| robo | hi: is there a way to get unity to save which programs start on boot and which virtual desktop they go in? Like a session save | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | go8765: look in gconf-editor | 00:02 |
| go8765 | ActionParsnip, i look already- nothing find) | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | go8765: that error is talking about gconf | 00:03 |
| escott | robo, for gnome2 its gnome-session-save for unity i'm not sure | 00:03 |
| go8765 | ActionParsnip, i see, but how to fix it? | 00:03 |
| escott | robo, gnome-session-save will save the current session. you can add a single thing with gnome-session-properties | 00:04 |
| robo | escott, even for unity? | 00:04 |
| robo | i'm using unity as of an hour ago. And I must admit, I'm not liking it | 00:04 |
| cppguy | guys can you tell the command to disable wireless http://paste.ubuntu.com/604988/ | 00:04 |
| escott | robo, i'm not sure how unity's session handling works. i would recommend giving unity a few days it grows on you. you can always go back to !classic | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | go8765: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-alsamixer/+bug/106903 | 00:05 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 106903 in Gnome Alsamixer "error message when gnome-alsamixer is launching" [Medium,In progress] | 00:05 |

| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. | 00:05 |
| robo | oh, sweet. Ty escott | 00:05 |
| robo | i tried gnome-session-save. Let me reboot and see | 00:06 |

| soreau | Alright people. I need help with this. On lucid 10.04, locales are BROKEN. I tried all suggestions I could find googling and none have worked.

| fr00g | Can anybody help me, my Compiz Expo Plugin shows four desktops that I can use, but the Cube only shows two | 00:09 |
| kingofswords | fixboot fixmbr and then exit | 00:09 |
| darkorical | Im not sure but I dont think apt-get install installed vgetty as well ... | 00:09 |
| soreau | fr00g: You have two vertical and two horizontal set. Cube only shows one horizontal set at a time | 00:10 |
| fr00g | Oh, okay, thnk you! | 00:10 |
| fr00g | *thank | 00:10 |
| soreau | Now someone help me fix this god damn locale before I strangle someone | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | aguitel: 15 USD for youur photos sounds pretty decent | 00:10 |
| quarksalber | kingofswords: then grub will be removed. you will have to install grub again from a live system | 00:10 |
| aguitel | ActionParsnip, i make it | 00:10 |
| kingofswords | ok | 00:10 |
| kingofswords | but thats easy | 00:11 |
| quarksalber | then go for it ;) | 00:11 |
| triton_ | \server irc.battlefoundry.net | 00:11 |
| aguitel | ActionParsnip, for safety i want to make the download too | 00:11 |
| mikefmail10 | Hello | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | aguitel: looks like you'll have yo access each file and save it to your system | 00:12 |
| aguitel | ActionParsnip, bu twith wget to download the entire site? | 00:12 |
| escott | aguitel, if you want to use wget you probably want to capture the html cookies. firebug may be helpfult ehre | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | aguitel: not sure, I've only used wget for single files, maybe others can advise. Or read: man wget and see if it helps | 00:13 |
| r0fs3ck5 | Is there an efficient way of playing flash in firefox without compromising privacy through flash cookies in ubuntu? | 00:13 |
| mikefmail10 | Anyone got any suggestions for a programme to directly record from my sound card. I have tried all the obvious ones but with no joy. | 00:13 |
| escott | mikefmail10, arecord? | 00:14 |
| mikefmail10 | Thanks - I'll give it a try. | 00:14 |

| ActionParsnip | r0fs3ck5: what information does flash collect exactly? | 00:14 |
| introuble | if i setup my own sms gateway. i will be independant to send sms. i wil not incure any cost of gsm sms sending by networks. i mean i dont have to purchace gsm simcard of a network and then pay its charges to send sms to people ? | 00:15 |
| aguitel | escott, what is firebug doing ? | 00:15 |
| r0fs3ck5 | ActionParsnip: pretty much everything in my home folders as far as i can see | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | introuble: if you send sms on networks you will be charged | 00:16 |
| escott | aguitel, its a firefox extension which will allow you to inspect the page and see the traffic back and forth to the server (including any cookies and headers) | 00:16 |
| introuble | ActionParsnip who will charge me?? | 00:16 |
| go8765 | can anybody help me with my sound? | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | r0fs3ck5: when? If you watch a video on youtube why does your home data come into it | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | introuble: the network you are sending the message to for using their network | 00:16 |
| introuble | ActionParsnip if i dont use any other networks sms gateway. who will charge me\ | 00:16 |
| quarksalber | introuble: gsm networks are proprietary and closed. it's not like tcp/ip of the internet. you need to be registered as an telecommunication agency to send sms to others. | 00:17 |
| aguitel | escott, and how to download my files? | 00:17 |
| crash1hd | ok so I normally connet to my ubuntu server with putty via ssh and a ppk file now I am on another ubuntu installation and would like to connect to ssh ubuntu server | 00:17 |
| r0fs3ck5 | ActionParsnip: No, but if you look in your /home/user/.macromedia.../#SharedObjects, it lists your home, as welll as sudo | 00:17 |
| escott | aguitel, look at quarksalber's example of a wget script | 00:17 |
| crash1hd | I know I can use openssh and I can install putty on ubuntu | 00:17 |
| crash1hd | what I am trying to figure out if I need the public or private key | 00:18 |
| r0fs3ck5 | ActionParsnip: Or maybe I just got pwned by a bad site. | 00:18 |
| introuble | quarksalber ic | 00:18 |
| quarksalber | aguitel: or wget --recursive --level 3 -np -p --cookie="path/of/cookie" --accept=jpg,png http://server.com/dir/ | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | r0fs3ck5: let me investigate | 00:18 |
| introuble | quarksalber so theres no point in making an sms gatway | 00:18 |
| introuble | quarksalber so theres no point in making an sms gatway? | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | r0fs3ck5: I just listed every file and folder in ~/.macromedia and found no occurrence of the word 'sudo' | 00:19 |
| aguitel | quarksalber, this line is usefull to download in the site:myphotoalbum.com ? | 00:19 |
| introuble | quarksalber so theres no point in making an sms gatway? | 00:19 |
| steiner | what do i do about an unable to connect to cifs host when i set up a netwrok printer? i had it working before in 10.10 | 00:20 |
| quarksalber | introuble: exactly. there are email-to-sms gateways where you can send sms triggered by an email, but you will be charged. you could hack iphones and send sms from other people phones. but that's criminal | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | steiner: if you run: smbtree do you see the share? | 00:20 |
| introuble | quarksalber hm. so theres no other way? | 00:20 |
| roadfish | The Natty Live CD works fine and I get to the KDE desktop. But after the Natty install, I get the first two KDE start up icons (hard drive, tools) but then get bumped back to the log in window. I collected the Xorg.0.log files for Live and Installed versions. | 00:21 |
| escott | aguitel, thats just a example of how to use wget to download something with the cookies. first you need to figure out what your browser does when it requests a picture for download. it will submit some information including the cookies, and maybe the desired size of the image to a url, you want to capture that with firebug and figure out the parts needed. then save the cookies to a file and use wget to download the image | 00:21 |
| roadfish | Here are the logs and the diff of the logs: | 00:21 |
| roadfish | http://paste.ubuntu.com/604990/ | 00:21 |
| roadfish | http://paste.ubuntu.com/604993/ | 00:21 |
| roadfish | http://paste.ubuntu.com/604994/ | 00:21 |
| FloodBot1 | roadfish: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:21 |
| Pberg45x170x62A | su jetzt noch coolen SEX mit schlankem mann | 00:22 |
| steiner | ActionParsnip: it shows the windows computer yes | 00:22 |
| quarksalber | become a telecommunication agency, set up your own gsm station. harald welte's site showes that this is a interesting task, not that easy but it's real hacking! | 00:22 |
| roadfish | that third 604994 paste is a diff of 604990 and 604993 ... but with the "[ 253.121]" timing information removed. | 00:22 |
| Rob_uk | any one know how to in php collects a users NTLOGON | 00:22 |
| hoey | uh | 00:22 |
| hoey | php collect logon? | 00:23 |
| hoey | good luck | 00:23 |
| hoey | probably keys to machine id's | 00:23 |
| hoey | ubuntu is overrated btw | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | steiner: then the share is sound, what happens when you try and connect to the printer. I also suggest you add your windows username and password to the connection, it should help | 00:23 |
| Rob_uk | @hoey i know you can do it VB but this needs to be done in php , | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | hoey: don't use it then | 00:23 |
| hoey | well | 00:24 |
| init2winit | wow | 00:24 |
| hoey | ubuntu is based on linux, so | 00:24 |
| hoey | i'd scan for a /usr/user | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | hoey: what's your point? | 00:24 |
| LAcan | How do I mount a SAMNA volume to somewhere in the filesystem? | 00:24 |
| roadfish | So why would a Live CD install work ... but then the Installed version fail? | 00:24 |
| LAcan | How do I mount a SAMBA volume to somewhere in the filesystem? | 00:24 |
| hoey | php scan harddrive /usr/var/log | 00:24 |
| hoey | like that | 00:24 |
| steiner | ActionParsnip: the printer is connected, but when i try to print a test page, i get the cifs error. the printing worked before through the same process | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: use nautilus | 00:24 |
| hoey | ubuntu networking is very iffy | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | hoey: don't use it then if its so iffy | 00:25 |
| LAcan | ActionParsnip, ... I am using nautilus? | 00:25 |
| jtoft | Is there a way to do something like; cp -r /path/to/folders/{first second third} . ? | 00:25 |
| hoey | i only enjoy the conversation ;actionparsnip | 00:25 |
| Gabriel01 | Hi guys, I'm back. | 00:25 |
| jtoft | where each item in the brackets is called individually? | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: yes its the default file browser in ubuntu | 00:25 |
| cyberfrog | best remote control software for using over a lan? | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | hoey: well you are in an Ubuntu support channel and haven't asked a question and bad mouthed the OS. You aren't doing very well so far.... | 00:26 |
| cyberfrog | windows -> linux | 00:26 |
| quarksalber | jtoft: yes: cp -r /path/of/source/* /destination/path | 00:26 |
| escott | jtoft, maybe bash extended globbing | 00:26 |
| jtoft | not with a wildcard quarksalber | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | cyberfrog: there is no single best software for any one situation | 00:26 |
| jtoft | escott: mmm have an example? | 00:26 |
| hoey | ActionParsnip: it seems based on a windows tour guide, any rebuttal? | 00:26 |
| cyberfrog | jeuss, whats a good remote control software for using over a lan? | 00:26 |
| quarksalber | jtoft: which pattern do you want to match? | 00:26 |
| LAcan | ActionParsnip, i dont think i follow... i have a share on my windows box, which i can mount as a network volume but I want it mounted as a folder...? | 00:26 |
| jtoft | not going for a pattern. looking for explicits | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | hoey: how does a windows tourguide relate to ubuntu? | 00:27 |
| kingofswords | errr how do i mount my ubuntu | 00:27 |
| Gabriel01 | I guess Lubuntu is not for me. I need something 64 bit to run my simulator with more than 4 gigs memory and all 3 processor cores, but be extremely light weight so I can easily multi tack with CPU inensive applications. | 00:27 |
| LAcan | ActionParsnip, that option eludes me in nautilus | 00:27 |
| quarksalber | jtoft: the cd into that path | 00:27 |
| hoey | ActionParsnip: the way ubuntu is packed to screen lay... | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: it is always mounted as a folder, thats how mounts work | 00:27 |
| Benkinooby | kde? | 00:27 |
| Benkinooby | ubottu, kde? | 00:27 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:27 |
| escott | jtoft, you would have to enable it with shopt -s extglob and then i think it is @(pattern1|pattern2|pattern3) according to http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/bash-extended-globbing | 00:27 |
| quarksalber | jtoft: *then* cd into that path | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | hoey: you can make it work as you want | 00:27 |
| LAcan | ActionParsnip, I want to mount the share to my home directory...? | 00:27 |
| jtoft | awesome, thanks escott | 00:27 |
| Benkinooby | what version of kde will be installed if i install from "standard" source on lucid 10.04? | 00:28 |
| Gabriel01 | Xubuntu doesn't seem to make my machine any faster, it seems slower infact | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: ahh, then you will need to add it in /etc/fstab | 00:28 |
| Benkinooby | i only see that it is 4... but nothing more | 00:28 |
| LAcan | ActionParsnip, got a gui for that? lol | 00:28 |
| escott | kingofswords, mount it with what? live cd? | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !info kde-core lucid | 00:28 |
| ubottu | Package kde-core does not exist in lucid | 00:28 |
| kingofswords | my ubuntu hdd isnt mounting even thou im in it | 00:28 |
| littlebearz | http://www.xxw.ca/texting-for-free/ | 00:28 |
| Gabriel01 | Iinfo lubuntu | 00:29 |
| Gabriel01 | !info lubuntu | 00:29 |
| ubottu | Package lubuntu does not exist in natty | 00:29 |
| Benkinooby | !info kde | 00:29 |
| ubottu | Package kde does not exist in natty | 00:29 |
| kingofswords | escott, no is it automaticly moutned | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | LAcan: sorry, but the file is easy to work.Find examples online easily.I suggest you simply mount the share as a folder in home and throw your user data into it | 00:29 |
| escott | kingofswords, that doesn't make sense... what does mount say | 00:29 |
| kingofswords | when i run mount | tail -1 i dont get anything | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | !info lubuntu-desktop | Gabriel01 | 00:29 |
| ubottu | Gabriel01: lubuntu-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.24 (natty), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc ia64 sparc lpia armel) | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Gabriel01: or you can install lxde and use that, you won't duplicate functionality then | 00:30 |
| roadfish | any idea why logging into KDE would fail? I log in and get those start up icons ... but then it fails and I get the KDE log in again. | 00:30 |
| quarksalber | kingofswords: just run mount | 00:30 |
| kingofswords | ok | 00:31 |
| Gabriel01 | So maybe if I install Ubuntu 64 and then lubnutu-desktop the x-server will work the same as ubuntu, but run LXDE? and use less resources? | 00:32 |
| Gabriel01 | Genius! | 00:32 |
| aguitel | ActionParsnip, you order de dvd backup ? | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Gabriel01: yes lxde is lighter. Just install lxde and log off, then log in to the lxde session, no need to reinstall | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | aguitel: what do you mean? | 00:33 |
| aguitel | ActionParsnip, from myphotoalbum.com site | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | aguitel: I don't use the service | 00:33 |
| aguitel | ActionParsnip, a ok | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | aguitel: ohhhh you mean THE dvd backup | 00:34 |
| aguitel | ActionParsnip, yes | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | aguitel: please use NORMAL words instead of stuff like that, its less confusing and youo will sound intelligent | 00:34 |
| aguitel | ActionParsnip, sorry for my english | 00:35 |
| Gabriel01 | okay, thanks, trying it | 00:35 |
| init2winit | k | 00:36 |
| Gabriel01 | Humm, it won't let me install the settings daemon without uninstalling lubuntu | 00:36 |
| YellowGTO|OG | Is there other virtual machines to run Ubuntu on windows other then VMWare? | 00:39 |
| brontosaurusrex | virtualbox | 00:39 |
| Kalki | VirtualBox? | 00:39 |
| CyborgSmurf | Njam editor dosen't work - | 00:39 |
| kingofswords | my ubuntu partition isnt mounting or showing up as mounted | 00:39 |
| r0fs3ck5 | brontosaurusrex: xen also | 00:39 |
| YellowGTO|OG | Thank you brontosaurusrex and Kalki | 00:39 |
| Kalki | yw | 00:39 |

| abountu | how can I connect from my desktop to my laptop (both running ubuntu, and both on my home lan, pc connected through LAN cable and laptop through wifi), | 00:42 |
| abountu | ? | 00:42 |
| mickey | yea, i think i got that part down, actually i dont know the specifics of that server to connect | 00:42 |
| mickey | if that makes sense | 00:42 |
| qin | abountu: ssh, telnet, www, nc, ftp, ... | 00:43 |
| quant | mickey, you have to find out the specifics | 00:43 |
| ubuntuguy | Sottware update manager is still asking me to install updates for openoffice, how can I stop this | 00:43 |
| quant | ubuntuguy, why don't you install them? | 00:43 |
| init2winit2 | ? | 00:43 |
| ubuntuguy | Because I'm using unity, I have libreoffice | 00:43 |
| abountu | @qin, I want to connect in the sense of opening a file manager session that shows the laptop from the desktop and be able to browse files and copy things across | 00:44 |
| quant | ubuntuguy, did you do a clean install or a distro upgrade? | 00:44 |
| ubuntuguy | upgrade | 00:44 |
| CyborgSmurf | what is the difference between LibreOffice and OpenOffice? | 00:44 |
| skoubri | can anybody help with an installation problem? | 00:44 |
| Daekdroom | LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice. | 00:44 |
| nessuno | why does this irc have no ops | 00:44 |
| qin | abountu: sshfs (simplest way) | 00:44 |
| Daekdroom | nessuno, it does, they're undercover. | 00:44 |
| FishFace | mickey: http://wiki.mibbit.com/index.php/Server | 00:44 |
| quant | ubuntuguy, I think that's the cause of your problem and I'm not sure how to fix it, your packages probably got "messed up" | 00:44 |
| ubuntuguy | I knew that was the problem, I wanted to know how to fix it | 00:45 |
| Flannel | nessuno: It does. But freenode policy encourages operators to not sit around opped to help catalyzing. | 00:45 |
| nessuno | Daekdroom ty, im just lurkin for a bit, till i get ubuntu raeg | 00:45 |
| quant | ubuntuguy, try removing open office and libre office and perhaps using purge and then reinstall | 00:45 |
| CyborgSmurf | <Daekdroom> You mean like a slim version | 00:45 |
| nessuno | ty Flannel im new here | 00:45 |
| ubuntuguy | Openoffice is no longer on my computer | 00:45 |
| quant | ubuntuguy, some metapackage still probably is | 00:45 |
| ubuntuguy | Where can I find the metapackage? | 00:46 |
| quant | ubuntuguy, I could be wrong | 00:46 |
| mickey | FishFace, so i just type that in the server box? | 00:46 |
| Daekdroom | Cyber_Akuma, nope. | 00:46 |
| Daekdroom | Oops | 00:46 |
| FishFace | mickey: Yep | 00:46 |
| Daekdroom | I mean CyborgSmurf | 00:46 |
| mickey | cool, ur the man | 00:46 |
| Daekdroom | A fork as in, some developers decided to create their own project, and used the (back then) latest OpenOffice version as a base. | 00:46 |
| Andre_Ree | I need some help fixing grub | 00:47 |
| Andre_Ree | I've just installed win7 which destroyed my mbr | 00:47 |
| quant | ubuntuguy, try playing with apt-cache search openoffice etc. | 00:48 |
| Andre_Ree | now I tried the root-directory-method but I just got a grub command line instead of a booting linux | 00:48 |
| S4RY | Andre_Ree: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 00:48 |
| ubuntuguy | Alright, thanks | 00:48 |
| CyborgSmurf | I have trouble starting Oblivion on Ubuntu 10.04. It works perfectly until I accept the "New game" then the window turns dark, like waiting or something | 00:48 |
| Andre_Ree | S4RY: that's the point, it does not work | 00:48 |
| quant | ubuntuguy, hope it helps, np... try it | 00:49 |
| Andre_Ree | now I tried the chroot method but it can't find "grub-install" | 00:49 |
| ubuntuguy | In a moment, | 00:49 |
| S4RY | can someone kindly test something for me ! try to post-replay in any forums. | 00:49 |
| pigiman1 | hey, I`m using Ubuntu server and I`m trying to install Jira. I need to open new port (port 80 is busy;P) anyone can help me ? | 00:50 |
| skoubri | im trying a clean installation of ubuntu 10.4 lucid on my laptop and it cant install the base system. it cant be the cd, i burned it twice. | 00:50 |
| S4RY | Andre_Ree: see if grub is installed ;/ grub-install -v | 00:51 |
| FishFace | Andre_Ree: This has worked for me a few times - http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/grub | 00:51 |
| === lolwtf is now known as anobody | ||
| FishFace | Andre_Ree: You will need to have your boot cd handy though. | 00:51 |
| cyberfrog | how do you manually launch a terminal from the cli? i can't seem to find the binary | 00:52 |
| Andre_Ree | FishFace: I'm already running the live system | 00:52 |
| S4RY | Andre_Ree: i whould recover grub from Live-CD. | 00:52 |
| Andre_Ree | FishFace: well, I got another error message trying out the root-directory method again | 00:52 |
| FishFace | Andre_Ree: Good luck :) | 00:53 |

| CyborgSmurf | <quant> thank you for your help :) | 00:55 |
| metallico | found it: /etc/grub/grub.cfg | 00:55 |
| quant | CyborgSmurf, np | 00:55 |
| Jordan_U | metallico: What are you trying to do? | 00:56 |
| mickey | wow, that took me longer than it should have... thanks again FishFace | 00:56 |
| metallico | nothing much (just adding some boot options) | 00:56 |
| Corren | is 10.04LTS supposed to have ruby preinstalled? | 00:57 |
| Jordan_U | metallico: What type of boot options? You don't edit the grub.cfg directly unless you want to get rid of automatic grub.cfg generation entirely. | 01:02 |
| Flannel | Corren: It does not have ruby pre-installed, no. | 01:03 |
| S4RY | Andre_Ree: any progress ! | 01:04 |
| steiner | what do i do if i get print share not accesible | 01:05 |
| pigiman1 | Hey, how can I open port 8090 on Ubuntu Server? | 01:05 |
| Corren | ty flannel | 01:05 |
| Corren | just apt-get install ruby? | 01:05 |
| Flannel | pigiman1: You don't need to "open" that port, just have whatever you need to listen litsen on that port. | 01:06 |
| Flannel | Corren: yep | 01:06 |
| pigiman1 | but when I`m trying to run NMAP on it \ access via browser (it runs tomcat), from another computer I get "Closed" | 01:06 |
| Flannel | pigiman1: Is tomcat supposed to be listening on 8090? | 01:07 |
| pigiman1 | it suppose to be on 8080 (its Jira+Tomcat) but I changed it | 01:07 |
| metallico | Jordan_U, so how do you do it then? | 01:08 |
| Flannel | pigiman1: If you asked me, I'd say it sounds like it's not successfully listening on that port. | 01:08 |
| metallico | i just want to add a pramater after the "linux <path/to/kernel>" bit | 01:08 |
| pigiman1 | why, if you have your own server running on 8080, Jira advice to change their settings by editing server.xml and replace port 8080 to another unkown port | 01:09 |
| Jordan_U | metallico: Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub and run "sudo update-grub". | 01:09 |
| swampy | Hi, I've used libvirt to passthrough USB keyboard to a guest, now that the guest is shutdown is there a way can use the keyboard as an input device on the host again without having to unplug it? | 01:10 |
| abountu | how can I access my laptop from my desktop, both running ubuntu, and both connected to my lan? | 01:10 |
| Soupermanito | why are ubuntu forums so god damn slow | 01:10 |
| pigiman1 | suggestions? | 01:11 |
| OerHeks | Soupermanito, pay more | 01:11 |
| swampy | abountu, you could run a ssh or telnet server on your laptop if you only need a command line, most probaly some kind of remote desktop is also possible | 01:11 |
| metallico | Jordan_U, at the moment i have "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash". do i just add the option i want after "splah"? | 01:12 |
| abountu | swampy: how can I get it to respond to pings? | 01:12 |
| Jordan_U | metallico: Yes (with a space between it and splash). | 01:12 |
| Soupermanito | yeah rite, but then all the other sites work well bro, just ubuntu forums lag as hell | 01:12 |
| kingofswords | windows not showing in boot menu after resize in gparted | 01:13 |
| metallico | Jordan_U, ok, thank you very much | 01:13 |
| kingofswords | do i adjust mbr ? | 01:13 |
| Jordan_U | metallico: You're welcome. | 01:13 |
| Jordan_U | kingofswords: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"? | 01:13 |
| swampy | abountu, do you have ip addresses configured on both computers? | 01:14 |
| abountu | swampy:if I go to Places->Network, I can see both my desktop and my laptop hostnames, but if I do ping <laptop> it says it can't find it | 01:14 |

| quant | !question | xaemonic | 01:14 |
| ubottu | xaemonic: 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. :-) | 01:14 |
| kingofswords | Jordan_U, there is no output | 01:14 |
| radhruin | Having an issue with setting my display resolution. I am tyring to get my headless box display 1920x1080 resolution when connecting with VNC. If I edit xorg's screen section and add a mode of, say, 1360x768, it works. If I set 1920x1080, it gets set to 1600x1200. Any ideas? | 01:14 |
| Guest70833 | has /etc/X11/xorg.conf been removed from 10.10? Can I create a replacement for some override settings? | 01:14 |
| Jordan_U | kingofswords: Did you delete any partitions? When os-prober can't find Windows it usually means that Windows isn't actually in a bootable state... | 01:15 |
| pigiman1 | ok I think I found the problem : tcp6 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN , it listens with tcp6 | 01:15 |
| pigiman1 | how can I change it to tcp | 01:15 |
| xaemonic | hey guys adobeair wouldent install dofus because gtk-warning **: unable to locate theme engine in module_path : "ubuntulooks" | 01:16 |
| Flannel | pigiman1: You don't need to go through a process of opening, correct. Just have your program listen on that port. | 01:16 |
| kingofswords | Jordan_U, yes deleted 2gb partition which had windows setup files on fat16 as i installed from usb | 01:16 |
| pigiman1 | ok so now it listens on 8080 but tcp6 | 01:16 |
| swampy | abountu, have you tryed specifying the ip to ping manually, and not by computer name= | 01:16 |
| Jordan_U | kingofswords: You probably deleted the System partition accidentily. | 01:17 |
| kingofswords | i thought it was usless as it was only setup files and not the actual installtion of windwos xp | 01:17 |
| cybrhuman | Guest70833: I think that xorg.conf is not needed by default, but nvidia (at least ) will read it if it is there and use its' settings, | 01:17 |
| pigiman1 | Flannel, now it listens on 8080 but tcp6 which is probably not good because when I`m trying to connect Jira from remote computer I just get "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect" | 01:17 |
| kingofswords | whats that Jordan_U ? | 01:17 |
| Jordan_U | kingofswords: Hmm, Windows XP didn't use a System partition IIRC. | 01:17 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | kingofswords | 01:17 |
| ubottu | kingofswords: To diagnose boot issues, you can use the Boot Info Script available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ Run the script with !sudo and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 01:17 |
| Flannel | pigiman1: Right, and that's a configuration issue for tomcat. It's not properly configured to listen or something | 01:18 |
| Guest70833 | cybrhuman, what about restricted modules? where can I disable nv? | 01:18 |
| kingofswords | ok thx...how do i run scripts..im newbie | 01:18 |
| abountu | swampy: it works if I ping the ip rather than the name | 01:18 |
| forevertheuni | hi. I want to setup a proxy(server) to be able to have UDP traffic from it. what's the best one to do it? (only for me nothing big) | 01:18 |
| abountu | but how can I get it to recognise the name (given that the ip is dynamically allocated and is likely to change) | 01:19 |
| cybrhuman | Guest70833: to enable restricted modules from unity, try searching for hardware or drivers in the quickstart, | 01:19 |
| alien__ | im booting ppc ubuntu 10.4 lts and is not detecting the disk in installation manager,,how can i manually mount it ? | 01:19 |
| swampy | abountu, I think you have to make sure your dns resolver is updated with your dynammically allocated ip addresses then | 01:20 |
| jmze | I'm trying to set up an old laptop as a fileserver with X/fluxbox so 2-3 users on my LAN can connect and use usenet..

