_wayne: should work out of the box. [06:18] dizzyfoxkit, it will take you 20 times longer to setup pxe server than installing from iso... of course if you have 20 computers or more... it could be a time saver [06:18] it cuts off the top part of my screen and goes black, and the tv shows the taskbar at the top but thats it [06:19] does anyone know how to fix the error "error: hd0 out of disk" [06:19] <[oneUp]> as anybody setup and tested a classroom of computers with edubuntu? [06:19] celthunder: should be something in this form: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/mc see bottom [06:19] ashmew2: i'm just trying to install ubuntu through an lan connection because I simply can't install it any other way [06:19] dizzyfoxkit: I am about to do a net install. if you decide that is the way to go PM me and I can help you out. [06:19] <[oneUp]> or has any experience with it [06:19] Anyone know why the text on the right side of my title window is transparent? http://i.imgur.com/5jPzj.png [06:19] nowat, do you know where to configure any of this? I couldnt find it on the system settings [06:20] pfifo: then what would you advise if I can't install from cd or usb? [06:20] Flynsarmy: that option is not avail [06:20] <[oneUp]> Flynsarmy I had that in eclipse, Preference / Appearance and change some colors [06:20] nowat: net install is an installation from the web correct? [06:20] dizzyfoxkit, open the computer and move the hard drive to a computer that can use a cd/usb [06:20] <^Phantom^> So nobody knows how to reinstall graphics drivers? [06:20] [oneUp]: in eclipse prefs? this isn't eclipse so I doubt the same options apply :) [06:20] aaron_wayne: is this as a secondary monitor? [06:20] <^Phantom^> Just great, gotta reinstall the whole OS again, it looks [06:20] almoxarife: the option to stop it being transparent isn't available? [06:21] ^Phantom^: uninstallthem and reinstall them [06:21] <[oneUp]> Flynsarmy, no. in ubuntu sorry [06:21] ^Phantom^: shouldn't be anything hard.. [06:21] nowat, yeah, im on a laptop and tryin to connect to a television [06:21] <[oneUp]> my eclipse was using these values partially maybe because I had same front/back color on a sidebar window [06:21] ^Phantom^: What video card do you have? [06:22] <^Phantom^> I'm afraid I'll screw up the OS [06:22] [oneUp] says illegal new volume size [06:22] dizzyfoxkit: negative, I mean via LAN [06:22] ^Phantom^: lspci will show you the video card make/model. [06:22] ^Phantom^: at worst you cwont have a working X which you can then just fix your modules and you'll be fine [06:22] nowat: let me do some research and i'll get back to you on that? [06:22] aaron_wayne: System>Preferences>Monitors should do it for you [06:22] dizzyfoxkit: what do you have to work with for net installing? [06:22] any way to get arch name in the format that dpkg uses(see bottom: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/mc), uname -a won't do [06:22] <^Phantom^> ATI Radeon Xpress 200 [06:22] ^Phantom^: Was it working before? [06:23] <[oneUp]> What's ur ntfsresize line [06:23] <^Phantom^> It works fine, usr13 [06:23] dizzyfoxkit: no prob, I'll be around for a few hours getting this running [06:23] <^Phantom^> I just need to reinstall them [06:23] ^Phantom^: Then what is it you need to do? [06:23] <^Phantom^> Reinstall them [06:23] nowat, yeah, the only problem with that is that the only real option i see is to detect monitors, which i need the tv plugged up to do that and when it is it cuts off my screen so i cant do anything [06:23] amstan: dpkg --print-architecture [06:23] ntfsresize -s g 631 -n /dev/sda1 [oneUp] [06:23] <^Phantom^> It's what should be done to fix an issue I'm having with a program [06:23] amstan: that works? [06:23] pfifo: I'd rather avoid opening up a computer as I don't have a grounding band, my house has nothing but carpet. [06:23] celthunder: yep, now we're talking, thanks [06:23] ^Phantom^: If it's working fine, what is it you need to re-install? [06:24] ^Phantom^: What issue? [06:24] <[oneUp]> try -s 361g [06:24] <[oneUp]> or G [06:24] <^Phantom^> usr13, i'm trying to fix the minecraft crash issue [06:24] [oneUp] same result [06:24] dizzyfoxkit, why cant you use a cd/usb anyway? [06:24] aaron_wayne: I'm not sure; if I remember correctly it should auto detect and show any connected monitors in the display. [06:24] amstan: you trying to figure out which package to use for midnight commander? [06:24] [oneUp] maybe if i back up data and reformat ? [06:25] ^Phantom^: minecraft? Is that a game? [06:25] izinucs: no, that was an example, trying to get a script to know what repo to use [06:25] <^Phantom^> yes [06:25] pfifo: nothing I have can burn to a cd, and the computer that I want to install ubuntu on won't boot from usb, its a slightly older computer [06:25] ^Phantom^: And the video driver is making it crash? [06:25] <^Phantom^> Supposedly [06:26] [oneUp]: hmm. none of hte colour options are for titlebar text and i like the colours for hte rest of ubuntu the way they are [06:26] amstan: that worked on mine it work for you? [06:26] <^Phantom^> http://getsatisfaction.com/mojang/topics/minecraft_crashes_on_startup_ubuntu_10_10 [06:26] celthunder: yes, it's good, thanks [06:26] the help.ubuntu site says that to get PHP config to work with MYSQL, I need to locate the directory mysql.so and mysqli.so are, if I want to install those functions. Problem is, the only files matching locate are libqsqlmysql.so and libqsqlite.so [06:26] amy_: do you have mysql installed? [06:26] i upgraded to 11.10 and i am getting following error in vlc ..any idea how to fix it "No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "mp4v". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this" [06:27] cellardoor, yes, and mysql-admin [06:27] amy_: should be with the other php plugins... [06:27] celthunder, also -server and -admin for mysql [06:27] i don't suppose anyone can tell me why in natty bash seems to be ignoring my .profile? [06:27] Can I make my computer adjust its volume with headphone buttons? Like how the iPods do. [06:27] <[oneUp]> Bulldog: so your increasing the partition I guess, and no other partition is taking that place? [06:28] ryan-c: try putting it in .xinitrc instead? [06:28] celthunder: Um, what? [06:28] [oneUp] decreasing to 631gb make way for a 300gb partition [06:28] ryan-c: more of a workaround than an answer but...meh if it's going to ignore one file put it in another [06:29] o_O [06:29] ryan-c, .bash_profile is used by login shells, you want .bashrc [06:29] sorry i just installed samba but I cant share thru gnome/nautilus? [06:29] <^Phantom^> usr13, apparently what I need is here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.7&product=2.7.4.3.3.3.1&lang=English [06:30] <[oneUp]> wow.. that is annoying. You could try backing up, deleting all partitions, and create from scratch. [06:30] this behaviour seems to have changed since ubuntu 9.10 [06:30] LAcan uninstall samba got to folder options click share it will ask to install samba then should work [06:30] [oneUp] worth a go [06:30] nowat, k, cool thanks for the help, i was able to play around and get full screen [06:30] Bulldog, ty will try that [06:30] but yeah, .bashrc works [06:30] ryan-c, why do you say that? [06:30] <[oneUp]> So in 1500 ppl here, nobody used edubuntu in a classroom? [06:30] <[oneUp]> or set it up [06:31] <[oneUp]> and I'm probably pushing it but.. from north america? [06:31] pfifo: because I'm altering my $PATH in .profile and this worked in ubuntu 9.10 [06:31] celthunder, is extension_dir = "/usr/lib/php5/ext" acceptable or should ext have a trailing /? [06:31] [oneUp]: for an ltsp setup? [06:31] nowat: alright, i'll bite on netboot. What exactly are you doing? [06:31] i upgraded to 11.10 and i am getting following error in vlc ..any idea how to fix it "No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "mp4v". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this" [06:31] <[oneUp]> Bulldog: if that doesn't work, you have a weird issue! [06:31] dizzyfoxkit: I'll get you in PM [06:31] ^Phantom^: looking... [06:32] <^Phantom^> What's 10.10's distro year? [06:32] ryan-c, ahh, well this has always been the way it works, perhaps 9.10 was parsing profile from rc for some reason [06:32] amy_: mines in /usr/lib/php5/20090626/mysql.so [06:32] ^Phantom^: Oct. 2010 [06:32] <^Phantom^> Ah, then that won't work. [06:33] [oneUp] yup its only a ntfs because its my game and music drive and sometimes use windows and want the files. otherwise would be ext4 [06:33] <^Phantom^> It only supports 09 and prior distros [06:33] celthunder, ah, locate command didn't catch it in there. [06:33] <[oneUp]> izinucs, partly.. I did made that work with tn5250 small terminals. I saw screenshots of an app viewing all x terminals and I'm guessing you can view one and control maybe it's connect and power state. [06:33] amy_: find / [06:33] [oneUp]: and you're looking for that app? [06:34] hi, i upgraded to 11.04 but my system reboots when i boot up (after grub.. capslock starts blinking and automatically reboots ) :( any ideas? [06:34] <[oneUp]> izinucs, And I think I also saw some way you can set it up so that you can control each terminal installed app.. but what I want to have an idea on how much usable it is in a classroom and for a teach to maintain it and use it === Afteraffekt is now known as leftynoballs [06:34] ^Phantom^: Are you 64bit? Or 32bit? [06:35] When I play most flash videos I get white boxes overlayed on parts of it, what causes this? :( [06:35] [oneUp]: I saw a write up on that app once.. looked pretty easy for a teacher to use.. not sure about the setup. I'll look and see if I can find it. brb [06:35] @abc12.... what make 'puter [06:36] <[oneUp]> and also if someone taught with it coz.. I don't like how the schools are demanding powerful latest stuff and adobe gives away all it's apps that cost sooo much after that. [06:36] ML``` 64 bit linux ? tried the 64 bit flashplayer.so ? [06:36] gerald309, toshiba [06:36] laptop === leftynoballs is now known as leftynobrain [06:36] Bulldog: yes 64-bit. flashplayer.so? [06:37] [oneUp]: Is this it? http://sourceforge.net/projects/italc/ [06:37] <[oneUp]> izinucs: I want to promote ubuntu in linux. in classrooms with all the programs of recycling old computers.. maybe I can pull myself a nice contract setting that up and start promoting it in schools here in quebec if it works well for teacher [06:37] <[oneUp]> yeah it was italc =) [06:37] <[oneUp]> I guess I can look in its reviews and forum =) [06:37] <[oneUp]> awesome [06:37] <[oneUp]> thanks [06:38] [oneUp]: google.com/linux is the all seeing eye :) [06:38] MK``` go on adobe they have a 64 bit flash player download then u open terminal and locate "file name" you downnloaded to see where original is then replace it [06:38] celthunder, how can i configure my phpmyadmin to see the mysqli extension?

Synaptics [06:45] [oneUp]: I rode a motorcycle around lake s [06:45] superior a few years ago [06:45] well if you haven't watched bleach, I'd suggest you do that. I finished all the episodes so can't do anything :S [06:46] <[oneUp]> izinucs, they make linux more easily accessible in schools as using it and learning it here. I had a very nice opportunity 2 years ago. I spent one year setting up linux as a douzen of vm linux services on a vmware server for a huge copper industry that was just starting =) So much fun! [06:47] <[oneUp]> izinucs, haa.. I have to try that =)) I love doing nice roads on my honda shadow! [06:47] [oneUp]: sounds like it [06:47] I cannot get nautilus to open on classic desktop for 11.04.

I think they messed up the end so bad after 300 episodes.. for money I guess [06:49] pfifo watched it in normal and remastered versions as well :P [06:49] <[oneUp]> izinucs, is it in california those very huge trees in some forest? [06:49] well you need to stop at 310 oneUp since they aren't following the manga right now or so I heard [06:49] what is a good alternative for netstumbler? [06:49] atlef: Gtk-ERROR **: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported [06:49] atlef: in unity I can't even "super" and search for nautilus.. I have to use the top icon in the side bar.. really weird [06:50] ASrock, what does netstumbler do? most people wont know :/ [06:50] ASrock: kismet [06:50] <[oneUp]> Nicke__, doesn't matter, the manga are also messed up. I'm pissed at him. 300 episode with aizen being the bad guy behind it and the last battle with ichigo after all that story, lasted 15 fkn minutes. he's mean. [06:50] Hi everyone [06:50] pfifo: It scans wireless networks, tells you the signal strength channel stuff like that [06:50] pfifo its seaches the area for wifi and gives info ... its a windows app tho [06:51] hi people!!, i update from 10.10 to 11.04, have a netbook asus with unity. Now unity is gone and not see top menu, only access to some items with F10 [06:51] SaxonMatt, do you have gnome3 installed? [06:51] ASrock, airmon [06:51] pfifo: gui? [06:51] ASrock, its a ncurses based gui [06:51] Is there and html2pdf type program that supports CSS? Or anyway to create a PDF from a web page short of taking shots and pasting them together? [06:51] gotta go.... [06:51] ASrock: There is not a GUI tool. [06:51] ASrock wifi radar has a gui [06:52] Bulldog, i have wifi radar, it doesn't do everything i want [06:52] wifi radar doesn't do what kismet does [06:52] ASrock, airmon is terminal but it has more features than you can count [06:52] [oneUp]: yes.. http://gocalifornia.about.com/od/topcalifornia/a/redwood_forests.htm [06:52] 1 [06:52] pfifo, k ill check it out, thanks [06:53] atlef: I did when I had 10.10, but I think it was removed. [06:53] <[oneUp]> izinucs: if I go there one day we should get a beer and ride =) what do you do for work? [06:53] ASrock what is it you want to use "netstumbler alt" for ? [06:54] atlef: Synaptic shows it not installed [06:54] <[oneUp]> izinucs, the opposite lol =) [06:54] [oneUp]: real estate.. check out http://pashnit.com/ for calif rides [06:55] <[oneUp]> nice picture =) [06:55] anybody can helpme with unity in this netbook? [06:55] [oneUp]: good links to fantastic roads [06:56] Sapote dont ask if people will help just ask the question someone that can help will reply [06:56] SaxonMatt, hmm, might be some leftover gtk3 stuff. maybe try searching for that as well in synaptic and see if it helps to remove it. not sure though [06:57] is it safe to remove gtk3 stuff? [06:57] Bulldog, i like using it to find wireless networks when i'm out of town, when I use the basic utility to connect to networks it seems like It always disconnects 30 seconds later, if i use the network netstumbler says has the best connection it generally stays connected.... basically to save time [06:57] damn this got boring agian [06:57] atlef: is it safe to remove gtk3 stuff? [06:57] again* [06:57] SaxonMatt, not sure [06:57] SaxonMatt, wht gtk3 stuff? [06:58] SaxonMatt, but the problem is a conflict between gtk2.x and gtk3 [06:58] stuff like libdbus-gtk3 [06:58] SaxonMatt, did you install gnome3 or something? [06:59] pfifo: I did back in 10.10, but I have 11.04, but Nautilus won't open, and now nautilus won't open [06:59] ASrock oh ok i guess airmo could help but im nt entirely sure of all the features [06:59] airmon [06:59] 11.04 removed gnome3 [07:00] SaxonMatt, ahh, your in a spot... you need to install fresh 11.04 [07:00] <[oneUp]> izinucs: do you also sell rental buildings in your work? [07:00] hello [07:00] Saxon you on login screen and get an error of session wont load ? [07:00] -.- [07:00] pfifio, I'd want someone better than me to get involved personally. When I tried to upgrade, it was a huge mess [07:01] ASrock: it sounds like your wifi card doesn't like linux very much [07:01] [oneUp]: well yes and no.. 2-4 units yes.. more than that no [07:01] Bulldog: nope all's good. I load right up.... nautilus just won't open [07:01] I have a question about the internet connection on ubuntu lol [07:01] SaxonMatt, the upgrade replace the gtk3 stuff with gtk2 stuff, theres not much you can do to fix it. A fresh install is the best approach. [07:02] after usually between 5 and 15 minutes, it just.. stops. I have to restart the computer in order to get it back on. [07:02] sorry is truecrypt not in the repos? I see a GUI for it but not the actual package...? [07:02] later guys [07:02] <[oneUp]> izinucs: nice.. is it year leases rentals? [07:02] SaxonMatt you could try uninstall and then reinstall all the gtk3 stuff if not fresh install ubuntu [07:03] pfifo, when I tried to upgrade, it completely removed classic desktop, and did not completely install all the unity stuff [07:03] [oneUp]: no by sell I mean, someone buys the building.. then they rent it out [07:03] SaxonMatt: save yourself the hours of trouble and just install a fresh 11.04 [07:03] erm.. hello? lol [07:04] SaxonMatt sudo apt-get remove --purge unity gets rid of unity [07:04] quackaduck: I don't really know how to fresh install with a partitioned hard drive [07:04] SaxonMatt, because half of unity in gnome stuff that wont be replaced due t the PPA giving you those files with different versions [07:04] <[oneUp]> izinucs, yeah that's what I understood.. I was asking because I'm creating a php app to manage that if you are either lazy, a prospector or simply an investor [07:04] !ot | [oneUp] izinucs [07:04] [oneUp] izinucs: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:04] SaxonMatt, just boot the 11.04 livecd and install as usual, choosing to format the partition [07:05] <[oneUp]> ubottu: ok ok.. =) [07:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:05] <[oneUp]> yeah with a nice remote control =) [07:05] SaxonMatt get iso burn to disk (or usb) and then make a swap partition and install / to partition you want it will format and install [07:06] I'm going to try to get with my guy, see if he recommends that. [07:06] hello [07:06] (new to irc) am I even doing irc right? [07:06] if i apt-get uninstall ubuntu-desktop, what all gets removed? [07:06] my dock does not allow me to open any application again if it is already opened once. say if i want to open 2 separate terminal i can't do it [07:06] !ubuntu-desktop | shrimants [07:06] shrimants: k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [07:06] Snail_ I don't even know if I'm doing it right [07:07] shrimants, only that package, its just a metapackage [07:07] dang it [07:07] shrimants, you want puregnome? purekde or other [07:07] Snail_, your doing fine, just noone knows... try providing more details [07:07] !details | Snail_ [07:07] Snail_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [07:08] <[oneUp]> izinucs: anyways, I'm going for true blood lol. let me know if you want to exchange email and keep in touch. It was fun! [07:09] oh ok.. I will try to describe it. I turn on my computer and it works great, perfectly fine. Then, completely randomly, between 5 and 15 minutes after being on, the internet just stops. I am running windows 7 along with this Ubuntu 11.4 and windows keeps the internet at all times, so I don't understand why ubuntu doesn't. [07:09] Snail_, wireless or wired? [07:10] wireless [07:10] Snail_, what type of wireless card do you have? [07:10] I don't know...? [07:11] shrimants: apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop [07:11] how am I supposed to know what my wireless card is? [07:11] Snail_ have you tried turning the router off for 30 secs and then turning it back on (normally problems have a simple solution) [07:11] Snail_, run this command on a terminal, `lspci && lsusb` and then goto pastebin.com and paste the output there [07:12] Bulldog: he said that windows works w/o problems so it is not the router... [07:12] alright, give me a moment to do that [07:13] tmg yeah but sometimes my laptop has same issue and router restart makes it perfect again ;/ [07:13] Snail_: sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager [07:14] my girlfriend is about to start using linux and i figured ubuntu was a nice place to at least show off what linux COULD be, but i also dont want all the copious bloat to be perma-installed [07:14] Bulldog: well, I bet you use some crappy d-link then :D [07:14] tmg netgear [07:14] pfifo, here is the pastebin. http://pastebin.com/qXggK3LP [07:15] i guess i'll just have her start on ubuntu till she gets the hang of command line stuff, then i'll have her remove unity and try a WM with a custom "user experience" so to speak, and then finally i'll transition her to archlinux [07:15] Bulldog: oh, I though that only d-links are such bad for wireless (i unfortunately own one) [07:15] Snail_, you have a RTL8191SEvB... are you running 32 or 64 bit? [07:16] i just partitioned my microSD and it's marked as root / read only. how can i fix this? [07:16] tmg i think my problem is i have so much running on the wireless that sometimes it disconnects devices [07:16] <-- is on battery power on a dock (-_-) timely help greatly appreciated [07:17] Sterist, are you trying to install/have alredy installed ubuntu to your sd card? [07:17] trying to install. but the card has been marked read only [07:18] tried unmount / mount, reboot... nothing [07:18] Sterist, it the read only switch on the card, set for write protect? [07:18] mount -o remount,rw ? [07:19] can anyone help me fix the dock ? [07:19] switch is unlocked [07:19] I just installed all the updates on my ununtu guest virtual machine and it asked me to reboot...i reboot, and now a blank screen...anyone knows how to fix this? (Virtualbox Guest) Host: Win 7 [07:19] Sterist, can you write to the card? [07:20] pfifo no it's read only. [07:20] anybody would like to help me with my freezing problem with ubuntu 10.10? [07:20] pfifo worked fine before i formatted & partitioned [07:20] im kinda tiredasking this 3 times on forum and 2 times here [07:20] but i really need to fix it [07:20] tmg what does those commands look like in their full glory? [07:21] Sterist, can you pastebin the output of `mount` [07:21] Sterist: is it / ?, so mount -oremount,rw / [07:21] pfifo it mounts fine. is it necessary to do this?

[07:22] Sterist: does it show it is mounted rw ? [07:22] How to chg my name? [07:23] qwebirc83400: /nick yournick [07:23] pfifo i dont think so. i've been using the UI's mount functionality [07:23] tmg how do i check? === qwebirc83400 is now known as h4ckwss [07:23] Sterist, type mount in terminal and it will give you the mount options in use [07:23] Sterist: well when you see output from 'mount' command, it should tell you if it is mounted "ro" or "rw" [07:24] anyone? [07:24] tmg /dev/sdb2 on /media/Link2SD type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) [07:25] Sterist, the card is mounted at /media/Link2SD not / [07:25] :) [07:25] in have a intel dual core 1.6 GHz, 1 GB RAM [07:25] 160 GB arddisk [07:25] onboard graphics [07:26] pfifo correct. it's an attached device, not the onboard storage [07:26] anyone? [07:26] Sterist, so whats the real problem? you should be able to finish your install [07:26] i m unable to use ubuntu coz of that [07:26] pfifo i dont know lol just simply wont let me write anything to it [07:27] and this problem was not there in 9.04 [07:27] i tried removing all ubuntuone packages and the frequency of hanging is a bit reduced [07:27] Sterist, what happens if you run this `sudo touch /media/Link2SD/test` === kassius is now known as mercvrivs [07:27] Itqan: Do you have live CD or Usb? [07:27] but still not completely eliminated [07:27] Itqan, does this happen if you run a live-cd/usb? or you could try to run memtest [07:28] pfifo returns a blank line [07:28] no im not out of memory [07:28] i used memtest [07:28] Sterist, congrats, you successfully wrote to it [07:28] hi, i think i get a kernel panic after booting up (i just upgraded to 11.04).

[07:30] Itqan: Yes [07:30] Itqan, i meant running memtest at grub, just to check if your ram is ok [07:30] copy the image from my laptop to it so i can transfer to a PC with a burner [07:30] atlef, ow do i do that [07:30] ? [07:30] Sterist, you probbally need to run as root [07:31] im new to linux [07:31] i dont know much stuff [07:31] pfifo how do i do that :( lol [07:31] Sterist, if you using a gui to move files, try pressing alt+f and run 'gksudo nautilus' [07:31] Sterist, alt+f2 and write gksu nautilus [07:31] ALT+F2 [07:32] Itqan: No, I'm wrong October 23, 2010 is EOF for 9.04 [07:32] nooooooo!

[07:34] I can't download audio-streams from grooveshark.com. I'm using Firefox-addon FlashGot plus gwget. with youtube and last-fm it works. What can I do? [07:34] Itqan: But you can upgrade. [07:34] Itqan: Some repos will stay, but there is no support. [07:34] i already hae 10.10 now [07:34] abc12: I don't think you have a kernel panic. What is actually wrong? [07:34] Sterist: just type: sudo rm /media/Link2SD/test [07:34] Sterist, i recommend just dropping to terminal. it is usually easier to copy files as root that way... ohh and it worked before because fat32 dosent have any security so anyone can write [07:35] i want to fix 10.10 coz my nets too stupuid to download 11.04 [07:35] abc12: What is your problem? [07:35] or whatever is latest [07:35] usr13, i upgraded to 11.04 and my system hangs after choosing to boot linux. (and it reboots itself ) [07:35] abc12: So it just keeps rebooting? [07:36] yeah, i guess [07:36] hey why 8.0x are still there? [07:36] but i can choose the old kernel in grub, and that still works [07:36] when 9.04 dissapeared?

[07:37] im guessing a problem occurs during startup, but i dont know where to look in the logs [07:37] patches, and commercial support [07:37] abc12: What kernel is it that works?

[07:45] abc12: The easiest thing for you to do is to just keep using the 2.6.35-28 kernel. Sometime soon, there will be a kernel upgrade and the new kernel will more than likely run ok for you. [07:45] anyone know how to fix the dock? [07:45] so what was the solution for my problem, if anyone ever came accross it? [07:45] usr13, ok thanks. [07:45] tiger223: tell me if it didn't work [07:45] Ok, gotta run folks. It's been fun. ttyl [07:46] Snail_, try `sudo apt-get install wicd && sudo apt-get remove network-manager` [07:46] I tried that [07:46] pfifo what if i wanted to copy the contents of the dir containting the iso but not the dir itself [07:46] gtroy:ok [07:46] I tried that and also, it removed the internet thing, so I couldn't do anything with it. [07:46] unless there was a gui I was not aware of [07:47] Sterist, cp /path/to/dir/* /destination/dir/ [07:47] oh and btw, I'm on my windows right now.

Because that would suck. [07:48] I wish they sold official ubuntu laptop (so i could all hardware/ upgrades etc just worked..) [07:48] Snail_, i dont use wicd, someone else offerd that advice, Ive hear wicd works well for people [07:48] could be sure* [07:48] well I can't get it now, because I have no internet. [07:48] gtroy: by disable adblock do you mean disable "block pop-up windows" in preferences?

[07:56] §:D [07:57] tiger223: ok, to 'save' the .flv that's something else [07:57] gtroy: gwget was recommended on a ubuntu support site [07:57] gwget won't play the file if you do find the .flv file on grooveshark [07:57] hi [07:57] I'm trying to install xubuntu with a usb dongle, i've used PLoP to make the computer boot from usb as it does not have this functionality by default, but when i select "run xubuntu from usb" a ton of letters fill the screen and i'm being dropped at a busybox prompt [07:57] Is it possible to do a reinstall from the Internet? [07:57] mwahahaha, I figured out how to search applications (LOL I'm a noob) and I found the WICD gui and was able to connect to the internet :D [07:58] now the question is just to see if it stays up, which was the original problem. [07:58] !yay | matthew_ [07:58] matthew_: Glad you made it! :-) [07:58] gtroy: I dont wanna play it [07:58] oh btw, I am snail. [07:58] forgot to change name [07:58] yeah, you have to dig through the grooveshark website's coding to find the .flv [07:58] and I didn't say that [07:59] does anyone know what the problem might be? thanks [08:00] duder123, does it say something like "Unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem" [08:00] Problem: I have 10.04.1 2.6.32-31, but the gui has gone broke. I have tried to do the alternative boot to repair packages and mount X that way, but the issue persists. Any suggestions? [08:01] pfifi: it's possible, i'm not sure, i'm gonna try again now and see if it says that [08:01] gtroy: I see [08:01] meco, you probably need to set the video driver to vesa and reinstall the proprietary driver [08:01] it will take a while though, random text scrolls for 5 minutes before anything else happnes [08:01] tiger223: I've been through trying to do it, it's a real pain in the re@r [08:02] gtroy: That's the first time I've had that advice, great! However, I don't know anything about setting drivers. Do you know where I could look for a giude on doing that? Or if not, what search terms might get me to such a guide? [08:02] gtroy: how come it works with orbitdownloader (windows)? [08:02] windows is better at piracy?

[08:18] what is chainloading [08:18] join #ubuntu-release-party [08:18] duder123, its when one bootloader passes control to another bootloader [08:19] pfifo, I'm not sure but it's referenced in the ubuntu help pages: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Alternative%20methods [08:20] hello,i come up a problem: when i start my notebook( system ubuntu 9.10), a message come out: "could not update the /home/username/.ICEauthority" file". how to solve it? [08:20] duder123, the USB stick has syslinux's bootloader on it, you need to get PLoP to pass control to it. [08:20] oh [08:21] duder123, as an alternative, if you install xubuntu on the usb directly, you should be able to get PLoP to boot it [08:22] pfifo, would I then be able to install xubunto on the harddrive as well [08:22] Has anyone setup RAID5 using ubuntu?

[08:33] eegads [08:33] bambool: http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/ [08:33] LAcan, that sounds very, quite crazy. Considering you shouldn't need to do anything special to use TC and ubuntu easily. [08:33] without unionfs. [08:33] I wonder what is wrong [08:33] magn3ts, we;;. it gets more complicated [08:33] bambool- enter ubuntu in an amazon book search [08:34] magn3ts, cdrom + tmpfs + unionfs: writeable CD [08:34] arquebus, bambool, I'd recommend a "unix 101" or "intro to unix" course. [08:34] magn3ts, then i wanna share that encrypted volume, thru the cloud... [08:34] pfifo, yeah, I see that on the website. [08:34] LAcan, how big of a drive? [08:34] magn3ts, with my windows machine [08:34] You can't really do block incremental updates with encrypted drives. [08:35] unless you can do striping, but I think only Mac OS X does striping encryption. [08:35] magn3ts, well thats why unionfs... i wanna brake up 1.5gb into 64 parts, to minimize sync traffic [08:35] magn3ts: sure you can, you just may not like the results =) [08:35] so 64 24mb parts [08:35] LAcan, right, but when TC writes to the underlying FS... it will make modifications that occur in allllll of the 64 parts [08:35] or a lot of them at least. [08:36] magn3ts, well i wanna see how many [08:36] magn3ts, cuz i dont have too many files bigger than 24mbs id wanna share on there [08:36] LAcan: besides, nobody cares about your ascii pr0n collection [08:36] LAcan, thats right, for what your trying todo, simple per file gpg encryption would be enough [08:36] LAcan, I'd be interested to see how that turns out. [08:37] pfifo, ya i thought so to... they got gpg for windows? [08:37] does anyone know if there is currently a fix for the "black screen" issue for 11.04 after installing nvidia restricted drivers? I can get a ui back if I remove the driver, but the system it kindof useless w/ the default resolution, and drivers. [08:37] ct esper.net [08:37] LAcan, there should be, its GNU [08:37] cuz per file would solve the synching thing [08:37] google, and the forums don't hint at a fix [08:37] where are gconf values stored on the filesystem? I'd like to restore some values from an rsync backup... [08:37] LAcan: There is GPG for Windows, yes. [08:38] question about ubuntu one... on ubuntu it does incremental changes or... entire file at once? (i know thr windows lcient is impoverished right now) [08:38] Nobody doing RAID5 on ubuntu? [08:38] Oooh, a ecryptfs-style dropbox clone? The data is encrypted across devices but represented as small files. Could leverage S3 storage and the data is SAFE in all locations it exists.... [08:38] Jymmm, no one needs your ascii pron backed up that bad! [08:38] LAcan, rsync works on a per file basis [08:38] LAcan: Not mine, YOURS! Mine is on the cloud baby! [08:39] balleyne: read admin guide at library.gnome.org [08:39] jrib: thanks [08:39] Gpg? [08:39] magn3ts, pfifo Flannel what do you think the likelihood of success is for what im describing? [08:39] Anyone here heard of camlistore? [08:39] balleyne: the user settings are in ~/.gconf/, system-wide is /etc/gconf afaik but check documentation [08:40] LAcan, very slim, esp considering I'd recommend gpg for what you're doing [08:40] jrib: thanks very much [08:40] Guest30656: The open source license of PGP [08:40] LAcan, unionfs isnt going to work, only 1 mountpoint can be writteable, the other 63 are read only [08:40] magn3ts, i may eventually go that route... but imagine if it works.. then u could repeat this process amonugst multiple cloud services... get urself a nice 10GB encrypted volume... [08:41] pfifo, hrmmm thats poopy [08:41] Sounds like a job for ZFS [08:41] a Cloud Cloud to merge all your onlone storeage places. :) [08:41] Dr_Willis, yes exactly [08:41] Dr_Willis: Sure, at 9600 bps [08:41] Dr_Willis, but: client side encrypted === sony is now known as Guest34784 [08:41] Jymmm: i used to 'bbs' at 300 baud.. [08:41] LAcan, for what you're describing, especially on a large scale, it will definitely not work based on what I know. [08:42] LAcan, pretty sure Dr_Willis isn't serious. :P [08:42] Dr_Willis: Not with ANSI graphics you didn't =) [08:42] magn3ts, so its a no go on having r/w volumes at the same mount point? [08:42] well you can, but like I said, TC will spread out the changes across all the discs, even for a very small file. [08:43] TC takes the file, and rather than writing it to disc, scrambles the location of the bits of that file and then places in in the volume (as least from the perspective of some outside of the volume after it's been closed. [08:43] internet is annoying. :( [08:44] (can someone assert that I'm correct and that it doesn't somehow assemble the bytes that would be written to whatever FS and then encrypt those... no that doesn't make sense, you'd have to know where each file is to be able to decrypt them....) [08:44] snail_: YAY! Computers suck too! [08:44] why? [08:44] magn3ts, well... u know TC that well? because I can't imagine it will do stripping if not necessary.. maybe unionfs will do that.. but TC? [08:44] I'm pretty sure that's accurate LAcan. It's the *only* way it makes sense to me. [08:44] LAcan, you want it to do striping :) [08:44] anybody have a howto/tut on getting ubuntu to be cool with a cert that's self signed? [08:45] ckrailo: ubuntu, or your browser? [08:45] striping ensures that changes to a specific spot in an encrypted volume, affects the underlying storage in an equally localized place. [08:45] Jymmm: ubuntu [08:45] IE: for you it would limit the changes to the file you're syncing to a specific set of blocks. [08:45] magn3ts, no, i dont! preferably TC will just write these files to one of its volumes, only exceeding one volume when a file (or 2) is greater than 24Mb..? [08:45] ckrailo: what/where are you using a self signed cert other than a browser? [08:45] LAcan, no no no [08:45] Let me try to explain again. [08:46] LAcan: Just use this: #!/bin/perl -sp0777i Jymmm, ha.... ha. [08:46] ckrailo, just get a real cert from Honest Achmed's Used cars and Certificates ;) [08:46] LOL [08:46] LAcan: Hey, it's RSA, what more could you ever need? [08:46] that bug ticket was amazing btw pfifo :) [08:47] Jymmm;: more than just browsers. i've got an ubuntu server install that i need to play nice with a certain domain's ssl cert. [08:47] i'd ask in #ubuntu-server but it has like no activity at the moment [08:48] ckrailo: you mean like wget or curl? [08:48] I found a command in an old forums thread - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - will that still work on 10.04,1? [08:48] yes Jymmm [08:48] ckrailo: Well, that's CURL not ubuntu === iambryan is now known as iambryan-afk [08:49] maybe i'm confused on something then, i thought the progs go through the os to verify ssl certs [08:49] pfifo, will this unionfs-fuse in the repos let me attempt my project? [08:49] Hello [08:49] ckrailo: google is your friend... http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html [08:49] So we have 24 volumes (let's call these A's). Next we have unionfs tying them together as a volume that we place a TC-ext4 filesystem on called B. Say we mount our encrypted partition B, we decide to change a file on it from bytes 1-240. This affects partitiong B in a VERY limited range. It would be easily to block update this, BUT you're asking the host system to perform the sync on the ENCRYPTED data... meaning partition A. To the host [08:49] operating system, who is seeing the file as locked, those changes actually occured in ALL 24 of our A drives. [08:49] LAcan, ^^ === flaatra is now known as vintegro [08:50] Does anyone here know how to get a printer to work with Ubuntu 11.04, if it's attached to a Belkin N600 router? [08:50] * magn3ts is rather proud of that explanation. [08:50] LAcan: Just use ROT26 already, eeeeeeeesh [08:50] Jymmm: sorry, my google-fu wasn't being as productive as it usually is. ofc i tried it before i came here. [08:50] gah [08:50] this damn driver issue is killing me [08:50] ckrailo: it's all good =) [08:50] been about 4 hours now w/ no luck [08:50] LAcan, if Truecrypt performed striping, the changes to the unionfs drive would ALSO be constrained... thus only affecting the first A drive. [08:51] ckrailo: FWIW... http://www.google.com/search?q=curl+self+signed+certificates [08:51] LAcan, union-fuse is the newer verson of the older version ;) [08:51] I barely even see most messages on IRC cause my internet.. [08:51] I feel fairly safe in saying that striping reduces the strength of the encryption or introduces weakness. but not enough to claim it as fact. [08:51] How long until ext4 is FUSE? [08:51] Jymmm: yeah, my problem was searching for ubuntu instead of curl. [08:51] oh wait, I remember what the U stands for. [08:51] magn3ts, ok, im trying it anyways! [08:52] LAcan, >_< hahah [08:52] magn3ts: EWE? [08:52] good luck, really don't count on it working man. [08:52] magn3ts: stripping across drives or partitions? [08:52] LAcan, you could write a python script to listen to inotify and re-GPG the files in a small amount of time. [08:52] hello [08:53] hi [08:53] this is ubuntu server [08:53] magn3ts, well its gotta beat the 1.5 gig file im syncing to ubuntu one right now... thats not a feasible system.. if all else faisl ill just go gpg.. because even if this works on ubuntus end, then I gotta get windows to make a similar mount [08:53] Jymmm, MAC OS X will stripe an encrypted volume such that the changes to the contents of the host volume is similar to the encrypted volume. [08:53] Jymmm: ah, the bottom of the 3rd option (with the openssl command) is what i'm looking for. :) [08:53] gracias [08:53] apparently / is mounted as a read-only filesystem, how do i fix this? :o [08:54] magn3ts: Nice, that's like a "LOOK HERE" sign =) [08:54] k so total story of my internet on ubuntu 11.4: At first , worked perfect. Then Network manager didn't work, so I got Wicd, which worked perfect, but now my internet is super slow [08:54] I guess internet hates me XD [08:54] hi guys i got a small icon issue that ubuntu tweak isnt doing for me === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [08:54] ckrailo: cool [08:55] Jymmm, yeah, I'm still having a hard time figuring out how that works. I'd think at best each so-much-sized area would be encrypted and then mounted in a unionfs style. [08:55] lol [08:55] It's almost the inverse of what LAcan wants.... but with the desired effect! [08:55] magn3ts: (FWIW, ZFS now supports encryption =) [08:55] can anyone point me in the direction for help with login icons [08:56] Jymmm, does that help things? I know nothing about ZFS. [08:56] Evil_Eric: <--- THAT WAY ---> [08:56] lol [08:56] magn3ts: Not under ubuntu.... yet. [08:56] I figured out my browsers cause the internet lag. I keep it closed and it mostly works fine, but as soon as I open firefox or chromium, internet starts sucking [08:56] any idea on that? [08:57] nvm... both are closed and I'm still getting lag [08:57] so disreagard that [08:57] Jymmm, is ZFS behind or is ubuntu somehow limited in another way? [08:57] snail_: it couldbe flash crashing in the background taking up resources [08:58] magn3ts: ZFS is a Solaris thing, s l o w l y getting ported to xBSD and sorta kind in a fubar way to linux [08:58] LAcan, btw, what you want has already been invented. [08:58] how might I attempt to fix that? [08:58] LAcan, I'm a bit impaired but what you're looking for is ubuntu's already built in ecryptfs. [08:58] LAcan, the files are encrypted transparently like TC but they are encrypted one-file-at-a-time to the actual filesystem below it. [08:58] magn3ts, no, because I cant mount that on windows [08:59] Hello, is there some equavalent for debians contrib and non-free resiptories so i could know what repos may included non-free software? [08:59] Oh. [08:59] LAcan, well forget that. [08:59] lo [08:59] magn3ts: one nice thing about ZFS is it prevents corruption creep... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS [08:59] !zfs [08:59] For information concerning ZFS and Ubuntu, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS [08:59] heh [08:59] Dr_Willis: How might I fix that? [08:59] snail_: check top/ps and see if flash is still there. [09:00] I disable flash in mybrowsers via extensions normally [09:00] Dr_Willis: check what? === ninja is now known as xmaz [09:01] how can i download a whole dir from a ftp? [09:01] I have no idea what this is but it makes me feel uncomfortable: ZFS does away with partitioning, EVMS, LVM, MD, etc. The available disks (of any size) are used to the best of their ability. [09:01] xmaz, you CLI ftping? [09:01] Dr_Willis: have you tried it on ubuntu yet? [09:01] magn3ts: CLI ftping? [09:01] xmaz, use FileZilla. [09:01] xmaz: wget? [09:01] Jymmm: I have muich need to try ZFS [09:01] xmaz, it's a good FTP client. [09:02] ftp> wget www [09:02] ?Invalid command [09:02] magn3ts i am kinda doing this from a console... [09:02] xmaz: um, man wget [09:02] ok simple issue i have ubuntu 10.10 ive changed everything on it and now im trying to change the login screen icon and ubuntu tweak isnt working to change it can some one please help me out (noob) [09:02] Dr_Willis: you DO or you DONT have a need? [09:02] Dr_Willis: what is it you wanted me to do? What did you mean by top/ps or whatever you said? (sorry I'm such a noob xD) [09:02] Jymm: ftp> wget [09:02] ?Invalid command [09:02] xmaz, from console wget -r -l 1 ftp://site.com/directory [09:02] khm [09:02] ok [09:02] xmaz, heh, the answer would have been yes "are you command line ftp-ing" [09:02] ty [09:03] not from ftp [09:03] xmaz, but ftynse has been advice than I. [09:03] xmaz: just use filezilla and be done with it [09:03] snail_: run top, see if flash player is still running [09:03] how to change the scrollbar to previousdesign [09:03] Dr_Willis: ... top? [09:03] Jymmm: dont need it. not even tried btrfs eitehr. [09:03] raven_: theres options to do that. let me get a url [09:03] raven_, http://ubuntu4beginners.blogspot.com/2011/04/disable-overlay-scrollbars-in-ubuntu.html [09:03] Dr_Willis, booyaa [09:04] Dr_Willis: You're still not using that 300 baud modem are you? [09:04] does anyone know why xorg.conf is missing from 11.4? [09:04] !xorg.conf [09:04] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [09:04] I don't like that factoid. [09:04] CodeZombie, it's been on it's way out for a while now. [09:04] raven_: there yago.. above.. or theres more tweaks at -> http://www.webupd8.org/ [09:05] Dr_Willis, ok tnx [09:05] X has not needed an xorg.conf for.. like the last 3 releases.. if not longer. :) [09:05] magic_ninja, ok so far so good.... two volumes v1 v2 mounted with TC and then setup as one volume with union fs [09:05] magn3ts, [09:05] magn3ts, okay... so I;ve not used a gui in linux in some years, I decided to try 11.4 desktop, but after installing the nvidia driver, I reboot to a splash, then a black screen... From what I've read this is a common issue, but I can't seem to find a resolution. [09:05] CodeZombie: xorg.conf contains "sane defaults", and if these defaults dont need to be changed, you don't need xorg.conf [09:05] hence, why I was looking for xorg.conf [09:06] I'm running an Nvidia GeForce 320M w/ a 27" LCD ( 2560x1440) [09:06] CodeZombie: odd.. normally i have issues befor i install the drivers.. [09:06] Dr_Willis before the drivers, I get a gui just not unity [09:06] CodeZombie: You could try the nomodeset option. [09:06] Dr_Willis, it's set... [09:06] CodeZombie, ah I heard someone else (or maybe you) ask about that. I'm not sure, I haven't made the leap to natty on my host quite yet. [09:06] CodeZombie: normaly i install drivers, run the nvidia-settings tool. and it all works [09:06] code, how much is your lcd [09:07] CodeZombie: then after i get the drivers installed.. i DONT need the nomodeset option [09:07] Dr_Willis: Can me and you talk in just a 2 person chat? It would be easier for me.. lol. [09:07] CodeZombie, same here as Dr_Willis [09:07] though I don't even have to fiddle with nomodest === vintegro is now known as flaatra [09:07] I can't even get any output w/ removing splash, and quiet [09:07] bah [09:07] snail_: i really dont have much else to say. If the browser slowed the system down. and its still slow after thebrowser is closed its very likely due to flash crashing. may be easiest to just lotout/back in. and see if it speeds up. [09:08] CodeZombie: that is very weird.. tried the 'text' option? [09:08] um.... ok.. [09:08] Hi, has anyone EDID.bin for LCD with natove resolution 1680x1050_60? If you have this file please tell me pm. [09:08] Dr_Willis, nope... I'll give that a try [09:08] how do you install thunderbird from a extracted tar archive? [09:08] snail_: run the 'top' command in a terminal and see if theres somthing taking up cpu/memory [09:08] Al_nz1: is this a source archive? or a binary archive? [09:09] magn3ts, check this out: [09:09] -rw------- 1 poweruser poweruser 25165824 2011-05-08 04:06 v1 [09:09] -rw------- 1 poweruser poweruser 25165824 2011-05-08 03:23 v2 [09:09] see those timestamps? [09:09] Al_nz1, why not use the one in the repo's [09:09] Dr_Willis: got it I think. bash thunderbird.sh ? [09:09] how can I see how fast my internet is? [09:09] magn3ts, this might actually work [09:09] matthew_, speedtest.net [09:10] i think [09:10] I need to test it without opening my internet though [09:10] Al_nz1: no idea.. I dont know why you would be needing to run thunderbird from a tar archive. [09:10] any tools on ubuntu for it? [09:10] Al_nz1: thats ione way to run sh scripts. :) [09:10] magn3ts, i placed a file, 2.4 mbs into my unionfs mount and it only wrote to the first TV volume, not both!! [09:10] Dr_Willis: I am open to better ways [09:10] TC [09:11] i have a server, 1.6ghz amd turion, 2.5gb ram running ubuntu 10.10. I want to use it as a fileserver, and I want to allow users to download files via usenet. would it be able to handle 2-3 users, if I installed X and a minimnalist window manager? [09:11] jmze: yes, that is plenty. [09:12] LAcan, the first what volume? [09:12] SwedeMike, thanks, I was hoping so, wanted a second opinion [09:12] magn3ts, TC volume [09:12] (v1) [09:12] Are you creating the unionfs inside the mounted TC volumes? or are you placing the TC volume across the unionfs bound files. [09:12] !info thunderbird [09:12] thunderbird (source: thunderbird): mail/news client with RSS and integrated spam filter support. In component main, is optional.

[09:13] magn3ts, unionfs-fuse /media/truecrypt1=RW:/media/truecrypt2=RW /home/poweruser/vault/ [09:13] oh [09:13] yes [09:13] that will work fine [09:13] SwedeMike, haha nice, was it a public shell server? [09:13] TADOWN BITCHES! [09:13] err tadow [09:13] jmze: of course not. [09:13] LAcan, (family friendly :]) [09:13] jmze: just for people I knew. [09:14] SwedeMike, ah lol. i had a few shell accounts, my first introduction to linux in high school...fun times [09:14] magn3ts, sorry, im escfited :).... question... how good is TC in CLI? [09:14] relogged, still slow page load times and stuff [09:14] :( [09:14] excited, yeesh [09:14] LAcan, idk, last time I scripted TC, I was trying to bruteforce my way into a volume whose password I changed while drunk, and it still popped up a gui dialog box that required user input on wrong passwords. [09:14] pfifo, is there a quick command to break the unified mount point? [09:14] they taught you linux in high school? [09:14] lucky sob [09:15] magn3ts, ok im gonna investigate [09:15] Now LAcan's setting up his FBI raid tripwire [09:15] lollo64it, im not that paranoid [09:15] but im too cute for jail! [09:15] synaptic is telling me for every package i choose.... that it can NOT be authenticated....what have i farkled on my system to elicit this response?? 10.10 amd64 [09:16] hey [09:16] cryptodira: i think it has somthing to do with the server key getting confused. Ive seen it asked befor in here. and saw some site with a fix. but i dont have it bookmarked. [09:17] LAcan, I'm not sure if I want to know what data needs to be encrypted, setup with a quick lokc.... and SYNCed between computers. [09:17] it was about 45 seconds to open speedtest.net ._. [09:17] does any body know if the 11.04 update is going to be for the netbook edition? [09:17] magn3ts, mostly text files with stuff in them... or my government ID in high res... my signature as a gif and so on [09:17] Dr_Willis: would that be a key on my end.... or the server? [09:17] oh, and my giant collection of kiddie porn === flaatra is now known as vintegro [09:18] I was hoping more for like censored books and weapon making materials. [09:18] Is this a help channel? [09:18] does any body know if the 11.04 update is going to be for the netbook edition? [09:18] Or like secret al-queda docs. [09:18] paul3200, the netbook edition is no more. [09:19] :( why?? [09:19] paul3200, because the big draw was unity. [09:19] And now unity is standard. [09:19] meh, I think I will give up on ubuntu for a little bit. The internet is really bothering me. I might be on here sometime, idk. [09:19] I guess I'll see ya guys later [09:19] magn3ts, do you know how I unmount a unionfs-fuse point? [09:19] There is literally no use for the netbook edition paul3200 [09:19] Because desktop and netbook edition are now one. [09:19] LAcan, no but I'm sure the Internet and/or man does. [09:20] :( [09:20] cya everyone.. maybe cya in a few days, maybe not, idk. [09:20] Ubuntuians! [09:20] paul3200, I don't know why you're sad. As a user of the desktop and netbook editions previously, I am overjoyed about this. [09:20] givin up on ubuntu for a couple days though [09:20] so.. bye D: [09:20] I'm stuck on windows, when I load up the ubuntu installer my mouse is not there but I can still click on buttons like the cursor is invisible [09:20] :( [09:21] oh, paul left already. [09:21] Cypher100: that is definitely very strange [09:21] I have a ATI card, can that be a reason? [09:21] it's a Ati 5830 [09:22] question is could that really effect the cursor? [09:22] Yeah, bad video drivers can cause effects like that [09:22] happen on a old computer when upgrading GPU's on windows xp [09:22] cryptodira: You might want to search teh askubuntu.com site or the forums. (or both) Post the question on askubuntu.com if you dont see an answer. I cant find my bookmarks on the fix.. [09:23] not sure if ubuntu will do the same thing, but that's the only reason I can think of [09:23] Cypher100: ive seen driver issues cause that 'glitch' in the past. no idea on a fix. [09:23] does anyone know the package name of the previous nvidia driver release? [09:24] anyone hhere have hfsplus formatted drives? mine all seem to be getting corrupted w/ the hfsplus driver [09:24] ANyone else ever get the issue where the 'power button' at the top right stops wornking? No pull down menu, no anything at all. [09:24] i didn't believe it until my 3rd drive started to go bad [09:24] i start to get I/O errors [09:24] Ubuntu server 11.04 is caching like crazy then the other distros [09:25] Dr_Willis, I get lots of menus in 10.10/11.04 that I have to click on repeatedly before the actual menu part pops out [09:25] bye [09:25] Or click-slide-slideback [09:25] magn3ts: well it finally started working.. it seems.. flakey.. [09:25] 420mb of 512mb, without the cache its 26mb of 515mb [09:25] 512mb* [09:25] the current version of gnash in ubuntu repos doesn't work in youtube or is it just me? [09:25] mick_laptop: im not sure how a driver could be causine IO errros. that would be more hardware problem i would think. But i dont use HFS. [09:26] mick_laptop: it does seem that hard drives today are not as well made as they used to be. [09:26] if nvidia 173 and nouveau driver don't work properly with Unity, can I try 93 (or the older one) driver without problems? === vintegro is now known as flaatra [09:27] that is very true [09:27] mick_laptop, how long of a time span? [09:27] might be my controller then [09:27] magn3ts: what do you mean? [09:27] I've had two of mine crash including one that was a backup for a friends' who had just crashed all within 6 months time. [09:28] the second that i plug it in, it crashes and corrupts the drive [09:28] how to install the dictionary in natty? [09:28] ive had brand new ones.. be defective. :( [09:28] brb [09:28] mick_laptop, um, what "crashes" and what is corrupted? [09:28] Dr_Willis: it does mount it rw, so it could be writing bad data to the disk [09:29] I got in the desktop of ubuntu 11.04 mouse is still invisible, weird pixels on top of screen [09:29] Purple pixels on top [09:29] magn3ts: screen becomes unresponsive and the drive becomes corrupt (I needed to run spinrite on it to get it to mount - Disk Utility in OSX wasn't able to read the drive) [09:30] Are you mounting a partition or plugging in an external drive mick_laptop [09:30] external hdd that automounts [09:31] the fact that it's taking down your already running ubuntu is very very surprising. [09:31] definitely sounds buggy. [09:31] I never had that problem with my ext drive for what its worth [09:32] Can someone tell me how to restore gnome clock applet? [09:32] Ubuntu 11.04 is unusable now, I blame it on unity. [09:32] how to install the dictionary in natty?