| solid_liq | Kalki, the chrome browser itself | 01:23 |
| jmze | kingofswords, no. it has to be marked executable | 01:23 |
| Kalki | kingofswords, make sure it's executable and do ./filename | 01:23 |
| jmze | kingofswords, so do chmod +x scriptname and then ./scriptname | 01:23 |
| kingofswords | ok | 01:23 |

| quant | solid_liq, chromium? it's free software and works great on my wife's machine | 01:23 |
| Kalki | solid_liq, ooh, sorry, missed that. Hmm, check their task manager | 01:24 |
| solid_liq | Kalki, in the task manager from chrome, that appears when you hit shift-Esc, the very top process (browser) is the one taking all the ram and cpu | 01:24 |

| Jordan_U | ugarit: You need to disable journaling on the filesystem within OSX first. | 01:29 |
| BeWilled | How do I store a bash function so I can easily access it from the terminal? Lets say I want to store a function that runs the ls -l command and I want to save it with the name showPrivilages, so I can later write $showPrivilages myfile instead of ls -l myFile | 01:30 |
| ugarit | Jordan_U then it will automatically be rw when mounted in linux? | 01:30 |
| Kalki | BeWilled, alias | 01:30 |
| Jordan_U | ugarit: I believe so, yes. It certainly cannot be mounted rw without first disabling journaling. | 01:30 |

| rage | Drat. Thanks paul, centHOGG | 01:36 |
| bluenail | paul not unless you want to make a hard link to a directory, and you don't want to do that. (unless someone knows something I don't) | 01:36 |
| _alazar | I was wondering today... Why Ubuntu doesn't come with compiz-config-settings and we have to manually install it? | 01:36 |
| alien__ | im booting on a mac but the installer does not detect de har driv,,i need to mount but i have no idea how is done so i can get this installation done | 01:36 |
| alien__ | it does not detect the drive | 01:37 |
| paul | bluenail: thanks, it's weird because when I do ln man, it says that you can make a hard link of a directory, but it probalby won't work.... | 01:37 |
| bluenail | paul yeah, you have to do some filesystem hacking for that to work, and you will probably destroy your system if you get it working. Sadly I don't understand why. | 01:37 |
| paul | bluenail: well thanks | 01:38 |
| bluenail | paul would having a cron job to copy changes do what you need it to? | 01:38 |
| kingofswords | Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/605008/ my boot script output | 01:38 |
| Jordan_U | kingofswords: I need the contents of the RESULTS.txt | 01:39 |
| kingofswords | ok 2 secs | 01:39 |
| paul | bluenail: nah, i'm trying to make it so I can bittorent things and then make a hard link to where they should permanently be stored, and then after they are fully downloaded it will change the name from the hard link from "avi.part" to just "avi" after it finishes... it's turning out to be very difficult | 01:39 |
| bluenail | paul why not a softlink? | 01:40 |
| swatto | hmm guys my computer loaded up this morning, works fine but the interface is a bit messed, i can only see half of my username and the power button is missing to shut the machine down? | 01:40 |
| kingofswords | Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/605009/ thx | 01:40 |
| paul | bluenail: because when I erase the file in the bittorent download directory (ie the original file) the soft link (in my TV sections of my server) won't work anymore, because the original file is gone. Unless I'm missing something about soft links | 01:41 |
| Jordan_U | kingofswords: Windows Can't boot from a logical partition. | 01:41 |
| paul | bluenail: also, I'm not sure how well I'm describing my situation | 01:41 |
| kingofswords | ok | 01:41 |
| bluenail | paul ah, I understand now. | 01:41 |
| cyberfrog | how do i kill the unity session? it's all farked up | 01:41 |
| cyberfrog | which process manages it? | 01:41 |
| kingofswords | so do i change that in gparted or disk utilty | 01:41 |
| _alazar | cyberfrog, I thinkg it's gnome-session as well. | 01:41 |
| vaxinated | cyberfrog: why not just logout? | 01:41 |
| swatto | whats the shortcut key to shut the machine down please? | 01:41 |
| Jordan_U | paul: Just make the hard link without the .part in the name in the first place. | 01:42 |
| cyberfrog | vaxinated: because the session was farked and there was no logout button and ctrl+alt+backspace did nothing | 01:42 |
| vaxinated | swatto: ctrl-alt-delete | 01:42 |
| bluenail | paul Jordan had a MUCH better idea than what I was typing :) | 01:42 |
| paul | Jordan_U: yea, that's generally what I do, but sometimes I am downlaoding many videos in one file (hope I'm not making it too obvious what I bittorent) and then I can't just do "ln * ~/TV) | 01:42 |
| kingofswords | Jordan_U, can i change the logical p artition? | 01:43 |
| paul | Jordan_U: I have to do an ln to each individual file | 01:43 |
| vaxinated | cyberfrog: ctrl-alt-delete does not give a shutdown/logout dialogue? | 01:43 |
| Jordan_U | kingofswords: Yes, but it can be difficult. | 01:43 |
| kingofswords | oh | 01:43 |
| paul | it'd be awesome if I could hard link a directory OR get transmission to not temporarily save as .part files | 01:43 |
| cyberfrog | vaxinated: no... it was the first thing i tried. | 01:43 |
| vaxinated | cyberfrog: what are the symtoms of your unity probelm? | 01:44 |
| cyberfrog | vaxinated: i no longer have an issue as i have restarted the session. | 01:44 |
| Jordan_U | paul: You can also create a symlink pionting to what the directory will be named. The targed doesn't need to exist to create a symlink, the symlink will just be broken untill it does. | 01:44 |
| _alazar | cyberfrog, have you tried disabling unity plugin in ccsm and then reenable it? | 01:44 |
| bluenail | paul your best bet might be to write a script to rename .part files. sadly I do not know much scripting to help you. | 01:45 |
| kingofswords | Jordan_U, do i use gparted or disk utiltu? | 01:45 |
| Jordan_U | kingofswords: I don't know. | 01:46 |
| kingofswords | ok | 01:46 |
| paul | Jordan_U: I don't quite understand | 01:46 |
| paul | bluenail: i ahve something SIMILAR going on, hard to explain | 01:46 |
| bluenail | paul: I am guessing the idea of just downloading things into their final destinations is too easy? | 01:47 |
| paul | bluenail: I can't specify to which directory each file will download when I use transmission for bittorents | 01:48 |
| Jordan_U | paul: Say that there currently exists a directory ~/Downloads/foobar.part/ run "ln -s ~/Downloads/foobar /somewhere/else/" | 01:48 |

| paul | Jordan_U: I see what you mean, but when I'm doing bittorents I end up throwing away ~/Downloads/foobar when after it has been properly seeded, then it's symlink will be gone... I'm pretty sure | 01:49 |
| Jordan_U | paul: /somewhere/else/ will be a broken link untill ~/Downloads/foobar/ (without the .part) exists (and will be broken again if ~/Downloads/foobar/ goes away). | 01:49 |
| ollie121 | hey guys | 01:49 |
| vaxinated | yo ollie121 | 01:49 |
| Jordan_U | paul: Many bittorrent clients allow running a command when a torrent finishes. | 01:50 |
| ollie121 | Just testing out Ubuntu on a netbook. Any way i can get rid of the netbook interface | 01:50 |
| ollie121 | hey vaxinated. how is it going ? | 01:50 |
| KM0201 | !classic | ollie121 | 01:50 |
| ubottu | ollie121: 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. | 01:50 |
| _alazar | ollie121, logout and in the login screen, select classic ubuntu. | 01:50 |
| vaxinated | ollie121: what alternate do you want to use? | 01:50 |
| gogeta1 | ollie121: nope unity is fail | 01:51 |
| ollie121 | i shall try that _alazar | 01:51 |
| gogeta1 | ollie121: im running xfce | 01:51 |
| paul | Jordan_U: good idea, except I want the end resting place of my media to be in different places, like ~/Movies, ~/TV, ~/Pictures, so I need to manually tell them where to go | 01:51 |
| ollie121 | vaxinated. what di you mean by alternate ? | 01:51 |
| vaxinated | ollie121: i love unity! | 01:51 |
| gogeta1 | ollie121: xubuntu kubuntu lubuntu | 01:51 |
| _alazar | I'll love unity when the launcher look more like docky. | 01:51 |
| gogeta1 | ollie121: or switch to gnome classic for now | 01:52 |
| ollie121 | a;right i shall give it a shot | 01:52 |
| isis | i got a problem with compiz in ubuntu 11.04, the unity was lose there is a way to fix? | 01:52 |
| vaxinated | ollie121: i guess you wanted an alternate desktop interface (e.g. gnome or kde) | 01:52 |
| ollie121 | vaxinated: yes | 01:52 |
| _alazar | isis, have you got 3d acceleration? $ glxinfo | grep render | 01:52 |
| bluenail | paul: You've got me stumped, I think yor best bet is still to get a script to traverse your tree and do the renaming. | 01:53 |
| vaxinated | ollie121: like they said. Ubuntu Classic is the gnome interface (alternative to using unity) | 01:53 |
| bluenail | I'm heading out all, going back to google and see what I can find on xinerama since nobody seemed to have a better idea. | 01:53 |
| ollie121 | vaxinated: ah i did not know that. the name i mean. alright i shall try switching from the login. | 01:53 |
| isis | _alazar, comand not found | 01:53 |
| Jordan_U | paul: You can do anything in a shell script. Put the path you want it to end up as in a file ~/Downloads/foobar/where_it_should_go.txt, or make a symlink to the parent directory like "ln -s ~/Videos/ ~/Downloads/foobar/what_directory_it_should_be_moved_into.symlink". | 01:54 |
| paul | bluenail: yea, I have a script set up that... helps me a little, I'll be ok | 01:54 |
| Matisse | I want to let you know that I solved my problem with a Perl-script i found in the web | 01:54 |
| _alazar | isis, you'll need to install mesa-utils first | 01:54 |
| lsv | so I change my /etc/default/grub file from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text quiet splash" and now Ubuntu starts in text mode, the problem is that when Ubuntu finish booting up I need to press Ctrl + Alt + F[1-6] to log in, is there any way to boot to any of the ttys? | 01:55 |

| toneshifter | ?? | 01:57 |

| LaurentR2D2 | Hello. I have a problem launching Ubuntu 11.04 live cd on a Mac Pro. I see the first launch screen and then it stops on a black screen and nothing happens anymore. Anyone with an idea ? It's a Mac Pro 2006, with a Cinema display on a mini display port | 02:00 |
| Note-book | vaxinated, NVidia drivers. | 02:01 |
| toneshifter | Jordan_U im running live cd right now and trying to install xubuntu along windows | 02:01 |
| Jordan_U | toneshifter: I need to leave but you probably have an invalid partition table. See: http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/ | 02:01 |
| vaxinated | Note-book: what is wrong with the drivers? | 02:01 |
| _alazar | Note-book, nvidia wasn't superior to ati in linux environments? | 02:01 |
| toneshifter | i mean gparted sees all partitions | 02:01 |
| toneshifter | just installer does not give me an option "install along windows" | 02:02 |
| bonez2046 | I have two identical sata drives, each is 250 gb.. both are bootable. I run off one and other has data on it I want to merge over to my main drive. How can I check to see which files are dupes, and then merge the data onto one drive so that the other drive can be for network storage and backup? | 02:02 |
| toneshifter | it did on the beginning | 02:02 |
| Note-book | _alazar, It was perfectly fine till 10.10. | 02:02 |
| toneshifter | but it does not right now | 02:02 |
| toneshifter | (after restart) | 02:02 |
| KM0201 | toneshifter: so you'll probably hve to "manually" set your partitions.... | 02:02 |
| gustavo | alguem sabe como que fais para ver o I.P??? | 02:02 |
| Note-book | vaxinated, They're messing up. Even now, I don't have any window titles or anything and the whole environment is messing up. | 02:02 |
| vaxinated | bonez2046: check out 'rsync' | 02:02 |
| toneshifter | KM0201 the question is how to do that without messing up the data on windows partition | 02:03 |
| _alazar | Note-book, alt+f2 and try metacity --replace | 02:03 |
| bonez2046 | vaxinated: thanks.. | 02:03 |

| _alazar | You'll need to fix the partition table and then re-install grub2, I think. | 02:07 |
| jim__ | how can I disable nv (nouveau) everywhere and use a modeset in grub to specify nvidia driva to load? | 02:07 |
| S4RY | am facing this odd issue , am unable to post-/repla in forums within firefox , chromium , i've tried almost all the web browsers packed in Ubuntu , even tried ' w3m , lynx ' web browser text based .. in Chromium / i get Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): Unknown error. | 02:08 |
| S4RY | in FireFox , and others along with 'w3m , lynx ' / a posting.php file pops up , would load for less than a second and would say done with a blank pageand thats about it. | 02:08 |
| _alazar | jim__, just install it from the propietary software manager, or whatever it's called in english. | 02:09 |
| S4RY | whats killing me is that i can successfully replay-post in-to forums from a windows box ! | 02:09 |
| jim__ | _alazar, I'm not sure I understand? | 02:09 |
| _alazar | jim__, doesn't ubuntu prompt you to install restricted drivers for your nvidia? | 02:10 |

| centHOGG | restricted drives = hilarious | 02:10 |

| kingofswords | is the big g , google? | 02:11 |
| _alazar | jim__, try downloading them from the official web, maybe an update fix i. | 02:11 |
| _alazar | it. | 02:12 |
| _alazar | yep | 02:12 |
| jim__ | _alazar, if you don't know the answer, please say so rather that shooting in the dark | 02:12 |

| Flannel | Meisje: The traditional way is samba if you have to interoperate with Windows, however since Windows 7, Microsoft finally supports NFS, which is generally easier to set up (although I'm not sure how on the windows side) | 02:43 |
| Meisje | Yeah, but I don't actually know how to find the drive. | 02:43 |
| Flannel | !nfs | Meisje | 02:43 |

| komodo169 | myrk: i'm gonna try it | 02:49 |
| m4v | myrk: is a fork bomb, check in the wikipedia. | 02:49 |
| myrk | what part of it makes it fork? | 02:49 |
| bronze | it forks off so many processes that it uses up all the system resources | 02:49 |
| rage | myrk: Fork bomb, it launches copies of itself over and over until your computer crashes | 02:49 |
| myrk | ok | 02:49 |
| BrianH | rage, if you could, try recording a session and move an application window from one workspace to another by click and drag. | 02:49 |

| FordPrefect | How do I save a file in Linux? | 02:50 |
| FordPrefect | every time I choose a directory to save a file it default saves it to the download directory | 02:50 |
| BrianH | rage, ah gotcha. | 02:50 |
| bronze | myrk: well in bash operators have multiple meanings, they vary based on context | 02:50 |
| FordPrefect | but i want to save my files in another directory | 02:50 |
| myrk | bronze, ok | 02:51 |
| BrianH | FordPrefect, how do you save? from what? | 02:51 |
| myrk | bronze, so does it basically create an infinite loop that launches different processes? | 02:51 |
| bronze | myrk: The key here is the ":" operator. Go look it up on the bash page. | 02:51 |
| myrk | ok | 02:51 |
| rage | myrk: Essentially yes | 02:51 |
| FordPrefect | I save a file from source and then a prompt opens up and I choose the directory to save it | 02:51 |
| r0fs3ck5 | FordPrefect: from firefox? | 02:51 |
| BrianH | FordPrefect, if you're referring to your browsers default download directory, that file path is set in the user settings. | 02:51 |
| FordPrefect | yes from Firefox. | 02:52 |
| bronze | myrk: yes, it "forks" continuosly until the system crashes, or until the user;s "ulimit" is reached. | 02:52 |
| rhizmoe_ | hi all | 02:52 |
| FordPrefect | user settings is in preferences on Firefox BrianH ? | 02:52 |
| BrianH | FordPrefect, correct, the Preferences | 02:52 |
| rage | myrk: Basically it definites a function called :() the function definition is to run : and print he output to : | 02:52 |
| bronze | myrk: the ulimit command can specifiy a max # of processes for a user, creating an artificial resource limit that prevents fork bombs from bringing down the system. | 02:53 |
| rage | myrk: Here is the expanded version function(){ function | function }; function | 02:53 |
| myrk | ok, thanks | 02:53 |

| rage | myrk: program called A { run A and copy its output to A, background that task } end definition. Run program A | 02:56 |
| Omega | !chroot | jimrew | 02:56 |
| ubottu | jimrew: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 02:56 |
| r0fs3ck5 | FordPrefect: I might add that some third party plugins have their own download folder settings, so if you are using one, look for it's special dialog | 02:56 |

| bronze | myrk: >>><myrk> oh I get it, so it creates a function that calls itself in another process? <<< No, it doesn't call itself, it spawns off another new copy of itself, a new process. (we call this forking because where there was one proc, thee are now two ) | 02:58 |
| lsv | lenios: I did and it just boots and stays in tty7 | 02:58 |
| myrk | bronze, that's what I kinda meant. xD | 02:58 |
| lenios | lsv, what are you expecting? | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | jimrew: i dont think if you 'chroot' the term 'virtual' applies. | 02:59 |
| bronze | myrk: yeah, I noticed that was a possible dual interpretation. | 02:59 |
| lsv | lenios: Is there a way to boot to another tty? Like tty2? | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | jimrew: and it may take some setting up to run any X apps from a chrooted enviroment. | 02:59 |

| sprung | i also heard that if i upgrade i will have problems with my Synergy setup (i use several pc's and a laptop at work, hooked together with Synergy) | 03:46 |
| godmachine81 | ubuntu rushed in releasing 11.04 and wanted it to have the gnome 3 look without being gnome 3.. so they implemented unity with gnome 2.3 | 03:46 |

| xerophyte | izinucs: where can i change these setting from shell | 03:52 |
| izinucs | xerophyte: that address then is a default because dhcp isn't getting an address from the router.. which is why the manual method works. you could install wicd or network-manager if they are not present and it should work normally | 03:52 |

| bastidrazor | !classic | Burzmali | 04:28 |
| ubottu | Burzmali: 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. | 04:28 |
| izinucs | Burzmali: kde/kubuntu .. classic.. xfce .. lxde... cli | 04:29 |
| Burzmali | Okay, missed that option, is anyone taking donations to launch Unity into the sun? | 04:29 |
| vietred | Datz: I don't know Debian, but I have the same problem with ubuntu, the solution is configure the network manager instead of edit the file | 04:30 |
| napping | upgrading to 11.04 is not working. I get an error "Invalid package information" - "After your package information was updated the essential package 'ubuntu-minimal' can not be found anymore..." | 04:30 |

| qin | Burzmali: Me | 04:30 |
| Datz | vietred: ah. there is another way /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf | 04:30 |
| bastidrazor | r0fs3ck5: there may be some files in /etc/NetworkManager too that can be useful. | 04:30 |
| Burzmali | qin: Someone needs to start up a kickstarter project or something. | 04:30 |

| Datz | vietred: also, debian and ubuntu are pretty dern similar under then hood as far as I have realized | 04:31 |
| vietred | Datz: if there is a network manager, it will re-edit your file so it's useless to edit the file yourself | 04:31 |
| Datz | vietred: well dhclient.conf isn't changed | 04:32 |
| Datz | but /etc/resolv.conf is | 04:32 |
| r0fs3ck5 | bastidrazor: I agree, very useful. Thanks. | 04:32 |

| bastidrazor | r0fs3ck5: best of luck. | 04:33 |

| BlackWeb | nvm | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | combbreaker: if the OS detecs a badly shutdown filesystem, it will mount it read only (look at the options in /etc/fstab). It may have been rectified so can now mount as writable | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | BlackWeb: they add items to the right click menu for some files, very handy | 04:38 |
| BlackWeb | so like if right clicked on items or desktop then they'd give me more options | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest97869: I always recommend a clean install personally | 04:39 |
| BlackWeb | cause looking at some at gnome-look.org and was trying to decide how they'd work | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | BlackWeb: exactly, ubuntuteak has a few handy ones but you can find some online (or make your own) and add those | 04:40 |
| napping | well, it seems to work after rewriting sources.list | 04:40 |
| BlackWeb | then they all go into ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ Directory | 04:40 |
| ActionParsnip | BlackWeb: they are just bash scripts which getadded to the menu if you put them in that directory | 04:40 |

| ActionParsnip | angbermu: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/indicator-keylock-ubuntu/ has a natty branch too :) | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | mosno: http://maketecheasier.com/autohide-unity-launcher-in-ubuntu-natty/2011/04/20 | 04:42 |
| angbermu | ActionParsnip: Thanks | 04:43 |
| Toph | since I upgraded to 11.04, i have lost the panel which contains the x,minimize,maximize functions.. is that normal? | 04:43 |

| ActionParsnip | Toph: its called the window decorator | 04:44 |
| Toph | ActionParsnip,,, ok,,, how do I restore it? | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph: if you press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace do they return | 04:44 |
| joey1 | I have a problem with what audio drivers to use. Pulse audio doesnt work with some apps? | 04:44 |
| joey1 | Which audio driver will work? | 04:45 |
| Toph | ActionParsnip,,, alt+F2 does nothing | 04:45 |
| ActionParsnip | joey1: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh | 04:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph: or run it in a terminal. | 04:45 |
| maj- | is there no longer an ubuntu laptop edition? | 04:45 |
| Toph | ok | 04:46 |
| Toph | ActionParsnip,,, success | 04:46 |
| Toph | ActionParsnip,,, thanks | 04:46 |
| ActionParsnip | maj-: unity can run on laptops or do you want the jaunty-esqu netbook menu thing | 04:46 |
| joey1 | the alsa txt file? | 04:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph: you arent running compiz now, if you close the terminal you will also switch back. but at least you can now troubleshoot some. Do you use an nvidia video chip? | 04:47 |
| ActionParsnip | joey1: no, I gave a command | 04:47 |
| joey1 | i ran it yes | 04:47 |
| Toph | ActionParsnip,,, i have a Radeon video card | 04:47 |
| joey1 | it made a txt file | 04:48 |
| joey1 | in temp folder | 04:48 |
| mosno | ActionParsnip: trying that now, thanks | 04:48 |
| ActionParsnip | joey1: ok then select to upload to the server and a red url willbe generated. What is the url? | 04:48 |
| joey1 | k | 04:48 |
| ActionParsnip | joey1: thats fine too, just pastebin the file | 04:48 |
| mosno | it's not that i don't like the auto hide per se, its that it doesn't quite work when running ubuntu as a virtualbox guest | 04:48 |
| Toph | ActionParsnip,,, ok,, when I closed the terminal, i can't even access my running programs | 04:49 |
| Toph | really messed things up | 04:49 |
| joey1 | http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=cdf1c53229235c9d7e7617351dc01ba226d7c951 | 04:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph: you can reboot and do it again. You can always add a startup item to run the command. Did you upgrade from Maverick to Natty by any chance? | 04:50 |
| Toph | ActionParsnip,,, yes, i upgraded | 04:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph: thought so, does it happen as a fresh user? | 04:50 |
| Toph | ActionParsnip,,, create a new user? | 04:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph: yeah, see if its the application or settings causing the problem | 04:51 |
| Toph | ActionParsnip,,, i'll try that | 04:51 |
| ActionParsnip | joey1: not sure then, what apps don't have sound? | 04:51 |
| joey1 | teamspeak3 | 04:51 |
| joey1 | mic doesnt work but i have sound | 04:52 |
| ActionParsnip | joey1: does the mic work in sound recorder? | 04:52 |
| joey1 | yeah | 04:53 |
| joey1 | just not ts | 04:53 |
| ActionParsnip | joey1: ok so its only the mic and only in teamspeak? | 04:53 |
| joey1 | yes | 04:53 |
| angbermu | ActionParsnip: Worked perfectly, thanks :) | 04:53 |
| ActionParsnip | joey1: So what happened to: (04:44:32) joey1: I have a problem with what audio drivers to use. Pulse audio doesnt work with some apps? | 04:54 |
| === FordPrefect is now known as F | ||
| ActionParsnip | angbermu: np man | 04:54 |
| === F is now known as FordPrefect- | ||
| joey1 | yes i think its the audio driver | 04:54 |
| ActionParsnip | joey1: why weren't you more specific like that right off the bat? | 04:54 |
| joey1 | sorry i thought there was a better driver that would fix the problem | 04:55 |
| ddoom_ | how do you modify the $PATH var for sudo/root? | 04:56 |
| ddoom_ | or for all users? | 04:56 |
| ActionParsnip | joey1: in future, state the app you are having issue with if its only one | 04:56 |
| ActionParsnip | joey1: may help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TeamSpeak | 04:56 |
| bronze | ddoom_: alter the global shell profile init files | 04:56 |
| joey1 | k thanks | 04:56 |
| ddoom_ | bronze: where do they reside? | 04:57 |
| bronze | ddoom_: look in /etc for files or dirs named "profile" or bash etc.. also skel. (none of this is Ubuntu specific, sorry. ) | 04:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ddoom_: if you add it in /etc/profile it will be added to all users | 04:57 |
| bronze | ActionParsnip: "<ddoom_> or for all users? " | 04:58 |
| Toph | ActionParsnip, i created a new user and all seems ok | 04:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph: so we know it's settings based | 04:58 |
| ubuntu | Is there an easy way to disable unity that doesn't involve restarting? I'm in a live session and unity is really holding me back | 04:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: log off, log in to gnome classic and it won't run | 04:58 |
| ubuntu | ActionParsnip: there's not logout button under the system menu even :\ | 04:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph: could ask in #compiz tosee if they have a fix | 04:59 |

| ergZay | why isnt pulseaudio dropped from default ubuntu? | 05:01 |
| Scarra3 | So how How does ubuntu compare to windows 7 | 05:01 |
| ergZay | pulseaudio should be left for being installed by people who need it | 05:01 |
| joey1 | ActionParsnip: how do i run things with padsp | 05:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Scarra3: depends on tastes and requirements | 05:01 |
| ergZay | it causes more problems than it acutally fixes, and is mostly a piece of legacy software | 05:01 |
| ActionParsnip | joey1: not sure, i've not used it dude | 05:01 |
| mah454 | How i can install simple-ccsm in ubuntu-11.04 ... | 05:02 |
| Scarra3 | Well I do programming but im looking for something faster and more secure with more customization | 05:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ergZay: if you use Lubuntu, its not around (if I remember correctly) | 05:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Scarra3: then its great, it can do all thatstuff | 05:02 |
| ergZay | ActionParsnip: unofficial distribution? | 05:02 |
| ShayGuy | I've got a laptop running 10.10 that refuses to upgrade to 11.04 (lotsa "Failed to fetch..." errors), and the 11.04 LiveCD doesn't seem to realize I've got 10.10 on here at all. | 05:03 |
| ergZay | ActionParsnip: well i dont think people want a lightweight system, they just want a system that doesnt break everywhere | 05:03 |
| ergZay | which is what pulseaudio does in default setups | 05:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ergZay: kinda, its vying for officialness as hard as it can | 05:03 |
| bastidrazor | Scarra3: that is like asking how Ford compares to Chevy. | 05:03 |
| ergZay | i dont know how many times i see people complaining about problems | 05:03 |
| ergZay | and the eventual solution is found "uninstall pulseaudio" | 05:03 |
| ergZay | then everything works fine | 05:03 |
| ergZay | ActionParsnip: http://amplicate.com/hate/pulseaudio | 05:04 |
| ShayGuy | I've made several posts to the forums, with no response. | 05:05 |

| Diytto | So i Have a PPC Mac G4 and i can't get the 10.10 live dvd to boot at all | 05:13 |
| bronze | nikhil thats an excellent idea. i don't know if thee is anything in Ubuntu's power management tools that can do that, but its a great idea. | 05:14 |
| Gskellig | on 11.04, i installed then uninstalled compiz and now I think nothing is set to the default | 05:14 |
| nikhil_ | bronze, that was standard on kde :( | 05:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Scarra3: should be fine, you may need a boot option to get the touchpad to play well, otherwise it a standard lappy | 05:14 |
| napping | should I just continue? | 05:14 |
| nikhil_ | my power is being sucked and there's nothing I can do because the electricity is cut | 05:14 |

| Diytto | :s | 05:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Diytto: its worth a check | 05:15 |

| ActionParsnip | Gskellig: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace | 05:16 |
| FordPrefect- | when I give one parameter to the me() function | 05:16 |
| Gskellig | yes coz_ | 05:16 |
| Gryllida | Guest88813: I'm using Firefox for Mobile. I don't understand what you mean by your question. | 05:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Diytto: also when the disk starts to boot | 05:16 |
| Scarra3 | ActionParsnip well I booted the livecd and my touchpad worked btw what version should I go with the x86 or x64 its an amd athlon x2 dual core 2.2 GHz and it has 4GB of ram | 05:16 |
| nikhil_ | FordPrefect-, pastebin your code please | 05:16 |
| nikhil_ | FordPrefect-, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ | 05:17 |
| Gskellig | alt+f2 does nothing, i managed to get a terminal up but metacity --replace doesn't get my sidebar or topbar back | 05:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Diytto: and you see the stickman at the bottom of the screen, press SPACE and check it for defects, you can also test RAM health too | 05:17 |
| coz_ | Gskellig, you could also try in terminal compiz --replace ccp & disown,, or in alt+F2 compiz --replace ccp & however you wont get error readings in the run dialog | 05:17 |
| Gskellig | i just uninstalled compiz, thats why im having issues | 05:17 |
| coz_ | I believe unity --replace & disown is also ok | 05:17 |
| nikhil_ | Gskellig, how did you fix your problems? | 05:17 |
| FordPrefect- | okay nikhil_ | 05:17 |

| nikhil_ | Gskellig, lol, that's hectic. i killed compiz and ubuntu just whacked out | 05:18 |
| Gskellig | nikhil_, my problem was actually two graphics cards running at once, among OTHER power comsumption issues | 05:18 |
| nikhil_ | then i realised uninstalling might not be a good idea | 05:18 |
| Gryllida | Guest88813: What browser are you using? | 05:18 |

| Guest88813 | ya | 05:18 |
| nikhil_ | Gskellig, reinstall compiz? | 05:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Scarra3: it's a 64bit chip so you can use either. I'd go for 64bit personally, it will help your compiling. | 05:18 |

| TrentonAdams | ActionParsnip: I killed all bluetooth related processes, and it's still there. Any more ideas? | 05:18 |

| Scarra3 | ActionParsnip: Ok thanks btw do you program at all | 05:19 |
| nikhil_ | Gskellig, what do you use windows for? | 05:19 |
| Gskellig | do a real dual boot, its not that much more work | 05:19 |
| Gskellig | for when ubuntu breaks and I have homework due the next day =P | 05:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Diytto: if all tests as ok then try adding the boot option: nomodeset | 05:19 |

| TrentonAdams | ActionParsnip: blueman is not installed. lol | 05:19 |
| KM0201 | Gskellig: wubi is just asking to brick both OS's.. i would not use it either | 05:19 |

| KM0201 | lorenz: what version of ubuntu?.. i've got that device on 3 laptops, and it works out of the box. | 05:21 |
| lorenz | KM0201, 11.04 | 05:21 |
| nessonic | Hello, I'm trying to mess around with learning about setting up an NFS system...but I have no exports folder in /etc...? | 05:21 |
| KM0201 | lorenz: are you sure you're using ubuntu?... that device works flawlessly out of the box. | 05:21 |
| FordPrefect- | nikhil_, any ideas? | 05:21 |
| nikhil_ | Gskellig, no real issues, i just know these desktop effects are draining my battery faster than it should be drained. in kde i had an option to turn off all effects. at this rate my 1 year old battery is going to last 45mins | 05:22 |
| nikhil_ | FordPrefect-, I am looking at the Tweepy API | 05:22 |
| lorenz | KM0201, The blue light is on, so it works--however, my gui cannot scan for wireless networks | 05:22 |
| nikhil_ | FordPrefect-, that information doesn't really help | 05:22 |

| KM0201 | lorenz: i dunno, my wireless light has NEVER worked on Linux... but the device has worked quite well for about 4yrs | 05:22 |
| quackaduck | nokhil_: what graphics card do you have? | 05:22 |
| FordPrefect- | Do you want me to copy and paste the function from the twitty API source code? | 05:22 |

| FordPrefect- | tweepy" I mean, nikhil_ | 05:23 |
| Diytto | ActionParsnip: Okay. I dont think xorg works correctly though. I had trouble with it when installing debian | 05:23 |
| lorenz | KM0201, and the 'enable wireless' functionality is greyed over--the wifi worked until a couple of days ago | 05:23 |
| ActionParsnip | nikhil_: use ccsm and disable some plugins, you could just ditch compiz and install lxde, makes batterys last longer | 05:23 |
| KM0201 | lorenz: try this in a terminal... sudo modprobe ath5k then wait about 10-15sec, and see if you can get on a wireless network | 05:23 |
| nikhil_ | ActionParsnip, that means ditching unity, right :/ | 05:23 |

| FordPrefect- | what do you need exactly? | 05:25 |
| coz_ | ShayGuy, you checked the cd md5sum before burning at 1x ..yes? | 05:25 |
| Scarra3 | Is there a way to update my iphones firmware threw ubuntu | 05:25 |
| murphy | Hi, how to resolve this issue: | 05:25 |
| murphy | murphy@murphy-Latitude-D630:~$ locale | 05:25 |
| murphy | locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory | 05:25 |
| murphy | locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory | 05:25 |
| murphy | locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory | 05:26 |
| FloodBot1 | murphy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:26 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: The Desktop CD is not an upgrade CD, it can only do fresh installs (though you can do a fresh install while preserving your home directory). | 05:26 |
| nikhil_ | FordPrefect-, ok | 05:26 |
| murphy | FloodBot1, sorry | 05:26 |
| quackaduck | nikhil_: I don't know about intel cards, but when I use the open source drivers for my ati card, my laptop certainly runs hotter and drains my battery faster. Probably has to do something with power management on the intel drivers? | 05:26 |
| nikhil_ | FordPrefect-, this is not the place for python talk, pm | 05:26 |
| nikhil_ | quackaduck, yeah, intel fortunately releases open source only drivers | 05:26 |
| nikhil_ | but they really suck | 05:26 |
| nikhil_ | really suck means extremely bad | 05:26 |
| nikhil_ | :P | 05:26 |
| quackaduck | lol | 05:26 |
| coz_ | Scarra3, see if this helps http://wmarkito.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/update-iphone-firmware-to-ios4-ubuntu-1004/ | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | nikhil_: try fusion-icon | 05:27 |
| ShayGuy | coz_: I got it straight from the main website; I didn't think it would be necessary. | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !info fusion-icon | 05:27 |
| ubottu | fusion-icon (source: fusion-icon): tray icon to launch and manage Compiz Fusion. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.1.0-2ubuntu1 (natty), package size 29 kB, installed size 264 kB | 05:27 |
| lorenz | KM0201, I am sure there is a mundane reason behind this | 05:27 |
| nikhil_ | ActionParsnip, ah, good idea | 05:27 |
| murphy | Hi, murphy@murphy-Latitude-D630:~$ locale | 05:27 |