But I remember to have tried it before without success [10:02] lucid [10:02] hey, i just upgraded to natty, i added opera to the unity launcher, but it won't start when i click it. the button flashes for a while, but nothing happens. opera starts ok from the terminal. i'm not even usre how i could get a visible error message. can you give me a hint? (: [10:02] jonathan___: you have to have the timing just right. :) [10:02] at least now it works === flaatra is now known as vintegro [10:03] jonathan___: thers some key vombo to do the same thing. [10:03] Dr_Willis: yes not easy [10:03] About Clock: clock 2.30.2 [10:03] super+SOMTHING+# [10:03] My clock here dosent have any menus i can even do an about from... :) [10:04] Ubuntu really is coming along nicely as an OS [10:04] but im on 11.04 :) [10:04] Dr_Willis: yes with the key shortcut it's even better [10:04] Jordan_U: Mind giving me an example of usage [10:04] #linuxmint.com [10:04] Dr_Willis: how is that possible? When I click on the clock applet on my panel I get a calender, a world map and a location edit button [10:05] jerriy: im on natty.. 11.04 you are on the older release. [10:05] jerriy: they ahve redone the panel/indicator stuff :) [10:05] Jordan_U: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory || Could not open /dev/dsp [10:05] clock nolonger has the weather feature in 11.04 [10:06] That's not gonna push me into letting go of my LTS release and go back to 6-month cycle (been there done that) [10:06] Dr_Willis, well... It doesn't have it. It's a different clock, so wouldn't be entirely accurate to say it no longer has? I do hope it'll get implemented though, because I really like that feature. === vintegro is now known as flaatra [10:07] is there anyone who dumped Unity and installed Gnome-shell? [10:07] jo-erlend: its not there.. the feature has been repoaced by the indicator-weather applet. [10:07] jerriy just type this in ur console and u will get ur weather back"sudo apt-get install indicator-weather" [10:07] THE_BIG_ONE: "padsp xmoto" (not that xmoto uses OSS).

[10:09] Along with some other Q3 based engine games [10:09] kepi, i am loving ubuntu natty ... but yeah for me it hangs on shutdown sometimes [10:10] Old 10.10, OpenSuSe, and other distros still using OSS/Pulse/etc work fine considering they still have the dsp device. That emulator doesn't appear to work [10:10] yassine that happends sometimes when u upgrade from an older ver use the supergrub disk to solve the problem while u reset ur grub [10:10] maybe after some updates it will be fixed, hope so [10:11] kepi, yeah i keep hoping for that magic update [10:11] yassine: it needs a hd0 type drive name , not sdX [10:11] kepi, jibadeeha: there have been some major changes in this release, so it's no very surprising that it's a little bit more buggy than the previous releases. It'll get there, and I think it's more important that 12.04LTS is stable and shiny from the get go. [10:11] i have to say it [10:11] i miss openoffice [10:12] jo-erlend: true that, if they keep this up 12.04 is gonna rock [10:12] yassine: weird.. mine is using /dev/sdXX also.. in grub.cfg. never saw that befor [10:12] jo-erlend, don't get me wrong I completely agree and that moaning .. this version is the first that works with all my hardware out of the box so really impressed so far [10:12] set root='(/dev/sdb,msdos1)' [10:13] Jordan_U: Any other suggestions / ideas related to that issue? [10:13] jibadeeha: for me except my wireless driver [10:13] when I set a command, chanserv undoes it. how can i fix this? [10:13] Dr_Willis: It's a somewhat ugly result of the current implementation for when you don't have a device.map, in most situations it should not be a problem as root will be properly set by the search command. [10:13] Jordan_U: ahh. makes sence. [10:14] Dr_Willis: yassine is getting this error because the search command is failing. Why it's failing though I don't know. [10:14] kepi, yes, I use 10.04 on my desktop and I'm really happy with it. That's a very good sign. I see no problem staying with 10.04 until 12.04. On my laptops I stay current though. :) [10:14] Jordan_U: i dont seem to have a device.map file any more :) [10:15] Dr_Willis: Which is good. Grub2 doesn't require one :) [10:15] Dr_Willis: Though it would be nice if grub-mkconfig didn't confuse people by using completely bogus device names in the grub.cfg.

You might want to check the ubuntu forums and the askubuntu.com site [10:50] can gnome 3 can be installed in ubuntu 10.04?? [10:50] alaing: its worth the effort to learn vi. [10:50] ok, cause I'm in with the wine guys now [10:50] !gnome3 | codingenesis [10:50] codingenesis: 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. [10:50] Thank you Dr. Willis [10:51] AndrewEMT: hal is being removed (or allready removed) from ubuntu. [10:51] I've installed the 11.04 on my eeePC 1001HA yesterday, and I've one problem with Firefox.

Got a SATTELITE L30-105 with wifi card "Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC". Network stops working randomly.. I find nothing on internet.. :( [10:53] With chromium it works [10:53] and porting ubuntu's software on windows is that a better idea ??? [10:53] antoinefr, Don't use WiFi. Problem sorted. [10:53] uabn93, I recommend an NVidia card... and the open source drivers are coming a long way so I'd say driver wise its what works best for u [10:53] <_asdf_> hey guys... a friend of mine has updated to the new 11.4 and nothing is working. You know any good side where i can read how to fix the problems? [10:53] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nwoFlVGVc4&feature=related [10:53] sevoxx: can you give me more informations please ?

[10:54] no [10:54] and porting ubuntu's software on windows is that a better idea ??? [10:54] will a 2.6.35 kernel always be supported for natty? [10:54] AndrewEMT: How do I know which card to get? and how much they are supported? [10:54] codingenesis: what are you really asking? [10:54] antoinefr, I had similar issues a while back. I'd tell you it's broadcast strength issues, but I don't know myself. My problem was that the Access Point wasn't sending waves at a strong enough range. [10:54] ryankask: For the next 18 months, yes [10:55] ThisisRuge: its provberly getting the ubuntu-restricted-extras codec packas [10:55] sevoxx: fully working on Win7 [10:55] BlouBlou: so the 2.6.35 package will receive updates? [10:55] uabn93: I've found from my experience that NVidia cards in general are supported best by Linux... so its really what you want in a card [10:55] oh i c, the entire thing [10:55] gotcha [10:55] antoinefr, does your WiFi card support 802.11 b and g? [10:55] BlouBlou: and will work with all other package updates? [10:55] ryankask: Something like that... [10:55] #android === mr_grey is now known as Mr_Grey [10:55] hello everybody.

[10:56] sevoxx: "AR2413 802.11bg" so.. "bg" yes? [10:56] uabn93: sticking with nvidia, but not the 'just came out yesterday' nvidia cards seems to workbest for me. get their cards that have been out for a few months. [10:56] ryankask: Kernel updates = Same version patched which does NOT replace your older one. [10:56] Open source I think is catching up a lil bit [10:56] Hmm right. [10:56] n [10:56] haaandslkfhaan [10:56] codingenesis: there are ports of many linux apps to windows. or you could run Linux in virtualbox on your windows OS [10:56] Set it to 'b' only. See if that works. [10:56] codingenesis: or you can install ubuntu to a flash drive and run it from there. [10:56] BlouBlou: okay thanks [10:56] 'b' is longer range [10:56] <_asdf_> hey guys... a friend of mine has updated to the new 11.4 and nothing is working.

It just times out?

[11:04] uabn93, I don't use ATi cards... they were buggy in my Windows days and are certainly that way for Linux... NVidia is the best but ya can try it [11:04] Guest89041: you recompiled X? why? [11:04] Dr_Willis: tried, I got into a sort of UI, but it didn't work wel... it didn't work at all [11:04] how to listen to internet radio sations in natty....dotn want to use banshee....is there any other lightweight app for that? [11:04] I can't speak too much on ATi cards... been years since I even bought one [11:04] <_asdf_> you gonna ban me if i start trolling here? [11:04] whats the difference between the ati linux driver on the website and the Fglrx driver ubuntu offers [11:04] alaing: correct [11:05] TopGear: for my nvidia cards. I have to use nomodeset. to get to the desktopp. then install the actual nvidia drivers. [11:05] Dr_Willis: because, i swtiched to nouveau, and it's long story [11:05] Guest89041: theres ppa's for updated versions of X and the drivers I think. [11:05] alaing: the scripts are scanning for phpmyadmin, PHPmyadmin and so on, the will use the common names of it [11:05] switched* [11:05] Dr_Willis: since I replaced my monitor, it does weird [11:05] I have ATI onboard... If i want to have nVidia card will there be any problem? [11:06] muneeb: disbale the onboard card is a good idea [11:06] And newer kernels may be phasing out AGP support uabn93, I not entirely sure why the AGP support would be bad... most things are indeed going PCI-E but I not sure kernel wise [11:06] Dr_Willis: First I had my 24". It broke, so it went for warranty. Replaced it with a 19". No probs. 24" back. I connect it and my ubuntu 11.04 resolution goes to 640*480 [11:06] iceroot so its kind of like a apaches mod-rewrite? [11:06] muneeb: but you can also mix different cards [11:06] Dr_Willis: and it can't set any higher [11:06] alaing: its a normal apachae alias as a vhost [11:06] TopGear: i dont get proper res, untill i get the actual nvidia drivers going. [11:07] alaing: but yes in some ways its the same [11:07] iceroot there's no option to disable in bios [11:07] How i can comment more than one line at the time in bash shell? [11:07] Dr_Willis: So what you say is use --nomodeset and work yourself through the install? [11:07] muneeb: i am running intel onboard and nvidia fine here without disabling one of them [11:08] iceroot just going to restart my web service and see if it works [11:08] tsaknorris: there is no such feature in bash like /* foo */ === Tuhin is now known as Tuhin-Away [11:08] alaing: reload instead of resart is ok [11:08] whats the difference between the ati linux driver on the website and the Fglrx driver ubuntu offers [11:08] TopGear: when i boot the live cd. i need to use 'nomodeset' install it.. then first boot. I also use nomodeset. then i install the ncvidia drivers. and reboot and run nvidia-settings to get X setup right. [11:09] <_asdf_> can someone respond plz... wanna test my new messenger settings [11:09] after i get the drivers ionstalled - i dont need the nomodeset option. [11:09] _asdf_: [11:09] Dr_Willis: okay, thank you for the information [11:09] <_asdf_> thx [11:09] Bulldog: the ati drivers from teh web site is the fglrx drivers. then thers the open sourced ati/radeon drivers [11:09] Dr_Willis: just edit the boot parameter and add --nomodeset? [11:10] iceroot, are you sure? [11:10] Bulldog: the default driver from ubuntu is the open-source-driver which dont have a good 3d support, the official ati driver is closed source and have good 3d acceleration [11:10] TopGear: No.. I use the grub menus and use 'nomodeset' option. - replace 'quiet splash' with 'nomodeset' [11:10] tsaknorris: ask #bash if you dont trust me [11:10] ok [11:10] its not --nomodeset :) its just 'quiet splash nomodeset' (or just nomodeset) since i disalbe the quiet splash also. [11:10] tsaknorris: but yes i am sure, just use a good editor where you can comment multiple lines with one command [11:11] ok hmmm :/ [11:11] TopGear: also rember the 'text' option. 'nomodeset text' that can be handy in trouble shooting [11:11] ok, well, I'll ctach you all later, thanks for the info that HAL is being depreciated... [11:11] Dr_Willis: i have sources, but why i get this, X won't recognize loaded module??? [11:11] Dr_Willis: just to be sure, where to add the text option? [11:12] iceroot excellant its working when I go to www.foo.com/phpmyadmin it says it does not exist. I think I might leave it like that [11:12] ok thanks [11:12] alaing: fine :) [11:12] TopGear: same as where youdo nomodset [11:12] only taken like 4 hours to sort [11:12] TopGear: 'quiet splash' ---> 'text' [11:12] Dr_Willis: okay [11:13] iceroot thanks again really appreciate yoru help.

[11:43] xskydevilx, you can always look through winehq's appdb [11:43] xskydevilx, that being said, i dont think office runs very well through wine AFAIK [11:43] but still office 2010 id not fully supported by wine [11:44] is* [11:44] jony, sorry about that, you could look at gnome-commander [11:44] well you could run xp in a virtual machine and install office in that too [11:44] xskydevilx: use openoffice/libreoffice. it is fully compatible with microsoft office 2010 [11:44] rigved, no love for google docs? :) [11:44] rigved is right !! it's better using libre office or open office ... [11:45] xskydevilx: they are great but you cannot be online always [11:45] xskydevilx, check the appdb, ask for assistance in #winehq [11:45] mgj: ^^ [11:45] !appdb | xskydevilx [11:45] xskydevilx: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [11:46] thanks for the help guys [11:48] rigved, its been a while since i used openoffice / libre , how do they handle .docx these days? [11:49] good/bad/still sets your pc on fire if you even think about .docx? [11:49] hello there, i need help please, i'm trying to compile the latest version of Evolution, because of a backup that i have, that only works on the last version...im using ubuntu 10.10, and i get some errors when compiling... : http://paste.ubuntu.com/604756/ [11:50] mgj: good. even microsoft office can open .odt [11:51] where can I see the opened windows list in 11.04? [11:51] Hi all. [11:51] rigved, nice :) [11:52] I'd have a probably very simple and stupid question. [11:52] Hi, I've recently upgraded to Natty, but I'm experiencing some regressions, for example I can't connect no more via bluetooth phone DUN. When I try to configure the device I get a "connection reset by peer" message. In addition I can't explore the phone fs via bluetooth. All those things worked without problems in Maverick. [11:52] I have the annoying AMD watermark, how can I remove it? Using Lucid Lynx [11:53] DefJunx, watermark.....? [11:53] Could it be related to the HAL removal? [11:53] mgj Yeah. on the desktop since i have a 3870x2 i see a little watermark saying my card isn't supported [11:53] problem is, all works [11:53] so I wanted to know how to remove that damn pic [11:54] it overlays all windows [11:54] what is the cmd to swich workspac? [11:54] DefJunx, see if this helps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8010958&postcount=4 [11:54] space?* [11:54] tab+? [11:54] anyone know the default partitioning for ubuntu netbook? [11:55] ubuntuuser_1 i guess it'd work, but i don't know where i could fin that file [11:56] DefJunx: sounds like some video driver setting, but ive never heard of it befor. [11:57] DefJunx: the watermark says what exactly? [11:57] DefJunx, im sorry i have no idea. Never heard of such a watermark [11:57] Dr_Willis, it says "AMD, Unsupported hardware" [11:57] DefJunx: whats your video chipset? [11:57] 3870x2 [11:58] thats a rather odd chipset name... [11:58] mang0 : ctrl+alt+arrow key [11:58] ah, thanks [11:58] :) [11:58] Dr_Willis, prolly I've misunderstood your request [11:58] DefJunx: its ATI? Nvidia? [11:58] Ati [11:59] i woukld guess its the drivers for that card. saying that 'this card is not supported by these drivers fully' [11:59] Exactly [11:59] I knew that already [11:59] my point is, do you know a way to remove it? [11:59] you are using the fgrx drivers ? [12:00] fglrx [12:00] I'm using ATI proprietary drivers, so i guess so [12:00] argh, i can't install the firefox java plugin D: I'm following the guide but there is no directory called jacob/.mozilla/firefox/plugins [12:00] :S [12:00] I would say the driver should have the option to remove it. It must require a driver to create such a watermark. Are there no better drivers available? [12:00] where can I see the opened windows list in 11.04? [12:00] DefJunx: and this is a very new video card? [12:01] like a taskbar or something? [12:01] jony at the bottom of the screen? [12:01] I don't wanna use all the time alt+tab [12:01] jony: you could install some dock if you wanted.. :) [12:01] Hello, is alsaconf enabled in Ubuntu? [12:01] those can show window lists. thats what im using now. Cairo-dock and unity [12:01] I'm using AWN. Docky took up like, 30% of my CPU lol [12:01] at the bottom of the screen there isn't anything [12:01] mang0: oh thats odd.. using Docky and Cairo Dock here. [12:02] :/ [12:02] jony: Install and run a dock.. and make it show a window list.. [12:02] !dock [12:02] Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. [12:02] I do have a 1.46 GHz cpu though lol [12:02] mgj, i've the latest available. Dr_Willis It's kind of. Anyway I'll check for something in the drivers windows [12:02] argh, i can't install the firefox java plugin D: I'm following the guide but there is no directory called jacob/.mozilla/firefox/plugins [12:02] DefJunx: latest from the repos? or from teh ati web site>? [12:02] is the USB installer fixed in 11.04? [12:02] Iszak: i never saw it broken... what do you mean. [12:02] from repos [12:03] DefJunx, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10445858&postcount=24 [12:03] Dr_Willis, thanks [12:03] DefJunx: perhaps try the ones fro the ati web site. but thats going into nomans land. :) [12:03] DefJunx, try the link that i gave you, that should work [12:03] Dr_Willis, it was definitely broken. [12:04] Iszak: what was broken... be a bit more clearn.. [12:04] I think the UI was [12:04] !java | mang0 [12:04] mang0: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [12:04] I can't remember, but it was unusable and I had to use Unetbootin [12:04] http://java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml#enable [12:04] I hate this left sidebar in 11.04, anybody with the same feelings? [12:04] theres other tools then unetbootin avail at the pendrivelinux site also. [12:04] is what I'm following [12:04] atlef thanks [12:05] jony: not really a issue for most of us. [12:05] :) [12:05] why? [12:05] if it's an issue remove it and install gnome. [12:05] jony: why would it be... [12:05] unity is crap if you've got > 1 monitor [12:05] jony: i did shrink it a bit and removed the drive icons [12:05] for ex: it doesn't wanna reopen the already running transmission remote GUI [12:05] my 2nd monitor died. [12:06] jony: i ntocied issues with some apps and using the 'system tray' icon. if you min to tray. you MUST use the tray icon to bring it back [12:06] Dr_Willis, awh :( sorry to hear that, I would lend you one of my three, but y'know. [12:06] saw that with transmission and qbittorrent today [12:06] !classic | jony use that if you do not like unity [12:06] jony use that if you do not like unity: 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. [12:06] what does it mean "unity"? just that left sidebar? [12:07] it's the desktop environment [12:07] some unity docs ----> http://theravingrick.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-effort-at-writing-help-for-unity.html [12:07] Unity is the name of the desktop. its also the name of the compiz plugin thats doing the work. :) [12:08] the sidebar is the launcher, the dash is the top left button/dialogs.. [12:08] thry really should of put a link to a 'introduction to unity video' ion the desktop [12:09] most blog sites have videos/guides/tutorials also. [12:09] it's not easier to use than gnome :(( [12:09] or am I wrong? [12:09] jony: you know gnome... thats the differance.. [12:10] unity is differnt. and a work in progress.. it will improve over time [12:10] needs a lot of work. [12:10] but gnome too will improve, right? [12:10] i hate unity too, switched to classic [12:10] jony: gnome is beciomming gnome-3 . so thats just as differnt as unity is... [12:10] jony, see gnome 3 [12:10] well not hat [12:10] e [12:11] was a BIG surprise tho lol [12:11] gnome2 is going to be going away some time i imagine.. [12:11] heya guys, quick question, I njust installed ubuntu on my netbook and the thing is now i dont know how to change icons, can someone help me out? [12:11] Classic wont even be in the next release. [12:11] we should just switch to plasma desktop [12:11] forgot to mention that it DOESN'T ressemble the one Im using on my desktop pc at all so I'm kindof lost here.. [12:11] skysong: what version is on the netbook? what on the desktop? [12:12] the same cd was used, its the latest one.. [12:12] DefJunx, did that worked? [12:12] skysong: the 11.04 release is the same on netbooks/desktops now. However. there is a classic gnome desktop you may be using on one. vs Unity on the other [12:13] yeah [12:13] skysong: youneed the proper 3d drivers to get unity working [12:13] thats the thing Dr_Willis, it detected everything properly.. [12:13] How do I remove unity btw? [12:13] skysong: are you using 'autologin' features? [12:13] but how do i know which one is being used on the netbook? [12:13] Iszak: short answer. you dont. :) [12:13] no am not using autologin Dr_Willis [12:13] skysong: look at unity screen shots -> http://theravingrick.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-effort-at-writing-help-for-unity.html [12:13] Dr_Willis, I want to though, I want to kill it. [12:14] Iszak: answer is to switch to the classic desktop at GDM login [12:14] I don't want a reminiscence of it on my system. [12:14] Dr_Willis, I want to remove the files too [12:14] Iszak: i would say use an older release then. [12:14] Dr_Willis am afraid its this one on the netbook.. [12:14] why can't I just remove it? [12:14] if I'm using classic/gnome there's no reason I'm dependant on it [12:14] Iszak: its too embedded into differnt things.. [12:14] but no they tied it into ubuntu-desktop, great. [12:15] classic gnome is using the same core underlaying libs. so removeing unity would proberly remvoe thiose.. breaking the classic desktopo [12:15] So don't remove the underlying libraries, just remove unity. [12:15] yet, i still dont know how to change the icon theme, cant even see the option :S [12:15] try to remvoe Plymouth. :) thats also so embedded... [12:15] Iszak: so go for it then.. fire up package manager and see. [12:15] * Dr_Willis expects heavy breakage [12:16] I know, but it's stupid they've made it REQUIRED. [12:16] I don't want it. [12:16] skysong: under the power button menu in unity. theres the system settings tool where you can sexct appearance/theme stuff [12:16] skysong: in normal gnome its under one of the top menus [12:17] yeah, but there are no options for the icon one am afraid.. [12:17] but it still possible to run the good old Gnome, right? 2.x ? [12:17] hope emerald works.. if it does i can shift it:/ [12:17] !classic | ubuntuuser_1 [12:17] ubuntuuser_1: 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. [12:18] after installing cairo dock... how can I remove that annoying left sidebar? [12:18] or use caito with gnome? [12:18] cairo [12:19] hi is puppy ubuntu in [12:19] base like mint? [12:19] jony: you can use the launchers & menu item in System Settings to set it to only show when you click the top left Ubuntu button [12:19] hello [12:19] yeah anyway of removing the sidebar? [12:19] is puppy linux the same as ubuntu like Linux mintg ? [12:20] jbicha, ty [12:21] but now it's always on [12:21] hello all [12:21] hello. can anybody help me with my sound properties? [12:21] amin_: puppy is radically differnt then most linux disrtos out,. [12:21] Maybe I'll install gnome 3 which will cause unity to break. [12:22] jony: i didnot remove mine. I tweaked it a little and madeit smaller. [12:22] skysong: emerald is basically a dead project. === QaDeS_ is now known as QaDeS [12:22] .. restart.. be back [12:22] now that I ran fusion-icon, the whole system went down [12:22] wtf [12:23] Dr_Willis: Hi buddy could you give my some direction because when i update it it goes to repository of lucid ubuntu [12:23] I just wish unity was not running on topof/needing compiz. that seems to be a big point of breakage. [12:23] amin_: updateing what? [12:23] oh yeah [12:23] my theme is completely wrecked now... :( [12:23] Dr_Willis: PUUPY LInux [12:23] everyone keeps enabling these compiz plugins that break unity or visa-versa [12:23] and i touched nothing:( [12:24] Dr_Willis, could I not install ubuntu alternative then install gnome 2/3 without unity (hooray) [12:24] !ot | amin_ [12:24] amin_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [12:24] amin_: puppylinux has its own channel. I dont use Puppy any more,. [12:24] amin_, this is ubuntu support only. find a puppy channel for that [12:24] Iszak: 11.04 comes with unity as its gnome... [12:24] I know but alternative doesn't. [12:24] maybe you could install gnome 3 in server edition [12:24] Iszak: the alternative cd - installs the normal desktop.. so yes it does. [12:24] its just not a live-cd [12:25] unity is like a curse we cannot completely get rid of. [12:25] 'people complaining about unity is like a curse.....' :) [12:25] Iszak, Dr_Willis: with the alternate CD you can choose to not install a GUI [12:25] Flannel: thats new in 11.04? it dident used to do that. [12:25] I savoir [12:25] Dr_Willis: No, it's always been that way. [12:25] s/I/A/ [12:26] Flannel: i dont recall ever seeing that option in the dozen times vie used the alt-cd. [12:26] but ive not used it in perhaps a year. [12:26] Dr_Willis: It used to be an option on the main screen ("Install a command line system"), then it got moved to an install option ... probably in 10.10 or maybe 10.04, so you had to hit f4 or f5 or whatever to select it. [12:27] is there any way to make Courier New font look "sharp and clear" like it does in windows? I need a decent monospaced font for programming [12:27] to the one who linked me the tihng to fix the watermark, I love you. [12:27] Antwon: there alterantive monospaced fonts out there, i recall some blog sites 'reviewing/comparing' them all last year. [12:28] i just use Droid for my needs. :) [12:28] Hello [12:29] anyone has experience with pptpd on 10.10 [12:29] In Natty, is it possible to make the windows wavy like in 10.10 or .04 [12:29] Dr_Willis: droid seems nice but I use bold and italic also in my syntax, for example bold droid looks very blurry [12:30] anyone has experience with pptpd on 10.10, im desperate :( [12:31] please kind sirs, i need some help [12:31] clarify the issue you are having Ttt2 . dont just ask 'does anyone know....' [12:32] also theres the askubuntu.com site and the forums. [12:32] been there [12:32] done that [12:32] hey guize. trying to get audio to work in vlc, nothing is happening, what do? :( [12:32] actually my issue is that pptpd works with intermintence [12:33] sometimes it just refuses to connect [12:33] you try 2 mins later it works [12:33] logs arent clear about the issue [12:33] just a vague "modem hangup" [12:33] any idea Dr_Willis ? [12:34] if i hibernated ubuntu while qemu was installing WinXP, will it resume when i boot up again? [12:34] is there a version of ubuntu for DVDs instead of CDs? I'm out of CDs [12:34] Ttt2: look for some versbose logging options perhaps. [12:34] Ttt2: I'm not particularly familiar with poptop, but have you ruled out hardware problems? [12:35] Chetic: no flash drives? ive heard mixxed success stories with burning a cd image to dvd disk. [12:35] Chetic, you can burn the cd image to dvd [12:35] Chetic: and there is a dvd version. [12:35] Chetic yes [12:35] hi, i have a boot problem after grub menu, anyone able to help? [12:35] quackaduck : yep, by changing the router by wich the GRE packets would pass through [12:35] same issues [12:35] Dr_Willis: burning to DVD does not work.. I've tried it way too many times and it gives the strangest problems [12:35] and beside that, windows server 2003 vpn works like a charm [12:36] Chetic it has a lot of the packages that ubuntu normally downloads in the set up so that part goes faster [12:36] Chetic: i always use flash drives these days. [12:36] ah that's nice too [12:36] if i hibernated ubuntu while qemu was installing WinXP, will it resume when i boot up again? [12:36] lot of ppl with same issues on da internet, but i couldnt find any resolution on forums and such [12:36] Sterist: i doubt if anyone can really tell you one way or another if it WILL work.. [12:36] Dr_Willis: used to be so troublesome to use a flash drive but I guess that's probably changed [12:37] Chetic: flash drives ar trivial these days. :) I even got grub2 set on one to boot iso files.. [12:37] I can have 5+ ubuntu isos on a single flashd rive [12:37] hi, I'm on a wireless network with people sharing stuff. IS there a nice program which can search all the shared folders for shared files (by type, e.g. videos) and then select and download them. I know DC, but I don't even know if there is a DC server on this network. [12:38] Ttt2: Sorry I can't help much, I've never bothered much with poptop [12:38] Dr_Willis: I'll try it when I run out of DVDs.. I have way too many and the flash drive is in the car stereo :p [12:38] quackaduck : do you know if poptopop has a irc channel or something... ? [12:38] Chetic: i got a whole keychaing/neklace of the things. :) [12:39] Chetic: i even keep spare 512mb ones around for grub-rescue setups [12:39] hah yeah, makes sense [12:39] Ttt2: No, I don't. I'll look into your problem though and try to help [12:39] quackaduck : uh ? very kind kind of you [12:40] In the past this IRC channel used to be MUCH more helpful. [12:40] Dr_Willis Chetic i have a drawer full of SD / microSD / pro duo's and 1 card reader (o_-) [12:41] wiehan: you could tell within 5 minutes? [12:41] wiehan: you come to that conclusion after being here for only 10 min? [12:42] oCean: No, I've come here the last couple of days with numerous questions, in the past (I'm talking about circa 2007-2008) - I would get answers quickly wiht so many people TRYING to help. [12:42] :) [12:42] it is sunday at 8am usa time.. [12:42] Dr_Willis: same answer goes to you [12:42] wiehan: theres the forums and askubuntu.com [12:42] wiehan : ppl here is helping for free, they dont owe you anything [12:43] been busy on askubuntu.com more then here lately. [12:43] Dr_Willis its sunday 8am EASTERN time (o_-) [12:43] Ttt2: I don't know if it will help, but have a look at this: http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-diagnosis.phtml#read_io_error [12:43] Ttt2: That is fine, and I appreciate it. It's just sad to see something which was absolutely the coolest and best way to get help degrade so much. I remember, a couple of years ago a guy (can't remember his nick) helped me for 2 hours to get a software RAID setup going..