| FloodBot1 | murphy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:27 |
| coz_ | ShayGuy, well yes md5sums are important to be sure the iso contents were not corrupt during download | 05:27 |
| ShayGuy | Jordan_U: Good to know. :) Still doesn't bring me much closer to figuring out HOW to upgrade. | 05:27 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, When I first installed Ubuntu, wifi did work out of the box, but now it does not. The blue light is on, it is a matter of simply finding out how to get the wireless signal working | 05:27 |
| coz_ | ShayGuy, and you should burn this at 1x speed ,, no faster ,,, | 05:27 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, I was wondering a re-install might do the trick? | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenz: I had that too, same chip. Its a weird one | 05:28 |
| coz_ | ShayGuy, there is a minimal install cd,, rather easy and all packages are download during install...netinstall essentially | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenz: its a possibility. If you run: rfkill list is it blocked in any way? | 05:28 |
| jgould | what happens if I delete a partition wiht the flag of 'bios_grub | 05:28 |
| coz_ | ShayGuy, the one advantage is that the cd is only 19 megs | 05:28 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: Can you boot Ubuntu 10.10 and pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update"? | 05:28 |
| coz_ | ShayGuy, it is ,however, NOT a live cd | 05:29 |
| Gskellig | argh i give up for now | 05:29 |
| Gskellig | reinstalling compiz didnt work | 05:29 |
| Jordan_U | jgould: Grub will most likely fail to load. Why? | 05:29 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, I see 'softblocked' yes, and 'hardblocked' no | 05:29 |
| Gskellig | and compiz --replae and metacity --replace didn't fix my problem | 05:29 |
| coz_ | Gskellig, did you do the compiz --replace ccp & disown from terminal? | 05:29 |
| ShayGuy | Jordan_U: OK, I can do that. See you in a bit. | 05:29 |
| Gskellig | i didnt try & disown | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenz: do you have a shortcut combo which turns the wifi off and on? | 05:29 |
| jgould | I'm trying to resize partitions, and this little (<1 MB) partition is in the darn way... | 05:29 |
| Gskellig | finished reinstalling though | 05:29 |
| coz_ | Gskellig, that will allow it to be put into the background so you can close the terminal | 05:29 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, and I also see soft block and hardblock yes | 05:29 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, Just the button | 05:30 |
| Gskellig | didnt work anyway | 05:30 |
| coz_ | Gskellig, however, if there are errors then it will be reported in terminal | 05:30 |
| === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| coz_ | Gskellig, is this a clean install or upgrade | 05:30 |
| Jordan_U | jgould: Then I would first make sure that you know how to re-install grub, then delete the partition making a new one to replace it somewhere else. | 05:30 |
| Gskellig | metacity sort of worked, but I didn't get my sidebar/topbar back | 05:30 |
| Gskellig | clean install but | 05:30 |
| Gskellig | hold on | 05:30 |
| killown | How do I upgrade from x86 to x64? | 05:30 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest33639 | ||
| KM0201 | killown: you can't | 05:30 |
| coz_ | killown, reinstall | 05:30 |
| KM0201 | wel, there is that option.. :) but thats not an upgrade | 05:31 |
| NiS | i just installed 11.04, and i was wondering, i cant see the effects tab in appearance. I wanted the 'super+tab' effect that you get on selecting Extra, but cant find that. | 05:31 |
| Gskellig | i installed the mainline kernel on it | 05:31 |
| killown | coz_, my cd of x64 don't recognize the nvraid | 05:31 |
| KM0201 | killown: then it doesn't sound like you'll be using 64bit. | 05:31 |
| coz_ | NiS, make sure compizconfig-settings-manager is installed ,, open that with ccsm or under system/preferences/compizconfig-settings=manager | 05:31 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/58n9uHY4 | 05:31 |
| Jordan_U | !ccsm | NiS | 05:31 |
| ubottu | NiS: 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 | 05:31 |
| coz_ | killown, oooo | 05:31 |
| killown | it goes to initramfs /dev/loop failed | 05:32 |
| killown | because was not possible mount any partition | 05:32 |
| Jordan_U | killown: 64 bit vs 32 bit should have nothing to do with supporting Nvidia FakeRAID. | 05:32 |
| KM0201 | killown: it's really all irrelevant, because yopu can't upgrade 32bit, to 64bit... that requires a clean install, and if you can't install 64bit.. then it's a pointless discussion | 05:32 |
| coz_ | simple-ccsm is not installable on 11.04 yet I believe | 05:32 |
| killown | Jordan_U, here is not working | 05:32 |
| NiS | will i get the super+tab effect after i install simple-ccsm? | 05:32 |
| NiS | its not? | 05:32 |
| coz_ | NiS, no ,, it requires compiz 0.8.x | 05:33 |
| coz_ | at this point anyway | 05:33 |
| NiS | then? what should i do for super+tab effect? | 05:33 |
| coz_ | NiS, install compizconfig-settings-manager | 05:33 |
| Jordan_U | killown: What version of 32 bit Ubuntu worked? What version of 64 bit Ubuntu didn't work? | 05:33 |
| coz_ | NiS, which is the "full" ccsm | 05:33 |
| NiS | ohhhh | 05:33 |
| killown | Jordan_U, maverick x86 | 05:33 |
| killown | ubuntu natty 64bits didn't worked | 05:34 |
| killown | maverick works fine | 05:34 |
| Jordan_U | killown: Then it's more likely a difference between maverick and natty than 32 vs 64 bit. | 05:34 |
| coz_ | killown, out of curiosity ,, what video card do you have? | 05:35 |
| NiS | sorry, but i am really new to ubuntu/ | 05:35 |
| NiS | i typed what you told me to download in the software center's search bar, and got this... | 05:35 |
| killown | coz_, gt430 | 05:35 |
| NiS | advanced desktop effects settings (ccsm) | 05:35 |
| NiS | should i install this? | 05:35 |
| FloodBot1 | NiS: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:35 |
| coz_ | NiS, yes | 05:35 |
| coz_ | NiS, after installing you can hit alt+F2 type ccsm | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenz: weird,could reboot, then run: dmesg | less to see what happens at boot | 05:36 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, okay, will try that | 05:36 |
| jfe | Is there any way to have the "Places" show directories in $HOME that have been renamed? | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | coz_: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/compiz-adds-natty-ppa/ ;) | 05:37 |
| jfe | s/"Places"/"Places" menu/ | 05:37 |
| coz_ | jfe, ooo can you explain that better ..yes? | 05:37 |
| Scarra3 | I had a question about ubuntu 11.04 the searchbox that shows up takes up the whole screen and I noticed on the ubuntu website that it doesn't there | 05:38 |
| ShayGuy | Okies, back. | 05:38 |
| ActionParsnip | NiShttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/compiz-adds-natty-ppa/ | 05:38 |
| arand | jfe: You can add them as bookmarks. | 05:38 |
| coz_ | ActionParsnip, the PPA for compiz? I believe that is for maverick only ,, yes? | 05:39 |
| ShayGuy | Jordan_U: You wanted me to pastebin the output of apt-get update? | 05:39 |
| coz_ | ActionParsnip, there is a script written by soreau that is flawless and much easier to deal with compiling compiz and it can be updated by running script again ,, pretty nifty | 05:39 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: Yes (sudo apt-get update). | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | coz_: site says natty, but isn't | 05:40 |
| coz_ | ActionParsnip, yeah sam didnt create one for natty,, no need with soreau's script if anyone wants to test it ... the compiled version is way better but no Unity plugin of course | 05:40 |
| ActionParsnip | coz_: natty has 0.9.4 anyhoo :) | 05:40 |
| coz_ | ActionParsnip, yep it sure does :) | 05:40 |
| NiS | i started ccsm, i cant find the super+tab thing. and one more thing, the top panel has turned totally black! there is some weird patterns on it, now what? | 05:41 |

| ActionParsnip | lorenz: use cursors to scroll down and up, its a LOT more than that | 05:42 |

| boxbeatsy | any ideas? | 05:44 |
| boxbeatsy | the error status was: dpkg: error processing sun-java6-bin (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 | 05:45 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenz: eth0 is your ethernet port (wired conection) | 05:45 |
| Gryllida | How do I change the onlogin message which I see when I ssh? | 05:45 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, did you already install ubuntu restricted extras? | 05:45 |
| Gryllida | It includes a link to Ubuntu documentation by default but I want to expand it. | 05:45 |

| lorenz | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/qvkAj5tp | 05:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Gryllida: theres a banner section there | 05:46 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, I think that could be it... | 05:46 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, not sure but open synaptic package manager,, hit Search and type in icedtea | 05:47 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenz: ok try this: sudo modprobe -r ath5k; sleep 2; sudo modprobe ath5k | 05:47 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, you want sun java ...yes? | 05:47 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: yea from the error it seems like the problem is with sun java 6 bin | 05:47 |
| ActionParsnip | boxbeatsy: are you using natty? | 05:48 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, I ran the command--should I expect something? | 05:48 |
| boxbeatsy | ActionParsnip: not sure what natty is, i guess not? | 05:48 |

| coz_ | boxbeatsy, and did you search for icedtea | 05:49 |
| boxbeatsy | i typed in icedtea like yous adi | 05:49 |
| triy | no | 05:49 |
| Gryllida | The page says I can replace "etc/issue.cat" with "etc/issue" to display message after the user logs in instead of displaying it before he logs in. How do I display both? | 05:49 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, did a list of installed packages s how up? | 05:49 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: Can you pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list? | 05:49 |
| ActionParsnip | boxbeatsy: http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-java-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-ppa/ it also has a Lucid branch | 05:49 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: yea i have 10 pckgs showing up, 6 have green boxes lit up | 05:49 |
| ghostnik11 | can empathy 3.0.1 work in ubuntu 10.10? | 05:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Gryllida: oh like when you first hit the server you want a message then | 05:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ghostnik11: sure, why not | 05:50 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, ok what I normally do is right click each package and choose Remove completely,, then hit search again and type sun java and look for the sun-java6-plugin | 05:50 |
| kitt | ActionParsnip: Alright I tried out the unp program but it threw me back errors when it came to extracting, does it mean something is wrong with the file itself? here is the URL http://www.ralinktech.com/license_us.php?n=2&p=0&t=U0wyRnpjMlYwY3k4eU1ERXhMekEwTHpJM0wyUnZkMjVzYjJGa056RXhOamcyTXpRMk9DNWllakk5UFQweU1ERXhYekEwTWpkZlVsUXpOVGN5WDB4cGJuVjRYMU5VUVY5Mk1pNDFMakF1TUM1RVVFOD1D | 05:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Gryllida: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/change-openssh-sshd-server-login-banner.html | 05:51 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, if you want other sun packages they will be there as well,, however,, the sun java plugin will pull in many of them | 05:51 |
| kitt | its the RT3572USB driver on the Ralink site | 05:51 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: ok doing that now | 05:51 |
| ghostnik11 | actionparsnip: then how come when i put the new telepathy ppa it didn't update empathy, for me, i have 2.32.1 and i noticed that empathy is up to 3.0.1 | 05:51 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, then when both of them are ready go a head and hit the Apply button | 05:52 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: i got the following error while removing: E: sun-java6-bin: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 | 05:52 |
| ShayGuy | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605056/ | 05:52 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, ok go to the Edit menu in synaptic and choose Fix broken packages | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | kitt: strange, the file downloads but is empty - 0k | 05:52 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, see if anything sh ows up | 05:52 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, then hit apply to fix if so | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ghostnik11: try: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade | 05:53 |
| ghostnik11 | actionparsnip: will try right now, thanks | 05:53 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: hmm i dont think anything is happening when i cilck fix broken packages | 05:53 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: That is very odd. run "gksudo software-properties-gtk" and switch to the main or US mirror. | 05:53 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: the screen blinks and nothing happens | 05:53 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, ok .. search for sun java,, are any packages already marked? | 05:54 |
| kitt | ActionParsnip: I think it may be due to a GET/POST thing or something, if you go to http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 and click on the RT3572USB linux driver, thats the file (You can enter in a bogus name/email when prompted) | 05:54 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: yea, got 4 marked | 05:54 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, if so right click and either Unmark or Remove completely | 05:54 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: k | 05:54 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, then hit Apply again | 05:54 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, that command you gave me earlier, was I supposed to follow it up with something? | 05:54 |
| ChronicSyncope | well that was odd | 05:55 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: ok done, got the same error though | 05:55 |
| coz_ | ooo | 05:55 |
| boxbeatsy | E: sun-java6-bin: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 | 05:55 |
| ShayGuy | Jordan_U: Switched to "Server for United States" and clicked "Close." Opened the window again through the Software Center and it still said "Main server." Is that supposed to happen? | 05:56 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, well it may be because it is nearlfy 1a, here and my eyes are heavy,, I know there is a way to remedy this ,, I have done it times before ,, I just cant think of it off the top of my head | 05:56 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, rather 1am here | 05:56 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: hehe, i understand | 05:56 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: No. | 05:56 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, apologies for taking your time on this | 05:56 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: Has your /etc/apt/sources.list changed? | 05:56 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, someone here can definitly help | 05:57 |
| coz_ | I am off to bed,, be nice ,, share what you know ,, dont walk into the light !! :) | 05:57 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: np, thanks for your help | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | kitt: not sure, the file seem broken | 05:57 |
| boxbeatsy | hi, i'm getting the following error when trying to install sun-java6-bin https://gist.github.com/08e55ee0b34fc4e9c8cd. does anyone know how to completely remove and reinsatll sun java correctly? | 05:58 |

| lorenz | ActionParsnip, whattya think? A reinstall? | 05:59 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, I was thinking Xubuntu this time... | 06:00 |
| ghostnik11 | actionparsnip: nope, i typed the update command in terminal and nothing happened or changed via terminal or synaptic command, still saying i have empathy 2.32.1 | 06:00 |
| ShayGuy | Jordan_U: Appears to be no change. | 06:00 |
| kitt | ActionParsnip: :/ Alright, thanks for helping me. I wish Ubuntu would have put more resources into hardware support rather than Unity | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | kitt: its not ubuntu's job | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | kitt: its the hardware manufacturers | 06:02 |
| ghostnik11 | actionparsnip: i thinked its b/c i am on ubuntu 10.10 as when i look on http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/303030 it says 3.01 but it also says 11.04 | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | kitt: if hardware manufacturers made more linux drivers it would be better | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenz: all I can suggest is compiling the driver, maybe others can advise | 06:03 |
| zus | is there a gnome version for k3b? | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | zus: no, k3b is Qt only | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | !burner | 06:03 |
| ubottu | CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | zus: try gnomebaker, its pretty sweet | 06:04 |
| zus | does it burn images to usb so i can make bootable discs? | 06:04 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, So it initially worked out of the box, and now it does not--can you suggest any reason why this might be? Could it be an update that caused it? | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenz: different kernel, differnet modules is my guess. Not sure | 06:05 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, Ahhh, a kernel issue you think | 06:05 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, like the card could be black listed or something | 06:06 |
| ActionParsnip | lorenz: if it works OOTB then the controller is detected by the stock kernel modules | 06:06 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, Worked, the blue light is on but the wireless connection is greyed over on the top left corner of the gnome gui | 06:06 |
| lorenz | ActionParsnip, oops, top right | 06:07 |
| NiS | i downloaded the ccsm as said, for the super+tab effect. While enabling, it keeps asking me to resolve conflicts with others? what to do? | 06:07 |

| lu5tic | thank you r0fs... i understood just wast sure how to navigate to my desktop what the command would be THANK YOU | 06:10 |
| lu5tic | i love this chat room | 06:10 |
| ActionParsnip | NiS: not at all | 06:10 |
| ActionParsnip | NiS: if you set a shortcut, then try and set another action to it, you will generate a conflict.How is that a bug? | 06:11 |
| r0fs3ck5 | lu5tic: make sure you use capital 'D' for Desktop | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | r0fs3ck5: can dmg be mounted? | 06:11 |
| NiS | as i am typing in empathys window, when the line reaches the limit, instead of having a new line on the chat window the window keeps expanding to the left, and out of the screen! whats this! | 06:11 |
| NiS | but i disabled the other plugin! | 06:12 |
| usr_ | hellok, I just upgrade to the new ubuntu version. I used to have several icons in the menu bar. How can I restore them? Also, how can I move the new bar to the right side of the screen instead of the left? | 06:12 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: Run this in a terminal then pastebin the new contents of /etc/apt/sources.lst: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list-bak && sudo sed -i 's#http://76.73.4.58/ubuntu/#http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/#g' /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:12 |

| ghostnik11 | actionparsnip: i am going to do it right now, but just wanted to see if people were experiencing problems, as i won't be able to back up my programs, but will back up reports and see what happens | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | r0fs3ck5: you also forgot the mount point, soit won'twork ;) | 06:12 |

| visual1ce | i have some mp3 lectures that wont play in ubuntu but play in windows 7... how should i go about finding out why? | 06:14 |
| WXZ | ActionParsnip: I don't know | 06:14 |
| EGuinn | visual1ce: google search for MP3 codecs for Ubuntu | 06:15 |
| NiS | you probably dont have the plugin for mp3 installed | 06:15 |
| ActionParsnip | WXZ: when you plug in the wire, do you expect it to configure automatically? | 06:15 |
| visual1ce | opens up in vlc but no audio from the speakers | 06:15 |
| visual1ce | doesn't vlc have mp3 codec? | 06:15 |

| EGuinn | visual1ce: okay, just wondering. | 06:16 |
| intok | 11.04 w/ Gnime 2, how can I get my scroll bars back? They are still thereish, but they aren't visible, and changing the theme doesn't make them visible either | 06:16 |

| EGuinn | ActionParsnip: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/natty/beta | 06:23 |
| EGuinn | ActionParsnip: I was getting the information off of that URL. | 06:23 |
| ActionParsnip | EGuinn: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 06:23 |
| EGuinn | ActionParsnip: Hm. They should take down the beta page then. That had me confused. Sorry. | 06:24 |
| NiS | okay, i dont mind, someone just answer the question! Its so weird, the windows expands as i type | 06:24 |

| ActionParsnip | EGuinn: no worries dude :) | 06:25 |
| EGuinn | NiS: I was just under the apparently rediculous impression that natty was beta, and that you should report the bug. But Mr ActionParsnip corrected me quite well. | 06:25 |
| NiS | okay. can i downgrade to 10.10/ this is giving me a lot of problems! | 06:25 |

| EGuinn | van7hu: lol no. I live in alaska. | 06:30 |
| EGuinn | ActionParsnip: Hm. I thought there was a tool that helped you with that in 10.10. I could be mistaken though. | 06:30 |
| van7hu | EGuinn, is it cold now? | 06:30 |
| NiS | boxbeatsy: if you want jdk, (i just did!) then just go to synaptic package manager and download it from there | 06:30 |
| EGuinn | ActionParsnip: He said he was a new user, command line might be a bit much, so I just thought to help. | 06:30 |

| intok | EGuinn ActionParsnip If I put the box in hibernation when I try to rewake it everything starts up, till I should be prompted with the locked screen, but I get nothing but a blank screen. Getting sleep would be an acceptable outcome though, since I've never gotten it to enter sleep, only hibernation. | 06:36 |

| ActionParsnip | saidian: how are they shared? | 06:38 |
| mean_admin | can I create iptables rules that use DNS lookup instead of solely use IP ? or do I need to write a script ? | 06:38 |
| EGuinn | saidian: what do you mean mac shares? | 06:38 |
| intok | EGuinn ActionParsnip No, I'm using the unofficial PowerPC build on an old Mac, it's the only box I currently have... 10.10 worked well on it though | 06:38 |

| ShayGuy | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605066/ Look good to you? | 06:39 |
| EGuinn | saidian: so it is networked file sharing. | 06:39 |
| saidian | yes | 06:39 |
| EGuinn | blaine_: you running server edition? | 06:39 |
| blaine_ | yes | 06:39 |
| intok | EGuinn ActionParsnip sounds like allot of that then, since I still can't make the scroll bars appear in Gnome2. Unity can't run on this old hardware | 06:40 |

| cybergig22 | ah so wheres the .config folder? in the home folder of my user account? | 06:40 |
| NiSarg | ?? | 06:40 |
| EGuinn | saidian: Check out some articles on file sharing with ubuntu. Search some on google. There should be some good tutorials. | 06:40 |
| stlrocker | anyone up for question on date and weather in natty classic gnome? | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | cybergig22: it's a hidden folder (names starting with a periodare hidden) | 06:40 |
| EGuinn | intok: that sucks... =P | 06:40 |

| blaine_ | I'm on a livecd, and can mount my LVM just fine manually | 06:41 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and comment out line 5 ("deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 11.04 _Natty Narwhal_ ..."). | 06:41 |
| EGuinn | blaine_: 11.04? | 06:41 |

| blaine_ | not what's installed though | 06:41 |
| intok | EGuinn ActionParsnip well they're still there-ish, if I poke around at ere they should be I can grab them, just can't see them | 06:41 |
| EGuinn | blaine_: Do you have any important data? | 06:41 |
| saidian | EGuinn: I did that's what's lead me here. I found a couple things on open-afp and something on samba but don't know what the best is. (also found some stuff on 'mount' but that didn't work for me | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | cybergig22: or you can just run: gedit ~/.config/autostart/name.desktop and the blank file will open ready for editting | 06:41 |
| blaine_ | EGuinn: yes | 06:42 |
| EGuinn | saidian: I will look about. | 06:42 |
| datakid | do people recommend squid or squid3? | 06:42 |
| EGuinn | blaine_: Well, can you get to the grub config file? | 06:42 |

| ubottu | datakid: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 06:42 |

| Sir_Gabriel | Anyone know why my file will not execute from another drive? I have good permissions and get a good ls on it. | 06:45 |
| blaine_ | EGuinn: yup | 06:45 |
| blaine_ | no grub folder to be found | 06:45 |
| madsailor | EGuinn, I have but am doing again for good measure. It is not the version from the repo btw | 06:45 |
| EGuinn | blaine_: Odd. Google for the GRUB file location with Ubuntu. That should help. | 06:45 |
| EGuinn | madsailor: That could be the problem. | 06:46 |
| saidian | EGuinn: That's good stuff. Didn't happen to run accress anything CLI, did you. The link was for a GUI connection. | 06:46 |
| blaine_ | looks like my grub is nuked | 06:46 |
| EGuinn | saidian: I just took a quick look. | 06:46 |
| Sir_Gabriel | what's CLI mean? | 06:46 |
| EGuinn | blaine: That... oh dear. | 06:46 |
| klia | hey guys | 06:47 |
| EGuinn | blaine_: You do have a live CD though? | 06:47 |
| saidian | Sir_Gabriel: Command Line Interface | 06:47 |
| madsailor | EGuinn, the version in the repo is OSE....different licence with limited features. I need the version from the Vbox site..PUEL | 06:47 |
| klia | what is going on today? | 06:47 |
| blaine_ | EGuinn: yeah | 06:47 |
| lorenz | greetings all, I have ubuntu 1.04 and I cannot enable the wifi network option on my gnome gui. My computer has02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) card and upon install i worked ootb about 6 months ago--about 4 days ago, wifi no longer worked. the blue light is on, but 'enable wireless' is greyed over--any ideas? | 06:47 |
| lorenz | 11.04 | 06:47 |
| EGuinn | blaine_: You should be able to rescue the system. | 06:47 |
| blaine_ | I'm hoping it's just as easy as re-installing grub >.< | 06:47 |
| sain | need help with wireless network. keeps crashing and only way to fix is reboot. | 06:47 |
| EGuinn | madsailor: You have good reasons then. I would not know the problem. | 06:47 |
| EGuinn | sain: does it give any error messages before it dies horridly? | 06:47 |
| EGuinn | madsailor: sorry. | 06:48 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: OK. Try "gksudo software-properties-gtk" again and change from the US server to the main one (as a test) and see if it modifies /etc/apt/sources.list appropriately. | 06:48 |
| blaine_ | I'm not sure, but I think I have to mount the root fs, and /proc, and chroot, and then sudo apt-get install grub... and configure as necessary | 06:48 |
| sain | no it does not. just hangs | 06:48 |
| klia | I placed my 11.04 on my sony vaio cd rom but can't get it to boot (un-compression error), I am running 10.04 , any idea? | 06:48 |
| madsailor | EGuinn, thanks for trying :) | 06:48 |
| NiSarg | just asking, in hte future, if all these bugs get solved, they will be available in the update manager right? | 06:48 |
| EGuinn | madsailor: np | 06:48 |
| justen5342 | @lorenz... is there a switch for your wifi on you pc?..(is it a laptop?) | 06:49 |
| Jordan_U | blaine_: You do *not* want to "apt-get install grub", that would install grub legacy. | 06:49 |
| sain | Any other way to reset wireless networking without reboot? | 06:49 |
| lorenz | justen5342, yep, the light is blue | 06:49 |
| ShayGuy | Jordan_U: Clicking "Close" gives me a popup saying "The information about available software is out-of-date," blah blah blah. | 06:49 |
| EGuinn | saidian: http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubuntu-as-mac-file-server-and-time-machine-volume/ <-- That may help. | 06:49 |
| Jordan_U | blaine_: Can you try booting the server (without the liveCD) and holding shift during boot to get to the grub menu, then at the grub menu select an older kernel? | 06:50 |
| === thereheis is now known as Guest56811 | ||
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: Allow it to update. | 06:50 |
| justen5342 | ok .. just wondering... i freaked.. and took a couple hrs but had a switch on the "laptop" | 06:50 |
| ShayGuy | Jordan_U: ...But /etc/apt/sources.list does appear to have been modified. | 06:50 |
| jawnv6 | my software center downloads are going very slowly, could I have something misconfigured? | 06:50 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: Good. Did it update successfully? | 06:51 |
| blaine_ | mmh... not sure, if I'm having a kernel panic, does that say anything about whether or not grub is broken? | 06:51 |
| EGuinn | jawnv6: are you using the standard repos? | 06:51 |
| cybergig22 | i'm going to see it it worked as soon as synaptic is done lol.. | 06:51 |
| justen5342 | @lorenz have you tried a "wrapper"? | 06:51 |
| jawnv6 | didn't change anything, added a ppa though | 06:51 |
| ShayGuy | Jordan_U: Not sure how to test that... | 06:51 |
| Jordan_U | blaine_: It says that grub is not broken (though there is a chance that it's misconfigured, that'f fairly low). | 06:51 |
| cybergig22 | Thank you ActionParsnip | 06:51 |
| EGuinn | jawnv6: there, that is your problem. The standard repos are very slow. | 06:51 |
| EGuinn | jawnv6: look for alternates, and you should be okay. | 06:52 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: Please pastebin your current /etc/apt/sources.list one last time, then pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update". | 06:52 |
| blaine_ | I'll try it, although, isn't it pointless if my grub folder is entirely gone? | 06:52 |
| jawnv6 | ok, fantastic, I'll look into that | 06:52 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: If both of those look good then you should be ready to upgrade. | 06:52 |
| EGuinn | blaine_: That would be a problem. | 06:52 |
| lorenz | justen5342, no I have not--the install worked out of the box six months ago--but then stopped about 4 days ago...you think a wrapper is the right choice? | 06:52 |
| EGuinn | blaine_: So I suggest trying the repair option on the install. | 06:52 |
| Jordan_U | blaine_: I doubt that your grub directory is gone. | 06:52 |
| saidian | EGuinn: Hum, getting warmer. That is for access the server from a mac. I'm trying to access the mac from Ubuntu. | 06:53 |
| blaine_ | hmm... this is interesting, when I chroot into my root fs, the initrd.img symlink is broken | 06:53 |
| EGuinn | saidian: That should give you the proper info, though. Let me take another look to the google machine! | 06:53 |
| justen5342 | lorenz.. you never know.. if you updated, i have problems each time.. . (downloading one now) | 06:54 |
| === Guest56811 is now known as thereheis | ||
| Jordan_U | blaine_: Ubuntu doesn't use initrd or vmlinuz symlinks. | 06:54 |
| blaine_ | even if you're using LVM? | 06:54 |
| === thereheis is now known as Guest60507 | ||
| Jordan_U | blaine_: Yes. | 06:54 |
| === Guest60507 is now known as thereheis | ||
| justen5342 | i think it's "NDISWRAPPER" that works with all most any wireless card..(but you need the driver) | 06:55 |
| ShayGuy | Jordan_U: All right, then. /etc/apt/sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605070/ apt-get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605071/ | 06:55 |
| EGuinn | saidian: Try samba out. Google it. | 06:55 |
| saidian | EGuinn: That is a good site though (saved it to my bookmarks.) | 06:55 |
| EGuinn | saidian: http://www.moixo.com/es/sharing-files-folders-from-ubuntu-to-mac-os-x <-- this will help you with Samba. | 06:55 |
| saidian | EGuinn: Ok, thanks. Will take a look. =-) Thanks for the help. | 06:55 |
| EGuinn | saidian: No problem, it is the whole reason I joined this channel, you know =P | 06:56 |
| lorenz | justen5342, do you think a re-install might fix it? | 06:56 |
| Jordan_U | ShayGuy: Looks good. Try upgrading (via update-manager or do-release-upgrade). | 06:56 |
| blaine_ | I do see a folder called /etc/grub.d, although it just looks like a bunch of scripts | 06:56 |
| blaine_ | no config file to be found | 06:56 |
| blaine_ | doing a find . -name "grub.conf" now | 06:56 |
| Jordan_U | blaine_: It's /etc/default/grub. | 06:56 |
| ShayGuy | Jordan_U: Fingers crossed! | 06:57 |
| blaine_ | Jordan_U: no grub file there | 06:57 |
| justen5342 | @lorenz ... VERY POSSIBLE.. maybe some packages didn't get installed right.. | 06:57 |
| EGuinn | blaine_: That sounds really bad indeed. | 06:57 |
| EGuinn | Jordan_U: You can just reinstall GRUB, right? | 06:57 |
| justen5342 | @lorenz.. but i'd have to know what PC you're working with | 06:58 |
| Jordan_U | EGuinn: Yes, but I'd like to first know why it's not installed currently (if in fact it isn't installed). | 06:58 |
| EGuinn | Jordan_U: That is a good point, though. While you could probably just rm it out of existence, you would really have to try. | 06:59 |
| Jordan_U | EGuinn: The fact that blaine_ is getting a kernel panic means that grub is successfully loading the kernel, so it doesn't sound like that is the root of the problem. | 06:59 |
| EGuinn | Jordan_U: If it is indeed a kernel panic... It may not be. | 06:59 |

| justen5342 | lorenz, how did you install ubuntu?.. from boot?.. or with the windows "install disk"? | 07:02 |
| ActionParsnip | EGuinn: maybe s/he is using grub legacy then | 07:02 |
| lorenz | justen5342, ubuntu live cd with the gui | 07:03 |
| EGuinn | Well all, have fun solving problems, I am off. | 07:03 |
| justen5342 | Lorenz, is this the first time you installed it? | 07:03 |
| blaine_ | would it be bad to just chroot into my root fs, and update to the latest distribution? | 07:03 |
| lorenz | justen5342, ever? | 07:04 |
| blaine_ | and cross my fingers | 07:04 |
| justen5342 | lorenz, on this computer?.. | 07:04 |
| lorenz | justen5342, on this computer, yes | 07:04 |

| justen5342 | lorenz, i would attempt a re-install.. .. | 07:05 |

| yagoo | blaine_, redo those commands.. but use /mnt/root and not /mnt | 07:31 |
| A[D]minS | is it applicable to put server y also in proxy_pass ? which means if server X is down then it try with Server Y ? | 07:32 |
| iggy | p_res, they just look like they are going to work, but nothing happens | 07:32 |
| yagoo | blaine_, u can unmount to undo those mount statments | 07:32 |
| yagoo | blaine_, or simply continue.. and just add those mount commands with /mnt/root | 07:32 |
| p_res | iggy: try command for the application in a terminal. | 07:32 |
| blaine_ | ooh | 07:32 |
| blaine_ | I see what you mean | 07:32 |
| blaine_ | so it would need to be /mnt/root/proc if I wanted it the correct way | 07:33 |
| yagoo | blaine_, they're virtual anyways.. and ur chrooting to /mnt/root so /mnt/dev wont be seen anyways | 07:33 |
| iggy | p_res, i did, that works.. I need to get the properties of the icons to be such that they point to the right file I'm guessing | 07:33 |
| p_res | iggy: also try alt+f2 and then type application you wish to launch. | 07:33 |
| blaine_ | or the other way around | 07:33 |

| p_res | iggy: no deal. unity still to new for me to answer that. | 07:34 |
| yagoo | blaine_, the mount proc may have already been done by the live cd (there's /proc on /mnt/root/proc type proc (rw) ) | 07:34 |

| blaine_ | interesting | 07:35 |
| iggy | p_res, well do you know what folder contains the icons for the launch bar? | 07:35 |
| p_res | iggy: nope. | 07:35 |
| gaymish | iggy: have you tried removing them and readding them from your search results | 07:35 |
| yagoo | blaine_, btw is there a rescue option with the bootcd ? | 07:35 |
| iggy | is it like the start menu in windows maybe? | 07:35 |
| yagoo | blaine_, as i thought once the rescue would do these binds automatically | 07:35 |
| p_res | iggy: in what way? | 07:35 |
| blaine_ | uh oh | 07:36 |
| blaine_ | /dev/sda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. | 07:36 |
| p_res | iggy: perhaps try what gaymish suggested. | 07:36 |
| yagoo | blaine_, what command u trying? | 07:36 |
| woss | hello guys, i'm just wondering does anybody had problem with ubuntu 10/11 to connect to Microsoft Vpn? thanks | 07:36 |
| p_res | iggy: drag new icons onto the unity launch bar. | 07:36 |
| ma4oro | angel | 07:36 |
| iggy | gaymish, I haven't tried that yet... See in windows I'm used to being able to access the start menu folder directly from the explorer, I can also look at the shortcut file location | 07:36 |
| yagoo | woss, maybe that msvpn particular version is using ipsec | 07:37 |
| ma4oro | lkjn;lkm ;lk | 07:37 |
| woss | yagoo, if it's using ipsec what then | 07:37 |
| yagoo | woss, the client too? or maybe even pptp | 07:37 |
| p_res | iggy: i don't think unity works that way. | 07:37 |
| p_res | iggy: forget windows. linux is not windows. | 07:38 |
| yagoo | woss, ud have to check ur winbloze docs for that | 07:38 |
| gaymish | iggy: yeah i moved away from unity because it became frustrating like that and I am now back to gnome after similar frustrations to yours. from memory you could right click the icon and check its command | 07:38 |
| woss | yagoo, i think they said it's pptp | 07:38 |
| yagoo | woss, winbloze u gotta rtfm :p | 07:38 |
| adminewb | Having difficulty here establishing cause for my AMD64 based system to lock up booting that architecture for natty; tried to loopback mount a debian live squeeze amd64 as another data point, and so far there it succeeds to premount stage, but fails to find the live squashfs to mount so I end up at a busybox prompt; someone have diagnostic ideas? | 07:38 |
| iggy | well unity doesn't have a properties in the right click menu, which is really really dumb | 07:38 |
| woss | yagoo, :) | 07:38 |
| yagoo | blaine_, /dev/sda is not a partition | 07:38 |
| woss | yagoo, i have really old router, maybe it's not allowing that type of conn or what ... :?!?!$% | 07:40 |
| woss | :) | 07:40 |
| gaymish | iggy: adding new links to the menu worked?? like a link to terminal or something? | 07:40 |
| p_res | iggy: try right clicking in the regular application menu. | 07:40 |
| yagoo | woss, it could be that.. try seeing if u can update the router firmware.. and look into ur router doc for vpn support | 07:40 |
| iggy | gaymish, i just added xchat and it's launch icon works fine ... arghh | 07:40 |
| woss | yagoo, THANKS!!! :) | 07:40 |
| iggy | p_res, ok | 07:40 |
| p_res | iggy: try with non-working ones. | 07:40 |
| yagoo | woss, if u suspect the router.. u can try using DMZ for the client as a last resort | 07:41 |
| iggy | p_res, in the regular apps window nothing happens at all when I right click... | 07:41 |
| yagoo | woss, DMZ is insecured so do some homework on that(the client's address should be static for eg) | 07:41 |
| p_res | iggy: ok. | 07:41 |
| woss | yagoo, oki, thanks for advices, i appriciate, i'll give it a try | 07:42 |
| p_res | iggy: did you try adding new icons for the ones that don't work? | 07:42 |
| yagoo | woss, DMZ (option in the router that is.. DMZ may relate to something else.. but this is what i meant) | 07:42 |
| iggy | p_res, yeah, I dropped a new firefox in the launch bar from the apps window and it still doesn't work, actually the icon in the apps window doesn't work either! | 07:43 |
| yagoo | woss, (which should allow to demilitarize the linux client if that option is there) | 07:43 |
| p_res | iggy: no idea mate. sorry. | 07:43 |
| Laptop11-04 | hello i have a problem with my wireless card. when i installed ubuntu the card was set as UNCLAIMED under "lshw -C network" i cant seem to get it to work, i even tried to install a windows driver on it with ndisgtk but that failed. this card works under other linux distros. why wont ubuntu use it ?? | 07:43 |
| gaymish | iggy, sounds odd. u cant open firefox any more? | 07:43 |
| yagoo | Laptop11-04, u need ndiswrapper | 07:43 |
| iggy | p_res, the oooonly way to get firefox to turn on is through a terminal window... and it reads a funky error message | 07:43 |
| p_res | gaymish. is suspect PICNIC | 07:44 |
| yagoo | Laptop11-04, u need to do shell work if u ever want ndis to work under linux | 07:44 |
| woss | yagoo, yep, i had that on my other router, but this is so old and simple that it doesn't have port forwarding or any semi advanced features | 07:44 |
| Laptop11-04 | yagoo ok | 07:44 |

| klia | I placed my 11.04 on my sony vaio cd rom but can't get it to boot (un-compression error), I am running 10.04 , any idea? | 07:46 |
| yagoo | adminewb, wrong channel.. that's a grub2 ... BTW.. grub2 has its modules too... grub2's loopback module needs to be included during grub2 bootup | 07:46 |
| woss | yagoo, some motorola, sb5101e | 07:47 |
| adminewb | yagoo thanks for the tip, loopback module apparently loads itself up ok, as other loopback entries are ok | 07:47 |
| yagoo | woss, ? | 07:47 |
| yagoo | woss, that's not a router | 07:47 |
| adminewb | that's not the stage where it fails in any case | 07:47 |
| woss | yagoo, it's says on router(modem) that that's a model | 07:48 |
| yagoo | woss, that's a modem | 07:48 |
| woss | yagoo, oh, oki then :) i have to google for a diff :) | 07:49 |
| yagoo | woss, the router label is misleading.. I've seen "switches" sold as labelled "hubs".. | 07:49 |
| yagoo | woss, no need to worry about that modem.. | 07:49 |
| woss | yagoo, hahaha i preasume u r sys admin :) | 07:49 |
| yagoo | woss, ur PC is the only internet access machine in your home.. so your IP is a public one | 07:49 |
| woss | yagoo, yep | 07:50 |
| yagoo | (IP address isnt 192.168.x.x for eg) | 07:50 |
| blehhz | Can anyone help me with my resolution? | 07:50 |
| iggy | Anyone else know the way to fix a broken launch icon in the new ubuntu 11.04? | 07:51 |
| blehhz | I have tried all the resolutions in the nvidia x server app and none of them fit. | 07:51 |
| yagoo | blehhz, ? | 07:51 |
| yagoo | blehhz, does the nvidia logo display when X starts? | 07:52 |
| blehhz | I used the nvidia driver to select my resolution but none of them fit my screen the toolbar is half gone. | 07:52 |
| yagoo | blehhz, can u go a little slowly here? nvidia driver is not the app.. | 07:52 |
| blehhz | yeah, sorry. | 07:53 |
| blehhz | the settings for the driver i guess? Lets me pick the resolution for Ubuntu. | 07:53 |

| psypher246 | hi all, I have some pretty beefy hardware non my laptop yet fullscreen youtube (flash based) video on ubuntu natty is a complete waste of time, freezez drops frames (just crap), has anyone found a fix for this, seems to happen on every install I do | 07:55 |
| Braiam | psypher246: give a try to html5 | 07:56 |
| psypher246 | Braiam: just trying big buck bunny, yeah looks good | 07:57 |
| psypher246 | Braiam: so just flash then, any suggestions? | 07:57 |
| Braiam | psypher246: youtube.com/html5 i guest | 07:58 |
| yagoo | psypher246, what laptop model is it? | 07:58 |
| psypher246 | any sugestions on making FLASH work I mean | 07:58 |
| psypher246 | yagoo: dell xps 17" | 07:58 |
| blehhz | how can i find out what resolution i should manually set my desktop to? | 07:58 |
| psypher246 | fullscreen flashed worked quite mwell on my slower dell in maverick\ | 07:58 |
| eusid | Is the IRC plugin for empathy/gwibber in Ubuntu11 buggy? sometimes i can only join double pound channels ##linux sometimes both doubles and singles #css, however i can never join the channel #django. i am registered and identified | 07:59 |
| psypher246 | to be honest lucid was by far the smoothest flash playing OS | 07:59 |
| MacakMeow | blehhz: Do you know the native resolution of your screen/monitor? | 07:59 |
| Braiam | blehhz: get the specs for your monitor | 07:59 |
| eusid | blehhz: ideally you would be using the max available given you have a large enough monitor and good enough graphics card | 08:00 |
| psypher246 | Braiam: looking at the adobe flash plugin software center ratings, flash is an abortion | 08:02 |
| eusid | so anybody know is the IRC plug screwed for the empathy software in Ubuntu 11? | 08:02 |
| psypher246 | Why does this stuff have to regress so badly each new version of ubuntu | 08:02 |
| thegoodcushion | psypher246: are you talking about the free equivalents of Flash? | 08:02 |
| yagoo | psypher246, what's the symptom? you get freezes of what? audio and video? | 08:02 |
| Guest60327 | hi.... | 08:02 |
| yagoo | Guest60327, hi | 08:03 |
| Guest60327 | .... | 08:03 |
| psypher246 | yagoo: yeah video freezez drops frames, not sure about audio lemme check and confirm | 08:03 |
| thegoodcushion | psypher246: Adobe make a Linux version of their flashplayer | 08:03 |
| === joshua__ is now known as JoshuaL | ||
| eusid | i had trouble installing flash on maverick due to an old version being installed once it was removed and i directed myself (manually) to the newest vertsion everything was fly | 08:03 |
| Guest60327 | yagoo: you from ? | 08:03 |
| psypher246 | thegoodcushion: so u suggest the offical adboe version and not ubuntu's | 08:03 |
| yagoo | psypher246, how long u using linux? | 08:03 |
| thegoodcushion | psypher246: yep | 08:03 |
| psypher246 | yagoo: many years | 08:03 |
| thegoodcushion | psypher246: The Adobe version just plain works, and you know it's developed alongside the Windows version, which is the gold standard | 08:03 |
| Guest60327 | yagoo: ???? | 08:03 |
| Guest60327 | yagoo: ??? | 08:04 |
| eusid | i need a nice chm reader for unbuntu as many ebook are still in chm format | 08:04 |
| psypher246 | thegoodcushion: ok cool going back to their version, like i said lucid played flash very well, on ubuntu's version, but yeah this sucks | 08:04 |
| eusid | makes me think that should be a chemistry molecule filetype.....\ | 08:04 |
| psypher246 | embaraasing when a mac user stand at your desk and you want to watch a video | 08:04 |
| Guest60327 | yagoo: ????/ are you .... | 08:04 |
| thegoodcushion | psypher246: I can't play youtube videos in lucid using any flashplayer other than Adobe's | 08:05 |
| psypher246 | hmm | 08:05 |
| psypher246 | thegoodcushion: 32 or 64 bit? | 08:05 |
| yagoo | psypher246, can u pastebin the interrupts list? | 08:05 |
| thegoodcushion | psypher246: but the Adobe one works perfectly. If you can live with having non-open-source software on your puter | 08:05 |
| bullgard4 | How to determine the version of the currently used kernel? | 08:05 |
| psypher246 | thegoodcushion: meh :) I really don't care | 08:05 |
| elnur | I'm using Natty with Gnome 3. Today I've lost the keyboard layout indicator and can't switch the layout. Anyone knows how to fix this? | 08:05 |
| yagoo | bullgard4, uname -a | 08:05 |
| thegoodcushion | psypher246: 32-bit I'm using | 08:05 |
| Blue1 | bullgard4: uname -a | 08:05 |
| eusid | yeah awesome embarassing when you stand in front of the mac users desk andlaugh that he paid 3 grand for that hunk of shit sittin on the desk ^_^ that after all is bsd based | 08:05 |
| yagoo | Blue1, i beated u :p | 08:05 |
| Blue1 | yagoo: indeed by 3 seconds - also cat /etc/ issue | 08:06 |
| psypher246 | thegoodcushion: as long as it's free and not runing on windows, i don;'t care what license it has really | 08:06 |
| yagoo | psypher246, for many years u use linux and never checked the interrupts list? | 08:06 |
| bullgard4 | yagoo, Blue1 Thank you for your help. | 08:06 |
| thegoodcushion | elnur: my question is: How did you get GNOME 3 on Natty? | 08:06 |
| psypher246 | yagoo: what ahs the interrupts have to do wiht anything? | 08:06 |
| elnur | thegoodcushion: using gnome3 ppa | 08:06 |
| thegoodcushion | psypher246: well it's just that it's an Adobe binary - they don't give you the source | 08:06 |
| psypher246 | if I had issues with my other apps then yes there is ahrdware issue | 08:06 |
| yagoo | psypher246, maybe if there's the option i would turn off irq sharing in the bios | 08:06 |
| elnur | thegoodcushion: are you checking me or wanna get Gnome 3? | 08:07 |
| yagoo | nmind.. yo uknow it all | 08:07 |
| psypher246 | yagoo: maybe but why? everythign else works ecept flahs, then flash is the issue not my hardware\ | 08:07 |
| thegoodcushion | elnur: a bit of both | 08:07 |
| hidn_shadows | hey guys, does anyone know of any program that would allow me to draw on virtual isometric paper, including snap-to-grid? | 08:07 |
| psypher246 | yagoo: I have never had the need, since winblows 95 to check interrupts, thats so 90's | 08:07 |
| psypher246 | :) | 08:07 |
| yagoo | irq sharing didnt exist back in those days. | 08:08 |
| yagoo | noob | 08:08 |
| psypher246 | yagoo: a mucbn more logical solution is... flash is crap | 08:08 |
| elnur | thegoodcushion: i used these steps: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-GNOME-3-on-Ubuntu-11-04-194085.shtml | 08:08 |
| yagoo | shutup kid | 08:08 |
| psypher246 | yagoo: yes thats what i am | 08:08 |
| psypher246 | lol | 08:08 |
| psypher246 | not what I eman btw | 08:08 |
| yagoo | u know it all dont u.. i wont help u in anything. | 08:08 |
| psypher246 | meant* | 08:08 |
| thegoodcushion | elnur: I've been told GNOME 3 is about a year away from production use. Does that sound right? | 08:09 |
| psypher246 | yagoo: o....k | 08:09 |
| psypher246 | yagoo: all i'm saying i'm not a noob | 08:09 |
| yagoo | u are. | 08:09 |
| psypher246 | so CTFD | 08:09 |
| yagoo | u cant even do an interrupts listing | 08:10 |
| psypher246 | mmmm | 08:10 |
| yagoo | yah go google | 08:10 |
| psypher246 | sure | 08:10 |
| elnur | thegoodcushion: for me it's working pretty much good. the only problem for now is that there are little GUI system configuration tools, but you can do it via gconf-editor and dconf-editor | 08:10 |
| thegoodcushion | elnur: ok | 08:10 |
| thegoodcushion | Fedora 15 uses GNOME 3 | 08:10 |
| elnur | thegoodcushion: i'm used to .deb systems and don't wanna switch to .rpm :) | 08:11 |
| psypher246 | yagoo: so explain to me your logic then | 08:11 |
| elnur | thegoodcushion: so, no fedora for me | 08:11 |
| thegoodcushion | elnur: Yeah me too, but I hate Unity more than I hate .rpm | 08:11 |

| yagoo | pranav, meant "list" of software | 08:13 |
| liran | !unstable | 08:14 |
| yagoo | pranav, and "wikipedia" another keyword with it | 08:14 |

| iggy | Anyone else know the way to fix a broken launch icon in the new ubuntu 11.04? | 08:16 |
| N0BOX | holy /names, batman! | 08:16 |
| bullgard4 | liran: The Ubuntu versioning system differs from Debian. At the moment there is no "unstable version" in Ubuntu in the sense of Ubuntu. | 08:16 |
| yagoo | iggy, u mean the icon picture is not available? | 08:17 |
| wip_ | Hi, does the grub version in ubuntu support /boot with ext4 yet? | 08:17 |
| N0BOX | So, does anyone else have an issue where if you click to open a pdf file in document viewer from the dialog that pops up in firefox, the whole window manager stops drawing the titlebar and window edges on everything until you restart? | 08:18 |
| yagoo | wip_, should if its grub2 | 08:18 |
| N0BOX | oh, also, this is in ubuntu 11.04 using unity | 08:18 |
| elnur | wip_: i'm using grub 2 and ext4, but no separate /boot partition | 08:18 |
| yagoo | elnur, thats fine | 08:18 |
| wip_ | elnur: same as im trying to, but doesn't work:P | 08:18 |
| elnur | wip_: it worked for me out of the box | 08:19 |
| elnur | yagoo: what you mean that's fine? ^^ | 08:19 |
| yagoo | elnur, does / the default partition scheme? | 08:19 |
| thegoodcushion | psypher246: no, I use firefox | 08:19 |
| yagoo | elnur, cuse i havent tried the latest of ubuntu recently | 08:19 |
| bullgard4 | liran: Seen from another point of view, Ubuntu 10.04.2 is the most "stable" version of Ubuntu at the present moment (somewhat in the sense of Debian's "stable"). Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 are comparable to Debians attribute »unstable«. | 08:19 |
| wip_ | elnur: hmm im also using dm raid1 on /, but alt. install only claims grub2 fails. | 08:19 |
| yagoo | meant to ask a question | 08:19 |
| elnur | yagoo: sorry, didn't get your question | 08:19 |
| thegoodcushion | DirtyDawg: gnome-shell is part of gnome 3 | 08:19 |
| psypher246 | thegoodcushion: np i found wher i need to place the flie | 08:20 |
| yagoo | nmind | 08:20 |
| elnur | wip_: i have no xp with raid | 08:20 |
| elnur | wip_: maybe that's the problem | 08:20 |
| iggy | yagoo, no the picture is there, but it doesn't open the associated file | 08:21 |
| yagoo | wip_, dunno about this...but dont u need /boot partition for raid ? | 08:21 |
| N0BOX | ok, guess not... then, does anyone know of a way to reload the window manager or something without having to reboot? | 08:22 |
| wip_ | yagoo: as it's raid1 i shouldn't need to. but i do need to pass /dev/md0 as kernel parameter for root. | 08:22 |
| yagoo | iggy, oh that.. u mean it's not an application link.. with nautilus u should be able to rt/click file and change the default app | 08:22 |
| yagoo | iggy, if the app isnt listed then u'd need to know the X app binary filename | 08:22 |
| rzx237 | N0BOX: without logout too? | 08:23 |
| iggy | yagoo, oh.. I didn't know what nautilus was for | 08:23 |
| N0BOX | I've tried logout, it doesn't fix it. | 08:23 |
| yagoo | iggy, how do i know if u just installed ubuntu? | 08:23 |
| yagoo | lol | 08:23 |
| yagoo | iggy, dont get hasty with me | 08:23 |
| psypher246 | wip_: you need to install mdadm in your new install post OS install | 08:23 |
| psypher246 | wip_: so boot up with the live cd | 08:24 |
| psypher246 | mount your newly installed os partition | 08:24 |
| wip_ | psypher246: ye and choot etc.. | 08:24 |
| psypher246 | wip_: yup ooh ok have u done that alerady>?\ | 08:24 |
| iggy | yagoo, is nautilus necessary to fix the problem? | 08:24 |
| yagoo | iggy, you said "associated" file.. that's what you said. | 08:25 |
| maj- | does apt-get not work correctly for other people with the new ubuntu? wont even retrieve irssi | 08:25 |
| ThinkT510 | iggy: nautilus is the file manager | 08:25 |
| N0BOX | ok, I lied, logout fixed it, but it is fscking annoying to have to log out and back in every day or so | 08:25 |
| yagoo | ThinkT510, he doesn't know how to ask the question.. i suggest he googles his answer since he's arrogant | 08:25 |
| Scarra3 | What is the difference between unity and gnome | 08:25 |
| wip_ | psypher246: i normally run gentoo tbh:P but still doesn't explain why grub2 fails on setting mbr on manually selected /dev/hd[a-b] during install.. | 08:25 |
| yagoo | !unity | 08:26 |
| ubottu | 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. | 08:26 |
| iggy | yagoo, well I'm just wondering if there is a folder already for the icons that are in the launch bar | 08:26 |
| iggy | I could just find that folder and then right click on the icon in that folder right? | 08:26 |
| psypher246 | wip_: oh ok | 08:26 |
| yagoo | iggy, it shold take u to the default if u want to change it.. /usr/share/pixmaps... something like this.. there's a package for more free-extra i believe.. (package manager) | 08:27 |
| yagoo | thought u said the icon picture isnt the problem nways. | 08:27 |
| iggy | yagoo, I'm trying to get a Firefox icon to open firefox. So far the only way I can open firefox is by doing a brute force with a terminal window. | 08:28 |
| maj- | !classic | 08:28 |
| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. | 08:28 |
| yagoo | iggy, ............ | 08:28 |
| ouyes | iggy, add to pannle | 08:28 |
| yagoo | iggy, you mean desktop link.. u can change both if u want to.. | 08:28 |

| yagoo | iggy, the link works.. but u want to change the icon on the link | 08:28 |
| iggy | yagoo, the link doesn't work | 08:29 |
| yagoo | iggy, as i said u can change both.. | 08:29 |

| N0BOX | are there any plans for customization of the bar on the left side of the screen in the future (or now)? | 08:29 |
| iggy | yagoo, how can i make the icon open firefox when I click on it? | 08:30 |
| iggy | it just pulses and nothing happens | 08:30 |
| ilea | does anybody know a good aplication for recovering or cracking or removing the password from a rar arhive? | 08:30 |
| yagoo | !firefox | 08:30 |

| maj- | unity is horrible! | 08:31 |
| N0BOX | I used to use avant window navigator, and I liked some of the little add-on applets, such as the cpu load meter with top output on-click and the network usasge graph | 08:31 |
| EGuinn | maj-: What about it? | 08:31 |
| iggy | maj, why do you say that? | 08:31 |
| maj- | all of the applications are just thrown together under "installed", on GNOME it atleast broken them down into genres or purposes | 08:31 |
| N0BOX | you can get to the 'genres', but it involves a bunch more clicks | 08:32 |
| yagoo | maj-, i know .. isn't that so simple ! :) | 08:32 |
| maj- | simple for the developer, not for the user | 08:33 |
| N0BOX | or, you can right-click the applications button to get the old listing style | 08:33 |
| EGuinn | N0BOX: lol | 08:33 |
| iggy | yagoo, can you help me fix my problem? | 08:34 |
| N0BOX | sort of, anyway | 08:34 |
| N0BOX | the only thing I don't like about unity is the cvomplete lack of customizability | 08:34 |
| N0BOX | it goes against all things linux | 08:34 |
| yagoo | iggy, type the binary filename from a terminal .. if it doesn't fire then well u know what to do | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | N0BOX: don't use it then.... | 08:35 |
| yagoo | iggy, u new to ubuntu? | 08:35 |
| psypher246 | thegoodcushion: thanks dude, smooth fullscreen happiness. i should have thought of this before, been such a long time since i had to install adobe's version that I forgot that it was a solution back in the day, well in my case | 08:35 |
| EGuinn | ActionParsnip: Good to see you still here. | 08:35 |
| iggy | yagoo, I told you already that it opens in a terminal | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | EGuinn: i'm here most days :) | 08:35 |
| N0BOX | ActionParsnip: I don't hate it enough to not use it | 08:35 |
| iggy | but the icon is broken | 08:35 |
| yagoo | iggy, "it". | 08:35 |
| yagoo | iggy, i dont know what it is. sorry cant help u there | 08:35 |
| N0BOX | but I will say that it has definite room for improvement | 08:36 |
| iggy | firefox=it | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | N0BOX: you can use other dock type apps to replace | 08:36 |
| N0BOX | but unity is pretty | 08:36 |
| yagoo | iggy, dpkg -S `/which firefox` | 08:36 |
| thegoodcushion | psypher246: as far as I'm concerned, the Adobe version is the only version, unless you're a FOSS diehard | 08:36 |
| N0BOX | why can't I have pretty and customizable? | 08:36 |
| thegoodcushion | presumably they use the same codebase as the Windows version | 08:37 |
| iggy | yagoo, the latest firefox | 08:37 |
| yagoo | iggy, dpkg -S `which firefox` | 08:37 |
| unity_compiz | hey guys, i have uninstalled compiz (everytihng was ok) but after a reboot all my bars where away (left bar and top bar) | 08:37 |

| yagoo | no output. | 08:37 |
| yagoo | bye iggy | 08:37 |
| ThinkT510 | yagoo: iggy is saying the icon on the unity sidebar doesn't launch firefox, but he can launch it if he types it into a terminal | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | N0BOX: its a new app, it'll get some love soon :) | 08:37 |
| iggy | thanks ThinkT510 | 08:37 |
| N0BOX | ActionParsnip: exactly. I'm just making my suggestion ;) | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | unity_compiz: left bar needs compiz to exist | 08:37 |
| unity_compiz | so how do i fix this problem? | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | N0BOX: post suggestions on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com ;);) | 08:38 |
| EGuinn | unity_compiz: probably sudo apt-get install compiz | 08:38 |
| Blou_Aap | how can I get my window frames back in 11.04 ? | 08:38 |
| yagoo | problem solved.. thanks ThinkT510 | 08:38 |
| unity_compiz | ActionParsnip: i have ubuntu 11.04, the left bar was there before i installed compiz | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | unity_compiz: you can log in to gnome classic desktop and you should be ok | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | unity_compiz: compiz is in a default install | 08:38 |
| unity_compiz | ohhh | 08:39 |
| iggy | yagoo, I told already told you what ThinkT510 said, are you trolling me or what | 08:39 |
| iggy | -told | 08:39 |
| unity_compiz | ActionParsnip so how to i access terminal? | 08:39 |
| * yagoo ignores igg | 08:39 | |
| ActionParsnip | unity_compiz: CTRL+ALT+T | 08:39 |
| N0BOX | oh, yeah, that was a problem | 08:39 |
| EGuinn | ActionParsnip: So you are a fan of Unity, right? | 08:39 |
| unity_compiz | ActionParsnip i tired that already, doesent work | 08:40 |
| EGuinn | ActionParsnip: I should probably update my Ubuntu box to find out. | 08:40 |
| iggy | seriously, I come here for help, I get none | 08:40 |

| N0BOX | I had to uninstall (purge) and reinsall compiz to get unity to work properly | 08:40 |
| EGuinn | iggy: what is your problem? | 08:40 |
| iggy | nothing but trying to explain the most simple of things and to just get ignored... | 08:40 |
| iggy | EGuinn, I'm trying to fix a broken icon in my launch bar | 08:40 |
| iggy | I'm using ubuntu 11.04 | 08:41 |
| EGuinn | iggy: what is wrong with it? | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | EGuinn: still loving lxde here personally :) | 08:41 |
| iggy | it's a firefox icon that won't work | 08:41 |
| N0BOX | I tweaqked with a setting in the compiz configuration deal after my dist upgrade and the whole window system failed | 08:41 |
| iggy | firefox will only open through a terminal window | 08:41 |
| EGuinn | iggy: so you worked Unity how it said to, and just pinned it to the sidebar when it was running? | 08:41 |
| unity_compiz | ActionParsnip, EGuinn how do i start terminal without ctrl-alt-t | 08:41 |
| iggy | EGuinn, yep | 08:42 |
| EGuinn | iggy: And does it show the icon? | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip | unity_compiz: could use CTRL+ALT+F1 | 08:42 |
| iggy | yep | 08:42 |
| EGuinn | iggy: and the icon does not work. | 08:42 |
| iggy | thunderbird is doing the same thing | 08:42 |
| iggy | yep | 08:42 |
| EGuinn | iggy: You, my friend, have a weird problem. | 08:42 |
| MaRk-I | unity_compiz: alt+f2 gnome-terminal ? | 08:42 |
| iggy | yep | 08:42 |
| rghose | facing a prob with dhcp on ubuntu 10.10: cannto connect to the internet, connection unplugged? | 08:42 |
| EGuinn | iggy: Have you tried drag-drop? | 08:42 |
| yagoo | rghose, dhcp ? | 08:43 |
| EGuinn | ActionParsnip: does that even work? | 08:43 |
| iggy | and the Unity people don't know what's wrong either... yes I have | 08:43 |
| unity_compiz | ActionParsnip thats the black big fullscreen window, i was there before but what should i do there? | 08:43 |
| psypher246 | iggy: i have that issue sometimes when i mess with the icons trying to add custome launchers, loggin out and back in fixed it for me | 08:43 |
| N0BOX | what happened to the option to turn on the extra window effects like wobbly windows? | 08:43 |
| rghose | @yagoo: yes... my tikona wimax internet works with dhcp | 08:43 |
| EGuinn | iggy: Dang, man. That is an odd problem. | 08:43 |
| unity_compiz | MaRk-I doesent work | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | EGuinn: should do | 08:43 |
| EGuinn | iggy: I could not tell you man, sorry. | 08:43 |
| N0BOX | is that also disabled because of unity? | 08:43 |
| yagoo | rghose, tikona ? | 08:43 |
| iggy | I think it's got something to do with the way that Unity loads | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | unity_compiz: its tty, its not a fullscreen window. You can get back with CTRL+ALT+F7 | 08:43 |
| rghose | @yagoo: it's the name of my isp... works on winxp... used oto work on ubuntu 10.10 | 08:43 |
| psypher246 | N0BOX: I assume so, you can turn that stuff on in the compiz settings manager | 08:43 |
| maj- | woohoo | 08:44 |
| iggy | I wish I could reset unity | 08:44 |
| maj- | thank god for ubuntu classic | 08:44 |
| iggy | without logging out | 08:44 |
| maj- | i wish i could remove it | 08:44 |
| EGuinn | iggy: You can log in as default Gnome desktop... | 08:44 |
| iggy | yeah... | 08:44 |
| EGuinn | iggy: but again, you said without logging out.... | 08:44 |
| iggy | what a pain though | 08:44 |
| rghose | @yagoo: strangely does no logner work on my ubuntu 10.10: I am getting Network Wire unplugged message... | 08:44 |
| iggy | right | 08:44 |
| EGuinn | iggy: I think you are done for until they put out a new Unity... Sorry man. | 08:44 |
| N0BOX | psypher246: the last time I used that program, gnome/nautilus stopped working and wouldn't come up again even after reboot | 08:44 |
| yagoo | rghose, how are u connected currently? | 08:45 |
| EGuinn | iggy: I am guessing you went through all the steps of restarting, etc? | 08:45 |
| rghose | yah | 08:45 |
| psypher246 | N0BOX: eeesh, that has never happened to me | 08:45 |
| rghose | I am | 08:45 |
| iggy | I read something about doing a Unity --reset command | 08:45 |
| iggy | yep | 08:45 |
| psypher246 | N0BOX: that sucks, but try again | 08:45 |
| rghose | @yagoo: I'm on winxp with tikona | 08:45 |

| N0BOX | I had to reinstall compiz after purging it | 08:45 |
| rghose | @yagoo: it is working on this os | 08:45 |
| yagoo | rghose, windows no!! | 08:45 |
| psypher246 | N0BOX: ack!\ | 08:45 |
| yagoo | rghose, u said it was working on a previous ubuntu edition? | 08:45 |
| rghose | @yagoo: :( it was working on the current one! | 08:45 |
| N0BOX | psypher246: is this possible using the simple compiz config deal? | 08:46 |
| rghose | @yagoo: It would load the settings by itself... I never needed to twinker anything | 08:46 |
| EGuinn | iggy: I just did a search on it -- it seems that all sorts of people are having problems with it... | 08:46 |
| yagoo | rghose, weird.. | 08:46 |
| rghose | @yagoo: another info: it doesnt work on live cd as well... | 08:46 |
| yagoo | rghose, u sure its not the home base the issue? | 08:46 |
| psypher246 | N0BOX: I duno, not that i can find | 08:47 |

| yagoo | rghose, u said it worked on ubuntu.. wonder why all of a sudden it stops working | 08:48 |
| rghose | @yagoo: one reboot... and it wont | 08:48 |
| yagoo | rghose, is this correct? | 08:48 |
| rghose | @yagoo: well there was a problem with my internet connection once | 08:49 |
| yagoo | rghose, (am i correct that it ever worked on on the current ubuntu?) | 08:49 |
| iggy | EGuinn, yeah.. I've learned that many people are super pissed with it being part of the new ubuntu | 08:49 |
| rghose | @yagoo: some tech support guy came home and it worked on ONLY winxp ever since | 08:49 |
| rghose | @yagoo: yes u r | 08:49 |
| jlxsolutions | i gto a slight problem i think my Gparted has hung it self and i am afraid to touch it any advice? | 08:49 |
| yagoo | rghose, ok.. maybe it's a security feature.. did u check if he installed any software different? | 08:49 |