[13:17] I just installed Ubuntu 11.04. If I use Unity, nothing happens when I click anywhere. If I change to classic view in login screen, I just get a blank screen... Can anyone help me? [13:17] just do "sudo passwd" and set a root password [13:17] !gksudo [13:17] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

[13:20] Relevant: not really, a USB key is very similar to a hard drive from the OS's point of view [13:20] Relevant: i can run totally from a usb flash drive.

[13:21] Relevant, no [13:21] Relevant: there's basically three ways to install on USB. you can just make a plain install, then it'll be the same as a hard drive (but you need to partition the USB key). or you can install something similar to a live CD, where you can't change anything persistently. or you can install live but with an additional persistence mode.

[13:23] Dr_Willis, ofcourse size is 2x time that RAM size [13:23] thanx for the pm but i am aware of that so do you think gnome3 is my issue [13:23] Relevant, use unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [13:23] I just installed Ubuntu 11.04.

[13:23] Dr_Willis, Now it takes the snapshot then just a blank screen [13:24] bastidrazor: well i think using a root account is something very common on a unix like operating system. if one decides to use their operating system in a way they want instead of how the distributor forces them to think, ubuntu is propably a very bad choice anyways, but i strongly disagree in forcing ppl to not tell someone how to set their root password.

On shutdown the splash is normal. It's not a showstopping issue by any means, but can anyone tell me how to make it look normal?\ [13:41] surmandal: no idea then. I do think Hibernate.

[14:46] bfri, just be careful when using sudo, everything that you prefix with sudo has the power to destroy your filesystem if you are careless. [14:47] hey, what i have to do to enable nouveau module, like nvidia comes in a nice package after uprgading kernel i make module install and that's it, how hard is that have to be with nouveau??? [14:47] i got a disc error :( [14:47] jnlsnl: Purple loading screen with a keyboard symbol at the bottom? Press enter when that happens. Any key might do it.

[14:48] Is there a shortcut in Nautilus to copy the target of a symlink rather then the symlink itself? [14:48] anyone able to help with boot problem? :) [14:48] this is weird, when i try to use the chat account thingy in 10.10 to log in to my facebook account it asks for my keyring and i enter the password for it but the prompt window just reappears, it doesnt say the password is incorrect [14:48] is nouveau only for hadrcore developers who have more brain than user's do? [14:49] BugA, what do you experience after trying to boot from GRUB? [14:49] just installed 11.04 with LVM off a usb disk. the installer put GRUB on my usb disk, not the sata disk I installed ubuntu to. so i booted into rescue mode and ran grub-install and grub-update. however, now the system just boots into the grub> prompt, and trying to list partitions shows the LVM partition as "not a known filesystem" [14:49] Phong_ http://tinyurl.com/3j6m5u5 [14:49] how do I get grub to recognise the LVM partition [14:49] splash screen for a sec, then just empt screen [14:49] I have troubles using the rename command. I found on a website that to rename all .bak files in a folder as .txt I had to enter the command "rename .bak .txt *.bak" but so far this only returns me "syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "."" [14:49] *empty screen [14:49] this is grub 1.99 btw [14:49] BugA, so no errors whatsoever? sounds like a graphics issue to me [14:49] LunaVorax_mini: because that's a different rename program. See « man rename » (it uses regex) [14:49] same using recovery, it finishes showing lines of text, then just blank sceren [14:50] jrib: I have added two commands, one to restict the maximum frequency of my processor, and one to open feh to show a slideshow. If there is a better way to do this than rc.local I am all ears. [14:50] maybe [14:50] Unity shitt [14:50] it was all working good [14:50] can the super key be freed from the dash, and replaced with something else? [14:50] I Used UNetbootin to get ubunto-10.04.2 and it dident copy across to my USB? [14:50] i tweaked with grub splash settings, and manages to brake it :P [14:50] morons came up with unity instead of reuse of awn, with nice c/python plugins [14:50] *managed [14:50] snii: seems strange to run feh as root [14:50] i extracted and copyed the files across [14:50] and now my stick is empty [14:50] :S [14:50] BugA, try starting with the kernel boot option --vga=771 [14:51] lets kick that guy, who came up with unity huh? [14:51] Guest23347: your not back on that again? [14:51] jrib, so far the man of it shows the same exemples as seen on the website [14:51] from grub? [14:51] sorry, i`m just new to this *blush* [14:51] Relevant, you need to point unetbootin to the iso file you have downloaded [14:51] LunaVorax_mini: are you using ubuntu? [14:51] where does it download it too? [14:51] jrib: Well, yes. and as of now it doesn't even run. What would be the best way to have it run automatically on login? [14:52] BugA, yes, just select the line you would normally select to start your OS and append --vga=771 to it [14:52] !startup | snii [14:52] snii: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

[14:53] *initrd [14:53] Relevant, never used that feature, so do not know where it puts the file [14:53] BugA, add it to the end of the line [14:54] yea, it put it in temp /facepalm [14:54] jrib, that's for stripping extension, I though it was a different process [14:54] i rebooted, its gone [14:54] LunaVorax_mini: so what example is the same?

[14:56] BugA, allright, it might load slower then you would expect, in a sense you are disabling all graphical accelleration [14:56] BugA, np, I've joined this channel to help :-) [14:56] brad_ the update is still relatively new. ubuntu's servers are serving many many peoples ;-) [14:56] what is this command supposed to do export EPSXE='/usr/local/games/epsxe' [14:56] brad_, the servers may just be slow; 11.04 is very recent and it is a Sunday. :-) [14:57] anyone know if ubuntu does a net image for installation? [14:57] bfri: it sets a value for the EPSXE variable [14:57] jrib, no [14:57] sidewinder1 oh you copy cat lol [14:57] Sterist, Sidewinder1, well it should be downloading the updates from the cd, right? [14:57] bfri, it sets the variable EPSXE to the value '/usr/local/games/epsxe' [14:57] hm, so now if I do "ls /" in grub it lists vmlinuz, but doing "linux /vmlinuz" comes back with "file not found" - any ideras [14:57] ideas* [14:57] jrib, dang you beat me to it ;-) [14:57] hm, i don`t know if something should happen, but it just stays blank (backlight is on, os it look grayish) [14:58] brad_, it took about an hr to install 11.04 with the alternate cd on my other linuxbox [14:58] hi [14:58] jrib stereocaulon: sorry but i dont understand that [14:58] i love ubuntu reall [14:58] brad_ ubuntu install discs point to servers [14:58] y [14:58] Sterist, ANd I can't even type..

[14:58] LunaVorax_mini: well to change .bak to .abc, you would do something like: rename -n 's/.bak$/.abc' *.bak (-n actually makes it only tell you what it would do instead of doing it, so remove it once you determine it will do what you actually want to do) [14:58] i love ubuntu really [14:58] :) [14:58] i can mount my system drive, but don`t know what to do next [14:58] !ot > weeeebhbb [14:58] Sterist, ah [14:58] weeeebhbb, please see my private message [14:59] LunaVorax_mini: if you don't want to bother with regex by the way, you can look into mrename or mmv (or just write your own for loop) [14:59] but i need help [14:59] how do I get a module back after doing rmmod?

[15:00] no [15:00] snii: not sure [15:00] brad_ the disc only contains essentials and presents you with the option to connect to the servers for goodies, more or less. the DVD install image contains more stuff but still wouldn't change much [15:00] yes [15:00] how [15:00] Vooloo: which was what exactly?

[15:10] Paddy_NI: i did, blacklist does not work [15:10] druciferre: no, sed actually doesn't support non-greedy (according to google) [15:10] hi all [15:10] Paddy_NI: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03) [15:11] Vooloo, you restarted to make sure it is not loading [15:11] druciferre: in your sed example, the easiest way would be to require a space before the ip in your regex [15:11] Vooloo, Also are you sure you are blacklisting the correct driver and that you are doing so correctly? [15:11] Paddy_NI: I tried everything, i want to load the 8168 module but its not [15:11] Paddy_NI: blacklist r8169 in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [15:11] jrib, thanks... this is one of those pesky things i spent some time trying to figure out why it didn't work like I expected... those kinds of things just annoy me until I figure it out...

[15:17] Paddy_NI: I mean I can load it, but cant get network card to use it... itsa m otherboard card, not wireless [15:17] wiggmpk: 1) it's the supported upgrade method 2) it will actually upgrade you to a new release ;) [15:18] jrib, no, it 'actually' doesnt.. does the same thing [15:18] wiggmpk: what did you execute?

For future reference, is it "wrong" to use rc.local for setting the cpu frequency? [15:21] Paddy_NI, So I still need to upgrade GRUB2 after installing BURG? [15:21] wiggmpk: and what was the result? What happened different than the instructions?

[15:26] linuxnewb, blank screen? error message? [15:26] the guys over at #winehq told me my fglrx installation was missing some 32 bit libs.

[15:28] hi: if i do apt-cache search oci8 2 things return. php-db and php5-adodb. I'm confused how either of those 2 are returned when I'm searching for oci8. Any insight? [15:28] it just shows syslinux 3.82 and some copyright information [15:28] wiggmpk: look at it from my perspective. If you click on the upgrade to 11.04 button and it performs all the checks and upgrades, then you should be on 11.04 now (but that's a very fast upgrade). So one of our assumptions is wrong. I need to figure out what that is. And I am not sitting behind you. If you prefer to avoid the gui as it's difficult to communicate exactly what one does in the gui, you can [15:28] use the command line to upgrade with the « sudo do-release-upgrade » command [15:28] jrib, lol ya think so? thats why im in IRC asking wth is going on [15:29] hey guys in the new unity sidebar is there a way to remove the workspace switcher? [15:29] why is it when i restart or when im shutting down my system, it doesnt continue, just the flash image of ubuntu [15:29] hmm maybe it's halting instead [15:29] Is there an ubuntu equivalent of the lib32-catalyst-utils package? [15:29] hello, im having trouble getting wake on IR remote working can someone help with that? the device is enable in /proc/acpi/wakeup but it wont wake on remote. wakes on keyboard connected to same usb bus though. [15:29] Is the ARM port of Ubuntu an official, fully-supported thing or an experimental thing?

( i can see them in terminal but i dont know the variable for conky) [15:30] Vooloo, Sorry man reading a few bug reports [15:30] i downloaded the usb installer from ubuntu website and i am unable to get the installer to work [15:30] wiggmpk: it never was by itself and that method isn't supported any more. Can you try the do-release-upgrade command? [15:30] linuxnewb: are you on Windows? [15:30] yes [15:30] I have solved my problem with Skype. If anybody else has problems with mic on Skype, just go here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SkypeTroubleshooting [15:30] jrib i will try it [15:31] linuxnewb: okay, well that's the extent of my ability to help [15:31] linuxnewb which usb installer? did you download an iso image of ubuntu? did you try unetbootin or universal usb installer? [15:31] thats what i installed i ran the installer and it made a bootable usb [15:31] Vooloo, Here you go someone seems to have patched the driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/141343/comments/21 [15:31] Ubuntu bug 141343 in linux (Ubuntu Hardy) "r8169 driver does not work with Realtek "PCI-E" 8111B integrated network controller" [Medium,Fix released] [15:32] sl4p1d0, thanks for contributing :-) [15:32] :) [15:32] Vooloo, that is if you want to compile from source... I do believe there is also a ppa [15:32] but when i boot from the usb it gets stuck on the line that says linux and has copyright info [15:32] linuxnewb which installer? and which iso of ubuntu are you trying to boot? where did you say it freezes again? did you enable boot from usb in bios? [15:32] hi every1 i am having synaptic problem [15:32] Paddy_NI: Ih ave 8168 installed and downloaded from realtek website [15:32] refer http://paste.ubuntu.com/604845/ [15:32] sahil: pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list.d/am-monkeyd-nautilus-elementary-ppa-natty.list [15:33] Paddy_NI: but it is buggy too? [15:33] yes it is booting to the usb and it says syslinux 3.82 copyright... and thats it [15:33] linuxnewb did you try it on a second pc? i know its dumb but i have had issues with certain pc's booting off usb whereas it worked fine on a 2nd pc [15:33] Vooloo, that is not the driver I am recommending [15:33] linuxnewb or try remaking the usb [15:33] jrib, still waiting for the gui to try and fail [15:34] wiggmpk: oh so it's still "doing stuff"? [15:34] jrib, not actually fail fail, just using the word "fail" [15:34] Paddy_NI: when I installed 8168 driver from realtek, did it replace the 8169 I am using now? what driver should be loaded? [15:34] Paddy_NI: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1436667.html [15:34] jrib, yes its "doing stuff" disabling software sources and all that jazz [15:34] Paddy_NI: read sandrogalli posts [15:34] Vooloo, Yes but that driver has not been patched [15:34] wiggmpk: ah, then that should eventually upgrade you (or try to anyway) [15:35] SO you dont need Anti Virus on ubuntu? whys that? [15:35] Vooloo, a regular user patched the driver and put it on LP [15:35] !virus | Relevant [15:35] Relevant: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [15:35] Paddy_NI: do I need to recompile kernel? [15:35] Relevant I believe its because 99% of viruses are desgined to run under windows [15:35] Vooloo, As I said do not use the official realtek driver [15:35] Vooloo, No [15:35] jrib, i do much prefer the command line.. usable feedback most of the time.. === joshua__ is now known as JoshuaL [15:36] mfpockets, a virus has a short shelf life on linux [15:36] anyone knows how to get CPU average (cpu1+2+3+4 / 4) temp and Motherboard temp with lm-sensors in CONKY?

For historical reference try searching for Code Red virus [15:37] what's with the keyring asking 3 times for a password after a cold boot? Why does it do that.. You'd think once would be enough. [15:37] anyone able to tell me if hdmi audio using an amd card will work out of the box or if i have to install catayst?

I would like an unbiased suggestion: My mother will get a sucky netbook with 4GB of hdd space and I know Windows XP or newer versions of windows will not work. She has used Ubuntu before but Ubuntu also is 5GB or something once installed. The limit is 4... I know Puppy Linux yea, but it's "always root" and my mom is a COMPLETE novice with computers, so I'd rather have her not rooted all the time :D I know Lubuntu and t [15:43] netbook4gbhdd: does this netbook run off a sd card? [15:43] It's going to be some Asus EEE series one I think. She's getting it for a few quids and I don't think she'd use it for anything else but browsing the web and perhaps email. [15:43] netbook4gbhdd although not ideal you could make a persistent 8gb usb and boot off that [15:43] I need help with wake on IR mce remote. Ive enabled the usb port in /proc/acpi/wakeup but it wont resume from suspend with remote but works with the keyboard (wireless usb keyboard on same usb bus) [15:44] netbook4gbhdd: look at Damn Small Linux (you can seriously cut down the install footprint) [15:44] izinucs: I'm not sure. The problem is that I haven't gotten any specs... I only know it has 4gigs of storage. I'm not the one buying it and I don't know the seller. She's a friend of my mom's :/ [15:44] netbook4gbhdd also I know this isnt the place to promote windows, but I have a version of xp that takes up 700mb full install [15:44] Would you suggest Xubuntu by any means? It's not as lite as Lubuntu, but it's more supported and isn't heavy either. Installs in about 2 gigs I heard. [15:44] That'd leave 2 gigs of space to save stuff. [15:44] mfpockets: if your referring to Tiny XP, that content is illegal [15:45] anyone know how to get by the message "insert the disk labeled" during alternate disk install? anyone? [15:45] wiggmpk xp performance edition sp3 [15:45] mfpockets never heard of it [15:45] btw [15:45] netbook4gbhdd, Xubuntu is quite elegant, suitable for day to day work, you can see it as a Gnome2-Lite edition [15:45] mfpockets: but its also probably illegal [15:45] wiggmpk I think its home made (stripped down) so it just may be "illegal" [15:46] hey all, i don't suppose anyone's got 3 screens across two nvidia gpus working under natty? [15:46] Is anyone else getting 1 freeze per day on 11.04? it's really frustrating! [15:46] I like Lubuntu over XFCE. :) but thats just me. [15:46] I can't believe it's still as poor as it was in hoary! [15:46] You must take into consideration that netbooks don't have cd-rom drives, so I'd use pendrive-linux usb installer to make an usb-boot :P I don't think any fork of WinXP would be able to usb-boot :D [15:46] netbook4gbhdd seriously look at DSL (Damn Small Linux) you can get as little as 5 MB install [15:46] ph8: not under natty.. i had 3 going once.. ages ago... [15:46] i had it under lucid [15:46] netbook4gbhdd: tinycore linux - 10mb with X. [15:46] same config doesn't work though [15:46] looks like a Xinerama bug [15:46] bbl [15:46] netbook4gbhdd: could be that 2 gigs is for personal storage and there's more for the system. After all why would they produce a netbook you couldn't put an OS on outside of a cli server install that would be pretty useless [15:47] netbook4gbhdd I installed via usb for xp before. forget how but it can be done if you want to do that route. [15:47] jrib: An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: [15:47] E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be [15:47] caused by held packages [15:47] crap === yofel_ is now known as yofel [15:47] wiggmpk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

But DSL has an alot smaller userbase and the main deal is just to fit under 4gb. It's not a problem whether it's 10 megs, 100 megs , 1 gig or 3 gigs... [15:47] I need help with wake on IR mce remote. Ive enabled the usb port in /proc/acpi/wakeup but it wont resume from suspend with remote but works with the keyboard (wireless usb keyboard on same usb bus) [15:47] netbook4gbhdd, Lubuntu leaves you with more system resources and works quite well, the only problem is that Lubuntu does not seem that active lately. (Lubuntu afficionados please correct me if this is wrong) [15:48] netbook4gbhdd: aye, I agree with you there.. [15:48] when i use sudo command, it says: "sudo: unable to resolve host thien" [15:48] => what is it? [15:48] Hello! I'm migrating from XP to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and running both systems on separate drives (dual-boot). I've gotten up the nerve to edit the fstab file to auto-mount the partitions on the Win drive.

[15:49] jrib, aye I was in the process of getting into pastebin, and i pasted into IRC instead =/ [15:49] wiggmpk: what's tinyxp? [15:49] kings1820 how do you want to login ? ssh? [15:49] thien, It's probably the name you gave your installation during the install. That's uesed as host name. === root is now known as Guest32224 [15:49] loma; illegal, so dont worry about [15:49] I mean more space to "personal stuff" can be achieved with a external USB harddrive and my mom has one. So it's not a problem. Just to fit an OS under 4GB is the thing I'll try to achieve. Preferably some popular distro with as less hassle as possible and that's pretty compatible and "fully-featured" [15:49] no i want anonymous ftp [15:49] kings1820 and it already works internally? [15:49] wiggmpk: is it safe? [15:49] Stereocaulon: i think it's an error [15:50] loma; its a stripped down version of XP, and no [15:50] Besides with Ubuntu and its derivates it's so easy to get codec support <3 restricted-extras, baby! ;) [15:50] loma: nothing like that should ever be considered "safe" [15:50] mfpockets yup but not from windows machine [15:50] loma: its not made by M$ so you should never intend illegal stripped version of Windows to operate like windows [15:50] kings1820 so inside the lan on windows it isnt working but from other *nix boxes it does? [15:50] wiggmpk: Yeah I agree [15:51] @mfpockets yes [15:51] Btw [15:51] kings1820 are you using your public ip given by the isp? [15:51] loma working in IT you run into all sorts of different OS's, but I dont condone using them unless your very skilled "just in case" ya know? [15:51] thien, sudo is mostly not used on it's own, try appending a command after it, just for fun , try echo 'hello world' ;-) [15:51] NAS, unable to use device so ahve removed the HDD and connect via SATA [15:51] loma: plus its illegal any way you slice it [15:52] wiggmpk: actually ubuntu is what I need right now. [15:52] I have ubuntu on one partition, Windows 7 on another... is it possible to run the Windows partition in a virtual machine within ubuntu? [15:52] My mom has used Ubuntu before and although she's a complete novice, she said Ubuntu was easier than Windows Vista or Windows 7 for her :D Said it was more like WinXP, which she's used to operate. So is Xubuntu pretty much the same deal as Ubuntu? [15:52] @mfpockets no i use the internal ip for connecting from inside [15:52] hi, i use open shot. when i move in the time bar back and forth, after some time i only get white frames. i have to restart the program then to see the images again. anyone knows something about it? didn't find anything on google [15:52] g105, no that's not possible, you can install *another* Windows install in a VM though, if you have enough licenses [15:53] kings1820 not sure what the issue is then, thought you were using the isp ip from your original question and just needed to open the port on your router... try with a non anonomous account. [15:53] Goodafternoon [15:53] wiggmpk: many people just steel the apps the thing I would like to. [15:53] @mfpockets i m in college and main ip is used by server to host their website [15:54] wiggmpk: many people just steel the apps the thing I would not like to. [15:54] Does anyone have bad experience with evolution addressbook? It seems that when I add a contact to book A, it also gets added to book B... [15:54] how do i add a kernel boot option, is there a file i can edit? [15:54] how to remove open office? [15:54] kings1820 but you have more than 1 pc and have succesfully connected to the ftp server on your ubuntu box from them? [15:54] dusf, do you want it to be permanent, or only for this session? [15:54] \server irc.recycled-irc.net [15:55] kings1820 can the 2 pcs ping each other? [15:55] damien: why? [15:55] @mfpockets if i want to make my machine connected to college network ftp server to be accessed from net [15:55] Hi all. I had power failure after the upgrade was completed. but the system was not restarted. Now I am in chroot of live cd. but can't do any think [15:55] \server irc-recycled.irc.net [15:55] @mfpockets yup the pcs can ping [15:55] tuckje: I have a love hate relationship with Evolution.. restart the evolution-data-server and see if that helps. .then check out Thunderbird / kontact / Zimbra for alternatives [15:55] Stereocaulon: until i change it, is it /boot/grub/grub.conf? i need to add "nomodeset or rdblacklist=nouveau" [15:55] first error is Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?) === AndChat is now known as Guest95946 [15:55] @mfpockets both pcs are connected to internet [15:56] evolution data server? Where does that write it files? Because deleting the apropiate .evolution files doesn't work:S [15:56] kings1820 sorry i dont follow. you want your ftp accessed from lan or from outside your lan? if the latter it wont be possible without the college forwarding a port to your pc [15:56] jrib in /var/log/dist-upgrade it looks like there are timestamped folders with 3 .logs do you want/need all 3? they are apt/main/term.log [15:56] tuckje: it doesn't write files.. it's like the db engine [15:56] Ubuntu is telling me that my file system is read-only but I know that it isn't read only. Any ideas on how to fix it? [15:56] what is gksudo? it is different from sudo? [15:56] anyone knows what i can do with a ubuntu virtual machine which refuses to boot after the last update? [15:57] does any one know how do I fix upgrade errors ? [15:57] thien: gksudo opens a graphical password prompt [15:57] izinucs, ok.. so how do I reboot that server? [15:57] @mfpockets i want it accessed from outside lan [15:57] can anyone help me with wake on IR remote from suspend? works from keyboard but not from remote. both on same usb bus [15:57] aj00200: ok [15:57] argh [15:57] what could be the reason it doesn't let me delete an adressbook?

[15:58] kings1820 unfortunatly that isnt possible since you are behind the colleges NAT server. they need to forward incoming requests for ftp to your machine. so unless you have a friend in their IT dept it aint gonna happen === bruno is now known as Guest12219 [15:58] but it tells me to stop the X server [15:58] if I do that [15:58] tuckje: open a terminal and type ... killall evolution-data-server [15:58] it logs me out [15:58] wtf [15:58] mang0: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[15:58] @mfpockets well thanks for help [15:58] !enter | mang0 [15:58] mang0: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:59] :| [15:59] kings1820 no worries. good luck. [15:59] izinucs, no such process:S [15:59] mang0: the nvidia drivers are available in the repositories.. no need to install direct from nvidia [15:59] c0mrade316: you would have to update so much stuff that you would practically be updating your entire system (even if you can get the dependancies to work out) [15:59] hey anyone mind telling me how large a boot volume should be on a netbook with a hd size of 243GB? [15:59] c0mrade316: I would advise against doing so. you could use backports. [15:59] tuckje: hang on. [15:59] !nvidia | mang0 [15:59] mang0: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [15:59] izinucs i've installed them from the repo. It didn't work. Long story, I need to install like this [16:00] Gnea: I saw heh. [16:00] *hangs* thanks for the help alreadyD: [16:00] i'm dividing the drive into a boot volume and a storage volume. perhaps add a /home too [16:00] dusf, edit the appriate file in /etc/init.d instead after you've made a backup [16:00] @mfpockets do you know how can i assign a website name to my pc with dhcp enabled from isp [16:00] Cause i need mozilla firefox 4 and python 3.2 interpreter & IDLE 3.2. which i don't find in 10.10 repositreis [16:00] tuckje: is Evo loaded right now? [16:00] Ubuntu is telling me that my hard drive is read-only. I can't make any files at all and it was fine earliear today. It broke after a system crash. Any ideas? [16:00] mang0: well, we're not going to help you install from nvidia.com, what's the output of lspci | grep VGA ? [16:00] izinucs, yes.. [16:00] c0mrade316: you can install those manually [16:00] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/604858/ [16:01] 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) [16:01] mang0: probably didn't work because you didn't install correctly which involves disabling some internal process in ubuntu [16:01] Gnea: ---------^ [16:01] How do i install IDLE 3.2 manually ???? [16:01] kings1820 You really cannot host servers on your pc from behind the colleges IP since they control the NAT for the public address you need your own internet line. [16:01] mang0: okay, that's a slightly older model FX card, so it will work, but it's not going to use the latest driver [16:01] Stereocaulon: which is the appropriate file? [16:01] c0mrade316: isn't the IDLE included with the Python 3.2 install? [16:01] hm... [16:01] dusf, try this resource instead: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html [16:01] mang0: what version of the nvidia driver did you try installing from the repo? [16:01] does that mean I can't use unity GUI Gnea ? [16:01] um [16:01] @mfpockets now i m talking about the connection that i have at home [16:02] I jus to know to install python 3.2 interpreter !! [16:02] mang0: it means you probably didn't install the correct driver [16:02] 173 i think [16:02] hold on [16:02] okay [16:02] kings1820 need to register a domain. Im not familiar with that, but i hear godaddy.com is a good site to get domain names [16:02] c0mrade316: you can download the files at the python.org website (you may need to download the source code and compile it yourself) [16:02] Gnea: 185. [16:02] kings1820 then you need to forward port 80 on your router to the webserver to accept incoming requests [16:03] mang0: oh, yeah, that's too new, it doesn't support the FX series [16:03] mang0: one sec... [16:03] k [16:03] tuckje: hit the Super key and type .. system monitor .. look in the list for Processes and see if you find it there.. might be named a little differrent.. [16:03] For the past month or so I have had a problem with YouTube. The videos load really slow for my 10MB internet connection. I've even reinstalled ubuntu to fix this problem, but nothing seems to work. [16:03] Do i get the source code for IDLE too ??? [16:03] hi everyone [16:03] @mfpockets suppose i own a domain but how am i gonna map domain name to new ip address given by isp through dhcp [16:03] i have a question...whats the difference between unity and gnome 3 [16:03] is there any way to change the keybindings in compiz expo? [16:03] i would really like to use hjkl istead of the arrows to change the target workspace [16:03] c0mrade316: the IDLE is just the command line python interpreter, correct? [16:04] izinucs, could it be e-addressbookfactory? [16:04] coco: a world of contraversy [16:04] Stereocaulon: ty [16:04] izinucs: it looks the same [16:04] mang0: yeah, I would remove the 185 drivers and install the 173 drivers. if you've installed anything from nvidia.com, remove those as well. [16:04] tuckje: perhaps.. are you married to evolution? [16:04] aj00200: it's the integrated development environment for python [16:04] i have a question about DOS attacks... if my site is under DOS attack does that affect my IMAP mail account? [16:04] Gnea: okay, let me do that then get back to you. [16:04] kings1820 you have a dynamic IP is what you are saying. I know you can use DYNdns.org. you sign up on their site and get a domain like kings.dyndns.org and on your pc or router you run a service that update dyndns everytime your ip changes. [16:04] izinucs, not yet, but I like the integration into the panel.. [16:04] mang0: cool [16:04] aj00200:It comes bundled in windows installation. [16:05] kings1820 with this setup you could access the web server at kings.dyndns.org [16:05] dusf, np, it *is* a bit of a read though, but unfortunately, grub2 is much more complex than grub1 [16:05] tuckje: you can integrate others there too. like thunderbird [16:05] @mfpockets well thanks again now i understand [16:05] c0mrade316: it is the same thing as the command line interpreter. If you are looking for an IDE, I recommend Dr.Python which is in the repositories [16:05] need help with wake from suspend with IR remote. it works from wireless usb keyboard on same bus as IR receiver but wont wake from remote. [16:06] kings1820 no worries. Hope it all works out. [16:06] c0mrade316: sorry, I have to go now. Hopefully someone else can help you if you need it. [16:06] es [16:06] izinucs, does that have a calendar function? [16:06] Gnea: okay, i've uninstalled and installed. [16:06] kings1820 dont forget you will still need to open port 80 [16:06] mang0: And... [16:06] hola, por qu'e si abro GPARTED me dice> sda1 used> 5.09 GB_ [16:06] ??

[16:24] .join #ubuntu-offtopic [16:24] izinucs, it's for a website. how would i store these images [16:24] BluesKaj: it's just stuck when the bootlogo appears and i left it overnight and was exactly the same [16:24] Helsinkiii: that's a totally different response.. you want to display them on a web site now.. not locally? [16:25] yeah [16:25] mang0: couldn't hurt at this point to try [16:25] izinucs, on a website [16:25] Hi Friends,now i installed a script from this site,this script changed my resolution,now it is ugly,how to get back my old resolution site address is : http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/how-to-fix-the-plymouth-boot-screen-when-using-proprietary-graphics-drivers/ [16:25] how can i pass the password on the same line as when i connect to a ssh [16:25] mang0: unless you're absolutely sure you're not getting any 3D [16:25] Urgent help needed in this issue [16:25] ejay, try the recovery kernel in the grub manu and choose "repair broken Packages " in the dialog, for starters [16:25] menu [16:26] ok, what else is there to try?

[16:27] Ph0n7r1c: try man ssh [16:27] Helsinkiii: ok.. many of the images managers available on ubuntu can catagorize, sort etc.. and then output to html .. once in that format you simply upload it to your server.. if you don't already have a site and don't know html, css etc.. then check out Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal etc as CMS packages to get a site up. Those programs will have plugins available to create "galleries" of pics. [16:28] BluesKaj: would disk space have anything to do with not booting?

[16:31] BluesKaj: so even if it's stuck at the bootlogo that says ubuntu and the dots underneath it, fixing the packages will work? [16:31] Ph0n7r1c, Odd, I have the man page in Lucid. [16:31] Gnea: okay, it is huge though! [16:31] mang0: if you install pastebinit, then: glxinfo | pastebinit [16:31] why cant i boot from disc: :/ [16:31] oooh [16:31] :) [16:31] how do i install pastebinit?

I've made a shell script to start gnome-panel and from there I can start compiz-fusion icon and reload compiz and everything from there is fine [16:37] So at the start neither panels are present (one at the top and one at the bottom). I execute the shell script to start gnome-panel and from there I can access the start menu. Then I open compiz-fusion-icon and reload compiz [16:37] shouldn’t it be doing that automatically?

[16:40] mang0: keep in mind, unity is a 2D GUI, not 3D === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [16:40] mang0: use 3D apps, watch youtube, etc [16:40] Again, 10.10 has proven to be the most beautiful operating system I've ever run... But I've run into a small problem. When I use my brightness keys, something GNOME-related freezes up and goes into a loop of them. The brightness continues to increase or decrease (whichever I pressed) until I press escape, but even then, the menus disappear. === m00se is now known as herpina === herpina is now known as m00se [16:40] why don't I have the unity interface gnea?

[16:42] plz tell me [16:42] sumit: What do you mean lock them? [16:42] mang0: well, when you get to the login screen, there's usually a selection somewhere at the bottom of the screen where you can change the session - that determines what your desktop will look like [16:42] important [16:42] any1 knows how to lock individual folders?

[16:45] Gnea: I have classic, user defined, recovery, ubuntu. those are my session options [16:45] 11.04 gnea [16:46] mang0: oh, I'm not sure... I would imagine classic would use unity, since 11.04 uses it by default, but I have yet to install 11.04 ... when I do, I will probably write a howto to rip unity out and put something more suitable in its place [16:46] mang0, "Ubuntu" uses Unity. "Classic Ubuntu" uses gnome panel.

I downloaded the install iso from the site and ran usb creator but the computer won't boot it just freezes [16:48] wiggmpk it seems to work. When I press a button the red light on the sensor lights up, but doesnt power back on the machine. [16:48] In the ubuntu universe archive, version 0.2.6 of nodejs is available. I have added a - maverick - ppa which has version 0.4.7, and want to install that instead.

[16:48] what's with all the Ign(ore) lines when I do an apt-get update? for example: Ign http://mirror.umoss.org natty-backports/restricted Translation-en [16:48] mang0, that probably means your VGA doesn't support Unity. [16:48] anyone here find that Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't shutdown properly?

[16:54] DJJeff: are you upgrading to Grub2 for luls or is there a desired effect here? [16:54] Does the new desktop of 11.04 have an integrated way to open a ssh connection in the file-browser? So that you can drag-n-drop files over ssh connection? [16:54] DJJeff: with windows? [16:54] Ubuntu 11 and Backtrack 5 [16:54] DJJeff: aah, you'll need another primary or logical partition to install bt5 to [16:54] yes [16:54] jarle: Hm? Opening a connection to a server has worked for ages [16:54] BT5 is not out yet [16:54] im trying to get Ubuntu 11 to boot [16:54] Hukka: how? [16:55] hi - how to suppress - the joins+leaves when using the webchat.freenode.net ??

[16:55] jarle: Top bar -> Places -> Connect to server [16:55] apt-get install grub2 ? [16:55] do grub-install [16:55] DJJeff: you can always install bt4 and upgrade from there if you like... but yes, making sure that the partition boundaries are set correctly will avoid many boot and runtime problems [16:55] can anyone give me any pointers on how to share files between two Ubuntu 11.04 machines? the built-in file sharing doesn't work in that i can see the remote machine, but the only share in "print$", despite having my Pictures folder set to be shared [16:55] Hukka: ok, using nautilus... I was just looking at "Network" in the main menu.. [16:56] I should just zero out the drive AGAIN......... and then wait for BT5 [16:56] on may 10th [16:56] FFS Grub1 was alot easier then Grub2 [16:56] jarle: That shows only advertised services, but ssh does not do that [16:56] jarle: You can see samba/cifs (windows shares) and stuff like that in network [16:56] DJJeff: try "sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy" [16:57] DJJeff: if I were you, I'd reinstall ubuntu, but make sure the partitions are setup correctly so there's spare room leftover to install BT5 on it and also partition boundaries aren't trying to collide with each other [16:57] im booted into U11 Live CD right now [16:57] When will lubuntu be part of the ubuntu family?

The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted." [17:01] roadfish: Do you have a mac? [17:01] no [17:01] Odd that it's using GPT then [17:01] You can also install gdisk [17:02] I am using a 5 year old PC and have installed a new 2TB hdd for installing a new Natty Ubuntu ... I am upgrading from Hardy. [17:02] Why is apt checking seemingly redudandant repositories? Translation-en, and Translation-en_US versions [17:02] roadfish: so you're going to fresh install and try to keep all your data? [17:03] what's the name of those icons that appears my status on social networks and a little letter that show some messages??? because i've deleted and i'd like to put it again on my bar [17:03] izinucs: Not exactly. After doing an fresh install, I will copy any data over by hand. [17:03] jayne: Indicator applet and Indicator applet session [17:03] roadfish: what are you going to do with the old drive?

[17:04] those are the names of the indicators in the top panel [17:04] IdleOne, but are they on add fo pannel? [17:04] izinucs: I may reformat or I may just use it as backup. The old harddrives will be disconnected during this installation proceedure. I want to have a clean install and a simple system. [17:04] jaypur: they should be yes [17:05] found it [17:05] IdleOne, thanks [17:05] jaypur: welcome [17:05] hello [17:05] about the error message from "fdisk". should I use GNU Parted instead? or is "fdisk" now considered a "previous generation" program. Should I be using this "gdisk" instead? [17:06] fdisk is not for partitioning [17:06] roadfish: what ever method you use to partition the new drive.. if you like to play with different programs, apache etc.. make / (root) 15-20 gigs .. swap 2-4 gigs and the rest or large part for /home [17:06] it is for finding partitions [17:06] nevermind [17:07] izinucs, roadfish: Though larger swap might be needed to hibernate [17:07] ruan: ? [17:07] Since hte upgrade to 11.04, my video is green until I unplug the cable and plug it back in, If i then turn the TV off and on again it's green again till I replug it again, (intel driver) and idea how to solve this? [17:08] roadfish: Hukka depends on how much ram and how many open programs you have. [17:08] roadfish: In a way, yes. Do you know the difference between GPT and the old system? I suppose GPT will become more or less the standard when most hard drives are large enough [17:08] ruan: yes, I am only using fdisk for finding partitions. But it is complaining about GPT (GUID Partition Table). So I am considering repartitioning the harddrive using GNU Parted. I just wanted to know if GPT is some kind of "new standard" Ubuntu is adopting ... maybe because of the upcoming shift to harddrives over 2T. [17:08] Hi there! I need some help over here... I've searched all the web but couldn't find an answer, you're my last resource... [17:08] any idea why some fonts dont render properly in document viewer [17:08] ? [17:08] izinucs: Sure, but most new computers have at least 4 gigs, so swap under 4 gigs brings trouble [17:09] I'm trying to install Ubuntu, but every time the CD starts, the computer restarts automatically [17:09] roadfish: Read wikipedia on GPT. It's not just ubuntu, it's the whole industry [17:09] I currently have Windows 7 x64 installed [17:09] Do you have any clue? [17:09] Hukka: he's got a 5 year old machine and a new hd === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [17:09] izinucs: Ah, sorry [17:10] ok, so GPT is recommended and I will use gdisk instead of fdisk when I want to examine the partition table. [17:10] RaphaelB: Starting from the basics, did you make sure the burn went fine and the cd's ok? [17:10] While I'm in here, anyone know how to repair superblocks? I've tried fsck, the other one (starts with an e), even tried formatting just to get it over with. Nothing works. [17:10] Yeah, I also tryied burning it on different machines [17:10] Now I have 6 or 7 cds with Ubuntu on it [17:10] roadfish: Well, older stuff doesn't understand gpt so it's not always better. But since you already have it, yeah, you need gdisk instead of fdisk === Guest61585 is now known as ssfdre38 [17:11] RaphaelB: I'm just guessing, but maybe there's some hardware that's not playing well with linux [17:11] RaphaelB, do you have you boot sequence in the BIOS set to read the cdrom first? [17:11] hello there [17:12] Yeah [17:12] I also ran Memtest on the machine [17:12] But the memory is fine [17:12] I have installed ubuntu 11 (64 bit) under vmware workstation 7.1 and unity does not work. Is this a known issue and if so, can it be fixed? Should I switch to 32 bit? [17:13] ampletime: you neeed harware accelereeation to use unity [17:13] xangua, I see so I gotta find the option to enable it in workstation [17:13] ampletime: vmware .. virtualbox.. I can't get it to run there either.. [17:13] I haven't tried running the cd on my Mac... Maybe I should try it too. [17:13] izinucs, oh ok so it wont run regardless of 32 or 64 bit versions [17:13] Just to make sure that the CD is working [17:14] RaphaelB, how old is the pc , if it's over 6yrs old then maybe the alternate install might work for you. [17:14] It's a year old [17:14] ampletime: don't think so.. 3d hardware support in vbox pretty much sucks.. not sure about vmware at this point.. I haven't used it in a couple of years. [17:14] High performance machine [17:14] izinucs, ok cool thanks :) [17:14] I use it for games [17:16] The curious about the restarting process [17:16] is that the PC freezes forever after the restarting [17:16] I mean [17:16] The CD starts [17:16] Hi all, someone help me in Mozilla Firefox ?