| yagoo | rghose, i can try to get it to work along | 09:16 |
| bin_bash | So is being told to install a problem that is obviously installed, as I wouldn't be able to use it and thus be having it cause issues if it weren't installed. | 09:16 |
| rghose | yagoo: nope... | 09:16 |
| rghose | yagoo: ok... so where do i start? | 09:16 |
| HypothesisFrog | adminewb1 replugging? I plug the sdcard into the card slot in the side of the netbook a couple of times. | 09:17 |
| yagoo | rghose, see if dhcp is using any new authentication | 09:17 |
| rghose | yagoo: thnku 4 ur time | 09:17 |
| rghose | yagoo: :) | 09:17 |
| yagoo | rghose, maybe wireshark might show the dhcp versioning | 09:17 |
| yagoo | rghose, its ok.. | 09:17 |
| rghose | yagoo: altrite | 09:17 |
| * usalabs is back (gone 00:01:18) | 09:17 | |

| === Nappz is now known as Nappz-Zzz | ||
| yagoo | rghose, turn off iptables (ubuntu) of course which i'm sure u do.. | 09:18 |
| adminewb1 | HypothesisFrog ok then could be a different problem | 09:18 |
| yagoo | (and turn tweak iptables on afterwards of course) | 09:18 |
| gucki | Hi! I upgraded to natty on two notebooks and both sometimes hand during shutdown/reboot, I only can power off using the power button. This corrupts my harddisk over time. Is there already a hotfix? :) | 09:18 |
| yagoo | rghose, btw, wireshark is avail on linux as well | 09:19 |
| ilon | how do i make grub boot into a resqueshell instead of normally booting ubuntu? | 09:19 |
| yagoo | rghose, how far do u get with ubuntu? u dont even get an ip correct? | 09:19 |
| rghose | rghose: i know that,, at the moment it's working on winxp | 09:19 |
| yagoo | (like ur not using dnssec) | 09:20 |
| rghose | yagoo: :P | 09:20 |
| rghose | yagoo: i never got the correct ip in ubuntu | 09:20 |
| yagoo | rghose, u know the difference between dns and dhcp? | 09:20 |
| rghose | yagoo: yah... | 09:20 |
| yagoo | rghose, u get any ip address in ubuntu? | 09:20 |
| rghose | yagoo: i got a local ip like 169.xxx | 09:20 |
| adminewb1 | ilon, do you get the grub menu on screen? | 09:20 |
| rghose | yagoo: not the one i should like: 113.xxx | 09:20 |
| yagoo | ok thats not dhcp-- 169.. of course | 09:20 |
| ilon | adminewb1: usual grub-screen | 09:20 |
| roderic_ | hi all | 09:21 |
| ilon | adminewb1: the list with options that is | 09:21 |
| yagoo | rghose, 169, auto self assigned local link.. | 09:21 |
| rghose | yagoo: hmm guess so... i have a route of a friend | 09:21 |
| yagoo | rghose, its standardized if dhcp fails the OS will try a local link address | 09:21 |
| adminewb1 | normally you can just press C for a command shell yes? | 09:21 |
| gucki | it seems other do have the same problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1745593 | 09:21 |
| rghose | yagoo: he's on the same tikona wimax | 09:21 |
| gucki | but no fix yet? | 09:21 |
| rghose | yagoo: take a look? | 09:21 |
| yagoo | rghose, look of what exactly? | 09:22 |
| ilon | adminewb1: yes, i want to boot a linux-kernel from the disk tho, and drop to shell instead of normal boot | 09:22 |
| rghose | yagoo: my friend;s route entries... they might seem interesting | 09:22 |
| ilon | adminewb1: i.e. only boot the primary hd, and drop to shell instead of login | 09:22 |
| rghose | yagoo: he uses tikona... and it works on ubuntu as of now | 09:23 |
| adminewb1 | ilon, so you're saying you want a single user recovery startup of the ubuntu system you normally start in multiuser mode? | 09:23 |
| ilon | adminewb1: yeah, thats the expression for it :P | 09:24 |
| rghose | yagoo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605112/ | 09:24 |
| adminewb1 | ilon isn't that already a menu item, paired with your regular boot item? | 09:24 |
| rghose | yagoo: my route on ubuntu does not have the 1st line | 09:24 |
| ilon | adminewb1: nope, not on this install | 09:24 |
| ilon | adminewb1: oh well, will just RTFM :D | 09:25 |
| adminewb1 | ilon, you could try tweaking your grub settings and update so it produces such a menu item | 09:25 |
| Dbugger | hello guzs | 09:25 |
| Dbugger | I need some help | 09:25 |
| ilon | adminewb1: yeah, will do, thanks for the help :) | 09:25 |
| adminewb1 | by default it does produce those | 09:25 |
| Dbugger | from this weekend, mz dual screen doesnt work in ubuntu | 09:25 |
| yagoo | rghose, does it take long to get a dhcp offer? | 09:25 |
| rghose | yagoo: yes | 09:25 |
| adminewb1 | sure ilon | 09:25 |
| rghose | yagoo: i tried 2wice or thrice | 09:25 |

| yagoo | rghose, can u check on windows if ether link is half duplex ? | 09:27 |
| kjxl9 | im trying to join ustream IRC | 09:27 |
| yagoo | rghose, i believe the network-connections dialog box may show it on the advanced tab | 09:27 |
| rghose | yagoo: ok... taking a look | 09:27 |
| yagoo | rghose, it may not be there .. not all of them have this tab... | 09:28 |
| rghose | yagoo: in advanced, I just get firewall | 09:28 |
| yagoo | rghose, if u dont have it there.. u may probably see it with siw.exe (safe to download) | 09:28 |
| rghose | yagoo: download it | 09:30 |
| yagoo | rghose, if u want to be nitty gritty, u can try dumping the entire "netsh show" command (eg: netsh show >myxpnet.txt) then paste that for online | 09:30 |
| MagePsycho | hi guys | 09:30 |

| yagoo | OO2u, edid is autodetected by the X server.. | 09:59 |
| yagoo | OO2u, if u use something like a kvm switch that can interfere with edid | 10:00 |
| OO2u | yagoo, the problem is that nvidia driver cannot detect this information. So i must set up it manualy | 10:00 |
| tuxx- | hey guys, what daemon handles the notification popups in ubuntu? | 10:00 |
| yagoo | OO2u, what's between the monitor and the video card? | 10:00 |
| OO2u | yagoo, edid channel | 10:01 |
| yagoo | OO2u, is there anything other than a direct cable? (like as i said no kvm switches?) | 10:01 |

| lil_pete | hey guys. does anybody have an idea, how i can use my keyboard-hotkeys (vol up / down) in VLC? | 10:06 |
| barf_ | yagoo: So reinstall? Can I debootsrap a 64-bit from a running 32-bit install then? | 10:06 |
| sunit | I am trying to create a cron job with out any manual intervention so that a file will be run automativally in some interval. Can I write shell script which will create a cron job with out any manual intervention ? | 10:07 |
| AdvoWork | hi there, got a client machines thats updated to 11.04. is there any way I can get the applications menu etc back along the bottom? | 10:07 |
| yagoo | barf_, probably.. | 10:07 |
| fuzzybunny69y | Hey guys is it possible to remove the workspace switcher lens in unity? | 10:08 |
| yagoo | barf_, debootstrap i know is stable for debian.. i dont know for ubuntu | 10:08 |
| lil_pete | AdvoWork: doesnt 11.04 come with a new desktop? it isnt gnome any longer afaik... try sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop, that should use your old settings... you have to select that on login | 10:08 |
| Mitsukaru | barf_, generally it's always a good idea to install the 64 bit version if your computer can handle it. | 10:08 |
| tuxx- | hey guys, i found out the gnome-panel handles the notifies send by the system. Is there any daemon that does support the same notifies which is not intergrated in gnome-panel? I'm trying to get some notification daemon to use under awesomewm, and it do not want to use the gnome-panel. | 10:08 |
| iridium | hi, I have a small problem, after the latest pidgin update from ubuntu, it works fine, but the notification icon on the task bar changed, and it doesn't update like before, showing the status or if somenoe answered, anyone knows anything of this? | 10:09 |
| thegoodcushion | Mitsukaru: that's good advice, but it's not what's on the ubuntu website | 10:09 |
| yagoo | barf_, how much ram u have? | 10:09 |
| lil_pete | does anybody have an idea how i can use my keyboard-hotkeys (vol up / down) in VLC? | 10:09 |
| yagoo | barf_, if u not using power hungry or more than a gig ram.. u wont see any difference going 64bit | 10:10 |
| AdvoWork | lil_pete, i didnt realise, thats pants | 10:10 |
| tuxx- | hey guys, i found out the gnome-panel handles the notifies send by the system. Is there any daemon that does support the same notifies which is not intergrated in gnome-panel? I'm trying to get some notification daemon to use under awesomewm, and it do not want to use the gnome-panel. <- think i found it, notification-daemon :-) | 10:10 |
| lil_pete | AdvoWork: Thats pants? whats that mean? (im not a native speaker) | 10:10 |
| Mitsukaru | lol thegoodcushion, it would be cool if the 32-bit ubuntu cd had a notice or something when running on a 64 bit computer. saying that the 64-bit version is advised to better take advantage of your computer's hardware. | 10:10 |
| thegoodcushion | Mitsukaru: yeah it should | 10:11 |
| lil_pete | iridium: you can set that up in pidgin... go through the settings, its a little hidden | 10:11 |
| thegoodcushion | I mean, I was going to download the 64-bit version, and this thing on the website said I should download the 32-bit version, now Ubuntu can't see 800 megs of my 4 gigs | 10:11 |
| Mitsukaru | it's nottoo important though | 10:11 |
| barf_ | yagoo: CPU is 2x quad core X3210 there is like 8GB RAM | 10:11 |
| Mitsukaru | where on the website says to use the 32 bit version? | 10:11 |
| yagoo | barf_, then why install the 32bit :))..hehehe | 10:11 |
| barf_ | configuring for vbox | 10:12 |
| yagoo | barf_, i say keep the 32bit in case | 10:12 |
| AdvoWork | lil_pete, im just not impressed how it changed :) is there any way to change some settings? issue being, in firefox, opened a new window(popup) and it got minimized, and the user couldnt see it, without alt-tab.. | 10:12 |
| Mitsukaru | iirc it says use 32 bit when in doubt. | 10:12 |
| iridium | lil_pete, well, a purple icon with an "!" appears, but it doesn't change, can be changed to the older way? | 10:12 |
| Mitsukaru | anyway isnt there a way to replace every 32 bit package with a 64 bit version and preserve all of your software and files? | 10:12 |
| yagoo | Mitsukaru, no.. | 10:13 |
| thegoodcushion | I reckon the 32-bit version should provide a distro-upgrade to 64 bits | 10:13 |
| lil_pete | iridium: sry dude no idea... i just know i searched those lil basterds forever trying to mute that thing | 10:13 |
| yagoo | Mitsukaru, thats why the 32bit might be ideal.. for those third party apps... | 10:13 |
| lil_pete | AdvoWork: just get ubuntu / kubuntu desktop... or, even better, xfce (sounds like your user doesnt see a taskbar anyway?) | 10:14 |
| deepak_ | Hi | 10:15 |
| deepak_ | i have question related to procmail? | 10:15 |
| sunit | how a shell script can create a cron job so that nobody will write in command line ? | 10:15 |
| yagoo | Mitsukaru, u can run 32bit apps on 64bit linux.. but not all 32bit linux apps would work | 10:16 |
| barf_ | yagoo: Keep the 32-bit? | 10:16 |
| barf_ | For what? | 10:16 |
| yagoo | barf_, yah.. | 10:16 |
| yagoo | barf_, dunno.. in case u need an app that wont run on the 64bit.. | 10:16 |
| yagoo | barf_, maybe skype | 10:16 |
| deepak_ | which i use DEFAULT=/home/user/mbox procmail fetches in deferent format , but when i change the name it fetches is some other format ? any idea? | 10:16 |
| Mitsukaru | oh, i know. you can get apt to give you a list of all the software you have installed, and then back up your home directory. then after reinstall 64 bit, use the list to automatically reinstall everything and restore your home directory | 10:16 |
| yagoo | though i believe that runs properly by now on 64bit | 10:16 |
| yagoo | (ia32libs package needed) | 10:17 |
| abhinav_singh | please tell me good download manager for linux | 10:17 |
| Mitsukaru | barf_, i wouldnt suggest keeping the 32 bit version. i'm pretty sure that once you install ia32libs, you can run everything 32 bit ubuntu can. | 10:17 |
| goethe | Is there a specific way in banshee to subscribe to more unorthodox podcasts? (i.e., those that seem to link directly to an Apple iTunes podcast) | 10:17 |
| yagoo | Mitsukaru, i dont believe all 32bit linux oss has been transfered for 64-bit readiness | 10:17 |
| yagoo | abhinav_singh, download manager? are u on 56k modem?/ | 10:18 |
| Mitsukaru | yagoo, open-source software (oss) can be compiled for any platform and likely has already been compiled for 64 bit | 10:18 |
| yagoo | Mitsukaru, not any platform but a good number | 10:18 |
| abhinav_singh | yagoo no | 10:19 |
| yagoo | abhinav_singh, download manager is so 1990's.. | 10:19 |
| abhinav_singh | but still for downloading large files i need download manager | 10:19 |
| abhinav_singh | yagoo: | 10:19 |
| yagoo | the only download manager i can think of is for torrents | 10:19 |
| yagoo | or ftp.. | 10:20 |
| Blou_Aap | I connot move my windows, It's so frustrating. not by title bar or by alt-drag combo | 10:21 |
| Blou_Aap | How would I fix this in 11.04 | 10:21 |
| Blou_Aap | ? | 10:21 |
| yagoo | abhinav_singh, there's plugins for firefox if this is what u meant initially | 10:22 |
| barf_ | yagoo: this box runs vbox headless, if I would like to run skype on it, I would run it inside a vm | 10:22 |
| barf_ | a 32 bit vm, i e | 10:22 |
| ComputerChic | Does anyone know where I can go to read the #ubuntu irc Q.& A. with Mark Shuttleworth? Or if I even can read it? | 10:22 |
| yagoo | barf_, ? | 10:22 |
| yagoo | barf_, headless? | 10:22 |
| yagoo | barf_, vbox cant be run headless .. what u saying? | 10:22 |
| rghose1 | yagoo: back again... network manager did not have any such option... | 10:22 |
| yagoo | rghose1, is this the default gnome applet? | 10:23 |
| rghose1 | yagoo: I edited /etc/NetworkManager/ some interface file... where there was a section on connection type | 10:23 |
| yagoo | rghose1, thought i saw it once.. | 10:23 |
| yagoo | nonono | 10:23 |
| rghose1 | yagoo: there I changed it to half (from full) | 10:23 |
| barf_ | yagoo: I controll the VMs via RDC | 10:23 |
| yagoo | rghose1, just undo whatever u did in /etc.. | 10:23 |
| yagoo | rghose1, u did? | 10:24 |
| yagoo | rghose1, and mii-tool shows half duplex? | 10:24 |
| ComputerChic | Does anyone know where I can go to read the #ubuntu irc Q.& A. with Mark Shuttleworth? Or if I even can read it? | 10:24 |
| rghose1 | yagoo: yeah.. I edited /etc/NetworkManager (not networkmagaer) / Auto\ eth0 | 10:24 |
| robin0800 | ComputerChic, its on omg!ubuntu! site | 10:25 |
| rghose1 | yagoo: I didnt use mii-tools... I thought this was the setting of NetworkManager (used by nm-applet) ? | 10:25 |
| Blou_Aap | I cannot move my windows, It's so frustrating. not by title bar or by alt-drag combo | 10:25 |
| Blou_Aap | How would I fix this in 11.04 | 10:25 |
| Blou_Aap | ? | 10:25 |
| ComputerChic | robin0800: Thank you :) | 10:25 |
| yagoo | rghose1, i believe i saw half duplex with the gnome-nm applet long ago.. | 10:25 |
| yagoo | but i may have been dreaming.. | 10:25 |
| yagoo | rghose1, mii-tool says what? | 10:25 |
| yagoo | Blou_Aap, be sure u set the proper options for compiz (ubuntu wiki) | 10:26 |
| yagoo | !compiz | 10:26 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 10:26 |
| rghose1 | yagoo: well it's not there now... in fact in the Auto eth0 file (created by NetworkManager I suppoz)... there were all suff that made me belive that it was those settings | 10:26 |
| rghose1 | yagoo: do i need to install mii-tools? | 10:26 |
| rghose1 | yagoo: Or is it pre-installed (on a default installation) ? | 10:27 |
| yagoo | rghose1, yeah.. there's another probably ethtool that may show it.. i believe mii-tool is th epackage name | 10:27 |
| freeman_ | how do i move the unity launcher to the bottom... ccsm isnt doing it | 10:27 |
| yagoo | rghose1, if mittol ask to remove networkmanager let me know.. | 10:27 |
| robin0800 | freeman_, you can't | 10:27 |
| yagoo | rghose1, ethtool may be another pacakge name.. | 10:28 |
| rghose1 | yagoo: ok.. thx | 10:28 |
| yagoo | rghose1, try apt-cache search duplex|grep -i net | 10:28 |
| yagoo | (apt-get update of course) | 10:28 |
| rghose1 | yagoo: k | 10:29 |
| yagoo | ComputerChic, see topic | 10:29 |
| yagoo | rghose1, k ... ? | 10:29 |
| yagoo | rghose1, manpage :) | 10:29 |
| yagoo | lol | 10:29 |
| yagoo | rghose1, http://linux.die.net/man/8/mii-diag | 10:29 |

| iridium | hi, I have a small problem, after the latest pidgin update from ubuntu, it works fine, but the notification icon on the task bar changed to a static purple ballon with an "!", and it doesn't update like before showing the status or if someone answered, anyone knows how to solve this? | 10:30 |
| freeman_ | robin0800, what do you think of docky? | 10:30 |
| yagoo | iridium, maybe their update server is down | 10:30 |
| rghose1 | yagoo: ) | 10:31 |
| rghose1 | yagoo: preparng another reboot | 10:31 |
| robin0800 | freeman_, I prefer awn | 10:31 |
| eitch0000 | hi, can anyone point me to some documentation on the PAM configuration in Ubuntu? I would like to adjust the wait time on ssh login, it is driving me nuts =) | 10:31 |
| yagoo | reboot ? | 10:31 |
| yagoo | why? | 10:31 |
| yagoo | eitch0000, pam ? | 10:32 |
| freeman_ | robin0800, how do i remove the unity launcher? | 10:32 |
| sergei | кто нить знает как в загрузочном меню местами поменять пункты | 10:32 |
| yagoo | eitch0000, that's more related to you loading the kernel module for the particular extension before thinking about configuration | 10:32 |
| sergei | в винде то оно понятно а тут только вчера поставил | 10:32 |
| eitch0000 | yagoo, which kernel module? | 10:32 |
| yagoo | eitch0000, the pam option needs to be set on in the sshd config | 10:33 |
| yagoo | eitch0000, for the "wait" time.. that's not really a pam issue.. check the sshd_config | 10:33 |
| robin0800 | freeman_, think you can only permanently hide it or use classic ie no unity | 10:33 |
| freeman_ | how can i hide it i meant | 10:33 |
| robin0800 | freeman_, ccs | 10:34 |
| eitch0000 | yagoo, I can't see any option creating a "wait" time in ssd_config. This is why I thought it might be PAM issue | 10:34 |
| freeman_ | i guess ill just get used to it being on the left | 10:35 |
| yagoo | eitch0000, u mean logingracetime? http://linux.die.net/man/5/sshd_config | 10:36 |
| eitch0000 | yagoo, no, not the time it takes till the login is dropped, but the time it takes till I can enter the password | 10:36 |
| mman | i want to create an alias for ssh connection. so i want to write: ssh $nameofalias so im doing: alias nameofalias='user@server' but this alias does not get saved | 10:36 |
| yagoo | eitch0000, how old are you? | 10:37 |
| eitch0000 | I'm on a LAN and connecting to another machine, I have to wait at least 2 seconds to login | 10:37 |
| yagoo | "<eitch0000> yagoo, no, not the time it takes till the login is dropped, but the time it takes till I can enter the password" | 10:37 |
| yagoo | eh | 10:37 |
| eitch0000 | yagoo, what on earth has that got to do with anything? =) | 10:37 |
| eitch0000 | from the manpage: LoginGraceTime - The server disconnects after this time if the user has not successfully logged in | 10:38 |
| eitch0000 | that is not what is bothering me =) | 10:38 |
| yagoo | eitch0000, how old are you? | 10:38 |
| yagoo | 14? | 10:38 |
| eitch0000 | yagoo, again, what has that go to do with anything? we're not on a dating site... | 10:38 |
| Jasonn | xD | 10:38 |
| yagoo | you sound 14.. so that sounds fine | 10:38 |
| yagoo | there are worse things to lose than 2 seconds of your life | 10:39 |
| eitch0000 | yagoo, I might just be older than you, so please let's just drop the silly talk about age. | 10:39 |
| Jasonn | *dun dun dun* | 10:40 |
| yagoo | eitch0000, you sound 14. you dont need to pretend.. just relax and let this case go | 10:40 |
| eitch0000 | yagoo, I login many times to the system a day and I would like to change that. | 10:40 |
| yagoo | Jasonn, i smell something premature here | 10:40 |
| yagoo | eitch0000, upgraade to fiber optics | 10:40 |
| Jasonn | yagoo: yeah, me too, is it you? | 10:40 |
| eitch0000 | yagoo, I'm 28, so now you let it go | 10:40 |
| yagoo | Jasonn, I use fiber optic on my lan.. i wait less than half a second for my ssh logins.. | 10:41 |
| Jasonn | !ot | yagoo | 10:41 |
| ubottu | yagoo: #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! | 10:41 |
| yagoo | Jasonn, you do use fiber optics dont you? | 10:41 |
| Jasonn | yes. | 10:41 |
| Jasonn | 1gbit | 10:41 |
| yagoo | Jasonn, and how fast is your ssh login? | 10:41 |
| Jasonn | pretty damn fast | 10:41 |
| yagoo | Jasonn, i mean how fast does the password prompt show up? | 10:41 |
| Jasonn | but it costs like $500 to get it installed | 10:42 |
| yagoo | eitch0000, 500 dollars | 10:42 |
| Jasonn | anyways, just change the prompt time. | 10:42 |
| yagoo | that's the answer i guess | 10:42 |
| Jasonn | to like 10 seconds. | 10:42 |
| eitch0000 | Jasonn, what do you mean, change the prompt time? | 10:43 |
| Jasonn | change the time that it requires you to login in | 10:43 |
| yagoo | Jasonn, chage ? | 10:43 |
| * yagoo googles chage password time | 10:43 | |
| Jasonn | my server (offland) has 15 secsons, I set it to 3, but the logins kept failing. | 10:43 |

| danclark-au | yagoo: meow :-( | 10:47 |
| om26er | (or natty already does, not usure)\ | 10:47 |
| robin0800 | danclark-au, it usually means you need to change the graphics driver | 10:47 |
| yagoo | danclark-au, and backup /etc /var/mail etc.. whatever needs be.. | 10:48 |
| danclark-au | robin0800: I can't get to a shell to do any of that :( | 10:48 |
| FourDollars | Where is the main IRC channel for UDS? Is it #ubuntu-uds or #ubuntu? | 10:48 |

| sunit | I am trying to create a cron job with out any manual intervention so that a file will be run automativally in some interval. Can I write shell script which will create a cron job with out any manual intervention ? | 10:49 |
| danclark-au | yagoo: an update appeared and she clicked ok sure update... | 10:49 |
| om26er | diegoviola, next ubuntu, set to release in october | 10:49 |
| sunit | I mean the shell script itself will generate the cron job | 10:49 |
| yagoo | danclark-au, unless you're challenging or man enough to check things out with debootstrap and live rescuecd.. | 10:49 |
| sunit | nobody will write the cronjob in command line | 10:49 |
| diegoviola | Thanks | 10:49 |
| yagoo | or rather chroot&rescuecd | 10:49 |
| danclark-au | yagoo: I like a challenge, but unfortunately a little notebook pc without a cdrom drive becomes more of a challenge | 10:49 |
| robin0800 | danclark-au, reboot and set classic at logon | 10:50 |
| vibhav | Helooo! I have a problem , anybody to help? | 10:50 |
| yagoo | not really.. just make a usb boot copy of the provided iso.. | 10:50 |
| danclark-au | robin0800: I don't get login prompt | 10:50 |
| om26er | danclark-au, usb boot FTW :-) | 10:50 |
| eitch0000 | yagoo, Jasonn, I actually found the reason for my problems. I did google every now and then, but this time I was lucky: The solution was to set UseDNS no in sshd_config. So, no more flaming me, ok? | 10:50 |
| danclark-au | om26er: yes actually your right, thats how I installed in the first place | 10:50 |
| yagoo | modern debian/ubuntu iso should be usb-bootable in one or two step transfer | 10:50 |
| Jasonn | eitch0000: xDD Ok :D | 10:50 |
| om26er | (could it be that its set to auto-login(no password to login)) | 10:50 |
| vibhav | Anybody knows a good harddrive solution for UBUNTU? | 10:51 |
| om26er | danclark-au, ^^ | 10:51 |
| danclark-au | om26er: I suspect she ticked something to remove the annoying login prompt that she had to enter a password on every time it strted | 10:51 |
| vibhav | Anybody knows a good harddrive imaging solution for UBUNTU? | 10:51 |
| Nirkus | yay, creating an usb startup diskusing 1GByte of persistent storage takes like half an hour and asks for your password 4 times. :-( | 10:51 |
| mrluksom | vibhav: what do you mean? | 10:51 |
| danclark-au | vibhav: cp -R / | 10:51 |

| yagoo | vibhav, i heard bacula is for linux.. not just ubuntu | 10:51 |
| om26er | LAcan, reboot? | 10:51 |
| mrluksom | nevermind | 10:51 |
| LAcan | om26er, lol, i was looking for something easier, but ok | 10:52 |
| yagoo | vibhav, u want cheap and easy.. rsync -a /src /destination ... but has notthing special.. | 10:52 |
| vibhav | <yagoo> Does it image the hard drive or backup? | 10:52 |
| yagoo | vibhav, "image" ? | 10:52 |
| danclark-au | vibhav: actually tar will help also | 10:52 |
| yagoo | vibhav, u mean permissions etc etc? .. rsync can do that.. | 10:52 |
| om26er | danclark-au, run recovery mode from grub | 10:52 |
| danclark-au | om26er: ok I think I can get a grub console, whats the command? | 10:53 |
| yagoo | vibhav, if u mean filesystem imaging... then that's full filesystem imaging.. | 10:53 |
| vibhav | <yagoo> A disk image is a single file or storage device containing the complete contents and structure representing a data storage medium or device, such as a hard drive | 10:53 |
| robin0800 | LAcan, sudo update-initramfs -u and sudo update-grub | 10:53 |
| om26er | danclark-au, restart, and press and hold <shift> key before the boot process starts | 10:53 |
| vibhav | <yagoo> Understand? | 10:53 |
| yagoo | vibhav, then maybe u want that.. then the rest of the days use bacula.. | 10:53 |
| yagoo | vibhav, to restore u can simply use an incremental recover.. | 10:54 |
| vibhav | <yagoo> downloadingit now .... Thanks! | 10:54 |
| om26er | danclark-au, could you check the netbook model, i suspect it have nvidia | 10:54 |
| yagoo | after a full image.. for worse scenario | 10:54 |
| danclark-au | om26er: is the <shift> key part seperate to grub idea? | 10:54 |
| yagoo | vibhav, now bacula can be tedious.. it uses terms like "pools" etc.. it's meant for um.. professionals may i say.. | 10:54 |
| yagoo | vibhav, so do a bit of homework.. | 10:54 |
| yagoo | vibhav, i believe it does versioning as well.. | 10:55 |
| vibhav | <yagoo> ill try | 10:55 |
| yagoo | sort of like cvs.. | 10:55 |
| LAcan | robin0800, nah, i just wanna restart the service, not install it | 10:55 |
| om26er | danclark-au, grub is the boot loader which comes right after your bios screen | 10:55 |
| * LAcan What's a good security channel? Like oldschool #hack style...? | 10:55 | |
| om26er | danclark-au, so if you hold shift key you'll see grub menu and there select recovery mode | 10:55 |
| danclark-au | om26er: yes I gather that part, but the shift button idea you suggested is this to get into grub? I am already in grub by pressing 'c' while in grub menu | 10:55 |
| om26er | danclark-au, you dont have to go into grub rescue, | 10:56 |
| danclark-au | om26er: I have grub> prompt | 10:57 |
| om26er | danclark-au, just hold the shift key there and select 'ubuntu, with linux 2.6.8.xx (recovery mode)' | 10:57 |
| om26er | danclark-au, you might want to reboot again | 10:57 |
| robin0800 | LAcan, depends on what changes you made to fstab you need those commands to make changes persistent | 10:58 |
| danclark-au | om26er: ok I've held shift and pressed recovery mode, it boots up just past EXT4-fs blaa blaa, then /scripts/local-bottom ... done | 10:58 |
| danclark-au | om26er: then freezes :)( | 10:58 |
| robin0800 | danclark-au, think your looking at a reinstall then | 10:59 |
| danclark-au | om26er: do I let go of <shift> pretty much as soon as I've pressed <enter> on the menu item? | 11:00 |
| danclark-au | om26er: its up to Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done. | 11:00 |
| robin0800 | danclark-au, yes | 11:00 |
| sahip | danclark-au, what dm do you use? | 11:00 |
| danclark-au | sahip: dm.. | 11:00 |
| danclark-au | sahip: dm? | 11:01 |
| sahip | danclark-au, display manager | 11:01 |
| sahip | danclark-au, | 11:01 |
| sahip | danclark-au, login manager | 11:01 |
| danclark-au | lol ok | 11:01 |
| danclark-au | .. | 11:01 |
| danclark-au | I don't quite understand why its freezing at the error dialog, it has a Close button but it doesn't allow me to press it | 11:02 |
| om26er_ | danclark-au, pick the netbook up and look for the model number so that I am sure if it has nvidia or something else | 11:02 |
| rghose | yagoo: strange results | 11:03 |

| rghose | yagoo: status was no link | 11:04 |
| yagoo | rghose, but it get's disabled upon reboot of course | 11:04 |

| rghose | yagoo: but something about the /etc/network/interfaces | 11:08 |
| rghose | yagoo: the file does not contain any entry for eth0 there's only a lo option there | 11:09 |
| yagoo | rghose, just stick with everything u were ever telling me before.. | 11:09 |
| root__ | using BT4 R2 on VMWARE | 11:09 |
| root__ | :P | 11:09 |
| yagoo | rghose, i already said .. interfaces is not NetworkManager.. | 11:09 |
| rghose | yagoo: okay... | 11:09 |
| root__ | lol Flannel ok | 11:09 |
| yagoo | rghose, use one or the other.. if using interfaces.. then u dont use any gui tool (the gui tools use NetworkManager daemon) | 11:10 |
| rghose | yagoo: yah... i get that... i thought perhaps dhclient needs that file? | 11:10 |
| root__ | i got ubuntu too | 11:10 |

| sahip | yagoo, which one for wicd? | 11:11 |
| rghose | yagoo: okay so here's what I'll do now: 1. do mii-tools with force... 2. do iptables -F and 3. dhclient | 11:11 |
| rghose | yagoo: is that correct? | 11:11 |
| yagoo | rghose, u can use the the gui if u want.. in order not to use NM u'll need to check yadayada.. | 11:12 |
| alex6567|2 | hello all! how rename my machine name? | 11:12 |
| alex6567|2 | anybody know? | 11:12 |
| yagoo | rghose, just use the method u were telling me.. the gui thing.. | 11:13 |
| rghose | yagoo: i just need it to work! | 11:13 |
| yagoo | rghose, 1.2.<is good, 3.gui thingy | 11:13 |
| LAcan | alex6567|2, ubuntu tweak is the simplest way. install it from the repos | 11:13 |
| rghose | yagoo: ok... i'll disable and re-enable from the gui ... as the final step | 11:13 |
| alex6567|2 | ubuntu@ubuntu-machine:~/$ | 11:14 |
| yagoo | rghose, if the dhcp fails.. check to see what mii-tool says if HDuplex is still set.. if not then let me know.. | 11:14 |
| alex6567|2 | rename to ubuntu@ubuntu-virtual-machine:~/projects/gtkmm$ | 11:14 |
| alex6567|2 | for example | 11:14 |

| ubottu | alex6567|2: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 11:14 |

| go8765 | someone - help me please to mange my sound. i have it only in vlc and banshee (and this is non volume level problem) | 11:37 |
| LAcan | yagoo, i used the credentials in my fstab file | 11:37 |
| yagoo | LAcan, did u verify the server side? | 11:37 |
| yagoo | LAcan, did it actually "write" ? | 11:37 |
| LAcan | yagoo, yes | 11:37 |
| LAcan | it writes | 11:37 |
| yagoo | LAcan, so I'm guessing right now u'r testing just 1 smb user | 11:38 |
| yagoo | your problem is uid,gid with smb mount options | 11:38 |
| jwstolk | robin0800, I added "HorizSync 28-73" to a monitor section in xorg.conf, and now it works. Thanks! (have not tried DVI yet) | 11:38 |
| LAcan | yagoo, yes i think, in laymans terms, that I need to map the server user, cisco-vix, to my client user | 11:38 |
| robin0800 | go8765, what sound are you missing? | 11:38 |
| yagoo | LAcan, ?????????? | 11:39 |
| yagoo | LAcan, you don't think if you're guessing | 11:39 |
| yagoo | LAcan, let me explain to use about fuse filesystems | 11:39 |
| go8765 | robin0800, , sorry... but my english is bed and i dont understand your masage... you mean - in what applications i have no sound? | 11:39 |
| Moopz | Hey. I have this problem whenever I put my laptop into sleep mode, so when I enter Ubuntu after sleep, one of the cores is always at 100%. cmd top gives that gvfs-afc-volume is using 100% CPU. How do I fix this? | 11:40 |
| robin0800 | go8765, yes | 11:40 |
| yagoo | LAcan, fuse filesystems are virtual.. they dont have to be labelled as network filesystem standards.. | 11:40 |
| go8765 | robin0800, opera,voltiand volumeicon crushed, foobnix, totem | 11:41 |
| yagoo | LAcan, the idea of a single "/" seemingly like filesystem allows the user transparency.. this "user" is simply called "user"... when someone says "smb user" they don't mean the local phyiscal machine.. but a "user" login name that has to be typed for the remote server | 11:42 |
| LAcan | ... great now fastorward to something useful | 11:43 |
| go8765 | robin0800, volti try to manage some virtual sound card and crushed | 11:43 |
| yagoo | so when I say "smb user" .. I'm not talking about the "native" host machine on the client machine... | 11:43 |
| go8765 | robin0800, foobnix - crushed | 11:43 |
| go8765 | robin0800, totem have no volume regulate icon | 11:44 |
| yagoo | or rather native OS on the client machine.. | 11:44 |
| robin0800 | go8765, do you have sound effects turned up | 11:45 |
| CORNEX | Hi, I'm trying to put a timeout in C programming for the ttyS0 read function with Vtime and Vmin but it doesn't work. Do you have an idea ? | 11:45 |
| naep | hi, ive got this problem, ive upgraded to ubutnu 11.04 from 10 and since then my wifi stopped working (it worked perfectly back in 10) could anyone help me, thanx | 11:45 |
| go8765 | robin0800, yes i have sondeffects few minutes ago in xchat but now i m nit shure that i have it... | 11:46 |
| LAcan | naep, does the wifi card show up in network manager? | 11:46 |
| Note-book | Natty is messed up for me after applying the "recommended" Nvidia drivers. Since then I haven't had any luck with fixing it. I tried removing nvidia-current and removing xorg.conf and restarting my session but to no avail. My windows don't have titlebars and there's no transparency either. Windows lose focus if I remove the mouse from them. | 11:46 |
| yagoo | LAcan, smb is not samba.. that's what confuses you.. check wikipedia if you're still confused.. | 11:46 |
| sacarlson | I get: pycurl.error: (60, 'server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none') that I'm told uses the curl lib in ubuntu 10.04, how do I add more cert to support startcom.com signed sites or other in curl? | 11:46 |
| LAcan | yagoo, i never used the word SAMBA | 11:46 |
| naep | LAcan: how can i find out? | 11:46 |
| LAcan | naep, i dont use 11.04 but there should be a network applet in your systray somewhere | 11:47 |
| yagoo | LAcan, you're confused when i say "smb user".. think im talking about the linux side.. samba implies linux | 11:47 |
| LAcan | naep, if not, try running "gksudo nm-applet" | 11:47 |
| go8765 | robin0800, yes i really have sound efects now | 11:47 |
| yagoo | (samba) is just a toolset that only exists on linux.. smb is the protocol.. so hence smb client and smb server talk to each other.. | 11:48 |
| yagoo | so when i say "smb user" this doesnt mean "samba user".. there.. | 11:48 |
| go8765 | robin0800, i see thep i have mute in gnome-alsamixer | 11:48 |
| Note-book | LAcan, can you please help me out? My system is unusable :( | 11:48 |
| yagoo | yada.. even some professionals mistaken that.. | 11:48 |
| go8765 | robin0800, but in totem and opera - i have no sound... | 11:48 |
| naep | LAcan: it says the program is already running, ive got a button right on my lapton, which should become blue after pressing it, it doesnt do anything in ubuntu 11.04 (it worked ok in 10) | 11:48 |
| yagoo | if ur running a samba server.. then it's probably easier to address this saying "samba user".. | 11:49 |
| robin0800 | go8765, check alsa mixer | 11:49 |
| LAcan | naep, i dont care about your laptop buttons. look for the network manager applet in your systray or panels. | 11:49 |
| naep | yeah there is one, wireless network is shadowed | 11:50 |
| LAcan | naep, ok, open the file /etc/networks/interfaces as root | 11:50 |
| yagoo | naep, dont | 11:50 |
| robin0800 | naep, firmware missing? | 11:50 |
| yagoo | naep, u using the network gui icon? | 11:50 |
| LAcan | lol w/e | 11:50 |
| LAcan | YAGOO U NEED TO STFU AND MYOB. | 11:50 |
| yagoo | LAcan, ur new to this.. | 11:50 |
| LAcan | yagoo, and your useless at this | 11:51 |
| yagoo | LAcan, ur doing everything wrong here.. i suggest u fix ur share mountpoint.. dont take offense.. beeen doing this for years | 11:51 |
| naep | says its hardware disabled.... | 11:51 |
| yagoo | so chill and fix ur mountpoint | 11:51 |
| IdleOne | yagoo: he has been removed | 11:51 |
| petsounds | Note-book, i think i have the same problem, what i do here is installing 173 driver and all is 'ok' but slower. | 11:51 |
| yagoo | naep, first thing.. is if the driver is working | 11:51 |
| go8765 | robin0800, i check it , but totem, volumeicon and volti dont work..... | 11:51 |
| yagoo | naep, ifconfig -a lists ur interface? | 11:51 |
| cosmodad | I just noticed tracker-store's "tracker-store.journal" file under $HOME/.local/share/tracker/data to be extremely large (several GBs on my machine) -- can I reduce/limit the size somehow? | 11:52 |
| Note-book | petsounds, I tried installing EVERY driver but this time, it won't fix :( What did you do, exactly? | 11:52 |
| go8765 | robin0800, in opera i hawe sound now | 11:52 |
| naep | yagoo: yeah wlan0 is listed | 11:52 |
| IdleOne | LAcan: Please watch your tone, attitude and language in Ubuntu channels. | 11:52 |
| yagoo | naep, can u do a scan with the iwlist command ? | 11:52 |
| LAcan | IdleOne, ya w/e | 11:52 |
| LAcan | kids a douche | 11:52 |
| IdleOne | LAcan: w/e is what ever? | 11:52 |
| petsounds | Note-book, what i do is just installing 173 driver instead of 270. thats all | 11:53 |
| naep | yagoo: i tried "iwlist wlan0 scanning", it says failed to read scan data : network is down | 11:53 |
| bigDog | hi everyone - i have successfully installed ubuntu server 11.04 without a problem. i use iptables for nat (sudo iptables -t nat -A yadda yadda yadda -j...) the problem is, every time the server reboots, the custom iptables commands are lost. i tried an ubuntu iptables tutorial and it didn't work - so i reformatted the server and started again. tried another tutorial - still no joy so i am now | 11:54 |
| bigDog | on my 3rd reformat & reinstall (almost finished now). has anyone succsessfully been able to do an auto-executing startup script for custom iptables setup at boot? could you share how you did it? | 11:54 |

| bazhang | researcher, they are | 13:30 |
| mathews | pythonirc101: tell ur problem | 13:30 |
| ThinkT510 | researcher: yup, need any help? | 13:30 |
| researcher | bazhang: ok,thanks | 13:30 |
| researcher | how to record sound from headphone | 13:30 |
| Nirkus | i can fix problem a by editiing the menu entry and reducing it to modules part_msdos, raid, lvm and removing any other line besides seting grubs root and kernel + initrd | 13:31 |
| mbeierl | researcher: do you mean you have a microphone attached to the headphones or do you want to use the ear piece as a microphone? | 13:31 |
| pythonirc101 | I want to setup LTS on a vbox so that I can shrink and enlarge the hard drive space. How can I do this? Install LVM? | 13:31 |
| pythonirc101 | or just use complete hard drive while installation? | 13:32 |
| researcher | mbeierl: microphone attahced to headphone | 13:32 |
| mathews | pythonirc101: how much was ur HDD | 13:32 |
| Nirkus | after that kernel + initramfs boot, but drop a the busybox shell w/o mounting the rootfs. when i mount the lvm to /root it complains about unssupported features, claims to have completed recory and mounts my rootfs in rw mode | 13:32 |
| mbeierl | researcher: and you have verified that the microphone works? If so, there is a program called "Sound Recorder"\ | 13:33 |
| pythonirc101 | 32GB is currently | 13:33 |
| Nirkus | so what is going on? :/ | 13:33 |
| pythonirc101 | but i want the virtualbox guest ubuntu to be able to expand it later if need be | 13:33 |
| mathews | pythonirc101:u install Virtual Box | 13:33 |
| mbeierl | researcher: applications -> Sound and Video -> Sound Recorder (on a standard Ubuntu/Gnome) | 13:33 |
| mathews | pythonirc101:and follow the instructions | 13:33 |
| pythonirc101 | I have Vbox on win 7 host. I'm installing ubuntu as a guest | 13:34 |
| researcher | mbeierl: I bought new headphone.Never tried recording before this.I can listen sound but when I speak up nothing happens | 13:34 |
| afman | Does anyone know the shortcut for pasting on the console? I've found a bunch on google but none of them seem to work. | 13:34 |
| Nirkus | i have snapshots im my vg, but according to that grub2 wiki entry, the grub2 bug should be fixed since maverick | 13:34 |
| bazhang | afman, on the console or pastebinning from the console | 13:34 |
| mbeierl | researcher: does the microphone plug in separately from the headphones or is it a USB set? | 13:34 |
| sunit | How can I write a shell script which will run frequently ? | 13:34 |
| researcher | mbeierl: plugged in saperately | 13:34 |
| zvacet | pythonirc101: yyou have that by default during installation of Ubuntu in vbox give 10gb and select dinamicly expand | 13:34 |
| mathews | pythonirc101:ya its possible....VB available in software center | 13:34 |
| === LjL_ is now known as Guest63776 | ||
| afman | bazhang: I mean the keyboard shortcut to paste whatever is on the clipboard to the console. | 13:35 |
| === Guest63776 is now known as LjL2 | ||
| mbeierl | researcher: ok, did you adjust the volume controls for the microphone? Do you have the volume control applet on your panel? | 13:35 |
| soapie | afman: console? | 13:35 |
| mathews | afman: it is possible if u have center key on ur mouse | 13:35 |
| Pici | sunit: You can use cron to schedule your script to run at certain times. | 13:35 |
| soapie | you mean the terminal? | 13:35 |
| afman | mathews: Thanks lol. That was almost too obvious | 13:36 |
| mbeierl | researcher: or "gnome-volume-control" or Applications -> System -> Preferences -> Sound | 13:36 |
| wathek | hi all | 13:36 |
| === quiesense is now known as quiescens | ||
| mathews | soapie: a terminal is also called as console | 13:37 |
| mbeierl | researcher: from there, go to the Input tab. There you should see an Input volume control with a slider and also a Mute check box | 13:37 |
| pythonirc101 | zvacet: I clicked on LVM while installation and it gave me some defaults, just used them | 13:37 |
| Pici | !cron | sunit | 13:37 |
| ubottu | sunit: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 13:37 |
| pythonirc101 | how can i change my paritition to dynamically expandable? | 13:37 |
| researcher | mbeierl: ok.im trying | 13:37 |
| bazhang | pythonirc101, in vbox? | 13:38 |
| mathews | pythonirc101:there is option during installation | 13:38 |
| pythonirc101 | in ubuntu | 13:38 |
| mathews | pythonirc101:I mean set up before the installation | 13:38 |
| pythonirc101 | in vbox i've it selected as dynamacially expandable | 13:39 |
| pythonirc101 | but in ubuntu, how do i expand it when i expand it in vbox | 13:39 |
| researcher | mbeierl: what next | 13:39 |
| zvacet | pythonirc101: I think it is question after you dedicate space for guest you can choose will it stay like that or will it expand if neccessery | 13:39 |
| ThinkT510 | pythonirc101: if you are using the whole disk in vbox then when you set up the vm give it the max possible disk space you want to spare and make sure it says dynamically expandable (the install will then use up space as it needs it) | 13:39 |
| mathews | pythonirc101:the Ubuntu is inside the VB | 13:39 |
| waimondrio | Is it no problem to continue using your computer while it is upgrading to the new release (natty)? Or do you run the risk the upgrade will become faulty? | 13:39 |
| bazhang | waimondrio, sure its safe | 13:40 |
| zvacet | pythonirc101: that one | 13:40 |
| pythonirc101 | k, its installing the guest ubuntu now... | 13:40 |
| mathews | waimondrio: upgrade is active only after reboot | 13:40 |
| waimondrio | bazhang: Thnx for our response. It did warn, however, that another problem could arise: you could lose data of the programs you are using... | 13:40 |
| zvacet | pythonirc101: you will not expand Ubuntu vbox will do it for you if it need more space | 13:41 |
| waimondrio | bazhang: our = your | 13:41 |
| pythonirc101 | interesting | 13:41 |
| bazhang | waimondrio, doing what? surfing the web etc? | 13:41 |
| waimondrio | mathews: ah, I see | 13:41 |
| === XOXO1 is now known as Antwon | ||
| waimondrio | bazhang: editing documents etc. | 13:41 |
| bazhang | waimondrio, save them before you restart into the upgraded version | 13:42 |
| mathews | waimondrio: upgrade does not touch ur docu | 13:42 |
| dichtbijzee | hi, I'm using 11.04 and experiencing and process pid 8 kworker /1:0 is hogging about 60-80 percent of the cpu causing very much lag in my system, any ideas. | 13:42 |
| Dr_Willis | when in doubt - have backups. :) | 13:42 |
| zvacet | pythonirc101: it is virtual disc on your HD and vbox control it so it can be expandable if need more space then you give to virtual disc | 13:43 |
| waimondrio | mathews and bazhang: always continued working with debian, but now I wanted to know it for sure. Thanks for reassuring me... | 13:43 |
| mathews | friends pls type a name as short as possible | 13:43 |
| lumos | hi, i upgraded but now there are no icons on my task bar when i minimise, how can i restore minimised windows? | 13:44 |
| lumos | btw i'm not using unity but ubuntu classic with no effects | 13:44 |
| mathews | lumos: u selected unity? | 13:44 |
| lumos | mathews, no | 13:44 |
| con_ | hi all! I just got a new laptop and would like to install a fresh ubuntu next to windows (as I have on this machine here for some years). problem is: I can only have 4 primary partitions and 3 are alerady there: 'dell utility' ' RECOVERY' and 'OS' with win7 on it.. so the only solution left would be: make one large extended partition and put my data partition (ntfs, for sharing with windows) and an ext4 partition inside the extended one.. | 13:44 |
| con_ | can I install ubuntu on this extended>ext4 partition without problems or does this boot partition need to be a primary one? | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | con_: ubuntu can boot from extended/logical or primary | 13:45 |
| lumos | MatBoy, i don't want to use unity | 13:45 |
| waimondrio | dichtbijzee: where are you from? Ik spreek ook Nederlands... ;-) | 13:45 |
| lumos | mathews, i don't want to use unity | 13:45 |
| zvacet | con_yes you can instll ubuntu on extended partition | 13:45 |
| kyle___ | hoe do i check chmod | 13:45 |
| kyle___ | how do i check chmod on a folder | 13:45 |
| Dr_Willis | kyle___: ls -al /path/to/dir | 13:45 |
| dichtbijzee | waimondrio, denmark ;0, but i'm dutch. | 13:45 |
| mathews | lumos: u can drag and drop the application from the menu to the panel | 13:45 |
| Dr_Willis | !permissions | kyle___ | 13:45 |
| ubottu | kyle___: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 13:45 |
| mathews | lumos: and try from there | 13:46 |
| con_ | Dr_Willis: so there will be no trouble? I'd like to split the disk with gparted and then select the ext4 partition for installation... (sorry I'm a bit nervous ;) | 13:46 |
| Dr_Willis | lumos: you mean the window listing of all apps at the bottom pannel right? | 13:46 |
| con_ | waiting so long for new computer, dont want to mess it up ;) | 13:46 |
| Dr_Willis | con_: linux has worked from primary/extended/logical - for.. well.. as long back as i know.. | 13:46 |
| lumos | Dr_Willis, well i changed my desktop so only one task bar at the top but yes | 13:46 |
| lumos | mathews, i don't want ot have to do that every time | 13:46 |
| Dr_Willis | con_: only windoww and dos i recall had the 'gotta be on a primary' limitation. | 13:46 |
| con_ | ok. thank you :) | 13:46 |
| mathews | lumos: that is called panel | 13:47 |
| con_ | ah ok cool | 13:47 |
| con_ | nice | 13:47 |
| con_ | :) | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | lumos: theres a panel applet that may have gotten removed. add it back perhaps. | 13:47 |
| waimondrio | dichtbijzee: :-) Ah I see. See you, and "veel succes met je nieuwe ubuntu release." | 13:47 |
| Pici | waimondrio, dichtbijzee: FYI, there is #ubuntu-nl :) | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | 'window list' perhaps, i forget the applet names. | 13:47 |
| mathews | lumos: that need only one time and u can select the applicaations everytime | 13:47 |
| mathews | lumos: just like icon on desktop but it needs single click | 13:48 |
| lumos | mathews, what about when i want to run multiple of a program | 13:48 |
| pvh_sa | hey there, i'm on ubuntu 11.04 and when i plug an external monitor into my laptop the screen reconfigures, but the external monitor remains black except for the notification bar. if i alt-tab i can see the window list, but when i select a window nothing is displayed. any ideas how to fix this? | 13:48 |
| I-are- | I am getting an install error with ubuntu 9.10, that the disc may be bad and I need to clean it or burn it at a lower speed. I checked the disk integrity and it passed. Debian Lenny installs fine. | 13:48 |
| ThinkT510 | mathews: i think he isn't talking about launchers, but open windows | 13:48 |
| mathews | Dr_Willis: he has that panel there as he said | 13:48 |
| I-are- | Do I just need to reburn the ubuntu disc? | 13:48 |
| waimondrio | Pici: ;-) you're right, just couldnt resist greeting a Dutch brother (/sister?). Gotto go. Bye all! | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | pvh_sa: try running the monitors config tool? | 13:49 |
| Dr_Willis | mathews: i think hes missing an applet IN the panel. not launcher icons. the one that shows all running apps | 13:49 |
| wathek | I got a problem I've just upgraded my Ubuntu and when it boots I'm getting this : http://wathek.org/files/ubuntu.jpg | 13:49 |

| pythonirc101 | is canonical landscape service recommended to use? | 13:51 |
| one_ | gracias :) | 13:52 |
| pythonirc101 | or is it better to just install security updates automatically? | 13:52 |
| ThinkT510 | lumos: like Dr_Willis said, you need the applet in the top panel | 13:52 |
| lumos | ThinkT510, yes, do you know what it is called? | 13:52 |
| mathews | lumos: in gnome if u dont have a bottom panel,I dont think it shows any minimised windows on the top panel | 13:52 |
| ThinkT510 | lumos: window list? open windows? | 13:53 |
| ThinkT510 | lumos: not too sure sorry, i'm used to xfce | 13:53 |
| Dr_Willis | mathews: its totally customizable.. the min windows are shown by an applet. You could have one in the top and bottom panel if you wanted. (in gnome classic that is) :) | 13:53 |
| lumos | its cool everyone i'm looking through the repository | 13:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Just start adding applets :) till ya figure out what one does it. :P | 13:53 |
| AFD | anyone tried ElementaryOS? | 13:54 |
| lumos | thanks for the help | 13:54 |
| === debian is now known as Guest2398 | ||
| ThinkT510 | lumos: its installed by default, right-click and add to panel | 13:54 |

| Dr_Willis | I just ran gnome-panel in unity. :) what a mess. heh | 13:54 |
| mathews | AFD: no | 13:54 |
| stimpie | I have 'lost' the workspace switcher icon in the unity launcher, anyone know how to get that back? | 13:54 |
| AFD | @Dr_Willis what's your take on it? | 13:54 |
| lumos | ThinkT510, its not there is the problem | 13:55 |
| AFD | not looking for support - just reviews/comments | 13:55 |
| Nirkus | sunit: cron | 13:55 |

| achillion | red2kic: I fail to see the analogy :) | 13:59 |

| dichtbijzee | Eryn_1983_FL, try #ubuntu-server I think that's fatser | 14:02 |
| Pici | Eryn_1983_FL: Did you remove the plugin from your config as well? | 14:02 |
| mathews | wathek: describe ur problem in texts | 14:02 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | ok | 14:02 |
| stimpie | dichtbijzee: which kernel version are you using>? | 14:02 |
| Nirkus | ok, grub2 + lvm + snapshots is still broken | 14:02 |

| dichtbijzee | stimpie, any good alternatives via ppa? | 14:05 |
| mathews | wathek: if there any important data copy it using a live cd if it not corrupted and do a clean install | 14:06 |
| wathek | Dr_Willis, already done | 14:06 |
| mbeierl | researcher: sorry - I went away for a bit there. Did someone else help yet, or are you still waiting? | 14:06 |

| Dr_Willis | it seems to handle 'severe weather alerts' | 14:08 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | just wondering | 14:08 |
| bullgard4 | Dr_Willis: In Unity, ' Alt+F2' shows me a line of 5 icons. Among them "gnome-t". Clicking on this icon, nothing happens. What's wrong? | 14:09 |

| mathews | Zelozelos: may be but I prefer clean install | 14:09 |
| codingenesis | can't we have ubuntu and mint on the same hardisk ?? | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard4: should be one saying gnome-terminal evntually. | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: you could.. but differnt filesystmes.. | 14:09 |
| mathews | Zelozelos: upgrade of two release really take hours | 14:09 |
| wathek | mathews, Dr_Willis when I press S it says mountall : the commande playmount faild | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: you coul dinsatll a dozen disrtos on the same 'disk' each on its own filesystem | 14:09 |
| wathek | and it blocks | 14:10 |
| mbeierl | researcher: does the "Input level" set of bars show input when you tap on the microphone? | 14:10 |
| codingenesis | i have installed ubuntu from wubi installer and mint by partioining it... | 14:10 |
| researcher | mbeierl: no | 14:10 |
| bullgard4 | Dr_Willis: That's better. -- Thank you. | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard4: eventually the history feature rembers what you launch most.. so gnome-termianl will move up the list :) | 14:11 |
| Zelozelos | mathews just did the 1st upgrade last night | 14:11 |
| codingenesis | <Dr_Willis> : so that means we can have unlimited no of distribution on my hardisk !! | 14:11 |
| mbeierl | researcher: and you have changed the input volume past 100%? | 14:11 |
| bullgard4 | Dr_Willis: Ah, I see. Interesting. -- Thank you. | 14:11 |
| Zelozelos | i guess i let u know in a few hours if it worked ok | 14:11 |
| codingenesis | atleast we can have3-4 different os | 14:11 |
| researcher | mbeierl: yes | 14:11 |
| mathews | wathek: I dont know what really happened but I would say better to try copy the data first | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: depends on how many filesystmes/partitions you can fit | 14:11 |
| Pici | Eryn_1983_FL: Hrm. I'm still looking at my configs, and either I don't have enough caffeine in me yet, or I'm perplexed as to how its working properly. Give me a few more minutes. | 14:12 |
| codingenesis | can you give an example of any one... | 14:12 |
| bullgard4 | mathews: This works, much like in prevoous releases. -- Thank you for your help. | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: example of what exactly? | 14:12 |
| codingenesis | means how to partion the disks | 14:12 |
| mbeierl | researcher: can you confirm the microphone works in another computer? | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: your disk is partioned allready. :) You can have more then 1 partition. | 14:12 |
| codingenesis | ya right !! | 14:12 |
| mathews | Zelozelos: if u do,better and all the best but think many had put as upgrade failed | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: check the wikipedia page on hard drive partioning - they got some good info on the topic. | 14:12 |
| researcher | mbeierl: its a new one n teasted.yes | 14:13 |
| codingenesis | but for having different partions we have to make root file systems and home for each distribution | 14:13 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: each partition has its own filesystem. correct. | 14:13 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: so each disrto is on its own partition. | 14:14 |
| codingenesis | ya | 14:14 |
| codingenesis | ok | 14:14 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: you could try to share a single home partition. but that can get weird. | 14:14 |
| researcher | mbeierl: it shows something when I inserted the pin again | 14:14 |
| researcher | mbeierl: in which format do I record a sound file now? | 14:14 |
| mathews | codingenesis: if u wait I will give u a link for partition | 14:15 |

| * treebeen said, ah well, let's try the upgrade, if it doesn't work, I'm getting rid of ubuntu on that machine... | 14:31 | |
| mathews | treebeen: put this in Ubuntu launchpad as many have the same after upgrade | 14:31 |
| ouyes | how to output the display to different resolution screen? | 14:31 |
| aguitel_ | anyone are using myphotoalbum.com service ? | 14:32 |

| hari_ | hi guys | 14:34 |
| mathews | lrojas: just put ur problem here | 14:34 |
| lrojas | just a quick question, i see some not so old documents refering to using aptitude, as the prefered method for maintaining packages in an ubuntu distro, but i also see official documentation eschewing aptitude and going with apt-get... is there any advantage one has over the other? why the shift from aptitude to apt-get? | 14:35 |
| bullgard4 | [Unity] I just upgraded to 11.04. Why does Synaptic not show any DEB programm package entries? | 14:35 |
| andre_pl_ | bullgard4: what is a 'DEB Program' ? | 14:35 |
| andre_pl_ | your package manager is empty? | 14:35 |
| mathews | bullgard4: try in software center | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | synaptic works here in 11.04 for me. | 14:36 |
| bullgard4 | andre_pl_: I was not referring to a 'DEB program' but to a 'DEB program package'. | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard4: what exactly is it not showing? | 14:36 |
| andre_pl_ | bullgard4: that's equally confusing, what are you talking about SPECIFICALLY | 14:36 |
| andre_pl_ | all programs come in deb packages | 14:36 |
| treebeen | DEB! | 14:36 |
| mathews | synaptic never shows a program with .deb | 14:37 |
| bullgard4 | Dr_Willis: No entries are to be seen at all. | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | try some of the buttons at the bottom left perhaps. | 14:37 |
| andre_pl_ | bullgard4: There you go. thats all you had to say "Synaptic is empty, it shows no available software" something like that ;) | 14:37 |
| starky2 | hola | 14:37 |
| ThinkT510 | bullgard4: refreshed the package list? | 14:37 |
| bullgard4 | andre_pl_: I am talking about Synaptic. OK? | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | or you got some search entry entered. | 14:37 |

| Fuchs | bullgard4: you might want to provide a screenshot, since nobody seems to understand what exactly is missing | 14:41 |
| [snake] | Dr_Willis, it is a NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 | 14:41 |
| Fuchs | LetsGo67: do you have a virtual resolution defined in either /etc/X11/Xorg.conf or ~/.config/monitors.xml? | 14:41 |
| Fuchs | LetsGo67: if so: what graphic chipset is this, and why do you have it defined? | 14:41 |
| Dr_Willis | [snake]: could be its using the neauvu or whatever its spelt driver. | 14:42 |
| mathews | during upgrade process Ubuntu normally uncheck some of the software sources and it would say before the process | 14:42 |
| bullgard4 | Fuchs: All the variable contents of Synaptics is missing . Is this so difficult to understand? | 14:42 |
| Dr_Willis | [snake]: ive had that driver work with some of my nvidia systems.. some not at all.. and some sort of worked. :) | 14:42 |
| mathews | bullgard4: try what I said in terminal pls | 14:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Picture is worth 1000 wrds. :) | 14:42 |
| Fuchs | bullgard4: obviously, since nobody in here understands. | 14:43 |
| mathews | bullgard4: type "sudo apt-get update" | 14:43 |
| LetsGo67 | Fuchs: It's an ATI Radeon HD Mobile chipset. | 14:43 |
| [snake] | Dr_Willis, idk... I just activated one in the restricted drivers... | 14:43 |
| mathews | bullgard4: then "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 14:43 |
| Fuchs | LetsGo67: then look for a virtual screen size setting in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the mentioned monitors.xml | 14:44 |
| mathews | bullgard4: and see it lists any PPA lists | 14:44 |
| Fuchs | LetsGo67: if you have none, provide us your /var/log/Xorg.0.log in a pastebin service | 14:44 |

| mathews | pirsch; ok. u want to change background.Just google it and try | 15:12 |
| LetsGo67 | takamarou: That's encouraging. Aren't new versions supposed to be better than old ones? Like with Unity, LibreOffice and whatnot? | 15:13 |

| takamarou | LetsGo67, hah, you would think so. Truthfully, it's probably because I'm using different hardware + windows 7 than I ever have in the past. But, at this point I'm just plain frustrated. | 15:15 |
| LetsGo67 | takamarou: Because when i try to export videos, it will freeze. This is triple cores. Which Ubuntu is most stable for you? Unity or no? | 15:15 |

| takamarou | LetsGo67, I've had absolutely no issues with the previous version - 10.10. I've always thought that each Ubuntu release has been significantly better than the previous - we will see if that holds true with 11.04 (assuming I fix these install issues) | 15:17 |

| asdf_msc | trying to install mangler from source, but config aborts with no package x11 found. already have all libx11 packages from synaptic. what do? | 15:17 |
| takamarou | mathews, it just seems odd that that would be my error. I'm stilling getting (occasionally) a grub prompt - though, buggy - which means the grub install is still there. However, I am doing a reinstall with Win7 first this time. We will see. | 15:18 |
| mathews | takamarou; please see this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows | 15:18 |
| mainframe | I am having an issue with ubuntu (11.04) boot | 15:18 |
| robin0800 | takamarou, win7 will wipe out your grub | 15:18 |
| mathews | mainframe: explain it | 15:19 |
| LetsGo67 | takamarou: Perfect 10 was neat. But this 11.04? It's rather buggy. | 15:19 |
| LetsGo67 | i wish it was possible to backwards update. | 15:19 |
| takamarou | robin0800, right, right. I know that is the expected results. I'm seeing different results - it almost appears that Win7 only got halfway through killing my grub... | 15:20 |
| takamarou | LetsGo67, you can always download older versions. Make a backup of your /home folder, and it should be a pretty simple revert. | 15:20 |
| Pirsch | praveen: I did before but was told negative things about it | 15:20 |