[18:07] vooze: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [18:07] serverhorror_: Ubuntu 10.10 Worked perfectly with the same configuration [18:07] walllable: go to compiz fusion icon, under it settings manager, in settings manager there should be effects, in effects animations click it, and go into it, then select what animations to give to which window [18:07] Seamless: is the ubuntu partition on raid0 too? [18:07] I just finished installing ubuntu 11.04 but its stuck at the "Loading Operating System..." [18:08] lets just do teamviewer needlez im sorry if i am frustrating you. [18:08] Phlogis, disable splash and see exactly where u are stuck at [18:08] i'm trying to build pecl solr. http://pecl.php.net/package/solr When I run debuild on it I get a dependency error. It says dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.). I checked the dependencies using dpkg-checkbuilddeps and it says php4-dev and php5dev are dependencies. Think I can safely ignore those deps? [18:08] serverhorror_: Yes. I tried upgrading 10.10 to 11.04 : Same error. Clean install over 10.10 : Same error. Clean install alongside Windows 7 after having deleted Ubuntu 10.10 : Same error [18:08] Ok, that's in the BIOS right? [18:08] walllable: not frusterated, and i dont have teamviewer [18:09] http://nopaste.php-q.net/15924 gives me this error in syslog: "Error: bad username; while reading /etc/crontab" - does anyone see any mistakes? [18:09] qjqqyy: i found it was enough with /dev/sda5, and defaults.. i have now mounted it to /mnt/data.. going for reboot to see if the drive comes up after reboot [18:09] Seamless: ok, anything else than raid1+grub is new to me :) -- sorry [18:09] brb [18:09] vooze: nice [18:09] is it possible to install .deb files from shell ? [18:09] ok u dont have to do teamviewer sorry [18:09] http://imgur.com/iG8Ni [18:09] DJJeff: dpki -i the.deb.file [18:09] walllable: when you installed compiz thru synpatic did you check compiz-fusion icon? and compiz settings manager?? you need both of those to get where im talking about [18:09] :) [18:09] serverhorror_: When I've made the RAID, I made it as a RAID0 [18:10] hi, i'm not able to view user list on XCHAT [18:10] serverhorror_: I can't understand why Ubuntu 10.10 works PERFECTLY and not Ubuntu 11.04... [18:10] what do i set for window match? [18:10] appi_uppi: #xchat [18:10] DJJeff: be aware than an apt-get install -f after such an action may help, dpkg doesn't handle dependencies for you [18:11] walllable: did you click animations?? and did it bring you to a page with a lamp on it? [18:11] Unpacking webmin (from webmin_1.550_all.deb) ... [18:11] yes [18:11] :) [18:11] so with painobar guys, does anyone know how to set up auto login? I messed with the labio.conf file, however, the information I put in there doesn't cause me to auto log in === mang0 is now known as mang0|NOMMIN [18:11] Seamless, Ubuntu upgrades have never been Seamess for me [18:11] DJJeff: you can just do this sudo dpkg -i nameoffile [18:11] Seamless, Ubuntu upgrades have never been Seamless for me* [18:11] qjqqyy: back... its mounted allright, but the drive is in "my computer" :( [18:11] hey everyone I installed 11.04 clean after having 10.10 ( upgraded to 11.04 ) installed on a 500GB hard drive now it boots my system up to the point it says verifying DMI Pool and then a blinking line and will not continue, do I need to wipe the MBR or something? [18:12] qjqqyy: The nick has nothing to do with Ubuntu's updates [18:12] Seamless: can't help you there. I can't understand why/how and since when grub does other stuff than raid1 especially if that is a fakeraid where the disks are exposed. I usually have either real raid where I can't even get to the disks or do raid1 (to be honest I'm afraid of raid0) [18:12] ok, good, click open effect and select what you want in there, dont make a new one... use the ones provided, just click them and edit the open effect , change it to magic lamp === wtf is now known as Guest8317 [18:12] walllable: you can also do same for close animation [18:12] dang it i made a new one sorry [18:12] i switched to kubuntu [18:12] much better [18:12] Froq https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoLogin [18:12] serverhorror_ : I know almost nothing about RAIDs, is it possible for me to make a real RAID ? [18:12] cannavist: it's different [18:12] any ideas anyone? [18:12] Seamless, i never meant to make a pun of your nick [18:13] walllable: you dont need to change anything but the effect settings. all other settings, duration and window match can be left unchanged [18:13] Some areas of monitor are not responsive to clicks nor to mousewheel, I am using unity. This is pretty irritating, how can I solve that other than switching to kde or gnome classic (both of wich I don't like)? [18:13] Seamless: sure if you are willing to spend the money (usuall that starts at a few hundred bucks) [18:13] ok [18:13] qjqqyy > Oh, I thought you did, sorry. [18:13] hey everyone I installed 11.04 clean after having 10.10 ( upgraded to 11.04 ) installed on a 500GB hard drive now it boots my system up to the point it says verifying DMI Pool and then a blinking line and will not continue, do I need to wipe the MBR or something? [18:13] Seamless, nvm [18:13] Seamless: as for raid0: 0 is for the amount of data you can restore if any single one of the involved disks fail [18:13] What's the best way to install the latest version of Tor? [18:13] but the duration is 50. and when i minimize i dont see the effect [18:13] seriously ? [18:13] How can I reduce the size of Unity 2D menu icons? [18:13] i was tired of the unity intel video bug === vooze_ is now known as vooze [18:14] serverhorror_: Hm... Well, I guess I'll have either to stay on Ubuntu 10.10, find what's wrong with Ubuntu 11.04, or clean up my computer and use one of my 512GB hard drives for Windows 7 and the other one for Ubuntu... But my Windows stuff needs at leat 750GB =/ [18:14] wallable: then make duration longer, if you want to see it, like 50 is 5 seconds or something like that i think. try changing it to 300 and see how that is [18:15] so, im using ubuntu for my desktop. i have an issue with the task switcher. when i press alt-tab, it takes too long for the task switcher to appear. sometimes up to a second?! whats up with that?! [18:15] Seamless: would be an option. Personally I don't quite get why I always need the latest version. I think back at home there's still some box running 9.something :) [18:15] Hey, I have installed ubuntu on HP Pavilion DV6 which has the mouse touch pad is completely as a mouse moving, like no buttons but there is a lines that represents where I can either left click something or right click it, so after ubuntu installation, I cannot right click anything in ubuntu, but in windows I can! Any help??? [18:15] needlez: i still dont see it [18:16] atd go into system [18:16] Seamless: what is the actual error you are seeing? (I don't have it in my backlog) [18:16] than prefrences, than Mouse [18:17] keyzs: so I was making reference to pianobar, not straight ubuntu. [18:17] walllable: did you change it for only one of those?? or all three, and is it open effect or close effect?? [18:17] serverhorror_: The actual error is "Executing grub-install/dev/sda failed This is a fatal error" [18:17] only one [18:17] wallable: then what? [18:17] >80 [18:17] walllable: change all 3 and then open up a program like firefox and see if you see your effect then [18:17] I tried to install the bootloader on the RAID itself like I did with Ubuntu 10.10, but Ubuntu 11.04 ALWAYS tries to install it on /dev/sda, what ever I tell it to do. [18:17] if not, try longer duration then 300 or different effect [18:18] serverhorror_: I tried to install the bootloader on the RAID itself like I did with Ubuntu 10.10, but Ubuntu 11.04 ALWAYS tries to install it on /dev/sda, what ever I tell it to do. [18:18] i only want to do minimize. [18:18] Seamless: I think that is what 10.10 did too. may be a new bug in grub. behind the scenes IIRC grub just installs to each disk involved in a raid even if you give it the raid device [18:19] So I think I just broke something. [18:19] walllable: it treats my right mouse button same as left mouse button [18:19] I just managed to mount my data drive (ext3, /dev/sda5) to /mnt/data but its not showing up in "computer" any ideas?? [18:19] luketheduke, what happened? [18:19] Froq http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1533357 [18:19] now thers no effects at all [18:19] and there nothing much to help me in mouse in preferences [18:19] hmmmmm maybe needlez can solve it for u [18:19] as evidenced by the fact that I only get a default-skinned login screen but when I try to log in it keeps me there [18:20] walllable: are you talking to me? [18:20] something must have went wrong when I did "dpkg -i *.deb" on the libre office debs... [18:20] luketheduke, so you were trying to install libre office, something broke, and now when you boot up ubuntu you only get a default-skinned login screen, which later hangs? [18:20] ya [18:20] okayz [18:20] I don't know needlez? [18:20] is he here? [18:20] serverhorror_: If I let the bootloader install itself on /dev/sda with Ubuntu 10.10 my computer doesn't boot on anything, but if I tell it to go on isw_something, it boots GRUB [18:20] any idea what deb's those were? can you pastebin a list? [18:20] yes [18:21] cheater93: doesn't hang, I just always get thrown back into it [18:21] atdprhs: yea [18:21] hey needlez [18:21] so it can't start the desktop session, apparently [18:21] atdprhs: ok what is the problem exactly, i just caught my nick being said was away for a sec [18:21] what if you switch to an TTY using e.g. ctrl-alt-f1? [18:21] can you log in that way? [18:21] my mouse touchpad doesn't have any buttons like left or right as it looks, because you can actually move the mouse pointer from anywhere over the touch pad === LAcan_ is now known as LAcan [18:22] but there is two lines that are like vertical and horizontal in the middle where they define where the left and the right buttons are [18:22] 2.6.35 by the way [18:22] it works perfect in windows [18:22] cheater93: yes, I'm on a tty right now [18:22] but in ubuntu, it deals with both buttons are they are one [18:22] both are left clicks [18:22] luketheduke, when you log in ubuntu starts a new X, it's probably crashing [18:22] try reinstalling X or something? [18:22] cheater93: yeah, something like that [18:22] look at logs [18:23] dmesg.. [18:23] etc [18:23] do you want a picture of my touch pad? [18:23] what kind of logs? [18:23] atdprhs: what kind of mousepad? clickpad, touchpad?? === launch_ is now known as r3m [18:23] http://img1.lesnumeriques.com/produits/23/9540/HP_Pavilion_dv7-4055sf_Touchpad.jpg [18:23] X has a session log i believe === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [18:23] that is a picture of it, my laptop's mousepad is almost like that [18:23] it's actually the same as that pad [18:23] clickpad [18:24] serverhorror_: Is there a possibility to upgrade from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 11.04 WITHOUT touching GRUB ? [18:24] yup [18:24] my laptop is DV6 [18:24] Seamless: You're probably using FakeRAID. [18:24] luketheduke, try going to a tty and doing startx, see what happens === Haxbeertje is now known as Gerwin [18:24] Jordan_U: Yup, but it worked perfectly with Ubuntu 10.10, why does it fail with Ubuntu 11.04 ? [18:24] brb [18:24] Seamless: you could pin the package, but I don't know it offhand. just google for apt-pinning [18:24] so any ideas needlez? [18:25] afk [18:25] hey [18:25] atdprhs: give me a few min im gonna look and see [18:25] if i upgrade to 11.04 will i lose any data [18:25] Seamless: Just make sure that grub is configurd to install to the array and it will work fine. That setting is not changed when you upgrade Ubuntu, and is possible to set manually during install. [18:25] okayz [18:25] hi: i need to install php4-dev and php5-dev to solve dependencies. I'm using 10.04LTS and I can't seem to find php4-dev. Any suggestions? [18:25] Je sais que vous parlez anglais... mais putain.... irssi avec screen, le theme madcow et le script nicklist.pl sa torche... manque a configurer bitlbee heuiheiha [18:25] i'm here, and thank you needlez and thanks also to walllable, he's the one directed me to you [18:25] cheater93: hm, for some odd reason I'm actually getting to the desktop now from the login screen [18:25] joemofkndot, you should not lose any data, however a backup is always recommended before upgrading [18:26] ok so on ubuntu 11.4, after a while, my internet stops. I can't reconnect, it says I have a "bad password" even though I never changed it and I know it is correct. any idea on that? [18:26] Jordan_U That's what I did a hundred times, GRUB just refuses to install itself on the array, it ALWAYS goes for dev/sda [18:26] thank you [18:26] Jordan_U: That's what I did a hundred times, GRUB just refuses to install itself on the array, it ALWAYS goes for dev/sda* [18:26] luketheduke, maybe you have updated your graphic card drivers? [18:26] robo: what abaut php5 [18:26] luketheduke, when this happens sometimes X doesn't start up correctly the first time around [18:26] and it needs a few boots [18:26] about sorry [18:26] jcdury, I found that [18:26] but it works for a few minutes, maybe 30 minutes?, and then it just says I have a bad password all of a sudden [18:26] very interesting [18:26] jcdury, well, apt-cache search did [18:26] everything works now [18:26] same when i put my ubuntu hdd in a new pc [18:26] cheater93: I didn't actually restart X [18:26] aha [18:27] you have, though [18:27] robo: so u solved it [18:27] the graphical session was still running [18:27] when you log in, you start a new X [18:27] so "startx" just existed === netsurf3_ is now known as netsurf3 [18:27] exited* [18:27] yeah, but it still restarts X [18:27] jcdury, nope. I need to install php4-dev. I can find php5 and php5-dev but not php4-dev [18:27] if i were you i'd run debsums on the whole linux now [18:28] Jordan_U: I have also noticed that when I tell to the bootloader to aim for the Array and then I add a partition (The swap by example), the bootloader goes automatically back to dev/dm-0 (Or dev/sda, it changes randomly between these two everytime I try to install Ubuntu 11.04 [18:28] so anyways, does anyone know how I can fix my internet? Lol. [18:28] Does anybody have Fglrx? [18:29] cheater93: debsums? [18:29] robo: better if u upgrade to php5-dev [18:29] yeah, checks your system files for corruption [18:29] jcdury, this is to solve dependencies of pecl solr. [18:29] I don't care about php4-dev at all. Pecl solr does :-/ [18:29] robo: or u really need php4-dev [18:29] I'm having trouble with my harddrives, here is the output of dmesg: http://pastebin.com/yGz9Li89 what should i do? [18:29] yes jcdury, I really need php4-dev [18:31] Does anybody know how to configure Radeon drivers? or know how to edit the xorg.conf file? [18:31] -_- [18:31] robo, you can't run php4 extensions under php5 anyways. [18:31] robo, just get the latest solr source package and build it against the latest php5. [18:31] Anyway, thanks for your help serverhorror_ and Jordan_U, I guess I'll stay on Ubuntu 10.10 (just found a LOT of threads complaining about so many bugs within 11.04 that were not in 10.10), I'll wait for the next big update. (I was kinda excited by this update... Too bad) [18:31] or better yet against the php5 version that you have installed. [18:31] cheater93, I'm using debuild to try and build a .deb for pecl solr [18:32] sounds terrible [18:32] why? [18:32] ya [18:32] just does [18:32] robo does it help http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=211338 [18:32] Debian bug 211338 in php4-dev "php4-dev: skeleton directory should be packaged and ext_skel should use it by default" [Normal,Fixed] [18:32] my understanding is to properly manage ubuntu dpkg needs to know all installed packages. If I compiled it by hand I'm bypassing dpkg which my understanding /is/ terrible [18:32] any idea on my internets...? I had restarted my pc and that did not seem to help, and if it is working as usual, my internet may cut out soon [18:32] Is there any difference between the Ubuntu 11.04 "last version" ISO and the Ubuntu 11.04 "LTS" ISO ? [18:33] and then I will not be able to reconnect until I restart my pc [18:33] so any ideas? [18:33] ZKPsirus: have tried running a smart test on the drives?

Here is boot info script tiny.cc/icog2 I think its a boot loader issue, but I'm not sure [18:49] damn it [18:49] then do you use the routers external ip [18:49] tman__: then configure your client to use it as a socks proxy [18:49] * bikcmp dies. [18:49] ubuntu10.10 is nice, get to instead of 11 [18:49] the best is Backtrack 5 [18:49] tman__: uh, this obviously only works if your router has ssh.

[19:15] correct [19:15] nroy1: the variable is listed in /etc/default/grub [19:15] Diamondcite: Thanks for the link! The page says it will download all the rest of the files from the web.... So it's not going to be any smaller. The installer is just an online-one and packaged into a 20 meg file. Won't help. [19:15] soreau, yea sorry I typo'd, also. You ran the script 3 times? ;). Yes comment them all. [19:15] Chertograd: I used it, lets you pick and choose what to install. [19:15] sorry ^ was meant for joseph__ [19:16] Diamondcite: Oh. Thanks! =) I'll try. [19:16] Azelphur: I only ran the script once, but I tried another script like it, also mentioned by OMG Ubuntu, a few months ago. [19:16] soreau, nope chrome addons don't require a browser restart they just install and bam they are done, some of them provide background features some provide buttons [19:16] joseph__, I see :) [19:16] joseph__, but yea comment all the uvesafb lines out [19:17] Azelphur: But you just have to guess how it's supposed to work? [19:17] Azelphur: They're all commented out now. Do I "sudo shutdown now" now? [19:17] Diamondcite: Uhhh... is there any easier way? It says I'd have to use the command-line and I've never had to do that with Ubuntu in the past :D [19:17] tensorpudding, does it have to be a number or text? [19:17] I mean it says it doesn't have the GUI pre-installed... [19:17] joseph__, not quite, one last thing, open up /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash [19:17] Chertograd: Gui assumes more automations.. hence bigger x.x [19:17] hi [19:17] i have a question [19:17] joseph__, does that file only contain one line, FRAMEBUFFER=y ? [19:18] soreau, what addon is it? [19:18] Chertograd: It's still a menu based install, but no mouse usage, just keyboard presses [19:18] Diamondcite: Then why does Xubuntu take like 2 gigs, but Ubuntu 11.04 takes up like 5? I'd still prefer the Gnome instead of Xfce or LXDE any day... I mean LXDE didn't even have a way to create a shortcut of a folder/file within the menus! :D [19:18] nroy1: it's either the number of the entry in the menu, counting from zero, or the entry itself [19:18] Azelphur, yes i have installed it now [19:19] nroy1: the latter is probably preferrable [19:19] Azelphur: Yes. [19:19] Guest85736, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit [19:19] Guest85736, then give me the URL [19:19] Chertograd: Xubuntu uses Desktop Enviroment other than Unity and Gnome [19:19] joseph__, ok delete /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash [19:19] nroy1: entries might move around, but names won't change [19:19] Any idea why the Ubuntu 10.04 64bit server installer cannot see the SCSI raid (Perc 4 D/C) in my Dell Poweredge 2850 server? 32bit installer works fine. Is there some 32-bit only scsi/raid driver? [19:19] I know, it uses Xfce [19:19] joseph__, then run sudo update-grub2 and sudo update-initramfs -u, then reboot [19:19] joseph__, that undoes everything the script did, hope it solves it for you :p [19:20] nroy1: when you're done editing, run 'sudo update-grub', and it will apply your configuration [19:20] Azelphur: I am trying to install something like download helper for firefox but in chromium browser. It downloads any video to avoid in-browser player crappiness and lets you just play the file in an external player from the hard drive [19:20] Chertograd: I can't seem to find the guide I was using before for the minimal install (Only purpose, give me a gui + web browser) [19:20] Azelphur: Thanks a bunch! I'll restart now. You really saved my system (I hope) XD === zamba_ is now known as zamba [19:20] soreau, nice, I dunno I guess it's just a bad addon if you can't find any way of making it work [19:20] What modern version of Ubuntu has the lower requirements? (RAM, CPU) [19:21] lowest [19:21] jjido, ubuntu server (no GUI) :p [19:21] Diamondcite: Doesn't matter whether it's FF4, Chrome or Chromium... just not FF 3.6 as it is so slow compared to the norms :/ And Gnome as desktop... Seriously hate LXDE and Xfce. They lack important stuff imo. [19:21] tensorpudding, thanks. i"ll let u know what happens. [19:21] jjido, 8 [19:21] jjido: server -> netbook -> desktop i believe [19:21] Azelphur: :p sure but I want the GUI [19:21] seethe phoronix blog jjido [19:21] jjido: try netbook then [19:21] zenergi, netbook died, everything is desktop as of 11.04 :p === ModuleXploited_ is now known as guesy [19:21] zenergi: I heard netbook is merged [19:22] Azelphur: oh, sorry, i'm not up to date at all [19:22] Chertograd: Unfortunately Functionality = Size unless you know how to customize the small enviroments. [19:22] jjido, if you want really lightweight Ubuntu probably isn't your best bet. I'd point you in the direction of crunchbang or something. [19:22] Azelphur, http://paste.ubuntu.com/604907/ [19:22] jjido, phoronix have made an extensive test just for your usecase recently [19:22] jjido, but if your really insistent on Ubuntu, maybe try xubuntu. [19:22] cheater93: thanks! Checking that... [19:23] Diamondcite: I think that for example a button to switch the view is a BASIC thing. It's in Ubuntu, it's in Windows... But in Xfce and LXDE you'll have to first go to the menus etc... or hit some keyboard shortcut, which is awkward for a novice :D [19:23] Chertograd: Well I have to go, good luck on your search? (I recommend trying out such a small installation in a Virtual Machine before trying to deploy it for your mother.) [19:23] How to replace Unity with GNOME Shell? [19:23] Diamondcite: Thanks! :) [19:24] how can i make sure that if my system builtin VGS card has been installed correctly by Ubuntu? [19:24] Guest85736, that's me out of ideas, but you know more about the issue now at least, go to #ubuntu-uk and show them that paste and say X crashes on start, maybe someone can help you more :P [19:24] joseph__, working? [19:24] Azelphur: I just restarted, but startx didn't work, and I was sent to the recovery screen again. [19:25] joseph__, have you tried sudo service gdm restart? [19:25] Azelphur: I had startx running on tty1, could that have done anything? [19:25] jjido, yw [19:25] =) [19:25] joseph__, I don't know [19:25] Azelphur: I'll try that. [19:26] azelphur thanks a lot let me give a try [19:26] for those looking to run Adobe AIR on 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04: http://redd.it/h6r71 [19:26] is it possible to push the audio from my ssh server to my ssh client? [19:26] grrrr, this synergy bug has been around for ages, why haven't they fixed it yet?! [19:26] Froq, it is possible, pulseaudio can do it. That's all I know on the subject though :D === KrisDouglas_ is now known as KrisDouglas [19:27] Azelphur: restart: unknown instance [19:27] pulsaudio can stream audio over the network :p [19:27] Chertograd: if you want a really tiny install you could try tinycore, 10MB but still have a GUI :) [19:27] where did keithpeter go?? [19:27] joseph__, sudo service gdm start ? [19:27] hwo to open the python interpreter in gnome ? [19:27] Azelphur: awesome! so I will go look into pulseaudio [19:27] thegladiator, pull up a terminal and type python [19:27] Azelphur: start, not restart? [19:27] joseph__, yes [19:27] Khisanth: Will it come with Gnome by default? And be as easy to use as Ubuntu? [19:27] Hi, I've solved the driver problem by modifying them and letting them think I have a 3870 instead of a 3870x2. Now another problem arises: I've configured evolution to check for gmail, but it doesn't download the emails. It says "connection error" [19:27] Azelphur: Oh. [19:27] if anyone here currently using synergy client on ubuntu? [19:27] Azelphur, gedit has a default embdedded one [19:27] probably can't fit Chrome on 10MB :) [19:27] s/if/is/ [19:28] Hey there. Can you tell me how to install the raw1394 module on natty?, please. [19:28] hi everybody! anyone can help me with openssh-sever and dpkg problem? [19:28] hello all, is this a pro ubuntu table? i am new in linux and have no clue about it but it works great [19:28] I am having some problems getting SSL working with Apache2 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I have the VirtualHost file setup properly as per the standard instructions, but any https: connection attempt fails? [19:28] 11.04 killed the package "KDbg", a KDE frontend to GDB, is there an alternative? How am I supposed to debug software now? [19:28] stupid piece of crap [19:29] how do I insitialize libnids? [19:29] One thing to note is that the computer will NOT have a cable connection... Only a 3G-modem-stick [19:29] !language | soreau [19:29] how do I initialize libnids [19:29] soreau: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [19:29] so it should work out-of-the-box [19:29] Hi. I am very concerned about upgrading from Maverick to Narwhal, specifically concerned regarding the Unity desktop. I make use of Synergy, CSSH, Oracle VirtualBox and a Evolution configuration that relies heavily on microsoft exchange plugins. What are some things I need to do to prepare for the upgrade? [19:29] Azelphur: It worked! I'll try restarting to see if X now automatically starts. [19:29] tensorpudding: oh shove it [19:29] without needing to download anything from the respositories [19:29] repositories* [19:29] joseph__, sounds like your computer isn't automatically starting X for some reason, but yay that it works :P [19:29] Hi, I've solved the driver problem by modifying them and letting them think I have a 3870 instead of a 3870x2. Now another problem arises: I've configured evolution to check for gmail, but it doesn't download the emails. It says "connection error" [19:29] hi [19:30] have i to use unity ? === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [19:30] cheater93: I don't see a test with low RAM config [19:30] DSAASDS: you can choose classic-session if you want [19:30] DSAASDS, no. Use the classic desktop option at login [19:30] DSAASDS: Ubuntu Classic provides the old way for now [19:30] yes but [19:30] in 11.10 ?? [19:30] DefJunx, uhm, u can open websites in a browser? [19:30] DSAASDS: it'll be replaced in 11.10 [19:30] DSAASDS, time travel, it hasn't been invented yet :P [19:30] BlouBlou, how do you do that [19:30] tensorpudding: thats my problem [19:30] DSAASDS: in that release it is expected that GNOME 3 will be available === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [19:31] * LAcan how do I initialize libnids?? [19:31] !classic | sprung, DSAASDS [19:31] sprung, DSAASDS: 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. [19:31] BlouBloU i meant 11.10 [19:31] burito: do you know why it was removed? [19:31] oh [19:31] last question [19:31] tensorpudding, launchpad only has the reason "deleted" [19:31] someone just msged me but then my client died. [19:31] when dont you would to install ubuntu at time [19:31] i mean [19:31] if its 3 months before support ending [19:31] or what [19:31] m [19:32] DSAASDS: or move you kubuntu/xubuntu [19:32] jjido, how much ram do you have? [19:32] tensorpudding, all I know, is I'm dead in the water until I find a replacement [19:32] DSAASDS, please do not use the enter key as a comma, try to use the least amount of lines possible in chat. [19:32] burito: usually packages being removed is because the upstream is dead [19:32] < 512MB [19:32] if its 3 months before support ending [19:32] tensorpudding, it worked, man! thanks a lot :) [19:32] do you would install this release altought? [19:32] nroy1: no problem [19:32] tensorpudding, last update on KDbg's website is the second of April [19:32] burito: yeah, this is strange [19:33] if its 3 months before support ending [19:33] DSAASDS, what language do you speak natively? [19:33] german [19:33] !ubuntu-de [19:33] ftn: have you checked if the module is loaded .. sudo modprobe raw1394 === smh is now known as S4RY [19:33] would you install an release 3 months before the ending of the support [19:33] tensorpudding, it seems to fit completely with the current policy of "disregard users, follow apple" [19:33] smh FATAL: Module raw1394 not found. [19:33] DSAASDS, there is a channel called #ubuntu-de for german [19:34] DSAASDS: what is your actual support question? [19:34] i speak english [19:34] mongy, are you still there === S4RY is now known as Guest83565 [19:34] ftn: okay. [19:34] DSAASDS, we're having problems understanding your question. [19:34] burito: they didn't remove it on a whim, at worst they removed it because no one was willing to maintain the package [19:34] Ocean: i think i cant install maverick [19:34] I am having trouble getting SSL to work with Apache in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Could someone offer a suggestion as to my problem? When I try to connect any https connection fails, although the setup appears to be right. [19:34] Ocean: i think i cant install maverick [19:34] DSAASDS: why? [19:34] is there a chat here about malware? [19:34] burito: oddly, the debian package seems to still be around; packages in ubuntu usually are just rebadged debian packages [19:34] because it isnt worth [19:34] support ends 8 months === Nappz-Zzz is now known as Nappz [19:34] DSAASDS: did you just came here to rant? [19:34] walllable, sure it's called #windows [19:35] ss [19:35] walllable: are you infected with Linux malware??? [19:35] burito: does it use qt 3 or qt 4? [19:35] chromium is a real piece of garbage [19:35] tensorpudding, launchpad does have a package compiled for 11.04, x86 and x64, but I kind of want software I'm using to be in a repository, so it gets updated and stuff [19:35] nah i got perma banned from malware up .org [19:35] none of the extensions do anything they claim to do in their description [19:35] spam [19:35] danooct1 is on it. [19:35] soreau, actually, i have been able to accomplish things in the Chromium browser that i was unable to in firefox or chrome [19:35] is it possible to define 'zones' in ufw, as it was possible in guarddog? i.e. LAN, local, internet, etc. zones which can be easily used as source/destination of rules [19:35] spam [19:35] spam [19:35] adad: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:35] Azephur: This is joseph__ from earlier.