| kokozedman | hey guys... is there a way to use the gnome panel widget "System Monitor" in the new Unity? | 15:21 |
| mathews | Letsgo67: the comments of each and everybody make it perfect | 15:21 |
| kokozedman | i'm pretty lost right now... i want to use several widgets, and that's the one i want to use first... but don't know how to add it at all | 15:21 |
| LetsGo67 | takamarou: It gets old. Maybe ill stick to LTS next time. It's just that i hate "stick with Fx 3.0" mentality. | 15:21 |
| simh | Nirkus: no luck. alternate installer also cant install grub | 15:22 |
| mathews | kokozedman: u drag and drop the application to Unity launcher | 15:22 |
| mnaines | kokozedman, if you mean add the System Monitor icon to the list of widgets on the left bar of the screen, the easiest way is to run the system monitor, right-click on the icon in the widget bar and click "keep in taskbar" | 15:22 |
| ThinkT510 | LetsGo67: you could use a ppa | 15:22 |
| kokozedman | mathews, no, you don't understand... i'm from Mac and I know that well... but it's the widget that displays the CPU usage, Network, memory, load ... | 15:23 |
| takamarou | LetsGo67, I understand that feeling. And like mathews said, new releases are always prone to bugs - but the dev team is always pretty quick at fixing them. Usually I don't dive into a new release this early, but I just happened to get a new comp at work, and thought I would try it out. Usually a couple months in is pretty safe. | 15:23 |
| bastidrazor | joe_9: you're welcome | 15:23 |
| kokozedman | mathews, mnaines, i mean "widgets" really, not application icons | 15:23 |

| kokozedman | k_sze, i suggest using the USB method... it's much faster, only needs USB pendrive ... and error-free! | 15:27 |
| takamarou | LetsGo67, can't really blame that on the developers. Ubuntu releases are only as good as the amount/quality of beta testers that test out pre-release versions. Unlike Win, Ubuntu can't pay people to test out all of the bugs, but Ubuntu still has to fit into a set release cycle.. Sometimes the joys of open source / free software are also it's downfalls. | 15:27 |
| praveen_ | avinashhm, hope it will work.. | 15:27 |
| mathews | mainframe: I am helpless but collect the details of the crash report and put in www.askubuntu.com or in ubuntu launchpad | 15:27 |
| avinashhm | praveen_, yeah ... hoping it will work .. | 15:28 |
| mainframe | alright thanks | 15:28 |
| simh | anyone has an idea why 10.04 installer (alternative cd) cant install grub on raid+lvm drive? | 15:28 |
| takamarou | LetsGo67, anyways, if you find the log files for whatever program that is crashing for you, and paste it, I'm sure someone can help you debug it. It actually may be your flaw that you are using a triple core machine (sometimes programs get conufsed by those situations). A log file would help pin that diagnosis down. | 15:29 |
| k_sze | k, time to checksum the image and reburn | 15:29 |
| mathews | takamarou; actually the beta and alpha versions are normally not using by common people as it creates problems.So the report of bugs are not taking place | 15:29 |

| takamarou | LetsGo67, I don't know of any way to limit a certain program to a certain amount of cores, unless it was feature that was programmed in. You could probably do some funky driver manipulation, and limt your entire system to two cores.. but you'd spend more time fixing that rather than dealing with your crashes. The better solution would be to find what exactly is causing the crashes in your program, and report that to the develop | 15:37 |

| simh | any idea why 10.04 installer cant instal grub/grub2 on raid1 /boot partition? | 17:21 |
| oCean | kara: no | 17:21 |
| oCean | !unity | kara | 17:21 |
| ubottu | kara: 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. | 17:21 |
| Scunizi | oCean: I actually may need to just mount the NAS as a samba share in fstab.. that might be a more appropriate way | 17:21 |
| oCean | Scunizi: agreed | 17:21 |
| kara | Thanks - I didn't like Unity (it was too cellphone-like) - so I booted to classic gnome. Should I attempt to upgrade Gnome to Gnome 3 then? | 17:22 |
| oCean | !gnome3 | kara | 17:22 |
| ubottu | kara: 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. | 17:22 |
| bin_bash | kara: No | 17:22 |
| bin_bash | Don't | 17:22 |
| kara | I mean, will it worth it? | 17:22 |
| bin_bash | kara: don't do it | 17:22 |
| kara | oh | 17:22 |
| kara | ok thanks | 17:23 |
| bin_bash | Also, gnome3 is horrible | 17:23 |
| bin_bash | just liek unity | 17:23 |

| bin_bash | Anyone have any idea why videochatting is causing a system-crash? | 17:34 |
| xjkx | bin_bash: its not the software. On ubuntu control center, if i pick "sound" menu and go on configure, speaking on the mic doesn't make the green bars move like before | 17:34 |
| Scunizi | IdleOne: kamcio2603_ originally started this conversation by telling me how he eliminated a virus on ubuntu he picked up through facebook. Kind of questionable as to the virus, but the original objection to his posts was based on one of his last posts which could be construed as off-topic if you hadn't been following it. Then after that is was all off topic. :( | 17:34 |

| ActionParsnip | bin_bash: do you see yourself in cheese? | 17:36 |
| bin_bash | xjkx: if everything looks like it's configured properly then it might bed ur mic | 17:36 |
| bin_bash | ActionParsnip: yes | 17:36 |

| bin_bash | mickey: do cd ~/Downloads | 17:46 |
| mickey | then run the command u gave me?, or the one i was trying earlier? | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | mickey: as long as you have changed the directory to the one containing the file then it will work. The interpreter will look in the pwd unless you specify a path | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | mickey: so if you saved it in the Downloads folder you will need to run: cd ~/Downloads; chmod +x ./veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh; ./veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh | 17:48 |
| Scunizi | Is there a way to get "locate" to search the db only for a specified path? | 17:48 |

| dayoflavos | Hi. Does anyone know of a PC Engine emulator for ubuntu? | 17:49 |
| dajhorn | ska: Or copy /var/cache/apt/archives from another computer that has already done the upgrade. | 17:49 |
| oCean | Scunizi: not really, but you can pipe the output through grep: locate blah | grep bin | 17:49 |

| gremset | A fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 here, when I reboot I do not see the output of boot and instead see my monitor telling "Mode Not Supported", after a few seconds I directly am entered to login dialog. I tried pressing "shift" key during boot, the grub does not appear. Any way to see the output/grub during bootup? | 18:38 |
| soreau | anson1234: What wifi chip is it? | 18:38 |
| Dr_Willis | gremset: check the grub /etc/default/grub file. Theres a option you can uncomment to enable a 'text' mode grub menu. I had to do that - for this monitor to show me a grub menu. | 18:39 |
| user122232 | hi all | 18:40 |
| Dr_Willis | gremset: oh wait.. on this box i enabled the 640x480 res for grub menu. :) that worked here | 18:40 |
| Dr_Willis | gremset: the line reads -> GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 | 18:40 |

| ThinkT510 | !unity | Guest30527 | 18:41 |
| ubottu | Guest30527: 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. | 18:41 |
| gremset | Dr_Willis: It says command not found. | 18:42 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest30527: try ubuntu classic, no effects | 18:42 |

| TexasDayLily | I understood about the PAE kernel but I wanted to keep it as straight forward as possible. I am planning to run multiple linux's with a window boot controller which I've done with xp but windows 7 in another kind of animal altogether. | 18:42 |
| gremset | Dr_Willis: oops sorry, typo works | 18:43 |
| user122232 | soreau: may i query u pls? | 18:43 |
| Dr_Willis | TexasDayLily: you could let grub2 handle it all :) | 18:43 |

| soreau | user122232: What have you tried so far that isn't working? | 18:47 |
| codingenesis | and is it worth to give ?? | 18:47 |

| user122232 | soreau: downloaded a lot of drivers and tried to config all. nothing is working :(( | 18:48 |
| Dr_Willis | dusf: you can move .wine somewher or have more then .wine direcgroy for your user.. that really doswent have a lot to do with teh package manager system toolks | 18:48 |
| arnab | is my home directory encrypted? | 18:48 |

| TexasDayLily | I've configured my windows on 2 disks with multiple partitions on each and some blank space/unused partitions for linux and for backup purposes. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll chime in later with more questions after I've done some more research. | 18:49 |
| dusf | Dr_Willis: but if i move .wine somewhere when i click on launchers in my applications > wine menu won't they look in the wrong palce? | 18:49 |
| Dr_Willis | dusf: you could make new ones I guess. I rarely use the icons in the menus for the wine apps. | 18:49 |

| photon | Dr_Willis, tensorpudding: In case you're interested, something like this works: sox --norm --combine concatenate `ls -x in_*.wav` out.wav | 18:50 |
| soreau | GhostWolf: Use pidgin instead of amsn | 18:51 |
| Dr_Willis | GhostWolf: thers a whitelist of apps that are allwoed to go to 'system tray' it may need to be added there. | 18:51 |
| dusf | Dr_Willis: if i create a symlink like that could any reference to /home/.wine be redirected to /media/dump/.wine ? | 18:51 |
| tensorpudding | photon: good | 18:51 |

| zachgretzinger | Does anyone know of a guide to create a small partition to install Windows on using Ubuntu? | 18:52 |
| BlouBlou | !gparted | zachgretzinger | 18:52 |
| ubottu | zachgretzinger: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 18:52 |
| patdk-wk | why bother? why not just let windows format it? | 18:53 |
| dusf | soreau: ty | 18:53 |
| soreau | Samot: That really has nothing to do with ubuntu. | 18:53 |
| zachgretzinger | ubottu yes, I already have gparted on a USB and have created the partition... I'm just not sure of what the file format of said partition should be / etc | 18:53 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:54 |
| Dr_Willis | nsisodiya: the files in /var/cache/apt/ i think. but be carefull with them | 18:54 |
| ThinkT510 | !update | nsisodiya | 18:54 |
| ubottu | nsisodiya: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 18:54 |
| Dr_Willis | NoXzema: yes. | 18:55 |
| Dr_Willis | NoXzema: they are in the repos. | 18:55 |
| industria | wad: try holding down alt+ctrl and use the arrows | 18:55 |
| soreau | NoXzema: No proprietary drivers come installed by default in ubuntu. To see the drivers it offers, use jockey-gtk | 18:55 |
| wad | industria, thanks! | 18:55 |
| GhostWolf | Dr_Willis, well my main thing is i don't know where the program amsn went to. it used to whenever i run it was on the top bar next to the internet connection icon but now i can't see it here | 18:55 |
| saimanoj | hi | 18:55 |
| zachgretzinger | Whenever I try to install Windows via the official Vista OS disk on its own partition I get an error telling me that the volume did not meet Windows requirements or something like that | 18:55 |
| wad | industria, that works! Is there a way to drag a window to a different workspace? | 18:56 |
| soreau | zachgretzinger: How is that related to ubuntu? | 18:56 |
| industria | wad: also meta (windows-key) and s shoudl give you an overview | 18:56 |
| saimanoj | i am having trouble while playing my videos, every thing is fine except the colours in my videos. Blue and Yellow colours are interchanged | 18:56 |
| saimanoj | please help me | 18:56 |
| alphamale | is there a better installer than the one that comes with ubuntu live | 18:56 |
| === joshua__ is now known as JoshuaL | ||
| === denny- is now known as denny | ||
| soreau | saimanoj: Which version of ubuntu? | 18:56 |
| NoXzema | soreau, so the proprietary drivers are only updated per new Ubuntu release? | 18:56 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: theres the one on the 'alternative' cd. | 18:56 |
| tensorpudding | wad: not by dragging it normally, no | 18:57 |
| saimanoj | 11.04 Natty | 18:57 |
| Dr_Willis | GhostWolf: alt-f2 type its name | 18:57 |
| industria | wad: you can right clivk the window title and you have options in the menu to move the window to another workspace | 18:57 |
| alphamale | is it better than the live cd | 18:57 |
| zachgretzinger | soreau Because I created the partition within Ubuntu... Using Gparted... I was asking if there is a special guide as to how to do it or if I was missing something (two part question) | 18:57 |
| tensorpudding | wad: but there is a keybinding which moves the focused window to other workspaces | 18:57 |
| Dr_Willis | GhostWolf: the systemtray icon may be blacklisted.. thats why its not shown. that url i gave. mentions how to whitelist differnt apps to be allowed | 18:57 |
| tensorpudding | wad: it should be under Keyboard Shortcuts | 18:57 |
| jordotech | whats the best ftp program for ubuntu? | 18:57 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: its the one debian uses.. i dont have any issues with the one ont he lvie cd | 18:57 |
| Dr_Willis | !ftp | jordotech | 18:57 |
| ubottu | jordotech: FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd | 18:57 |
| zvacet | alphamale: if you can not use live then alternate should work for you | 18:58 |
| soreau | NoXzema: No. Proprietary drivers are almost always provided by the hw vendor. Ubuntu tests the drivers and tries to find a version that will work with the version of kernel etc of their release. Then they make these drivers easily available, through jockey | 18:58 |
| Dr_Willis | jordotech: depends on your needs. | 18:58 |
| alphamale | i was getting a root filesystem undefined | 18:58 |
| alphamale | then reformatted to ext2 | 18:58 |
| wad | tensorpudding, thanks! | 18:58 |
| nsisodiya | Dr_Willis, Here is my problem http://groups.google.com/group/iitdlug/browse_thread/thread/ddb128ec44224414 | 18:58 |
| jordotech | Dr_Willis, i don't have ssh access for this client, gotta use ftp :( | 18:58 |
| NoXzema | I c | 18:58 |
| alphamale | then the installer would hang | 18:58 |
| mbeierl | !bestbot | jordotech | 18:58 |
| ubottu | jordotech: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:58 |
| alphamale | im not sure which option to pick: install alongside xp or other | 18:58 |
| Dr_Willis | jordotech: the normal gnome file manager can do ftp | 18:58 |
| alphamale | i dont even have xp on my machine | 18:59 |
| soreau | ! pm saimanoj | 18:59 |
| soreau | ! pm | saimanoj | 18:59 |

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 18:59 |
| Dr_Willis | nsisodiya: you may want to start posting problems on askubuntu.com or the ubuntu forums | 18:59 |
| jordotech | thanks guys | 18:59 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: so theres no other OS? | 18:59 |
| zvacet | alphamale: you have to choose from dropdown menu /root and format it as ext4 | 18:59 |
| alphamale | ext4 is the best then? | 18:59 |
| saimanoj | soreau: I am using ubuntu 11.04 Natty | 18:59 |
| saimanoj | i installed a fresh copy of it just yesterday and installed the ubuntu restricted extras from ubuntu software center unlike everytime | 18:59 |
| zachgretzinger | does anyone know if there's a way to install Windows on its own partion from within ubuntu? | 19:00 |
| zvacet | alphamale: that is what Ubuntu use | 19:00 |
| alphamale | puppy is my main os. i have 4 partitions on my internal hdd. i have a fresh 10gb set up for ubuntu | 19:00 |
| alphamale | and i can boot live cd from usb | 19:00 |
| soreau | saimanoj: What graphics driver are you using? | 19:00 |
| zelda | I did a forced "fsck" on reboot, and already rebooted, are there any logs saved about that fsck run anywhere? | 19:00 |
| alphamale | i just cant make it through the install | 19:00 |
| lukasz_ | Lukasz | 19:01 |
| alphamale | should i reformat the ubuntu partition with gparted from puppy first | 19:01 |
| alphamale | or let ubuntu installer do it | 19:01 |
| lukasz_ | czesc | 19:01 |
| zachgretzinger | Does anyone know if there's a way to install Windows on its own partition from within Ubuntu? | 19:01 |
| robin0800 | zachgretzinger, for ease of use make sure its the first partition (C) format ntfs or fat32 and you will have to reinstall grub afterwards | 19:01 |
| crash1hd | Hey all. I am trying to figure out I can connect to my ubuntu server via putty with ppk file and I can connect via smb but I cant connect via openssh? | 19:01 |
| zvacet | alphamale: are all partition primary because if they are that is the problem | 19:01 |
| saimanoj | everytime i used to run a mp3 file or so and let it search for codecs and install them instead this time i installed the ubuntu restricted extras package from ubuntu software center and having this problem now. Uninstalling it doesnot work | 19:01 |
| alphamale | im not sure what that means | 19:01 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: if you have part of the HD unallocated. you can tell the ubuntu installer to use the unallocated space and it will auto-partion it. | 19:02 |
| alphamale | my puppy partition is primary probably but how should i check and then set it | 19:02 |
| padi999 | I have frequent keyboard-freezes (can move the mouse, can't click and the keyboard does not take input. I have to longpress the shutdown button. Model: Thinkpad T420s, ubuntu 11.04. Can anyone tell me, where I can find useful log informations for that kind of events? | 19:02 |
| alphamale | no, it is all partitioned now | 19:02 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: pastebin the 'fdisk -l' output perhaps. | 19:02 |
| alphamale | but i can unallocate my 10gb if it will hurt | 19:02 |
| zvacet | alphamale: if you already have 4 primary partitions that is limit you can have 3 primary and mane one extended | 19:02 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: ubuntu will want at least a / and a swap partition. | 19:02 |
| alphamale | ok one sec | 19:02 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: the Installer CAN auto partion if needed. | 19:02 |
| alphamale | yea but what is best, auto or not | 19:02 |
| zachgretzinger | robin0800 I'm sorry but the terminology... I'm not an Ubuntu master... Are you saying that it's most advisable to make your first partition the Windows one and then reinstall Ubuntu on its own from there? | 19:03 |
| ThinkT510 | alphamale: depends on your needs, i always do custom and have just a / partition | 19:03 |
| tehnef | alphamale: it is my understanding that the auto partition just creates a big partition for / and one for swap. if you want to do some partitioning later for extra OS's and such, that is definitely best. | 19:03 |
| andygraybeal | i have a question, in 'recovery mode' is the filesystem read only? i messed up my fstab... how can i edit this again? | 19:03 |
| tehnef | zachgretzinger: yes, it's easiest to install windows first and then install ubuntu | 19:03 |
| zvacet | alphamale: if you want to save puppy install then select manual way and then install on empty space | 19:03 |
| Dr_Willis | andygraybeal: it shouldent be read only | 19:04 |
| alphamale | so i should unallocate my 10gb ext2 first? | 19:04 |
| robin0800 | zachgretzinger, no but installing windows after ubuntu wipes out grub so you just have to reinstall that | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres no real reason to use ext2 these days | 19:04 |
| andygraybeal | Dr_Willis, okay thank yuo, when i edit the fstab, it says i can't save it -- because that it's a read only file system | 19:04 |
| zachgretzinger | tehnef Well I've been using solely Ubuntu for a few months now and have everything I use in my current Ubuntu installation... It'd be really cool if I didn't have to completely restart | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | andygraybeal: you mauy be having hard drive issues that remounted it read-only. unmount it. and try fscking the filesystem | 19:05 |
| tehnef | zachgretzinger: then you'll need to install windows and then boot to the CD in recovery mode | 19:05 |
| Dr_Willis | andygraybeal: and you are editing it as root correct? | 19:05 |
| andygraybeal | yes | 19:05 |
| zvacet | alphamale: yes if that is empty space or xou get it by shrinking partition format as ext4 | 19:05 |
| tehnef | zachgretzinger: once you do that you'll have to reinstall grub | 19:05 |
| andygraybeal | re-trying | 19:05 |
| andygraybeal | Dr_Willis, it says 'warning no write permission' write when i run 'nano' | 19:05 |
| jordotech | I can't figure out how to add more virtual desktops than the 4 that are default in natty... how do i do that? I used to be able to just right click on my panels | 19:05 |
| zachgretzinger | tehnef I tried that... I get the following error: "Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation" | 19:05 |
| alphamale | what if i reformat it within puppy to ext4 now | 19:06 |
| ThinkT510 | andygraybeal: sudo nano /etc/fstab | 19:06 |
| andygraybeal | ThinkT510, okay - i'll try that | 19:06 |
| andygraybeal | ThinkT510, same thing | 19:06 |
| robin0800 | zachgretzinger, it has to be the first partion and ntfs or fat32 | 19:06 |
| ThinkT510 | andygraybeal: it can only be edited and saved by root | 19:06 |
| crash1hd | anyone here know lots about ssh? | 19:06 |
| andygraybeal | we're logged in as root, i think in what is called 'single-user mode' | 19:06 |
| andygraybeal | ThinkT510, we are in the recovery mode; dropped to root prompt | 19:07 |
| ThinkT510 | andygraybeal: ah, i see, sorry | 19:07 |
| alphamale | ok im pastebinning now one sec | 19:07 |
| zachgretzinger | robin0800 Ok, it was NTFS but not the first partition... Freaking crap. Is there a way to switch my current first one with the second one I created specifically for Windows? | 19:07 |
| patdk-wk | ! ask | crash1hd | 19:07 |
| ubottu | crash1hd: 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. :-) | 19:07 |

| gynter | Hello, any clues why I cant get Skype video working on the Maverick? Webcam itself works fine (with Cheese and VLC, device is /dev/video0), and Skype has /dev/video0 also listed, but when I press the "Test" button then nothing happens (black test screen is shown). | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | andygraybeal: you need to run stuff as root to edit system files.. 'sudo nano' thats NOT saying the disk is write protected.. its saying you cant wriote to the file.. | 19:08 |

| tehnef | zachgretzinger: you'll need to reformat the partition you've allotted to windows using the windows install disc, most likely | 19:08 |
| crash1hd | patdk-wk, I had already asked the question before that one (I had no response and didnt feel like repeating myself just yet) | 19:08 |
| robin0800 | zachgretzinger, windows is good it always wants the c drive | 19:08 |
| andygraybeal | Dr_Willis, okay - well im in 'recovery mode : root prompt' so i'm root. i don't know what is wrong. | 19:08 |
| Dr_Willis | andygraybeal: if hard drive failure is detected. it will remount the disk in read-onluy mode. to save data | 19:08 |
| tehnef | crash1hd: what's your issue with ssh? | 19:09 |
| crash1hd | patdk-wk, the question I had asked was... I am trying to figure out I can connect to my ubuntu server via putty with ppk file and I can connect via smb but I cant connect via openssh? | 19:09 |
| Dr_Willis | andygraybeal: check dmesg output. see if it mentions this. Check the mount command to see if / is read-only also | 19:09 |
| crash1hd | tehnef, see above this :) | 19:09 |
| tehnef | crash1hd: do you get an error? | 19:09 |
| Nirkus | simh: did you get it installed? | 19:09 |
| zachgretzinger | tehnef I tried that but since it's not the first partition ( Disk Partition 1) it won't install. I get an error message every time | 19:09 |
| andygraybeal | Dr_Willis, thank you | 19:09 |
| tehnef | crash1hd: can you telnet port 22 on the ubuntu box? | 19:09 |
| alphamale | here is my fdisk..,, | 19:09 |
| alphamale | http://pastebin.com/jG9xDZxk | 19:09 |
| zachgretzinger | robin0800 this is reminding me why I stopped using Windows | 19:09 |
| Davinciad | Can anyone direct me to a up to date howto on setting up a file, print, web, and mail server with the latest version of ubuntu server. Also any suggestion you might have in that process | 19:09 |
| alphamale | sda4 is the one i want to use for ubuntu | 19:10 |
| tehnef | zachgretzinger: yeah, that makes some sense. looks like you either need to backup and reinstall everything or add a drive | 19:10 |
| andygraybeal | Dr_Willis, we figured it out - in fstab it says 'errors remount=ro" | 19:10 |
| crash1hd | tehnef, I get could not resolve hostname 192.168.2.100:22 Name or service not known | 19:10 |
| Seta00 | is it just me or linux-headers doesn't come with config.h? | 19:10 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: so partition 3 is an extended partiton, and 5+ are logicsls in the extended | 19:10 |
| zachgretzinger | tehnef awesome. Well thanks for your help | 19:10 |
| Dr_Willis | andygraybeal: thats how its supposed to be. :) if any errors exist. you should fsck the filesystem to get it in good shape befor trying to write to it | 19:10 |
| user122232 | anyone knows how to get wlan rtl8192e to work for some samsung n510 netbook? i rly dont get it :(( i've tried many links of the ubuntuforums but nothing is working for me :(( | 19:11 |
| tehnef | crash1hd: telnet 192.168.2.100 22 | 19:11 |

| zachgretzinger | tehnef can I get VirtualBox in Ubuntu Software Center? | 19:11 |
| tehnef | zachgretzinger: i'm not sure...maybe? i don't do desktop virtualization anymore. | 19:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !virtualbox | zachgretzinger | 19:11 |
| ubottu | zachgretzinger: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 19:11 |
| alphamale | sorry i dont understand | 19:11 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: you are NOT using 4 primary partitions. :) | 19:12 |
| robin0800 | crash1hd, port 22 is ftp | 19:12 |
| Dr_Willis | well you are.. but #4 is a extended.. so thats ok. | 19:12 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: so where to you want the ubuntu / to be? | 19:12 |
| alphamale | sda4 | 19:12 |
| tehnef | robin0800: no, port 22 is ssh | 19:12 |
| alphamale | the 10gb one | 19:12 |
| crash1hd | tehnef, I get this Escape character is '^]'. then SSH-2.0-OpenSSH 5.8pl Debian-lubuntu3 | 19:12 |
| crash1hd | robin0800, port 21 is ftp | 19:12 |
| tehnef | crash1hd: good, that means it's working and it's putty's fault | 19:13 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: sda4 IS a extended.. you have 5to install to the logicals it holds.. | 19:13 |
| tehnef | crash1hd: can you manually connect with putty? | 19:13 |
| zachgretzinger | a non-free version of a Linux application??? Good lord, I think the world really is ending in 2012 | 19:13 |
| alphamale | sorry i dont understand | 19:13 |
| Dr_Willis | 1-4 = primaries, 5+ logicals in an extended partition | 19:13 |
| crash1hd | tehnef, yes with a ppk file | 19:13 |
| Dr_Willis | zachgretzinger: thers lots of comercial linux apps... | 19:13 |
| alphamale | it says sda4 is linuz | 19:13 |
| alphamale | linux and sda3 is extended | 19:13 |
| tehnef | zachgretzinger: there's plenty of commercial software for linux, and a lot of it is really good. | 19:13 |
| crash1hd | tehnef, I can now ssh realizing that I needed to do -p port as mine is not on port 22 | 19:13 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: ok sd3 is the extended. :) i jumped down a line | 19:14 |
| crash1hd | tehnef, but for secure reasons I didnt mention that :) | 19:14 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: so tell the installer to put / on sda4, and use the swap partition. | 19:14 |
| crash1hd | tehnef, I get Permision denied (publickey) | 19:14 |
| alphamale | do i need to make a swap myself | 19:14 |
| zachgretzinger | Dr_Willis that doesn't sound a little hypocritical to you? That's like your dentist giving you a lollipop when you leave | 19:14 |
| alphamale | or will the installer do it | 19:14 |
| tehnef | crash1hd: lol, telling me your port number is not going to make you less secure. esp if you're using key auth only | 19:14 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: it can use the existing swap partiion if you tell it to do so. | 19:14 |
| crash1hd | tehnef, ahh lol :) ok just being safe | 19:15 |
| alphamale | that one is used for puppy, will there be a conflict? | 19:15 |
| tehnef | crash1hd: assuming you have your keys all set up already and your SSH configured to accept them, you need to bring them into putty | 19:15 |
| alphamale | or is it like ram | 19:15 |
| crash1hd | tehnef, not that I dont trust others but youknow :) | 19:15 |
| alphamale | volatile | 19:15 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: you some how runnign both os's at the same time? :) they can shar e. | 19:15 |
| robin0800 | zachgretzinger, you could try to copy ubuntu from partition 1 to partition 2 | 19:15 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: dont expect hibernate/suspend to work however. | 19:15 |
| crash1hd | tehnef, umm I have the keys all setup on the server just not on this new install of ubuntu | 19:15 |
| alphamale | i dont want to do it at same time | 19:15 |
| alphamale | just multiboot | 19:15 |
| crash1hd | tehnef, when I run putty and add the key it works fine but how do I add the key to openssh | 19:16 |
| zachgretzinger | robin0800 how would I do that? And would the files and programs remain in-tact? | 19:16 |
| Dr_Willis | personally i would ditch puppy and put ubuntu on the whold HD.. :() | 19:16 |
| tehnef | crash1hd: you just need to add it to your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 19:16 |
| alphamale | why doesnt sda3 show up in puppy, i have never seen it before | 19:16 |
| trplU | is btfs production ready on ubuntu ? | 19:16 |
| Dr_Willis | alphamale: its a EXTENDED partition.. that holds logiocals.. you access the logicals. | 19:16 |
| crash1hd | tehnef, as a ppk file? | 19:16 |
| Davinciad | who here is very comfortable with ubuntu server setups | 19:16 |

| zachgretzinger | How would you (could you) copy Partition 1 to Partition 2? I guess basically what I want to do is swap two partition places | 19:18 |
| Dr_Willis | zachgretzinger: swap? as in put 1 where 2 is at.. and 2 where 1 is at? | 19:18 |
| zachgretzinger | Dr_Willis exactly | 19:19 |
| Dr_Willis | you would need a 3rd place to put one of them ... | 19:19 |
| trplU | do you ue sawp partition ? | 19:19 |

| Slor | Hey folks - I'm sure there is a tutorial for this somewhere, but I seem to be unable to find it. I have Ubuntu 11.04 installed, and I would like to be able to VNC to that machine and have the GDM greeter there to allow me to log in (don't want to attach to existing login sessions). I have set this up properly with previous releases, but I can't seem to find the magic for 11.04. Any guides? | 19:46 |
| aeon-ltd | Timesquare: using .xinitrc?, launch it using the file | 19:46 |
| Yellow|Nix | I can figure out how to share a whole desktop but thats not what I want | 19:46 |
| Airor | robin0800, english? | 19:47 |
| gh0st_ | yellow|nix, get a web-based front end for your newsreader (not sure if thats it, never used usenet) and set the directories etc.. on the server | 19:47 |
| Slor | too many vnc variations and old tutorials out there just adding more confusion for me. | 19:47 |
| wooky | someone else may have already asked this, but, What the hell has happened to Ubuntu?? | 19:47 |
| aeon-ltd | wooky: unity | 19:47 |
| Yellow|Nix | Hm | 19:47 |
| Timesquare | aeon-ltd: where can I find the default file? There is none in my home directory. | 19:47 |
| Yellow|Nix | Thats a good idea | 19:47 |
| gh0st_ | :D | 19:47 |
| Yellow|Nix | I'll have to see if there is any webbased frontends | 19:47 |
| Yellow|Nix | :-) | 19:47 |
| wooky | It's gone rubbish | 19:47 |
| rumpe1 | Daghdha, if you use a filesystem, that offer snapshots it would be possible (like btrfs e.g.) | 19:47 |

| gh0st_ | anyone know how to launch an app on startup that requires root privlages? (def. prefferably without a damn prompt) (needs X server) | 19:48 |
| Daghdha | rumpe1: That machine has no monitor, so it's a hassle having to hookup a monitor and boot a CD | 19:48 |
| Airor | robin0800, ??? I have no idea. | 19:48 |
| wooky | can anyone explain to a non tekkie, just someone who uses it, whats gone wrong(besides Unity) | 19:49 |
| Kyle__ | gh0st_: if it's not gui, /etc/rc.local | 19:49 |
| gh0st_ | its GUI | 19:49 |
| rumpe1 | Daghdha, well.. another way would be choosing a runlevel, which interacts much less with the partition... and you usually don't need to backup everything | 19:49 |
| Somelauw | Linux would have been great if it didn't crash that often. | 19:49 |
| aeon-ltd | wooky: well thats it really, the only gui changes are unity related | 19:49 |
| ThinkT510 | wooky: anything you need help with? | 19:49 |
| Daghdha | I think i conclude that i need to boot from a DVD and backup the OS. | 19:50 |
| RobinJ | nvm used amsg in stead of msg >.< typo | 19:50 |
| Kyle__ | Somelauw: It almost never crashes. Either you've got a bad driver, bad hardware, or are running a very poorly written program. | 19:50 |
| MonkeyDust | will gnome still be available in Oneiric? | 19:50 |
| wooky | but why does my machine keep logging itself out, and wont display video full screen......FRUSTRATING!! | 19:50 |
| rumpe1 | Somelauw, there are many distribution, which aim at maximum stability. Thats not the Ubuntu way. | 19:50 |
| Daghdha | That's ok though. I'll just order a extra monitor i guess. a little one | 19:50 |
| robin0800 | Airor, edid from the monitor is read by ubuntu old monitors sometimes didn't tell the truth on edid | 19:50 |
| gh0st_ | anyone know how to launch an app on startup that requires root privlages? (def. prefferably without a damn prompt) (is a GUI app) | 19:50 |
| gh0st_ | rc.local doesnt exist anymore!! ? | 19:51 |
| Airor | robin0800, the "Detect Monitors" from Monitor Preferences doesn't do anything. | 19:51 |
| rumpe1 | Daghdha, as i said... usually a backup of /etc, /home and maybe /var/www (or such) is sufficient | 19:51 |
| Braiam | gh0st_: /etc/init.d? | 19:51 |
| pentester123 | I need help with my apache upload limits. Already made the changes to php.ini but still cant upload more that 8MB | 19:51 |
| Daghdha | gh0st: I don't know if you would be prepared for this.. but .. su - <username> -c "command -args -arg2" is apparantly an option | 19:52 |
| Airor | robin0800, are you saying it's harder than you thought, or are you saying this monitor can't be used in Ubuntu? | 19:52 |
| rumpe1 | gh0st, really? check /etc/rc.local | 19:52 |
| Daghdha | rumpe1: I'm a tard. If it breaks i just wanna continue, not setup ubuntu. God knows what i did uptill now. | 19:52 |
| gh0st_ | braiam, thats there :) rumpel, its only rc.0- rc.5 and rc.s | 19:53 |
| mongy | anyone in here use any of the equinox themes in maverick? | 19:53 |
| escott | gh0st, rc.local won't work for you anyways because you won't have an X server running. if you want to start a gui application as root when X starts for a non-root user you would have to use the setuid bit and add it to the session | 19:53 |
| gh0st_ | daghdha, that wont bugg me for root password on startup? | 19:53 |

| Airor | robin0800, look what up? | 19:55 |
| gh0st_ | escott, sorry for noobness, setuid bit and add to session..... as in chmod? on the <filename>.sh? then add the .sh to startup apps? even though the .sh contains another command that requires root? | 19:55 |

| rumpe1 | crash1hd, /var/log/auth.log (afaik) | 20:09 |
| makem | crash1hd: you create a key on your local machine - ssh-keygen - no parameters needed. Then you copy the public key to remove machine with ssh-copy-id user@remote.address.x | 20:09 |

| Huginn | got a funny problem lol have 2 half running laptops and was wondering if there is a way to upgrade ubuntu 10.04 to ubuntu studio ?! | 20:27 |
| Nirkus | simh: hehe, ok :) | 20:27 |
| centHOGG | depends | 20:27 |
| makem | crash1hd: they you have to use scp or similar to copy the public key to remote. | 20:27 |
| makem | *then | 20:27 |
| cdavis | Can I nohup a process after I have started it? | 20:28 |
| makem | crash1hd: you just concatenate your key to the authorized_keys and make sure the permissions are correct. | 20:28 |
| mint | how do I find out what -cl means in "exec --help"? | 20:29 |

| tamale_ | Hello, everyone. I have a really strange problem after upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 - switching between windows has a noticeable delay. This is true whether I'm going between two terminals, two tabs in a browser, between tabs in my chat client, or between applications entirely. It's about a 1-second delay, when previously it was an instantaneous (or nearly so) action. It's extremely frustrating!! Any help would be appreciated. | 20:32 |
| makem | crash1hd: between which? | 20:32 |
| Polah | I'm on 11.04 with Ubuntu Classic and context menus (i.e. when I right click items) for the wastebasket (bottom right) and items at the top left (notification area, mail, sound, clock, indicator and shutdown menu) have their layout wrong, there's separator bars in the middle of text rather than between it light it should be. Any help? | 20:32 |
| crash1hd | makem, the server and my local | 20:33 |
| gribouille | hey, are you sleeping ? | 20:33 |

| crash1hd | makem, yes | 20:33 |
| crash1hd | makem, well between folders | 20:34 |
| ntr0py | Can someone point me to the location where aufs is mounted on livecds? | 20:34 |

The files /usr/lib/pkgconfig/lua.pc and /usr/lib/pkgconfig/SDL_ttf.pc are missing even though I installed liblua5.1-0-dev and libsdl-ttf2.0-dev. I have installed both these packages recently from source and they included the files so the only thing I can think of is that tshes files are being installed in an alternate PKG_CONFIG_PATH or they are missing.

| Guest97144 | i get this when i run sudo gedit (gedit:9179): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 | 21:37 |
| __import__ | Guest97144, that is normal when using sudo | 21:38 |

| MaRk-I | !gnome3 | 22:24 |
| ubottu | Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 22:24 |

| ldiamond | I somewhat setup DMRAID on two of my disks, but never worked. Now I want to go back to using them as normal disks. However, they seem to still be using the DMRAID/hpt45x driver. How do I get rid of that and put them back in a normal state? | 22:40 |
| PalinBachman2012 | joey1: are you sure its not muted in the volume control | 22:40 |
| joey1 | yes | 22:40 |
| aashift | lol @ Palin.. | 22:40 |
| ward1234 | make sure ur speakers are on ? | 22:41 |
| ward1234 | i did that the other day | 22:41 |
| aashift | lol @ word1234 | 22:41 |
| joey1 | yes my speakers are on and plugged in | 22:41 |
| kingofswords | hi | 22:41 |
| ward1234 | what sound card do u have ? | 22:41 |
| kingofswords | any1 know how i can fix my mbr after windows resize in gparted? | 22:41 |
| joey1 | the one with my mobo idk what its called | 22:41 |
| kingofswords | no windows in boot menu now | 22:41 |
| ward1234 | good for u kingof swords .. try virtualbox | 22:42 |
| joey1 | it worked b4 i updated | 22:42 |
| ward1234 | was there a grub update as well ? | 22:42 |
| kingofswords | i thought virtual box was like wine | 22:42 |
| wad | kingofswords, what happened? | 22:42 |
| ward1234 | it works great for me i run winxp/vista/7 | 22:43 |
| ward1234 | when i wanna game... | 22:43 |
| kingofswords | wad i increased my xp partition and windows didnt boot after that...then i upgrade-grub and it disappeared althogether from boot menu | 22:43 |
| ward1234 | and mintlinux | 22:43 |
| SJr | maco I tried creating the file you said, with that syntax, rebooting, but still no luck | 22:43 |
| wad | wine is a program that doesn't pretend to be Windows, but rather tries to intercept windows-like API calls and render them under X-windows for Linux. | 22:44 |
| blueberry | Hey y'all, quick question, what's the tool used to change the way the 'window spread', Unity/shell, etc. called again? | 22:44 |
| wad | I think. | 22:44 |
| wad | VirtualBox is a real emulator, you run another OS inside of the program. | 22:44 |
| kingofswords | i deleted a separate partition of fat16(which was used for windows setup files from usb install) at the same time | 22:44 |
| ward1234 | wine=wine is not an emulator | 22:44 |
| wad | kingofswords, hmm, that's worrysome. | 22:44 |
| kingofswords | virtual box is no good for me as i already have wine..... | 22:44 |
| ward1234 | i liek ti but soemtimes getting file dependancies right can b a real pain in the tuckus | 22:45 |
| kingofswords | all the windwos files and install are still there thought when i check in ubuntu | 22:45 |
| ward1234 | but thats weird | 22:45 |
| pectoral | kingofswords: virtualbox and wine are two completely different things. Wine is buggy whereas virtualbox is an actual full-on windows install | 22:45 |
| wad | kingofswords, sounds like your MBR might need tome attention. | 22:45 |
| kingofswords | ok | 22:45 |
| wad | There is a way to reinstall the MBR. | 22:45 |
| wad | Try google. | 22:45 |
| kingofswords | well i already have xp installed ..just cant get to it | 22:45 |
| kingofswords | yeh | 22:45 |
| blueberry | Somebody know this? What the tool used to change the way the 'window spread', Unity/shell, etc. is called? | 22:45 |
| pectoral | You can try booting off xp disk and doing "Fixmbr" | 22:45 |
| pectoral | and "fixboot" | 22:46 |
| kingofswords | someone here told me that my windows is set to logical partitioin and needs to be changed | 22:46 |
| wad | what pectoral said. | 22:46 |
| ward1234 | if u fixmbr.exe it will over right grub | 22:46 |
| pectoral | but then you will have to redo grub | 22:46 |
| wad | yeah, that too. | 22:46 |
| wad | I've done that before. | 22:46 |
| ward1234 | i think pectoral is right | 22:46 |
| kingofswords | yeh i tried to use r repair from xp disc but it wouldnt load...maybe cos its usb | 22:46 |
| wad | It's not as hard to fix as it seems, kingofswords. | 22:46 |
| kingofswords | i know i need to fixboot, fixmbr and exit in cmd prompt | 22:47 |
| ward1234 | <nod> kingofswords | 22:47 |
| wad | yes, then once it's booting to windows (and only windows, no grub), you boot to linux and fix the grub. | 22:47 |
| wad | Then you should be all happy. | 22:47 |
| pectoral | sounds like you pwnt your disk to me | 22:47 |
| kingofswords | pectoral yeh ive reinstalled grubs at least 20 times so thats no problme | 22:47 |
| ward1234 | afk going for a smoke | 22:47 |
| wad | When grub installs, it looks for Windows, so it can add it to its list of OSs you can boot to. | 22:48 |
| wad | Sounds to me like it's not finding Windows. | 22:48 |
| scoffin | my broadcom wlan does not work in Ubuntu 11.04 so I installed the ndis driver. Cool, works great.... but now the wired eth0 does not work. How to toggle between the two? | 22:48 |
| wad | So, get it to boot windows first, then Linux will play nice and setup everything in grub. | 22:48 |
| kingofswords | wad so i just do as pectoral said? fixmbr cmd and fixboot? | 22:48 |
| wad | I don't recall the details. | 22:48 |
| ward1234 | yes king | 22:48 |
| wad | Find some good article on google. But in general, that sounds right. | 22:48 |
| Somelauw | Okay. Basically. I have network manager and there is some peap network I want to connect it. Unfortunately I can't get it to connect. | 22:49 |
| kingofswords | ok so do i go into the install windwos section? | 22:49 |
| Sir_Gabriel | hi | 22:49 |
| wad | kingofswords, boot to a Windows install disk. | 22:49 |
| kingofswords | then when the partition bit comes up i choose r for reapir? | 22:49 |
| * wad shrugs. Dunno. | 22:49 | |
| pectoral | Yea i think its the repair console | 22:49 |
| Sir_Gabriel | Failed to execute child process "/home/gabriel/Desktop/XPlane9Demo/XPlanei686" (No such file or directory) | 22:49 |
| pectoral | its not recover | 22:49 |
| kingofswords | my windows disc is a slipstreamed ver on usb | 22:50 |
| kingofswords | i dont thinkt he recovery /repair thing comes up | 22:50 |
| Sir_Gabriel | that error is from PCMan File Manager 0.5.2 | 22:50 |
| kingofswords | pectoral thanks....wad thx....ill go try this | 22:50 |
| Sir_Gabriel | when I click on an executable file that's what I get. | 22:50 |
| wad | good luck! | 22:50 |
| kingofswords | ill need it=) | 22:51 |
| wad | probably... it's Microsoft! | 22:51 |

| Sir_Gabriel | joris: what drivers | 22:55 |
| jstoone | Hi guys, does any of you know in what repo img2txt is? | 22:55 |
| joris_ | I'll check it, something proprietary | 22:55 |
| jstoone | joris_: you think? | 22:56 |
| joris_ | ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver | 22:56 |
| Sir_Gabriel | No jstone, he meant his drivers are proprietary | 22:56 |
| jstoone | Sir_Gabriel: Yea I found out ;) haha | 22:57 |
| wad | Have any of you guys seen Unity working with the NVidia driver so that the desktop cube works? I fiddled with it for about an hour, but it doesn't seem happy. | 22:57 |
| joris_ | :p | 22:57 |
| Sir_Gabriel | I can help with nvidia, but never had ati. with nvidia there is a settings manager and you change it in there | 22:57 |
| trism | jstoone: it looks like it is in the caca-utils package in universe | 22:57 |
| coz_ | wad, yes I use cube in unity however at first setting Unity will crash,, that should ,, at some point. be fixed | 22:57 |
| wad | coz_, okay, I'll just wait then. And look forward to the day that my cube works. :) | 22:58 |
| jstoone | trism: Oh.. I totaly forgot. Think you're right! Thanks! | 22:58 |

| Flashtek | is there a list of MD5s for the current ISOs ? | 23:02 |
| coz_ | Flashtek, should be hold on | 23:02 |
| corinth | Hi channel. Where does 11.04 store the xorg.conf file? | 23:02 |
| coz_ | Flashtek, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 23:03 |
| regeya | corinth: /etc/X11 | 23:03 |
| jstoone | I've always been wondering what the md5 is for? What can a person do with it? I've seen it for a load of downloads etc. - always wanted to ask | 23:03 |
| regeya | but it doesn't normally have one, corinth. | 23:03 |
| Flashtek | coz_, thanks, that's not linked from the download page.. | 23:03 |
| corinth | Ah good to know...is there a way to have it auto-build one then? I'm using a virtual machine, and I'm trying to modify the resolutions available. | 23:03 |
| Flashtek | ok, so my MD5 is ok, but I can't get the server edition to install in my VM.. | 23:03 |
| kingofswords | hi back | 23:04 |
| coz_ | Flashtek, no problem nextime it s easily found in google with this search string ,,,, ubuntu hashes | 23:04 |
| ty90012 | md5 is used to check the integrety of files | 23:04 |
| kingofswords | pectoral, wad no joy | 23:04 |
| jstoone | - I know it's just a matter of google searches but I thought that if I asked I wouldn't be the only one learning ;) | 23:04 |
| ty90012 | most commonly | 23:04 |
| kingofswords | cant get into windows install | 23:04 |
| jstoone | ty90012: Oh! That rather smart... | 23:04 |
| Sir_Gabriel | lol @ pectoral wad | 23:05 |
| Flashtek | ty90012, verify the integrity of files.. indeed.. this was my first step in ensuring I wasnt being an idiiot and fighting with a corrupt download.. | 23:05 |
| jesse_ | hello all | 23:05 |
| jesse_ | is anyone else running a blog in ubuntu | 23:06 |
| coz_ | Flashtek, there is another way,, although it also has a hash,, you can run the minimal install cd which is on ly a 19 meg download | 23:06 |
| coz_ | Flashtek, very little chance of packet collisions etc,, for corrupt iso | 23:06 |
| jesse_ | using wordpress | 23:06 |
| jstoone | Flashtek: I think that's a good habbit to get into, as the internets are getting more and more crazed.. | 23:06 |
| Jingaling | so what is the general consensus of unity guys? | 23:08 |
| Flashtek | Jingaling, i've not tried it.. | 23:08 |
| Jingaling | u still on maverick flashtek? | 23:08 |

| Shwaiil | Hi ppl | 23:10 |
| vorlov | anybody is an upstart genius? | 23:10 |
| vorlov | im trying to figure out whats the best way to make an upstart script create a PID file for monit? | 23:11 |
| vorlov | and also what is the benefit of using "expect fork"? | 23:11 |
| iaindalton | coz_, is it possible to have the grid work but only on right monitor's right edge and left monitor's left edge? | 23:11 |
| Shwaiil | Q: How can I have permissions to unzip files to usr/share/directory ? I know about sudo, but the filenames are huge and I have to type it all on terminal ? :P | 23:11 |

| jstoone | iaindalton: there are shortcuts for moveing around on the different workspaces - ctrl+alt+(arrow keys) and you can move the selected window by doing the same key but also pressing shift - ctrl+alt+shift+(arrow-keys) | 23:12 |
| Flashtek | Shwaiil, yes | 23:12 |
| Shwaiil | Flashtek, tks for looking. How ? | 23:12 |
| iaindalton | jstoone: different monitors, not different virtual desktops | 23:12 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, compizconfig-settings-manager,, you probably will have to install it, although no longer sure why ubuntu doesnt include that with Unity | 23:12 |
| jstoone | Shwaiil: sudo <command> | 23:12 |
| Matt9 | my ububtu 11.4 install doesn't shutdown anymore. it goes to the logo and just waits... any idea's? | 23:13 |
| Shwaiil | yes, but without using the command line ? | 23:13 |
| PalinBachman2012 | Shwaiil: its like sudo gunzip filename | 23:13 |
| industrial | Can I do a reinstall of Ubuntu from a running Ubuntu system? | 23:13 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, you can disable edge bindings in Grid once you get compizconfi-settings-manager installed | 23:13 |
| PalinBachman2012 | you can type the first few letters of the file name and press tab | 23:13 |
| jstoone | iaindalton: ah, I see... well, I havent tried to use multiple monitors (yet) but have you tried to google this "problem"? | 23:14 |
| Shwaiil | PalinBachman2012, ah ok. But anyway, comparing to windows, its very hard :P | 23:14 |
| Flashtek | Shwaiil, YES... | 23:14 |
| Shwaiil | takes loads of time :P | 23:14 |
| PalinBachman2012 | Shwaiil: its just different, till you get used to it | 23:14 |
| zenner | i got a new sex toy, and it says it's "ubuntu powered", is this where I'd come for support? | 23:15 |
| jstoone | industrial: usb/cd + natty.iso = LiveCD/USB (: | 23:15 |
| Shwaiil | PalinBachman2012, I dont even know how to go to usr/share/.. | 23:15 |
| coz_ | industrial, a reinstall? well you can maually reinstall packages/software/ libraries ,, other than that ,, I dont think so | 23:15 |
| iaindalton | jstoone: Yeah. What's with the scare quotes? | 23:15 |
| mod | Hey all, I'm installing 11 on a brand new drive, when I make partitions I cannot type in a custom partition mount point but can only choose from the select list. Though, I can type in the partition size. Any idea why I cannot customize the mount point? | 23:16 |
| zenner | I stick the "ubuntu buttplug" up my rectum, and it's supposed to plug into a computer, and simulated thrusting of a gay man's penis | 23:16 |
| zenner | can anyone here help me with it? | 23:16 |
| iaindalton | coz_: disabled grid, but I can't drag windows to the other monitor still. My cursor can go over there when it's not holding a window, but even if I drag a window halfway off the first monitor, it doesn't show on the second | 23:16 |
| PalinBachman2012 | Shwaiil: in the terminal, 'cd /usr/share/' | 23:16 |
| niko | zenner: i guess | 23:16 |
| PalinBachman2012 | Shwaiil: and press tab after the first few letters, you will get the hand of it | 23:16 |
| PalinBachman2012 | hang | 23:16 |
| PalinBachman2012 | tab completion | 23:16 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, which video card are you using? | 23:16 |
| Shwaiil | PalinBachman2012, I was trying to go trough cd usr | 23:16 |
| Shwaiil | :S | 23:16 |
| jstoone | iaindalton: haha, didn't know if it could be called a problem or not so I just put them there, no offence at all mate (: | 23:16 |
| PalinBachman2012 | Shwaiil: i thot so | 23:16 |
| Jordan_U | industrial: Yes, that is possible, though somewhat complicated. | 23:17 |
| zenner | niko: so what should I do, should I stick the buttplug up my ass first or plug it into the USB port of my Ubuntu computer? | 23:17 |
| jstoone | industrial: Sorry for the lame answar. How come you want to reinstall? | 23:17 |
| iaindalton | jstoone: I can't use my second monitor. How's that not a problem? | 23:17 |
| iaindalton | coz_: GeForce GT 220. I have the official driver installed | 23:17 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, and do you have separate xscreens set up ? | 23:17 |
| jrib | zenner: this channel is for actual ubuntu support. If you don't have a real question, then please be quiet. No more warnings | 23:17 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, did you use twinview with t hat? | 23:17 |
| MaRk-I | jrib: he already got k-lined ;^) | 23:17 |
| jstoone | iaindalton: Did you see the thing about unbinding the grids with compiz? | 23:17 |
| iaindalton | jstoone: did you see that thing about me turning off grid? | 23:18 |
| coz_ | I missed that one :) | 23:18 |
| Yellow|Nix | Hey I was wondering if there was a CD burner program where you could setup lets say 50 CDs you wanted to burn | 23:18 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, are you using twinview? | 23:18 |
| iaindalton | coz_: looks like I forgot to enable xinerama :P | 23:18 |
| Yellow|Nix | All you have to do is change the CD? | 23:18 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, no no | 23:18 |
| iaindalton | is that what twinview is? | 23:18 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, no it is not | 23:18 |
| jstoone | iaindalton: god damnit, I'm sorry, I'm not paying enough atention.. | 23:19 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, open nvidia-settings | 23:19 |
| iaindalton | open | 23:19 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, click on "X Server Display Configuration" | 23:19 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, are both monitors listed graphically there? | 23:19 |
| iaindalton | yeah, then configure | 23:19 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, then click on the seondary monitor graphic ,, configure twinview set resolution | 23:20 |
| iaindalton | I have "separate x screen". you're suggesting twin view. what's that do? | 23:20 |
| Shwaiil | PalinBachman2012, hehehe I'm sorry, just one more.. to unzip, its "sudo gzip -d dir/filename.extension destination_folder ? | 23:20 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, thats why you cant drag to the other monitor | 23:20 |
| iaindalton | coz_: I thought enabling xinerama would fix that | 23:20 |
| coz_ | iaindalton, you have to use twinview to drag from one to the other monitor | 23:20 |
| iaindalton | but you say not to | 23:20 |
| iaindalton | ok | 23:20 |
| adam61 | i'm new to ubuntu, i haven't installed it cause i'm afraid it'll overwrite my windows files.. does anyone know how i can access these files from ubuntu from a live cd session? | 23:21 |
| jstoone | Shwaiil: You can also just use "unzip file_name.zip" | 23:21 |
| ty90012 | you have to mount the drive | 23:21 |
| === Wolf is now known as Guest58808 | ||
| coz_ | adam61, once installed ,, it will see the windows partition/drive and you can access it easily | 23:21 |
| ty90012 | http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows | 23:21 |
| jesus | hi | 23:21 |
| adam61 | how would i go about that, should i maybe be in a beginner forum? | 23:21 |
| PalinBachman2012 | Shwaiil: I think its gunzip | 23:21 |
| coz_ | adam61, not sure if there are special parameters for dual booting windows7 however I dont use it | 23:21 |
| === jesus is now known as Guest80095 | ||
| Shwaiil | jstoone, sudo unzip filename.ext destination ? | 23:21 |
| ty90012 | it may not always. I've had problems with it not recodnizing it | 23:22 |
| ty90012 | http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows | 23:22 |
| jstoone | adam61: You're welcome here (: | 23:22 |
| iaindalton | alright, gonna restart x server. if I don't return it worked. In which case, thanks coz_ | 23:22 |
| Guest80095 | does anyone know a program to watch tv? | 23:22 |
| PalinBachman2012 | or maybe gunzip is differnt... | 23:22 |
| PalinBachman2012 | for a tar.gz, not a zip | 23:22 |
| ty90012 | If you want to install ubuntu beside windows it has an easy wizard | 23:22 |
| PalinBachman2012 | lol i know that sounds so confusing a new user | 23:22 |
| industrial | Jordan_U: jstoone: any docs on it? GNOME3 messed with Unity :p | 23:22 |
| jstoone | adam61: If you use a liveCD/USB to install then you can set up a partition (the liveCD/USB can do that for you) and then when you've installed ubuntu you can choose which to boot - windows or ubuntu - when you turn on your computer | 23:23 |
| PalinBachman2012 | but, frankly, there is no reason, off the top of my head, why a new user should be messing with archives in the system folder | 23:23 |
| jstoone | Shwaiil: Yes, let me check for oyu | 23:23 |
| jstoone | Shwaiil: You* | 23:23 |
| escott | adam61, the livecd should mount the windows partition (or list it in the partitions it can mount) you can access the data that way | 23:24 |
| Shwaiil | jstoone, ehh "sudo unzip -d Downloads/filename.zip /usr/share/destination" didnt worked :P | 23:24 |
| PalinBachman2012 | Shwaiil: type pwd | 23:24 |
| PalinBachman2012 | are you in the directory where you want the file to end up | 23:25 |
| Shwaiil | PalinBachman2012, no | 23:25 |
| Shwaiil | I tough I didnt needed to | 23:25 |
| Shwaiil | I'll do that then | 23:25 |
| PalinBachman2012 | well cd into that dir | 23:25 |
| PalinBachman2012 | and then unzip from there, using ~/Downloads/myfile.zip | 23:25 |
| PalinBachman2012 | i hate zip and tar! | 23:26 |
| PalinBachman2012 | all these years, and I still never know anything complex with them | 23:26 |
| jstoone | Shwaiil: that's because the command is "unzip /path/to/file.zip -d /destination/path/" where the -d swich is telling it where to unzip to | 23:26 |

| Guest80095 | should* | 23:32 |

| nmaxchat | is it zero or O for eth? | 23:32 |
| usr13 | linuxrealm: What? Can you elaborate on that just a bit? | 23:32 |
| linuxrealm | if network manager isnt showing, something is janked | 23:32 |
| Sir_Gabriel | it has to be executable... but I can't get to the permissions of the file. | 23:32 |

| tensorpudding | donkeyinspace: you can see the value of a variable using echo | 23:40 |
| Guest80095 | Sir_Gabriel make sure that you have correctly typed | 23:40 |
| tensorpudding | donkeyinspace: for instance, echo $PATH | 23:40 |
| codex84 | i mount a pc game do i have run the easetup | 23:40 |
| tensorpudding | donkeyinspace: the $ means that PATH is a variable | 23:40 |
| codex84 | or autorun? | 23:40 |
| jrib | Pilif12p: reinstall | 23:40 |

| usr13 | nmaxchat: ifconfig | pastebinit | 23:42 |
| donkeyinspace | tensorpudding , im trying to compile with cmake but get a "If you have QT4 installed, make sure qmake is found in your PATH | 23:42 |
| eiriksvin | well the mount point keeps reading the install cd, but i cant get it to show mount point: / | 23:42 |
| Mitsukaru | guest: you want to watch tv for free on the internet then, without a tuner card? try hulu. :P | 23:42 |
| tensorpudding | donkeyinspace: you can install qmake from the software center | 23:42 |
| linuxrealm | usr13: thats fine, but he is new and needs to understand a few things so he can ask questions later... he may not have pastebin, as he can not access the net on that box... he would have to type it all in... | 23:42 |
| eiriksvin | is there a command to intall ubuntu from live cd that i can put into the terminal? | 23:42 |
| jstoone | Osmodivs: Ohm.. you could do the "sudo apt-get purge" I think, not sure at all.. | 23:42 |
| donkeyinspace | tensorpudding , it is installed | 23:43 |
| usr13 | linuxrealm: Did you see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605456/ ? | 23:43 |
| Guest80095 | Mitsukaru, you can watch tv free | 23:43 |
| Guest80095 | on internet | 23:43 |
| nmaxchat | usr13, I installed paste bin it | 23:43 |
| Sir_Gabriel | totally frustrating! is something wrong with my install? It's a fresh install even... | 23:43 |
| Guest80095 | there are a lot of webpages with tv channels via streaming | 23:43 |
| Osmodivs | jstoone, Hm, well, I'll just use the rm command for now | 23:43 |
| tensorpudding | donkeyinspace: if you want to know whether it's in the path, try 'whereis qmake' | 23:43 |
| linuxrealm | usr13: no, not yet, and i follow my process based on what he said when he came in | 23:43 |
| usr13 | nmaxchat: Good, now do ifconfig | pastebinit and give us resulting URL | 23:43 |
| Mitsukaru | Guest80095, yeah, like i said, on sites like hulu and stuff. what does this have to do with ubuntu? xD | 23:43 |
| Guest80095 | XD | 23:44 |
| jstoone | Osmodivs: yea... ;) | 23:44 |
| Guest80095 | yes but for example | 23:44 |
| linuxrealm | usr13: i said it like 10x now, /usr/bin/sudo service network-manager restart ; why hasnt he done that? its the first step. it will clear everything out in the stack. | 23:44 |
| Guest80095 | RTVE (a national tv program of spain) is live via streaming | 23:44 |
| Mitsukaru | ack! i glued my fingers with superglue! | 23:44 |
| jstoone | eiriksvin: I'm getting confused, when you say mountpoint, is it BIOS wise or? | 23:44 |
| linuxrealm | nmaxchat: have you tried that yet? yes or no... | 23:44 |
| donkeyinspace | tensorpudding , i know where qmake is. cmake is the one that does not find it | 23:44 |
| Guest80095 | and i proved to play with some player and it works | 23:44 |
| Mitsukaru | Guest80095, internet streaming? then just go to their site or follow their directions i guess. | 23:45 |

| Sir_Gabriel | It's like it doesn't know what to execute it with.... maybe I need to install something... It is supposed to run from the within the directory. | 23:46 |

| linuxrealm | jstoone: standard ping test | 23:46 |
| linuxrealm | just type in terminal,,, ping 4.2.2.2 | 23:47 |
| nmaxchat | linuxrealm, found it | 23:47 |
| jstoone | Sir_Gabriel: Sorry, lost track of you'r problem, can you tell? just say no, then I'll scroll up and find it ;) | 23:47 |
| usr13 | nmaxchat: So it appears that you have 2 ethernet devices, eth0 and eth1. eth1 appears to be connected to something, and has IP of 192.168.1.59 Right? You see that? | 23:47 |
| jstoone | linuxrealm: that's pretty cool... something linux only or does it work on other OS' too? | 23:48 |
| linuxrealm | did it reply, reply, reply,, or time out | 23:48 |
| nmaxchat | usr13, I have no idea | 23:48 |

| linuxrealm | 4.2.2.2 4.2.2.3, 4.2.2.4. i do this to test if resolv.conf is the issue, typically if one can ping an ip, its resolv.conf | 23:48 |
| linuxrealm | nmaxchat: yes or no, time out or reply to that ping 4.2.2.2 | 23:49 |
| linuxrealm | jstoone: those ip's have been around since um,,, the beginning ;) | 23:49 |
| nmaxchat | linuxrealm, Its slow | 23:49 |
| usr13 | nmaxchat: So you already have a connection to the internet. Do you see the entry for eth1 ? ... with an IP of 192.168.1.59 | 23:49 |
| Sir_Gabriel | basically it's not a permissions problem... Maybe I have to install something though? | 23:49 |
| linuxrealm | nmaxchat: not what i asked... does it say reply or time-out | 23:49 |
| linuxrealm | nmaxchat: have you used computers very long? again, no offense, just would like to gauge your experience. kinda wonder how you found about this room... | 23:49 |
| nmaxchat | usr13, yes | 23:50 |
| jstoone | Sir_Gabriel: what are you trying to do? | 23:50 |
| linuxrealm | usr13: he just wants to access the net... lol.. not the details | 23:50 |
| usr13 | nmaxchat: Ok, so do you have just one netwrok cable connected to this PC? | 23:50 |

| kenneth__ | If I use 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 down && sudo ifconfig wlan0 up', 'up' produces a input/output error. | 23:54 |

| kenneth__ | Guest80095, I have a feeling I have a hardware issue based on the fact that I'm also having additional problems in Chrome OS with the wireless. | 23:56 |
| escott | muay-guy what problem | 23:56 |
| kenneth__ | Guest80095, are you aware of a log I can possibly refer to that may give me some idea of what is going on? | 23:56 |