[19:36] anybody use a palm pre? [19:36] from when you would not use a version [19:36] sprung: what? [19:36] soreau, so did you have a question for us about your problem then? [19:36] Just want the damn thing to work and it doesn't [19:36] As I appear to not be getting a response here, could someone offer an alternate suggestion of where to get help with SSL+Apache2 problems? [19:36] Valentine, you're wanting to install mediabuntu stuff. [19:36] how many months before releaseending [19:37] tensorpudding, there is a naty package... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+package/kdbg [19:37] ftn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire [19:37] Valentine, here do all of this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [19:37] zerorts: probably #httpd [19:37] sprung: java, codecs, flashplayer etc, yes, how can i install? [19:37] how many months before releaseending [19:37] sprung: Yes I want to have the 'download helper' firefox addon functionality in chromium. It allows you to download any video to the hard drive to avoid the crappy in-browser flash player [19:37] OK [19:37] burito: there isn't one on the kdbg project page === thegladiator is now known as thevishy [19:38] if there is an good release and you love it, but in 2 months, the support ends [19:38] Valentine, that page is probably exactly what you need [19:38] do you would install ? [19:38] DSAASDS: please stop [19:38] it [19:38] sprung: So far I've tried every addon that claims to do it but so far, none of them work at all. I am testing with youtube but none of them work at all [19:38] soreau, downloadhelper is a 3rd party plugin, there's also mediadownloader and a few others that do the same thing. [19:38] Azelphur: This is joseph__ from earlier. X is not automatically starting, but I can start it manually with sudo service gdm start [19:38] tensorpudding, I think you're right... the ubuntu build is linked against Qt3 [19:38] if there is an good release and you love it, but in 2 months, the support ends [19:39] do you would install ? [19:39] burito: okay [19:39] sprung: Yes where can I find these. I searched in their little extension searcher thing and it turns up nothing that works [19:39] did they ever make a fix for those Intel i8xx driver issues? [19:39] burito: so what i think happened [19:39] DSAASDS: please take your rant elsewhere, this channel is for support issues [19:39] tensorpudding, is Qt3 verboten?

[19:41] Guest83565 the problem is that my kernel (xubuntu's) seems not to have the old firewire stack modules [19:41] Hi There, [19:41] soreau, what is your question? so far, all i've heard you do is mewl about how much you hate chromium because you don't have the plugins you want. What's the question? [19:41] burito: but it's likely somehow has a ppa of the new version, i think [19:42] LAcan: try packages.ubuntu.com, for natty it's libnids1.21 [19:42] Can anyone help me with the error "nids_init: Libnids not initialized" ? It's installed.

[19:43] BlouBlou: Yes [19:43] tensorpudding, to me it's not a KDE issue... it's a development issue. GDB is an aweful program to use, many say "just use emacs", other than that we have DDD which was ugly 15 years ago [19:44] LAcan: I have no clue. Have you tried installing the -dev? libnids-dev [19:44] ubottu: The PPA is good if you want to reinstall ubuntu, oterwise its garbage. [19:44] Anyone can help with bind 9 and multiple domains? 1 domain is working but the other isn't. I could show the written lines in order to understand what's the problem. [19:44] oCean, should devs be installed in parallel or remove the non-dev first? [19:44] tensorpudding, well at least I can stop freaking the hell out now [19:45] burito: the solution might be to try building the oneiric source package [19:45] LAcan: -devs can be installed besides the normal packages, but the -devs are only used when you need to build things, but there is no harm in trying [19:45] oCean, kk ty [19:45] !webcam [19:45] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [19:45] is there a way to format an ext filesystem and have it use 777 permissions on whatever box yo use it on ? its root:root and 755 otherwise.

My card is VT8378 [S3 UniChrome] and, for now, I was trying to copy over /etc/X11/xorg.conf items. Are there tools or webpages that I should be using? [19:48] Any bind9 all knowers here? [19:48] At anyone; If my computer is only occasionally connecting using ethernet, does that mean there could be an issue with the network card, or would the network card having a fault mean it would never connect?

[19:50] enovativ, i cant get a CLI program to work properly error is "nids_init: Libnids not initialized" [19:51] oCean, is there a way that programs know where libraries are stored or is that handled by the OS?

[19:56] !ot | Canonical [19:56] Canonical: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [19:57] Hi, I am unable to record sound with my built-in mic. Whatever connector I use, nothing comes in. How can I solve this? [19:57] ok ill get out [19:57] Sylvie: check the sounds preferences and make sure the Input device is correct [19:57] I have asked Google, but everything is from 6.04, and doesn't apply to 11.04 [19:58] hi i want to make my windows partition bigger can i do that in gparted? and do i use livecd or install? [19:58] sneakers, Oh a really old one... you have a choice of fglrx or radeon... radeonhd will absolutely not work with your card, and its merging back into radeon anyway. radeon is more stable, but is stuck at OpenGL 2.2 and Pixel Shaders 1.6. If you don't know what that means then you don't need it :-) [19:58] IdleOne, that's what I did. Every input listed does not record anything [19:58] Can anyone help me on installing ubuntu on Toshiba laptop? [19:59] kingofswords: its ok to do that in your ubuntu system, livecd is only important if you want to modify a partition you are mounted on, like linux root [19:59] Sylvie: run alsamixer in a terminal and ensure nothing is muted. [19:59] sneakers, in my experience, fglrx is a bit faster, but a lot less stable, so you're probably better off with radeon unless you're a performance junkie [19:59] burito, So do I currently have radeon or fglrx installed? And which one would be better? [19:59] atdprhs: whats so hard .... [20:00] nmvictor, i only have 1 hdd so is it still ok to use ubuntu install to resize as the space will be coming from ybuntu [20:00] it freezes before showing the GUi where I get to choose between try ubuntu or install === iegg is now known as Kartagis [20:00] sneakers, In... I can't tell you how to load the Additional Drivers program anymore... because there is no menus to get to it in Unity. Ask someone how to load that, and it should list fglrx, and have a little light (green= enabled, grey = off) [20:00] is it unusual that i get a "no screens detected" when i switch my xorg.conf from nvidia to nouveau? [20:00] Configuring ttf-mscorefonts-installer ,,, i cant click on OK button on this screen in terminal. its some text editor? [20:00] !unity [20:00] Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to GNOME see !classic. [20:01] so nmvictor: any idea? [20:01] sneakers, another one is type this in a terminal... [20:01] sneakers, lsmod | grep fglrx [20:01] IdleOne, when I change the volume on output, I see the Master volume go up and down, but when I change the Input volume, with any connector, nothing changes in alsamixer [20:01] sneakers, if it says nothing, you're running radeon [20:01] whos Canonical? [20:02] kingofswords: I have a partition named MOVIES which I resized the other day using gparted while in my cauurent ubuntu install, no livecd required. So treat thy windows partition as i treated my windows partition, but you need to unmount it first, take great care if its type is ntfs, [20:02] burito, Ok radeon then. [20:02] Sylvie: not sure how else to help you. perhaps someone else can [20:02] hi guys, my X crashes when i boot into 11.04 (fresh install, http://paste.ubuntu.com/604907/ can any one help [20:02] walllable: just a user, why do you ask? [20:02] kingofswords: .... as i treated my MOVIES partition .... [20:02] sneakers, fglrx kicks the system around a bit, so only try it out if you're made of stern stuff [20:02] nmvictor, ok thanks [20:03] idk looked at the chat log than i wondered why. also the name of it is similar to the creator of ubuntu. probably just a copier though [20:03] IdleOne, :( [20:03] what software to use to burn MP4 to disk. [20:03] anyone lend a hand mounting a HDD [20:04] Applez: be a bit verbose with your problem, [20:04] or should I say, what software to use to burn mp4 to a music CD [20:04] Sylvie: lspci | grep Audio [20:04] Sylvie: what is the result? [20:04] where are the official ubuntu instructions on how to install the fglrx driver using the repository package management system? [20:05] OK, I have a HDD, i think it's XFS formatted (99% sure) was from broken buffalo. need data from it. [20:05] sneakers, Ubunt Software Center [20:05] sneakers, use the "assitional drivers" program, otherwise it gets really painful really quickly [20:05] uRock: brasero is installed by default.

I don't see the problem [20:06] bbs [20:06] i have attached SATA drive using A USB converter and now have 5 partions and some speak of RAID, i have another drive but i'm hoping to remover from them one at a time. === shooter_ is now known as genshooter [20:06] nmvictor, those are all howto burn to dvd, not music CD [20:07] nmvictor: Please don't give lmgtfy links in here it is rude. [20:07] oh hang on i have lts alternate verion of ubuntu....so that means no gparted right? [20:07] Hello [20:07] nmvictor [20:07] I have managed to get into the GUI [20:07] but unfortionately it doesn't give me option to install ubuntu a long side with windows 7? [20:07] any ideas? anyone can help? [20:08] IdleOne, problem solved with alsamixer. I had change some screens until I got to the mic setup, and change "mic" to "internal mic" and it works now [20:08] uRock, when I open "Additional Drivers" I don't see anything for my ATI video card [20:08] I guess I have to use WIndows and iTunes to get this done, thanks any folks [20:08] Sylvie: happy you figured it out :) [20:09] Hi all [20:09] can anyone tell me any solution to install ubuntu a long side with windows 7? (It doesn't give me that ubuntu like it did on the other laptop that I have here)? [20:10] IdleOne, thanks [20:10] atdprhs - are you using the live cd or the install cd/dvd? [20:10] hy [20:10] yes I'm using a live cd [20:10] I burned it on DVD [20:10] Is anyone else reporting like 150 seeders and 20 leechers on the Ubuntu 11.04 64bit desktop cd iso ? It used to be like 2000+ seeders [20:10] I am talking about the torrent of course [20:10] When I downloaded the DVD it worked fine. I have win7 and ubuntu 11.04 installed on duel boot [20:10] hi [20:11] IdleOne, are you insinuating that the website creator was rude to come up with that, doesnt it get someone started on a problem, Googling a problem is not common to everyone as you might think, that lmgtfy website reminds people of Google and the wonders it can do, and in my case, my recepient din't think it as rude [20:11] any one well in git? [20:11] mehdi: hi [20:11] don't use the live CD option, download the entire thing and burn onto DVD, then try install again. === cristiano is now known as Guest24790 [20:11] can anyone say ssh in git? [20:12] Xornot: it worked on my personal laptop [20:12] I have two personal laptops [20:12] does anyone knows can install netbean 7 on ubuntu 11.4 === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [20:12] Hi, I have 11.04 and I can't play my commerical DVDs. What do I need to do? [20:12] nmvictor: it is channel policy not to give lmgtfy links because it has been decided by the channel ops that it is rude. [20:12] sneakers: already tried googling? [20:12] can anyone say about rsa key in ssh git [20:12] nmvictor: feel free to use it if you like but when providing a link give a direct link please. [20:12] but one of them, I had to give up on the recovery drive and then reformat the whole laptop then reinstall windows 7 from scratch (through recovery DVDs) then I became able to install ubuntu a longside with Win7 through its option [20:13] but this option is not available too on my friend's laptop here === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy [20:13] IdleOne: i need help [20:13] Xornot: I can't choose that option and I want to avoid making him lose his recovery drive also like I did [20:13] walllable: ask a question :) [20:13] well, hard to say without seeing the laptop myself. sry. [20:13] i'm currently trying to copy over some files over to my Ubuntu server, but everything just stalls... any idea what you think the problem might be? [20:14] I understand xornot [20:14] afk [20:14] whenever i go into unity, nothing appears but the wallpaper [20:14] if you use any of the messenger [20:14] Is it possible to control which monitor the bar displays on? [20:14] o btw i'm using 11.04 and the server is using 10.04 [20:14] I can open webcam and show you the install look [20:14] or take screen shots for you [20:14] did u hear my idleone? [20:15] walllable: I don't know how to help with unity. accept to say try booting to classic ubuntu. see /msg ubottu !classic [20:15] hi. I've upgraded to 11.04. When I fire up the Ubuntu One Control Panel, it looks like it logs in, then goes back to a screen asking me to join or log in. Then if i click to log in, it does nothing. can i remove my settings anywhere? [20:15] hi, i lost my main bar in many applications in ubuntu unity rendering them unusable, is that a "feature"? [20:15] DarsVaeda: you mean the system tray? [20:15] DarsVaeda, yes [20:15] system tray? [20:15] ubuntu 11.04no me funciona en minilapto compaq [20:15] i mean the one on the top [20:16] where you can do stuff like file and sorts [20:16] How do I install support for playing commerical DVDs? Thank you. [20:16] Is there a way (program perhaps) to count how many GB of downloads/uploads you use a month? [20:16] like pidgin, i can not even open a chat cause the bar is missing [20:16] MSG ubottu whenever i try to use unity nothing appears but the wallpaper!!!!! [20:16] sneakers: When you insert the CD, does anything pop up? [20:16] DarsVaeda: if you have the application focused, then roll over the top bar, the menu appears [20:16] libre office is always maximized in view but i cant get it smaller to have 2 windows next to eachother [20:16] mmk well i'll post on forums then [20:17] no it doesnt, thats the problem [20:17] DarsVaeda, are you on Unity? [20:17] IdleOne: Ok, bos. You win, but open source is bigger than #ubuntu and Ubuntu as a whole, telling someone to refer to another open source project isnt rude, its the true spirit in the open source world, infact not doing that is selfish and such policy might be more usefull in closed source world where Microsoft and all that comes with it reside. So for now, we'll bow to that policy but with our opinions made open. [20:17] i am on unity [20:17] unfortunatly gnome3 fails to install and corrupts everything :( [20:17] DarsVaeda, open ccsm and enable the Grid plugin,, this will allow you to drag the window to any edge and max it only on that edge [20:17] DarsVaeda, like windows 7 thingy [20:18] i actually hate this, drag to the edge and max it thing [20:18] coz_: Grid plugin functionality is available in windows* ? [20:18] I only want to windows next to eachother [20:18] two [20:18] nmvictor, no windows7 max window to edge is available on compiz [20:19] How can I re-map/program a keyboard key to output a line of text? [20:19] Is there a way (program perhaps) to count how many GB of downloads/uploads you use a month? [20:19] DarsVaeda: look at the Place plugin, its tries to place windows next to each other with minimized overlapping, though it can do otherwise if you asked it to [20:19] any idea how to clear my ubuntu one settings? [20:20] Solved, What? [20:20] DarsVaeda, it should be possible with compiz Grid or even the Tile plugin [20:20] why a plugin [20:20] DarsVaeda: then resize the windows [20:20] sneakers: Let me get this straight. You can't play a regular dvd movie that you buy from the store? [20:20] coz_: whats tha supposed to mean, far as I know windows graphics functionality cant be as good as compiz graphics [20:20] DarsVaeda: you can have two windows next to each other you know [20:20] ok i fixed libre office by killing it...seems to be a bug [20:21] but that does not work on pidgin, still no menu... [20:21] DarsVaeda: sounds very much like your upgrade didn't quite go as smoothly as it should have [20:21] nmvictor, what I mean is,, have you seen windows7 drag window to edge and it maximizes vertically on that edge alone? [20:21] how to enter memtest if my grub doesnt give me options at all but directly loads ubuntu for it is the only system? [20:21] I cant even report a bug cause i cant get to the help menu ^^ [20:21] actually isnt funny [20:21] and I did a clean install from scratch @ simmerz [20:21] DarsVaeda: the menu isn't in the window. It's in the top panel bar [20:21] hello === b_ is now known as Guest91254 [20:22] yeah i know where it SHOULD be [20:22] coz_: nope, unless its a new thing [20:22] but its not there [20:22] can i ask two things about the upcoming Ubuntu Developer Summit? [20:22] nmvictor, its new to windows and also compiz [20:22] Solved, Yes [20:22] sneakers: What happens when you insert it into the CD drive? [20:22] Hi, my ubuntu 10 doesn't detect my iphone, anybody knows how to fix it? [20:22] 1. the time on the SCHEDULE is in CEST (Hungarian local) time? [20:22] DarsVaeda: odd [20:23] totally [20:23] Guest91254: what is your Iphon os? [20:23] anyone know if liferea works with twitter feeds anymore seems twitter dropped rss support [20:23] i mean i can swap to gnome2 [20:23] * simmerz still needs to wipe and reinstall from scratch. did an upgrade first. [20:23] DarsVaeda: clearly not the point though [20:23] coz_: ok, hey, How do I disable compiz on gnomenu, I want that menu to just launch without the compiz effects, any help please? [20:23] but what do i do when they drop that in the next version? [20:23] Guest91254: Try powering it on while it is plugged in (or just pressing/holding power button) [20:23] ok, where in unity can i access the sound settings? youtube sounds like the audio is streamed through a witness protection device [20:23] nmvictor, well in ccsm you can exlude applications ,, etc,, withing the window match fields [20:23] oneliner: click the speaker in the top panel and then preferences [20:24] Guest91254: Or, try opening a program such as gtkpod, and seeing if it notices it. [20:24] nmvictor, within I meant [20:24] where can i find an ubuntu expert to help me with unity??? [20:24] walllable, well this would be the best place [20:24] how is that main menu bar actually called? [20:24] walllable, what is the issue [20:24] Solved, I get a dialog window that says "Removable medium is inserted" and "Please select the action you want to perform" and then in the list there is only 1 thing "Open in File Manager". [20:25] sneakers: Do you have vlc installed? [20:25] ever since I've upgraded to 11.04, my system just hangs at times when I'm opening a heavy page e.g. the Nike store's flash website. Just now, I ran a game and it was stuck so I had to unplug my computer then. My system has a NVidia card and while it worked fine on 10.10, it says it's NOT ACTIVE in 11.04 [20:25] Hello! [20:25] whenever i use unity gui, nothing appears but the wallpaper [20:25] Solved, I just have whatever came with Ubuntu 11.04 by default. Looks like its "GNOME MPlayer". [20:26] i usually run ubuntu in a virtual machine such as virtualbox etc. -> is it possible to virtually run an existing ubuntu partition as a virtual machine from the hard drive? [20:26] coz: whenever i use unity gui, nothing appears but the wallpaper [20:26] How do I get commercial encrypted DVDs to play in Ubuntu 11.04? [20:26] Will there be publicly aviable power cords at UDS? I think my laptop will need power (battery is pure crap) [20:26] sneakers: Go to applications -> Ubuntu Software Centre === else is now known as Guest76105 [20:26] hello there. My problem is not with Ubuntu. I am using Joliclioud - an Ubuntu derivative. I have a Dell machine with a CDRW and a DVD reader drive too. Basically, I've removed both drives and moved the jumpers around - now I cannot get the drives to show up in the BIOS - actually the DVD drive shows up in BIOS with one jumper configuration but does not show up in the OS - the CDRW now does not show up in BIOS or OS. Make se [20:26] nse? [20:26] anyone? :( [20:27] Note-book, you have to enable third party drivers [20:27] hello, I got a problem with my notebook. It's a quite new lenovo z370 and ubuntu doesn't recognize my card reader. It does not mount any cards inserted, neither shows them in gparted, no matter if they are inserted before booting or while running xubuntu already [20:27] !dvd | sneakers [20:27] sneakers: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [20:27] Note-book, go to "Additional Drivers" in your system menu [20:27] sauerbraten, "cards"? [20:27] sneakers: then, in the search bar, type in vlc, and hit enter [20:28] LAcan, how do I do that? I have the driver downloaded but it says it's not active and there's no option to do so unlike 10.10 [20:28] coz_: well, what I wanted was the window match for gnomenu, Any ideas? [20:28] iceroot, That page says it applies to 10.10. Does it apply to 11.04 also? [20:28] does anyone know what I can do to enable the option in the ubuntu installation that lets me install ubuntu alongside windows? [20:28] why does ubuntu sometimes fail to boot when I'm running my laptop on battery? it works one time after disconnecting it from the power cable, and fails every time after that. Back on the cable it works fine again [20:28] sneakers: you just need the libdvdcss2 and the page should tell how to install it [20:28] this is my MOTD when i ssh into a server: http://pastebin.com/MSaUV2md - notice the duplication? how do i fix this? [20:28] sneakers: also working with 11.04 and all other ubuntu versions [20:28] Note-book: I have several, reasons to stick with 10.10, includding that one. [20:28] LAcan, SD cards, xD cards, ... [20:28] Note-book, first you learn to read. the answer is ^^ [20:29] sauerbraten, no driver is installed. if the machine is very new, drivers may not yet exist. boot windows, difure out the hardware model and rev numbers, then search for a linux driver [20:29] LAcan, I read properly but despite the driver downloaded, it says "ACTIVE BUT NOT IN USE" [20:29] nmvictor, well the window match has a + icon to click which brings up another dialog,,, with a "grab" button that allows you to click the application to set it [20:29] nmvictor, I've heard horror stories regarding NVidia on 11.04 [20:29] nmodprime, the "Invert" tick box allows that applicaton to be excluded [20:29] does anyone know what I can do to enable the option in the ubuntu installation that lets me install ubuntu alongside windows? [20:29] Anyone know how to get information about a window with only its pid? I managed to find a way to do so in C, but I'm after a command-line approach [20:29] Note-book, YOU GO TO "ADDITIONAL DRIVERS" IN SYSTEM AND INSTALL IT THAT WAY [20:29] iceroot, Okay thanks. I had libdvdread4 but I had not run that script that installs the decryption library. === bruno is now known as Guest60087 [20:30] LAcan, k, though that will be a pain in the ass :/ [20:30] LAcan, I have done it that way. It says ACTIVE BUT NOT IN USE. Do you get that? [20:30] sauerbraten : :-) [20:30] sauerbraten, thats why i dont run ubuntu on the newest hardware.. card readers and fingersprint scanners being the most problematic [20:30] Note-book, you're right, at least when you are on a notebook with nvidia optimus technology... [20:30] Note-book: since 11.04 isnt LTS, I'll give it 3 months or so before trying so that some bugs are fixed first. [20:30] Note-book, did you enable third party drivers thru additional drivers.. its a checkbox or something [20:31] atdprhs: During installation, it'll ask you how you want to partition your hard drive. It will give you the option of splitting your hard drive between being allocated for windows and ubuntu [20:31] LAcan, Yes I have. [20:31] Note-book, how new is the card? === derp|cake is now known as derp [20:31] LAcan, GEForce GO 7400 on a DV6000 HP. [20:31] sauerbraten, Unfortunately I'm on a notebook :( [20:31] LAcan, Note-book I had the same problem, like many others. it just sucks and now I'm powering down the nvidia card every time I use linux to get a longer battery life at least [20:32] nsd: in the partition, it doesnt show the right partitioning details [20:32] coz_: I know how to enable the window matches is just that I need that exact string for gnomenu, otherwise how do I grab the menu, it will dissappear before i get to it, you know menu's, right? [20:32] Note-book, hrmmmm.... sorry, cant help. sign the peition to have nvidia provice its own linus drivers.... [20:32] it gives me 160 GB unused space [20:32] while they are allocated and used [20:32] LAcan, nvidia does provide their own linux drivers... [20:32] atdprhs: You can choose to partition manually; I'd recommend doing that [20:32] I chose [20:32] nmodprime, well try in the window match gnomenu and see if that is it [20:33] but it doesn't give me the correct details to start working on it [20:33] sauerbraten, so did you check their forums and so on? [20:33] sauerbraten, I'm plugged into AC anytime so that doesn't bother me but I want the darn graphics card :( [20:33] I have installed subversion doing: sudo apt-get install subversion. How do I checkout a project? [20:33] LAcan, Where do I sign it? :( [20:33] manfredrasta: svn co url [20:33] nsd: it tells me that I have 160 GB unused [20:33] yep, and the moderator in their linux support forum said they do not plan to support optimus in linux atm [20:34] Note-book, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1712278 [20:34] atdprhs: Do you know if you accidentally deleted your windows partition? That's a possibility [20:34] though, there are some open-source projects working on it [20:34] Sorry if proprietary driver questions aren't welcome here, but... I'm having a problem with the nvidia driver in Ubuntu 11.04 (64bit), where if I leave the computer idle for a while the screen goes completely white. I can still see the pointer move when I move my mouse, but I can't see any display. [20:34] Note-book, your card has this "Optimus" tech? [20:34] I know [20:34] I've found that I can get the display back if I ssh from another box, and use xrandr to change the resolution to something else, then back again [20:34] atdprhs: Are you using the alternate install disk or the regular one? [20:34] that's why I'm avoiding to do it manually [20:34] since it doesn't ive me the correct info [20:34] Curtman, which nvidia?

[20:35] Can you turn a jar file to a .deb? [20:35] iceroot, it is italian. If necessary ill translate it [20:36] nmvictor: yes [20:36] anyone running an ssd with the discard option/trim enabled? can you run sudo biosdecode and see what acpi version you have [20:36] Curtman, your mom's a gamer?? [20:36] (nsd: I don't want to lose my windows partition, I'll do what you tell me exactly but please if there is 1% risk, let me know?

[20:36] atdprhs: Of course. fdisk -l only tells you what partitions exist [20:36] LAcan, I think optimus technology owners could still use nvidia's chip, if I only could find a way to prevent ubuntu use my onboard graphics chip (sandybridge graphics unit in my case) [20:36] okayz [20:37] LAcan, Hahah.. No, not at all. I used the restricted driver manager (jockey-gtk) to enable the "current" version. [20:37] give me one minute, I'm loading ubuntu 11.04 again from the live CD [20:37] Xornot, I don't think so not sure really probably depends on how you access the IRC [20:37] rgr and ty [20:37] iceroot, shoul be: the server sent an unaspectated return value (501 not Implemented) to the response OPTIONS at the request of 'http:// my url.com' [20:37] (I tested that uncorrect info from both 10.10 and 11.04 [20:37] Xornot: /ignore -JOINS -PARTS on irssi, maybe its also working on xchat [20:37] LAcan, I'm giving her a dual-boot pc, so that when her Windows implodes (which it will) she'll have something to use.

[20:39] I am trying to use the taskbar icon but it just takes the button click and forgets [20:39] using virtualbox now but im open to anything [20:39] iceroot, should i also indicate the folder of the poject I want? e.g. svn://myUrl.com/webProject? [20:39] Is this a bug or ? [20:39] atdprhs: Once you have a terminal open, just do "sudo fdisk -l" [20:39] iceroot, yes I know, [20:39] manfredrasta: yes [20:39] Curtman, ok, thats similar to "Additional Drivers" in your system menu? it asked u about third party drivers and so on...? [20:39] Is there any way with 11 to shut off the frigging trackpad? Which there was under 10? [20:39] okayz [20:39] manfredrasta: the complete url from the repo [20:39] how do i make the window close button etc go to the right side of the window instead of the left? [20:39] LAcan, additional drivers == jockey-gtk [20:40] !controls | doxin [20:40] doxin: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 [20:40] partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary [20:40] LAcan, If I go to "System Settings", the "Additional Drivers", that's what I used.

[20:40] can I please PM you to avoid the too many messages here because I get confused? [20:40] nmvictor, NVidia's technology on newer cards that shuts the card on/off depending on battery state bla bla [20:40] manfredrasta: ask the provider of the repo for the correct adress [20:40] atdprhs: Sure [20:40] how to add 'open a terminal' to popup [20:41] atdprhs, no, just type names into the message and it will be easier [20:41] iceroot, I am the provider :) [20:41] atdprhs: Or that [20:41] gk__, what do you mean by "pop up"?

Possibly when the screensaver kicks in. It happened once when I maximized chromium (browser), where the chromium window went white. I minimized it, and every time I interected with a window, it turned white as well. I did my xrandr trick from ssh, and it solved it as well. [20:42] manfredrasta: its the same on linux [20:42] I'm using xChat [20:42] manfredrasta: just use the correct adress [20:43] Note-book: If you wouldn't, get me up to speed on your initial problem. What was it?

If you want this right-click-menu entry in your file-manager, you should search the software center for "nautilus" (also techical items), I think there is a plugin for that [20:43] nsd: okayz [20:43] iceroot, I tried svn://localhost:8080/projectName and looks it works [20:43] nsd: thanks [20:44] atdprhs: No problem [20:44] atdprhs: Did you get the output in a pastebin? [20:44] iceroot, anyway, where is it going to checkout the project? [20:44] Curtman, try disabling all screen setting in power management and screensaver... see if that solves it... basically dont have it do those things... [20:44] how would I upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04 if I don't want to install natty? [20:44] manfredrasta: where you called the svn co [20:44] dizzyfoxkit: just make a normal upgrade [20:44] dizzyfoxkit: thats a downgrade [20:44] dizzyfoxkit: its only upgrading to the next release [20:45] please link in room polen ubuntu ?

Maybe what you killed is a child process to that running process, use pgrep to get all the PIDs matching a process, e.g pgrep vlc, might return 2220 1233 if we have to instance of vlc running with those pid, then you could use the kill [pid] command to shut down the process [21:15] its frostwire bot fw sorry [21:15] sneakers: mplayer is [21:16] how you change the login screen background [21:16] deathcat23: you can't [21:16] damn it [21:16] apt-get install flasplayer -> E: Unabletolocate [21:17] Juest, Are you sure its mplayer?

[22:10] thanks trism [22:10] jakubo: yea there is [22:10] coachj: The entire system is running in memory, so it installs to the filesystem it's using in RAM [22:10] i have used the unity panel for a day or so .. would like to use it more but I think the lack of applets is a problem for me at least [22:10] ActionParsnip: so it doesnt touch my HD? [22:10] try to get it installed or look on the just posted manual first ;) [22:10] coachj: none at all [22:10] soreau, I know how to access the windows partition but I was wondering the easiest way of duplicating the desktop folder [22:11] it should have the option to have the panel available to add [22:11] crash1hd: Maybe rsync? not sure [22:11] ActionParsnip: is there a way to save setting to a thumb drive [22:11] soreau, ok just wondering cause I have heard of other ways :) [22:11] coachj: Save what setting? [22:11] coachj: you can mount /home to an external storage and your settings for apps will be stored. You will need to remount it each time [22:12] anyone here use a 300Mbps wireless N router? just curious what kind of transfer rates you average on a LAN with WPA/WPA2 encrryption on? [22:12] Hi, I'm trying to create a big raid5 with mdadm, 20 disks (of which one spare) but mdadm seems to get confused and only makes a 19 disk array with 2 spares and a 'missing' disk. Is anyone familiar with mdadm? [22:12] coachj: you can alternatively make a persistent usb install and updates and changes will stick [22:12] LS1 yeah [22:12] ActionParsnip: thank you! [22:12] soreau: thank you you too [22:13] ok thanks installed [22:13] ActionParsnip: I assume that would take a usb device of at keast 2 gb [22:13] *least [22:13] trism: ok thanks but.. [22:13] coachj: the persistent usb isn;t made with usb-creator [22:13] is there a way to redirect the desktop folder? [22:13] coachj: you can make a live USB with 1Gb [22:13] abu-bakr: you may need to log out, then back in before it will appear in the add applet dialog [22:14] trism: installed it but i would like to have the search box on the panel - how do i add it? [22:14] crash1hd: move the folder, then create a symlink [22:14] trism: oic [22:14] abu-bakr: right click/add to panel [22:14] ActionParsnip: then the remaining space can be used to store settings, apps, etc..? [22:14] trism: that's fantastic.. i'll log out now and try it .. will let you know in a bit [22:14] "E: Package postgresql-8.3 has no installation candidate" help? [22:15] coachj: sure, you can set the rest of the space to be for storage [22:15] jakubo: i had to use the lphhy version [22:15] ActionParsnip: cool thks [22:15] /j #quizzen [22:15] ActionParsnip, I was wondering that or mount bind? [22:15] fisch246: does it work now? [22:15] jakubo: i also have fwcutter [22:16] crash1hd: symlink is far easier [22:16] hi there [22:16] ActionParsnip, ok thanks :) [22:16] fisch246: actually it was one of the first things i did after installing 11.04 alpha 2 XD [22:17] Is there a way to get libqt4-multimedia for Ubuntu Natty? [22:17] I think my upgrade to GNOME 3 went wrong; My theme changed to clearlooks but when I try to login with GNOME 3 instead of Ubuntu it goes black but then back to login. If I log in with Ubuntu Classic I get gnome 2. I did an apt-get upate and upgrade after adding the GNOME 3 PPA. [22:17] it seems to be an obsolete package [22:17] !info libqt4-multimedia [22:17] Package libqt4-multimedia does not exist in natty [22:17] so still noone to fix my sound problems? [22:17] trism: many thanks! thats done the trick [22:17] abu-bakr: you're welcome [22:17] industrial: gnome3 isn't supported ere [22:17] industrial: What does you log file say?

[22:19] help me please with my sound.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/604943/ [22:19] go8765: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh [22:19] trism: i'm curious, are you a more hands on developer or just an ubuntu junkie or linux tech?? [22:19] go8765: Do you have an integrated sound card that has been active but no longer is? [22:20] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/604960/ [22:21] go8765: select YES to upload [22:21] ActionParsnip: The one that is required by http://collabshot.com/ . I think that's 4:4.6.2-0ubuntu5.2 [22:21] so upgrading 8.04 to 10.04 throws out all your data with no hope of recovery? [22:22] Dmole: should be ok, your backups will save your data [22:22] is gnome 3 supported in here? === patrick is now known as Guest40296 === Guest40296 is now known as driftkidd [22:22] ActionParsnip: only if the backups were dumps :( [22:22] BlueEagle, im sorry, my english i bed... a nd i dont understant what mean - that has been active but no longer is? [22:22] Dmole: how do you mean "dumps"? [22:22] !ask | patric [22:22] patric: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:23] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/604961/ [22:23] ActionParsnip: all I have is a cold copy of the files not an sql dump. [22:23] go8765: Exactly. I had some issues when I got a new soundcard and deactivated the integrated card. Seems as if linux got confused when attempting to find the right card. [22:23] Dmole: why don't you have a digital backup? [22:23] is there a working way to get gnome3 working on ubuntu 11.04? [22:24] jakubo: alright back... i'm using b43, but i still have connection problems... i can connect, but i can't upload [22:24] BlueEagle, i have only integrated sound card [22:24] jakubo: which was my problem earlier [22:24] driftkidd: you can try to add ppa [22:24] ActionParsnip: yes I have a backup but pg_upgradecluster needs the old version installed and it's no longer in the repos [22:24] BlueEagle, and virtual sound card virtmidi.... [22:24] well, so far every time i added it, it then crashed and upon reboot it just black screened. [22:25] go8765: Then I will have to leave you in the capable hands of ActionParsnip. :) [22:25] driftkidd: because ppa is experimental ( I think they call that name) [22:25] ActionParsnip: Was that good info about version? [22:25] Wizek: can't find a ppa for it, sorry [22:25] !info alsa-base maverick [22:25] alsa-base (source: alsa-driver): ALSA driver configuration files. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.23+dfsg-1ubuntu4 (maverick), package size 308 kB, installed size 512 kB [22:26] ActionParsnip, ? [22:26] go8765: did you add a ppa to get a later version of alsa? maverick uses 1.0.23, you have 1.0.24..... [22:26] ActionParsnip, yes [22:26] ActionParsnip, what distro/DE do you use? out of curiousity [22:27] mongy: several and several [22:27] ActionParsnip, delete it? [22:27] ActionParsnip: lubuntu is one of them isn´t it? === system is now known as Guest16619 [22:27] ActionParsnip: you are not being helpful in the slightest [22:27] go8765: you may need to add: options snd-hda-intel model=auto in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [22:27] what is the equivelent of "apt-get install" for macs? does anyone know? [22:28] fizyplankton: ask the mac channel :) [22:28] fizyplankton yes there aint one... [22:28] jrib: sorry [22:28] Dmole: you may be able to get your data using livecd to access the data. I suggest you review your backup regime. If you had a backup you wouldn't have any issue. Your drive motor may randomly fail, then you would have a REAL issue but it can and DOES happen [22:28] fizyplankton: google fink [22:29] fizyplankton: ask in a mac channel [22:29] ActionParsnip, where i need to add this? [22:29] go8765: read what I wrote.... [22:30] ActionParsnip: are you a bot, you seem to be answering questions completely unrelated to my problem [22:30] ActionParsnip, i mean - in the end of file? [22:30] Dmole: you are worried about your data. I gave you a way to get it back, you can then do a clean install [22:30] go8765: yes at the end of the file is fine [22:31] fizyplankton: #osx [22:31] mongy: I use puppy on my torrent server and gentoo on my samba and backup server. My laptop runs xpud and ubuntu [22:31] fizyplankton: #OSX [22:32] mongy: gentoo system has no DE, puppy uses openbox (whatever is default), Ubuntu using gome+unity. Xpud uses plate UI [22:32] ActionParsnip, and what now? [22:32] ActionParsnip, ok, cool. I'm going back to maverick on my laptop. natty is just a buggy mess. [22:32] go8765: save the new file, close gedit and reboot to test [22:32] ActionParsnip:no I'm not conserned about my data I'm want to upgrade it to make it work after the OS/RDBMS upgrade [22:33] mongy: its very new so there are still issues [22:33] ActionParsnip, even classic desktop.... [22:33] ActionParsnip, thanks) i go reboot [22:33] Dmole: some users have issues after upgrades. I always clean install personally. Maybe someone else can advise === hays_ is now known as hays [22:34] mongy: you can use Ubuntu Classic, no effects [22:34] fisch246: hmm im sry, im a noob myself, this is as far as i could help [22:35] just too many things to list that are broken in comparison to 10.xx. usb drives wont automount, every cd/dvd I burn I then try to insert and wont mount, has sense errors, compiz randomly forgets it exists, no edge+click settings work in compiz..I could go on. [22:35] ActionParsnip, the same [22:35] MonkeyDust, I am using classic now, its still not a patch on my 10.10 setup. [22:35] greetings fellow ubuntu users...my wifi is down and am not sure how to get it going again since I upgraded to 11. [22:36] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/604965/ [22:36] The wifi icon is red instead ob blue : - ( and when I look to enable wireless, the section is greyed over [22:37] go8765: hmmm, I don't have a ~/.bash_profile file, I suggest you delete that line you added. [22:37] ActionParsnip: yah I know ubuntu never upgrades right, but regardless I'm looking for help with it . [22:37] I successfully installed 10.10 on a dell latitude e6410 laptop, but wifi is not recognized. How do I resolve this? [22:37] ActionParsnip: you better not say "just use windows" [22:37] Dmole: i never say that [22:38] Dmole: its ridiculaous and not constructive in any way [22:38] ActionParsnip, how can i fix it? [22:38] hi [22:39] Dmole: if ti is possible back up your files and do upgrade with alternate cd that way you can do clean install if something goes wrong [22:39] my wifi is Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [22:39] Perhaps it is blacklisted? [22:39] Dmole: Lucid has postgres 8.4, do you know what package is asking for 8.3? [22:39] ActionParsnip: like our conversation thus far (no offense) but someone somewhere in ubuntu desided to upgrade the app without upgrading the data, I'm looking for a solution, you don't seem to know of one~ [22:39] I successfully installed 10.10 on a dell latitude e6410 laptop, but wifi is not recognized. How do I resolve this? [22:40] Flannel: I upgraded from 8.04... [22:40] Anyone good with windows batch scripting? [22:40] Relevant: I don't see what that has to do with #ubuntu [22:40] Relevant: /topic ? === dave is now known as Guest61963 [22:41] Dmole: Aye, using do-release-upgrade? [22:41] Flannel: the upgrade instructions say to just install both versions but I see no way of doing that. [22:41] Anyone want to talk about Unity? [22:41] go8765: not sure but keep that alsa-info link, its handy [22:41] tsmann: if it's about support, just ask! :) For other discussions, #ubuntu-offtopic please [22:41] Dmole: Which upgrade instructions? [22:41] Relevant: this is ubuntu support, try in ##windows [22:41] Flannel: yes (I was asking for trouble apparently ) [22:41] Dmole: could log a bug [22:42] Thank you. I use IRC very little. [22:42] ActionParsnip: what? [22:42] Dmole: Ignore him. Which upgrade instructions? [22:42] ActionParsnip, i cand understand the last message.... [22:42] Dmole: the upgrade caused the issue and should be smooth, you should report the bug [22:43] Flannel: the do-release-upgrade instructions are incomplete/incompletable [22:43] so is there a good driver for intel hd based comps [22:43] go8765: keep this link: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=1c2cf2f6d209ad1eec406a6ede784688aeace308 [22:43] Dmole: Where are you seeing these instructions? Did the utility itself prompt you? [22:43] Flannel: yes [22:43] seanforness: yes, intel make open source drivers for intel chips which work well [22:44] Are a lot of questions asked during the upgrade process from 10.10 to 11.04? I was wondering if I could leave while the upgrade is running, so it would be nice if all the questions are asked near the beginning or the end [22:44] Flannel: "If you want to upgrade the 8.3/main cluster, you need to remove the already existing 8.4 cluster (pg_dropcluster --stop 8.4 main, see manpage for details)." is not doable [22:44] Dmole: Ah, interesting. Especially considering there's no mention of it anywhere else. What does it say to do? Thanks [22:45] How do I change the owner and group on a folder when it has a padlock? [22:45] Dmole: why is it not doable? That file is in postgresql-common, which does exist. (What error, etc)? [22:45] !permissions > MarkSS [22:45] MarkSS, please see my private message [22:45] Im looking forsomeone who knows about v/mgetty or an alternative for use as a voicemail / fax [22:46] hi, I'm on lucid and wanted to upgrade directly to natty, but update-manager will go for maverick instead. any hint? [22:46] Flannel: it's a really shot message saying to use pg_upgradecluster but I can't do that because it needs the old version to do so (I think) [22:46] MarcoPau: you can't skip maverick [22:46] Dmole: Actually, looking at the requirements of 8.3 (in Hardy repos), it appears that you should be able to add those repos and install 8.3 just fine. [22:47] so i got some drivers but how do i install them? [22:47] Dmole: You'll need to install postgresql-client-8.3 and postgresql-8.3, both are available from the hardy-security repo [22:47] ActionParsnip, and what i nedd to do with this link? [22:47] Dmole: But looking at dependencies only, it appears that's workable. [22:47] Flannel: cool, but would it install beside the 8.4 cleanly or overwrite shared files? [22:48] go8765: when you ask later, you can give that link as that is your sound information [22:49] Dmole: Looks like all the files are in an 8.3 folder (presumably the 8.4 files would be in an 8.4 folder). I wouldn't run with it that way long term, but it should work long enough for you to grab your DBs [22:49] Dmole: You'll get an error message if it's trying to overwrite anything, by the way. [22:49] ActionParsnip, and what? [22:50] Flannel: thanks I'll look about for the right redo to add... [22:50] go8765: that's it. I can't help but using that link in future will help others to help you..... [22:50] ok... something for devs... if one closes a program and cannot open it afterwards something is wrong.... [22:50] Flannel: *repo [22:50] go8765: or you can use the model to maybe find guides [22:50] Dmole: just copy a line from your current sources.list, and make it hardy-security [22:51] Flannel: universe, or... [22:51] Dmole: Oh sorry, main. [22:51] Flannel: thanks testing.... [22:52] connecting to ubtunu 11 from remote terminal is flakey now. Only initial desktop shown nothing more. how can I resolve this? [22:52] Actually, I can manipulate the desktop if I'm sitting right next to the remote machines monitor. [22:53] Flannel: "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted" [22:53] but remote desktop viewer desktop is basically frozen. [22:53] can anyone help me with my sound problem? sound hangs: sometimes after 5 minutes sometimes after an hour and there is no dmesg message [22:53] jrib: didn't know that, thanks [22:53] any way to disable all the flashy desktop effects? [22:53] Dmole: You don't need the restricted, but sure. [22:53] ActionParsnip, ok. thanks for help) === claudio_ is now known as botinha [22:54] #ubuntu-es [22:56] i still cant figure out how to install this graphics driver [22:57] seanforness: which one?

[23:21] can't chroot my partition [23:21] ok... ill save the trace, and see if the problem exists with older ubuntu cveriosn or the like [23:22] sudo chroot /media/e5b1c3c8-46a3-41f5-877d-69fbd9b9ee50/ /bin/bash [23:22] chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error [23:22] good night [23:22] Does anyone here use mythbuntu on any of their comps? [23:22] someone knows how can i fix it? [23:22] is there any way i can check power usage on my laptop [23:22] yes [23:22] like how many watts its using? [23:22] uhh, yeah? [23:22] okay, going for reboot to check settings without Xinerama [23:23] you go to system and go to power settings [23:23] robo: use geod [23:23] Coty91, so I have to switch? [23:23] no [23:23] open terminal [23:23] power management? [23:23] ya [23:24] Coty91, then what? [23:24] type: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:geod/ppa-geod [23:24] !metamode [23:24] and install geod [23:24] I switched to xubuntu so I don't exactly remember but that should be it [23:24] doesn't tell me how many watts its using [23:24] somebody? [23:24] !meta mode [23:24] it hould... [23:24] should* [23:25] 3 tabs, AC power, Battery power, general [23:25] okay ty Coty91... but I don't want to have to install anything extra. I'd rather keep what i have and expand it to 10 desktops like i used to have [23:25] gskellig, why do yo care. Is the Power management system messing up? [23:25] trying to get the best battery life out of my laptop [23:25] I would like to see how different settings change the power consumption [23:26] specefically i'm trying to turn off the nvidia graphics card on my laptop [23:26] well knowin ur watts isn't doin worth shit for ya [23:26] you just have a # [23:26] I have a switchable hybrid graphics card. and BOTH are currently enabled, but i'm only using the intel one [23:26] not access to the battery itself [23:26] the nvidia one is turned on and taking power [23:26] gskellig, Well GPU costs. so does back lighting [23:26] robo: it's a small program [23:26] robo: takes almost no space [23:26] i have two gpu's and i'm only using one [23:26] but both are turned on [23:27] volume, light, cpu, graphics, usb, etc... [23:27] how can I tell which cards SAMBA is bound to? [23:27] i know [23:27] Coty91, I just don't like enabling 3rd party repos unless I really know what I'm doing. Since I don't I'd rather not :-) [23:27] It would just be very useful for me in more ways than one to see how much electricity my laptop is using [23:27] does anybody know how to do that? [23:27] boy am I glad I have the laptop I do. I can turn all that off >:P [23:28] LAcan: you mean your mount or your share? [23:28] your laptop has two graphics cards? [23:28] gskellig: gnome-power-statistics maybe? [23:28] Coty91, I found the answer. Install ccsm [23:28] quarksalber, no which interface the server is listening on/bound to... [23:28] no, my comp has the option panel to turn stuff off [23:28] LAcan: check your smb.conf, there is a setting for it [23:28] thanks trism [23:28] usb's, w/e [23:28] now [23:28] does anybody have experience with hybrid graphics cards? [23:28] Uh.. I changed Apache port in ports.conf and restarted.. now when I try to access it (correct ip and port), it says The requested url / could not be found. (or anything else) - wtf? [23:29] specefically nvidia [23:29] quarksalber, where is smb.conf located? [23:29] LAcan: /etc/samba/smb.conf on my debian [23:29] I kinda do, hybrids, not too terrible much though [23:30] LAcan: there is a section called #### networking #### with a line like this: ; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0 [23:30] gskellig, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/micromiser-power-saving-software-for-ubuntu-laptopsdesktopsservers.html [23:30] How can someone find out if they have bluetooth in their computer? I've read through all my computer manuals online and it doesn't say anything. Also google wasn't helpful either. [23:31] thanks Younder [23:31] my specific problem is here though: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1366605&page=7 [23:31] or use powertop [23:31] HairyJohnson: in gnome, a bluetooth applet will appear in your notification area [23:32] How can I change the number of virtual terminals created? [23:32] even if nothing's connected? [23:32] yeah i've got powertop [23:32] LAcan: also granola [23:32] HairyJohnson: yes [23:33] quarksalbe: Ok then looks like I don't have it. Thank you. [23:33] quarksalber, ya i see it, should it include my subnet ips? ie. 192.168.1.0/24? [23:33] I'll have to get a bluetooth dongle. [23:33] Hello [23:33] quarksalber, can i tell it to bind to a network interface instead of an iprange? [23:34] LAcan: if you want. you can use both information to restrict/allow access [23:34] quarksalber, id rather it just listened on one NIC [23:35] wlan1 [23:35] just increased windows partition in gparted and now doesnt boot...missing bootmgr...what do i do? [23:36] LAcan: if the command "ifconfig wlan1" gives you a result, you can probably use it, yes [23:36] kingofswords: update-grub [23:36] On lucid after some updates I get this when trying to auto-tab-complete in gnome-terminal: "bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (en_US)" [23:36] How to fix it? === Jeremy is now known as Guest27762 [23:37] quarksalber, sorry i mean i cant boot into windows.... [23:37] ubuntu is fine [23:37] kingofswords: this should fix it, too [23:37] ahh..is it sudo update-grub?
